Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| I want to tie this back to the first impeachment trial. | ||
| Rahim, you remember this, and if you see the film The Brink, I would go around the world when I took that year to go to Europe and talk to the populist nationalists, and I had this little explanation. | ||
| I'd have the three dots of the triangle, China, Persia, Iran, and Turkey, right? | ||
| And of course, Samantha Bee and all these guys begging me, I'd say, it's O'Bannon, they don't even have treaties. | ||
| You know, I've spent my kind of life on this, from a young naval officer in the Pacific to Goldman Sachs and seeing international business and helping being part of the teams that finance a lot of that, to a graduate degree at Georgetown in National Security Studies, HBS, all of it. | ||
| So I don't come at this from, hey, you know, just throwing stuff out there. | ||
| This is the world in which we deal in, right? | ||
| And McKinder and these guys kind of spotted it years ago. | ||
| And the Brits and the brains of how they built their empire understood that. | ||
| That's what the choke points are about. | ||
| That's the central part of the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| And the elites in our country understood this. | ||
| This is why the 20th century was the bloodiest century in mankind's history, okay? | ||
| But we came through it and eventually took down the Soviet Union with Ronald Reagan, the evil empire, and had that opportunity starting in the 90s and starting in the 2000s to create something differently and we didn't. | ||
| Why? | ||
| And the reason Donald Trump, the reason the Tea Party was in 2010 and followed on six years later by Donald Trump, two massive victories that are inextricably linked with Brexit thrown in the middle of that, it's the managed decline, the managed decline Of our country, by the elites. | ||
| This concept, if you get into this, Thucydides' trap, which Kissinger and Graham Allison tried to run back in the Soviet Union days, but now do it to China, say, oh, we're the declining power, and they're the rising power, and that's just an immutable law of nature, right? | ||
| And in that, the declining power, and 12 times out of 15, I think it is, you know, Graham Allison says, there's been a war. | ||
| Because the declining power's elites can't handle it. | ||
| And that's the whole concept of what Hillary Clinton and Jake Sullivan and these guys, they all believed before we came with Trump and said, no, we're going to confront the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| We actually hold the cards. | ||
| We hold technology. | ||
| They steal from us, but we allow it. | ||
| We hold the capital markets, which we let them have it. | ||
| We control it. | ||
| We can take those jobs back. | ||
| It's not, as I told Paul Ryan one time, it's not the second law of thermodynamics. | ||
| There's not some physical law that makes those high value added jobs go to China. | ||
| That is human agency. | ||
| It's human action and we can reverse that, as you saw, because they're a mercantilist power and you can't have this concept, this fetish of free trade when you're against a transnational criminal organization that is a mercantilist power. | ||
| And we're what they call a subsidiary state. | ||
| We provide raw materials to them, right, in exchange for finished products. | ||
| That's why you have this this embedded trade deficit. | ||
| But that can all be changed with the Peter Navarro tariffs and more aggressive economic nationalist policies. | ||
| But this is the process that we've now come, and we're in dangerous territory in that 25-year deal. | ||
| Remember, they left Alaska. | ||
| Put it in context. | ||
| Blinken starts with this two-minute kind of bleeding, right? | ||
| A two-minute bleeding, you know, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that. | ||
| You know, your human rights record's really terrible, right? | ||
| Little worm. | ||
| And Tiger Yang, who's a killer, He was the translator for Deng Xiaoping when he came to the 70s. | ||
| He's been one guy all the way through. | ||
| A killer. | ||
| Wan Qishan and Xi's hammer. | ||
| 20 minutes on full blast. | ||
| And they played that only about 9 trillion times in China. | ||
| Humiliated the United States. | ||
| And instead of getting on the plane and flying home and saying, thank you very much, we're kicking you out of Alaska, we're gone. | ||
| They went the next day and got beat up more. | ||
| Right? | ||
| This is the situation we're in and it is dangerous and it's dire and you now see the bets the Biden administration is making on finance and Wall Street can't get enough of it because the stocks are going to get up and their and their deals are all tied to the stock price getting up. | ||
| No, not just long term thinking, intermediate thinking. | ||
| Here's the plan. | ||
| Here's their plan. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| The CDC said today schools are going to be open in September. | ||
| They're going to start pulling off. | ||
| You know, the CDC came out the other day. | ||
| Don't need all this hygiene stuff we had last year. | ||
| It's all nonsense. | ||
| It's all fallacy. | ||
| They're going to open this up. | ||
| They're going to flood the zone with trillions of dollars of cash. | ||
| $8 trillion this year. | ||
| $4 trillion federal budget. | ||
| $2 trillion in COVID. | ||
| $2 trillion on infrastructure. | ||
| $8 trillion. | ||
| $8 trillion. | ||
| Flood the zone. | ||
| Get the stock market up. | ||
| Get the economy, the Federal Reserve, as I said, the economy is at 6.6 this year. | ||
| Higher next year. | ||
| It'll be on fire in the spring or summer of 2022. | ||
| And they're going to say, show me what you got. | ||
| Where's your Tea Party revolt here? | ||
| Tell them we've got full employment, people got money in their pocket, all the Carnival cruise lines are packed, every place in Myrtle Beach is sold out, everybody's having the summer of their life in 2022. | ||
| It's like the years after the French Revolution when the debauchery was crazy. | ||
| It's going to be party time, it's like the roaring 20s after World War I. And they're going to sit there and go, hey you populists, hey Trump, Hey Bannon, hey Navarro, hey National Pulse, Boris, show me what you got! | ||
| I got an economy on fire, I got the country open, and so China's taking over the world, right? | ||
| So we've destroyed the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve, so we've destroyed future generations. | ||
| Hey, you know, how are you going to do in those congressional districts? | ||
| How are you going to do up in Pennsylvania and Ohio in those Senate races? | ||
| Show me what you got! | ||
| Because we've got, we've used basically the full faith and credit of the deplorables as a weapon against them. | ||
| And this is, that is the plan. | ||
| That's their plan. | ||
| That's where they don't care down the border. | ||
| We're hammering them every day. | ||
| His poll numbers is upside down. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| They're making a bet. | ||
| Open the border, try to change, try to change the voting base down there. | ||
| And, you know, we'll let the national polls, we'll let the war room, we'll let, you know, Trump tweet some stuff out. | ||
| He can go to the border all he wants. | ||
| We don't care. | ||
| We're making a bet and we're going to hammer through and the woke media is going to have their back. | ||
| Mr. Boris Epstein, thoughts, comments, analysis. | ||
| Well, Steve, I couldn't tell that you didn't get a lot of sleep last night, okay, from the last two segments. | ||
| It sounds like you maybe felt a little bad that you whined on your own program. | ||
| Yeah, he's making up for it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm making up for it. | |
| You're good. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| I'm a little tired. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve didn't get enough snoozy-snoozies, so now he's got to come in and punch China, Iran, globalists. | |
| You know when the expiration of the original JCPOA was supposed to be? | ||
| It was 2025! | ||
| disagree with anything you said toward the force there and let's not forget this the Biden team are inching closer and closer to taking the sanctions off Iran and and looks like they want to go back into that Iran nuclear deal you know when the expiration of the original JCPOA was supposed to be it was 2025 October 2025 was the end of the deal at which point Iran was allowed to do whatever they wanted You know when 2025 is? | ||
| It's in four years, folks. | ||
| It's tomorrow. | ||
| It's tomorrow. | ||
| If Biden wants to go to that deal, and God forbid, keep the same dates, that means that not only is Iran allowed to go back to cheating and do whatever they want, completely scot-free, with absolutely no ramifications, The whole thing's over in four years. | ||
| And say they even go, well, you know, President Trump pulled the plug and maybe we'll give you two extra years or three extra years. | ||
| Either way, by the time the year 2030 rolls around, and it's going to be here in a blink, Iran will be absolutely untied. | ||
| There will be continuing Their closeness and their cooperation with China. | ||
| They're signing 25-year agreements. | ||
| The most that America could come up with in that terrible Iran deal was 10 years. | ||
| And keep in mind, when they all got to Europe and they all were sitting around and negotiating the deal, the Obama administration and the United States had all the leverage. | ||
| Had all the leverage. | ||
| By the time they walked out, they gave it all to the mullahs of Iran. | ||
| The sanctions. | ||
| The international acceptance, the international business, the banking, all of it got handed back to the mullahs. | ||
| So the reason we are here today, the reason that Biden now is considering going back into that deal is because they didn't make the right deal in the first place. | ||
| And we have to be loud about this. | ||
| We have to be strong about it because Iran is an issue that's not to be ignored. | ||
| China is our largest long-term metaphysical competitor. | ||
| There's no two ways about it. | ||
| It's our strongest adversary. | ||
| Iran is likely our most dangerous immediate threat because Iran isn't trying to overtake us as one hegemon goes down and the other hegemon rises. | ||
| Iran is funding terror against the United States and against our allies today, right now, this second. | ||
| So if Joe Biden, it's not Joe Biden, who used to be Joe Biden and his handlers believe they somehow can deal with Iran and bring Iran back to the table, all they have to do is look what Iran did with the last deal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Iran completely ignored it, they cheated it, and they spat on the face of Obama. | |
| I'm not disagreeing with you, but here's the reality though, with the Chinese money and the Chinese buying of the oil in Venezuela and in Iran. | ||
| Iran and the Mullahs, and this is when President-Elect Trump went down to see Obama in the first couple days after he came back. | ||
| All they wanted to talk about with Trump was Korea. | ||
| I go, excuse me? | ||
| Korea. | ||
| Korea is the greatest, the biggest problem you're going to have is Korea. | ||
| It's all Korea, Korea, Korea. | ||
| North Korea? | ||
| I said, it's a vassal state to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| He doesn't do anything. | ||
| He doesn't do anything that he does not get signed off by the Home Office. | ||
| He does a little squirrely stuff every now and again, but they are totally, it's a vassal state. | ||
| You notice those missiles aren't pointed to Beijing, they're always dropping them in the water next to Japan, right? | ||
| He's used to keep the United States on his back foot up in the Northwest Pacific, okay? | ||
| Now you're going to have the Mulas because of the 25-year deal. | ||
| They don't exist. | ||
| The Persian people would overthrow him. | ||
| They don't exist. | ||
| Unless they have the financial and military backing of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| They are now a proxy. | ||
| They are now a proxy. | ||
| Just like Turkey and Erdogan, the same thing is going to happen in Russia. | ||
| A lot of Africa. | ||
| Let's not forget Africa. | ||
| Oh, and then you get the sub-Saharan Africa, you have the Caribbean, look at the Bahamas, you've got the Caribbean, you now have, hey, the Bolsonaro government is essentially falling right now, okay, and it's falling principally not just the virus's drug reporting, but Ernesto, the great foreign affairs secretary, you know, totally pro-American. | ||
| They're falling because of the blowback about the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| They didn't bring the Chinese vaccine in. | ||
| The military and the business class, they want deeper ties with China. | ||
| China sees Venezuela and Brazil as Liebensraum. | ||
| They see that as their living space as far as resources go. | ||
| They're all over Latin America. | ||
| They're all over the Caribbean. | ||
| They're all over Sub-Saharan Africa, okay? | ||
| Remember, Hitler and Mussolini and the Junta and Itojo in Japan just didn't appear in 1941. | ||
| Go back, that was ten, twelve, fourteen years of build-up, okay? | ||
| 14 years of buildup. | ||
| With Churchill sitting there, and the thing, yes, 20 from the war, but I'm saying, yes, you're exactly right, the 1920s. | ||
| So it was a long-term buildup, but at least it was on the front burner, or it should have been on the front burner from the 1930s on, just like what's happening today. | ||
| This is the structure of it. | ||
| And you've got two things, you either confront it, With the super hawks and the hardliners? | ||
| Or are you going to be compromised about it? | ||
| Why do you think we spent so much time on the hard drive from hell? | ||
| They're compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, whether it's Jake Sutherland up at Harvard at the Belford Center, or it's Tony Blinken at University of Pennsylvania with the Biden Center. | ||
| Hey, don't take it from us. | ||
| Look at Natalie Winters. | ||
| You've got a 19-year-old kid from the University of Chicago under the tutelage of the great Raheem Kassam that's drilling down every day and showing how compromised they are. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They're not going to stand to this. | ||
| Listen, if they weren't on the payroll, do you honestly think that any of the Russians ever talked to Ronald Reagan? | ||
| That thing in Alaska. | ||
| That two minutes of bleeding you got some human rights violations in Taiwan and Hong Kong all this bleeding and Yang puts them on blast Hey, you got you're not gonna tell us anything, right? | ||
| And by the way, your elites have been telling how you're systemically racist you all this Boris give us quick We got 30 seconds. Give us your social media handles brother. First of all, could you imagine that happening in Tehran? | ||
| During World War two or in 43 or a Yalta in 45 or past them in 45 That is how superpowers used dealt with one another China is not treating us like a superpower Thanks to Joe Biden at Boris never said whatever Boris underscore Epstein Boris underscore EPS HTE YN on the gram Great times today. | ||
| Keep up that strength, Bannon. | ||
| Keep up that energy. | ||
| Stay strong. | ||
| God bless. | ||
| Next, we're gonna give you a speaking role next time you come in as a guest. | ||
| Okay, Boris Epstein, the road to 2022. | ||
| Two trillion dollars, ladies and gentlemen. | ||
| Another two trillion dollars coming your way. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Gonna show you how to fight back with Maggie Vandenberg, Fox City Midge, precinct committeeman. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. Pandemic. Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. Rahim, by the way, Maggie's going to join us here momentarily. | ||
| She's coming back for her precinct committee meeting. | ||
| No, just kidding. | ||
| But last night, and in fact, we have the picture of all the participants. | ||
| Don't put it up yet. | ||
| I want to make sure we do it. | ||
| I'm really proud of this audience. | ||
| Look, this show is known worldwide now as a place people want to come and address this audience. | ||
| And the reason is because of what you are accomplishing. | ||
| And I know when it sounds like you're talking about high-level geopolitics and high-level capital markets in the city of London and Wall Street and in Beijing and in Tehran and Persia and all this and it sounds so big and so overwhelming and they're talking trillions of dollars. | ||
| Hey, I'm just a little guy. | ||
| No. | ||
| The basis of this country, right? | ||
| Remember the revolution started, it started with folks just like you, right? | ||
| Wasn't high level. | ||
| It started with guys just like you in resistance, whether it was in Boston, whether it was in Lexington or Concord or all over the country, right? | ||
| Started with the committees of correspondence. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Lawyers jumped in there and led it. | ||
| John Adams, you had Thomas Jefferson, great. | ||
| Then you had the revolutionary leaders of Hamilton, the young Aaron Burr, Hamilton, the fighters with Washington and the great effort we did, right? | ||
| In the militias down in South Carolina, all of it, but the backbone of that revolution was you. | ||
| The backbone of that revolution were just the cussedness, grit and determination of the American people, which Franklin had told us was a new kind of form of person, right? | ||
| It was basically the world's People that live in these closed European societies that are really highly structured, right? | ||
| That we're able to come here and breathe the air of freedom and liberty. | ||
| Why is our biggest allies in this effort, the Lai Bai Jing, why is this show simulcast in Mandarin throughout the world to the diaspora of the Chinese people? | ||
| And I do these Chinese TV shows every Wednesday and during the week. | ||
| Half-hour-an-hour interviews all the time, because they see how they prosper in the West, right? | ||
| The little guys in China see how they prosper in the West. | ||
| The last great civilization has not had freedom, and now you're having this new civilization, the American civilization, that Rabbi Sparrow tells us is this new version, new ethos of the Judeo-Christian West. | ||
| It goes back from time immemorial about freedom, right? | ||
| And here, You're seeing that it's being suppressed. | ||
| That's why Naomi Wolf, who's no Trump fan and no fan of the Deplorable, she's sitting there going, this is social credit score. | ||
| It's not just a vaccine passport. | ||
| And this is where the tech oligarchs, the state capitalists in the big government completely and totally get control of you. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Not a conspiracy. | ||
| She's a tech person, right? | ||
| She can work through this. | ||
| Just add one more thing to that, which is of course what the main thrust of the day is going to be for Joe Biden, and that is gun control. | ||
| That is the totally, obviously illogical position that the left is taking on this, which is to say that, you know, ACAB, right? | ||
| All cops are a bad word. | ||
| Defund the police. | ||
| All of that. | ||
| You know, reforming, politically reforming the armed forces of the United States. | ||
| Put political commissars. | ||
| It's like the Russian Army, like the Soviet Army. | ||
| The shock troops of the Democratic Party of America. | ||
| Don't forget, they're going through their Facebook, they're vetting their political opinions. | ||
| Social credit score in the military. | ||
| And at the same time, you ordinary citizens may not own weapons to defend your life, your liberty, your pursuit of happiness, your property, your family, your communities. | ||
| I mean, look at what happened to the McCloskeys, right? | ||
| Defending their property. | ||
| And they end up being the ones in trouble. | ||
| And this is what Biden is pursuing today. | ||
| These are the executive orders that are going to be signed today. | ||
| Nobody can tell me at this point, not Samantha Bee, nobody can tell me at this point that this is not a very, very well thought through and orchestrated thing. | ||
| This is one of my greatest frustrations with some of the... What do you mean? | ||
| It's well thought through and orchestrated. | ||
| That's what I'm saying. | ||
| Nobody can tell me it is not. | ||
| This is one of the problems I have with some people on our side who wake up every day and convince themselves that, oh, Democrats are idiots. | ||
| If they're idiots and you're getting rolled by them, what does that make you? | ||
| Here's the difference. | ||
| Let me tell you the difference between what you've seen with Biden all the years and knowing how the city works. | ||
| Compare the difference in the first hundred days of the Trump administration, the first hundred days. | ||
| We came in with these executive orders we planned out, but putting it together. | ||
| But we did depend upon the establishment to take on certain things. | ||
| Obamacare, because they had passed 20 bills. | ||
| The tax bill. | ||
| If you look, and here's the thing, is that the Republican establishment has no concept of how to govern. | ||
|
unidentified
|
None. | |
| Zero. | ||
| None. | ||
| This is why you're more powerful. | ||
| This is why Maggie shows up. | ||
| Why are they in panic mode right now? | ||
| Is Maggie with us? | ||
| I want to bring in Maggie. | ||
| They're in panic mode because Dan Schultz, you've got a former West Point guy out in the deserts of Arizona, You've got the War Room, and you've got people like Maggie, and they're showing up, and they're in panic mode, throughout the country, because you're getting on the phone going, hey, when is the Precinct Committee meeting? | ||
| What? | ||
| Who? | ||
| What? | ||
| What do you know? | ||
| Well, we're leafleting this Saturday, if you'd like to come along. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And by the way, here's a way to send a donation. | ||
| They want your money, and they want you to go door-to-door. | ||
| Right? | ||
| But they don't have a governing philosophy. | ||
| There's no governing philosophy on this. | ||
| Look at some of these groups that are being announced right now. | ||
| Tell me where the governing philosophy is. | ||
| Where does it compete? | ||
| Where does it have an answer to? | ||
| Have an answer to what we just walked through about the Eurasian landmass and what the convergence of fourth industrial revolution of advanced chip design and robotics, right? | ||
| And artificial intelligence and now genetic engineering and gene editing. | ||
| And you just can't fall back and say, oh, we just need liberty and freedom. | ||
| Yeah, we need that. | ||
| Absolutely need that. | ||
| But that's like a beginning. | ||
| That's not what we're going to do when we get in. | ||
| And you're seeing the difference in Pelosi and Schumer and Biden. | ||
| And remember, these people have worked together for 40 and 50 years. | ||
| Remember when Biden was up there, Schumer was the congressman, I think, on a lot of Biden's activity on the police bill back in the 90s. | ||
| I think Schumer's in Congress. | ||
| Pelosi's in Congress. | ||
| These people have worked together for a long time. | ||
| They have a governing philosophy. | ||
| I adamantly oppose that, and I think most people in this audience do, and you see what it's doing. | ||
| But they're running the tables in this first hundred days, and Biden now thinks that he is going to be a historic figure. | ||
| Like, FDR, or like, for them, FDR and Lyndon Johnson. | ||
| He'll be the third latest, so not Obama. | ||
| And my sources are telling me, because I've always been, hey, it's Susan Rice and the Obama faction in there. | ||
| It's not quite that. | ||
| They're very powerful. | ||
| Don't know if she runs the Domestic Policy Council, but Klain and the Biden guys, and all the networks they've got up here on the Uniparty. | ||
| That they're running the tables on this, right? | ||
| They're running the tables on this, and there's got to be a counter-narrative. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| I said it a couple of weeks ago. | ||
| I'm going to say it again. | ||
| Jen Psaki at the podium got really jiggy when she was asked, how often does Biden speak with Obama? | ||
| And now I'm getting just little bits and pieces from around town saying Obama's in there like all the time. | ||
| He's in there like all the time. | ||
| Well, it's definitely got his handprints on it, but I don't think it's the control factor we thought. | ||
| I agree with you on that, but I think a lot of it is, hey, what did you learn from not being as radical as you wanted to be, and how do we fix that? | ||
| Do you? | ||
| This is radical. | ||
| We are the first ones identified in the confirmation hearings where we're having pillow fights. | ||
| Not my pillow fights, but pillow fights in the confirmation hearings. | ||
| None of these questions, none of the hard questions got asked. | ||
| And remember, the cabinet secretary is kind of the boring, plain face. | ||
| You get down to the next level, that's where the radicals are. | ||
| And those are the ones that run these departments. | ||
| The way to counter this? | ||
| is to fight. And the way you fight, the first thing you do, you gotta take over the Republican Party, right? You can't form a third party, take billions of dollars and never get anywhere. | ||
| Take over the apparatus that's there, and we're doing it every day. | ||
| You know where you can't fight with a my pillow? | ||
| Where? You hit somebody with a my pillow, they're asleep immediately. | ||
| I got that. | ||
| In a good sleep. | ||
| I'm going to do that tonight. | ||
| I'm going to hit myself in my pillow. | ||
| Okay, with my slippers on. | ||
| Maybe I'll do moccasins tonight. | ||
| Change it up. | ||
| Maggie, Fog City Midge. | ||
| Tell us, I tell you what, let's get Fog City in here and then we're going to play on the next break. | ||
| Tell us what you did last night. | ||
| How empowering was it, Maggie? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, Steve, I don't know how empowering it was, but I can tell you how important it was. | |
| So, last night I was sworn in as a Republican Precinct Committee member in Palm Beach County. | ||
| And it was very interesting because, I mean, basically myself and about 30 other new members had to get there early. | ||
| We did a 45-minute orientation where they talked us through Just sort of the basics of what it means to be a precinct committee person. | ||
| And then we attended the larger GOP meeting. | ||
| That meeting was filled with about 200 people, I would say, maybe a little bit less. | ||
| And it was a typical Republican local meeting. | ||
| They went through the minutes of last time. | ||
| They went through some of the local, you know, business that they need to catch up on. | ||
| And then at the end of the meeting, they said, well, we've got a lot of new people here, so they're each going to make a speech and then we're going to vote to swear them in, basically. | ||
| So they had us all line up at the front of the stage and they asked us previously to each prepare a one minute speech, but because there were so many of us, they asked us just to do it 30 seconds. | ||
| So we went down the line and so many people were there because of the precinct project, were there because of Dan Schultz, they were there because they're upset with the Republican Party and they see that changes need to be made. | ||
| So I got up there, I made a quick speech. | ||
| But it was interesting because I think there was not this overwhelming enthusiasm, like, oh my gosh, we got all these people here. | ||
| It was sort of like, all right, let's get through it, let's vote on it. | ||
| And then at the end of the meeting, they read through our names and, you know, it was easy. | ||
| Everybody just voted aye, yes, like, swear these new people in. | ||
| And then the group of us got together. | ||
| We took that picture that I texted you. | ||
| And that was just about 20 of the new 32 people who were sworn in last night. | ||
| And those people were all watchers of the War Room. | ||
| Basically, most of the people who were sworn in, who signed up to become precinct committee people, they were all... It was because of Dan Schultz. | ||
| It was because of this show. | ||
| It was because of the audience. | ||
| Many of them said it was because of me telling my story of how I got involved and how easy it was. | ||
| So it's just, it was very powerful and I recommend it to everyone out there to make sure that they go out and that they do this and that it is so important. | ||
| And one thing I wanted to let everybody know is I'll tell you that your local leadership, they might not be too pleased that you're there. | ||
| They might, you might get some pushback, but that's exactly why you need to be there. | ||
| You're not, you shouldn't expect a warm welcome, but you need to be there. | ||
| Maggie, hang on. | ||
| We're gonna take a short commercial break, sell some ads, pay for some stuff. | ||
| We'll be right back with Fog City Midge. | ||
| First day as a comedian. | ||

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. | ||
| My name is Maggie Vandenberg. | ||
| I am a conservative filmmaker and a media personality. | ||
| Some of you guys might recognize me from War Room with Steve Bannon. | ||
| I know we've got some War Room fans in here. | ||
| Thank you guys! | ||
| I'm so excited to be here. | ||
| Many of you also might know me by my social media, which is Fog City Midge, which is my nickname because I come here from Fog City A.K.A. | ||
| San Francisco, California. | ||
| I fled the communist state of California to move here to Florida, the freest state in the nation, run by the best governor in the country. | ||
| It's incredible. | ||
| And I just have to get involved. | ||
| I have to make sure that we keep this state red, and I am so excited to be serving our community along with all of you. | ||
| Let's keep Florida great. | ||
| God bless America, and God bless Florida. | ||
| That's our own Fox City Midge bringing the heat down in Palm Beach. | ||
| Can we get the picture up? | ||
| Maggie, that was obviously, you know, you're a great stump speaker. | ||
| I get a sense, because you're one of the nicest, sweetest people we know, I get a sense there might have been a little tension. | ||
| You show up with 20, 32 people, 20 of them are war room, you know, devotees, right? | ||
| You show up to a place that's a little sleepy, not really cutting edge, maybe not as MAGA as it maybe should be, right? | ||
| To know how we got to take this country forward you show up with 20 and I want to put the picture we got to look at that picture right there. | ||
| Those are troublemakers right there. | ||
| You can see this is not I mean, these are people have their own opinions. | ||
| I want to get the names later. | ||
| So we'll read the names out. | ||
| But so War Room shows up. | ||
| The Dan Schultz Precinct Project. | ||
| And what are they? | ||
| They're America First MAGA deplorables that understand that they've got to fight to save their country. | ||
| And they're showing up and they're ready to go to work. | ||
| Tell me about it. | ||
| I get a sense you're sugarcoating this a tad in that you're saying, hey, people may not be that excited when you show up. | ||
| How not excited are they when you show up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, it's okay. | |
| So let me just give a little bit of context. | ||
| They basically were like, we've got a lot of people to go through. | ||
| Keep your speeches short. | ||
| We're going to like swear all these people in. | ||
| That was kind of the attitude. | ||
| There was no warm welcome when we arrived. | ||
| There was no like, oh my gosh, so excited. | ||
| These people are here to help us. | ||
| Let's put them to work. | ||
| Like if I had more bodies show up that were enthusiastic, I'd be like, here's what you can do to help. | ||
| You can, you know, be doing these things in your precinct. | ||
| But instead, they handed us a pamphlet in the orientation. | ||
| They kind of mumbled through it. | ||
| And it was really unclear. | ||
| Most people were sort of like, what is this even all about? | ||
| It was not great communication. | ||
| It was not great enthusiastic, inviting leadership. | ||
| It felt like, OK, these new people are here. | ||
| What are we going to do with them? | ||
| But I just have to clarify one thing. | ||
| They actually had 40 people sign up. | ||
| They had 40 new precinct committee people sign up, and they normally have the meeting on the second Wednesday of each month. | ||
| This month they had to move it, so some of those people couldn't make it. | ||
| They were not able to attend the meeting last night, so now they're going to be sworn in at the next meeting. | ||
| So they had 40 new people sign up, and I didn't realize, like, I didn't know how many people normally come. | ||
| I figured maybe like 10, maybe 15 new people each month. | ||
| A guy ran over to me and he said, oh my gosh, I know who you are. | ||
| I've been on this, you know, I signed up a few years ago to be a precinct committee man. | ||
| And he said, I know, I've been watching what you're doing. | ||
| He's like, what you've done is amazing. | ||
| What the show has done is amazing. | ||
| It is so powerful. | ||
| He said, when I signed up, there were six members that night that signed up along with And he said the month after that, there were two. | ||
| He said, there's never been this many people ever who have come. | ||
| He's like, what just happened? | ||
| Like these 32 people signing up enthusiastically to join and become precinct committee people. | ||
| This has never happened. | ||
| He was so excited, but this was just another member. | ||
| Whereas the leadership who was there, they were not too thrilled with our presence, but the people that were there, the speeches they made were very much what you just said, Steve. | ||
| They're there to stand up for our country. | ||
| They're there to get involved. | ||
| We can't afford to sit on the sidelines anymore, and we need leadership that is MAGA, is America First, that believes in President Trump's policies, and is going to carry that forward, and to insist that the leadership take action, and that they don't allow more elections to be stolen in the future. | ||
| So remember, everybody in this audience, you've got to get yourself, friends, associates that want to get to work and do this. | ||
| President Trump can't do it all himself, right? | ||
| He's the leader, but he can't do it all himself. | ||
| I'm going to give you signal, not noise. | ||
| What happened last night in Palm Beach, that's signal. | ||
| These stories you read about what's going on in Mar-a-Lago and who's in and who's out and who's there and who's flitting around and who's, you know, got another fundraiser and all this stuff and all these organizations be stood up, that's all fine. | ||
| That's all good. | ||
| That, what happened in Palm Beach and what's happened in the engine room here and you people going out, whether it's in Arizona or North Carolina or, you know, in Montana and Wyoming, that, this is signal. | ||
| The key thing now is to get involved in Trump like Maggie and 20 of the 32 last night were from the war room. | ||
| You are the best people on earth. | ||
| This is not going to change. | ||
| Don't think that anything's going to change. | ||
| Don't think we're going to change this country. | ||
| Don't think we're going to stop this radicalization. | ||
| Don't think we're going to stand up to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| It's not going to be better. | ||
| It's just not. | ||
| Unless you personally are engaged. | ||
| That's the whole reason we do this show. | ||
| And Rahim and I are totally interchangeable. | ||
| There could be many other people that do this. | ||
| The key is you. | ||
| Your empowerment. | ||
| Your agency. | ||
| This whole concept of agency. | ||
| And it starts in human history shows and particularly What divine providence has given us in the Judeo-Christian West, and particularly in the United States of America, it's always come from the grassroots. | ||
| It's always come from the working class people. | ||
| So Maggie, obviously down there you're going to work with these people. | ||
| You don't want to get in any kind of fights at the beginning, but what's the program going forward? | ||
| You have other meetings. | ||
| You're going to start now getting people there that understand President Trump's program and talking about it. | ||
| Where do you guys go from here? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm not really sure, Steve. | |
| The meeting was just very dry, I'll say that. | ||
| It was actually funny because the chairman actually said, this isn't a Trump rally. | ||
| This isn't meant to be fun. | ||
| This is the nuts and bolts of the Republican Party. | ||
| You're here to serve. | ||
| I mean, they made it. | ||
| Boring. | ||
| I'm just gonna say it. | ||
| So I think it doesn't have to be that way. | ||
| I think that we can be an excited, enthusiastic, engaged community of people with an actual strategy to go out and do things. | ||
| And I want to tell the audience, it is not too late to get involved. | ||
| You can sign up at any time. | ||
| And people need to be signing up. | ||
| There are still a ton of seats here in Palm Beach County, even though we just had 40 new people sign up. | ||
| You can sign up wherever you are across the country, whether you're here, wherever you are in your county, I just wanna say get involved. | ||
| And because it's a meeting that you have to go to every month or every other month, Get a friend to go with you. | ||
| Make it fun. | ||
| Go get your friends to sign up. | ||
| This is how we are going to take over and change the party. | ||
| Make it something that you want to do. | ||
| I already made friends with a number of people there, so I'm excited to see them two months from now when they have the next meeting. | ||
| So, you know, get involved. | ||
| It's really easy and you can learn more. | ||
| Jan Schultz's blog, if you go online and you search for The Precinct Project, you can learn more about it there. | ||
| Basically, you have to fill out a loyalty oath to the Republican Party, fill out a couple of forms, get them signed off, and you're in. | ||
| So do it! | ||
| Real quickly, before we let you go, and by the way, I want to thank the Real America Voice team down in Palm Beach. | ||
| This is the great Palm Beach studio Dr. Gina does her show out of. | ||
| You've basically uprooted your life, and I know you were very, you know, upset after January 6th, you were very upset after January 7th, after January 20th, but you've uprooted your life and actually moved to Florida, become even more engaged, to kind of double or triple down | ||
| How do people get access to you and how do they continue to follow the journey of Fog City Midge in her fight to make sure that MAGA gets stood up across the entire country? | ||

Well, I would say to everyone, please follow me on Twitter and Instagram at FogCityMidge. | |
| They are messing with my followers. | ||
| They are removing my followers. | ||
| Follow me on YouTube and Rumble. | ||
| You guys, it is so hard to build a following on Rumble. | ||
| Please go follow me there. | ||
| And if they follow me on Telegram, and again it's all at FogCityMidge, on Telegram is where I post things that maybe would get me thrown off of Instagram or Twitter, so go check that out. | ||
| And yeah, just make sure that you look up the Precinct Project, and I'm going to be posting more information on how people can do that and get involved in their own counties locally. | ||
| Maggie, thanks. | ||
| Thanks for everything you're doing for the country. | ||
| Thanks for your commitment to this cause. | ||
| And thanks for doing this and being the precinct committeeman and showing people how it's done. | ||
| Maggie Vandenberg, thank you very much. | ||
|

|
Thank you, Steve. | |
| Okay, for the audience, this is where change comes from. | ||
| Change comes from your engagement. | ||
| You've got incredible talent, you've got incredible knowledge, you've got incredible energy. | ||
| I don't care how old or how young, right? | ||
| Now go to PrecinctStrategy.com. | ||
| It is, this is all about your empowerment and here's the beauty, it's all free. | ||
| You don't have to write a check, you don't have to put any financial resources out there, it's just your mind, heart, spirit and your body. | ||
| Remember 80% of life is showing up. | ||
| A lot of people think that Brexit happened because of the force of character that was Nigel Farage or whatever and of course it has a massive impact to have a leader like that but The run-up to 2016, when Americans first really started hearing about Brexit a lot in the media, was sort of 2015-16, right? | ||
| We were covering it before that over at the Breitbart London Bureau, whatever. | ||
| But actually, the first time I really got a sense of, oh, you know, something's really changing here, was 2012, 2013 and 2014. | ||
| When Nigel basically toured the country and he looked people in the eyes at town hall meetings and he said, it's not me, it's you. | ||
| And you need to sign up to be town councillors, county councillors, you know, these are the sort of, you know, relatively equivalent positions. | ||
| Take over your local, whether it's your Conservative Party local branch Or set up a new UK Independence Party local branch and get out there and start doing things, start pushing this in a certain direction. | ||
| And it was that force of ordinary people across the United Kingdom that forced the issue with the political establishment. | ||
| The losses that David Cameron ragged up in 13 and 14 and 15 In elections were because of the local grassroots activists who had signed up, had never been involved in politics before, and who had signed up a couple of years before that and said, hey, you know, we're just, we're not doing this your way anymore. | ||
| I knew this from the Expanding Barber. | ||
| I knew we had to go to London, right? | ||
| We need a London office. | ||
| And I kept hearing about this young firebrand named Raheem Kassam that was really at the time very much anti-terrorism. | ||
| Counterterrorism very smart guy, but I had been following Farage in the European Parliament I could see something going on and I went over there and I followed those guys around when you went in I think was a 14 and it was like the tea party they were going these were not huge groups, but you could see the connection and you could see The working class in the middle class in the United Kingdom waking up It was like the scales were coming off their eyes the first time I was over with Ron DeSantis I think was in 2010. | ||
| I think it was the spring or summer of 2010 and Ron DeSantis, I think he's still on Navy Reservist, comes in and speaks. | ||
| There couldn't have been more than 25 people in the room. | ||
| Ron DeSantis, just another schmendrick, right, comes in and speaks. | ||
| I said, that guy's got something. | ||
| He had a couple Ivy League degrees, a very tough hombre. | ||
| The first time I knew that Trump had it was not the CPACs and things, it was when he spoke to a group of activists up in, I think it was Hanover, New Hampshire. | ||
| There couldn't have been more than 150 or 200 people in the room, right? | ||
| But you could see the connection. | ||
| It is the grassroots. | ||
| This is the power in this nation. | ||
| Power derives from you. | ||
| And the key thing we've got now, this is why I'm again leaning on you about the structure of it. | ||
| It's all about your agency, right? | ||
| It's all about your agency. | ||
| So weigh and measure yourself. | ||
| Look at yourself in the mirror and say, hey, I can do this. | ||
| Not just I can do this. | ||
| I must do this from Brexit. | ||
| Brexit was done at the exact same thing. | ||
| The Tea Party revolt was the exact same thing. | ||
| The Trump victory in 16. | ||
| The same thing. | ||
| The great awakening of this in 20 was you could see across the nation of people finally understanding Where we stand in the world and what has to be done, okay? | ||
| But it's all dependent upon you, all incumbent upon your engagement in this. | ||
| I gotta bounce. | ||

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. | ||
| The vaccine passports really are the last step and you know as someone said today the hill worth dying on or the last fight that we have to fight because once the Passport vaccines are accepted. | ||
| There is no more resistance. | ||
| When you agree to the vaccine passports, when you go to a pub or a play or a restaurant and you swipe that, um, that, that code, right, which you're getting used to because since COVID, uh, you know, when you go to a restaurant, you're, you're asked to swipe that QR code. | ||
| Um, That doesn't just, where does that go? | ||
| I will tell you where it goes. | ||
| It goes to a central database and all the people who are with you, who are also swiping the code, their information is also going to a central database, which means that the vaccine passport, quote unquote, which is really a social credit system, knows everyone who's at that table. | ||
| And if you're talking about, you know, resistance to the system, if you're talking about staging a protest or writing an op-ed or mobilizing support for a representative to pass a bill to roll back this system, the platform will know. | ||
| And there's a functionality that creates Maps of networks of people and as you all swipe in your vaccine passport to that cafe or to that restaurant or even to that living room, right? | ||
| It is geolocating you and it can tabulate the searches you all have done historically and it can read what happened on your social media as a group. | ||
| And you as a group can be blackballed. | ||
| Your social credit score can dial down or you're all positive, right? | ||
| None of you ever gets to shop for food. | ||
| None of you ever gets your children into school. | ||
| People who have been drafting proposals for contracts for the vaccine passport system like Microsoft, they've said explicitly that the system can keep people who are positive from leaving the house. | ||
| And so what Is the immediate capability of the vaccine passport? | ||
| Well, Microsoft Salesforce rolled out an alignment of the vaccine passport with Apple Pay and with Google Wallet. | ||
| And with a digital currency, you know what's next. | ||
| If you're not a quote-unquote good citizen, if you see a movie you shouldn't see, if you go to a play you shouldn't go, go to which the app will know, right? | ||
| Because you have to scan it everywhere you go. | ||
| There's no opting out for it. | ||
| Um, then your, your revenue stream can be shut off or your taxes can be boosted or your PayPal won't function. | ||
| And you don't have any choice except to get it back by being a good citizen and disavowing whatever, you know, renegade views you've been having. | ||
| Well, this is the most dangerous. | ||
| There is no coming back from this. | ||
| I mean, I was asked by a reporter today, what if Americans don't adopt this? | ||
| And I said, you're already talking from a world that's gone if this succeeds in being rolled out. | ||
| Because there won't be any choice. | ||
| There's no such thing as refusing to adopt it. | ||
| There won't be capitalism. | ||
| There won't be free assembly. | ||
| There won't be privacy. | ||
| There won't be choice in anything that you want to do in your life. | ||
| And there will be no escape. | ||

| No Trumper. | ||

| Not MAGA. | ||
| Non-MAGA. | ||
| No coming back from that. | ||
| The way you stopped that is what you saw with Fog City Midge and in Palm Beach. | ||
| It's incumbent upon you. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| We're going to win this or we're not. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We're going to win this or we're not. | ||
| This is very simple. | ||
| The way we win it, you put your shoulder to the wheel. | ||
| This audience puts its shoulder to the wheel. | ||
| We're going to win this. | ||
| If you just say, hey, you know what? | ||
| I think I'm going to go work on my handicap. | ||
| I think I'm going to go play some more golf. | ||
| I think I'm going to go to the bridge club. | ||
| I think I'm going to go just sit and watch television and just be fed this stuff nonstop. | ||
| I'm just going to watch it and it's too tough. | ||
| It's too nasty. | ||
| It's too mean-spirited. | ||
| I can't do this. | ||
| That's really the difference and you know for what 14 generations we've had the grit and determination to not sit there and take it and this is what it's going to come down to. | ||
| The social credit score of the Chinese Communist Party now through the tech oligarchs becoming part of the United States of America. | ||
| Tomorrow we're going to have we get so much going on the show and so much so many people want to get on. | ||
| But we are going to continue to focus on the financing of all this, because this is the first wave that's going to come and start crushing your economic life. | ||
| Besides the tips they're giving you, the checks, the $1,000 checks, the $1,400 checks. | ||

| It's not getting in the mainstream media yet, but you've heard it first now for months here. | ||
| The bond market revolt on the Biden plan, 10 year bond is in is an absolute revolt about what they see that's going to go forward. | ||
| And they understand that there's a continual trashing of the U.S. | ||
| dollar, a continual trashing of the U.S. | ||
| dollar by this regime, by this administration. | ||
| And they're putting all the chips in the middle of the table on the on this two trillion dollar quote unquote infrastructure bill. | ||
| Mike Lindell, the great one, is going to be here tomorrow at 11 o'clock. | ||
| He's going to walk through what he's doing on the legal front, particularly he's going on offense, what he's doing on the social media front, what he's doing on the investigation front. | ||
