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

War Room.
Pandemic.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Last couple of cycles is that inflation never really moved up as unemployment went down.
We had three and a half percent unemployment, which is a 50 year low for much of the last two years before the pandemic.
And inflation didn't really react much.
That means that we can afford to wait to see actual inflation appear.
Before we raise interest rates.
Now, we don't want inflation to go up materially above 2% and go back to, you know, the bad old inflation days that we had when you and I were in college back a long time ago.
But at the same time, we do have the ability to wait to see real inflation, and that's what we plan on doing.
scott pelley ▲ ● ▼
And when it hits 2%, how patient are you going to be?
unidentified
Well, what we said was we want to see inflation move up to 2%, and we mean that on a sustainable basis.
We don't mean just tap the base once.
jerome powell ▲ ● ▼
But then we'd also like to see it on track to move moderately above 2% for some time.
unidentified
And the reason for that is we want inflation to average 2% over time.
And when we get that, that's when we'll raise interest rates.
scott pelley ▲ ● ▼
We forget what Powell calls the bad old inflation days.
In 1980, the Fed's benchmark interest rate was 20%.
People took out mortgages near that rate.
Whatever happened to inflation?
It seems about 1981 it took a nosedive and now we have an entire generation of Americans who've never seen rapidly increasing interest rates or prices.
unidentified
That's right.
That's one thing that's so interesting about the economy is that it's ever-changing.
The globalization of the economy and technology have enabled manufacturing to take place all around the world.
It's very hard for people in wealthy countries to raise prices or to raise wages.
It's hard for workers to raise wages when wages can move overseas.
It's just a different economy.
scott pelley ▲ ● ▼
So, all the way through the end of this year, you wouldn't see rates increasing?
unidentified
I think it's highly unlikely we'd raise rates anything like this year, no.
scott pelley ▲ ● ▼
Other members of the Fed board don't see a rate increase even in 2022.
The board meets in a grand conference room... Okay, Hugh and Denver, thank you very much.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
That is... He said the quiet part out loud.
Quite stunning.
This is what you hear from the inside on Wall Street all the time.
And I'm going to have Denver replay that in a second.
You're in the war room.
It's Monday, 12 April, the year of our Lord 2021.
Pretty shocking.
Pretty stunning.
Remember the negative interest rates are close to zero.
Interest rates eviscerates working class people.
All right.
Check your savings account.
Check your money market fund.
But what he said in there, he admitted, absolutely admitted, and this is the mindset of the globalist.
And this is what Donald Trump, all the noise around what happened over the weekend in Mar-a-Lago and with the RNC donors going over to Mar-a-Lago for the speech, all the noise about Mitch McConnell and this and his wife and ba-bing, ba-bang, ba-bung, what's important
And this is very important for the Trump movement, is that all the leaks that came out, Rahim, we're going to bring Boris in here in a second, but, who is down in Mar-a-Lago, all the leaks coming from the Four Seasons were at the donor meeting of the RNC, where the fat cats were, where they want Trump voters, so they want the audience of the war room, right?
They want the audience of the war room, and they want you to show up, okay?
They don't want too much Trump, but more importantly, they do not want Trumpism.
They do not want the policies of what, they do not want populist, nationalist policies.
So three things happened.
The whole fiasco down in Florida, which I think was great because now we're bringing it to the surface, right?
Also, the CEOs, a hundred top CEOs, Many of them at Augusta National because they're members at Augusta National.
And hey, as a golfer, you know, I love the Masters.
It is a magnificent tradition, but we got to start.
Focusing on calling folks out, you know led by a Rothschild, I think a hundred the Washington Post and they're and they love it They're they're they're laughing.
They're laughing at you.
They have a hundred CEOs saying we are going to unite To stop these voter integrity bills, right?
We're gonna stop these voter integrity bills and Because we don't want these populists, we don't want these nationalists, we don't want Trump-ism.
Not about Trump, it's deeper than Trump.
We don't want Trump-ism and we're going to shut it down.
And by the way, what they're also telling you is you're not going to get a job, you're not going to get promoted, your kids are not going to get promoted, your kids are not going to get jobs, you have no future.
This is the Frankenstein monster.
That has been created by, I just don't want to say the Republican Party, but also our brothers and sisters that are libertarians.
Let these Frankenstein monsters totally deregulate them, totally, you know, give them all the tax cuts in the world, put all the money in their pocket and they're going to be great.
No, that's not true.
They have turned on you and they are a bigger problem Than the Biden administration.
Who is forcing?
Who's going to be the execution people on the vaccine passports?
Buttigieg and these guys said, no, we're just here to help.
We're just here to assist.
It's going to be the corporations.
Josh Hawley's out today with his throwdown on the tech oligarchs, right?
It's all of a piece, ladies and gentlemen.
This is signal.
But you've got to pull it all together.
No conspiracy, but there are also no coincidences.
This is the party of Davos, U.S.
branch, U.S.
division.
And their number one thing they have to crush is the Trump movement.
Trumpism.
Right?
And what they said, what Jerome Powell said, is the most important thing a chairman of the Federal Reserve has said out loud.
Oh, you know, the economy since 1981 has gone through this big change.
Right?
This globalization.
It's very hard or it's impossible for wealthy nations To get to full employment and to raise prices and to raise wages for folks.
This is why the central beating heart of the problem in the United States is wages have not increased since what 1972 or 1975?
1972 or 1975, except in the year 2019 as promulgated by the great Steve Cortez, who make sure we understand Trump's policies.
In 2019, the best year for workers, blue-collar workers, high school grads, not college grads, lowest unemployment in history, and wage increases at 11%.
Why, Jerome Powell?
Because we're anti-globalization.
This is where Powell sits there.
Oh, the globalization, you know, it's very, it's very hard to raise wages, sir.
No.
This is not, see, Powell is a globalist, and what they think is this the second law of thermodynamics.
They think it's an immutable law of physics, of the physical universe.
No, sir.
You and your staff must start to listen to the war room.
It's about human agency and human action.
And Donald J. Trump, for all his imperfections, and all the thing of the Wall Street faction he had around him, still understood that the trade situation was just not about confronting China.
Part of it was that, but it's also to take care of American workers.
And this is why the Club for Growth and all these people around him, you go to the Club for Growth side and we've got to get back to the free trade.
The free trade is a sucker's move in a world of mercantilist powers, right?
And who bears the burden?
Guess what?
People in the Rio Grande Valley, people out in places like Michigan, in Wisconsin, in Pennsylvania, in Missouri, working-class Americans.
This is the Trump Revolution and this weekend it all came together.
And even Josh Hawley, as good as he's doing putting this thing out, we'll get the breaking news on Axios, where he's sitting there putting out this new plan.
It doesn't go far enough.
The tech oligarchs are public utilities.
I don't want to hear 230.
He's a trust buster.
He wants to be Teddy Roosevelt.
That's fine.
But he's talking about, hey, the minimum $100 billion company, a $100 billion market cap company.
Can't do M&A.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's way, that's way too big.
They're going to be turned into public utilities.
They're like the water department.
They're like the electrical.
They're like the, they're like Vepco in Virginia.
Virginia Electric Power Company.
That's what's going to be Twitter.
That's going to be Facebook.
And the guys that run it are going to be managerial classes.
Fine.
The phone company, these things ran great in the 50s.
Right?
Oh, there wasn't any innovation.
Well, the innovation is all to crush you.
All to crush you.
The hundred CEOs took the mask off this weekend.
They don't want the voter integrity.
Because they understand if we had a real count on November 3rd, you would be in power.
And they would be on their back foot.
They're going to do everything to stop that.
And they're completely, and they're completely, they do not believe in your social agenda.
And you're just cogs in the wheel.
And the cogs don't get a voice.
Can we play, Denver, can we play, I'm gonna get bored, Boris is down in Mar-a-Lago, I'm gonna get bored, but I gotta play, can we play the Pal, just the piece again?
This is the quiet part out loud, no Federal Reserve Chairman has ever said this, because now he's out in the open, they're total globalists, and they're anti-worker.
Can we play it, Denver?
Do we have it?
OK.
Cameron, a swing.
That's a foul tip.
We got it.
We're still... We can see it, but we can't hear it.
OK, are we ready?
Are we close to being ready?
We're not ready.
OK, let's bring it.
Hang it.
I want you to just hold it.
Don't play it.
You had your shot.
You missed your mark.
Cameron did a great job.
Denver's doing a great job.
I know I'm asking for a lot here.
Everybody take a deep breath.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
There's clips playing in the show.
unidentified
You're asking a lot.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
All right, let me just come in on this real quick.
There used to be a word that was used quite commonly when you talked about the hard centralised power of government moving in tandem with the hard centralised corporate power.
That word was fascism, right?
That's what fascism originally meant.
And that's somewhat what we're seeing now.
I mean I want to bring people's attention to something that the Cato Institute tweeted just yesterday Headline of one of their articles why you shouldn't knock so-called sweat shops if you care about women's empowerment and a picture of you know A young Indian girl that looks like a Bangladeshi girl working in a sweatshop This is what they think you know human life is good for yeah It's being a unit of measurement is you know is creating for them And you talked about innovation.
Let's talk about innovation for a second because, you know, I was traveling over the last couple of weeks and it didn't escape my attention just how little innovation we've actually had that trickles down to ordinary people in things like aviation for the last several decades.
In fact, if anything, we've gone backwards.
The higher classes, the upper classes, the elite classes Have innovation on all sorts of things that they use for themselves, but look at innovation as it pertains to, you know, TikTok and all of this.
It's actually meant to oppress.
It strips you of your dignity, and it is designed to be that way.
It's not an unfortunate circumstance that these things happen.
It is absolutely designed to have you, you know, to lower your IQ, to have you addicted to these devices, and to give you, you know, the 12 inches of legroom Um, on the back of a United or an American flight or whatever these companies are that are now signing these things.
There's no innovation for ordinary people, except for when it can create value for the elite classes.
Out of human life.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
What he said there, what he said there, and let me know when we've got the thing that can play again.
We'll have to do it in the next segment.
But what he said there is about productivity and technology.
Remember, you're a cog in the wheel.
You're a faceless cog in the wheel.
They don't want you to have a say-so.
They don't want you to have a vote.
That's where they're going to come in hard with the voter integrity.
Remember, the National Polls and all the great work done on the Molly Ball cover story on Time Magazine.
It was the corporatists and the corporations that came in immediately after the vote on November 3rd and worked with the AFL-CIO, also big media.
They had joint conference calls of how they're going to crush the Trump.
And they started referring to it as the big lie right away.
And here's the reason.
What Jerome Powell laid out was the business model.
That's what she went to Davos to talk about.
It is to make sure, and what he didn't say is that the deflationary issues Are because of the excess capacity that China exports all the time in the slave labor of the Lao-Beijing.
Okay?
This is how it's inextricably linked.
This is signal.
This will have more of an impact in your life, because now you're seeing what the cabal is.
And Rahim Kassam is absolutely correct.
Fascism in the 30s was state capitalism in Italy and in Germany, working with autocratic governments.
Autocratic governments.
The driving force here, ladies and gentlemen, is the corporatist.
OK?
Biden is not the puppet master.
The puppet.
We're going to return in a minute with Boris Epstein live from Mar-a-Lago.

It's very hard for people in wealthy countries to raise prices or to raise wages.
It's hard for workers to raise wages when wages can move overseas.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Think about it.
That's their number one problem, ladies and gentlemen, wages.
The person, the group that solves this problem will run this country for a hundred years.
That's where there's a realignment.
That's what you see in the Rio Grande Valley.
We don't need the donors and we particularly don't need their ideas because their ideas are Jerome Powell's ideas.
What he just laid out is the road to perdition.
That is the managed decline of the United States of America.
That right there is the summary of a managed decline.
Of course, Scott Pelley and the bozos at CBS have no earthy idea.
This is what I refer to, ladies and gentlemen, as the buried lead.
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Scott Pelley's sitting there trying to look all official.
Well, what about, you know, he has no earthy idea what he's doing.
He's an actor reading a script.
Talk about the managed decline.
CBS is a disaster in 60 Minutes is a joke.
Leslie Stahl in Wuhan and Scott Pelley with the Federal Reserve.
You've got to get somebody that understands even a modicum of what's going on because, baby, that's a jewel.
And we're going to bang this.
We're going to hammer this.
This is the central part.
This is why Donald Trump was elected in 2016.
The managed decline of our country by elites of the Uniparty.
The donors down there at the Four Seasons leaking all Saturday and all Friday and Saturday.
You know, have a problem with Trump.
Too much Trump.
He's divisive.
But more importantly, Trumpism.
What they want, they're playing you for suckers again.
Okay?
They're playing you for suckers again.
They want your votes, they want your money, they want you to go door-to-door, they want you to be good little boys and girls, but all the policies are going to be what Jerome Powell is saying.
Oh, it's very, it's impossible, really, in wealthy countries to waver.
No, no, no, sir, it's not.
It's not.
No, it's not.
That would be incorrect.
That would be incorrect.
If we play along in the globalization program, right, that's going to make the top 1% wealthier and wealthier and wealthier and give them more control, right?
And here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen, understand that the wealthy and the donor class and the corporate class, the managerial class, they're not just playing for the other side.
unidentified
They are the other side.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Biden, these guys, Buttigieg, they've all tossed it up.
Buttigieg says, yeah, the vaccine passport, that's vaccines.
That's all in God's plan.
You know, he's doing, Pete's doing, little Petey's doing the Sermon on the Mount there for me.
It's all God's plan.
This is all God's plan.
But hey, we're just here to assist.
We're here to help them.
It's the corporations.
It's the companies.
We've created a Frankenstein monster that's out of control.
Okay?
And hey, Abraham Lincoln wouldn't allow that.
Teddy Roosevelt wouldn't allow that.
Right now you need a combination of populism and a trust buster and Josh Hawley making your first attempt.
First attempt not bad as Anaxios, but not good enough.
Not enough.
Not now.
He just laid it out that the managed decline of our country is because they don't care if the manufacturing base goes overseas.
They don't care.
Their biggest concern, their biggest concern, and he said it right there, his biggest concern is rising wages.
You notice his biggest concern is not CEO comp out of control, right?
Making hundreds of millions and billions of dollars while Americans, middle class and working class Americans haven't had any real wage increase except for Trump's 2019 since the mid 70s, right?
At the kickoff of really globalization.
This is the beating heart of the problem.
This is the beating heart of the problem.
Trumpism.
Right?
Trump, pure Trumpism, the ether of it.
A shot in a chaser.
Let's bring in Boris Epstein now, down at the Mar-a-Lago.
Raheem, you jump in here too.
I'll go on this for five hours a day.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
Just very quickly on the point of Manager Klein, I've written about this for some years now, and I want to remind the audience of a 1979 letter that Britain's ambassador to France, Sir Nicholas Henderson, sent back to London, warning of the implications of it.
It says, you only have to move about Western Europe nowadays to realise how poor and unproud the British have become in relation to their neighbours.
It shows in the look of our towns, in our airports, in our hospitals, in local amenities.
It is painfully apparent in much of our railway system, which until a generation ago was superior to the continental one.
What does that sound like today?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
The United States of America.
The United States of America.
And ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with you.
Could you have worked any harder?
Could you have sacrificed any more?
Could you have sent your kids, your sons and daughters, to fight in any more foreign wars to protect the elites of Saudi Arabia and UAE and the Gulf Emirates?
Right?
Could you have done any more?
And right now, what's the blazing headline?
Tony Blinken saying, hey, we're thinking about this, you know, we got to think about this boycott of the Olympics, but you know what we're doing?
We're really, we're going to send destroyers into the Black Sea, and we're going to maybe go to a general European war on the Ukraine.
Are you kidding me?
A killing field from time immemorial.
Not our deal.
It's a sideshow to a sideshow.
But no, Blinken and the globalists have got to be in there.
Because whatever we've got to do, we don't want to have our hands full with the Chinese Communist Party and with Pakistan and the mullahs in Iran and Turkey all working together on the Eurasian landmass.
We've got to force Russia into the camp.
Let's do that while we're at it.
Why not?
Right?
Let's just do that.
Let's just do that.
Boris Epstein, and this is why the buried lead in Mar-a-Lago and at the Four Seasons is the kowtowing to the donor class and they want, they don't want Trump.
And more importantly, they don't want Trumpism.
They don't want Trump represents.
Boris Epstein.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Steve, great to be with you.
Good morning.
I'm in another undisclosed location to the audience.
Let's not take any guesses where I am.
Steve, you know, let's keep it tight.
There's no need to be telling.
Telling the whole wide world where I may or may not be.
But here's what I will tell you.
Here's what I will tell you.
Is that the donors going on the record, on background, leaking from the weekend.
Oh, we are so hurt by President Trump.
This is all just upsetting us so much.
We're just so triggered by it all.
You know what?
You know what?
They used President Trump for years and years and years to raise money off of him.
They're still doing so.
But their indignation is making them go and leak to the New York Times and go and share their frustrations.
Asa Hutchinson, who's apparently not against castration of children, is upset that President Trump is dividing the party.
Dividing the party means calling you out, Asa Hutchinson.
That's what it means.
And you deserve to be called out.
So, here's the bottom line.
This isn't about President Trump.
This isn't about donors being mad about one man.
This is about donors wanting to go back to the car-rove-driven system, to the establishment way that things have been done in the Republican Party for way too long.
But guess what?
The 2016 revolution, and the New York Times article actually talks about that, the article from yesterday, where You had donors complaining and being just so righteously indignant about President Trump.
It talks about the fact that the 2016 revolution, which all of us here, you Steve, me, Rahim, the MAGA Brain Trust, that's your viewership in the audience, had a huge part in.
The 2016 MAGA revolution changed all that.
There's no more going back.
Karl Rove is on Hugh Hewitt today popping off about how Eric Greitens will give that seat to Democrats.
Wrong.
Just like backing Adam Kinzinger is wrong.
Just like backing Liz Cheney is wrong.
This is not the Republican Party of 2005.
This is the MAGA movement that is now dominating the Republican Party.
and those who aren't on board, hey, that's your choice.
And the donors could put their money where they choose.
But if they want to be on the winning team, if they don't want to be part of the uniparty, if they don't want to be just another person propping up Jerome Powell and Scott Pelley over there.
By the way, how similar do those two look?
They're like twins talking to each other.
Oh yeah, no more wages.
Wages are staying the same.
Oh yeah, we're sending all that money overseas.
Forget about it.
That's all going to Xi Jinping.
It's like two clones talking into a mirror.
I think we lost Boris there for a second.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I want to get, by the way, coming back in the next block, I want to play the April's, the NPR's play.
unidentified
Did you lose me or did you cut me off?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
The biggest concern is the Republican Party is afraid of the browning of it.
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
The browning of the Republican Party is the realignment of the Republican Party.
We love that.
The Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, Southern Arizona, New Mexico even, right?
This is all gonna come, this is all gonna, this is the great realignment.
It's happening and that's why you got Karl Rove and Hugh Hewitt, that's why you got these guys leaking to the New York Times, that's why you got Jeff Rowe running around with, you know, every possible, you know, candidate he can get to go against the Mo Brookses of the world and the Eric Greitens of the world.
There's a new day coming and here's the new day.
They want Trump out of the way.
What they need, they need you.
They need your votes and they need your small dollars but they need you to shut up and just be good little boys and girls and support the globalist policies that have gutted this country.
Okay?
That's not going to happen.
It's not going to happen.
That day is over.
Brexit, Nigel Farage, Raheem Kassam, they showed us the way of what happened.
It's not, by the way, it's not perfect in the United Kingdom.
You know, Boris Johnson, those guys, they want to be Singapore on the Thames, right?
They don't want to really get to the heart of it.
But hey, it's a process.
But let me give you a newsflash.
We're winning.
OK, we're winning.
And this is never going to be reversed.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
And happy reopening day to the UK.
You can have a pint in a pub again, or at least outside a pub.
I never went inside anyway.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
The truth meter on that short commercial break.
We're trying to get Boris back from an undisclosed location.
I think they pulled his power down there at undisclosed location.
Be back in a moment.

War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
scott pelley ▲ ● ▼
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
harry reid ▲ ● ▼
Well, I think that the Republican Party needs to understand where they are, and I think being where they are is only good for Democrats.
unidentified
What do you think?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Is he right?
unidentified
He's absolutely right.
Donald Trump, when he was president and after his presidency, is rallying the Democrats to go to the polls.
And Democrats are winning because of Donald Trump.
And that's why you're seeing all of these anti-voting rights efforts and restrictive efforts.
But I will go back to something that Alice said.
Alice said, you know, right now the party is the party of Reagan.
Maybe to an extent, but it's also a party that's an anti-Browning party.
This is a party that does not like the Browning of America.
This is a party that is cheating at the polls.
This is a party that is doing anything by any means necessary to continue to try to win.
So there are a lot of underhanded tactics that we see that have been placed in courtrooms, that have been placed in the court of public opinion as it relates to the Republican Party and their efforts to try to get anything pushed through that they want.
So the Democrats are rallying, they're getting more people.
You've got people like Stacey Abrams and more that are bringing more people to the fold to fight against this at the polls.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, that's April Ryan.
She's actually a very smart political analyst.
I think it's NPR or also, not just NPR, she's also on the PBS side.
And she knows what she's doing.
Here's the reality.
We love the Browning of America and we love the Browning of the Republican Party.
The great realignment here, ladies and gentlemen, is working class and middle class people that believe in family, believe in this country, believe in tradition, That are not asking for anything untoward.
They're just asking for a level playing field and that the system is not set up to basically ship their livelihoods overseas to benefit from slave labor and these advances in technology.
That's part of the whole transhumanism deal.
Because it's all of one piece.
And this is why Karl Rove and these folks are running around.
They're the same guys that Stephen Law and Karl Rove, they're the guys that used to take money from the donors to go put 20 second ads or 30 second ads up and take 20% of the carry, right?
Buying the media time to defeat populist candidates.
That's Trumpism.
This is why it has to change.
This is why it has to change.
And it is changing.
Here's the beauty of it.
It is changing.
Trump's policies in 2019, the best year for workers ever.
Lowest unemployment with 11% increase in wages for non-managerial class, non-college graduates.
That shows you it's not an immutable law of physics.
That's what you're sold every day by the Club for Growth and all these bogus organizations that are just running dogs for the corporatists.
Hey, don't listen to Steve Bannon.
Just look in your own life.
Look at what Coke and Delta, look at the 100-person phone call.
If you don't think, if you think this election on November 3rd was totally and completely fair, and if you think that Joe Biden is legitimately in the White House, then hey, you have no problem what the CEOs are talking about.
Because even the modicum of changes, and in Georgia and these places, they're only halfway where we think they ought to go.
They haven't even gotten to the machines.
And we're not, we're not machine guys.
We never said, Mike Lindell and those guys are doing it.
Fine, if you got the evidence, you and Dominion are going to fight it out.
We're saying there's enough voter fraud in the low-hanging fruit that kicks it to the House of Representatives.
And Donald Trump is in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue watching the Masters in the residence and not playing golf down at Trump National in Mar-a-Lago, right?
Or in Palm Beach.
There's enough there.
But he's not.
And the reason he's not, ladies and gentlemen, the Transition Integrity Project that Raheem Kassam, my esteemed colleague right to my right, and Bill McGinley, and we went on the national tour and exposed in July of 2020.
And it's like a playbook.
And then Molly Ball codified it, or Molly Ball did the whole thing about the secret history of the election.
It's all right there.
It's corporations.
They're the ones who put the conference calls on.
The conference call on Saturday of the 100 CEOs, many of them at Augusta National, right?
Put on by Rothschild.
Many of those are the same people in the Molly Ball calls and started the calls right away, right after November 3rd.
We've got to shut this thing down.
Biden administration, greatest thing that ever happened to him, a Petey Buttigieg over the weekend.
The vaccines are all part of God's plan.
And the vaccine passports, hey, that's not a government thing.
They understand that the numbers are so bad about it, they don't want to touch it.
They understand that's their road to perdition.
Oh, we're just here to augment and assist the corporations.
Corporations are going to do it.
They're the ones that are going to have your passport before you get on a plane.
They're the ones that are going to have a passport before you go in a grocery store.
They're the ones that have a passport before you show up to work.
Right?
That's all coming.
And here Naomi Wolf.
Naomi Wolf's no Trump person.
She's no right-winger.
Naomi Wolf is actually one of the voices on the left that's been fighting for civil liberties forever.
And hey, I don't agree with everything she says and she certainly does not agree with everything the War Room says and what we say.
But she's dead spot on on this vaccine passport because of the convergence of technology.
I want to bring Boris back in, but I just want to make sure everybody understands Asa Hutchinson, he's up there, oh it's divisive, yeah, 99 to 1.
What is your math about divisive?
No, it's not divisive.
The great folks in Arkansas overrode his veto immediately.
This is him just kowtowing to the corporate class.
Corporate class wants all this?
They have a problem?
You think they care?
You know what the biggest problem they think they got out there?
I'm not an evangelical Christian.
I'm a Roman Catholic.
I'm not an evangelical Christian, but I have tremendous admiration for evangelical Christians.
Tremendous admiration.
But you've been singled out as the problem.
You're the problem.
You're the crazy hardcore, right?
You're the crazy hardcore.
We've got some hardcore Catholics, we've got some right-wing Jewish folks, we've got obviously new Hispanics, African-Americans.
We're bringing this coalition.
But the one that corporations hate the most, and they hate you.
They hate you.
You walk into a corporate boardroom and start to profess your religion, they'll throw a net over you.
Think you're a nutcase.
Right?
Go into any corporate boardroom.
That hundred corporations on that call, go to a shareholder meeting and start to profess the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ at a microphone in a shareholder meeting.
They'll have the cops on you and throw a net on you and say, this guy's a nutcase.
Those hundred CEOs would have slept through the Sermon on the Mount And here they're going to say, oh, we're so good and we're so good.
All they want to do is turn you into a commodity product.
Right?
And all they're focused on in technology is to make you irrelevant.
They would have slept through the Sermon on the Mount and now they're all virtue signaling.
They're so good.
You're so great.
Oh, yeah, they're doing all this.
They're a bunch of phonies, and it's time to fight back, and I've been telling you who the enemy is.
And everybody said, oh, Bannon, you're, you know, anti-corporate, and you know that we gotta give them tax breaks and deregulate and let them run.
Well, you see where they're running.
unidentified
They're running over you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
And they see an obstacle, and that obstacle is down in Mar-a-Lago, Donald J. Trump.
That's where they're leaking all weekend.
Washington Post, New York Times, over that four seasons, that's all they spent their day doing.
He's divisive.
We got to get past him.
He's divisive.
But more importantly, what's really divisive is Trumpism.
Boris Epstein, from an undisclosed location, would you have the technology fixed or they pull the power plug on you down there?
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Well, I think I'm safe where I am.
We're not going to say where it is.
But I don't think it was on this side, you know, Denver's having a good morning and happy Monday to everybody over there.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
We love Denver.
The folks in Denver are working hard.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
I'll tell you this, by being here now for 40 minutes since 10am, I know I have not missed the Sermon on the Mount.
So that's good news, Steve.
And I agree with everything you're saying.
And here's the interesting thing.
You know, that CNN clip was so hilarious.
Look at the optics.
April Ryan, who by the way I barely recognized, April Ryan And, you know, it looks good.
Great new hairdo, looks good.
She is talking about how Democrats are apparently in favor of, you know, black and brown people, but the person who Jim Acosta has talking, you know, on behalf of Democrats is Harry Reid, okay?
In like an old newspaper boy cap.
I didn't even recognize it.
I was like, who's the great grandpa?
It's just, the whole thing is such a joke.
Look at the trends.
President Trump did historically well with Hispanic Americans, African Americans.
We've talked about, or Road to 22, we talked about how Jewish Americans here in Florida and all across the country are moving toward President Trump.
In Florida, 2016, Jewish vote 30% for President Trump.
for President Trump, 20, 24 years later, 42%.
What is happening is minorities, religious minorities, ethnic minorities, are moving toward the MAGA movement.
They are not, Karl Rove, hello, moving toward establishment republicanism.
They're not!
They're moving toward the MAGA agenda.
Manufacturing, strength, pushing back on China.
Not Jerome Powell on what used to be CBS, pontificating about, oh well, you know, you're just not going to get those wages anymore.
Who does that sound like?
That sounds like Hillary Clinton saying that the energy jobs are gone.
Barack Obama saying, oh you cling to your guns and your religion.
They talk down to us.
And we are not going to take it.
President Trump does not take it.
The MAGA movement does not take it.
And you know what?
If donors want to get together and worry about, you know, how it's okay to chemically castrate children, if that's what they're all about, or if they're all about not having voter integrity, about having rigged elections, they can go to the Democrats.
We're going to be okay.
The MAGA movement will be okay.
Just on small-dollar fundraising alone, and money and fundraising from the entitled.
Entitled class.
An enlightened class.
Who actually know what they're talking about.
Who have the enlightenment to see what they're talking about.
People who are entitled to their money because they earn their money.
They're not sixth generation.
Okay?
Or they're the management class, who's there today, not there tomorrow, and they don't even care about their own stockholders.
Just let's get that salary higher and higher and higher and higher, and then who cares what happens?
Then you're on the beach somewhere.
Maybe not even in the United States, so you don't have to pay taxes.
I mean, look at the founder of BLM.
She's fine.
She's a Marxist, buying homes, you know, a dime a dozen, trying to get a little real estate empire.
She wants to be a mini-Trump, maybe.
That's what it is.
It's the hypocrisy.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
But hold it, but hold it.
She's buying a house.
I have no problem with people buying a house, but she's buying a house and the title, I think, is 99% white.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, right?
It's a little mini mansion there.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Look at the front page of the New York Post today.
She's putting together a portfolio, which is amazing.
It's the American dream.
unidentified
But please preach what you practice.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Preach what you practice.
Can't we just be honest with one another?
And to your point about religion, it's not just the evangelical Christians.
If I, as a Jew, walked into a boardroom and started talking about how I am so proud to be Jewish, I'm proud of my religion, I'm taking off Shabbos and Talmud, I'd be looked at crooked.
If I walked in a wig and said my name is, you know, Brenda, that's all great, it's Brenda.
No problem.
Now Boris is a she.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
Okay, that is now your nickname, by the way.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Okay, well, you know.
We're gonna call you Rachel, okay?
They would be more accepting of that than me practicing my First Amendment right and saying I'm a religious Jew.
There's no such thing anymore as protection for religion, respect for religion.
All you have is respect for woke nonsense.
Let's go back to, I think one of the best things said in the last year is Bill Maher.
And yes, you heard me just say that.
Bill Maher calling us as silly people.
That is what America has become and those 100 CEOs are in big part to think because they're driving their corporate culture.
Coca-Cola, you have to apologize for being white.
Are you joking me?
Are you kidding me?
unidentified
Boris, hang on for one second.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Hang on a second.
We're gonna take a short break.
We have Boris, Rahim, all of us.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
Brenda and Rachel, you mean.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Wow.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Guys.
You guys.
Okay.
Short commercial break.
We'll return in The War Room in a moment.
scott pelley ▲ ● ▼
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Banham.
unidentified
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
scott pelley ▲ ● ▼
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
You know, Rahim, what Boris brought up with the silly people, that's from David Lean's great film, screenplay by Robert Bolt, I think 1962, Lawrence of Arabia, where they first meet.
He meets Omar Sharif, the sheriff, one of the principal guys of Saudi Arabia when they're so disunited.
And he says, here's your problem.
You're a silly people.
Right?
You don't understand what the problem is.
We're speaking the truth to power here.
Corporate power.
I understand a lot of people in the Republican are clutching their pearls right now.
This is what we told you, those guys are all, they're all socialists.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
They had this article, I think Greenwald said it, said Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon are actually socialists.
No, we're not.
We're farthest from socialists.
But we understand, we understand the problem of too much corporate power unchecked.
And you're seeing it today, in your life.
Because very shortly you ain't going to be able to get on a plane, you're not going to be able to get hired.
That's all coming.
That's Steve Bannon saying that.
That's Naomi Wolf saying that.
And now we expose it over this weekend.
This weekend was a seminal inflection point in our movement.
The money in the Republican Party threw down hard.
We don't want Trump.
He's divisive.
He's very divisive.
And we don't want Trumpism.
Here's what they want.
They want college educated young women in the suburbs.
Here's what I want.
I want the browning of this party.
I want the Rio Grande Valley to win every congressional district up and down there.
I want to win Henry Cuellar.
He understands.
He's a smart guy.
Been around 32 years.
He understands South Texas.
He's next.
He gets it.
On that border.
Okay?
With those working class folks down there.
And in the inner cities.
African-Americans and Hispanics and Asians.
Why are we broadcasting Mandarin all day long?
Why am I suppressed by the Chinese Communist Party?
I'm on their list?
Sanctioned?
You don't see Joe Biden, any of those guys sanctioned?
You don't see Hunter sanctioned?
You don't see Jake Sullivan.
By the way, did Joe Biden say Jake's not the most brilliant guy I've ever met?
Oh my god, talk about a problem.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
He called Jake Sullivan one of the most brilliant guys I've ever met.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I think there's a story.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
Is he picking parmesan out of the carpet too?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
It's unbelievable.
Second to Hunter.
Second to Hunter.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
So he's getting the leftovers.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
So, it's signal, not noise.
Look, here's one of the signals.
Mike Lindell is going to be on tomorrow for an hour to walk through everything that's happened this week on the social media platform, on his fight with Dominion, and other things that he's coming out with.
Make sure you go today.
Support Lindell, support MyPillow, the great American manufacturing company, and War Room.
Go to MyPillow.com right now and type in PROMOCODEWARROOM.
Okay?
You've got the sheets, you've got slippers, huge discounts, sales everywhere.
Just go there today.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
Are we celebrating the walking away from the pillow fight from David Hogg?
unidentified
This is amazing.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Another talk about victory.
We had victories.
By the way, folks, ladies and gentlemen, understand, this is a great weekend for us.
All the devils are coming out.
All the devils are coming out.
This is fantastic.
And everything, you know, preaching the gospel of populism and nationalism, hey, we're on fire now.
You know why?
Because all the enemies are coming out.
And Jerome, here's the thing, it's such a reaction, knee-jerk reaction, he doesn't even understand the power of what he's giving us by telling us what their plan is, how they roll, and why you and this audience have worked so many generations, have worked so hard, and you are two paychecks away from oblivion.
Because the managed decline of our country by our elites.
You've got old Harry Reid up there.
April Ryan, she's commenting on Harry Reid.
Boris has nailed it.
Harry Reid, that's a paragon right there.
The son's up to his neck with the Chinese Communist Party.
The whole family's corrupt.
You know, only maybe top of the blunts in Missouri or the McConnells.
All of them.
All of them come as poor country lawyers.
Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, all come as poor country lawyers with not two dollars to rub together.
Go back and look at the original financial disclosures.
They're all multi-millionaires today and their families.
It's an aristocracy!
It's an aristocracy!
Didn't we fight that back?
Wasn't that really the basis of what we were trying to get out of in 1776?
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Isn't that what Hamilton told us about?
You know, a kid who came up from the Caribbean?
Right?
Never knew who his dad was?
Scottish aristocrat, I believe.
Just saying.
Right?
Maybe a Scottish merchant.
But he understood that this was anti-aristocratic.
The reason Thomas Jefferson, the reason we backed... Hey, I think we backed the anti-aristocrat guys in France.
Got a little out of control.
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
They went a little too far.
Hey, I'm an Irish Republican.
I've got no love for Prince Philip.
God rest his soul.
You're going to see crocodile tears here.
Not going to see them.
No way.
No way.
Right?
unidentified
How did we get onto Prince Philip?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Anti-aristocratic.
I do like the fact that the biggest fight that he ever had with the Queen was over what?
The only time he had a fight and he said, hey, I'm nothing more than an amoeba.
The big fight they ever had.
When he said, hey, we've got to go back to our name, Mountbatten, not Windsor.
Because Windsor's trying to cover up from, they're all Germans.
They're all Germans.
That's in World War I, they had a change of marketing.
They had Raheem Kassam as one of their marketing guys, you know, those little courtiers around the same place.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
We'll have to have a longer debate about this, because there is a distinction between modern aristocracy and traditional aristocracy.
You can't, by the way, and ask Darren Beatty about this when we have him on later on in the show.
You have to understand that it is impossible to run anything, companies, nations, families, without a higher echelon, a father figure, a decision maker, a leader.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Kassam is defending the patriarchy right there.
Good, and he's defending.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼
No, it's true.
But it's about whether or not those things are magnanimous, are caring, are virtuous, are moralistic.
And maybe Prince Philip wasn't, or any and all of those things, but I've got to tell you, there's far more evidence over the course of human history to suggest that, because here's the thing, people say, people like you, for instance, will say, get rid of the monarchy, it's an outdated institution, it's out of touch with the public, blah, blah, blah.
You don't ask to throw the role of the presidency out when your presidents are corrupt.
So why would you throw the role of the crown out when members of the royal family are corrupt?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
It's totally different.
We'll get to that.
Boris, real quickly, what's your social media?
Thank you for hanging in the segment.
What's your social media handle so people can follow you?
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
It's been a great hour, it's been so much fun.
I will recommend that the Daily Caller's got the lineup of Prince Philip's greatest quips, and there's some porn burners in there.
One of the best, the Italian Prime Minister offered him some wine, and Philip said, just get me a beer, any beer.
I thought that was pretty funny.
There's some other ones.
I love that, I love that.
Asking a Scottish driver how anybody stays sober enough to learn how to drive.
There's some good stuff in there.
Rest in peace, Prince Philip.
And you're right about Mombat.
Now, it wasn't going back to their name, Mombat, because Philip's last name isn't Mombat.
That was borrowed from Uncle Dickie, as Raheem A.K.A.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Rachel Wellman.
Boris, we've got to bounce.
We're going to put your social media up in the next hour.
unidentified
Okay, thank you, brother.

Good work.
See you tomorrow.
