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. Banham.
joe biden
It was a murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see.
The systemic racism the Vice President just referred to.
The systemic racism is a stain on our nation's soul.
The knee on the neck of justice for black Americans.
Profound fear and trauma.
The pain, the exhaustion.
And black and brown Americans experience every single day.

Don't touch me, dude!
mark finchem
Don't touch me!

You touched me, dude!
joe biden
You stepped in front of my bike!

Don't touch him!

Stay back!

This has been declared an unlawful assembly.
All persons must immediately leave the area of attention.
Back up.
Back up.
I want you by that light.
You're good.
That's correct.
And what we're really seeing is mob justice, and that's really what happened with this entire trial.
This was not a trial about George Floyd or Derek Chauvin.
This was a trial about whether the media was powerful enough to create a simulation and decide upon a narrative absent any facts, whether it was powerful enough to repeat showing and talking about a nine-minute clip that came from somebody's cell phone without adding any context, without showing the full, you know, the full police video, which they could have released.
They refused to release the full body cam, which would have added more clarity.
to the fact that the media was lying.
You know, the media came out, let's not forget this Tucker, the media came out and told us that this was a man who was just getting his life together.
He was a good, you know, good member of society and he got mixed up because a racist white police officer had it out for him and killed him.
All of that fell apart.
All the facts came out and all of that fell apart.
We now know, of course, that he had enough fentanyl in him.
It was three times the lethal dosage, three times lethal dosage in him when he died.
But nobody cares because the media was successful in putting out a narrative and they kept hitting that narrative.
And the reason why the Democrats are happy is because they realize, of course, the media supports them and now means the Democrats can get whatever they want because they can create a narrative and then they can treat people like pawns and get them to basically say, if we don't get what we want, We will riot, we will loot, we will send these people out like soldiers to destroy your neighborhoods.
And that is exactly what has happened.
That has been the determination of this trial.
The media and the Democrats now have enough power to bully, to bully and to lie to and to create propaganda and to successfully win.
And that is what happened and they are celebrating that win today.
steve bannon
Okay, it's Wednesday, the 21st of April, year of our Lord 2021.
You're in the War Room with over 47 million downloads, and of course, live everywhere, John Fredericks, Real America's Voice, Roku, Pluto, and up on GNews, GTV, and Mandarin, Raheem Kassam in studio.
We've got Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
So Mayor and Rahim, jump in here.
We started with Joe Biden, the systemic racism.
We showed what happened in Portland last night with his beatdown of a police officer by Antifa, the lawlessness and anarchy in Portland and other cities.
And of course, Candace Owens framing this about what happened in her mind, what happened yesterday.
And of course, as we come on this morning, The Justice Department, I think, is suing the Minneapolis Police Department.
It looks like they're going to get back into the consent decree business.
Mayor Rudy Giuliani, you know all about that.
President Trump put an abeyance on that when he was President of the United States.
So, Rudy, are these police forces, is America systemically racist?
Is Joe Biden right?
Are the police forces systemically racist, sir?
rudy giuliani
That's a complete lie.
It's a fiction.
It's propaganda.
It's said for the purpose of Keeping control over the African-American community in the inner city.
And thank God, many of the African-Americans like Candace Owens have broken free of that propaganda.
And it's a way of staying in office.
It's the only way they can stay in office.
They have no programs.
They have nothing that can really help America.
Without being able to dominate the African-American vote, the party would shrivel.
And it's become now a party of one issue.
It's a one issue party, racism.
And America is far from racist.
You wouldn't have had yesterday's verdict if we were a racist country.
A police officer never would have been tried in the first place.
Harris wouldn't be in the White House if we were a racist country.
Every American would have voted against Biden because they didn't want Harris.
We never would have elected Barack Obama two times if we were a racist country.
Do we have racists in America?
Yes.
Well, we probably have a lot fewer racists than we do other things.
You know, you'd have to say we're a country where we all have cancer, because we have a certain number of people who have cancer.
It's a ridiculous statement from a man who probably doesn't even understand what he's saying anymore.
And I actually believe if Joe Biden weren't suffering from his illness, he wouldn't be pushed that after he wouldn't go that far.
He wouldn't let The crazy radicals that are around him.
They're not crazy, actually.
They hate America.
They hate America in the sense of they hate our form of government.
They want to be in control.
They want us to be a country in which the citizenship is dependent on them so they can get elected.
Because they can't get elected on their own.
Generally, they get into office like Pelosi.
And, you know, 200 years later, they're millionaires.
We don't know how it happened.
Same thing with big mouth Maxine Waters.
Woman's a millionaire.
You think that woman can make a million dollars?
I mean, she can hardly talk and make sense.
But she's been inciting riots from the beginning of her career.
First year in Congress, she helped to make the Rodney King riot much, much worse.
There, 63 people died.
Then she went on to obstruct a trial.
And then, of course, you know, she did what she did the other day, which should happen on the other side for a Republican.
I think we Republicans would have expelled that person from Congress.
If some fellow Republican went in front of a courtroom, basically, right outside a courtroom, and told a bunch of people to riot more if they don't get what they want, I say this person doesn't belong representing America as a Republican or a Democrat.
But this is, the Democrat Party has created this.
Let's not just focus it on waters and a couple of the really bad ones.
The rest of them accept it.
Either they agree, or they're a bunch of sheep, but it now stands for the party.
Democratic Party wants to run on, hey guys, like me, you're racist.
And people are saying to themselves, you know, 98, 99% of Americans looking at their soul today and said, am I a racist?
God, I don't feel differently about people of different colors.
Maybe you are Joe, but I'm not.
I never said the things Joe said all over his career.
unidentified
Joe has a history of being suspected of being a racist.
rudy giuliani
No one would say you're racist, and everybody would attribute it to the fact that they have no brain.
steve bannon
Let me go to two things.
One, I'm going to get to consent decree and how you're actually going to have law and order in these big cities like Chicago, New York, and D.C., Philadelphia, Minneapolis.
But do you agree with Candace Owens' assessment?
I mean, you're one of the great prosecutors, ran Southern District of New York.
You've been a law and order guy your entire life, been a mayor of a big city.
Do you agree with her assessment of the decision the jury came to?
rudy giuliani
No, I would say, let me put it in two ways.
This is going to be playing lawyer a little bit.
Basically, you have to look at a jury's verdict and you would overturn it if it was against the weight of the evidence.
It's not.
The jury's verdict is rational.
It could be based on the evidence they had in front of them.
Would I have, if I were on the jury, would I have voted for murder two?
No, maybe three, maybe manslaughter in that category.
Even without regard to knowing the penalties, which are horrendous for murder.
For murder too, it's 40 years.
For the other, he could be out in 10 or 12.
So I probably would have gone for the compromise.
I do think he was guilty.
I mean, I judge that on my own by just watching.
There's only one piece of evidence in the case.
I mean, the rest of the case is somebody's opinion.
Watching him.
Watching him actually do what he did to the man.
steve bannon
But her point is they play that over and over and over again, but they didn't contextualize, or his defense didn't contextualize enough, the entire arc of the arrest.
Do you buy that?
rudy giuliani
I do buy that.
Of course they did.
And they sensationalized it, they made it worse than it is.
But you know, that's the way it is.
If you shoot and kill somebody, they're going to show that.
They're not going to show everything that happened before, they're going to show you shot and killed somebody.
And then it's the province of the defense to then put in the explanation that either makes him innocent or ameliorates it.
But in this particular case, the defense chose to have one day of defense.
And they didn't put him on the stand, which Professor Dershowitz last night said.
And I tend to agree with it.
It's very hard to put a person on the stand because their whole life comes out.
But I think he had no chance to be acquitted.
Unless he got up there and somehow convinced the jury that he didn't intend to do what they see him do.
That he was frightened, that he was confused, that the man earlier on was so threatening that they had to do this.
Sure heard none of that.
So you can't criticize the jury.
Do you want to say it was justice done?
I would say a fair conclusion would be that justice was overdone.
This should have ended up as a manslaughter, murder, three conviction.
And what's the difference?
Life in prison, anywhere from 10 to 15 years in prison.
That's the difference.
steve bannon
Besides the sentencing, though, what's the difference?
Why do you say it should have been the murder three count versus the murder two?
Besides what he would get, is there any technical aspect that you think is incorrect?
No, no.
rudy giuliani
The elements are so similar that it really becomes a choice of the jury and kind of an equitable choice that they can make.
The minute they came back so quickly, I knew he was convicted on everything.
They weren't a jury that took enough time to compromise.
Compromise takes a couple of days.
Because you're going to have jurors that want him on the top count, jurors that want him acquitted, and finally they compromise.
So this jury was 100% convinced, I have no doubt about it.
And you could even listen to them.
I'm very, very skilled at listening to them because I used to have to do it in case there was a juror that was wavering.
Maybe you could overturn a conviction.
Except for the last juror.
Every single one of them was proud to announce their verdict.
The last one had a little hesitation of the voice.
But I've rarely heard a jury as unanimous as that.
steve bannon
Yeah.
Walk our audience through this suit by the DOJ today on the Minneapolis Police Force.
Talk to them about, I don't think the audience understands consent.
We've got about two minutes.
We'd love to keep you over the next segment.
Walk through, what does this mean for policing in our big cities?
rudy giuliani
The disaster.
I mean, think about it.
You're a young man, young woman, 22, 23, 24.
You're thinking about a career in law enforcement.
Maybe you've gone to college for it or whatever.
You're going to join a police department that has overseers?
The rules are not bad enough, you know, with you being a second guest on everything.
Now you're going to have the usual city bureaucracy overseeing you, the state bureaucracy.
And now the federal government has people that are coming in that have decided your police department is so bad it has to be overseen by the federal government.
I mean, you ratchet down your level of talent.
steve bannon
When you say overseen, be specific.
What would these consent decrees, what would the DOJ actually do to, say, New York City or Minneapolis?
rudy giuliani
The DOJ will do an intense investigation.
They'll try to find anybody at any time who has any set of facts where they can claim the person was a racist, fair or unfair.
They will monitor everything the police commissioner does.
Anything that borders on what they think is racist, they'll have the power to tell him, no, he can't do it.
He has to not do it.
They really become the mayor and nobody elected them.
And of course, from this Justice Department, I don't know what to expect.
I fought off and convinced the Clinton Justice Department not to do that to the New York City Police Department.
And then I think either Bloomberg or de Blasio Maybe Bloomberg toward the end of de Blasio allowed it for a short period of time.
A very short period of time.
And actually, the Justice Department concluded, this would have been the Obama Justice Department, New York City Police Department didn't need it.
It was not majority white police department.
They had an excellent record of training.
steve bannon
Mayor, we're going to take a short commercial break.
unidentified
We'll be back with Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

With Stephen K. Bannon.

rudy giuliani
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
OK, welcome back.
It is Wednesday, the 21st of April, Year of Our Lord 2021.
We're going to be rejoined with Mayor Giuliani in a second.
We also have Doug Wardlow, who's running for the Republican nomination to take on Keith Ellison, the attorney general in Minnesota.
He'll join us and also Boris Epstein.
We're going to go to Arizona.
We've got on this Forensic hand audit, a lot going on in the first hour here.
Remember, Mike Lindell, they launched Frank's speech, had a few bumps, many attacks.
They're soldiering on.
Mike Lindell is going to join us tomorrow on the show.
It talks about what the latest status of Frank is and what they're doing to plow through These constant attacks they're getting.
If you want to support Mike Lindell, the great team at MyPillow and The War Room, go to MyPillow.com today.
Make sure you type in promo code WAROOM.
You get up to 66% discounts, but tons of discounts on other products too.
Up to 66% on some.
Okay, go to MyPillow.com today.
Support the voice of freedom.
I want to go back to Mayor Giuliani.
Mayor, we're really jammed, but I've got to ask you, we're going to have Mark Fincham and the team out in Arizona later in the hour.
If we can put that photograph I sent Cameron, if we can get that to Denver and put it up to show the floor of the place.
They've done an amazing job.
Today actually does the official transfer.
Well, I'm very, very happy it's happening.
over to this uh... amazing looks like an arena they're going to do a convention center mayor this kicked off with your tremendous presentation uh... with uh... in a in a more subsonic tar team pulled together to help you did an incredible a presentation at the thinking november i think is a but there was one right after gettysburg uh... yes and uh... some what do you think that what you thought today we start to hear the forensic and audit well i'm very very uh... happy it's happening of course i'd like to have had that happen back then
rudy giuliani
But I'm still very interested because this will guide how we conduct elections in the future.
And maybe answer some of these issues about a ridiculous thing about Jim Crow laws, like the law being passed in Georgia.
Every state needs a law like that.
And it's a perfectly reasonable law.
It's more restrictive than some and less restrictive than others.
It's about as restrictive as it needs to be so you can find out who's voting.
But it allows tremendous access, much more than New York, Delaware, many, many Democrat states.
So this will help to pass those laws and stop HR1.
So this is going to be a very complete audit, I hope.
In the past, they have had a history of promising us to do it.
And then at one point, they were going to bring in a company that was connected to one of the companies involved.
Then at another point, Bring in a company that also had a strange record.
Now we've agreed on a company that is independent, that has a very, very good record.
So this should work unless they interfere, or unless they play around with the machines.
But we're told that even if they play around with the machines, the memory of the machine will preserve the fact that they did that.
steve bannon
The Perkins-Coy, which has been pretty arrogant in this entire process, they're the architects of the reversal of the November 3rd decision by the voters.
They did the Transition Integrity Project, they've been the architect about this.
They've been very arrogant in saying they had the high ground, but they sent this kind of frantic letter.
Out to the different companies that are actually doing the audit the other day.
I think it was on April 6th.
Pretty shocking.
I think we want to get that up in the live chat also.
Why is Perkins Coie kind of panicked now that this process is about to start?
rudy giuliani
Well, I mean, if they're good lawyers, they found out what happened.
And they don't want you to know, right?
I mean, we've already had tests of the machine.
I mean, we've had very, very intensive tests of 22 machines and then three others here and there.
So, plus I've gone through the handbook, answers most of the questions that you have.
If you just read the handbook, I just filed a response in one of the cases we're involved in.
I took the handbook out and I attached it and I showed from the handbook that this is a, these machines are machines that, first of all, were built to be manipulated.
So, What do you think?
Well, let's see.
We're going to have the audit, we're going to get the results, and we'll see.
I also would like them to tell me how many dead people voted.
steve bannon
Well, I think the low-hanging fruit on the dead, the illegal aliens, etc.
rudy giuliani
According to the Arizona result, no illegals voted in there.
That's impossible.
unidentified
Impossible.
had to be at least forty or fifty thousand. Illegals.
steve bannon
We've invited them in and come on. They couldn't be more adamant that it doesn't cross, they're not hooking up to the internet, does not cross county lines, it's impossible to manipulate these. So we'll see. But this is the beginning of it.
Rudy, I just want to say thank you.
rudy giuliani
All I would say is read their handbook, and read the sections about how to have access from the internet, and then how to change votes.
Both are in there.
steve bannon
Mayor Giuliani, your podcast, you've got a blistering podcast that's coming out today.
How do people get access to it?
rudy giuliani
You just go to rudiscommonsense.com.
It's going to concern the conduct of Maxine Waters and show you how consistent this is.
It's going to show how she rejects our rule of law, our form of government, and just exactly what she's doing in the Congress.
I can't figure out.
She hates our country.
And the Democrat Party has now become the party that's running against America.
I mean, America is racist.
America is economically unfair.
America takes advantage of other countries all around the world.
Why are they running here?
Why don't they go someplace else where they can oppose us?
It's ridiculous.
I've never heard of a political party run against its own country.
Biden wants to look in the camera and say, vote for me, you're a racist.
Thank you, Joe.
Yeah, I'm a racist and you're a crook.
That's my response.
steve bannon
How do people get you on Twitter before we bounce?
rudy giuliani
You can get me at wabcradio.com.
I'll be on at three today.
And then you can get me all the time on rudyscommonsense.com, where we have now about 130 podcasts, including the most recent one was with and about Ms.
Waters.
steve bannon
Maxine Waters.
Okay, Rudy, thank you very much.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon
An audience favorite.
We're going to get to Boris and to Mark Fincham, everybody out in Arizona, to talk about how it kicked off with Rudy's presentation at that hotel.
It took, what, 12, 14 hours, so that started this and culminating now in the, at least, interim in the forensic audit itself.
We have asked guys from Dominion to come on if they want to come on and talk about it.
I want to go now to Doug Wardlow.
Doug is running for the Republican nomination to run against Keith Ellison, his attorney general.
Doug, you saw Keith Ellison finally came forward, had his moment last night.
Where do you stand on all this?
And particularly, in addition, where do you stand on the Justice Department now, I think, is suing the Minneapolis Police Department.
Looks like they're going to try to step in for a consent decree.
Where do you stand on all this?
unidentified
Well, good morning, Stephen.
Thanks for having me on.
You know, Minneapolis is breathing a sigh of relief this morning in the wake of the verdict, but we really shouldn't have to be breathing a sigh of relief at all.
We were all waiting on tenterhooks for the verdict to come down.
That shouldn't have been the case.
It really points to the fact that the rule of law is under attack, and Keith Ellison, as our top law enforcement official, he is responsible for allowing the rule of law in Minnesota and across the country to come under attack.
It's really a terrible situation.
You know, after the verdict came down, Keith Ellison Went to the cameras and he said that the verdict is not justice, but is accountability and a first step towards justice.
And he listed the names of other individuals who have died in interactions with police.
And he basically implied that all the cases are the same.
And he said that we need social transformation and systemic and enduring social change.
So for him, this is a crusade.
He's pushing this false narrative about race and systemic racism and policing.
He's using and abusing the death of George Floyd and other cases that bear some similarities to it to pursue an end.
So he's not concerned about individual justice.
Keith Ellison isn't concerned about individual justice.
And justice, remember, is always individual.
Justice in our system and in general means looking at the individual case and making sure, based on evidence, that a determination is made about guilt or innocence.
But if you're looking at As Keith Elgin does in all of these different cases, as different pieces in one push for social change, then you're ignoring justice entirely, and he's just looking for radical societal upheaval.
His comments indicate that, really, it seems like he just wants riots.
He wants social unrest.
He wants that to create some kind of different order to upend our social order.
It's really quite terrible and disturbing to see an Attorney General who is so radical and wants to undo As far as the investigation that Merrick Garland announced to the Minneapolis Police Department, that is quite terrible.
As Mayor Giuliani said, having overseers come in from the federal government and look and dig into the Minneapolis Police Department when there's no evidence at all of racism or systemic racism in the Minneapolis Police Department.
There's none.
And there's none in the Chauvin case either.
If there was evidence of any kind of racism in that case, we would have heard about it.
The prosecutors would have brought that forward, but they did not.
They did not, because there is no evidence of it.
And that's really the case.
steve bannon
Doug, real quickly, we want to get about a minute ago.
Didn't the voters in Minnesota vote for this?
I mean, it's one of the most progressive liberal states in the country.
All your executives at the state level, I think all the key executives in the Minneapolis city level, aren't they all progressive Democrats?
Didn't the voters out there vote for this?
unidentified
Well, there's a core of progressive Democrats in Minneapolis and in St.
Paul, but greater Minnesota and throughout the suburbs.
People in Minnesota, they want to be safe.
They're tired of riots, tired of unrest.
They want to have politicians who are going to stand up for the rule of law and for social order, and that's exactly what I'm going to do, and I'm Attorney General.
I would really appreciate people's help.
We need to replace Keith Ellison, who is the most radical Attorney General in the country, and restore law and order, and I recommend that people go to DougWardlowHG.com to support us here.
steve bannon
Okay, Doug, thank you very much for joining us the day after the verdict in the War Room.
Thank you very much, sir.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon
I think Minneapolis and Minnesota are going to be a big item in 2022.
Do you not think, Mr. Rahim Ghassan?
Very intense.
We're actually going to have Rainer Jackson on.
Rainer's, I think, got a little different take than Candace Owens.
We're going to have Rainer on.
We've got Boris Epstein.
We've got Mark Fincham.
We're in Arizona.
We've got David Horowitz later, Liz Yor.
A bunch of fighters, fire breathers in the war room today.
Be back in a moment.

rudy giuliani
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to pivot.
We've got a lot of news to get to in Arizona.
By the way, lead story today in the Financial Times.
I'm going to give you a signal, not noise.
Ladies and gentlemen, how much, how long have we talked about this?
But the paper, the paper of the party of Davos, the Financial Times of London, headline, she calls for new world order.
That's not coming from the war room.
That's coming from the Financial Times.
Forget the camera on that.
She calls for new world order, an attack on U.S.
global leadership.
New World Order.
unidentified
By the way, if I had run that headline, I'd be called a conspiracy theorist.
steve bannon
And by the way, he walks through a New World Order, where the Chinese Communist Party and the Party of Davos are in the lead at this huge conference.
We're going to get into a lot of detail on this today and in the next couple of days.
But they also had some American speakers, right?
I know this is going to shock you.
Apple CEO Tim Apple, Tim Cook, right?
Goldman Sachs president John Waldron, Blackstone's head Steve Schwarzman, and Tesla's boss Elon Musk.
So they're all there, the globalists are all there feeding at the trough as she calls for a new world order.
New World Order, okay, with really the business model of state capitalism and dictatorial control and social credit scores and all this.
You know, they're not pressing at this conference, these guys are not sitting there pressing Xi with, hey, we need an international team to go into the Wuhan lab to find out what's going on, right?
Don't see any of that.
We've got Rasmussen polling we're going to get to later.
unidentified
Yeah, I've got some interesting polling talking about the boycotts and the coca-cola and what's going on in Georgia and all of that stuff, some exclusive Rasmussen polling.
I've also got some interesting information on the back of that, we'll be publishing later on today, a story about Joe Biden's buddy Max Baucus, his 2014 pick for China ambassador.
What could the United States ambassador to China now be doing for a job?
steve bannon
Working for China?
unidentified
He is absolutely working for the Chinese Communist Party's crypto exchange platform.
steve bannon
Oh, wow.
By the way, that's the crypto exchange platform, as we told you about.
It's all set, it's focused on one thing, to destroy the U.S.
dollar, therefore the U.S.
economy, and therefore you individually out there in the audience.
Whether it's buy a weapon from the Wuhan lab, or this is a total hoax.
The one thing you have learned over the last year is you've got to boost your immune system.
Only you can do that, okay?
Go to WormDefense.com today.
You get the free vitamin D3 and zinc, which are essential.
You've got to pay shipping and handling.
This is all American, all sourced in America, all made in America, so it's 100% American.
By the way, the reason she's here, they're talking about the global supply chains, particularly the medical supply chain coming back.
She's not happy.
Okay, also when you go, you've got to pay shipping handling for that, but go and you get all the information about the Defense Pack, which has more vitamins that are there to basically boost your immune system to work on oneself, begins with oneself.
We're all about human agency and action, action, action.
Take action right now.
Go to warrendefense.com.
Okay, we've got a lot to get through.
I want to bring in Boris Epstein.
Boris, just about Minneapolis, I want to pivot off this, because we've got to get to other news, but the Justice Department is now going to go get a dissent decree that's going to go through the police department.
It's one of the great things President Trump backed DOJ off of these local police departments.
How big, Ellison himself is going to become symbolic, right?
He is out front on this entire situation, more than just Minneapolis.
How big is this Wardlow-Ellison, you think this race is going to be, and what are your thoughts on Minneapolis?
boris epshteyn
Steve, first of all, great to be with you and Raheem.
Now, I know you're sad you didn't get invited to the World Forum over there in China.
You're probably checking for your invite.
It's in the mail, it's in the email.
I don't know why they're not inviting you, you know, over there.
I think they need a dose of Steve Bannon to tell them the truth.
It is sad commentary, and also it is sad commentary, the lineup.
of that forum.
They needed to create an extra Davos to be even more global.
Like, Davos wasn't globalist enough.
They needed to create a Davos on steroids and put it in China, just to make it clear who rules the world, the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party.
You know, the first thing I thought this morning when I read about Merrick Garland, the AG, having this probe of Minneapolis, the police department that could send to They just cannot leave this alone.
And it goes back to what we talked about yesterday.
The federal government wants to stir up tensions more and more and more until the whole country is a patter keg that blows.
Because what happens if this review is done, and it turns out that there's not systemic racism, as Doug Wardlow was just talking about.
That there's not systemic racism in the Minneapolis Police Department, as is the expected result.
What's going to happen then?
Are more buildings?
Are more stores?
My wife's friends, families, businesses are going to burn again and again.
Her family's from Minneapolis.
Is that what's going to happen?
Why would Merrick Garland do this, especially today?
The verdict just came down yesterday.
We talked about the verdict, and Mayor Giuliani is exactly correct.
Justice does appear to have been served.
It may have been over-served.
I still see that contradiction.
I read about it a lot last night after the show, which was, by the way, I thought was awesome, really strong breaking news here on War Room.
Reminded me of 1990s type of breaking news programming, which is what news should be.
I read into this deeply.
I still see a huge contradiction between Murder 2 and Manslaughter 2.
The 2 cannot be, in my understanding, I completely disagree with it.
I think it's going to hurt Minneapolis more and more and more.
And also, what happened to federalism?
commission of another felony which assumes some level of intent so this happens yesterday show when this found guilty on all counts and then today garland comes in and announces this uh... this investigation is probe i completely disagree with that i think it's going to hurt minneapolis more and more and more and also what happened to federalism what i'm wise the federal government now going to be investigating the minneapolis police department over something that happened over a year ago on by the way about two to three years ago there was a
uh... a pay black police officer in minneapolis who shot a white woman by accident and there was a loss of so and so forth You didn't see an in-depth investigation.
Then, the numbers actually are interesting on the ethnicity of people shot by police who are unarmed, and it appears that more white people are actually shot by police than black people.
You won't hear that on most of the mainstream news.
Now, we have to talk about, obviously, percentages and ratios, etc., etc.
But the point is this.
The Joe Biden administration wants to paint this country, you heard it from the UN ambassador, they want to paint this country as some racist, bad place to live.
How is that a way to govern?
How is that a way to uplift our people?
How is that a way to make Americans feel good about themselves?
This constant shame, constant putting down of the American people, of the police force, is only going to drive this country into the ground.
And speaking of police, let's remember some specifics.
Most, a lot of police families are generational, right?
The grandfather was a policeman, the dad's a policeman, the son's a policeman, it goes on and on.
You really think that cop families want to continue the tradition after everything they're seeing out there today, the vilification?
From horrible people like Maxine Waters, AOC, and others?
steve bannon
I think that's the point of what they're trying to get to.
They're saying, hey, there's all these racists for generation and generation, we've got to get them out of there.
The thing that shocks me is Minnesota's the most progressive liberal state, the police department, all of it reports up to nothing but a group of progressives.
We're burning time here.
I want to go back to Arizona.
The initial presentation Rudy did that day, I think it was 14 hours long, at that hotel kind of kicked in.
He was mocked and ridiculed.
You can't even do it in the, they want to have you in the House or the Senate.
This is such a sidebar.
You're a clown.
People work for you.
You're a clown.
This is all a clown show.
Well, they ain't saying it's a clown show now because Mark Finch is going to tell you the ballots and the machines, they're all coming over today to start.
They're going to start a training exercise and get on with it.
Put it in perspective.
Boris, how important is this?
How big?
And by the way, we're still at the top of the first inning, right?
Because now you start a whole process, there's going to be lawsuits, all that.
Put it in perspective for us.
boris epshteyn
Exactly right.
One last thing, 20 seconds about Minneapolis.
Don't forget, Keith Ellison won that election after confirmed reports of abuse by his significant other.
Women came out and said Keith Ellison abused them.
And he still got elected.
And Doug Wardlaw better be talking about that a lot as he's running for that.
We need Doug Wardlaw to win that AG election.
That is a national election in Minnesota for AG.
Keith Ellison is a bad guy, an anti-Semite, a Farrakhan disciple.
Should not be in that position.
Now on to Arizona.
This is the top of the first inning.
That process is going to last about 40 days from the start.
And the start is effectively today, tomorrow.
So for those of you who are listening, who are watching, who are following, don't expect a result tomorrow.
You don't want a result tomorrow.
Because this is a real audit and a re-canvas of 2.1 million ballots.
About 65% of Arizona's ballots come from Maricopa County, and this is where it's getting audited.
And again, go to the reaction from Dominion, from Mark Elias, from Perkins Coie, from the Democrats, and the total blackout on mainstream media.
Why are they freaking out about this?
Why are they so worried?
Remember, 2016, I think there was some sort of recount in Michigan that the Green Party asked.
We didn't even notice.
Oh, sure, whatever you want, you know.
Yes, whatever you want.
We knew we won.
The Trump team knew we won that election fair and square.
Why are the Democrats freaking out?
Why are they sending letters signed by groups which total over 70 lawyers?
The reason is, as Mayor Giuliani so succinctly put it, is because they're afraid of what we are going to find.
And that is why it is so vital to make sure that this audit is secure, to make sure that it is not disrupted, and to make sure that it is true and correct.
Because the numbers I'm hearing, the potential expectations of the gradient of wrong in this election, of the gradient of mistake, is overwhelming. And I'm not even going to say it's so big.
If I not say it. I'm hearing up to 30 percent. Now that would be absolutely earth-shattering. That would mean what? You're looking at 600,000 votes. I'm not even expecting that. If this election in Maricopa County was off by five percent, five percent, that is groundbreaking. Two percent.
2% changes the election.
You gotta remember, Joe Biden only ended up winning Arizona by less than 10,000 votes.
When I got to Arizona on November 5th, he was up by about 180,000 votes.
We ended up down just under 10,000, and you're gonna see what the real result was.
And it's the top of the first inning, not just in Arizona.
Because if we see wrongful results, if we see true discrepancies in Arizona, how can Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and others not follow suit and have a real, true audit and re-canvas?
They're not going to be able to escape it.
steve bannon
Boris, what is your social media?
Because people want to follow you.
Remember, Boris was sent out there as the President's representative to oversee this.
And people, I think, in the audience don't understand.
Behind the scenes, we're going to get Fincham on here in a second.
The work and the tenacity that the team out there and various people put in there is just extraordinary.
You're seeing the same thing in Georgia.
There's so much going on behind the scenes that you can't see that people are just literally dedicating their lives to make sure this happens.
Boris, what's your social media?
boris epshteyn
Steve, thanks so much.
We'll never forget the count going down from 150, 120, 100, all the way to under 10,000.
I thought we were going to win Arizona fair and square, but you know how it is.
They keep counting until the Democrats win, but now this audit is stopping them in their tracks.
Follow me at BorisEP on Twitter, Boris underscore Epstein, Boris underscore EPSHTYN on the gram.
Stay on top of this.
This is a vital, vital issue in Arizona.
Stay strong.
God bless.
See you tomorrow.
steve bannon
Yeah.
We did win, and now we're going to prove that we won.
That's what this is about.
Let's bring in Mark Finch.
We've only got a minute.
We're going to hold Mark over to the thing.
Mark, you're live from where, Mark?
Tell us where you are.
Tell the audience where you are today.
mark finchem
Good morning, Steve.
I'm at the Coliseum, which is the Arizona State Fairgrounds.
And this is the scene here right now.
They're finishing the setup.
And when you come back, I'll explain kind of what people are looking at.
This is set up for trying to process 2.1 million ballots in the space of 40 days.
And every single one of them by hand.
steve bannon
This is a hand forensic audit, correct?
mark finchem
That is correct.
Hand inspection and retabulation of votes.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
We're going to return to Mark Fincham and the team out there in Arizona as we commence the training part, the transfer of the ballots, and a hand forensic audit and re-canvas in the great state of Arizona, brought to you by the folks that watch, listen, and support The War Room.
Back in a moment.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
OK, we're going to go right back to Arizona.
Remember, folks, a lot of times you're saying, hey, you guys got to focus on this.
Trust me, we've got a lot of stuff simmering in the background.
And every now and again, you've got to bring them up to the front burner and put the heat on them.
That's what's happening in Arizona.
Historic day, the transfer of 2.1 million physical ballots, machines, all of it.
Hand of forensic audit, also re-canvas.
I want to go back to Mark Fincher.
Mark, I can't say enough the work and you and others have done to bring us to this day.
And everybody should understand we're at the top of the first inning of this, right?
The lawsuit is going to come.
This is where the grind really starts.
But I can't say enough.
About the patriots out there and even establishment Republicans have pulled together and said, hey, you're right.
We can't go forward until we find out what happened on November 3rd.
This is what it's all about.
Let's find out exactly what happened on November 3rd.
And this is how you do it.
So, Mark, put us in the room there.
Tell us what's going on and what can we anticipate?
mark finchem
All right, Steve, thank you very much.
I want to make sure that people understand we have both uniformed and plainclothes security throughout the building, around the perimeter, the fence line.
We've got rings of security.
So what I'm going to do is walk you through where we're at right now.
This is the area where we will see ballots brought into.
A cage system, all of the access up in the bleachers, that's all been cut off.
And this is where the ballots will be brought to from Maricopa County by the truckload.
And I mean, we're talking about an ice hockey arena that's, it's almost the entire length of the arena.
Then we've got the stations that people are going to be at.
As you can see, we've got yellow, green, blue, pink.
These are all very purposely set out.
And what I want to do is show you the level of security that they are going to have on this.
Not only is there a camera that is going to be looking down upon every ballot that is looked at, okay?
You are also going to have an overhead camera that is going to watch.
This entire thing is going to be recorded.
So if anybody has a beef with the way it's done, you want to talk about transparency?
This is exactly what transparency looks like.
But each one of these stations is going to be staffed by two people, actually three people on each side.
And you're going to have a Democrat, a Republican from what I understand, and you're going to have a third person.
They're going for an extremely low error rate.
Which it should be if you're counting dots on pieces of paper.
They're also going to be inspecting the paper for things like creases and all that.
So this is pretty much it as far as what the system is going to look like.
And then, of course, over here, once the ballots have been counted, they're going to be moved over to this side of the arena so that they can be returned back to the custody of the state treasurer.
steve bannon
Just for our radio and podcast audience, this is just a massive logistics operation.
And Mark, I gotta tell you, this is one of the reasons you should be Secretary of State.
This is incredible what you guys have pulled together.
I mean, for citizens to come together and do this, and to fight in court, and to back off the Maricopa County Supervisors, You've had no support.
You have had Mary Fain and some of the people in the Senate have had your back.
But this is citizen-inspired.
This is deplorable-inspired.
This is people saying, no, no, no, no, no.
We can't go forward until we get to the bottom of November 3rd.
mark finchem
So, Mark, tell us... President Fan's done a great job.
President Fan's done a great job.
And this wouldn't be happening by... This is not a one-man show.
Senator Sonny Borelli, the Senate Whip, and Leo Biasucci, who's the House Whip, They have had a major role in this and trying to push this forward.
And to the point that Boris made earlier, you know, why are they spending so many resources on doing something that you would think that the Democrat Party would not only be doing the happy dance, they would be saying, we're going to get in your grill and tell you this is how we beat you.
But they're not doing that.
In fact, they're spending a lot of resources to try and fight this.
steve bannon
Do you anticipate, there's a lot of rumors out there that they're going to try to go into federal court and get some sort of TRO.
Is there any anticipation out there that they're going to actually try to get into the legal system today and shut down this entire operation?
mark finchem
I put nothing past these guys.
They know that this is a corrupt system that they have been trying to cover up.
Now, whether or not the corruption is incompetence or criminality, that remains to be seen.
But, I mean, just going through the ballots, This part of it.
The joy of our system is that the people have a right to scrutinize the election.
You don't see that in communist countries.
I'm pretty sure you're not going to see that in Chinese Communist Party land.
So one of the things that I want to make sure that we call out, there's an organization called the Guardian Defense Network.
And if people want to see more about that, they can go to fightback.network.
That's f-i-g-h-t-b-a-c-k.network.
It's a fairly new site.
It's a 501c4 application in.
So the people if they want to give to help support this effort.
Gardner Defense Fund has actually stepped up and is paying money for additional security at the site.
We could not get the governor to authorize DPS or National Guard to give a site security, but we have security nonetheless.
Private security firms, we have some law enforcement, off-duty officers, and like I said some of them are in plainclothes.
Some of them are in uniform, you're just not going to know who you're dealing with.
But sometime in a few hours we'll start to see the ballots arriving and they'll be going into this area over here that I had showed before.
And training will commence either late today or sometime tomorrow.
And then we'll be off to the races on Friday.
steve bannon
So a day of training, or a day and a half of training, start training later in the day after the ballots arrive, train all day tomorrow, Friday morning, that's the 40-day clock starts ticking on Friday morning?
mark finchem
That's about, that's correct.
Their target date is 40 days, so that they can have at least 10 days to compile the information, an additional 10 days to finish the report and get that into the hands of President Karen Chan.
steve bannon
Okay, so Mark, social media, how do people, what's the best way for our audience who are activists, they want to follow every second of this, what's the best way to do that?
mark finchem
Well, they can follow me on Gab.
It's AZHoneyBadger.
They can follow me on Parler, Mark Fincham.
Most of this information is going to appear in my weekly journal.
And they can just send an email to markfincham at me dot com.
And in the subject line, all you have to do is write journal.
And we will see to it that you get an opportunity to subscribe to it.
During the next 40 days, usually I only put that out once a week.
I'm probably going to put that out on Sundays and Wednesdays so that we can keep people up to date.
But if there is a breaking piece that we need to get out, we'll send out a breaking piece.
steve bannon
Okay.
Mark, thank you.
God bless you.
And make sure you tell everybody out there the deplorables have their back.
Couldn't be more excited about the work.
mark finchem
Roger that.
Thank you very much for your support.
We really appreciate it.
steve bannon
Thanks, brother.
Okay, the event in Georgia, I think one of the lead stories in the Hill this morning, Raheem Kassam, is about the Governor Kemp's under real pressure down there, this overwhelming turnout in Georgia, what's happening in Arizona, the two key states, the keys that pick the lock.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's because of you.
It's because of this audience, okay?
unidentified
You've had the back of the individuals, or you've participated, or you've donated.
steve bannon
It's all because of you.
