Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
anthony fauci
You don't want to frighten the American public.
unidentified
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.
anthony fauci
This is going to be a real serious problem.
unidentified
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.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always.
Because if you don't, and the worst happens... War Room.
unidentified
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
It's Thursday, the 22nd of April, the year of our Lord, 2021.
It's Earth Day.
Here, in the War Room, and of course in Washington, D.C., she, part of the New World Order, So says the Financial Times of London.
So says the New World Order has.
The New World Order has.
We're going to actually get a photograph up there momentarily.
You like that blue?
You're seeing blue now for the Denver control group.
Okay, Denver.
Okay, Denver.
Anytime.
We're live from the nation's capital and they're having a conference right now.
In fact, the Pope, Jorge, is going to speak at 10.30 at the Climate Conference.
Guys, producers, let's keep that down if we possibly can.
We have a live show going on here.
Our crack team in Denver is going to get our video up at any moment now.
We actually got a great photo.
The Guardian newspaper today started with... If that's going out over the thing, I want to tell people what it is.
Okay, what you're seeing, we can't see it here in the...
In the War Room, but you're seeing footage of, guess what, 2.1 million physical ballots that are now going to the convention center or the conference center over there in Maricopa County, okay?
And Mark Finchman, the great team.
This is now global news, and I can tell you why.
The Guardian newspaper, the newspaper of the progressive left worldwide, had it as its top story right after George Floyd and all the follow-up from Floyd, all the different shootings.
I think they had nine different shootings or something up all night long to browbeat the systemic racism of the United States of America.
But the freedom is About checking on these ballots, a forensic hand, not just audit, a hand audit and recanvass both ballots and machines.
The Guardian puts up a story to get that up to is that absolutely, absolutely freaked out that this is going to disrupt the election.
It's a terrible thing.
So that knows you can tell right there you're having you're having a lot of success.
We've got Mike Lindell, we've got this conference on the Vatican, there's a live climate change conference right now.
We told you the other day, signal not noise, they're pivoting away from the pandemic.
They're still all over the pandemic, don't get me wrong, about wearing your mask, they're now panicked about, they're looking at forcing functions, forcing functions to make you take the vaccine.
One of the forcing functions, they're going to give you a tax rebate.
Eventually companies are going to be trying to force you to do this.
So right now they're in panic mode saying that, you know, they think that vaccine hesitancy is going to not allow herd immunity.
And they're saying herd immunity is now all have to take the vaccine, has nothing to do with T cells or antibodies.
But they're pivoting hard.
To climate change.
And so the White House is doing climate change today, a global conference, and they invited the Pope.
He's actually going to address that.
We've got our staff at 1030 is going to get all into that.
I want to go to, I think, do we have Michael Yan?
Can we pull Michael Yan up?
We've got Michael Yon in.
Oh, we got a picture.
There we go.
Fantastic.
Thank you.
Thank you, Denver.
Appreciate that.
Just we'll play that footage later in the show to the footage is not.
Yeah, but now I want to get you on up.
The footage is.
The training starts today.
I think officially they're going to start on Saturday.
The clock starts ticking.
They've got 40 days.
Oh, excuse me, they're going to start tomorrow on Friday.
They've got 40 days.
They're going to have a live streamer there.
I think One American News is also going to be able to have a camera in there.
We're going to have wall-to-wall coverage.
Okay, let's go now to Central America, down to Panama, on this side of the Darien Gap.
You've got Michael Young.
team on that, Boris Epstein and others are going to be involved, Brian Kennedy, all the team that's been out there since really after November 3rd to make sure this thing gets sorted.
Okay, let's go now to Central America, down to Panama.
On this side of the Darien Gap, you've got Michael Yan.
Michael there's been a lot of talk about replacement theory and all this concept and all this theoretical stuff, but you're one of America's top combat correspondents from Afghanistan and from Iraq.
You've now kind of dedicated yourself, you did the Antifa story, but you've dedicated yourself to being down here and showing America and the world what's the reality of this horrific Horrific set of circumstances that have people really coming up and getting essentially captured by the cartels and then brought up for money to to the southern border of the United States.
Talk to folks about what you found over the last pretty stunning what you sent me on these logs and how they're actually logging in and kind of keeping count of all the different nations of the world that are coming up through the Darien Gap in route to the United States of America.
Could you walk us through that?
unidentified
Hey, Steve.
michael yon
Yeah, I just got back in from the jungle.
I've been deep out in the Darien Gap, not just Darien Province, but actually in the Darien Gap.
Out there, you know, very far beyond the paved road and then had to go up in hours and hours in boats.
And so I've been out there at the three main camps where the migrants actually come in.
One, the first camp is called Bajo Chiquito.
And Bajo Chiquito, you'll have a very hard time finding it on Google Earth.
I can't find it on Google Earth, but it's out there and I've got the coordinates.
And there are some other videos from out there.
And then I was at another camp called Las Blancas and then another called San Vicente.
Now the log that I sent you, the log book that I sent you, it was from San Vicente yesterday, where many of the Migrants are coming in.
I'm physically right there with the migrants.
I saw a lady... Hang on a second.
steve bannon
I just want the audience to know, the podcast audience, we've got a logbook up on screen.
Let's get that.
Let's do the split screen of Michael.
Not that he's not a beautiful thing.
The logbook is important.
Who's actually keeping this logbook?
And explain this to our audience, particularly the podcast and radio audience, what does the logbook show?
Our TV audience can see this, the live stream audience, the Real America's Voice audience, but tell exactly what this logbook is, how'd you come about it, and what does it say?
michael yon
I can't see what's on your screen, but since I took the photo, I can guess what the photo is.
Yesterday, I was at the San Vicente camp.
We'd just come out from deep from the jungle, and so all the Not all the migrants.
There's three major camps.
One is the collection camp where they walk out of the jungle.
That's Bajo Chiquito.
Then they take them to two other camps.
Those are La Has Blanca and San Vicente.
So this is at the San Vicente camp.
So there, you know, there's hundreds of migrants in there that go through every day.
And so a lady was logging down everybody that gets on the buses.
Centerfront, which is a Panamanian Border Patrol, they put the migrants on buses and take them up to Costa Rica later, right?
So, this lady's logging down everybody that goes on the buses.
She's logging down statements.
You can see on one of the logs that I sent you, it's a statement about a 14-year-old girl who got raped.
So, it's got the nationalities of people.
Many yesterday were from Haiti.
Actually, the logbook I got yesterday, but her notes were from the day before.
She was logging down more for today, right?
So you can see the date on the logbook.
And so I just walked up to her and said, can I photograph that?
And so she let me photograph it.
And we went from there.
But what she was writing down there corresponds with what I was making video right there of what was happening.
So that's the real deal.
That's the source document.
steve bannon
So Michael, hang on for one second.
Is she part of the government down there?
Is she with an NGO?
Is she just a good Samaritan?
Who does she really work for and why are they logging in people?
Why do they care since they're shipping them out as quickly as they come through to El Norte to get them out of there and get them up north.
Why do they care where they come from?
They're not doing any COVID testing it looks like there.
So who does she work for and what's the purpose of logging in?
michael yon
No, they're not doing any COVID tests.
Why are they logging them in and who is she?
Now, that was the first time I saw people with that t-shirt and you can see the logo on her t-shirt.
So, since I just got that this morning, or I'm sorry, yesterday morning, and we've been, I've been with Imbara Indians by the way.
So, I just came up right after being with her.
I came straight with Imbara Indians up here to Panama City for more meetings.
So, I haven't had a chance to run that down yet.
But she's clearly either pseudo government or anyway, she's logging them down.
And I've been in the camps and seeing that.
I mean, this is consistent with what what I was saying on.
You can see on the videos that I've sent you as well.
I mean, most of them were Haitians, as you can see on that log, and many others were Cubans, as you can see on the log.
But every day I see people from different groups, whether it's Indians, Nepalese, a lot from Congo, single, Oh, Senegal, so many other places.
And you can see them, they're right on that log.
Now, that's just one place.
Now, the day before that, I was out at Baja Chiquito.
That's way out in the jungle, way up on the boats and that sort of thing.
There's migrants in the rivers, bathing up and down the river.
I've got that on video.
And when we walked into Baja Chiquito, that remote village with no electricity, no telephone or anything along those lines, There was U.N.
people there.
There were four.
And I asked how many have come in today.
They said 231.
That was about noon and there were 231.
And there were still people coming in from the jungle, limping in, some carrying babies.
And so they were still steadily coming in.
At about noon, there were already 231.
Now, the first concrete that your foot steps on after six or ten days in the dairying gap of rape and murder and everybody being robbed is a store.
And I photographed that store.
I sent you a photo of it, I believe.
And you can see that's actually a Western Union MoneyGram place.
So in other words, you're coming out of the jungle.
You've got no money.
You're coming into this village, which is already filled with migrants who are waiting to get on boats to go to a detention center and then be sent north to the United States eventually.
But the first thing that you step on is...
steve bannon
So, Michael, that's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of.
When you see the UN, you see the woman either with an NGO or quasi-government or with the government, when there's obviously some process when they're coming through, these people, and look, this is a horrific journey, right?
And it's obviously being drawn by, they think there's some way to get into the United States.
Are they setting up camps down there to say, hey, look, there's no need to go forward, or is it just a processing that to get them processed and to send them north?
Are people down there, is there any response to the Biden administration's kind of root causes, or Kamala Harris's working on, you know, trying to sort the problem out down there, or are they just getting people processed and sending them north?
michael yon
Sending north.
Unless they pick you up on a terror watch list, you're going north, for sure.
Everybody comes in through Bajo Chiquito.
There are, I say everybody, let's be careful with that.
There are a few that are doing wind around trails now.
People that don't want to have their faces or be seen.
There's clearly other infiltration going on.
But the people that don't mind going to the detention center first are all going through Bajo Chiquito.
Now there are, I could go on for a long time, but this will be a side story.
But there are clearly other routes forming to avoid detention.
But as soon as you're picked up at Bajo Chiquito, they come into the camp.
That's, again, that's the camp.
You'll have a very hard time finding that on Google Earth, but you can Google it and see some stories about it.
From there, you'll have to pay $40 to get on a canoe.
These are the canoes that are made out of a tree, chopped down the tree.
And, you know, it's one of those sorts of canoes.
It'll fit 10 people, cost $400 for the 10 people.
So $40 each from Bajo Chiquito.
Then they take you down to either or to La Hasblanca is where you go next.
And so La Hasblanca, I saw a woman there, made video of her.
I haven't sent it to you because I haven't had time yet.
She's laying on the ground, fully pregnant, looks like she's dying, and it's unbelievable.
There's nothing I can do to help her.
It's a terrible situation down there.
And from there, they will either stay at La Hasblanca until they're shipped up to Costa Rica, or they'll go to San Vicente and then be shipped to Costa Rica.
steve bannon
I'm gonna go get a drink of water.
Okay, Michael, just hang on for one second.
We're going to hold you through this break.
We've got some more details I want to get into.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We're going to be joining Raheem Kassam and Natalie Winters.
Natalie Winters is going to join us.
A massive breaking story last night, Raheem.
Congratulations on the investigative reporting you guys are doing.
Then Mike Lindell is coming in and he's going to be talking about one of Raheem Kassam and the National Pulse's top targets, Alan Duke.
The guy's supposed to fact check.
Hmm.
He may not be so squared away.
We're getting to all that this hour with the launch of the new social media site.
Had a few hiccups.
Michael Lindell is going to talk about that.
Natalie Winters on point on some investigation of the Chinese Communist Party.
And of course, waiting for the Pope to address the climate change meeting on, guess what?
Earth Day 2021.
We'll be back in Central America.
The combat correspondent, Michael Yan, in the War Room in a moment.
unidentified
War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room Pandemic.
Here's your host Stephen K. Banham.
steve bannon
I hope the audience out there, and particularly the global audience, the diaspora, the Chinese people, understand the heroic nature of Michael Yan and the team he's got down in Central America.
They're in the Columbia side of the Darien Gap, but they're reporting on this, and to show you exactly what's happening and how this all forms, by the time you get to the Northern Mexico into the U.S.
border.
The Mexican cartels control that, right?
But when they come across, that's where you've got all these different nationalities.
The Biden administration, and look, this is not to demonize these people.
These people are rational.
The Biden administration is basically saying, hey, we're open for business.
We're going to be open borders.
All you got to do is get across.
So this journey is so perilous.
It's incredible, you know, and particularly for women, young girls, and children, right?
And you're in the clutches, and we're going to get into a more sophisticated analysis of this with Michael in the days to come.
There's a series of cartels.
You're just not on some stroll Up through some beautiful jungle, right, all the way to the Rio Grande.
It's not like that.
This is as tough a terrain as possible with nothing but bad hombres.
Look, there's a lot of decent people down there, but it's controlled.
Even the paramilitary guys down there, the military, the police, you never know who's making money off this and who's monetizing this.
Once again, those logs are incredible.
I saw, you know, I think I saw one of the things that had Chinese coming in, people from Asia.
You've got them from all over the world now are down there.
They understand that America has open borders and all they have to do is be bold enough and daring enough to basically risk it all.
You know, it's a roll of the dice.
They're prepared to roll the dice.
To get away from their home countries that have festered with corruption and incompetence and bad economies and these families that control these countries, right, that don't want to share the wealth.
This is a situation we're in and this is what's driving it.
And who does it go on in America?
The burden is on Hispanic working class and African-American working class on the border and in the inner cities.
And this is what, you know, from Lydia in Watts, The women from Watts all the way down to the hard-scrabbled counties in the Rio Grande Valley, which Donald Trump and Trumpism is doing such a great job in converting those folks to vote for the MAGA movement.
So, Michael, how do people continue during the day to get access to you?
How can they contribute to your heroic reporting down there of you and your team?
michael yon
Thanks, Steve.
I'm publishing every day on Patreon.
So Patreon, under my name, Michael Yon, Y-O-N, Yankee Oscar November.
And so, yeah, it is quite expensive down here.
This is not like driving to the Texas border.
This is the Darien Gap.
This is like Apocalypse Now stuff.
I mean, it's very serious out there.
It's a lot more dangerous than the Texas border.
It's beyond the law.
And so I've been out with Imbara Indians.
When the migrants come through Columbia, I was just down in Columbia, and then I came up to Panama.
That they will be in the clutches with Imbara Indians.
Most of the Imbara Indians, for instance, that I've been with, I've been in about a dozen of their villages recently, spending a lot of time with them.
They're very good people.
I like them very much.
But many of the Imbara that are out there deep inside of the dairying gap, they're rolling like Comanches.
And so they, and this is according to Imbara, are telling me this.
They're out there with rifles.
They're the ones that are out there doing the murders and out there robbing people.
steve bannon
Just a sense, we got a bolt, but just a sense, is this, you've been down there now for a couple, is this getting better day by day or is it getting worse as far as volume goes?
Are you seeing more volume now?
Is it staying the same or is it starting to drop?
michael yon
Clearly worse.
Clearly worse.
Everybody says that.
I mean, when I went to Bajo Chiquito, that's that first village that the migrants come to after they limp into, if they've survived the dairying gap, the place stinks.
Every other Imbara village I've been to, they smell good.
They smell like jungle.
They smell nice.
But the Bajo Chiquito, it's a terrible stench.
The migrants come in.
They're limping.
Many are bleeding.
Many are just dead.
They're out in the jungle and did not even make it.
And then they can be stuck there for quite a bit of time.
They have to collect money.
They have to get money from Moneygram or Western Union, some way to get them forward.
steve bannon
Michael, we're going to go to Patreon, but this is, hey, if Kamala Harris wants to focus on a root cause, here's one of the root causes.
Opening the gates and saying, hey, we're open.
All you got to do is get here.
So people are going to roll the dice.
Desperate people will do desperate things.
Michael, I want to thank you for your report.
It's been unbelievable.
Look forward to getting back to you this afternoon and tomorrow.
It's just incredible, the work you've been doing.
One more time, how do people follow you and how do people donate?
michael yon
Best is to go to my Patreon, and I really appreciate it, really need it.
I've got reader support since 2005 in Iraq and Afghanistan, Thailand, Hong Kong.
It's always reader support.
Thank you very much.
steve bannon
Michael, thank you so much.
Look forward to having you back on.
Michael Yan, heroic combat correspondent.
It's been in all the tough spots in the world.
He's told me, Rahim, he said, hey, this is as bad as Afghanistan during the days of anarchy.
I mean, this is the situation we have.
And this is why it's so unsatisfactory for the United States government, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to be instigating this.
That's what they're doing.
They're instigating this.
And this is the problem we have right now.
Let's bring in Natalie.
We're going to tie a couple stories together.
Mike Lindell's going to come on.
He's been lighting up.
If you have a chance to go to Frank, the live thing.
He's been for five hours.
This brother gets on a roll.
I mean, he makes my rants look like nursery school stuff.
He's been on a five hour rant on Alan Duke.
And that has been a guy that Raheem Kassam, once again, always ahead of the, you know, looking at the other side of the hill.
Raheem's been on this guy for a couple of years.
Alan Duke at Lead Story.
But it ties to Natalie Winters.
The amazing story broke last night.
We did it live, but it came up right at the end of it on National Pulse.
So Natalie, why don't you walk through what you got here about these journalists that are on the payroll of the Chinese Communist Party.
natalie winters
Sure, well these outlets that have accused us of spreading propaganda and disinformation, and really they're responsible for spearheading these foreign collusion narratives, they're actually in bed with the Chinese Communist Party.
There's been a, frankly, a decades-long, until now, covert operation conducted through the China-United States Exchange Foundation to take journalists from virtually every American mainstream media outlet on trips to China, or have them take private dinners in the United States in exchange for, quote, favorable coverage.
And that is a direct quote from these Foreign Agent Registration Act filings that are housed at the Department of Justice.
You can see from the Western lobbying firms that this Chinese Communist Party-linked group retained to carry out these missions to get this, quote, favorable coverage.
And we published a list of the names of the journalists who were taking these trips.
You have everybody from outlets including Vox, the founders of that outlet actually, the two of them, to CNN, to the New York Times, to the Associated Press, to the Hill, to the Washington Post.
You can go to the article and you can see the list of over a dozen names of people who've taken these trips.
And I tracked the kind of narratives that these people were spreading In the mainstream media on their social media accounts with regards to China since the time that they took these trips and what's really interesting is that you see these people these are the people who are spearheading opposition to President Trump's trade war.
These are the people who've been criticizing people who've been insisting that COVID-19 came from a lab.
These are people who've written op-eds entitled and this is a direct quote China bashing is for losers.
And these are the same people, interestingly enough, I think the buried lead of this whole story, which I'm definitely going to pursue further, is that an individual by the name of Steve Clemens, who actually was at the time an editor for The Atlantic, he was on the press pool of Joe Biden's 2013 trip to China.
Now, you might remember that that's the trip.
That Hunter Biden got his $1.5 billion deal with the Chinese government-linked, you know, BHR partner scheme.
And what's interesting is that this Atlantic journalist was actually given a shout-out by none other than Joe Biden as, quote, a very important man and someone that Joe Biden told the Chinese Communist Party official he was with at the time that he should, quote, really want to speak to.
So this isn't just a story of compromise of our journalist class, but it's also an interesting tale when you understand maybe why certain journalists are so soft, not only on the Chinese Communist Party, but the Biden family's ties to it.
This really is kind of an extensive influence and compromise orbit that we've uncovered at the National Pulse.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to have you back on because I want to get that story up and I don't know if we can do it later this morning or today.
This is why the National Pulse is so important.
The investigative reporting, Raheem, you guys do over there is quite frankly blockbuster.
This is a blockbuster story.
Okay, because this shows you the information war, and the CCP are experts in this.
They understand this.
They understand what they have to do is compromise, whether it's the Biden family or, you know, and Miles Grohl lays it all out.
They either do it by honeypotting, they do it by either sex, they do it by information, they find and blackmail people, or they do it with money.
Right?
And here you see a thing, so I just want to go through, you've got two minutes, Natalie, just go through again, the thesis, you've identified, what, a couple of dozen reporters of major newspapers, outlets, guys like Ezra Klein, etc., Vox, you've got that, you give the dates of when they do the trips and when they do these associations with the Chinese Communist Party, and then you've tracked their pro-CCP narrative since then?
natalie winters
Yeah, I think I'll read the direct quote from this Foreign Agent Registration Act filing to really give you an idea because it's not National Pulse conspiracy that these people were essentially compelled to give quote favorable coverage to China.
So this is from the lobbying firm that was retained by the China United States Exchange Foundation outlining this program.
It goes, In order to develop favorable coverage in key national media, BLJ, which is the lobbying firm, will continue to organize and staff familiarization trips to China.
This includes recruiting top journalists to travel to China, selected for effectiveness and opportunities for favorable coverage.
steve bannon
Yeah, and by the way, the FARRA Act, just to make sure people understand, that's a law you have to do, if you're working basically at the, taking money and working for a foreign government, you have to register.
So the guys working for them, the lobbyists helping to organize this, understood they were foreign agents, they did the legal thing, they registered.
But they listed what they were doing as agents for a foreign government to what is... I love the word recruit.
Natalie, we're going to jump to Michael and Dale next.
I want to bring you back.
What's your social media handle that people can follow and how they get to National Pulse?
natalie winters
Natalie G. Winters on Twitter and you can go to the nationalpulse.com support to help fund these investigations.
steve bannon
Natalie, thank you so much.
Thank you for all the work you do on Rahim's podcast to make it watchable.
Appreciate it.
natalie winters
Thank you.
raheem kassam
It'd be great if she ever showed up for the podcast, that'd be nice.
steve bannon
Raheem, I gotta tell you, the work, and I wanna get into the fact, as soon as Mike Lindell, we found out that Mike Lindell was carpet bombing Alan Duke, guess what?
The national pulse has been on this, on Duke, what, over a year?
raheem kassam
About a year.
It'll be a year next month.
steve bannon
We're gonna make Alan Duke famous next, when Mike Lindell, the one and the only, joins us, before he joins Jimmy Kimmel, in the War Room.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
OK, there is a method in his madness.
OK, we're going to bring in a great American patriot, Mike Lindell.
And Mike, I want to bring you in, but I got to go to Rahim.
There's been a five hour Kind of running information warfare gun battle going on for five hours on Frank with the one and only Mike Lindell going off on it and a very notorious guy.
And it takes a Mike Lindell really to kind of do this.
A guy named Alan Duke who runs a thing called Lead Story, I think.
He's a quote-unquote fact checker, right?
He's a fact checker.
Supposed to be totally nonpartisan fact checker.
And there's been an epic It's an epic fight between Mike Lindell and the makers of the film Absolute Interference on his new social media platform.
We're gonna get into all the details, the good, the bad, the problems they're having, the attacks, the shortcomings, and all the strains.
But I gotta get to this Alan Duke story.
Raheem, tell the audience before I bring in Mike, who is Alan Duke and why is he important and why would he be a guy that a Mike Lindell would go after for five hours?
raheem kassam
Well, Alan Duke is a 20-year-long veteran entertainment reporter for CNN and he recently, just before the 2016 election, set up this group called Lead Stories.
Lead Stories, funnily enough, Is used as a fact-checker by Facebook, but it's actually not a US-based operation.
It's actually split between the United States and Belgium.
We reported on Leeds Stories last June, I believe it was, where we actually went through who they're staffed by, who is the money behind Leeds Stories, who's the technology behind Leeds Stories, and what kind of stories do they focus on.
And we came across some pretty interesting information.
A quarter of its staff, including its chairman and co-founder, are recurring donors to Democrats, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama.
No donations ever across all of the staff were ever made to Republican candidates.
At least 50% of Lead Story's staff have actually come from CNN itself.
It seems to be kind of a splinter, yeah, it's a splinter group off CNN that masquerades as a fact-checking organization.
Now, the reason we came across them is that they tried to fact-check one of our stories that we did last year on Black Lives Matter and how Black Lives Matter was using ActBlue for the donations and nobody was really sure where the money was going.
Now, of course, we know where the money was going.
It was going to these mansions.
Yeah, real estate empire.
So we were right to raise the questions over this, but Lee's stories and Alan Juke got particularly defensive about all of this at the time, and that's how we came across them.
Subsequent investigations of ours have found really interesting stories about the chairman of the organization, a chap called Perry Saunders, and his political donations.
Again, Hillary for America, Obama for America, Obama Victory Fund.
And then finally, it was announced very recently, or at least more recently, That Lead Stories is now working as an exclusive partner of TikTok, which is of course the Chinese Communist Party's way into yours and your kids' cell phones.
So Lead Stories in the round appears to be a CNN splinter group that's happy to work with the Chinese Communist Party.
No wonder they don't like Mike Lindell.
steve bannon
No, here's the thing, I know from your reporting and investigation, Alan Duke does not like his photo up, he does not like identification, so we're going to make sure in this entire half hour we're going to put his photo up non-stop and want everybody to get it emblazoned in their memory, since he doesn't like that, right?
We're going to give him a lead story, his photo, okay?
I want to bring in now Mike Lindell.
Mike, so tell me about, before we get to all the other aspects of Frank and the launch and the thing, What did Alan Duke do, and why did you go off?
Because, brother, you went off, and I want to hear it again, because we couldn't pull the live.
You were all over Alan Duke, sir.
Why?
mike lindell
Well, I was just ready to leave.
We were filming live.
We filmed live for over 48 hours, and we had different stuff on Frank.
and the live broadcast, it was a very special day for this country.
We were launching absolute interference to them, to everybody to share it far and wide.
We worked hard on this, I put millions of dollars into it.
I hired the best experts in the world to validate all the evidence I have so we can save our country.
Alan Duke, Lead Stories, that actually put a sign over Facebook for absolute proof that said contains porn and nudity.
He did that to me before.
He did all this article, did this whole article saying that everything was false.
and absolute interference.
I don't know how he, I worked on it for five weeks with these experts.
They worked on all this and it took them five weeks of completely validating everything.
And here I go, I'm sitting there reading as I'm leaving about 10 o'clock at night, San Diego time, and I was just horrified.
He discredited a cyber, the cyber expert, the white hat hacker I brought in from the government that works for the government and with all these credentials and he minimized it.
Full of lies.
I went on there, Steve, I talked for five hours and went line by line discrediting Alan Duke and then going and tying him back to China and all the horrific things that he's done to our country.
We put his phone number up.
We put his company up.
Yeah, I hope he got a million calls.
steve bannon
Yeah, maybe that's for Frank.
Maybe he won't do the phone number we got the picture of.
raheem kassam
What's really interesting is I had a phone conversation with Alan Duke after we had our tit-for-tat last year, and it was a long conversation.
It was one of the most bizarre conversations I've ever had in my life, where it goes right to what Mike's saying.
He was making claims at me down the phone about our reporting and when I challenged him on them and said, you know, have you even looked into this?
Have you even?
His response was, you know, I don't need to.
I know it's fake.
I know it's false.
I know what you people do and I don't, I don't have to look into these things.
You know, this is the Facebook fact checker who's saying, I don't need to check the facts.
I already know what I, what I think is true and what I don't think is true.
And then they, and then what they, and this is incredibly damaging.
Because what they do is they put a filter in front of your Facebook post.
Often it will stop somebody being able to actually get to the story and make a grown-up decision for themselves because we cite everything, we link everything.
You know, that's something that you taught me a long time ago.
Everything must be hyperlinked.
Everything must have a source.
And Alan Duke, in his great wisdom, when I challenged him on it, he didn't say, okay, I'll take a look at the evidence.
He went back and said something really creepy.
You know what he said?
He said, say hello to Natalie Winters for me.
You know, we're kind of neighbors.
mike lindell
Wow.
steve bannon
Creepy guy.
Okay, what did he say specifically about absolute interference that triggered you?
What was it that he said?
You're saying he's wrong and you're right.
mike lindell
What's the facts?
Here's what he said.
We showed 19 cyber attacks from China to our country.
We had the white hat hacker on that I paid a lot of money This is a third party, Steve.
This guy still does stuff for, that's what he does for the government.
If you call, if you have a problem, you call him and these other guys.
He put in there that the guy I hired, this expert, that not only was he wrong, but also this physicist, Dr. Frank, that was up for a Nobel Medical Prize, or I mean a Nobel Prize, I guess not medical, the Nobel Prize.
And anyway, what he said was, he goes, he goes, this is impossible.
We looked into it and an attack on Clay.
It was some County.
There's no way you could have flipped that many votes.
Cause not, not many people, not that many people live in the County, but here's what the mistake he made.
And Dr. Frank called him out on it.
The mistake he made actually, Dr. Frank was nice to him.
steve bannon
He said, this is where the prison, this is where the prison is.
The one that's got the prison.
mike lindell
No, no, no, no, no.
He called him out.
This is the other 19 attacks.
This is brand new stuff.
And anyway, when the attack came in, and the flip was made, that point of flip is not just the county, Alan, it go it went through the whole state.
And that's where he's wrong.
The white hat hacker put in there, this was flipped just because it came in here.
I told, I told Alan, I mean, I said, it can go statewide.
And that's what this did.
We had all the documentation there.
A hundred percent.
I was just so upset because of what you're saying there with the Facebook, you block it.
And then people won't read it.
The evidence that needs to get to our country to help her and save our country.
steve bannon
But since he had just seen it, it had just come out, what did he base his criticisms on?
Back to Regine's point.
When he said that this guy's wrong, and you said, hey, it's a point of attack.
Mike, you've been up for 48 hours, right?
You did get some sleep?
I just want to make sure we're talking about that.
I got very little sleep.
Here's what I noticed that's the same by the way.
It's the same suit It's the same suit think that we've been watching on the live broadcast my producers just bring out just a side note But what what how did he how did he criticize you in detail to say it was wrong?
How did he back that up?
mike lindell
He did he did we went we went line by line for you can watch it We're gonna post it on Frank.
We're gonna post it by every day.
We're gonna run this I went for five hours I went line by line Line by line.
And one of the things he debunked, he said, this has been debunked because William Barr said this and said this.
And I said, Ellen, William Barr said this stuff in November and December.
My evidence I have, we didn't get it until January 9th.
So he's saying something that people said back then.
William Barr didn't see this, so William Barr wouldn't have known about it.
So he debunked it because William Barr said something.
Then he debunked it because he said his fact-checkers from Belgium and himself had already checked into this and it was the same stuff.
Well, they'll say, what did he put over it last time on Facebook?
He said it contained pornography and nudity.
So he did that for people not to see it last time.
And last time, it was a whole different thing that he was talking about.
So he debunked stuff.
He did it all in about, I think he had to do it in about 10 minutes, as long as it took him to type it up.
steve bannon
Okay, a couple things.
Rahim, could you please put those two stories up in the live chat, and we'll put up on the War Room site also the stories from National Pulse to set the frame for this.
Mike, a question.
If we could get Alan Dukes on here, on the War Room, would you be open to a debate, let him go and lay his information out, and you would come back with your counter-information about absolute interference?
Would you be open to that?
mike lindell
Absolutely, because what I did, I gave him 15 minutes to come on Frank last night, and I texted him, and he did not respond.
And he said, and he, uh, some of the stuff he said that he, the reason he debunked Dr. Frank is he said he couldn't reach, he reached out to him and he couldn't get ahold of him.
Dr. Frank has been working around the clock trying to save this country to bring you every single state of evidence.
But if you get them on Steve, I will do it because last night I did it for the American people for five hours for five hours.
I did it last night.
And, uh, and Alan, cause there's no idea.
steve bannon
We're going to get some clips and play that because it is, as only you can do, it was unique.
You were on a roll.
Real quickly, we're going to keep you over this commercial break.
Are the rumors true?
Are you actually going to do Jimmy Kimmel?
Are you going to go out to Hollywood and do Jimmy Kimmel next week?
mike lindell
Yes, next Wednesday.
I'm looking forward to it.
Jimmy and I went back and forth.
I went up on Jimmy for about, I don't know, a couple, two, three days, and he had been doing stuff, skits on me on the show, and he called up, he invited me on National TV, I said I'll bring pillows for his audience, and we're doing it.
It's going to be exciting.
steve bannon
Okay, I want to make sure we secure the film rights to the life of Mike Lindell before he goes.
I don't want you to get up to Hollywood and go Hollywood on me.
The agents will be all over you.
Okay, we're taking a short commercial break.
We're going to come back.
When we come back, we're going to ask Rahim and Mike Lindell.
Mike, I think you threw out that you said that Alan Duke was somehow associated with the Chinese Communist Party.
We're going to get to all that.
Short commercial break.
The one and only Mike Lindell, American patriot.
He launched a social media site.
Had tremendous viewership, a few hiccups in how it was launched, attacks by the CCP and others.
We'll get to all that.
Of course, Rahim Ghassan, my wingman and the founder, publisher, editor-in-chief of the top investigative, I guess, site out there, The National Pulse.
All next in The War Room.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham.
steve bannon
Okay, we've got the great Mike Lindell.
Mike, you called this guy, you called Alan Duke, you called him out, but you were all over him last night.
Correct me if I'm wrong, because it was five hours.
unidentified
Did you say he was associated with the CCP, he's taking money from the CCP?
steve bannon
What did you say about him, and how do you back that up with any details or any evidence?
mike lindell
Well, as I was on there, we went line by line and we had the experts.
We actually had everything line by line of absolute interference that he debunked in about 20 minutes when it worked hard for us.
You know, this is debunked because Alan Duke said it.
This is debunked because I'm Alan Duke, the smartest man in America.
He's smarter than this guy.
That this physicist says, I'm Alan Duke, I'm smarter than a guy that works for our government to protect our country.
I'm Alan Duke because I can put stuff on Facebook and block you and ruin your business.
That's what he did to a lot of my friends, ruin their businesses.
So what we did then, we pulled out an article on him from the Epoch Times.
The Epoch Times had done a full article.
I was ready to get off air.
It was about three hours into it.
And here comes, um, um, Brandon comes up.
He says, he goes, check this out.
And I looked, the headline says, um, Facebook fat or fact checkers are tied to the CCP.
And I scrolled down, I said, I wonder if that's the lead stories.
Well, of course it is.
The first line was, lead stories does this.
We went all the way down, line by line.
Sure enough, his partner over in Belgium, where it started there, it tracks him back.
The CCP pays him.
I mean, this stuff ties back.
He's a communist.
We got a communist telling us in our country that he's the smartest guy.
And Alan Duke will decide what's good for you.
The American people, something so critical to our country.
We had just got done talking all day how we were attacked by China and the CCP just got done all day doing this.
And here we find out Alan Duke, who's making these calls, is with the CCP.
I'm accused of being with the CCP.
You tie this back, you can't explain it any other way.
He gets paid by them.
You tie it back.
He worked at one time with CNN.
All you got to do is read the article.
It's all public knowledge.
Everything's public knowledge.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to put the Epoch Times up and the two stories from National Pulse.
Rahim Ghassan, Natalie Winters just broke this huge story with everything from Fox, the New York Times, you got all these reporters, you got a lobbyist who's a foreign agent saying he's got to recruit these guys to like tell China the CCP story.
You're seeing it.
This is all inextricably linked, ladies and gentlemen.
No conspiracies, but there's no coincidences, okay?
And now you're getting the hard reporting of Epoch Times, the greatest broadsheet in our nation.
Also, you're getting the great reporting from Natalie Winner, Brahim Kassam, and the great team over at National Pulse.
mike lindell
By the way, Steve, as we read the article, it kind of connects the dots.
It's a great article.
You've got to get this put up.
It connects the dots.
It connects it all the way to George Soros.
So you have the Chinese, you have George Soros, you have the CNN, all these things, but it all comes down to this.
One person in this country, Alan Duke, decides for the American people whether the absolute interference The evidence that says it's going to change or get back our country and get this pulled down at the Supreme Court.
Alan Duke decided, everybody, that you shouldn't see it.
Alan Duke decided that you shouldn't see it because, you know what, he'll probably put a sign over it like he did absolute proof.
Contains pornography and nudity.
unidentified
Shame on you, Alan Duke.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to make Alan Duke famous.
We understand he doesn't like his photo being shown, so obviously we've got to show his photo.
Sorry you don't like it.
You're a public figure, dude.
You're ripping on other people.
But we're offering Alan Duke, we're going to reach out to him.
We'll give him as much time as he wants on the war room to lay out his case.
raheem kassam
He looks like a Bond villain.
steve bannon
Yeah, to make his case for our podcast audience, we've got the picture of Alan Duke up.
Okay, real quickly, Mike, I know you're pressed for time, and you've been up for like 72 hours, including a five-hour rift on Alan Duke.
The site is clearly getting massive traffic.
You've been saying that people have had problems getting in and they haven't seen the social media, the Twitter part of it.
Just we've got a couple minutes here.
Explain where do you stand right now with Frank?
Is this just a beta site test right now?
And because they're seeing the video, but it's kind of a live stream.
They're not seeing the social media part of it.
Where do you stand with this?
mike lindell
There's three parts of Frank's and Frank's speech.com.
And by the way, at FrankSpeech.com, if you go to Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuck, they have completely blacklisted it.
You have to punch it in by hand.
It's the kind of tax we're getting.
This is not on our site.
This is the search engines Yahoo, Bing, and DuckDuck.
If you search it, you cannot get us.
They blackball us now.
steve bannon
Hold it.
Hang on.
Slow down.
That's huge news.
You're saying that Yahoo, Bing, and DuckDuckGo have blackballed Frank's speech already?
mike lindell
Yes, they have.
You cannot Google it.
You'll come up with all these sites.
They're not my site, everybody.
You need to put in, type it in, frankspeech.com, and you do that.
Google hasn't done it yet.
They have the power to do anything.
They do not want this word out, which brings up Steve, my most important part right now of Frank's speech is the broadcast part, the media broadcast part.
That went off without a hitch.
It never broke once.
222 million people, unique visitors came to Frank.
Over 1.5 billion touches, whatever they call there.
But I will say this too.
We are going to.
That's my most important thing.
As you see, we need to get this evidence out.
I'm live streaming.
We're going to keep that going every day.
Then we're going to open up.
All the influencers are putting content up.
So we're going to have 100 little mini Franks, mini mics going out to the country, to the world.
Then I'm going to turn on the public to come in again and go around and We're doing this in stages now because of these attacks because of and I want to get the my biggest thing is to get right now.
My phone's getting attacked.
I mean, this is what they do and they bought they've tried every other angle outside of Frank because they could not break the live stream and they didn't want to get this word out.
Can you imagine Steve the power they have that they take away your search engine?
So it's like let's just make Micah disappear.
Let's make, but they can't.
It's too late to close the gate.
The cows are out of the barn.
People can type in stuff directly and the public can just be patient.
I'm going to put notices up every day.
I'm going to be on every day now.
I'm coming out live at least part of every day going forward because the people want to know.
I want them to just be patient and it's good.
This is amazing everybody.
It was a great launch.
steve bannon
Mike, we'll come back to you.
Thank you for joining us.
We've got to take a commercial break.
Mike Lindell, thank you so much.
We're going to be pushing and make sure people understand how to get on a Frank and what to anticipate.
And we're going to get into the Alan Duke of it all with Raheem Ghassan, team of the Nashville Bulls.
Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, and also the founder of Frank's Speech.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate you joining us in the War Room.
mike lindell
Yep, thank you.
steve bannon
Be back in a moment.
