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, and the worst happens... War Room.

Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, closing in on 50 million downloads on the podcast.
Boy, a little sharp there.
Maybe just kind of roll it down.
Let that just kind of fade out next time.
You're in the War Room, Wednesday, 28 April, Year of Our Lord 2021.
So much happening right now that we're jammed.
We're going to have a couple of congressmen in this afternoon, but I guess they're up voting, running around.
We're going to try to rebook that.
Very tough during the day when we book these congressmen.
They get votes going on all the time.
Of course, a lot of it's remote.
A lot of work going on tonight.
Biden drops another dime, another $1.9 trillion.
Hey, just another.
Just another 1.9 trillion.
We're going to have John Tamney talking about modern monetary theory tomorrow morning on the show.
Raheem Jassam in the War Room with me, wherever you are.
John, Frederick Radio Network, Real America's Voice.
raheem kassam
I've also got a leper.
steve bannon
No, these kids come back, they've never had pollen before in their life.
They're dying.
They've never seen this before.
unidentified
D.C.
steve bannon
definitely has pollen.
But we're not going to go to D.C.
We're here.
We're going to go to Arizona.
We're going to talk to Mark Fincherman in a second.
Let's start with Boris.
Boris, epic win for you guys today.
Walk us through it.
boris epshteyn
Win.
Huge win.
We were just on this morning.
You and I were talking about this and discussing in depth everything that was going on in Arizona.
That hearing, the country was glued.
To its computer screens.
Glued to its TV screens, if they've got streaming on there, at this hearing.
And here's the bottom line, MAGA patriots.
Here's the bottom line.
TRO, Temporary Restraining Order, pause, denied.
Denied.
Democrats, denied.
Audit continues.
The audit moves forward.
This audit, which is All about election integrity.
All about getting to the bottom of what actually happened in 2020.
It moves forward.
The judge read the Democrats to the Right Act.
Said that the record does not support a temporary restraining order.
That the rules and regulations and laws don't support a TRO.
Pretty much said, Democrats, you ain't gotta go home, but you gotta get the you-know-what outta here.
And that is where the Democrats are going.
This audit is continuing as we speak.
Stepping up to 24 hours.
You saw, and this is the signal not noise I was talking about this morning.
You saw that we are going to a new attorney in Arizona in terms of the auditors are going to a new attorney.
And it's going to be a good attorney.
An attorney whose firm got us some very important wins in December of 2020.
Jack Willinchick and his firm.
Very, very strong.
That is what's happening.
This order rolls on in a train, as we talked about this morning.
It's going from Arizona to Georgia to Pennsylvania to Michigan.
So on and so forth.
I'm so excited about it.
I don't even have time to clean up my kids' toys behind me, okay?
I've been glued to this screen all day long.
That's all I've been working on.
And I'm so excited to tell the MAGA brain trust, the MAGA heartbeat, that is the War Room posse, the War Room audience, listeners and viewers, the Democrats were denied today in open court.
They went home crying.
The audit continues.
steve bannon
This is what I want to make sure you see, and by the way, jump in here Racine, when you're watching MSNBC, reading the New York Times, when you're seeing this headline, conspiracy theorists cavort in messy recount in Arizona.
When you see that type of propaganda, when you see MSNBC, when you see Nicole Wallace and Rachel Maddow, you see all of them.
unidentified
and it's all baseless baseless baseless baseless baseless okay just checking something real quick hey hey oh they say it's still news i just checking the they still claim it's news all the news but they put cavort cavort it was one of the most editorialized ways of it come on I cavort all the time.
raheem kassam
But it's not news copy.
steve bannon
That's normally Raheem's lunches down at Morton's.
That's cavorting.
He and Nigel cavort down at Morton's.
No.
When you see baseless, baseless, baseless, baseless, baseless on CNN, remember, we're evidence-based, we're data-based, we're science-based, and you know who agrees with that, ladies and gentlemen, and agrees with you?
MAGA Posse.
A superior court judge in Arizona, because that was a full beatdown today.
TRO denied, right?
And he went through chapter and verse.
It was so epic, Boris.
Incredible.
Boris, what else?
Where do we go from here?
boris epshteyn
Here's where we go.
This TRO was denied.
Now there's going to be a meeting between the lawyers To allow Hobson, the Secretary of State, inspection?
Sure, go ahead and inspect.
Have all the inspection you want, because we know, we've seen, as you put up the live shot there, that this audit, this process is going within full rules of regulation.
It is strong.
It is determined.
It is secure.
Look at the fencing there.
Look at the color coding.
It is obvious that the right thing is being done, and that's why the Democrats are fighting so hard against it.
So you're gonna have that happen?
The conference between the lawyers, the judge said, you know what, don't even put a motion in front of me about that, just figure it out, figure it out.
So the lawyers are gonna figure out an inspection for Kate Hopson, the Secretary of State.
And then in terms of the processes becoming public, you know, the processes for Cyber Ninjas were put forth under a seal.
The Democrats appealed that, and the judge said, well, you know, you gotta get rid of the seal, But in terms of the 7-inches, the Otters, they can appeal the fact that...
If they wanted to be sealed.
I actually say, let's go transparent.
Let's put forward the processes.
steve bannon
Big time.
boris epshteyn
We got nothing to hide.
We are the Republicans.
We're on the right side of history.
Put it up there.
Put it on a public website.
Let's go.
Let's rock and roll.
We are confident in this audit.
steve bannon
By the way, Hobbs is going to go out, right?
She's Secretary of State who allowed all this fiasco to happen.
She's going to be out in the media.
She's on MSNBC and CNN all the time with information warfare.
Rachel Maddow last night, right?
Rachel Maddow.
But here's the bottom line.
The bottom line, and this is for all the social media oligarchs that took all this stuff down.
If you said the F word, you got immediately blown up.
All this stuff about baseless.
A superior court judge in the state of Arizona after reviewing the evidence It's been a couple hours, no appeal so far on the TRO, which means that it is likely the Democrats are not going to continue.
boris epshteyn
Now, they may, but it appears the Democrats are not going to continue to try to pause this.
I'm going to be honest.
This morning when you asked me, I said, you know what?
You could see a TRO.
You could see a pause.
This was effectively a 50-50, and if it's not 80-20, you know, you kind of expect it to go the other way.
But when the judge today, A, had the lawyer withdraw, the previous attorney, thanks for your service.
Okay, Mr. Kolodin, see you later, okay?
We've got the new lawyer, Jack Willinchick and his team.
Jordan Wolf, very strong, very good litigation.
steve bannon
Willinchick's been on this, sir.
Willinchick's been on this from the beginning.
Good call there.
Good call.
boris epshteyn
No doubt there.
There's somebody who you may know.
steve bannon
Save a pair of hands.
boris epshteyn
Somebody who you may know who may have recommended him, okay?
Let's just put it that way.
Now that we have him as our attorney there, Corey Langhofer's doing a good job for the Senate, and this judge, he looked at the briefs, he studied the information, and the Democrats got smacked.
And I'll tell you this, to the MAGA Patriots, think back to November 3rd, think back to all the lawsuits.
The Supreme Court is throwing out the Texas lawsuit on nonsense, on procedural nonsense, lack of standing in original jurisdiction, literally unheard of.
If one state's suing another one, there's your original jurisdiction, there's standing, Think back to all the time the judicial branch did not do the right thing, and now appreciate this moment.
We do not know what's going to come tomorrow.
But what we do know now is the judiciary branch in the state of Arizona did the right thing.
They denied a stop to this audit.
And this audit is moving forward, and if you saw what happened in Cobb County, Georgia today, when MAGA Patriots refused to be muted, refused literally to be silenced, you know where it's going next.
And guess what?
So does Gabriel Sterling, and so does Raffensperger.
steve bannon
Right.
One falls, they all fall.
Okay, Boris, what's the social media?
How do people follow you during the day?
boris epshteyn
I'm fired up.
At Boris Epstein on Twitter.
Boris underscore Epstein.
Boris underscore EPSHTEYN.
And Steve, I gotta commend you.
For the Tony Blair haircut, you wear it better, okay?
You're wearing it better than Tony Blair.
unidentified
Do you think Blair copied you?
steve bannon
Sure he copied me.
Boris, thank you very much.
What a heck of a way to get that picture.
Thank you so much, sir.
Okay, let's bring in now Mark Finch.
Mark Finch has been on top of this.
He's a representative from Southern Arizona.
He's actually in the Republican primary to run for Secretary of State.
Mark, contextualize this.
What happened in Arizona today?
How big a deal is this?
mark finchem
Make it happen.
So today, I was really surprised, but I shouldn't have been surprised.
The judge was very consistent in the position that, frankly, the judiciary has been taking.
And that is, this is a legislative matter.
The Senate is well within its right to manage the audit process, to call for an audit, to scrutinize the election.
That is legislative oversight.
And that is something that the judge came in behind and said, look, There's a difference between the judiciary and the executive and the legislative branches.
And he preserved completely the legislative branch's authority.
He used the word repeatedly.
This is un... Oh shoot, what's the word that he used?
I'm sorry, I just had a moment.
Unpersuasive.
Repeatedly said, your argument is unpersuasive.
There is no reason at this point For us to have a TRO, a Temporary Restraining Order.
And now it's moving forward.
So I'm very excited about this.
What this means, even though the Democrats, even though Steve Gallardo and Katie Hobbs threw in with the concept that the people don't deserve to know what actually happened in the process of their election.
What these people don't seem to grasp, it's not their election.
This election belongs to the people.
And the people reserve, in their franchise, they reserve the right to scrutiny.
And I think that if you read between the lines today of what the judge had to say...
That's exactly what he said.
unidentified
The people have a right to speak.
steve bannon
I want to make sure our audience understands something, too.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I mean, these legislators, particularly in the Senate, these are all not fire-breathing Trump supporters.
These are not MAGA.
You've got a number of moderates and a number of, quite frankly, people that are not that thrilled with President Trump, and some are not that crazy about the Trump movement.
So you've had a real coming together in the legislature, of which the judge backed up today.
Is that correct?
mark finchem
That's a real good call out.
And thanks for bringing that point up.
This is not about Trump.
And here's where I think the left is freaking out.
What they're seeing is our ability right now to come together and to build a standard.
Because this has never been done before.
I think you called that out in a couple of other shows.
This has never been done before.
So there is no standard.
Some people would say we're building it as we go.
That's right.
And it's a response.
This is a classic Six Sigma work.
We're building the response based upon what is being found.
There was a certain work product that they wanted to follow in a workflow.
We get it.
The next thing you know, it's like, well, what do we do with this?
What do we do with that?
And it's a rapid response.
So as we build this, we are creating a standard.
Now, some people would say it's not perfect.
I'm sure it's not going to be perfect.
But is it good?
I'm sure it's going to be good.
steve bannon
But let's talk about the perfection, by the way.
This is a coming together.
That's the important thing.
This is uniting people.
I want to talk about, I think the judge said today that some of the aspects that maybe haven't been fully vetted have to be opened and reviewed, some of the processes and procedures.
I would agree.
I think that everything ought to be out there.
Everything ought to be laid on the table, and people should see it now.
If they've got opinions about it, we ought to take those opinions and see if it falls underneath Arizona law.
What's going to happen in that part of it?
I think the procedures and processes are going to be the next thing they actually talk about.
mark finchem
Well, that was one of the things that was addressed in this TRO.
They wanted to unseal that.
They wanted to see these.
I think for operational security, to make sure that people who are doing the work are not identified and harassed by the left, which is something they do so well, Mayor Giuliani.
The things that we're seeing right now, I think, ought to give people pause.
This is not about Donald Trump.
This is about the election and was there or was there not impropriety?
Can you prove or disprove that there was a problem?
I would be one of the top people on the planet thrilled to find out that there was no impropriety.
But we've already seen enough to know that there was.
Okay.
Knowing that, understanding that, understanding how it happened is the only pathway we have to taking corrective action through public policy.
And that is the approach that the Senate is taking.
steve bannon
Okay, hang on a second.
Just hold right there.
We've got to take a short commercial break.
We want to come right back to you, Mark Fincham in Arizona.
We've got Doug Wardlow up in Minnesota running against Ellison.
Ellison said today he wants the International Criminal Court to review the American justice system all next in The War Room.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
When there's no more, let's take down the CCB!
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.
We're disturbed by what happened here today, by the continued politicization of the Justice Department.
This is disgusting.
This is absolutely absurd, and it's the continued politicization of the Justice Department that we have seen.
And it has to stop.
If this can happen to the former president's lawyer, this can happen to any American.
Enough is enough.
The only piece of evidence that they did not take up there today was the only piece of incriminating evidence that is in there.
And it does not belong to my father.
It belongs to the current President's son.
That's all I have to say.
Any questions, you can refer to his lawyer.
All I will say is this.
To all Americans out there, Our Justice Department should be independent of politics.
Enough is enough, ladies and gentlemen.
We cannot stand for this anymore.
And again, if this can happen to the President's lawyer, this can happen to any one of us.
Thank you.
I'll refer to my father's lawyer for further questions and statements.
You guys have a nice day.
steve bannon
Wow, Andrew Giuliani throwing down hard.
You know, they're talking about Andrew Giuliani running for governor, right?
Lee Zeldin's already announced it.
Talk about Andrew Giuliani.
A young man throwing down hard in defense of his father brought up the best point of the whole thing.
The one thing the FBI didn't take, Rahim Ghassan, is the hard drive from hell.
Right.
Oh, that's right.
Chris Wray and these guys and Barr and these guys already had one in December of 19.
If that had happened, Joe Biden would not have.
Bernie Sanders would have been, or Elizabeth Warren would have been the nominee, not Joe Biden.
OK, let's finish with Mark Finch.
I'm going to come back.
I know Rahim's got a lot of thoughts about this, about the Giuliani situation.
I want to make sure the live chat understands.
Everybody's got Rudy's back on this thing.
Okay.
Although, hey, just saying, I was never a Ukraine guy, right?
Ukraine's a sideshow to a sideshow.
Stick with the CCP.
What happened in India?
You saw today on The Drudge, if you go up there, they've got a link from some study that shows, guess what?
Just randomly, the CCP virus actually changes your DNA.
For the long haulers, right?
You saw that study?
Changes your DNA.
Hmm.
I guess that came from a bat cave down the Laotian border, didn't it, Dr. Fauci?
Coming for you, Dr. Fauci.
You better have your facts, you better have your evidence, because the walls are closing in.
All we are science-based, evidence-based, database, brother.
But now it's time you got to put up or shut up, okay?
I want to go back to Mark Fincher.
Mark, you just dropped a bombshell there.
I just want to make sure we're very clear.
We've got to be very, very, very precise in our language.
When you said, hey, we've already seen enough to know, that is you That is you talking about what happened between November 3rd and when this thing got started.
It's not about what's going on in the room right there.
That's totally secure.
People are doing it.
They're not reporting back up to guys like you.
Correct?
mark finchem
That's absolutely correct, Steve.
That's absolutely correct.
From November 30th up to the point where the audit was launched, that's that segment of time that I'm talking about.
As far as anything that's an outcome of what they're doing right now, it is absolute radio silence.
And it will be.
You will not see anything in the media.
And that's one of the things that's driving the media nuts, is we've got an operational security blackout in order to give the audit team the time necessary to prepare a proper audit report.
Now, if we didn't do that, the left would go absolutely nuts because they would say, oh, you don't have security and you're leaking information out.
I think it's very important that we do explain that from November 30th up to the beginning of the audit, that's the segment of time I'm talking about.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to have a discussion tomorrow morning about the May 14th deadline, and I hear they're working 20-hour days.
Is that correct, Mark Fincham?
They've extended the time that they're doing the count.
not 24 hours a day yet, but 20-hour days.
mark finchem
They're talking about spinning up additional resources.
They can meet that.
I think it's May 13th.
They've actually got to be out of the building by the 14th.
So they've got a hard stop.
They know they're defining what the run rate is right now.
So they're going to be able to match personnel and process so that they can get all that done on schedule.
So they're moving in that direction.
steve bannon
Okay.
Mark, give your social media handles.
I know everybody's watching this very intensely, and we know the left is all over this.
So what's your social media handles?
How do people follow you?
mark finchem
Well, you can find me out on gab.com at AZHoneyBadger.
You can find me on Parler and on Telegram at Mark Fincham.
And then if you want to get a copy of my journal, which I'm going to start putting it out, I think midweek as well, because so much is happening.
You can send an email to me at markfincham at me.com and just put journal.
In the subject line, and then if folks want to help me out as Secretary of State, that is VoteFincham.com.
Thank you very much for your time, Steve.
steve bannon
Okay, no, Mark.
Thank you.
I know you're down there in the legislature making time for us.
Thank you so much.
It's an international story.
Thank you, sir.
I want to turn now to Doug Wardlow, talk about another story that's having a national implication.
Do we have Doug Wardlow?
Okay, let's go to, we have Ben?
Can we go to the boardroom, Ben Burquam?
We'll just play, I'm just taking random shots here.
Before we get somebody up, just tell me who we're going to get.
Is that Ben?
Ben!
How you doing?
Ben, so tell us, Ben Burquam, the intrepid Real America's Voice investigative reporter.
Tell us about the rally you had today, sir, how was it?
ben bergquam
It was great, and I don't get to say hi to Raheem too often, but God bless you Raheem, you do awesome work and you put up with Steve, and that's a job in and of itself.
It was an amazing event today.
That is God's work.
As we're doing border work here, that is God's work as well.
But it was incredible.
We had some of the stories you heard yesterday, Angel Mom Agnes Giboney and Laura Wilkerson, but we also had Marie Vega, whose son, Javier, was murdered by illegal aliens.
He was a Border Patrol agent murdered by illegal aliens, as well as Angie Morphine, Border Patrol President.
Brandon Judd was down here.
Some incredible stories.
We also spoke to Ken Paxton.
And, you know, God bless him.
If there were more AGs like Ken Paxton in America, this country would be fixed.
We need warriors.
We need fighters.
We need people that are standing up for this country, for this border.
And it was an incredible opportunity to do that.
And if you missed it, you can go to americasvoice.news.
You can watch it again.
And I need you to do me a favor.
I need you to share it with other people.
America needs to hear these stories.
Well, while the nonsense that's going to be spewed tonight from Congress goes on, America really needs to hear what was done down here, as well as what's happening in Arizona and Georgia and all over the country.
steve bannon
Ben, I gotta ask you, you know, you had a number, I think also at the rally, a number of Hispanic Americans have come in legally and worked for it.
The burden's really on them down in the Rio Grande Valley.
This is a tragedy of what's happening, letting the cartels take over and traffic these unfortunate individuals from Central America and from all over the world and from parts of Mexico.
What's the general attitude down there right now with what they've seen the Biden administration do?
What's the spirit of the people down there in the Rio Grande Valley?
ben bergquam
They're pissed.
I mean, as nicely as I can say it, they're pissed.
I mean, they live this.
They live this on a daily basis.
Their lives are put in danger.
This isn't some hypothetical, theoretical policy.
You've got a bunch of policy wonks sitting in a room talking about some new theory or some new policy.
This is affecting their lives.
They escaped it.
They came here escaping the cartels, and now you have policies by Joe Biden and this regime that are inviting the cartels back into their community.
We have cartels running communities in America today.
I mean, that's the truth of this.
We have slavery.
I was talking to a Border Patrol agent over at the boat ramp earlier.
He couldn't go on camera, and he said, I don't know if you know this, but America and Canada are the top two countries in the world now for slavery, and it's because of this border, and it's because of what the cartels are doing, and it's because of the policies of Joe Biden and the left that pretend to care about you, and they pretend to care about your communities, and they pretend to care about immigrants, and they stomp you under their boots as they walk past you.
They do not care, and the people down here feel it.
They live it.
And they're going to hold them accountable.
That's what I'm hearing.
And that's what has to happen.
You know, they have to get outraged enough to stand up and say, we're not going to take this anymore.
And that's what I'm hearing from them down here.
steve bannon
Ben, real quickly tonight, Joe Biden's going to step up and talk about 1.9 trillion dollars.
He's not the infrastructure plan.
This is a new America Families Plan.
We know in the Hispanic community how central the family is to that.
What do they have to say about thinking about Joe Biden and what Joe Biden thinks about their families?
ben bergquam
Yeah, he clearly doesn't care.
You know, you hear those stories from the angel moms and their children that have been murdered.
It's just a slap in the face.
It's just like they talk about, they use this terminology, it's the woke speak.
They say things like sanctuary when it's actually hell that they bring to you.
They talk about humanitarianism, but it's actually bondage that they bring to you.
It's the same thing that he's talking about here, this new family plan.
All these people want to do, all American citizens want to do is get back to work and get back to life, and you have a government that is stopping that, and they're paying you pittance out of your own pocket.
They're robbing from this pocket and giving you change back and expecting you to be happy about it.
People down here are not happy about it.
They just want to live their lives, love their families, go to work, and make this country a great place.
That's all they want.
They don't want anything else from the government.
steve bannon
Ben, how do people get to see the rally?
How do they follow your other work?
ben bergquam
AmericasVoice.News.
If you missed it, you've got to see it there.
We're putting together a special that's going to air next Saturday with even more footage from legal immigrants that live here.
We're going to be going back down onto the river.
We're going to be getting more footage on the other banks.

I can't forget jeremyherald.com because he sponsored the bus and we're actually going to be...
This is our first bus trip. We're going to be doing another one very soon.
We'll be announcing that where we're heading.
Save America Freedom Tour will continue.
steve bannon
Unbelievable.
Great job.
A Real America Voice investigative reporter, Ben Berquam, down the border.
Raheem, you're an expert in communications.
You're the guy that worked with Niger to get Brexit done.
You see the language, what they're doing with the language.
The American family's playing tonight.
That's all Biden's going to be sitting there talking just a couple hundred yards away.
raheem kassam
Yeah.
I mean, in a lot of ways.
The Biden regime is trying to eat Donald Trump's lunch.
You know, the phraseology from infrastructure to families to the withdrawal in Afghanistan.
You know, all of these things are designed to signal to Trump voters or Trump sympathetic American citizens that, hey, you know, you don't need that guy.
steve bannon
I'm a populist.
raheem kassam
We can do it too.
And plus, you know, Joe's likable at the same time, right?
That's what the signal is from them.
steve bannon
OK.
Let's take a short commercial break.

War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
My name is Joe Kent.
joe kent
I'm an America First Republican running against Congresswoman Butler.
Congresswoman Butler voted for the impeachment of President Trump with the Democrats.
The Pacific Northwest has always been my home.
I grew up camping and hiking throughout the Cascade Mountain Range and exploring the Columbia River Valley Gorge in Boy Scouts.
I was fascinated by the outdoors.
Inspired by the Rangers from the famous Black Hawk Down incident in 1993 in Mogadishu, I enlisted in the Army at age 18 and earned my way into Ranger Regiment and eventually Special Forces.
When our nation was attacked on 9-11, I was exactly where I wanted to be, defending my country.
Throughout 11 combat deployments, I saw the failures of the government establishment, keeping us at war in the Middle East.
I became an America First Republican after watching our government lie about regime change wars and ship our economy overseas.
In the midst of continual combat, I met and married my soulmate, Shannon Kent, a fellow warrior and Special Operator.
Shannon blessed me with two sons and a loving family life.
I planned to continue to serve our nation abroad, fighting our enemies overseas, until the 16th of January 2019, when Shannon was killed fighting ISIS in Manbij, Syria.
I was devastated.
I left my job in the intelligence community and returned home to the Pacific Northwest.
But peace wasn't in store for us.
Shortly after we returned home, I watched Portland and Seattle devolve into nightly riots and lawlessness, once beautiful cities destroyed by the left's quest for power.
I wanted to do something to stop the downward spiral that our society was heading into.
In 20 years of fighting on the battlefields, and through my wife's death, I know what it's like to be on the receiving end of failed policy.
The events of 2020, including the lockdowns, riots, and a presidential election manipulated by a cabal of technocrats and bureaucrats, followed by a sham impeachment, a sham impeachment that our Congresswoman voted for, Made it clear to me that I had to go forward and fight once more.
I've never been someone who can ask others to go and fight for me.
That's why I'm asking to go fight for you in Congress just like I did throughout my 11 combat deployments.
I view this fight in Congress as a continuation of the oath that I took 23 years ago.
I'm here to support and defend the Constitution and to fight for my fellow Americans.
The entire time I was fighting overseas, I lived by the motto, if not me, then who?
If not when, but now.
Send me.
Together, we can elect someone to replace Congressman Butler who won't betray our values.
steve bannon
Okay.
Love and combat, Taurus.
Humility, tenacity, courage.
Remember, courage is the most important of all the virtues because it is upon courage that all the other virtues rest.
I want to introduce you now, the boardroom audience, to Joe Kent out there in the great state of Washington.
So Joe, tell me, you're running against, you're in a primary against a sitting congressman.
unidentified
Why?
joe kent
Well, Steve, I'm in this fight because of what happened throughout the last year, the way the lockdowns were shoved down our throats, the way the election of 2020 went, and the entire narrative that the media and big tech have been driving, that Joe Biden won an overwhelming victory, and then seeing the way that the Republican establishment, who was supposed to defend us, who was supposed to fight back against all of this, failed to do so.
Many of them turned tail and voted with the Democrats for the sham impeachment, and then my Representative Jamie Herrer-Butler went one step further and volunteered to be the star witness in the Democrats sham impeachment trial.
So seeing all that, I could see that we were under assault on all fronts and if we did not move to change things, it would be too late.
I have two young sons who lost their mother When they were very young.
And I know someday I'm going to have to look them in the eyes and explain to them that this is the country that their mother gave her life fighting for.
And the condition that we're in right now, I can't do that.
So I need to go and take all the skills that I learned over 20 years in special operations and take the information fight to Washington D.C.
and secure a congressional seat here for my state, for my district, so I can defend our way of life.
steve bannon
Joe, tell us a little bit about that district in a country that's so blessed by divine providence on just beauty, natural beauty.
Tell us about Washington III.
What are the people like up there and what's the district like?
joe kent
So we are in the heart of timber country.
So we are right along the Columbia River Valley Gorge on the Oregon and Washington border.
We're on the southern part of Washington.
We extend all the way out to the Pacific Ocean.
We're the only red district that touches the Pacific Ocean.
And then we go all the way to the east and into the interior of the Columbia River Valley Gorge into key agricultural territory.
So this area has really been affected deeply by the heavy-handed regulatory practices of the federal government for the last several decades, killing off our timber industry.
And heavily harming our fishing industry.
So the people out here that are used to earning a living from the land, they've had the government do nothing but take that ability away from them.
They started to see some relief with the America First policies that President Trump was putting into place, and they strongly rewarded President Trump and supported his agenda and greatly benefited from it.
So here in the Pacific Northwest, we're at the mercy of our major urban hubs, our major cities, Portland to our south, and then Olympia and Seattle to our north.
So by and large, we have governors that refuse to enforce law and order, and they even open up their cities as sanctuary cities.
So we are fighting kind of on all fronts to preserve our way of life out here.
And that's another reason why we just can't have weak Republicans like Jamie Herrera-Butler represent us.
steve bannon
Joe, you had 11 combat tours, deployments.
Your wife gave her life in the fight against ISIS, against the caliphate.
Over 20 years in special operations and deployed, what, 11 times.
What lessons, what have you learned from your combat experience?
What have you learned in defending America abroad?
joe kent
Lessons I've learned that the average American who goes and joins the military and wants to fight for this country, loves this country, loves our way of life.
The U.S.
military does an amazing job of putting together people from our entire country, all walks of life, and then honing them towards a common mission and a common goal to defend this country.
So I got to see that.
I got to live that.
I got to lead men and women into combat to defend our country.
But what I also saw was that our government, our establishment, on both sides of the aisle, left and right, does not have Our best interests at heart always.
Many times throughout the years, they kept us overseas for no actual gain, fighting for their obscure ideological beliefs, the neoconservative viewpoint, the neoliberal viewpoint.
But really, they were just happy to leave us over there in Fesher while our true adversaries, China, and then to a lesser degree, Russia and Iran, gained power and gained strength, but we continued to double down on failed ideologies.
Seeing what President Trump had done with the America First agenda really rekindled the flames in my heart.
And so seeing the way that President Trump gave us the ability to go out and decisively destroy our enemies, like ISIS and like Iran, without getting us into new wars, I think is the proper approach.
And so those are the big lessons I learned on how we can put our country first, how we can have a strong foreign policy, but without getting bogged down in these never-ending wars.
steve bannon
Joe, how do people get more access to what you're doing, what's your social media, and how they get access to any campaign literature so they can learn more about you and form their own opinions?
joe kent
Absolutely.
JoeKentForCongress.com is my website.
I have my stances on many issues there.
They can read all about that.
They can send me an email directly.
And if they can, I'd really appreciate a donation.
I'm in the fight against the rhinos, against the establishment, and against the far left.
So there's a tab on there where they can donate as well.
I'd really appreciate that.
steve bannon
Joe Kent, American patriot, American hero.
Sir, thank you so much for joining us today in the War Room.
joe kent
Thank you so much, Steve.
I really appreciate it.
steve bannon
Think about what Joe Kent fought for and the sacrifices that Kent family have made, particularly his wife dying in combat against ISIS to destroy the caliphate.
Do we have Doug Wardlow?
Doug Wardlow now is running in the Republican primary for Attorney General out in Minnesota.
Doug, I wanted to bring you on after Joe Kent, you know, an American patriot, American hero.
It kind of puts in perspective, I think, your race.
Is it Keith Ellison, the Attorney General, did he actually say that he wants the International Criminal Court, and Raheem correct me if I'm wrong, that's in, that's in, where is it?
unidentified
In the Hague.
steve bannon
It's in the Hague?
unidentified
Yeah.
steve bannon
He wants the International Criminal Court to review the American justice system, to investigate the American justice, did I hear that correctly?
Because I don't want to, I don't want to disparage Mr. Ellison unless that, is that, is that what he said?
unidentified
Yes, that's absolutely right, Steve, and thanks for having me on.
Keith Ellison yesterday in an interview on MSNBC told the host, Joy Behar, that he thinks that it would be appropriate for, that he agrees with, the International Criminal Court in The Hague investigating the American criminal justice system, our criminal justice system, for systemic racism and brutality and inhuman acts.
This is absolutely shocking and appalling.
Keith Ellison being the top legal and law enforcement official in the state of Minnesota.
Shocking.
steve bannon
What would drive Mr. Ellison to do that?
What evidence or backup did he give that had the International Criminal Court review the American justice system?
What was his rationale for that?
unidentified
Well, he didn't really give any rationale, but he clearly believes that there is systemic racism in the system, and he wants to push that false narrative forward.
Of course, that narrative is absolutely false, but Keith Ellison is all about pursuing systemic change.
He wants to change this country.
He wants to transform this country.
He's been very clear about that.
But, you know, Minnesotans don't want that.
Americans don't want that.
It's just appalling that Keith Ellison would invite or say he has no problem with an international body coming in and investigating our American criminal justice system, you know, and let alone an international tribunal that focuses on war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Just shocking and appalling.
This rhetoric is absolutely dangerous.
Of course, it undermines law enforcement.
It pushes for that false narrative about systemic racism.
And it undermines the safety of the public.
Keith Ellison is really siding with other countries against our country.
Terrible.
raheem kassam
Let's jump in here and just give some context to what we're talking about here.
I mean, this is a court that has, you know, a court, in inverted commas, that has investigated abuses in the Republic of Congo, the Côte d'Ivoire, Uganda, Darfur, Venezuela, Burundi, you know, so on and so forth.
And now Keith Ellison wants to add the United States of America to that list.
You look at the heinous allegations and the heinous acts of the people who have been investigated by this court previously, not to mention its complete lack of teeth on any of these matters.
But Keith Ellison, who was the Democratic Party chairman at one point, wants America to be on trial.
steve bannon
This is what is so stunning, and correct me if I'm wrong Rahim, is that in The Hague, that is what Doug said.
It's for war crimes and really crimes against humanity.
We had this huge fight about Israel, that Israel would not fall underneath it.
There's always been this big deal.
Remember, one of the reasons we kind of pulled out of Iraq is that we couldn't get a forces agreement about our forces being under U.S.
military law and not either under Iraq law or that could devolve in to have an ICC get involved in here.
Doug, before I let you go, we've got about a minute.
Do the folks in Minnesota, the folks in Minnesota, the great state of Minnesota, understand what a smear this is on them?
unidentified
They absolutely do.
They reject this.
You know, Americans and Minnesotans in particular, we understand.
That America is the standard for due process, the standard for law and for justice in the world.
So it's shocking and appalling and terrible that Keith Ellison would want to put the American criminal justice system on trial in an international tribunal that we're not even, the United States isn't even a party to.
It shows that he is complete and utter disdain and contempt for our justice system and he is completely unfit to serve as Minnesota's Attorney General and I look forward to replacing him in November 2022.
steve bannon
Doug, how do people get more access to you?
unidentified
Absolutely.
Take a look at dougwardlowag.com.
We could really use people's help to donate so we can replace Keith Ellison and restore law and order and then stand up for the American justice system.
steve bannon
Doug, thank you very much for joining us here in the War Room.
unidentified
Thanks, Steve.
steve bannon
You know, Rahim, you have someone like Joe Kent, loving combat tours, you know, fighting for the American way and to make sure that, you know, out there defending people, defending his country.
And then you see a guy like Keith Ellison saying that the International Criminal Court should oversee and do a review of the American, should investigate the American judicial system.
I mean, it's the stuff.
It's hard to shock people.
As this radical agenda comes out, but people got to see it for what it is.
raheem kassam
Do you know who the president of the International Criminal Court is?
unidentified
No, sir.
Who is it?
raheem kassam
Well, no, that's the point.
Neither do I, and neither do most people.
steve bannon
Okay, short commercial break.
Greg returns. Rahima Steve will be back in the war room in a second.
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.
Mhm.
The only piece of evidence that they did not take up there today was the only piece of incriminating evidence that is in there and it does not belong to my father.
Get out.
It belongs to the current president's son.
steve bannon
The hard drive from hell, that's Andrew Giuliani.
Man, that guy looks like a governor, doesn't he?
First time, I'm really impressed.
Andrew Giuliani defending his father.
raheem kassam
That is called walking towards the fire.
steve bannon
That's walking towards the fire.
Andrew Giuliani.
I've got to tell you, we're going to get to that in a second.
Remember, we're going to talk about the virus here in a second.
Whether you think it's a bioweapon or a joke, the one thing we know you have to do is boost your immune system.
Go to warrendefense.com.
Do it right now.
Get the free vitamin D3.
You get the free zinc.
You've got to pay shipping and handling, but you get more access about your immune system.
Remember, this show is about human agency.
Use it.
Make that decision.
Go do it today.
Also, the Mike Pillows.
Tonight, Mike Lindell, the armor-piercing shell, is walking into the lion's den.
Right?
I know a lot of people have been praying for him.
Mike's been sending me stuff all day about people praying for him.
Do that, but also watch Jimmy Kimmel.
I think he's on 1130 on ABC.
Watch Mike Lindell live up there with Jimmy Kimmel in this situation.
Also, if you want to support Lindell, you want to support the MyPillow team and the War Room, go to MyPillow.com right now.
Make sure to type in promo code WAROOM.
You got Giza sheets, you got the slippers, you got sales on just about everything.
Go there to your heart's content.
Need your support.
Okay, Rahim, I want to start.
I know people are very worried.
Let's start with Rudy.
Ukraine, you know the story better than anybody.
You were over there for the Color Revolution in 2013.
You know the Ukraine better than anybody.
You've reported on it for years.
You know all the players.
This is not about the Ukraine.
This is about Donald J. Trump.
The target on this is Trump.
They've got Victoria Tenzing.
They went to get her stuff.
They went to get Rudy's stuff.
They're looking at Trump, right?
raheem kassam
Yeah, obviously.
I mean, you look at who's who.
steve bannon
You're going after the President's lawyers, right?
raheem kassam
Yeah.
I think that's the fundamentals of it.
I've always disagreed with you on the sideshow to a sideshow thing, just because I think there is something.
All evidence points to there being some other reason that Joe Biden is so hyper-concerned about Ukraine, right?
And I talk about this on the podcast today.
I have a podcast, you know.
The Ukraine stuff is not just a geopolitical gambit aimed at kneecapping Vladimir Putin.
It may be part of that, right?
That may be part of it.
But realistically, there is something much larger, much wider, much more important to the Biden crime syndicate in Ukraine, that I think this next push is about covering up.
Remember, everything that you see, every time the Democrats come out with something like this, it's projection, projection, projection and cover up.
Look at what the New York Times ended up having to report about Andrew Cuomo today.
steve bannon
Can you imagine in the first hundred days of the administration if President Trump had gone after Obama's lawyer?
Right.
Right?
The mainstream media would have been, there wouldn't have been a State of the Union or Joint Address to Congress.
raheem kassam
Right.
steve bannon
It wouldn't have happened.
raheem kassam
And what did one of Obama's White House councils go on to do?
Fund the Transition Integrity Project, right?
So one side is aiming for political kill shots, and I'm afraid the other side just doesn't do it.
Um, believes, still believes, in the quote-unquote rule of law.
But unfortunately, the rule of law has clearly been perverted.
Um, you're seeing that from what Andrew Giuliani just said, he makes that very clear.
I mean, especially when you consider the, uh, swathes of evidence on the hard drive from hell, and the FBI just takes one look at that and goes, nah, you know what, we're not really into that.
What we're into is what Giuliani knows about Ukraine.
I bet you're interested in that.
I bet you're interested in that because Biden is now looking at maybe a re-election bid.
Who knows if Kamala's gonna let him.
She doesn't even let him take questions or he gets in trouble, remember, when he does.
But he's now looking at this and thinking, oh my goodness, okay, so over the next three years, goodness knows what this crazy Giuliani guy might dig up about me and what he might find about Ukraine, what he might find about Cyprus, you know, all these other places that the Bidens have been playing around in the world, okay?
And he's gotta go in for the kill here.
Just think about it.
You've got Lindell up tonight on Kimmel.
You've got Giuliani's apartment being raided here.
You've got Matt Gaetz.
steve bannon
Talk about that story on Matt Gaetz and your podcast.
raheem kassam
past the original New York Times story that said Matt Gaetz was sex trafficking and will be immediately indicted as a result.
And we still don't even have an accuser.
There's nobody out there.
steve bannon
Is that what the American Conservatives say?
raheem kassam
So the American Conservatives starts with that, the story, which is by Arthur Bloom up on the American Conservatives.
steve bannon
Is a guy in the State Department involved in this?
A guy on the State Department's payroll?
raheem kassam
Well, so the State Department allegedly had ring-fenced $75,000 to go to this Bob Kent guy, who's speaking of Andrew Cuomo, went on Chris Cuomo's show on CNN and admitted, effectively admitted, to an extortionate, and maybe not extortion, right, whatever you want to call it, but admitted to asking the Gates family for $25 million to go after a guy that was, they tell us he was dead.
You know, early last year the FBI saying Bob Levinson's dead.
And Bob Kent's going around trying to get this 25 million bucks off the Gates family?
steve bannon
Real quickly, tell the audience who Bob Levinson is.
Why is he important in the Gates story?
raheem kassam
Well, this is a CIA asset who was, you know, reportedly lost to the Iranian regime and is presumed dead.
steve bannon
But there has been, I mean, mountains... Well, he was in Iran, in the service of his country, that country being the United States of America, and has been missing or kidnapped for, what, 10 years?
raheem kassam
Over 10 years.
steve bannon
And they thought he's dead, maybe he's not dead, and there's a huge fight inside the government.
CIA says one thing, FBI says another.
raheem kassam
State departments say a whole other thing, by the way.
steve bannon
There's a whole kind of, like, cult of guys that said, he's alive, we have to get him, and that's... How's that working to the Gates story?
raheem kassam
Well, this is who Bob Kent, this really odd character, this is who they claimed they wanted to rescue with this $25 million.
Look, I understand if you're a member of the audience here, you're probably scratching your head to go, what is he talking about?
steve bannon
Okay, go see the pod, you gotta watch.
raheem kassam
By all means, this is the podcast.
I think it will raise further questions that actually aren't so many questions for you guys.
But there is something very, very odd going on behind the scenes here between State, CIA, and Gates.
It's just, you know, for them, it's very clear that Gates was just a guy that they wanted to kind of get wrapped up in all of this stuff.
Now he's fighting back.
It's four weeks after the original New York Times story into all of this stuff that's been allegedly going on.
and nothing's happened.
steve bannon
Biden tonight's going to be throwing out huge numbers.
A tree in here, a tree in there.
Tomorrow, John Tammy's going to explain modern monetary theory so you can get your arms around what he's actually talking about.
Also, on the virus, now there's a report, some study out there saying, hey, it changes, fundamentally changes your DNA.
Hey, that's not the war room, that's the study, peer-reviewed journals.
So we're going to get into that tomorrow, talk about Dr. Fauci, economics, the politics of it all, and also Arizona, Georgia, everything that's happening there.
Okay, Raheem, and by the way, go to Raheem's podcast.
I want to thank everybody.
Mike Lindell tonight, the armor-piercing shells in Hollywood.
Get to see him 11.30 live on ABC on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
See you tomorrow morning.
unidentified
Bring it on and now we'll fight to the end.
raheem kassam
Just watch and see.
unidentified
It's all started.
raheem kassam
Everything's begun.
unidentified
And you are over.
Cause we're taking down the CCP.
