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. | ||
|
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. | ||
| 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 a hundred possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Luntz lobbies, he's not a registered lobbyist, but he lobbies on behalf of some of the world's most left-wing corporations. | ||
| A lot of people do that. | ||
| Here's the interesting thing about Frank Luntz. | ||
| At the same time he's doing that, he also advises the leadership of the Republican Party. | ||
| So Frank Luntz works for Google and Nike and Delta Airlines, among many others. | ||
| Several years ago, Frank Luntz advised the makers of OxyContin on how to blame rural Americans as thousands of young people in rural America drop dead of opioid ODs. | ||
| Frank Luntz did that. | ||
| So he's not someone that normal people would go to for advice. | ||
| And if you were running the Republican Party, you definitely wouldn't, because Frank Luntz is effectively a Democrat. | ||
| We know this because we've listened to him. | ||
| Now, Luntz typically launders his own opinions through the pseudoscientific focus groups that he conducts. | ||
| But in real life, his views, make no mistake, bear no resemblance whatsoever to the views of actual Republican voters. | ||
| So again, the question is, how did someone like this wind up with so much influence in the Republican Party? | ||
| Why do Republican officials listen more carefully to Frank Luntz than they listen to their own voters? | ||
| That is a mystery. | ||
| A lot of people have asked that question in Washington, and as of three days ago, here was our best guess for why. | ||
| So why does Frank Luntz remain a fixture in Republican politics at a time when the companies he works for are opposed to the Republican Party? | ||
| Explicitly so. | ||
| Well, in part because he is particularly close to the House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, and has been since McCarthy entered politics. | ||
| In an interview earlier this year, Luntz described Kevin McCarthy as a personal friend. | ||
| And that relationship gives Frank Luntz outsized influence over the Republican Party's policy positions. | ||
| So, Luntz is a personal friend of Kevin McCarthy's, who's the top-ranking Republican in the House. | ||
| That's what we said. | ||
| Turns out, we didn't know the half of it. | ||
| Over the weekend, we got a call from a source who said that, in fact, Frank Luntz and Kevin McCarthy are not simply friends, they're roommates. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy lives in Frank Luntz's apartment in downtown Washington. | ||
| That's what we were told, and honestly, we did not believe it. | ||
| The top Republican in the House lives with a Google lobbyist? | ||
| Come on, come on! | ||
| Even by the sleazy and corrupt standards of politics in Washington, that did not seem possible. | ||
| In fact, it sounded like a joke. | ||
| But this morning, since we heard it, we called to check with Kevin McCarthy's spokeswoman. | ||
| And when we raised this, she all but chuckled at the suggestion. | ||
| No! | ||
| When he's in Washington, she told us Kevin McCarthy rents hotel rooms or sleeps in his office in the Capitol. | ||
| He certainly isn't living with Frank Luntz! | ||
| Okay, and that seemed logical to us. | ||
| But we did press a little bit because we got the tip from someone we consider reliable and we just wanted to be sure. | ||
| So the spokeswoman said she would get back to us. | ||
| Two hours later, we got this text, quote, following up on our conversation from earlier today. | ||
| Because of the pandemic, McCarthy has rented a room in Washington at a fair market price from Frank. | ||
| Once. | ||
| So actually, the top Republican in the House does live with someone who lobbies for Google. | ||
| Mystery solved. | ||
| Not only are they friends, they're roommates. | ||
| So now you know why they listen to Frank Luntz, but they don't listen to you. | ||
| No matter how cynical you've become lately watching Washington, that's still a pretty remarkable thing to learn. | ||
| But other questions remain. | ||
| For example, what did the coronavirus pandemic have to do with Kevin McCarthy's choice of apartments? | ||
| Did the Chinese unleash a virus on the world and all of a sudden congressional leaders have to live with Frank Luntz? | ||
| Was there CDC guidance on that? | ||
| If so, we missed it. | ||
| If anything, COVID increased the number of housing options in Washington, D.C. | ||
| In some places, apartment prices fell, but not in Frank Luntz's building. | ||
| Frank Luntz lives in one of the most expensive buildings in Washington. | ||
| We pulled the deed and we checked. | ||
| The estimate that we found shows that Luntz's condo in the fashionable Penn Quarter part of the city would likely rent for over $5,000 a month. | ||
| That's the, quote, fair market price. | ||
| So the question is, is Kevin McCarthy paying $5,000 every month to Frank Luntz to live in his house? | ||
| We would love to know the answer. | ||
| We asked several times of his office and no one got back to us with an answer. | ||
| If Kevin McCarthy isn't paying market price, he is likely violating house ethics rules on taking gifts. | ||
| And someday, we have no doubt, we will find out exactly what he is paying. | ||
| But no matter what he's paying, as far as we're concerned, the price of the apartment is not the crime here. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy's real crime is mocking his voters. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy promises Republicans he shares their values. | ||
| He tells them he's on their side. | ||
| He says that he will fight for them against permanent Washington, the forces that would like to destroy their lives. | ||
| Voters believe Kevin McCarthy when he says this. | ||
| They send him back to office every two years. | ||
| They send him money. | ||
| And at the end of the day, Kevin McCarthy goes home to Frank Luntz's apartment in Penn Quarter, and he laughs about it. | ||
| Well, a remarkable story crossing today. | ||
| CNN, of all places, reporting that the Biden administration... Okay. | ||
| I think it's the... We just set a record, Rahim. | ||
| The longest cold open continuous. | ||
| We've had compilation cold opens. | ||
| But Tucker Carlson last night Went completely off the chain in a magnificent I don't know what part of that I like best. | ||
| There's so many fabulous moments, as only Tucker can do. | ||
| But I gotta, I gotta give it, I think in this one, as great as Tucker was, in the research, the staff, everything like that, I gotta give the hat tip to the staff for the cartoon at the end. | ||
| The cartoon, Frank Luntz and Kevin McCarthy, in pajamas, in like the duck feet pajamas you wear as a kid, like one's like a bear or a rhinoceros. | ||
| So genius. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 4 May, the year of our Lord 2021. | ||
| Now with over 50 million downloads, Real America's Voice, John Frederick's Radio Network, Roku, Pluto, G News and GTV. | ||
| And for its subtitle in Mandarin and blown through the firewall, this is what democracy is all about when you're going after it. | ||
| But on a serious note, that is a magnificent rant. | ||
| Let me give the audience signal, not noise. | ||
| Liz Cheney is in play to be removed, and I think you're going to see very, very rapidly, they're talking about the end of the month, I think you're going to see very, very rapidly a call to have a conference vote. | ||
| I think Elise Stefanik and Jim Banks, the naval officer, a couple of people I think are up for that role, but that's in play. | ||
| But Tucker Carlson, and we've been ranting for this for a while, and it was the one and only Raheem Kassam that called this It was two months ago. | ||
| It was a month ago. | ||
| I think I actually reached out to you and said, whoa, dude, that's a little spicy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Cool it. | |
| The tweet was... I think we have the tweet. | ||
| Do we have the tweet? | ||
| And it was a little nasty. | ||
| It was nasty. | ||
| Can we actually show the tweet on a family broadcast? | ||
| I think we can now because I have censored it. | ||
| You cleaned it up a bit? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Censored it. | |
| But everybody who follows me on social media knows it gets spicy up there. | ||
| But I want to say before we get that up from Denver. | ||
| Tucker Carlson, Kevin McCarthy is in play. | ||
| I know MSNBC and CNN are not going to get this for a couple of weeks, but Kevin McCarthy is now in play. | ||
| The Frank Lund situation and where Tucker Carlson called him out and called real crime, the real crime, not the crime of lying about, you know, What he's paying for the apartment to be roomies. | ||
| How many weeks ago was this? | ||
| And what caused it? | ||
| That was four weeks ago. | ||
| It says, get expletived, you rhino scumbag. | ||
| If this were a right-wing attacker, you'd be denouncing white supremacy or some other made-up goblin. | ||
| It was a far-left Nation of Islam attacker, and you're outflanked by Pelosi et al. | ||
| Again, resign. | ||
| We hate you. | ||
| I think I remember calling you on that. | ||
| I said it was beyond space. | ||
| Where's the lie? | ||
| Hang on, hang on. | ||
| Contextualize that. | ||
| What was that for? | ||
| Immediately after the actual, and the only actual, you know, very, very serious capital, weapon-carrying capital attack that we've seen in recent months, Kevin McCarthy was just almost completely silent on the matter. | ||
| You know, he sent his condolences out to the police officers Um, who were attacked as a result, but he never ever mentioned who the attacker was, what the ideology was that was behind it. | ||
| And, you know, as always, we find Republican Party leaders doing this. | ||
| You know, we'll take the high road. | ||
| We'll just issue a, you know, a nice tweet and then get on with the weekend. | ||
| And if it's the left, it's like, no, we're going to weaponize this against the right and churn it out. | ||
| It's going to be on television all day long. | ||
| We're going to put out statements and hold vigils and all of that. | ||
| And again, McCarthy failed to do what he is supposed to do, which is lead. | ||
| Lead to the country, lead the party, lead the national security effort, lead the war against this fascist ideology that informed this person to attack the capital. | ||
| That would be the nation of Islam. | ||
| And McCarthy was found wanting. | ||
| So I had had enough of it. | ||
| I probably had a martini, and I went to town on him. | ||
| And I went to town on him not just on that tweet, but I wrote an entire article about this. | ||
| It was entitled, The US Capitol Was Attacked By A Nation Of Islam Follower And GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy Hasn't Said A Word About It, It's Time For Him To Resign. | ||
| And it was probably about six or seven hundred words of exactly why this is a problem. | ||
| So, and this is a metaphor. | ||
| So I don't want to, no, not for you, but I'm saying that this is a, right now, the populist right and the populist movement is a, and we're not trying to do this physically, we're not trying to hurt anybody, but it's a decapitation exercise on leadership. | ||
| And this is both. | ||
| McCarthy is in play now. | ||
| As we said, he should have been in play for a long time. | ||
| And here's the reason. | ||
| If you see at the grassroots level, whether it's in Georgia or in South Carolina, in Florida, what's happening down at the Palm Beach at the PrecinctStrategy.com. | ||
| Go there. | ||
| Get in power today that this precinct movement of people taking over the Republican Party from the grassroots level. | ||
| Also, the school boards. | ||
| Also, what happened in New Hampshire last night. | ||
| Also, what's happening in Arizona. | ||
| We've got a lot to report on that. | ||
| This is a grassroots effort 5x more powerful than the Tea Party movement in 2009 at the same time. | ||
| And now leadership is misaligned with the voters, misaligned with not just the base of the party, the realignment of the party, because the realignment you're seeing in the Rio Grande Valley, in South Texas, in Arizona, and other places, right? | ||
| This is the great realignment going on in McCarthy By cozying up to Frank Luntz. | ||
| And Frank Luntz, remember Frank Luntz, some of the bigger nastiest Twitter battles are with the great Steve Cortez. | ||
| Who knows better about the finance and economics of this and the great realignment than Steve Cortez? | ||
| Steve Cortez to me is one of the top two or three thinkers of this entire movement and practical hedge fund guy. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Who's, by the way, about to launch a big show on Newsmax. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I think a primetime show. | ||
| And Cortez is absolutely brilliant. | ||
| Frank Luntz has been all over him and Cortez is all over Luntz because Luntz doesn't get it. | ||
| Luntz is a... and McCarthy finally called him out. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Call him out for representing all these companies, all these woke companies. | ||
| And the thing the other day, talking about the base of the Republican Party is once open immigration, once DACA. | ||
| That's just a lie. | ||
| It's not even close. | ||
| That's just spin. | ||
| McCarthy ladles it up. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy, not only is Cheney in play, Kevin McCarthy's now in play. | ||
| Raheem, and you said the other day, talk to me about having a shield and not a shield, and why McCarthy's in play. | ||
| It's very simple. | ||
| The reason that McCarthy has backed Cheney up until, well, still, is that she was his shield, he was her shield, and it was a kind of symbiotic relationship in that regard. | ||
| But if you go around Cheney, You know, let's take a little bit for granted that she is fundamentally unpopular and probably going anywhere else but leadership very quickly at this point in time. | ||
| You go straight around her to McCarthy, and McCarthy doesn't actually have anybody that likes him that is around him, and nobody can defend him. | ||
| And now he's going to throw her to the wolves in order to remain in power. | ||
| Tucker, this is called a forcing function. | ||
| Tucker's was a forcing function. | ||
| To save himself now, McCarthy is definitely going to throw Cheney to the wolves. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Her half-life is in leadership. | ||
| I think it's days, not weeks. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return with more populism and nationalism, as defined by our favorite CNN. | ||

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. | ||
| I mean, you talk about a personality cult where ideas and ideology just doesn't matter anymore. | ||
| That is this know-nothing Republican Party, isn't it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| You know, a few years ago, conservatives and Republicans quit caring about really what we consider to the left versus the right or progressivism versus conservatism. | ||
| And it switched to really populism or nationalism and populism. | ||
| Insiders versus outsiders. | ||
| And if that's the, you know, paradigm, if that's the contrast, then they call people like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney insiders and they're the enemy. | ||
| But Look, Joe, you know, I find it so interesting. | ||
| As you know, there's this classic conservative book in the canon of, you know, conservative economic philosophy called The Road to Serfdom and written by Hayek. | ||
| And in the book, he says that in a totalitarian regime, the worst get on top. | ||
| I think he was thinking of like the Soviet Union, but the Republican Party today is a place where the I believe he was thinking about the corporatists in the Democratic Party. | ||
| That's the road to serfdom. | ||
| Joe, you've got to write this down with your No. | ||
| 2 pencil. | ||
| Populism and nationalism have big ideas in back of them. | ||
| We're going to have Clyde Prestowitz later, Yale University Press, for the whole second hour. | ||
| The world turned upside down. | ||
| About the industrial economic policies of the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, this clash. | ||
| It's absolutely an amazing book. | ||
| He's an amazing guy. | ||
| Been around doing this for many, many decades about ideas and about ideas in action. | ||
| OK, over over at Morning Joe, the towering intellect of Joe Scarborough. | ||
| But before we before we go back to we're hearing, even as the show progresses, And I gotta just go back to the Tucker. | ||
| Tucker's magnificent. | ||
| That was as good, and people don't understand how tough it is to do it in a short time frame. | ||
| That was just over five minutes and he went through the whole arc of everything and really out at once. | ||
| uh... | ||
| who you know people in fighting with for years about this this concept by the way you don't find these bogus uh... you know these bogus uh... you know groups you get like ten people on their next you know republicans and they're all my god look at this we had changed policy we have open borders amazing racket it's a racket incredible i've seen it live it's a racket for the people that don't know basically what frank luntz used to do is convene these these uh... focus groups focus groups to get republicans to pull more to the left or more like friendly towards | ||
| corporates while he was taking money from corporates to lobby politicians and he would put this panel in front of republican politicians and say look what the ordinary person thinks this is why you need to you have more carve outs for google And they would do it, and then live in his house. | ||
| He dined off of the Contract for America for many decades. | ||
| He was one of the pollsters with the Contract for America with Newt. | ||
| I want to thank, by the way, we're going to get Mike Lindell. | ||
| They did not have the breaking news. | ||
| He's got a lot going on in Michigan. | ||
| There's a lot to report on Mike Lindell in Arizona, a lot of things going on. | ||
| I'm proud to be part of the MyPillow family. | ||
| Go right now to MyPillow.com, type in promo code WAROOM, support Mike Lindell, support the MyPillow company, the great manufacturing company up in Minnesota. | ||
| And of course the War Room. | ||
| Go there today. | ||
| You've got Giza sheets. | ||
| You've got the slippers. | ||
| You've got the moccasins. | ||
| You've got sales everywhere. | ||
| Just go there. | ||
| Hang out. | ||
| Make some decisions. | ||
| It's May. | ||
| It's early May. | ||
| Time to do some spring purchasing. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So go there today. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're hearing... My phone's blown up already. | ||
| We're hearing that, from very reliable sources, McCarthy's in trouble on the Hill. | ||
| Not just about this, but this is going to be... This is explosive. | ||
| But, the fact that, and not just the lying about, you know, being the roommate and what are you paying the market rate and all that stuff, and I'm sure it's all going to see people all over that. | ||
| Tucker, the buried lead there, when Tucker said, the real crime, and Tucker chooses, and his producers and writers, they really work through, they choose their words, you know, carefully. | ||
| The real crime is how he's represented these woke companies that hate, hate, hate the base of this party. | ||
| And continues to do, you know, to represent the senior levels inside Kevin McCarthy's head. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy's been a disaster. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy is a problem. | ||
| You've got a grassroots revolt. | ||
| And people, what do people say when I ask them all the time, what are you looking for? | ||
| Somebody that's going to stand and fight. | ||
| Not a guy like McCarthy that's, you know, all over the map. | ||
| And very weak. | ||
| So, Rahim, before we get here, we have another clip from CNN we need to play because, remember, the great realignment here is away from the corporatists. | ||
| The great realignment is away from what Frank Luntz represents. | ||
| The great realignment is away from just kowtowing to these corporations and giving them tax cuts and total deregulation and just hope everything would turn out fine. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| It didn't turn out fine. | ||
| They are the tip of the spear in your subjugation, right? | ||
| And really selling out the country, selling out the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| This book, he doesn't say it explicitly, but when we get Clyde Prestowitz in here, you're going to find out that the great hope of the establishment that they would change China | ||
| China changed us, and you can see this in the social credit scores, you can see this in the struggle sessions, in the cultural revolution, in the cultural Marxism, the struggle sessions, you can see it in state capitalism, you see in Tom Friedman, these guys always saying, oh my gosh, right, if we only could beat China for a day, Tom Friedman wrote an article about this, if we could only beat China for a day, we could solve Climate change. | ||
| And remember, as they dial down, as they dial down, and now, oh, we're not going to get to herd immunity. | ||
| We can't get to herd immunity. | ||
| The New York Times tells us that yesterday. | ||
| The government tells us yesterday. | ||
| Can't get to herd immunity. | ||
| Because having the disease before does not count into the calculation of herd immunity. | ||
| But we can live with this. | ||
| We'll be chronic. | ||
| But we'll live with it. | ||
| Because, wait for it, what's coming is the climate emergency. | ||
| It's not a climate crisis, it's a climate emergency. | ||
| Right. | ||
| This is the great reset. | ||
| This is part of Build Back Better. | ||
| This is where state capitalism coupled with authoritarian government and the mechanics of the oligarchs, the oligarchs in Silicon Valley, right, give you the social credit score. | ||
| And remember, As Tucker said even later in a better, even as good a rant, talked about the vaccinations and your college kids are telling you right now of what they said on Smirkonish on Saturday, they're going to, one, take your jobs away from you, you're not vaccinated, the government's not going to have a passport, implicit passport, you're not, they're going to take your jobs and now you're not going to have your kids educated. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Tomorrow we're going to have Josh Hawley, the tyranny of big tech, to talk about that in detail. | ||
| Right? | ||
| But you see it all coming out. | ||
| Tucker called that out also. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| I just want to say, the great realignment is populism, and is economic nationalism, and is sovereignty. | ||
| And down in the Rio Grande Valley, you've seen Bianca Gracia All the hard-working Hispanic citizens down there that are rejecting these open border, lack-of-sovereignty policies. | ||
| Mr. Rahim Ghassan. | ||
| Yeah, I just want to get back to something you said as well. | ||
| A lot of those things that you mentioned are very in-your-face parts of all of this, of how China has changed Western civilization as well. | ||
| There are also the parts that don't occur to us on a day-to-day basis. | ||
| The things in our lives have just been changed without us really even understanding they've been changed. | ||
| Attitudes and even patriotic attitudes towards the people who would seek to do harm to the country. | ||
| We give so much more than we used to give decades ago to these people. | ||
| I think about this video last night that was circulating about this lady that was pulled over by a I think a hispanic police officer you know hispanic origin police officer in the United States and she just she dives into this you know hysterical racist tirade against him says you're a murderer you'll never be white you're jealous of me she's a black woman and she's saying oh I'm I'm filming you because you're gonna murder me and you're gonna murder my child I mean they have | ||
| Because she's a police officer? | ||
| Communism and all of these things that have been funded by, we often forget, firstly we forget that the CIA director currently is in league with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| It's got to be said over and over and over again. | ||
| You're reporting and Sam Faddis burns the head of the CIA, why is he in bed with the Chinese Communist Party real quickly? | ||
| And lied to Congress, by the way, about his relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| We have evidence of that. | ||
| And then the CIA releases this hyper-woke video yesterday. | ||
| Embarrassing. | ||
| Disgusting. | ||
| You want to know why we're losing to the Chinese Communist Party? | ||
| Watch the video. | ||
| That meme I sent you, right? | ||
| Yeah, more worried about wokeness than about getting on with it. | ||
| And look, there are all these other things that are being, you know, decades ago, people used to look across the Atlantic from where I'm from and go, Oh, well, you know, well, at least America isn't taking any of this Soviet cultural Marxism BS, right? | ||
| At least they're standing up for themselves, which was more than the rest of the world was doing. | ||
| Now we're looking at it going, Oh, my goodness, if they can't do it, what are we going to do? | ||
| And it's in everything and it's every day. | ||
|

|
It's in every interaction now. | |
| Every single... Look at this. | ||
| Ron DeSantis signs this executive order yesterday. | ||
| Says, hey, you know, pandemic's over. | ||
| Get over it. | ||
| Get on with your lives. | ||
| He's a guy that's getting things done. | ||
| And the schools down in Florida, I'm told, this morning are still trying to force kids to wear masks. | ||
| I'm sure. | ||
| I'm sure some of these, the woke school boards and some of the teachers' unions down there. | ||
| Can I do one more thing real quick? | ||
| You can do anything you want. | ||
| want to roll home I go I get a hat tip because you you were you were ahead of this McCarthy thing even I thought McCarthy's disaster but it have to come I think you can take McCarthy and Cheney out right now. | ||
| I think so. | ||
| I think you have a move. | ||
| You've got Elise Stasfonik to replace Cheney and Jim Jordan to replace McCarthy. | ||
| If there's one thing the Brexit stuff taught me, it was there's no room or time for incrementalism. | ||
| We have to go whole hog and we have to go full speed. | ||
| If he's not paying full freight for that apartment, he's gone. | ||
| Gone. | ||
| The good folks over at Rasmussen sent me some of their polling exclusively this morning that's due to come out later on in the day and I've got to tell you, it's not good. | ||
| The question asked, should people who have already had COVID-19 and recovered continue to be wearing masks in public? | ||
| Should they continue to wear masks in public? | ||
| 54% say yes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Should people who have been fully vaccinated continue wearing masks in public? | |
| 49% say yes, 42% say no. | ||
| This is because MSNBC and CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, do not do evidence-based, fact-based. | ||
| This vaccine hesitancy is because of you guys. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| We've got a lot more to go. | ||
| Be back in the War Room in a second. | ||

| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Mitt Romney got called a traitor and a communist for having the courage of his convictions in speaking out against Donald Trump. | ||
| And it's just the latest example of old school Republicans getting shouted down by angry mobs. | ||
| Of course, these cancel culture censures for refusing to buy into the big lie are small compared to the mob attack on our U.S. | ||
| Capitol. | ||
| So don't buy into the idea that this is a conflict between establishment and insurgents. | ||
| Now, this is a fight between truth and lies, pure and simple. | ||
| And right now, within the Republican Party? | ||
| The lie seems to be winning. | ||
| Listen to Ohio Congressman Anthony Gonzalez on the pressure to push Liz Cheney from her position. | ||
| Quote, For prerequisite for leading our conference is continuing to lie to our voters? | ||
| Then Liz is not the best fit. Liz isn't going to lie to people. | ||
| This is a Republican saying it plainly. | ||
| Lying has become a litmus test for his party. | ||
| And this is dangerous for our democracy. | ||
| Because we need a sane, center-right party. | ||
| That's why it's worth remembering that kowtowing to an angry mob is literally the opposite of conservatism. | ||
| This is a political philosophy found in reaction to the French Revolution, when the guillotine violence was enabled by ideology and cult of personality. | ||
| The goal then was radical change. | ||
| Now it's radical reaction to change. | ||
| But the essential impulse is the same. | ||
| Anger fueled by fear, resulting in groupthink and groupblame. | ||
| At base, this is about fear of demographic change, and that's what's driving an assault on our democracy. | ||
| They've been convinced by hyper-partisan hucksters in media and politics that perpetuating power is nothing less than a matter of tribal survival. | ||
| And the refusal to accept an election loss is a symptom of that sickness. | ||
| The claims of mass fraud are false, but the demographic panic is real. | ||
| Now, the percentage of non-college educated whites is declining dramatically in our country, including in 14 states that most closely contested the last election. | ||
| And get this, a study of people arrested for the Capitol attack found that they were four times more likely to come from counties where the non-Hispanic white population is declining most. | ||
| That couldn't achieve by force is now being achieved through bogus partisan recounts, while the big lie is being used to justify voter suppression in 47 state legislatures, according to the Brennan Center. | ||
| Majority rule is under attack as a way to resist demographic change. | ||
| Mindful that counties that Joe Biden won are home to 67 million more Americans than Trump counties? | ||
| This year we'll also see epic battles to rig the system through partisan gerrymandering, trying to override the popular vote by stacking the deck with safe congressional seats. | ||
| These folks may pretend to be super patriots, but there's no way to attack democracy and defend America. | ||
| If you don't believe me, listen to Liz Cheney. | ||
| Quote, we can't embrace the notion that this election is stolen. | ||
| It's a poison in the bloodstream of our democracy. | ||
| We can't whitewash what happened on January 6th or perpetuate Trump's big lie. | ||
| It is a threat to democracy. | ||
| She's right. | ||
| And that's your Reality Check. | ||
| Here's a reality check. | ||
| This past weekend, guess what? | ||
| We're winning. | ||
| Victory begets victory. | ||
| And here's what they're most afraid of. | ||
| Here's what they've got to say. | ||
| It's tribal survival. | ||
| It's fear of demographic change. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They keep pointing the finger. | ||
| You're just a bunch of racists. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Nativists. | ||
| Nothing can be farther from the truth. | ||
| Working class Hispanics, working class African-Americans, middle class African-Americans, middle class Hispanics are coming to this set of ideas. | ||
| Look no further than the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas, Arizona. | ||
| It's happening, okay? | ||
| And they're in full meltdown. | ||
| You've got to be anti-democratic, you're racist. | ||
| What you're seeing there, what they want is controlled opposition. | ||
| What they want is a docile, you know, the George Will, put a bowtie on, you know, be polite on ABC, you know, talk about, yeah, you want to put the taxes back on, we want some more marginal tax cuts, we want some more deregulation, we want some more free trade. | ||
| Clyde Prestowitz is going to be here in the next hour talking about all those fantasies, right? | ||
| So that's what they want. | ||
| They want controlled opposition. | ||
| They don't really want a set of ideas that takes the nation into a more powerful, prosperous, and peaceful future. | ||
| Where everybody gets to participate, and you don't have to do that by running up trillions of dollars, right, of just made-up money, of fiat money, to pay for one utopian scheme after the next. | ||
| Here's what's coming. | ||
| They're going to try to pivot off The CCP virus. | ||
| Unfortunately, the CCP virus is not going to, I think, go along with them, right? | ||
| Until we get to the bottom of what happened in the Wuhan lab, you know, we're never going to know. | ||
| You're never going to get your arms around this. | ||
| Just ask India, right? | ||
| So you've got, and here's what they're doing. | ||
| They're putting up controlled opposition. | ||
| Oh, isn't Liz Cheney great? | ||
| These people detest, have detested the Cheney's for 20 or 30 years, right? | ||
| But now they're propping them up because why? | ||
| They're globalist. | ||
| And would say that Liz Cheney, you know, always tells the truth. | ||
| That Cheney's got such a great track record of that. | ||
| Look at the weapons of mass destruction, the trillions of dollars in so many lives. | ||
| So many lives thrown away in the Middle East. | ||
| On not just unwinnable wars, but wars of choice. | ||
| That those choices never should have been made and people got to be held accountable for those choices. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Took this nation to war, spent our blood and treasure in faraway lands that were of, you know, in hindsight did not, at the time, people argue you don't need to do this, particularly to stop radical Islamic Jihad terrorism. | ||
| President Trump showed you how to shut it down, right? | ||
| Crush ISIS, crush the caliphate there with using troops from people in the area. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And then choke them out using economic means and also things like making sure you fully vet people before they come in the country. | ||
| And that's how you stop radical attacks. | ||
| Mr. Rahim Ghassan, you're an expert in this. | ||
| You see this. | ||
| What they're doing now, they're in panic mode. | ||
| The narrative of the insurrection is all but dead, right? | ||
| They only do that to play the short videos. | ||
| You don't see them every day up there. | ||
| Where are the court cases? | ||
| Where are all these insurrectionists? | ||
| Where are all the seditionists? | ||
| You know, Sinclair Broadcasting did a special, I think, on Sunday morning about Ashley Babbitt. | ||
| Ashley Babbitt, she's the one that's been dead, the one that's killed, gunned down, right? | ||
| Still haven't gotten to the bottom of any of that. | ||
| So, as their narrative crater's there, they've got to go to the next thing. | ||
| This is all Trump cult of personality. | ||
| You're going to hear that a million times. | ||
| Cult of personality, cult of personality. | ||
| This is about ideas, not about cult of personality. | ||
| President Trump, actually, people that he's endorsing are not actually, like McKissick in South Carolina is in trouble. | ||
| The widow only got 19% of the vote. | ||
| Non-endorsed Trump people got a higher percentage of the vote. | ||
| I think that she there at least tied her. | ||
| Now it was all broken down into pieces. | ||
| It's not that people in the Trump movement don't respect President Trump's endorsements. | ||
| They do, although they understand sometimes he gets bad advice, like in Kansas with Jerry Moran who does not support his economic policies whatsoever. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Or, Roger Marshall, a guy he endorsed for the Senate, right? | ||
| Roger Marshall on Sunday on CNN, kowtowing, oh we got to move on, got to look to the future. | ||
| That's a big thing, got to look to the future. | ||
| It's always about the future, got to look to the future. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's about today and it's about November 3rd. | ||
| And you've got a grassroots movement in Arizona that's grinding through this and it's going to take a while. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It's going to take a while, but they're making preparations for that. | ||
| It's going to take a while, as it should take a while. | ||
| It should take a while. | ||
| We're going to have some folks on here from New Hampshire. | ||
| They had 500 people. | ||
| I think they were expecting 100. | ||
| 500 people showed up last night and it got a tad rowdy. | ||
| Right? | ||
| People are very focused on this. | ||
| I tell you what's going to happen is they're going to find some stuff in that count in Wyndham And that's going to lead to the full state, remember this was passed unanimously at the state legislature level, which never happens. | ||
| You're going to find, I think you're going to see what's happening in Arizona, I believe you're going to see it up in New Hampshire. | ||
| I believe you're going to have a special session of the Georgia legislature called, as this popular movement continues to take over the Georgia Republican Party, and everybody right now, you want to empower, you want to be in the game. | ||
| Just don't, listen, we don't do this show for entertainment. | ||
| Right? | ||
| We do the show to empower you. | ||
| This is about agency. | ||
| Take your agency running. | ||
| There's two things you can do immediately, besides being a force multiplier and pushing our content out. | ||
| The other thing you can do is to help assist at the school board levels, right? | ||
| On critical race theory and the whole issue with vaccinating the school children. | ||
| To make sure that if it's done, it's done. | ||
| The parents get the full information and you're totally and completely signed off. | ||
| It's just not forced on kids. | ||
| The other is the precinct. | ||
| Go to precinctstrategy.com and go become part of the Republican Party at the precinct level and start to have your voice heard. | ||
| Both of those won't cost you a nickel. | ||
| In fact, I would tell you to stop, stop sending money to these different things right now. | ||
| Just go empower yourself. | ||
| Go, go get active. | ||
| And this is why Kevin McCarthy, you know, everybody said my phone's blown up. | ||
| Other people are talking all over. | ||
| We're getting calls. | ||
| McCarthy's in trouble. | ||
| Cheney is on the, you know, I don't know what her half-life is, but they're moving on her. | ||
| That, I think, is going to happen here very, very shortly, right? | ||
| And they say by the end of the month. | ||
| I think it could actually happen sooner than this. | ||
| I think by the end of the week. | ||
| If you see, you're in the plug. | ||
| I know the Morton's crowd's chattering about this. | ||
| No, but they're in trouble. | ||
| Put it this way. | ||
| He knows, McCarthy knows, that it's Imminent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It has to happen immediately or he will be gone by the end of the month. | |
| So it's her by the end of the week or him by the end of the month. | ||
| It's his choice. | ||
| He's in play now. | ||
| Tucker's thing last night with the lunch and I gotta tell you one thing they got to come up with they got to figure out this thing about yeah if he's taking it from a lobbyist yeah if he's living with a lobbyist yeah right they got to get to and they were very specific in the two money right when they came back back market rate, buried lead, that's their lawyers checked that before they responded, right? So they got to be all over that. Can we add like another thing to this as well? | ||
| And I know this might seem like a small thing, but when it's a scummy lobbyist like Frank Luntz, and all of the billions of dollars that he represents, the corporate interests, etc., how do we know that the Republican leadership is not being spied on with an Amazon Alexa device or whatever else that Luntz may have on site? | ||
| How can people be sure of that? | ||
| I'm sure his security does a sweep. | ||
| You're not buying that? | ||
| You're still mesmerized by the cartoon, The Two Outfits. | ||
| I just, the whole thing is as bad as it can get and I'm just stunned that McCarthy's that stupid himself to find himself in this position. | ||
| But it goes to the sheer loathing that he treats the Conservative base with, that you would even think this is okay to do. | ||
| Did it never occur to Leader McCarthy, did he never have this thought? | ||
| Yeah, probably not a good idea to live with a Google lobbyist for a market rate in one of the fanciest buildings in Washington DC. | ||
| Probably not a good idea. | ||
| And what Tucker said, the real crime is the pouring of the ideas in his head. | ||
| Every day. | ||
| Right? | ||
| That's the real issue. | ||
| Over breakfast. | ||
| Over breakfast, right? | ||
| When they're in their duck feet pajamas. | ||
| So says the cartoon. | ||
| Tucker, I gotta tell you, not only was it epic, I gotta give Tucker's producers, the cartoons, for our podcast audience, you gotta see this whole thing. | ||
| That was the executive producer of the show, I believe, who came up with that. | ||
| Genius. | ||
| Very, very good. | ||
| Genius. | ||
| Artistic, if nothing else. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're actually, I think, we're going to try to go to New Hampshire. | ||
| Look, this thing is expanding. | ||
| You're going to have Michigan. | ||
| Mike Lindell, because enough hasn't happened with the Pernod's lawsuit, but there's going to be some bombs dropped there. | ||
| Mike Lindell's going to come in, hopefully this afternoon, if this gets dropped, in Georgia, in Arizona. | ||
| They're grinding through in Arizona. | ||
| People all over on the school boards, you know, it's game on right now, showing people what democracy looks like. | ||
| Did you know it's nearly the 140th anniversary of the founding of the American Red Cross? | ||
| Is that Clara Barton? | ||
| That was Clara Barton. | ||
| Clara Barton. | ||
| You know, we ought to do a special on that. | ||
| What day is that going to be? | ||
| Is it coming up on it? | ||
| Yeah, in a couple of weeks. | ||
| Is there any buildings in town named after her? | ||
| Enough already. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| Be back in New Hampshire next. | ||

| Okay, I want to bring in Marilyn Todd, who was nice enough to join us from the rally yesterday. | ||
| She joins us from New Hampshire. | ||
| She's head of New Hampshire Voter Integrity. | ||
| Marilyn, just quickly, what happened last night at the rally, and then what happened afterwards? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The rally was beautiful, and it was heartbreaking at the same time. | |
| So, basically what happened is, 500 people showed up, which was beautiful to see. | ||
| And then, um, it didn't matter though. | ||
| You know, the selects board still talked to us disgustingly, told us we were irrelevant, told us that, um, the way he spoke to us was disgusting. | ||
| And this is just how this board has been speaking to us. | ||
| And they're not going to change their mind. | ||
| And that, so now Steve, we have two, um, okay. | ||
| So we're supposed to have three different auditors. | ||
| Um, and now we have two people from verified voting. | ||
| It's because the Secretary of State chose Harry Herstey last night. | ||
| So let me ask you, when you say disgusting and that you didn't matter, be specific. | ||
| You show up with 500 people, that seems to be a lot in Wyndham to come to a Selectman meeting. | ||
| Why did they say you didn't matter and why did they talk to you, in your opinion, in a disgusting manner? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They just, um, they, they told us to our faces that we were irrelevant. | |
| Um, there's video all over it. | ||
| We turned our backs to them. | ||
| We stood up and we, all 500 of us turned our backs to them. | ||
| We, you know, I, I, I told everybody, if you want Jovan to please stand up, everybody in that building stood up. | ||
| All 500 of us stood up. | ||
| They, they, they, they said that they're not changing their minds. | ||
| Um, they don't, They're not going with the will of the people, and that's just exactly what they're doing, and there's no changing their mind at this point. | ||
| I don't know why. | ||
| But today, we're not going to give up. | ||
| We're hiring Jovan ourselves. | ||
| We're putting a GoFundMe together right now. | ||
| It's not going to be a GoFundMe, it's a different one, because I guess GoFundMes get deleted all the time. | ||
| I'm gonna have it out there. | ||
| I left last night with $2,500 already towards Joe Vaughn, and that's how much I left with. | ||
| That's how mad people were. | ||
| We have an Article 10 in New Hampshire in our Constitution, and we're firing them all, because what is the point of this audit if we can't trust it? | ||
| And we're so over it, Steve, that it's, that's what's heartbreaking about it, is they're making us, they're making us, you know, What we want should matter. | ||
| And we need to trust this audit. | ||
| And it's disgusting that, you know, they spent all this time making us believe that we were being heard and that we were important. | ||
| And here's SB 43. | ||
| It's so perfect. | ||
| You guys are going to be happy. | ||
| And now we have two members of Verified Voting doing our audit. | ||
| Okay, real quickly, if you hire an outside consultant, if he raises money and do it independently, how are they going to get access? | ||
| I mean, besides a protest movement? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're not going to have a choice, Steve. | |
| We're not giving them a choice. | ||
| They don't have a choice. | ||
| It's we the people. | ||
| Those are our ballots. | ||
| In New Hampshire, we're allowed to In New Hampshire it's live free or die. | ||
| Prove to us. | ||
| Prove to us that you guys have nothing to hide. | ||
| Why aren't you going with the people's pick if everything was so innocent and perfect on November 3rd? | ||
| Okay, perfect. | ||
| How can people get more access to you? | ||
| How can they get more information on this, Marilyn? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They can go to newhampshirevoterintegrity.org Um, they can also email me at action at New Hampshire NH voter integrity.org. | |
| And, um, you know, basically. | ||
| You know, we need to work really hard over here because we're not having a fair election. | ||
| We're not going to be involved in this. | ||
| New Hampshire's not going to be a domino at all because, you know, from what happened last night, there's something going on. | ||
| We had 500 people in their faces begging them for Jovan and they completely just pretended like we were, his exact words, irrelevant. | ||
| Okay, I want to give it one more time, slowly, because you kind of blew through it. | ||
| How do people get access to you? | ||
| No, that's okay. | ||
| How do they find more information? | ||
| The live chat, the live audience here wants to know, so take us through it quickly, but accurately. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right, so it's going to be www.nhvoterintegrity.org. | |
| New HampshireVoterIntegrity.org. | ||
| And then how do they get to you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They can get to me by my email. | |
| I'm just going to get my email out. | ||
| It's going to be MarilynMaryn.Todd at gmail.com. | ||
| And again, that's MarilynMaryn.Todd. | ||
| Okay, Marilyn Todd, thank you. | ||
| We're going to be checking up on this story very frequently. | ||
| We appreciate you. | ||
| I know you're juggling children, a house, all that. | ||
| We really appreciate you coming on. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Great job last night. | ||
| That was a real turnout. | ||
| We'll put some video up in the afternoon show. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Marilyn Todd, live free or die up in New Hampshire. | ||
| Boy, I tell you what, don't think when you sign up for these things, like you sign up for the precinct committeeman, when you go to the school board, they're not going to sit there and go, wow, we were really waiting for you to show up. | ||
| Isn't it great? | ||
| You're here and you've got an opinion. | ||
| They're not going to hug you and give you a pat on the head, okay? | ||
| This is a fight. | ||
| So understand, you're going to be dismissed, you're going to be discounted. | ||
| That's just par for the course. | ||
| You just gotta stand your ground and, you know, use the grit and determination that helped build this country. | ||
| And that will, you know, we will push through. | ||
| And victory begets victory. | ||
| Watch out. | ||
| There's gonna be big things happening in New Hampshire. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| Clyde Prestowitz will join us next. | ||
| The world turned upside down. | ||
| Raheem Ghassan, we got your nod to punch out of here? | ||
|
unidentified
