Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
anthony fauci
You don't want to frighten the American public.
unidentified
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
anthony fauci
This is going to be a real serious problem.
unidentified
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always.
Because if you don't, then the worst happens.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve doocy
There are a number of reports out right now, Leader McCarthy, that some of your allies are saying we're unhappy with her in leadership because she voted to impeach President Trump, and now they're vowing a vote to get rid of her.
anthony fauci
What can you tell us about that?
unidentified
No, there's no concern about how she voted on impeachment.
That decision has been made.
I have heard from members concerned about her ability to carry out the job as conference chair, to carry out the message.
We all need to be working as one if we're able to win the majority.
Remember, majorities are not given, they are earned.
And that's about the message about going forward.
Combating Joe Biden, what he's done to this border by making it insecure and what's coming across.
Just what he's doing here about small businesses, not opening schools, not getting us back to work, back to health, back to normal.
That's the message we should be talking about.
I haven't heard members concerned about her vote on impeachment.
It's more concerned about the job ability to do and what's our best step forward that we can all work together I don't know if your ears were burning last night in the 8 o'clock hour, but Tucker Carlson said he had received a tip that you have been living with pollster and corporate consultant Frank Luntz.
steve bannon
What's up with that?
unidentified
I didn't know how this was controversial.
Frank has been a friend of mine for more than 30 years.
I met him with Newt Gingrich back when they were working on the contract with America.
You know, as the Democrats took over, they started changing the house around.
And so, yeah, I rented a room for Frank for a couple months, but don't worry, I'm going back to where I'm normally on my couch in my office.
I think she's got real problems.
I've had it with her.
I've lost confidence.
Well, someone just has to bring a motion, but I assume that will probably take place.
steve bannon
Always watch out for the hot mic.
We're live!
Nations Capital, you're in the War Room, Tuesday, 4 May, Year of Our Lord 2021.
Captain Bannon joins us on Skype, and Commander Gritens is back from his journeys.
By the way, I was thinking, Raheem barely punches in for the afternoon show.
I was starting to miss you.
eric greitens
Hey, it's good to be back, man.
It's good to be back.
steve bannon
Wherever you've been, you've been in pretty good.
That water, Aaron, water in Missouri.
eric greitens
Get back to Missouri, you get a nice steak, you get some good air, you're feeling good.
maureen bannon
Got a nice jam going on.
eric greitens
Yeah, exactly.
Thank you.
steve bannon
You've been out with the people.
eric greitens
Yes, we have.
We've been out with the people.
You know what that reminds me of, though?
You know, one of the things Reagan used to do is he used to do, and I'm not saying McCarthy did this, he used to do those purposeful hot mic moments where he'd go on and he'd say, in a moment, we're about to start bombing the Soviet Union, right?
And he knew that they'd catch him, but it was kind of a signal.
It was a signal to all of the folks in the country who were supporting Ronald Reagan.
steve bannon
Sorry, not sorry.
eric greitens
That's right.
unidentified
That's right.
eric greitens
You gotta wonder.
steve bannon
Well, let's talk about that.
Maureen, you've got actually a statement from McCarthy's spokesperson, correct?
Can you read that to us?
maureen bannon
Correct.
Liz Cheney's, it's actually Liz Cheney's spokesperson.
After the comments from Representative McCarthy, Jeremy Adler, her spokesperson, said, this is about whether The Republican Party is going to perpetuate lies about the 2020 election and attempt to whitewash what happened on January 6th.
Liz will not do that.
That is the issue.
steve bannon
Okay, I want to go now and talk about leadership.
You're a decorated Navy SEAL commander, have been in combat mode.
You deployed to Iraq as an Army officer during the war.
When you talk about leadership and political leadership, What's the difference?
Isn't the whole thing about believing in something and standing up for something?
And one of the things we hear from the audience all the time, the War Room Posse, we want the Posse to jump in here, is the feckless nature of leadership.
I know you're a guy that's focused on the Senate and you've been a governor.
Talk to us about the House and McCarthy, this Liz Cheney situation.
Give us your observations.
eric greitens
Here's what people want, and I can tell you this.
It's true in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.
It's true in New Madrid, Missouri.
It's true around the country.
People want fighters.
One of the core virtues of leadership is courage.
It is the virtue that Winston Churchill said is necessary because it makes all others possible.
Without courage, You cannot sustain any other virtue because you need courage in the face of fear.
You need courage in the face of attacks.
And what the people of the country know is that they've seen the attacks that are coming from the left.
They see it day after day after day.
They see these attacks from the woke CEOs.
They see the attacks from the far left.
They see the attacks from the establishment in the swamp.
So people ask themselves, what do we need?
We need leaders with courage.
And what happens when you have courage?
Courage is, and Mo will speak to this, you know this, they talk about it in the military, courage is contagious.
When people step forward, what starts to happen is that other people see that it's possible to step forward.
And I would say, in fact, the mission that's in front of all of us who are patriots, who are conservatives in the country today, is that we have to demonstrate that kind of courage.
Because the fact is, there are more people in the country who have common sense than there are radical crazies.
There are more people who are patriotic than there are radical leftists, but what's happened since the 2020 election, what's happened since Joe Biden has been shoving this radical leftist agenda down people's throats, what's happened since the big tech censors have stepped in, is that so many patriots are starting to feel hopeless.
And one lesson I learned about this when I came back from Iraq after my team was hit by a suicide truck bomb.
You and I have talked about this a little bit before.
And I started working with a lot of returning veterans.
Men and women who've lost eyesight, lost limbs, who'd been severely injured overseas.
And what we found was that the most severe injury for them was not if they lost their eyesight, not if they lost their hearing, not if they lost a limb.
The most severe injury came when people lose a sense of purpose.
When they lost a sense of purpose, that was when they started turning to drugs.
That was when they started turning to alcohol.
That's when they got down on themselves.
That's when you had all these negative impacts.
People find that if they believe that there is a purpose for them, they can make it through.
People have talked about, if you know your why, you can make it through anyhow.
What's facing the country right now is that we have patriots and conservatives who feel hopeless.
And that's why now, more than ever, The key leadership virtue is courage.
The other thing I'd say about that, what we have to do, those of us who are MAGA patriots, America First patriots, we also have to take back this language of compassion.
Somehow the left got away with running around talking about how they're the people who care.
We have to go out and we have to connect to our fellow Americans and let them know that the same reason why you served, why Mo served, why I served, is because you love your country.
You love your country.
You love your neighbors.
What does that mean?
It doesn't mean that your country is perfect.
It doesn't mean your neighbors are perfect.
But if you love someone, you're willing to stand up, you're willing to fight for them, you're willing to sacrifice.
The reason why patriots and conservatives, why we have to stand up, is because we love our neighbors and we love our country.
And we have to take back this language of compassion.
The fact is the left is heartless.
Keeping a kid with a learning disability out of school for a year when they're five or six years old is going to damage them for the rest of their lives.
The left knows that they're doing it.
They know that there's no science behind it and they've been doing it again and again and again.
I know we're going to talk later about what's happening in our cities with murder and violent crime.
Every one of those crimes impacts not just the person on the receiving end, but can have a destructive effect on a family.
Where is the compassion in calling for defunding the police and allowing this murder and violence to continue?
Same way you look at what's happening on the southern border.
It is a national security issue.
It's a public health issue.
You're also turning over tens of thousands of the most vulnerable kids in the world to Mexican drug gangs and cartels.
There is a heartlessness on the left.
So we need to lead with courage.
We need to lead with compassion because we put those together and we have a powerful, powerful combination.
You get courage, you get compassion, you get clarity.
We're going to take our country back.
steve bannon
What happens when he has somebody like Cheney?
Look, as we say on here, there are two things we have to get to the bottom of, and you can't move forward.
We had Clyde Prestowitz in, and the audience really responded to him today for the entire hour.
Yale University Press, amazing new book, World Turned Upside Down, where he lays it out.
We can't get to the bottom of this until you get to the bottom of Wuhan Lab and November 3rd.
We've got to get to the bottom of this.
Cheney, and it looks like Romney, certain guys in the Senate, they're going out of their way.
They talk about unity.
They're going out of their way to attack the MAGA movement, to attack the America First movement.
And they're now playing up this false narrative that it's a cult of personality.
Yet you're seeing around the country this past weekend where you're seeing the Republican Party committee man structure with people coming in.
And even in South Carolina where President Trump has supported this guy McKissick, yet you've got this big rally of people against that.
You're seeing across the country, whether it's school boards in Vail, Arizona, school boards in Phoenix, they're all running, the thing up in Wyndham, New Hampshire on the voting, that the MAGA movement is now feeling like, hey, They're seeing examples like you and others and say, hey, we now feel empowered.
We now, we're going to go be a precinct man.
We're going to go to a school board.
You can see this momentum building of this populist revolt.
Yet the leadership in D.C., number one, I don't see him really talking about law and order.
You just don't see it.
You don't really see talking about border security on the South.
Mo, jump in here for a second, then Commander Gritens.
maureen bannon
Well, I was just going to add to what was already said.
In the military, you have to believe in your leaders, and you have to trust that they're going to do what you believe is right, and Liz Cheney is not doing that.
She's kowtowing to the left, and she is not doing what the people that put her in office are wanting her to do.
And in the military, you expect your leaders to stand up for what is right and what is wrong, and she is not doing that.
steve bannon
Do you believe Mo's right?
Do you think that Cheney is playing towards the mainstream media and playing to the woke capitalists and playing to Wall Street?
unidentified
Of course!
steve bannon
And going after the MAGA movement?
eric greitens
Of course!
Look, the mainstream media loves nothing more than a Republican who turns on a patriotic Republican.
The mainstream media loves nothing more.
They will shower attention and adulation on rhinos.
Why?
Because then they get to say, well, even their fellow Republicans are going after these America First patriots.
So absolutely.
The mainstream media works hand in hand.
The propaganda press works hand in hand with rhinos to attack America First patriots.
And you see it time and again.
steve bannon
Tell us the difference between, in your mind, military leadership and political leadership.
In military leadership, you need physical courage.
In political leadership, you need some physical courage because it's very dangerous sometimes, but you also need moral courage.
What do you see as the difference between those two?
eric greitens
I would say, actually, they're more similar than different.
And yes, you need more physical courage, obviously, in the military than you do in political office.
But at the end of the day, courage is still your willingness to sacrifice.
Your willingness to sacrifice in the face of hardship.
Your willingness to sacrifice in the face of attacks.
The difference is that in politics, what often happens is that the attacks come from behind.
And that's why, that's why all of the people who are listening to this right now are so upset.
Not that the left are crazy!
People see them coming.
They see Joe Biden's craziness.
They see Nancy Pelosi's craziness.
They see Chuck Schumer's craziness.
It's why they're upset with Liz Cheney.
It's why they're upset with the RINOs.
It's why they've said, no more to backstabbing Republicans.
Because in the military, you get to see your enemy in front of you.
In politics, what so often happens is that you think that you're engaged in one fight, and then you get rhinos who come in and stab folks in the back.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial.
Go ahead, we've got time.
maureen bannon
Jump in.
I agree 100%.
In the military, you see your enemies from the front, and in the politics, you don't see your enemies coming.
They come from behind.
steve bannon
That's what makes politics a more deadly sport sometimes, right?
This is why, and by the way, I think this is why a lot of people are getting fed up now with Liz Cheney.
I think that's the reason that even McCarthy, I believe also that Tucker Carlson put McCarthy in play last night with the Frank Luntz piece, and that's why it's going to serve his purpose to throw her under the bus to save himself.
Rahim, and I think the New York Post, Rahim tweeted out and had some analysis in the New York Post.
It wasn't $5,000 a month.
I think they said that Blunt's combined a bunch of into one penthouse.
It might be $20,000 a month.
This is what the Post and Rahim add.
We're going to get it.
That whole, that when he sent the tweet, the text back that said, hey, we paid a market rate.
That was a tell.
That was jumping out.
Okay, short commercial break.
breaker and turn back with Commander Gritens, Captain Bannon in the war room in a moment.
unidentified
BCB!
They have all...
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 think people also are confused about what the goal is.
Can you clarify, is the goal herd mentality and what does that mean in a country our size?
anthony fauci
You know, I think we should just forget about that herd immunity.
You're slipping.
Sorry.
unidentified
I've slipped.
anthony fauci
So I have been encouraging people of late to really not focus on that elusive terminology.
If you just give me a few seconds, I'll explain it.
The concept of herd immunity is when you get A number of people vaccinated, plus the people who have been infected, recovered, and are now protected.
That you get so many of them, that you get a veil or a blanket of protection, where when the virus gets into the society, it has no place to go.
It has no place to infect anybody.
There are still people who are vulnerable, but it's very difficult for the virus to find them.
That's what herd immunity is.
The herd immunity threshold is a percentage of what percentage of the population needs to be protected in order to get this blanket of full protection.
The fact is, Nicole, we don't know what that number is for SARS-CoV-2.
We know what it is For measles, because we've been dealing with measles for decades and decades.
So rather than focusing on this elusive threshold of herd immunity, what we've been saying and what President Biden said this afternoon, Was let's aim for 70% of the population to get at least one dose by the 4th of July.
That is a doable goal.
It's challenging.
It's not going to be easy, but we can do it.
So what I've been saying is instead of worrying about all we owe it, we're not going to get to this elusive number.
Let's get as many people vaccinated.
As quickly as we possibly can.
And the one thing that I will guarantee, because we know this as a fact, not as a hypothesis, but as a fact, that the more people you get vaccinated, the more and more the infection rate is going to go down.
We've seen that with other infections, and we've seen that with other countries.
I mean, I gave a press conference a week or so ago where we showed the data from Israel is that as the vaccination numbers went up, the infections came right down.
So that's what we want to do.
We want to do as many people vaccinated as we possibly can and not focus on an elusive number that nobody even knows what that number is.
steve bannon
OK, OK, this guy is I mean, he is the biggest phony.
He sits right there.
And I realize you're a Rhodes Scholar, so you can pick this apart, Commander Greitens, but the whole thing, the concept is who's had the disease and has antibodies or maybe T-cells plus vaccines.
That combination gets us to herd immunity.
Whether that's herd immunity is 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%.
He makes the whole definition and then does not refer to at all the biggest part of the number, which would be people that actually had coronavirus and were fine.
eric greitens
And if you believe their numbers about the millions of people who've been infected, it would be absolute malpractice to not keep those people as part of your calculations.
This is why people stopped listening to Anthony Fauci a long time ago.
Because the logic isn't there anymore.
The logic train is broken and no one in the mainstream media is willing to ask him even the most basic questions.
Does the vaccine work?
If it works, then why are you telling people who've had it that they have to be wearing masks outside?
There's some super basic social distancing.
There's some super basic questions.
steve bannon
Go ahead, Mo.
maureen bannon
And why are we wearing masks inside for a joint speech against the joint sessions of Congress if you have all been vaccinated and the vaccine is effective?
Then why are you wearing not only one, but Nancy Pelosi had two masks on.
That's not giving any confidence that this shot is actually effective.
steve bannon
To her point, according to Rasmussen, 49% of the American people think you ought to wear a mask after you've had the vaccine.
eric greitens
Right.
And that's why, again, it's why nobody's listening to Anthony.
steve bannon
Do you think that though, he's on the mainstream media, you don't think that they've made him Saint Fauci and so they push him out so hard that obviously the progressive left worships this guy?
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
I realize Magus turned it out, but how do you then bridge the gap because he's sitting there as the high priest of scientism, not science, and coming out with his nonsense.
This is all driving, and I guess what they should be straightforward with us, if having the disease or having COVID-19, When it first came through here, and having antibodies, if there are other variants that that does not, you know, is not, and make you part of herd, then come forward and make that presentation from the Bradley Room and tell the American people.
But do you agree that has not been done?
eric greitens
No, that hasn't been done.
And in fact, what's infuriating is that they keep pushing this scientism.
It's not science.
Okay?
Some basic scientists would answer if Fauci was willing to tell some honest truths.
One of them is that the vaccine that they're pushing Of course, no longitudinal studies have been done on the vaccine over the course of years.
No one knows what the long-term effects on it will be.
I'm not saying that they're bad.
No one is saying that they're bad.
What we're saying is that an honest scientist would say, we don't know, because we don't know.
I'm not an anti-vaccine person.
I'm a pro-science person.
I'm a pro-logic person.
And Fauci's abandoned logic.
It's also clear that they are abandoning some of the most basic things that they have said.
For example, that this isn't affecting young kids.
So young kids should be in school.
So then they should be answering questions.
Why are they making five and six-year-olds wear masks and stay at home?
Why are they doing that?
How is that good for kids?
maureen bannon
And then why are they suggesting to get, Dr. Fauci said this, that by the end of the year, school-age children will have the vaccination.
So once again, you're flip-flopping with the data.
steve bannon
Okay, to her point, in Missouri, he said the other day, talking to Savannah Guthrie, who is asking, not as a left-wing journalist, but as a concerned mom about her little girl with the mask, he kind of says, oh, high school kids by this fall will start getting it as soon as they go back to school, and quote, school children will be vaccinated by the end of the year.
How is that going to play in Missouri?
unidentified
People are angry already, and they're just going to get angrier.
eric greitens
Okay, people know when they're being talked down to.
People know when they're not being shown all the facts.
Come out with a clear, rational presentation of your position, but the fact is they keep contradicting themselves almost day after day, and because of that, people are angry.
steve bannon
Rand Paul has been carrying the water at these hearings as Senator.
If you were a U.S.
Senator today, walk me through the questions you would ask Fauci if he showed up in front of a committee that you sat on.
eric greitens
Number one, does the vaccine work?
Yes or no?
Does it work?
You've been back and forth.
Does it work?
If it works, then tell me why you were telling people... What's your definition of work?
steve bannon
Fauci's going to give you the spin, right?
eric greitens
Right, so he's going to give you the spin, but you say... They say it's efficient, effective... The efficacy of X percent, X live... X percent, 90 percent, but you know... So yeah, so he gives you the spin, but you say, look, hey, talk to us like normal people, I get a measles vaccine.
My assumption is that I'm not going to get measles.
Tell me if we're talking to someone's 70, 80 year old mother or father who has underlying conditions who are clearly in at most risk of this, does the vaccine work?
And then if so, why are you having people who've been vaccinated wearing masks around?
Why does it make a difference for them if they've already been vaccinated?
That's number one.
Then let me actually make a point about Rand Paul.
He's done an incredible job on this.
One of the reasons why he's been so valuable there is that he's not a career politician.
He's a physician himself.
And he also has the intellectual confidence to go toe to toe with folks like Fauci and call out their BS and actually catch them in what they're saying.
steve bannon
You're a Rhodes Scholar, obviously a smart guy.
Can you understand when they talk about herd immunity?
And right now Biden just came out and a dictate is 70 percent of the country have at least one part of the vaccine by July 4th.
It doesn't make sense.
The math is coming here, and Fauci said this is a buried lead in an AP story.
Eventually, they're going to have to get to the adolescents, and they're going to have to get to the school kids, by their definition, to get to herd immunity.
What is going to be the blowback, I've got about a minute, blowback from parents when that happens?
eric greitens
Incredible blowback from parents, because you're saying, you're going to stick something in my kid that is, even by the FDA's own standards, experimental.
You're going to stick something in my kids when there is no data to talk about what the long-term effects are on children, when we do know for a fact that those kids are not affected by coronavirus.
So you're going to have tremendous blowback, again, because people are smarter than the left wants to give them credit for.
steve bannon
Is that what you're hearing when you've been touring around Missouri?
eric greitens
Yes, absolutely.
Look, people have tuned Fauci out a long time ago.
steve bannon
They have, in Missouri?
eric greitens
They have, because of all the contradictions.
steve bannon
Mo, you've got about 30 seconds here before you get a pop.
maureen bannon
So we saw the revolt with the parents and the school boards regarding masks.
I think it's going to be even bigger if the government's going to tell you that you have to give a shot to your child.
We will see parents like we have in Arizona and North Carolina.
And Dallas coming up all across the country that the government will not tell you what you have to do to my child, what I have to do to my child.
eric greitens
And let me let me add to this.
This is not because I know what the left's going to do.
They'll say, well, these are the people who don't want to give the measles vaccine.
That's not true.
OK.
These are our parents who are watching what's happening.
They don't trust Fauci, who's contradicted himself on masks, contradicted himself on vaccines, contradicted himself on schools.
They don't trust him any longer.
steve bannon
He needs to bring data, evidence, and science back into this conversation.
Okay, short commercial break.
We're going to have Heather Mullins, quick update on the voter issues throughout the country, and then Commander Greitens and Captain Benninger are going to talk to us about anarchy versus law and order in this country.
Be back in a second.
unidentified
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CC.
War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room Pandemic. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, we want to thank the team at MyPillow.

Make sure you go support Mike Lindell in the fight for freedom.
Okay, bringing Heather Mullins now.
She is focused on voter issues throughout the country, on audits, on all the laws that are being passed in these assemblies.
People like Florida are on fire.
I think in Kansas they had the overrode a veto of the governor.
Things are happening.
Real quickly, Heather, I want to go through a couple of states here.
I know they're out in Arizona today.
They're grinding.
As we've told people, this is going to take longer than people initially thought.
It's not going to get done anywhere near May 14th.
But people are grinding.
You can see it live on the live feed.
Let's go back to New Hampshire last night and today.
What's happening?
What's the latest update on New Hampshire?
unidentified
Yeah, so as we spoke about the other day, the Windhamtown Selectmen had a meeting last night and one of these Selectmen there had filed a motion for them to reconsider that man Mark Lindeman of Verified Voting because he was compromised.
And you have two scientific experts that were on the board for that group that resigned over their handling of Georgia, saying that they were Authenticating machines that were not trustworthy and pushing them on people that they were misrepresenting results of risk limiting audits and things of that nature.
And so last night there was a very very heated meeting where you had hundreds of people that originally the meeting took place at a little community building but was then moved to a high school to accommodate the large crowd.
And unfortunately, the chair of that election board actually came out mocking the crowd, asking them if they were afraid of science, saying that he was not going to change his vote for Mark Lindemann.
And I find that to be appalling, considering I myself sent them an email, the selectmen, Yesterday, saying that Phil Stark, UC Berkeley professor Phil Stark, had agreed to talk with them and tell them about his experience with verified voting and why he deemed them untrustworthy to the point where he did not want his name associated with the group any longer.
So again, two scientific experts refusing to be associated with that group.
And then you have this chair of the Wyndham Selectmen telling the audience, are you afraid of science?
No, we're afraid of the wrong people without integrity being put in charge of auditing anomalies in the recent election.
I mean, it just is as simple as that.
steve bannon
Now what we're hearing up there, and by the way, the reason Wyndham's important, if they can show these anomalies in Wyndham, the state legislature already voted unanimously to get on top of this.
You could actually have a rollout through the entire state.
We understand that Marilyn Todd and the others, I think they had 500 show up last night, have now put together a funding site and are going to raise money to hire Pulitzer as their own consultant.
Can you give us any update, anything you're hearing about that today?
unidentified
No, that's news to me, because literally this just happened last night.
But what I do know is that Pulitzer is actually one of the experts that are chosen by Garland Favorito's group in Georgia to conduct that audit, assuming that the judge unleashes the physical ballot.
So that's a whole other subject that I'd be happy to get into if we've got the time.
steve bannon
Yeah, I want to segue into Georgia for exactly that reason.
Tell us, give us the update, because remember, these dogfights that took place all over, the reason you've got 2.1 million ballots going through a hand forensic audit, they're re-canvassing, they're doing a forensic audit, they've already got the information on the machines, they're back analyzing that, the whole reason this is being done Is because Patriots stood up and said, we're not going to back down on this, and this is what you saw last night in New Hampshire, this is what you've seen in Georgia, and Georgia and New Hampshire are next.
Tell us about this huge fight they've got going on in Georgia right now.
unidentified
Yeah, so in Georgia right now, Garland Favoritos Group, Voter GA, they are, you know, doing some great work.
A judge so far has unsealed the digital ballot images that are in the Dominion machines themselves.
Unfortunately, the plaintiff's experts wanted 600 VPI, so a better quality images, which is why they wanted to scan the physical ballots themselves.
But they are saying that there could be some information that they'll get with the quality images they received.
Unfortunately, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger chose to file an amicus brief in this case, telling the judge that they didn't have the legal grounds to access those ballots and actually made it seem pretty intimidating, calling it a felony if anyone other than the officer appointed to deal with the ballots touched them.
The attorneys I've spoken with seem to think that he's blowing smoke.
But when you look at my interview that I recently did with Professor Phil Stark of UC Berkeley, the one who invented the risk-limiting audit, saying that in Georgia this group was not authenticating the paper trail before going and publishing the findings of their risk-limiting audit, that right there is enough for any judge to say, hey, they need to see the physical ballots because this group did not verify their authenticity
Patriots just got to keep their heads down and keep grinding.
steve bannon
Big court case today in Michigan where they're saying basically the same problem they got in Arizona and in Georgia and in Michigan.
Big win for the Trump team.
Heather, how do people get more access to you?
How do they follow you during the day?
unidentified
Yeah, so go.
I'm on Twitter a lot, at Talk Mullins, M-U-L-L-I-N-S.
Every other social media, it's the same handle, so find me.
Any new social media sites that come out, I'll be using the same handle.
steve bannon
Thank you very much, Heather.
I look forward to having you back on tomorrow.
This issue in Georgia, in New Hampshire, you had Montana.
We had the great, was it John Trott, the great gun guy was on here.
He's actually up in Montana looking at the situation in Montana, New Hampshire.
You've got Michigan, a court case today.
They're still up in Antrim County.
Mike Lindell said there's going to be big announcements coming out of Michigan either tonight or tomorrow.
We're standing by for that to have him on.
You've got Pennsylvania.
This thing is being fought all over and people are not backing down.
That's why Arizona is so important.
eric greitens
The reason also why they're not backing down, and Heather touched on it, was you had that guy who she explained came out and she was mocking the crowd.
People who made it a point.
steve bannon
You said you're irrelevant.
eric greitens
Irrelevant, don't you believe in science?
Right, why?
Because they're citizens who are concerned, who took time away from their day, from their job, from their family to show up because they care about the country.
And what do they get?
They get mocked.
And that's one of the reasons why this is continuing to go on.
Every time the mainstream media and the propaganda press refuses to answer legitimate questions with facts, And they instead mock people.
It just inflames people because people know that they're hiding.
steve bannon
You see what he said last night?
The biggest taunt he threw out is directly from MSNBC and CNN.
Oh, you guys don't believe in science.
You're the ones that breathe through your mouth.
The reason the country's not going to get to herd immunity is you.
You're a public safety hazard.
It's Fauci and now the voting.
And here's what I say.
We are data-based, we're evidence-based, and we're science-based.
Let's just want to get to the facts.
I want to pivot here for a second, and Captain Ben will get you in here.
Gritens, you're going around the state of Missouri.
One of the, I think, where we see the country and we see the MAGA movement is about stopping this anarchy.
Whether that anarchy is on the southern border in the Rio Grande Valley, where the Hispanic working class is now supporting us and part of this, or if it's in cities like St.
Louis.
eric greitens
St.
Louis, Kansas City.
steve bannon
In Minneapolis, you've got lawlessness and anarchy.
From New York City to Chicago are great cities.
Washington, DC, lawlessness and anarchy that's coming over from last summer.
It has not been stopped.
In many cases, it's worse and not being reported by the media.
What are people, as you go around Missouri, is this something that's at the top of their agenda?
eric greitens
Law and order is the number one issue.
It's the number one issue.
Not taxes, not anything else.
It is law and order because people have a very basic sense that without law and order you can't have anything else.
You can't have safe schools.
You can't have quality businesses.
You can't even go down to enjoy a St.
Louis Cardinals or a Kansas City Royals game When you don't have law and order.
People are watching.
They know that we had over 100 police officers murdered this calendar year already on duty.
And then they watch the mainstream media continue every single day to attack our police officers who are out there on the front lines.
And people have a very basic sense.
They know that our men and women in uniform, police service, fire service, first responders, they go out to do a dangerous job every night.
They put on a body armor.
They strap on a sidearm.
They go out into the night to protect others.
And they also know what's happening.
They know that when you attack these police officers, that what is happening when they cut the funding for police officers in cities across the country, you get the largest increase in the murder rate year on year and violent crimes happened in 2020 in American history.
Why is that happening?
It's happening because of all of these leftist attacks against the police.
steve bannon
Give me that stat again.
eric greitens
So if you look back since we started keeping statistics on the murder rate and violent crime rates, there's always a year-on-year change.
Some years it might go up, some years it might go down.
If you look at the change from 2019 to 2020, largest year-on-year increase in the murder rate in major American cities.
And another point that we want to make again, because we've got really, really sharp viewers and listeners who are out there.
One of the things that the left will say is, they'll say, well, if you actually look back at the murder rate in the 1990s, they'll say, well, you know, these cities are going back to where they were in the 1990s.
It's not true that we've never seen it this bad.
Well, one of the things, and it's Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman who actually makes this point.
He gets all the credit for it.
You have to medically adjust the murder rate.
What is that?
steve bannon
Medically adjusted murder rate?
eric greitens
Medically adjusted murder rate.
Let's talk about what that means.
In the Gulf War, in the early 1990s, there were things that guys died from that in 2001 their lives were saved.
Why?
Because medical technology had advanced and we were able to save people's lives.
steve bannon
You're saying there's certain gunshot wounds, etc., that would have killed you back then?
eric greitens
Gunshot wounds, explosions, knife wounds, things that might have killed you.
steve bannon
That because of our expertise on foreign battlefields, we're better at now with EMTs to keep people alive.
eric greitens
Yes, sir.
And you think about what's happened.
30 years of medical technology since the 1990s to 2020.
In fact, there are things that guys are guys are living through injuries in 2018-2019 that might have killed them in 2001.
Same things happening in the civilian world.
So what does that mean?
It means it takes more violence to create one murder now than it did in 1990.
Just like you adjust for inflation, you have to look at a medically adjusted murder rate.
And the basic point is that when you look at what's happening, you have a massive increase in violence to create that same number of murders.
And what is happening is that we have our police who are being targeted, civilians are being hit, and just like I made the point before about the heartlessness of the left, we need to talk about how each one of these statistics is a family.
I was, last July, I was in Missouri.
steve bannon
In often case a minority family.
eric greitens
That's right, that's right.
steve bannon
Hispanic or African American, which they never want to talk about.
eric greitens
Exactly.
In fact, you know, I was on Tucker Carlson's show, talking about how when I was governor we defeated Antifa, and we can talk about that another time.
You don't need to lose the battle to Antifa, you can defeat them.
We were talking about it.
After that, I went out to dinner, right there in the city of St.
Louis, next to where the studio Yes.
And I'm having dinner with a buddy.
15 to 25 automatic gunshots go off.
Sounds just like Iraq, Afghanistan.
My buddy and I, we grabbed our firearms.
I carry a med kit in my car.
Jumped in my car.
We drove about 50 yards.
Came on the scene.
Unfortunately, there were two young men who were shot and killed that night.
I went and I visited their families because they wanted to know, of course, what their sons' and their brothers' final moments were like.
And you talk to them and you recognize this is going to affect their families for the rest of their lives.
But one moment of courage from that, the first young man who died that night, his brother in the city of St.
Louis is about a week away from graduating from the St.
Louis Police Academy.
That's what he decided to do.
There's tremendous courage out there.
Tremendous courage out there in the American people.
We need to have politicians who are willing to reflect that same courage.
People are willing to fight for their country.
steve bannon
Short commercial break.
We'll be back with Maureen Bannon and Commander Gritens in the War Room in just a moment.
unidentified
War Room, pandemic, with Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room, pandemic, here's your host Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Look, whatever you think of Dr. Fauci and his herd immunity calculation, the one thing we've learned the last year is incumbent upon you out there through your own agency to boost your immune system.
Go to WarmDefense.com today.
We've got the vitamin D3.
We've got the zinc.
It's free, but you've got to pay shipping and handling.
But there's information about your immune system, how you boost it.
Remember, the show is about giving you the tools and knowledge to execute on your own agency.
Action, action, action.
The work on oneself begins with oneself.
Go today to warrendefense.com and get the vitamin D3 in the zinc.
Okay, Captain Ben, I know you have something to say about the cops and the law enforcement.
What do you got?
maureen bannon
I do.
So like we've addressed, it's roughly 100 line of duty deaths since January 1st, and we rarely, rarely hear about that in mainstream media.
I mean, there were a few news networks, That discuss the officer that was executed in New Mexico and we addressed it on this show a couple weeks ago.
However, we rarely hear about that.
And if we do, it's maybe for a five minute hit and then, and then it's done and they don't talk about it again, but we go talk about certain officer involved shootings for months, weeks, years, you know, and so it's not, people want to know that the people that serve, serve to protect us.
That they're actually being taken care of.
steve bannon
Well, I think that's what you're talking about.
The people now standing up now, you think they're tired of this anarchy?
Because somebody said New York City and Chicago are out of control.
eric greitens
New York City and Chicago are out of control, I'm hearing that.
But look, even in places like St.
Louis and Kansas City.
I can tell you, I was back in Missouri, there were people in the suburbs of St.
Louis And in Southeast Missouri, who you could count on to go to four or five Cardinal ball games every year, and they've said, I'm not going.
I'm not going.
They watched during the summer of 2020 as Kim Gardner, a Soros-funded prosecutor, refused to prosecute people who beat peaceful protesters who were in prayer.
They came in and they beat them and no one was prosecuted.
steve bannon
This is around the St.
Louis statue?
unidentified
Around the St.
eric greitens
Louis statue.
Outrageous.
Outrageous.
They watched the murders.
They watched the looting.
They watched the arson.
And people are saying, I'm not taking my family there.
Part of the idea of going to a ball game is that you want to be able to relax.
You want to enjoy yourself.
You don't want to park the car and be worried every step of the way, walking to the ballpark, that somebody's going to assault you.
steve bannon
Is that a certain effect, even the cardinal management, about this?
eric greitens
You know, I don't know.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure that I haven't talked to them recently, so I can't say.
But I can tell you this.
Business leaders across the state recognize this is a serious problem.
It's hard to recruit talent.
It's hard to run a business.
Insurance costs go up.
steve bannon
The cities are so great to live in, but you've got to have law and order.
Mo, you got something for us?
maureen bannon
Well, I was just going to say, in Portland, an ICE facility was set fire to with federal agents inside and no one was prosecuted from Antifa.
It's from Antifa that did that. But here we are putting police officers that have to make decisions, split-second decisions, you know, blasting them all over mainstream media, you know, Hollywood's putting them out there and trying to vilify them as well.
steve bannon
As heroes.
In two minutes, how did you put down Antifa as the governor?
eric greitens
Okay, it's super simple.
First, you start with the Constitution.
As a Navy SEAL, you served, Captain Bannon served, we protect everyone's constitutional rights.
What does that mean?
It means you begin with everyone has the constitutional right to freedom of speech.
Everyone has the constitutional right to freedom of assembly.
You were allowed to peacefully protest and redress your grievances Yes, and what I said was if you were out doing that peacefully you will find and our police officers an extraordinary job You will find that our police officers are out there protecting you and indeed they did they were out there Protecting peaceful protesters handing them water making sure they were safe from traffic.
I was also Extraordinarily clear that throwing a brick through a window is not free speech It's not free speech, and if you do it, you're going to be arrested.
And if you assault a law enforcement officer, you're going to go to jail.
steve bannon
If you attack an ICE facility, you're going to get rolled up.
eric greitens
You're going to get it.
And here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
It's very, very simple.
One of the problems was, and it started in Ferguson, Missouri.
You remember, that was the beginning of the whole Black Lives Matter movement, this whole anti-police movement.
What happened there was that the governor at the time said, we want to give people a, quote, safe space to loot And to burn.
And I said, when I'm governor, if you loot, if you burn, the only safe space you're going to have is in a jail cell.
And what we did was we brought up the prison buses from Southeast Missouri.
So there was no worry we could arrest people.
And by the third night, we arrested over 100 people.
And Antifa left.
And at the end of the day, they'd overturned some potted plants.
They'd broken a few windows.
And there were a couple concerts that were canceled.
That was it.
You can't defeat that.
steve bannon
I want to say, when you were at the restaurant and went outside to grab your weapon and your medevac, you want to have Greitensnier at hand.
There was a thing down at Mar- I don't want to give too much to you- at Mar-a-Lago, where they had a patron that had a problem, and you saved his life.
eric greitens
Well, thank you, sir.
I did what any of us would do.
steve bannon
If you're at a restaurant, if you're walking to see Greitens, you're going to be in good shape.
Real quickly, I notice you've been telling me, you know, Darren Beattie is a regular on here from Revolver.
I notice you're always texting me saying, hey, you see this article on Revolver?
They've become quite a news site.
eric greitens
Revolver's outstanding.
That's an outstanding site.
They've got incredible articles there.
Congratulations to that whole team on what they've built.
I've been sending you articles from there.
I've been sending other people articles from there.
They're doing a really, really good job.
steve bannon
We've got about a minute.
You're going back to Missouri?
unidentified
What's the story?
steve bannon
You're touring Missouri in May?
unidentified
Yeah, look, the big story is we've got incredible grassroots support from people across the state of Missouri.
eric greitens
They are coming out.
unidentified
They are fired up.
eric greitens
We talked about courage being contagious.
People are coming out because I'm a fighter.
They know that I fought for them as a Navy SEAL, as a veteran leader, as their governor, and they want a fighter in the United States Senate.
It's been a lot of fun.
People are not afraid of the mainstream media anymore.
They're not afraid of the establishment.
We're fighting together, and we're going to take our country back.

maureen bannon
It's Maureen underscore Bannon on Twitter and real Maureen Bannon on the gram, like Boris says.
And I need to say that we need to have, you can peacefully protest, but if you don't, that is not, that will not be tolerated in this country.
