The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| So you don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| Which you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| That this is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room. | ||

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Now with over 55 million downloads on the podcast, of course, we're live everywhere for the evening show and in the morning also on the satellite and on cable, radio throughout the nation, of course, in Mandarin on GNU's GTV, on Roku, Pluto, Rumble, Gab, all of it, every platform you can possibly get to. | ||
| It is Thursday, the 27th of May, the Year of Our Lord 2021. | ||
| We're going live to Dalton, Georgia. | ||
| There is an intense and large America First rally tonight, sponsored by Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| She now joins us from the site. | ||
| Congressman Greene, I've seen and following your Twitter feed today, you've been out with your constituents all day talking to business people, talking to people that are constituents. | ||
| What's the feedback that you're hearing about where the country is right now and what Washington, D.C., and particularly the Biden administration and the establishment Republicans, what's the sense you get from the people in northern Georgia, ma'am? | ||
| Well, I have to tell you, Steve, people here in my district are real Americans. | ||
| These are people that work hard every single day in their businesses, in their jobs. | ||
| They're doing everything they can to raise their kids right. | ||
| They truly care about our American values and our freedoms. | ||
| And people right here at home are absolutely disgusted at what's happening in the swamp. | ||
| You've got Joe Biden has ripped our borders wide open. | ||
| He's not doing anything about China. | ||
| He could care less about the Middle East, which is completely unstable. | ||
| And now he is, you know, turned a blind eye to our energy industry, which affects our entire country. | ||
| And so people right here at home are worried. | ||
| Our businesses are suffering. | ||
| We don't have enough workers because the federal government has been too busy paying people to stay home. | ||
| And they've had to put up with their kids being out of school last year, and now we're just seeing everything unravel and fall apart. | ||
| So my district here at home in Georgia, which just represents what real America is all about, wants to see a change in Washington, and they would absolutely love to have President Trump right back in the White House. | ||
| I want to go to, you know, you came on a couple of months ago when you first got up here and you had this methodology that I had told people. | ||
| I said, what she's doing is pretty brilliant. | ||
| And she's using every available tool in the toolbox to slow things down. | ||
| And she's trying to slow things down so things can be reviewed and discussed and put out in the media and can have analysis and like our audience can become force multipliers and get the word out. | ||
| And tomorrow, It's already been leaked. | ||
| Tomorrow, Joe Biden is going to drop a $6 trillion budget just for this year. | ||
| It doesn't really account for everything. | ||
| When you add it up, our math is they'll spend, you know, or he'll have spending, if everything passes, of over $11 trillion. | ||
| And so what are your thoughts about that? | ||
| How is this going to be stopped now? | ||
| Since nobody really had your back about slowing this down initially, like they don't fear the opposition. | ||
| They don't fear the Republicans. | ||
| They just think they can steamroll it. | ||
| They're never called into account. | ||
| And you can see this because the payoff is going to come tomorrow when Biden's just going to send up a $6 trillion budget for this year. | ||
| Yeah, well, you can see why they don't fear the Republicans. | ||
| The Republicans don't do anything to stop the radical socialist Democrats. | ||
| So why should they fear them? | ||
| They know exactly how to run the playbook. | ||
| What they do is they rush their bills as fast as possible. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi runs her conference with an iron grip. | ||
| She even protects the Jihad Squad, the most anti-Semitic women in Congress. | ||
| And then they ram through their bills and Joe Biden is just sitting there waiting to sign them in. | ||
| This is what they want. | ||
| They want socialism in America and they have to do it as fast as possible before the American people realize what's happening. | ||
| But the biggest problem is they have the media on their side. | ||
| And so the media plays a giant role in this whole transition for America to become a socialist country. | ||
| The media covers up the real truth and the media lies. | ||
| And they attack people like me, Matt Gaetz, and any strong conservative that's actually putting the people first. | ||
| And so, yes, I saw this coming because I'm a successful businesswoman. | ||
| And the way the government should be run is like a business. | ||
| It should be serving its customer, which is the American people, but instead it's serving itself, the disgusting, filthy swamp in Washington, D.C. | ||
| that is basically an economy of its own, and it's an economy that cares nothing about the American people. | ||
| Congressman, I want to go to being a business person and talk about balancing books and how you run it. | ||
| The buried lead in the New York Times story today about the budget that Biden's going to put forth. | ||
| In a couple of years, this is going to be paid for by what they call monetizing the debt or the people in the country will actually own the debt. | ||
| In other words, you only sell so many trillion dollars of bonds to the Japanese or the Chinese. | ||
| Taxes can only be increased so much, and obviously he's going to have to have a massive tax increase. | ||
| But at the end of the day, they're just going to print money. | ||
| Because we're the prime reserve currency, you do have the luxury of printing money. | ||
| Now it's got to be paid back. | ||
| Do folks down there in Georgia, are your constituents worried about not just the radical nature of the spending, But really, the most radical part of his program is how it's going to be paid for. | ||
| It's basically going to be paid for on the backs of the people, future generations, your children and grandchildren. | ||
| This thing's going to blow through $30 trillion of debt on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve. | ||
| It's going to blow through like no one's ever seen before. | ||
| Are they generally concerned about where this administration, this radical agenda on the finances and basically the economy of the United States? | ||
| Absolutely, because here at home in my district, this is the land of small businesses and small business owners that know exactly what debt will do to your business. | ||
| It will destroy you. | ||
| You can't carry debt for a long time and expect to be successful. | ||
| You have to be able to make a profit to reinvest in your business in order to grow. | ||
| And what Joe Biden is doing with his massive $6 trillion budget is he's going to basically chain the American people with debt. | ||
| And then he's going to push it down the road so that these generations right now aren't thinking about it, but it's going to crush our children and our grandchildren. | ||
| And here's how. | ||
| He wants to raise capital gains taxes. | ||
| Capital gains taxes so that he can take the wealth, take the money from the people that are successful and the people that would be investing this money back into their businesses, giving bonuses to their employees and growing our economy and building our jobs. | ||
| He also wants to do something with death taxes. | ||
| And this is something that most Americans don't think matter because they just think it applies to the wealthy. | ||
| But it is going to have traumatizing effects. | ||
| And it really, truly does affect the middle class and basically any American. | ||
| And here's why. | ||
| These death taxes. | ||
| They want to completely cut off generational wealth transfer. | ||
| And if they can cut off generational wealth transfer to the next generation by taxing estates and taxing when someone dies and they're trying to leave money to their children, if they can raise the taxes very high on that and bring the threshold down, I believe they're wanting to bring it to $3.5 million. | ||
| It's very dangerous. | ||
| And here's why. | ||
| People think $3.5 million is a lot of money and they think that doesn't apply to them. | ||
| But when that generational wealth transfers to the next generation, that means businesses won't be created. | ||
| That means these people have to sell their family farms because they can't go into debt to pay those taxes. | ||
| That means small businesses will have to be sold. | ||
| And that means that those businesses will be lost forever because that transfer of wealth doesn't happen. | ||
| So you see, it is a big issue. | ||
| The way he wants to tax Americans with capital gains taxes, taxing the highest income earners in the country, and then these high, outrageous death taxes, which is money that's already been taxed, will truly affect every single American because the outcome, it will be crushing our economy, crushing our jobs, and crushing our future, our children's future. | ||
| And it won't be 10 years down the road. | ||
| We're literally talking about just a few years down the road. | ||
| You see Joe Biden and his administration with six trillion dollars in spending. | ||
| This is a big fat socialist program. | ||
| So he's wanting to finish off what was started just decades ago. | ||
| He's wanting to finish it off and turn us into a socialist government, a government laden with debt, the people laden with debt, and then other countries owning so much of our debt. | ||
| And this is something that we won't be able to overcome. | ||
| And the most disgusting thing they're doing, Steve, is they're using climate justice as the cause for it. | ||
| And that's what's in the Green New Deal. | ||
| And they're also using the woke religion of COVID as their excuses for why this is important. | ||
| And then they're lying about infrastructure and they're calling things infrastructure that have never been infrastructure. | ||
| So Joe Biden and his presidency is he's a deranged old man that is the most dangerous person to ever become our president in the White House. | ||
| I noticed you mentioned the COVID, the cult of COVID. | ||
| Josh Hawley just had a bill passed by unanimous consent to demand and force the DNI, Director of National Intelligence, to declassify immediately all intelligence we have about the Wuhan lab and about its connection with the CCP virus. | ||
| Dr. Fauci's been getting lit up the last couple of days and Republicans are now sitting there saying, It's time for him to either resign or be fired. | ||
| I noticed that you, I think tweeted out today, fire Fauci in one of your hashtags. | ||
| What is your perception right now of where we stand with getting to the bottom of what the Chinese Communist Party did in Wuhan, Fauci's involvement, and what's your recommendation about Dr. Fauci? | ||
| Well, I've recommended to fire Fauci and that's why I introduced legislation over a month ago to fire him. | ||
| He's the highest paid federal employee. | ||
| He has a higher salary than the president. | ||
| Most Americans don't realize that. | ||
| He is completely unhinged and no one holds him back. | ||
| And you see what the information in the news that's coming out about the Wuhan lab is information that many of us knew last year. | ||
| It's what President Trump was telling us. | ||
| It's what was obvious. | ||
| When you had the lab workers to be the first ones to come down with COVID, well, there's the clue. | ||
| They got it from the lab with the dangerous viruses they were creating there. | ||
| But here's the real problem. | ||
| China lied about it. | ||
| China tried to cover it up, and then they allowed their people to fly all over the world, basically being human spreaders of COVID-19. | ||
| I mean, you could consider that basically an attack through germs, through viruses. | ||
| And what did it do to America? | ||
| It crushed us. | ||
| And it crushed us at a time when we were winning back against China, because President Trump was finally holding China accountable. | ||
| And we were the ones that were putting our businesses first, which we should be doing all along. | ||
| We should be putting Americans first. | ||
| And so President Trump's policies were 100% right, and I'm so glad Josh Hawley got that passed in the Senate. | ||
| We must investigate China. | ||
| We must expose what they've done, and we can't allow the WHO to be the one running the investigation like Joe Biden wants, because China funds the WHO. | ||
| So it's absolutely ridiculous. | ||
| And you know, I want to go a step further, Steve. | ||
| I also introduce articles of impeachment on Joe Biden, and this exposes him for exactly who he is. | ||
| He's loyal to foreign countries. | ||
| He's loyal to the countries that his son, Hunter Biden, has business deals with. | ||
| And this is another reason why China is so dangerous for America, because we have a president right now in the White House of the United States of America who is not loyal to us, per se. | ||
| He's loyal to his son, Hunter, and that makes him weak. | ||
| That makes him vulnerable. | ||
| That makes him completely available for abuse of power, and that means he can be bought off. | ||
| Once again, you've been ahead of the curve on this fire Fauci. | ||
| A month ago, when you put this legislation in, did Kevin McCarthy, any of the leadership call you and say, hey, that sounds interesting. | ||
| What do you got to do to back it up? | ||
| Did anybody sit down a month ago? | ||
| Now they're all calling for it. | ||
| You're always ahead of the curve. | ||
| A month ago, when you put that legislation in, did McCarthy call you and say, come over, have a cup of coffee, explain to me what you want to do? | ||
| No, absolutely not. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy is more interested in promoting the freshman members of Congress who are in vulnerable seats because he wants them to get re-elected. | ||
| And so he doesn't really care about policy or bills or the right thing to do. | ||
| He's more interested in being Speaker of the House. | ||
| So his only focus is taking back the House and winning the majority. | ||
| Which is something that we need to do, but we don't need to be the Republican Party that takes back the House and wins the majority. | ||
| We're going to have live coverage of this huge rally. | ||
| How do people get to your site? | ||
| How do they find out more about you? | ||
| How do they get to Twitter, Congressman? | ||
| a Republican-controlled Congress that is focused on the American people and focused on America First policies. | ||
| We're going to have live coverage of all this huge rally. | ||
| How do people get to your site? | ||
| How do they find out more about you? How do they get to Twitter, Congressman? I know you got to bounce. | ||
| Yeah, my Twitter is at MTGreenE. | ||
| It has two E's on the end. | ||
| You can follow me there. | ||
| You can also go to my website at Marjorie Taylor Green. | ||
| Green with an E on the end. | ||

| Hey, and if you're local around here, come on down to the Dalton Convention Center. | ||
| People are starting to show up. | ||
| It's going to be so much fun, and we have a lot to say tonight. | ||
| This is not what you hear on the news. | ||
| This is not what you see with little sound bites. | ||
| Matt Gaetz and I are going to deliver America First, and we've got a lot of great stories to tell, so I hope to see everyone tonight. | ||
| We're doing a whole hour of pregame for Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene's rally night, America First, in Dalton, Georgia. | ||

| Set the stage. | ||
| This rally is going to be intense tonight. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, I think, are going to throw down. | ||
| I want to talk to you in a second about this whole Paul Ryan situation and Fauci and what happened with Hawley. | ||
| But set the stage for us before we go to Heather Mullins with breaking news. | ||
| Well, first and foremost, Steve, I want the audience to know that I have finally figured out that the way for me to get airtime is to go on location and do reports down the line. | ||
| So here I am in Georgia. | ||
| We are at the Dalton Convention Center. | ||
| People are pouring in behind me right now. | ||
| You have hundreds of people pouring in. | ||
| The doors have just opened, by the way. | ||
| The media is setting up around me. | ||
| You can hear the old Trump rally music is playing behind me. | ||
| And, of course, the stage is set for Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| Whose birthday, I believe it is. | ||
| Happy birthday, Congressman Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz to take the stage. | ||
| Now, of course, the pair are, you know, embroiled in their kind of... | ||
| This stuff that always gets dragged out about them and they've... Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't shy away from saying what she believes. | ||
| So you can expect that from her here tonight as well. | ||
| I think Matt Gaetz as well. | ||
| I spoke to him earlier. | ||
| He's incredibly fired up. | ||
| Incredibly happy to be here. | ||
| And I've never been here before. | ||
| This kind of beautiful terrain around us. | ||
| This mountain side here that we have. | ||
| It's scorching hot here in Georgia and people are pouring into the convention hall right now. | ||
| Of course, there's a lot to talk about and there's a lot to talk about locally. | ||
| There's a lot to talk about in terms of constitutional carry in the Second Amendment rights that many Georgians are concerned about right now in their state. | ||
| Of course, the election fraud and the election audits that they want rolling out all around the country. | ||
| So, I think it's going to be a very special event tonight, Steve. | ||
| Rahim, I'm coming right back to you. | ||
| I want to bring Heather Mullins in. | ||
| Heather is the reporter at Real America's Voice, been covering the audits all over the country, doing a great job in Arizona, particularly great job up in New Hampshire. | ||
| She's got stunning breaking news coming out of Georgia. | ||
| As we said today, the freight trains left the station. | ||
| Rachel Maddow knew that. | ||
| Heather, what's this news? | ||
| You've got, I think, a four or five siren on your Twitter feed. | ||
| Tell us what's going on in Georgia that just happened. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, Steve, so I just got here to Georgia and I planned on staying through tomorrow because originally, as you know, a judge in Fulton County unsealed about 150,000 ballots and they ended up bringing in the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections into this case. | |
| They're needed in order to access those ballots. | ||
| Well, tomorrow they were supposed to be meeting with the attorneys for the plaintiffs to determine how that process was going to go in terms of accessing them, but yesterday they filed a request for stay of proceedings and this filing that represents the Board of Registration and Elections, they are represented by two of Georgia's top criminal defense attorneys. | ||
| Now, mind you, Steve, this is a civil case and they are consulting and hiring criminal defense attorneys. | ||
| Now, these One of them, in particular, Donald Samuel, actually taught a class at Georgia State University on white-collar criminal proceedings. | ||
| Now, this is a very big deal. | ||
| He's also known for being the co-counsel for Ray Lewis back in 2000 on a double murder charge. | ||
| So this guy is infamous for representing not-so-good people and is now representing the Fulton County Board of Elections in this case, trying to halt the case from moving forward. | ||
| Hey, by the way, if you're a Ravens fan, don't be giving any stink out of Ray Lewis. | ||
| I want to say, Heather, this is unbelievable. | ||
| They're represented by some of the top white-collar criminal lawyers, and they're asking to shut this thing down for right now. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
| Is that the way I read this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, so they're trying to halt the proceeding. | |
| What they filed in this, in here, they're saying that the Fulton County Board of Registration Elections was not properly served in the case since they became a party by the judge's order and that they've had no time to file dispositions and motions and sort of defend themselves in the matter. | ||
| So basically what Fulton County is trying to do is buy time here, but the judge is treading carefully. | ||
| What he doesn't want to have happen is once they move forward to have something jeopardize the case on an appeal. | ||
| So he's taking every single thing filed in this case very seriously. | ||
| But I mean it just speaks volumes that they decided to hire criminal defense attorneys to represent them moving forward. | ||
| Heather, as you and I have talked, whether it's New Hampshire, whether it is Arizona and now in Georgia, the authorities who should be open to say, let's go through this and make sure everything's on the up and up and then we can put November 3rd, 2020 to bed. | ||
| Everywhere you look, There's one roadblock after the other. | ||
| They're using the courts to slow things down. | ||
| They're clearly panicked. | ||
| We know the mainstream media is. | ||
| We know MSNBC and Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, that crowd, absolutely panicked. | ||
| This is once again, in fact, last night on her show, she actually called for the Justice Department to step in, Civil Rights Division, the Justice Department to step in and get a universal solution for this nationwide. | ||
| Have actually Biden's Justice Department defend the legitimacy questions about his presidency. | ||
| And now you're saying they're actually hiring criminal top and these are not average. | ||
| These are top criminal white collar criminal defense lawyers to get involved here and to either try to slow this down or shut it down. | ||
| Are you seeing this throughout the rest of the country also as these as these authorities who should be working with these outside groups and working with these Patriot groups to get to the bottom of it? | ||
| They're going to court. | ||
| They're trying to shut things down. | ||
| And this is their strategy. | ||
| What say you, Heather? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, every state that I've covered is different, right? | |
| Like, what happened and what I uncovered in New Hampshire is very, very different than what I'm uncovering here in Georgia. | ||
| Georgia, without a doubt, has had a lot of unanswered questions, a lot of shadiness, a lot of lack of transparency. | ||
| I mean, the ballots in question here that we're going to have access to are the very ballots that you saw being pulled out from underneath the table at State Farm Arena. | ||
| After Regina Fuller from Fulton County told observers to go home and John Solomon from Just the News had obtained emails through a FOIA request that shows they were talking about this internally, saying that observers were being sent home. | ||
| Uh, and then, lo and behold, at 1 o'clock in the morning, people are in the State Farm Arena scanning in ballots? | ||
| I mean, this just doesn't make any sense, and apparently the judge in Henry County agreed, and this is why he's unsealed this ballot. | ||
| That, and based on a number of affidavits in the case. | ||
| And so we're this close to getting answers and now all of a sudden more filings from the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections and their two brand new criminal defense attorneys. | ||
| So it's going to be very, very interesting to see how this moves forward next week, Steve. | ||
| We told the Patriots we're going to grind through this. | ||
| Heather, how do people find you on Twitter? | ||
| You're covering this non-stop. | ||
| What's your other social media? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, so I'm on all social media at Talk Mullins, and I'm going to be following this very closely, just like I did the New Hampshire audit, which I'm still following. | |
| Still some unanswered questions there, but any other states that come up with audits, I'm going to be watching them closely, so follow me on Twitter. | ||
| Thank you Heather Mullins, Real America's Voice, great breaking news. | ||
| Okay, let's go. | ||
| Can we go back to Raheem Kassam. | ||
| Raheem, this is, I want to tell the whole audience, you got the Heather Mullins, you got the Natalie Winters, you got these young firebrands that are just on top of these things. | ||
| It's just amazing to be able to work with these people and to see the great work they're doing. | ||
| Raheem, Give us your sense. | ||
| I got a lot to talk to you about, particularly about Paul Ryan. | ||
| The speech is going to be given out in California tonight. | ||
| But I got to ask you, you're on the ground there. | ||
| Is this another situation of trying to use the courts to slow things down or shut things down, sir? | ||
| Well of course, and you know, make no doubt about it that when the political establishment that has tried to deny, I mean think about the things that we've seen denied over the last year, two years, whether it's whatever happened on November 3rd, whatever happened to the Wuhan lab, all of these other things that are coming out and that we will find out about. | ||
| The one thing that the political establishment fears the most Are rooms like this, rooms like this that I'm in right now, where hundreds of Patriots are coming together and I'll say what I said last week on the show. | ||
| They're not just coming to see Marjorie Taylor Greene or Matt Gaetz. | ||
| They're coming to see each other. | ||
| They're coming to exchange information, to be warm and friendly and kind with each other. | ||
| You know, looking around the room here, I can sort of play Spot the establishment news reporter because it's face, you know, face shields and masks, whereas everybody else is just here and hugging and embracing and being together, together as patriots. | ||
| The energy in this room is amazing. | ||
| We've got War Room fans right here. | ||
| Say hello, sir. | ||
|

|
Hello, I love war room pandemic with Rahim Kassam and Occasionally Can you go back on a pandemic Rahim Kassam, I'd hold it Rahim can you go back I want to talk to your agent right there. | |
| I'm so glad he made it to Dalton, Georgia. | ||
| That's my dad! | ||
| Rahim, I want you to hang around. | ||
| We're going to get Gates on here after the break, but I've got to ask you this question. | ||
| You've got a minute. | ||
| Paul Ryan is leaked to CNN. | ||
| He's having, on the day of the America First rally, he's giving a talk at the Reagan Library tonight. | ||
| They're saying the problem is we've got too much populism, too much Trump, too many Marjorie Taylor Greene's, and too many people that are in that arena tonight. | ||
| Convention Center. | ||
| What say you, sir? | ||
| You couldn't have a better messenger for that. | ||
| I mean, he's a loser. | ||
| He's a proven loser. | ||
| He was a loser in Congress. | ||
| He was a loser when he was in charge of the party. | ||
| He was a loser when he ran for high office. | ||
| And I don't know what you have a network executive now going out there and making political speeches. | ||
| I thought he was done with politics. | ||
| So I think people will not look kindly on that, but I'm quite pleased that the curtain is being drawn back in the executive boardrooms of some other networks there. | ||
| Raheem, stick around. | ||
| We're taking a short commercial break. | ||
| We return. | ||
| Congressman Matt Gaetz, the other top of the bill in Dalton, Georgia, tonight. | ||
| The America First Tour continues. | ||
| We're going to continue with Matt Gaetz. | ||
| We've got Raheem Kassam and a couple of surprises at the bottom of the hour. | ||

| Matt Gaetz, Congressman Gaetz, the other part of the ticket down there. | ||
| Congressman, I've got a lot to go through before your rally starts. | ||
| I appreciate you taking a few minutes. | ||
| Tonight, Paul Ryan. | ||
| Out at the Reagan Library on the West Coast is giving a throw-down speech. | ||
| There's too much populism. | ||
| There's too much Trump. | ||
| There's a cult of personality. | ||
| These populist policies don't work. | ||
| There's too much America First. | ||
| It's an anti-MAGA speech. | ||
| What say you, sir? | ||
|

|
I have a question. | |
| I'm going to ask you a question. | ||
| And I'm going to ask you to answer it. | ||
| You know, I'm going to ask you to answer it. | ||
| I'm going to ask you to answer it. | ||
| They're patriotism. | ||
| Paul Ryan is one of the worst speakers of the House ever. | ||
| Paul Ryan didn't do anything to fight on immigration. | ||
| He was for every bad trade deal that allowed China to abuse the system to re-flag their products in other countries. | ||
| And Paul Ryan is the reason we didn't repeal Obamacare. | ||
| Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump gave Paul Ryan the opportunity to implement his better way to bring forward a health care bill and he totally flopped on it. | ||
| So Paul Ryan will criticize the cult of personality, but it's just because Paul Ryan has no personality. | ||
| The rally that Marjorie Taylor Greene and I are hosting in Georgia tonight, this is the place for the big ideas. | ||
| This is the place where we're talking about realigning our trade, having an immigration policy that actually works for our businesses, for our workers, for the people in America. | ||
| And not having a foreign policy that wants to invade every cave and wherever a stand and spill American blood forever and for unknowable gain. | ||
| That was the Republican Party that Paul Ryan stood for. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| I'm glad, Steve, that he's given the speech because it gives us something to post up against. | ||
| It gives us the ability to say to the American people, There are two clear visions for the Republican Party. | ||
| One is the Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Cheneyista vision of the party where we invade everywhere and invite everyone across our borders illegally. | ||
| And the other vision is that championed by Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene and myself and Ron DeSantis and Jim Jordan. | ||
| Those of us who believe that this is an exciting political realignment where The leaders are no longer the people with the fancy titles in Washington. | ||
| The leaders are the patriots who are showing up to our America First rally tour, who are demanding better of their government, and are starting by demanding election integrity. | ||
| And that's why it's so important we're in Georgia tonight. | ||
| I want to just take our audience back to 2016. | ||
| Everybody said we were six points down, eight points down, ten points down, regardless, we're losing in Florida. | ||
| Every time we go to Florida, and we were literally carpet bombing down there those last three weeks, every time we'd go down there, Matt Gaetz, a young guy running for Congress, would be there, would be at our side, would be supportive, would be helping to talk about how you're going to turn out the vote, what are we going to do here, and the panhandle of western Florida was unbelievable. | ||
| It's the key to why we won at 16. | ||
| Paul Ryan, not only did he abandon the President on Billy Bush Weekend, which you can tell all the cowards that didn't believe when I said Billy Bush Weekend, this is not what this is about. | ||
| This is about the managed decline of our country. | ||
| But, most importantly, on the weekend leading up to the 16th victory, on that Sunday, I think we did 7 or 8 stops, the centerpiece of that was supposed to be Wisconsin. | ||
| I get a call on Thursday before that weekend saying Paul Ryan said you can't come. | ||
| We're down three and a half, four points. | ||
| You're going to lose. | ||
| He can't afford another loss. | ||
| He already lost the state when he ran as vice president. | ||
| He can't afford another loss. | ||
| And I said, what are you talking about? | ||
| We've got this. | ||
| We're right over the target. | ||
| We have to do this rally. | ||
| Paul Ryan adamant. | ||
| I won't be on stage. | ||
| I won't let anybody be on stage. | ||
| This is a gutless coward. | ||
| And if we had left it to Paul Ryan in 16, we would not have won. | ||
| And we would not have dragged all those dead carcasses across the goal in the Senate to take the House and the Senate and the Presidency, the trifecta, against all odds. | ||
| And one of the big odds was Paul Ryan. | ||
| Matt, you were there with us. | ||
| You remember that time. | ||
| You're too modest to talk about it. | ||
| You were a fighter that was there with us. | ||
| Then what was it like to be under this guy in the debacle? | ||
| That he made the Trump program in the House of Representatives, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Paul Ryan never understood the America First movement, and to the extent that he understood any part of it, he has disdain for it. | |
| You see, Paul Ryan has a view of governance where if all of the really smart people get together in Washington D.C. | ||
| and New York, they can make decisions that govern the lives of the rest of us, and we should all just be okay with that. | ||
| There was a lot that Paul Ryan wanted us to have to suffer through. | ||
| I think another prime example of his cowardice is his approach to the Russia hoax. | ||
| Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, Ron DeSantis, myself, from the very beginning, we said this was fake. | ||
| This was an effort to distract our country from the important economic nationalism that you were championing as a senior White House advisor at that time, as the chief strategist. | ||
| But instead, Paul Ryan said, no, we had to go empower Robert Mueller. | ||
| And then we just had to hope that Donald Trump hadn't done anything illegal. | ||
| Paul Ryan is a path to losing for the Republican Party. | ||
| He lost the majority. | ||
| He lost when he ran for national office. | ||
| And he's lost the inspiration of the people. | ||
| Remember, we have to first do the making in the mind. | ||
| We have to show people a better world for them. | ||
| Stronger careers. | ||
| Higher wages. | ||
| Ownership societies in our country. | ||
| Actually standing up and fighting against the Chimerica dream that has really become a nightmare for our people. | ||
| That, by the way, America Last Politicians Like Paul Ryan embraced. | ||
| So this is a sign that Paul Ryan wants to be the front man for the party of Davos, the UNA party that has had too much control in Washington, D.C., no matter who wins elections. | ||
| And the fact that he's out there now giving the speech shows how strong our movement has become. | ||
| It shows that Donald Trump is still the leader of our party and the ideas that Donald Trump champion continue to ignite the imagination and interest and patriotism of our great people. | ||
| Congressman Gates, the number one story this afternoon, of all the stories that are hot throughout the world on their global news page, was the end of the New York Post, was that Matt Gaetz said if President Trump does not run in 2024, that you would be open to taking on Biden, that you could beat Joe Biden. | ||
| What say you about this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm for Donald Trump in 2024. | |
| This is Donald Trump's party and I'm a Donald Trump Republican. | ||
| But if, for whatever reason, President Trump decided to enjoy the swamps of Florida a little more than the swamps of Washington, D.C., I am certain that I could whoop Joe Biden up one side of this country and down the other. | ||
| Because the people in America want Passion and excitement and inspiration in the executive. | ||
| Joe Biden is obviously in a state of certain rapid decline. | ||
| And I want the American people to know that we don't have to decline with him. | ||
| America doesn't have to take nap time with Joe Biden. | ||
| We can actually be more productive, more successful, more ambitious. | ||
| We can stand down these efforts to try to make us hate one another like critical race theory. | ||
| We can actually fight for our military instead of trying to purge people from our military who are opposed to Marxism and Socialism and Communism. | ||
| And we can ensure that our foreign policy is more focused and that our domestic policy in order to the benefit of our fellow Americans, not just Wall Street. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're fighting for Main Street. | |
| That's what Paul Ryan never understood. | ||
| And that's what an America First candidacy would look like from me or anyone else. | ||
| Congressman Gates, I know everybody in the audience wants to follow you more closely. | ||
| How do they get access? | ||
| What's your Twitter handle? | ||
| What's your social media? | ||
| How do they get to the website to support you, sir? | ||

|
All right. | |
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Hey, everyone loves Bannon here. | ||
| We just say your name at these rallies, and the crowd goes wild. | ||
| Thanks for what you're doing to be the rudder for the America First movement so the rest of us can keep rowing. | ||
| Thanks, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Let's bring in Raheem Kassam. | ||
| See, Raheem, Congressman Gates gets it. | ||
| You see, I get the shout out there. | ||
| With you, I get your agent. | ||
| I get your agent pitching for more time for Raheem. | ||
| You gotta take a lesson from Gates. | ||
| Is it working? | ||
| You gotta take a lesson from Gates. | ||
| Is it working? | ||
| You got another five minutes here. | ||
| Tell us. | ||
| Put us in the room. | ||
| What's the intensity like tonight? | ||
| What are folks down there concerned about? | ||
| It's a couple of hundred people now in this room and the program starts at about an hour, an hour and a half. | ||
| So we're expecting more and more people to start flooding into the Dalton Convention Center here in Georgia. | ||
| And, you know, I've been talking to a few people here out in the line, out in the room, as it started to fill up. | ||
| Many people, Steve, have told me that they are now signed up as precinct committeemen as a direct result of tuning in to The War Room, to Real America's Voice, going to Dan Shultz's website, going to precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| I hear it all the time! | ||
| I mean, sometimes I'm at Walgreens and people will come up to me and be like, I'm a precinct committeeman now! | ||
| And I'm just like, okay, yeah. | ||
| But it's great! | ||
| It's fantastic to hear that people aren't just watching and observing, They're taking part, they're rolling their sleeves up, and getting down to the nitty-gritty of saving their country. | ||
| I wish more people across the Western world felt like me. | ||
| I wish people in France, in the United Kingdom, in Germany, would all step up. | ||
| And we see time and time again, whether it's the generals in France, or whether it's people in the UK, or it's people here in Dalton, Georgia, people are stepping into the breach. | ||
| And I think that's what this is about. | ||
| That's what you see around me here today. | ||
| With Nigel Farage, you built UKIP. | ||
| With Nigel Farage, you were one of the top people to have England take its country back with Brexit. | ||
| You've now gone from Florida to Arizona to Dalton, Georgia. | ||
| What's your sense of outside the beltway? | ||
| Rahim, what's your sense of outside the beltway? Where is the country right now? | ||
| Unafraid. | ||
| Unafraid. | ||
| I think this is the best way to... When you meet these people, they are not down in the dumps about what's going on. | ||
| They are alive and alert to the dangers and the threats to the US Constitution. | ||
| They understand what is going on. | ||
| They understand the attacks. | ||
| They understand the attacks on their values, on their families, and their communities. | ||
| But they are not afraid. | ||
| They remain unafraid. | ||
| They remain bullish about not just their opportunities and their lots in life, but about the country and its future. | ||
| That is something that I think people are ignoring in the mainstream media. | ||
| They like to make fun and poke fun and, you know, hang people out to dry on, you know, little statements and throwaway lines. | ||
| But the real story in this room is America. | ||
| The real story in this room is America's future. | ||
| And I think the people in this room... And by the way, this isn't the Blue Hair Rinse Brigade. | ||
| This isn't just a bunch of old people wishing nostalgic things for their country. | ||
| There are tons of young people in this room and they are fired up as well. | ||
| You know, I think when you look at people like Paul Ryan and what they're saying versus, you know, a month ago, two months ago, we were told that Josh Hawley was a was a domestic terrorist who needs to be arrested and, you know, Made to stand trial for January the 6th and now of course you have a unanimous vote in Josh Hawley's favor on the Wuhan lab and everything surrounding it. | ||
| So it's, you know, it's just incredible the way these things can flip so quickly. | ||
| People need to know that, people need to observe that and put their shoulder to the wheel because with the power in this room, you are making those changes. | ||
| Rahim, real quickly, what's your social media so people can follow you and The National Pulse? | ||
| Oh yeah, just at rahimqasam on everything and thenationalpulse.com. | ||
| And the podcast. | ||
| When's your next podcast? | ||
| As soon as I'm back. | ||
| That'll be tomorrow. | ||
| So we'll have a podcast up tomorrow afternoon. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| I may even sneak into the War Room and see you. | ||
| And remain quiet the whole time. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The takeaway tonight, as you heard from Rahim, is fearlessness. | ||
| This thing is changing. | ||
| You can see a sea change here in Washington already. | ||
| The two key things, number one, Fauci, the Wuhan lab, all of it. | ||
| We told you this. | ||
| A year and a half ago, you keep grinding every day, it's going to happen. | ||
| Also, Rachel Maddow and the mainstream media, they're completely freaked out about what the Patriots are doing, and it's because of this audience. | ||
| Just keep your shoulder to the wheel. | ||
| In Georgia, the officials down there retained criminal defense lawyers to try to shut this process down. | ||
| They don't want anybody to get in there and look at those ballots. | ||
| But the trains left the station, Rachel Maddow knows that, and it's going to hurdle across country. | ||
| We talked earlier about Natalie Winters and Heather Mullins, this young generation. | ||
| I now want to introduce again to our audience, Saurabh Sharma from American Moment, another young fighter in this populist nationalist movement. | ||
| Saurabh, I've got to ask you, Paul Ryan's throwing down today, saying this whole movement's a cult of personality, we've got too much populism, right? | ||
| And you've got to go back to what he was selling years ago. | ||
| You're one of the young leaders of this movement, sir. | ||
| What say you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it's utterly ridiculous. | |
| uh... what paul ryan is planning on saying tonight is that uh... the republican party needs to move past you know this quote-unquote cult of personality that they can't you know support populism anymore and and so on and so forth and there's two things that i think are are extremely irritating about this the first is that the agenda the paul ryan ran on versus the agenda that trump on couldn't be more night and day in terms of how popular they are and how effective they are actually representing the interests of the | ||
| Paul Ryan's agenda was about enriching corporate America on the backs of patriots who would vote for Republicans because they had nowhere else to go. | ||
| I think that that is, you know, they would essentially blackmail voters for decades saying, well, you know, where else are you going to go? | ||
| And then some other option came along. | ||
| President Trump came along and he said, well, I can actually represent you, whether it's on issues of trade, immigration, foreign policy, ending our endless wars. | ||
| I actually have your interests in mind. | ||
| And that terrified people like Paul Ryan because he threatened their sinecures. | ||
| And what ended up happening, Paul Ryan ended up having to leave Congress. | ||
| And that's why these people get so upset, because he threatens their incumbent power structure. | ||
| There's a second kind of strange, cynical thing that I have a problem with here. | ||
| He's about to give this speech at the Reagan Foundation. | ||
| One thing that establishment conservatives love to rant about is how so-and-so would violate the principles of a Reagan conservative. | ||
| They'd make Ronald Reagan upset, so on and so forth. | ||
| A, it's incongruous because they're making a cult of personality out of Ronald Reagan when they complain that we do the same about Donald Trump. | ||
| But also, B, I think that these people, if they were alive at the time that Ronald Reagan was the populist disruptor of his time, they would have opposed him just as much as they opposed Donald Trump. | ||
| They would have called him a moron cowboy. | ||
| They would have said he doesn't know what he's talking about. | ||
| They would have called it voodoo economics, in fact. | ||
| George H.W. | ||
| Bush at the time did, and that's really what Paul Ryan is, is an extension of the George H.W. | ||
| Bush party, and we should take him about as seriously as we would take George H.W. | ||
| Bush. | ||
| So Rob, last thing. | ||
| You've impressed me with being one of the intellectual leaders of this movement. | ||
| Paul Ryan always holds himself as a guy of big ideas, and they say we're devoid of ideas. | ||
| What's your response to that? | ||
| Where are the driving energy of ideas? | ||
| Is it in the populist nationalist movement now, or the old tired conservatives? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think it's in the populist nationalist movement. | |
| What do the old tired conservatives have to say to us? | ||
| They say, cut taxes. | ||
| Cut more taxes. | ||
| Cut more taxes. | ||
| That's all they have to say when it comes to an agenda. | ||
| Maybe they'll talk about deregulating a little bit. | ||
| Maybe they'll point to a judge here or there that they confirm. | ||
| Meanwhile, what are the populists and the nationalists talking about? | ||
| They're on the bleeding edge of every single area of policy that matters, whether it's improving our immigration regime so that we're actually doing right by American workers, preserving American culture, whether it's improving our trade regime so that we can actually make things in America again You know, this pandemic was so illustrative in so many ways. | ||
| When the supply lines across the world shut down, it showed us that we are fundamentally beholden to countries like China, countries that don't share our interests because we sold out our manufacturing capacity to the rest of the world over the course of Twenty to thirty years, whether it's, you know, looking at a new grand strategy for our country, addressing the challenge of China and not looking to old enemies that really aren't. | ||
| All of the intellectual energy, the fomament, the movement is on the side of populist, nationalist conservatives. | ||
| And the Paul Ryan types in some ways are scared of this because they know that this is so much more appealing to young people than what they have to offer. | ||
| And no matter how hard they try to indoctrinate them against that agenda, they're failing and they know it and they're scared. | ||
| We've got about a minute. | ||
| What is American Moment and how do people get to your social media and how do they get to the American Moment site? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, thanks, Steve. | |
| We're at AmericanMoment.org. | ||
| You can find all of the information about what we're trying to do over there. | ||
| You can go to slash donate on that if you'd like to help us out. | ||
| On social media, we're at AMMoment.org. | ||
| And what are we trying to do here? | ||
| Well, when President Trump got elected, he did not have the personnel he needed in order to govern in a populist, nationalist way. | ||
| That problem is not going away. | ||
| You could elect President Trump again. | ||
| You could elect a different leader that's charismatic, that's winsome, that has the agenda that we're looking for. | ||
| But they're going to be undermined by an administrative bureaucracy that hates them. | ||
| Every single day of the week, your congressmen that you elect are having the same problem. | ||
| And so what we're trying to do is, from the ground up, build up a pipeline for young, talented, loyal, dedicated, policy-focused people who are going to be part of actually moving the levers of power in places like Washington, D.C. | ||
| and elsewhere, being the gears and the machine that is Washington, and making sure that we actually deliver on the agenda that we run on when we talk about restoring this agenda and restoring sovereignty to the American people. | ||
| The reason you shouldn't be afraid ladies and gentlemen Heather Mullins, Natalie Winters and Saurabh Sharma. That's the future right there. | ||
| That's America's moment. Sir, thank you very much for joining us today. Appreciate it. | ||
| Thanks Steve. This is why we're winning. | ||
| And this is why we're going to win. | ||
| Until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock we're going to leave now with Minstrel Boy a salute to the fallen this weekend in Memorial Day. |
