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

War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome to The War Room.
It's Friday, the 28th of May, the year of our Lord.
2021, we are starting the Memorial Day weekend.
The most serious, although it's the kickoff of summer, I understand that, but it's actually the most serious of all the civic holidays.
We hold because we honor our war dead and we're going to do a bunch of specials over the weekend.
Got a huge special tomorrow on Saturday and then on Memorial Day.
We'll talk a lot about that later in the show.
Over 55 and a half million downloads.
Shows on fire and podcasts.
Of course you're getting it live everywhere.
And we'll talk about our distribution partners momentarily.
I want to go to Raheem Kassam.
We only get Raheem for a few minutes because Raheem's got to catch a plane.
To get back here and get to work.
I can't say that, Raheem, because... And by the way, I want to give a hat tip to my co-host in studio, stepping in and batting for Raheem is Captain Ben.
And maybe, Raheem, that she fights for the mic a little harder than you've been fighting for it.
But she's got five computers up there, so I know she's going to be giving me real-time information.
Raheem, I got to give you guys an attaboy.
Whether it's the Guardian or the Daily Mail of London, all the biggest papers, most influential papers of the world, the Mediite site which follows media.
Your event yesterday dominated, I mean completely dominated, and you did such a big foot on Paul Ryan in that clique of has-beens out at the Reagan Library that it's just amazing what you guys pulled off.
I can't say highly enough about the team out there, and your coverage was amazing, but the team out there that did this, if you see them, give them attaboy.
So give us a perspective of how it feels the day after.
raheem kassam
Yeah, well, I will let them know.
I thought it was I thought it was an extraordinary event.
I mean, as I reported to you yesterday, Dalton, Georgia, not exactly, you know, right in the massive population center, but certainly hundreds upon hundreds.
I mean, I think I counted in total just around a thousand attendees in total.
I came into the Dalton Convention Centre yesterday and watched these absolute scenes of Matt Gaetz ripping into the political establishment, Marjorie Taylor Greene riding a Humvee into the room and subsequently ripping into the political establishment.
unidentified
And of course, you look at the press coverage today, Steve.
raheem kassam
I mean, the Daily Mail, the world's largest newspaper online, leads with the rally last night.
Now, that will suck a lot of the oxygen out of the air.
of the room for people like Paul Ryan and the others who are challenging this.
But I have to say, when you look at the male's headline, I mean, Matt Gage didn't actually say what they claim he said.
unidentified
Nevertheless, it's quite extraordinary.
steve bannon
By the way, it's not a problem.
And here's why, is that you can tell the respect they're showing these rallies and, quite frankly, the audience and this audience is pretty extraordinary.
People have to embrace what's happening here.
Yes, they're always going to have the snarky headlines.
They picked a small thing of Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's been very adamant about the cartels on the border.
You know, they picked up the two-second Mexican accent.
They picked up all the smallest details.
But the headline is they give this much more coverage and in a level of detail so much that media is treating Paul Ryan and the group out there as has-beens, right?
They understand the energy is coming from people, that audience, the audience at the villages, the audiences in Mesa, Arizona.
They understand something's happening here.
Clearly they're going to be snarky about it and they want to tear it down and they want to Well, I think you're right.
it's nativist, it's xenophobic, it's racist. Now it's dangerous, right? It's dangerous because she's, you know, she's nativist because they're using accents, they're dangerous because he's talking about the Second Amendment as far as the oligarchs go. But what are your thoughts? Well I think you're right. I think it's amusing to me that you want... I pay particular attention to the back of the room, to the press riser.
raheem kassam
I pay particular attention to how they behave, what their facial expressions are like.
Very hard to tell sometimes because they're usually double masked or triple masked and the face shield and all of that.
But it's interesting to note the change in how they've behaved about these rallies over the past three or four of them.
There was a lot of rolling of the eyes originally.
There was a lot of bullying and bossing people around.
CNN crew, I remember, at the Derail event, was roaming around freely demanding access to everything and now they kind of fall in line.
Now they kind of sit back at the back of the press riser and show respect.
Respect for the fact that these things are hard to pull together.
They're all around the country.
They're generating so much attention, so much enthusiasm, so many people.
They interview the people in line.
I watched them interview a ton of people yesterday.
Local news was doing it.
National news was doing it.
And I've got to tell you, they are getting to understand What this new revived MAGA base is all about.
steve bannon
Rahim, let me just break in for a second.
Mo, is that, is CNN, as you're speaking, CNN was covering the rally on the Cairon and showing footage.
So it's, you can jump in here and tell me, give me a heads up on that.
So Rahim, it shows you, it's been playing all night, it's going to be a big thing today.
How do you think, compare and contrast, One, what the reality is between what's happening on these rallies that you're covering, what's happening at the Reagan Library with Paul Ryan, and then how the media is trying to set up one against the other.
raheem kassam
Well, and that's the media's game.
I mean, you look at CNN's, you know, viewership, it's absolutely been tanking.
And so they need to create This tension, they need to create these foils and these, you know, I think they think of Paul Ryan maybe as a hero nowadays.
I'd like to go back and look at some previous CNN stuff from 10 years ago and see how they covered him back then.
But nevertheless, Paul Ryan is their hero nowadays and I feel very sorry for them in that regard.
But they need to create these fights.
It's kayfabe as far as they're concerned.
It's a lot of pro-wrestling fakery.
But it does the world of good for the populist base.
Because what it does is it presents a stark contrast.
It's a contrast between a grey man in a grey suit in the form of Paul Ryan and his grey ideas that are tattered and beaten down.
The globalist ideas of the political right, if you will.
That nobody on the political right really wants anything to do with.
And then you see the enthusiasm and the support and the realness, right?
The humanness of people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, who don't hide who they are, who don't try and pretend there's something they're not.
They go up there, warts and all, and give it 110% every single time.
And I must have spoken to 50, 60 people yesterday to get their views on everything that's going on.
By the way, I would estimate that about 80% of the people I spoke to declared themselves recent precinct committee men.
And we're just incredibly grateful to you and to Dan Schultz and the precinct strategy.com for doing the work they've done and they're getting involved at a local level.
But these people are so fired up.
They really, really truly believe in this America first rally movement.
And of course, as Marjorie Taylor Greene said last night, it moves on to Dallas.
steve bannon
I want to bring up something you made very perceptive.
If you look at, and this is important in its depth, Paul Ryan gives this speech.
He's on the teleprompter.
He's essentially reading a speech typed up by his staff, right?
With no energy, no power, and you see the raw power of populism when you see these rallies.
You see people engage.
There's a bunch of donors at the Reagan Library.
Right?
As I think Jesus Christ told us, leave the dead to bury the dead.
Right?
And that is what's happening out at the Reagan Library.
You're going to have a whole cast of characters up there.
Mike Pompeo's staff is watching the show this morning.
Mike Pompeo's got to break out and got to really defend the populist movement, okay?
If he's out there to suck up to the donors, that will be duly noted, okay?
No more of this playing the one house to the donors and then come out and try to be a populist and a nationalist.
You've got to be true.
You've got to be to the core of this.
I think Pompeo's one is going to be watched.
Rahim, I got to pivot for a second.
We're going to have Nigel on.
At the end of the show about the border.
Nigel's been quite moved by what he's seen at the border and he refers back to your guy's work in 2015 during the migration, the migrant crisis that really changed politics and really drove populism in Europe.
He's been quite moved by seeing, not the children, he's going to come on today, he's bifurcating this.
You have the children's issue, which the media is focused on.
He's talking about the cartels bringing across tens of thousands of young men into this thing, and about cartels, and about gang violence, all that.
He's going to have a presentation for us at 1130.
He's made an incredible video out there.
But I want to go back, because I know you've been traveling with the rallies, haven't been able to do as much coverage on the border.
issue on our border and our sovereignty.
I think the more we get into it, you and Nigel have been correct.
This is very analogous to what happened in 2015 and it's going to be one of the driving focuses in the 2022 elections of this rise of populism as a reaction to that.
Sir, your analysis.
raheem kassam
Yeah, well, Nigel and I spoke about this a couple of days ago, and he said, Raheem, who has, you know, accurate enough figures on illegal immigration into the United States?
And honestly, I said, no one does.
You have these estimates that are made by great groups like Numbers USA, and FAIR, and the others.
But I mean, some of these estimates are two, three years old now.
They don't take into account the early part of this year, to say the least, which is going to significantly change what we're talking about here.
And it doesn't take into account projections based on such a drastic change that we've been seeing on the border.
I'm afraid that in a lot of ways, the border is where conservatives are losing the media war.
We had some amazing coverage of this in the early part of this year, and that's what you want, right?
Truth and eyes on the matter.
But the Biden regime has managed strategically to try and distract the media away from covering what's going on down there.
And it is incumbent upon everybody to make sure that that doesn't happen and to focus and refocus.
And that's what Nigel's been doing, trying to refocus attention down there to the border.
Kamala Harris was designated as the border czar.
And then she decided, no, she's the root causes czar.
And then she decided, oh, no, I'm the hurricane czar.
I'm a storm chaser.
And that's what's really causing the Great Migration.
And that's what we're going to focus on now.
And so it is incumbent on everybody to make sure that we're paying attention to these unreal and inhumane scenes at the US border.
And I called it back in 2015.
I said, if Hillary Clinton won that presidential election, she would be 10 times worse than what Angela Merkel was like.
Thank goodness she didn't win.
But Joe Biden has picked up that mantle, and he is worse than that, even.
steve bannon
National Pulse has done such an amazing job, by the way.
I don't often hold up National Reviews, but the National Review cover story, we're going to get into this, the fall of St.
Tony Fauci, right?
The fall of St.
Anthony Fauci.
But a lot of this is coming off the reporting of National Pulse.
How do you think Because this is central to going forward.
What do you think conservative media has to do to get more on top of exactly what's going down on the border and to make it into a framework that is like the 2015 migrant crisis in Germany?
How do you think that has to evolve?
raheem kassam
So I'm a firm believer in people power, regardless of how much an individual or group of individuals can be maligned or just neglected by the media, tossed asunder.
I believe that if people act in numbers, they can command the attention of the media.
That's what we saw last night in Dalton, Georgia.
It was the force of the crowd.
and the force of how many people were there that really made that rally. It wasn't Marjorie Taylor Greene or Matt Gaetz, as you often say. The leaders of this movement are often interchangeable.
It's the base in and of itself that it's not. It's the base that is the driving force of it.
And so my attitude towards these things is to inundate the media via their social media, via their email addresses, via their contact forms, and force these issues upon them.
Force them to realize...
And that's how everyone starts, by the way.
I mean, Project Veritas, for instance, started as somebody who was annoyed with how the media was covering things and decided to get in their face about it.
And now Project Veritas is an insurmountable army of people with an army of supporters behind it that forces the media to change its tone and change its tack and it puts it on the back foot I believe that if you support real news organizations like the National Pulse, like Revolver.News, like Citizen Free Press, like so many populist press, like so many others out there, the Georgia Star, all of these organizations and people who are doing this news in a real way, then the corporate media will turn in on of itself.
steve bannon
I really believe that.
I know you got a bulk.
Give your social media cross-references, coordinates, and how do people get to National Pulse on your podcast?
raheem kassam
Yeah, I'm just Raheem Kassam on all social media platforms, and if you want to support our work, it's simple.
It's just fundrealnews.com, and I really appreciate everybody that chips in.
steve bannon
Fantastic job.
Looking forward to seeing you back here in D.C.
Okay, we're gonna go to commercial break where Rahim goes, catches a plane.
We're gonna go back to Georgia though.
Massive news on the audit down there.
Remember, the entire establishment in this city is in full meltdown about November 3rd.
Getting to the bottom of it.
Next, in The War Room.

With Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, you have an assignment over the weekend besides watching and sharing all the specials we're going to do over Memorial Day weekend here at the Unreal America's Voice and the War Room.
I want to make sure all you people engage in that.
Also, go to mypillow.com, promo code warroom, toppers, We know the toppers are hot because we can see the math.
Toppers 30% off, pillows $29.98, $40 off.
These specials are not going to last forever.
Get on today.
This show is about human agency.
Action, action, action.
Take action.
You get up to 66% discounts on a host of products.
Discounts across the board.
But big sales now on toppers, 30% off, and pillows, the queen size, $29.98.
Do that, support the Freedom Movement, that is the apparatus of the War Room, the MyPillow Company crowd up in Minnesota, and of course, the air marshal of all this.
We do the ground game, he does the air game, that would be Mike Lindell.
I want to turn now to somebody else that knows about air game.
Because his radio network is really the place where you can find out what the deplorables are thinking, because he takes calls, he interacts with the audience all the time.
John, Frederick, John, put in perspective, you know, we've got the media in a full meltdown, we're doing the show and talking to Rahim about the rallies, there are the lead story in the Daily Mail, the big story in the Guardian, Mediate's got five stories, they can't cover this thing enough, CNN's doing live coverage, and as we're talking, CNN actually has like ironic cuts to a package.
They're doing all these rallies.
Between taking over the school boards, these rallies going on, the precinct committeeman strategy, what's going to happen in Jekyll Island next week, all over the country, what is your sense as we go into Memorial Day weekend, a hundred and some days into Biden's, the Biden regime, where do you think we stand right now?
john fredericks
The enthusiasm of the deplorables has exploded bigger than anything I ever saw in 2015 or 2016 or any Trump rally.
Because now people are just not going to a rally to get charged up or to hear music or to see Trump.
They're going to get involved.
They want to take over their respective Republican parties.
I mean, we just went through this in Georgia.
Deplorables came out in massive numbers.
They elected their own leadership.
They basically taken over the Republican Party of Georgia, which was the first opportunity we've had from the bottom up.
Every single district and county meeting had double, triple and quadruple the number of people that they normally have at these.
A lot of the old guard never saw so many new people coming out of the woodwork and they're taking leadership positions and they're getting involved and they're going to rallies.
But they have responded to our call to action.
Action, action, action is what we're looking at now.
People are sick and tired of what they've seen.
Look, they want to get to the bottom of the Wuhan virus that destroyed so many lives.
You've been the leader with that.
They want to get to the bottom of November 3rd.
I mean, you saw people at a New York Yankees came the other day unfurling a banner that said Trump won.
I mean, they just want closure on this stuff.
And if you put this in perspective, you know, when you're in New York and you've got banners saying Trump won, right?
Something's going on here that finally the fake news media, we've been so far ahead of this, Steve, you and I, finally the fake news media is starting to catch up because they can't hide it.
They can't bury it.
They can't make believe it's not there because the numbers are off the charts.
steve bannon
The one thing I want to comment for this audience and show the respect of this audience, you have to embrace what's happening here.
The John Frederick Trader Network, Real America's Voice, The War Room, this audience and this respect to you.
These stories last night, Paul Ryan was not the lead.
It was Gates and Marjorie Taylor Greene in this movement and where it stands and where it's going and the reaction of really Paul Ryan and it was the equivalence.
It gave it full equivalence and quite frankly they basically reinforced the fact that the power in the drive is in the populist side and what Ryan and these guys are is kind of this weak tea kind of whining about what they want to happen.
What's your perspective of that, John Fredericks?
john fredericks
America First, that you have championed, Steve, from the beginning in your populist movement, has now transformed from individual people to an idea base that won't go away.
And what you said earlier, you absolutely nailed it.
The leaders of the movement are interchangeable, whether it be President Trump one day, Corey Lewandowski the next day, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz the day after, or Steve Bannon on Friday today.
unidentified
Yeah.
john fredericks
The leaders are interchangeable.
It is the idea, it is the concept, it is the ideology that has captured now so many people, and that is really what is different about this movement.
And so when Paul Ryan gets up there, I mean, you have got to be kidding me.
Ryan gets up there, clueless tone deaf, and he's talking about, you know, we have to get out of the cult of personality or whatever he was babbling gibberish last night.
Says nothing to do with a cult of personality.
This is a, a.
A national movement that is capturing the country, that is motivating people.
They get it.
They understand it.
They know how they're getting screwed by Wall Street.
They understand what happened in this Wuhan lab that destroyed their world.
They understand what these tyrannical governors have done to them.
And they understand that China and Asia has taken their jobs because feckless leaders have shipped them out.
They understand the borders getting over Yes.
It transcends its leaders. There's an intellectual capacity behind this and it's come together with a massive blue-collar working man's movement that I have never seen.
I'm 63. I've never seen anything like what I'm seeing now.
steve bannon
The Tea Party movement in 2010 was basically the tip of the spear were women.
I did that film, Fire From the Heartland, about Palin and Bachman and the other women associated with it, Jenny Beth Martin.
This is much more powerful.
Not just everything you said, but they see what the tech oligarchs are doing.
They've seen the radical nature of the Biden administration.
They've seen critical race theory.
They've seen the mask mandates.
We're going to have Naomi Wolf on here later about the vaccine passports.
Women are taking or confronting and taking over school boards and the establishment is crumbling.
When confronted, it will crumble.
And that's what I think people are saying, that they're empowered and that people in taking action, using their human agency, Right.
Is having a massive impact, whether it's the precinct committee strategy.
Right.
The next thing you know, you're in Jekyll Island and you're calling the shots.
Right.
Are you at the school board?
You're throwing these bombs out.
You're getting in there and you're taking the mask off kids.
You're not going to have to force vaccinations.
You can be empowered.
For basically decades they told you you didn't have any power.
You just got to sit there and listen to talk radio and be entertained or watch Fox News and be passive.
No, that is the exact opposite.
And what's the power of this?
All these leaders and guys like myself and you, we're totally interchangeable.
Right?
But what's not interchangeable is this base of people that are fired up.
Now one of the things they're most in meltdown about is the train has left the yard in Arizona and it's going nationwide.
And the smartest people on this side, like Rachel Maddow, is panicked.
They're panic-stricken.
What is happening?
The news out of Georgia last night was unbelievable.
Walk us through.
You've been the centerpiece of reporting on this Georgia situation.
What happened in Georgia yesterday that is a massive tell?
john fredericks
If you've stolen something and the evidence starts to come out, you panic.
I mean, that's basically it.
This is all alleged.
We have no proof yet.
That's what we're trying to get to the bottom of it.
So let me start there.
All the affidavits are allegations, but we're trying to uncover what exactly happened with these 147,000 mail-in ballots in Georgia.
And we're up to 30,000 of them.
That seems to be the number up to could be 5000 could be 30 somewhere in between.
Are they counterfeit?
That's what the affidavits have said.
That's what Judge Amir was trying to get to the bottom of what they were supposed to do today.
There was supposed to have a meeting at 9am at the warehouse to determine how they could get the scanners in there because the ballots by law cannot be moved.
So they have to bring the big scanners in.
So they have to see how much electricity do we need?
How big is the door?
How do we get it in?
That was what the meeting, this was basically to start the process of the forensic analysis of these 147 ballots.
Well, lo and behold, yesterday, the Fulton County Election Commission hires two criminal defense lawyers, Donald Samuel and Amanda Clark Palmer.
Now, these are white collar Criminal defense lawyers.
In fact, Donald Samuel is the person who defended Ray Lewis, the former linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens on a double homicide.
So these are tough lawyers that make a lot of money.
They're very high price.
They've had very high profile candidates.
And what they've done is they went to Judge Amiro.
And they asked for a continuance because they want to develop the strategy around defending their client now, which is Fulton County.
So Fulton County taxpayers are now paying for these lawyers.
But these aren't election law lawyers.
These are criminal defense lawyers.
So they got a continuance.
They have to go back in a week or so.
I think it's one week they got.
to outline their case.
Obviously, they're trying to stall this for whatever reason, but the crux of this is the America's brief that was filed by Republican Secretary of State, Brad Rappensperger and Attorney General Chris Carr, said based on Georgia law, outside people cannot come in and handle ballots.
It has to be handled only by election officials in Georgia.
So Judge O'Meara said fine, we'll have that.
The forensic analysts can come in and they can observe Everything that's going on in the ballots will only be handled by Fulton County election officials.
Both Bob Cheeley, who is the lawyer for 10 voters in Georgia, and Garland Favorito and his lawyers, they signed off on that.
No problem.
So now the defense attorneys come in and say, well, if our people are going to be handling the ballots, we have to be sure they're properly defended against any possible wrongdoing or criminal charges.
So now we get a stay, or I'm sorry, now we get a continuance and we're going to have this play out.
A lot of people are concerned.
Is Judge Amiro going to abandon This or whatever.
Can they stall this in perpetuity?
I don't think so.
This judge has been pretty tough.
He wants to get to the bottom of this.
But you got to ask yourself, Steve.
Why is Fulton County?
Why is Fulton County hiring two high profile defense attorneys?
What is the purpose of that?
So it just adds More suspicion.
I had Buddy Carter on my show.
steve bannon
John, John, John, John, John, hang on.
John, hang on one second.

Ask you to stay on.

We're gonna let Captain Bannon actually say something when we return in the War Room.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
The National Review, on its cover this week, The Fall of St.
Anthony Fauci is a must-read article, and there's going to be a lot more as you see the implosion of Tony Fauci about the Wuhan lab.
Look, whether you think it's a bioweapon from the PLA or you think it's a total hoax, the one thing we have learned categorically Over the last year and a half, it's about your immune system.
You need to boost it.
You've got to take action.
Nobody can do it for you.
No government, no group of friends, no significant other, not your children, not your wife, your husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, any of it, right?
You've got to do it yourself.
You've got to take agency and human action.
Go to warroomdefense.com today.
You get the free vitamin D3 and the zinc.
You've got to pay shipping and handling, but you get access to information.
About your immune system and what you need to do to be a healthy warrior.
Look, this grind is going to take a long time.
We're not going to snap our fingers.
It's going to happen overnight.
But we know the fire and the intensity is on our side of the football.
We need everybody there that can line up and be counted on and suit up.
Every day.
Go to warmdefense.com today and start focusing on your immune system.
I want to go back to John Frederick.
So John, look, and I don't want to get the Ravens fans out of joint here, but the Ray Lewis defense down in Atlanta, I think it was after a Super Bowl or something, it was fairly controversial.
And my point is that these defense lawyers were heavy hitters.
unidentified
You only bring in criminal defense lawyers when you've done something criminal.
That's a tell that there's something criminal that has been done down there.
steve bannon
Is that the perception?
Is Captain Bannon's perception the perception of what's happening in Fulton County right now, John, on your show today, or from political officials or people?
Are they pretty outraged or shocked that you would bring in top-level, heavy-hitting, smash-mouth, smash-mouth criminal defense lawyers in a situation like this?
john fredericks
Well, Bannon and Bannon, Team Bannon, what other perspective, Maureen, would there be?
I mean, they're not bringing in election lawyers.
They're bringing in criminal defense attorneys, high-profile ones, very expensive.
We had Congressman 1st District Savannah Buddy Carter on a radio show today, also might be a candidate for Senate if Herschel Walker doesn't run in Georgia.
And he said, look, the fact that they've stalled this thing and brought in these defense attorneys Now you've got more questions than ever.
And the questions are, were there counterfeit ballots?
I mean, this is very simple.
This is beyond chain of custody, or somebody put their Dropbox in their car for three days, or they didn't sign the form the right way.
You know, we've got all those issues.
But what is at issue in general, and everybody understand, it's counterfeit ballots.
Ballots that somebody printed up.
We had a whistleblower on the other day, Bridget Thorne, who said she saw at the warehouse Test ballots being printed up, not secured and not destroyed.
Where did they go?
No one knows.
Were they injected into the system at midnight?
Were those the ballots that were in the suitcases that came out from the State Farm Arena video?
No one knows that either.
Why weren't they folded?
Why were they on different paper?
Why were all the bubble clarks the exact same?
Why did 97% go for Biden?
And all the votes down ballot were the exact same, including referendums and soil and water.
These are the questions.
Now we bring in defense attorneys, we stall it, and you've got criminal, high-profile criminal defense lawyers.
Even if you're taking cursory notice of this, you've got to say to yourself, what on earth is this about when criminal defense lawyers, high-profile, are coming into play and getting continuances Paid for by the Fulton County taxpayer.
Something here, Steve, doesn't feel good to people.
There's no way this goes away.
steve bannon
John, how do people get access to the show, your website, all that?
You're on fire right now.
You're the oracle of deplorables.
I want the rest of the nation, and particularly the diaspora, the Chinese people, because we're live-streaming in Mandarin, to make sure they get access to you to find out exactly what's going on with the people in this country.
john fredericks

Everything is there.
But look, Steve Bannon and I in War Room, We're the, and the, and the, and the, and the stars.
Georgia Star News, which is there, which I'm the publisher of.
Steve, up to this point, you and I, and our Georgia Star, we're the only people covering this.
Nobody will even cover it.
The AJC doesn't cover it, Cox doesn't cover it, WSB, nobody covers it but us, and now we're finally gonna get to the bottom of it.
But you gotta ask yourself, why did they hire Donald Samuel, who defended Ray Lewis?
Why did they hire Amanda Clark Palmer?
Why not hire election lawyers?
steve bannon
that's the question said and more and more you get rid of us off they put me bring in high-profile smash mouth and have the taxpayers pay for john first thank you very much thank you to now another patriot american hero morgan common uh...
uh... morgan it do have the technical problems worked out more Morgan, thank you very much for joining us here in the War Room today.
Of course.
I want you to step back.
This is, we're going to have Naomi Wolf, Dr. Naomi Wolf, on after you talk about the vaccine passports and all this, but the question, we've been laying out, because I'm not an anti-vaxxer, right?
I know a big part of our audience, or a certain part of our audience is, you've got people that are pro-vaccine and are just going to do what they're told, you've got the anti-vaxxers, you'll never convince them, but you've got this huge group in the middle.
You have done an amazing public service and you've shown courage and bravery in doing it.
Walk our audience through exactly what's happened, why you came forward as a whistleblower, and what the stakes are here, sir.
unidentified
Yeah, thanks, Steve.
So basically, I came forward after I discovered evidence of Facebook, technical evidence of they're actually suppressing what they call vaccine-hesitant content on their platforms, which would be Facebook, Instagram, stuff like that, and many, many languages.
And as a response to that, as soon as Facebook realized that I might have been someone that leaked that, they went ahead and took away all of my work equipment and sent me out in the parking lot with a security guard and said they were going to put me in an investigatory meeting.
And, you know, what the stake here really is, Uh, the internet as a whole.
I mean, this, this could expand to Twitter.
This could expand to, uh, Pinterest.
It could expand anywhere, really.
Because right now it's, they're censoring vaccine-hesitant content.
But in the future, this is a model that could be applied to really any topic.
steve bannon
This is one of the reasons, you know, we're live-streaming in Mandarin about social credit scores and all this, the tech oligarchs.
So two questions to answer for the audience.
And by the way, this is brought forward by the great James O'Keefe and the team at Project Veritas.
Can't say enough about James to see the growth of him when I first knew him with Andrew Breitbart.
He's just incredible how powerful they've become.
When you say, how do they make the decision what they're going to basically downplay?
And how do they technically do it?
Because I thought everything was done by algorithms, so people like yourself wouldn't be that important.
So walk through when you say they suppress this, they don't want to do it.
How do they make that decision?
And then how technically do you actually do it?
unidentified
Alright, so one of the documents I leaked is actually a chart that explains this.
And basically what they do is they write an algorithm to analyze the content itself, and then the algorithm will try and make a decision as to if the content is related to vaccines, or if it's vaccine-hesitant, and if so, what tier they're going to rank it through.
They have a Tier 5 is the lowest, which would be positive vaccine content, and then Tier 0 would be like the worst.
It would be like completely anti-vaccine, stuff like that.
Usually, they'll have the algorithm go through the workflow and try to make a decision, and if the algorithm can't do it, then the algorithm will actually send it to a human rater, who will then make a decision.
And there's actually a labeling guideline, which is one of the documents I included in this leak, that is a document used to train those human raters as to whether to decide the content is vaccine-hesitant or not.
steve bannon
So, Morgan, this is why, if you can clarify what I've always found confusing.
You have artificial intelligence, you have all these brains.
How do they come to the conclusion That they've got a downplay, because the algorithm is basically to catch code words, but how do they actually come to the decision?
That the information about vaccine hesitancy has to be suppressed.
Who actually in the chain of command, as far as you know it, actually makes that decision to say, hey, today, you know, palladium is moving, as they used to say on Wall Street, right?
They're going to tell the sales force what to sell or tell them what not to sell.
How does that decision get made?
Is that also just artificial intelligence or is there some human element at some level in the chain of command?
unidentified
So it's definitely a human element.
This document here is one of the new documents that I leaked that explains the classifiers.
And these classifiers are basically things that they'll use to classify these.
And those are created via programming languages and stuff like that and AI.
Actually, it's produced from a human source.
Uh, so the human source program is the algorithm itself.
So it's, uh, you know, a small group of, uh, software engineers and stuff at Facebook, and then everyone that's in charge of them that are making these decisions as to what goes in the code and how to train the human raiders as well.
steve bannon
And so once they make that decision, then they just use the algorithms to actually do the suppression.
How do people like you then get involved in the system?
How do you actually have access to all this if it's all done just by algorithms?
What's the human interface that allows people to actually step up and say, hey, I don't know if this is correct.
I don't know if this is the right thing to do.
unidentified
So there's a lot of ways actually.
Facebook internal employees can actually report posts themselves.
They can report content themselves.
And this kind of discussion as to what is Fact and Hesitant and what they're all about and what their goal is, this is actually a discussion that goes on quite a bit at Facebook internally.
And as far as that goes, they usually just use the algorithm, and the algorithm will make a decision at the end, and then, like I said, the human raiders will make a decision.
steve bannon
This is where we get to.
When you say it goes on a lot, is that around the water cooler, or is it in the employee cafeteria lunch?
Is it you guys at your cubicles?
I know some of this is distributed.
How, actually, is it at the low level of people saying, hey, I don't know if this is right, I don't feel comfortable with this?
Walk us through, where are those conversations taking place and who are having those conversations?
unidentified
So the more vaccine-hesitant conversations are going on around the water cooler, like you're talking about, at cubicles, in the workplace, physically.
As far as the other types of conversations, they have an internal platform that's basically like a social media platform for employees at Facebook and their staffers.
And basically, it's called Workplace, and a lot of the positive stuff you'll see on there.
You'll see people commenting, oh, you know, this is very exciting news, and well, what about this?
And there was even one document I leaked, actually, that was an employee, a Facebook internal employee, complaining that they actually had vaccine, or anti-vaccine, or vaccine-hesitant content pop up in their recommendations, and they viewed that as a problem and submitted that to the engineers, and the engineers actually are looking at it.
steve bannon
We only got a couple minutes in this segment, and Mo, can we get all these, I want to get all these reports and put them up into the live chat.
The live chat, just got to get your arms around this, because this vaccine hesitancy thing is huge.
Do people around the water cooler, actually the employees, and you don't, obviously not going to name names, are a lot of those people also concerned about, or also a lot of them vaccine hesitant, saying, hey, I see this information, I'm not yet convinced.
Among the employees, is there at least some general sense that something's not right here with these vaccines?
Or the way they're being promoted?
unidentified
Yes, absolutely.
Absolutely.
I've heard that many, many times from many, many sources in different departments, different companies, all within the place where I work, yes.
steve bannon
Why does the higher-ups, and we've got about a minute and then we'd love to hold you over the break, why do the higher-ups at Facebook feel it's important to actually have essentially a social credit score here and to suppress this?
Why do they think it's important to suppress the information that would make people more hesitant or want more information about vaccines?
What do you think's driving that?
unidentified
If I gave them the benefit of the doubt, I would say it's probably because they think they're doing a good thing.
They think they're doing a service, a good service to, you know, the people that use their platforms.
And they think that they're defending them from misinformation and stuff like that.
But I think that's the very attitude that leads to people using power for things that they shouldn't use it for.
I think people, you know, once you get to a certain level of power, it's just, as a human being, you really can't handle that.
And I think a lot of people don't realize that.
And when you're in a high up position at a place like Facebook, I mean, you can imagine the kind of power that you might have to affect these decisions and influence how the platform is developed in the future.
steve bannon
You've hit the main event.
OK, please stay over.
I want to get in.
Microsoft's president, I think, said we could be heading to a 1984 situation with artificial intelligence.
We'll ask more in common that we return in the War Room.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, we're with Morgan Common, a whistleblower from Facebook.
Morgan, we're crammed for time and we'd love to have you back.
I've got to ask you a question.
You brought up last time, I think it was the CEO of Microsoft or one of the retired presidents, warned about artificial intelligence and artificial general intelligence.
It's one of the things that we've talked about with this audience on these specials about transhumanism.
What is it, are people, do they understand in a place like Facebook It's almost a military type power in the social media that they have.
Are you concerned, as a whistleblower, that they are becoming untethered with moral constraints?
What are your thoughts, sir?
unidentified
Yeah, so I think that the majority of people, like I said, think that they're doing a good thing.
I think there's a small group of people that they know the power of this, they know the influence of this, and they're seeing ways that they can use that to their advantage.
You know, maybe sell it to companies who can use it or something like that, and have like a pay-to-play type of thing.
And as far as the technology itself goes, it's really, in the information age that we're in, information is power, and you can use it as a weapon.
And I think that that's one of the biggest dangers here, is that They have access to that, and they have access to the great influence, and you know, they reported that 2.79 billion people on earth used some kind of Facebook app in their last quarterly report, so yeah, it's a big deal.
steve bannon
Look, we have a ton of libertarians that are part of this movement, a lot of people that want obviously more freedom and want the corporations to be more unrestricted.
I am more of a populist nationalist and I've for years said these social media companies have to be regulated and should be highly regulated.
Is there any sense in Facebook?
You know of the employees that do think that more regulation has to come in here to keep control, particularly with artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence can get away from us very, very quickly.
Is there any sense internally from the people, even at the working level, that there needs to be some sort of constraints put on these companies?
unidentified
Oh yeah, I've seen a few individuals speak out on that before, but usually the majority is no.
They're not really concerned about, you know, could this get away?
Is this a fire that we're lighting that's going to get out of control?
You know what I mean?
And they really are playing with fire, I think.
I think that this kind of technology is starting to, if it hasn't already, evolve faster than human beings ourselves.
And so it's becoming very difficult for us to understand, at least the majority of us, what we're actually holding in our hands, the power that we're wielding.
steve bannon
For this audience out here, I'm telling you, this is one of the most critical issues of our time.
Morgan, you've come out as a patriot and really showing courage, which is what everything's based upon.
What happens to you now?
What goes forward?
Are you going to be investigated?
And how can this audience help and assist you?
The Project Veritas guys, there's nobody this audience holds in more high regard than James O'Keefe and the team.
Matthew Tierman and the others over at Project Veritas, just great warriors.
How can people support your efforts?
How can they assist you?
How can they know more about you?
unidentified
Alright, if you want to know more about me, you can go to my Facebook profile and my Instagram profile, just at Morgan Common, and then if you guys would like to donate, there's multiple ways you can do that.
Go to givesendgo.com slash expose Facebook, and then obviously if you guys want to help out Project Veritas, you can go to VeritasTipsAtProtonMail.com.
steve bannon
Are you continuing on with your exposed Facebook?
This is not a one-time deal.
Are you going to continue on this?
unidentified
Yeah, with everything that I've got so far, yeah.
But as far as getting more information and stuff like that, I've been let go from the company.
So I'm not listed as internal on any of the platforms anymore.
So I don't think I'll be able to get anything more from them directly.
But from what I've got, yeah, I'm planning to do more.
steve bannon
Have they threatened to sue you?
Is this what they're implying?
That they're going to come and try to bring either some sort of civil penalties or try to get some criminal penalties against you?
Are you concerned about that?
unidentified
I'm slightly concerned about that.
As far as contact, they haven't contacted me about that at all.
In fact, all the communications that I've received have been indirectly from Facebook, from a third party.
steve bannon
Okay, Morgan Common, thank you very much.
Glad to have you.
We want to have you back on this more in-depth discussion on artificial intelligence because it's quite scary.
Thank you, sir.
unidentified
All right.
Thank you.
maureen bannon
I just want to add, we've put his gifs and go in the live chat, so for the War Room Posse, you can check it out in the Telegram live chat.
steve bannon
This is one of the things we were trying to... By the way, we ought to try to get into the Gab and all these other live chats, into the regular live chat too, if we can do that.
By the way, all the live chats are on fire.
That's why we love to have everybody engage.
Whatever platform you're on, just pick your platform.
This is one of the reasons we're trying to get this crypto and transhumanism in the UFO special.
We're actually not going to be even able to do it tomorrow.
We're having a special.
We had the American General's talk that was so controversial about critical race theory in the military.
We're actually going to have a collection of flag officers tomorrow.
Both to commemorate Memorial Day weekend with personal stories but also to talk about the great threat to our country and to our society.
I can't emphasize enough the issues that we have with really the convergence of these technologies that will lead to the singularity and to transhumanism but one of the scariest and you've seen a lot of responsible people including Elon Musk Inside the tech world, and particularly the oligarchs, that are quite frankly very concerned about how out of control and how quickly out of control artificial intelligence can get, and then artificial general intelligence, which is even the next step up there.
So it's one thing I want to make sure everybody is aware of.
It's one thing we're going to be covering.
We've got a special worked out also on cryptocurrency and also transhumanism, and we've got to discuss the UFOs.
We're going to have a Chief Petty Officer from the Navy who's retired who's running for Congress in the next hour and you just saw that you saw the videos are now being putting out in off the coast of California where as a young naval officer I used to patrol all the time to do exercises and you saw the the UFO that have been released by by certain authorities to show how you know how these I think was USS Omaha was completely was completely surrounded by Okay, we've got a lot to get through today.
We've also got a lot of specials over the weekend.
Everything we're doing is trying to commemorate Memorial Day, so I want to leave this hour with Minstrel Board.
We're going to be back with Dr. Naomi Wolf when we return in the war room.
