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. | ||
| Which 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. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| Good afternoon. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| Abraheem Kassam sitting in for Stephen K. Bannon, who I hope will be joined by down the line momentarily. | ||
| Until then, you're in the War Room. | ||
| Got Natalie Winters in with me this afternoon as well. | ||
| We're taking over. | ||
| It's a National Pulse Hostel Takeover of the War Room. | ||
| Welcome to the show. 58 Million downloads on the podcast right now. | ||
| I want to start off this show by thanking each and every one of you who downloads this, listens to this, and of course I want to welcome back to the program our dear, dear, dear friend Madeline Peltz over at Media Matters. | ||
| We know Madeline got knocked off the beat. | ||
| The coverage wasn't good enough. | ||
| Maybe it was too good, Madeline. | ||
| You hyped us so much, up to 58 million downloads. | ||
| She's back announcing on Twitter, for those that don't know and that are recent to the show in the live chat, that's our hater-in-chief, Madeline Peltz over there at the far left, Soros-funded Media Matters, and I just had to take a moment. | ||
| She's blocked me, by the way, on social media, but she'll watch the show. | ||
| Coward. | ||
| I want to make sure that everybody knows MyPillow.com, sponsor of this program. | ||
| Make sure you head on over to MyPillow.com. | ||

| Let's get started, Natalie. | ||
| I want to start specifically by talking about the latest scoops that you have been Putting out there, you know, you found that it's kind of humorous, but it's deadly serious at the same time. | ||
| This 18 year old clip, we played it this morning, of Dr. Fauci getting called up and heckled. | ||
| I want to, by the way, audience, I want to know who this person was, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You had a, you had a, was it a surgeon or a... A physician from Durham, North Carolina. | |
| A physician, if you're out there, a physician from Durham, North Carolina. | ||
| I realize it was 18 years ago, but called up into C-SPAN and said what? | ||
| Basically, she suggested that Fauci needs to resign because his communication skills with regards to the dosing of certain antibiotics had really led to creating supposedly resistant strains of certain diseases. | ||
| And while it might be easy to get bogged down in the science of what she raises, I think the bigger issue there is something that we're still seeing that is very relevant today. | ||
| And of course, it's even relevant with the timing of this clip, which happened in 2003 when a SARS epidemic was plaguing Hong Kong. | ||
| And she basically says that Fauci, his ability to communicate to the American people what's going on, what they need to do, is not up to task. | ||
| And I think it's pretty prophetic. | ||
| I think we would have been better off had we listened to this nameless person nearly two decades ago. | ||
| And maybe her wishes will come true soon enough. | ||
| One can only hope. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it was, you're right. | ||
| It was something that I think, it makes you pause, right? | ||
| When you realize just how many people there must be in NIH and in NIAID that know Fauci is a long-term BSer and has sort of gone his whole career doing this. | ||
| And I was thinking on my way over here, I realized there's a lot of commentary in the live chat right now about my casual attire. | ||
| It's too hot! | ||
| It's fun. | ||
| I'm actually even wearing shorts at the moment, which I almost never do. | ||
| I don't think I've ever seen you in shorts. | ||
| No. | ||
| Well, you're lucky. | ||
| I was thinking on the walk over here, the bloody hot walk over here this afternoon, that the reason that these people are able to do what they do and they don't feel bad about doing what they do. | ||
| And I'm thinking of Fauci and Collins and those types in particular. | ||
| It's because they don't they do not value human life. | ||
| Right? | ||
| That is not at the top of the pyramid for them. | ||
| For them, it's power. | ||
| And power comes through experimentation. | ||
| And power actually comes through experimenting with human life. | ||
| Not putting it at the very top of the priority chain here. | ||
| I think we have Boris joining us on the line now. | ||
| Boris Epstein, do you have us? | ||
| Oh, there he is. | ||
| He is looking beautiful. | ||
| Big and beautiful as ever. | ||
| Boris Epstein joining us here on The War Room. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Hey, so is it a laundry day in Raheem's house? | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| What do we got going on? | ||
| I was trying to emulate you. | ||
| I thought, hey, let's go with the Southern Florida casual. | ||
| And here I am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Natalie, it's a pleasure to see you. | |
| Let's put it this way. | ||
| It's much nicer to look at you in that chair than it is at the usual occupant of the chair. | ||
| Now, if you start talking about MAGA Patriots and the freight train, then we'll know that we're actually home. | ||
| So, Boris, look, we kicked off by talking about Fauci, because I think this is one of those things where it feels like increasingly people think that, you know, this is now over the line, but it's not quite over the line, and there are so many more stories to come out. | ||
| There are still so many stories to come out from the emails. | ||
| Before we pivot, and I want to get your latest thoughts on the audits and what's going on all around the country, any thoughts on where we are with, I said this morning on the show, I said it's not about whether or not he goes, it's about when he goes right now. | ||
| Do you agree with that? | ||
| I do agree with you. | ||
| That's a good take, Reem. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| I think it's been about two weeks, maybe a little less since I tweeted out the over-under, which I had put at the time at two weeks, so I think we've got to be getting close. | ||
| It's obvious that Anthony Fauci is now getting thrown under the bus by the Biden administration, and we've talked about this for weeks, actually months, that the Biden administration have been getting Fauci-ed as a term from really the beginning, from when they came in. | ||
| They didn't realize How much of a free agent Fauci really is, and really how bad of a guy he is, how much of his own agenda he drives instead of driving the team's agenda of what is actually best for the American public. | ||
| So I do think it's a matter of when. | ||
| Now, here's the issue, though. | ||
| The longer Fauci hangs on, the more likely it is that he gets to hang on. | ||
| We saw that with Ralph Northam in Virginia, for example. | ||
| It's, oh, there's always a question of, well, can you really, you know, can you really get through it, right? | ||
| Could you really hang on and make it through? | ||
| And sometimes you can, but, you know, look at Liz Cheney on the flip side, right? | ||
| She's somebody who continued, continued to really spit in the face of the MAGA movement in the end, was not able to hang on, and obviously I'm thankful for that. | ||
| And that she's not the conference chair anymore, at least Stefania, because I know you and I disagree on that, but both agree that Liz Cheney shouldn't have remained the conference chair. | ||
| My point being this, that the pressure, to your well-made perspective, the pressure has to continue to make it clear just how badly Fauci has served the American people, that he cannot remain in his position, and that he's got to go, because if we let up on that pressure, It's more likely that he gets to stay and continue. | ||
| What's extraordinary about it, Boris, and I think we have the general himself on the line as well. | ||
| Do we have Steve? Yes, I'm right here. | ||
| Hey Steve and Boris, I want to get your thoughts on this. | ||
| Look, it's not just even that he served the American public so poorly and the administrations over years and years, decades and decades that he served so badly. | ||
| It's also the scientific community and science itself that he has served so poorly. | ||
| He had one job and he couldn't even do that. | ||
| Steve and Boris. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, I think the more investigative reporting you've got in National Pulse and others and Boris, I think the longer Fauci stays, and I think he's going to dig in, right? | |
| I think it's going to get worse for the administration. | ||
| I also think it's going to get worse for the scientific community, because this is a scandal of global scale, right? | ||
| You see, the scientific community has been bought off by money. | ||
| They've been working with the PLA. | ||
| They've been working with the CCP. | ||
| They've gone out of their way to hide, right, and to obstruct investigation that could have saved millions of lives. | ||
| They've gone out of their way to obfuscate Right. | ||
| Any investigation that could have taken place. | ||
| And I don't think Fauci's going to leave easily. | ||
| I think there's going to be, by this fall, I think you'll have massive investigations. | ||
| And I got to tell you, when the House flips in 2022, I think the investigations you're going to see at the House level, and I fully agree that I think Fauci and others have to start lowering up, loitering up right now. | ||
| I agree with that. | ||
| I just want to hit you with this, Boris, as well. | ||
| There is some, at least, scuttlebutt on Capitol Hill right now. | ||
| The White House is dividing into two camps over this. | ||
| There is a team in there that wants him gone immediately, and there is a team in there that wants him to wait it out a couple of months. | ||
| There doesn't appear to be that many people advocating for him to stay in the long term, Boris. | ||
| Well, you know, what's interesting there is just think about the issue itself, right? | ||
| Always signal, not noise. | ||
| How divisive this is for a White House that's an absolute free fall. | ||
| I mean, from Kamala Harris's historically disastrous press conference today in her Really unbelievably horrible answer to the question about visiting the border, to the pipeline, to the economy, to the actual disaster at the southern border. | ||
| This is a White House in deep trouble, and Fauci is dividing it even further. | ||
| So the question itself, the issue of itself is so troubling. | ||
| I do have a quick question for Steve Bannon. | ||
| Are you worried about Natalie Winters sitting in your chair and taking over that position for the day? | ||
| Maybe the live chat, maybe the MAGA Patriots, the MAGA Braintrust, that's the viewership of this. | ||
| Hair must be at least this long to sit in the chair. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The live chat was starting to call me Willie Pip. | |
| I didn't think that was particular. | ||
| I didn't think that was very good, right? | ||
| A baseball analogy, we'll make. | ||
| Steve, Boris, I know we've only got you both for a limited amount of time. | ||
| Steve, I want to throw it over to you. | ||
| Take us where you want to go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I just wanted, the reason I did this, the update on Arizona and Boris, you know this, that different groups, there's a report of Alaskans out there, Nevada, we reported this morning out there. | |
| I hear there's pilgrimage, not just Georgia. | ||
| But you've got other states people would never consider that are going out there and looking at doing this, and not just for 2022. | ||
| They want to go back and do full forensic audits. | ||
| Today we had the candidates running for the governorship of New Jersey in Republican primary. | ||
| They were saying that they demanded full forensic audits in New Jersey. | ||
| So I think what Arizona is doing, this is why I think a good update this afternoon, is how many different states are joining the 3 November movement. | ||
| First, as an aside, in terms of New Jersey, I'm hearing already that in Essex County in New Jersey, the Dominion machines did not deliver everything that was needed to be delivered for counting to be done on their machines, so ballots are going to be transported to Newark to be counted. | ||
| That is today. | ||
| That's happening as we speak. | ||
| And who knows about chain of custody? | ||
| Who knows if that's just a fake ploy to pull the ballots back and recount them later? | ||
| But that is happening as we speak. | ||
| And again, we're not machine guys. | ||
| But if I'm hearing that already by 5.12pm, on a full day of voting, at 1 or 2 o'clock, the Dominion machines are malfunctioning or not able to work properly in a primary in New Jersey, that is very, very troubling and has to be gotten to the bottom of. | ||
| As we look across the country, and we've been using this metaphor, we've got to stick with it because the left knows, the middle knows, and the right knows. | ||
| That the freight train of audits is now full steam ahead. | ||
| And as Steve mentioned, it's starting in Arizona, and now the pilgrimage. | ||
| Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Alaska, Wisconsin, so on and so forth. | ||
| This is spreading across the country, and that freight train is steaming full speed across the country. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because the American people want to and deserve to know what truly happened in the 2020 election. | ||
| I'm hearing that the recount part of the Arizona audit is getting closer and closer to completion, and from there, it's going to be all about the recanvass, which is extremely important. | ||
| And in terms of other states, Georgia, the pressure is on full speed. | ||
| Pennsylvania, State Senate President Corman has got to call for a full forensic audit of the 2020 election. | ||
| If he doesn't, that's going to be very troubling for his own political prospects. | ||
| We know we've got Doug Mastriano there, who's An absolute fighter, an absolute rock for election integrity, for voter integrity. | ||
| So this fight, this travel on the freight train of audits is only beginning. | ||
| When we started talking about this audit back in December of 2020, there was a legal fight ahead, there was a procedural fight ahead, and when the audit started back in April, who knew what really was going to happen? | ||
| And look where we're sitting now. | ||
| You've got almost 10 states Who've sent pilgrimages over to Arizona to study it, and by the way, the response from Pennsylvania, Doug Mastriano, from Georgia, from other states, is that this is buttoned up. | ||
| This is a squared away audit, and the re-canvas is going to be the same. | ||
| So in terms of what's happening across the country, that's where we are. | ||
| In terms of Arizona getting closer to completion, and what we are hearing from the audit, as I said yesterday, that staggering number, 25% of boxes, Have a number of ballots that don't match where they're supposed to be. | ||
| That is absolute earth shattering. | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| It's huge. | ||
| Forrest, we've got to jump to a quick break. | ||
| Are we holding you, Steve? | ||
| No, I've got to go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good luck, Natalie. | |
| All right. | ||
| Glad you're there. | ||
| We'll be back. | ||
| Forrest, hang on. | ||
| I want to go around the hall with you a little bit. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| We'll war room in just a second. | ||

Got it. | |
| 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. | ||
| Quickly put a button. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Do you have any plans to visit the border? | ||
| At some point, you know, we are going to the border. | ||
| We've been to the border. | ||
| So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border, we've been to the border. | ||
| We've been to the border. | ||
| You haven't been to the border. | ||
| And I haven't been to Europe. | ||
| I don't understand the point that you're making. | ||
| I'm not discounting the importance of the border. | ||
| I know Republicans have certainly come at you on this, but Democratic Congressman Cuellar, as a border district, has said to you and the President, come. | ||
| You need to see this. | ||
| Listen, I care about what's happening at the border. | ||
| I'm in Guatemala because my focus is dealing with the root causes of migration. | ||
| There may be Some who think that that is not important. | ||
| But it is my firm belief that if we care about what's happening at the border, we better care about the root causes and address them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so that's what I'm doing. | |
| This is absolutely incredible. | ||
| I mean, truly embarrassing for this regime. | ||
| I want to bring Boris Epstein back on this. | ||
| Boris, from a communications perspective, listen, we've been to the border. | ||
| I mean, that's, she's, the amount of lie in that, the word weave is doing a heavy lift in that sentence. | ||
| She's trying to say, hey, you know, other people, you know, from the White House at some point may have been down to the border. | ||
| Therefore, we've been to the border. | ||
| Lester Holtz not having any of it. | ||
| He hits it straight back with, you haven't been to the border. | ||
| To which she replies, I haven't been to Europe either. | ||
| Boris? | ||
| Have you been to Europe? | ||
| I have been to Europe. | ||
| The sound, it's wonderful there. | ||
| I've been to foggy London town. | ||
| My little boy loves Peppa Pig. | ||
| You know, we love the culture. | ||
| Well, Carmela clearly wants to go. | ||
| She wants to go to Europe. | ||
| You know, this is clearly the policy priority. | ||
| This is so staggeringly bad, okay? | ||
| It is earth-shattering, staggering, historically bad. | ||
| I mean, this is Dukakis and a helmet bad, okay? | ||
| She sounds like a five-year-old trying to answer why she hasn't visited grandma and grandpa, okay? | ||
| It is so pathetic. | ||
| It is so just- But Boris, but Boris, the pipe- the pipe in the house has burst, so Kamala's gone to the water treatment plant, you know? | ||
| Gotta go to the root cause of this, right? | ||
| Yeah, she's going to the reservoir. | ||
| The pipes burst. | ||
| The house is flooding. | ||
| She's at the reservoir. | ||
| And just her response. | ||
| But you know what this made me think of? | ||
| this is why kamala harris came in twenty two twenty first out of twenty one or twenty two candidates in at the twenty twenty democrat primaries she is such a horrible politician she's sold deeply unlikeable it is that this is a an app again somebody who has no business no business being a senator no business being a vice president and i will bet i will tell you as somebody who's been on the other side is communicator i will tell you | ||
| that the comms and press shop and the white house uh... at the first of the president's comms and press shop is probably blaming it all on the vice president's team okay And then the vice president's team has just got their heads in their palms, and they don't know what to do. | ||
| What are you supposed to say to someone like that? | ||
| This means that their principal is absolutely not ready for primetime. | ||
| I mean, she tried to lie to Lester Holt's face, and Lester's like, no? | ||
| And by the way, this isn't, like, exactly a fastball interview. | ||
| He just asked her. | ||
| No. | ||
| Why not just go at this point? | ||
| Try not to give in. | ||
| She doesn't own the border. | ||
| She owns the border. | ||
| She's the border czar. | ||
| So at this point, free advice. | ||
| You're there anyway. | ||
| She's in Mexico City. | ||
| Just go to the border. | ||
| Please, put yourself out of this misery. | ||
| This is so embarrassing. | ||
| And again, this is why Kamala Harris is an absolutely terrible politician, and why she had no shot at being anywhere near the White House after the primaries, and then Joe Biden rescued her, much like Barack Obama rescued Joe Biden in 2008, so it's a scary thought, scary thought, about who Democrats could choose to lead them going forward. | ||
| But Kamala Harris is an embarrassment to the White House. | ||
| Joe Biden needs to—whoever really—Ron Klain, who runs the West Wing, should call her, sit her down, and say, hey, you cannot do this. | ||
| This is embarrassing to Democrats. | ||
| And even more importantly, just for once, Dems, just for once, you Democrats, think of our country and how embarrassing it is for the person a heartbeat away from the presidency To be sitting there and lying, like somebody who's in middle school or younger, about visiting the migrant crisis at our border. | ||
| It is embarrassing, it's belittling of the United States of America. | ||
| Boris, what exactly is she terribly afraid of? | ||
| Because look, these trips, they have to include press availability, one-on-ones, images by the border, meetings with local stakeholders. | ||
| You know, people who are representing those districts. | ||
| Is it those sorts of things? | ||
| Because they're very clearly going to be charged with, none of that will look good if she actually goes there. | ||
| Is that what they're afraid of? | ||
| These, you know, the Washington DC's favorite word, optics, that she might encounter at the border. | ||
| Is that why she won't go? | ||
| You know, if her staff had even a modicum of skill, they could actually get it done. | ||
| I mean, she's the Vice President, right? | ||
| So when she travels, they clear everything out. | ||
| So they could go to the border, clear it all out, have a visit, have some friendly, you know, Democrat town official or somebody from the federal, you know, from the DHS come meet with her, she looks at the border, she leaves. | ||
| We will obviously point out that it's empty, that it's hypocritical, so on and so forth, but she will have visited the border. | ||
| Now here's something else that's very interesting. | ||
| What did Kamala Harris say yesterday in Guatemala? | ||
| She pretty much parroted Donald Trump's talking points. | ||
| She said, do not come to our border. | ||
| So now she's getting hit from the left for saying that. | ||
| She's getting hit from the middle and the right for not going to the border and being altogether completely ineffective. | ||
| So Kamala Harris right now, if you polled, I would bet you that her popularity is Nancy Pelosi down there in the dumps. | ||
| Kamala Harris is turning out to be an absolute albatross around this White House. | ||
| So if I can get this straight with you, Boris, this week alone we've had Joe Biden talking about maintaining Donald Trump's tax cuts, we've had more admissions that this is the CCP's virus, and we've had Kamala Harris talking about people not coming across the border. | ||
| This is a cheap imitation of the America First agenda, is it not? | ||
| Maybe they missed the tweets. | ||
| Maybe they missed the tweets. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trying to manifest the tweets back to reality. | |
| Maybe soon enough they're going to start a Twitter account and start putting out angry tweets. | ||
| But obviously they'll be bad at it. | ||
| They'll be nothing as strong and thoughtful and cutting through as the original. | ||
| And courageous. | ||
| Right. | ||
| They'll be angry. | ||
| Donald Trump was just truthful. | ||
| You know what I mean? | ||
| But it is this, isn't it? | ||
| I mean, I think President Trump needs to start messaging this as well. | ||
| I mean, you are getting the very worst cheap imitation of all of his America First policies across the board. | ||
| They are parroting him now on almost every single major issue, but without meaning it. | ||
| Right, without the authenticity behind it. | ||
| They're trying to do it because guess what? | ||
| The country doesn't believe them when it comes to the border security. | ||
| The world doesn't believe them on the virus. | ||
| Nobody wants taxes to rise. | ||
| Look at what's going on in terms of retail prices, gas prices, timber prices, meat prices, everything across the board. | ||
| So they have to try and make sure that people have money in their pockets somewhere along the lines. | ||
| Boris, it's an unmitigated disaster. | ||
| It's an unmitigated disaster across the board. | ||
| And now they're trying to Do a cheap aping of President Trump's policies. | ||
| Hey listen, I need to get to something else with you before we let you go. | ||
| There's three minutes left in the segment here. | ||
| Can we play the White House clip from earlier today? | ||
| Boris, I've got to get your thoughts on this. | ||
| Listen to the way the New York Times White House correspondent frames a question. | ||
| Let's roll it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Then I just had another on the Vice President visiting the border or not visiting the border. | |
| Republicans and conservatives are, you know, going crazy on Twitter, sending pictures, sending video of her interview with Lester Holtz, you know, saying, you know, I've not been to Europe either. | ||
| Um, does the president think there is a scenario in which she should visit the border and also the mounting criticism from conservatives? | ||
| Does that, would that ever factor into a decision to send her down there? | ||
| I mean, don't they have a point that if she has Well, first, as I said to Peter, at some point she may go to the border. | ||
| I don't have any trips to preview for you or predict or timeline for that. | ||
| But what I would reiterate is that her assignment was to work with countries and leaders in the Northern Triangle to address root causes, address corruption, ensure we're working together to address humanitarian concerns. | ||
| I will say we're not taking advice from former President Trump or most of the Republicans who are criticizing us on this, given they were all sitting there while we created this problem we walked into, both at the border and with the movement of migration that has been growing over the last year. | ||
| Boris, the response is typically vacuous. | ||
| But the response isn't even worth a response. | ||
| Nobody expects any level of sense out of Jen Psaki. | ||
| Let's talk about the question. | ||
| Conservatives and Republicans are going crazy. | ||
| They're going crazy over Kamala Harris's refusal to do her job. | ||
| Not the job that the American taxpayer asked her to do, because let's face it, we don't necessarily think that people did vote for Kamala Harris to do that job, but it's the job that Joe Biden gave her. | ||
| Kamala's doing the border, and she ain't doing the border, Boris. | ||
| You've got 30 seconds. | ||
| Absolutely disdainful. | ||
| Katie Rogers, the New York Times. | ||
| And then she kind of backs herself in because she has some level of reason. | ||
| So you can see the reporter, she starts being so dismissive of all of us who want Kamala Harris to do her job. | ||
| But then she talks herself into it. | ||
| Well, actually, don't they kind of have a point? | ||
| Shouldn't she go see the border? | ||
| And you see Jen Psaki, she started out laughing with her. | ||
| And next thing you know, she's like, oh, man. | ||
| I even lost the New York Times. | ||
| This means it's really bad. | ||
| And maybe at some point Kamala Harris will go to the border. | ||
| Maybe she'll wake up and feel like doing her job. | ||
| This administration is a total joke. | ||
| It's a pathetic emulation of Veep. | ||
| Selena Meyer would be embarrassed. | ||
| Should be embarrassed by this White House. | ||
| Democrats should be embarrassed. | ||
| It is pathetic. | ||
| It is awful. | ||
| But it is great for the future of America because we don't want to lose a Democrat anytime soon. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, welcome back to the War Room. | ||
| Appreciate you all being here with us this afternoon. | ||
| Casual Tuesday here in the War Room. | ||
|

|
Not so casual Tuesday. | |
| It's pretty casual. | ||
| You're not hyper-formal. | ||
| My shoes are hyper-formal, but I guess you can't see. | ||
| I can't see them. | ||
| Mine are certainly... I'm not even wearing pants, I'm wearing shorts today. | ||
| Listen, I want to just say to everybody out there, if you want to look as healthy as Steve has started to look in the last couple of days, you need to make sure you're going over to warroomdefensepack.com You get the zinc, you get the vitamin D. I can't stand when he says vitamin. | ||
| Vitamin? | ||
| Yeah, no, vitamin. | ||
| It's vitamin D. It's all at warroomdefensepack.com. | ||
| You just pay shipping and handling, I believe. | ||
| The rest of it is free. | ||
| It's a great way to boost your immune system. | ||
| In fact, I just took my supplements before I left the house this afternoon. | ||
| After a good workout this afternoon, I'll have you know. | ||
| The best thing I've done this year is getting fit and getting healthy. | ||
| No more drunk every single night, which was my MO, let's face it. | ||
| I think it's reflecting better on our work here in the War Room and over at the National Pulse. | ||
| Really inspired by Natalie Winters, whose favorite cocktail is Evian. | ||
| With a little bit of lemon. | ||

| WarhamDefensePack.com is the website. | ||
| Listen, 58 million downloads. | ||
| I want to thank everybody for that. | ||
| Make sure you're subscribed, leaving reviews, sharing, five stars, all the rest of it. | ||
| I want to make sure that we keep attracting more and more people to this show because you are the real signal out there. | ||
| You are the people who are keeping not just the politicians in check, but the media and the rest of it. | ||
| I mean, it's... | ||
| Natalie, I know you don't really like to opine. | ||
| I know that's not a big thing for you, but when you see the lady from the New York Times, the White House Correspondent, start off a question as, Hey, Miss Saki, thanks for calling on me. | ||
| Conservatives are really mean, obviously. | ||
| We all know that. | ||
| And they're nasty and they're doing nasty things on the internet. | ||
| But shouldn't Kamala go to the border? | ||
| What a cowardly way to back into a question. | ||
| I get to interact with you every day in a new sense and understand the way you report the news. | ||
| And I juxtapose you As, if you don't mind me saying, as a 20-year-old woman versus that, somebody who is an accredited White House correspondent, and I just think of the gulf of difference between the two things that you do. | ||
| Any thoughts on that, really? | ||
| Or are you just gonna let your work do the talking? | ||
| I think I'll let my work do the talking and I think I'll let the fact that I've exposed how her outlet has taken trips from the Chinese government in exchange for favorable coverage on the Chinese Communist Party also do the talking. | ||
| I think we're talking about the New York Times, so I also think it's worth adding that they can discount the National Pulse all they want and refuse to cite us when we break stories, which we know they like to do. | ||
| But I'm pretty sure it was a story that I wrote at the National Pulse that got the director of their whole entire cinematography branch to delete his entire Twitter because I had exposed tweets where he was saying, quote, working for the Chinese Communist Party has, quote, its benefits, where he also talks about how he helped build the entire redesign for the China Daily website, which is the same website that is now hosting article after article, video after video to not only discredit what's | ||
| going on in Xinjiang, also being used to really spread, I would say, at the tip of the spear in terms of the disinformation and propaganda campaign about The origins of COVID-19. | ||
| So, yeah, intellectually, I don't think there's much going on over there. | ||
| This is the same New York Times that called, you know, black suffrage a bad idea, that attacked the Republican Party for trying to enfranchise black people in America. | ||
| This is the same New York Times that has familial ownership links with members of the Confederacy. | ||
| And, you know, history is history and we don't attack that, but Their editorial position juxtaposed with their history is the hypocritical part, right? | ||
| And it's hypocrisy there that I'm... Look, we didn't even plan to do a segment on the New York Times. | ||
| I don't want to spend another second on them. | ||
| I just think it's pretty disgusting what went on in the press briefing room today, and I think everybody at the New York Times should be ashamed of themselves. | ||
| They've gone from being stenographers, which is one thing, bad enough, To now being hype men and women for Jen Psaki. | ||
| And by the way, there's nobody worse you could be a hype person for than Jen Psaki. | ||
| Believe me, there's nobody that needs it more than Jen Psaki. | ||
| But but I mean, imagine imagine somebody. | ||
| Here's the difference. | ||
| When Kaylee McInerney used to get up to that press podium, she had this huge folder, right? | ||
| And there was behind-the-scenes images of this folder. | ||
| Everything was there. | ||
| Every single issue, in detail. | ||
| And it was a great testament to her team, when she needed an answer, she could go here. | ||
| Okay, this is our policy, this is what... Saki stands up there, and you see her digesting a question, and you can almost see in her eyes, she's thinking, How am I going to lie my way out of this one? | ||
| If you think I'm joking, go back and watch. | ||
| I've watched almost every single Saki conference. | ||
| I think I know more about Jen Saki's mannerisms than Jen Saki at this point in time. | ||
| She's got this look in her eyes. | ||
| She looks straight at the person and she's sort of going like this. | ||
| How am I going to lie my way out of this one? | ||
| It's awful. | ||
| It's atrocious. | ||
| It's appalling. | ||
| Speaking of people who are saying things that they're not supposed to be saying, Hunter Biden. | ||
| Let's talk about Hunter Biden for a second because Hunter's currently trending on social media for using the n-word. | ||
| This is another thing that's coming off the back of the hard drive from hell now. | ||
| But there are some other things that you wanted to raise, right? | ||
| Specifically what we found on the hard drive from hell several months ago. | ||
| Yeah, I'm sure this will be a forthcoming National Pulse story. | ||
| I don't think we ever wrote it up, because when we were going through the hard drive, there was just so much to write up with regards to the Chinese Communist Party and a host of other foreign governments. | ||
| But if I remember correctly, he was planning kind of a weekend getaway. | ||
| Perhaps it could have been a bachelor party, if I'm inclined to say. | ||
| It was in Delaware. | ||
| and i remember on on the email thread on the email chain he used i will do my best to to explain this the the f word uh... but in a which is using a pejorative sense against people who are gay uh... describing some of his buddies and i think with maggot yeah and i think i i joked she at the time that in today's america hunter biden would be more likely to get canceled for saying that then he would inking deals with | ||
| the Chinese government and Chinese military-linked entities. | ||
| And frankly, I think I'm correct. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, no, I think that's absolutely right. | ||
| Talk to us a little bit about, you know, we talked in the last segment about the Biden regime being a cheap imitation, or at least trying to emulate a cheap imitation, of Trump's America First agenda. | ||
| You had another example as well, and that story involved Hunter Biden too, right? | ||
| Of course, it seems like too many stories are involving Hunter Biden. | ||
| But no, in the Biden regime's own words, they admit that a recent executive order they put out, quote, solidifies and strengthens, unquote, a Trump-era executive order which bans securities investment in roughly 60 technology firms, surveillance firms that both have ties to the People's Liberation Army, but also to the repression that's going on in Xinjiang against the Uyghurs. | ||
| So that's great. | ||
| We don't think Americans should be bankrolling the Chinese Communist Party's military, and that includes Fauci's NIAID. | ||
| We don't think taxpayers should be subsidizing research, dangerous research, at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. | ||
| But what's really, really interesting about this executive order is that one of the firms sanctioned, one of the firms included, which is China General Nuclear Power Corporation, Well, Hunter Biden's BHR Partners investment firm, which he leads, he founded in 2013, they were actually a cornerstone investor in the initial public offering of this company. | ||
| It was actually a $3 billion IPO. | ||
| It was the second largest of the year. | ||
| So Hunter Biden, who still, I believe, owns about a 10% stake in BHR Partners, likely profited immensely from this IPO, from this company, which might I also add, it was the Trump administration who used their Department of Justice to go after this firm because routinely consultants from, it's called CGN for short, would steal nuclear technology secrets, which the DOJ said posed a significant damage to national | ||
| security and tried to get American researchers and American scientists to go overseas and boost China's nuclear capabilities, that they actually, the Trump administration indicted researchers and scientists from this So again, you see the Trump administration really taking on the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Meanwhile, Biden's okay with sanctioning these entities, but only after Hunter Hunter has made his millions. | ||
| It's extraordinary stuff and it just plays back into I mean this this pseudo taking China seriously thing. | ||
| I think there is a there is a massive push outside of the United States now to do this and to kind of see at least see to a few things that the European Union the United Kingdom and A lot of the things that Australia has to be worried about at the moment. | ||
| But the administration over here, the regime as I like to call them, is kind of offering up these kind of tepid ways of imitating strength on this thing. | ||
| I mean, what did TikTok announce? | ||
| Do you remember this whole argument that we had A year ago about TikTok. | ||
| And we really, really believed that this was going to be prescribed in some way in the United States. | ||
| This is a tool of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| There's absolutely no doubt about it. | ||
| If TikTok has a problem with me saying that, sue me, right? | ||
| But they're not going to. | ||
| Because it absolutely is, it manifestly is, what is it, Article 7 of China's national security? | ||
| National security law. | ||
| Any company can be requisitioned at any time to boost the aims and the goals of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| And TikTok is one of those such companies that falls within that thing. | ||
| It's not even speculation. | ||
| Remember, we unearthed a 2018 letter from the former now CEO of the company where one of his apps was banned by the Chinese government because I think a little too much freedom of speech was going on there. | ||
| So they cracked down and in the letter he pledges to use his future apps, of which TikTok would fall under that category, to quote, promote socialist core values and really kind of instill devotion to the Chinese government. | ||
| I think people should go to the National Pulse and check out that article because I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that that is explicitly what he's pledged to do with these apps. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| No, I mean, it's extraordinary. | ||
| Look, I understand for the audience out there as well, who are living real lives and don't have to do, or get to do, if you want to do it. | ||
| I don't recommend it. | ||
| But what we do, which is, you know, going through the minutiae of every single little thing like this. | ||
| I mean, you must, you probably spend twice as long a day researching than I do. | ||
| But even I've got my head buried in data and documents and podcasts and, you know, archive videos all day long. | ||
| And, you know, we genuinely believe that every single part of this needs reporting out, not least because, you know, the establishment media has already showed, I mean, what is it, in the last month, we've seen how much these corporate news sites are willing to delete or change stories on their own websites, not with little corrections or addendums or editor's notes at the bottom. | ||
| That's always been the way that it has happened. | ||
| But now, especially on the Wuhan lab side of things, They are surreptitiously changing history in front of our eyes, and so there isn't a historic record of these things. | ||
| And we happen to believe that maybe we should rename the site to the Memory Hole or something like that, because, you know, there has to be a historical record of these things. | ||
| Every couple of months now you're seeing the media just pulling down stories or making alterations. | ||
| It's a phenomenal level of gaslighting that occurs out there. | ||
| I had another point on all of the TikTok. | ||
| So what's TikTok doing now? | ||
| 30 seconds. | ||
| Well, I was just going to say, it's also the Biden regime that's deleting China as one of the challenges as a policy issue on their State Department. | ||
| But I think TikTok is now collecting biometric data on users and facial recognition, all the scary words that I don't even know what they mean. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And they just announced this. | |
| They're happy to announce this. | ||
| And they've probably been doing it. | ||
| We're collecting your face. | ||
| You know, we're collecting your voice. | ||
| And so for deep fakes and things like that in the future, biometrics, everything, the Chinese Communist Party will have full access. | ||
| Listen, if your kids are using TikTok, your grandkids are using TikTok, if you're using TikTok, do yourselves a favor. | ||
| Hit that delete button. | ||
| All right, we'll be back in just a moment. | ||
| More War Room with Natalie Winters and Raheem Ghassam here from a very sweaty Capitol Hill. | ||

More 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. Banham. | ||
| As an example, first of all, we're only looking at viral families that include those that have got into people from animals. | ||
| So we narrow it down straight away. | ||
| Then when you get a sequence of a virus and it looks like a relative of a known nasty pathogen, just like we did with SARS, we found other coronaviruses in bats, a whole host of them. | ||
| Some of them looked very similar to SARS. | ||
| So we sequenced the Spike protein, the protein that attaches to cells. | ||
| Then we, well I didn't do this work, but my colleagues in China did the work, you create pseudoparticles, you look, you insert the spike proteins from those viruses, see if they bind to human cells. | ||
| At each step of this, you move closer and closer to this virus could really become pathogenic in people. | ||
| So you narrow down the field, you reduce the cost, and you end up with a small number of of viruses that really do look like killers then you look in people and you say in the people that live in the region where this animal lives that are exposed to that virus do we see antibodies? | ||
| Well, that's Peter Daszak speaking, I think, was it 2016, Natalie? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| We'll get into that in just a second. | ||
| I want to make sure that while we have the chance here, we're promoting the podcast. | ||
| If you feel this hour has gone too soon, you didn't quite get enough Natalie Winters, make sure you go on over to thenationalpulse.com. | ||
| We have a new podcast out today. | ||
| I see somebody has just posted it in the in the live chat on the telegram live chat so thank you who was that L for posting that link it's at the national pulse.com if you want to support our work and you want to help us do more podcasts and promote more stories and and who knows maybe there's even a A web design change to make the site bigger and bolder and better and present more content to the world like that as we're producing right now. | ||
| The URL is very simple and we're not asking you for millions of dollars, not even thousands of dollars. | ||
| You can sign up at fundrealnews.com. | ||
| That's the National Pulse's fundraising team. | ||
| And I've got to give a shout out to the National Pulse, what I call the Artist Collective. | ||
| That is the people who have joined up and we sit in a private Discord chat channel. | ||
| There's about a thousand people in there now. | ||
| And we chat every day. | ||
| I jumped in there last night and did an extemporaneous live town hall. | ||
| I spill the beans about quite a lot of behind the scenes stuff in there. | ||
| So if you want to join up, it's fundrealnews.com. | ||
| And we're really appreciative for every $5, $10 that you can part with. | ||
| Because let's face it, the big, heavily corporate funded media is just not going to do these stories and it will just keep falling to us to do them. | ||
| This Dashuk story being a prime example of that. | ||
| So Nathalie, just read the audience in here a little bit. | ||
| Well, we've got about four minutes left. | ||
| Read the audience in on how exactly you came about this story and what is Dashik saying, admitting to or even boasting about that? | ||
| Sure, well, while the mainstream media is busy lecturing us on foreign collusion, as they have done for over half a decade, we've actually found foreign collusion, and that is between, of course, Fauci's NIAID and the Chinese Communist Party, specifically at the Wuhan lab. | ||
| So to kind of contextualize this clip, what you're seeing totally discredits previous statements from none other than Dr. Anthony Fauci, who remember he distanced himself entirely from the Wuhan lab, insisting that there was no gain of function research occurring there. | ||
| But what you see Peter Doshak describe, which in his own words, killer viruses, right? | ||
| That's Peter Doshak saying that, that's not me, that's not Rahim. | ||
| He describes the sort of manipulation of pathogens, spike protein insertion, which really bears all the hallmarks of gain of function research. | ||
| So he's describing this, and as he notes, my, quote, colleagues in China are the ones who are carrying this out. | ||
| And this of course comes, as we've reported extensively at the National Pulse, about how there is now a very controversial $3.7 million grant that was inaugurated in 2014 still active, but from the NIAID to fund research with regards to bat coronaviruses that was sent primarily to EcoHealth Alliance. | ||
| But the question is really then, with the money that was sent to EcoHealth Alliance, how did that end up in the hands of the Wuhan Institute of Virology and specifically, Shih Chung Lee, the director of the Center for... | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And we also had another story last night, where on her own resume, she lists this NIAID grant. | ||
| So really, I think what this shows here, Peter Doshak, Fauci, Ralph Baric, all these people can lie. | ||
| say they have no affiliation, no ties to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Then finally when they admit that they do, they say, oh, but it wasn't, it wasn't that much, it was just a little bit. | ||
| Well, no, it sounds like Peter Doshak was totally deferring, right, it's his Chinese colleagues who are the one who are conducting this research and frankly I think that this corroborates what we heard from Francis Collins just a few days ago where he says, well, the NIAID and NIH had, quote, no control over the little bit of money that we managed to send to the Wuhan Institute of Well, Peter Daszak knows very well what happened because it was happening with his, quote, Chinese colleagues. | ||
| And frankly, I don't ever want to hear Chinese Communist Party researchers gain a function research or killer viruses ever in the same sentence or same NIAID grant ever again. | ||
| Look, there's some really important polling that Rasmussen did, and we talked about it on the podcast today. | ||
| We don't actually have much time to talk about it now, so if you want to hear about that, and what my thoughts are on what that polling is telling us about the popularity of Fauci, about the popularity of gain of function, Make sure you go and download the National Pulse podcast right now. | ||
| And yes, it's a shameless plug, alright? | ||
| It absolutely is. | ||
| But I'm really grateful. | ||
| Before I get to the homework, I'm going to give the audience some homework tonight. | ||
| Before I get to the homework, Stephen Caban will be back in the morning. | ||
| Don't worry, we haven't banished him forever. | ||
| The most offensive part of that to me... | ||
| Was not Chinese colleagues, killer viruses, you know, all of that stuff. | ||
| It was Peter Daszak pronouncing it pseudoparticles. | ||
| Pseudoparticles. | ||
| He sort of put on this fake American accent for just those two words in that clip and it just very... Pseudoparticles, okay? | ||
| Did you say that you couldn't tell the difference between mine and Peter Daszak's accent? | ||
| It's so, it's so true. | ||
| I couldn't tell the difference. | ||
| I thought, I thought it was him. | ||
| I thought it was you. | ||
| I was like, wait, why is Raheem talking about GatorFunction? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Has he been working with his Chinese colleagues all along? | |
| Listen to the podcast. | ||
| There's more of that banter, believe me. | ||
| And Natalie Winters gets compared to somebody as well. | ||
| Yeah, very offensive. | ||
