Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
So you don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
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.
The number of open FBI domestic terrorism investigations this year has increased significantly.
According to an unclassified summary of the March Intelligence Assessment, the two most lethal elements of the domestic violent extremist threat are racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists and militia violent extremists.
In the FBI's view, the top domestic violent extremist threat comes from racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race.
The Department of Defense will train service members on the potential targeting of current and former military members by violent extremists in order to help prevent radicalization.
steve bannon
Okay, you're in the War Room Live.
We've got a packed show today.
It's Tuesday the 15th of June, the Year of Our Lord 2021.
Over 60 million downloads.
Of course, we're broadcast everywhere.
I want to thank whether it's in Mandarin, Japanese, everywhere.
I want to thank everybody for doing it, all distribution partners, radio, cable, satellite, podcast, all of it.
I want to turn to Darren Beattie.
We've got so much important news.
We're going to go to Arizona.
We're going to be in Australia.
You should understand, ladies and gentlemen, it's victory after victory after victory.
Biden has just announced that they're going to have an investigation of NIH funding about the Wuhan lab.
That is the Biden administration starting an investigation.
It's just been announced.
We have Sherry Markson from Australia trying to track down Rahim and Natalie Winters.
Incredible job of that team to get us where we are.
But we've got to start with Darren Beattie.
Darren's going to be a talker tonight.
With really an explosive story that we're going to follow up.
Darren B is going to join us at 10 a.m.
tomorrow following his appearance on Tucker Carlson tonight on Fox to talk about this explosive investigation that Revolver.News.
But I have to have you on here for something else.
It was so outrageous today.
What Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, said, Darren, that Revolver and National Pulse have been at the tip of this, but you guys have been all over this January 6th and the radicalization of the military.
We're going to have Frank Gaffney and a bunch of people, some of the generals on tomorrow.
This was shocking.
I mean, this is basically back to the Soviet Union in the 1930s to purge the military, to take political commissars and put them in there and purge the military.
Darren, you've been all over this.
Tell us what happened today and how outrageous this is, what Merrick Garland said about the patriots in the United States military.
darren j beattie
Well, it's an acceleration and really an inflection point in a disturbing trend that we've been covering on revolver.news, which is the political weaponization of the American national security state against the deplorables, against anyone MAGA adjacent.
And looking at this latest development, one wonders, does the national security apparatus do anything but conspire against the American people.
What Merrick Garland announced was nothing short of a declaration that the entire national security apparatus's purpose would be, one, to go after basically anyone who's Trump adjacent, and two, in order to achieve that purpose, to make sure that there is a full-scale ideological vetting operation within every branch of that apparatus to make sure that there is nobody sympathetic
to a president that garnered at least 70-plus million votes.
It is outrageous.
It is dangerous.
And if we have time, I'd like to point out one interesting discrepancy in the approach that Merrick Garland took.
So I encourage everyone, and we're going to start doing this much more in Revolver.
Garland has a history.
He doesn't come out of nowhere.
I think many people know that he oversaw the Oklahoma City operation.
And I think that's incredibly dirty, but to explain why it would reach outside the scope of this discussion.
But one thing that's interesting, though, is that in recent DARPA reports on various extremism groups, they actually carefully distinguish between so-called white supremacist extremist groups and what they call patriot extremist groups.
And those are the groups that they associate with Uh, 1-6 and so forth.
So I find it very interesting.
Maybe it's just that Garland is rehearsing the greatest hits, but for him to articulate white supremacy as the biggest threat when the government itself has distinguished patriot extremism from white supremacy just shows how sloppy their thinking is.
It doesn't matter to them ultimately.
There are terms like white supremacists don't have any substantive content.
What they mean by that It's you, me, your grandmother, anyone watching at home, anyone who dares to object to the globalist American empire and its radical left-wing agenda.
steve bannon
Why do you say accelerating?
I want to make sure the audience, we only got a little bit of time with you today.
Everybody should understand Darren's going to be on Tucker Carlson tonight, the great Tucker Carlson.
He'll be back to kick off the show tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
He's laying out an explosive investigation tonight on Tucker and tomorrow with the War Room.
But when you say acceleration, explain to our audience what you mean by acceleration and weaponization before you leave us, sir.
darren j beattie
Right.
Well, we've seen rumblings of this in the past.
The DHS, for instance, has declared white supremacy, so-called white supremacy, as the number one threat months ago.
And, of course, they're launching off of 1-6 and the false narrative behind 1-6 to serve as a pretext to accelerate.
What I mean by acceleration is we have the Attorney General of the United States now making a formal declaration that this is to be the purpose of the entire national security apparatus launching a full and formal vetting operation and we laid out what exactly that means in our explosive expose on Bishop Garrison.
This vetting operation is nothing other than ensuring that no Trump sympathizer can make it into the military and national security state because their future designs for the national security state is Patriot Act 2.0.
And instead, this time, Patriot Act 2.0 means that the entire national security apparatus has been weaponized against patriots.
steve bannon
OK, we're going to get out.
We can't do it today, but we're going to do it tomorrow to talk about what this audience can do to combat this.
But I don't see a lot of Republican opposition up there right now going nuts on this, which they should be.
This is a shock for particularly as many veterans in this audience, as many parents of veterans, as many significant others as veterans and active duty members.
This is outrageous.
It's massive.
I got to tell you, I was shocked.
By the language, I was shocked by the direction of what they're doing, and this is absolutely stunning.
You understand why Colonel Lohmeyer is in this situation.
Darren, how can people follow you, and you're on Tucker tonight, you're back on us tomorrow at 10 o'clock, and you gotta go to Revolver and stay tuned for him and Tucker.
An explosive investigation, a controversial investigation by Revolver.
How do people follow you, sir?
darren j beattie
Go to revolver.news, check out the biggest investigative story of the year.
Go to War Room tomorrow at 10.
Go to my Twitter at Darren J. Beattie.
D-A-R-R-E-N-J-B-E-A-T-T-I-E.
Stay tuned.
Much more to come.
steve bannon
Darren Beattie, a patriot and a hero.
Thank you very much for joining us, sir.
darren j beattie
Thank you.
steve bannon
Want to go now to Arizona.
We're going to have both Wendy Rogers, but to start with Catherine O'Neill.
Catherine was with us on the 16 campaign.
She worked at the White House.
She worked in the State Department, the Trump administration, the first term.
She was on the 20 campaign.
She was actually in the transition team, both in 16 and in helping the president finish up his first term.
She's a long-term Trump supporter, a very close friend of War Room, and she went out to Arizona.
We asked her to check in with us.
Catherine, you've been out there, you did your due diligence, you've seen the operation.
Give the War Room posse a report on what you found out about the full forensic audit out there.
there. Give us your assessment.
Okay, we gotta get the audio fixed out there in Arizona.
We're going to do that momentarily.
We'll jam for time.
Okay, let me just make sure you get a reset right now.
And I've got a mystery guest in here as our co-host.
That's called a cold call.
As soon as we get audio in Arizona, we're going to go back.
We've got the great Wendy Rogers out there too, the state senator who threw down on Merrick Garland.
That's what I thought would be great back-to-back.
We've just got to get the audio kind of fixed.
Boris Epstein is going to join us also.
To put the audience in perspective, here's a bunch of things that have happened today, and this is what's very important besides this throwdown of Merrick Garland about the United States military, and quite frankly, exactly what, and this is the way Marxists work.
What they try to do is they try to go in and get to your best institutions.
Critical Race Theory in the schools.
What they've done now, you see the Southern Baptists out there, hoping they're, I hope they take the ship today.
The Pirates are out there in Nashville right now in this huge controversy about populist, about, you know, grassroots populism taking over that.
That's because of guess what?
Critical Race Theory coming into the teachings of the Southern Baptists.
This morning we had Marjorie Taylor Greene on.
She went out, had the press conference at 1.30, fired Fauci.
Shortly after that... And remember, there's no controversies, but there's no coincidences.
The Biden administration announced, this is the Biden administration announced, there's going to be a formal investigation into NIH and to find out about the funding of NIH, how these grants have gone, what's their relationship with the Wuhan lab, and then what actually got sent to the Wuhan lab.
This is another victory.
We've had kind of victory after victory after victory.
I understand people say, well, hold it, you're winning skirmishes, they're winning wars.
They ain't winning wars right now.
Let's see exactly what they're trying to do right now.
Joe Biden's numbers are in a free fall and why they are free fall is about his legitimacy.
Every day it's hammering away. You've had now Brad Ross, Brad Ross's burger all afternoon now is in every it's on Yahoo News is in the New York Times. He's saying, hey, we got to begin a full investigation, a full investigation out there to into Georgia and to exactly the 330,000 ballots, the 330,000 ballots that have no chain of custody, the mail-in ballots.
And we now know from election officials in Georgia, from election officials in Georgia, at least 18,000 ballots in Fulton County alone.
Have no chain of custody documentation.
Now you're getting the Republican establishments actually coming on board.
Raffensperger is saying, hey, this must be handled.
You've got in Arizona, you've got the Attorney General, who's no friend of the Trump movement, no friend of the 3 November movement.
What is he doing?
He's sending a letter that actually backs up with our guests if we work at the technical problems.
Wendy Rogers in Arizona has said, hey, if you come out here and put your hands on a ballot, if you interfere with the canvas, if you put your hands on a machine, what we're going to do is we're going to arrest you.
OK?
Madeline Peltz, you've got to get to the source document saying, oh, Bannon's threatening him.
unidentified
No.
steve bannon
All I'm repeating is what the state senator in Arizona has said, you come out there Merrick Garland and you start getting involved and putting your hands on ballots, start putting your hands on ballots, you're going to end up in an Arizona prison.
This is a state senator.
We have somebody, let's try it again.
We have Catherine O'Neill.
We've got about two minutes.
Catherine, we've got about two minutes.
Give us your report, your assessment of what you found in Arizona, ma'am.
catharine oneill gillihan
Hi Steve, thanks for having me on.
I'm sad not to be there with you in DC.
It's pretty hot over here.
It's about 118 degrees today, so I'm trying to stay cool.
But I think my first impression is I am so impressed by the level of thoroughness and organization that this operation is being run under.
And I really encourage, this is not a political operation, so I encourage all
Parties that are interested in learning about this process to come out and see it because like I said I'm extremely impressed with the thoroughness and the professionalism and the organization with this process and I think I mean the goal for this in my opinion is to restore faith in our democracy and to make sure that you know our future generations will will be able to trust the voting process because right now there's really not a lot of trust in In the way that we vote.
And you even saw that in 2016.
All of a sudden, you know, the Democrats are very secure in our elections.
Our elections are secure.
But I think this is not a partisan issue.
This is really an issue for our country and for the future of our country.
steve bannon
Okay, Catherine, I tell you what, we're going to take a short commercial break.
We're going to return to Arizona.
We've got Catherine O'Neill, who worked in the Trump administration in the first term and the campaigns.
We also have State Senator Wendy Rogers, who's thrown down on Merrick Garland and said, hey, you come out here, start messing with our audit.
We're a sovereign state.
And as the Attorney General, who's no Trumpanista, said today in his letter to Garland, the states created, the federal government's a creation of the states.
He should have asked for the recusal.
Now I'm gonna ask Wendy Rogers, should Merrick Garland recuse himself?

And now we're going to go back to Arizona with State Senator Wendy Rogers.
By the way, we'll make sure Media Matters really follows this because this was Senator Wendy Rogers that threw down on Merrick Garland.
We were just nice enough to be able to kind of promote her Her throwdown.
I want to go back to that.
Merrick Garland, you know, you're a career military officer, Colonel Rogers, and you're a state senator now in Arizona.
Merrick Garland had this whole thing today about the de-radicalization of the military, which we'll get to in another day.
But the other day, Merrick Garland was also in your life.
He threatened to come out there.
He had a press conference, he's already sent a letter, threatening, making sure, hey, Wendy, will you really focus on the criminal statute here?
Right?
You had a very specific comeback.
You said, hey, if you come out here and mess with our, put a hand on a ballot, mess with our canvas, and put a hand on a machine, you're going to have to answer to us.
And the state of Arizona is prepared to throw you in jail.
Are you still prepared to stand in the back of that state, Senator Wendy Rogers?
wendy rogers
Well hey Steve, great to be with you and I've been here at the audit almost daily.
And this is Arizona's operation here.
This is not for the DOJ to come knocking on our door and to meddle with us.
And when you mess with Arizona, You're dealing with a hard, scrabble, independent, western ethos of a state.
And we were the 48th state to become a state.
And we are resolute to find the truth, to get to the bottom of 2020, so that we can fix the mechanisms as they are for 2022.
And I am so honored.
That all these states came out here to look at us to see the deep dive of a gold standard of an operation that we've had here and the DOJ needs to go down to the border and fix the drug trafficking and the human trafficking as they should as a federal agency because you and I took that oath remember to support and defend the Constitution and that's what they need to do for us.
steve bannon
Senator Rogers, what I've heard from people who went down there is so incredible.
They've come to the new Concord Bridge, which is the convention floor to go through the procedures.
Eric Greitens, a commander of the Navy SEALs, said, Steve, this is as squared away on process and procedures as Admiral Rickover's Navy Nuclear Power Maintenance Program.
As a naval officer, as you know, it's the highest accolade you could give someone.
How do you then tell our nation about, every night on mainstream media, MSNBC, CNN, the New York Times, all in full meltdown, this is a carnival, it's clowns with flamethrowers.
What do you have to say to the national media about how they've represented and smeared the patriots and the hard-scrabbled, hard-working, blue-collar, middle-class citizens of Arizona, ma'am?
wendy rogers
They need to take a look themselves.
This is not Democrat.
This is not Republican.
We've had 2,000 volunteers as counters and helpers here, and the counters actually had to have voted.
The Maricopa County election in November in 2020.
There is skin in the game.
We do not ask if someone is Democrat or Republican.
It is the truth.
And it's the state's right and the state legislature's ability and charge and obligation to seek the truth.
And it is we, the State Senate, who are vested with that.
And as you know, we hang by the slenderest of threads.
We have a 16 Republican, 14 Democrat makeup in the State Senate.
If we didn't have that one vote majority, you and I wouldn't be having this conversation.
steve bannon
That's why every vote counts, every vote matters.
Senator Rogers, how can people follow you, particularly on social media, because you've got a pretty good running stream of exactly what's going on.
And I've got to tell our audience, she's got not an ounce of back down in her.
So how do people follow you during the day?
How do they get access to you?
wendy rogers
Well, thank you, Steve.
Follow me on Facebook until I get kicked off, WendyRogersAZ.
Twitter, also, WendyRogersAZ.
And it's my honor to serve.
I would never have predicted, but for such a time as this, as in the book of Esther, that we would come to this crossroads, that Arizona would figure so prominently, and that the state Senate would, in turn, and then by one vote, No, you said about Arizona and that, you know, we've got family out there.
steve bannon
We love that state.
I gotta tell you, if it had to come down to any state and have it rest on the shoulders of deplorables and citizens and blue-collar folks and hard-working, working-class people, you could not pick a better state than Arizona.
wendy rogers
Absolutely, and we will see this through.
We are absolutely resolute, tenacious, we've been thwarted at every turn, and we will not tire until the truth is found.
And I don't know what that truth will be, but rest assured, what we do find out will be the truth.
And it's data-driven.
steve bannon
Senator Rogers, thank you very much.
Honored to have you on the show.
wendy rogers
Thank you, sir.
steve bannon
Data-based, evidence-based, science-based.
Wendy Rogers.
Tough as boot leather.
Trust me.
Okay, I want to bring in now Boris Epstein.
We're going to get back to Katherine and I'll try to get Sherry Marks in the show.
It's crazy today, but crazy good.
Okay, I'm bringing Boris.
Boris, real quickly, your thoughts on reflections and analysis of Senator Rogers.
He's been one of the great patriots out there.
Do we have Boris?
Okay, Boris, can you tell us about your assessment of Senator Rogers?
boris epshteyn
My assessment of Senator Rogers is that I think that Mark Kelly would have quite a race on his hands if Senator Rogers decided to take a look at becoming a U.S.
Senator, not a state senator.
Colonel Rogers is tough.
She's great on social media.
She obviously has served our country.
We're very thankful for that.
And she has stood behind the MAGA brain trust, the MAGA patriots, stood behind us and has stood with us.
As this fight to determine what really happened in 2020 continues.
Madeline Peltz, you know what, thank you so much for giving us the free PR, really appreciate it.
Thank you for spreading the words of the MAGA Brain Trust, of the MAGA Posse, that is the viewership and the audience of this show.
And you know what, Madeline and the others at Media Matters or wherever the haters are, if you've got a problem with Wendy Rogers, guess what?
If you've got a problem with Wendy Rogers and the MAGA Brain Trust, guess what?
They do not care.
They do not back down.
They keep fighting for the truth, and that's amazing.
Huge fan of Wendy Rogers as a representative, as somebody who represents the MAGA posse.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to get back and talk about elections, trying to get Catherine O'Neill back in, but I've got to play this because today the hedge funds lost over half a billion, over $500 million, over half a billion dollars because of the APE Army.
I've got to play an incredible video I saw from a veteran.
Let's go ahead.
Can Denver boot that up and let's play it?
I'm going to have Boris respond to it.
unidentified
Hey, my Marine here.
This message goes out to Charlie Gasparino.
Any other haters, but mainly Charlie from one man to another man.
I know you feel the way you feel.
I've seen some of your stuff.
The way you talk about AMC and the way you talk about the traders, you know, the trader, us, the retail.
Man, I'm gonna tell you right now, there's a lot of veterans in this.
A lot of us veterans that served in the armed services.
And I gotta tell you, brother, we ain't dumb.
So, I know you wanna go off on us all the time, you wanna pick on us, but you need to realize who you're picking on.
Because there's like 30% of us that I've done some numbers are military that serve this country.
And a lot of us are 40 and 50 and 60 years old.
So there ain't a bunch of just dumb retail people.
There's 4 million people in this man.
And just from heart to heart.
So I'm gonna challenge you man. I'm gonna throw a challenge out to you.
And let's just see if you can be a man.
I challenge you to come in on some of these calls that we do in the community.
I challenge you to just get in and listen.
Spend 10 or 15 minutes, man.
You know what?
The art of war.
Get to know your enemy.
Keep your enemy closer, right?
If you think we're dumb and we're your enemy, why don't you come in and see us?
Why don't you come in and listen to us?
Listen to what these folks have to say.
Listen to the heart.
The love that they have in this community, man.
Because you guys are missing it.
All you reporters, all you people, you're missing it.
You come in and spend some time in the community.
I mean, we have a CEO of a company that called up one of our guys to check on him because he was having heart issues.
I think the CEO gets it because he's in the community.
He reads, he listens, and he hears about us everyday folks.
And you may think you're higher and better than we are, but we're the backbone of this damn country.
We're the backbone of this world.
You wouldn't be where you're at and wouldn't have what you have if it wasn't for us.
So I challenge you, all of you guys, especially you Mr. Charles, to come into our calls.
I invited you on one today, you know showed.
But I just ask, come on in man, we'll treat you right.
Just listen.
Get to know the community, and then see how much of a hater you really are.
Before you just continue to put down 4 million strong.
Because we're not as bad as you think we are.
My Marine out.
steve bannon
CNBC is reporting that the Army of Apes caused over a half a billion dollars of losses of these greedy and incompetent Wall Street hedge funds that have tried to crush these companies and try to oversell them, thinking they make a quick buck.
You have the Army of Apes right now, and I don't think anybody can say to anybody, remember, in this ape army, they're not Trump, these are not all Trump supporters. In fact, probably a pretty small proportion are, but you've got a huge proportion of veterans in there. I think the guy said up to 30%. Right there was as powerful and succinct. It's not just a challenge to Charlie Gasparino. It's a challenge to all of the Wall Street, all the Wall Street media
that covers for these incompetent and corrupt hedge funds, these competent and corrupt banks, these competent and corrupt family offices.
Wall Street is a it's a casino.
But worse, it's a rigged casino.
And it's rigged for the house.
And you finally have working class people, middle class people, put their shoulders together in a phalanx.
And they're driving a stake in the heart of the corruption.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, Boris Epstein, I want your analysis.
You're an old Wall Street guy.
I want your analysis on the APE Army and particularly that incredibly articulate assessment about the Army of Apes from a Marine Corps veteran.
Boris Epstein, sir.
boris epshteyn
I want to say God bless that Marine.
And we couldn't have said it better, Steve.
We talked about this yesterday, that the system in America is rigged against the little guy, is rigged against the veteran, the manufacturer, is rigged against those people going in and out of work all day long, and all they want to do is have agency and have the ability to buy and sell things that are legally in the market.
I tweeted that out today.
The whole ape army is all about agency, basic power that all Americans need to have.
Being told that you can't buy AMC when you want or GameStop when you want is the same as being told, well, you can't buy milk when you want.
These are publicly available goods, publicly available stocks.
And to say that, oh, you're not smart enough, you're not good enough, what's next?
steve bannon
Are we going to have some sort of test for people who... But hang on, it's not, hang on, but it's just not buying them, it's that you're so stupid, you don't know, you're the dumb one, you don't know when to sell.
And all they're doing to force the selling is to save the hedge funds.
They're saying, you're idiots, you don't know the value of these companies, you don't know what you're doing.
You should sell!
You know, Graham's book on valuation, the Wall Street research reports.
You should sell!
You should sell!
And all they're trying to do is save the hedge funds that have come in here to make a quick buck and destroy these American companies, and now they're jammed up.
And they've got a bunch of Americans saying, you know what I'm going to do?
Buy and hold.
unidentified
Okay?
steve bannon
And if you lose a half a billion dollars a day, that's your problem.
Now here's the sad thing about it.

Sorry if electronic trading doesn't agree with that, because you've got to remember, Wall Street today is not Wall Street of 10, 20, 30 years ago.
Everything is electronic.
Literally, firms move to the southern tip of Jersey City to buy a nanosecond over firms who are at the southern tip of Manhattan Island.
That is how quickly trading happens.
And then when you have Americans take the power into their own hands, take agency into their own hands, and own the stock, for the stock not as part of some really fancy formula when you dump double shoulders head not this and that which i've always believed is voodoo nonsense by the way well that that upsets that formula it upsets the electro electronic trading and that is yeah when people like charlie gasparino are being bought and paid for and told what to say come on they're
steve bannon
just there's they're there they're at the complete beck and call it's worth the big money the other The other thing the veterans said is that the underpinnings of civic society, this is what we keep saying, it's the cops, it's the firemen, it's the nurses, it's the teachers, it's the soldiers, it's the sailors, it's the dads coaching Little League, it's the moms doing Girl Scouts.
The reason we have the robust capital markets It's not some great theory about efficient markets.
The reason we have the robust and most liquid capital markets in the world is one simple fact.
The deplorables.
It's upon your shoulder it all rests.
That's the safety and security of the United States.
Don't give me highfalutin stuff about Wall Street and all this stuff.
It's all crap.
It depends.
The robustness and liquidity of our capital markets is upon one thing.
It's on the shoulders of the deplorables and that's what that guy's saying.
And God bless them.
Because I tell you, they're not just out there to make money.
They're not just out there to crush these hedge funds.
They're out there to go to the heart of a corrupt system and destroy it.
Okay?
And they're on the march.
And I gotta tell you, you're not gonna back these guys off.
boris epshteyn
Yeah.
This is what we ran on in 2016.
The rigged system.
This is what President Trump was and is.
The representative of blue collar Americans.
Manufacturers.
Policemen.
The members of the military.
That's who he stands up for.
He gave us a voice.
He gave Americans a voice.
And that is why he's so beloved.
And that's what this movement is all about.
The MAGA movement is about the backbone of America.
And, real quick, it is vital to tie what's going on.
steve bannon
But the question gets to be, you've got to be that, but you can't play, you've got to watch these Wall Street guys, right?
You've got to watch them every second.
Schwarzman, Fink, all of them.
Too many, playing up too cozy sometimes to the Oval Office.
That East Room thing with the China deal.
boris epshteyn
Now Blackstone controls the Biden Oval Office, right?
steve bannon
That's a topic.
That's a topic for another day.
I want to go now to Sherry Marks.
And by the way, the other blockbuster news in a day of blockbuster news, ladies and gentlemen, the Biden administration.
Let me repeat that.
The Biden administration has announced they're beginning a formal investigation of Tony Fauci, NIH, the funding of gain of function, the funding, their relationship with Wuhan.
Natalie Winters is on assignment.
Raheem's out working.
We're trying to get those both on the show, but we want to go to the one and only Sherry Markson.
She's got a blockbuster book coming out in the fall, in September, by HarperCollins on a global release called What Really Happened in Wuhan.
Sherry, it's got to be a great day for you.
Something you've fought for for a long time, to have people actually start to look under the hood.
It's brilliant.
We've been talking about this on your show.
I've been reporting on it in The Australian on Sky News for months and months now.
the relationship with Wuhan, all of it in the Bat Lady.
unidentified
What do you have to say, Sherry Markson, on a day of victory? It's brilliant. We've been talking about this on your show. I've been reporting on it in The Australian, on Sky News for months and months now. The fact that the US government, NIH, was funding this dangerous coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
We've been talking about how Anthony Fauci, who decided by himself to lift the gain-of-function ban that was in place from the Obama administration in 2014.
In 2017, he lifts it.
He doesn't tell anyone else at the White House.
And even when the ban was in place, the money from NIH and other US agencies was flowing through a sub-grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
It's been so frustrating how Fauci has been getting away with denying the fact that gain-of-function research happened at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
And you saw Shazang Li said the same thing in her New York Times interview just the other day, just yesterday.
But in fact, there was gain-of-function research going on at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
You can see this from their scientific papers.
They can't deny this.
This is brilliant that finally there will be hopefully a proper rigorous investigation into what exactly the NIH has been funding and why.
To what benefit is this dangerous work on coronavirus that there is no benefit to mankind and in genetically manipulating coronaviruses to create even more deadly and more infectious diseases.
So let's hope this investigation has teeth.
Let's hope it uncovers what's been going on here.
Steve, we saw from those emails that were released from BuzzFeed that in the very earliest days of the outbreak, Anthony Fauci is worrying about whether the NIH money went abroad, was how he put it in the email.
And he tasked his deputy to get onto it straight away in quite a patronizing email. So he's been worried about this for a long time, yet he didn't mention it in any of the White House meetings. Let's hope this investigation gets to the bottom of it. Here's the key thing, what she just said.
steve bannon
In all these meetings they had for months, from January, February, March, April, May, never mention it.
I don't want to give away something that's on the book, but I don't want to tease it.
I want everybody to go to Amazon and get this book today.
It's What Really Happened in the Wuhan Lab by Sherry Marks and Harper Collins.
I think we've got an amazing cover.
Just tease!
All of a sudden, on December 19th of 2017, a proclamation comes out from NIH and NIAID that says, hey, the Obama restrictions are off, we're back in business, gain of function, and financing it.
You're saying in your book, you've got evidence that you're going to put forward when the book comes out.
that shows that Anthony Fauci, that Tony Fauci himself, gamed the system by somehow going to a junior person or somehow going to somewhere in the White House and making sure it kind of slipped under the cracks. Is that what you're saying?
unidentified
Yes, my investigation for my book showed that he had a meeting with the Office of Science and Technology Policy, a very junior, it is in the White House, but it's a very junior meeting.
It's not like he went and got permission from any of the senior officials to lift this ban on gain-of-function research.
He had a very junior meeting and the way one official described it to me is it got rammed through.
So there was no consultation about this.
And Steve, I've literally interviewed the top national security officials on the record in the book.
And they weren't even aware of anything called gain of function until the media reports this year.
And you'd think...
That if you were the top medical advisor to the President and you had a new outbreak of a novel coronavirus in Wuhan, you might actually raise in one of those meetings that, well, we know what's happening at that laboratory because we've been funding it.
He never said that.
He kept absolutely silent.
This is a cover up of the most monumental proportions.
And what ended up happening is that other officials, the investors, The investigative agency in the State Department under Mike Pompeo and then journalists and other watchdog bodies as well like Waste Watch.
Everyone had to start unpicking this and piecing it together in a jigsaw puzzle.
Whereas what Fauci should have done in the very earliest meeting is, well actually we know there's a lab in Wuhan that's been doing this research because I've been funding it.
steve bannon
Sure.
Right before you let you go, you know, there have been a couple of great Australian journalists that have come to Capitol Hill and testified in years past about the Chinese Communist Party infiltration in Australia as an example, and I went over and was able to meet some of these guys.
It was amazing.
If you were called upon the release of your book in September to come and be a witness at some hearing on Capitol Hill, would you do that?
unidentified
Of course, Steve.
This is the most important topic in the world.
I support every single investigation to get to the bottom of what has happened here.
3.7 million people have been killed.
That never needed to happen.
Even if this was a natural outbreak, and it looks like the virus was subject to gain-of-function research, but even if it was a naturally occurring disease, China could have stopped The global transmission.
It could have said, hey, we have a coronavirus.
Let's shut the borders.
Let's alert the World Health Authority.
Instead, you had Tedros and you had Xi Jinping and every world leader saying there is no human to human transmission.
There is nothing to see here.
When Trump, when Australia, when New Zealand shut the borders on December 31 and January 1st, 2020, when they shut down travel from China, The World Health Organization spoke out against it.
China spoke out against it.
And yet at the same time, we know they were shutting down internal flights from Wuhan.
So this has just been the most extraordinary, irresponsible, egregious conduct from the CCP that has allowed the virus to spread globally.
And everyone knows someone who has lost, if not a family member, a friend, Someone to this virus and it's destroyed all of our lives.
steve bannon
Sherry, what is your social media?
Got about a minute left.
What's your social media?
How do people get access to you?
unidentified
Just Sherry Markson on Twitter.

And it's a great investigation if I don't say so myself.
steve bannon

Okay, let's go back to Arizona and Catherine O'Neill.
Catherine, you know the deplorables as well as anybody.
You've been with us for a long time, for many, many years.
It's 118 degrees out there.
The attitude, I know, it's as tough as boot leather, folks in Arizona.
You've been out there in due diligence.
How are they taking the fact that Merrick Garland is threatening, the Attorney General of the United States, is threatening to shut this down and basically implying criminal charges for people who are going to be involved in the canvassing?
What do you think the attitude is out there?
catharine oneill gillihan
Listen, this is the battleground for the future of election integrity right here in Arizona.
And thank God for federalism and thank God for state senators like Wendy Rogers who are doing the due diligence and searching for the truth.
Because other than that, I don't know what the hope is.
I don't know if people are going to be able to believe in our election system after this.
And this is a process that's starting here in Arizona, and the way that I've seen it, it's very organized, it's very professional, and this should be duplicated in every other battleground state in which there were election irregularities.
So if Mayor Garland wants to bully people like the State Senate here in Arizona, that's his prerogative, but it's not going to stop them.
It's not going to stop them from finding the truth, getting answers, being professional, and getting to the bottom of this problem.
steve bannon
Catherine, what's your Twitter feed?
I know you're from Wyoming.
You're up in Wyoming now.
What's your Twitter feed so people can follow you?
catharine oneill gillihan

So stay tuned for more.
steve bannon
God bless you, Catherine.
You're a real warrior.
We love you.
Catherine O'Neill.
catharine oneill gillihan
Thanks, Steve.
steve bannon
Another one's tough as boot leather out there in those western states.
Remember, the western states are the salvation of us all.
Trust me.
Those folks out there are not going to back down one inch.
Don't want to hear it, okay?
I want to bring in Boris Epstein.
Boris, first.
Give me your assessment, Arizona.
Give me your assessment of the Attorney General, who really hasn't been with us.
It's been crickets.
He's firing back on Merrick Garland, Madeline Peltz.
He's firing back, and then I want to talk about Georgia.
I've only got a couple of minutes, so I'll give it five minutes.
Walk me through Arizona first, sir, and then Georgia.
boris epshteyn
I love how much play Madeline Peltz has gotten on the show today.
Name-checked a lot.
I'm sure she's excited as she's watching this show.
And Madeline, I don't know if I looked washed up to you.
I think I look pretty good, but you know what?
If you want to call me washed up, In the next article, God bless.
Whatever makes you happy, dear.
Whatever makes you happy, Madeline.
Okay?
So, and then you're the insurrection.
steve bannon
Don't take it personally.
Don't take it personally.
It's all said with love.
Don't take it personally.
Just tell me about Arizona.
boris epshteyn
When I was at St.
Clair, Pam Vogel, you had to watch every single one of my segments.
Pam Vogel at Media Matters watched more of my segments than my own parents.
unidentified
Okay?
boris epshteyn
Thanks, Pam.
For the love, I really appreciate you always being there for me, okay?
She was always there!
It was just, you know, watching my YouTube videos, it was so nice!
It was so nice, you know?
My grandma made sure the rest of the peace isn't around anymore, so Pam Vogel got to watch everything I did.
Wonderful.
So, in Arizona, the count is literally, minute by minute, about to end.
They're counting the final ballots, the Braille, the military ballots.
They're counting those, and then we should have more information about the missing ballots, the removed, repositioned, changed, deleted, whatever you may call it, database.
That is all going to, that's likely all going to come out.
We'll have more information from that.
But in terms of any actual results, remember, it's the recount and the recanvass.
The count and the canvas.
I know there's a lot of questions out there.
Among the deplorables, the MAGA posse, the canvas is slated to move forward after the count is done.
And then they're also going to study the machines.
So that's Arizona.
The freight train of audits, that is the birthplace of the freight train of audits in Arizona, continues to be the absolute vital point of getting to the bottom of 2020.
Here's what you said that's vital.
Mark Bronovich, the Attorney General of Arizona, not somebody who's part of the MAGA movement necessarily, right?
He's now coming on, firing back at Merrick Garland.
Then you've got anti-Trump Raffensperger in Georgia saying he's going to have an investigation into the chain of custody documents for 19,000 ballots in Fulton County, Georgia alone that don't have it.
Now, we've got to make sure that it's a real investigation, a true investigation, not just rhino nonsense.
But what you're seeing, you're seeing a shift that now the establishment Republicans, Are coming and trying to join the MAGA Movement's drive to get to the bottom of November 3rd.
And here's what I'll say.
As long as it's real, as long as they actually do what they say, and they're accountable, welcome.
Come on in.
The water is warm.
Great.
You want to do an investigation in Georgia?
Have it be honest and forensic?
Do it.
You want to push back on Attorney General Merrick Garland in Arizona coming in and trying to federalize the ballots?
Do it.
Great.
In Pennsylvania, we need the state senator's corpsman, Dave Argyle, to issue a subpoena.
We need an Arizona-level Arizona-level audit in Pennsylvania.
Those are the hottest states right now, but there's more.
We've got Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire.
This freight train of audits is only at the beginning of its trip, and it's going to pick up more and more and more steam.
All eyes on Arizona, on Georgia, on Pennsylvania.
From there, Michigan, Wisconsin, so on and so forth.
steve bannon
Okay, so Boris, give us your social media handles.
Can people follow you?
boris epshteyn
Absolutely.
At BorisEP on Twitter, Boris underscore Epstein, Boris underscore E-P-S-H-T-E-Y-N on the gram, always coming in hot.
Madeleine Peltz, make sure you're following me, at BorisEP on Twitter.
God bless.
Stay strong.

Okay, I want to say congratulations to our managing editor, who was here from starting right before Christmas, just left us today.
Liz Harrington goes over and takes Jason Miller's place as the top communications person for President Trump.
Jason was our co-host when we started this show.
It wore him impeachment, hung through pandemic, and then he went to the campaign.
Liz came in right afterwards.
After the election, did a fantastic job and a thankless job doing the newsletters, the clips, being the managing editor of all the sites.
It was a grind.
She's up next, I think, on Real America's Voice.
Jenna Ellis, an exclusive interview with the one and only Liz Harrington.
She's a rock star.
She's going to really serve the president well.
The whole war room posse unites and saying hey great job here and great job just grind it out for the president like you did here.
Jenna Ellis will be up next with an exclusive interview with the one and only Liz Harrington tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Darren Beatty's on Tucker tonight.
Tomorrow morning part two of this explosive investigation.
We've got Rainer Jackson.
There's going to be Steve Cortez.
A lot going on tomorrow.
