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.
That this is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room.

Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
The DC swamp is knee-deep in garbage and it's time someone takes out the trash.
AOC, that means you.
In just a little over two years in Congress, AOC made a name for herself at the expense of her constituents in the 14th Congressional District of New York.
After living all my life in New York City, I've never been so embarrassed by someone as I am of AOC.
She went to Congress as a joke.
It's the only thing that makes sense.
AOC and her squad of commies are only good for one thing, and that's showing the American people how anti-American they really are.
While Joe Biden is asleep, rampant socialists are running the country from within Congress.
Democrats have converted to communists, and they are destroying America right in front of us.
Just look at New York.
The NYPD was defunded $1 billion in 2020, while our country was burnt to the ground.
And I will call it out.
During the violent 2020 BLM riots in New York City, you can be arrested for shopping at a department store because of a pandemic.
But if you looted it and burnt it to the ground, that was okay.
It was in the name of justice for George Floyd.
It's time for a real patriot to go to Congress and defend the country from falling into real chaos.
I'm real Tina Forti.
I'm a mother.
I am a grandmother.
I am a small business owner.
And I am unapologetically America First.
And I am running for Congress in District 14 against AOC in New York.
Real America's Voice presents America's Voice Live with Tudor Dixon and Steve Gruber.
I mean, Anthony Fauci has had COVID.
He's also been vaccinated.
And so for him to parade around in two masks, it was for theater.
And they were all kind of in this together.
National Institutes for Health, the CDC, the teachers' unions, the nurses' unions.
Come on.

Real America's Voice presents Just the News AM with Sophie Mann.
Talk to us a little bit about what this week has looked like in your part of the country, you know, with people lining up for everyday commodities.
The price of food, the price of lumber, the price of gas.
rogan dc draino ohandley
I mean, I honestly didn't think it was possible to do this much damage to America in four months, but I guess that's the first thing that Joe Biden has impressed me on.

steve bannon
Okay, we had a little technical problem there.
You saw the open was with Bronx Tina.
She just announced she's running for Congress against AOC.
You're in the Fight Club.
This is the War Room.
It is Thursday, the 24th of June, Year of Our Lord 2021.
We want to apologize.
Had a massive drop sink with our mothership in Denver.
We're all straight now.
We got the Fight Club co-host.
We got Mike Lindell.
In studio today, Mike, thank you very much for joining us for two hours.
We're going to be going through all your court cases, everything that's going on with voter fraud throughout the nation, how you've inspired the country.
Got our wingman, Mary Beth, here.
She's become the new spokesman for Mike Pillow, at least on the show.
And the biggest fan club, head of the fan club for Lindell.
We've got his MTG on.
Do we have it?
Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to join us.
Congressman Greene, you and Lindell have inspired this kind of fight club of people.
Michael Patrick Leahy is launching today the Arizona Sun, I think his seventh newspaper.
We're going to have later one of the fathers from the Critical Race Theory throw down at Loudoun County where they arrested individuals the other day on the transgender issue, I think it was.
You guys have inspired people throughout the nation to get off the sofa and say, hey look, I'm running for school board, I'm joining the precinct committee men, I'm running for Congress, I'm not going to sit there and take it anymore.
The inspiration of you two has been incredible.
Congressman Green, this is what I think people love most about you.
I know we're here today to talk about this bill, but I've got to ask you, you are like, they say, look, we love her.
And we don't care if the Republicans are throwing her off committee.
She's a fighter.
She's tried to stop all this stuff from Pelosi.
She's the one that took on the Jihad squad.
You can see it right there with Bronx Tina.
They're saying, hey, look, we're focused on getting these Marxists and these communists out of Congress.
We're going to do it.
And Lindell, I think Omar is your district back in Minnesota, right?
That is correct.
So, Congressman Green, talk about this inspiration you've given working class and middle class people to get involved and sit there and go, look, we're going to take our country back and we're going to do it if we have to run for school board, if we have to run as a precinct committeeman for the Republican Party, if we've got to run for Congress.
Talk to us about this inspiration.
marjorie taylor greene
Well, I'm so fired up, Steve.
I'm telling you, I'm literally cheering, watching these people get involved because I've been I've been calling for them for a long time now, and I'm excited to see real Americans, people that work hard every single day and truly love our country and everything it stands for and our freedoms, actually step up to the plate and run for their positions, whether it's school board, city council, county commissioner, mayor, governor, senator, congressman, whatever it is.
I'm just excited they're doing it.
And what they need to know is I'm literally cheering for every single one of them.
But I have a bit of advice.
I want to see them get themselves in races where they can use good strategy and can get great help to actually win.
Because sometimes we see wonderful people, and I just love that ad you just played from this fantastic woman in New York, Tina.
But I want to see people like Tina run in districts where they can win.
And I hate to see someone that's so passionate and is going to give it their all and then run in a solid blue district where a Republican just can't win.
So we need these fired up people, these people that are really ready to get to work and do the job for what it is and not care about being a celebrity or caring about popularity or fame or any of that stuff, because that's not what this is about.
I need people that are really ready to get involved and do the job, but can also get involved and run in races where it's possible to win.
And that's what I'm hoping to see, because that's how we get more America First people in Congress.
We get America First people on school boards.
We get America First people in every single level.
And that's what I'm, I literally pray for it every single day.
steve bannon
Let's talk about this for a second because, you know, Lyndell, you were giving money to RGA and then you go and you get booted.
As soon as they know that you want to confront Governor Kemp down in Georgia at this thing, they give you the bums rush.
So, MTG, Congressman Green, talk about that.
What kind of support?
I know you don't have a lot of support from the establishment, right?
You want to get people in there that can win.
Tell me what the agenda is.
When you say America First, do you not have colleagues that are supporting that?
I know you've got the Freedom Caucus or whatever.
What do we need to do to inspire people?
Who do we need?
And how are you going to help take this Congress back?
Because you're looked at as one of the leaders of this, not the guys that are the leaders right now.
marjorie taylor greene
Well, thank you, Steve.
I really appreciate that.
And I'm grateful that you say that.
And people believe it and give me wonderful messages.
But I have to tell you, it's all about putting one foot in front of the other and doing the right thing at all times.
It's about being truthful.
It's about doing exactly what we say we're going to do.
And not be afraid.
You can't back down.
The media will try to take down any person that is literally, really honestly trying to fight for this country because the media is filled with nothing but Democrat activists.
And their goal is the same as the Democrat Party's goal, which is socialism for America.
And not just socialism.
Socialism will be the bridge to communism.
Because that's how it all starts, and they're all Marxist.
So right now, they're in the phase where they have to tear down every ounce of structure that we have in our country.
And remember, we're a nation founded by God-fearing men that wrote our Constitution.
But we're no longer a nation full of God-fearing men and women.
We're a divided nation where half of our country has bought into the lie where government is God and government can fill their needs.
And so for people, anybody that's watching this, anyone that is already throwing their name in the hat, people that are running, I do have some advice for you.
One thing you have to watch for is redistricting.
That is going to drastically change congressional districts.
It's going to change House and state seats in your state.
And it will change a lot.
And then you also need to understand The home team that's already in place, what we could call the establishment, well, they're definitely picking and choosing the candidates that they want to see win in these newly drawn districts.
So this is a difficult and it's a different type of election year.
And I'm just being very honest with everyone.
It's not your, like when I ran last cycle, the congressional seats were in place.
So I knew exactly where I could go and I just had to work my way in and And campaign to the people.
That's also another thing you need to understand.
You're campaigning to the people and no one else because it's the people that will vote you in and the people will send you to do the job.
And that's very, very important to remember because people get sidetracked and forget that.
But you have to, you need to get some advice and reach out and find out what's happening with redistricting in your area and your state so that you fully understand after redistricting Where you will be running for that position.
School boards are different, of course, but House and Senate seats and then congressional lines are definitely going to change.
You know, there's some seats where there will be congressional districts that will be combined.
So you'll have possibly two sitting members of Congress, two Republicans having to run against each other.
Well, if you're looking at running in a district like that, that is a that's a mountain that's probably going to be very difficult to climb.
and would cost a lot, way too much money.
And so that's why I'm really giving the best advice I can is to make sure you understand how things are going to shake out.
steve bannon
I wanna take this topic on about these blue dishes like you can say, you'll see.
Omar, real quickly, Omar, Omar, Omar, why is Omar in Congress and why people say she can't be defeated, she can't be, she can't be thrown out of office in an election process?
mike lindell
Well, a couple of things.
One is we're going to get rid of all the machines, but this is that horizontal track Since I got thrown into politics, basically, what I've noticed is you have all these Democrats and Republicans and they have either a political agenda or a personal agenda they don't have for the people.
And that's what's going to change now.
That's one thing that this is all going to manifest into this huge change where you're going to get people put in And you get rid of the machines, and now the people are going to actually make the choices, and they're going to choose people that are for the people.
steve bannon
And that's important.
Do you think the machines alone in a district like the Blue District in Minneapolis, where Omar's from, you think it's the machines that do it, and not just the fact that they've done everything they've done to dissuade her so that she can't be beaten?
mike lindell
It's definitely both.
steve bannon
And do you think she's a Marxist?
mike lindell
Absolutely.
steve bannon
Any doubt in your mind?
mike lindell
Yeah, no doubt in my mind.
steve bannon
So when MTG calls the Jihad Squad out and says there's markets, no doubt in your mind she's correct?
unidentified
100%.
steve bannon
Why is it 100%?
mike lindell
Ground zero.
What goes on in Minnesota, you have, but with Omar and that whole district, it's changed over the last 5-10 years too.
That's where I used to hang out down there, right in the heart of Minneapolis.
steve bannon
Before your conversion to Christianity and read the book.
During your pre-good guy days.
mike lindell
Right, yeah.
I was a good guy.
of bad hombres. I was just going down the wrong path, okay?
But when I say, with this election, if you put in, even districts like that, you can win back because the people, not only have we shown, we get rid of the machines obviously, but you've shown all this stuff that goes on and you've shown the real votes, it was a lot tilted than you think to Donald Trump.
steve bannon
Hang on.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We only get so much time with MTG.
We're going to bring her back.
She's going to be discussing.
She's the one that has stood up and tried to slow down this entire process to show you what we're doing.
This infrastructure bill that the moderate Republicans are working with, and we said you should put your pencils down because these Senate seats in Arizona and Georgia, to me, are up in the air till we get to the bottom of all of it.
Mitch McConnell and these guys, they're working together.
They've got an infrastructure bill that's a compromise, a disaster.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is the only person with the courage, I think in all of Congress right now, to call it out step by step.
We're going to bring her back.
She's going to deconstruct how, and this is what's going to bury future generations.
Trillion dollar bill here, two trillion dollar bill there.
All next in the War Room.
Marjorie Taylor Greene brings the heat.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, you're back in the War Room, and today it's the Fight Club.
We've got Marjorie Taylor Greene, we've got Mike Lindell.
Mike Lindell's going to go and start the Dominion.
The whole Dominion suit's going to start today.
Federal Courts.
Mike's going to be everywhere.
Big press conference.
We're going to be calling all the top reporters in the country here momentarily when we get to Mike, but we've got to spend this time with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
We only have her for a few minutes.
Congressman Greene, two things.
I want to get the infrastructure in the first year.
The first one, calling this thing out for what it is, really the Green New Deal, and we don't know why we're collapsing to the Jihad squad to do this, but I've got to ask you first about the war on women.
I know you're an athlete.
We've got all the videos you're working out all the time.
Very inspirational.
Walk through this war on women, the transgender situation, the Olympics, all the sports.
Talk to me about the Democrats' war on women.
marjorie taylor greene
Well, I think it's first very important to point out the Democrat strategy is they separate everyone by identity and then they create victimhood, right?
So they want every single type of identity, whether it's women, transgenders, blacks, Hispanics, they want everybody to be a victim and then they need them to be dependent on the Democrats and their policies and their plans and goals in order to be able to survive, literal survival.
But the Democrats were always the ones, you know, calling out and talking about women's rights.
And thankfully, decades ago, we had brave women and men who actually fought for women's rights.
And that's how we we have women's sports.
We have women's competing in the Olympics.
And we have, you know, women have been able to achieve an education.
And then there's high school sports and college sports and so on.
But yet now we have the Democrat Party Who claims to be the champion for women.
They claim that abortion is pregnancy rights.
You know, but instead that's killing a baby in a woman's womb.
It's actually the worst, worst scar a woman can carry.
steve bannon
Hold it!
Women, women are not, women, aren't they in the, all the documents they're putting through and all the bills, they're called birthing persons or birthing units or something.
They're not even identified as women.
Am I missing that?
I thought in all these policies, they're birthing units.
marjorie taylor greene
Yes, something like that, birthing, but no, we're mothers.
Only a woman can have a baby, and that makes us mothers, not birthing persons.
But now the Democrats, their war on women has gone to an area that is beyond anything we can possibly understand.
By putting men, men, biological men, these are men, and I say they're playing dress up, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, but they are literally having an identity crisis, they're dressing up like women, Um, and then they want to be recognized as a woman, which they are not, they never will be.
And I refuse to recognize them that way.
It's not about their feelings.
We have to stick with the truth and facts.
And you know, if you care about women, then you care about women having, we, we should have our sports and not have to compete with biological men like this Laurel Hubbard, um, that is competing in the Olympics and who beat Women who have trained their entire lives to compete in the Olympics.
Well, they don't get the opportunity to compete in the Olympics because this man named that calls himself Laurel Hubbard.
is competing in the Olympics, and that's outrageous.
I mean, this is something that everyone should fight for.
steve bannon
But hang on, Congressman Greene.
President Trump stopped Madison and these guys over at the Pentagon.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Aren't the taxpayers that are listening to this show now going to pay for the surgery of people that have entered the military and want transgender surgery?
And the taxpayers in this nation are going to pay for it?
And they're all high-fiving each other over there?
You got the Veterans Affair guys coming up and saying it's a great day.
Talk about that.
It's one thing for a guy to play dress-up or do whatever you're saying they're doing.
It's another thing for the taxpayers to have to foot the bill for this.
What's your comments on that and why is that not being brought up more by the Republicans in the House right now in a firestorm being created about why taxpayers are paying for this?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, first of all, the Republicans are constantly just worrying about messaging and winning in 2022 and fundraising instead of actually fighting the actual war that is taking place in America.
But no, the military is not meant for transgender surgery.
It's not a place for people to work out their issues and try to change their identity.
The military's entire purpose is for defense for our country.
And that's the only thing it should be.
That's what these men and women that sign up for the military for.
They're trained to be soldiers.
And soldiers that work together as a team to defend our nation and our tax dollars should only be spent for that, not spending for people's hormone therapy or breast implants or transgender therapy or whatever they're trying to do through the military.
That is absolutely not what our military is for.
And you see, here's why we're here, Steve, because years ago we had something drip like poison into the water system of this country, and that's called political correctness.
Because everyone got so overly concerned with hurting each other's feelings, people stopped telling the truth.
Well, the reason why America is crumbling is because of decades now, people have stopped telling the truth because, oh, well, that might hurt someone's feelings.
Well, the reality is truth may hurt your feelings, but dealing with truth is the place where you can solve problems.
You can actually achieve goals.
And we can function as a, as a real society, but we're not doing that anymore because we're too worried.
And we've been, it's been ingrained in our society to not hurt people's feelings.
Well, here's why, you know, this is why I'm here in Congress.
I'm not concerned about hurting people's feelings.
I'm concerned about speaking the truth and solving problems.
And that's why with this transgender issue, you know what?
It's not about this guy or any other guy that's trying to be a woman.
It's not about their feelings.
It's about the fact they need to stay out of our women's sports.
They need to stay out of our daughters' bathrooms and locker rooms.
And they need to stay out of our girls' high school teams and college sports.
And they need to stay out of our rape crisis centers and our women's prisons.
steve bannon
Okay, you speak truth.
You've got to get to this infrastructure bill because you're the first one to identify this.
The infrastructure bill, your theory of the case is this is just the Green New Deal.
You've got all these Republican senators walking around saying, this shows unity, this shows we can work with Biden, this shows the country can come together.
What say you, MTG?
What is this bill really about and what are you going to do about it?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, I'll tell you exactly.
I'm very upset about one thing.
There was one committee I had requested.
When I became a member of Congress and that was the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
And the reason why I specifically requested that committee, because I knew it was going to be a battleground fight for the soul of this nation, because I had read ahead of time what Democrats want with infrastructure.
You see, what they want with infrastructure has nothing to do with roads and bridges and waterways and ports.
It doesn't even have anything to do with broadband.
What infrastructure to them is, is changing America to socialism.
With the Green New Deal and what they want to do and what they are going to do if they get their way with infrastructure plans.
They're going to spend trillions of dollars and in the process, we will no longer be driving gas and diesel cars and trucks, but you'll be forced into electric vehicles.
And the big danger with that is they also want us to be dependent on China because China dominates the battery market that makes the batteries that goes inside of electric vehicles.
Now, I'm giving it to you in a very simple manner, but we can break it down in the details.
Within this bill, they also want to change the entire federal fleet.
That's over 600,000 cars, vehicles.
They want to change them to electric vehicles.
That means every single federal vehicle will be dependent on China's batteries.
I don't want to be dependent on China.
I mean, haven't we learned a lesson this past year that China is our real enemy and we don't want to depend on them for anything because they are not to be trusted.
Another thing with this infrastructure package is they want to switch us over to what they call green energy, solar, wind.
They want to take away coal-powered plants that can produce clean coal.
They want to stop drilling oil and natural gas.
Well, hello everybody.
Don't you remember Texas with the ice storm where the wind turbines froze up?
Has anyone paid to California for a long time now where they get rolling blackouts?
And today it's out in the news that even people in California that are all about green energy are begging California not to build all these electric charging stations all over the state because it's going to cause more rolling blackouts.
So the path that the Democrats are taking us down with this infrastructure deal is not only just flat out socialism and building more government programs, And it's the government taking charge of our private economy and industry and businesses.
It's also the most dangerous path we could go down.
Where we are virtually the greatest country in the world, we can flip on our lights anytime we want to and they work.
But then we'll be going down a path where that won't happen anymore.
steve bannon
And then we'll also... Congressman, hang on a second.
We've only got a couple of minutes.
Mitch McConnell and these guys are having a group hug right now in the Senate.
This thing's going to pass.
They're going to come out today and Joe Biden's going to be the big hero of the next couple of days.
A big group hug.
We've got two minutes.
What are you prepared to do about it, and how can this audience help you?
What do they have to do to have your back on this?
Because you're the first person to come out and speak truth to power on this thing.
It's the first time anybody's heard this.
All media is saying it's the greatest day in America because it's a group hug.
People are finally working together across the aisle.
What say you, and how can this audience help?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, let me tell you, anytime you hear the media talking about bipartisanship, there is no bipartisanship.
You cannot work across the aisle with a political party that is nothing but socialism.
I haven't seen it yet.
And so if there's bipartisanship, yeah, Republicans are caving to Democrat socialist plans.
So there is no kumbaya.
I think it's a sad day for America when they work out this infrastructure plan.
But here's how I need help.
I'm constantly attacked because you hear me saying the things that I'm saying today.
And so anybody that's willing to help throw in a donation for me, go to mtg4america.com, mtg4america.com.
They have lawsuits against me.
They are attacking me.
And the DCCC has already said I'm the number one target for 2022.
And they're going to use me and some kind of character the media has created to attack Republicans all over the country.
Well, I will not stand for it because I'm going to be fighting back.
And that's why we're traveling the country.
You'll see me on Saturday with President Trump at his rally, and I'm so excited to go, and I cannot wait for President Trump to take the stage again with his rallies.
And so we're fighting for America first all across the country, and I'm cheering for all of you that are considering running for office or have already thrown your name in the hat.
I really am.
I'm excited to have nothing but patriots in the halls of Congress.
steve bannon
One more.
You're going to be in Ohio.
One more quick thing.
What's the site again?
We got about 10 seconds.
What's your site?

You're a fighter and a hero and this audience loves you.
We're going to get very piling to this now.

War Room Pandemic with Stephen K Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room Pandemic.
Here's your host Stephen K Bannon.
steve bannon
You know, Ecclesiastes says there's a season for everything.
Look, we're in a season.
This is the fight club.
If you want to take your country back, you don't have to fight to take your country back.
Now, here's what I said the other day when I was on the Great Tim Pool Show.
People talking about, oh, you know, the gun, insurrection, Civil War, everything.
We're winning!
We're winning.
The ground game of getting to the bottom of what happened with the voter fraud, Arizona's going to blow people's heads up.
Georgia's going to blow people's heads up.
Pennsylvania's going to blow people's heads up.
We're going to have Boise this morning or Saturday.
The Michigan reports, that's all nonsense.
That's all the establishment trying to cover.
So we're going to win across the board.
But then we've got Lyndale at the air game.
He's caught the Chinese Communist Party red-handed.
He's coming in there.
He's daring the world.
He says, hey, put up or shut up.
I'm going to show all my stuff.
He's going over to court today.
We've got to fight this.
And I keep telling people, you don't need the Insurrection Act.
We won the election.
We've got the votes.
And you can tell from this populist movement, you're getting more and more people in.
And look at that.
Look at Bronx Tina, right?
Throwing down on AOC.
There's going to be somebody who throws down on Omar and says, hey, I can take you on.
I don't care if it's a D plus 22.
And you've got the fighters like MTG.
She's been hit by lawsuits because they don't want fighters.
We're going to have her back.
I'm going to talk to her later about this whole thing on the lawsuits.
But we've got breaking news.
By the way, go to promo code War Room on MyPillow.com.
I'm here to prove today that I'm a better spokesman than my sister, Mary Beth, who ran the tables and even Lindell.
I'm a better spokesman.
mike lindell
I called you up, I said, Steve, I said, what happened?
You know, it doubled or whatever.
steve bannon
Can you stop that?
I haven't told her that yet.
Her agent's already called me.
The whole reason I got this thing is Lindell is coming on the show and he says, hey, I put up promo code Mike and you're toning it.
I said, fine, let's talk about that.
We've got breaking news though.
MTG is going to be there.
Trump's coming back and doing rallies.
He's got a big old-fashioned Trump rally in Ohio on Saturday.
You've got MTG.
The Fight Club is coming together.
And now we're going to break some news.
Is Mike Lindell going to be there?
mike lindell
Absolutely.
I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Because at all the rallies I've ever been to, I love going right up, not just with the people, but right up with the media.
If they can't avoid me there, maybe even Fox will have me on.
Wouldn't that be something?
steve bannon
By the way, you are on Fox.
Because every time I cut it on, you've got a Mike Lindell pillow ad.
mike lindell
Well, no, we keep those separate.
You know, people ask me that all the time.
They go, Mike, why do you keep advertising on Fox?
You know, you've been bad-mouthing them for not letting you on to tell the truth for America.
And I said, well, you know what?
I keep my pillow separate.
And I said, back in the day when they're going, every time Tucker or Laura or any of them would say something, you know, about that hog guy that time, that kid, then they'd go, you know, boycott Mike Lindell and boycott my pillow and all the... This is when he was going to start his pillow company.
No, this is way before, too.
But yeah, the fake pillow company, whatever.
steve bannon
That didn't last long, did it?
mike lindell
No, that was all just to block the Absolute Proof movie.
That's what they did.
That was just all deflection.
steve bannon
Oh, you're getting pretty sophisticated about this.
You know what they're doing now.
You're not just some guy from Fargo.
unidentified
You're pretty sophisticated.
mike lindell
I've got it figured out.
It's like living in a, you know, you're using them over here and we know, I know where they're coming from, what they're doing.
But back in the day they would boycott the Fox hosts and say, any of the MyPillows, any of the other companies on there.
Well, I would leave in fear, and it'd be stand-alone, there'd just be my pillow, and everybody, all the bots and trolls on Twitter going, boycott Mike Lindell and my pillow, and they go, don't boycott him, he'll double his ads, we see enough of that guy.
Well then they, but the CNN, I would tell people back then, you know, I advertise on CNN and MSNBC too, and they bad-mouth me directly, and I still do it.
So now you have it flipped, and you have Fox, who won't let me on, and won't let our country hear the truth about Dominion, Dominion, Dominion, or any of these other things.
And it's shameful that they, you know, here they're supposed to be represented, so what are their viewerships now?
I can tell by my ads, you're not getting your bang for your buck over there anymore, let me tell you that right now.
steve bannon
What do you mean by that?
mike lindell
It means their viewership had to go down because, you know, every ad I run, it will either break even or make you a little bit.
This is how my company runs now that we don't have the box stores.
Shame on you box stores out there.
steve bannon
Well, I want to talk about that for a second.
I want to talk about the economics of this, about what you put up.
MTG is getting crucified everywhere.
We're going to have her back because she's a fighter, right?
Let's talk about the box store and its capitalism in this country.
The economics for the box stores...
I think when I looked at the math you showed me, that this was one of the most profitable units, they call it.
mike lindell
Buy-throughs of every single box store.
My pillow was the number one.
steve bannon
In the highest margin they got.
mike lindell
It's called a buy-through on the floor.
In all but one point or another, and this included hardware stores too, big ones, where you would think it would be a jar of paint or a screwdriver, it was my pillow.
All the shopping monopolies, QVC, HSN, I'll call them out, Shop HQ, Minnesota, shame on you all.
Shame on Costco, shame on Kohl's, shame on Bed Bath & Beyond, the list goes on.
These guys, and they tried to lie and say, oh the sales were going down.
steve bannon
So when you look at it, they are the highest margin units, the velocity is big, they're making a lot of money off MyPillow.
mike lindell
Huge money they were making.
Huge money.
steve bannon
And they categorically came back and said, you're out.
mike lindell
Yep.
And they all did it together.
Some of them tried to sneak through and go, we're going to honor our contract, like Costco.
They were just sneaky and they waited until they thought it had died down.
Well, then they're the only one I got to call out.
Shame on you, Costco.
You're supposed to be about small business, capitalism, you know, coming in and helping small businesses.
That's not what they're about.
steve bannon
Has any executive at any of those companies ever asked to sit down and say let me hire a team or let me have a team of my executives sit down with your people and go through what you've got to see if it's crazy, logical, or at least some sort of middle ground where you can at least make some arguments.
Anybody said I'd like to see your evidence?
mike lindell
Zero.
When they all started dropping out, they'd have all their bigwigs call up and go, we're setting up the next, you know, we're just going to sit this out and see how this plays I go, and everyone's got to realize, they, you know, they stuck with me when I, you know, when I went all in for Donald Trump.
And they stuck with me when the Better Business Bureau, the crooked Better Business Bureau took me from an A plus to an F. Still an F is fantastic people.
steve bannon
The Better Business Bureau took you to an F?
mike lindell
Yeah, from an A plus to an F. When I went all in for Donald Trump in 2016, I was the media's darling.
I was up for the highest award with the Better Business, called the Torch Award, for the best customer service in the country, best company.
All of a sudden, they come and they go, you've ran your ads too long, their internal bylaws.
I go, say what?
You can't, you know, buy one, get one free.
What do you mean I ran it too long?
This is what they said in that meeting.
They go, I go, everybody runs a sale.
I, you know, here's your retail price and your, and your sale price.
And you know what they said to me?
They go, well, Mike, you're your own manufacturer.
And they're all in this big meeting in Minnesota.
And this is on November 15th of 2016.
I'll never forget it.
I go, And they go, but Mike, you're your own manufacturer.
And I said, so what are you saying?
If I made my stuff over in China and they recommended a retail price, I could run it on sale?
And she goes, yes.
I said, you should all be ashamed of yourself.
And I marched out of there.
I said, each and every one of you, I said, you just won't give me an F because no one's going to believe it.
They not only gave me an F, but they did a national press release to bring the BBB up to, they would be all in the news, but it backfired on them because this country got behind me and said, you know, we're not going to, You know, how did he go from bad, really your best company, to the worst in history overnight?
And it was all about this political thing.
And then when you have, like last spring, when I go out there and talk at the Rose Garden, speaking out for God, and the nation had turned its back on God, you know, you get attacked again.
Then when he came out with this therapeutic for the vaccine, I mean for the virus, for the China virus.
steve bannon
The Oleander?
The greatest segment in TV, modern TV history.
Anderson Cooper and you.
mike lindell
24 minute attack.
24 minutes.
steve bannon
They skipped a commercial break.
unidentified
They skipped three of them.
mike lindell
I bought an ad during that.
They preempted my own ad.
It's never happened in history, right?
So he taxed me for 24 minutes and we thought we'd go over to Fox and Fox would show the actual evidence, everything we had, the phase 1 and phase 2 testing.
Are you kidding?
Fox is going, oh look, you're not having us on.
I'm going, you know, you're not coming on.
I'm going, everything's shifted.
It started shifting then.
And then you get up to, but the box stores, they stayed with, at that time, that's when QVC and HSM went south.
I mean, during that time.
But then you get up to, You have the election.
All of a sudden, on January 9th, when I brought this evidence that makes sense because the election fraud was so... the numbers I had looked at for two months.
I'm doing mathematics myself.
steve bannon
People don't understand.
I know this guy.
You're a math machine.
You're almost like an idiot savant about math.
You know everything.
mike lindell
I got calculus in 8th grade.
steve bannon
This is also why you were a card counter in poker.
You were gambling for a reason.
No, because mathematically, you know it.
mike lindell
Yeah, so I'm looking not only for deviations, what I do every day.
That's where my pill is success.
We look at deviation numbers every single day.
So I'm looking at just in my own counties.
I'm doing, I have notebooks out.
I'm going through all this stuff and throwing money wherever things were in November, December.
Well, then I go, this is so massive.
You could not organically cheat enough.
There ain't enough people to sit there and cheat 10, 15 million votes because I'm looking, I go, this is beyond anything.
Well, then all of a sudden January 9th comes.
And I get brought this evidence that's different that would explain it.
You know, of course I had to go validate.
I spent, you know, two months validating the validators, hiring white hat hackers from the government, the best to protect our country.
So I'm validating all this.
But you know, as soon as that happens on January 9th, it really magnified on the 15th.
Mike Lindell's got some evidence to bring down that 100% proves this election.
Now the box stores all go south.
you know, they're going, they're winging it, I can just see it in their rooms.
Well, you know what? We're getting attacked by bots and trolls, which I did tell them back then. I said, these guys, these aren't real people, they're hired hit jobs.
And these box stores are going, oh, if we do this, if we put it, do this, we're going to have to pull back. Then it just started happening. They just piled on, you know, 22 of them in one week, in one week. And then they're trying to... So that is at the time 40% of your sales.
steve bannon
How do you make that decision as an entrepreneur?
2,500 people.
You've come from nowhere to be one of those prominent businessmen, and you're sitting there, and literally 40 or 50% of your sales are saying, Mike, if you don't change, we're out.
How do you look at half of your sales?
Just leave without understanding your company could collapse.
mike lindell
You gotta know who I am.
I'll tell you, in Minnesota, it's in my book, in Minnesota, I was in the restaurant bar business back in my day, and I made a stand for some law changes in Minnesota, and I lost everything.
It's one of those things, don't fight city hall.
I lost everything.
And you know what?
Four years later, I got calls from that industry and said, Mike, we know you lost everything, but you saved our industry and we want to thank you.
And I told them, I said, I would do it again because it was morally right.
I would not change.
I would do it again knowing I would lose everything.
And here we have everything at stake.
So I told, I was on Sean Hannity's radio show and Sean goes, when this was all happening, I said, I'm never, ever, in another box store makes it, I'm never taking you back.
And Chuck goes, Mike, you're forgiven, you'll take him back.
I said, no, I won't, ever.
So I had to make a decision then because at that point it was $65 million in sales going forward.
Now, I didn't know how we were going to make that up or shift, but the focus wasn't on that.
The focus was on saving this country and this attack by China on our country.
And so I didn't back down there and I'm going, and I'm going, why would I take these back?
See, Steve, it actually crossed over to TV just for a day.
We had these smaller stations.
There was about 15 of them kind of got together and said, we're going to back out for now.
And I said, if you back out today, don't ever come back.
I made a stand that morning and they flipped in four hours because they had seen with the box stores what I had said.
You leave, you ain't coming back.
If you start succumbing in fear of this cancer culture, it's over.
steve bannon
Let me ask you, we've got 30 seconds for your break.
Do you pray before?
What do you do?
Do you pray?
Do you ask God for guidance?
When you make those kind of inflection points, there's no coming back.
You said, I'm not coming back.
How do you come to that decision?
mike lindell
You know, I pray.
I'm proactive in prayer.
I've told people that before.
When people pray, they're going, well, my prayers didn't get answered.
Well, where's God?
It might not be God's will, but where's God's will?
God's will is in the Word.
And you stay in the Word and you pray.
You can be proactive.
They align a lot more.
And, uh, and it's, uh, you know, I make real, you know, Kendra and I, I'll make real fast prayers.
I go, I have to make really fast prayers to get answers real quick.
steve bannon
Short break.
We'll be back with, it's the Fight Club today, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mike Lindell.
Be back in a moment.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Hey, had the opportunity the other day to do the great Tim Pool Show.
Know we've got a lot of new viewers of this.
So this is the Populous Fight.
One of the things we're trying to highlight is people from the Fight Club.
People who have just come from, you know, Marjorie Taylor Greene was president of a basic construction company.
And, you know, she used to run it like she's worked her way up through the ranks.
Mike Lindell, his history, you ever get his book, it's absolutely incredible.
This guy was the most depraved drug addict, gambler.
The story's unbelievable.
One day it's going to make a great movie.
Whether you think of it as politics or not, this guy's a true populist.
He's a man of the people.
He talks about, it's all above.
politics a lot of the ape army this guy knows all the the crookedness of wall street the rigged house the ape army you guys are marching to the heart of the corruption and competence in our country here's the problem and that's why MTG is important and in Bronx Tina who we don't know we just love that ad Mike Lindell Tim pool The Ape Army.
These are people that are sitting there.
People who are going to have the father on here from Lowndon County on the CRT situation in Lowndon County.
These are everyday Americans that are just saying, I've had enough of this.
I've had a belly full of it and I'm going to do something.
Whether you're sitting there looking at AMC stock to take on the hedge funds.
Or whether you're saying, I'm going to run for Congress, I'm going to run for a school board, I'm going to get into the Republican Party as a precinct committeeman, right?
Action, action, action.
And here's the guy, the reason I admire this guy, he's put it all on the line.
I mean, you had a great business.
It'd been very simple for you to say, hey, look, you know, Trump is a good guy.
I loved him as president.
It didn't work out.
You know, they all conceded, all the guys around him.
Trump never conceded, but all the people around him, most of them just ran for the hills.
And it got you over the White House and disrespected you, right?
Kind of put you, said, put the weird guy over here and maybe I'll just go away.
mike lindell
Go away!
Go, I'm not leaving!
steve bannon
And quite frankly, a lot of the conservative news all kowtowed and just ran for the hills in dominion.
And this guy goes, heck with that!
I'm tripling down!
What was it that gave you the courage to risk it all?
Because it's still in the balance.
You could still lose your company, right?
The economics have been hit, but the whole thing could go away.
mike lindell
Well, there's threefold there.
The company was like third.
Even when I was on Jimmy Kimmel, I said to everyone, if it was reversed, Would you still do it?
I said, absolutely.
Because it's the long term.
If these machines aren't gone, and if this isn't stopped now, and this election pulled off, it's over anyway.
So I would still be sounding the alarm, but the difference would be in about one day, they'd have went, what?
You mean China attacked us and we're taking it down?
The media would've took it, and Democrats would've took it down in two seconds.
And they were the ones that warned of this, and they were the ones that just happened to be the ones, the CCP said, hey, let's use this party.
Of course, but the secondary thing is there, when everybody was canceling and stuff, at least we had been through it.
So even my employees, we had been through somewhat before, maybe a 100th level.
And even my life, you go through such adversity and such things that happen, and you come out with the grace of God, and you come out not unscathed, but you learn from it, and it usually gets better.
And so I had to sit there, and I'm going, and that was a prayer.
I'm out fighting for the country.
steve bannon
A lot of people say this, but have you turned your life totally over to God and to Christ?
That was February 18, 2017, everybody.
mike lindell
February 18th, I always wore my cross on TV wanting to be that guy, but I hadn't done a full... Wanting to be that guy, but not that guy.
Right.
I wasn't, you know, I believed in God.
I used mathematics to use God.
He says one in a million, one in a billion, this could never happen.
When do you add them together and say, it has to be this.
It's like when I went on TV in 2017 at the White House, I walk in there for the first time and I was invited to this Manufacturers Summit with the, and there's like 12 of us at the table and all of a sudden I'm, I can't believe it.
Here's an ex-addict, and I'm walking in here, and who's sitting here?
He said, the President is.
Well, when I went live on national TV, and both of us are there, all my friends are going, what is this ex-crack addict sitting next to the President?
Jesus is real, because this is impossible without God.
But the impossibility is here.
I just prayed that my pillow would be taken care of, and it did, almost within a week.
I'm going, how do you make up going forward 60, 60 to 100 million dollars that's going to be gone forever because I'm not taking them back.
And I'm going, and believe me, I would not have, even if it wouldn't have, if it would have been the other way that we wouldn't have reacted.
But then things started happening to other people too, with their podcasts, you know, Dominion used Lawfare to suppress.
So if you had over here Vimeos and your YouTubes and all these, and Suckabuck from Facebook and the Dorseys and all these guys canceling people.
Well, people had podcasts, even, you know, some had 14 employees and I know one that lost it.
So he lost his income there and he had to lay the people off.
Well you kind of work good where I'm going, okay, the people responded out there.
and started buying through the more through the podcast the radio stations and everybody like your audience here just reacting and getting behind my pillow and you know it's so far it's been we've never we have 2,500 employees they have families they you know there's Democrats and Republicans haven't laid anybody off not one person that has been laid off We did, we did.
Take that back.
When Costco did their evil thing, when they took it down, these people have jobs that can't come back.
They just have to take different ones because they're on the road.
They never come home.
They did Costco roadshows where they're there like 11 days at a time.
Shame on Costco.
Shame on, I can't say it enough, how horrific what they did to them people.
And they knew that's the ones I worried about because I couldn't they have to take jobs and maybe home sales or whatever but this is what they did for years and years.
Costco's number one product running them road shows and Costco tried to be sneaky going, oh we're not proud, we're gonna honor our contract.
And then all of a sudden, shh, they kept us out of their ads and stuff and they just, all of a sudden the shows get less and ee, goodbye.
I go, oh really, you think I'm gonna go away easy?
Costco, Costco, Costco, just like Dominion, Dominion, Dominion, you know, cancel culture.
I'm sick of it, I'm not gonna take it.
They're gonna get called out.
Just like we call out journalists now.
When they call up, I call them all out.
You know, like when we did the other day, the Daily Show, we put it out there before they even got to do their hit job.
You know.
unidentified
And it stopped the hit job from being so bad.
steve bannon
Because they're cowards.
They saw that you put the truth out there, so what they had was very limited.
mike lindell
Yep, absolutely.
And we're still waiting on the Washington Post to do their hit job that four journalists all worked on.
steve bannon
We're going to go to break.
And here's a question, because the phone's blowing up and saying, hey, we want to hear more of Mike Lindell as the business guy, because he's a business genius.
Do you think you bring the same cold calculating, and I know it's like a family, but you bring a certain internal mathematical logic to the My Pillow business.
Do you bring that same logic or do you get worked up too much emotionally when you start talking about Election fraud.
We're going to take a commercial break.
We're going to keep the audience hanging.
I want to hear that answer, because a lot of people come and say, I love Lyndell, but it looks like he's crazy.
Particularly new people that are coming, because he gets so worked up.
But when you start talking about the business, it's like, hey, boom, boom, boom.
No business I know could take a 40% hit on revenue on a major vertical and still survive.
Most of them would be crippled.
mike lindell
I'll reveal the whole plan when we come back.
unidentified
Wow.
steve bannon
I'm pretty good at this radio thing.
Not that good, though.
Real Harry's voice, not that good.
Okay, we're gonna take a short break.
