So you don't want to frighten the American public.
China, and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
You don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
This is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the U.S.
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.
unidentified
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
The CDC says the highly contagious Delta coronavirus variant now accounts for one in four cases in the United States, making it the most prevalent strain nationwide.
The Surgeon General issuing this warning.
If you are vaccinated, and fully vaccinated means two weeks after your last shot, then there is good evidence that you have a high degree of protection against this virus.
But if you are not vaccinated, then you are in trouble.
This is a, again, a serious threat, and we're seeing it spread among unvaccinated people.
Here's another development.
This variant is forcing health officials to rethink mask mandates, sparking confusion and irritation across the country.
Dr. Jonathan Reiner is a CNN medical analyst and professor of medicine at George Washington University.
Dr. Reiner, great to see you.
Why, why, after we have just been liberated from masks, would doubly vaccinated people like you and I need to go back to wearing masks?
Well the short answer is you don't.
But the problem is that we have 150 million unvaccinated people in this country and Delta is coming for them.
And...
I'm going to be quiet for a little bit, so...
So...
Thanks for watching!
Bye...
Okay, you're live in the war room.
steve bannon
It's the Wednesday, the 30th of June, the year of our Lord 2021.
You just saw there Peter Daszak lay his reputation lay to rest because of the great investigative reporting of Natalie Winters of National Pulse.
She's going to join us here momentarily.
We're honored to have Jesse Milton, ran for Congress in 2020.
She's an activist down in South Florida.
She's got a lot to say about mass mandates.
She got a lot to say about vaccines.
She got a lot to say about the schools.
And she's got a couple of three things, bones to pick with the Chinese Communist Party.
Remember, tomorrow we have the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party.
We have a special all day, two hours in the morning, one in the afternoon.
We're going to be breaking news all day, current news, but we've got to talk about the transnational criminal organization that is the Chinese Communist Party.
So we'll be doing all that tomorrow.
We've got a packed show today.
We're talking the debt ceiling.
We've got some of the apes on here to the ape army that is just crushing Wall Street now, crushing the hedge funds, particularly Citadel Capital.
These people are short at the stocks.
Russ Smith, a fantastic basketball player from Louisville, lives in China right now, so he's going to be here to talk about his involvement in the stock market.
Okay, Steve Moore is also going to be here about the debt ceiling.
I want to start with Natalie Winters.
We're going to get Raheem Kassam up here momentarily.
So Natalie...
You see where that you see where the the the highly what highly contagious Delta variant from India is now here.
CNN is there wringing their hands.
They're talking about if you know they never talk about about people have had the COVID or the CCP virus being part of the of herd immunity.
It's always about the vaccinated.
It's about the vaccines, the vaccines, the vaccines.
They're trying to other and this is not for the anti-vax crowd.
This is for the vaccine hesitant crowd that just want more information out there.
But you've done more probably than any one journalist out there in investigative reporting.
You've blown up the lies of Fauci, you've blown up the lies of NIH, you've blown up the lies of the people in the Wuhan lab and the Chinese Communist Party, but particularly you focused on Echo Health Alliance and Peter Daszak.
Why did we have the tribute to you with Peter Daszak?
What was the key thing in your taking down his reputation?
unidentified
Yes, shout out to whoever made that video.
It's awesome.
But COVID-19 was the Chinese Communist Party's weapon of mass destruction.
I think it's safe to say that Peter Doshak was really the Chinese Communist Party's weapon of mass distraction and really mass disinformation.
wherever he was, whether it was the mainstream media, Chinese state-run media outlets, the World Health Organization, EcoHealth Alliance, and formerly, the Lancet Committee on COVID-19, all he did was skew Chinese Communist Party talking points in the regime's narrative about where the virus came from.
He actually ran an article in The Guardian, an op-ed, about a year ago that was titled, Ignore the Conspiracy Theories.
Scientists know COVID-19 wasn't created in a lab, so he didn't say, oh, there's a chance that COVID-19 could have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology intentionally or by accident.
He was completely opposed.
He also lied and said that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had never worked with live bats, which we've done extensive reporting at the National Pulse about how not only did the Wuhan lab actually delete the webpages that detailed their researchers catching bats from the wild and taking them back, but they actually filed patents Uh, to create cages that would not only allow them to contain those bats from the wild, but also to artificially breed them and conduct experiments.
So really, wherever you look, any corner, uh, there was a lie from Peter Doshak, and you can also find a lot of your taxpayer dollars funding his research, of course, coming from Anthony Fauci's NIAID.
steve bannon
Rahim, I want to bring in here, Rahim Biscan, founder and editor-in-chief of The National Poll.
You know, we've got Jessie Melton in studio.
She's going to talk in a minute, but the last time we saw her, she's sitting outside a school board meeting, and it was in Palm Beach County, in Palm Beach County, where, you know, they're throwing out all this nonsense about the masks.
Nobody's really got any data to back it up.
You've been on this story from the beginning and particularly brought up the other day about the spike protein, about what's happening in Australia.
Where do you think after Dasik has now been really, not eliminated because he's never totally eliminated, but been crushed and all the lies and misrepresentations, where does this story go from here and where's the national pulse going to be driving this narrative?
raheem kassam
Yeah, well, let's put it this way.
Peter Daszak has made an entire career out of grifting off grants from Anthony Fauci's NIAID and indeed from the Chinese Communist Party.
But let me let me speak to his efficacy as a reliable source for a moment.
That is what is laid in the coffin.
In the great meme that you saw at the beginning of this show.
He is no longer a go-to authority.
He's not even a go-to authority now amongst the people who have been pushing him for so long, such as the World Health Organization.
They've dropped him.
The Lancet will drop him.
And sure enough, he won't be able to walk into the White House, as he once detailed in another video that Natalie found, and ask for $7 billion off the top of his head for any of these studies.
That's Peter Daszak's legacy now.
The study coming out of Australia is very important.
It's not actually the first of its kind, but it does go further in proving that the spike protein of the coronavirus finds it far easier to bind to human cells than it does, for instance, to a bat cell.
That is a confirmation we're getting off the back of an earlier study that claimed the same thing.
Now, It finds itself very able to bind to a human cell.
It finds itself relatively able to bind to a cell of, say, a pangolin, but it finds itself really, truly, poorly able to bind to that of a bat.
So the claim will be made now from the Dashiks of the world that, oh, you know, we didn't mean bat when we said bat.
What we really meant was pangolin.
But the fact of the matter is that what these researchers are finding Is it actually the human cells are the ones that they, you know, to sort of personify the virus is what it really wants to bind to and go after.
And that will lead to a bunch of new investigations and studies to prove that actually, I think what we all know by now that this was designed or manipulated in the Wuhan lab and perhaps even weaponized to attack humankind.
steve bannon
Natalie, on this topic, because now you've got these other variants coming, people are going to be saying you're going to have other lockdowns, you're going to have, you know, forcing the kids to get vaccinations.
Where is your reporting heading right now on Mr. Anthony Fauci?
We don't call him doctor anymore in the war room.
Mr. Anthony Fauci, where are you, directionally, where are you going?
You got Dasik, next target's got to be Fauci.
Where are you heading on Fauci?
unidentified
Yeah, well, there may be other variants emerging, and there's also a lot of other propagandists emerging, most notably Danielle Anderson, who is really an alum of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, an Australian researcher.
We unearthed that the institute she works for now has actually taken millions in donations from TikTok and the Jack Ma Foundation, so a warm audience should be very careful in looking at these new kind of talking heads that are emerging.
But we actually put up a story today about how the Galveston National Lab, which is completely a project finance, By Anthony Fauci was actually conducting the training seminars for the biosafety level 4 researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Wow.
And there's this slide show that the director of the lab gave and there's three slides that actually list in the heading and they say case study Wuhan Institute of Virology and they detail really how to work with quote the world's most dangerous pathogens and how they were training Wuhan researchers to do that at taxpayer expense.
steve bannon
I want people to understand that the University of North Carolina with this guy Barrick, and when you talk about Galveston, that's associated with the University of Texas, am I correct?
That lab, I know they got a couple labs, government labs, but it's basically under the overall guidance of the University of Texas is Galveston, is that correct?
Is that correct, Natalie?
unidentified
Yes, completely taxpayer-funded, hosted at the University of Texas Medical Branch, and as you said, Barrick, who
We've unearthed additional clips of him speaking on podcasts where he admits that he received a grant alongside EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology's bat woman, Shih-Jung Lee, where they were specifically and collaboratively manipulating these bat SARS coronaviruses, which is of course at odds with what Mr. Anthony Fauci said to Senator Rand Paul in that now infamous hearing.
steve bannon
When he perjured himself.
I want to go back to Rahim.
Rahim, we've been talking with Darren Beatty.
The great Tucker Carlson is under watch by NSA.
We know it's because of this whole situation with the FBI and what happened on the 6th up on Capitol Hill.
But when you look at the national security apparatus, what you guys have unearthed is that the administrative state dealing with the national health services, all of this health apparatus is inextricably linked With overseas, and it's very tough to tell the players where the money goes.
Your guys' investigation is going to blow up.
I think a lot of this interlocking and interconnected global apparatus for this health administration that really is not governable, that doesn't report to anybody, it does its own thing.
Raheem Kassam.
raheem kassam
Well, you know, I only need to point you in the direction of yet another Natalie Winters scoop from today, which sees a former chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee pushing Chinese Communist Party propaganda.
And it's just been appointed by Joe Biden to sit on the board of a very prestigious Goldwater scholarship fund named after Barry Goldwater, who I'm sure will be spinning in his grave at the back on the back of this information.
And of course, the guy has been on many QSEF trips.
These are the propaganda trips that the Chinese Communist Party take leading U.S.
politicians on.
And sure enough, this is a former head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who is now being pushed around by Biden into these positions, having worked very closely and even writing op-eds, lauding the Chinese Communist Party.
Over the past couple of years.
So really, you know, you're correct in saying that these things, whether the health community and the intelligence community are inextricably linked, and we'll be pointing out those links as long as I have breath in my lungs.
steve bannon
Okay, I know the podcast is on fire, the site's on fire.
Can you give the social media for you and Natalie, and how do people get to your podcast, how do you get to your site?
raheem kassam
My social media is tepid compared to that of Natalie Winters now, so everyone needs to go and follow her.
Natalie G. Winters across the board.
I'm just at Raheem Kassam.
And of course, if you want to support our work, I had lunch with one of our super backers today.
If you want to support our work, it's at fundrealnews.com.
steve bannon
Fantastic.
Thank you very much, Natalie.
Incredible work.

And by the way, the opening segment was fantastic.
You guys deserve it more than anybody.
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
We've got Jessie Melton in the house.
She's going to talk.
She's an activist.
She ran for Congress down in South Florida.
She's been fighting these mass mandates.
Now this whole issue of forced vaccinations of the schoolchildren, it's coming.
When the kids come back to school.
She's also an expert on China.
We've got Russ Smith later, one of the meme stock guys, former basketball player over in China.
He's going to talk to us about it.
Steve Moore.
And of course, Boris Epstein has got breaking news on our favorite topic, the 3 November movement.
President Trump at the border.
They're going to indict his CFO tomorrow.
All of it in the War Room when we return in just a moment.

We've got a fighter in the war room.
Remember, we only have the Fight Club when you're in here hosting, co-hosting.
Jesse Melton.
Last time we left you, Jesse, driving rainstorm.
It was down in Palm Beach.
You're about to walk in for your son, your 11-year-old son, in a huge packed thing.
This is one of the very first confrontations, right?
This is before CRT became a thing.
This is about the mask.
Tell us what happened after we left you.
It's a shocking story.
Tell us what happened that night.
unidentified
So, prior to that, we had dug up some information on the school board and a lot of parents were very angry and there were about 250-300 parents that were signed up to speak that evening.
It went, you know, well into the evening.
And to many's shock and dismay, and there are videos floating around, Laura Loomer was there, Chris Nelson was there.
He's got some stuff on his video as well.
When the parents walked into the school board, first of all, you know, it was barricaded off.
The parking lot was barricaded off for the protest earlier that day.
They wouldn't allow us on property that we own.
They made all the parents stand out at the street.
And then at the school board meeting, when the parents walked in, there were Palm Beach County police officers with, uh, Palm Beach County sheriffs rather, with zip ties.
Just massive amounts of zip ties attached to their vests.
steve bannon
Um, they were... They heard Laura Loomer was going to be there.
No, no, no, but fighters like you, they had zip ties to, to, to, to... The county sheriffs had zip ties to put you people in essentially handcuffs and march you out of there?
unidentified
A plethora of zip ties.
steve bannon
How tough did it get that night?
unidentified
Well, and the other thing is when everyone first walked in the door, they were forced to use hand sanitizer.
And if they weren't willing to use hand sanitizer, then a police officer had to escort them into the bathroom and watch them wash their hands.
steve bannon
A United States citizen?
unidentified
A United States citizen.
steve bannon
A citizen there for their children, if you didn't use the hand sanitizer and went in the bathroom to do it, a police officer went in?
Would a male police officer go into a female bathroom?
unidentified
No.
steve bannon
Only female officers?
unidentified
No, they didn't.
They didn't, yeah.
steve bannon
Female officers would go in.
But they would go in and make sure you washed it?
unidentified
Yep, they were making sure that hands were washed and then they segregated parents, the unmasked parents, into a separate room where there was a camera and it was pretty muffled.
They were having a hard time hearing the parents and then the parents that were that were willing to wear masks went before the school board.
You know, a lot of emotional stories, a lot of testimony.
The superintendent, Dr. Donald Fennoy, had his mask off Do they do what... Ron DeSantis has got all the executive orders.
steve bannon
At the deck plate levels, are they enforcing what the great Governor DeSantis does, or are they fighting him every step of the way?
Like for mass mandates, CRT, all of that.
unidentified
Well, for example, when DeSantis rescinded any municipality emergency orders and the intention was to lift mask mandates, the school board pivoted and said, because parents got upset, they said, hey, what does this mean for mask mandates?
They're lifted.
They're lifted everywhere else.
Businesses aren't being held to impose them on citizens.
What about our kids?
And the school board pivoted and said, you know what?
This has actually become our permanent policy now.
So his order doesn't apply.
steve bannon
Wow.
Okay, Boris, this gets, I want to bring up Boris Epstein.
Boris, this is why getting to the bottom of 3 November is more important than ever.
You see what's happened to this country, you see the radical nature from the school board, CRT, and mass mandates.
And trust me, you saw we started off today with the CNN piece about this Delta variant.
Ladies and gentlemen, Tony Fauci and those guys are coming on the vaccines, not just the vaccine passports.
They're coming to the schools and they're going to make the case that your 11-year-old son, if he doesn't get the vaccine, he's going to be othered.
He's going to be put in the corner with the unclean kids.
Boris Epstein, give us an update on where we stand on the 3 November movement throughout the country, sir.
boris epshteyn
Well, first let me say this.
If anybody, if anybody comes and tells me that my little five-year-old's got to get vaccinated or else, They're going to get some or else.
You better believe it.
And here's the deal.
You know, I've been honest with you, Steve.
I did.
I got the shots.
unidentified
I did.
boris epshteyn
I chose to and I did.
I'm an adult and I chose to do it.
I did the math at my doctor, etc.
That's my that's my personal choice.
But for our kids, if anybody goes out there and and and tells us that our kids in order to go to school or I think I saw the Make-A-Wish Foundation said that they're only going to be now helping kids who've been vaccinated.
That is disgusting and it's despicable.
steve bannon
And families.
boris epshteyn
And let me say it one more time.
I know we got a lot of wood to chop.
If anybody comes and says, your little boy's got to be vaccinated or else they're going to get or else like they've never seen in their lifetimes.
steve bannon
Yep.
boris epshteyn
Okay?
steve bannon
This one's for us.
This one's for us.
That's why we want to have Jesse in here today.
This thing's brewing.
On August 15th, when the kids go back to school, trust me, there's going to be a firestorm in this country.
People, and I know people have had the vaccination, vaccine.
They're saying, hey, no, no, no, not until I see a couple of years worth of data.
That vaccine, and you can see it coming.
You can see it coming.
Talk to me about Arizona, sir.
boris epshteyn
Talk to me about Arizona.
I'm getting, I've gotten a ton of info, including in the last half hour, continuing to hear that there's huge discrepancies in the amount of ballots that have been found through this audit and the amount of ballots that was certified by Arizona at the end of last fall, early last December.
So hearing about large discrepancies in the ballots, continued, continued failing by Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to turn over the passwords, to turn over the routers.
We were told that there was no issue.
There was no issue with connectivity, that none of that applied to these Dominion machines.
And I'm not even a machine guy, as we've talked about, Steve.
But the fact that they're hiding the routers and saying, well, turning those over will somehow impact the security of the county as a whole, tells you that there must have been connectivity between those machines and others.
And now there's, on the Arizona Audit Twitter page, there's information out there that as early as back in December, they were talking about the security issues.
Around those routers.
Even more reason, vital reason, for those routers and those passwords to be turned over.
Maricopa County Board of Supervisors is hiding them.
I am hearing that another subpoena is being considered as we speak for those routers and those passwords.
So the battle in Arizona continues.
Missing ballots, discrepancies in the number of ballots, removed, repositioned, replaced databases and the continued issue on the passwords and the routers and a potential follow-up subpoena coming from the State Senate to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors who are not complying with the original subpoena even though they were ordered by courts to do so.
steve bannon
I want the audience to understand, though, whatever happens now, there's another recount, or if they take their time, they're going to say, Karen Fan and these people are going to process and do this right.
They're not going to be forced by the media.
They're not going to be forced by anybody.
They're out there.
The constitutionally elected representative is supposed to do this, and when it's done, it's done.
Is that correct?
Is that what you're hearing?
boris epshteyn
A hundred percent correct.
And from what I understand, the discrepancies are so significant that the state senate is actually requesting a follow-up check.
And it's already been double, triple, quadruple checked.
They're asking for another check before this goes anywhere further to make sure that the discrepancy size is correct.
The number of ballots that's found through the audit, the recount part, not the canvas, the recount part, is correct.
And the longer, the more they check, the more in-depth information is, the more squared away it is, the better it is.
And it's not about speed, it's about diligence.
We want diligence in this.
So buckle up, make sure that you have your patient pants on, because it is that patience that will pay off in the results here, and if the results are what I'm hearing, again, I've said it before, I'll say it again, it will be a nuclear earthquake in the 2020 election movement.
steve bannon
Okay, I'm also going to say, there are a lot of Senators out there waiting for what's happening in Arizona.
They need to step up in Wisconsin.
They need to step up in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
We're going to get to all that tomorrow.
Pennsylvania, I've only got a couple of minutes.
I've got to get your thoughts on the meme stocks.
There was a $70 million fine to Robin Hood today.
It seemed like nothing.
Tip money.
I mean, they're just trashing the ape army every single day.
Have you ever seen anything like it, Boris?
Your old Wall Street hand.
boris epshteyn
Never seen anything like it.
They're claiming that buying and holding is manipulation, which is one of the most ludicrous things I've ever heard in politics and finance and economics and anything.
Buying and holding is the very underpinning of the stock market.
It's the buying and selling and the microsecond trading, the electronic trading that has gotten a hold of Wall Street, that can be very easily described as market manipulation.
But not this old-school approach to buy and hold.
And you know what?
Just like the MAGA posse, the MAGA brain trust, that's the viewership and audience of this show, is not giving up on November 3rd.
The Ape Army is not giving up on these stocks.
Disclosure.
I am an owner in AMC and Nokia.
I believe.
That the establishment is coming at the Ape Army with their full guns blazing because they're worried.
They're scared.
They're scared of this old-school approach to stocks taking down the manipulative approach to equities and bonds that's been employed for way too long now throughout Wall Street and the world.
steve bannon
Boris, real quick, we've got a minute on the debt ceiling.
It's absolute crickets.
We've got the great Steve Moore, the great economist, next.
One of President Trump's best financial advisors, economic advisors, next.
Talk about it.
There's crickets on the debt ceiling.
Janet Yellen says, if you don't change it, don't give me a raise, by the 31st of July, we start defaulting on securities in mid-August.
What say you, sir?
boris epshteyn
They're trying to slide it through.
You don't hear anything about the debt ceiling.
So the Democrats and establishment Republicans are trying to just say, hey, be quiet about it.
Let's not get it done.
Let's not make it public.
Let's just get it done.
Let's slide it through under the radar.
Not gonna happen.
Not gonna happen.
The MAGA brain trust, the MAGA posse, the MAGA movement has to speak loud and clear that there should be no debt ceiling rates whatsoever without offsetting cuts.
No raise without offsetting cuts.
Because if you just raise, then you're going to allow all that human infrastructure, all the Orwellian nonsense that the Biden team, not Joe Biden because he doesn't know what day it is, but the Biden team, Nancy Pelosi and others want to push through.
You've got to stay strong.
Be loud and clear.
No dead ceiling.
Raise without offsetting cuts.
steve bannon
What's your social media?
People need to follow you 24-7 on the election, the 3 November project.
What's your social media?
boris epshteyn
No doubt about it.
A lot's going on at BorisCPU on Twitter.
Boris underscore Epstein.
Boris underscore EPSHTEYN on Instagram.
Always coming in hot on the gram.
At BorisCPU on Twitter.
Stay strong.
God bless.
steve bannon
Okay, thank you very much, Bob.
A lot of news we're going to have tomorrow.
A lot of people out there sitting on the sidelines to see what happens in Arizona.
It's time for these senators to jump in.

Okay, I want to turn to Jesse Melton now before I bring in Steve.
You're a business owner, Paragon Wireless.
When you sit there as a business owner, and you ran for Congress, right?
You were in a tough primary.
When you sit there and see what's happening in Washington, D.C.
since President Trump's gone, trillions of dollars, infrastructure deals, this unity coming out with Republicans.
As a business owner, How does that strike you?
Has it hit you, the difference between the business owners and entrepreneurs versus the political class here in Washington, D.C.? ?
unidentified
Absolutely.
When I actually originally ran for Congress, what inspired me to do so and put my business on hold, which had had the best two years leading up until that point that I had ever had, it was because of that.
It was because of the reckless spending.
They were printing monopoly money, and this is before COVID hit.
You know, now we're at a point over the last year, what is it, 25% of the money currently in circulation was printed over the last year?
I mean, are you kidding me?
That's hyperinflation.
So now, like the housing market, for example, You know, everybody's like, well, the housing market, this is 2009.
This is the same bubble that happened back in 2008-2009.
Well, to a certain degree, yes, the single-family homes because, you know, the Chinese Communist Party is coming over and buying up all the single-family homes and hedge funds because they're trying to eliminate the middle class.
Blackrock.

But, you know, it's hyperinflation.
You go pay $50,000 over what a house was worth a year ago, it's not necessarily that the value If you were in Congress today, would you be like MTG who's fighting every one of these bills and getting up there?
steve bannon
She's taking her time to say, we've got to have voice votes.
We can't have these general votes.
You can't do that.
I think the on blank where they just vote thing.
Would you be a fighter like MTG up here to force these guys to go through every, every bill and talk about the cost associated with every bill?
unidentified
I would have as many attacks on my social respectability and reputation as she has had, and I could possibly be dead.
steve bannon
Okay, Steve Moore, I want to bring you in.
Moore, you've been the guy, you and I don't agree on everything, but the one thing we do agree on, and you've been the warrior on this, you've been the warrior in warning people about this out-of-control spending, you've warned people about Democrats, the group hug The other day, with these feckless Republicans on this infrastructure giveaway, and now you've got the debt ceiling.
But I want to talk about, first off, you've warned America time and time again about the out-of-control spending.
We've got $30 trillion in debt.
We're going to blow through that.
What say you to Republicans right now?
What do they need to do to get focused to stop this?
unidentified
So the Republicans got rolled, let's face it.
I mean, there's no gentle way to put this.
They got rolled.
This happens every time Republicans get in these bipartisan deals with Democrats.
They think Democrats are going to negotiate in good faith and show me any time in the last 35 years, Steve, that's happened.
So they were naive.
They got rolled.
The good news is that Joe Biden made a big mistake.
He basically, you know, made a mistake of telling the truth, which is the Democrats never had any intention of not passing a major tax increase of $3 trillion.
They never had an intention of not, through something called reconciliation, passing their $2 trillion, I think Biden calls that one, the human infrastructure bill.
So Republicans got nothing.
By the way, this is the Green New Deal.
That bill is the Green New Deal.
It's hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars for electric vehicles, electric charging stations, wind and solar subsidies, all of the stuff that the AOC has been pining for.
Now, I have just put out a memo that I'm circulating to major conservative leaders that we are going to send to Congress to say that any future negotiations, because look, the Republicans don't have to feel in some way that they're bound to this deal.
I mean, Biden's already broken it.
So any new negotiations to do have four things, Steve.
Ready?
steve bannon
Yep.
unidentified
Number one, No, but.
No infrastructure bill if Biden does not authorize the Keystone XL pipeline.
That is a vital piece of our infrastructure.
It costs nothing.
It's being paid for the private sector, and it is outrageous that Biden blocked that, especially when he's allowing the pipeline from Russia to Germany.
Number two.
Ready?
This is every penny that we are going to spend on infrastructure Has to be for roads and bridges and airports, what we consider real infrastructure, not green energy.
Number three, any spending has to be paid for.
We just passed a $1.9 trillion so-called COVID relief bill, which was the blue state bailout, the $300 a week unemployment benefits, all this crap that was never even needed.
The Congress can't even spend the money.
There's so much out there now.
Redirect that money to roads and bridges.
Don't appropriate more debt.
And finally, and maybe most importantly, Steve, and I want your reaction to this, the most outrageous thing about that infrastructure deal, to me, was $35 billion to double the IRS budget and hire 75,000 more tax snoops.
Remember, Steve, what happened under Obama with someone named Lois Lerner, where the Obama administration used the IRS For partisan purposes, to go after conservative groups and organizations, now Republican to give them $30 billion more money?
steve bannon
Okay.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Hold it.
I agree within that for the middle class.
But, Steve, you've got to join me on, and I know you're going to gulp on this, the 24 billionaires, the wealthiest guys in the country, have only paid $15 billion of taxes in the last five years, and everybody's going after the people that leaked them.
unidentified
Wait a minute.
Are you getting that money, that number from the ProPublica or something?
steve bannon
I'm getting that number from the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal.
If it's not an accurate number, that's fine.
We'll fight over the number.
But you do agree that the super wealthy should be paying their fair share of tax.
unidentified
Okay, so you and I agree that the rich should pay their fair share.
What I want to do is get rid of all the loopholes and all the crap in the tax code.
Because I guarantee you, a lot of these guys aren't, they're not violating the law, they're just taking, they have lawyers, they have lobbyists that do these car vows for them.
And that's how the system works.
It's corrupt.
steve bannon
OK, real quick, real quickly, though, would you join me?
Because we got to get you more because you're the president's advisor.
You're the anti-spending guy.
You said, hey, everything's going to be paid for.
You know, all they're going to do is print money.
You know, Jesse Melton just said all the cash.
They're just they're just going to monetize this debt.
The debt ceiling.
We got leverage at the end of July.
Would you support not one penny?
The debt ceiling goes up unless you get dramatic, radical cuts in spending, sir.
unidentified
Yes.
In fact, that's the way it's worked every time.
Over the last 40 years, I've been in this business a long time.
The only time we've ever gotten spending reforms from Congress and leaner government is when we've used as leverage the debt ceiling.
Now, do I like using that as leverage?
No, but it's the only leverage we got, right?
Think back, we got Graham Rudman because of the debt ceiling, we got the spending caps that worked very well in the This is why I had Steve Moore on.
He absolutely knows the history there.
got rid of them. So yeah, we should basically say no additional spending, the spending reform, spending cash, by the way, COVID is over. It's over.
It's done. We should be cutting this.
steve bannon
This is why I had Steve Moore on. He absolutely knows the history there.
The only time we've gotten any deal is when the guns put through their head and they need that debt ceiling. And this is why it's a call to arms.
We got to do now in this crickets, nobody's talking about it because they want to slide it in some reconciliation bill and continue the madness of AOC and all this green new deal. Steve, we got to jump. How do people go ahead? Yes, sir.
unidentified
When we pursue this strategy, you and I, and we go to Congress, the New York times, the Washington post.
Every financial newsletter, all your friends on Wall Street, they're gonna go bloody murder.
They're gonna say they're trying to have America default on its debt.
So I'm willing to take the heat, Steve, if you want.
Because you know it's coming.
You know it's coming.
steve bannon
Brother, we live for the heat.
You know that.
Steve Moore, how do people get to you?
How do they get to your site?
unidentified
How do they get to your group?
Get our Committee to Unleash Prosperity hotline.
I hope, Steve, you get it every morning.
I think Alexander gives it to you.
But we send it out to you free.
It's one of the most popular things on what's going on with the economy and politics.
And just go to the Committee to Unleash Prosperity website and we will send it to you for free.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to put that in the live chat and on the site.
This is a little newsletter you get every day.
You get Steve Moore's take on the economy, one of the smartest guys out there.
Steve, thank you so much.
We're now engaged in combat on the jet, okay?
unidentified
Combat, that's a good term.
steve bannon
It's the war room.
Want to bring in now, uh, you talk about these meme stocks.
We got Russ Smith, a famous basketball player, played at Louisville, has played all over the world, has scoring records all over the world.
Just incredible, an incredible athlete and a guy that's, I think, just six feet tall or barely, so he's a true warrior.
He's into these meme stocks.
Now, here I want to set the table for everybody.
Remember, the deplorables are going to get in the room for negotiations through this debt ceiling, okay?
The debt ceiling, you're not going to let Wall Street, you're not going to let these politicians just raise the debt ceiling and spend us into oblivion.
You've had Jesse Melton and all these entrepreneurs saying, hey, you guys are killing me.
You've got to start running it like a business.
On the other side, on the equity side, you have this what's called the Army of the Apes.
These guys have been called, oh, you're dumb as apes.
You're ridiculous.
You're stupid.
And here they've gone.
They've taken these stocks to buy and hold.
They bought them in single digits.
They're now at $55, $60, $60 a share.
Wall Street is going crazy.
Wall Street trashes them every day.
Russ Smith, you're part of that.
You bought in these meme stocks.
I think everybody wants to know.
How did you get involved?
Did you have any financial background?
How did you get involved?
And sir, how did you actually learn to trade stocks?
unidentified
Well, I graduated from the University of Louisville.
I did all four years and my coach was Rick Pitino.
And when I left college, me and Rick are still close to this day.
And one of the things I went to him and talked to him about was, you know, how do I be smart with my money?
And I got introduced to, you know, some brokerages, you know, TD Ameritrade.
I got introduced to Fidelity and a couple of other things.
And then, um, throughout my career, um, and when I was making, making some money, I just made my own portfolio.
And then I started, I got a guy that was able to take care of my money.
So moving forward, I went to China while I was playing, and while I was playing in China, all the GameStop stuff was going on, and I'm thinking in my head, like, man, I gotta, you know, get me a recovery plate for when everything opens up, because I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and I love the movies!
I love the movies.
Steve, I love the movies.
Growing up, that was family night.
You know, we take the kids, my brothers and sisters, community might get together.
I might have some boys that work in the theater.
So it was big.
And that was almost a no brainer to me.
So I jumped in it while it was, I think it was around like five bucks or something.
And then It has shot up, so that's kind of the beginning of how I got in.
But I was over there in China in quarantine.
steve bannon
Let me ask you, we only got about a minute and a half left in this segment.
We're going to hold you over.
When you found out, when you got into these stocks in their $5, $6, $7, $8 a share, and you heard Wall Street was shorting them, trying to destroy the companies and trying to put the companies out of business for profit, how did that strike you?
unidentified
It sucked because for me, growing up where I grew up, you know, we had Toys R Us, we had Blockbuster, and now that I'm educated on how a lot of those, you know, a lot of that business works, they got bankrupted because of the shorts.
And I felt like it was unfair.
And to lose AMC, you know, it would be to lose a part of my childhood.
So I really wanted to do what I could and do my part to try and save a company.
And I've only been averaging up.
So I've been doing my part and I've been holding.
I believe in the theaters because I believed in it when I was a little kid.
So I think I think every kid deserves the opportunity to go get a theater experience.
steve bannon
Okay, Russ Smith from Brooklyn via Louisville University.
Rick Patino's played all over the world.
He's an investor.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We'll return with Russ.
This is part of the group that has this radical idea, buy and hold American companies.
when we return, Russ Smith in the meme stocks, next in the War Room.
unidentified
See you then.
Everything's just beginning For the games you want to play Bring it on and now we'll fight to the end Just watch and see It's all started Everything's begun And you are over Cause we're taking down the CCP Spread the word all through Hong Kong We will fight till they're all gone.

steve bannon
I want to go back.
To the great player from Louisville under Rick Pitino, Russ Smith.
Russ, here's the thing.
As you get into these stocks, I've never seen the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times of London, CNBC, Fox Business, except for the great Charles Payne.
Every day you guys are hammered, hammered, hammered.
You're misogynist, you're racist, you're the worst people in the world, you're market manipulators.
When the strategy looks like to me, You're buying American companies and you're holding.
So I want to ask first, since you're in these meme stocks in the chat group, what is it like for the army to be inundated every day with just negativity from the Wall Street press, which essentially wants to force you to sell to get the hedge funds off the hook?
What's it like, Russ?
unidentified
See for see for me, I just feel like it is so unfair.
I got into this like deep when when I was in China in quarantine.
So I had nothing but time.
And I was in my room, and all day, I'm in the forums, I'm big on Twitter, and these guys, they give you the links, they give you the DD, and Steve, I'm a 2 plus 2 is 4 guy.
If you show me some math, it has to make sense.
And everything these apes were showing me, because I'm smooth brain.
I don't really know.
I don't know too much.
I don't know.
I don't know too much.
But the Wrinkle Brain Apes is giving you everything you need to know in order to be successful from a technical standpoint, from a fundamental standpoint.
And is your job to go, hmm, all right, I guess I'll put my money here.
And for a lot of these big media outlets to bash us, I really feel like it's unfair, because not only are we putting in the work, we're saving American companies or helping American companies thrive.
And isn't that what you want?
I mean, that's...
I mean, that should be what you want.
Retail investors saving American companies.
steve bannon
Russ, this is what I want to get to.
You've got retail investors that now sound as savvy as Goldman Sachs traders.
How do people get into these chat rooms and they're teaching you technical analysis, they're teaching you the fundamentals, and it's just a community learning environment?
Is that what it is?
unidentified
Yeah, they're helping you.
We're communicating and you're making new friends.
I've been taught how to read charts.
I never thought I'd be able to read charts two years ago.
Now I can kind of get an idea of where a stock might be heading, its trajectory.
Now I understand a lot of different terminologies that I may not have understood a year ago.
If I had a question, I would go to Trey's channel and and learn. These guys are putting in the work to help us.
It's a real community-based movement that I feel like is important. You can't learn a lot of this stuff in school because it's really— They want you to be economically illiterate.
steve bannon
They want you to be illiterate about capital markets.
They want you to be illiterate about how the government's financed.
They want you to be economically, mathematically, and financially illiterate.
And I think the greatest thing about what the meme stocks and the ape army has done is collectively teach people that now have sophistication, and they're betting their own money.
And here's the radical strategy, buy and hold.
And these hedge funds have shorted these stocks, leveraged up to naked short, they're caught in a jam, and the running dogs they've got and the business media are trashing these noble Americans every day.
This fight's much greater than just about stocks.
This is about the incompetence and corruption of Wall Street.
Russ, what you guys are doing is amazing.
I want to have you back on.
First off, how do people out there, and I'm not telling people to buy stocks, how can they get involved?
And number two, how do they follow you on Twitter?
unidentified
Uh, my name is Russ Diculous.
Trademark, you can find me on Instagram and then via Twitter, Specter Smith, Russ Smith and Russ Diculous.
I have the same avatar on all my platforms.
And if you want to be involved, you know, you just, you just follow the guys who do the tremendous, um, DD, you know, there's a, uh, Trey, obviously there's Matt.
And I think, um, there's, um, the unusual wells.
I think they, they post some amazing stuff.
Uh, Joshua James is great.
Um, and, and there's a lot more that I know I'm forgetting, but all these people have helped me.
There's, there's lady apes.
So, This community is huge, man, and we're all here to help each other.
And if you're on Twitter, you'll see the people who are very pivotal and very influencing in the community.
And all you have to do is ask a question, and they'll get right back to you.
steve bannon
This is people, this is one of the most important populist movements in the world.
This is about human agency, and this is about working together.
Action, action, action.
Real quickly, you're starting a PAC right now, taking action, helping parents.
What is it?
unidentified
That's right.
So, as we know, the teachers unions have their advocates and their lobbyists in Washington doing what they need.
They sued DeSantis at the end of last year for opening schools.
They're the ones that are keeping masks on our kids as long as they possibly can.
So, we naturally have started a PAC.
We're in the process right now of launching it, called Parents Union of America.
steve bannon
Parents Union, not Teachers Union.
Parents Union?
unidentified
Parents Union of America to provide advocacy for our children, lobbying for our children and what's best for them because we've seen obviously there's a huge hole in our education system for the advocacy of children because they've been the victims of what's happened the last year.
steve bannon
How big a fight is going to be in Florida on these vaccines?
When they come back to school they're going to start saying we've got to force the vaccines.
What's going to happen in Florida?
unidentified
They pushed it with the masks and they woke a lot of parents up.
I think the vaccines are just going to make it harder on them.
It's going to draw more attention to it and we're going to be able to unseat them.
And that's our goal with these PACs is to unseat these corrupt school boards.
We have chapters in each county that we're all forming a template to have these school board members who are doing things not good for our children unseated and support the candidates that are going to unseat them.
steve bannon
This whole show is about human agency.
You see Russ Smith, who spent his career playing around the world, outside the NBA, playing around the world.
Now he's involved in the stock market.
He's teaching and learning every day.
That's a poppies movie.
You got people down now not having these school boards that's going to tell them what to do.
This is what the future of America is.
This is why this debt ceiling thing is so big.
Only this audience can change it.
We need to put our shoulder to the wheel.
We need to take this country back.
We need to turn it over to the working class people and the middle class in this country.
And I'm going to tell you, the day we do that, America is going to prosper.
The sunlit uplands is ahead of us.
A lot of work to do before then.
Russ Smith, I want to thank you so much.
Look forward to having you back on here, brother.
Jesse, incredible.
Keep the business going and help us fight on this debt ceiling.
And we'll be there to help you on this pack.
