Well, the virus has now killed more than 100 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.
steve bannon
Welcome back.
It is Friday, the 2nd of July, the year of our Lord, 2021.
We're in the second day of the second half of one of the most historic years in American history, 2021.
We want to talk, we're juxtaposing all weekend, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in Shanghai to the revolution that took place in 1776 and the freedoms we have today.
All weekend we're going to be live.
I want to thank Real America's Voice.
We're live tomorrow at the Special Independence Day Show.
We're going to be live on Monday, which is the holiday this year, the official government holiday.
We're going to be live on Monday to talk all the way through this.
We're going to have guests describing the Chinese Communist Party and what's happening to our freedoms here in the United States of America and what the revolutionary generation in 1776 was up against.
I want to thank one of our sponsors, MyPillow.com.
Go to promo code war room.
Over the weekend, it's not going to last forever.
50% off the Giza Dream Sheets.
They're now as low as $49.99.
Take action!
support the freedom fighters, the armor piercing show that is Michael and Dell, the great manufacturing company up in Minnesota.
That is my pillow.
And of course, the apparatus of the war room, my pillow.com promo code war room.
They got sales all over the place, but a very special deal on the Giza sheets.
50% off.
Make sure you go there today.
Uh, Rahim, I gotta tell you one thing.
I just want to reemphasize a Steve Cortez.
And I'm so proud that people have been here all the time.
You've been our host co-host from the beginning.
Uh, Jason Miller now has gone from running, overseeing the campaign Chief Strategist, now to our original co-host, now to Getter.
They're going to launch on Sunday morning, this new social media platform that's taking on Silicon Valley.
Steve Cortez has been a regular here from the very beginning.
He's got the great Newsmax show.
But this piece up on National Pulse, which as you know is my favorite site, along with Revolver and Gateway Pundit.
You guys, this piece is quite radical.
Remember, this goes against Republican orthodoxy.
This ability to actually put financing towards, instead of corporations and government, actually puts it towards the American family.
What it says on protectionism and immigration is quite profound, very strong, so I just don't think people are going to embrace this.
But the pollings out there, whoever comes up with the solution, To make the American family the centerpiece, the economic centerpiece of the country, will end up governing the United States for 100 years.
And that's why we're populist.
That's why we're economic nationalists.
That's why we're not traditional Republicans.
And I gotta tell you, that's what the Trump movement is.
And you see President Trump is at the forefront of this.
He was at the border the other day.
Before we bring John Solomon on, Rahim, any comments, analysis, observations on the Steve Cortez?
raheem kassam
Look, I'm just very... I was going to say proud, but that's not quite the word.
I'm just... I'm enthused by the fact that so many people are coming to the same conclusions and working towards the same goals here.
You know, we had Terry Schilling on last week, this time last week, talking about his Save the Family community.
And the reason he set that up, he came to me months before that launch and he said, look, you know, everybody in DC has a lobbyist.
But you know who doesn't have a lobbyist?
The American family.
It's a brilliant idea.
The American family is the most important unit in the country.
How is it not well represented in the nation's political capital?
And so they set up that savethefamily.app website.
I understand they're attracting so many thousands of people to that.
And those people aren't just there to give money and to undergird the policy work that's going on with that group.
They're there to take part.
APP is now building a website where, I'm sure Terry wouldn't mind me telling you this, where people are going to be able to pop their zip code in, and it'll tell you where your local school board meeting is, where you can go to take part in a protest, where you can go to be amongst like-minded people, where you can host a local meet-up of other family-orientated people.
I'm not sure that's immediately going to be available, but it's in the works.
I hope it'll be available later on this year, and I just think it's a great thing.
You can support it at savethefamily.app.
steve bannon
Listen, for our Chinese audience, because we're simulcast in Mandarin through G-News and G-TV, for the Lao-Beijing in mainland China, blown through the firewall, and for the diaspora, the Chinese people, one thing we try to tell you is, hey, democracy's not easy, it's tough, and you've got to work for it every day.
And it's not just the voting, it's the counting of the vote.
One of the best investigative reporters in the country has been on this whole situation about the 3 November movement, what happened on the 3rd of November, and our whole contention, along President Trump, we can't move forward with new laws and new regulations, talking about 2022 or 2024, till we get to the bottom of 3 November.
Really, a blockbuster interview the other day, it was pretty shocking, was John Solomon, the great investigative reporter of Just the News, one of the Real America's Voices investigative, part of the investigative apparatus you did with Raffensperger down in Georgia.
Talk to us about what he had to say, because I thought it was pretty stunning about moves that the state government is going to make on the cesspool that's down in Fulton County.
John Solomon, take it away.
john solomon
Yeah, it's pretty amazing.
Remember the storyline in Georgia has been, including in the interviews that Rafsenberger has done up to this point, that everything was hunky-dory in November 3rd.
No reason to worry about the results, everything was great.
And over the last few weeks, particularly after we got the memo with the 29 pages from his hand-picked monitor who went to Atlanta and found 29 pages of really shocking election integrity busting behavior by the Atlanta vote counters.
Things like piercing the privacy of people's ballots, transporting ballots in an insecure way where they could be stolen or moved or changed, double scanning ballots into the machine, double counting votes essentially.
Raffsenberger has been talking a little more aggressively that all along he's had deep concerns about Fulton County, Atlanta.
So I brought him on my podcast a couple days ago and I said, all right, what's the deal with Fulton County?
You were telling us everything's great.
He said, listen, a lot of mismanagement, a lot of chaos, a lot of dysfunction in that county.
It was so bad in November based on what my people saw that I've made the decision to recommend to the state elections board that we're going to take Fulton County into state receivership.
Take them over, kick out their leaders, and we're gonna run their next couple elections until they can get their story straight.
What a difference from what we heard on 60 Minutes in January from Raffsenberger, what we heard all the way from November 3rd through this day.
There are real problems in Fulton County, probably affecting thousands of ballots, maybe tens of thousands of ballots.
And now, for the first time, the Secretary of State has done an interview where, straight up, he says, it was bad enough, we gotta take it over.
steve bannon
Okay, I want to make the analogy here between Arizona and Georgia.
In Arizona right now, you go to Gateway Pundit, you can go up to the different sites, you see the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors are all sitting there going, they're trying to downplay what's going to be the results of this audit.
You can already see their panic because they've got a feel of what's going to happen.
But here, John, what I don't get is that how does Raffensperger, not just on 60 Minutes, but all the time on MSNBC and CNN, and he would always be followed by a Fulton County executive.
What does he know now that he didn't know then?
Is it because of these court cases?
Because of the work of the great patriots down there?
Everybody's on the John Fredericks Radio Network.
I know you go on the show.
It's your work, your investigations.
What evidence, as Raffensperger said, now, it's not a small thing for a state government to say, we're going to go into your biggest city, the city that's really a global city, Atlanta, and actually put it in receivership.
The election thing, what does he know now that he didn't know then, sir?
john solomon
Well listen, there's no doubt he's known all along.
The memo that was given to him was dated November 12th.
He's known within a week of election day, and he knew in real time.
I've talked to his staff quite a bit.
They knew there were widespread things.
And you know, I went back, and here's an interesting thing, and I want to be fair to Rauschenberger on this point.
Many times between November and February in Atlanta, in Georgia, he was saying, I'm really concerned about what happened in Fulton County.
In fact, he called out Fulton County on election night on television.
It just didn't break through.
Everybody picked up the words where he was saying, listen, I don't think the election would have changed based on the audit.
And yet all these other words about Fulton County, the local news media just buried.
You couldn't, I went back and found them in transcripts of press conferences and letters, but they just weren't reported.
So it was like a tree falling in a forest.
When we got that memo a couple weeks ago, and Rahim did some great work on it as well, that 29-page memo portrays an election vote counting center that's the how not to count votes.
It wasn't, there was nothing safe, secure, or good about what Atlanta went on.
And I think the rise of that memo, which by the way, Rassenburger's had from the very beginning, I think that changed the dialogue in Georgia significantly, and now I think you're going to see a dramatic action.
It's going to be, there's a new law that the legislature passed, the election integrity law, the one that Merrick Garland is trying to block, that says the state can come in for habitually bad counties and take them over.
I think Fulton County is going to get that experience in the next couple of weeks.
steve bannon
Do you believe that that that Raffensperger is eventually going to get to the point where he supports they're going to have a special session of the Georgia's legislature in September about redistricting?
A lot of Brandon Beach and Bert Jones saying they think a special session needs to be called now, but worst case will be put on the the docket for for September.
Do you think Raffensperger is at the point where he's actually going to support the 3 November movement and call for a full forensic audit of the presidential election and the Senate races here?
John, do you get a sense of that?
john solomon
Well, here's something pretty interesting.
He has turned around and he's supporting the audit that attorney Bob Cheley has done.
Bob Cheley is an Atlanta lawyer who's done some fantastic work.
He's the one that got the ballots unsealed.
He's the one that a judge is allowed to begin taking depositions.
I think Raffsenberger supports that audit.
He wants to see that done.
And then based on what happens in that audit, we'll see how his office reacts.
But they're very open to the possibility there were things that their audit didn't catch.
Uh, and they know that Fulton County is a problem.
Listen, if your biggest vote center in your state is a big problem, you really don't have any voter confidence in the state.
That's one of the points he made in the interview.
Listen, the way Fulton County counts votes ruins the confidence of all of our state voters.
He's definitely moving in that direction.
And I think a lot will depend on when those ballots are unsealed and they're all counted.
What things did we learn?
We know from the documents now that there are batches of documents that are recorded as have been received, meaning they came in by absentee, right?
They were logged in with a number, and then there's no evidence that they were run through the machine based on the hand tallies that Fulton County came.
Now, there could just be pure incompetence that the, you know, the tally sheets are wrong, or there could be By Chile's estimate, more than 25,000 votes that weren't counted in Fulton County.
If those came from the north part of the county, for instance, where all the Republicans and Conservatives are, it could have swung the outcome in the Fulton County area.
So those are the sort of things this audit that's underway, which by the way, Rauschenberger now supports, that are taking into account.
We're going to learn a lot in the next 60 days in Georgia, just like we're going to learn a lot in Phoenix and Arizona.
steve bannon
Do you think, I've got two questions, but one, do you think they're using the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the public broadcasting down in Georgia, Georgia Public Broadcasting, to offset, or do you think they're leaking them documents or giving them more full account of these documents to offset just the news you're reporting and the Georgia Star News, Michael Patrick Leahy?
Do you think they're actually giving those guys documents that you guys should have access to?
john solomon
Oh, absolutely.
I think Michael Patrick Leahy has documented there were things that were responsive to his FOIA that never arrived that were given to the Georgia public broadcasters.
Most of that is Fulton County.
Listen, we had a devil of a time in our FOIAs getting records from Fulton County, but when we finally got them, remember one of the extraordinary things we discovered?
They cracked open their vote machines and took cards out of their voting machines in 36 precincts.
Days before the election was even about to unfold.
So they were looking at early voting returns, or had the ability to look at them.
They were taking those cards out.
That's something they fought to hide.
That's a question that Bob Cheley's looking at.
That's a question that Brad Rauschenberger's office is now looking at.
Why did they crack the machines open so early?
Were they trying to get an early vote count so they knew how many more absentee ballots had to be run in?
We don't know the answer, but we're going to find out a lot.
The Atlanta Constitution Journal, they're getting a lot of their stuff.
From the Fulton County folks who are trying to create an alternate story to their mismanagement.
steve bannon
We've got about a minute left.
People don't understand, you work weeks and weeks and weeks, sometimes months on these investigative reports.
Just give us, where directionally is John Solomon going in this investigation?
john solomon
Two things.
I think we're going to really watch the Chile audit.
I think there's going to be some depositions, some whistleblowers coming out, and we're going to get some clarity on what happened to those ballots that appear to be missing.
Wisconsin is the place where Republicans are dropping the ball.
The Supreme Court has said there's 200,000 people that illegally voted.
No one has gone back to figure out who they are and how they voted and whether those votes should have been disqualified.
Wisconsin Senate, some watchdog groups, somebody ought to go do the job in Wisconsin.
We're doing it.
We're requesting the names of the people who may have voted illegally.
We're going to dig into that in a big way.
steve bannon
Solomon, how do people get to you on social media?
How do they get to the website?
john solomon
Jay Solomon reports on Twitter, Facebook, Rumble, all the places you can go, Parler, you name it.
It'll be on Getter once that gets up and running.
And JustTheNews.com, that's where we put all our news every day.
steve bannon
I gotta tell you, watch Solomon.
When he says Wisconsin, we think it's the lowest hanging fruit.
When John Solomon's in your business, if you're a bad guy, bad things happen.
John Solomon, thank you so much, honor to have you on, sir.
john solomon
Thank you, Steve.
Happy Fourth of July.
steve bannon
Brother, happy Independence Day.
We're going to return in a minute.

willie geist
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
But they feel more urgent now today, in the last several years in particular, of what we saw around the election, a shaking of the foundation of one of our core democratic institutions, and that is the peaceful transfer of power.
Claire McCaskill, I'm interested in your thoughts as we head into this 4th of July weekend.
unidentified
We're going to start a new family tradition in my family on the 4th of July, and every 4th of July going forward, we're going to watch that video that the New York Times put together of January 6th.
steve bannon
Hi, welcome back to the War Room.
I want to talk about the scale of what we've got going on here.
Remember, we're live today.
We're going to be live on Saturday.
We're live on Monday throughout the weekend with Independence Day, combining it to what's happening with the anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party.
All weekend, we've got guests.
I want to bring in a very special guest now, Norbin Laden, about a tweet you sent the other day.
First, I'd like to get your response to the Morning Joe segment.
Where they're sitting there going, they're equating what happened on 1-6 to basically being anti-American, to the destruction of our democracy.
Can you give us your thoughts and observations on that?
noor bin laden
Sure.
First of all, thank you for having me on.
It's an honor to be here.
I've been watching the events unfold since this fake insurrection ever took place on January 6th, completely dumbfounded.
Incredibly upset.
And I was actually one of the first to write about it in mid January for one of our mutual favorites, revolver.news.
And even though it took me a good five days to put my thoughts in writing, because as I said, I was so upset, watching upstanding American citizens be targeted and slandered in such a despicable way being compared
To some of the biggest scum who have ever walked this earth and not to mention the horrible comparison of 1.6 and essentially a non-event with one of the greatest tragedies of the past, the greatest tragedy of the past 20 years.
And having this event being weaponized against fellow American citizens has been I have no words.
steve bannon
Let's drill down on that for a second.
You're obviously talking about the 9-11 versus 1-6.
Walk us through that.
What was it that hit you in the solar plexus or really upset you about how particularly, and we're not trying to justify certain of the behavior that happened in 1-6, but overall, For the Trump movement and the Patriot movement, etc.
to be denigrated like it is.
You just saw Claire McCaskill right there saying they're going to have a family tradition of watching on the 4th of July to see who the bad guys are.
So what was it specifically that upset you when you saw how people were being treated and particularly how they were raising up what happened on the 6th of January to this massive tragedy we had 20 years ago in our country?
noor bin laden
Well, Steve, it's just very simple.
I abhor injustice.
And this, to me, is a grave injustice that is being perpetuated against the American people and beyond the slander of approximately 80 million people who have voted for President Trump in the last election.
This is much more serious.
We see the actual persecution of upstanding citizens who are currently held in jail Some are in solitary confinement.
For what?
For going to a peaceful protest.
Certainly, there were agitators there.
We know.
We've been reading, you know, as I said, revolver.news.
And your audience is familiar with that.
But clearly, it was a peaceful protest that was staged, in my opinion, to appear as something else.
And this is the tweet that you put up.
And it is so clearly an event that was weaponized in order To take the whole national security apparatus, turn it inwards against American citizens for one purpose only, to target silence anybody who dares question the legitimacy of this regime following the November 3rd election.
steve bannon
Can you walk through, you know, this is your first time in the War Room, and we've wanted to have you on for a while, particularly since you have a way of, I think, in your writing, in your thinking, and when you, I've seen you being interviewed, of cutting through a lot of things and focus, what we say, the signal, not the noise.
Can you just walk our audience through your journey of how you, because quite frankly, people would sit there right now and say, hey, you're at that kind of, you've got Revolver, and then you've got Hardcore Revolver.
You're in the Hardcore Revolver.
Proud to be.
unidentified
You're proud, you're Darren Beattie, you know, even to the 10th power.
steve bannon
Walk us through your journey.
How did you hear particularly that you can, when you talk and write, it's with a certain clarity, moral clarity, and practical clarity that other people may not have from the experience.
Walk us through your journey.
noor bin laden
Yes, for people who aren't aware of my story and who are finding out about me for the first time, yes, I do carry the name Bin Laden.
My father is from that family.
But my parents split up, I was eight months old.
And there are a few factors as to why I am, you know, I call myself a patriot at heart.
Although I'm a Swiss national, I've been going to the United States since the age of three multiple times a year.
So America is really my second home after Switzerland.
And from the moment I set foot On U.S.
soil, my love for America has only grown since, especially as I grew up and I started reading about the founding fathers and what they managed to accomplish.
In essence, leaving, you know, this legacy of the greatest America being the greatest country in the world and combining that with my deep understanding and value of freedom because of my parents' separation and the arduous fight of my mother.
To raise me and my two eldest sister in Switzerland, as opposed to Saudi Arabia, this clash of how my life could have been had I, you know, been raised in a place as authoritarian as Saudi Arabia compared to the West.
At a very young age, I was very aware of what a blessing that is.
And the last reason would be perhaps a little bit more universal.
For your audience to understand.
But everybody knows that whatever happens in America has repercussions on the rest of the world.
And so we are millions and millions of patriots watching from all over the world at what's going on.
Because we value freedom.
We love your republic.
We want to see patriots safeguard this republic from this hostile takeover.
And, yeah, safeguard your republic.
steve bannon
No, this is why we always refer to what's happening in Arizona as the new Concord Bridge because the shot heard around the world.
Everything that's happened in America from our founding has had implications that people have looked at us as a beacon of freedom starting at Concord in Lexington.
That's why I wanted to have you on in our Independence Day really commemoration.
It's most important, I think, that the Patriot Movement here, sometimes because we're so tied up in what's going on in the United States, how are we being viewed right now as far as the freedom and liberty that the revolutionary generation in 1776 fought for?
What do you think the world, particularly people like yourself, that are supportive of the Patriot Movement and think that that kind of freedom and blessings ought to be bestowed on everyone, where do you think America stands right now from your perspective and how do you think the world looks at us?
noor bin laden
As I said, we are millions of patriots who are watching very closely and support you and are rooting for you and for your success.
And whether, you know, it was me with my little operation a couple of weeks ago on Lake Geneva making that statement, or, you know, fellow patriots in Guatemala a few days prior, patriots in Japan, patriots in Nigeria, I mean, since November 3rd, there have been plenty of people taking a stand to show that we are standing with you
in this fight. And as you said, we understand and more countries better understand because they live under stricter regimes than Switzerland, although as we saw, freedom of speech here isn't really protected either, as it turns out.
But across the world, you know, you said it, America is the beacon of liberty and freedom and what your founding fathers were able to secure for future for its citizens and descendants is one of the greatest gifts that humanity has ever seen and is the benchmark To which all other societies can hold their leaders accountable.
steve bannon
How can our audience start to follow you?
How do they get more access to you?
Because you're also a window of which they can see the Patriot movement to the rest of the world.
So how do they follow you on social media?
How do they go to your website?
I know people follow you on Revolver, but if people want to stay in touch every day, how do they do that?
noor bin laden
The best way I would say is my Twitter, which is at Norbin Laden.
For your viewers, my name is actually written B-I-N-L-A-D-I-N because that's the original translation from Arabic.
And that's the name on my passport.
So that's the way I go, the name that I have and use.
So it's Norbin Laden with an I at the end.
And my website is NorbinLaden.com.
And I have something else in the works.
I'm starting a podcast, which is coming out.
This weekend with a very special guest that your audience also really appreciates.
steve bannon
How are they going to be able to get to the podcast?
Because we really want to promote that.
How do they get to the podcast?
noor bin laden
Thanks.
It's called Norbin Laden Calls and you can find it on Podbean.
So NorbinLadenCalls.Podbean.com.
steve bannon
We'll make sure we put that up in the live chat and put it up on our website also.
Look, you're an original thinker and a powerful thinker, powerful writer, and incredible in interviews.
So don't ever stop.
You're one of the global patriots.
Norbin Laden with a new podcast is going to come out this weekend.
We'll make sure we're promoting it wherever I can see it.
Thank you so much.
Honored to have you on.
noor bin laden
Thank you.
steve bannon
This is the key.
Whether it's Lao Bajing in China, Our expatriates of Saudi Arabia living in Switzerland.
The Patriot Movement is a global movement.
It's a global movement.
We're going to return in a moment with Rahim Ghassan and Stephen K. Bannon.
You're in The War Room.
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
Welcome back to the War Room.
I want to tell everybody we're live all weekend through the good offices of Real America's Voice, John Fredericks Radio, our distribution partners, also live in Mandarin, simulcast in Mandarin, live in Beijing in China, to the diaspora throughout the world, also in Japanese now.
So, we're live on Independence Day tomorrow, 10 to noon, for our Independence Day special.
You're not going to want to miss it.
And Monday, we're going to be back Monday live with both the shows, the 10 to noon and also the 5 o'clock.
I want to thank our sponsor, MyPillow.com, the Freedom Fighters.
Mike Lindell is going to join us tomorrow to talk about the revolutionary generation of 1776.
Just heard Norbin Laden join us talking about, she's a Swiss citizen, but about this global movement of patriots that look to the United States to continue to fight for freedom, democracy, and the rule of law, all of it.
So it's going to be a powerful weekend.
We're juxtaposing the Chinese Communist Party, the founding of the Chinese Communist Party in Shanghai.
What this transnational criminal organization has done to destroy the Chinese people and Chinese civilization and their partnership with the 1% throughout the world.
So it's going to be a not miss weekend as we juxtapose both of it, talk about our freedom, talk about the revolutionary generation throughout the weekend.
I want to talk about, I think today right now we've got the biggest audience we've ever had in the live chat and most operations are shut down today.
It just shows you people hunger and thirst for this and we're going to give it to you every day of the week.
We're going to thank everybody.
Rahim, a very special week.
One of the things we love to do is profile this rising generation of thinkers and people that are going to be, it's a fourth turning, people we may not have heard of so much but are going to be at the forefront of this fight for freedom and democracy.
And really, if we haven't, our technical problems worked out, and we apologize.
Huge storms on the East Coast yesterday, particularly in my hometown of Richmond.
Knocked out the John Fredericks Radio Network in Washington, D.C.
Knocked out the Real America's Voice studio in D.C.
for a while, so we've had some technical problems throughout the day.
But do we have Paige on?
Paige Wiley?
Do we have her?
This amazing piece About Joe Biden and his apparatus being the concierge of American decline.
I gotta tell you, as soon as I read it, I said, we've got to have her on.
This is just incredible.
Paige, are you with us?
unidentified
I'm here.
Can you hear me, Steve?
steve bannon
I hear you perfectly.
Listen, just take us through the article.
I want to put it up on the screen.
It's incredible.
The title is incredible and what you walk through about the managed decline of our country.
And this is why Donald Trump was elected in 16.
It's a rejection by working class people, middle class people.
They don't want to see America in decline and they particularly don't want to see an elite that's going through managed decline.
And that's why this title of the concierge for our decline is incredible.
Walk us through your piece.
How did you come up with the idea?
And tell us what the major points are.
unidentified
Yeah, thank you, Steve.
Thank you so much for having me on.
The origination of this piece was basically that, you know, what are the defining attributes of the Biden administration?
And it struck me that those defining attributes are complacency and negligence.
And when people see this, it strikes me that the public loses confidence that this is a leader who can steward our country to success, that this is a leader who is dedicated to our country's success.
So I considered, you know, a lot of people, they attempt to paint Biden in various different ways to smear him and to make him unpopular.
But I don't think anyone can do it better than he does himself, which is to sort of stand idly by as these really urgent problems accumulate for our citizens.
And he's, you know, he's licking ice cream.
He's wearing these silly aviator shades.
He really comes across as very uncaring.
And so the thesis is that complacency and negligence define his approach to leadership.
steve bannon
What is it?
What is it about the media, like he goes to Miami and they're looking for a counselor-in-chief, they're looking for somebody to give you a big hug and pat you on the head.
So when you talk about complacency and negligence, it seems like it's a lot of the mainstream media reinforces this kind of complacency where he's not taking on the urgent issues that they, in fact, exacerbating these problems like the invasion on the southern border.
But the media, they went gaga and they're trying to do a misdirection play on this Miami condo, right?
It's global warming, it's everything, but when he goes down there they just go gaga with, you know, he's councilman chief, patting people on the head. At the same time, the wife has the cover story on Vogue where she's like, you know, she's the mother of the nation essentially.
So what's this juxtaposition of the mainstream media saying he actually is, that complacency is a good thing?
unidentified
Yes, I think, you know, they're invested in defining his presidency as this quote unquote return to normalcy.
When in fact, I guess the normal that they're referring to is a government that is focused on sort of extracting from the American people and redistributing to the donor class and special interests and so on.
So they are interested in sort of painting it over with silliness and trivialities.
And instead, that opens up the sort of the runway for his administration to focus on these ideological abstractions These sort of, these really transformative, I would call them even ideological experiments, which is, what happens to the country if we just open the borders and let two million people in every single year illegally?
Which is what they're on pace to do right now.
These ideological experiments, like what happens if we turn off pipelines or move away from what we know to be a reliable source of energy and leave Americans to sort of fend for themselves with these unreliable sources and so on?
They are papering over the really far-reaching implications of these experiments.
steve bannon
Rahim, I know you want to jump in here.
You and I talked about this piece in depth.
Jump in.
raheem kassam
Yeah, look, I mean, there's a bit of breaking news this morning that I think was really interesting and plays into part of this.
I want to read from this morning's Politico for you, and Paige, get your reaction to this.
It says, Joe Biden's White House is awfully crowded.
There are 560 people working in the Executive Office of the President, with salaries totaling nearly $50 million, according to disclosures released Thursday afternoon.
That's more people than Barack Obama or Donald Trump's White Houses according to a review of their annual disclosures.
Neither of those two previous White Houses ever cracked 500 people on the payroll.
My question to you is, you know, is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's White House having to burnish a lack of competency at the very top by bringing in dozens and dozens of people to kind of pick up the slack here?
Because that's That's what it feels like, and these two camps we know are now constantly briefing against one another.
Your thoughts on this extraordinary amount of hiring that's going on by this White House?
unidentified
Well, that's a very interesting point.
My take on that, actually, is that they bring on people to manage public relations as opposed to actually solving problems.
They seem to think that the American people don't really have real problems, that anytime an issue comes up, The locus of their interest is making the problem go away in the press rather than actually solving the problem.
So I think that maybe they subscribe to this ideology that the government is full of these fabulously competent bureaucrats who know how to solve every problem and are working away like busy bees.
But having been in the White House, having seen a lot of this dynamic, that simply isn't the case.
You really need strong leadership.
You really need someone holding holding people accountable to say what is the progress you're making on these problems facing our country and so when I when I hear that statistic that they're loading up on on people in the White House it makes me think that they're loading up on you know press handlers and PR people and so on and so forth rather than anyone really focused on fixing problems.
steve bannon
Paige, this is the first time I've had you on.
The article on American Mind is amazing.
We're putting it up in the live chat.
We're going to have it up on our website today.
Walk people through.
What's your background, and what are you doing now, and where are you headed?
Because you're young.
You're someone that's really going to be a leader in this movement.
So walk us through how you got here and where you're going.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
I appreciate you saying that.
Well, I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, which is a city that's very close to my heart.
I saw this sort of Pre-Biden administration managed decline for many years growing up there because it is an industrial city that suffered from globalism, it suffered from offshoring, it suffered from this neglect.
And so that is a cause very close to my heart.
I grew up in Toledo and in college, I started paying more attention to these problems that people are sort of encouraged to ignore or encouraged to be distracted from.
And I, having grown up in Ohio, seeing the opioid crisis and the loss of manufacturing employment, when Donald Trump was running, I took notice.
And people who I cared about took notice, and they said, this is a man who speaks very honestly about the problems facing our city and our state.
And so I began my career at a think tank in Washington, and soon joined the White House when the president was elected.
And I started in the White House at the Council of Economic Advisors.
Um, which which studies economic problems and advises the president on economic data, um, to help him make the best choices possible for the American people.
Um, and then I moved to the Office of Political Affairs in the White House, and currently I am with a new company called New Founding, which endeavors to organize and leverage the power of, um, American entrepreneurs and consumers, um, who are sick of this ideological fixation that, um, corporations and technology companies and media companies have.
And we can say our economy doesn't have to be like this.
What are the solutions, market driven solutions, to moving our country toward a more human way of life?
steve bannon
Page, do you think your generation, I mean, the people you grew up in Ohio with, the people you went to college with, and the young people of all political stripes in Washington, D.C., do you think the young generation, your generation, understands the problems of the country as you understand them, kind of a MAGA perspective, that we got this kind of global elite That's comfortable, particularly in the American part of that, that's comfortable with the managed decline of our nation.
Do you think that's getting to be... Do you think, one, it's widespread in your generation understanding that?
Because I say your generation, I think, is the new greatest generation, but right now you're nothing more than Russian serfs.
You don't own anything, you're not going to own anything, and the elites are comfortable with that.
Do you think there's an awakening among your generation about this very central topic?
unidentified
Yes, I do, Steve.
I think that when people look around and they notice how hard it is to start a family, people feel isolated.
They feel that it's very difficult to have the things that the American dream sort of promises, that the promise of our country is slipping away.
And people of all political stripes are noticing this, that it's almost impossible to buy a house as a young person, that these stages of life are happening later and later, and people are wondering, will this ever happen to me?
And so they're really wondering, who is safeguarding the promise of this country?
And I think that not everyone has arrived at the explanations that I personally have that I feel explain what is going on in our country.
But I do think that the first step is people saying, this really isn't right.
We need people to fix this.
steve bannon
Page, how do people follow you?
How do they get to your writings?
You're up in American Mind right now.
How do they get to your writings?
How do they follow you on social media?
unidentified
Yeah, thank you.
I expect I will have more pieces in The American Mind if I can articulate myself in a meaningful way going forward.
And I'm also on Twitter.
My handle is Midwesterner.
It's spelled M-I-D-W-E-S-T-E-R-N-E-U-R.
So the U in there with Midwesterner.
raheem kassam
Hang on, Paige.
I love Matthew Peterson and the American Mind, folks.
I think it's a phenomenal website.
I think everybody needs to join it.
But, I will make you a better offer.
Anytime you want to write at the National Pulse, you have a platform there as well.
unidentified

Thank you.
steve bannon
Paige, you're incredible.
I gotta tell you, we're so proud to be able to introduce this rising young generation of leaders.
Thank you for joining us in the War Room.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
So nice to be on.
steve bannon
Rahim, this gets back to your point.
I'm telling you, you and Schilling nailed it.
We had Cortez on a day, we had Page on a day, we had Norah Bin Laden.
This is the central issue of our time, at least internally to this country.
Rahim Kassam.
raheem kassam
Yeah, look, it's nice to see that so many people now are coming into this fire.
I'm not saying that Page is necessarily new to it, but it's great that people are writing and expressing themselves and putting, you know, ideas out there because I'm so sick and tired of, you know, getting these Heritage Foundation press releases and these, you know, Nikki Haley fundraising emails.
There's very little action around around those people.
It's great to see, you know, and I love the American Mind.
I think it's an amazing website.
People really need to go there every day.
And it really, it really, really makes me feel like, you know, big victories very close on the horizon.
steve bannon
Victory begets victory.
And yes, I'll say it all the time.
We're actually winning.
unidentified
Okay?

Um, but we are working flat out all weekend apart from those 90 minutes.
Steve, we've got a lot going up on the national pulse, uh, over the course of the next 48 hours.
We actually just published some more really interesting information about this, uh, lady Gwen Berry, the Olympic track and field athlete, who turned her back on the American flag.
Lots of people have been talking about her and The great Natalie Winters has gone through her Twitter history, found some really interesting social media posts about some anti-white messages, some anti-Mexican messages, some anti-Chinese messages, some rape jokes, you know, these are the types of people that we're dealing with here.
And as I said earlier on, Berkshire Hathaway, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett, you know, if you want to take the fight to freedom, In this country then freedom will fight back.
We're going to be posting a long list of brands that are associated with Berkshire Hathaway and what people can avoid if they don't want to support Charlie Munger and his insistence on selling out the nation to the Chinese Communist Party and its authoritarian methods.

Now listen, I want to end this edition.
As we've been basically going through the celebration or the commemoration of the Chinese Communist Party's 100th anniversary of this transnational criminal organization to tie it all back to the United States and our freedom here.
I want to bring in Rachel, one of the Laobai Jing, because remember it's their fight that we support and through their freedom we're going to actually free the world.
Rachel, I've got to ask you in the 100th celebration with CNN and the Financial Times going crazy and how great it is.
You've lived it.
Talk to us about what it's like to live under the transnational criminal organization that is the Chinese Communist Party, ma'am.
ava chen
Yes.
First of all, thank you, Mr. Bannon, for having me on the Warren Show.
There is a very famous writer in the 20th century.
I think every Chinese knows him.
His name is Lu Xun.
He once wrote, he died actually in 1938.
He once said, there are only two errors in China.
The era of stable slavery and the era of fighting for becoming slaves.
So I'm going to explain this.
I believe that the Chinese living in the control of the CCP today are slaves.
I will give you two perspectives of mine.
One is from the historical perspective and under the Mao's era.
And then if we have time, we can get on to the modern day China.
So under the Mao's regime and the dictatorship and authoritarianism, A lot of people know we have a great Chinese famine that happened from 1959 to 1961.
However, in China, nobody can talk about the three years of famine.
We all regarded it as three years of a natural disaster.
This is in your textbook.
This is on television programming from the CCP propaganda.
So you're only allowed to say this is three years of natural disaster, but it's purely a lie.
Everything about it, it's man-made.
So first of all, a lot of audience, even the Chinese, they don't know, prior to the natural disaster, there are a couple, it's called patriotic health campaign or movements that initiated by Mao and dictator.
One of them is called eradicating schistosomiasis.
So schistosomiasis is a disease that caused by parasitic worm in freshwater.
So the vector of the disease is snail.
So the know-it-all dictator leader, Mao, believed that he can solve this problem by kill the snail because he wants to increase the grain production at that time.
And the disease also refers to as a peasant disease.
So what he did is he basically resort to land reclamation and irrigation schemes, which caused a lot of water logging and water supply issues.
And contributing to the severe flood and soil degradation, even to this day.
unidentified
So this is one of the campaign causing the grain to yield low, right prior to the Great Famine.
And the other one is ridiculous campaign.
ava chen
It's called Wiping Out Four Pests.
It started also similar time.
And one of the four pests is actually sparrow.
Because at that time, the dictatorship, the tyranny believed sparrow eat grains.
If they can kill all the sparrow, They can solve the problem.
It's not because Chinese people don't have experts.
unidentified
We do.
ava chen
It's just because under this dictatorship system, nobody can speak a different view or voice even mild dissent because all those behaviors are considered seditious.
So we're met with consequences.
unidentified
So they actually killed all the sparrows.
ava chen
It's a nationwide propaganda campaign.
It involved kids, like six years old, using slingshots to kill the sparrow. So only shortly after the next year, spring, they find out the locust can and the locust ate all the grains. So they have no rice left for the people. But this is not the worst of all, which really causing the starvation of 30 to 45 million Chinese people are really the system.
What I mean by that is because at that time, it's a controlled economy. So the government dictates the peasants in terms of what you grow and how much the government would buy from you and at what price.
So you have no choice.
Everything is controlled by the central government, the CCP.
steve bannon
Rachel, hang on one second.
I want to bring you back at five, because I want to take more time to develop this.
Nobody talks about the deaths of Chinese citizens, particularly Chinese peasants, of 30, 40 million, starved to death.
Because of the decisions of Mao Zedong and his thing.
We're going to bring you back at five o'clock because I also want to go through and talk to you about Charlie Mungers of the world and the American elites that are in business with the Chinese Communist Party.
And don't believe that there's don't believe the Chinese people have been enslaved and they don't have any problem with the destruction of Chinese civilization by the transnational criminal organization that is the Chinese Communist Party.
It's an honor to have you on.
We're going to have you back on five to develop this further.
We're back here live at five o'clock, Independence Day weekend.
Talking about the slavery of the Chinese people, the independence that was fought for, the American people.
Where do we stand today?
Independence Weekend in the War Room, back here at 5 o'clock.
It's going to be explosive.
