Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
anthony fauci
You don't want to frighten the American public.
unidentified
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.
anthony fauci
This is going to be a real serious problem.
unidentified
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always.
Because if you don't, then the worst happens.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
kari lake
So now we find out last Thursday in that Arizona Senate hearing with these investigators who've been searching and looking into this election where a lot of things didn't add up.
They said that the wrong type of paper was used.
It wasn't the right type of paper.
And the printing of those ballots, the alignment was off anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000%.
They want more information.
They want to investigate that more, because that means a lot of votes could have been counted the wrong way, possibly were thrown out.
We don't know exactly.
But I, for one, as a voter, I want to know my vote counted.
And I was handed a Sharpie, and I'm not so certain that it did now.
This gives me a great pause and I want more information on it and I know other voters want more information.
I frankly think from what we're already finding in Maricopa County that every voter in all of Arizona deserves to have their ballot looked at and we need to maybe look at expanding this audit from just Maricopa County into all of the counties of Arizona.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome to The War Room.
It is Wednesday, the 21st of July, the year of our Lord, 2021.
That's Carrie Lake.
Carrie is in a primary in Arizona, running for governor in the Republican primary.
She's calling now for, and she only had a chance there, she did a lot more about the details of the Arizona audit, but she's now calling for an audit just not to expand to Pinal and Pima County, but to the whole entire state.
I want to bring in Boris Epstein for the latest.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania.
Boris, you heard Kerry Lake, a candidate running.
Everybody that's now in the hunt politically is saying, hey, whether it's Georgia, Arizona, and we've got the 3 November movement that says full forensic audits in all 50 states.
Dave Clements, Captain Seth Keschel and the team over at America First audits over Telegram.
Expands every day now.
Significantly over 100,000 citizens piling into these chat rooms.
They're going to crowdsource this.
Give us an update.
Let's start in Arizona where Kerry Lake is.
What's the latest there, Boris?
boris epshteyn
Steve, the latest is great to be with you.
Great to be with the MAGA Brain Trust.
That's the audience, the viewership of the show.
The latest is this.
The latest is that the count of the discrepancy continues.
They continue to count the ballots as we speak in Arizona.
One of the machines was out.
These are old school machines.
Think about treasury machines, big machines.
One of the machines was out.
Now it's actually getting to be back online.
So they're about a third of the way through that count of the ballots.
And they expect to be finished at some point next week.
There continues to be a discrepancy.
The amount of discrepancy varies.
As they go from pallet of ballots to pallet of ballots.
From what I'm hearing, they have not yet gotten to the pallets where the most problematic boxes and batches of ballots were.
So they are continuing that process.
The other points are extremely significant.
I'm hearing to expect subpoenas dropping to reconcile the discrepancies that we discussed last week.
The 74,000 more mail-in ballots returned that were requested, the over 10,000 The voters added to the rolls who voted on November 3rd, and other very significant discrepancies, including the wiping of the access locks.
So look for more subpoenas to drop in Arizona.
The county recorder, the Maricopa County recorder, Riche, continues to say that, oh, I'm with President Trump, and I'm with this movement for election integrity, but yet the routers haven't been turned over, their information hasn't been turned over, we know the passwords haven't been turned over.
Here's the bottom line.
We know that this election in Maricopa was hacked.
Okay?
Was hacked.
We know there are deep discrepancies between the numbers of ballots that should have been turned over for the audit and what was certified.
Alright?
So the bottom line is that more information is going to come out.
It's going to come out slowly.
We've got to be patient.
But more information is coming and a lot of it is coming under subpoena.
steve bannon
But if you tell me about subpoenas, then that means Maricopa County is not turning over anything voluntarily.
We've got to go back to course, is basically what you're saying.
Except for this count that's going to come out.
The difference between ballots you've got on hand and what the recorded vote is, is going to be explosive.
That number has not come out yet.
There is a discrepancy.
Let's go to Georgia.
Because I think everybody realizes now, Georgia is the festering sore.
And people in Georgia, the citizens, should be outraged at what's going on.
What's the latest in Georgia?
boris epshteyn
Latest in Georgia is that there is, right now, as we speak, a push To start inspecting the ballots now in Fulton County.
That filing is in front of the Georgia State Supreme Court.
There is a filing due in a lower court in Georgia on unsealing the 140,000 ballots in Fulton County, the absentee ballots.
That response is due on Monday the 26th.
So I'm not sure that the State Supreme Court is going to get ahead of that response, but nevertheless, nevertheless, the move, the push to inspect the ballots right now They're already talking about decertification there.
Let's go to Pennsylvania.
I understand that's a complete throwdown there with Shapiro and the supervisors in Philadelphia.
They're not going to turn over anything.
If you inspect the ballots, there will be more than enough ballots to overturn this election from Joe Biden to President Trump in Georgia.
steve bannon
They're actually talking, they're already talking about decertification there.
Let's go to Pennsylvania.
I understand that's a complete throwdown there with Shapiro and the supervisors in Philadelphia.
They're not going to turn over anything.
What do you know?
boris epshteyn
Absolutely.
Shapiro, the supervisors in Philadelphia, and even the Secretary of State are telling the counties to not comply with the request with a letter sent requiring a full forensic investigation by Doug Mastriano.
Even York County, where it's a Republican county with a lot of Democrat precincts, they're being told not to comply.
So what I'm hearing is there's 10 more days to comply.
Likely you will not see compliance out of Philadelphia County at least.
And then expect subpoenas, but we absolutely need for Jake Corman, the State Senate President, to do the right thing, to hire the right legal team, and give Doug Mastriano the backup that Senator Mastriano needs to fight this battle in court and get to a full forensic investigation of these and other counties in Pennsylvania.
steve bannon
We told the Patriots last week, or a couple weeks ago, when Merrick Garland got his letters to start flying, you're going to be in court with subpoenas in Arizona.
You're going to be in court with subpoenas in Georgia.
You're going to be in court with subpoenas in Pennsylvania and other places.
Remember, they got 81 million votes, but they're not prepared to sit there and go, oh yeah, we won by such a landslide.
We'll just rub your nose in it.
They're going to fight you every step of the way, and we're going to win this every step of the way.
Just be there.
Can we play the Liz Cheney piece?
Has Denver got that?
I want you to listen to Boris.
Darren Beattie could make it this afternoon.
We're going to get Darren back on about the January 6th commission.
Let's play it.
unidentified
The American people deserve to know what happened.
The people who did this must be held accountable.
There must be an investigation that is nonpartisan, that is sober, that is serious, that gets to the facts wherever they may lead.
And at every opportunity, the minority leader has attempted to prevent the American people from understanding what happened, to block this investigation.
Today, the Speaker objected to two Republican members.
She accepted three others.
She objected to two, one of whom may well be a material witness to events that led to that day, that led to January 6th.
The other, who disqualified himself by his comments, in particular, over the last 24 hours, demonstrating that he is not taking this seriously.
He is not dealing with the facts of this investigation, but rather viewed it as a political platform.
steve bannon
Okay, you saw where Pelosi didn't allow Jim Banks and Jim Jordan.
What's your assessment?
She's out there dumping it all over everybody.
boris epshteyn
First of all, I'm calling on Kevin McCarthy right now to remove Liz Cheney from the Republican caucus.
We have no reason as Republicans to have Liz Cheney in our team.
She's not a representative of the Republican Party, of the Republican movement, and most vitally of the MAGA movement.
Liz Cheney's a Democrat.
Let her go hang out with the Democrats.
Okay?
We should not have her in the Republican caucus.
steve bannon
McCarthy's also announced he's going to do his own investigation.
We are trying to get Darren Beatty on tomorrow morning.
Darren Beatty is going to volunteer, I think, on this show to be part of that.
What do you think about McCarthy's move?
boris epshteyn
Let's do it!
I'm in!
steve bannon
Do you think McCarthy made a good move by saying, if you're not going to take my guys, I'm not going to put anybody else up?
Do you agree with that?
boris epshteyn
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
The Democrats have had a horrible couple of weeks.
Let's put this together.
Signal, not noise.
You've got these runaway Democrats from Texas thinking they're on some freedom mission.
They get drunk on a plane, get to D.C., give everybody COVID, including people at the White House and potentially Kamala Harris, and now have to go back in shame thanks to them Texas is staying red for at least 10 more years, okay?
You've got Nancy Pelosi acting like Joseph Stalin with the show trials here, picking and choosing who can participate from the other side.
An absolute joke and embarrassment.
You've got Maxine Waters saying that Trump has to be stopped by any way possible, saying the quiet part out loud.
The Democrats are melting down, they're embarrassing themselves, and they're melting down under the weight of the November 3 movement, so all Republicans have to follow the MAGA lead here and make it clear that we are going to get to the bottom of November 3rd.
And that January 6th commission?
Yes, it's a good idea, as long as it investigates what happened on November 3rd, what happened in the 2020 election, and gets to the bottom of the Time Magazine article about how the Democrats stole this election.
Democrats want an investigation?
Let's give them an investigation.
Let's go to Wisconsin.
Let's go to Michigan.
Let's get all the info from Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, and put it on wide display.
Let's have a good time.
Let's get the information out there, and then the Democrats will be embarrassed even further, and they will be the perennial minority.
steve bannon
Remember, it was Darren Beatty who said it here a couple weeks ago, hey, you've got to look at Michigan as a forerunner to January 6th.
It turns out, yesterday they announced, of the 18 plotters in the Michigan situation with the governor, 12 of them are FBI informants, or government informants.
12 of the 18.
Okay?
He was dead right on that.
He's going to get to the bomb on January 6th.
boris epshteyn
That's kind of a majority, right?
Even my simple math tells me that.
steve bannon
It kind of figures like two-thirds.
Boris, how do people track you down?
We're going to get Ben Berkwan up in a second.
Let's get Denver getting ready for that.
How did they get to you, Boris?
boris epshteyn
These are not the dog days of summer.
This is the time to get mobilized, to always color within the lines, but to stay strong and to fight back.
I'm at BorisEP on Twitter, at BorisEP on Getter, coming in hot on Getter.
Boris underscore Epstein, Boris underscore EPSHTEYN on the gram, staying hot on the gram.
Stay strong, God bless, and rock and roll.
steve bannon
Thanks, Boris.
Okay, we're going to go to South Dakota.
South Dakota is in Sioux Falls, South Dakota on August 10th, 11th, and 12th.
Mike Lindell, the announcer on the show today, is putting up $5 million as a bounty.
Any hacker that gets approved or any cyber specialist gets approved, they can show that his data is not the exact data from the 2020 election, which he shows that Trump won overwhelmingly.
He's going to present all that.
That's in Sioux Falls on the 10th, 11th, and 12th.
I want to go out now to Ben Burquam right now in South Dakota for Freedom Fest.
Ben, tell us what you got out there.
ben bergquam
Hey Steve, it's good to be back out here.
So the Freedom Fest is usually in Las Vegas.
They actually left Las Vegas to come here to South Dakota.
We're in Rapid City, South Dakota, about a half an hour away from Mount Rushmore.
And it is packed already.
The event starts today.
It really kicks off tonight with J.P.
Spears, who I'm really looking forward to seeing.
But it's really, it's all about personal liberty.
I've been interviewing people all day and the main focus is on the loss of constitutional liberty with all of the COVID lockdowns and everything that have come from that and the lies that they've been told by our governors and by our media, the fake news media across America.
But also just liberty in general, this fear that we're moving towards socialism and communism.
Have some folks from Venezuela that are here that I'll be interviewing and it's really It's how do we save American liberty?
And it's just what you and Boris were just talking about.
It's about saving the elections, saving our election integrity, saving our border integrity and our border sovereignty.
The interesting thing with libertarians, though, is you kind of get a wide swath.
You get some open borders libertarians, so we'll be talking to some of them and what they think about the million-plus people that have already been captured coming across our border.
Down to the others that realize what a crisis that we're living in.
So, it's everything in between.
It's the whole political spectrum from left-leaning Libertarian to right-leaning, and we'll be covering it all here for the next four days.
steve bannon
Ben, real quickly, we've got 30 seconds.
I want to hold you over the break.
What size crowd is this out there?
In Vegas, they used to draw thousands.
I mean, it was 5, 10, 15,000 at the top of the Libertarian movement.
How big a crowd are they going to have this year?
ben bergquam
I've seen hundreds, and I've seen a lot more young people at this one than I've seen at previous.
I've been in the auditoriums there to standing room only, and so I don't know the exact number, but I've witnessed hundreds just today in the line behind me as people were registering.
The lines wrapped all the way around the building when they opened up registration, but I don't know exactly the number yet.
I'll find that out for you.
steve bannon
Ben, just hang on.
Stay through the break.
We'll be back with Ben Burquam of Arapa City, South Dakota for Freedom Fest.
unidentified
will return.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room Pandemic.
Here's your host Stephen K Banham.
steve bannon
Okay, remember, the full forensic audit movement of 3 November now is metastasizing.
If you go over to Telegram, you can jump in any one of those sites.
Dave Clements is working on that.
Captain Seth Keschel and others.
This is a crowdsource of American Patriots.
The movement to get to the bottom of November 3rd continues on.
We're getting to the bottom of Wuhan.
You saw how Fauci got lit up yesterday.
Rand Paul is working on a criminal referral, as you know, Senator, to the Justice Department.
We're going to try to get Dave Ramaswamy on here in a little while for talking about they're trying to use this budget gimmick, as we told you, to jam through an increase in the debt ceiling.
Also, the $3.5 trillion human infrastructure thing is a complete and total disaster.
It will bury, bury, bury our children for many decades to come.
We've got that.
I want to turn back to Ben Burquam up in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Ben, real quickly, who are the top speakers?
It kicks off today.
How do people get online?
I know Real America's Voice is going up there.
How can people follow it?
ben bergquam
Yeah, you can follow us, Real America's Voice News.
We'll be coming to you live tomorrow from 2 to 3 o'clock Eastern Time here.
And then we'll be breaking into all the shows throughout the day.
I've got some great speakers.
Obviously, Governor Kristi Noem will be here.
Got Larry Elder.
The one who I'm really looking forward to tonight is J.P.
Spears.
He's a comedian, but he's really a cultural influencer.
He's somebody who's out there who started off not as political, but has seen the writing on the wall.
He's going to be here.
And many others.
There's about 100 speakers lined up.
People, political dissidents that have fled communism.
I want to mention one thing real quick though.
I heard you during the break talking about this.
The million illegal aliens that have been captured, Border Patrol estimates though that they're only capturing one third of those illegal aliens.
And the question that I have for Kamala and Joe, how many of those illegal aliens that are coming through have the Delta variant?
All of this is happening.
We're standing here.
We're indoors.
Nobody's wearing a mask.
It's all connected and people need to see that.
People, if you're not involved right now, if you're not engaged in the fight right now, you are part of the problem.
Every single American and every single person around the world that loves liberty has to get engaged.
steve bannon
No, Reynard Jackson told us this a week ago.
This is why it's exploding in L.A.
unidentified
County.
steve bannon
We've got next, Bianca Garza.
Garza is going to be on about the Rio Grande Valley.
We've got Todd Benz from CISO on exactly this topic.
The explosion of COVID throughout the country because of the invasion on the southern border.
Now, Peter Navarro said the other day it's going to be 2 million.
Illegal aliens here at the end of this year.
Real quickly, everybody wants to know, Ben, can we get an update on your lovely wife, the heroic Mrs. Berquam, and what's going on after the accident?
ben bergquam
Man, just thank you.
I just can't say thank you enough to you, Steve, to the War Room Posse, to Real America's Voice News audience.
You guys have been incredible.
I put shoes on for the first time this weekend.
My ankle's still leaking a little bit, but it's getting better.
My wife had her doctor's appointment last week.
She'll still be in a wheelchair for four more weeks.
She broke her pelvis in three places, but she is a warrior.
You talk about the War Room.
My wife, Villy, is a warrior, and I'm just blessed to be married to her.
She'll be in the wheelchair.
She's getting better every single day, and I just cannot thank you guys enough for your prayers, your support.
Just be in there for our family.
It's beyond words, what we've experienced, so thank you.
steve bannon
Ben, you're a beloved figure, your family's beloved, and I gotta tell you, this whole posse in the prayers and the sponsorship and all that, they love you guys, so keep it up and look forward to checking in.
Over the next couple of days, there's Real America's Voice and Ben Berquam up at Freedom Fest up at Rapid City, South Dakota.
Thank you, sir.
From the, what, from the Upper Plains, the High Plains now down to, let's go to the Rio Grande Valley into Houston.
Let's talk to Bianca Gracia.
Bianca, tell us, you know, this report in the Federalist, and if we can get it up into the live chat on the screen, 900% increase in COVID cases in the Rio Grande Valley.
Tell us what's going on down in the Rio Grande Valley with this invasion, ma'am.
bianca gracia
Well, you know, Steve, remember I talked about this back in April when you had me come on.
And I said, you know, people were calling it a crisis.
And I said, Steve, this isn't a crisis, it's an invasion.
And I reported back in August that we were at about 600,000 apprehensions.
And now, as of July 10th, we were told we were at 1.1 million apprehensions.
That's averaging 6,000 apprehensions per day.
We're being told by the or reading by the CB Border Patrol agents that 50% of single adults can't be deported right now because Mexico is not taking them back.
And we've got about 250,000 who have gotten away and we don't know who they are.
So those are the ones that you know on the bailouts and and and you know so this week alone we had 80 large groups consisting of a hundred or more people just walking across Just walking across.
We are literally being invaded, and I keep saying that.
And they wonder why we are in the position that we're in right now.
You know, the COVID is, they do have a spike up in the Rio Grande Valley with COVID cases.
Well, you can imagine why.
Because these people are coming and no one is keeping them out.
No one is telling them anything.
Now, Steve, I was at the state capitol yesterday testifying in front of our House representatives and one of our senators.
Who are going to be preparing some bills for this special session to finish the wall and close the border.
And they wanted to hear from, we had two sheriffs, myself, we had Jason Jones, we had several people who are pretty much keeping up with what's going on.
And it's sad to say that the sheriff's department are still not getting the resources that they need.
And they said the state of Texas has received billions of dollars for COVID.
And the House reps are trying to figure out how to get some of that money for resources with what's going on in the border.
And we tell them, just shut it down.
We don't understand.
We have a majority House, majority Senate, and we have what we think, in leadership, with Governor Abbott, Lieutenant Governor, you'd think that we have a Republican-heavy state, and yet we can't get this under control?
We can't handle it?
He can't shut the border?
Now, I know he went to Del Rio and said, hey, we're gonna go ahead and put up a wall.
Steve, it's not a wall.
He put a chain link fence up.
Well, you know the cartels can cut right through that.
That was nonsense.
It's a waste of money.
Yesterday, Jason Jones testified that I think he's only activated about 500 of our National Guard when they said, look, we've got about 25,000 to 50,000 National Guard.
Why are they not down there at the border helping DPS and preventing these people from continuing to come in?
steve bannon
Bianca, I know you're very close to the grassroots down there.
Are working-class Hispanics, even Democrats, working-class Hispanics, have they had a belly full of this?
Are they outraged as other people throughout the nation at what's happening to them down there with the invasion, with people coming across that are not vaccinated, people coming across that have COVID and not being tested?
What's this feel on the ground down there among working-class Hispanics?
bianca gracia
We are actually starting to see that some of the Democrats, mayors and local representatives, elected officials in small little towns, they're starting to sue the Biden administration.
They can't handle it.
Their counties cannot handle it.
They have no resources.
They testified yesterday.
They said, look, we don't have the gel.
We don't have the space.
We cannot continue to, we just can't.
We're trying to hire deputies at what, $18 an hour?
That's not enough to deal with what's happening.
There are a lot of Democrats, especially the mayors, who are starting to speak up and say, You know, there is a problem down here and you guys are ignoring it.
I think, you know, look, Steve, we saw it right here in 2020, an upsurge in numbers of people who voted for Donald Trump.
You are going to see another big spike of Hispanics voting on a conservative basis.
We have Hispanics that are pretty much signing up to run for office at all levels.
I mean, I've never seen this many Hispanics at a conservative level signing up to run for council mayor.
I mean, they're running for everything from, you know, down from the, I say, always say, from the doghouse to the courthouse.
They are running for every single position.
It is statewide.
I am seeing an uproar.
So I think Hispanics are saying we're fed up.
We're fed up.
steve bannon
They ought to be.
Bianca, how do people get, I know you're Latina's for Trump, how do people get to you?
What's your social media?
We gotta bounce.
Great report.
How do people follow you during the day?
bianca gracia
Steve, they can follow me at Bianca4Texas at any social media platform and you can always go and reach us at latinotrumpcoalition.org.
steve bannon
You're doing a fabulous job.
Thank you for coming on The War Room.
unidentified
Always.
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
I want to bring in now from CIS, Todd Bensman.
Todd, you've just done a big story about this, but this is outrageous of what the Biden administration and others are allowing to happen to our country, but particularly to hard-working blue-collar Hispanics down the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas, and Southern Arizona.
Tell us what you got, sir.
todd bensman
One of the stories that's out there right now is that, you know, this, um, invasion, uh, some people call it, or, you know, I call it a border crisis.
An invasion would be something that is not wanted, but I think that the administration actually wants this.
Uh, but in any case that they're bringing in COVID, uh, lots of folks bringing in, um, you know, they're unvaccinated.
They're coming from countries all over the world.
I just came from Costa Rica, Nicaragua, met Uh, migrants from the Islamic Republic of Mauritania.
I don't think that they're very doing a great job at vaccinating there or masking or whatever.
Uh, and those people are all on their way to the U S border and they're crossing.
There is a point where the immigrants, the illegal aliens are come into contact.
They are turned over to the border patrol.
Uh, we got about 40 of those border patrol agents who are sick right now with COVID.
Uh, the new variants are showing up with these immigrants too.
I don't really know that we are, uh, that solid on the numbers.
Uh, there's definitely a, uh, a spike happening down there in South Texas with the COVID, but it's hard to tell what the breakdown is, how many of those are due to, uh, the immigrants bringing it in with them, or it's just from Mexico.
The border is, uh, you know, sort of not that closed anyway.
For about a year I've been reporting about Mexicans filling up our hospital beds that we worked hard to preserve for American citizens.
They were coming over and filling up all of those beds all the way to the interior of border states.
I believe that that's probably happening again right now.
I think that's the biggest issue that they're taking up hospital, that hospitals are filling up around the border states again.
steve bannon
Yeah, the capacity of the ICU units.
Todd, can you hang on for one second?
Todd Bensman from CIS.
Gonna join us.
We've got Dave Ramaswamy on this absurd $3.5 trillion human infrastructure program and the debt ceiling.
Joe Allen on transhumanism and Elon Musk.

There's five of them, and you get to tell the stories over and over again, pass down the oral traditions of your family by using the My Pillow Bible Pillows, $19.99 each.
Okay, I want to go back to Todd Bensman.
About the Rio Grande, about the COVID coming across.
Todd, we're talking about 2 million, you know, 2 million illegal aliens this year coming up, because it's open invitation.
Why wouldn't they come?
It's a chance to get into the United States to take your shot, right?
Of course, they're trying to put in piecemeal amnesty.
They're talking about in this, in this budget reconciliation, in this $3.5 trillion human infrastructure they're talking about.
We'll have Ramaswamy on next.
They're going to try to slide in an amnesty there for 5 point, over 5 million, 5 million illegal aliens.
What say you, sir?
todd bensman
Well, every time Democrats start talking about amnesty, it's like putting a rock on the gas pedal of your vehicle.
I mean, it's just, it just accelerates the problem because people hear about this all over the world and they're like, I got to get in while the getting's good.
And I think that that's a major problem even just talking about it.
So Republicans probably ought to, or people who are interested in control, basic control of the border, Ought to start opposing that out loud, talking about that as well, just to counter it.
So that's my take on that.
There should be no talk of amnesty at all.
Not out loud.
steve bannon
Todd, we've got to bounce here.
You're a professional now.
Have you ever seen the border or interior enforcement ever be more out of control, sir?
todd bensman
Never.
I've never seen anything like this.
In, in my professional life, and I live in Texas and I've been dealing with the border for a long time.
The main thing that is different here is that it is invited by an administration, by the federal executive branch of an administration is allowing this to happen.
And just wait until they lift title 42.
It is just, I mean, they're inviting, they're inviting the entire world over the border, just like they said they would.
steve bannon
Fatality 42 is the one that limits them because of COVID.
Todd, how do people get your book?
How do they track your writings, Twitter, all of it?
How do they follow you during the day?
todd bensman
Yeah, thanks for asking.
America's Covert Border War.
It's about the jihadist infiltration threat over the border.
You can get it anywhere.
Books are sold.
Amazon, Barnes and Noble.
And I'm at BenzmanTodd on Twitter and CIS.org is Center for Immigration Studies.
All my stuff is there.
steve bannon
Real quickly, Todd, when you were researching that book and writing it, the years it took, did you ever think you'd be in the summer of 2021 and be in a sitch and rush right now?
You essentially have an invasion going on.
Did that ever occur to you that would get worse?
todd bensman
I mean, look, there are ups and downs and ebbs and flows and cycles that come and go.
But it always happens in opposition to, you know, despite the best efforts of Donald Trump or whoever was in office, but never at the invitation, the open, like just, we are not going to deport anybody.
We're telling you we're going to do amnesty.
steve bannon
Working class Hispanics have had a belly full of this.
You watch.
This is the great realignment that comes off of the Great Awakening.
Todd Bensman, thank you very much.
Honored to have you on here, a real warrior.
We've got a lot to get through here.
We've got Dave Ramaswamy.
He's been tracking this debacle.
They have no majority.
We're going to show chapter and verse of how Trump won on November 3rd.
They have no majority, and here they're trying to jam through.
Radical.
I mean totally radical.
We've only got a couple of minutes, Dave.
Walk through your first cut.
You know, Steve, I want to use a phrase and introduce it to your listeners, which is free solo.
dave ramaswamy
You know, free solo is a technique of rock climbing where climbers climb a big wall or a cliff without ropes, harnesses, or protective equipment, right?
So they're relying on their own wits.
So this new bill is what I call is forcing the American people to free solo a big wall of debt.
You know, we already have a $28 trillion deficit.
There's going to add more, you know, $4 trillion more to that.
And I've actually looked at the numbers put out the White House.
And if you remember, we first met when we're talking about supply chain constraints, supply chain shortages coming out of the pandemic.
So this bill out of the $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, it has less than 10% devoted to domestic manufacturing, semiconductor industry and supply chain support, right?
They have $400 billion for in-home health care, you know.
Elder care?
I guess it's a good thing, but I don't know who would call it infrastructure.
And then on the family side, you have more than $400 billion spent on education.
So let me give an analogy, okay?
Two most distorted sectors of the American economy are education and health care, because there's third-party payment.
You know, the American people don't get to see a bill.
So, for example, education.
You have annual tuition at American colleges at $50,000 a year, okay?
People graduate with various victimhood studies degrees and they don't have a job.
And all they're doing is toppling statues, erasing monuments.
You know, you don't need to spend $50,000 to topple monuments.
You know, Taliban would teach you the same On video conference over Zoom for $50.
So you have a huge price distortion.
They're throwing good money over after bad in the education sector.
And even in the home healthcare, or what I call the hospital, hospital industrial complex.
You know, I know, I've known people with COVID who've had side effects.
And after insurance, they've had to fork out 50 to $100,000 out of pocket.
So they started GoFundMe.
So bottom line, this bill is, Yeah.
will force Americans to pay for a $100 sandwich.
You know, most people know sandwiches are $5.
So $95 will be like financed, or 95 to a $90.
So forcing all Americans to pay for a $100 sandwich.
steve bannon
So this is just at the beginning stages of this.
They're going to use this budget gimmick to do a straight party line, but they also included a relief for the debt ceiling.
You made the point.
We have $28 trillion today.
This is going to add another $4 trillion.
If you continue, if you allow this to pass, You're basically going to bury your children in debt that they'll never work out of.
Dave, we've got about a minute.
Give us your summary of that.
What should people do to get up in arms on this and say, no, we're not going to allow this to happen, we're not going to bury future generations in just more money for education that you never know where it's going to be spent, more money for healthcare that's very ill-defined.
What say you, Dave Ramaswamy?
dave ramaswamy
I think people have to contact their local members of Congress, local and state officials.
But beyond that, Steve, I think it's a protective net that the American people have to come together.
I mean, I tell people, hey, start a farm, start growing vegetables.
maintain a garden.
Because what you're seeing, and you've covered this, central China is being buried under a torrential downpour, and some of the largest cities are completely underwater.
So what you're gonna see later this year is supply chain shortages, and you're already seeing it.
Taco Bell is complaining or releasing, there's no hot sauce, there's no cheese, there's no mustard.
So Americans have to stock up.
You know, get your pantry filled.
Six to nine months of supplies if you have room.
Just, you know, buy it now and keep it.
You'll have an easy 20 to 30 percent return.
steve bannon
Okay, Dave.
Thank you very much.
Dave, how do people get you on social media?
How do people track you down?
dave ramaswamy
They can reach me on Gab.
Dave Ramaswamy.
steve bannon
Dave, fantastic.
dave ramaswamy
Steve, can I make a final point?
steve bannon
It's got to be quick or there's a burning daylight.
Yes, sir.
dave ramaswamy
You know, think of somebody with a stage 4 brain tumor.
And, you know, hiring a brain surgeon to operate is expensive.
But imagine someone hires a rectal surgeon to operate on a brain tumor.
A rectal surgeon on a brain tumor.
When they're done, you're going to have a lingering pain in your head and a lingering pain in your rear.
I mean, this is what's going on.
steve bannon
Dave Ramaswamy, thank you very much.
People tracking down on social media.
I appreciate it.
OK, Joe Allen.
We didn't have enough to worry about.
Joe, walk us through this piece.
And I think it's going up on the Federalist.
Is that correct?
It's up on the Federalist?
joe allen
Yes, sir.
It's on the Federalist now.
The title is, Scientists are using brain implants to read patients' minds, and you might be next.
Now, obviously, the subject of the article goes beyond mind-reading brain implants.
It actually deals with a stroke victim who, through an electrode array that was implanted subdurally on his brain, was able to communicate his intended speech on screen.
The patient known as Bravo One had spent nearly two decades being unable to speak, so this is obviously a quasi-miraculous breakthrough.
But what the article is really about is how this isn't just a milestone in healing.
This isn't just a milestone for the medical industry and for doctors.
This is a milestone for a much broader ideology, self-identified by many as transhumanist.
There are many who would not consider themselves transhumanist, but are patently so, such as, say, Klaus Schwab or Parag Khanna of the World Economic Forum.
And what this shows is that it is possible, and people have thought it was possible for a long time, it's just being proved.
What it shows is that it's possible to read the intentions of one's thoughts, in this case through the sensory motor cortex, And to translate that intended thought into digital information.
Now what the article also talks about are all of the other companies that are racing to do this.
This particular experiment was accomplished by a group led by Edward Chang at the University of California, San Francisco.
Probably the most eager transhumanist self Described, I would say, transhumanist who wants to see this applied not just for healing, but for enhancement, is Elon Musk.
And, you know, people had for a long time ridiculed him about his idea of having, you know, Tesla stations everywhere and self-driving Teslas going down the road.
But if you've ever been down the 405 in L.A., you see people reading books or napping as they go down the road all the time.
This is now a public reality.
I don't think that it's necessarily within reason that his prediction that within five to ten years people would be voluntarily adopting brain implants in order to enhance their cognition and to communicate with each other non-verbally, but I do think that it's possible and I think that in general what this represents
is this sort of religious reliance on technology for not only what we need, food, water, protection, shelter, medicine, but more and more so for higher function and really as a religious means of saving human beings from our fallen physical nature.
steve bannon
Joe, hang on, we're out of time.
This is up in the live chat.
Once again, it's on the Federalist.
Give the title of it again, because this was heralded as a huge breakthrough for humanity, but I think you've nailed it that people got to be concerned about this.
What's the name of the article?
What's your social media?
We've got it up in the live chat.
We've got about 30 seconds.
joe allen
Scientists are using brain implants to read patients' minds and you're next at the Federalist.
www.jobot.xyz or any social media jobotxyz.
Thank you very much, sir.
steve bannon
This article is amazing.
We're all over this transhumanism issue.
It is deeply, deeply concerning and it's out of control, okay?
You need to read this piece.
We're gonna have much more to follow.
Joe Allen, thank you very much.
He's now an official contributor to The War Room.
Short commercial break.
We're gonna go to the Ape Army next when we return.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Banham.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
I want you guys, for those who are in this movement, who are just like, wow, I'm actually doing this.
I'm part of something amazing.
Just ignore the naysayers, right?
You're going to have people say it's impossible, right?
But when you take the word impossible and you break it, it's I'm possible.
And there's a reason why you're holding and you're holding for your son, your daughter, your father, your mother.
Your husband, your wife, your family, you are holding you chose to hold, which means that you are built for this.
Everybody else, you can't expect them to be built for this.
Anything's possible.
Anything is absolutely possible.
In fact, you guys are watching a video of a guy who's talking, who once he pulls out his hearing aid, can't even hear himself talk.
Anything's possible, man.
steve bannon
Okay, I want to introduce now Gabe.
He's part of the APE Army, which is this extraordinary group of over 4 million working class and middle class ordinary Americans that have kind of bonded together to get into these stocks of American companies and really take on the hedge funds.
Gabe, the first question I have to ask you is, in all my years on Wall Street, I've never seen one group as vilified more by the business press.
Uh, and by the elites on Wall Street as this, you know, what you call the Ape Armies, which, you know, you say that kiddingly because some of the people, the commentators said these guys are as dumb as apes and you've taken it on as a badge of pride like the deplorables did when they were, um, said that, uh, you know, they're deplorable.
Why is Wall Street continue to say, and why the business press continue to say, that you guys are misogynist, you're racist, and worse, you're market manipulators, everything you guys do is kind of bad, it hurts markets.
Why is it all this ganging up on what are ordinary Americans that are just out there to buy stock in American companies and hold it?
unidentified
You know, I think the simple answer to that is that we have private equity groups and hedge funds who control over 50% of the media.
And so with that control, they're able to control the narrative.
But again, when you are attacking a certain group, you take the light off of yourself and the light off of policy.
See, since 2008 and we had the
Crash in 2008, the real estate bubble burst thanks to basically CDOs and what happened there was that we had cheap money policy and that cheap money policy is what literally has created this asset bubble and has created such a ginormous income inequality and so now we're speaking and we're speaking loudly and
You know, they're saying, wait, hold on, hold one second.
You know, where did you guys come from?
And I really think that this movement, it's really all about equality and it just transcends politics, gender, creed, race.
And you really see the human element in how, you know, we come together and we realize that collectively we have a very strong voice.
And yeah, we're voting with our dollars, which is very, very impressive.
steve bannon
Gabe, this is what I've said for years, that the negative interest rates and the easy credit allowed these asset bubbles in real estate and stocks.
And you had this great concentration of wealth during the Obama administration.
You've had it kind of continue on, and particularly during the COVID situation.
Why is it, when I watch your YouTube, your guy I think has over 200,000 YouTube followers, you keep saying that there's a greater reason you're doing this.
This is for a bigger cause.
So besides just the buying and selling of stocks, right, and I understand you're teaching people techniques and you're teaching them the complexity of the stock market, what is the higher cause that's in back of this ape army?
What is the point that you guys are trying to get at?
unidentified
I guess the point that we're trying to get at is, let's use 2008 as an example.
You had John and Jane Doe, you know, buying a home and, you know, living out the American Dream, per se.
And then you had others who, you know, got packaged into the subprime market and all they were concerned about was owning a home, owning a piece of, you know, the American Dream.
And then that all unraveled itself because of the big banks and the greed and, you know, the elitist.
And, you know, a lot of people were hurt because of that.
And then we see the same thing happen during the COVID pandemic, where people were hurt.
They were losing their jobs.
They were, you know, like, hey, how do I, how do I take care of a family?
You know, I'm, hey, I'm the head of the household, you know, what's, what's happening here?
You know?
I have loved ones that count on me and now I feel powerless.
And I think that now you're seeing 58's that we're taking You know, power in our own hands, you know, we're taking responsibility and I really think that that's what this movement is about, is really just grabbing the bull by the horn and saying, you know, hey, you know, we're here, we want a piece of this and we want to have control of our lives and I feel like a lot of us just feel
I guess shorthanded in a sense, you know, almost forgotten.
And I really think that now we have a place and we have a chair, you know, we have a seat at the table.
steve bannon
Gabe, we've got about a minute left.
The hedge funds are not going to give this power up easily.
How tough is this fight ahead of you, as you're in, I know, AMC, Stock GME, others, for the APE Army, in about a minute?
How tough is this fight when the most powerful forces on Wall Street are not going to relinquish power easily?
unidentified
How tough is the fight ahead for you guys?
You know, the tight?
It's pretty, pretty tough, you know?
It would be naive to say that it's not.
I believe that, you know, the philosophy that we've indoctrinated and, you know, the buy and the hold and just maintaining conviction.
As we hold, it costs us nothing to hold and they're losing money daily.
You know, and so it is a tough fight, but I honestly believe that we will prevail.
steve bannon
Gabe, what is your YouTube channel and your Twitter handle?
How do people track you?
How do people come to watch you on YouTube?
unidentified
Well, you can find me on YouTube and on Twitter, ReviewDork.
Really that simple.
steve bannon
Gabe, great honor to have you on.
Fantastic.
Everybody's very fascinated about this fight.
Look forward to seeing you and having you back on the show in the future.
unidentified
All right.
Thank you.
steve bannon
