unidentified
killed more than 100 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
That 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. Banham.
These numbers cannot continue.
We cannot get to a point where we were a couple weeks ago, and we're going to make sure that doesn't happen.
We're looking at the policy options.
anthony fauci
We can't continue like this.
unidentified
Our people in the field can't continue, and our system isn't built for it.
I know very well, hearing from Chief Hastings, Chief Ortiz, and others, how close we came to breaking, how close you came to breaking here in this sector.
And it's our responsibility to make sure that never happens again.
We don't get that close again.
Wow, stunning revelation.
You're live.
We're in the War Room.
steve bannon
Friday, 13 August, Year of Our Lord 2021.
unidentified
Now with over close to 74 million downloads in the podcast course, we're live everywhere.
I want to thank, I really want to thank our partners Real America's Voice and John Frederick Radio Network for making our time at the Symposium, the Cyber Symposium, incredible.
We're going to have a bunch of analysis on the Cyber Symposium.
steve bannon
In the three November movement, both later today in the broadcast and tomorrow on Saturday on our Saturday special 10 to noon.
But that is the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security admitting what Alejandro Mayorkas admitting.
That there's an invasion on the southern border, it's out of control, and it's because of policies.
unidentified
And this tells you the hypocrisy of what they say.
That was recorded, I think, in a meeting with Border Patrol, and he had the gall to wear the Border Patrol shirt.
Border Patrol guys cannot stand him.
Can't stand him.
steve bannon
They have not had the back of any of these, uh, the brave men and women of the Border Patrol, and ICE, they've essentially shut down.
unidentified
And we now have a, not a crisis, not an emergency, we have an outright invasion in the United States.
steve bannon
210,000 either captured or stopped or touched, however they call it, touches in July.
unidentified
The ratio is usually 2 or 3 to 1, so let's say 2, 3, 400,000 illegal aliens got across.
Remember, we had 76,000 soldiers hit the beaches at Normandy, right?
steve bannon
illegal aliens got across. Remember the third of that we had 76,000 soldiers hit the beaches at Normandy, right? Basically a division has 10 to 15,000 troops and we'll say 10,000 just for simple math. Patton's third army had 230,000 troops went across the Rhine in 1945. You're having You're having something as big as the 3rd Army cross our border every month.
unidentified
You're going to have millions of people here.
steve bannon
And by the way, we're going to get it all sorted right when we take back power.
unidentified
We're going to get this all sorted.
steve bannon
So ICE is going to be, the deportations are going to be huge.
The illegal aliens are not going to stay in this nation.
unidentified
It's not going to happen.
steve bannon
Okay, this is destroying the working class.
And this is why we're going to get 50, 60, 70% of the Hispanic vote this time you watch, particularly in these border communities.
unidentified
They've had a belly for this.
I'm going to go now to the great Oscar.
steve bannon
Ramirez, founder and lead correspondent and editor of the Border Network News.
unidentified
He's back online now, down in Mexico.
steve bannon
Tapachula, which I think is Chiapas, is the chief city down there.
A huge going on today.
Explain what's happening in Mexico.
This is not the border.
This is deep in Mexico.
Tell us what's going on, Oscar, and what you've been recording about this whole situation with migrants in Mexico, coming through Mexico.
oscar blue ramirez
Well, thank you so much, Mr. Bannon.
It is a complete collapse.
Downtown in the city of Tapachula, that is the municipal city that connects to Guatemala, it has been taken over downtown by the migrant population of Haiti.
According to the statistics from the Institute National of Immigration, one-third of the population of the municipal city of Tapachula has been taken over by the migrants of Haiti.
It is just unbelievable what is happening.
They have taken over the businesses in downtown area, the sidewalks, They have taken over the sidewalks and for you to enter a Mexican business, they are telling you first, you've got to buy my business and then you can go in.
Ultimately, this has led to a huge spread of another infections that is syphilis, gonorrhea and AIDS.
Now they are preoccupied.
I was talking to a border agent of Mexico, which is from the Organization of Protection of Infants.
They are drained.
They are depressed.
They are overwhelmed.
They don't know how to control this.
And ultimately they have taken over also apartments, complexes.
There's an apartment complex with 240 apartments where they were abandoned and they were taken over in 2019 by the Mara Salvatruchas.
And now the population of Haiti has overwhelmed the population of the Mara Salvatruchas and they have taken over, as you're seeing in the images right here, this apartment complex.
It is a complete disaster.
It is just, it's just, it's just so bad.
And the Mexican people, are really disappointed on the Mexican government that they're not doing anything to stop this and they're not doing anything about it.
steve bannon
Well, hang on a second, Oscar.
So this is what people don't understand.
You know, Haiti's in the Caribbean, Mexico is Mexico, and you're not in a place that's easily accessible by ports.
How do people from Haiti and other countries, how do they actually get to Chiapas itself?
How do they get there?
Because they're just not wandering in.
There's got to be some organized or systemized process that gets folks there.
So how do these, and I'm not saying there's not massive problems in Haiti.
Haiti's been, I've made a film about the Clinton cash that talked about the tragedy of Haiti and quite frankly how people like the Clintons and the thieves and criminals who run these NGOs for them go down, take the money that the US taxpayer gives to the Haitians and steals it, right?
So Haiti is an ongoing tragedy.
This is not about the Haitians, but how, there's gotta be, somebody's making money on getting them there.
So how do they end up in Chiapas and then end up with working class Mexicans having to bear the brunt of this?
Walk me through how this happens.
oscar blue ramirez
Well, you know, I have asked and I have interviewed multiple migrants from Haiti on how many countries they have traveled to get to Tapachula.
And they said 10 countries, out of the 10 countries, they have sold their land.
A lot of them, they have sold their property, but NGOs, nonprofit organizations, which, you know, they are all over, you know, our country of Mexico and down South in Central America, they're providing aid and abating for this to continue from countries all the way to Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador.
From there, they jumped to Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador.
It is just outstanding, the journey that they are putting themselves into.
All of this, it is because of all these countries that they signed this Globalist Compact of Immigration, and Mexico is just accepting by the thousands.
There's a protest that is occurring right now of Mexican citizens that they are actually, it's a community.
Mr. Bannon, that is basically putting their opinion out there on how they feel.
Out of 600 communities in this municipal city of Tapachula, 165 of them have been affected by this massive, massive migration.
The number that they're managing right now on this municipal city of Tapachula, it is 60,000 migrants that they are awaiting to go to the United States of America.
steve bannon
By the way, and do any of those, in your knowledge, are those 60,000, given your reporting and your knowledge, how many will actually be turned back and sent out of Mexico to someplace other than the United States, or eventually all 60,000 eventually start heading north and get to the U.S.?
oscar blue ramirez
They're all waiting right here in the municipal city of Tapachula.
There's a process that is called the Visa Transit, and before it was giving between 30 to 40 days.
Now it has been extended to 3 to 6 months.
And this has provoked and incentivized the organized crime to make fake documents, the cartel to make fake documents, the smugglers, the coyotes, to come over here and rent private buses and pay out, you know, ultimately the checkpoints where, you know, you got, you know, federal police and all this stuff that is going on.
So it is a lot of corruption in the checkpoints, but there's a lot of population that is staying still here.
And those 60,000, they're all waiting for that visa transit.
To get to the government of Mexico so they can get it and they can move to the north of the United States of America.
steve bannon
Oscar, I gotta ask you, the Mexican president is one of the biggest fire-breathing populists in the world.
He stands for the little guy.
It seems to me that other people, cartels, federales on the take, politicians, businessmen, smugglers, are making money on this and the brunt of it, like here in the United States, is borne by the little guy.
Why is a populist president allowing this to happen?
oscar blue ramirez
Oh, you know, it has to do a lot with the arrangements that he has with the organized crime.
And it is his biggest, but it's big speculation.
He, you know, not too long ago, he was shaking hands with the mother of El Chapo Guzman in the part of the Padre Ayahuasca.
And, you know, right now we're number one for cartel activity in the world.
We got more than 86,000 deaths due to cartel activity.
And this has not stopped.
Every morning conference that they asked the president, This is occurring in the down south border of Tapachula.
This is occurring in Reynosa, in Matamoros, also in Tijuana, and also in Chihuahuares.
The violence, it is increasing.
And he also, you know, he always justifies himself that it's the past governments, that it's because of the past governments that we have this enormous problem, but it's not fixing it.
You know, the National Guard, I talked to one of the National Guard officers today, one border patrol agent today, as we were at the Suchata River that connects to Guatemala.
And he told me this.
We are just exhausted.
We are embarrassed that every time that we have an operation against the organized crime or against the massive influx of migrants that are coming in into the Suchata River around 12 o'clock at night, we only have a shield to protect ourselves.
We cannot carry our guns because it's an order directly by the Mexican government to not hurt the migrants, to give them the humanitarian right to transit into our country of Mexico, and ultimately to not arrest them, to continue their journey.
And this is what it has provoked.
The city of Tapachula, it is collapsing little by little and it's really sad that Mexican citizens are now, you know, taking this as it's a normalization of their lives.
steve bannon
Oscar, how do people get to the border network news?
How do they find out more about you?
How do they follow you during the day on social media?
And your reporting is amazing.
The footage is amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to be ahead of the curve, if you want to know tomorrow's news today, particularly on the invasion of the border, watch Oscar Ramirez, because this footage is incredible.
And it shows you the tragedy of the working class people in Mexico and the migrants.
These people are making so much money off this thing.
It's unbelievable.
That's why it's happening.
How can people find you, sir?
oscar blue ramirez
Thank you so much, sir, for the invitation.
And you can find me at all social media as OscarBlue, and also you can find Border Network News at all platforms.
Thank you so much.
God bless the United States of America, Mr. Banner.
steve bannon
Thank you, Oscar.
Thanks for the reporting.
The world is spinning out of control, and the reason is directly the policies of the Biden regime.
You see that down there?
That's because Joe Biden has just opened the borders.
And let's be brutally frank.
You have his Secretary of Homeland Security sitting there going, oh, this can't continue.
It's unsustainable.
Look at what's in Central America and Mexico is coming here.
It's no doubt.
Because they're making money shipping these folks up here.
Okay?
They're taking advantage of tragedy throughout the world.
Nobody's saying that there's not tragedy throughout the entire world.
But the citizens of the United States, and particularly working class, Hispanics, African Americans, and whites, cannot take that burden on themselves.
And that's what's happening.
This is globalization at its finest.
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon
This is disgusting.
Let's go to, can we play the clip from the UN Secretary General?
Can I get that up?
unidentified
Is that ready to go?
steve bannon
Denver?
unidentified
Let's play that before I bring in Sam Faddis.
I've just returned to New York and would like to speak to you about the grave situation in Afghanistan.
and I'll see you next time.
Even a country that has tragically known generations of conflict, Afghanistan is in the throes of yet another chaotic and desperate chapter, an incredible tragedy for its long-suffering people.
Afghanistan is spinning out of control.
steve bannon
Okay, this is not the War Room.
By the way, it's not the War Room there with the secret recording of the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Finally, he's saying the truth behind closed doors.
It's unsustainable what they've done at the border.
This is the head of the United Nations.
This is not the War Room.
This is not right-wing Trumpanises.
This is not Donald Trump.
This is ahead of the UN.
And what is the quote?
Afghanistan is sliding out of control.
Sliding out of control.
OK, we're going to take a commercial break.
I'll come back.
unidentified
We'll bring Sam Faddis.
steve bannon
Sam Faddis is in the region for many, many years with the CIA, particularly dealing in the tribal areas down with the Pashtuns in Pakistan, where the heart of this fight is.
unidentified
You heard Dave Ramaswamy this morning.
steve bannon
This is another tragedy brought on by Biden.
Yes, the Never Wars have got to end.
Donald Trump had a conditions-based policy to get out, and he wanted to do the Eric Prince policy back in 17, stopped by the generals with the lies from the Pentagon, and they were bald-faced lies.
McMaster, these guys, looked him in the eye.
Mattis, McMasters, lied to his face.
I was there.
It's documented, boys.
Sorry about that.
unidentified
Short break.
steve bannon
Sam Fenton, it's the pipe hitter for the CIA, next.
unidentified
Pandemic with Stephen K Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome back to the War Room.
This is a weekend of human tragedy on a biblical scale.
What's happening on the southern border, the invasion of our nation in the southern border, and now you see the hypocrisy of it.
They know exactly what they're doing.
Oh, it's unsustainable.
He's just buying time with the Border Patrol so he doesn't get booed out of the room and the ICE agents.
They understand exactly what they're doing, okay?
There's no conspiracies, but there's no coincidences.
They know exactly what they're doing.
And what they're doing is exacerbating human tragedy throughout the region.
To now make, we're gonna have Michael Yan, try to get Michael Yan, he's come back from Eastern Europe, he's now down in the Darien Gap.
And what he's telling me there, you can't believe it.
unidentified
He says it's worse than he was down there before.
I remember before it was just human, just cartels taking people right through.
steve bannon
What are they doing?
This is human trafficking.
People are making a lot of money.
They're making a lot of money.
That's what it's about.
This is modern slavery.
This is modern slavery.
Why is the Democratic Party so obsessed with 19th century America?
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon
Let's talk about 21st century.
The 21st century world.
This is what this is.
unidentified
It's slavery.
Slavery.
steve bannon
People are making a lot of money off it.
unidentified
It's a disgrace and disgusting and repulsive.
steve bannon
Let's talk about Afghanistan.
Right?
unidentified
President Trump tried to stop the forever wars.
steve bannon
17 had a huge fight.
unidentified
I was at the tip of the spear of that.
steve bannon
It's his designee to make something happen.
We had this amazing plan by Eric Prince.
And it was in the Wall Street Journal.
unidentified
Wrote a big editorial.
It was on Fox.
steve bannon
People in the apparatus came together.
Particularly, let's call it Mattis and McMasters.
They looked the president in the eye and lied.
I can walk you through it, chapter and verse, the numbers, what they lied about, the troops, Kandahar, and the money, the money, the money, the money, they're bald-faced liars.
unidentified
The National Security Apparatus.
steve bannon
This is on Mattis, and this is on McMaster's, okay?
unidentified
The bald-faced liars.
steve bannon
And then when President Trump still hammered it, hammered it, hammered it, after not taking the policy at first, his was a condition-based withdrawal, right?
unidentified
Ordered, condition-based.
And what they've done here is a disgrace.
steve bannon
It's a dishonor to every patriot that gave their lives there, to every family.
And remember, you can't always think about just sunk costs.
Oh, we've got to stay because people are giving their lives.
You can't make that decision.
unidentified
I understand that.
steve bannon
And that's what the decisions weren't made because of that.
The decisions to have so many people then try to stay under this government over 20 years was a fundamental mistake.
unidentified
There's no doubt about that.
steve bannon
Afghanistan is not a nation.
I've argued that.
It's not a nation.
unidentified
It's not a country.
steve bannon
A bunch of globalists that went to elite universities all know the guys in Paris.
They try to pretend it's a nation.
It's a collection of 50 tribes.
It's a collection of 50 tribes.
Okay?
And Sam Faddis, who we've had on many, many times, the publisher, founder of AND Magazine, and just a man of tremendous wisdom.
His biggest wisdom lately was, said, Steve, don't get all worked up on these subpoenas coming from Pennsylvania, because the establishment in Pennsylvania, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Republican Senate, does not work that way.
unidentified
Okay?
steve bannon
He was right on that one, as we'll talk about when Boris Epstein gets here.
But Sam spent many years as a pipe hitter for the CIA down in the tribal regions, and Ladies and gentlemen, that's one of the most dangerous places on the face of this earth, okay?
Sam Faddis, you've had a long time in that region, about Afghanistan, really, but the Pashtuns.
Give us your assessment of what's going on and how bad is this going to get?
unidentified
What's going on is a disaster is unfolding.
We do not have control of it.
We don't really have any capacity to slow down what the Taliban's doing.
It's going to get a lot worse.
The long-term implications are going to be enormous.
We're going to end up with the Taliban in control of the country, and now armed to the teeth with US weaponry that we left behind.
But before we ever get to that, we got to get through the disaster of just getting our people out of country.
We haven't succeeded in doing that yet.
The Biden administration, in its infinite wisdom, pulled all our troops out, left a whole bunch of people there, and now are sending troops back to rescue our folks, but they haven't managed to get those troops back in country yet either.
You know, the Brits invaded Afghanistan the first time circa 1840.
Out of that entire army, one guy made it back out to what is now Pakistan.
The only reason he made it out is because the Afghans let him live to tell the story.
Anybody who thinks that the Afghans are going to sort of...
You know, blow the whistle, give us a time out and let us know.
steve bannon
Let me just, let me just, they're hopefully diplomatic.
They said yesterday, Jan Psaki says, oh, we're going to get some diplomatic settlement here because they want to be on the world stage.
Headline in the New York Times, U.S.
sends troops to aid evacuation as Taliban surge.
Sub-headline, bracing for Afghan government's fall.
Weren't we guaranteed by Joe Biden that weren't going to happen just a couple of weeks ago?
Yeah, we were guaranteed.
unidentified
We were told there was 300,000 troops.
steve bannon
By the way, it pulled out of, what is it, what's the big base up there?
The air base.
Bagram.
Just Bagram.
We've been there for 20 years.
One of the most important air bases in the world for the United States.
I understand the forever war is going to end.
But there's one way you do it.
You just cut and ran overnight.
Didn't turn it over to the Afghan security forces.
Didn't turn it over to the Afghan military.
The looters come in the next day.
Headline in the Financial Times.
Taliban offensive gathers pace as the United Kingdom sends troops in to evacuate staff.
Now we're in a situation where the U.S.
and our allies have to send troops back in to get their staffs out.
This is how unprepared they are.
Donald Trump, every day, David Ignatius, the Morning Joe crowd, you know, Admiral Stavridis, all these geniuses, right, all morons, all geniuses, right, in quotes.
Talking about how bad Trump is, how Trump doesn't know anything, Trump's not a leader on the world stage, Trump doesn't know anything about NATO.
Afghanistan was not great, but it was not bad on his watch as he looked to wind it down.
Faddis, when we, the Democrats, remember the Democrats, all this thing about the peace and the love for the third world countries and Vietnam, they wanted to stop the bomb and hate.
Let's cut to the chase.
The day the draft ended is the day the big marches ended.
They had three and four, they were worried about their own asses getting shot.
Okay, that's all it was.
The day the draft ended, there were no big five million people marches in Central Park.
That's all crap and everybody's there at the time knows it.
And guess what?
The Democrats, they took over after Watergate, cut and ran the worst thing in American political, geopolitical history is what we allowed to happen in Southeast Asia.
Okay, and I'm not some neocon says we've got to be all over the world, but there were 25 or 30 million people butchered Butchered because of the way we left there, and I'm gonna tell you Sam.
unidentified
I want to hear your thoughts Stand by this thing in Afghanistan is going to metastasize Sam Faddis Yeah, it's gonna blow up if you anybody who thinks oh wow this was a tragedy But let's move on in it to something else doesn't understand this thing is just getting started You're now going to have a situation worse than pre-911.
And this monster is going to spread, and we are going to have to deal with it.
Only we're going to let it get infinitely worse before we do that.
Now, when you think about the men and women who have bled and died, including my own son, who fortunately did not die, but was wounded in Helmand Province, and only by the grace of God lived.
All of those people, and the betrayal of everything they put into this conflict, it is sickening.
steve bannon
This is not about the forever wars.
We understand we've got to get out.
President Trump had a plan to get out.
But it's got to be conditions-based, and you've got to leave an ability to strike at these bad guys and take them down, okay?
Now we're in the worst of the situation.
Wait until they're going to start standing up, these little girls, start shooting them.
You watch.
It's all going to come.
It's all going to come.
Because now they're on the rise, the defeat of the United States.
Let's take it what it is.
Biden is totally and completely incompetent and the people around him have been covering for him.
I want to see the Morning Joe crowd.
David Ignatius, don't be wringing your hands.
You guys spit on the floor about the mention of Trump's name.
Don't be wringing your hands on Monday morning when you come back on air.
And not just that, here's the bigger thing.
The transnational criminal organization in Beijing is looking right there at Taiwan and said, these guys, we got to move.
Because when Trump comes back, it's going to be the new, the Sheriff's going to get back in town.
We've got to move and we've got to move now.
And we have people who are gutless, who have no morals, who won't stand for anything.
What did they say the other day?
Somebody leaked from the White House?
Not my problem.
Not my problem.
Ryan Crocker, another brilliant Bush appointee, says the other day, he's on one of the MSNBC shows, this is all President Trump's fault.
Because he showed disrespect for the government.
That's his fault.
That's his fault.
No, you guys own this and you own all of it.
Every death, every murder, every rape, you're gonna own all of it in front of the world stage.
The world knows that.
You see the UN General, all you globalists, all the party of Davos, this is what you got.
This is what you got in the blood of the deplorable sons and daughters that gave their lives over there.
Every thug on the planet is watching this and is going to make his move.
spit on their graves for what you're doing now, for their sacrifice and their family sacrifice.
This is revolting.
And I've got to tell you, they're looking at Taiwan right now, saying if we can take Taiwan, we can implode the American economy, we can take all the chips, and you don't have – these guys are gutless and they're confused.
Sam Faddis.
unidentified
Every thug on the planet is watching this and is going to make his move.
And the Chinese are at the top of that list.
You have a golden opportunity.
You have an administration which has no backbone and which is largely owned by Beijing.
Why on earth would they miss this opportunity?
I would suspect you will see in the near future, they will impose a blockade on Taiwan, shut it off and start to strangle it and know that we don't have the courage to do anything to push back.
And from that point, there's just a clock ticking.
Hold it.
steve bannon
Hold it.
You think you've got Kamala Harris, Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, that little pencil neck?
And Joe Biden, who doesn't know what he's whining around?
That's your team.
That's your starters.
That's the starting lineup.
Let's throw in General Austin in there, too.
He's got the big shield on.
He's vaccinated.
Come off a plane.
Got two masks and a big shield.
Buffoon.
Okay.
That's your starting team.
You got Austin, Pencil Neck Jake Sullivan.
You got Tony Blinken getting yelled at by the Chinese and taking it, licking their boots.
Of course, I got Kamala Harris, right?
Great job.
She did the border.
And Joe Biden wandering around the lawn of the White House.
That's what you got.
That's what the world sees.
It's gutless.
It's feckless.
Sam, hang on for a second.
I've taken too much of your time.
I gotta get your thinking.
I want to take a short commercial break.
Boris Epstein is going to get into all the election stuff.
If you don't think it's important to get to the bottom of 3 November, how this thing was stolen, it's more important now than ever.
One, it's more important to let Beijing know, hey, we understand what happened here, okay?
Because trust me, Beijing is going to be making big moves on this.
They can't stand up to the cartels and they can't stand up to the Taliban.
Or Al-Qaeda, God bless us.
Back in a moment in the war room.
unidentified
Okay, back in the war room.
Sam Faddis.
the world. We will fight to the 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
Okay, back in the war room, Sam Faddis. We got an implosion in Afghanistan and they have no policymaking apparatus here. They just completely make it up as you go along.
Of course, Joe Biden, Joe Biden's taking a long weekend.
This is when you want a guy that's on top of things, that's in the Situation Room 24-7.
unidentified
Okay?
24-7.
steve bannon
Not wandering back up to Delaware, right?
With the bib, so she can put the bib on and feeding Jill.
At southern border, you heard the report from Mexico of every nation in the world blowing up through here with the cartels making more money.
That's what every bad guy in the world is making more money than ever because of Biden.
How big a national security issue is the invasion on the southern border of San Fatis?
unidentified
Yeah, it's a massive issue, right?
We have no southern border anymore.
So anyone and everything can come into the country.
Fentanyl, terrorists, COVID.
How about something much worse than COVID?
How about any one of the biological agents that the Chinese are working on in addition to things like coronaviruses?
Anything imaginable can walk across that border.
For the love of God, nuclear weapons could walk across that border.
We're not stopping anything.
We are defenseless.
steve bannon
Sam, how do people get to AND Magazine?
It's a must-read.
You're doing an incredible job on your analysis there.
What I love, these are not opinion pieces.
unidentified
These are analytical pieces.
And how are people following you on social media?
AndMagazine.com.
AndMagazine.com, and that'll take you everywhere.
steve bannon
Sam Faddis, CIA, spent time many years in the region, and particularly in Pakistan, Pashtun, the tribal areas.
unidentified
Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you.
steve bannon
Boris, I've got you on here.
We're going to talk about election, the 3 November movement.
We're going to go state by state, but I've got to ask you.
The Taiwanese, I know very closely, they're not feeling good this weekend, okay?
You see another post-Vietnam about to happen in Afghanistan, another implosion there.
And the Israelis are going to be feeling great this weekend, right?
They see a strong ally, a determined ally.
Somebody's going to stand up for their allies in different hotspots and regions of the world.
Israelis feeling great tonight?
boris epshteyn
Absolutely not, Steve.
An honor to be on with you and the MAGA Brain Trust.
It's a very interesting day.
Today's the one-year anniversary of the Abraham Accords, of the announcement of the normalization of relationships, relations between the UAE And Israel, which was then followed by Bahrain, then Sudan, then Morocco.
Four countries signing peace deals with Israel due to the work of President Trump, Jared Kushner, Avi Berkowitz.
Four in a span of a couple months after there have only been two in the prior 72 years.
That's what President Trump did from a position of strength.
Joe Biden, well not actually Joe Biden, because he's wandering around and has no idea where he is.
But Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and all those losers over there, what they're doing is they are destabilizing the world to the worst position I would say since at least the 1930s.
By letting Afghanistan go back to the Taliban and somehow some reporters and some people in the media actually claim to be surprised by this.
Oh Taliban making surprising gains.
Are you kidding me?
Literally my five-year-old could have told you that if you leave an area and there's a well Well-funded, well-armed group, they're going to take that area over, and that's what happened with the Taliban.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
It's not leaving an area.
President Trump, we're the America First.
We're not forever wars.
What they tried to do in Afghanistan, saying the government was a mistake, mission creep, we understand that.
We were going to unwind that.
boris epshteyn
Totally.
steve bannon
Right?
But a conditions-based withdrawal, with still leaving special operators, CIA paramilitary, and other guys that come in at a moment's notice.
And drop the hammer.
This is cut and run.
This is not even an organized retreat.
This is a disgrace.
And now you've got all our allies putting troops back in to evacuate staff.
This is South Vietnam.
Helicopters on the roofs all over again.
Ladies and gentlemen, in the region around Vietnam and Cambodia, Laos, 25 to 30 million people died in those following years.
The Democratic Party, after they took over after Watergate, just cut the whole thing off.
You know why?
The whole thing about the anti-peace movement.
What a peace movement.
I don't want to go over and fight for my country in Vietnam because I disagree with the policy.
Okay, that's what it is.
I want to save my ass.
As soon as the draft stopped, all the protests stopped.
Okay, so don't give me the thing that we want at peace.
It's all nonsense, and they didn't cut and write, and they didn't care about my people.
They love the third world, they love people, they love this, they love that.
They didn't care that 25 or 30 million got butchered.
By the camera rouge and Pol Pot and that whole crowd and then the paybacks coming down from Vietnam.
Ask all the Vietnam citizens that came over here to Southern California.
They got away from it.
How much the Democratic Party cared.
That's the exact same thing you're saying.
I don't want to say we love the world, we're of the world.
Ask the young women in Vietnam, in Afghanistan, they're going to be up against the wall in a couple weeks.
Right in Afghanistan.
Just, just, just, just think about that.
boris epshteyn
Think about it.
steve bannon
If you're Taiwanese, if you're Afghan, if you're, and by the way, I'm not saying we've got to be all over the world, but if you're Israel tonight, if you're Afghan tonight, or in that whole region, or in Taiwan, you're going to be sitting there going, hey, America, they're a great partner.
I like Trump.
I'm not so sure I like what I got after Trump, Morning Joe.
Let's have you spin it on Morning Joe on Monday morning.
I want Ignatius up there, I want Amherst, Stavridis, I want all the big thinkers.
All the big thinkers.
None of them have really had a job, right?
Except Stavridis, who did run his shipper ground when he was a junior officer.
boris epshteyn
Let's have David Brooks up there.
I'll take you back to one of the key moments of the early Trump presidency when you and I were both at the White House when the Moab was dropped on Afghanistan.
Okay?
The Moab gets dropped on Afghanistan and then sure negotiations could take place from a position of strength and yes, measured withdrawal with absolute ability to get back in at a moment's notice.
Here we have an abandoned Absolute abandonment.
And there's going to be people, and likely some of those audiences are going to say, well, what do we care about Afghanistan?
What do we care about Taiwan?
And what do we care about Israel?
I disagree with those people.
But even if you are one of them, remember this.
Afghanistan is where 9-11 was planned to a T.
And now we're turning Afghanistan back to the same people who controlled it when 9-11 was planned.
You may not care about those people, but Taliban and the other bad actors, and of course the CCP, they're coming after us because we are still the hegemon.
We're still the hegemon.
You may not care about them, but they care about you.
steve bannon
By the way, you like having a refrigerator?
You like having these modern pickup trucks?
You like having a modern economy?
You better care about Taiwan.
Forget about the moral things and liberty and defense of freedom and allies.
Forget all that.
Throw that aside.
You better be thinking that's Silicon Valley West.
We try to have a plan to pull that back.
Didn't happen.
Gonna take too long.
Right now, Beijing, they're looking right there saying, oh my God, look what these guys did.
It's not just, it's total confusion.
The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
Jen Psaki's up there saying, yeah, we really want a diplomatic solution because the Taliban has to understand how they're going to do it on the world stage.
They're going to be recognized by the Chinese Communist Party because Mao says all power comes from the barrel of a gun.
Okay, they dig what the Taliban's doing.
They've seen that before.
That's like the French Revolution.
They get it.
That's like they took over.
They get it.
They don't need diplomatic niceties.
Remember in this show a couple weeks ago, we talked to you about they sent the Biden administration official for East Asia over there.
She's in the room.
She's getting lectured.
We're the rising nation.
You're going to do this.
You're going to do this.
You're a tributary state.
And she held her ground.
I was pretty impressed.
But they're in her grill.
The Chinese.
Next day, Taliban's there sitting in the same seat.
They put them in the same chair to mock and ridicule the United States.
What did Joe Biden do?
Nothing.
What did Tony Blinken do?
Nothing.
What did Jake Sullivan do?
Nothing.
You got that little pencil-necked Jake Sullivan flying down to tell Bolsonaro, don't mess with the machines.
Don't get into the machines when you're running against Lula, another transnational Marxist criminal.
You got Jake Sullivan going down there sticking his nose in an election.
That's what he's doing?
This is what you got?
Hey, Jake, why don't you get back up to Washington and start focusing on your job?
Not sticking your nose in Bolsonaro's business.
Thank God he's still an ally because he knows Trump's coming back big.
Okay?
If you don't think this country and the world needs Donald Trump, I got more news for you.
Keep watching.
Keep watching and look how they try to spin it.
Look how they try to spin it every way.
The Taliban is going to be back and look at what they're going to do.
And like I said, we're not the forever war guys.
Right?
We're not the forever war guys.
You should have gotten out of here in a conditions-based withdrawal to still keep order.
boris epshteyn
I'll tell you as a cops guy real quick, as a cops guy, the White House has messed us up so bad.
You've got Politico calling this Biden's Vietnam moment.
Politico.
That's not, you know, that's not the Free Beacon or the Daily Caller.
Politico, Axios, Jonathan Swan is tweeting away, this is a disaster for Biden, on top of the border disaster, economic disaster, on top of the COVID disaster, the mask... And we're sitting here and 19 Republican senators are giving this guy a life-threatening...
steve bannon
Disgusting.
All of them.
President Trump today on a poll was that Crapo's endorsement pull it and then make a condition that any senator that he backs has got to say, I will not vote for Mitch McConnell's leader as a condition precedent to an endorsement.
They're sitting there saving.
And by the way, the financial aspect is going to bury you almost as much as the open border.
This is why 3 November is more important than ever.
Let's go to what's happening.
People are now saying, hey, I want to start seeing some receipts.
Talk to me about Pennsylvania and Jay Corman and why Jay Corman and these people will not back Mastriana.
Where are the subpoenas?
Are they going to have Shapiro?
I got to tell you, if Shapiro is going to back you down, I'll give him a hat tip.
If he's going to back you down, he's going to be governor.
Note to people in Pennsylvania, if he backs you down now, he's going to be governor.
And also, we're going to have a difficult time winning on national elections, because 20% of the deplorables are not going to come out, except Corman to run you out of office.
So, what's happening in Pennsylvania?
boris epshteyn
Alright, listen, here's the bottom line, and I know it's Shabbos, and tomorrow's actually my birthday, so I should be nice and happy here, but that is all BS nonsense.
Here's the bottom line.
Jake Corman.
Jake Corman.
The Pennsylvania State Senate President has been giving us the runaround.
He sent a letter in early January calling for an audit, but now doesn't want to actually call for an audit, doesn't actually want to back an audit, does not want to issue subpoenas.
That is absolute nonsense.
So to the MAGA posse, to the MAGA brain trust in Pennsylvania and all over the country, do not forget, always color within the lines.
But do not forget how you had your voices be heard in early January, and that's why Corman sent that letter asking for an audit.
Get your voices heard on Jake Corman, on Kim Ward, the State Senate Majority Leader, and on Larry Tabus, the Pennsylvania GOP Chairman.
Tabus, Ward, Corman, but most of all Corman.
Jake Corman, and he's been reaching out to all of us, saying, oh, can we just calm this down?
Can we stop?
Give me a couple of weeks.
That's crap.
No more weeks.
No more days.
If you want to be in politics, Jay Cormier, you're up with 2022.
We know it.
You know it.
You are done in politics if you do not issue those subpoenas for a full audit in Philadelphia, Tioga, and your counties.
Stop messing around.
steve bannon
By the way, all the guys running for governor too.
Lou Barletta, love Lou Barletta, McSwain, the U.S.
Attorney, all of you.
This is the issue.
I don't want to hear all of these.
This is the issue.
Because here's very simple.
Look at Le Pen and France.
20% of your base is never going to come out and vote for you again.
They're going to say these things are rigged.
You screwed it up.
You wouldn't get to the bottom of it.
I don't want to hear about the new laws you're going to do.
I don't have the new enforcement.
I don't hear socialism versus capitalism.
I don't hear any more RNC spin.
I don't want to hear it.
I want to get to the bottom of what happened.
boris epshteyn
Why not?
What are you hiding?
What are you hiding?
If you don't think there was fraud, fine.
That's your belief.
You're wrong, but that's your belief.
Call for an audit.
Philadelphia, Tiogo, your counties spat in the face of State Senator Doug Mastriano and did not honor those letters.
And those were official requests from the Chair of the Intergovernmental Operations Committee of the Philadelphia State Senate.
So, Corman, Kim Ward, Tabus, the Chair of the GOP, what are you hiding from?
steve bannon
Pathetic.
unidentified
Pathetic.
boris epshteyn
Issue the subpoenas.
steve bannon
Pathetic.
boris epshteyn
No more time.
No more time to waste.
No more couple of weeks.
No more meetings.
Subpoenas.
unidentified
Philadelphia, Tioga, York counties.
steve bannon
Like Philadelphia.
Nothing went on there.
Certainly nothing we want to... They're afraid of the media.
By the way, Shapiro... Putting a pizza box in the window.
Hey, Bannon's right on one thing.
I'm standing tall.
Hey, if Shapiro backs you down, so be it.
Short commercial break.
Back with Boris in a moment.
unidentified

Programming note, Eric Prince has kicked off the show today that I worked with in 2017 on working with President Trump on getting a real plan, a plan that could be executed upon to get American troops out but keep safety and security there.
Eric Prince is going to be the lead-off batter on Tucker Carlson Night, led our show this morning.
Eric Prince is going to be on Tucker tonight to go into more depth, so make sure please watch Tucker Carlson Night, 8 p.m.
I want to go back to Boris.
Boris, I got to tell you, you're not worked up enough about Pennsylvania this night.
So, Jake Corman did the right thing right before January 6th.
He sent one of the letters saying, hey, you got to revert it back to us.
I think there's been some problems here with the certification process.
He didn't say, I'm flipping these to Trump.
He didn't say, I'm decertifying Biden.
He says, there's been some issues and we, the Senate, By the Constitution, have the responsibility and obligation to do it.
Please send it back to us so we can review it.
Hey, Jake, it's December 2021.
Mastriana is all over this.
We understand it's not going to be easy.
It's not going to be pleasant.
The Philadelphia media is going to be all over you.
You're going to be called a racist, a nativist, all that.
I'm sorry, Jake.
That's the problem.
You're supposed to be a leader.
Not some political hack.
You're not a political hack.
You're a leader.
You've stood up and shown leadership before.
Now it's time to stand up and show leadership.
And understand, it's not going to be easy.
Shapiro and those guys are going to be all over you.
That's the price you pay for being the President of the Pennsylvania Senate and the Commonwealth.
You've got to step up to the plate.
You were a leader and a patriot and a hero before.
It's now time to step up real quickly.
We're going to get into more detail tomorrow morning on the show.
Arizona and Georgia.
Give me Arizona, the latest.
People are like sitting there, they're patient, and I'm not saying their patience is running thin, but where's my interim report?
boris epshteyn
So first of all, Steve, you said it exactly right on Pennsylvania.
We always give credit where credit is due.
Jay Corman has been a leader before, but on this, in the last two, almost now two weeks, since the deadline to honor those letters from Mastriano ran out, We have not seen any action.
If this week is over, there's no action.
steve bannon
By the way, just again, he was a leader on this exact same topic that we're just having to be nine months later.
Because patriots are grinding away.
They're not going to back off.
Just be practical.
Even if you don't like it, you've got to hold your nose.
20% of your base is not coming out.
They don't want to hear elections about the future.
They don't want to hear socialism versus capitalism.
They don't want to hear, oh, just look, we'll get them again in 2022.
That is not how the physics of this works.
The physics works that they'll all come out if you get to the bottom of November 3rd.
And they're not even saying, they're not saying you've got to flip it to Trump.
We just want to get to the bottom and find out what the truth is.
And the truth goes right through Philadelphia.
And that's why Shapiro, who's a smart and tough guy, understands.
He's going to stand his ground right now.
Because you get into the receipts in Philadelphia, right?
It all explodes.
Very simple.
And that's what these subpoenas are about.
This is not complicated.
This is not brain surgery.
Jake, you stood up before on the exact same topic.
You gotta step on this.
Let's go to Arizona.
boris epshteyn
Here's the simplest math and I'll go to Arizona.
For Jake Corman, for Kim Ward, for Lawrence Tabus, for Chris Dutch, another senator on the committee, for Doug Mastriano, for all of you who are standing in front of these subpoenas, who are not allowing them to happen, You have a political career now.
If you wanted to continue, issue the subpoenas.
It is literally as simple as 2 plus 2 equals 4.
It's as simple as that.
That's Pennsylvania.
steve bannon
Hold on, hold on.
MAGA has a long memory.
MAGA has a long memory.
Keep going, sir.
boris epshteyn
Absolutely.
In Arizona, from what I understand, they are now on to writing their full and final report.
And in there, you're going to have, again, from what I understand, you're going to see references to the type of swings.
Of an amount of votes that is times the magnitude of the difference between President Trump and Joe Biden that was certified for Arizona, and that is just Maricopa.
That is just Maricopa County.
There's also going to be evidence of other immense wrongdoing.
Immense wrongdoing, again, from what I understand.
We're talking about ballots that are not legitimate.
We're talking about wiping of logs.
We're talking about a complete disaster of an election run by Maricopa County.
So Katie Hobbs, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs of Arizona, who wants to be governor, you are looking at a nuclear earthquake in your backyard.
steve bannon
And from what I understand, that report By the way, there was a massive Arizona delegation in Sioux Falls at the cyber conference, and the phrase I kept hearing is criminal referrals.
Criminal referrals.
Brnovich will start to be a big player in this.
Tell me about Georgia.
boris epshteyn
The A.G.
Brnovich, we're hearing he's ready to move, and he's been updated with some of this information.
More will be passed on to him as well, and it'll be specific, again, from what I understand, Specific recommendations, specific criminal referrals.
That is Arizona.
In Georgia, as we've spoken about a few days ago, there was an issue with service actually by the side pushing for the audits.
That issue has been resolved.
It is now with the court again on the vital lawsuit to uncover unsealed 140,000 absentee ballots in Fulton County alone.
Fulton County Is where Atlanta, Georgia is.
And just like Philadelphia, if anybody believes, especially after everything we've seen from the suitcases, from the closing down and then counting of the election ballot places, if anybody believes that everything was up and up in Atlanta and that's why they're fighting so hard to prevent an audit, I've got eight bridges in New York to sell you right now.
Atlanta's a mess.
Philadelphia's a mess.
And Maricopa County was supposed to be the best of them all, and that's a disaster.
unidentified
Disaster.
steve bannon
Okay, we've got to bolt up.
Boris, you know, the one-year anniversary of the Abraham Accords.
If it had been Obama, they'd give me four more Nobel Prizes.
President Trump did it and won this one-year anniversary.
President Trump was working hard to bring peace to the Middle East, which is not a tough area.
It is a very tough area to do that.
Okay?
Joe Biden is essentially turning over weapons to the Taliban to say, go back to work, guys.
That's what I hate to be so rudely frank about it.
Boris, real quickly, how do people follow you on social media?
boris epshteyn
I've got an op-ed out on this today at Newsweek where I'm a columnist on the one-year anniversary of the Abraham Accords, the great credit that goes to President Trump and his team.
I'm coming in hot on Getter at Boris EP, on Twitter at Boris EP, and of course hot on the Gram, Boris underscore EPSHTEYN, Boris underscore Epstein.
God bless, stay strong, and good Shabbos.
steve bannon
Thank you very much, Boris.
Honored to have you on here.
Okay, tomorrow morning we're going to be Cybersymposium.
We're going to be doing, get to the bottom of the 3 November movement.
We're going to have Afghanistan and a couple of three surprises.
Export Selection
