The US has now 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
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, and the worst happens... War Room.
unidentified
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
When the mothers of America, many of whom hate the name Donald Trump, many of whom voted against Donald Trump, many of whom are progressives, and they and their husbands got vaccinated, when they get back to school in basically mid-August, and according to Fauci, to get to herd immunity, we have to vaccinate the school children, okay, not just the adolescents, but the kids from babies to 10 or 11, when those vaccines are going to be put forward, and people know if your kids aren't vaccinated, they're going to be put over here in this corner,
This is going to be a firestorm and that ties back to this whole system of the scientific kind of precast that kind of does this without anybody questioning.
unidentified
A couple of weeks ago, Steve Bannon joined me on the Timcast IRL podcast.
He said, come August 15th, all hell will break loose once mothers find out what these schools are doing to their children.
tim pool
Not just what they're teaching, like critical race applied principles, but also the masks, the separation, the weird social anxiety.
unidentified
Steve Bannon was correct.
Now, to the extent at which all hell does break loose, I honestly don't know.
But we are starting to see some raucous behavior.
We have this story from the Daily Mail.
steve bannon
You're in the War Room.
It's Saturday, 14 August, Year of Our Lord 2021.
Five years ago today is my first full day.
Met President Trump out at Bedminster, then Candidate Trump out at Bedminster, and we went to work.
Rudy Giuliani was out there.
Roger Ailes was out there.
We went to work on turning around the campaign.
More about that later.
My staff tells me the first clip was June 22nd.
This is why you watch the show.
We're here to give you the signal, not the noise.
Or as Wellington taught his young officers in the Peninsula Campaign, what is on the other side of the hill?
You can get the noise everywhere.
But you can't get the signal.
We told people over and over and over again, by mid-August, the critical race theory and the masks.
You saw the mothers and then the fathers coming to these school boards.
But you could tell what Fauci was talking about.
Fauci not was signaling.
He was giving, you know, the buried leads in these stories was about what was going to happen with what they wanted to do with the kids on the vaccinations.
And I kept saying, you haven't made the case yet.
We're not anti-vaxxers.
We get people on here like Dr. Malone who's dedicated his life to vaccinations.
Atlantic Magazine.
We're gonna have Dr. Malone on early next week to go through the Atlantic hit piece on him off of our special with him last week or two weeks ago.
But yeah, there's a firestorm coming, and it's coming this week, okay, throughout the country.
Whether it's masks, whether it's vaccinations, it's about school going back from Texas to Florida.
Right now, overnight, they're working non-stop.
Guys are going to court, and it's going to be a fracas.
At the same time, we have a global collapse of, you know, the American system, the system put up by the globalists.
And Joe Biden's up.
He's up wandering around Delaware today until Wednesday in the Situation Room.
Trust me, they're working non-stop.
And we're going to have Jack Posobiec, a Naval Intelligence Officer, up with us momentarily.
We're going to have Peter Navarro, who did a great hit on Newsmax last night.
Peter was in the Situation Room with me many times about the lies and misrepresentations of the... It's not the Deep State.
It's up in your face.
Don't call it the Deep State.
It's in your grill state.
Okay, but the incompetence, number one.
Lies, number two.
Okay?
Then we're going to have Eric Prince.
Eric has been on the show many times talking about his plan in 17 that was trying to help Shepard do with then-President Trump, which is what President Trump wanted to do.
And Eric came on yesterday morning, talked to us about it again, what's in Afghanistan, and then went on Tucker last night, tremendous hit on Tucker, and is now back on here tomorrow.
So we've got that.
We've got Bensman on the border.
You have an invasion on our southern border, a collapse of American, it's not American prestige.
It is how we get things done.
In Afghanistan, it is a disaster.
It's going to exacerbate the Chinese Communist Party looking at taking over Taiwan, South China Sea.
And plus, I'm telling you right now, because I was in the Persian Gulf and North Arabian Sea during the hostage crisis we had in Tehran back in the late 70s as a young naval officer.
We were pulled out of the South China Sea and sent to the North Arabian Sea, sent to the Persian Gulf because of that situation.
They're going to be taking some hostages here.
You watch.
The lies and misrepresentation.
We're going to go exactly last night to General McCaffrey.
These bogus clowns that are generals and admirals and they all get rid of all of them because we're going to show you the lies and incompetence of a guy like McCaffrey that sits there and looks you right in the eye.
We're going to get to all that with Navarro Pasovic and Eric Prince.
Todd Bensman is also going to tell us about the collapse and we may try to get our team out in Sturgis if we can fit it in.
I got to start with Liz Yor.
Liz, under time pressure today, to give you signal not noise, ladies and gentlemen, there's a stunning, stunning piece this week off a study that nobody else talked about.
And when I saw it, I said, oh my God, this is the most important thing I've seen.
I don't understand it, but I got to start.
We start, we're reaching out to people that are getting there.
And I reached to the great Liz Yor, who is obviously an expert in this space and really took the first crack at Liz.
This is a story about Correct me if I'm wrong, and by the way, we're going to get to Afghanistan and all the breaking news here momentarily, but the mask, all this.
The babies are being born during the COVID, the CCP virus crisis, the COVID crisis.
Is it a 20% drop in their IQs?
Is this what the study says, Liz Schor?
Because if this is, it's like, what is going on here?
What is causing this?
And somebody's got, is it a 20% drop, they're saying, in babies' IQs?
I think it's the United States in COVID.
Explain to us this article.
Let's put the piece up.
I want everybody to put it in the live chat.
Put this on your list of things to do when you're praying tomorrow.
This is another one to put in there.
We've got to figure this out.
Liz, you're up.
Tell me what's happening.
liz yore
Sure, Steve.
This is really a wake-up alarm for families and educators.
It's a study out of Brown University Where they studied almost 680 kids from Rhode Island, all white children, and they tested them before COVID and after COVID.
And what they tested is their verbal, their nonverbal, and their early learning skills to assess their development.
And what they found, you know, frankly, not surprisingly, Is that the composite IQ of these children dropped from 100 to 79.
And shocking as it is, the environmental changes have been associated with COVID, and those are significantly affecting infant and child development.
The researchers found far worse cognitive, verbal, and motor skills in children born into the COVID coronavirus pandemic than previously.
And as a result, the drop-off is even worse in boys, and even worse in children from poorer backgrounds.
And so children born during the pandemic are significantly reduced intellectually, and this mean IQ, again, has dropped from 100 to 79.
steve bannon
Look, this is what the pandemic... Hang on one second, hang on, stop, stop.
I gotta ask you a question before we go on.
What is developmentally challenged or whatever term of art they use today?
Because 100 is a number for a reason.
That's kind of the average.
That's the average IQ, right?
Half or above and you got then the geniuses up in the 140s, 50s and beyond.
The Einsteins of the 180s.
I think that's the math, right?
Because it's like a geometric or logarithmic progression.
But what is...
Traditionally, is developmentally challenged 60, 65, 70?
There's some number down there where you understand people have to be helped or have to go into special programs.
What number is that?
liz yore
Well, you know, anything under, when you see IQ dropping as dramatically as we have seen in like the two years, this is a wake up call, a danger call.
In the 60s, and 70s, that means that children really need intervention from the system.
And the experts are finding, number one, the cause, according to this study, according to the study, the cause is isolation.
Parents are far more stressed and frazzled.
The interaction between the children and the adults has dramatically been reduced.
Now, we see this on social media.
We see that grandparents haven't seen their newborn grandchildren.
Everybody is isolated and these children, these infants, these newborns, are not interacting with adults.
They read cues from faces.
They read cues from grandparents and families and friends, singing to them, talking to them, playing with them, tickling with them.
That has all been dramatically reduced.
And additionally, additionally this study, and this is for the moms and dads that are fighting vigorously at the school board meetings, that mask wearing adults have also impacted the child's development because the children are not learning from facial cues.
Now, look, when you're covering, this is obvious, when you're covering three quarters of a face with a burka, Both the child's face as well as the adult face, the adult who's supposed to teach the child, of course you're going to have significantly reduced verbal motor and cognitive performance by children.
You know, this is this isolation is bad for babies.
Isolation is bad for children.
We know the lockdowns don't work.
We know the masks don't work.
And now we know that the children are suffering.
And, you know, frankly, this is this is information that is critically important that we need to move on immediately.
And this is, I think, information and research that needs to be brought to the school boards.
And brought to the parents' councils.
Babies are not learning.
Children are not learning.
And you know, I think this, you know, we've talked about transhumanism, Steve.
I think this is yet another tool in their arsenal to be able to dumb down the next generation, to dumb down the intellectual development of children so that they become serfs.
And so as a result, this study is absolutely critical.
steve bannon
Yeah.
That's why, before we jump, you know, maybe those conclusions, because we're trans, the guys on watch in this transhumanism.
I got to get back to this.
Why do they not have an emergency?
This is a national security issue.
Why is this not?
Why is Biden?
You know, we're going to talk about Afghanistan.
A 21% drop.
This is Brown University.
This is not the war room.
This is Brown University, the pinnacle of the progressive left.
Everybody in Hollywood that's the most screwed up, they all went to Brown.
A 21% drop in analysis of these young babies and children, the 21% drop, what are we talking First of all, there ought to be a hundred different studies that go double-check this.
And they ought to look at every variable.
Do you understand monumentally the impact?
You talk about looking over the other side of the hill.
Do you understand the change here?
This is not like 2%.
This is not like 1%.
A 21% drop?
There's only 1% a 21% drop Because and by the way, you can't it's like the it's like Lydia friend in in in La in in Watts. She said you can't make up the years of these kids missing school You can never make up the babies in those first couple years.
What they learn from just looking at the faces and playing with the parents.
You can't make that up, ever.
You never make it up.
And now we have Brown University saying there's a 21% drop in IQ of babies?
Are you kidding me?
Biden, why don't you come back from Delaware and let's get the top 100 smartest people in the country and get them in a room in the White House and let's get to work on what in the hell is happening here.
liz yore
I'll tell you what in the hell is happening.
The parents of America know this.
They don't have to have a study to tell them this, Steve.
That is why they are in a revolution in the parents' councils, in the student schools.
They are furious.
They know this.
They see this in their children.
And guess what?
The mothers of America, the progressive mothers of America, I hate to tell the liberals this and the Democrats this, but they are done with the Democratic Party.
They will never forget what the Democratic Party did to their children and to their families.
This is game over.
They have become the voters and the Republican Party forever.
They will not forget.
steve bannon
Liz, hang on for one second.
We're going to hold over and bring in Jack Basso.
Liz has got to bounce, but I've got to just finish with her.
We're on fire already.
You know why?
You're in the War Room.
Be back in a moment.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, go to MyPillow.com, promo code WARROOM.
You've got sales all over the place, particularly towels, $109 now, $39.99.
You've got sales on toppers, you've got sales on sheets, all of it.
Support the freedom fighters at MyPillow, War Room, and of course, the armor-piercing shell that is Mike Lindell.
We're going to have more about the symposium and the voter fraud situation on Monday.
Go through in great depth all of this.
I wanted to, by the way, developmentally challenged, I think it's 67, the official government number.
This is unprecedented in American history, ladies and gentlemen.
This is signal, not noise.
Something is amiss here.
Liz, we've got to let you guys know you've got some of the Lord's work to do today.
Corporal works of mercy, because Liz is one of the best people in this country.
She's a fighter, she's a patriot, she's tough as boot leather, smart as all get up.
I want to put up the thing, though, because I'm going to ask Pasova about this when I bring him in.
Sydney, Australia.
CNN, not War Room.
CNN reporting they're calling out more troops.
They're calling out more troops in Sydney to make sure the lockdown is 100%.
As we haven't learned enough lessons about lockdowns, how they work.
Liz, your observations on this before you punch out.
We're gonna get you back early in the week.
I know you gotta go to a funeral.
Tell us about where we stand right now, ma'am.
liz yore
Well Steve, I've been talking with parents all over the country.
We know masks and lockdowns are child abuse.
They're really, now we have the evidence, they're impacting our children.
But you know what?
The parents have known all along.
They're fighting with every ounce that they have.
They're these, you know, blue state dictators that are trying to destroy their families.
Word of encouragement to families are dig in, keep fighting.
Don't let the government, who does not care about your children, to ruin their life, their childhood.
Keep fighting.
This mask mandate is the hill that they're going to die on.
These parents are not going to give up.
And I would just really encourage them to keep up the battle.
Lockdowns and masks Are really what we're now seeing from the evidence are hurting our next generation.
And it's time to take a stand.
Everybody's got to be in this.
Parents and grandparents.
steve bannon
OK, we're going to have all mothers.
By the way, let's put up the graphic that was on NBC last night about who are the biggest problems in the country.
Right.
You got that chart.
Can Denver put that up?
Because Liz, yours at the top of that chart.
So last night on MSNBC, they were doing a whole thing.
And the problem is obviously the three November movement.
The problem's obviously Mike Lindell.
The problem's obviously that, but they got a new one.
Normally the insurrectionists normally top the list.
The insurrectionists are the top of the list, but they do watch the war room maniacally.
So they understand now there's actually a problem higher than the insurrectionists.
Do we have that up?
Can we put it up on thing?
Okay, let's do that.
There's a chart in the number one problem in the country.
This is according to DHS.
That makes that that the Secretary's down there telling the guys the Border Patrol that yes, this is out of control.
It's not sustainable.
This is an invasion and we got to do something and we're going to do something course in the media to say nothing's going on here.
No problem, right?
They're saying the big problem in the country.
Okay, guys, I want to have it up now, not like in 30 minutes.
That's what we say, get it ready in the pre-production meeting.
Okay, can we get it up?
They said the biggest problem we've got is the COVID deniers, right?
Or the COVID situation.
So it's the leisures and those that are the problems, right?
And so now, because they've been listening to us, mid-August, and we said it, hey, school's going to come back, and these things are going to be, oh, there it is right there.
Right there.
Biggest problem we got is the moms of America.
Now it's not the insurrectionists, right?
And not even the anti-vaxxers.
It's the vaccine-hesitant and Naomi Wolf crowd, right?
A lot of those, as you said before, are progressives and liberals who now are going to say, hey, I don't know what's going on.
So you're the number one.
I want you to embrace this.
And put it in the live chat.
The number one thing in the country, DHS is the number one problem.
By the way, terrorism is down, terrorism is down third.
First is COVID deniers, COVID, you know, COVID problem people.
And then next is the insurrectionists or people that are questioning the 2020 election.
You're the two biggest problems in the nation.
As you have an invasion of the southern border, a complete collapse in Afghanistan.
We're going to get to that, but all the lies and misrepresentation led there.
Liz George, your closing thoughts, observations, before you punch out, ma'am.
liz yore
My closing observation is Mama Bears of America, unite.
Families, unite.
We have got to dig in and stop this madness.
We can't afford to have an Australia on our hands.
It's not that we are COVID deniers.
The solutions coming up from Tony Fauci, who, by the way, the mama bears all laugh at because they understand, you know, one day he has one solution, the next day it's another.
Lockdowns and masks do not work.
And so we cannot put this burden on our children and on our babies.
And it's time.
We're all going to have to get in this fight.
This is a matter of freedom.
Not only for ourselves, but for the next generation.
So, link arms and speak truth to power.
And not to be intimidated by the unions and the governor, Democratic governor overlords.
steve bannon
Thank you, ma'am.
How did it get to you on social media?
You've got to follow Elizabeth York 24-7.
How did it get to you?
liz yore
I'm everywhere as Elizabeth York and my website is yourchildren.com.
steve bannon
Thank you very much.
I want to bring in now Jack Posobiec.
World's headlines from the Financial Times.
The tip sheet for the party of Davos.
Taliban surrounds Kabul and seizes Afghan's second city.
Okay, that is the Financial Times of London.
The New York Times with an amazing photo here.
New York Times on the Pakistan-Afghan border.
People running for daylight.
Headline, over 15 cities slip out of the grasp of Afghan forces.
What you were told for years and years and years and put in, they say 88 billion dollars, that's a lie, much more.
Significantly north of 100 billion dollars, the Afghan security forces.
Over 15 cities slip out of the grasp of Afghan forces and of course the Wall Street Journal, Taliban press swift advance as US mobilizes to evacuate.
All you veterans, all you guys, 82nd Airborne, yep, we got this thing so under control we're going to tee up a brigade of the 82nd Airborne and send them back in to try to hold Kabul Airport, right?
This is the situation we're in.
No, I'm not a neocon.
We're going to have Eric Prince on here.
We had a plan of how to get out in 17.
The generals blocked it.
The Pentagon blocked it.
The defense industry blocked it.
The globalists, David Ignatius, all the geniuses of Morning Joe, can't wait to see Morning Joe on Monday.
How the Stavridas and Ignatius and all these geniuses, you know, they're a project.
They're a 20 year project.
Of trying to make Afghanistan a democracy.
That 20-year project.
How's that working out for you?
Mm-hmm.
How's the, uh, that government?
People have, it has tremendous popular support.
The security force the American people put in significantly over a hundred billion dollars into.
Yep, that held out well.
Yep.
Yep.
In fact, I want to bring in Jack Posobiec now.
Jack, what do you, first off, Jack, you've got a newborn baby.
This, this shocking stat that is a 21% drop in IQ.
of babies in their developmental years.
How does that... I know the Posobiec family is not hit by that, right?
Because you guys are on point on this thing.
How shocking is that?
How shocking is that number?
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, that number just shows us how important it is to get to the bottom of the China virus, find out its origins and find out everything we can about this.
You know, we've got a little eight month old who's just started crawling.
He's actually quite ahead of pretty much all of his metrics in terms of cognitive ability, his size, what he's able to do.
He's already starting to vocalize.
And so we're definitely going to be keeping a look on that.
But it really when you talk about things at scale, you have to wonder what was really going on.
Where did this virus come from?
Why is it that China won't let us tell, find out what was going on in that lab?
They're shutting down even the new WHO investigation.
And this is what the American people deserve is answers on this the same way we deserve answers on why spent 20 years in Afghanistan, trillions of dollars, how many American lives, how much treasure and we're sold with this.
We're left with this.
We are hurdling now in Afghanistan to a It can't be!
steve bannon
It can't be You're an intelligence officer.
Brennan and all you clowns on MSNBC.
This is what I've been saying for you.
The intelligence community is wrong about everything.
Not some things.
They're not just wrong, they're dead wrong.
They briefed Biden.
They told him this thing can hold.
The Afghan security forces are good.
All the hundreds of billions of dollars we poured into there, it's all good.
Jack Posobiec, you get two years for a good break.
jack posobiec
Go back to those negotiations that Pompeo was having, remember.
May 1st was the original date that was set by the Trump administration, brokered by Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State.
That was the drawdown date that we had negotiated with the Taliban.
The intel community goes to Biden and they say, let's put it off, let's put it off, let's do September.
So Biden says, announces publicly, Go back to April.
He announces publicly that we are going to break our deal with the Taliban, break the negotiations that were done in good faith, at least on our part, and we are going to push forward all the way through September.
And he announced it publicly.
He told them what we were going to do.
He told them we were going to break our word.
And he told them they were going to push this off.
And so when I see people now saying, how did the Taliban move so fast?
How did they move so fast?
They had four months.
They had four months to plan this.
And now we are seeing all of this come to fruition.
This is the most feckless foreign policy and military disaster and really humiliation in 50 years for the United States.
steve bannon
Here's what's going to happen.
The cabal of China, they're trying to control the Eurasian landmass with the Mulas in Persia, Pakistan their ally, Turkey now, and Russia.
They're sitting there belly laughing at us.
You don't think it's impacting your personal life?
They're going to move on Taiwan.
But more importantly, what's going to happen in the next couple of weeks, they're going to start taking hostages.
We're going to have another hostage situation like we had in Tehran.
They're going to start taking hostages, they're going to start shooting people, okay?
Because this is exactly the opposite of what Donald Trump said had to happen, okay?
So we're seeing all the globalists, can't wait for Morning Joe on Monday, right?
How are they going to blame this on Trump?
This is 1,000%.
This is what happens when you have an illegitimate president they know can't operate.
He's up in Delaware, wandering around his house.
They're in the Situation Room figuring out this debacle.
We're going to show their lies and misrepresentations when we return in The War Room.
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. Banham.
Question to you is, what happens when they take Kabul?
And what, God forbid, happens if any Americans are harmed?
Well, it's going to be a very cascading tragedy for the Afghan people to start with.
Most of the country now, 40 million people are back under their control.
The consequences of summary execution, women and girls being forced into near-slavery conditions, it's a sad, sad event.
We're out.
We now can easily protect and hold the Kabul International Airport.
We've got very strong security around the U.S.
Embassy.
There's a backup brigade of the 82nd Airborne prepared to go in also.
So what we're doing now is trying to downsize the U.S.
presence.
Contractor, people with NGOs, non-governmental organizations, embassy staffers will probably try and get it down to a couple of hundred people to maintain some figment of engagement with the Afghan government.
But what we can't do is protect the city of Kabul.
So the Taliban can infiltrate.
They're now capturing artillery and mortars.
They may have surface-to-air missiles.
There's four and a half million people in that city with refugees piling in.
So the Taliban could infiltrate and present a significant threat in the next few days.
steve bannon
Okay, this is emblematic.
This was last night on Brian Williams.
Of course, Brian's not smart enough to ask the following questions.
He's got to ask some clown like McCaffrey.
One of the worst.
One of the biggest anti-Never Trumpers.
Always pompous.
He's a dangerous moron.
He's emblematic.
When you're in the Situation Room, this is what you get.
Obama, it's a sad event, the cascading tragedy of the Afghan people.
Was that briefed to Biden back in April and May, when he made this decision?
Was that briefed to him?
Or did they sit there and lie to him, the McCaffrey's of the world lie to him about, oh, the Afghan security forces can hold it.
Or did we know that this was going to happen?
Or did Biden think the Afghan security, which was lied to, and should have asked three or four following questions, which you realize you're being lied to.
Also, this is why we wanted to play this morning.
Here's the biggest lie Jack wanted to bring in here.
They're tweeting out right now the Taliban's heading right to Kabul Airport.
Oh, we can hold indefinitely Kabul Airport.
Oh, yeah, but we got to send a brigade of the 182nd.
Poor young men and women of the 182nd Airborne.
Got to send a brigade.
What is that, a thousand?
Got to airship them in.
Oh, but we can hold it indefinitely.
See, this is what they do in the Situation Room.
They look you right in the eye with this service, got the medals on and all this knowledge.
They look you right in the eye.
We can hold it indefinitely, sir.
You ask three questions.
Next thing you know, they're leaking oil all over the place.
They don't have any answers, no logic to it.
Right there, Posobiec, he goes, oh yeah, they can hold indefinitely.
Oh, but the Taliban's been taking mortars and surface-to-air missiles.
Hey, dude, it's an airport.
If the Taliban's around with surface-to-air missiles, I don't know if that's indefinitely holding it.
What are you going to fly in there?
This is the problem with the apparatus.
The great intel, all that money you spend on CIA, all clowns.
Just show me the briefing papers.

Let's see.
steve bannon
Put online what Biden was briefed about by these geniuses.
Is this an act of commission or is an act of omission?
Right?
Are they just so hapless and stupid and feckless and poor?
And the Afghan people, their project of 20 years of all these Western trained and Western educated guys in Afghan government, you know, McMaster's all his buddies, right?
Cut it right loose.
Hey Taiwan, I hope you're writing this down right now.
Okay, write it down right now.
Cut them loose.
It's a tragedy, cascading tragedy for the Afghan people, but we're out.
Sure.
McCaffrey, you're a disgrace.
You're a disgrace and you're a moron and you're a dangerous moron.
Jack Posobiec.
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, I mean, these are the same people that have been lying bald-faced to the American people for 20 years about the progress and the prosecution of this conflict.
We were lied to about what we were doing there.
We were lied to about why we were there.
This was not about taking out just the original cell, the nucleus, the heads of Al-Qaeda that conducted the 9-11 attacks.
They were attempting to impose a Jeffersonian Republic full of Western values on Afghanistan, right?
This is a country that, by the way, in the late 90s embraced the Taliban.
They embraced Mullah Omar.
Then the U.S.
started going in and propping up these bacha-bazi supporting warlords.
And saying that this was going to be the way that we get things done, the same type of people.
And then the U.S.
soldiers were told to look the other way when Afghan officers would be mistreating young boys and children, even on U.S.
bases, right?
This completely destroyed the legitimacy of the Afghan forces with the people and destroyed the legitimacy of the government.
But they tell us that if you just spend another 20 years or just another 20 days, maybe we can get somewhere.
It's not going to happen, period.
They look at us as an occupying force, the same way they looked at the Soviets, the same way they looked at the British before them.
Alexander the Great, if you go back 2,000 years, right?
This is the graveyard of empires and these idiots who think that we can hold an airport.
unidentified
Well, they've got serpentine missiles and mortars right outside.
steve bannon
In 17, this is why I got them because they had spent hundreds of billions of dollars for the Afghan security forces.
Of course, remember, the number one problem back then, getting shot in the back by the Afghan security force.
Remember, it was a green on green Well, green on blue, green on blue.
So the biggest threat we had, guys were getting shot in the back by Afghan security forces.
I said, hang on for a second, let's go through the math here, right?
The things that told disasters, they're sitting there lying.
I go, this is the country, or the group of tribes, it's not really a country, that stopped, the only guys ever to stop Alexander the Great, I think he died in Afghanistan, only guys stop Alexander the Great, right?
He marries off.
jack posobiec
Alexander marries off one of the princesses and then says, to heck with it, your tribe's in charge now, I'm going to India.
steve bannon
Yeah.
But he came back, and I think he died back there on the way back.
Stopped Alexander the Great.
Done.
Okay?
British.
25, what, 10,000 man army.
They march out.
They're surrounded.
They're controlling Afghanistan as part of the India Pact.
They march out.
One guy survived.
They leave one guy to survive, as Sam Fettis told us yesterday, to tell the tale of it, right?
British Empire, top of their game.
Soviet Empire, top of their game.
And I said, you look at the numbers that we spent over a hundred billion dollars, right?
You look at the thing and then nobody fights.
The only shooting, only guys they shoot is us in the back.
Only this apparatus, the national, all the generals, all the CIA, all of them, only those guys can take the world's greatest fighters and turn it into the world's worst army on a hundred billion dollars of taxpayer money in the blood of American boys and girls.
That's what happened.
That's what happened.
We took the best fighters in the world.
Tough as boot leather.
Turn them into an army.
And you're seeing it right now.
You're seeing it right now.
It's going to collapse before your eyes.
It's going to collapse before your eyes.
They're going to be taking the women hostages.
Daily Mail's got it.
They're already gouging women's eyes out.
Already raping the women.
It's up on the Daily Mail.
This ain't War Room.
This is the world's media.
Okay?
And they're going to be taking American hostages because, no McCaffrey, you are wrong.
You look the guy in the eye.
Oh, we're going to hold it indefinitely.
That au contraire, sir.
The enemy gets a vote.
Yeah.
jack posobiec
Where is the President in all of this?
Where is the President coming out and saying, if you touch our people, you will be destroyed?
Where's his Secretary of Defense?
Where's Lloyd Austin?
Where's General Milley?
Is he hiding under his desk, going through his next critical race theory, worrying about how he's going to blame this on white rage?
steve bannon
No, no, hold on, hold on, stop, stop, hang on, hang on, hang on, Jack, Jack, Jack, you bring up a great, Jack, you bring up a great point.
Milley, hey, don't, quit worrying about white rage, start looking about Taliban rage.
That should be your problem.
You're the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
How about Al Qaeda and Taliban rage?
That should be what you're focused on, Milley.
This is another great thing.
Keep going.
You got a good punch list there, Jack.
Keep rolling.
jack posobiec
Look, you look at Milley and what better example, what singular Hold it.
steve bannon
Hold it.
jack posobiec
can we point to or example of the great mediocrity of our currently constituted Pentagon.
This isn't the Pentagon of Patton.
This isn't the World War II generals, right?
These are the generals who wouldn't be, I said last week, we're not ready to fight tonight.
I said that.
And I got a lot of flack for saying that.
And now look what happened just a week later.
steve bannon
It's so much worse.
I'm going to give you, Biden's up in Delaware, wandering around with Joe, who's got the moo-moo in the boot.
jack posobiec
He's full River City.
steve bannon
Full River City.
They don't know where they're, he's wandering around somewhere in the backyard, right?
In the Situation Room over the White House, here's what they got this morning.
Listen to the team you've got.
This is Team America, what we're feeling.
you got kamala harris who did what they have the board of the you know that has no or the idea what's going on she's heading the discussion you get milly you got austin often comes off the plane singapore fully backstage got a met five minutes can issue yield that's shown the world your clown okay you got austin millie two geniuses then you got then you get the two sword boys you get tokyo blinking and you got jake sullivan Jake Sullivan's a little pencil neck that flies down to Brazil.
Everything going on in the world, he's got to go to Brazil and tell Bolsonaro, don't mess with the machines because you're running against Lula, a Marxist, who's our guy, right?
That's what's sitting around the room in the... Of course, you've got the DHS guy.
You've got the CIA.
It's a clown show.
Talk about mediocrity.
jack posobiec
Well, they call the CIA the clowns in action.
steve bannon
Where are their briefings?
I want to see the briefings the President got about what was going to happen here.
What's going to happen here.
Look, we're not globalist.
We're not imperialist.
We're America first.
But it was, Donald Trump was handed this festering sore, right?
And Donald Trump had a plan.
Eric Prince had a plan.
Eric's going to be on the second hour to talk about it.
Trump's plan and Pompeo's plan of a conditions-based withdrawal.
We're getting that.
We understand that.
Pasobic when you Trump's plan and Pompeo's plan of a conditions-based Withdrawal we're getting out. We understand that but you're not gonna cut and run This is a red. This is a cut and run and devil take the hindmost Well, there are devils over there and they're going to take them.
Okay?
There are devils over there and you're going to take them.
And we're going to rub your nose in it every day.
The consumer confidence had the greatest drop only five times in I think it's 40 or 50 years.
This is the American people understand right now.
This thing's in a free fall and there's no bottom to Biden.
There's not going to stop at 35 percent.
He's going to the 20s because they're going to start taking hostages and start shooting hostages.
Jack Pasovic.
jack posobiec
What you're seeing now is not only the collapse of the U.S.
in Afghanistan, you are looking at the collapse of U.S.
throughout Central Asia.
Afghanistan was supposed to be drawn down to an embassy situation where we would have enough of a strike force that if there was a threat to the homeland, we could reach out and take care of it.
Also, it would provide us early warning and early watch for everything that was going on in that part of the world.
As China, keep in mind, is building its One Belt, One Road.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are a huge, massive part of that.
That is where the pipelines are going to be built all the way down through Karachi and going into the Gulf because they want that Iranian oil.
That's what this is all about.
And so my question for China is, hey, good luck guys.
Just wait until the Taliban starts blowing up your pipelines.
I'll be waiting for my popcorn on that one.
But really what we see here is that we are going to lose all of our, what you call PNA, placement and access.
We're going to have no idea what's going on in Central Asia.
We're going to have no idea what's happening.
And if you're an American over there at this point, if you're an American over there, you are PNG.
I can't even imagine what they're going to do.
You are going to be taken hostage.
unidentified
Yeah.
jack posobiec
You're going to be held for ransom.
The United States has lost all credibility in the region writ large, and we haven't even begun to discuss the ramifications of this.
I'm not talking about extended occupation, extended deployment.
I'm talking about us being able to operate there, period.
steve bannon
We're not people who wanted to be there in the first place, but you've got to handle things.
By the way, the 30,000 interpreters and commandos that work with us, the 30,000 are trying to get them out.
Why would you ever work with us again?
But hold it.
I'm talking about Americans in the embassy, American contractors over there.
It's devil take the hindmost.
And what you're going to have to do to save it is, guess what?
Bring in the deplorable sons and daughters.
Let's do it again.
We had so much fun the first time.
Let's get another brigade over there to hold Kabul, to hold the airport, where they're taking incoming from mortars and surface-air missiles and maybe getting shot in the back by one of these Afghan security forces.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
I'm going to return to the war room in a minute.
unidentified
War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room Pandemic.
Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, but so besides a hostage situation, which is the one thing we don't want to have happen, but that could be, and by the way, I want to get these Daily Mail stories up from where we're talking, particularly one about the woman who I think is a UN observer who's talking about, and part of the General Assembly in Afghanistan, talking about women's eyes being gouged out, you know, already women being raped by the good old Taliban, right?
Who we couldn't take care of in 20 years because we got lied to consistently.
Jack, what about Taiwan?
If you're in Taiwan right now, South China Sea, Taiwan, which is Silicon Valley West, forget whether you don't want to defend them out of moral purpose, just practicality.
The American economy collapses if Taiwan goes away.
What's Beijing thinking this morning?
Because they're going to recognize the Taliban here.
As soon as they take charge, they're going to recognize them.
They'll figure they'll deal with them.
They're just another criminal organization.
Taliban's not religious.
It's a criminal organization, just like the CCP.
They're partners in crime, just like the mullahs in Afghanistan.
Right?
Just like I think the government in Turkey, Erdogan, I think he's a criminal.
Right?
Just like Putin.
They're all criminals.
That's why they hang together.
They got no problem.
They hang together.
Right?
So CCP, if you're sitting in Beijing this morning, or in Taipei, what's your thinking, Jack Pasovic?
jack posobiec
Look, Steve, it's a phrase as old as the world, right?
If you seek Peace.
Parabellum, right?
Prepare for war.
The U.S.
defense posture is predicated on U.S.
strength.
Our ability to maintain our commitments and our ability to wage war through power projection throughout the world is predicated on our willingness to back that up with what we say we're going to do.
The minute we lose that, whether it be Afghanistan or whether it be the South China Sea, that is when our adversaries realize that our word Has become meaningless.
We don't want to go to a shooting fight.
We don't want to go get into a shooting match with China already.
steve bannon
Because this is, hold it, the American people are spending a trillion, yeah.
They are going to a point, and that's the point.
Taxpayers, you're spending a trillion dollars a year.
Don't take the 780 billion dollars, you add it all up because they're hiding it everywhere.
You add it all up, you're spending a trillion dollars a year on intelligence and national defense.
A trillion.
Right.
unidentified
And McCaffrey, well, we can send a brigade in for the 82nd Airborne.
steve bannon
Right.
Yeah.
We got the money.
We have the muscle.
Right.
We don't have the will or the smarts.
That's the problem.
You don't have the will and you don't have the smarts to do this.
jack posobiec
And now they are chasing their fantasies.
They're chasing a fantasy of nation building in a country that still is based on medieval values.
You are not going to get a Jeffersonian Western Republic, they don't have the same values as us.
They don't have the same history as us.
They don't have the same culture as us.
You are not going to impose that there.
And that is why you see, by and large, the people of Afghanistan have rejected this.
That's why the ANA is dropping down their arms and joining up with the Taliban.
They don't want this anymore.
They don't view that government as legitimate at all.
They view it as a vassal state that was set up, puppet government set up by the United States government.
And that's why after 20 years, it disappeared, right?
You didn't see this in Japan.
You didn't see this in Germany, et cetera, after World War II, right?
This was a completely failed experiment.
Yet there are still people today, the Bill Crystals of the world, Adam Kinzinger's, that say, if we just spend a little bit more money, if we just spend a little bit more time, then they are gonna see, you're gonna see a fully functioning multi-party democracy right there in Afghanistan.
And it's a joke and it's feckless and you're getting people killed.
steve bannon
Yeah, Billy Crystal wants to send values back in, wants to send divisions back in.
Cause we can save it, we can turn it around, just a little bit of thing, we can turn it around.
Yep, okay, don't think so.
I gotta pivot, before I let you go, this thing on Snopes.
You know, you're one of the powerful voices because you're all over social media.
This is a big deal.
This guy's supposed to be the ultimate fact checker.
Virulently anti-Trump, virulently anti-Bannon, but that's a subset, right?
Virulently anti-MAGA, virulently anti-populist, virulently anti-nationalist.
These people are as nasty as they get and they're supposed to be like the Caesar's wife when it comes to fact-checking.
What do we find out about Snopes?
jack posobiec
Yeah, what happened with Snopes is the complete downfall of the world's oldest and probably the most powerful fact-checking engine.
unidentified
Right.
jack posobiec
And we've said this before that, you know, you see when you're fact checked, that just means you've got something right.
Well, Snopes, the CEO and co-founder, keep in mind Snopes is run essentially by two people and their cats in their apartment somewhere.
The CEO has now been suspended because he was caught plagiarizing stories, stealing content from people, passing it off as his own, using fake aliases, publishing articles up on his website under false names, And and portraying all of this as if it was his own work and straight up lying.
So they've retracted multiple stories.
They're going through a deeper investigation of what was going on there.
And this just goes to show you that these people and you, of course, have had Alan Duke on from lead stories.
He's got that's kind of like the new Snopes.
They're the up and comers, right?
These people are all cut from the exact same cloth.
The fact checkers are nothing more than the hall monitors of the overstate.
They are pushing regime narratives.
Their job is to shut you up, to silence you, and shut you down.
And when you look at who they are, and you look at the money that they're taking, in the case of Alan Duke and the CCP, when you're looking at the way they conduct themselves in the case of Snopes, with their lies, years and years of lies, this is who they are.
This is exactly who we always said they were.
steve bannon
Okay, before we lose you, I want to thank you and the family for letting you spend an hour with us today.
Human Events, what are you guys working on?
Your contacts, how do people follow you, but particularly what's coming up this week on Human Events?
Got about a minute and a half.
jack posobiec
Yeah, big stuff on Human Events.
We're actually going into Hollywood right now.
We're going to James Gunn.
There's a huge scandal that's breaking, Saturday Night Live, Horatio Sands, Jimmy Fallon, about what was going on with those SNL after parties.
Back in the late 90s, early 2000s, and how they were bringing people in, teenagers, that they were meeting from message boards, and they were not exactly checking IDs when they were going there.
So Jimmy Fallon, Horatio Sands, all the rest of the people who were around Jimmy Kimmel from that period, you're put on notice.
We're coming for you.
Wow.
steve bannon
What is this?
The underage people at the, the Saturday Night Live after parties historically have been pretty wild events, right?
jack posobiec
Oh yeah.
Lorne Michaels knew all about it, NBC, you all knew.
You all knew.
steve bannon
And you're telling me that you're going to be exposing some of these top names that they were, they had underage children there?
Is that what, underage kids?
jack posobiec
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
Underage teenagers, people that they would lure from the internet, that they would meet.
You get the responses on these message boards, AOL instant messenger, AOL chat group saying, Oh, I, you know, I can't believe that I'm sitting in the same room as Jimmy Fallon, the same room as Horatio Sanz.
They even let me have some alcohol.
Oh yeah, this is going to be great.
Put me on the list.
Get me into the party.
It was a grooming.
It was a grooming situation and they all knew what was going on there.
steve bannon
You've done such an amazing job at Human Events.
Give us your social media handles before you punch.
jack posobiec
Yeah, humanevents.com, and follow me on Getter.
If you're not on Getter yet, the new update just got pushed last night.
This is sleek.
You've got a new mentions tab, full new function tabs on there.
I'm really liking how it's running.
It's running so fast, so smooth, and there's no censorship on there, so we don't have to worry about that stuff.
