Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
You don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
That this is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room.
unidentified
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Just a month ago, the president said a Taliban takeover of Afghanistan was highly unlikely.
Was the intelligence wrong or did he dismiss it?
Well, the president did not think it was inevitable that the Taliban were going to take control of Afghanistan.
He thought the Afghan National Security Forces could step up and fight because we spent 20 years, tens of billions of dollars training them, giving them the best equipment, giving them support of U.S.
forces for 20 years, and when push came to shove, they decided not to step up and fight for their country.
mika brzezinski
So Richard Haass, the same question for you, since you consider this to be malpractice, and what I heard from David Ignatius was no solutions.
Absolutely nothing that has a positive outcome.
Why not go back in?
unidentified
Well, going back in would be militarily stunningly difficult and costly.
And I don't think at this point it's either politically on or militarily or strategically on.
The moment for that has passed.
Sorry, having some technical problems.
The moment for that has passed.
mika brzezinski
Sorry, we hear you.
unidentified
And I don't think that's a realistic option to go back And I think the real question is, can you in some ways do what David's talking about, which I think is the immediate issue?
Beyond that, there's not a lot.
I think we have to basically tend to the rest of American foreign policy to avoid this becoming a larger turning point, to try to reassure people around the world that what happened here is not a precedent for what will happen elsewhere, that we still can be counted on.
We're still involved in the world.
That don't conclude from Afghanistan more than should.
I think that might be the most important thing in addition to dealing with the local tragedies.
mika brzezinski
So keep this from defining who we are and that this is the Biden foreign policy.
Could be difficult with some of the pictures that will be coming out of Afghanistan in the weeks and months to come.
I'm not sure how you keep this from defining who we are.
At this point, it seems a little bleak, Richard.
unidentified
Look, we have all sorts of alliance relationships around the world with Japan, with Korea, with NATO.
We have all sorts of other commitments.
I think we have to, as bizarre as it sounds, is deal with this, but compartmentalize it, not allow this to become a turning point.
It's not going to be easy, Mika.
I hear you.
These images are terrible.
The reality is terrible.
But if you're asking me, what does the Biden administration needs to do?
It needs to tend to the rest of the world.
steve bannon
Wow.
We're live here in the War Room.
It is Monday, the 16th of August, the Year of Our Lord 2021.
It is a turning point for the Biden regime.
And in fact, there's an implosion you can hear in Mika's voice right there.
Remember, she's Zygmunt Brzezinski's daughter.
She knows, at least has been around these intense times when you're supposed to be in the Situation Room.
This is a complete and total debacle.
Donald Trump last night, the 45th President of the United States, called for Joe Biden to resign.
Because of this.
You know, Vindman, that little worm's been, you know, skipping around on MSNBC and CNN the last couple days trying to hawk his book about impeaching Trump over the interagency process.
We need to get to the bottom of all this.
Look, we've got a lot going on.
We've got the full forensic audit.
We've got things happening in Georgia.
We got German intelligence talking about the Wuhan lab and about the WHO being on the fix.
We got Natalie Winters, Cleta Mitchell about elections.
Michael and Dale's going to join us in the second hour.
But right now, the implosion in Afghanistan is important on so many levels.
The most important level, though, is the illegitimate regime of Joe Biden is coming to an end in front of your eyes.
This is beyond a disaster.
This is a catastrophe of epic proportions for this country, and particularly for the deplorables, because the troops are going back in to try to save whoever they can save.
are the deplorable sons and daughters.
You're the ones that are manning up, once again, after all the blood and treasure in 20 years, by the globalist elites in this country that all kidded themselves about standing up a pro-democracy government in Kabul with a bunch of guys who went to Georgetown University, a bunch of guys who went to Western universities.
And could skim as much of our money off the top and let the let the heroin fields come back into play.
Right.
You saw that, you know, and Joe Biden's so adamant this is not going to be Vietnam.
This is not going to be the Afghan National Army, the National Security Forces.
Right.
It's not tens of billions of dollars.
Jake Pencil Nick Sullivan.
It is hundreds of billions of dollars.
I think Brown University net present value of our target is something like two trillion dollars.
Okay?
That would be Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor.
You haven't seen him around anywhere.
You know why?
He's in Brazil lecturing Bolsonaro on voting machines for the election next year when Bolsonaro runs the tables on the communist criminal Lula, who's all of their favorite, you know, the New Yorkers and Hamptons, you know, favorite Marxists of the year.
Kind of like a Che Guevara type.
That's what Jake Sullivan is.
I want to bring in Jack Posobiec for updates.
Listen, we're America first.
Donald Trump had to plan a conditions-based withdrawal to still leave pipe hitters close enough they could take care of the bad guys and never have a threat to the United States again.
That is not what's happening here.
This is cut and run and devil take the hindmost and these devils are going to take them.
Christians, women, etc.
Wait till the hostages start.
The footage out of the airport that we can't show you.
There's so much footage and I recommend you go online and watch it.
You need to embrace it.
You need to see it.
We can't show it here on television.
It's too horrific.
It's too brutal to be shown.
Posobiec, you've been all over this from the beginning.
Walk us through, give us updates on the reality of what's happening, not the happy talk you're seeing, the Biden administration, and even, look, CNN has flipped on him, right?
Mika's sitting right there.
She essentially flipped on him.
Talk us through what's really going on and what's the reaction, Jack Posobiec, of human events.
jack posobiec
Well, Steve, if you want the situation, it's as follows.
Look, on Saturday, we told you that the choke point in all of this was going to be the airport On last night, when we did the special emergency broadcast, the one hour live special, we said this is a grim situation at the airport.
It is rapidly deteriorating.
Overnight, that situation completely deteriorated.
They lost military control of the airport.
Now the airfield has been shut down because the entire airstrip, where I kept saying those people are coming in unscreened, they were breaking through the wire.
You've got people, and they're predominantly males, by the way, That are getting into that airport, onto that airfield.
You can see them clinging onto the C-17s and the Stratofortresses and some of these just, just, it's, it's horrific.
It's tragic.
And these will be historic images.
This is the legacy of Joe Biden, whether, you know, whether he likes it or not, this is it.
He owns this.
But Steve, I want to send you something.
I didn't even get a chance to tell you this because it just broke 10 minutes, 10 minutes before we came on air.
I just got this across my desk.
Global Times out of China.
The CCP's, that's their party mouthpiece in the West.
Here's their editorial headline right now.
Global Times.
From what happened in Afghanistan, those in Taiwan should perceive that once a war breaks out in the Straits, the island's defense will collapse in hours and the U.S.
military won't come to help.
As a result, Taiwan will quickly surrender.
steve bannon
This is what we've been talking about for day one.
This is what we said, the major message with all the disasters is Silicon Valley West, and if you think we don't have a moral obligation for Taiwan, leave that aside for a second.
The practical considerations, Silicon Valley West, the entire American economy centers around the chips, and particularly the advanced chip design, made, manufactured in Taiwan.
It is something we have to hold.
If we don't hold it, we don't have an economy.
The economy will implode.
And this is what we told you from the beginning, what CCP is going to do.
Three weeks ago, they had the ambassador for the head of the East Asia group from the State Department go, they sat her in a chair and lectured her for like two hours about the rising CCP and what they were going to do, how America was going to accept that.
She did a pretty good job, I think it was Secretary Morgan, standing her ground.
The next day, in that very chair, in that very hall, they put the head of the Taliban, the Taliban representative in China, to say, this is the equivalent of the United States.
You don't think they knew what was going to happen three and four weeks ago, but Joe Biden didn't?
And now you got Morrell and Ignatius and these hacks on TV saying the CIA was ahead of this?
If that's the case, and Vindman, you little worm, the interagency process, what did Biden know?
When do you know?
We want all the briefing papers should be put online today.
Go ahead, sir.
jack posobiec
So I've been talking to officials, U.S.
personnel in the region and people that have been in contact that are active duty at this time.
Uh, what they told me is when Biden was going out there and giving these press conferences about how there's no Intel, Kabul is strong, they're going to stand, they'll be able to cover the entire exit, 300,000 soldiers, et cetera, et cetera.
They said the Intel that they were getting on the ground.
And this is the, this isn't even the high level stuff.
This is the basic level stuff.
Was all saying that this was going to happen for the last two to three months.
They said this system, the system was blinking red, that the Taliban's recapture of the country was imminent.
And Joe Biden went on TV and said the exact opposite.
And so the question then becomes, did he knowingly go in front of the American people and order this operation, order our troops into harm's way, knowing exactly What would happen?
You know, you talk about Vindman and you talk about the impeachment that he was involved in.
That was over a phone call.
That was over, you know, a breakdown of the decision making process.
This is far beyond anything like that.
And you've already seen lawmakers and officials here in Washington, D.C.
talking about what does that mean going forward for this administration where you haven't even seen a president come out and speak publicly since Friday and a vice president who were told over the weekend She was asked if she would do Kamala Harris a press conference.
She refused.
She said, I'm not touching that, you know, with an iron poker.
I'm going to talk about Haiti.
I'm going to talk about the vaccines, but I'm definitely not going to talk about Afghanistan.
Now we're hearing that Jen Psaki, the official spokesperson for this White House, isn't even going to be at work for the entire week.
Her out of office reply is coming up from her email.
There wasn't even an announcement that was made.
You've got An entire administration that has turned tail and they are paralyzed in fear at what they have done.
steve bannon
Marjorie Taylor Greene said last night on the special they should bring impeachment charges.
What did he know?
When did he know it?
All the briefing papers ought to be out.
If he willingly went against strong recommendations, if some elements of the government knew this was going to happen, and Joe Biden, in his own feckless, hapless way, impeachment charges, I believe, Jack Posobiec, what do you think?
Impeachment charges ought to be brought up immediately.
Immediately, Jack Posobiec.
jack posobiec
Look, the President, President Trump, when he was in office said, let's do this on May Let's get out why there's a fighting season in Afghanistan that peaks over the summertime He said let's get out before the fighting season Begins before they can be and constitute their highest strength point for over that yearly cycle Biden decided to do it at the Taliban's strongest point why we will never know until we do an investigation Until we have a commission until we have a special
prosecutor or a special counsel That's digging into this from a truly independent review to create a report and then bring that back to Congress to find out exactly What went wrong with this?
And look, I've seen a lot of people saying, but wait, I thought you guys said we shouldn't be in Afghanistan anymore.
Look, these are two separate things and you need to be able to break this apart in the analysis, right?
We know that we're talking about the general situation of extended military operations and nation building in Afghanistan.
That's one piece.
But the other piece is you don't rush out and have this botched exit.
And I think even a child would understand that.
But you're starting to see these these partisans in Washington, D.C.
and other pundits try to cling on to some of this stuff.
steve bannon
As if it's a way to try to say that the, you know, the blame shouldn't be on Biden.
The signal's not the noise is saying it's unavoidable.
That's just nonsense.
President Trump, we were the ones that said, you gotta get out of Afghanistan, but you have to do it in a conditions-based way, and you still keep pipetters around that can take care of the bad guys, and you don't cut and run like this.
This is going to be a bigger tragedy than Vietnam.
It's directly analogous to Vietnam, although Vietnam wasn't as bad as this is going to happen.
And we told you, and told you, and told you, the Chinese Communist Party, by the way, who watches Chinese intelligence, watches this show, breaks it down.
We told you it was about Taiwan, and they come out in the Global Times, the tabloid of the CCP, their mouthpiece, and today put it in your grill.
To the Taiwanese people.
You better be.
Look at Kabul.
You want to see how the United States and Joe Biden backs people?
Look at Kabul.
You ought to turn over and surrender today and surrender those advanced chip designs.
You think you got a tough time getting a refrigerator in your house?
Think you got a tough time buying a pickup truck?
You ain't seen nothing yet if Taiwan goes.
We're going to keep us sober.
We've got to pack a lot in today.
School's back.
The firestorm about vaccinations for kids.
We've got election fraud.
All of it.
And Mike Lindell in the War Room.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, ladies and gentlemen of this audience, and particularly coming through in Mandarin with G News and GTV, we're now in Japanese to Lao Bai Jing, old hundred names, which is essentially the deplorables of China.
If you don't think stolen elections have consequences, embrace the suck.
Because this is what happens when you have an illegitimate, incompetent regime.
This is not managed decline by our elites.
This is collapse.
This is collapse.
You want to see what it looks like?
Just go online and see what's happening in Afghanistan right now.
Every Christian in this audience, say a prayer today, not for yourselves, say it for the Christians in Afghanistan.
Jack Posobiec, tell us what's going on, what you're hearing on Twitter and others about what's happening to the Christians there.
jack posobiec
We're getting messages now from Christian missionary groups that have been operating in Afghanistan for this period that they're getting notes.
They're called the night letters.
And of course, the Taliban is infamous for these.
So the night letters are, you wake up in the morning, you've got a note just on your door or slipped under the door.
And it says, we know who you are.
We know what you're doing.
The Taliban is going around, they are making lists, they're focusing on government officials right now, but once they're done with that, once they've solidified their control, they will come for the Christian groups.
That's exactly what they're doing, that's exactly what they've done in the past, and you will be told.
You'll be given a choice, basically.
You can either submit Or you can face the consequences.
This is the option that Christians are given over there, right?
steve bannon
This is the imposition of full Sharia law.
Submit means very simple.
You've got to convert to Islam.
Right?
No choice.
You've got to convert.
The moment of decision right there, that's what martyrs are made of.
Right there.
You've got to convert on the spot.
jack posobiec
We're also told, Steve, just breaking news, that the U.S.
military just held a face-to-face with a Taliban commander Pleading for non-interference at the Kabul airport while evacuations continue.
steve bannon
This is the point, by the way, Stefanik, they had this call yesterday, MTG, you know, talked about what was on the call with the Republican House members and Blinken and Austin and Milley, OK?
Stefanik, who's no fire-breathing radical, she put out a list of questions.
She says, hey, they cut us off.
I want a question.
Her number three question says, I'm hearing that we've paid an immense amount of money in tribute to the Taliban to allow some sort of evacuation of U.S.
personnel.
I want to know the details of that.
The Taliban controls the situation.
McCaffrey and these clowns on MSNBC are frightened.
Oh, we control the airport.
We got this.
Not a problem.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
They control everything.
And what you're going to see is Biden.
Let me give you signal, not noise in tomorrow's news today.
What they're going to do is crawl to the Taliban and try to get some sort of ceasefire or some sort of stand down so they can get not just the American citizens, but the NGOs and others out.
All the NGOs, all the global elites that have been over there working, right?
That now they've abandoned because of their incompetence and some malevolence.
Jack, just hang on for one second.
By the way, what's happening, TV can't even show you the horror that's already going on, including people trying to get, if we can get those military planes on the runway with people, it's much more horrible than Vietnam.
You got guys hanging on to major military aircraft, right, trying to just hang on for a ride, get me out of the country.
You don't think they know what's going to happen?
This is going to be seared into the memory of the world.
Joe Biden, oh we're back.
Trump was terrible, we're back.
Look at the world under Donald Trump.
And look at the world under this regime that's there today.
You don't think 3 November, you don't think hammering down you patriots in Arizona and in Georgia, and yes, Jake Corman in Pennsylvania, you don't think it's incredibly important now, more than ever, to get to the bottom of what happened on November 3rd?
And Natalie Winters is going to be here to get to the bottom of what happened in Wuhan.
The Global Times is laughing in your face right now.
And as we told you from the very beginning when this started, it's Taiwan.
Those criminals in Beijing are looking right there.
And God bless you.
You want to say a prayer today?
You say a prayer for the people in Taiwan, okay?
For these monsters in Beijing.
Because those monsters are the part... These are transnational criminal organizations.
That's what the Taliban is.
The Taliban makes all the money off the heroin.
These are transnational criminal organizations that are now coming together.
It's like the cartels in Mexico.
The Tongs in China.
The Chinese Communist Party.
The Taliban.
Jack, go ahead.
jack posobiec
Just to throw in real quickly, The Prime Minister of Pakistan has just congratulated the Taliban on their victory and he said the Afghans have broken their shackles of slavery.
steve bannon
Yeah, this is Imran Khan.
That's the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
The international cricket player.
He's our buddy.
How many billions of dollars went into Pakistan?
Oh, you can't go into Pakistan.
This is what Trump has told you.
You can't go into Pakistan.
unidentified
You can't go.
steve bannon
They're a sovereign nation.
There's no sovereign nations over there.
It's all tribes, the Pashtuns.
Let's bring in Sam Fetis of the CIA.
Sam, how bad is it?
What is the mainstream media not reporting to cover the Biden administration?
How bad is it over there?
You've been in Pakistan for too many years to count.
What is actually going on there from your sources on the ground?
unidentified
Yeah, well, from talking to a whole bunch of sources throughout the night, it is a complete disaster.
It is not under control.
sam faddis
We do not have anything secured, and we are desperately trying to pull together a plan as we go.
unidentified
We have hundreds, if not thousands, of Americans trapped now behind Taliban lines.
We have no plan nor capacity to get them out.
We have expended munitions in theater to the point Where we're having to arrange emergency resupply from Europe just so we have something to shoot with.
We got Taliban checkpoints in Kabul where they're stopping people checking their cell phones.
If you got a U.S.
number in your cell phone, you die right there.
sam faddis
They're going house to house identifying pilots, special operations teams members, all the elite guys we trained, finding them and executing them all as a preemptive strike to prevent any counteraction.
unidentified
Uh, we got everybody off the bench, everybody in the field, but we are scrambling.
This is we, we, we don't even, we haven't even reached the point where we can say we got our people out and we have no guarantee that we are going to get all our people out.
steve bannon
Unbelievable.
And let's bring in Charlie Santos.
Charlie's also been in theater over there for 30 years as a U.N.
negotiator and also working for various aspects of the U.S.
government.
Charlie, you and I have talked a lot.
We knew this was coming.
Talk about the Afghan security force that we put $100 billion into and turned their weapons over.
Tell us what happened in Herat and other places.
unidentified
Well, the Afghan security forces have basically been hollowed out for years and years, and we've known about it.
What we've actually done is we've undermined the local communities, the non-Pashtun groups, which are not Taliban.
So people don't really understand this, but the Taliban are Pashtun.
The non-Taliban who've been fighting the Taliban, the non-Pashtun communities, the Uzbeks, the Hazaras, the Tajiks, they have been undermined over the last 10 years, 15 years in this sort of nation-building effort.
In Herat, Ismail Khan was organizing a resistance to the Taliban and was actually betrayed by the Afghan National Army, which basically brought him into their base and then arrested him.
They were working for the Taliban at that point.
And so what we know is that the Afghan government, this seven day collapse, or this three or four day collapse even, is not just a question of lack of will.
It is worse than that.
It has been pre-planned in many ways with a number of the elements within the Afghan National Army who've turned over their weapons.
This happened up in the north as well with Ustad Atta and General Dostum who were organizing resistance against the Taliban and they were betrayed again by the Afghan National Army.
And I have to say that this all has emerged out of a failed and illegitimate election in Afghanistan that occurred several years ago, where we supported Ghani and we supported this idea that these communities had no role.
And this is a fundamental intelligence failure.
I can't, I mean, we knew this.
I mean, there's no way that we didn't know this.
And yet we closed our eyes and we wouldn't do the things that we needed to do to ensure that there was a resistance to the Taliban when this transition would happen.
It's extraordinary.
steve bannon
I'm just...
Sam, I want to go back to you, because you work the Pakistan side of this thing.
How could the military and the intelligence community continue to tell senior members, whether it's Trump or others, that the Afghan National Army, with hundreds of billions of dollars, was ready to fight, and everything was predicated upon them?
That's why we've got to see the briefing papers to Biden, right?
How could it go that we knew the Afghan security forces, we always knew it, Because remember, at the time, blue on green or green on blue killing was the biggest casualties.
These guys were shooting us in the back.
That's always a tell they're not ready to fight.
Sam Faddis.
unidentified
Well, I mean, you have a couple of problems here.
First is you have politicization at the top of the bureaucracy.
So what you're going to tell folks is what they want to hear.
And you don't anymore at places like CIA have folks in charge.
Who are field operators who've made their bones out there on the ground.
You have a whole bunch of folks who made their bones back in DC playing political games and trying to overthrow Donald Trump.
So that's a major problem.
And then that trickles down to the field, right?
You don't have the folks collecting this information and giving you that hard truth, which is the ultimate job of Intel guy, right?
I don't care what your politics are.
I'm going to tell you the truth then over to you to do what you want with it.
So, um, Just as we've seen, we've got problems in the military.
Our intel apparatus has failed catastrophically as well.
steve bannon
Another catastrophic failure.
Okay, Sam Faddis, the publisher of AND Magazine.
We're going to get it up into the live chat.
You've got to go to AND.
Amazing analysis.
He's breaking stuff every day.
Charlie Santos from Lithuania.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate your analysis.
Jack, if you can just hang on through the break.
I'm going to spend a few minutes with Jack Passova.
We're going to bring Joe Kent.
Remember, the deplorables that always rest on your shoulders.
Right?
It was your sons and daughters over there for the 20 years.
Well, guess what?
Now in panic, the Biden administration, trying to figure things out on the fly, are calling on the deplorable sons and daughters to go back in, to go back in, and to save its bacon.
Okay, Joe Kent's going to join us, Jack Posobiec, we got Natalie Winters, Cleta Mitchell, all of it, next in the War Room.

That's got your back.
Okay, I want to go back to Jack Posovic.
Jack, you've been great on the breaking news.
You're all over this on multiple feeds.
Get us up to date on what's happening with refugees.
Now they're talking about 30, 40, 50, 60,000 refugees not screening, just getting them out of country somehow and putting them where?
In the United States?
jack posobiec
Look, Steve, this is Signal Not Noise right here.
You've already got Defense Department officials saying that they can unilaterally do this.
They're telling reporters that they're going to be bringing in tens of thousands of people that they're classifying as Afghan refugees into bases in Wisconsin, in Texas they're talking about. We need to know what is the screening process for this. Congress has to get involved and understand who exactly are we bringing into the country. Why do we have to bring them all the way to the United States right now when we have bases throughout the region that can handle this.
What's going on? Where's our allies in Saudi Arabia with all this? Where's our allies throughout the area with this? Billions to Pakistan, they can't help us with this. And then you know I just throw this out there to one of those CCP trolls, a Chinese state media guy was coming after me on Twitter and I said why don't we just send all the Afghan refugees up across your border to Xinjiang? How would you like that?
steve bannon
Yeah, absolutely.
By the way, Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, all the great... Iraq, all the bases we have there, all the great allies we have in the region, quote-unquote allies... Hey Erdogan, you want to stay in NATO?
Yeah.
Turkey, but Egypt, we're sending billions of dollars a year.
You gotta take, right now, they should be dispersed.
They should not leave the region until intense scrutiny goes on, and then it's still an open call whether they come to the United States.
I would say not.
I'd say they stay in the region.
Okay?
These are our allies.
There's plenty of bases there.
All of this bringing 40, 30, 40, 50, 60,000 refugees to Texas, Wisconsin, other military bases.
Not acceptable.
jack posobiec
Well, you'd actually be able to get more because the air bridge would be shorter.
steve bannon
That's my point.
And you've got plenty of, we've got all this stuff in Iraq, Qatar, we've got a huge base there, UAE is supposed to be a big ally, the Saudis we've been propping up for years, Egypt we're propping up, Erdogan and NATO, you don't need to leave, actually some of the Pashtuns, if you want to go to Pakistan, maybe that's a little dicey, but this whole thing with refugees, I'm now pouring in tens of thousands, and we're a supporter No blank checks.
You gotta take care of your people, don't doubt that.
That doesn't mean they gotta come to Green Bay, Wisconsin.
jack posobiec
No blank checks.
steve bannon
They can go to Qatar.
No blank checks.
This is another implosion and now they're gonna use this as an excuse to do it.
I wanna know when the impeachment process starts with Biden, because only through an impeachment process can we get to the bottom of what happened here.
This is unique in American history.
This is far worse in Vietnam.
Vietnam was two years after a peace treaty, right?
Two years after a peace treaty with infiltration coming in.
And this was the Democrats that cut and ran there after the Watergate situation.
Okay, they cut and ran.
And after they stopped the draft, a little buddy, you know, a buddy insists didn't have to be drafted, right?
That was the whole thing.
No big anti-war movement after the draft ended.
They cut and ran, 25 million people died in the region.
Okay, Democrats have a, they don't care about people.
They treat people like trash.
They treat people like trash.
But now, to be logical, they have to stay in the region and get more out.
They have to stay in the region.
In Qatar, right?
In UAE, the big allies there.
In the time that UAE stepped up, in Saudi Arabia, in Iraq, in Kuwait, Turkey, Egypt.
Plenty of space.
Middle East doesn't have a problem with space.
Got plenty of room over there.
Jack Posobiec, this is another scam, isn't it?
This is a total Biden regime scam.
jack posobiec
Look, go back to 9-11, right?
The other side wants to say we were in Afghanistan because of 9-11.
Well, let's go back to 9-11.
Yes, we know that some of the planning was going on over there.
Look, I served at Guantanamo Bay.
I've come face to face with actual members of the Taliban, actual members of Al Qaeda.
I could tell you all about them, right?
The planning cell, yes, and some of the leadership was in Afghanistan.
But those hijackers came in through our porous borders.
They utilized and abused our weak immigration laws to penetrate our national security and to get on those aircraft.
So, yes, do we need to go reach out and reach out and call somebody every once in a while?
Yes, we do.
But at the same time, the most effective means of securing the homeland is just that.
Having effective immigration laws, effective national security, Fortress America.
steve bannon
This is why we did the first thing, we did the travel ban, right?
About these countries that didn't have control.
By the way, the world's press, Financial Times, Taliban on brink of taking over Afghanistan, as President Felice notes herself on Financial Times, that headline didn't wear well.
Taliban capture Kabul, stunning US as 20 year effort unravels in days.
New York Times didn't stun us, we've been saying this is going to happen.
You're stunned and the elites are stunned because your project absolutely collapsed and now the deplorable sons and daughters are going to clean up your mess.
Taliban seize power as US retreats, that's the Wall Street Journal.
Okay, all the party of Davos.
Oh, they're stunned.
They're so stunned.
Let's bring in Joe Kent.
Joe, you've seen these situations before.
The deplorable sons and daughters are going to have to go back in and pull the bacon out of the fire to save people.
What are the people thinking about right now, about going back in, and what are your thoughts about that?
unidentified
In the United States that we have a professional military that is ready to go back in.
But like you said, this is a horrible predicament that they've been put in.
If we had been honest and truly read the way that the things were going in Afghanistan, we would have realized long ago that this Afghan government that we were building was destined to fail.
And the day after we leave, whether it was back in 2002 when we should have gotten out of there, or it was tomorrow that the Taliban was going to return.
But instead, we put all our eggs in this house of cards that is the Afghan government and all of our reliance on that has led us to this current situation.
It's also put us in the blind as far as intelligence goes.
I think there's an intelligence failure here and there's also an institutional failure.
The intelligence failure comes from us putting all of our intelligence collection platforms with the Afghan government in these conventional military formations and not actually having feelers out amongst the tribal elements.
Our intelligence community got incredibly lazy But also, I think, because the military-industrial complex has slow rolled two administrations.
They did it to the Obama administration.
And then they did to the Trump administration as he tried to get us out.
And then they got an initial victory with Biden when they got him to move the withdrawal date from May to September.
They thought, hey, we're just going to get to slow roll this administration too and stay.
They had no plan to get our troops out.
And now we're going to have to go back.
We're going to have to do hasty planning.
But that's what Special Operations excels at.
We will be able to go in there and to get our people out.
And they have to be given the authorities and the resources to go.
Go in there and do it.
If they have to destroy, if they have to kill to get our folks out, then so be it.
That has to be the priority right now.
steve bannon
Joe, how do people find out?
I know you're running for Congress.
How do people find out more about you?
unidentified
Absolutely.
JoeKentForCongress.com is the website.
That's where they can reach me via email.
There's also a donation tab.
Really appreciate any support they can give.
We're up against Kevin McCarthy and the GOP and the establishment.
I'm going after one of the impeachment voters, one of the traitors that got us in this horrible situation.
steve bannon
Horrible situation.
Joe, thank you very much.
Jack, I know you got to bounce.
Any closing thoughts?
Hopefully we get you back on the 5 o'clock show.
You've done amazing reporting.
This is why human events is a must read.
Everybody in our audience got to get on human events.
Talk to us.
Any closing thoughts?
jack posobiec
Steve, I just want to throw out there again that Biden has completely lost CNN.
You've got Christina Amanpour.
You've got to pull this clip.
She said 20 years of American effort collapsed in a whimper.
Right, and she's talking about the women, the girls of Afghanistan, what's going to happen with the Taliban there.
You need to understand, folks, what's going on in the region.
The Pakistan-China Economic Corridor that is going to be built from Xinjiang, that's where the Uyghurs are, all the way down to Gwadar Bay.
You're going to see containers going through there.
You're going to see pipelines.
You're going to now see the threats on Hong Kong and Taiwan.
This is all being done by design.
Your leaders are walking you into this.
steve bannon
Look, we've said from... Remember, the CCP's number one thing is consolidate the Eurasian landmass.
We've talked about this for months and months and months and months.
jack posobiec
It's the criminals... It's McKinder all over.
steve bannon
It's the... McKinder.
It's the Pakistan criminals running that government.
Today they came out full force after giving them tens and hundreds of billions of dollars.
Yeah, it's great.
You know, you broke America.
It's the criminals, the mullahs in Iran.
It's the Taliban and Al-Qaeda and ISIS, that whole gang, right?
You got Turkey, Erdogan, bad unit.
Now you got Putin thrown in with them, and Putin's going to recognize these guys.
They're controlling the Eurasian landmass, okay?
And I understand, oh, I'm not a neocon.
I'm the last thing from a neocon.
But I also understand reality.
Because unlike most of the guys that yammer about this, I've actually been in those parts of the world, okay?
This is the beginning of a gathering storm, and I've said this from day one, if you do not stand up to this, you do not stand up to the transnational criminal organization, the Chinese Communist Party, We are heading towards a kinetic war, and we're drifting into this just like we drifted into it in the 1930s.
And this one is going to be horrific, because you see the biological weapons they've just been hitting us with from the Wuhan lab?
Oh yeah, that's right, Facebook and Twitter are going to take you down.
With Jack Dorsey, all your guys' days are coming, trust me.
Because we're taking power back over in this country in 2022.
First of all, we're going to stop it dead right now because Biden's imploding.
He has no political capital.
He's a pariah.
He's a feckless, hapless old man sitting in that room.
And remember, the White House thought that was a good photo to put out.
Thought that was a good photo to show the world, to calm the world down about what's happening.
Well, the Global Times thought it was so good, they warned the people of Taiwan, surrender.
Either surrender, or this is what your ally America allows to happen.
Jack, how do people get to you?
You're on fire, brother.
jack posobiec
Yeah, catch me on Twitter, JackPosobiec, P-O-S-O-B-I-E-C, and if Twitter decides to take me down, please get on Getter.
It's smooth.
The update is running amazingly.
You've got a ton of people that have been banned from Twitter, including Congresswoman Greene, who is breaking news on Getter.
If I wasn't on Getter, I would not have seen the readout from MTG.
Uh, the congressman there about what had happened from the White House.
So I'm going to get her now to get my news on Afghanistan.
Think about where that took us just in a few weeks from get her getting off the ground.
steve bannon
Thank God we get it because of the firestorm that the school's opening today.
That's the big, that's the real firestorm.
Okay, Jack, thank you so much.
Talking about the Chinese Communist Party and these hapless elites throughout the world, Natalie Wun is breaking another huge story on National Pulse about German intelligence telling us the WHO was ordered by the Chinese to cover up Wuhan back in January 2020, like we told everybody.
Natalie, we got about like a minute and a half here.
We're gonna hold you over the break.
Tell us what your story is.
unidentified
Sure.
natalie winters
Well, the saying goes that personnel is policy, but I think what we're learning is that Chinese Communist Party approved personnel is also Chinese Communist Party approved policy.
But what we really dig into and also dovetails with a wonderful expose that was out in the Times this weekend is how the people that have been selected to lead the World Health Organization's kind of pandemic operations really have all been hand-selected by the Chinese Communist Party.
And this dovetails Not just with German intelligence reports, but even back from under the Trump administration, DHS reports, State Department reports that the Chinese Communist Party intentionally delayed notifying the world that COVID-19 could spread human to human just so that they could A, get ahead of the rest of the world, but also buy up PPE from various countries so China would be okay, but the rest of the world would suffer.
And I think we're seeing really the harms of that.
We have been for quite some time now.
But really seeing that kind of hit hard now.
steve bannon
Natalie, if you can hang over, I've got a bunch of questions on this through the break.
We're also going to have Cleta Mitchell talking about what's happening in Georgia on election fraud.
Also a big conference this weekend on voter integrity in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
A lot going on there.
We'll return with Natalie Winters in a moment.
Remember, this is the Biden administration.
You're seeing it collapse in real time.
Before your eyes.
This is going to collapse and there's no bottom to what his approval rating is going to be.
There's no bottom.
Because moderates, Democrats, Independents are now seeing what the MAGA and America First group has known from the beginning.
He's illegitimate and we're paying the price.
Elections have consequences.
Stolen elections have massive consequences.
And you're seeing it right now.
Short break.
Back with Natalie Winters of National Pulse 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.

Conservatives have been helpless to do anything about it until now.
Join Getter, the social media platform that supports free speech and opposes cancel culture.
On Getter, you can express your political beliefs without fear of Silicon Valley liberals coming after you.
Getter is led by former Trump advisor and War Room co-host Jason Miller, who saw what big tech did to President Trump and decided to fight back.
Getter is the fastest growing social media platform in history, with 2 million users, including prominent conservatives like Mike Pompeo, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Steve Join Getter.
It's in the App Store, the Google Play Store and at getter.com.
Longer posts, longer videos, sharper and clearer pictures.
And unlike the Silicon Valley oligarchs, Getter will never sell your data.
Send a message today.
Join Getter.
It's time to cancel, cancel culture.
steve bannon
Okay, the reason that promo is so important, if you weren't on Getter over the weekend, you wouldn't have seen the big news that Marjorie Taylor Greene broke about this conference call they had yesterday with the senior leaders, you know, Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Austin, General Austin, Secretary of Defense, Blinken, the hapless, pencil-neck Secretary of State.
You wouldn't have heard it and seen it.
That's why you've got to get on Getter now because they've been shut down.
They shut us down.
Twitter and these guys, And YouTube, all of it, Google, banned us, banned us, banned us, banned us, shut us down consistently about the Wuhan lab.
And now you're seeing, a year and a half later, it's all coming out.
Wall Street Journal today, I believe they call it a gain-of-function, which is, gain-of-function is a fancy scientific term, we've used it from the beginning so you knew the nomenclature, for a bioweapon.
Weaponizing these viruses.
Natalie Winters, give us your assessment of, is there a cover-up at NIH?
Is Collins and Fauci covering things up?
We need a full forensic audit of Afghanistan, we need a full forensic audit of the Fed, we need a full forensic audit of NIH.
unidentified
Yeah, the full forensic audit of the Wuhan lab.
natalie winters
You took the words right out of my mouth.
But no, you know, we're sitting here criticizing the Chinese Communist Party for their cover-up of COVID-19's origins, but I think that you're seeing a very similar play coming out of, of course, the taxpayer-funded National Institutes of Health.
You were talking about a very recent Wall Street Journal article entitled, The World Needs to Know What Happened at the Wuhan Lab.
It was penned by Dr. Mark Siegel and also the former CDC director.
Dr. Robert Redfield and in their own words, they say and I quote quote that's gain of function and quote while Referencing the type of studies that were being conducted by Fauci funded researchers in tandem with people at the Wuhan Institute of Virology And they go on to detail these kind of humanized mice models Which is something that really dovetails again with national pulse reporting We've put out a story about a month ago about how dr Sher Jung Lee who is of course kind of the point person on
bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. She gave a 20-30 minute presentation documenting the type of research that she does at her facility.
And in addition to listing the NIH as one of her longtime collaborators, along with Peter Doshak, and of course, Ralph Baric, she actually offers a personal thank you to none other than Dr. Ralph Baric for him giving her these humanized mice models to conduct these experiments. So, and again, this also comes on the heels of the NIH grant database being taken down, unable to search, of course, that very controversial grant to EcoHealth Alliance was also taken down
as part of that total wipe. So this really is a cover-up that is.
Comparable to, I would say, that of the Chinese Communist Party.
And I think it's not so much that big tech is silencing us because they think we're crazy.
They're silencing us to defend the people who their allegiance lies with, whether that be the Biden regime, these scientism elites over at the NIH like Fauci and Collins, or even people like Dr. Tedros over at the World Health Organization.
So it's no surprise that for over a year now, They've been silencing us, but I really do believe that the truth will and continue to come out.
steve bannon
It's going to continue to come out because they've got a hammer like you at National Pulse.
Raheem Kassam, the publisher, and a hammer like you is going to be relentless.
Natalie Winters is not going to give up.
She's going to continue to hammer.
And the truth is coming out.
We're going to hold people responsible and accountable for what they did.
What did they do?
When did they do it?
Right?
And why did they do it?
Natalie Winters, how do people get to you on social media?
How do they follow your reporting?
natalie winters
Thank you.
I am Natalie G. Winters on all platforms, including Getter, which is my personal favorite.
steve bannon
Natalie, thank you very much for taking time away today to join us.
By the way, Global Times, the mouth, the tabloid mouth, but you got the People's Daily, the broadsheet, the Global Times is the tabloid.
That's the one that's come after me personally time and time and time again because they hate the fact that I'm one of the leaders of the Super Hawks.
That calls them a transnational criminal organization.
We're going to back Lao Bai Jing to take them down root and branch.
They're saying today the people of Taiwan better be ready for an invasion and they better be ready to surrender because the Americans will not defend you.
And they're pointing towards Kabul right now.
I want to pivot now and talk about, we've got to get to the bottom of this illegitimate election, this illegal election, this illegitimate president.
The way we're going to do it is full forensic audits.
I want to bring in now Cleta Mitchell, one of the lawyers who's the leader of this entire movement.
Cleta, give us an update, you know, a Friday night dump on a major ruling in Atlanta by this judge.
We've got about a minute and a half here, we're going to hold you through the break.
What happened on Friday in this court?
cleta mitchell
Well, Judge Amaro is the judge who's hearing this citizen's lawsuit to audit Fulton County, have a full forensic audit of Fulton County, and getting the ballots.
And we hadn't heard from him since June 25th, and he set a hearing for September 25th.
I wish it were August 25th, but he set a hearing.
He's going to dispose of all the motions at that time and hopefully proceed to giving access to the actual ballots, which is what we That's what he said in June he was going to do, and hopefully we'll have a schedule to do that.
But he's going to let everybody file whatever motions they want, he's going to hear all of it, and I think that then we're going to proceed to the full audit, the forensic audit, as he has previously said he would do.
steve bannon
Real quick, he's pretty heroic.
He's the one judge in the country that's kind of been even-handed about this and let these things go forward.
Is that not correct, in your opinion?
cleta mitchell
That's absolutely true.
Up until now, there has not been a single judge that has allowed any sort of evidentiary hearing in any of the Trump lawsuits or the lawsuits that were brought with regard to the November 3rd election.
We filed a 64-page complaint in Georgia with over 8,000 pages of documents supporting our And we never got a judge appointed, so we never got to present the evidence in court.
Obviously it took a judge in Maricopa County to force the turning over of materials for the audit in Maricopa County, but of course now the county, which is Republican by the way, they have stonewalled and they haven't complied with his order, so hopefully they'll go back and try to enforce the subpoena.
steve bannon
Cleta, just hang on for a second.
We're in a return.
We're going to talk about why the 25th of September and we're also going to talk about what's happening in Virginia.
