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 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. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Biden reportedly told his advisors he wanted to avoid tragic and humiliating images like those from the fall of Saigon after the humiliating U.S. | ||
| withdrawal from Vietnam. | ||
| Biden now has images as part of his legacy that are arguably far worse. | ||
| Beyond the issue of the U.S. | ||
| withdrawal is how the U.S. | ||
| has withdrawn incompetently and ignoring those who for months have talked about the need to get Americans and allies out before leaving. | ||
| Yesterday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken kept changing the subject to the larger issue of the continued U.S. | ||
| presence, refusing to engage with me in detail about how the withdrawal has been conducted, with Americans and U.S. | ||
| allies fearing for their lives as Afghanistan fell in just days. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That status quo was not sustainable. | |
| Like it or not, there was an agreement that the forces would come out on May 1st. | ||
| From the perspective of our strategic competitors around the world, there's nothing they would like more than to see us in Afghanistan for another 5, 10, 20 years. | ||
| It's simply not in the national interest. | ||
| You keep changing the subject to whether or not we should be there forever and I'm not talking about that. | ||
| I'm talking about whether or not this exit was done properly. | ||
| Taking out all the service members before those Americans and those Afghan translators could get out. | ||
| That's what I'm talking about. | ||
| And then you have to send people back in. | ||
| That shows, that's a definition of, oh we shouldn't have taken those troops out because now we have to send twice as many back in. | ||
| And also the president talking about that the United States was prepared for every contingency. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It sure does not look like it this morning when you see those images. | |
| Well, and you're exactly right. | ||
| Most Americans did support a withdrawal from Afghanistan. | ||
| An April poll showed 75% of Americans supported that withdrawal. | ||
| I obviously didn't. | ||
| Most of the foreign policy community obviously didn't. | ||
| Because we had 2,500 people there, 3,000 people there that were able To do their job, just like we had 3,500 people in Syria that were able to hold back the Iranians, the Russians, the Syrians, ISIS, Iran, and for some reason Donald Trump decided to yank those troops out of that country. | ||
| And this idea that there's never a good time to withdraw, well, The Commander-in-Chief is right. | ||
| There was never going to be a good time to withdraw from Afghanistan and I would argue that If we have 50,000 troops in Japan since 1945, 35,000 troops in Germany since 1945, over 30,000 troops in South Korea since 1953, if we've had 12,000 troops in Italy since 1945, and if we have just a fraction of that, 2,500 troops in Afghanistan, | ||
| and an American troop hadn't been killed in the past 18 months. | ||
| Seems like a false deadline to me, and I swear I can't find a military person who thinks this was the right thing to do. | ||
| But, that being said, Joe Biden ran to be President of the United States. | ||
| He ran to get America out of Afghanistan. | ||
| People voted for him. | ||
| I don't think they voted for him to get the troops out of Afghanistan. | ||
| Maybe a few did. | ||
| But it's not like he didn't promise that he was going to do this, so there's never a good time to withdraw. | ||
| But Joe Biden had promised the American people he was going to withdraw from Afghanistan. | ||
| But there's a right way to withdraw. | ||
| And the President can say that he planned for every contingency. | ||
| But he knows that's not true, the White House knows that's not true, and the American people know that's not true. | ||
| And that's how a 75% proposition has devolved into a political disaster for this White House. | ||
| They need to turn things around, and the first thing they need to do is they need to save those who helped save our troops over the past 20 years. | ||
| We just can't keep abandoning allies in the field. | ||
| Donald Trump abandoned the Kurds. | ||
| Okay, let's go ahead. | ||
| This cut went too long. | ||
| I wanted that cut earlier. | ||
| We're live. | ||
| We're in the War Room. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 17 August, Year of Our Lord 2021. | ||
| You see Jay Tapper at the beginning, who spent, I think, a year in country in Afghanistan, wrote the book, The Outpost, with one of the rifle platoons that was up there in the valley. | ||
| Financial Times, the tip sheet of the Party of Davos, chaos engulfs Kabul Airport amid panic to flee Taliban rule. | ||
| At least five people reported killed in desperation to escape. | ||
| Fears for women under literal interpretation of Sharia law. | ||
| And finally, new Islamist leaders call for humility after taking control. | ||
| The New York Times facing Afghan chaos. | ||
| Biden defends exit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Both. | |
| It's very important here that all three pictures, that picture is the one that's going to the people on top of the C-17, I think. | ||
| Right that picture the same picture on the front of the New York Times the paper record of a beloved Republic and of course the Wall Street Journal chaos engulfs Afghan withdrawal withdrawal the same picture. | ||
| That's that's the photo that they're going to continue to show besides the the helicopters at the roots. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| We got a lot to go through today and we're going to get to The firestorm brewing at our schools with going back to school. | ||
| We're going to have Mike Lindell later on a cyber symposium. | ||
| We've got Norbin Laden from Europe, John Solomon, breaking news. | ||
| A lot of stuff going on. | ||
| I wanted to turn though first to Marjorie Taylor Greene on a couple of topics. | ||
| Particularly, she's the watchdog in all over this, basically $5 trillion they're trying to jam through. | ||
| Just $5 trillion they're trying to jam through with spending. | ||
| Remember, with the debt limit, the debt ceiling says you can't spend a penny, because we're already playing three-card money right now. | ||
| They're going to the tomato cans in back of the Federal Reserve to find the cash. | ||
| to actually pay for things until mid-September when they all come back. | ||
| And here's the scam. | ||
| We have all the leverage. | ||
| Just remember, we have 1,000% of the leverage. | ||
| They cannot do anything until they get that debt ceiling raised. | ||
| And you're going to see all the collaborationists, the collaborator Republicans, 19 senators who voted for this fiasco, the 1.2 trade, which leads into that. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene is the watchdog. | ||
| She's on top of this. | ||
| We'll get to her in a second. | ||
| But I've got to ask you, since you were the first one out, Think on your Getter account. | ||
| Thank God for Getter, because you can't get blocked. | ||
| I know you're back off of probation on Twitter. | ||
| But you reported this the other day in real time. | ||
| Broke huge news on Getter about what happened on that call. | ||
| Talked to me after the President's. | ||
| You were the first one to call for his impeachment. | ||
| You've been all over this. | ||
| You heard this speech yesterday. | ||
| He flies in from Camp David after that horrible picture they had of him like with the tiny arms sitting up there in Camp David by himself. | ||
| Then he goes right back. | ||
| Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| Your thoughts assessment. | ||
| Thoughts and assessment of where we stand right now in this Afghanistan fiasco. | ||
| Well, everybody's seen what's happened. | ||
| It's over. | ||
| They've allowed the Taliban to take over. | ||
| As a matter of fact, they handed it to them. | ||
| And it's not just the Taliban, Steve. | ||
| It's ISIS. | ||
| And that's what I heard on that phone call that shocked me. | ||
| There were two things that shocked me. | ||
| One, that there were 5,000 terrorist prisoners released from a camp, set free, just allowed to go free. | ||
| And then two, we haven't heard about ISIS since President Trump defeated ISIS. | ||
| But here on that phone call, I heard about ISIS being involved with the Taliban as they were rapidly descending on the city and taking over Afghanistan. | ||
| So you have to imagine, here was my thoughts. | ||
| Here we have people being held in prison that were at the Capitol on January six. | ||
| They're being treated like political prisoners of war. | ||
| But yet we have President Biden and Kamala Harris. | ||
| Don't forget her. | ||
| Hold her accountable. | ||
| And this entire administration that allowed terrorists that will chop your head off, throw gay people off of buildings. | ||
| They will cover women in burkas and shove them in homes and treat them like slaves, never to be seen from again. | ||
| This is the administration that allowed these people to go free and take over the entire country. | ||
| And it's unbelievable. | ||
| It's an embarrassment. | ||
| And if President Biden doesn't resign, I am working up articles of impeachment that I will be pushing onto the House floor and demanding all of my colleagues sign. | ||
| This is too much, it's gone too far, and the insults are more than we can take. | ||
| I gotta ask you, you had Milley, Chairman of Joint Chiefs, you had Blinken, Secretary of State, and you had Austin, General Austin, Secretary of Defense. | ||
| You had his three biggest hitters on there. | ||
| Did you get a sense in that call as they laid out the case that they were prepared for what happened and that there's any contingency plan except for taking the sons and daughters of the deplorables and throwing them back into harm's way to fix their mess? | ||
| Did you get any sense That they have a grip, forget Biden, but that the guys around him have a grip of exactly what the situation is, how we got here, and what they're going to do to get us out without shedding more American blood. | ||
| No, this was an apology phone call. | ||
| It was their talking points. | ||
| It was an unclassified phone call with Congress that I'm sure Politico and CNN reporters were listening in on. | ||
| This was unbelievable. | ||
| If President Trump had been in office, he would have called Congress back to Washington, D.C. | ||
| We would have been briefed before it had happened. | ||
| President Trump would have been fully in charge. | ||
| And this debacle, this catastrophe that is handing Afghanistan back to the Taliban and worse, probably to China, that is if Turkey doesn't have its way. | ||
| But there's a lot to be said there for what's happening in Afghanistan. | ||
| But no, this was an apology phone call. | ||
| It was talking points. | ||
| They didn't care about answering our questions. | ||
| And honestly, the only thing that they care about is making sure our military is woke and apparently flying the pride flag over embassies across the world. | ||
| So no, they know you're weak and look like a joke. | ||
| I think, I know this is a topic you're very concerned about, but there's a report today from mainstream media, there's 5,000 to 10,000 Americans still in Afghanistan, and there's some order that they don't have a priority, that they're taking out Afghans that work with us, prioritized over Americans, that Americans don't, American citizens don't have priority. | ||
| I want your comments about that first, and then about where they're sending these refugees. | ||
| What about the five to 10,000? | ||
| Did they mention any fact that we have maybe 10,000 Americans still in country? | ||
| No, they didn't mention any of that. | ||
| And as a matter of fact, I refused to sign a letter with my freshman class while they were writing a letter to beg Joe Biden to please bring the Afghans that helped the United States out of Afghanistan. | ||
| And my comments back were, this needs to be America first. | ||
| This needs to be all Americans first. | ||
| This needs to be the American military first, because after all, we've lost over 2,000 American military in these past 18 years in Afghanistan. | ||
| Over 20,000 of our soldiers were maimed and wounded for the rest of their lives, and we've spent nearly $2 trillion. | ||
| So any letter written to the president, this is what I told my freshman class in our group chat, is that it needs to say, Dear Joe Biden, resign, signed the freshman class Republican members of the House. | ||
| That's the only letter I will sign to Joe Biden, and that's why I refuse to sign that letter to them. | ||
| No, it's appalling, and all this crying on television by our media, crying about what's happening in Afghanistan. | ||
| Hey, we need to put America first for once. | ||
| We need to demand that our southern border be closed because all of these terrorists over in Afghanistan, do you know what they're thinking about? | ||
| They're very excited for the 20 year anniversary of September 11th, Steve. | ||
| And now we have a wide open southern border where they can just walk right in and make sure that it's a big party on September 11th to honor all of their causes, to honor their future caliphate that they want for the entire world. | ||
| And to honor Osama bin Laden, that never forget that Pakistan harbored and hid from the United States. | ||
| So these are the things that people on television and the media should be talking about. | ||
| And they should definitely be talking about the over $1 trillion worth of rare earth minerals in Afghanistan that China wants, and the Green New Deal that the Democrats are going to pass next week if we don't stop it, that will force all of America to drive electric vehicles that will be run by Chinese, communist Chinese batteries made in China, because America does not compete on the battery market, and their batteries are made with rare earth minerals. | ||

|
So people need to start looking through the ball. | |
| Hang on. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Come back. | ||
| Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene is the only person out there connecting dots. | ||
| She's connecting dots about the raw materials in Afghanistan, the Chinese Communist Party, the whole Green New Deal fiasco, and this $1.2 trillion topped with $3.5 trillion. | ||
| She's in the middle of the fight, and she's going to return to the war room to walk exactly through her logic for this. | ||
| Next. | ||

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. | ||
| Nineteen cowardly Senate Republicans joined Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats to pass a so-called infrastructure bill that's really the first step in Biden's communization of America. | ||
| Now it goes to the House where Republicans need to stay united and stop this bill. | ||
| Now Democrats are tying this to the $3.5 trillion budget full of woke identity politics and AOC's pro-China Green New Deal. | ||
| These America Last bills will usher in amnesty for illegals, higher taxes, skyrocketing inflation, and destroy American energy independence. | ||
| It's all a lie. | ||
| The infrastructure bill just isn't infrastructure. | ||
| And the budget passes the Green New Deal. | ||
| It's time for Republicans to stay united, stand strong, and vote no. | ||
| Okay, we're back in the war room. | ||
| That's the first time anybody's laid out the 19, we call them collaborators. | ||
| Okay, you got a regime, you got the Biden regime that's in freefall, total freefall. | ||
| When you got Morning Joe and Jake Tapper and these guys saying, hey, this thing's out of control. | ||
| You got the major newspapers all support him, the Party of Davis papers, got the horrible pictures up there and the thing of chaos. | ||
| He's in freefall. | ||
| It's not about getting out of Afghanistan. | ||
| Everybody made that decision. | ||
| It's about how you do it. | ||
| And what do you do to make sure that you can keep breaking the caliphate of ISIS, Taliban, etc. | ||
| You've got the pipe hitters that can go back in instantaneously. | ||
| Now you're sending troops back in to save them. | ||
| Okay, we're going to go to Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| Breaking news. | ||
| Pentagon briefing. | ||
| The photo of the 800 people on the plane? | ||
| Only 150 Americans. | ||
| And the question is, where are they taking these? | ||
| The people that helped us in Afghanistan, the commanders, the interpreters, all that, gotta stay in region. | ||
| You got bases in Qatar, you got bases in Kuwait, you got bases in UAE, you've got bases in Saudi Arabia, we've got tons of allies, Iraq, we've got people all over that region. | ||
| No need for anybody to come to the good old United States of America. | ||
| Everybody take a deep breath, let's get them out of there, let's get them out of Afghanistan, but no need to come to Wisconsin or Texas. | ||
| Okay, and particularly, why are you taking planes off with only 150 Americans? | ||
| The question's gotta be, if there's 5 to 10,000 Americans, I would call those people potential hostages. | ||
| Okay, I'm gonna turn to Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| We've only got so much time. | ||
| You laid it out right there. | ||
| You take it. | ||
| You're the only person up here that's fighting tooth and nail on this $1.2 trillion, which Nancy Pelosi is radicalizing. | ||
| The collaborators teed her up so she can radicalize it even more in the House. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| You're absolutely right. | ||
| Well, what everyone needs to understand, and I want to lay this out very clearly, is that Nancy Pelosi, because the progressives are pushing her to do so, has tied the two bills together. | ||
| The $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill is tied together with the $3.5 trillion budget. | ||
| Now, here is what's critical to understand. | ||
| Number one, that infrastructure bill should have never passed in the House. | ||
| The Republican senators in the Senate that sold America out by passing that infrastructure bill are to blame. | ||
| So it should have never happened in the first place. | ||
| It's not infrastructure. | ||
| It is a launching pad for the Green New Deal. | ||
| And the Green New Deal has so much bad in it, it will forever change America's economy, and we will never recover. | ||
| Because don't forget, everyone. | ||
| Every single time the government passes a law and creates a program, it never undoes it. | ||
| So once this starts to happen, there's no turning back. | ||
| This is also why Nancy Pelosi is making this her legacy. | ||
| She knows that she will no longer be speaker very soon. | ||
| And so she is pushing through this agenda, which will lead us down the road to communism and America will change forever. | ||
| Here's what I need all of you to do. | ||
| I need you to get on board with me. | ||
| I've already told almost every single Republican in the GOP conference in the House that I will primary them and personally spend money against them in their primary if they vote for the infrastructure bill or the $3.5 trillion budget. | ||
| And the reason why is we have, unfortunately, weak Republicans in the House that see this infrastructure bill as a big temptation for them because they think they can go home and tell the people in their moderate districts They worked across the aisle with bipartisanship and past infrastructure, but that is not what this is. | ||
| There is no excuse for any Republican in the House to hand over America to AOC and the radical communist squad, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and the rest of them. | ||
| This is what Nancy Pelosi is going for. | ||
| So here's what I want you to understand. | ||
| Here's how you can help. | ||
| Number one, if you're willing to help me donate, if you're willing to donate and help me primary challenge any Rhino Republicans that do this, please go to the saspac.com and donate a small donation. | ||
| It's a big help. | ||
| S-A-S-S-P-A-C.com. | ||
| That's my leadership pack. | ||
| And that's where I will make sure that we take back the House with strong America First conservative Republicans. | ||
| Number two, here's what you need to understand. | ||
| The Green New Deal is dangerous for America because it completely destroys our American energy independence. | ||
| It puts us into reliance on electric vehicles forced by law. | ||
| By 2030, every single car and truck in the United States will be an electric vehicle. | ||
| That means all your cars and trucks and everything you drive will require an electric battery to run. | ||
| Now, here's the problem. | ||
| America is nowhere in competition in this market. | ||
| As a matter of fact, from the beginning point to mining the minerals, all the way to producing the lithium batteries, We range from 0 to 10 percent market share. | ||
| That means America can barely compete. | ||
| But China dominates the entire world in the battery market. | ||
| They dominate over 80 percent of the rare earth mineral mines all over the world. | ||
| They also dominate the battery market by over 75 percent. | ||
| Now here's what's critical about Afghanistan. | ||
| Which you just saw Joe Biden, who knows all about the Green New Deal, who fully understands and wants to pass it so that all of America and all Americans have to rely on communist Chinese batteries to drive your cars. | ||
| He knows that there's over $1 trillion of rare earth mineral mines in Afghanistan. | ||
| And I want you to know that he completely walked away. | ||
| So you need to understand exactly who Joe Biden is. | ||
| He's exactly who we've always known him to be. | ||
| Hunter Biden made all those deals in Ukraine. | ||
| Joe Biden was in on it. | ||
| to get in to own those rare earth mineral rights. | ||
| So you need to understand exactly who Joe Biden is. | ||
| He's exactly who we've always known him to be. | ||
| Hunter Biden made all those deals in Ukraine. | ||
| Joe Biden was in on it. | ||
| Hunter Biden's laptop showed that Joe Biden and his brother, James Biden, were doing deals with China, doing deals with businesses over there. | ||
| Joe Biden is exactly the same man then as he is now. | ||
| Joe Biden handed over Afghanistan back to the terrorists to run that country so that those rare earth mineral mines are sitting there waiting for China to be able to negotiate and own control of. | ||
| Now here's the issue. | ||
| Turkey is also trying to get control of Afghanistan. | ||
| Because Turkey wants the caliphate, they want the rise of ISIS to come back, and they have their long-term religious goals of Islam, which is very dangerous for every single one of us. | ||
| They also, many strong Islamists see China as an enemy because the way China treats people of Islam in their country, the Uighurs, they have them locked up in prison, never to be seen or heard So there is some fighting there over who will control these rare earth mineral mines. | ||
| But the key thing that you need to understand is America should never have to rely on China or any other country for our energy needs. | ||
| Americans should never be forced by law from Congress and the President It's forcing us to have to drive certain types of vehicles using only one type of energy source, which is an energy source that we can barely compete in. | ||
| Just last year, America was energy independent with oil and gas, thankfully because of President Trump. | ||
| We have to fight these two bills, and here's why I'm pushing so hard we have a chance. | ||
| You see, Nancy Pelosi has a little problem right now. | ||
| The squad is pushing her on the infrastructure bill. | ||
| It doesn't go far enough. | ||
| They want more communist agenda items in there. | ||
| So they're saying they're not going to vote for the infrastructure bill. | ||
| Then we have nine very moderate Democrats that are saying they have a problem with the $3.5 trillion budget. | ||
| Now the reason why they have a problem is the budget goes too far and it spends too much money. | ||
| So they're saying they're not going to vote for it. | ||
| Here's what Republicans can do in the House. | ||
| Our entire GOP conference, we are only down by three votes. | ||
| If our entire Republican conference can hold together and vote as one block, vote no for both bills and not give in by a single vote and make sure every single Republican is present, And voting no on both of those bills, we have a chance to stop it. | ||
| This is a one-time chance to stop the Green New Deal, and it has to be done right now. | ||
| Here's why I'm telling you. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi has called us back to Washington next Monday on August 23rd. | ||
| We have to report there because it's next week she wants to pass the $1.2 trillion infrastructure and the $3.5 trillion budget. | ||
| I am begging you, every single person that listens to this show, I am begging you, take down this phone number. | ||
| It's extremely important. | ||
| 3-1-2-1. | ||
| This is the Congressional switchboard. | ||
| I need you to call every single Republican member in the House and I need you to tell them they better vote no to the infrastructure bill and the budget bill. | ||
| They better be there. | ||
| Do not vote present. | ||
| They have to vote no. | ||
| Because we have to stop the Green New Deal. | ||
| We have to stop this lie. | ||
| It's not infrastructure. | ||
| We have to stop this $3.5 trillion budget. | ||
| And the only way we can do it is if every single Republican shows up, fights for once in their life, and votes no for both of these bills. | ||
| And you tell them that if they do not do it, we are going to show up in their district. | ||
| We are going to primary them and remove them from Congress because we've had enough. | ||
| Congressman Greene, could you stay over just for a few minutes on the other side? | ||
| I know you're jammed for time, but just a short commercial break. | ||
| We just got a couple of questions to ask you about this. | ||
| Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene, next in the War Room. | ||
| John Solomon, Norbin Lawton, all next. | ||

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. | ||
| Okay, at the Pentagon briefing, pretty shocking news. | ||
| 5,000 to 9,000 Afghanis coming to the United States every day now, according to the Pentagon, what they're doing on their airlift to the U.S. | ||
| Not staying in the region, at least the way it's described there. | ||
| Not staying at the base at Qatar, not staying at UAE, not staying at all our great allies. | ||
| We're pumping billions and billions of dollars, tens of billions, hundreds of billions of dollars into the region. | ||
| Trillions of dollars, actually, when you count it all up, trillions. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Not staying in the region. | ||
| At least according to that, 5,000 to 9,000 per day. | ||
| The reporter said, hey, we hear it's up to 100,000 coming to the United States. | ||
| That was not blown back by the pandemic. | ||
| We can't give you a definitive number now, but that number was not refuted. | ||
| So we're gonna spend more time in this, the Biden debacle. | ||
| One person calling him out is Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| Real quickly, I know you're pressed for time, you gotta go, but two things. | ||
| You were very complimentary about Leader McCarthy and how he comported himself on this call the other day when he was lighting guys up about this Afghan fiasco. | ||
| My question to you in this $1.2 trillion, because that's everything, you've got to stop that, particularly as it's being more radicalized by Nancy Pelosi, and I agree with you, this is her swan song. | ||
| Where is leadership in this? | ||
| Where is the Republican conference and where is leadership in this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Nowhere. | |
| I haven't heard from the leadership from our Republican conference. | ||
| I haven't heard anything. | ||
| I haven't heard whipping of votes. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| They should be calling us nonstop. | ||
| We should be meeting. | ||
| I think we should meet every single day. | ||
| I'm a business owner, so I can't comprehend why our GOP conference doesn't communicate constantly to stop the communist agenda of the Democrats. | ||
| It blows my mind. | ||
| But, Steve, I will give credit where credit is due. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy stood up very strong. | ||
| And he let those guys have it. | ||
| I mean, he chewed them out and I was very grateful to hear that from him on that call because no one else was doing it. | ||
| So I'm just one of those people, you know, I'll say when someone does a great job and I really do think he did a great job on that. | ||
| But where leadership is failing in the GOP conference is they are not pushing back and holding our conference together to stop this agenda from the Democrats. | ||
| And I just want to give you a few more things everyone needs to understand. | ||
| This $3.5 billion budget is an Antifa jobs program. | ||
| It creates something called the Climate Corps, and that's like a little army that will run around and write you tickets if you are spewing too much carbon or eating too many hamburgers. | ||
| So this is something that American tax dollars will pay for. | ||
| It gives 40% climate investment to disadvantaged communities, as if climate seems to be racist or something, which is complete insanity. | ||
| Here's what everyone needs to know. | ||
| While our border is being completely invaded, illegal aliens, terrorists, and everybody else coming across the border, the $3.5 trillion budget gives amnesty for millions of illegals, not just DACA, but that's the people coming across the border right now and our military giving them free plane rides anywhere they want to go in the country. | ||
| The 1.2 trillion doesn't have one penny for the border wall, correct? | ||
| Not one cent? | ||
| The 19 Republicans voted for it. | ||
| 1.2 trillion, not one penny? | ||
| Yeah, 19 trader Republicans did not make sure that the border wall was completed in the 1.2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill. | ||
| Yeah, those 19 Republicans allowed an infrastructure bill to pass You know who should have had an infrastructure bill? | ||
| President Trump, because he's owned and operated a construction company and is successful in that industry. | ||
| So I think our president, that is an expert in construction, should have had an infrastructure bill. | ||
|

|
But the first two years... Hold on, here's the scam. | |
| We had to pay for it. | ||
| The Congressional Budget Office and the New York Times are saying the $1.2 trillion has $286 billion to $400 billion. | ||
| It's not paid for. | ||
| That was not the Trump program. | ||
| The Trump program says things have got to be paid for. | ||
| That means you have to raise the debt ceiling. | ||
| This bill's dead on arrival if people bind together and follow the lead of Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene. | ||
| That's why everyone needs to call Congress. | ||

| Call them and tell them to vote no. | ||
| And if you want a primary, Rhino, donate to SASPAC, S-A-S-P-A-C dot com. | ||
| OK, let's get all this up in the live chat and up on the screen. | ||
| Hang on, but I want to break this down for two. | ||
| You're telling me that leadership, there's not a series of town halls or people are not messaging every second of every day. | ||
| You're called back next Monday. | ||
| She's going to force a vote. | ||
| And by the way, the moderate Democrats, the seven moderate, sent the letter in the squad. | ||
| When they call that vote, they're going to vote for it, no matter how much they moan about it, right? | ||
| So the point is, why are we not every day... Are guys out on junkets? | ||
| Are they on a vacation? | ||
| Why are they every day not hammering at town halls and getting the message out about How awful this 1.2 train is, and obviously the 3.5 train is beyond comprehension. | ||
| But how, why are they not out every day getting messages from leadership, from McCarthy and his team, to thwart this? | ||
| Just, and by the way, the way you thwart it is just put the truth out. | ||
| You don't have to be partisan about it. | ||
| Just walk through what Marjorie Taylor Greene's doing. | ||
| Why is that not happening, Congressman? | ||
| Because most members of Congress are not qualified, Steve, and that's why we're nearly $30 trillion in debt. | ||
| We're run by people that couldn't run a company, a small business. | ||
| Our government is run by people that couldn't show up and work a full-time job like most Americans do. | ||
| And it disgusts me. | ||
| We should be fighting back every single day. | ||
| You know, Republicans would never lose another election if they actually showed up and did the job like they campaign on the campaign trail. | ||
| And if they followed through on their promises with actions and not just words, then we wouldn't be in the shape we're in. | ||
| Republicans had their chance under the first two years under President Trump to do everything right, but it was the feckless leadership of Paul Ryan and the feckless leadership of Mitch McConnell is why we are sitting right where we are right now. | ||
| This is why there's so many Afghans on airplanes that Americans are sitting over their left in Afghanistan. | ||
| It is beyond words. | ||
| It's too much for me, and it infuriates me. | ||
| And this is why I go to Washington, D.C., and I do not care about what my leadership says. | ||
| I do not care about what the media says. | ||
| I show up and I say, I will primary you if you vote yes for the infrastructure or the budget. And this is why I show up and I say we need to do our jobs and we need to show the American people that we're worth voting for. Otherwise, they're not going to vote for us. We're not going to take back the House. They're just going to stay at home and say we're mad about elections and we're going to fix it. | ||
| And until you Republicans get your act together, we're not voting for you. And that's where we are. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I can't get that across to the people I work with. | |
| I want to talk about the SASPAC, just because I know you've got to bounce. | ||
| It's pretty extraordinary. | ||
| You're a sitting member of Congress, and you're a freshman. | ||
| You're saying that you're going to go out and raise money, and you're going to primary sitting members of Congress. | ||
| I just want to make sure this is clear. | ||
| You're going to primary your colleagues if they don't vote to stop this $1.2 trillion bill. | ||
| Is that what we're hearing? | ||
| I just want to make sure it's clear. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And let me make it very clear. | ||
| I'm not just a freshman member of Congress. | ||
| I'm a very proud American woman, and I've raised more money. | ||
| I've set records as a freshman member of Congress with fundraising, and I've hardly made one single phone call, Steve. | ||
| And so when I sit down and I hit the phones and I explain to big donors exactly what Republicans will be doing to them, If they do not fight and stop this infrastructure and budget bill, well, you better bet I will raise so much money, and I will make sure that I change the GOP conference. | ||
| And that is what I'm aiming to do. | ||
| You see, I can tell you right now, there's two lists that I keep in my pocket. | ||
| It's the 10 Republicans that voted to impeach President Trump, and it's the 11 Republicans that voted to kick me off committees. | ||
| And you see, I know for a fact that we have problems in our GOP conference and I want Republicans to win. | ||
| I want to take back the House more than anyone because I'm a competitor and I hate to lose. | ||
| But I refuse to take back the House with Republicans that will not fight for the American people and that want to hold hands with Democrats and sing kumbaya and brag about bipartisanship while America burns to the ground. | ||
| So it's time to step up to the plate and this is what our people want. | ||
| This is what 75 million Americans want. | ||
| They are fed up with the names and just the simple campaign promises and the consultants that make all the money. | ||
| It's time to actually do the job, and it's time to start doing it right now. | ||
| One last time. | ||
| What is the PAC? | ||
| Give us the PAC. | ||
| I think I want it all up in the live chats. | ||
| Just give us how to get access to your PAC. | ||
| It's SASPAC. | ||
| Save America, Stop Socialism PAC. | ||
| S-A-S-S-P-A-C. | ||
| S-A-S-S-P-A-C dot com. | ||
| If you donate to this leadership pack, we will be making sure that we're holding Congress accountable and getting the right Republicans in that will do the job and put America first for once. | ||
| Biggest thing I also need everyone to do is call Congress and tell them they better vote no. | ||
| And that phone number is 202-224-3121. | ||
| I don't care about my name. | ||
| It's not about who I am. | ||
| This is about the American people. | ||
| This is the only reason I left my great life to run for Congress and do this horrible job, is to make sure that we save our country. | ||
| But I can't do it by myself. | ||
| Honestly, I can't do it. | ||
| It's the people, and I'm relying on you. | ||
| The people can change it, and I believe in you, the people, more than I believe in myself and more than I believe in anyone else. | ||
| I believe when the people of this country step up and get involved, And you really find out what's going on, you can stop it and make a difference. | ||
| And then we don't have to see some old man on television leaving Americans over there in some horrid country like Afghanistan. | ||
| And we don't have to hear about refugees being brought into our country, leading to the likes of Ilhan Omar becoming members of Congress one day. | ||
| So America, listen, please, please do your job. | ||
| Help me hold Congress accountable. | ||
| And I'll be forever grateful because we have a country to save, and it's for our children and our grandchildren. | ||
| And thank you, Steve. | ||
| You have the best show. | ||
| Honestly, this is the best show and the best people. | ||
| So thank you. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you, Congressman Greene. | ||
| I want everybody in this posse to man the phone banks right now. | ||

202-224-3121. | |
| Give them a piece of your mind about this. | ||
| What Congressman Greene says is a total and complete sellout on this bill. | ||
| And by the way, a bill that's not paid for. | ||
| That's the New York Times saying it's the Congressional Budget Office, not the War Room. | ||
| Hundreds of billions of dollars. | ||
| They can't do it without the debt ceiling. | ||

Okay. | |

| Okay, good. | ||
| Congressman Green, thank you very much. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Action, action, action. | ||
| Let me bring in John Solomon. | ||
| He's been around this town a couple of three years. | ||
| Before we talk about it, you've got some great pieces. | ||
| I know we're running a little late. | ||
| Your assessment of Congressman Marjorie Taylor Green. | ||
| John Solomon, you've been around a long time as the top investigative reporter in town. | ||
| Thoughts? | ||
| Well, you made some remarkable news just a few seconds ago. | ||
| You have Marjorie Greene saying she is going to primary. | ||
| Republicans who have not towed the line, who have voted in the disinterest of their party. | ||
| I think that is huge news. | ||
| I know at Just the News we're going to cover that because that is the first time I've heard it. | ||
| And I think it starts off a real struggle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party. | ||
| She is a person who says what she means and means what she says. | ||
| So I'm going to take her word that she's going to do this. | ||
| John, we're going to come back and talk about your Biden exposés, what you're doing, but you've been around a lot of budgets. | ||
| Did you ever believe, and I think you've been at this 30 years, right? | ||
| Although you look like you're in your 30s. | ||
| I wish! | ||
| Have you ever seen the scale of spending? | ||
| $1.2 trillion for first infrastructure? | ||
| Or $3.5 trillion? | ||
| Just the scale of it. | ||
| How much does that boggle your mind? | ||
| We got about 30 seconds, sir. | ||
| It's mind-boggling and it's going to have long-term consequences. | ||
| When interest rates go up, this government will not be able to make its debt service without serious budget cuts. | ||
| We're headed towards a budget crisis that could be a decade long. | ||
| Okay, John Solomon from Just The News, one of the top investigative reporters in town, one of the old hands here. | ||
| He's been drilling down. | ||
| He knows Joe Biden. | ||
| He's been drilling down on the entire situation with Joe Biden. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're returning. | ||
| We've got John Solomon. | ||
| We've got Noor Bin Laden. | ||
| We're going to have Matt Geist, who's at Benghazi, to talk about the region. | ||
| Also, Mike Lindell, talk about vaccines, other issues. | ||
| Got going on. | ||
| It's a busy, busy day. | ||
| The Pentagon telling you 5,000 to 9,000 are coming a day of refugees from Afghanistan. | ||
| Not staying in the region, coming to the United States, up to 100,000. | ||
| And no priority for American citizens. | ||
| Reported 5,000 to 10,000 still in country. | ||
| Be back in a minute with John Solomon. | ||

| John Solomon, I want to come back to you. | ||
| You've known Joe Biden. | ||
| You've followed this for a long time. | ||
| You've got a couple of pieces up in Just the News. | ||
| We've got them up on our webpage. | ||
| We've linked to them. | ||
| We're putting them under the live chat. | ||
| Walk through your analysis of what's happened in the last couple of days, particularly given the history of Joe Biden. | ||
| Yeah, listen, we gotta go back to the November election, because Joe Biden, when you look at the exit polling, promised three things that the Americans bought. | ||
| I'll be a straight talker, I'll take care of the COVID crisis, and I'll be confident we won't have drama. | ||
| We have drama, incompetence, and a lot of mistruths in just the Afghanistan. | ||
| Now let's go to COVID and all the other places. | ||
| He just said a month ago, never gonna have to wear masks again, now we're back to masks. | ||
| His core promise to the American people is blowing up in his face right now. | ||
| But he apparently has a statute of limitations on truth because yesterday he stood in front of the American cameras and he said, I never believed that the Taliban or the Afghanistan mission was about nation building. | ||
| He said that fatally. | ||
| It's the second time in two weeks he said it. | ||
| We went back to 2002 and 2003 to the Senate record. | ||
| And Joe Biden was the biggest advocate for nation building. | ||
| He called for A marshal plan for Afghanistan. | ||
| He criticized conservatives who said nation building is a bad thing and he co-sponsored the first nation building funding plan. | ||
| Joe Biden just lied to the American people. | ||
| There's no other way to say it. | ||
| Either he forgot his time in the Senate or he's lied. | ||
| Neither one is a very good option for us. | ||
| Now you step back and you start to say what else has he not been telling us the truth on in Afghanistan and I can tell you I'm working on a story right now because he's been saying all through the month of July before this crisis began when we saw the Taliban rout the country in six days I had great confidence that the Afghan Army, 300,000 strong, could handle the 70,000 strong Taliban. | ||
| He said that several times in press conferences. | ||
| We're going to make documents public tomorrow from the Pentagon, from one of its top officials, showing all throughout July and all the way in the two years prior, he and others were told repeatedly the Afghan Army had a glass chin. | ||
| It would fall faster than a girl's lemonade stand trying to fight a war against the Taliban. | ||
| Remarkable documents. | ||
| Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. | ||
| If you show that document... | ||
| Some of this talk about impeachment is a little loose. | ||
| If you show that document, why is that ever different? | ||
| This is ten orders of magnitude more serious than what they impeached Trump for the first time. | ||
| If this is what I've been saying, we've got to get to the briefing papers. | ||
| What was Biden told and when was he told it? | ||
| Let's leave aside the Nation Building. | ||
| That's huge. | ||
| A massive breaking story. | ||
| We alluded to it yesterday, but I hadn't quite done all the detailed research obviously John Solomon's going to do. | ||
| But that's the original sin, the Nation Building. | ||
| At hand today, because American people said we can't do the same, we can't nation-build, but the key point is what did he know and when did he know it? | ||
| And is this an intelligence failure and the military, who by the way, totally whiffed on training this army, and we've known for decades, we've known for 10 years, in the White House in 17 we fought this, they couldn't fight. | ||
| But Biden was told this specifically and then ordered it, the troop withdrawal, And now I have to put our boys and girls back in harm's way, our young men and women back in harm's way, and then sat in front of the American people and lied to their face. | ||
| That, sir, I think you start talking, that is an impeachable offense, Mr. John Solomon. | ||
| Yeah, listen, politicians will decide what they do with this information, but I can tell you that these reports were very public. | ||
| They were very clearly briefed to the Pentagon, and my understanding is that the president was clearly aware of the information in this, and he put on a smiley face, just like General Milley did, and told us, yeah, we have confidence. | ||
| These guys will hold for a while. | ||
| They're good. | ||
| Listen, one of the documents makes clear the Afghan army can't even properly fuel its vehicles. | ||
| They can't even fuel vehicles. | ||
| They can't get gas in their cars without corruption and failure and misconduct. | ||
| How do you fight a war in that? | ||
| They talked about, hey, they're going to have air superiority because we built a great air force. | ||
| The final warnings in July said the air force was a mess. | ||
| There was warnings about the soldiers that we had trained being more loyal to their tribes than they were to the American. | ||
| a chain of command and military. All the things that just played out over the last nine days were sitting in reports in July and earlier warning. I mean, this was predicted. The glass chin of this Afghan army was readily apparent to the Biden administration, and they put a happy face on it and tried to sell a bill of goods to the American people. | ||
| John, you've been around a long time. | ||
| What is your fear of they start taking hostages, right? | ||
| Mainstream media is reporting 5,000 to 10,000 Americans of NGOs and others still in country. | ||
| That does not include the Europeans. | ||
| There's tens of thousands of folks there that are not Afghan. | ||
| What are your fears about this? | ||
| Well, listen, right now my intelligence, including talking to people associated with the Taliban, are that the Taliban are willing to let the Americans go because the optics are so amazing, right? | ||
| We leave with our tail between our legs, fleeing while the Taliban took over the country before we left. | ||
| It's far better for their fundraising, for their recruitment for terrorism, for their future leadership of the country to let the Americans go. | ||
| If they start engaging in fights and attacking us, they risk the possibility we come back. | ||
| They don't want that. | ||
| They got the country. | ||
| They're willing to wait us out now and do it. | ||
| So I think the risks are a little less. | ||
| And you never know. | ||
| One bad guy can change the whole thing. | ||
| But right now the intel that I'm getting from the Afghan side is that they're almost glad to let the Americans go out the way they're going, because it's so embarrassing. | ||
| Here is the big threat, and the generals are now starting to talk about this. | ||
| Al Qaeda will reconstitute itself extremely quickly, and Afghanistan will be a potential base for terrorist attacks against Americans across the globe, just like it was before 9-11. | ||
| That is the greatest fear, because that is something that lives on time and time again, and it strikes fear into the heart of our country and our allies. | ||
| The second part is the thing that we talked about yesterday a little bit, China, right? | ||
| China is going to take advantage of this. | ||
| Russia is going to take advantage of this. | ||
| And so doubt with our allies that Americans aren't any good for their word anymore. | ||
| Why trust them to protect you? | ||
| Taiwan, all these other allies that are in tenuous positions, you got to be a little uncomfortable after what happened in Afghanistan. | ||
| John, we got about 20 seconds. | ||
| How do people get to you on social media? | ||
| How do they get to the site? | ||
| Jay Solomon reports on all platforms from Getter to Twitter and JusttheNews.com. | ||
| And that's how you read us every day. | ||
| Fabulous reporting as usual. | ||
| John Solomon, thank you so much. | ||
| Honored to have you on the show. | ||
| Top investigative reporter in town. | ||
| This thing with Biden about the nation-building. | ||
| Nobody else in mainstream media wanted to talk about it. | ||
| Solomon went back and got the receipts. | ||
| Biden has been the biggest proponent of this, okay? | ||
| That's the phoniness and lies. | ||
| They'll look you right in the eye and lie to you with those dead eyes. | ||
| Short break. |
