France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | |

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Who do you think President Biden is listening to? | ||
| Well he's not listening to me because for the last few months I have been telling the administration that they need to start the evacuation immediately. | ||
| That if you simply did the math with the number of people we need to get out and the number of days that we had before U.S. | ||
| troop withdrawal is complete, they should have been conducting this evacuation for months. | ||
| This is the first question I asked Secretary Austin when he came before the House Armed Services Committee just two months ago. | ||
| I said, Mr. Secretary, why have you not already begun this evacuation? | ||
| the scenes of total chaos that we saw play out on the TV yesterday could have been avoided if the administration had planned for this in advance. | ||
| QUESTIONS FOR MR. RAHMAN Has the President spoken to any other world leaders since Kabul fell to the Taliban? | ||
| MR PRICE I'm sorry, I was looking at the wrong person. | ||
| He has not yet spoken with any other world leaders. | ||
| QUESTIONS FOR MR. RAHMAN I'm wondering how you can enforce that, because you're talking about the Security Council – a member of the Security Council of China is moving towards recognition of the Taliban already. | ||
| MR PRICE Well, look, I — Look, I – Without any guarantees of human rights or any other guarantees. | ||
| It just so happens that China, the People's Republic of China, is a permanent member of the UN Security Council. | ||
| So I can tell you precisely what they said when they signed onto the statement on August 16th. | ||
| But what they're doing today is moving towards recognizing the Taliban. | ||
| I am going to have to defer to officials in Beijing to speak to what they're doing. | ||
| I can tell you precisely what they signed on to, precisely what — But what does that tell you about their intent? | ||
| I'm not here to divine the intents of the PRC government. | ||
| I am here to point out precisely what they have signed their name onto. | ||
| The PRC government signed off on- We've seen the resolution. | ||
| Well, and it's an important piece of paper because not only the PRC government, but other permanent and other members of the Security Council also signed onto it. | ||
| Okay, we're live in the War Room. | ||
| I want to make an announcement here, get it into the chat rooms. | ||
| We're on, we have two hours tonight, a special bonus hour. | ||
| Thank you to Real America's Voice for coverage of everything that's going on, from the invasion on the southern border, to the firestorm of kids going back to school with masks and vaccines, the Mothers of America stand up, to obviously the debacle in Afghanistan, and now in the nation's capital, Financial Times. | ||
| I want to talk to you about the headlines. | ||
| Chaos engulfs Kabul Airport amid panic to flee Taliban rule. | ||
| Let me tell you where the real chaos is, and the real panic is here in Washington D.C., the nation's capital, or at Camp David, where the President's kind of, he's fled there. | ||
| But when you're getting lit up, when a progressive regime is getting lit up by Seth Moulton, a progressive Democrat, and by the way, as a Marine Corps officer, I think first lieutenant, he was the hero, one of the heroes of the Battle of Najaf. | ||
| He's a guy who went block by block. | ||
| So he's a combat veteran, combat marine, super progressive, ran for president, first guy out, got 0.000, right, because he's a combat marine, when he ran for president. | ||
| When he's sitting there, saying what everybody's been saying, they've been told about this for months and months and months and months, and their arrogance coupled with their incompetence. | ||
| Then you've got Andrea Mitchell. | ||
| Andrea Mitchell is like a dog with a bone. | ||
| She's not getting off the porch. | ||
| And talk about the pencil knife. | ||
| Where do they get these guys, Jake Sullivan and the guy at the State Department? | ||
| Where do they come up with these guys? | ||
| They kind of like, they go to the soy boy part of the menu and just order them up? | ||
| This is what she was trying to represent. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can tell you precisely what the communique said. | |
| Dude, that's not what we're asking. | ||
| Andrea Mitchell said, hey, the CCP is about to recognize this group of bandits. | ||
| So we're going to have Colonel Wendy Rogers is going to be in from Gettysburg or Chambersburg where the rally is tonight. | ||
| There may be a few surprise guests there also. | ||
| There's a big rally with Doug Mastriano about the subpoenas to try to get Jake Corman's attention, maybe other surprise guests. | ||
| We've got a packed show for the next two hours. | ||
| The first hour I'm honored to have the Newsmax host and former senior advisor to President Trump and a guy that President Trump depends upon a lot for his knowledge and one of the smartest guys. | ||
| The first guy can combine capital markets, Wall Street savvy, economic nationalism and understands the demographics of this country like nobody else. | ||
| Steve Cortez, and a messaging expert. | ||
| I think we talked about this, you've been on cable basically every day for what, the last 14 or 15 years, whether it's CNBC. | ||
| But you started just as a business guy, as a market guy. | ||
| I'm still pretty new to politics, correct. | ||
| You were a guy in the pits in Chicago. | ||
| You're a trader. | ||
| You've traded your own capital. | ||
| You've traded for firms. | ||
| You know every hedge fund guy in the world. | ||
| You know every kinky trade in the world, right? | ||
| So you did that, and now you do political commentary and geopolitics. | ||
| I just got to ask you, and I want to break apart action and messaging. | ||
| First off, talk to us about the actions, because you know Trump up close and personal, right? | ||
| Sure. | ||
| You've seen the Trump guys at work. | ||
| Talk to me about the actions of the Biden administration over the last couple of months, but really culminating in the last few days. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Well, in the case of Afghanistan, unfortunately, a lot of it is inaction, right? | ||
| You know, rather than talking about the actual action that they should have been taking. | ||
| The fact that, and by the way, of course, the blame flows up to the Commander-in-Chief, to Joe Biden. | ||
| He is ultimately responsible. | ||
| But I also want to make sure that we're properly critical of Pentagon leadership, who clearly, completely fumbled In an historic way, to fail to plan the inaction of having a workable plan to get the United States out safely and honorably from Afghanistan. | ||
| Something that we had to do, but that we had to do the right way. | ||
| You know, in so many facets of this administration, which has just been a dumpster fire only seven months in, Joe Biden was handed an incredible inheritance by Donald Trump. | ||
| From the economy to the Taliban, for example. | ||
| I mean, look, Donald Trump negotiated a tough But realistic plan to get the United States out of Afghanistan. | ||
| He handed he dealt an amazing hand to Joe Biden, who then found a way to immediately turn it into a catastrophe, which is what has happened. | ||
| And it's it's both in substance of what he has done and not done in terms of the actual plan to get out of there. | ||
| And then also in terms of messaging, because the optics and the messaging Over the last few days. | ||
| I say this as a guy who broadcasts for a living, as somebody who specializes in the world now of political messaging. | ||
| I almost can't think of worst, worst political messaging than what has come out of the Biden White House from Biden himself and from his lieutenants over the last several days. | ||
| This is one of the reasons we keep showing the mainstream media. | ||
| I want to join these guys really turning on Biden because of the incompetence. | ||
| One thing I want to make sure it's about difference in messaging. | ||
| The reason we played the sequence I want to thank the team in Denver and of course my producers here to put that great cold open together. | ||
| Biden's pitch to the American people, or to the elites, is that nobody in the world likes Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| None of the leaders. | ||
| He can't get along with anybody. | ||
| He's kind of isolated. | ||
| It's the exact opposite. | ||
| He's not there to be liked. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| He's not there to be liked. | ||
| He's there to, you know, put America first. | ||
| I'd like my Commander-in-Chief feared more than liked. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| And round, you know, make guys, you know, get on board. | ||
| Start paying your fair share in NATO. | ||
| Start carrying your weight in Afghanistan. | ||
| What's the most stunning thing of all this was Jake Sullivan. | ||
| Admit saying he has not talked to a world leader. | ||
| How does that work? | ||
| If Trump, if the spokesman for the Trump White House had said this in a situation, and I'm not one of those guys. | ||
| It's staggering. | ||
| The hypocrisy. | ||
| But what is going on? | ||
| You have not made contact with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| You have not talked to Xi. | ||
| You've not talked to Putin. | ||
| You've not talked to Israel. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You haven't talked to even the guy in Iraq. | ||
| I know that's a. Listen. | ||
| Modi. | ||
| You haven't picked up the phone and called Modi. | ||
| Unfortunately, Joe Biden, I think, believes that because he stayed in his basement and did nothing and ended up becoming President of the United States through a stolen election, but because that worked for him, he thinks it's going to work as Commander-in-Chief, which it, of course, is not working. | ||
| He cannot sit in his basement or sit in some room at Camp David and pretend that there's not an absolute crisis unfolding right now. | ||
| He should be on the phones non-stop with world leaders, and I'll tell you why. | ||
| For many reasons, of course, but I'll tell you one important reason. | ||
| Is to find places if Afghanis truly helped us, okay? | ||
| If they really did. | ||
| The ones who truly did. | ||
| Who did brave things for the United States. | ||
| Who would be endangered if they stayed there. | ||
| He should be finding places for them to go. | ||
| And it is not Wisconsin. | ||
| It is not the United States. | ||
| They should be staying in region. | ||
| They should be going to countries that claim they are our allies. | ||
| Countries that benefit from our protection. | ||
| From our aid. | ||
| From our trade relationships. | ||
| I'm talking about UAE. | ||
| Talking about Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, India, Turkey, a lot of countries in region, more or less, in that neighborhood, who should be taking these refugees, not the United States of America. | ||
| That, among many reasons, should be a critical reason why he is burning up the phone lines to find out where these people should be taken. | ||
| Okay, we're going to draw the second hour of the show. | ||
| We're going to get...Bernie Jones is coming on here specifically to talk about this in Georgia. | ||
| We're going to get into this huge detail we talked about this morning. | ||
| Number one, if Joe Biden hadn't talked to anybody, Write this down. | ||
| It's not because they're not calling. | ||
| The phones are lighting up over there. | ||
| Guys want to say, hey, what is going on here? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Modi, you definitely, I'm sure India's calling. | ||
| All of them. | ||
| Hey, give us some guidance here. | ||
| What are you doing? | ||
| What's the next step? | ||
| The other part is, they're saying up to the Pentagon this morning, five to nine thousand a day are coming out and the Americans are not prioritized. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Right now we think we have 5,000 to 10,000 Americans. | ||
| Hang on, 5,000 to 10,000 Americans. | ||
| We've got, I think somebody said 5,000 plus Europeans. | ||
| A lot of these NGOs, you've got people from Africa, you've got people from other parts of the Middle East, you've got people from Asia. | ||
| There's thousands of people. | ||
| Kirby, the Pentagon spokesman, former CNN star, Kirby literally used, I couldn't believe he used this phrase, he said, it is not going to be Americans first. | ||
| I mean, it was almost as if, you know, to rub salt in the wound and tell the America first, you know, deplorables out there, you know, screw you, get in line. | ||
| He also announced that overnight last night, 800 people were flown out overnight. | ||
| He said 165 of them were American citizens. | ||
| How is that possible? | ||
| I mean, if that were flipped, if you said 165 were not American citizens, okay, that might be a reasonable percentage. | ||
| No, 165 were Americans. | ||
| Admiral Kirby, that's going to be a great 30-second spot in the 2022 midterms, trust me. | ||
| By the way, this is the arrogance and the incompetence. | ||
| It's both arrogance, it's acts of commission, and acts of omission. | ||
| We've got so many bases. | ||
| First off, Iraq. | ||
| Qatar, right? | ||
| Kuwait. | ||
| Egypt, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, UAE. | ||
| There's so many places in the region and my point is until things settle out, sort out, we should take out everybody that can make a legitimate claim that work for us. | ||
| But the vetting process on this is going to take a long time. | ||
| There's no reason. | ||
| You can't go home at night and wash the blood off your hands for all the lies you told for years and years and years. | ||
| Bald-faced lies. | ||
| By the way, Nicole Wallace, I don't even have you talk about this topic. | ||
| All the blood on your hands for all the lies and misrepresentations, the lies. | ||
| You can't go home at night and wash the blood off your hands for all the lies you told for years and years and years. | ||
| Bald-faced lies. | ||
| You sat there and looked at the American people and you lied as you were comms director for the worst president, I think, in the history of the country. | ||
| And I throw Buchanan in there, and that's George Bush. | ||
| Bush II, right? | ||
| Horrific. | ||
| And she's one of the stone-cold liars. | ||
| She sits there, and she's criticizing people right now, calling Tucker Carlson, calling these people names, and they're just sitting there going, hey, with a border that is being invaded, right? | ||
| Essentially, by the South. | ||
| How can you possibly sit there and start talking about 100,000 refugees, because that's the kind of numbers that Kirby's throwing around. | ||
| He did not refute that number today. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| And 100,000, by the way, leads to millions because of the way chain migration works. | ||
| And we're not arguing they shouldn't come out, right? | ||
| If you can prove a thing to me, get them out of Afghanistan, because they're not going to be a good role with the Taliban, right? | ||
| But do it in region. | ||
| Keep them in the region. | ||
| Well, and, you know, Steve, I'll push back on that a little bit, too. | ||
| I would also say, do they all need to literally leave? | ||
| The Taliban, supposedly, has under 100,000 hardcore fighters. | ||
| So, if this is roughly 100,000 people, you know, who really helped us, who are military or police, etc., how about they stay and fight the Taliban? | ||
| I mean, I don't necessarily accept the premise that we have to get all of them out, but if we're going to get them out, it sure as hell can't be, we're going to take you to bases in the United States. | ||
| This is the whole point about not talking to foreign leaders. | ||
| I don't think he's ancient. | ||
| We're going to have one of the members of the Ghani family. | ||
| The president's hightailed it, too. | ||
| And we have one of his nephews who's very involved in things over there, and he's not happy. | ||
| He said, hey, the government just took off and ran, right? | ||
| Who knows where the cash is? | ||
| Who knows where anything is, right? | ||
| They turned over all their arms. | ||
| But also, we knew that. | ||
| That's no surprise, right? | ||
| And that's why is it an intelligence failure? | ||
| Or they're saying, the intel community is saying now, that they fully briefed Biden. | ||
| If they fully briefed Biden weeks and weeks ago, About what would happen? | ||
| Do you believe that's an impeachable offense? | ||
| Do you believe the House, given what they did to Trump in the first impeachment, got about 30 seconds left? | ||
| What do you think? | ||
| Yeah, 100%. | ||
| And by the way, for 20... You think it rises to that? | ||
| Yes, it is an impeachable offense. | ||
| And, you know, if, again, assuming that it's true that they fully briefed him in an analytical, dispassionate way on, you know, this is what's going to happen, and he knew that and chose this course anyway, it is absolutely impeachable and In 2022, the Republican Party should run on that. | ||
| They should run on the idea that there has to be a price paid. | ||
| You know, listen, I'm starting to draft the agenda, Steve, for 2022. | ||
| How do we take the House? | ||
| Cortez, you're on fire. | ||
| OK, we're going to return. | ||
| Steve Cortez has done something magnificent. | ||
| It's up on National Pulse. | ||
| It's going to go back to one of my favorite speeches, American carnage. | ||
| We're going to go back to the beginning. | ||
| OK, we're going to go back to the beginning. | ||
| And Steve Cortez is going to lay out Biden's American carnage. | ||
| Okay, next in The War Room. | ||

🎵 Everything's begun, and you're all over 🎵 | |
| 🎵 Cause we're taking down the CCP 🎵 | ||
| 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, welcome back to The War Room. | ||
| We go live to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, arguably the most sacred spot in our nation, maybe besides Arlington National Cemetery. | ||
| Colonel Wendy Rogers. | ||
| Colonel, Thank you for taking this time out. | ||
| We know you're up there for the big speech tonight with Doug Mastriana. | ||
| We'll get to that in a second. | ||
| I've got to ask you, given your service to our country, I know you know so many different veterans and they kind of revere you. | ||
| Give us your thoughts of how Biden and the senior leadership of the National Security, I'm talking about the Defense Department, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Army, Air Force Chiefs, all of it, National Security Advisor, Give us your assessment of how Biden has represented the nation over the last 72 hours. | ||
| Feckless, reckless, absolutely vacuous approach. | ||
| It telegraphs everything weak and woke. | ||
| About our military, about our country. | ||
| It's, it's devastating. | ||
| I mean, it reminds me of Saigon in 1973. | ||
| I was in ROTC back then. | ||
| Uh, but you know, my phone's been lighting up, uh, from all over my district, all over my state and, and the country. | ||
| It's, it's just such a tragedy and it was unnecessary. | ||
| We could have done it much more skillfully and all of this equipment now to, to fall into enemy hands. | ||
| Uh, it's, It's beyond the pale. | ||
| You're at Gettysburg today. | ||
| You're in front of the renowned Visitor Center right there. | ||
| A magnificent shot. | ||
| Given what Gettysburg means to the nation, but also what the men that fought at Gettysburg, what do you think they would say looking down, what, 150, 160 years? | ||
| To say what has happened. | ||
| And it's not about the bravery and valor of our troops. | ||
| That's unquestioned. | ||
| Particularly young men and women going back in harm's way right now. | ||
| Try to square away this mess that Biden got us into. | ||
| But what would they say about our leadership of our country? | ||
| Well, you know, my husband and I have spent all day here at the museum, and tomorrow Colonel Doug Mastriano is going to give us his Ph.D. | ||
| history six-hour tour. | ||
| So this was a very profound experience for my husband and me today as retired officers. | ||
| We just finished, you know, looking at the museum at all the exhibits, and I was very moved by the sheer tenacity and devotion to duty, devotion to the cause. | ||
| for freedom in our country and they these men knew that it was Do or die. | ||
| And we stood in this cyclorama, which was actually painted in the 1800s, which depicted the Union position as the Confederates were advancing. | ||
| Actually, my ancestors fought from Maine, for the state of Maine, for the Union. | ||
| And I believe I'm going to research this new Joshua Chamberlain of little big top fame. | ||
| And so I've bought some things at the gift shop for my grandkids on that. | ||
| But You know, I'm a fifth generation career military officer, and on both my grandparents' sides, we had Union officers fighting in the Civil War. | ||
| And I had never been to Gettysburg before, and so it just, I can't tell you folks how much it resonated in every fiber of my being today, with where we are as a country today, and what these men died for to keep our nation as one nation of Americans and free. | ||
| Colonel, you're giving a very important speech tonight with Doug Mastriana in Chambersburg, about 20 miles outside of Gettysburg. | ||
| Talk to us. | ||
| Why did you go to Commonwealth of Pennsylvania? | ||
| Why are you giving this speech? | ||
| You're one of the leaders of the 3 November movement of the guys over America First audits in the chat room in the channel with Clements and Kesho and others. | ||
| You led this at the symposium. | ||
| You were the leader, really, of the caucus and people saying we've got to get every 50 states for forensic audit. | ||
| Why are you there at the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania tonight? | ||
| Well, Pennsylvania could do the audit, and Doug Mastriano is a friend of mine. | ||
| He came to Arizona, and we spent a lot of time together the day he visited the audit. | ||
| We're both jump-qualified retired military officers, and when I reached out to him and said, I'm in your part of the country, do you have anything going on? | ||
| He immediately answered and said, yes, absolutely. | ||
| We have this women's event, and would you come and be a part of that with me? | ||
| More people now have joined. | ||
| Teddy Daniels, a congressional candidate, great guy, kindred spirit with me for Pennsylvania, he and I will meet here in the next hour. | ||
| Liz Harrington from Trump's team will be here and of course Doug and so we're really really excited and we checked out the venue yesterday and we're | ||
| Cocked and ready to go and really show solidarity as a country that knows that those of us who care and who took the oath know that audits need to be conducted in every county that used the machines so that every correct vote counts and we can preserve our freedom as these men here on these hallowed grounds died for. | ||
| Colonel Rogers, how do people on social media find out about your trip and how they find out about you and how they find out about the cover of the speech tonight? | ||
| Well, thank you. | ||
| Go to WendyRogers.org and sign our petition to decertify. | ||
| This election, we've had 160,000 signatures and we want to get a million signatures. | ||
| And this is for everyone in the country to go on wendyrogers.org. | ||
| And I want to give a special shout out to the Trump store in my home state of Arizona, in Show Low, Arizona, who's helping me on this trip and who loves our commander in chief. | ||
| Karen and Steve, but for you, I wouldn't be on this trip. | ||
| And it's so important that this caucus that is made of state representatives and state senators, we understand we have the plenary power given by the U.S. | ||
| Constitution, again, that was fought for on these very grounds, to oversee and make sure the U.S. | ||
| presidential election, we get to the bottom of the truth of. | ||
| Colonel Rogers, thank you very much. | ||
| We'll be covering you intensely. | ||
| Liz Harrington, we're going to try to get you in the second hour. | ||
| Colonel Rogers, thank you. | ||
| We're going to be covering your entire trip while you're back east. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Honored to have you on. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| For anybody in the audience who has not gone to Gettysburg, you talk about the psychorama. | ||
| Take your kids and go to Gettysburg. | ||
| It's one of the most moving experiences you'll ever see. | ||
| You can take days and go over that battlefield. | ||
| This is a battlefield bigger than Waterloo. | ||
| You can't imagine a massive three-day battle and it is just history in every square inch of it. | ||
| Visitor Center, all of it. | ||
| Can't do it. | ||
| Okay, do we have our American Carnage Club? | ||
| Can we play it for Denver? | ||
| Want to tee up? | ||
| Can we play the clip? | ||
| This American carnage stops right here and stops right now. | ||
| That was Donald J. Trump in kind of an answer to Xi's speech a couple days before at Davos that really laid out the defense of the Westphalian system, the defense of the nation-state, and laid down hard right against the elites. | ||
| Okay, that's Trump's American carnage. | ||
| On National Pulse, I got Steve Cortez, one of the smartest guys around, saying, you've laid out Biden's American carnage. | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| Well, what I mean is, and of course I was hearkening back to Donald Trump's inspiring words, which I know you were instrumental in crafting. | ||
| I listened to them on the mall that day and was incredibly inspired by what we had pulled out. | ||
| Hold it, one thing I've got to ask, I've always asked, you had like the top row VIP seating. | ||
| My seat wasn't too bad, but I looked down and I said, where's Cortez? | ||
| Cortez's not there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Where were you? | |
| So because I was part of the campaign, I had pretty nice seats. | ||
| Not as good as yours, not on the dais, but you know, VIP seats. | ||
| And when I got two of them, my whole family was there. | ||
| So I gave it to my two daughters and said, you two go up front, my teen daughters. | ||
| And I said, I want to go in the back anyway. | ||
| So the way, way back, you know, literally. | ||
| You went all the way back. | ||
| way back and I'm so glad I did. You know why? Because it was full of deplorables. | ||
| And I stood out like a sore thumb because I was wearing a suit. A lot of them recognized me from my hundreds of TV appearances. They were not in suits? They were not in suits. No, these guys were in jeans. They were in work boots. There were a lot of people with dips in. There were, you know, tons of flag paraphernalia obviously in the crowd. It was a wonderful crowd of clearly working-class people. They were not staying that night. I think these were people within driving distance who had driven in deplorables. They were not going to a black-tie ball that night. These were people though who were just so inspired by what Donald | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump had done. This did not look like the donor class. | |
| It did not. | ||
| This was not the donor class. | ||
| So, no, I'm so glad I was there because it made the experience even more moving to hear those words. | ||
| Because when Donald Trump spoke about American carnage, if you remember, the reaction from the New York Times and, you know, from all the credentialed elites was, what carnage? | ||
| Because they hadn't experienced it. | ||
| But believe me, the people, the working class people around me in that crowd, they knew exactly what Donald Trump was talking about. | ||
| And what he mainly meant was endless wars overseas and economic degradation at home at the hand of the economic globalists. | ||
| And he said it stops here and stops now. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| Unlike most politicians, Steve, he did it. | ||
| He actually did it. | ||
| He wound down the endless wars and through an America first agenda of economic nationalism, he delivered prosperity like had never been delivered before to working class people. | ||
| 2019, before the CCP virus hit us like an epidemiological Pearl Harbor. | ||
| It was the best year for workers in American history. | ||
| 6.8% wage growth overall. | ||
| Even better than that for blue-collar people. | ||
| Above 7% for minorities. | ||
| He delivered on American carnage. | ||
| We got about a minute here before we get into the other details. | ||
| But I want to go back to 2019. | ||
| What a historic year it was for blue-collar workers. | ||
| Give those stats that you give about high school grads, high school management, labor. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| So non-managerial is how it's characterized in the Fed data. | ||
| Non-managerial laborers, 9.1% wage growth in the year 2019. | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
|

|
6.8% overall. | |
| Everybody did well, okay? | ||
| But those who were at the back of the pack, they did the best. | ||
| The economic strivers. | ||
| Minorities, it was 7.1% for Hispanics. | ||
| I believe it was 7.3% for blacks. | ||
| It was just an absolutely... Coupled with historic lows on unemployment and labor participation. | ||
| And low inflation. | ||
| Here's the thing, so it meant something, and we'll get to this when I talk about these. | ||
| So you had a real pay raise. | ||
| Right, so the pay raise mattered, right? | ||
| You didn't gain 7% with 7% inflation and you're just treading water. | ||
| No. | ||
| Massive pay raises with extremely tame inflation. | ||
| These were absolutely fantastic days. | ||
| The economic agenda of economic nationalism, meaning smarter trade deals, tax and regulatory relief, and a focus on onshoring. | ||
| All of it paid massive dividends. | ||
| And immigration control. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| That's populism, economic nationalism. | ||
| And this is why, and I know we'll talk more about the article coming up, but this is why I call this Biden's American carnage is unfortunately, we're going right back to the carnage and then some on an accelerated basis. | ||
| You're saying back to the future, to the 70s. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| The one and only, one of the smartest guys in the country, and the leader intellectually of the Trump movement, Steve Cortez, in the war room. | ||
| We're going to go through Biden's American carnage, and we're going to tie it to some poll numbers. | ||
| As we told you on the 20th, don't get in the fetal position. | ||
| He's going to implode, and implode he has. | ||

Next in the War Room. | |
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, MyPillow.com, promo code War Room, support the Fighters for Freedom, the great manufacturing company that is MyPillow up in Minnesota, the War Room apparatus, and of course, the armor-piercing shell, Mike Lindell. | ||
| We're going to have Mike Lindell on again tomorrow. | ||
| He's on a roll right now, so, you know, he's got the cyber thing, he's got all that, and he's plus the big supporter and got everybody enthusiastic about the full forensic audits. | ||
| That was a big part of the Cyber Symposium. | ||
| People came with their last spirit. | ||
| Breaking news item, Governor Abbott of Texas, who's fully vaccinated. | ||
| Just came down, just tested positive for COVID. | ||
| Hey, don't ask me. | ||
| I'm just a guy just repeating it, right? | ||
| We got so much going on. | ||
| I want to turn to Steve Cortez. | ||
| By the way, this is the reason. | ||
| What Cortez is going to walk you through is the reason Rachel Maddow's people, remember, it's her people leaking, that they're in negotiations to get a better deal at MSNBC, but Her thing is really, I think I want to take time off. | ||
| I want to spend more time with my family. | ||
| No doubt, Rachel, you don't want to be left hanging in this bag, right? | ||
| You're responsible for it, but hey, just like Jon Stewart punched out, she's getting ready to punch out, and the reason is the following. | ||
| Biden's American carnage by the brilliant Steve Cortez. | ||
| Take it away, sir. | ||
| By the way, just quickly from a messaging standpoint, even if you really are leaving your job to spend more time with your family, that can never be the explanation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay? | |
| Just never. | ||
| No one buys it. | ||
| Never. | ||
| Not that people don't love their families. | ||
| I'm sure Rachel does. | ||
| Even if it's the truth, you have to come up with something better, okay, as a messaging guy. | ||
| But listen, let's get to, unfortunately, Biden's American carnage. | ||
| And so the reason that I titled this article at Rahim's Excellent National Pulse, I titled it Biden's American Carnage to juxtaposition it with what was going on before Trump. | ||
| Trump successfully stopped the American carnage. | ||
| Unfortunately, the CCP virus has led to all manner of volatility, including politically in this country, allowed Joe Biden, unfortunately, to steal the election and to become an illegitimate president of the United States, but nonetheless president. | ||
| And I have to say this, what he has done in only seven months, even to me, even to somebody as critical of Biden as I am, this is staggering. | ||
| You know, when I was with the Trump campaign, Steve, in 2022, excuse me, 2020, I really had two sort of main tasks. | ||
| The first was outreach to Hispanics, and we did magnificently well. | ||
| My second big task was attacking Joe Biden constantly through my MAGA minute videos, through my rooftop videos, my hundreds of TV appearances. | ||
| And so, you know, I feel like I have an edge on the anti-Biden agenda better than just about anybody. | ||
| Even I am astounded just how quickly things have devolved in only seven months in office. | ||
| And that's why I call it American carnage. | ||
| And I'm really talking about four verticals that I think are most important here, where Biden has just utterly failed. | ||
| And America, I really believe, unfortunately, is on the edge of a cliff. | ||
| I really believe that this is a country that is unraveling right now because of Joe Biden. | ||
| Those four verticals are inflation, absolutely runaway inflation, an explosion in prices, open borders, a term that they don't use, but that is the reality. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| reality right now already perhaps effectively an op medical apartheid, someth being instituted all acro in blue jurisdictions, bu this country, even in pret and then the Afghan explo those are the four vertic carnage that we need to f also as best we can come What can we do now? | ||
| Our options are obviously limited right now, not in power in Washington, D.C. | ||
| They're not limited in many of the states. | ||
| A lot we can do at the state level. | ||
| But also, what are our options regarding 2022 and 2024? | ||
| I want to go through each one, each vertical. | ||
| We got time. | ||
| I want to go through each vertical. | ||
| But this also tells you that if you work with these guys in this, you're a collaborator. | ||
| You're a collaborator. | ||
| Those 19 senators are collaborators, and President Trump ought to pull the endorsement on Crapo right now. | ||
| Send a signal. | ||
| Let's go through it. | ||
| Let's talk about the inflation, because working class people, this is the number one thing they're talking about right now. | ||
|

|
100%. | |
| Listen, so the information we've gotten out lately has been, the economic data, has been just staggeringly bad. | ||
| Okay, unbelievable. | ||
| We got more out today. | ||
| Retail sales down 1.1%. | ||
| It's been down now two of the last three months, the first time that has happened since the lockdown lows of 2020. | ||
| In the spring of 2020, the inflation news that we got last week, PPI, the producer price index, up 7.8%. | ||
| That is the highest in the history of the index. | ||
| Now, it was reconstituted in 2010, so it's probably the highest if you do an apples-to-apples comparison, probably the highest. | ||
| And this is a regressive tax. | ||
| 1980s that also reflected CPI the consumer price index up 5.4 percent which matched the prior months high that was the highest level Since 2008 so prices are absolutely soaring in this country I don't have to tell anybody in the audience who goes to the grocery store who goes to the gas station And this is a regressive tax because it's hitting the working class Because look if you're a law partner if you're an investment banker who makes it you know a big ticket annually this might bother you that It costs you more to fill up your luxury SUV, but it's not really gonna change your life | ||
| For the working-class mom who drives far to her waitress job, this is crippling. | ||
| It's just absolutely crippling for middle-income and lower-income people. | ||
| As usual, the people that Joe Biden and Barack Obama claim to care the most about are the people they punish the harshest. | ||
| I just want to repeat something you said. | ||
| Trump's 2019, the wage increases there with no inflation. | ||
| You had sub-1% inflation. | ||
| That's real money in your pocket. | ||
| Here, you're getting crushed. | ||
| You're getting crushed. | ||
| No wage increases, and you're getting this tax on inflation. | ||
| You're getting absolutely crushed. | ||
| Inflation far, far higher than wage increases. | ||
| And this is because of Joe Biden. | ||
| Here's the thing. | ||
| This isn't bad luck. | ||
| This isn't happenstance. | ||
| This is a created crisis, like the other crises that Joe Biden has created. | ||
| It is because he has taken what we... Look, our country was already spending and borrowing too much, but he took it into absolute overdraft. | ||
| Okay, this is spending and borrowing on steroids. | ||
| And I always wondered, I traded bonds for 25 years, I always really kind of wondered, Steve, when is the U.S. | ||
| borrowing and spending going to finally catch up with us? | ||
| When is it going to get us in trouble? | ||
| Because it didn't for a very long time, largely because of globalization, quite frankly. | ||
| I have a lot of problems with globalization, but one of the benefits was keeping inflation down, right? | ||
| Because the Chinese were willing to undercut anybody in price. | ||
| You kept inflation down because you keep wages down, because you're using slave labor in China. | ||
| I'm not saying I'm pro globalization at all. | ||
| I'm saying there was a benefit, a side benefit. | ||
| I can get the math. | ||
| Lao Bai Jing understands that. | ||
| There was a side benefit. | ||
| And I think we have hit those limits, number one, in terms of that benefit. | ||
| But number two, we have clearly hit the breaking point now, where we have the highest inflation since the 1970s. | ||
| And look, young Americans have never seen this in their lives. | ||
| People of my age barely remember those days. | ||
| But you called this first, I think, you and Navarro at the same time, stagflation. | ||
| We're going back to the worst of all possible worlds. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Out-of-control inflation with no growth. | ||
| With slow growth. | ||
| With slow or no growth. | ||
| Yeah, or no growth. | ||
| Correct. | ||
| That is stagflation. | ||
| So we're back to the 1970s. | ||
| And I don't mean in the good way. | ||
| I don't mean disco and, you know, silk shirts. | ||
| I mean in every possible terrible way, including geopolitically, by the way. | ||
| But what's going on right now, and here's the thing. | ||
| You know, when you mentioned what a betrayal it was for these 19 Republican senators to facilitate this madness, the Biden inflation spike, it wasn't even politically in their interest to do so if you actually look at the data. | ||
| Because while we see consumer sentiment, and I'll outline this in my article, consumer sentiment is plunging. | ||
| University of Michigan does a consumer sentiment survey. | ||
| It's the most widely respected and watched on Wall Street and among economists. | ||
| The most recent, which was released last week, it gave back all the pandemic gains to an 11-year low. | ||
| So, in other words, it had bottomed last spring. | ||
| Understandably, it cratered then last spring. | ||
| It rose dramatically all the way until last month. | ||
| The preliminary August read came out, gave back all of those gains and then some. | ||
| We're at an 11-year low on consumer sentiment. | ||
| That consumer sentiment poll, by the way, also reflects what we're seeing in Biden's approval. | ||
| I know you talk about it a lot on this show. | ||
| The CNBC survey, just to pick one, but all the polls show similar moves, CNBC survey showed his approval was an astoundingly high in February, I'll have to concede this point, 62%. | ||
| It went all the way to 48%. | ||
| Given what I see on the consumer side, and that was before the Afghan situation, by the way. | ||
| What I see on the consumer side, that number is going to go to the lower 40s very soon. | ||
| So here's the thing, Steve. | ||
| These feckless Republican eunuch senators, it wasn't even in their political interests to do what they did. | ||
| Unless you're part of the eunuch party. | ||
| Well, right. | ||
| And we've got the debt ceiling coming up. | ||
| By the way, this is why Nancy Pelosi is calling them back next week here. | ||
| Because they've got to jam through both of these massive trillion dollar spending bills. | ||
| They're going to try to buy the votes of the American people, right? | ||
| With this human capital bill and the infrastructure bill. | ||
| The four things. | ||
| I want to go to something. | ||
| Medical apartheid. | ||
| I haven't heard it called that, Cortez. | ||
| I knew you had to be controversial. | ||
| When you say medical apartheid, what do you mean? | ||
| I mean, you're creating two classes of people in society. | ||
| It's exactly what the Afrikaners did in South Africa, right? | ||
| I mean, you had the coloreds, as they referred to them, right? | ||
| It wasn't, I think, only blacks. | ||
| I think other people were put in that as well. | ||
| People with darker skin and whites. | ||
| Right, so we have created two classes of society right now. | ||
| In New York City, today, if you have decided, for perhaps totally rational reasons, that you don't want the vaccine. | ||
| Maybe you're incredibly young and healthy. | ||
| Maybe you're pregnant. | ||
| Maybe you had COVID. | ||
| Maybe you had COVID and antibodies. | ||
| 35 million people have better antibodies than all the vaccines combined, right? | ||
| And you cannot Sit down and have a meal in the largest city in the United States today. | ||
| I call that, Steve, medical apartheid. | ||
| And saying, we want to look into your history of shots. | ||
| You're not an anti-vaxxer. | ||
| No, I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but I believe that the vaccine should be available to all and mandated for none. | ||
| And I also believe that young people, and parents of young people, I'm one of them, are making very intelligent decisions and saying, wait a second, an experimental, it's not even really a vaccine, it's a therapy, it's a mitigation therapy, but an experimental Mitigation therapy for groups that are not vulnerable, statistically, to dire effects from the virus doesn't make a whole lot of sense. | ||
| And to compel people to do it, it doesn't just not make sense. | ||
| It's actually, in my view, an evil practice. | ||
| That's why I don't think I'm overstating it, Steve, to call it medical apartheid. | ||
| And by the way, to add a racial angle to that as well, in New York City, according to the New York Times, young black citizens of New York City, according to the New York Times, only 28% are vaccinated. | ||
| Now, I don't have a problem with that because, again, they're probably making a very rational MSNBC was in Chicago this morning making this big press, or maybe it was Detroit, saying, oh by the way, it was Detroit, oh by the way, only 42% of the people African-Americans are vaccine hesitant for good reason. | ||
| Show me the receipts, show me the data. | ||
| So it's about 40% overall among the black population, young blacks, it's in the high 20s. | ||
| So what New York is doing is effectively telling a lot of black and brown New Yorkers, you are not welcome here. | ||

If you want food, you're going to have to get Get a courier! | |
| By the way, you can't eat at a nice restaurant. | ||
| You can't eat at any restaurant. | ||
| I'm not so sure you can't go to a McDonald's. | ||
| Right, no, I believe you're right. | ||
| I think it's any restaurant, period. | ||
| It's not even just a sit-down. | ||
| So, look, I don't think it's an exaggeration to call it medical apartheid and Joe Biden. | ||
| Think about this, by the way. | ||
| While America's front door, metaphorically speaking, our front door is wide open, and it is right now, At the same time our front door, our metaphorical front door is open, he is literally sending government agents to knock on actual doors, on literal doors, to try to pressure people to get a jab that they do not want. | ||
| And again, perhaps, not anti-vax, but perhaps for very legitimate reasons. | ||
| People should have the freedom to make that choice. | ||
| Particularly if you've got antibodies. | ||
| You've had it before. | ||
| Here's the thing about the ruling class elite, Steve. | ||
| It's not just that they want to make you politically maligned and politically ostracized. | ||
| They do want that. | ||
| They want much more than that. | ||
| They want to make your life miserable. | ||
| I mean, that is, I think, the actual reality here, and I think we see this with this medical apartheid. | ||
| They want to make your life difficult and miserable, and Steve, they don't even hide it anymore. | ||
| They really don't even bother. | ||
| They used to bother to hide it. | ||
| They don't in these days, and so that's why I wrote this article about About this American carnage, you know, what's going on? | ||
| And I would add to that, you know, another vertical on it is the Afghan implosion. | ||
| As badly bungled as this was over the last several days, and it's been a disaster and it's not done, it's ongoing, it seems like things are at least stabilized a little bit for now. | ||
| We'll see what happens. | ||
| But regardless of how badly this was bungled, I worry more, Steve, than what's happening right now in Kabul. | ||
| I worry more about the next chapter. | ||
| If we invite a hundred thousand Afghans who have known nothing but a war-torn country for four decades, if we invite that amount of people to the United States, are you really trying to tell me that we can do a series of vetting that we know that a thousand of them, five hundred of them, a hundred of them, Don't come here with completely ill intent and with the training to be menaces to this country, because it doesn't take many, right, who have who have ill will. | ||
| I guarantee the vast majority of them do not. | ||
| But I will also almost guarantee you that there is a not insignificant portion who does. | ||
| And again, that's why, to your point, If these people really do need to get out, if they're a dire risk because they helped us, then we do have a responsibility to help them, but not to come to Kansas, okay? | ||
| Not to come... We don't want to bring Kandahar to Kentucky, okay? | ||
| I think that's critical right now. | ||
| Let's bring them to American military bases and to countries that are supposedly our allies, that benefit massively from American protection, American aid, American trade. | ||

| The foreign policy establishment of Washington aligned in pursuit of turning a tribal and brutal land of repression into some mid-aged version of 1776 America. | ||
| No chance. | ||
| Those ruling class elites, they benefited massively, but everyday Americans paid the price. | ||
| Middle and lower class kids from rural America and Hispanics with names like Gomez from the Bronx were sent to this faraway land on a dangerous and fanciful mission. | ||
| And when they came home in coffins, the ruling class did not hesitate to dive deeper into the delusion. | ||

| There's going to be more to stabilize, to get the Americans out, to get the Europeans out, the NGOs, all of it, to clean up the mess of the ruling elite in this country, the globalists, all of it. | ||
| This is a disgrace. | ||
| Steve Cortes, of all the numbers, this consumer confidence number, it's a leading indicator. | ||
| And this is why this town, people are stepping back. | ||
| They're trying to figure out, the Democrats, how to play this. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi's tripling down. | ||
| They've got to get these spending bills done now, where they're still breathing some life. | ||
| Is there any floor to Joe Biden? | ||
| There is not. | ||

| particularly. | ||
| Some folks in Wall Street, I think, make an attempt to understand. | ||
| Politics and Washington. | ||
| The Wall Street folks do. | ||
| The Washington folks don't even make an attempt to understand Wall Street. | ||
| When we marry these two things together, what's going on with consumer sentiment plunging in this country, and when we look at what's going on with Biden approval absolutely plunging, what we realize is that, number one, he is in a very perilous situation, which is why it's absurd, of course, the Republicans let him out of the corner. | ||
| You know, to use a boxing metaphor, he was wobbling in a corner. | ||
| We could have delivered a political knockout punch. | ||
| Instead, they let him out. | ||
| But that's the bad news. | ||
| Here's the good news for those of us who oppose the Biden agenda. | ||
| There is no such thing, Steve, as a Biden base. | ||
| It just does not exist. | ||
| I mean, you literally, you cannot find rabid Biden supporters, okay? | ||
| It doesn't exist. | ||
| You know, we saw this during the campaign in 2020. | ||
| I used to always joke, can you find a Biden flag anywhere? | ||
| I mean, you can't, right? | ||
| Whereas you see them all over the United States. | ||
| You see them behind luxury yachts. | ||
| You see them in modest homes. | ||
| Trump flags, MAGA flags, all that. | ||
| All over the place. | ||
| And by the way, you still see them all over the United States behind pickup trucks, as I said, behind expensive yachts, waving outside of very modest homes. | ||
| There is Trump always, and listen, let's be honest, Trump often struggled in polling, but we always knew that he had an incredibly devoted MAGA America first base. | ||
| That does not exist for Joe Biden. | ||
| So when you look at his poll numbers, and his people have to know this, you know, it's not like 40 is the floor or 38 is the floor. | ||
| There is no floor, literally. | ||
| And as things devolve and get worse in this country, and unfortunately, by every metric they are, he has no floor and the Republicans need to grow a spine and realize that. | ||
| And finally, you know, look, there's a phrase that's kind of trite, but I think it does When Democrats are elected, they are in power, right? | ||
| When Republicans are elected, they're in office. | ||
| Well, we need to act like we want to be in power, and we need to recognize that he doesn't have a floor, and let's start acting appropriately. | ||

| No relation? | ||
| Not that I know of. | ||

|
Okay. | |
| Hernán Cortés. | ||
| Give us the 500th anniversary of a big deal. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Huge deal. | ||
| In 1521, 500th anniversary of Cortés conquering, fully conquering the Aztec Empire, took over what is now Mexico City. | ||
| And I said, and this is obviously going to get me in a lot of trouble, I said it on social media, but I like good trouble, that listen, this is a day to be celebrated. | ||
| I'm not saying Cortés by any stretch was a perfect man, nor were any of the conquistadors. | ||
| However, The Empire that he conquered. | ||
| I think Trump would call them bad hombres. | ||
| Bad hombres. | ||
| The Empire that he conquered, the Aztec Empire, was literally one of the most evil empires in all of world history. | ||
| They were the Nazis of the 16th century. | ||
| The absolute atrocities which were committed in a ritualistic way by the Aztecs against children, human sacrifice, I mean all of it, mass rape. | ||
| The untold story about how the 50 conquistadors do it because they had 100,000 allies. | ||
| That all the guys that lived around, all the tribes that lived around the Aztecs said, hey, we're with you. | ||
| Cortes, correct. | ||
| Cortes landed at Veracruz, which he named. | ||
| It's named Veracruz to this day, meaning the true cross. | ||
| The reason that he was able, with a very small group of brave Spanish men and horses, the reason he was able to topple this mighty and massive empire is because they had so subjugated the other Indian tribes, the other, or what we would now call Indian, but you know, the then indigenous tribes. | ||
| Let's double down again. | ||
| were there because they were so subjugated, Cortes was viewed very properly as their liberator and he was indeed their liberator and he ended up gaining tens of thousands of followers, perhaps as many as 100,000 for the final assault even though he had, I think at that time, about 500 spammers. | ||
| Let's double down again. | ||
