|
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. | ||
| 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. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, we're live in the War Room. | ||
| It is Thursday, 19 August, Year of Our Lord 2021 now, with close to 77 million downloads on the podcast. | ||
| We're live everywhere. | ||
| I want to thank Real America's Voice. | ||
| I want a programming note. | ||
| At the end, at 6 o'clock tonight, Real America's Voice is going to be live from the Metropolitan Club in New York City. | ||
| A big event for the New York Republican Club. | ||
| I'm going to be the first interview, so I want everybody to hang on after the show. | ||
| We'll roll right into the next show. | ||
| It's going to be John Fredericks, the one and only John Fredericks. | ||
| We're live on his radio network nationwide. | ||
| Also on Pluto, Roku, every platform out there, Rumble, go there, go on Telegram. | ||
| You can watch this anywhere. | ||
| You've got chat rooms, forums, all of it. | ||
| Really want to thank G News and GTV. | ||
| for simulcasting this in Mandarin and blowing through the firewall into, for the Lao Bai Jing, old hunter names. | ||
| Old hunter names is basically the deplorables of China, okay? | ||
| So they're our allies, now in Japanese also. | ||
| And I want to start tonight, since we have such a big Australian audience, we love our allies in Australia and all the deplorables down there. | ||
| I want to bring in Senator Matt Canavan, who's become quite a star in the war room. | ||
| Senator, I got some Tony Fauci stuff I was going to play. | ||
| It's cold open, but I want to hold that for a second. | ||
| We'll ask for it. | ||
| I got to ask you as an ally that's fought with us in every war we've had, shoulder to shoulder with the Americans over the last hundred and some years, since the beginning of the 20th century. | ||
| I'm kind of shocked. | ||
| I saw you on Twitter. | ||
| Kind of a little bit trolling, but you had a very deep question about the Taliban, about their net zero carbon emissions. | ||
| And remember here, this group of clowns here that now have us and have the deplorable sons and daughters going back in to Afghanistan. | ||
| We're going to have clips later from CNN where they're lighting up the administration. | ||
| Don't even know how many Americans are over there, how many citizens, where they are, how they get out of there. | ||
| You know, our last defense paper, you know, Millie is all worried about critical race theory and white rage, and the rest of the Defense Department's worried about, as they said, climate change is the number one threat that the United States and her allies meet. | ||
| Sir. | ||
| What is your general thoughts right now of this debacle in Afghanistan, and how does it impact the Australian people, one of our strongest allies, if not our strongest ally, about what this means about the United States looking at the Chinese Communist Party, the South China Sea, and Taiwan? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Steve, it's just incredibly sad. | |
| It's very, very sad. | ||
| To see our Western civilization with all the vast array of technology we have be reduced to this complete lack of authority. | ||
| It's then you get angry about it. | ||
| You do get really angry about it because this is a massive defeat for the woke armies of the West. | ||
| We have turned our military into a joke of a woke force with all of these distractions on issues that are not their day job. | ||
| Whether it's, as you said, the critical race theory stuff, In your country here, we've had a group of current and former senior defence officials just a few months ago in June, a former climate leadership group, and they came out with great fanfare and said that climate change was the biggest national security risk we face. | ||
| Now, if if if you take these serious people seriously, The biggest implication then of the fall of Kabul is, well, what does the Taliban think about net zero emissions? | ||
| Are they going to go to Glasgow later this year and sign up like the rest of the world? | ||
| And obviously that question is absurd. | ||
| Absolutely absurd. | ||
| But it shows the farce of what our military strategy has become, of what many of our so-called serious senior officials in the West have become distracted with. | ||
| Because our biggest national security risk clearly is not climate change. | ||
| It's clearly the complete fall of authority from the West. | ||
| with our retreat, our embarrassing retreat from Kabul. It is the ascendance now of China, and we all saw that this week with the Global Times newspaper, the English mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, say that once, not if, once war comes to the Taiwan Straits, Taiwan won't be able to rely on the West at all. We need to have a serious look in the mirror now about what went wrong here, why we have been distracted with all this other stuff, and get back to what is most | ||
| Our military is there for a job to defend our nation. | ||
| Here in this country, we've got our army on the streets of Sydney being COVID cops, enforcing these ridiculous restrictions being placed on people to chase some zero COVID fantasy. | ||
| So they've been distracted with that, rather than worrying about their actual job, which is to secure this nation's interests here and overseas. | ||
| The citizens of Australia have always been shoulder to shoulder with us. | ||
| Are they rattled right now, particularly when you think about the South China? | ||
| You've got Central Asia that's imploding. | ||
| But when you go back to the Straits of Malacca, South China Sea, Taiwan, you know, it's Japan, South Korea, but principally Australia. | ||
| And people got to remember, in World War II, if it was not for Australia and Australia holding, We would never finish the Pacific War in what, three, three and a half years. | ||
| Are the citizens of Australia rattled by what they're seeing out of Biden and this click he's got at the Pentagon, at the CIA? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Steve, we are, as you've said before, the tip of the spear here. | |
| This is our region. | ||
| And the Australian people, what the frustrating thing is, the Australian people are very keenly concerned about the aggressive rise of China. | ||
| Our economy has become very tied to China, so we see it directly. | ||
| And we know we've got to try and change tack here. | ||
| But there's this gap, there's this massive gap between what the average man and woman on the street knows in their heart, in their bones, that what is the problem and challenges for our country, and what they see their leaders distracted with. | ||
| We've had our defence forces a few months ago, apart from just this climate change stuff, a few months ago some of them, some of the officials in our defence department were arranging rainbow morning teas where defence staff and personnel were encouraged to wear some rainbow on their on their clothing to celebrate LGBTI issues. | ||
| Now, fortunately, our Defence Minister is this really strong guy, Peter Dutton. | ||
| He banned that. | ||
| As soon as he found out about it, he banned it. | ||
| But this psychology has poisoned, this woke ideology has poisoned once proud Western institutions, be they the universities, our military, and now it's seeping in through our normal day-to-day decision-making with our absurd response to coronavirus. | ||
| Do we have, speaking of that, do we have the Australian minister, can we play the Australian clip and then I want to ask Senator Canavan a couple of questions here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But what we really need you to do is to go for gold next week. | |
| We have about 24,000 of you who can get along to the Kudos Bank Arena next week. | ||
| And the way you do that is that there will be a link come out to you, there will be messages come out to you with a letter that will explain what you are required to do. | ||
| But what you are required to do is just keep safe, basically. | ||
| Get along to the Kudos Bank Arena. | ||
| You can get there by your own car or by public transport. | ||
| Maybe mum and dad can drop you. | ||
| If mum or dad or one of your family drop you, make sure they stay outside the arena because we don't want too many people obviously milling around inside the arena. | ||
| Make some arrangements for after you've got your access to that golden opportunity of the vaccination to wait outside for you. | ||
| And to mums and dads, I just want to say, and to the young people as well. | ||
| I think we've heard enough so far. | ||
| So look, Senator Canavan, The American people are very close to Australian people, you know, brothers in arms. | ||
| I don't think my phone is blown up or people have come to me about what exactly is going on about the school kids in the stadium in, I think it's in New South Wales, 24,000. | ||
| You see these videos, they're talking about young cops. | ||
| What is going on? | ||
| You got the army in Sydney. | ||
| It sounds like, and I say this as someone that, you know, loves Australia and Australians, What is going on down there? | ||
| Because it sounds like even more out of control than the United States. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the context, Steve, is we were very, very fortunate to keep coronavirus out effectively. | |
| We shut our borders early. | ||
| I think it was the day before Donald Trump shut your borders. | ||
| And for whatever reason, coronavirus wasn't out and about here. | ||
| So we kept it out. | ||
| And now people are desperately trying to hold on to that zero goal. | ||
| And they've been unfortunately a lot of people be willing to give up their freedoms, give them over to this safety first ideology. CS Lewis warned us about this, Stevie. He warned us decades ago that there was the rise of a scientocracy where we would give up our freedoms, our liberties to people with knowledge, to people who apparently had knowledge to keep us safe. And he wrote, he said the politicians would become mere puppets in the hands | ||
| of scientists. | ||
| And that's what's happened here. | ||
| Our politicians, our leaders are not willing to make independent decisions, weighing up lots of different factors, effectively handing over the keys of government to our chief health overlords who make decisions based on only one thing. | ||
| One thing is just no coronavirus. | ||
| So you get this absurd. | ||
| I don't think Brad Hazard would have known. | ||
| He wouldn't have said that two years ago. | ||
| But now he's been so distracted with his zero COVID. | ||
| Yeah, hand your kids over to the police. | ||
| Let them go into a stadium and get a medical procedure. | ||
| Well, there's no way in hell I'm handing out my kids. | ||
| I'm not anti-vax, Steve. | ||
| But if my children are going to go and get a medical procedure, I'll be with them or their mum will be with them. | ||
| We'll be there for them. | ||
| And we'll be taking them through that, not handing them over the state because they're our children. | ||
| And we've got to fight back against this because our society is based on individual freedom. | ||
| It's based on the primacy of the family. | ||
| And it is not. | ||
| We do not want this virus that came out of China, made in a lab from the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| We don't want that virus. | ||
| To spread a communist ideology as well as the health impacts it's doing. | ||
| Senator, one good thing, have they made the case, maybe it's not even about being there and being a guardian for your child, which obviously people would want to be in this procedure, but have they put forth enough information That people feel comfortable or is this the state forcing these young people to get the vaccination? | ||
| In other words, you don't have a choice. | ||
| You've got to show up. | ||
| You've got to do it. | ||
| You turn over us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's no compulsion here. | |
| No one is forced to get the vaccine. | ||
| There is, of course, an enormous amount of peer pressure to get the vaccine. | ||
| And look, my view is, again, we've got to keep that notion of individual consent. | ||
| We've got to give people informed consent, give them the information, and then they can make their own decision. | ||
| The reality here, Steve, is not a lot of young people have had the vaccine yet. | ||
| We've targeted older, vulnerable populations first. | ||
| We've had some issues with supply. | ||
| It's only now, we're only just starting this. | ||
| And so this is a bit of a desperate attempt to roll it out among young people. | ||
| I don't know if that many parents are willing to hand over the kids to the state in a football stadium and say goodbye to them. | ||
| Has the army being called out in Sydney, is this because the goal of zero COVID is a little irrational, just irrational. | ||
| Has anybody brought that up to the government to say, hey guys, we've got about a minute, but is anybody making this argument that's saying, hey, I don't know if we can get to zero COVID? | ||
| Senator? | ||
|
unidentified
|
There is a lot of people been doing that here and including some people in officialdom have been saying that. | |
| Unfortunately, that view has not won the debate just yet. | ||
| There is still many leaders trying to pursue zero COVID. | ||
| In fairness to the New South Wales government, they are being a bit more upfront about the fact that that will not happen eventually. | ||
| It's just how long it takes. | ||
| And we're going through the same process other countries have. | ||
| Because we haven't locked down, or most of our country hasn't locked down much, there's still this desperate attempt to try and do that. | ||
| Eventually, I'm sure, we'll get back to what we see overseas, which is football stadiums full, people going out again and just living with it. | ||
| But unfortunately, there's this transition going on in this country, and it's pretty ugly, where, as I say, you've got our military distracted on the streets of Sydney, and for a few days this week, we couldn't get a plane in to save our people from Kabul. | ||
| Sir, what's your Twitter handle? | ||
| Your Twitter runs a little hot, and I think people want to follow you, you know, all day long. | ||
| So what's your Twitter handle? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, look, I don't mind saying controversial things because we have to ask these questions and we have to sometimes shock people. | |
| We have to wake people up. | ||
| People don't like being woken up. | ||
| So there's a little bit of anger sometimes. | ||
| But we are in a slumber here in the West. | ||
| We are asleep and we need to wake up before it's too late. | ||
| The Great Awakening. | ||
| Senator Canavan, thank you very much. | ||
| From Australia, from Queensland, Australia, thank you very much for joining us in the War Room. | ||
| Short commercial break, WorldClearPolitics. | ||

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. | ||
| To stay ahead of the virus though, how concerned are you This is the first time I've heard you say that there are some data, this from Israel, that it no longer fully protects against serious disease and hospitalization in some cases. | ||
| Now, I understand that these are early data, but that has to be very concerning because up until now, we've been told, well, if you're vaccinated, at least if you have a breakthrough case, and there have been more and more of these breakthrough cases, it won't be serious. | ||
| And it may not even be infectious and transmissible. | ||
| So a good question, and there's a clear answer to it, Andrea, is that right now, when you look at this country and the vaccinations that have been given, for the most part, there's a high degree of protection against hospitalization and death. | ||
| What we're seeing with the Delta variant are breakthrough infections, which you'd expect to see In a situation in which you have a vaccine that's not 100% protected. | ||
| If you're vaccinated in general, those breakthrough infections are mild to moderate, sometimes even asymptomatic. | ||
| But what we're starting to see over time is these signals that over a period of time, it's starting to attenuate and come down. | ||
| So even though we're protected now, rather than saying let's wait until we start seeing significant disease and hospitalizations, let's get ahead of the curve. | ||
| Let's get a booster to those people generally around eight months after the original regimen to prevent the kind of thing that you're talking about. | ||
| We're not seeing it now, we want to prevent it. | ||
| And I believe that's good public health policy to make sure that we prevent something from happening prior to having to react to something happening. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let me ask you something. | |
| I know this could be expensive and not practical, but in a perfect world, would you be giving people antibody tests, blood tests, it's a simple test, to know how much their vaccine doses have lost efficacy? | ||
| The answer is no. | ||
| The answer is no, Andrea, to do that because the strict correlation, the accuracy of many of these tests, whether or not they actually reflect the complete complexity of an immune response. | ||
| I can't take any more. | ||
| By the way, there are clearer answers. | ||
| I have to feel for Andrea Mitchell, her noon show. | ||
| Right now, she sees her world collapsing around her. | ||
| She's like the queen mother. | ||
| Was it Dowager? | ||
| That was what you call it? | ||
| Of the globalist. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And every day she has to see it imploding around her. | ||
| She's got these sad eyes. | ||
| She's actually over at the State Department asking tough questions they can't answer. | ||
| Andrea Mitchell. | ||
| Now it's kind of the backup to make Biden look better. | ||
| She's got Fauci. | ||
| Hey, we're going to talk about the COVID. | ||
| And she's sitting there going, Hey, give it back to Israel. | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| Give me a, what about, how did this hit us? | ||
| What happened here? | ||
| Oh, we've got a clear answer. | ||
| And he just spins. | ||
| Then she asked the most logical question. | ||
| Hey, can't we actually test for the antibodies of how this, of how the, of how your, how your great shot did? | ||
| Oh no, you can't do that. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| No, no, no, no, no. | ||
| Wouldn't want to do that. | ||
| Wouldn't even want to consider it. | ||
| This is what you got here. | ||
| Do you wonder why only 30% of African Americans in New York City have taken the vaccine? | ||
| They're waiting for the receipts. | ||
| They want to see some evidence. | ||
| They don't believe in scientism. | ||
| They believe in science. | ||
| Right? | ||
| They want to see some facts. | ||
| They want to see some data. | ||
| And they don't want to hear Fauci spin. | ||
| And Andrea Mitchell with the big sad eyes. | ||
| Andrea's probably had the worst week of her life. | ||
| Her world collapses. | ||

The post-war liberal order. | |
| Rules-based liberal order. | ||
| Yeah, the Taliban, they're playing by a lot of rules. | ||
| Their rules. | ||
| I want to go to Frank Mealy. | ||
| He's got an incredible piece in Real Clear Politics about the vaccine mandates and what to do about it. | ||
| But Frank, you see right there, one of the problems you've got, you've got in New York City right now, you have medical apartheid. | ||
| People are sending me things all day long from the, you know, my old haunts of the Irish pubs, the Irish bars, all the places we used to go, they got signs on. | ||
| You can't come in unless you've had the vaccines. | ||
| I'm not talking the five-star restaurants. | ||
| I'm talking about Absolutely. | ||
| Thank you for having me back, Steve. | ||
| Right? Can't go in there. So Frank, tell us what's going on and what does your piece say about this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. Thank you for having me back, Steve. So I'm coming to you from the free state of Montana. | |
| And here in Montana, the unvaccinated are protected. | ||
| The vaccination status of an individual cannot be used against them in any way to discriminate against them. | ||
| And that is the, you know, that's the gold standard for where we want to go. | ||
| But unfortunately, while the Biden administration is in full retreat in Afghanistan, they're going full speed ahead against the unvaccinated, against the deplorables. | ||
| here at home. | ||
| I'm trying to find ways to get word out to people, to encourage lawyers to fight back. | ||
| It isn't necessary to surrender to the whims of the federal bureaucracy. | ||
| And remember, this is really, there's no constitutional framework by which the people can be ordered to take medicine or have their medical needs met. | ||
| They make their own decisions. | ||
| They need to be secure in their persons when, you know, when they're ordered to vaccinate, to be vaccinated, that is a violation of their rights. | ||
| And there's no power for the executive branch Or Congress that is laid out in the Constitution that even allows this to happen. | ||
| The states can do things, but the federal government has no part in it. | ||
| Rand Paul, in the viral video he did about a week ago, said, they can't arrest all of us. | ||
| And that's going to be the key. | ||
| We need to mobilize as many people as possible to fight back and make their selves heard against this tyranny of the bureaucracy. | ||
| So do you think this is like in France? | ||
| That's what we keep having Miss Blake on from France, the investigative reporter from Paris about these massive street demonstrations. | ||
| Do you think it's direct action of going into the streets to protest? | ||
| Or do you think there's legal avenue? | ||
| I know you've talked about ADA. | ||
| Besides ADA, what's the other legal angle that our audience can start to talk to lawyers about or can start to pursue? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, there are two things that definitely can be applied. | |
| One is the medical exemption. | ||
| To most types of issues like employment or schooling, usually in 44 states there is a medical exemption and a religious exemption. | ||
| The medical exemption says if you believe that because of your weakened state or whatever it is in your body that the vaccine will counter, you know, be counter-indicated, you should be able to make that claim. And a professor, a law professor at George Mason University just won his case against the university that tried to force him to get vaccinated. He made the case that he | ||
| that it was medically inappropriate and he won that. | ||
| With everything in this, we need lawyers. | ||
| We need lawyers who are brave and willing to work for the good and not for the money. | ||
| The problem is they're going to get fired by their law firm. | ||
| So we'll pursue that. | ||
| We'll get the article real quick. | ||
| Does having COVID, the 35 million people who have had it and have antibodies far more powerful than the vaccines? | ||
| Is there a medical challenge? | ||
| Do they say, hey, I've got it and I don't have to have it? | ||
| Or are they in kind of limbo? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's what the George Mason professor argued. | |
| He had COVID. | ||
| He had the antibodies. | ||
| He tested four months in a row, showed the antibodies were there. | ||
| And unfortunately, there's no precedent here because the university saw the facts and they gave up. | ||
| So they settled with him and said, you win. | ||
| But clearly the antibody issue is an issue that can be played to the benefit of those who have had COVID and don't want to be vaccinated. | ||
| There's lots of reasons why you don't want to get vaccinated if you've already had the disease. | ||
| And the religion exemption is the one that most people can actually use because it applies to everybody and it's very clear in federal law under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act That people cannot be forced to do things against their religious beliefs. | ||
| And they are going to need to be willing to, you know, make the argument themselves with a statement. | ||
| And then if the employer or school refuses to honor it, they do need to pursue legal action. | ||
| But this is the way to fight it. | ||
| And you can't just sit back and allow them to do this. | ||
| From the Free State of Montana, Frank Mealy. | ||
| Frank, what's your social media? | ||
| We're going to put this Rural Color Politics article all over all of our sites. | ||

| Thanks, Frank, from the Free State of Montana. | ||
| I want to now go to Philadelphia, the Cradle of Liberty, Colonel Wendy Rogers. | ||
| We'll keep you through the break. | ||
| Colonel, put us in the room. | ||
| Where are you today? | ||
| Right now, we've got about a minute and a half, and then we'll hold you through the break. | ||
| I'm in Philadelphia. | ||
| I just was in Gettysburg, headed to New Hampshire tomorrow, going to various states who want to do an audit. | ||
| They are looking to Arizona, looking to get that courage. | ||
| We are really on the cusp of the snowball going down the hill here. | ||
| Uh, for truth and liberty and state representatives and state senators absolutely need to get that courage, get the ball rolling in Michigan. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| Uh, I will be in Georgia later next week with Vernon Jones. | ||
| And I've had a wonderful time here in Pennsylvania. | ||
| In Gettysburg two nights ago, oh my gosh, I mean it was palpable. | ||
| The yearning for the truth, the yearning to get their state back on track, and I've just, the room was electric with about 800 patriots. | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| No, it was incredible. | ||
| We got some clips of that. | ||
| We'll try to play it later. | ||
| Colonel Wendy Rogers, she's in the Cradle of Liberty, Philadelphia. | ||
| She just got back from Gettysburg for this massive meeting they had the other day with Doug Mastriano, Teddy Daniels, Colonel Rogers, and others preaching the gospel of full forensic audits. | ||
| Particularly, they need subpoenas in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | ||
| We're gonna take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're gonna return. | ||
| We got Todd Bensman from CIS. | ||
| We got one of the Apes from the Ape Army. | ||

| Day of our life were too long, we were- 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. | ||
| I just want to start with you because it worries me, but I don't know if it worries you, that Ned Price and no one can really give specific numbers. | ||
| If they don't know the specific demographics of who they're flying out of there, exactly how many Americans, exactly how many special immigrant visa Afghans, how do they know how many are left behind? | ||
| How do they know when the mission is complete? | ||
| Boy, you're a little more polite than I would be. | ||
| That was unacceptable. | ||
| I'm not interested in hearing a U.S. | ||
| government spokesperson talk about how unprecedented this is with other U.S. | ||
| presidents and how other presidents didn't have to deal with this. | ||
| I'm interested in understanding why we did only 2,000 people in 24 hours, how we increased that pace over the next 24 hours, what the total number it is that we want to get out, and how long that's going to take. | ||
| That was pathetic. | ||
| Explaining how well you're doing when there are American citizens who can't get to the airport? | ||
| That guy needs some training fast. | ||
| That was horrible. | ||
| I mean, obviously it's more than just a messaging problem, Phil. | ||
| It's not just that guy's messaging. | ||
| It's that I don't know how they're figuring it out. | ||
| What are the logistics? | ||
| I mean, you've been on the ground. | ||
| You know how this works. | ||
| How can they find people who are hiding and can't make it to the airport right now? | ||
| Well, I think you've raised one of the critical questions. | ||
| Look, I think there's somebody, I presume it's at the Pentagon, who has a breakdown about, for example, which Afghan citizens there are, whether we have U.S. | ||
| Embassy employees there, how many American citizens there are in Afghanistan. | ||
| By the way, that's a couple of Trump haters there, but man, they're teeing off on the Biden administration. | ||
| The reason is this is a fiasco and it's a dangerous fiasco. | ||
| Let me just cut to the chase. | ||
| Wall Street Journal's reporting 15,000 American citizens in Afghanistan, principally in Kabul. | ||
| They're hostages. | ||
| You know, they're at the tender mercies of a medieval theocracy, okay? | ||
| And the Pentagon has no earthy idea. | ||
| They're not really checking people. | ||
| There's no vetting going on. | ||
| It's just chaos because they gave up Bagram Air Base and now they're jammed up down there in the middle of the city. | ||
| I want to bring in Colonel Wendy Rogers. | ||
| Colonel, you're an Air Force pilot. | ||
| The bravery of the pilots going in and out, but you've done a lot of operations like this. | ||
| How disorganized and chaotic is this in your eyes, Colonel Rogers? | ||
| It's unfathomable. | ||
| When I flew missions similar to this, it was very orderly. | ||
| Troops or passengers were ready to go. | ||
| We usually had two or three hours on the ground without a quick crew rest. | ||
| Get in, get out. | ||
| The fields would be secure. | ||
| This is very, very troubling, not only in and of itself, But what it telegraphs to our enemies, it telegraphs to our enemies that we are ill-prepared. | ||
| President Trump had a team ready for this kind of thing several months ago. | ||
| The Biden administration got rid of it. | ||
| That's just inexcusable. | ||
| And I can't even begin to say how many lives will be lost and how many lives are in danger right now because of it. | ||
| Colonel Rogers, quickly, you've been at Gettysburg yesterday with Colonel Mastroianni, who has a PhD in history, to walk the battlefield. | ||
| How did you relate what's happening in Kabul, and particularly the deplorable sons and daughters who once again are being put back in harm's way, 6,500 of them in harm's way, to clean up this fiasco, at least 6,500, clean up this fiasco for the feckless Joe Biden? | ||
| What was it like to walk the battlefield at Gettysburg during this very trying time? | ||
| It was amazing. | ||
| As you said, I was with Doug Mastriano, a fellow state senator from Pennsylvania who wants to get that state audited as well. | ||
| We had met before. | ||
| We're both parachute jump qualified. | ||
| He gave us a six and a half hour tour of the battlefield and the bravery of both The South and the North in trying to keep their country and to do the honorable thing. | ||
| These were the two quotes that I wrote down that he said throughout the day with, with stories. | ||
| One is from Thomas Paine. | ||
| If trouble comes, let it come in my time. | ||
| So my children may be at peace. | ||
| And then John Quincy Adams. | ||
| Results are our duty. | ||
| Sorry. | ||
| The methods are our duty. | ||
| The results are God's. | ||
| And so it is up to us to continue to move forward and to bring a harsh light on what's happening overseas. | ||
| All of the blood and treasure that was lost in 20 years of Afghanistan Veterans reach out to me throughout the day, and we talk about this together. | ||
| It's tragic right now, and it's tragic for the sacrifices that our country has made. | ||
| And now I fear that this erosion of our national stature will go downhill even more. | ||
| Colonel Rogers, how do people follow you? | ||
| I know they're very interested in the 3 November Movement, but they also want to know more about your thinking on other issues, particularly the military and what's happening in Afghanistan. | ||
| How do people follow you? | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| WendyRogers.org. | ||
| WendyRogers.org. | ||
| Please go there now to sign my petition. | ||
| To decertify this election. | ||
| It's a national petition. | ||
| We have nearly 200,000 people now who've signed it. | ||
| Our goal is to get a million signatures at WendyRogers.org. | ||
| Indescribably, I don't know why, but I'm still on Facebook, and we've gotten a lot of really good content out on that, as well as Twitter, that keeps exploding, and Gab, Telegram, and Rumble as well. | ||

Wendy Rogers, AZ. | |
| Colonel Rogers, thank you. | ||
| We're going to get your petition up into all of our sites and make people push it out, be force multipliers. | ||
| Colonel, thank you so much and thank you for joining us from Philadelphia. | ||
| Look forward to tracking it down in New Hampshire. | ||
| Live free or die. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Mo Bannon, I know you were there for the wind-up in Iraq. | ||
| Before I go to Todd Bensman, I want to talk to him about the Afghani refugee situation. | ||
| I know you've been talking to many of your colleagues, people you served with, etc., other people from West Point. | ||
| How dangerous is the situation right now? | ||
| For the deplorable sons and daughters going back over there and to try to figure out how to take care of, and let's face it, they're 15,000 hostages. | ||
| They're totally at the control of the Taliban. | ||
| We control nothing. | ||
| We control a little bit inside the perimeter at Kandahar Airport and that is it. | ||
| And by the way, I never call about that president. | ||
| That president was a crook that stole money and double-crossed it at the end. | ||
| We should never use his name associated with the airport. | ||
| It's a joke and a disgrace. | ||
| Another globalist that skimmed money off the top, looked the other way, and let our troops get killed. | ||
| Maureen, I know you've been talking to people. | ||
| How dangerous is the situation over there for the deplorables' kids? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's extremely dangerous. | |
| Right now, there's not a plan in place. | ||
| They're there for security purposes, and then you have other personnel coming in to evac people out, and I have to disagree with that statement on CNN. | ||
| About that there's someone at the Pentagon that probably knows who, how many, and who are still there and how many have left. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't believe that that is the case. | |
| We should know on every movement, you should know exactly how many people and have some time to get them out of there. | ||
| And that's not what is going on in Afghanistan right now. | ||
| That's a good catch. | ||
| You're saying when the guy says, hey, I know there's somebody in the Pentagon, it wasn't the State Department guy that said it, you're saying, hey, don't bet on it, right? | ||
| You saw Austin and Milley yesterday, so you're saying, hey, don't think it's some junior guy down there that's got the spreadsheet, that's got the manifest. | ||
| That's a good catch. | ||
| You're saying, hey, because he was banging on a State Department guy, you're saying, don't think the Pentagon's any different here. | ||
| You think it's totally disorganized under Austin and Milley? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I 100% agree. | |
| It's completely disorganized under those two, especially when we watched that press conference yesterday. | ||
| And General Austin had, as you said, had to look around for a comms person to answer the question. | ||
| General Austin did the withdrawal from Iraq. | ||
| He should be able to answer questions coming at him for this withdrawal without having to look at anyone. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the fact that he was looking around for an answer should give people no faith in him or General Milley. | |
| Yeah, General Austin did the drawdown. | ||
| Okay, let's go to Todd Bensman now. | ||
| Good content there, Mo. | ||
| Let's go to Todd Bensman. | ||
| Todd, you've got a piece up. | ||
| It's on CIS. | ||
| We're going to put it in all of our platforms to push it out. | ||
| But it's actually very interesting. | ||
| You're saying, hey, just don't let the focus be the refugees they're trying to put into these military bases. | ||
| By the way, we agree that people that served with us that have to come out because of danger should come out, but they have to stay in the region. | ||
| They should stay in Qatar. | ||
| They should stay in UAE, Iraq, all the military bases we have. | ||
| But Todd Benjamin said, hey, that's not even the point. | ||
| You said they're going to blow up through the southern border. | ||
| What do you mean by that, Todd? | ||
| Well, there's an in run for anybody who's trapped over in that area who doesn't want to abide by any Biden refugee caps or visas or special immigrant visas or anything like that. | ||
| It's the southern border. | ||
| There are routes, and I point out what the routes are and how many come through on the routes, right through Central America, South America, Central America, right up to the southern border. | ||
| Not very many Afghans have used it in the past, but they do show up in onesies, twosies, tens, twenties over a few years. | ||
| It costs about $15,000-$16,000. | ||
| But hang on, but hang on, that's not the point. | ||
| The point is, anytime you have a cap, you put it in your article, when a country gets a cap, the cap is blown around because you see them come across the southern border, whether it's Haiti or these other countries, right? | ||
| Once you have a cap on it... | ||
| They haven't had a cap in Afghanistan to date. | ||
| It hasn't been that big a problem. | ||
| That's why you do the analysis. | ||
| I think it's only been a couple of hundred. | ||
| But the point of it is that once you put a cap on, they get around the cap by essentially using logic. | ||
| Hey, if the front door is closed, the back door is open, and I'm going to come in the back door. | ||
| Is that essentially the problem we've got? | ||
| Right. | ||
| They take the path of least resistance. | ||
| Water will always find the leak. | ||
| The leak right now is our southern border. | ||
| It's the leakiest sieve in the entire country right now. | ||
| And so what I write is, you know, expect to see an increase in Afghans showing up. | ||
| Look under Trump, when the Syrian civil war was peaking out, they put caps on how many Syrian refugees we would take or war immigrants we would take. | ||
| And so hundreds and hundreds of Syrians said, that's great, we're coming over the border. | ||
| And they applied for asylum and every one of them got in and they're still here to this day. | ||
| With George Bush was in office, same thing with Iraqis during the war there. | ||
| We had hundreds and hundreds just come through Mexico. | ||
| And I expect that that will happen with Afghanistan as well. | ||
| The problem with Afghanistanis, as we all know, is green on blue. | ||
| attacks. | ||
| Even the most vetted of the Afghani army and interpreters were slaughtering our troops over there. | ||
| They have crossed in very large numbers into Europe, also over borders. | ||
| They're still crossing there and a lot of those Afghani border crossers have conducted attacks, kinetic attacks, or they've been caught plotting attacks Over there. | ||
| So there's a real security issue with this particular population. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| I do understand wanting to, um, you know, help the folks that helped our troops over there. | ||
| But a lot of the folks that helped our troops killed our troops there too. | ||
| It's a real security mess. | ||
| I'm nervous about that at the Southern border. | ||
| The border is broken right now. | ||
| We all know how broken it is. | ||
| And they know it, too. | ||
| Todd, you wrote a book that's very pressing about this. | ||
| What's the title of the book? | ||
| How do people get it? | ||
| And then what's your social media? | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| It's America's Covert Border War. | ||
| It's about just this problem. | ||
| Terrorists coming over the border or people who are not vetted. | ||
| And you can get that anywhere on Amazon or where books are sold. | ||
| And Benzman Todd is my Twitter. | ||
| Thank you very much, Todd Bensman. | ||
| Great work over at CIS. | ||
| You're one of the top guys over there, one of the top guys in the country. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Look forward to having, we're going to have Todd back on either later this week or early next week about this whole decision, the federal court decision to say remain in Mexico. | ||
| Also want to talk about the posse. | ||
| You know, Carol, Dr. Carol Swain was here yesterday. | ||
| Her book went to number one in democracy. | ||
| Number one, I think it includes the number 100 overall. | ||
| When the posse puts its shoulder to the wheel, everybody's website blows up. | ||
| Just the enormous action, action, action of this posse is just incredible. | ||
| That's why you're the most powerful audience in all media. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're in a turn. | ||

| He's going to have a lot to say about all of this. | ||
| Also about the 3 November movement. | ||
| In this speech, Getter's going to be doing a bunch of content around it. | ||

| I want to bring in the Ape Army, you know, this group that's really doing this radical thing. | ||
| Buying American companies' stocks and holding them against the hedge funds and trying to do naked shorts to destroy them, to make money. | ||
| So, they're called market manipulators, although they're doing the most fundamental thing you can do in the stock market, which is buy a stock and hold it and support a company. | ||
| Of the 4 million, approximately, I think 1 million are veterans. | ||
| And I know many of those veterans this week, most of whom served in Iraq or Afghanistan, these endless wars for the last 20 years. | ||
| I want to bring in Rosio. | ||
| who's part of that. | ||
| Rosio, talk to us about how the apes and other people you know, what's the impact? | ||
| What are they feeling this week when they look at 6,500 of the best and the brightest, the deplorable sons and daughters are now going back into a war zone to try to pull out from the fire this basically whirlwind that the Biden administration has gotten the Afghan people and the American troops into? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I'll be honest with you. | |
| It brought back so many feelings, so many emotions. | ||
| Memories triggers. | ||
| Interestingly enough, we have built a community that's Surrounding by crowdsource knowledge, and we started realizing that there's a lot of us, a lot of veterans in the community, and we just put it out there. | ||
| Hey, who's a veteran? | ||
| Now's the time to talk. | ||
| You're talking about people that invested their lives. | ||
| Not only did they spend the time working with the Afghan people, with the local community, but also building a brotherhood and sisterhood. | ||
| This was tough. | ||
| I'll be honest, this was tough. | ||
| Personally, I thought about my own family, about how we've been affected by death, loss, divorce. | ||
| These are the hard topics that people don't like to talk about, but this is what soldiers and veterans are dealing with. | ||
| Rosie, let me ask you. | ||
| Mo, jump in here. | ||
| We've got about three or four minutes, but It's not like the old days when you had the draft. | ||
| This isn't all volunteer force. | ||
| So Rosio, you, or Maureen, or these other people, they're all volunteers. | ||
| And you're down to under 1% of the population. | ||
| And so, although I know all the Americans, most Americans support you and say thank you for your service, very few really understand what it takes. | ||
| And particularly, as I keep saying, in these wars in the Middle East and Iraq and Afghanistan, The enemy's everywhere. | ||
| There's no front line like in World War I or World War II. | ||
| So, Rosie, how is it that you feel almost like a stranger in a strange land that's very tough to communicate to civilians exactly what the feelings were about being in Iraq and Afghanistan? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You hit it right on the nail. | |
| Look, when you're over there, the veterans doesn't care about suits. | ||
| We heard President Biden saying that, you know, essentially we shouldn't have been there, that we should have been in and out. | ||
| But for the veteran, for the soldier that has boots on ground, it's never about the suits. | ||
| It's about the person that's to your left and to your right. | ||
| And that's what it comes down to. | ||
| That's what we focus on when we train. | ||
| We go over there and we do whatever the job requires. | ||
| So what is the general, what's the general feedback you've heard from other apes? | ||
| Like I said, almost 25% a million are trying to, you know, crowdsource knowledge, learn about finance, learn about economics, learn about capitalism, learn how to make money in stocks. | ||
| What has been, in the group itself, what's the talk been about? | ||
|
unidentified
|
If anything, the stock market has taught us how to follow, I guess, crumbs, right? | |
| What's the bigger picture? | ||
| Right now, we focus on AMC. | ||
| That seems to be the favorite. | ||
| But we're learning how to develop wealth mindsets. | ||
| So post-AMC, what's going to happen? | ||
| How are we going to invest our money? | ||
| More specifically, how are we going to invest in people? | ||
| And whether you're a veteran or whether you're just a civilian doing it in the stock market, ultimately it comes down to people and that's our main focus right now. | ||
| So as these series of events are developing, we're focusing on picking each other up, on peer support, on crowdsource, on saying, hey man, are you okay? | ||
| Hey sis, are you okay? | ||
| What can I do? | ||
| How can I help you? | ||
| Providing resources, pointing them out to the VA, pointing them out to local peers within states. | ||
| That's the way. | ||
| That's all we're doing. | ||
| We're just helping each other out. | ||
| And I want to, I want to touch. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to touch base on that. | |
| We do, what the War Room Posse can do is if you know a veteran, reach out to that veteran during these times. | ||
| Because not only are veterans reaching out to other veterans, but you need to reach out and check to make sure they're okay. | ||
| And if they need assistance, help them through the VA, help them through other channels. | ||
| Because this is a trying time for veterans. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Go ahead, Rosa. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One last thing I wanted to add is, you know, the best way you can help a veteran during these times is not pretend to know what they're going through. | |
| Sometimes even just saying, hey, what can I do for you and how can I help you? | ||
| That is it. | ||
| Like that, that is all we're asking. | ||
| And in this moment, sometimes when it feels unpopular to be patriotic, a simple thank you, a simple I'm here for you goes a long way. | ||
| Rosio, real quickly, we've got about 20 seconds. | ||
| What's your Twitter handle? | ||
| How do people follow you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
At ChioSmiles, that's my Twitter handle. | |
| Also, Twitter handle, at crowd underscore edu. | ||
| I'm working with Marine and a few other veterans to get this platform going. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Okay, we're gonna be back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. | ||
| Remember, the key to the Apes is crowdsourcing knowledge. | ||
| Knowledge is power! | ||
| We'll see you tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. |
