The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China, and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
So you don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
That this is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the U.S., Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the U.S.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room.
unidentified
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
adam schiff
I think it's possible, but I think it's very unlikely, given the number of Americans who still need to be evacuated, the number of SIVs, the number of others who are members of the Afghan press, civil society leaders, women leaders.
unidentified
It's hard for me to imagine all of that can be accomplished between now and the end of the month.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome back.
Nearly 80 million downloads on the podcast.
Of course, we're live, which is really the biggest audience everywhere in the world, including live in Mandarin, Simulcast, and also in Japanese.
I want to thank everybody, all of our distribution partners, Real America's Voice for helping produce it, John Frederickson Radio Network, and of course, GNU's GTV.
That was Shifty Shift, actually.
He said that more in sorrow than in anger yesterday.
Really a brutal interview after he finished a classified briefing in the skiff on Capitol Hill for the House Intelligence Committee.
When the Democrats came, he just literally threw...
The Biden administration right under the bus.
I mean, he said, hey, on the time schedule, I've seen there's no way that you get the Americans out, much less the Afghans that work with us, much less NGOs and press and media and all of it.
So all the stuff you're hearing, there's 24,000 people coming, et cetera.
I want to bring in Michael Yan.
Michael has done such a tremendous job looking at this migrant crisis throughout the world, including the invasion of our southern border down in Panama and the Darien Gap.
But he's his real expertise where I met him, what, two decades ago.
was in Afghanistan.
I think the finest combat reporter we had in country for many, many years.
Michael, you know the situation over there.
Are we creating, have we allowed, has the Biden administration allowed a terrorist super state to come about?
And we've got the head of the CIA flying over on a red eye to basically kowtow to the Taliban after 20 years, six or seven thousand dead, and two trillion dollars.
Is that where we are, Michael Young?
unidentified
That's where we're at.
It's the largest narco state in human history.
I've been warning about this since 2006.
Read any one of my random dispatches since that time, and you'll see what is coming to pass is what I foretold.
Right now, what the Pashtuns are doing, most of the Taliban are Pashtun.
They're doing what's called a chaga.
A chaga is like a shout out.
It's a swarm fight, like a beehive fight.
Everybody comes to the fight.
It's a Mardi Gras, right?
It's called a chaga in Pashtun language.
And this is a cultural way of fighting that you find around the world.
Down in Mindanao, when I was there, they call it a pentikasa.
In Tagalog language, it means cockfight.
Everybody just shows up.
Here, the Imbara Indians that I'm with in Panama, they call it a lucha, right?
So, it's a swarm fight.
You see these in the United States sometimes when people go steal flat-screen TVs.
But the difference here in Afghanistan is they're much more effective fighters.
They're much more dedicated.
They're willing to die.
I guarantee you they're going to hit the Kabul air base.
They're going to hit it hard.
They'll probably hit it when the moon is low.
They like to fight when it's a dark moon.
They love to humiliate an enemy.
A cultural habit of the Pashtuns and Afghans in general, whether that be Uzbeks, Tajiks, but especially Pashtuns.
They will pursue their enemies.
They always pursue and they love to.
They're like blue healers.
They're like border collies.
They go after them and they'll chase them all the way to the end.
They've done this for centuries.
Whether it's the British or Alexander or the Soviets, of course, we would watch them do it to each other all the time.
When I was there, and you know, of course, now they've got over 200 of our aircraft.
They've got night vision.
Of course, I was the first one to break that they were used to improvise night vision years ago.
They shot down at least one of our helicopters, I think, with that improvised night vision.
And at this point, they may have man pads, which is surface-to-air missiles.
They can close that airport.
They can close Kabul Airport.
Of course, we closed down Bagram Air Base, which was the most epic military Idiocy that somebody could even come up with.
It's almost like the idea of vaccinating children.
It's incredibly stupid.
steve bannon
Michael, how's this going to play out?
You know, they're talking about there's 10 or 15,000.
We'd only get a number from the Pentagon of American citizen there.
Would you, given your years of reporting actually in the tribes and out there, you know, with Afghan national forces and American forces and NATO forces against the Taliban and Al Qaeda, do you think, would you call these 10 or 15,000, would you call them hostages, American citizens?
unidentified
They certainly are.
They will be soon.
Because we're not going to get them all out without reinforcing.
We're going to have to seize other airfields.
Let's face it, they're all over.
You know, Afghanistan's about the size of Texas.
It's a huge country.
I've been all over that place.
You know, the people can't get down the roads.
I got a report yesterday that the road to Mazar-e-Sharif, which is north out of Kabul.
I've driven that road several times going up to Mazar.
You know, there's a Salon Tunnel up there.
I've gotten word that that's closed.
Can't get in from Jalalabad, can't get in from Kandahar, can't get in from Herat.
I mean, how are we going to get them out?
We're going to have to open more bases.
So we're either going to put more troops in, which will certainly increase the fighting.
There's no question about it.
Or we're going to abandon Americans, which will, I say, put more troops in and fight.
Until we get our people out.
Go in highly kinetically.
I don't know if Biden has the guts to do that.
But I will not leave our Americans behind.
No way.
Even though I understand it will increase, the casualties will go up dramatically if we go in.
But that's what we need to do.
Otherwise, we're faced with just leaving potentially thousands of Americans behind.
Now, like J.D.
said earlier, I'm not for carte blanche bringing everybody into America.
That's incredibly foolish.
Some of the translators and whatnot have been spies.
For instance, when I was in Iraq, one of our translators in Mosul turned out to be an Al-Qaeda spy.
And by the way, he was Kurdish.
He was not even Arab.
I'll say it again.
He was Kurdish, and he was actually spying for Al-Qaeda.
So, I mean, we have to do heavy vetting.
Right now, I'm here in Panama.
I've set up tripwires here.
Not literal tripwires, but If Afghans start coming through here, I'm going to know about it.
In fact, I was meeting with Imbara Indians again yesterday.
I've spent a lot of time out in the jungle.
I know exactly where the Afghans have come through.
If they come through here to go to the United States, I'll know about it on the same day.
And they're on their way.
They're coming to the United States.
steve bannon
Michael, how do people... We're going to have you on every day, hopefully.
How do people get to your reporting?
How do they keep up real time with you?
Because you're putting stuff up 24 hours a day.
unidentified
I am on Locals.com.
Locals.com.
I'm kind of fading away from Patreon because they're so left-wing, but I'm on Locals every day.
I'm putting up a lot of information you're not seeing anywhere else about what's going on down on the ground in Afghanistan.
I was just in Africa tracking migrants.
I was in Lithuania watching weaponization of migrants.
I was just in Greece and Bulgaria doing the same thing, Colombia, Mexico.
I'll be back in the United States soon because the big fight's coming in the United States, and I'm a war correspondent.
steve bannon
Michael Yan, thank you very much for joining us, sir.
Let's make sure we get this up on all platforms and get links to Yan, because stuff's amazing.
I'm going to bring in now, talk about fights.
We've got two big political fights brewing.
One in California, one in Wisconsin, as the Arizona audit gets ready to drop.
I think it's already with the Senate.
I think pieces are going to start to drop as early as tomorrow.
I want to bring in Tom Del Beccaro, one of the leaders of the recall effort out in California.
And so you've got all these candidates running.
Larry Elder, you know, looks like he's in the lead, but you've got, you know, they're trying to tear him down.
And he's making statements, hey, you know, Joe Biden's legitimately elected, and they're bringing up some old Never Trump stuff of his, and they're in a fight out there.
But isn't the central issue, Tom, That Newsom's got to be recalled.
The recall process has started, but you got to get to 50% plus one vote.
How does that stand right now?
How's the central topic is removal of Newsom.
Where does that stand right now?
unidentified
Yeah, thanks a lot.
And that's what we at RescueCalifornia.org are focused on.
We raised almost $5 million to date, but we have more to go.
Listen, the first question on the ballot, should he stay or should he go?
Should he be recalled?
All the polling shows him below 50%, which means that even in a state with registered voters of 48% Democrat, he can't even clear registration.
And now he's looking for friends in all the wrong places.
Kamala Harris is slated to come out and campaign for him.
And he's begging Biden to do it as well.
Two people who couldn't be dropping faster in the polls.
So this is very much in the balance.
Voting has already started.
And the state of California is getting worse by the day.
There are nine fires.
Another fire went over 100,000 acres.
So the North is really under siege with fires.
And then you go to the South.
And you have all of this crime and homelessness and lack of water throughout the state.
But the central issue is, can we get government accountability?
Can we, as a people, use the Constitution of California to say someone has gone too far with his power grab by making all these rules by himself, by refusing to give up emergency power?
You know what happened in Michigan when they took it away from their governor.
We're trying to do that here.
steve bannon
It's all about what electorate shows up.
I mean, where do we stand on that?
Because it's all predicated upon, and we're seeing polling that, and this ties back to the Rio Grande Valley, about what Nancy Pelosi is jammed up right now by these Hispanic working class Democrats.
The Hispanic vote against Newsom right now, at least the polling looks horrific.
What is the electorate that's going to show up in your best opinion, Tom?
And how do we work it so it's the electorate that recalls Newsom?
unidentified
Yeah, thanks for asking that question.
And the polls show that over 50% of the Latinos want him recalled for a very simple reason.
They want safe streets and they want to be able to work.
The polling shows it about even, but Republican intensity is in the 80 percentile and the Democrat intensity is in the 30 percentile.
So that evens the playing field.
So who's actually going to show up?
Well, the concern here is that Newsom set up all mailing ballots throughout this election.
And Republicans are generally skeptical of mail-in ballots.
But they've got to get out there and vote.
Whether they send it in by mail, Republicans, or show up on Election Day, they've got to come out in force because this is within grasp.
And keep in mind, The Democrats would want Republicans to say, there's no point to this.
But if you call a Republican up, 80% of them say, yeah, we're really interested in this, but they got to get out there.
This is Steve.
This is very much in the balance, which is why we at rescuecalifornia.org are doing an unprecedented digital campaign throughout this state to reach these targeted voters.
steve bannon
I can't tell you how big a political earthquake this is.
This is why we've been on this story for months with Tom Del Beccar and others.
And quite frankly, whether it's Larry Elder or others, that's for the people of California to decide, right?
But the recall of Newsom itself...
Remember, California is the font of, and I've lived there for years and love the place, right, and love the folks out there.
However, it is the People's Republic of California.
All the bad ideas that come throughout the rest of the country and massive amounts of the money from Silicon Valley and Hollywood and the other woke corporations all comes from California.
The ability to tie them up in a recall.
Cuomo left yesterday.
On September 14th, you get Gavin Newsom.
It's within 30 days.
We could take out the two most prominent Democratic politicians back when the pandemic started.
Joe Biden was about to lose.
We're about to come in with fourth or fifth in Iowa and fourth or fifth in New Hampshire.
He was a nothing burger.
These two are the most prominent.
To take them both out, it's inconceivable how big this is.
And that's why everybody, even if you can't give, if you can volunteer or do whatever, you gotta get involved in this California situation.
One more time, Tom.
How do people get to you to support your guys' work and the volunteers out there in California?
unidentified
We're at rescuecalifornia.org.
That's rescuecalifornia.org.
And Steve, you're 100% right.
We gotta stop the California model.
Member Kamala bragged about taking it to Washington and look at the results after six months.
So rescuecalifornia.org.
Thanks so much for having me on.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother.
I cannot emphasize enough.
Everybody in the chatroom, if you do nothing, if you don't have any money to give, that's fine.
We understand money's tight for folks, particularly with this debacle that's going on Capitol Hill right now that's going to bury your children in Russian serfdom.
Bloomberg's got this incredible story up today.
$840 million, I think, a minute.
$4 trillion has been added to get us over the gap.
People under 30, you're a Russian surf, okay?
You're not going to own anything.
You're in better shape.
You have more access to information.
You can kind of glide through life.
You ain't going to own anything, okay?
You're just on the wheel.
You're just on the wheel, and they're burying you.
If you want to stop it, one of the ways to stop it is stop the California model.
One of the ways to stop the California model is recall Gavin Newsom.
The way you do that, become a force multiplier.
Short commercial break.
Reince Priebus is going to join us.
About to explode up in Wisconsin.
All next in the War Room.
unidentified
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.
Let's be clear.
Godless, evil, amoral, socialist Democrats are on the march.
And we have to fight back, and we have to beat them in 22, and we have to beat them in 2024.
Now, our choices are very simple.
There are some people who are despondent about the voter fraud election theft in 2020.
Folks, put that behind you.
Put that behind you.
Yes!
Look forward!
Beat them in 2022!
Beat them in 2024!
Alright!
Well, look back at it, but go forward and take advantage of it!
We've got to win in 2022!
We've got to win in 2024!
That's what we've got to do!
steve bannon
That is called Vox Populi.
Note to Mo Brooks' campaign, if there actually is a campaign.
And I mean that.
I love me some Mo Brooks.
He's a good man.
OK?
The whole fight we had in the summer of 17 is how certain elements of the White House screwed Mo Brooks out of getting the endorsement of President Trump back then.
So I'd love me some Mo Brooks.
But note to self.
There ain't any 2022 or 2024 until we get to the bottom of 2020, and you should not have to be told that, particularly since you're one of the first guys, or not the first guy, to stand up and say in the House about these electors.
And I haven't heard any walkback from it.
Haven't seen any walkback from it.
That's going to sit out there.
That was essentially Tanamata being booed off the stage.
By the hard-working deplorables in Alabama, I don't know, 30, 40, 50, 60,000?
Mike Lindell said the biggest crisis, it blew him away.
And that's just not acceptable.
I hate to be brutally frank, but it's not acceptable.
That's a pitch.
Oh, the election's about the future.
Focus on 2020.
No, sir.
No, no, no, no.
Until we get to the bottom of 3 November.
You cannot go forward.
Now, once you get to the bottom of 3 November, it all becomes clear, just like you get to the bottom of the Wuhan lab.
I want to bring in now Reince Priebus, former Chief of Staff under President Trump, and my sidekick and wingman on the 2016 campaign.
First call I made when we took this thing over was to make sure that we could come together as a coalition between the populist-nationalist in the guys that are in sea. Reince is a terrific guy, works hard, and he's really behind the scenes.
People think, oh he's just an establishment guy, a rhino. I think it's very far from the truth. Reince, I want you to comment on Moe, but I also want to say on November 4th, you were the guy flying out, you went to Wisconsin, and you told me right away, hey there's something up here.
This thing with the clerks, we got to get to the bottom of this.
I want to get to that in a second, but you know Mo and we both love Mo Brooks.
I think you were there.
What in the hell happened to Mo Brooks on Saturday night on the most impressive blow away event I've ever seen in Alabama?
unidentified
Well, it's funny.
Well, thanks for having me on, Steve.
It's fun to be with you again.
And I know people think we're the odd couple, but we're good friends.
You're a good man.
And I appreciate being on the show.
Um, well, first of all, I flew down with President Trump to Alabama.
It was an unbelievable event.
There had to be over 30, 40,000 people there.
Uh, and that's a real, it was unreal.
I don't think Leonard Skinner could get that many people in Alabama and torrential rain.
It was wild.
But yeah, you're right.
While I was sitting backstage, I, we were, We're kind of hearing Mo Brooks talking there, and all of a sudden we're hearing all this booing and wild screaming back and forth, and what in the world is going on?
I can tell you, you're right, that kind of line isn't going to work in a Republican primary in Alabama, no less, with two other killers right there waiting for Mo Brooks.
I think he, I think he learned that it wasn't a line that was going to work for him, but we'll see, but it won't work.
And I know that because obviously I'm pretty active in the grassroots, very active in Wisconsin.
I know what people in our party want.
Uh, I know what we need to do.
And, and number one is to clean up what happened in 2020, which was from my vantage point, you're right.
I flew out to Milwaukee.
A couple days after the election and what we found was a total and complete disaster.
steve bannon
Okay, I want to tee this up for a second.
Although Wisconsin's got a lot of progressives, a state that swings back and forth, a lot of rock-rooted Republicans, you've got very tight traditional voting laws.
I mean, you've had problems with IDs like everybody has, but you've got, what, limited to no early voting.
I think no mail-in ballots.
You've got these indefinitely confines if you're in a nursing home or something.
I think it's always about 15,000 to 17,000.
It's tight and it's clean, relatively clean.
You told me from the beginning, you went out there, you're saying, hey, this thing is a mess.
And these ICs, they got people, these clerks.
He said the clerks took it, took over the process.
unidentified
Right.
steve bannon
And this is all about clerks.
Walk us through your 30, the case, and then how you've been working to get to the bottom of this, because this is, Wisconsin to me has always been the lowest hanging fruit of Georgia, Pennsylvania or Arizona.
unidentified
Well, Wisconsin, you're right.
Wisconsin is a clean, Cakes.
I mean, we went into Wisconsin.
The folks up there thought, well, maybe, I don't know if anything's wrong here, but maybe things need to be looked at.
I said, wait a second.
How many absentee ballots do we have here in Wisconsin?
Oh, well, we've got, you know, millions of ballots.
Hang on a second.
How many early vote ballots do we have?
Oh, well, Wisconsin doesn't have early voting, period.
We, unlike I'm sure a lot of people watching here, Wisconsin does not have early vote.
We only have absentee ballot voting and election day voting.
So what happened in Wisconsin is that the clerks of Wisconsin, including the Wisconsin Election Commission, created its own set of rules that allowed for people to vote early by absentee ballot.
Let me walk you through what that means.
What that means is, let's take something called Democracy in the Park.
Democracy in the Park was something set up in Madison, Wisconsin, which is, you know, obviously the biggest liberal enclave, maybe in the entire Midwest.
And what happened was the clerks in Dane County, which is Madison, allowed for volunteers to set up tables for people to either show up early, Or declare themselves indefinitely confined.
More on that later.
Fill out absentee ballots and then turn them in to volunteer clerks.
And let me just read for you something.
It's just very quick, but I'm going to read from you directly from the Supreme Court opinion.
And this is what it says.
During the Democracy in the Park, during those events, poll workers, also referred to as elections inspectors, Helped the completion of ballot envelopes, acted as witnesses for voters, and collected completed ballots.
The poll workers staffed Democracy in the Park were volunteers.
They were not employees of the City of Madison Clerk's Office.
And here's what matters.
Wisconsin, next paragraph, by the Supreme Court, Wisconsin statute requires that when voting an absentee ballot, the envelope containing the ballot shall be mailed by the elector or delivered in person to the municipal clerk issuing the ballot or ballots.
In addition, the plain words of Wisconsin statute specifically direct that the provisions of those statutes, quote, shall be construed as mandatory.
So what you have here is an entire system of voting that was created by the clerks, where people showed up, volunteers took the ballots.
There were no absentee ballot request forms.
That's the first thing I asked.
Where are the absentee ballot requests?
Oh, we don't have any.
There were no, in many cases, there were no envelopes signed by the electors, nothing produced.
And then they were put into a drop box, which is another illegal discussion altogether, mixed in with all the other ballots.
So,
What happened here is that there was absolutely no way, outside of a forensic review or a forensic audit, as people talk about, there is actually no way to review whether or not the ballots that were put into those drop boxes, the ballots that were harvested by people by the tens of thousands, were actually the ballots that were harvested by the people originally from the supposed people that they were collected from.
Um, other than to do so through, uh, this kind of audit, which has been now been authorized and agreed to by the Speaker and the President of the State Senate, uh, in Wisconsin.
Additionally, one other, one other, two other quick hits.
In August, just a few weeks ago, the Wisconsin Election Commission, and you can, people won't believe this, you just Google it, they wiped out
200,000 addresses from the database in Wisconsin from the voter rolls of addresses that they now determined were not valid addresses that were valid addresses in November, which included, according to Bob Spindel and others, thousands of dead people, addresses that don't exist, you know, blank lots, places where you'd find a billboard in downtown Milwaukee, which were addresses on the voter roll.
Last thing.
That needs to be looked at in Wisconsin.
There were companies that were paying for people to work alongside of municipal clerks.
And lo and behold, Steve, they only targeted the top most populated five most populated counties in Wisconsin with violent with a volunteer person placed alongside of these clerks, all Democrat counties, by the way, whose job it was to collect ballots and increase voter turnout.
Now, Going back to the statutes, and I'll wrap up because it can get a little boring, going back to the statutes under Wisconsin law for people that are following, it is not acceptable under Wisconsin law to vote early other than through one, an absentee ballot request form, number two, the absentee ballot envelope, and number three, a witness, number four, the ballot turned into in-person
To the municipal clerk.
None of those things happened in Wisconsin.
We did lose 4-3.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on.
This is not boring at all.
People love this because this is called The Receipts.
Short commercial break.
Reince Priebus is going to join us on the other side of this break.

Okay, I want to bring in Reince Priebus.
Reince, we've got to bring you back.
The audience's head is blowing up.
Because no one, we haven't had a chance anybody come in and you explained it in 10 or 12 minutes about what happened in Wisconsin.
I have said from day one that Wisconsin is the lowest hanging fruit.
And Arizona, by the way, the most corrupt was Georgia.
The cesspool.
Pennsylvania second.
But the most clear cut steel is Wisconsin.
The reason is the laws there are black letter laws and there's no real room for wiggle room.
I understand we got the Supreme Court issue.
We're going to get you back to argue about that.
But here's what people want to know.
What is this investigation?
Who's the guy in charge?
I know you've been driving this and talking to the President about it.
Where do we stand?
We've got a couple minutes, Reince.
Walk us through action, action, action.
What's going to happen?
Because this is an outrage.
And Mo Brooks, pay attention.
This is why we've got to get to the bottom of November 3rd.
You can't go forward until you get to the bottom of what happened on November 3rd and the legitimacy of Joe Biden.
Reince Priebus.
unidentified
Hey, if Reince Priebus can be in favor of digging into what happened in 2020, so can Mo Brooks, right?
First of all, Mike Gableman, former Supreme Court Justice, is in charge now of the investigation.
The Wisconsin Legislature, both the State House and the State Senate have announced that they're going to fully fund the investigation.
I think that the bill is going to fund about $680,000 at least to start.
That's, you know, in Arizona was $150,000.
Now they had outside money, but there'll be more outside money coming in to Wisconsin.
They're indicating they're going to bring in Dr. Shiva as well to help on the forensic audit.
And there are three buckets of things that they need to look at.
Number one, the issue of ballot harvesting.
You can't see, if someone harvested, Three thousand ballots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and then brought them to the clerk's office.
You can't actually tell whether those ballots were actually the ballots that were taken from the people that they were voting and delivering those ballots to whoever was doing the harvesting.
Number two, comparing the voter rolls, DOT rolls, voter rolls, all the other public documents to the actual registration roll to make sure that those 200,000 votes that were wiped out A few weeks ago, where they weren't the only problems, and then you need to look at those ballots and forensically observe them to see if, in fact, they were the ballots and that they aren't machine-created or anything like that.
The last thing is this indefinitely confined issue.
In Wisconsin, we only had about 10,000 to 15,000 people that identified as indefinitely confined.
These are people that are in nursing homes.
They have a lot of problems.
They can't communicate.
These are very limited people that have a lot of problems.
Well, we had tens of thousands of people, 200,000 people that identified as indefinitely confined, many of which didn't vote with an identification.
Those ballots without identification can be found.
Those ballots need to be looked at and observed.
And the only way to do that is by looking at and observing all of the ballots so that you can forensically review Um, whether this, uh, whether these issues were as bad as we think they are.
And that's what the group in Wisconsin is doing, headed by Mike Gableman.
I'm told that subpoenas are going to be issued within the next week or two.
steve bannon
Right.
How about this?
Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow, write it down.
They got their hands on the ballots.
We're going to get them in Wisconsin because this is the most outrageous.
And we talk about re-canvassing in places like Maricopa County, which is happening.
We talk about the re-canvassing in Fulton County.
The letter that comes from the Deputy Attorney General that threatens criminal activity.
That's your 200,000.
That's the billboard that was supposed to be an apartment with 50 people voted.
That's the canvas.
Remember what Peter Navarro says, it's the canvas, not the count.
Okay?
As bad as these counts are going to be, it's the canvas where you're really going to see the theft.
Wisconsin's got tight laws.
Reince Priebus has been on this.
It's the case of the theory of the clerks.
Reince, how do people follow you on social media?
unidentified
I'm at Reince on Twitter, so I'm one of the few people that can use only his first name and have a Twitter handle.
In America, but I'll leave you with one thing.
This is from the Supreme Court in its opinion, and Patience Rogenseck said, a significant portion of the public does not believe that the November 3rd, 2020 presidential election was fairly conducted.
Once again, four justices on this court cannot be bothered with addressing what the statutes require to assure that absentee ballots are lawfully cast.
That's right from the Supreme Court opinion.
This isn't crazy talk.
steve bannon
Reince Priebus, thank you very much.
I appreciate you coming on and explaining this.
I'm looking forward to having you back on here.
unidentified
You bet.
steve bannon
Gableman's a good man.
Folks in Wisconsin are on this.
Let everybody understand.
There's so much going on behind the scenes you don't know.
In Corman and Pennsylvania to get the subpoenas out.
The great work Doug Mastriano did.
In Georgia.
In Wisconsin.
Obviously in Arizona that's coming.
We're going to have Bill Gertz in here talk about China, but I've got to slip in Sidney Powell.
Sidney, given all the great work you've done, I know what's happening on this 3 November movement.
reinforces the fact you've said from day one this thing stinks to high heaven and Mo Brooks God bless you but we're not going forward till we get to the bottom of 3 November but Sydney I know you want to come on here a bunch of activity and announcements around what's happening to the folks that are still in jail about 6 January which is an outrage right?
Tell us what's going on ma'am.
unidentified
Well, one of the defendants has been held since the end of January and hasn't even been charged yet.
Meanwhile, he was beaten senseless.
He was zip-tied and beaten by the guards at the D.C.
Correctional Center or whatever the name of it is.
In the District of Columbia and hasn't even been able to get medical attention that he needs for those injuries.
steve bannon
How do we know that?
What's his name?
And how do we know that?
How do you had?
It's a pretty big charge.
No habeas corpus and the guards have beaten this guy.
What's his name?
And how do we had?
Were you told this by the individual?
unidentified
His name is Ryan Samsell.
DefendingtheRepublic.org is working behind the scenes and with counsel to try to help remedy and get relief for these defendants.
All of them.
We're trying to support all of them and especially Mr. Samsel and several others whose situations are particularly egregious.
We need lawyers to step up and help.
I want to know where all the lawyers have gone.
Lawyers are supposed to be the ones who stand up for the downtrodden and abused even when it's unpopular to do so.
And we're having trouble finding people willing to work for them even for compensation because of all the blowback that the left heaps on anyone who stands up to seek justice.
And defend anyone's constitutional rights on these sides.
steve bannon
It's important to know.
So everybody, hang on, everybody in this audience, we're going to do a force multiply today to push this out everywhere.
Let's get in the live chat.
I need everybody to put your shoulder wheel.
Let's get on the website.
Are you telling me your first call to action is you need lawyers, you need, and by the way, these people will be compensated if they get clients, but you need lawyers to contact you and to go to this site and sign up.
Is that what you need first and foremost, Sydney?
unidentified
Yes, we need lawyers that are barred in the District of Columbia to step up.
Show some backbone and do the job that lawyers are supposed to do to protect the constitutional rights of these defendants, who, by the way, had no weapons.
Not a single weapon was recovered from the January 6th, quote, rioters, end quote.
There was no pile of bricks outside delivered for them to throw at anything.
There were no weapons or offensive gear recovered.
No one was arrested on the scene.
They were all hunted down afterwards based on social media.
Much of which misrepresented the situation.
We know the government is still hiding exculpatory evidence that shows police moving the bike racks to let them in, police officers fist bumping them, hugging them, opening doors for them, showing them the way.
The entire thing was an FBI setup.
I think Matt Goetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Louie Gunnward are the only ones trying to draw attention to this.
steve bannon
Slow down.
That's another bomb.
What do you mean?
I know Darren Beatty's been all over this.
What do you mean an FBI setup?
What do you mean by that and what do you got to back that up?
unidentified
I think the FBI, as it has done in so many cases in the last I don't know how many years, had infiltrated certain groups and had a significant effect in leading or pushing this narrative of Trump supporters storming the Capitol.
steve bannon
It's also interesting – Hang on.
If we have a real – this commission they're talking about, if we have a real commission, isn't that a place you can adjudicate this?
I mean isn't this a place we could bring this evidence?
If Nancy Pelosi wants to say it's all about Trump and the guys just announced the other day there was no conspiracy, there's no way they saw any coordination between the groups, isn't this a chance for you and others?
To put forward witnesses and a call for evidence that shows that maybe it was FBI informants or DHS informants and all this.
It wasn't a failure of intelligence, but as Beatty calls it, a failed intelligence operation?
unidentified
I think it was a failed intelligence operation, and that's the most polite way to characterize it.
Another way to characterize it is an abject setup by the FBI to try to entrap Trump supporters And foment this whole, quote, insurrection, end quote, narrative that we all know is not true.
We know now that the people were let in, in most instances, to the Capitol, and they were encouraged to do what they did by guards themselves.
steve bannon
And Sidney, you'll feel comfortable you'll have footage and you'll be able to, if you got your hands on the Capitol Police, you would be able to get out of them in depositions or whatever where they pull the bike racks aside or fist bump the guys or let people in and there'll be footage.
Some of this footage has never been shown.
You think that that footage will be exculpatory?
unidentified
It has footage like that.
In the Coy Griffin case, it's admitted that it has footage of guards fist bumping rioters, quote rioters, hugging Hugging them, moving bike racks for them, showing them the way in.
They have admitted that they have all that footage, but they haven't produced it to the defense.
They're still hiding it and thousands of other hours of footage.
No one was arrested on the ground there at all, which is stunning given the crimes that they allege.
I think at most there are some trespassing violations, but none of the quote felonies end quote that these people are being charged with are valid.
There are all kinds of constitutional issues.
steve bannon
We only got a minute and a half.
How many lawyers?
You need lawyers.
So every lawyer that's with the bar in D.C.
has got to go to the site.
We'll start drumming these up, too.
What else?
What else do people need to do to support you guys, Sydney?
unidentified
We definitely need funding to pursue the January 6th defenses.
There are 80 people still incarcerated.
Many have been kept for months.
They're being denied haircuts, shaves, or even nail trimming unless they agree to take the COVID jab.
So there are issues that have to be litigated with respect to every single one of them.
We need pre-trial release for them, particularly now in light of the admissions by the FBI of no conspiracy and really no offensive attacks of any kind.
steve bannon
Once again, what's the site they go to and then what's your social media?
How can people follow you?
unidentified
DefendingtheRepublic.org.
DefendingtheRepublic.org.
I'm on Telegram at Sydney Powell, S-I-D-N-E-Y P-O-W-E-L-L.
We need funding and we need lawyers.
steve bannon
Okay, let's get everybody into our telegram room also.
Sidney Powell, thank you very much.
And I want to thank the staff for making sure we got some time to do this.
Thank you so much.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Okay.
In the meltdown of the Biden administration, in the implosion in Afghanistan, and the hostages to be taken, the geostrategic issues here, we're going to live with this for decades and decades and decades and decades.
Our mortal enemy, the transnational criminal organization in Beijing, the Chinese Communist Party, is sitting there licking their lips.
Taiwan, Afghanistan, Central Asia, all of it.
Bill Gertz, the top reporter in this area, is going to be here next to explain it all to you.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay.
Brother Mo Brooks.
It's 3 November, brother.
Got to get to the bottom of it.
Like, you got to get to the bottom of the Wuhan lab.
I got two folks here.
One's getting to the bottom of 3 November.
The other's getting to the bottom of Wuhan lab.
Bill Gertz is going to join us in a second.
Amy Kramer, big event tonight with Captain Seth Kestrel.
Where's it going to be?
How do people find out about it?
How'd they get there?
unidentified
Hey Steve, thanks for having me on.
Yeah, we're having a Seth Cashel Town Hall tonight in Cobb County, Georgia, one of our corrupt counties.
You can go to wfaf.org or womenforamericafirst.org and get more information.
It's from 7 to 9 p.m.
We want to encourage everybody to come out.
We've been doing the Selection Integrity Town Hall Tour across the state of Georgia.
We've also been up to Pennsylvania.
We're not stopping.
We're going to get to the bottom of it.
I love me some Mo Brooks too, but he's wrong on this, Steve.
He's absolutely wrong.
The people aren't going to stop.
And for the people out there watching and listening, I would encourage everybody to call our governor, Brian Kemp.
His number is 404-656-1776, and encourage him to call for a special session for a forensic audit.
It is the only way it can get done in the state of Georgia right now.
The legislature doesn't have the super majority to do it.
Brian Kemp is the one to do it.
Come out and join us tonight.
We're going to have some action items that people can get involved with, and we need your support.
WomenForAmericaFirst.org.
steve bannon
Amy Kramer, thank you very much.
Let's get the flyer out there.
By the way, everybody in the audience around Cobb County can do this.
Bring an independent, bring a relative that's a Democrat.
They need to see this.
This is not about Republicans, not about Trump.
This is about the American people, about the people in the state of Georgia, the good folks down there.
They've got to understand what went on.
Amy Kramer, thank you very much.
Breaking news, Bill Gertz, because you're the smartest out there, you know this region better than anybody.
Breaking news, saying two breaking newses.
One, Biden's just announced that the G7, the 31st of the date we're pulling out, also the Chinese go to the Taliban and say the Americans should be held accountable for any human rights violations they did in their 20 years.
Bill Gertz, walk us through what's going on and set the geostrategic framework for us of this criminal organization in Beijing.
bill gertz
Well, basically, this decision by the president to leave by the 31st raises the question, will all Americans be out of Afghanistan?
And I think that this is really raising the question that he had promised that all Americans would be out, that if we had to go beyond August 31st, that he would continue to do that.
Now he's understanding the Taliban have threatened attacks on U.S.
forces.
If we don't leave by the 31st, so this is setting up a major showdown at the end of the month.
We have and we're just days away from that deadline.
As for the Chinese, it's outrageous that a nation that's engaged in genocide of Uyghurs and massive human rights violations would take the information offensive against the United States by claiming that the U.S.
needs to be held accountable.
This is all diversionary tactics.
The administration is soon to come out with its Report on the virus origin, which is probably going to be very clearly stating that it likely came from the Wuhan lab.
Again, this is something the Chinese have denied and have launched a major information offensive to try to discredit that theory and hide the facts of their major cover-up.
steve bannon
Bill, real quickly though, you're breaking some news here.
Is your intelligence sources telling you this?
They're going to say likely.
They're getting the classified report, I think, tomorrow, the next day, the declass, a little bit later.
There'll be leaks.
Because Collins was on TV this weekend, the head of NIH, and he actually went the other way.
He says, hey, really what the scientific community says, it's natural.
Do you believe this report, Bill Gertz, as you know it, will actually say the implications are it came from the lab?
bill gertz
No, but I think it will amplify the two theories.
Again, my guess is it's going to be a two-handed analysis, which is what the intelligence community does.
On the one hand, this, and on the other hand, that.
They're going to say they don't know.
They're going to say they delved in deeper.
The people that I have talked to who have access to intelligence say that there is very solid intelligence information, Indicating the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Again, the scientific community has been working against that, along with the Chinese Communist Party, to try and discredit that theory.
But we'll have to wait and see when they finally get the facts out.
But people who have seen the intelligence tell me that it's very strongly supportive of the idea that it leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
steve bannon
Bill Gertz, you know this better than anybody.
If you're sitting in Taiwan, what are the Taiwanese at the top of the government there, and Taiwanese business leaders, what are they saying today about the United States as far as defending them in those advanced chip design plants from the Chinese Communist Party?
bill gertz
Well, the Chinese Communist Party is stepping up provocations.
I reported in the Washington Times last week that they are flying bombers around Taiwan This is clear provocation.
Their information operations have stepped up threats against Taiwan, using the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal to say to the Taiwanese, don't expect the United States to come to your defense.
The president of Taiwan, in response to that, said Taiwan's job is to get stronger to prevent the Chinese from taking over their country.
It's a very Significant flashpoint, the 100-mile Taiwan Strait between the mainland and Taiwan right now.
We've had two Indo-Pecan commanders come out and say that it's only a matter of time before the Chinese move militarily against Taiwan.
And with the Biden administration projecting weakness all around through all of its policies, it's become a very dangerous situation.
steve bannon
Real quickly, we got 30 seconds.
If Biden leaves American citizens behind, forget the Afghans that work with, they leave American citizens behind in Afghanistan to be used as hostages by the Taliban, what will that do to American prestige in the eyes of the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing?
bill gertz
Oh, it will be a clear signal to Beijing that their false narrative that America is a power in decline will be promoted.
They're also triangulating between Pakistan and Afghanistan and China.
These three states are working against the United States.
I interviewed David Stilwell, the former Assistant Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific Affairs.
He said we should go on the offensive.
We should make it clear to the Chinese that their activities in support of the Taliban in Pakistan should be met with U.S.
intervention in the Western China, in Xinjiang, in Tibet, in Inner Mongolia.
We should make it clear to the Chinese that they will pay a price for their support of the Taliban.
steve bannon
Gertz, you're the best out there.
