The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| I thought we were going to have a cold open. | ||
| Welcome! | ||
| It's the War Room, Thursday, 2 September, Year of Our Lord 2021, now that we're back to the regular intro. | ||
| I was just watching here, and the reason is that ProPublica just posted a huge story that we're going to get up and talk about later. | ||
| Heeding Steve Bannon's call, election deniers organize to seize control of the GOP and reshape America's elections. | ||
| It talks about the precinct committeeman strategy. | ||
| We're going to get to that, probably try to get Jan Schultz. | ||
| We got a completely packed show. | ||
| Historic event last night on Roe v. Wade and we've got Terry Schilling. | ||
| We've got a video from the Texas Right to Life. | ||
| We have some incredible people coming to talk about that. | ||
| We're also going to talk about the competence of the Biden administration. | ||
| Everything they're touching is spinning out of control. | ||
| We've got Richard Barris here to talk about polling. | ||
| The polling numbers are complete, complete implosion. | ||
| But I want to start off with, I think, one of the most profound and smart thinkers on American politics today, but also does it from not just a level of understanding the whole chessboard, But also the practicality of it, because she writes for a paper that is not a broadsheet, but one of the most powerful papers in the country and therefore the world. | ||
| That's the New York Post. | ||
| It's Miranda Devine. | ||
| She's written a very powerful piece about impeaching Joe Biden. | ||
| And Miranda, as I've gotten to know her over the last couple of years, is not somebody that just has hair on fire and throws things out. | ||
| They're always very well thought through and reflective. | ||
| And particularly since we had Mitch McConnell yesterday say he's not going to be impeached and understand the mathematical constraints of that right now. | ||
| This is a very reflective and very smart piece. | ||
| The New York Post also then did another editorial piece on the lies of Joe Biden. | ||
| I want to start now bringing in Miranda Devine, a columnist at the New York Post. | ||
| Miranda, can you walk our audience through? | ||
| We're going to put it in all the chat rooms or put it up on the site as the lead. | ||
| We're going to have it up so people can see it while you talk. | ||
| Can you walk us through? | ||
| Your editorial about Joe Biden and impeachment? | ||
| Yes, well, look, I mean, if Nancy Pelosi impeached Donald Trump on the basis of a phone call, and here is a phone call that is just as self-serving and a thousand times worse for America's interests. | ||
| This was Joe Biden on July 23, speaking to the Afghan President, President Ghani, and basically asking him to lie in return for Military support, air support. | ||
| And that air support, though, was conditional on Ghani staging some sort of bogus press conference in which he pretended that he had a strategy to turn back the Taliban. | ||
| And he got a bunch of important Afghans, such as the former President Karzai, and stood up and pretended that he had a strategy. | ||
| And in return, Joe Biden would give him air support that he was begging for, but only until August 31st, which was Biden's self-imposed deadline, because Joe Biden wanted to have a moment on September 11 where he could preen as the first president who had ended the forever war. | ||
| That was all he cared about. | ||
| It was all about appearances. | ||
| And in this phone call, over and over, he hammers the perception. | ||
| It's like, you know, A pinter play. | ||
| You've got two people speaking at odds. | ||
| You have Ghani, the hapless Afghan president, saying, look, we are in a dire situation. | ||
| We have tens of thousands of these foreign jihadis have arrived. | ||
| The Pakistanis are helping them. | ||
| The Taliban are on the march. | ||
| We are in a real serious, dire situation. | ||
| And all Joe Biden cares about is the perception. | ||
| And he talks about, you know, America's allies. | ||
| Who were pressuring him at that time, because I guess they're seeing, like everyone was, that the Taliban was on the march, and they were concerned about him pressing ahead with this deadline, heedless of the reality on the ground. | ||
| And it was obvious to everybody on that day that this was now three weeks after Bagram Air Base had been abandoned in the middle of the night, not even telling The new Taliban, not Taliban, sorry, Afghan army commander, you know, our partner, not even telling him, and all the air support that the Afghan army needed. | ||
| And I didn't understand this until recently, but air support is everything. | ||
| You cannot have the army work without it, because the Afghan army was modeled on the American army. | ||
| In which you need air support to strike your enemies, to carry away your wounded, to supply your outposts. | ||
| It's absolutely crucial. | ||
| Without it, and because when Bagram was abandoned, so too did the contractors leave who had been servicing the Afghans' planes and their helicopters. | ||
| So it was a crucial question and Joe Biden just didn't care. | ||
| And later on that day, Reuters reports another phone call that was between Ghani and General Milley and Jake Sullivan, the hapless National Security Advisor. | ||
| And extraordinarily, in that phone call, General Milley is just as bad as Joe Biden in terms of talking about, he called it the perception and the narrative that's in the media that the Taliban are doing well, are on their way to victory. | ||
| Well, it wasn't a narrative and it wasn't a perception. | ||
| It was the reality on the ground. | ||
| And you would think that our top general would appreciate the difference. | ||
| Okay, this is very important, and I think this is why we wanted to have you on to start the show. | ||
| Because the mainstream media, and you saw Jen Psaki, under no circumstances do they want anybody to really drill down into these phone calls and to the transcripts. | ||
| And I want to go back to Biden's, and I'll get to Milley's in a second. | ||
| You brought up the fact, and this is what they don't want to talk about. | ||
| Ghani explains right there what's happening. | ||
| This is not simply the Taliban. | ||
| The whole global terrorist movement, which we call the, you know, they've created a new super state. | ||
| They've all come together. | ||
| It's not just the Taliban, right? | ||
| You've got jihadis and particularly the problem back in 2001 or in the attack on 9-11 was the Arabs showed up. | ||
| You've got all that, and you have the Pakistanis. | ||
| And with the Pakistanis, you know you have ISI. | ||
| This is what we keep saying. | ||
| This is the new western front of this war around India and around Eurasian landmass. | ||
| Ghani lays it out right there. | ||
| He tells them what the reality is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What this leads to... No caliphate. | |
| You're the first one to really drill down on that. | ||
| Ghani's pleading with him. | ||
| Ghani's telling Biden right there, this is the reality. | ||
| It's not just the Taliban. | ||
| It's all come together. | ||
| And our guys aren't prepared to do this unless we have close air support. | ||
| And even then, who knows? | ||
| Biden blows it off. | ||
| His general blows it off later. | ||
| That is for everyone out there, every family out there, the parents of the 13 honored dead, the fallen heroes. | ||
| Right here, Joe Biden is being told By the guy on the ground, this is just not the Taliban. | ||
| A new caliphate, a terrorist super state is here, that's what's driving us out here quickly, this is going to happen quickly. | ||
| And they're saying you've got to go and lie and basically give the perception of that. | ||
| That to me, he jeopardized, and we're going to have to go and have investigations and find out from these phone calls what information was put out there. | ||
| And did the commanders, and particularly putting these kids in these crowd control situations, did every commander know what the president of Afghanistan told Joe Biden? | ||
| Listen, you think about that phone bogus phone call, Ukraine and President Trump, which is such a joke, right? | ||
| And you compare it to this. | ||
| Miranda, this is what I think the power of your piece is. | ||
| No other person's going down and actually getting down to the bottom line of what Ghani told the commander in chief at that time, Miranda Devine. | ||
| Well, it's not as if it should not have been a mystery to or a surprise to Joe Biden. | ||
| His intelligence people had been telling him the same thing. | ||
| He didn't care. | ||
| This is the point. | ||
| And it's the point of his entire presidency, his entire career, in fact, and definitely his campaign, which was a triumph of perception over reality. | ||
| And he knew, they knew, General Milley knew that the Taliban was just, you know, at the gates. | ||
| All they wanted was for the perception that it wasn't until Joe Biden could do his victory lap on September 11. | ||
| That's all they cared about. | ||
| And unfortunately, they have gotten away with this kind of Potemkin village or delusional presidency because they got away with it during the campaign. | ||
| And that was because the media and big tech conspired to hide from the American people The truth about who Joe Biden was, about his cognitive failings, and really about his character. | ||
| I mean, we were told that he was Mr. Empathy, that he was going to restore America's soul. | ||
| The opposite is the truth. | ||
| And unfortunately, they got away with that illusion, because they were helped by the media. | ||
| And I think they're blindsided at the moment that, you know, the bluster and Lies that they've been trying to tell about Afghanistan about, you know, we did an editorial today about the six lies Joe Biden told, you know, pretending that the Taliban wasn't going to take over, assuring everybody in America that he was going to bring every American home, that every Afghan ally would be brought home, every vulnerable Afghan would be brought home. | ||
| You know, so many lies. | ||
| And this time, the media isn't covering for him. | ||
| And I think in large part, that's because so many journalists in the last 20 years have been to Afghanistan and covered Afghanistan. | ||
| You know, the best and the brightest have been, that's been their beat. | ||
| And they know the soldiers, the veterans, intelligence people, and they know the truth. | ||
| And they cannot believe, I guess, that Joe Biden is being so dishonest and I think it's been an eye opener for them and therefore it's been an eye opener for their viewers and readers. | ||
| You're seeing a lot of independence in the polling, particularly in some Democrats even turned off Joe Biden. | ||
| There was a Rasmussen poll yesterday which showed that a majority of Americans think that Joe Biden should resign over Afghanistan, which is why I think it's misguided of Mitch McConnell to just Rule out of hand the idea of impeaching Joe Biden, because of course they don't have the numbers. | ||
| But did that stop Nancy Pelosi when she knew that her impeachment or double impeachment of Donald Trump was going to fail in the Senate? | ||
| It was the theatre of it all. | ||
| And that's what the Democrats are good at. | ||
| And it gives you an opportunity to lay out for everybody, for those people who might forget or who might never have known, it gives you that opportunity to lay out All the crimes and misdemeanors, the character of Joe Biden and emphasize your view of how Afghanistan should have gone gives you an early, you know, rather than waiting until after the midterms to do a proper forensic into what went wrong with the Afghanistan withdrawal. | ||
| You do it in a timely manner. | ||
| And I think that's why it's worth going through the exercise. | ||
| I understand why Mitch McConnell probably thinks it's a distraction from the midterms. | ||
| But in fact, it's really, I think, helpful for Republicans. | ||
| And also, it's just necessary for history to hold this president to account, because what he did in that phone call alone is truly an impeachable offence. | ||
| Miranda Devine, the lead columnist for the New York Post. | ||
| The New York Post has got an overall editorial about the six lies of Joe Biden. | ||
| She's got one that makes the case for the impeachment, really goes through the details of this phone call. | ||
| Miranda, how do people track you? | ||
| By the way, what's the book? | ||
| Your blockbuster book is scheduled to launch when? | ||
| It's in November and it's called Laptop from Hell. | ||
| And it's the inside story of Hunter Biden's laptop. | ||
| And really, I mean, it's a story more about Joe Biden and his complicity. | ||
| His character, you see who he is, what kind of a father he was, and just what a fantasist and fabulist and liar he is and has been his entire career. | ||
| And this laptop, which lasts 10 years, charts Joe Biden's time as vice president and really just what a terrible, terrible person he is and has been from the beginning of his career. | ||
| Miranda, what's your social media? | ||
| We've got to bounce, but what's your social media, Hannah? | ||
| How do people follow you? | ||
| At MirandaDevine on Twitter, and the same on Getter and Parler and anywhere else, and of course the New York Post website. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Great piece. | ||
| MirandaDevine, author of the book, Laptop from Hell, coming out in November. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Be back in a moment. | ||

| Support the manufacturing company up in Minnesota. | ||
| Of course, the worm apparatus and the armor-piercing shell that is Mike Lindell. | ||
| Okay, I want to bring in now Richard Barris. | ||
| The show today we're going to try to connect a lot of dots, right? | ||
| A lot of strands of what's happening so that you get a full complete picture of where we are and don't believe what the mainstream media is telling you and also don't believe a lot you're hearing in even conservative media because This is now a free fall, and it's a free fall for a couple of reasons, and it's important for you to know the reasons, because now's the time we've got to press the bet. | ||
| It's like in golf. | ||
| We're going to press it, okay? | ||
| We have the ability to shut down the entire regime, and we can do it in the next 30 days. | ||
| Between now and the debate on the debt ceiling, this whole thing can come unraveled. | ||
| And one of the reasons we're going to talk about later Is not just their radical ideology, they are beyond incompetent. | ||
| Everything they put their hand to, everything they touch, they cannot, they don't know what they're doing. | ||
| They're supposed to be your betters. | ||
| They're supposed to be the guys that love big government or so efficient. | ||
| We've actually got a report from Axios in the next hour that I think one third of the of the undocumented kids are coming across the border. | ||
| One third. | ||
| The U.S. | ||
| government has no earthy idea where they are, and this is Axios, did a FOIA request, headed to a FOIA request, because guess why? | ||
| The Biden White House is lying to them. | ||
| So this is, once again, you add on top of Afghanistan, you add the invasion of the southern border, you add what's happening on COVID-19, you add everything, everything they touch, nothing turns out correctly, because they're incompetent. | ||
| I want to bring in now Richard Burris, Okay, we've had a Rasmussen poll yesterday with 52% of the people thinks that he ought to be removed from office over Afghanistan. | ||
| But as importantly had these massive polls of The Economist and Politico. | ||
| And by the way, Politico just sold for $1 billion. | ||
| One billion dollars to the German publishing company last week. | ||
| You had Economist and Politico with damning polls. | ||
| And Richard Barish, you've even got more analysis that shows these polls are even more damning, giving the weight. | ||
| So I want you to go through, take the Economist, take Politico, and then talk about why they're bad and why they're actually much more terrible than they appear to the untrained eye. | ||
| Yeah, internals. | ||
| I mean, I think that's why we call it Inside the Numbers. | ||
| But internally, Steve, and thanks for having me on as always, but you look inside of these polls and it generally shows even slippage from what we found. | ||
| And it leaves them to not only, it's not just the approval number, it's the disapproval numbers. | ||
| So the weights in these polls, they show what we show, 38 to 40% with independence, 41% with the Economist poll, or I'm sorry, the Marnet Consult was 41% with independence. | ||
| You really have to. | ||
| It's not oversampling. | ||
| It's over-representation. | ||
| Have you ever seen a D-plus-14 electorate? | ||
| I have not. | ||
| The national electorate is at most D-plus-4 when you look at the entire universe of registered voters. | ||
| And what they're doing is basically over-representing certain groups. | ||
| And that not only keeps his approval rating from collapsing, but it keeps the disapproval rating from ballooning. | ||
| And that's why we're seeing his approval rating fall seven to nine points in these polls. | ||
| But that disapproval stays around 45 to 47. | ||
| Whereas in our poll, Rasmussen's poll, it's up in 51 to 53 territory. | ||
| USA Today, same thing. | ||
| So they're playing games here. | ||
| That's what we're reduced to. | ||
| And they're not even embarrassed anymore. | ||
| But the point is, Steve, it's embarrassing to the industry. | ||
| Alright, so anyone, even people who are just political junkies who love to go over polls, anybody can go inside these numbers and see what they're doing here. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| So if you had to understand what they're trying to do and how they're trying to message this, and by the way, people should understand, MSNBC and CNN, these are the Economist magazine and Politico. | ||
| If these were great numbers, that's all you would see last night on TV, to kind of change the narrative. | ||
| Not one report on these numbers. | ||
| These are massive polls. | ||
| By the way, the Economist was 1,400. | ||
| That's a massive poll for this time of year, right? | ||
| This is a very detailed poll. | ||
| I cut you off, what were you going to say, Richard? | ||
| Yeah, Morning Consult was 14,000. | ||
| Yeah, I was just going to say that people should, this is why track records really do matter, Steve. | ||
| Morning Consult is in the list of our top worst pollsters of 2020. | ||
| Go back and look at their Midwest battleground states. | ||
| They had Biden winning those comfortably. | ||
| So track records really do matter. | ||
| And when we look back You know, how they performed in 2020, it really should tell you, you know, a lot about how you should take these numbers with a grain of salt. | ||
| It's not that they're not collecting the same responses we are. | ||
| It's what they choose to do with those responses when they process the data that comes in. | ||
| You could give the four different pollsters the same data set, which is what YouGov does. | ||
| You could give four different pollsters that very same data set, and they'll give you different numbers. | ||
| Looking at these Economist YouGov polls, if you gave me that data set, Joe Biden would probably be at 41, 42% approval and 52% disapproval. | ||
| It would be a negative 10. | ||
| And because they chose to wait the way they did, that's what's keeping these numbers out of the realm of free fall. | ||
| When it really does show free fall, it does. | ||
| But in the free fall, by the way, for the independents, they're the proxy. | ||
| I mean, Joe Biden is in the mid to low 30s now with independent voters for approval. | ||
| The overall approval in the Economist Poll is 38% with independents. | ||
| So again, mine was 47% approve, 51% disapprove, and that was before we got the total collapse. | ||
| We're hoping to go back in the field again this weekend. | ||
| But we had him at 41% with independents. | ||
| So if we had him at 38%, Steve, it just goes to show you, he'd probably be in the Low 40s and his disapproval would balloon even higher. | ||
| If you have a D plus 14 representation, it not only keeps that number, that approval from falling even further, but it keeps the disapproval from spiking. | ||
| It's a nice game they play. | ||
| It's a nice gimmick. | ||
| My theory of the case here, because you've never seen an implosion like this on any American president right out of the gate, right? | ||
| Particularly when he started so high. | ||
| You've never seen an implosion like this. | ||
| My theory of the case is, this reinforces the 3 November movement, why we've got to get to the bottom of it. | ||
| I kept telling people, you question his legitimacy, eventually people will start looking at other things. | ||
| There's no support there. | ||
| I know Sean Trendy's got a rift out on his Twitter feed about, you know, you don't have the crawl over broken glass twice to vote for a guy, and that's why there could be no bottom here. | ||
| That sounds like something I've heard before. | ||
| Is that correct, Richard Paris? | ||
| Have I heard that? | ||
| Have I heard that in some other place? | ||
| I think Sean is a secret watcher of the show, Steve. | ||
| I mean, these guys don't have an original thought in their heads. | ||
| Uh, this is, we've been talking about this for months. | ||
| Once COVID plummeted, he has no base. | ||
| He has nobody who loves him. | ||
| And look, even you have to give that to Obama too. | ||
| These guys scour, you know, our shows, Steve, they scour these segments. | ||
| They scour Twitter feeds because they don't really know what to tell their own followers. | ||
| So they basically scam everybody else's, you know, and other industries, they have a, they have a term for that. | ||
| It's called plagiarizing. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Sean Trent, you're a pretty good analyst over there, but Richard Barris is definitely hot on this one. | ||
| Talk to folks right now. | ||
| It's verbatim, Steve. | ||
| That's verbatim. | ||
| We call it an homage. | ||
| This is going to impact everything Biden wants to do. | ||
| Because already you're going to start to see more retirements in the Democratic Party. | ||
| They understand they're going to get blown out in 2022. | ||
| I think you'll see Nancy Pelosi toss the gavel to Hakeem Jeffries after she tries to jam through the spending bill. | ||
| But for what we tell the next 30 days being so important, how do they come back with this polling? | ||
| And the polling is only going to get worse because you know this weekend's polling is going to be worse given the debacle he's had this week. | ||
| How do they try to jam this through, imploding numbers that are unprecedented in the implosion and the depth this guy's going? | ||
| Richard Barris? | ||
| Yeah, I think they're going to try to do it off the cowardly backs of certain Republicans, because they know these numbers. | ||
| They see them. | ||
| They have their own pollsters. | ||
| D.C. | ||
| Democratic pollsters, they know they can't look at this economist and take it at face value. | ||
| They can't look at the Morning Consult and take it at face value. | ||
| They had a very large review, basically, come to Jesus Movement after 2020, because they saw what was really a repeat, only worse, of 2016. | ||
| They know the truth, Steve. | ||
| I think you nailed it. | ||
| This is shaping up, and we've seen the special election results, this is shaping up to be a What could be a very bad year for Democrats. | ||
| And I think you really hit it on the head. | ||
| They just figured just go full bore because we really have no other choice if we were likely to lose in a route anyway. | ||
| So just get as much done as we can. | ||
| And, you know, sadly for Republican voters, they don't have the defendants, you know, they don't have the defense, the champions that Democrats have. | ||
| They have the chance to after 2022. | ||
| There are a lot of good primary people out there. | ||
| But, you know, Republicans could stop them. | ||
| I mean, think about the resistance that Democrats put up to President Trump. | ||
| They didn't even have the numbers that Republicans have, Steve. | ||
| They could end this right now. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| If the Republicans had toughness, steely resolve, focus, the whole regime could be stopped in place right now. | ||
| None of the transformational policies would pass. | ||
| Is that correct, Richard Barris? | ||
| Given these numbers, that would reinforce you to do that, correct? | ||
| Without a doubt. | ||
| Without a doubt. | ||
| They could end this today, right now. | ||
|

And the American people would be all for it. | |
| That's the key point. | ||
| That's the punchline. | ||
| The American people would have your back. | ||
| Because they don't like what they're seeing. | ||
| In fact, they're shocked what they're seeing. | ||
| We didn't even get into the right track, wrong track. | ||
| Right track, wrong track are numbers you haven't seen before. | ||
| 29% right track. | ||
| What, 58% wrong track. | ||
| Six months into it, being covered by the social media oligarchs and big media. | ||

| They could help us out there. | ||
| Richard Barris, thank you very much for going through the numbers with us. | ||
| The Biden administration completely implodes, and on top of that, a massive victory. | ||
| Was Roe v. Wade last night a 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court to support the state of Texas and the Texas Right to Life group? | ||

| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| This is the holy grail for many anti-abortion activists looking at Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling. | ||
| This, as Joyce said, in some ways expected from this court, but what do you see coming down the road because of it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, this was what Donald Trump promised evangelical Christian voters. | |
| It's one reason he consolidated their support in such a significant way. | ||
| You mentioned he had three appointments to the High Court, two of them replacing justices who had supported abortion rights. | ||
| Now, as Joyce said, this isn't the end of the road, it's the beginning of the road, but clearly a friendlier atmosphere for those who want to restrict abortion in the most significant ways. | ||
| And, you know, this will be a medical issue. | ||
| It's a moral issue. | ||
| It's a political issue as well in a big way. | ||
| This is going to have repercussions. | ||
| It could energize those conservative Republican voters behind Republican candidates. | ||
| It could also generate some new intensity among Democrats and those who support abortion rights as we see this law already now in effect in the big central state of Texas. | ||
| OK, that is Susan Page of USA Today. | ||
| And boy, a very smart, succinct analysis. | ||
| This is why the evangelicals came around President Trump. | ||
| Remember, it was the Bush appointee, Roberts, that voted against this last night. | ||
| Absolutely stunning. | ||
| Absolutely stunning. | ||
| And this is why I want to get back to you about these numbers, about the impeachment process, about 3 November, about the illegitimacy, about Wuhan. | ||
| We're going to get to the Chinese ambassador coming here and lecturing the United States yesterday. | ||
| It's all coming together. | ||
| And it's all going against the Biden regime. | ||
| And now's the time to press the bet. | ||
| Everybody in this war room posse, you have to take this content. | ||
| This is not going to cost you any money, no resources. | ||
| It's going to cost you time and focus. | ||
| You need to take the content of the show and of the speakers that come on the show, and you need to push that content out everywhere. | ||
| More than ever, we need you as a force multiplier, because you know why? | ||
| We're in a roll. | ||
| I know people call me all the time, oh, we're not winning. | ||
| Yes, we are winning. | ||

|
Okay? | |
| Didn't say it was going to be an easy process, okay? | ||
| They stole a federal election, right? | ||
| ProPublica today has a massive article. | ||
| I think six people on the, that wrote it, been all over the precinct committeeman process, because the project, they're freaked out that we have a grassroots, but whether it's at the | ||
| School board level for CRT and for mass for critical race theory and mask or whether it's at the precinct committee men to take over the Republican Party right and start to focus on what's important like the three November movement right there in complete and total complete meltdown because they understand we're on the rise and they understand what a 2010 could be if we do it in 20 or when we do in 2022 and doing it with the right people remember we've won | ||
| More elections than we lost since Richard Nixon. | ||
| And we've lost the country. | ||
| That's about to turn. | ||
| That's the purpose of this movement. | ||
| I want to bring in Terry Schilling. | ||
| Just to set up, it was late last night. | ||
| I think it was a couple minutes before midnight when it was announced. | ||
| Very, very late at night. | ||
| Terry, walk us through, once again, the Texas Heartbeat Law, and we're going to play a four-minute video from the people there, because I think it's the best way to understand it. | ||
| But walk us through what exactly happened, and then what did the Supreme Court rule on last night, and what's the implications? | ||
| So, really shortly, Texas passed a bill that would ban abortion if a fetal heartbeat's detected. | ||
| It requires abortionists to check for a fetal heartbeat, and if they find one, they cannot perform the abortion. | ||
| Here's the interesting thing that has thrown the left into a tailspin. | ||
| They don't know who to sue because the bill is enforced civilly, which means it's enforced by the people. | ||
| So people are able to report this and sue these abortionists and get them fined by $10,000 per incident. | ||
| So Planned Parenthood didn't know who to challenge for this. | ||
| So they ended up losing in federal court. | ||
| They took it all the way to the Supreme Court. | ||
| As you stated, the Supreme Court last night ruled 5-4 in favor of keeping the Texas abortion law in place. | ||
| Here's the very interesting thing about that. | ||
| The Supreme Court is telling us right now, with that decision, that they are okay with pre-viability bans. | ||
| that a pre-viability ban for abortion, which was what Roe v. Wade set into motion, that a pre-viability ban does not necessarily mean that it's unconstitutional. | ||
| And so that has implications for the upcoming Supreme Court case regarding the Mississippi 15-week ban, and I think it's a really good sign. | ||
| You know, the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, all those guys, they could have easily punted like John Roberts tried to get them to do. | ||
| And don't think for a second that John Roberts was not trying to lobby those other Supreme Court justices to join them and punt down the road until the Mississippi case. | ||
| He was, and he failed. | ||
| And those justices know, this is, look, Steve, this is the Super Bowl for the pro-life movement. | ||
| Right? | ||
| But guess what? | ||
| You win the Super Bowl, you got to try and win the Super Bowl again next year. | ||
| This is going to open up a lot of different avenues. | ||
| People don't realize that if this goes through, the Supreme Court upholds the 15-week ban in Mississippi, the federal government, the U.S. | ||
| Senate and the House could decide to break the filibuster and codify Roe into law. | ||
| This is just starting to be a fight now. | ||
| This is not the end of the road. | ||
| This is the beginning of the fight. | ||
| Susan Page said that. | ||
| This is the beginning of the fight. | ||
| This is going to turn into a massive, massive, massive political issue, cultural issue. | ||
| Because it's kind of been on the back burner for a couple of years. | ||
| Not for, you know, they called the Holy Grail of this movement, Your Grail Night, right? | ||
| But this also shows the difference between Bushism and Trumpism. | ||
| This shows the difference between what Bush is really for and what Trump is really for. | ||
| Donald J. Trump, and that victory in 2016, come from behind victory in 2016, is what led to this. | ||
| This is what, and Donald Trump, right, and this is why the evangelicals, and all the Never Trumpers, and all the guys at National Review on the cover of that thing, oh, he's so awful, they do not get it. | ||
| This is the payoff. | ||
| Talk to us, what is pre-viability? | ||
| There's a lot of folks and artists I think are not as up to speed on the right side. | ||
| Walk people through the nomenclature because this is going to get to be massive and the political implications, even in the California recall, is going to be huge. | ||
| So, viability is the point at which a baby can survive outside the womb. | ||
| And that was the point at which the Supreme Court, with Roe v. Wade, decided that abortion could be banned or could not be banned. So the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade said, any bans that are pre-viability are unconstitutional. You can ban it after that, but—and then they had subsequent decisions later on that you couldn't ban it before viability. | ||
| So that's the big thing, and that's actually the huge shortcoming of Roe's. It's basically said that you don't have human rights until you can live by yourself. None of us are viable by that definition then. | ||
| because we all rely on everyone else. | ||
| It's a total nightmare. | ||
| But Steve, I want to get back to something that you were pointing out. | ||
| This is the difference between Bushism and Trumpism. | ||
| A buddy of mine, Bill McMorris at the Free Beacon, we were getting beers right after Trump had done something. | ||
| He expanded Mexico City policy. | ||
| And he's laughing and he said, holy hell. | ||
| This guy became pro-life like yesterday, and he's already done more things to protect unborn children than Bush and all the Republicans did in the last 50 years. | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| And it's just because Donald Trump was more honest and more direct with the people and more focused on action. | ||
| Not what we can't do, but what can we do? | ||
| And so, you know, we're really lucky to have him and to have all the support from your viewers and from the evangelicals in this country. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play. | ||
| Can Denver tee up and play? | ||
| We're going to play part of this and I'll keep my mic on and jump in, but let's go ahead and play from the Texas right to life. | ||
| Let's play this and then Terry Schilling and I'll be right back. | ||
| Just watch this for a minute. | ||

After September 1st, most pre-born children and their mothers will be protected from abortion through the historic Texas Heartbeat Act. | |
| The Heartbeat Act marks a massive step in recognizing the most fundamental human right with which every person was imbued, the right to life. | ||
| Because Texas Right to Life served a key role in shepherding the heartbeat bill to passage, the unscrupulous abortion mob is reeling, launching cyber attacks, casting hexes, and threatening our team and the organization. | ||
| While we recognize these broken souls as intolerant keyboard warriors who operate in darkness, we also share a healthy respect for our ruthless spiritual enemy. | ||
| Thus, we involved the FBI and the local police departments in our statewide regional offices. | ||
| Please, as always, keep Texas Right to Life in your prayers. | ||
| Now to the heart of the Heartbeat Act. | ||
| The Texas Heartbeat Act protects pre-born babies after the child's heartbeat is detectable, which is usually about six weeks gestation by today's medical standards. | ||
| To succeed where heartbeat bills in other states have failed, the Texas Heartbeat Act relies solely on civil enforcement, private lawsuits to pressure abortionists to comply. | ||
| This is exactly where you have a role. | ||
| We need your help. | ||
| If you are on the sidewalks at the abortion mills, or if you hold evidence of an abortion occurring after the baby's heartbeat is detectable, you can anonymously report that at ProLifeWhistleblower.com. | ||
| That's ProLifeWhistleblower.com. | ||
| When reporting, be sure to protect the privacy and anonymity of the women, and we of course will do the same. | ||
| Another unique feature of the Texas Heartbeat Act is that aiding and abetting such an abortion is now illegal. | ||
| Submit information with as many details as possible. | ||
| You can stop abortion by protecting women and children from unsafe criminal abortions. | ||
| Those who worship at the Altar of Child Sacrifice tried to shut down ProLifeWhistleblower.com, but the site is still functioning and active and awaiting your reports and findings. | ||
| Let's answer some FAQs about the new heartbeat law. | ||
| What about the women seeking abortion later in pregnancy? | ||
| Okay, go ahead. | ||
| Guys, go ahead. | ||
| We're going to put that up in the live chat and the live stream on the site so everybody can see it. | ||
| That's Elizabeth Graham of the Texas Right to Life, the big winner here. | ||
| There's so many lessons about particularly these organizations that are so scrappy but smart and tough. | ||
| I should say, in addition, smart and tough. | ||
| They get things done. | ||
| Terry Schilling from American Principles Project. | ||
| You're one of the tip of the spear of this also. | ||
| First of all, the reason I love this and want to play it, they're getting hexes put on them? | ||
| The left is so... And we're the religious zealots, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're the crazy religious fanatics. | |
| The pagans are now putting hexes on people? | ||
| I can't emphasize enough, Schilling, you've got to put this in perspective for people. | ||
| I can't emphasize enough. | ||
| How this has caught Planned Parenthood is so well funded. | ||
| It's got all Hollywood and back of it all woke corporations. | ||
| It's got the best lawyers. | ||
| It's got more money than anybody. | ||
| It is just it's like the Dark Star, right? | ||
| They were completely this was David and Goliath and not just the David when David won with a shot that they never saw coming Terry Schilling. | ||
| No, that's exactly right. | ||
| And Steve, this is a religious fight. | ||
| We can't deny that, right? | ||
| The left is just as religious, actually probably more zealous than even your most, you know, radical evangelicals. | ||
| Abortion is a sacrament in the church of human secularism. | ||
| There's no doubt about it. | ||
| I mean, it is sacred to them. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi, you hear her talk about abortion and she says that abortion access is a sacred right. | ||
| That's religious language, and it's very obvious they're putting hexes on people, they're giving them death threats. | ||
| This is something that really motivates them. | ||
| Steve, I don't talk about this about my own faith, right? | ||
| And there's a really interesting, I saw, I can't remember who I read, it might have been Eric Metaxas or someone, they compared abortion to communion and Jesus, right? | ||
| Jesus said, this is my body, which will be given up for you. | ||
| And abortion is the exact opposite. | ||
| It says, this is my body, you will be given up for me. | ||
| I don't really get on the religious bandwagon stuff. | ||
| We get as religious as the Founding Fathers, but this is a sacrament in the Church of Human Secularism. | ||
| It is. | ||
| That's why they're so violent against us. | ||
| We're going to keep Terry Schilling on. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| We're going to come back with Abby Johnson about her story, Unplanned. | ||
| We're going to talk to her. | ||
| We've also got Jason Jones at the top of the hour. | ||
| Axios had to do a FOIA request. | ||
| One-third of the children that have come here illegally, the U.S. | ||
| government does not know where they are. | ||
| That's Axios reporting that, not the War Room. | ||
| Okay, we've got all that to come. | ||
| A lot about 3 November. | ||
| A lot about the Chinese Communist Party, so hang in there. | ||
| A lot of wood to chop here. | ||

| I want to bring in now Abby Johnson. | ||
| She's the author of a story about her life called Unplanned. | ||
| It was turned into a major hit movie. | ||
| Abby, can you give us your thoughts on what's gone down in Texas with the bill in Texas and then the vote on the Supreme Court last night to essentially gut Roe v. Wade at the state level, ma'am? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, thanks for having me. | |
| We're really excited here in Texas. | ||
| Of course, the heartbeat bill is now law in the state of Texas, and the abortion lobby asked the Supreme Court to basically enjoin the law so that they would be able to continue to kill babies in their facilities. | ||
| But the Supreme Court said, we're not going to interfere. | ||
| That the bill would be able to go into law, that it would be able to be enacted and take effect, which is a huge win for babies, for the pro-life movement in the state of Texas. | ||
| I mean, it effectively abolishes about 85 to 90 percent of abortions in the state of Texas, which is huge. | ||
| It's going to save about 100 to 150 babies every single day. | ||
| So this is a huge victory, huge win. | ||
| We're all very, very excited. | ||
| But now, you know, now is the time that we need pro-lifers to really step up and stand in the gap for these women who are going to be in crisis pregnancies. | ||
| And so we need people to fund pregnancy centers, fund maternity homes, fund crisis lines. | ||
| Women are going to need us more than ever. | ||
| Yeah, I want to talk about that because the implications of this is pretty profound. | ||
| Number one, the left last night is now just starting to wake up about how important this is. | ||
| I mean, they're in shock. | ||
| What are going to be the attacks, just on the bill itself, and to try to unwind this on the political level, and then we'll get to the implications of what people have to do to support the women in this situation. | ||
| But you guys got, you know, we just had Elizabeth Graham's video. | ||
| She's talking about hexes and people, death threats, stuff like that. | ||
| Just tell people how intense is this going to get? | ||
| Because this is the beginning of the road. | ||
| This is not the end of the road. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I mean, of course, they're going to continue to challenge this in the court, but it's going to take years. | ||
| I mean, this isn't going to happen overnight for them like they want it to. | ||
| This will be, you know, a years-long process for them to go through the court to try to challenge this. | ||
| Um, through, you know, district and state courts. | ||
| So, you know, every, every day that this continues to be the law in Texas, babies are safe. | ||
| They are furious. | ||
| I mean, you know, all of us who are, you know, public, prominent, um, pro-life activists in the state of Texas. | ||
| I mean, we're, we're some of the most hated people right now. | ||
| Um, in the country. | ||
| So, you know, if you don't believe that, just go to my Twitter feed right now. | ||
| Um, so, but you know, that's, that's an honor, right? | ||
| That means we're doing something right. | ||
| And, uh, that means that lives are being protected. | ||
| And look, this is the thing. | ||
| I mean, women who are in a crisis pregnancy, many times they're just on this, you know, high speed train and they're making a decision in haste. | ||
| And certainly when they walk into an abortion clinic, nobody in the abortion clinic is saying, Hey, wait, you know, have you like slowed down and thought about, you know, all the resources that are available to you in the state, all the resources that are available around you and your community, you know, at churches, nonprofits that can help you. | ||
| No, none of them are sitting there saying that because they want to make a profit off the abortion. | ||
| And so now this actually gives women an opportunity to sit down, look at Look at everything that is around them that can help empower them to be a parent. | ||
| This is a good thing. | ||
| This is a good thing for women. | ||
| This is a good thing for babies. | ||
| And now women are not going to be living with a lifetime of regret because they made the biggest, most unnatural decision a woman can make, and that's to abort the life of her child. | ||
| Abby, a lot of people say that it was your life story in the film that really got a lot of momentum back then. | ||
| We've got a couple minutes. | ||
| Can you tell us the story of Unplanned? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, I was an abortion clinic director. | |
| I was there for eight years at a Planned Parenthood facility here in Texas, outside of Houston. | ||
| And I left in 2009 after witnessing a live ultrasound-guided abortion procedure, seeing a 13-week-old baby fight and struggle for his life. | ||
| And Planned Parenthood tried to sue me, tried to shut me up. | ||
| They lost in court. | ||
| That story then became a best-selling book. | ||
| And then eventually turned into a movie that was released in 2019. | ||
| People can see it on Amazon. | ||
| It's streaming there. | ||
| And yeah, I mean, I would love to think that that had something to do with all the momentum that's taking place in the pro-life movement now, but it really exposed the barbarity and the egregious actions of abortion. | ||
| Abby, how can people, and I want particularly people, I do want people to see your Twitter feed. | ||
| I want people to understand what you're up against every day of your life and the other people at the tip of the spear of the Right to Life movement. | ||
| Can you give us your Twitter feed, other social media, and then how do people get to the book and how do they get to you? | ||
|

Yeah, so my Twitter feed is just at Abby Johnson, A-B-B-Y Johnson. | |

| We've got a lot to go through on this and plus what's happened to the Texas border. | ||
