Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
You don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
That this is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than 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 and the worst happens, War Room, Pandemic. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
It's Wednesday, the 22nd of September, the year of our Lord 2021. Now with almost 90 million downloads in the podcast.
Of course, we're live everywhere on Rural America's Voice.
We're on Dish Channel 219, Comcast 113 on cable.
We're broadcast, we're simulcast in Mandarin, G News and GTV, blown through the firewall.
Later in the day, of course, in Japanese.
I want to thank our audience in Brazil, Australia, the continent of Europe, India, all of it.
You're now in the War Room.
We've got Boris Epstein who's going to co-host for the entire hour today.
We've got tons of breaking news.
We're going to go to the border.
At the bottom of the hour, yes, we're going to have Todd Bensman, Ben Burquam, and Auden Cabrero, all of which are reporting on this horrific story coming out of Mogadishu on the Rio Grande, which is what the Biden administration has done.
It's just a tragedy of biblical proportions.
For the people of Haiti that have escaped Haiti, gotten to Brazil, gotten to Chile, but now have been enticed to come up to the United States with just a catastrophe, except the Biden administration is lying.
We're going to talk to you about how many people are actually being shipped into the United States.
Okay.
Two things are going on here.
Number one is that they're over at the White House right now having all these meetings and they're talking about the progressives and the moderates.
They're all fighting.
But we've jammed them up against the wall.
All this stuff, all this nonsense about the $1.25 trillion infrastructure bill that they're talking about, everything that's about this $3.5 trillion human infrastructure bill.
It's all irrelevant.
The only thing that matters is the continued resolution.
Remember, the government runs out of money at midnight on September 30th.
That's the rules.
Also, the U.S.
government is kind of bankrupt because it's going to default on its government securities on October 15th.
Okay?
It's going to default.
And that's what Janet Yellen, the Secretary of Treasury, also formerly head of the Federal Reserve, has told the President.
So we got him jammed up.
A C.R.
in the debt ceiling relief.
They're over there right now.
They're a total meltdown.
They're saying, no, we got to link the $3.5 trillion.
That is all fantasy.
Right now, this is do the math.
Every year, as a construct, that we have over trillion dollar deficits on this budget every year for the next 10 years.
Okay?
That's another $10 trillion added to the $28.3 trillion we already got on the books.
In addition, they're talking about another $6 trillion of spending on top of that.
So you're talking in the next 10 years, I don't know, 10 to 15 trillion dollars, but right now it's put back on them.
We told this audience and you responded, and I want you to go to Worm.org, go over to the left-hand side of the upper side of the website, type in your zip code, it'll drop down, it'll tell your congressman where you can send it.
We need you to call, the toll-free numbers are there, we need you to text them, Most importantly, I need you to email them, and not just emails that are sitting there going, you know, I'm outraged.
Do something reflective.
Look at all the articles we've put up.
Look at everything we've said.
We've got all the clips up there.
Tell these people the answer is no.
It's what Mal said, the four no's.
No on the continued resolution, no on any increase to the debt ceiling, no on the $1.25 trillion infrastructure bill, no on the $3.5 trillion human infrastructure.
Here's the beauty of the day.
If you watch the afternoon MSNBC, Chuck Todd and these guys, Andrew Mitchell, they're in meltdown because they said, you know, Biden has not explained programmatically what's in this.
They're just throwing around numbers.
There's no support of this to the American people.
Now, here's what I want to cut to before we get back to that.
Joe Biden is imploding and this is before all the all the impact of the Mogadishu on the Rio Grande at Del Rio, Texas really has impacted the American people.
Polling that was in the field last weekend has come out and these polling, Boris, we said and told President Trump we can kill this administration in the crib early on just by its own incompetence and its illegitimacy.
But I think even you and I thought this thing might get to the mid-30s.
These numbers, the gallops lowest they've ever seen of a guy this quickly.
boris epshteyn
And I'm looking this up as we speak.
steve bannon
The USA Today came out talking about this poll in Iowa.
boris epshteyn
In Iowa.
steve bannon
Ladies and gentlemen, Iowa is a perfect bellwether state.
It's got a couple of big cities, lots of rural, highly educated people, kind of decent normal Americans, right?
It's where the caucuses of both parties are held.
It created Barack Obama.
This is the poll in Iowa.
First of all, great to be here.
Great day.
Big day today.
Of course, a ton going on all across the country.
All good stuff.
right? Iowa, the first time. So it's been a really a bellwether state. Talk about that poll, talk about these numbers. These numbers are shocking.
boris epshteyn
This is the poll in Iowa. First of all, great to be here.
Great day, big day today. Of course, a ton going on all across the country.
steve bannon
All good stuff.
boris epshteyn
A huge week with the report in Arizona coming later this week.
This poll in Iowa is huge.
Des Moines Register, Mediacom, Iowa poll.
Des Moines Register, obviously the largest newspaper in Iowa.
steve bannon
And they're known for great polling.
boris epshteyn
Known for great polling.
And here's what we go right to.
It's been probably about a month now.
Since we talked about this.
You've got to look at the independents because that is the leading indicator.
steve bannon
It's a proxy.
boris epshteyn
With independents, Joe Biden, and this is, you know, every time we talk, I try to come up with a bigger word.
Shocking.
Earth shattering.
Dismantling.
Disastrous.
I don't even have, I don't think there's a word in the English language for how bad this is when you're still supposed to be in your honeymoon period.
And we'll talk about that, what Mark Penn, Clinton's former pollster, said about that nationally.
With independence, with independence in Iowa, Joe Biden is at 29% approved and 62% disapproved.
He's upside down by almost 35.
He's upside down by 33 with independence in a bellwether state of Iowa.
steve bannon
We said he was going to get a two-handle on this thing.
unidentified
And there he is.
steve bannon
This is stunning.
boris epshteyn
It's stunning, and it's not just stunning to us.
It's stunning to Democrats.
Again, go back to what Mark Pence said earlier today, and this was absolutely huge, very important.
They did a Harris poll, Harvard poll, you know, big deal.
Harvard caps Harris poll.
steve bannon
This is a good poll.
boris epshteyn
And they showed that President Trump is now ahead of Joe Biden in approval rating.
Mark Pence said the honeymoon is being replaced now with buyer's remorse.
Quote, unquote.
The honeymoon period for Joe Biden, which honestly is the shortest honeymoon of all time, it's like a Britney Spears marriage, okay?
No offense to those who are watching the whole thing about her being, I don't know, but the marriages last about two days.
The honeymoon period for Joe Biden has been as short as a celebrity marriage, okay?
It's absolutely shocking, but now you've got Democrats.
steve bannon
A celebrity Vegas marriage.
boris epshteyn
And here's the thing too, here's the thing, and we've talked about this before.
When you have a president who's totally feckless, who's not there, who's completely gone, and I wrote about this back in March, how he was resembling Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko in the Soviet Union, at least, you know, when Ronald Reagan was in his latter years of his administration and was getting a little up there, you had giants, giants, agree with them, disagree with them, but big-time leaders, James Baker, Duberstein, you had George H.W.
Bush, you had serious people.
Now, Biden is worse than anybody's ever been, maybe since Woodrow Wilson.
He was literally laid out, I believe, in a coma in the latter years of his presidency.
Biden is the worst since at least then, and there's nobody running the shop.
There's no giants.
There's nobody who I would go and ask to work a county clerk's office.
steve bannon
You're bearing the lead.
Here's the lead.
The lead is that two things.
Number one, The media, there's about two oligarchs, the social media and the media did not allow any due diligence of Biden in the 2020.
No due diligence.
So a lot of people are sitting there going, oh my god, this is what this guy is, that's number one.
Number two, and I got to get back to this, it is mathematically impossible for any guy to dive off this if he got the 81 million votes.
If he got more votes than Obama.
Let's go back in time.
And people, I just want to make sure we've got this construct.
Okay.
92 after Clinton, you had the 94 Gingrich Revolution where we took the House first time since the Great Depression.
In 2010, you had the Tea Party victory of 63 House seats, the most ever since 1932, the deaths of the Prussian, on Obama's first year.
So you had Clinton's first year, Obama's first year.
You've got numbers now that are lower, they're saying these numbers are lower than Clinton before Newt Gingrich ran the table.
The reason is He did not get the 81 million votes.
Mathematically, what these polls are starting to show, and here's the beauty of it, I'll tell you how scared they are.
CNN and MSNBC never mention these polls.
Do you understand if these polls are out about Donald Trump, that's all they would do is talk all day long.
boris epshteyn
29% approval versus 62% in Iowa?
Are you kidding me?
You would have literally, Jake Fick Tapper would be in Iowa right now going live for Independence.
Man on the street.
steve bannon
Disappointing.
I don't think, and I think we've got to check, we've got to check the engine room of the war room, I don't remember Except for maybe, and I don't think it was even with Nixon.
I don't think I ever remember 29% approval from independents of anybody.
I don't think when Nixon was walking to the helicopter to take off, he was at 29%.
No, he was at 29%.
This is an unprecedented number.
boris epshteyn
No, you know why?
Because he was strong.
He's still strong with center rights.
steve bannon
And national security, all that.
Here's my point.
These are unprecedented numbers.
Okay.
In the midst of all this, And a guy that has the lowest ratings of anybody in the history of his first term, bleeding out with zero political capital, he's holding confabs up at the White House that he's going to bring this together?
They're asking for, let me just put a number on it, Steve Moore said today, $15 to $16 trillion is what they're asking for approval.
Hey, why not?
Because it's the 10 years, what they want is...
Hey, why not?
This is my point.
Nuts.
We shouldn't even be having these conversations.
It's such lunacy.
This orgy of spending.
Those two bills, the infrastructure and the inhuman infrastructure, are so redonkulous that reasonable people can't even...
What they have to show right now, and Jackie Speier, we had her last night when she melted down, says, there's no plan B. You've got to prove this.
Sorry, not sorry.
We're not approving anything.
This audience has forced this.
Into a continued resolution and the debt ceiling in one proposal.
That's what they voted on.
All the Republicans, I got to tip hat to Elise Stefanik, Steve Scalise, and even McCarthy.
boris epshteyn
McCarthy, yeah.
steve bannon
You guys held everybody together.
unidentified
They did.
steve bannon
And trust me, people like Spanberger and these people in Virginia 7, Virginia 2, these moderate Democrats in these swing counties that won by 1%, the ones that Trump didn't take out last time.
boris epshteyn
Nevada.
steve bannon
Nevada, they are in panic mode.
They don't want to be forced to have to take these tough votes, right?
Because they understand it's the end of their political careers.
boris epshteyn
Well, how about this tidbit?
Joe Biden had Manchin up at the White House, and I've, you know Manchin, I know Manchin, okay?
I've interviewed Manchin.
Manchin's a pretty chill guy.
Joe Biden, who's known him, was in the Senate with him, right?
Manchin gets in his face and says, hey man, I'm not doing this.
And here's the thing.
steve bannon
Folks in West Virginia are not going to tolerate this.
boris epshteyn
They're not.
And here's the deal.
We've talked about this.
This is not a communications problem.
This is not a policy problem.
steve bannon
This is a reality problem.
boris epshteyn
It's a reality problem.
steve bannon
You can't spin your way out of this.
boris epshteyn
And there's nothing they can do.
You can see it in Jen Psaki's face.
Do you know that Joe Biden hasn't been to the border?
steve bannon
He's not going to go to the border.
What, is he going to go down to Mogadishu?
Because he's lying through his teeth.
He can't go to the border because right now they're talking about this is his entire administration is right here in the next couple of days.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, you have forced this and this forcing function, you forced it to continue resolution, the debt ceiling, and here's the thing, you're the debtor in possession, you're the dip lender.
We're the committee.
Okay?
Management's made its initial presentation.
You've said, not interested.
Okay?
You've got to see a plan B. What's the plan?
Forget the 1.7.
Forget the 3.5.
Come back and walk the American people through how you're going to finance the $1 trillion deficits that the Congressional Budget Office says is every year for the next 10 years.
Just make that presentation.
Once you can show you can cover the $10 trillion that you're going to run up, Then we can have a conversation.
Until then, the answer is no.
And remember, it is Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and this guy named Joe Biden.
You're shutting down the government.
You're in charge of every branch.
We're just sitting here.
You're in charge of every branch.
So if you've got a plan, you can keep the government open.
If you've got a plan to finance it, you can keep the government open.
Until that time, The answer is no.
The answer is no on this, on the CR, and the answer is no on the debt ceiling.
Not one penny.
You've got to come back with a plan.
unidentified
No doubt.
steve bannon
And right now you've got them jammed up and they're melting down.
All they're melting down, they're at each other's throats.
It's so delicious, right, just to see them.
And by the way, they're shutting down the government.
Short commercial break.
When we come back, we're going to talk about what, hey, 3 November is heating up, okay?
The 3 November movement.
Friday, we got the big revelation of the four, almost four volumes in Arizona.
Updates on the subpoenas in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia.
Everything's happening.
We're taking a short commercial break.
We're going to return in the War Room.
Boris Epstein's in for the hour!
We're going to go to the border at the bottom of the hour, but Boris is with us the entire time.
We'll return, talk about 3 November in a moment.
unidentified
We'll get a sense of, of, you know, that there's any regret.
chuck todd
that they didn't sort of do this one at a time.
They could eventually have to use the reconciliation process, but it seems to me they've missed out on using the prescription drug issue as a wedge.
They've missed out on using child tax credits as a wedge.
You know, by putting this all in one, the public is less Informed about the specific parts here where if they were biting this off one at a time, there may be more public input.
unidentified
Yeah, I think the Democratic counter-argument to that would be that they have tried to do these things piecemeal over a very long period of time without much success.
Prescription drugs actually is one of the best examples of that.
It is not as though we didn't have a Republican and Democratic compromise on this issue for some time now, and it ultimately just couldn't get through the House and the Senate.
Democrats have had legislation on this for years as well, and they were able to get it through the House and not the Senate.
So they've tried, and so I think they saw this package Plus their majority, plus the tools of reconciliation as a way to address all these priorities that many Democrats ran on in the 2020 election and have hanging over them entering 2022.
And then there's this other thing that hangs over us, by the way.
I mean, we've talked so far about infrastructure and reconciliation and how hard it's going to be to keep Democrats together over all of this and do things on time.
But we also have to fund the government.
We've only got a couple of days left to do that.
We've got this looming debt ceiling fight, which is also going to take some time.
And so it may be the case that those things as well delay the Biden agenda, creating all kinds of trouble for Democrats as they look to address these internal divides that have plagued them for some time.
chuck todd
Well, I'm glad you bring that up.
And very quickly, Leanne, you know.
steve bannon
OK.
They said the quiet part out loud.
And this is what this audience drove, because you guys got on the phones, you got on the text messages, you got to the emails.
This is remember in the fog of war.
You've got to focus on the signal, not the noise.
Oh, by the way, we've got to fund the government and this debt ceiling thing is going to take time for the Biden agenda.
The Biden agenda is dead.
We killed it in the crib.
This is not the war room saying it.
It's not Boris Epstein saying it, not Steve Bannon, not all the other crazies that come on here.
It's the math.
It's the American people saying it.
The proxy of the American people are the independents.
In every poll, he's in the mid-30s to now the high-20s, the good folks out in Iowa.
These are good polls.
These are liberal polls.
This is the Harvard-Harris poll.
These are coming out of USAID.
These are not right-wing pollsters.
This is not Richard Barris.
This is not the guy Trafalgar.
These are standard center-left Democratic pollsters that are telling you the proxy.
Remember, because we're so polarized with the Trump people, the Republican Party, the Democrats, you can set those aside, right?
What you've got to focus on, as we've said for months now, is the independents.
That is a proxy for the American people.
And that is in the mid-thirties.
You can't get anything done.
You don't have any political capital.
Now he's in the high twenties.
And we smoked him out.
Here's what they were going to try to do.
They were just going to try to slide the CR in like they've always done with the Uniparty and just kind of get the CR, kick it down to December, right, and throw all their junk in there.
$6 billion for the Afghan refugees.
We are 100% supporting everybody that fought with us in Afghanistan.
Absolutely get them out of the country, but they stay in the region, in Kuwait, in Qatar.
In Iraq.
They stay there because we're going to go back and they're going to take their country back, right?
You don't get a lottery ticket to come here to the United States.
And by the way, all the folks that came here, none of them fought with us.
Six billion dollars in the CR.
Everything's stuffed in these continuing resolutions.
It's not a way to run a country.
It's not a way to run a government, and you guys smoked it out.
And here's what Pelosi, because she ran out of time.
This is the key thing.
They tried to slip it in.
We smoked them out.
This audience did.
This is why you're so powerful.
This is why people don't want to cross the war room.
And Pelosi, to save time, combined the CR and the debt ceiling.
They're done.
boris epshteyn
And now they can't decouple it.
steve bannon
They can't decouple it.
Read the tweet, ladies and gentlemen.
Embrace your victory.
Everybody talks about, I can't stop government spending.
You can stop it because you're in the debtor-in-possession, the dip lender committee.
Read that tweet of what happened over there with Pelosi today.
boris epshteyn
Here's a tweet late last night from MSNBC, Kyle Griffin, producer of The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell.
Very, very important show.
Just kidding.
But MSNBC, as we know, that's where the brain, whatever brains the Democrats have, whatever brains the Libs have, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes.
That's Chris Hayes, the twin.
That's Chris Hayes.
steve bannon
Joanne Reed.
boris epshteyn
Joanne Reed, who was questioning the vaccines in September.
Now she's all about them.
We love Joanne.
And, of course, Lawrence O'Donnell of West Wing fame.
Kyle Griffin, last night, breaking.
House Democrats just passed the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act.
First of all, mouthful.
To provide funding through December 3rd to avert a government shutdown and to increase the debt limit.
It was a party-line vote, 220 to 11.
No Republican votes.
What does that mean?
steve bannon
Hold up, but I want to get the other one.
There's one that just came out that shows that they don't have the time to break out the debt limit.
They can't break it out.
That's the vote from last night.
boris epshteyn
That's the vote from last night.
Came out in the last hour that there's no decoupling.
Here's the bottom line, right?
This is all inside baseball.
We're here in D.C.
It's fun to talk about.
But this is key.
steve bannon
You want the inside baseball.
This is a process story.
We love process.
boris epshteyn
For people at home.
Here's what this means.
For the MAGA posse, for the MAGA brain trust, for you sitting at home, knowing the report in Arizona.
steve bannon
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
It smells like victory.
boris epshteyn
Arizona coming on Friday.
Something is coming in Pennsylvania.
We've got Georgia coming, we've got Wisconsin.
Here's what this means.
This means that for once, all the Republicans in the House stood up, and I hope, I hope it gets hope, and we all know that the future of the Senate, of Republicans in the Senate, is not Mitch McConnell, but I hope while he's still there, he actually for once does the right thing, and him and Shelby, they don't decouple it as they leaked last night.
For you at home, what this means is this.
That we are taking our country back.
And it only took nine months.
It only took nine months where President Trump got on a plane, I was there at Andrews, and took off for Florida.
Nine months later, Joe Biden's approval is that, forget a historic close for a president, it's a historic close for an unpopular king anywhere in the history of Europe, okay?
And now the government's gonna get shut down because of Nancy Pelosi and because of Chuck Schumer.
steve bannon
Nancy Pelosi's gonna shut down the government, okay?
She can't get these bills passed.
You guys are in charge.
You have this forcing function.
You force this on them.
They try to do the cute things with all these other bills and the big vote's gonna come on.
You know, people call me up.
Oh, you gotta help us stop and add a Buy in America.
I said, add what?
You gotta add a Buy in America?
I said, will you stop that?
It's nonsense.
Focus on the CR.
This audience did it.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
And you're the one-eyed jacks right now, okay?
Because we stopped this.
What you have to do is bombard it.
Go to our site.
Put your zip code in there.
I need every person, part of this posse, whether you're seeing this live or you're seeing it on a podcast, get to your congressman.
Get to your senator.
If you live in a district that's got one of these moderate Democrats, blow their phones up right now.
Send an email.
Say under no uncertain circumstances can they vote for a continuing resolution.
The Democrats have got to come back and show how they're going to fund the government.
Forget all this other stuff on top of it.
Just tell us how you're going to fund the $1 trillion deficits that are every year by Congressional Budget Office, Congressional Research Service, for the next 10 years.
$1 trillion a year.
How are you going to do it?
Because if we allow them to just increase the debt ceiling or do these continued resolutions, Everybody under the age of 45, I keep calling you guys Russian serfs, because you don't own anything, you're not going to own anything.
It's going to be worse.
Now you're going to be debt slaves.
You can never reverse this.
Everybody says this time it's completely different.
No, it's not going to be completely different.
You've got this radical French idea from, what's the guy's name, Piketty.
Modern Monetary Theory, which says deficits don't matter.
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon
We can just run this thing forever.
boris epshteyn
How does it work for a house?
steve bannon
Yeah, it doesn't work.
It doesn't mean anything until it does.
unidentified
Right.
steve bannon
And then it's too late.
And then it's too late.
This is a radical idea that's now infected Wall Street.
By the way, The Hill today says the big problem here in the continued resolution, the debt ceiling, is the Republican Party going against the corporate interests that have always backed them.
Right?
Well, guess what?
And they said, now the Republican Party is a true populist party.
boris epshteyn
Hello!
steve bannon
We are a populist party.
And we're not handing out the goodies to the uniparty lobbyists for the globalist corporations.
The woke corporations, the ones that debanked you, the ones that kicked you off social media, now it's time for them to fend for themselves.
Here's the bottom line.
They need you.
The American people, it's your full faith and credit.
Remember, if they had the ability on taxes to pay for this or they could sell the bonds, they wouldn't need you.
They need you for one trillion dollars a year to go on your backs and your children's backs.
That's what, remember, this whole thing of printing money, that's a fancy term for it's on your, the Treasury issues the bond, the Fed buys a bond.
You are the Federal Reserve.
There's no tomato cans with cash out in the back of that.
boris epshteyn
The full faith and credit is literally you.
steve bannon
The Deplorables.
boris epshteyn
The full faith and credit is the men and women of this country.
There's no Gold State, there's no Fort Knox, there's no Treasury.
The full faith and credit, as they call it, is the Deplorables, is MAGA.
steve bannon
Now here's the power of this show, here's the power of this audience.
This is the first time it was ever explained to the American people, and they're in righteous indignation.
They said, not on our watch.
We're not going to do this to our kids.
We're not going to do it to our grandkids.
And more importantly, we're not going to do it to ourselves.
Because in your lived experience, we're going to become a debtor nation like nobody's business.
How did we get $28 trillion?
First off, $5 trillion of it, $5 trillion of it came from January 20th of the day, the time we started this show, because we had the massive drop in aggregate demand because of the CCP virus.
$5 trillion under President Trump and Biden.
Okay, Joe Biden.
We need to get to Beijing and get our $5 trillion.
The first thing before you start talking to me about the debt limit, let's get the $5 trillion we had to spend on the CCP virus.
They did it.
Now you've got a whistleblower that's come out and said they absolutely did it, starting the military games.
They owe us the $5 trillion in reparations.
That's the first one.
The Democrats can show that they've got enough stones to go to Beijing and demand our money back.
Then you can start to have a conversation.
How are you going to finance this?
Right now, those guys owe us the money.
They have nothing.
Jackie Speier was on here.
We pulled her clip.
They said, where's your plan B?
boris epshteyn
No plan B. And no plan B. Not even a thought of plan B. Can't even discuss a plan B. And again, you're talking about people like Jackie Speier, literally could not balance a $10 checkbook.
Okay?
If Jackie Spier asked me for a loan, I would say, loan?
Maybe here's 30 cents.
steve bannon
It's an action for 15 trade-downs.
Short commercial break.
Boris is going to be back with us.
He's going to talk about more polling.
Also about the new website.
We're going to get the three notes.
unidentified

steve bannon
Please, will you go there so he gets off my back?
He's been bugging me about this.
unidentified
It's a big deal.
steve bannon
It is a big deal.
It's fantastic.
Short commercial break.
We're going to go back to Mogadishu on the Rio Grande next in the War Room.
unidentified
Okay, welcome back.
steve bannon
Let's go to the border.
We got Ben Berquam, Todd Bensman, and Auden Cabrera down there covering the story non-stop.
Do we have Ben first?
Ben Berquam, tell us what's going on.
But Todd Bensman's got a huge story up today on CIS.
I want to get to that in a second, but Ben, tell us what's going on.
ben bergquam
Steve, so we're in route back from Acuna back to Piedras Negras and then we have to cross back over into Eagle Pass.
But I wanted to stop along the road and show you what this is basically.
But what you have behind me is what Mexico, the life of Mexico.
This is the vast majority of Mexico's second world country.
Most of the people in this country are struggling just to get by, but they're doing it.
They're struggling.
Most of them aren't trying to break into America.
But what we have now is all of these globalist organizations, all of these people coming up.
And they're destroying what little the people of Mexico have, especially along the border.
And these people like Al Sharpton, who's going to show up in Del Rio tomorrow, pushing this lie, pushing the CNN, MSNBC lie about all they can talk about are the Border Patrol agents on horseback while they're ignoring the fact that they created this problem.
I mean, it is absolutely disgusting.
Todd?
unidentified
Hold, hold, hold.
steve bannon
Ben, hang on a second.
You've got to let Brandon Judd and every Border Patrol agent down there.
Let them know the entire war room posse has their back, okay?
These guys are the bravest men and women in government service right now, okay?
Down there on that border trying to protect folks in the United States with Biden and these guys not having their back and looking for anything.
Anything that I'll throw him under investigation.
ben bergquam
I'm going to pass it over to Todd, but I will tell him I'm going to beat him.
Okay, I'm going to be meeting with Brandon hopefully tomorrow.
I hope he's not going along with the dog and pony show that they're going to be doing down there.
No way.
Absolutely.
Border Patrol needs to know that every single American stands with them.
Every single American stands with Border Patrol.
They need to know that and we need to show them that.
I got you back, Steve, but 100%.
A hundred percent.
We stand with them and we stand against the enemies of this nation that are creating this problem.
That's the Democrats and the globalist elite that are pushing this.
steve bannon
Amen.
Todd Bensman, your article.
Where are they going?
Tell us.
todd bensman
Okay, there are three things happening.
For one thing, the Biden administration is busing hundreds per night out of the camp into remote border patrol stations, and they are being processed into the United States.
I don't know what the breakdown is.
They won't say what the breakdown is, but Definitely, migrants are being released into the United States on commercial buses now.
That's one way.
The numbers are down to about 8,200, 8,500 from 15,000.
They are determined to eliminate this camp.
At the camp, they are determined to eliminate this camp as a political eyesore that it is, okay?
And they will.
It'll probably be gone at this rate in a week or so.
The other thing that's happening is Haitians are voluntarily fleeing this camp to the south.
We saw about a thousand of them in a park just across the Rio Grande.
They told us the reason is that they fear being deported to Haiti.
About a thousand of them have been deported to Haiti.
Men, women and children.
This is a policy that is incredibly effective from the Trump playbook.
It's right out of the Trump playbook.
We hope that they keep it.
Haitians are boarding buses, buying tickets, and leaving.
And the other thing is that the Mexicans are pouncing on them.
They're hounding them, doing raids from hotel to hotel to hotel all night long.
We went to those raids and they are hounding these people out.
But the other thing I want to mention is that while the attention is focused on the camp, We were watching illegal immigration all around it still going on outside of the lens range of cameras that are all down there for Al Sharpton.
So while Al Sharpton is down there we will still be having lots and lots of Illegal immigration.
They weren't Haitians though.
They were mostly Cubans and we saw some Hondurans, but the Haitians are scared to death by this deportation order.
And if I could say one more thing, I mentioned this before, that this policy right out of the Trump playbook was pulled by the Biden administration because it It is so powerful.
When this camp is gone and the media goes home and the Al Sharptons disappear, this policy needs to remain in place and not just apply to Haitians, but to all the nationalities that are coming over all along the border.
And we'll be watching to see if it is still in place.
steve bannon
Here's the key thing.
It's obvious.
You just do the math.
It's obvious that the decrease is not coming from the deportations back to Haiti.
That's all a cover.
They're trying to make that a big deal.
Also, people gotta look at the violence here.
I mean, that's what they're trying to get the young military-age guys out of here.
Because they've already jumped on a bus.
A guy got bit.
They bit one of the guys.
The situation with the plane when it landed back in the capital of Haiti.
I mean, this is very dangerous.
But what they're doing Is they're shipping guys out into San Antonio and into the heartland of Texas as much as they can do under the cover of night.
That's what's so important about your reporting, Todd Bensman, and this is what we're going to hold McAllister accountable.
You saw that picture in Daily Mail that had the fence, the ring of the DPS, the Texas Rangers, and the state troopers of Texas, the police cars, right, to try to make a makeshift wall.
This is not, this is not an emergency, it's not a crisis, this is an invasion.
Brought on, and by the way, this is not to demonize these folks from Haiti.
This is brought on by the Biden administration, okay?
The folks in Haiti that actually got to Brazil and Chile are making a break and giving every penny they've got on earth to the drug cartels, to the cartels, the human trafficking cartels.
This is all brought on by Joe Biden and these demons that are in the White House.
Boris.
boris epshteyn
This, the deportation to Haiti, is the drone strike in Afghanistan.
steve bannon
Amen.
boris epshteyn
It is the same exact thing.
You've got to connect the dots, folks.
It's all about, there's no coincidence, the same thing.
It is the same absolute nonsense that this administration is doing.
And by the way, Wag the Dog's been around a long time, but it's never been done as badly and blatantly as this.
The same drone strike that killed seven kids in Afghanistan That's what they're doing with these planes in Haiti.
steve bannon
They don't respect human life.
They don't respect the dignity of these people.
Donald Trump, and they demonized Donald Trump, Donald Trump's remain in Mexico, Donald Trump's remain in Mexico was the humanitarian policy, right?
You wouldn't, because he gutted the business model of the cartels.
Okay, this is these folks that are in Brazil and Chile to take every penny they've had on earth and give it to these demons in In the cartels to be trafficked up to North America and then to have Mogadishu.
boris epshteyn
In conditions you can't even imagine.
Can I have a ten second Steve?
steve bannon
Yeah, go ahead.
boris epshteyn
To all of you On MSNBC, on CNN, Jake Tapper, Pearl Clutching, Libs, and to the Rhino Republicans.
Oh my god, Donald Trump, the mean tweets.
Joe Biden is nice.
Meghan McCain.
I've known Joe Biden for a long time.
Oh, he's a nice enough guy.
To all of you, this is what you got.
steve bannon
Yep, big time.
boris epshteyn
This is what you got.
Big time.
You got these demons in the White House.
unidentified
Big time.
boris epshteyn
Who are not just completely incapable, but they're also obviously bad people, and now people are dying.
Americans are dying, innocent Afghanis are dying, and innocent Haitians are dying.
You've got blood on your hands.
steve bannon
Todd, we're going to put up the book and report.
Is Auden right there?
Because I've got to ask Auden about... This is the other thing that upsets me.
The hard-working, working-class Hispanics in the Rio Grande Valley, this is all being dumped on them.
But as important, the people that play by the rules in Mexico and come across the International Bridge every day with a work permit to work or to shop, right, or to see family.
Now they've got to go around, the bridge is closed, they've got to go around, what, 50 miles around the Eagle Pass.
Think how tough life is when you don't have a car.
You're used to walking across the bridge.
Go to Del Rio.
Is Auden there?
Tell us about what the folks in northern Mexico think now that this crisis, this invasion, has been put upon their shoulders.
Talk to us about it.
unidentified
Yes sir, so even my family, friends, everybody, businesses, everybody is frustrated.
It's really affecting everyone and I mean absolutely everyone now.
Initially it was those, a select few, but now it's everybody that's being affected on both sides of the border and all they want is open up the bridge.
We need to continue with our life.
We can't let this We're doing everything legally.
Why is it affecting us?
Why are we being the ones being affected?
And yet we see the migrants still crossing back and forth underneath the bridge.
So there has to be a point where this has to end and we can return.
Yes, sir.
steve bannon
Yeah, we have to return to normal life.
Auden, have you met... Yes, yes.
And I know the three of you guys have been interviewing the Haitians.
Have any of the Haitians said anything about the fact that Joe Biden basically said it's time to come, the borders open, and that's why they came up from Brazil and Chile and from Central America?
Is that the driving force, as you've done your reporting and your investigative reporting, that's driven this kind of human wave of folks up there?
unidentified
Yes sir, it is and it's 100% and it's not just the Haitians, it's Cubans, it's Venezuelans.
Just today I spoke with the family of Cubans and I asked them, did you just leave Cuba now?
He says, oh no, we left Cuba three years ago.
We've been living in Ecuador, but right now is the perfect time to come to the United States and I'm going to cross today.
Once I make it to the US, I'm going to go get my family.
I still have to have family in Ecuador, so I'm going to come get them.
And that's the message from From Venezuelans, Cubans, Haitians, everybody that I'm talking to, they've got the message.
Right now is the perfect time to come over and then bring your families also.
Yes.
steve bannon
Unbelievable.
Auden, what is your social media?
How do people get to find you?
Because you guys are putting up stuff all day long and people have got to be on this.
I want to get it across all platforms.
Auden, what is your social media?
How do people get to your reporting?
unidentified
Yes, sir.
I'm on Twitter and Gitter as Auden Cabello.
boris epshteyn
Odin gets it.
He's on Getter.
Coming in hot.
steve bannon
Todd, how do people get to your book and how do they get to the amazing footage you're putting up in this great new article that's at CIS?
todd bensman
T. Benzman at Getter and also BenzmanTodd on Twitter and you know you can find me on LinkedIn too.
steve bannon
Todd, I gotta tell you, you're reporting in this article.
You're the truth teller here because the Biden administration is lying to your face about what's going on here.
Todd Bensman breaks it all down.
Get that piece.
We've got it up now in the chat.
Burquam, Ben, amazing.
So great you're back in the field.
boris epshteyn
Love, Ben.
steve bannon
Love, Ben.
Ben, how do people get to you and watch your stuff?
ben bergquam
Love you guys, too.
Same thing, Real America's Voice, this is really the network that's telling the truth while other networks aren't doing it.
And then FrontlineAmerica.com and at Ben Burquam.
And just back to your point, the people that are dying out in the desert, the people that are being molested and raped along the way, the blood is on...
steve bannon
By the way, I did give a shout out to Rob Sigg, Howard Diamond, the entire team at Real America Source, the producers in Denver.
Incredible the job you've made to get us the hookups and the connections, right?
Both on the Mexican side and on Del Rio, Texas in Val Verde County.
I want to thank everybody, plus officials down there, the sheriffs, border patrol.
I want to let Brandon Judd and the Union know we have your back 1000%.
You people are heroes.
You're heroes.
Boris, your thoughts analysis?
boris epshteyn
My thoughts is this.
We have never had a crisis in this country since the Civil War.
The level of Afghanistan?
the level of the border right now and i am this is this is not some hyperbole i usually say well you know the sixties was worse with us the world war two never since was since the civil war worst crisis ever the border another worst chris ever is afghanistan the debt is another work we have crises right now because of this the same legitimate president scale each crisis on its own qualifies as being historically terrible
And if you put it all together, here's what I'm going to say.
I was on this show on January 20th after President Trump took off, okay?
To Palm Beach.
And we all knew it was going to be bad.
steve bannon
You were out at Andrews.
boris epshteyn
I was literally live from Andrews.
I think even in my worst nightmares, in my worst nightmares, I did not imagine it being so bad.
But, with that, unquestionably comes an opportunity for the MAGA movement to stay strong and fight back.
steve bannon
MAGA's defending the Republic.
unidentified
Yes.
boris epshteyn
Where are we?
steve bannon
Jam them up right now.
Okay, short commercial break.

Not everything's ready.
steve bannon
You can't hear me chewing out the guy's... Okay.
Keep going.
boris epshteyn
Here's the deal.
unidentified
Right.
boris epshteyn
Okay?
Right now, directly from New York, directly from the Supreme Court of the State of New York County, a lawsuit against America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani dismissed This is live from one of his top lawyers, Adam Katz, who you know.
steve bannon
Love Adam Katz.
boris epshteyn
Tough lawyer.
steve bannon
Tough.
boris epshteyn
A voter who's suing the mayor, suing President Trump and Deutsche Bank for 8.6 billion dollars.
All kinds of nonsense.
Actually thought they had a chance in court.
All claims rejected by the judge.
All claims rejected.
steve bannon
Rudy's here tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
unidentified
Big.
boris epshteyn
This is big.
steve bannon
We're going to start the show.
boris epshteyn
Big win for the mayor.
unidentified
Big win for America.
steve bannon
There's a huge story in Politico today.
We're going to get all to the bottom of it with Mayor Giuliani tomorrow.
Okay, do I have Ken Burns?
Let's play Ken Burns and I'll have Boris respond to it.
unidentified
You've been making films about the American experience and about America for the, you know, whatever.
It's been over 40 years.
Do you have a cynical view now of where we're headed and where we've come from?
Is it doom and gloom, or do you feel okay?
Well, I don't think anybody has the luxury at this moment of being cynical.
Cynical is a, you know, like just debauchery is just a luxury of too much time and too many things that you're not doing with your hands that you begin doing with your hands.
It's really serious.
There are three great crises before this, the Civil War, the Depression, and World War II.
This is equal to it.
And it's the first time that we've got.
Lincoln gave this great talk when he was very, very young to the Young Men's Lyceum on a Saturday afternoon, I think it was.
And people will write in and tell you that that wasn't a Saturday afternoon.
It was an afternoon conversation about foreign policy.
He said, this is when he's like not even 29.
He's a lawyer in Springfield.
He said, when shall we expect the approach of danger?
Shall some transatlantic giant step the earth and crush us at a blow?
And then he answered his own question.
Never all the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River, make a track in the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years.
If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.
As a nation of free men, we will live through all time or die by suicide.
And we're, you know, we're looking right down the muzzle of that gun.
steve bannon
Ken Burns, one of the great filmmakers of the time, a super progressive, Civil War, looking down the muzzle, anti-democratic forces, by the way, he had it wrong, American Revolution, Civil War, Great Depression, World War II, Ken, and one in the same, or inextricably linked, Boris Epstein.
boris epshteyn
So think about this, you've got Steve Bannon and Boris Epstein saying that this is the greatest crisis of all time since the Civil War, and you just had Ken Burns, who is as far left as they get, progressive, saying, okay, and I'm going to say, okay, Revolutionary War, yes, major crisis, a win, okay?
Civil War, worst crisis in American history up until now.
Great Depression, World War II, yes, a crisis, but one that was getting better and better and better as it came along.
This is getting worse and worse and worse.
There's no light at the end of the tunnel unless and until we stand up, and that's happening now, and that's the only way we get out of this.
steve bannon
They always get worse before they get better.
That's the fourth turning.
Remember, in a fourth turning, you don't know what the outcome is going to be.
And right now, it's all to be written.
That's why the CR and the death ceiling are so big.
You are changing the arc of American history because now you're enforcing your will.
Just like in football, you're enforcing your will onto the process.
And you're going to see him sweating all over the next couple of days because of what you are doing.
That's why you've got to put your shoulder to the wheel and remember, the steel resolve is, the answer is no.
No on the infrastructure bill, no on the human infrastructure bill, no on the continuing resolution, and no on the debt ceiling.
No, no, no, and no.
Very simple.
Okay, let's turn to 3 November.
boris epshteyn
And real quick, for 10 seconds, if you look at the falling of each of the last hegemons, Spain fell because of weak leadership.
Britain fell because of weak leadership after Queen Victoria, no doubt about it.
And France fell because of Louis XVI.
Terrible weak leadership within 100 years of Louis XIV the Sun King.
We've got Joe Biden, illegitimate, that is why 3 November is so important, illegitimate, weak and feckless.
steve bannon
We're not going to fall.
We're going to rise.
We're in charge right now.
You can see this.
All they want is money, money, money, and you're stopping them.
We have power.
boris epshteyn
The only way we do not fall is if we continue to back the Democrats and the feckless Joe Biden up against the wall.
steve bannon
And the Uniparty.
boris epshteyn
The way we do it is by pushing back and fighting for 3 November.
Arizona, Friday, three volumes plus coming out.
I'm hearing major, major, major revelations and discrepancies.
I'm also hearing that you're going to have some very strong players in Arizona calling for a full forensic audit, including a full canvas in Maricopa, in Pinal, and Pima, and all across the state.
steve bannon
You have guys in Maricopa County quitting right now because the tapes are showing they knew that these little audits they were doing We're all nonsense.
unidentified
Fake, right.
steve bannon
Fake.
Okay.
Are you going to see indictments starting flying on Friday?
boris epshteyn
Yes or no?
If Brownevich does the right thing, you're going to have indictments next week.
steve bannon
Are there going to be enough in this report to lead to indictments from Brownevich?
boris epshteyn
There's going to be enough in this report to lead to indictments and to push and to ensure there's a full forensic audit all across the state of Arizona that includes a canvas.
It's the canvas, not the count, but the report is going to be a nuclear earthquake in the 3 November movement, Arizona, Friday.
unidentified
This is going to be the biggest show in the history of this show.
steve bannon
Pennsylvania.
boris epshteyn

The subpoenas are due.
The information is due on October 1st.
We know we're giving, you know, we're giving them a chance to prove themselves with Cormyn Dush.
October 1st.
Shapiro has not joined the lawsuit against the subpoenas.
Also, next thing, always signal, not noise.
The acting Secretary of State of Pennsylvania, who took over for Bakobar, is going to go down.
Likely, will not get confirmed.
steve bannon
30 seconds on Georgia.
boris epshteyn
On Georgia, we've got about 18 days until the next hearing.
In the end, they're going to unseal those ballots.
Shoulder to the wheel.

Hi, I'm Peter Navarro, and this picture from January 15, 2020 shows President Trump on stage in the East Room at the White House.
He's with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He to co-sign what is being billed as an historic Phase 1 trade deal.
So let me take you now inside that room as I read this brief excerpt from my new book, In Trump Time.
peter navarro
On this unseasonably warm day, I'm sitting in the East Room of the White House watching President Donald John Trump as he is surrounded on stage by a high-ranking delegation of Chinese Communist Party officials, several members of his own trade team, and a Brutus who will betray this American Caesar almost exactly a year later, Vice President Michael Richard Pence.
