unidentified
The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
wayne allyn root
So you don't want to frighten the American public.
unidentified
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.
wayne allyn root
This is going to be a real serious problem.
unidentified
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
wayne allyn root
We have to prepare for the worst, always.
anthony fauci
Because if you don't, then the worst happens.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham.
steve bannon
Okay, with nearly 100 million downloads on the podcast, of course we're live everywhere and we're subtitled live in Mandarin and in also Japanese by GTV, G News.
I want to thank our partners there internationally, Australia, Brazil, the United Kingdom, all of our audience.
On Real America's Voice, all the different platforms are on, I think it's like 20 platforms across the board.
So I want to thank everybody.
Big impact today by the posse.
I want to give a couple of numbers out.
Because you're changing history.
Mitch McConnell, guess what, doesn't have the votes.
Doesn't have the 10 votes to actually break cloture, to get his cave, the fold, the cave, the victory for the Democrats, this absolutely obscene increase of $480 billion to the debt ceiling.
Kicked the can down the road to December just to play more games.
They had this opportunity to jam the continuing resolution, the debt ceiling, over two weeks ago.
They caved on that.
The Mitch McConnell Senate's got 19 collaborators.
They caved on this phony infrastructure bill.
And 480 billion dollars is the backroom deal that was cut that Mitch McConnell didn't tell any of the Senate.
The Senators understand the wrath of the people.
So here's the number.
The direct number to the Senate switchboard.
202-224-3121.
We want you to call and express your opinion to your Senator in your home state.
Pick a couple in other states too.
Let them know what you think about raising the debt ceiling.
The answer is no.
It's not to be raised one penny.
We're the Debtor in Possession Committee.
We're the dip lender.
And the answer is absolutely not.
The Democrats are going to have to come and present their plan and show how they're essentially going to finance 15 trillion dollars.
That's what it is.
It's a trillion to a trillion and a half a year for the next 10 years.
That's by the Congressional Budget Office.
Every year the deficits.
In addition, you get three and a half trillion of this entitlements expansion.
And you've got a phony infrastructure bill of another $1.25 that Mitch McConnell wrought.
All his deals are all blowing up.
And what he's doing is going back to the American people to get more capacity on the credit card.
Okay?
The answer is no.
Mitch McConnell's direct line to his office.
And we understand that that number's melted down.
They're not taking calls.
unidentified
It's false.
steve bannon
Continue to call 202-224-2541.
Up on Real America's Voice and a couple all our chat rooms, all the chat rooms across the board, Worm.org, Real America's Voice, Rumble, all of them, the forums.
We're going to put the numbers and make sure you call their local state offices.
This is the time.
You're actually in this.
They're in shock.
They're stunned that Mitch McConnell doesn't have this deal right now.
This is a humiliation for Mitch McConnell.
It's time now to break the back of Mitch McConnell.
Okay?
Metaphorically.
And we're doing it right now.
He can't get anything done in the Senate.
This is an embarrassment, a humiliation.
He has gone around the will of the people.
We do not want to continue resolution.
We do not want to increase to the debt ceiling.
We do not want the infrastructure deal.
We do not want any of this new entitlements expansion.
Joe Biden is in a historic implosion.
No political figure at any level at any level has had an implosion like this guy over the last couple of months.
He has no support from the American people.
The proxy that's independence.
His approval rating is in the high 20s to the low 30s.
This is across geography, demographics.
Gender, sexual preference, where you're on the political spectrum.
People realize he's hapless, he's feckless, he's radical.
And they don't, this program, they were never told about it.
This is what The Big Steal is about.
Elections have consequences.
And stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
Whether it's an invasion on the southern border of biblical proportions, a new super terrorist state in Afghanistan, the 20th anniversary of the war in Afghanistan.
Today, Sam Faddis from the CIA is going to join us in the next block.
The 450th anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto, when the Christian West, the Judeo-Christian West stopped the Ottoman Empire in its track.
Victory begets victory.
We were on a roll.
We're on a roll.
We got to cut the deadwood like Mitch McConnell.
unidentified
Out.
steve bannon
Boom.
Gone.
And your senators have to know that today.
If they support Mitch McConnell, they're gone.
They're gone.
That's what all the liberal media, they're all completely upended because this show is an activist show, whether it's people going in to be election officials, whether it's people joining to be precinct committeemen, whether it's moms going to school boards, now they're domestic terrorists, the people on the elections board because they want canvases are domestic terrorists, they're criminals, FBI, Merrick Garland, They're criminals.
That means they're losing.
When they're going to that, they're losing.
They know they're losing.
We're running the tables on these people.
The only reason they get any breath at all is because of people like Mitch McConnell.
Do not catch a falling knife.
I tell you, somebody who understands that concept is our first guest, Wayne Allen Root.
Talk about a firebrand.
Wayne Allen Root, one of the reasons you were attracted to Donald J. Trump was his leadership.
You've always been attracted to leadership.
Talk to me about what Mitch McConnell has done here, sir.
wayne allyn root
Well, he's a sellout, and all the Republicans, you know, 99% of them are sellouts.
Actually, on my show, I was on with Rand Paul today, and he's one of the great senators in America.
We could always count on Rand Paul.
I love Rand.
I love Donald Trump.
There's a few you can count on your hand.
I could count on you, Steve Bannon.
I love you.
I was just listening to your open.
My gosh, you are fantastic.
Keep the pressure up.
You know, I wrote a new book called The Great Patriot Protest and Boycott Book.
You sound like the book.
It's the strategy in the book.
We've got to intimidate.
We've got to boycott.
We've got to protest.
We've got to use civil disobedience.
We've got to keep the pressure up 24 hours a day.
I grew up in an all-black town, went to an all-black high school.
I love Dr. Martin Luther King, and I watched him win the civil rights battle.
He did it with civil disobedience.
We've got to emulate Dr. Martin Luther King.
If it was good enough for him and the civil rights movement and black America, it's good enough for Republicans, conservatives, Christians, and 80 million Trump voters.
They rigged the election.
They stole the election.
Now they're trying to destroy the country and overwhelm the economy and bankrupt the country.
So we all fall to our knees in a massive collapse and we beg them to save us.
And then you've got big government and socialism enveloping the country.
This was the plan I learned at Columbia University, 79 through 83.
I graduated alongside my classmate, Barack Hussein Obama, and they taught us this strategy.
Steve, It's happening right in front of our eyes.
Everything that's happening is cloward pivot that I learned at Columbia, named after two Columbia professors, husband and wife.
This has overwhelmed the system, bankrupt the country with debt, open borders, illegal aliens, green new deals, raise the debt limit, so we're completely bankrupt.
And then when we collapse, they have themselves a socialist, Marxist, communist future.
That's what's happening right in front of us.
steve bannon
So what's your recommendation?
Talk to us about the book and talk to what people should do today to put their shoulder.
Look, you're a street guy.
You're from Wall Street.
You understand what's going on here.
You understand how this is going to make the American people right now, people under 40 are Russian serfs.
They don't own anything and they're not going to own anything.
This is going to make them debt slaves, slaves to the international capital markets.
What should people do today, Wayne Allyn Root?
wayne allyn root
Well, you opened up with a lot of the strategy in my book.
You're fantastic, Steve.
My book is about, you know, the Great Patriot Protest, the boycott book, is about one thing.
Going after corporate America and bringing them to their knees and bankrupting them, because I believe they're the real powers.
It's not Mitch McConnell.
It's not Nancy Pelosi.
It's not Chuck Schumer.
And it's sure not the empty-headed, empty-vessel, dementia-laden, brain-dead Biden.
The real powers behind the throne, in my opinion, are Obama, George Soros and China.
That's who's calling the shots in the United States today.
And these corporations are run by them.
The senators are run by them.
The congressmen are run by them.
And Biden is just a puppet.
He's not calling the shots.
He's reading a script.
And he's not even good at reading the script.
This is all Obama.
And he learned this program at Columbia, Cloward Piven.
So in my book, I lay out Cloward Piven.
I lay out what's happening to America.
I lay out how China sent COVID to destroy us and distract us and create chaos and confusion and destroy everything great about America.
Now we have vaccine mandates that, in my opinion, Steve, will bankrupt the economy along with everything Biden's doing, but also All the cops don't want it.
The firemen don't want the vaccine.
The nurses, the paramedics, the border agents, the military, the guards in prisons.
They're all sending me letters.
They don't want the COVID vaccine.
They're going to quit or be fired or retire.
We're going to have a nationwide shortage of first responders, which opens the door for China to do who knows what to the United States of America.
Are militaries being weakened?
Are first responders being weakened?
My book's about attacking corporate America, but you hit the nail on the head.
Use the same strategy to attack the congressmen and the senators.
Make phone calls all day.
Send them letters all day.
Send them emails all day.
We need massive protests.
I want vaccine protests across the country where we literally lock arms, thousands of us, In front of any restaurant or retail store that dares to say you can't come in unless you're vaccinated.
And we will put them out of business.
We'll keep customers out for weeks at a time until they go out of business.
That's the Martin Luther King way.
It needs to become our way.
And by the way, in my book, I don't just tell you how to do it, how to intimidate, how to use civil disobedience, how to boycott.
I went out and got the phone numbers and the emails just like you did at the start of the show for the top 116 corporate CEOs in America.
I got their phone number, their email, their physical mailing address, their social media address.
So you open the book and you just attack all day long.
Coca-Cola.
Delta, Starbucks, NBA, NFL, you name it.
Victoria's Secret.
We go after the liberal, woke companies who are giving all the money to the politicians so that they're able to turn us into serfs.
Without that money, they can't carry this out.
You hit them, Steve, by sending everyone to Congress and the Senate.
I'll hit everyone by sending them to the corporations and we'll bring all of them to their knees.
Attack, attack, attack.
Torah, Torah, Torah.
steve bannon
Wayne, absolutely brilliant.
Is there a website, Wayne, I know you got your show, tell people how you get to your show, how you get to social media, but is there a website that you can go that you're gonna like do the order of battle every day?
This is absolutely a brilliant philosophy and Wayne Allyn Root, look, Wayne Allyn Root is a fighter, okay?
He's not gonna back down an inch.
He's a fighter and his The concept of fighting is always be on offense.
Never clench.
Always be on offense.
So how do people get to you?
And you're going to have a website just like Trump.
That's what Trump does.
Never apologize.
Right?
Just go punch back.
Punch back harder.
Right?
I think people are seeing that today.
On another topic.
On another topic.
So tell people, how do people get...
How do people get to you, Wayne?
How do they follow you?
wayne allyn root
Yeah, the website's Root4America.com.
I'm Wayne Root, and that's what I do all day.
I root for America, and the book is The Great Patriot Protest, a boycott book, number one in 20 categories at Amazon.
And if you don't like Amazon, you can get it at Barnes & Noble.
You can get it at Target, also liberal companies.
But hey, buy nothing anymore from Amazon, Target, or Barnes & Noble.
Except conservative books by Wayne Root and Mark Levin and Steve Bannon.
You know what I mean?
They'll get the message.
At least they sell conservative books.
Let's buy those and let's learn the strategy to take on America.
steve bannon
Holt, we only got a minute left.
I gotta ask you one question about your years at Columbia.
For the audience that's never heard this story.
In four years at Columbia, I think you were a political scientist in the same department as Barack Obama.
How many times did you see Barack Obama in a class?
wayne allyn root
I was not only political science major like him, I was pre-law like him, and never saw him once anywhere.
Not in class, not at the cafeteria, not in the library.
Nowhere!
He's the Manchurian candidate!
I'm telling you, it's impossible!
And I talked to the professors, they never met him!
They never had him in the class.
I talked to the other students.
No one's ever seen him.
It's the wildest story ever.
I said it for eight years under Obama.
You know what the result of that was?
Obama sicked the IRS on me and tried to destroy my life.
These are the most vicious people in the world and we got to stop playing nice because nice guys finish last.
We got to fight fire with fire.
Attack them.
Go after them.
Bankrupt them.
Boycott them.
Intimidate them.
Bring them to their knees.
Don't ever let up.
steve bannon
Wayne Allen Root, American patriot and hero.
Thank you very much, sir, for joining us in the War Room.
wayne allyn root
Thank you, Steve.
God bless you.
steve bannon
I think that's a way to get the show off to a hot start.
OK, Wayne Allen Root, we're going to go next.
We got the 20th anniversary of Afghanistan, the 450th anniversary of the Battle of Lepanto.
We're going to do that next.
And we're also going to get back to taking down Mitch McConnell, blowing up his his plan to kind of fold and let the Democrats have a massive win.
It's not going to happen next in the War Room.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
to the end just watch and see it's all started everything's begun and you are over cause we're taking down the CCP spread the word all through Hong Kong we will fight till they're all gone we rejoice when there is no more let's take down the CCP War Room, Pandemic, with Stephen K Bannon
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Good afternoon.
On On my orders, the United States military has begun strikes against Al Qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
tom brokaw
America strikes back.
Afghanistan is pounded with bombs and missiles from the Aran Sea.
unidentified
We are supported by the collective will of the world.
tom brokaw
Homeland Security has stepped up to protect against retaliation, and Bin Laden himself sends a videotaped threat to the American people.
unidentified
From NBC News World Headquarters in New York, this is NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw.
tom brokaw
Good evening.
American-led military attacks against targets throughout Afghanistan continue tonight, even as the first emergency food and medical supplies for the beleaguered Afghan people are in the air.
And if there was any doubt about the role of Osama bin Laden in the September 11th attacks, his threats to America tonight were a chilling reminder of his hatred.
NBC's Jim Mikloshefsky is at the Pentagon tonight, the latest on the early strikes and the continuing action in that part of the world.
Jim?
unidentified
Tom, the first of these military strikes appear to have just about ended for the night, but officials here at the Pentagon say these attacks are far from over.
steve bannon
This is 20 years ago today.
That was President Bush and NBC News.
I want to bring in now Sam Faddis, a 20-year veteran of the CIA.
Wrote an amazing book called The Decline and Fall of the CIA, I think about 10 years ago.
And also 10 years additionally to other intelligence services in defense of our country.
So a 30-year veteran and a frequent contributor here to the War Room.
Sam, 20 years ago today we started CIA paramilitary special forces along with obviously airstrikes rolled up Afghanistan in the in the bad guys in about what six weeks four or five six weeks here we are 20 years later you notice the mainstream media is not talking about this today you know Biden's not taking the victory lap that they had hoped to take
Given the fact that Biden has helped create a terrorist super state with the Haqqani Network, Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Taliban.
Sam Faddis.
sam faddis
Yeah, well, look, we betrayed everybody that fought and bled and died along the way, starting with the eight guys who got on an old Russian helicopter and went across the border into Afghanistan.
I think Less than ten days after 9-11, the first CIA guys were on the ground there.
Some of them didn't come home.
Some of the folks were killed from the outset.
Folks were killed right up until the very end.
We betrayed them all.
Like you say, we haven't ended anything.
We made this infinitely worse.
These guys are more powerful than ever, and they are emboldened now.
They are coming for us.
steve bannon
Sam, here's the question.
20 years ago, we had a very kind of thought through plan about how to do this and how to do it with a small footprint, how to be absolutely lethal with with lead put right on the targets that we wanted.
How did we spend $2.2 trillion, what, 2200 combat casualties from service members, I think another 4000 of contractors.
And you know what, 20,000 wounded and leave with a terrorist super state we have today, which was nothing what Afghanistan was 20 years ago.
How did that happen?
sam faddis
Yeah, well, we totally lost our way.
We went in, we had a laser-like focus, right?
We're there to get rid of Al Qaeda and topple the Taliban.
We did that.
And what I would submit was probably the most brilliant military campaign the United States has carried out since World War II.
And then all of a sudden we transitioned to, you know, while we're here, let's transform Afghanistan into Switzerland and Central Asia, teach them about gender equality and take on every other task of, you know, keeping in mind that we're dealing with a country that's only arguably a nation state to begin with.
And we pour blood and treasure into that insane venture for 20 years.
What we should have done was put somebody on the throne, if you will, back in 2001.
Leave behind a handful of guys and remain focused on one thing.
You guys never again are a launching pad for attacks in the U.S.
Other than that, do whatever you want up in these mountains with your goats and so forth.
We're not taking on that task.
But, you know, let's keep in mind, along the way, a lot of corporations made trillions of dollars off of this venture.
So they probably don't think it was a failure.
They probably would like to start another one tomorrow.
steve bannon
Sam, before we let you go, you wrote a book, Decline and Fall of the CIA.
In a couple of minutes, I realize this is a tough question to answer, but we're going to take power in 2022.
There's absolutely no doubt that with a sweeping victory and again in 24.
What are the first two or three things we have to do not to reform the CIA, to basically deconstruct and rebuild our intelligence community led by the CIA?
sam faddis
Look, you got to go back to basics, Steve.
You're a military officer.
If you showed up and took over a ship, And there's rust streaks down the side and sailors racked out on deck and you walk up the gangplank and nobody pipes you aboard and you can't find who's in charge on the bridge.
You know what's going on.
The place has gone to seed.
What do you do?
You just go back to basics, enforce standards.
If you're not here to work and do the job, you're gone.
Those of you who are, let's get after it.
That's all this takes.
It's basics and going back to fundamentals.
steve bannon
Sam, I know that &Magazine is a must-read.
How do people follow you?
How do they get to &Magazine?
And you've got some amazing pieces up right now across the board.
You're covering vaccines.
You're covering COVID.
You're covering intelligence defense.
Every now and again, you'll jump in on 3 November, and you're particularly always interested in lighting up the establishment in Pennsylvania politics.
So how do people get to the magazine?
sam faddis
AndMagazine.com.
AndMagazine.com.
And we're on every form of social media.
Until Twitter throws us off.
Real Sam Faddis.
Just go to nmagazine.com and that'll take you everywhere.
We're on Getter, Parler, Gab, everything.
steve bannon
Sam Faddis, American Hero and Patriot.
Thank you very much for joining us, sir.
20th anniversary.
All the honored dead.
The lives.
Not just the cash and the capital, but the opportunity cost.
And what does it have us?
A terrorist super state right in there in partnership.
With Pakistan, with Iran, with Turkey, and with Russia.
Trying to control the Eurasian landmass under the leadership of a transnational criminal organization, the Chinese Communist Party.
By the way, breaking news.
As I talked about with, I think it was yesterday, with Jack Posobiec, who's an intelligence officer, I said back in the mid-70s, I think it's 76, 77, I was on patrol in a destroyer in the South China Sea as a young naval officer.
And I said, when you're serious, you've always got fast attack submarines and direct support of carrier battle groups.
Well, the USS Connecticut, there's been a newsflash that hit an object.
It hit an object in the South China Sea.
I think this happened on October 2nd, but the Pentagon is just releasing it today.
It hit an object.
There's a lot more news about that.
But it shows you things are heating up, definitely heating up in the South China Sea.
Numerous battle groups over there.
The Chinese are flying essentially combat sorties or practice combat sorties over Taiwan nonstop.
We're gonna have a lot more on that tomorrow morning.
Also want to thank And this is why it's a team effort.
And we want everybody, particularly in the chat rooms, particularly in the forums, as the show is live.
This is for Shelly.
I want to give her a shout-out.
Shelly, a long-time listener.
Shelly has put up in the chat rooms Mitch McConnell's Kentucky office, and she informs us they're still taking messages.
Okay?
Here's Mitch's Kentucky office.
It's 859.
2-2-4, 8-2-8-6.
I want to repeat that.
8-5-9, 2-2-4, 8-2-8-6.
Now here's why this is important.
This is the first time that the deplorables have really had a seat at the table.
What the War Room Policy has been able to do over the last couple of weeks, because we started talking about the debt ceiling back in July, and you guys went to the ramparts and started making this a thing, you know, started making it an issue.
And now Mitch McConnell, at the last second, right when we have the Democrats cornered, right when we got these rats cornered, right, we had them with the CR and the debt ceiling simultaneously.
They couldn't fund the government on an annual basis because they didn't have an appropriations bill.
They couldn't fund it short or long term because they had no capacity.
They were up to their capacity.
So what does Mitch McConnell do out of the clear blue sky?
And here's why he did it.
He did it to, for his paymasters on Wall Street so their bonuses are not affected.
He does not want to upend, they don't want to upend the markets.
They want to get through Christmas, get their annual bonuses, because they're paid at the end of the year, get their annual bonuses and move on.
Okay?
So they don't care about the financial health of the country whatsoever.
Okay?
What they're focused on is their Christmas bonuses.
Number two was to he wanted to make sure that they had capacity, and Senator Duckworth said this, they had capacity to actually approve this ridiculous infrastructure bill that's basically gapped.
It's got a $400 billion gap on it.
Duckworth said, hey, Mitch gave us a victory and he's going to give us some headroom.
He's going to give us some headroom in the desk so we can pass this thing.
We can vote on it and pass it out.
OK, also, they've got this theory they're trying to sell that, you know, it's not about the the filibuster.
That's that's a false.
That's a misdirection play.
They're saying, hey, the Obama, the Biden economy is in freefall.
It's crashing.
We don't get blamed for we don't get blamed for the debt ceiling.
Bottom line is we had the Democrats cornered.
Joe Biden's in a freefall.
They absolutely their mother's milk is more debt.
Their mother's milk is absolutely condemning.
Everybody under 45 years old, you're going to be a debt slave to the world's capital markets, okay?
Because if you give here the next stop in the next decade's 45 trillion, that's the Congressional Budget Office, just do the math, trillion dollars every year, trillion and a half, on the, just the regular budget deficit, add on top of it the 3.5 trillion, and don't believe the crap that's all paid for, that's just all, that's all optics, smoke and mirrors, and the 1.25 for infrastructure.
All this is, as Wayne Allen Root said, this is the way you crash an economy.
And this economy has been the greatest economy in world's history.
Does it have some changes that have to be made?
Absolutely.
I'm a populist, economic nationalist.
Definitely have to make changes.
But this is a way to bury this economy.
This is a way to bury the American people.
Okay, short commercial break.
We're going to return.
We're going to have Raymond Abraham about the Battle of Lepanto 450 years ago.
The Judeo-Christian West stood up for itself and backed down.
Guess what?
The Ottoman Turks also Boris Epstein with updates on what's going on Capitol Hill.
This Mitch McConnell melts down looking for votes to raise the debt ceiling next in the war room.
unidentified
Down the CCP!
Spread the word all through Hong Kong!
We will fight till they're all gone!
We rejoice when there's no more!
Let's take down the CCP!

I want to go to Raymond Abraham, author of Sword and Scimitar, a frequent contributor here.
450 years ago, sir, a massive victory, the Battle of Lepanto, one of the most important battles in history and one of the most important naval battles.
Tell our audience, what happened and why is it important today?
raymond ibrahim
Sure, Steve.
It's important today to begin with because it's a wonderful way to contrast how Western heroes actually dealt with the threat of Islam, in particular, or any foreign threat.
In general, in contrast with what's happening today, at any rate, on this day in history, 450 years ago, the Turks sent out one of their largest armadas ever to conquer the island of Cyprus, which since the time of King Richard Lionheart, around 1290, he had conquered it, had become a bastion of crusader forces versus all the Islamic world and the Holy Land and so forth.
So, they wanted to put it out of commission and in 1571, on this date, They set out and the Christians all, you know, it was understood this was a life and death thing because if they took it they would sever the lifeline and completely control the Mediterranean and so forth.
But all these maritime states spearheaded by the Spaniards and the Italians and many other local national groups combined and basically long and short of it is in Lepanto somewhere off the coast of Greece.
Close to Cyprus, you had something like 300 boats, that's how big the fleets were, both of them combined, 300, and something like 150,000 men clash and fight.
And it was very bloody and so forth, but it's also interesting right before this battle, what the Turks were doing in Cyprus.
For example, after offering to the defenders of Cyprus, the Christian defenders, that if they'd capitulate, they could leave unmolested, unkilled, and so forth, they reneged, took the actual commander, chopped his nose off, chopped his ears off, Skinned him alive and before that told him to convert to Islam and mocked him and said where's your Christ now and so forth it's all in the primary sources and the Christians heard of this as they were coming and it really enraged them and they also heard of what they were how they were desecrating all the churches in Cyprus and so forth and
The battle went on and the Christians actually won, even though they were outnumbered, as usual, against the Turks.
And basically the man who mutilated the fort commander, cutting his nose and so forth, whose name is Ali Pasha, he ended up getting his head chopped off and put on a pike.
And that's when all the Ottoman, the Turkish defenders ran off when they saw that.
And it was a glorious day because up until then, the Turks were really dominating and destroying all of Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, all the Balkans.
They had already taken all the way up to Hungary.
But yet, despite all that, and it was a great moral boost, even a century later, the Turks were still making advances.
This battle didn't even liberate Cyprus, which stayed under Ottoman rule.
And a hundred years later, they're already at 300,000 men besieging Vienna on another pivotal date, usually attributed to September 11th.
So going back to the first point of attributing, when you really read the sources, it's amazing to see the self-sacrifice of these men and their goals.
They had something to fight for.
They were fighting for their faith, their family, their country, their culture.
We don't see that today and that's why I think when you move on to the modern era, as you will after this segment, you're going to be dealing with the antithesis of these sorts of men.
steve bannon
I just want to give people a heads up.
You're actually writing a book that goes back to kind of that source material and talks about these heroes that really led us in times gone by in history.
What it took, what sacrifices they had, and what they did to actually move us forward as a civilization, correct, in these great battles.
raymond ibrahim
Absolutely.
It's forthcoming.
It's called Defenders of the West, and it's a profile of eight of these men, including the aforementioned Richard Lionheart and many other fellows.
And again, it's interesting to see their battles, the historical battles they had, and how much heart, how much self-sacrifice and really altruism for their world, their religion, their people, their civilization.
And I think it stands in stark contrast To what we see with our leaders today, who, like I said, are the antithesis and, you know, could care less if not are actively hating and trying to subvert and undermine their civilization, which is ours.
steve bannon
See, we're going to go to that next, but this is, I want to tie together the initial CIA and military, all the combat casualties, the heroes.
At the operational level, we have heroes today like we had back then.
Think of the sacrifice of the folks that went to Afghanistan 20 years ago.
Absolutely courageous.
In a war that became the Forgotten War for 20 years, continue to fight, including 13 brave heroes.
13 brave heroes killed on the last couple of days while we were there in this pathetic and disgraceful withdrawal.
So, Raymond, thank you very much.
We can't wait for the book.
How do people find you?
How do they track you?
How do they go to your website?
raymond ibrahim
Best Place is just my website, RaymondIbrahim.com, all one word, and links to my books including Sword and Scimitar, which has the Battle of El Ponto and many other battles documented.
14 centuries worth of warfare, you can order it through there as well.
Thanks, Steve.
steve bannon
Sword and Scimitar is a must-read.
I highly recommend it to everybody.
It's a must-read, and we're looking forward for his upcoming book, Defenders of the West.
Raymond Ibrahim, thank you very much for joining us.
The Battle of Lepanto, 450 years ago today, okay?
That's heroes.
Boris, I want to go from the sublime to the less sublime, and it's talking about non-heroes and what's happening on Capitol Hill with people like Mitch McConnell.
Think about this.
From Richard the Lionhearted to Mitch McConnell.
That's the sad state of affairs in the United States of America.
Mitch McConnell is called leader.
I just want you to think about that.
I want you to embrace that concept.
I want this audience to embrace this concept that he's a leader.
This is what you are.
A guy would sell you out, look right at you and sell you out with a bull for the blue.
When we had these people backed up in a corner.
Boris, give me an update.
What's happening on Capitol Hill in the Senate?
boris epshteyn
Steve, great to be with you, and that was wonderful.
I love history, love that perspective, and the beauty of history, right, isn't that it's some, you know, amorphic thing, and it's not something that you just study and move on.
History teaches us things, and history ties to the current, and, you know, time is one continuous effect, and it's very important to know the history, because that makes us understand what's happening today.
So, really appreciative of your guest there.
Very important to be here today.
Great to be with you, Steve.
We weren't even expecting to be talking, but there's so much going on, and quote-unquote, Leader McConnell is such a strong leader that he is struggling to get ten votes out of his own caucus to break a filibuster on this terrible devil's deal that he's made with crying Chuck Schumer and pathetic, feckless Joe Biden.
Again, hear me loud and hear me clear.
And this is according to John Thune, right?
He went out there and said that.
This is the leadership of the Senate and the GOP.
They've gone out and said, hey, we have no idea.
And we are so weak, we're so feckless, we're so powerless, that we right now, as of this second, are struggling to get 10 out of 50 to back this deal.
And you know what?
As to the Republicans?
I hope you're all staying strong, Republican Senators.
I hope that nobody wants to be the 10th, nobody wants to be the 11th, nobody wants to be the 12th, to go ahead with this pathetic move, pathetic cave by Mitch McConnell.
Look at all the headlines today, Steve.
Playbook, Axios, Washington Post, McConnell Cave, McConnell Cave, McConnell Cave.
I have no idea what Mitch McConnell's team was thinking.
They're supposed to be super pros over there, so smart, really knowing inside D.C.
operators.
This is child's play.
This is child's play, what they've done.
It's pathetic.
And they've given Joe Biden two wins in a week when he deserved to have none.
This is a guy who, according to Quinnipiac, is a 38% approval rating with independencies down in the 20s.
And Mitch McConnell, playing some 6-D chess, is now giving him wins.
Unacceptable.
The message is this.
To you, to the MAGA posse, the MAGA movement under the leadership of President Trump, color within the lines, but color boldly.
Have your senators hear you loud and clear.
They have to vote no on this deal.
No on the debt ceiling increase, no matter if it's two months, two days, two hours.
It's a no from Republicans.
It should have been a no on the continuing resolution.
It is a no on the drunk boondoggle that is all the spending that the Democrats want to do.
It's a no on any part of feckless Biden's agenda.
steve bannon
By the way, I want everybody to go down to the chat rooms, look at Real America's Voice.
We've got the phone numbers up.
I want you to call your senator.
As Boris said, colors in the line.
Be civil, but be bold and be hard and be firm under no circumstances.
This is why Mitch McConnell, this is normally a layup, he can't get 10 votes.
Mitch McConnell, the great master of the Senate, he can't get 10 votes right now.
Let's make it as painful as possible, and if people sit there and get to the ramparts, it won't happen.
Okay, real quickly, there was a hearing today in the House Oversight Committee.
boris epshteyn
Ten more seconds.
Just imagine, this is a leader of a party in the Senate.
Maybe sometimes you'll have a defection.
Maybe you'll have two.
Maybe you'll have three.
This is the same as a general who's got a division or a small group of 50 soldiers and only seven or eight are saying, yes, I'm with you.
The rest are saying, hey, how about this?
F you.
OK?
And the reason they're doing it is all because of the MAGA movement and this audience.
You're giving the Republican senators that backbone that they need.
Keep doing it.
Keep being loud.
And don't forget about the members of the House of Representatives.
Not one Republican, not one Republican should be voting for this devil's deal.
steve bannon
By the way, right now, no Republicans are, and they've thrown the Chamber of Commerce out of the House conference calls.
This is what causes this audience, real quickly, talk to us about the hearing today and what's happening in Arizona.
boris epshteyn
They tried to drag the hearing out today.
They had invited, but then disinvited.
Dr. Shiva and then Logan didn't show up from Cyber Ninjas correctly because this was another one of the typical show trials by the Democrats.
But guess what?
It all sped up in their face because Andy Biggs, Congressman Biggs, went out and asked specific questions about the passwords being wiped, about the servers being wiped, about the duplicate votes.
And Maricopa County, who did show up, Republicans, had no answers.
Gates, no answers.
Sellers, no answers.
This was another win for the MAGA movement, another win for President Trump, and it underscored what we talked about in the last several days.
That the election in Maricopa County was a disaster.
Over 80,000 illegal votes in Maricopa County alone, when 10,000 separate President Trump and Joe Biden in Arizona as a whole.
Arizona should be decertified now.
And today's hearing proved that.
Another stunt blowing up in the face of the Democrats.
steve bannon
This is why they disinvited Dr. Shiva.
They can't handle it.
Dr. Shiva would blow him out of the water.
The guy's got three brains and four degrees from MIT.
Boris, what's your social media handles?
By the way, people gotta be following Boris 24-7 because there's so many moving parts here to the 3 November movement.
De-certification is starting in Arizona, but this thing's happening all over the country.
How do they follow you, Boris?
boris epshteyn
I'm here in Arizona.
There's movement in Pennsylvania.
We're going to hear about vendors soon to process the information.
Georgia, there's a hearing on the major case, $140,000.
I'm here in Arizona to bring this to the resolution.

steve bannon
Okay, I want to thank, once again, I want to go back to Shelly, a longtime listener, has given us the McConnell's Kentucky number, which is still his office number, still taking messages.
859-224-8286.
Call and tell Mitch McConnell, Senator McConnell, what do you think about his deal?
And particularly, raising the cap right now, the debt's at another $480 billion, almost a half a trillion dollars!
Just to cover it, between now and December 3rd, this is how out of control this government is, okay?
And you've got a falling, you've got an imploding presidency under Joe Biden, an imploding administration.
It's not time now to prop them up.
Short commercial break.
We're going to go to AmFest and talk about a group of revolutionaries and radicals down there next in the war room Orders us censors us deep platforms us Conservatives have been helpless to do anything about it until now.

This is what the war room's for, to get the posse rounded up, make sure you share information, and man the ramparts.
Steve Cortez, the great Steve Cortez, the co-host of the Newsmax show at 9 o'clocker, and a co-host with Jen Pellegrino, just tweeted out a text of me.
If Mitch McConnell fails to get 10 votes, it's a 10 count on a knockout.
Right?
He may get a standing 8 count.
Because if he doesn't get 10 votes, he's finished.
He's done.
Right now.
Also, Shelly came back and said, thank you.
I'm just one of the patriotic Americans trying my best I can to help you and your crew save America.
Thank you very much.
This is a team effort.
Shelley, I want to thank all the patrons out there.

They're still taking calls, but right now go to warroom.org, Real America's Voice, or any of our chat rooms.
Get the numbers right now.
Make your voice heard.
Put some steel in the spine of these jellyfish that tell them to stand tall.
No on the debt ceiling.
No on Mitch McConnell's surrender.
Okay, I want to turn now to AmFest, and I want to bring in Matthew Tierman.
Okay, Tierman, first off, you're one of the smartest political operatives I know, but I got a question.
Anytime I see an event that's got Posobiec, Rahim, and Jason Miller down there, I don't know if it's a party or if it's a real event.
I hear you got some other speakers, too.
I'm actually speaking at one o'clock on Saturday.
Tell us what AmFest is.
And who are the heavy hitters?
Because I got three guys I know down there to boom, right?
Who's down there to actually deliver the message and deliver the goods?
unidentified
I mean, it is a veritable smorgasbord of the movement's best down here.
I mean, this is, you know, the base is favored people because these are people of the base.
These are not, you know, political operatives.
They're not, you know, Silicon Valley constructs.
These are fire breathers.
There are no J.D.
Vance's here.
Nobody thought about voting for Hillary Clinton, you know, if she was going to potentially win Ohio.
And to note to that, we got Josh Mandel, you know, my buddy and yours, Joe Kent.
DC Drano, General Flynn is going to be speaking, Dinesh D'Souza, MTG.
Sheriff Clark, Cash Patel.
I mean, this is a who's who.
Kevin Sorbo, Hercules is going to be here.
And that's one of the really fun things about this event is that it's not just, you know, like, it's not CPAC.
It's not, you know, political operatives in a sort of like circle stroking each other's egos.
It's cultural.
It's, you know, a mix of the moves and shakers who are on the grassroots, who are doing everything from media to culture.
You know, our buddy, our, you know, our mentor, Andrew Breitbart, he said politics is downstream from culture.
And one of the things that American Priority Is really focusing on, is trying to merge these things so that we can win the culture war.
The political war is derivative from the culture war.
We've got, there's a fashion show today.
There are conservative artists who are going to be presenting.
There's going to be some documentaries shown, some stuff about the border.
So it's really trying to be a confluence of the best of the movement, but not the highly politicized stuff that you get in DC.
And you got people, I was hanging out last night with a bunch of guys from my home state, Illinois.
Guys who are very active in Illinois politics with grassroots media.
They've got tons of YouTube followers.
Next Step News.
So, it's a really, really good group.
Hell, Harlan Hill's going to be here with his prickly, pear-shaped sidekick, Raheem Kassam.
And then Raheem Kassam's sidekick, Natalie Winter.
steve bannon
Some of your favorite people.
But hold it.
Raheem's going to speak.
Jack Vossove's going to speak.
Natalie's going to speak.
I've got a speaking slot.
You've got a dozen speakers.
We're going to get the agenda up.
But why wouldn't you invite, I mean, J.D.
Actually, we've got the firebreeders.
This is the firebreeders' ball here.
We've got Josh Mendel and Joe Kent.
You know, J.D.
on the oligarchs. Why wouldn't he expand it out and even have some debates? Why wouldn't you have a debate with JD and Josh Mandel? We understand Josh is a beast. We got that part of it. Actually, we've got the fire-breathers.
unidentified
This is the fire-breathers ball here. We got Josh Mandel and Joe Kent.
You know, JD does very well at some of the, you know, the think tank confabs.
Don't!
I was with Josh in a church in West Milton, north of Dayton, 20 miles north of where he was born, and we had 500 people show up with Wendy Rogers and Jen Ellis.
Now that's grassroots.
That's the aggressive fire-breathers we want.
JD Vance, he's out of a construct from AEI's Silicon Valley division lab.
steve bannon
plenty of time to come back on here and counter that.
I'm looking forward to, by the way, the debate with Josh Mandel, Timpkin, and J.D.
Vance.
I think that's going to be very interesting for the Trump followers, the Trump leadership.
So is Josh Mandel speaking?
Who else?
What other guys running for office out there are going to speak?
unidentified
also we got that we have a panel of sort of real modifiers readers who are who are making waves nationally and in their other constituencies as you got josh uh... joke and washington graham allen on a couple of guys going out of town but it's not you know this is not highly politicized events not what we're trying to bring like that he's doing cpac all the candidates and all the members We'll have some great members here, but the fire breathers.
You know, Matt Gaetz, MTG.
You know, Gosar was supposed to come.
He had to cancel for an alternate engagement.
But this is not, you know, wide open to any politico.
You know, not guys who Mitch McConnell is supporting behind the scenes like J.D.
Vance.
Doesn't fit the rubric here.
I mean, you're talking about Mitch McConnell.
That's a McConnellite at heart.
steve bannon
Okay.
How do people get... I want everybody to go to the site.
I want people to see it.
And it is live streaming, so you can see these talks if you can't get down there.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's going to be live streamed.
You go to the website, and it'll have all the different outlets that are going to be hosting it.
And you go to AmericanPriority.com, and it'll send you over to America First events to purchase tickets.
If anybody's in the Miami, South Florida area, Naples, you know, there's tons of space here, so there's accommodations readily available.
And it kicks off tomorrow morning with Jason Miller talking about free speech at around 8 a.m.
745 and it'll go from there Friday, Saturday and into Sunday.
And we're gonna have some big surprise guests as well that I can't jump the shark on.
steve bannon
That's fantastic.
In fact, we're going to do a live report on the 10 a.m.
show tomorrow morning.
Matthew Tierman, thank you very much for joining us.
Really appreciate it.
AmpFest is going to be wild.
It's incredible.
I want to make sure everybody gets a chance to actually see the speakers they want and listen to them.
So Matthew, we'll check in with you tomorrow.
Thank you very much.
Okay, we've got a lot of work to do overnight.
Remember, you've changed the course of history right here, changing the arc of history.
Make sure you get those numbers.
Let the U.S.
Senate know what you think about Mitch McConnell, no matter what state you're in.
Let your Senator know now, and if you've got some time, call some other Senators, send some emails, let them know.
Under no circumstances are you to take Mitch McConnell's basic deal, where he's caving to Joe Biden, Schumer, Pelosi, all of them.
We're going to be back at 10 o'clock in the morning in the cauldron that is the War Room.
unidentified
Because we're taking down the CCP!
