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. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, and the worst happens... War Room. | ||

Pandemic. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, we're commemorating and celebrating Columbus Day here. | ||
| We've got the two best people, I think, to do it. | ||
| It's Mayor Rudy Giuliani in New York and Maria Luisa Rossi, the lead television news correspondent for Mediaset, Berlusconi's media empire in Italy. | ||
| We're going to bring her in one second. | ||
| Rudy, I've got to come back to you because, of course, you're dropping bombshells. | ||
| You were the Grand Marshal the first time in 1988. | ||
| And people forget Rudy Giuliani was Elliot Ness. | ||
| He was putting the five families away. | ||
| You know, forget the Sopranos and all this fiction. | ||
| Rudy Giuliani put the five families away. | ||
| Put the five families away in federal court as prosecutor. | ||
| The SDNY when they had real leadership, right? | ||
| Put the five families away. | ||
| And then he turned and put basically the crooks on Wall Street. | ||
| Mike Milken and all the Larry Finks of their day. | ||
| Put them all in jail too, just for good measure. | ||
| So I want to go back. | ||
| You were the Grand Marshal in the 1980 Columbus Day Parade and you had to wear a bulletproof vest. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Well, I think a couple of contracts on me at the time. | ||
| One of them was Crazy Joey Gallo. | ||
| One of those guys, Junior Persico, Junior Persico put out an $400,000 contract to kill me because I had to move to solitary confinement because he was running his, I had convicted him, he got 100 years in jail, but he got one of those mafia suites where he could conduct business, get Italian food, and he was conducting his business from prison, and it was all tape recorded. | ||
| So I had him put in solitary confinement. | ||
| By the way, Rudy, that's the suite you're gonna get when the committee puts you in prison? | ||
| You got that all lined up already? | ||
| I don't intend to go without you. | ||
| I'm going with you and a couple other guys that sound interesting. | ||
| I'm counting on you being able to get it hooked up. | ||
| We'll do radio and television all day. | ||
| War room, come on. | ||
| The war room, the prisoners. | ||
| the ballroom home from from that there's a there's a highly for for copies of irony in it there's an irony in the not italian audience here that's columbus day celebrates italian americans and obviously the spanish as it is for the spanish empire but italian americans leading italian american of his day really julianna who just put away the bad guys is the grand mark of the parade that celebrates that and but he's wearable for fast because there's | ||
| it's americans that maybe we're not celebrating he did what a ruby map It's pretty ironic, right? | ||
| So he put out a $400,000 contract on me, and I was really insulted because five years earlier, the Sicilian Mafia had put out an $800,000 contract, and I felt like my value had gone down. | ||
| I mean, it was really ridiculous. | ||
| I used to be worth $800,000. | ||
| Now I'm only worth $400,000, and I put 300 of them in jail. | ||
| It was it was kind of embarrassing. | ||
| But at the same time, the Sicilians joined him. | ||
| So the so the FBI convinced me I should wear a vest. | ||
| And I never worn one since because they made me look too fat. | ||
| So, so vain. | ||
| I want to bring in Maria Luisa Rossi. | ||
| Maria, you're the top correspondent here for Mediaset, one of the most powerful voices in news in all of Europe. | ||
| Give us, what's your assessment of Columbus Day and particularly all the heat it's coming under in the cultural Marxist, by the cultural Marxist elite of New York City and the Biden regime? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Steve, good to be with you again. | |
| I am saddened. | ||
| Look at these gray skies behind me. | ||
| These are the gray skies of New York City once a most vibrant town where everybody wanted to come to. | ||
| And now it's just a gray picture of people flocking away. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because we have no courage. | ||
| The courage that distinguished Christopher Columbus is now being taken away. | ||
| And I think the mayor is right when he says, you know, we acquiesce. | ||
| We roll over. | ||
| We don't fight it. | ||
| We don't say anything about it. | ||
| Substituting Christopher Columbus with a generic brand is even more offensive. | ||
| Indigenous People's Day. | ||
| What is that? | ||
| Why not even having the guts to substitute Christopher Columbus with an indigenous person that we might find relevant? | ||
| It is rolling over. | ||
| It is denying our heritage. | ||
| It is offensive to Italians, to Americans, and to Italo-Americans. | ||
| Everybody knows, Steve, that this was the day that was granted in recognizance of the lynching of the 11 I am no revolutionary. | ||
| Americans in the end of the 1800s in New Orleans. Taking that away too. Why are we fighting it? I am no revolutionary. I am a diligent reporter, but I know what I see and I do not like what I see, Steve. | ||
| But I want to ask you about our brothers and sisters in Italy. | ||
| You know, we've done so much coverage over there with Salvini. | ||
| I've gone over. | ||
| I'm still in the throes of a legal fight to make sure that we keep our monastery, the gladiator school. | ||
| Just want to trigger the Guardian. | ||
| But what did the Italian people say? | ||
| I know they're under enormous pressure from the CCP virus, from economic anarchy. | ||
| But what is their impression of what's happened to the United States under this new regime? | ||
|
unidentified
|
What a great question. | |
| First of all, we have a Biden ban that it's been imposed not only on Italians, but on 480 million citizens of the Schengen area. | ||
| So, Europeans are not allowed to travel to the United States yet, unless they have a special visa. | ||
| So you could see what kind of damage this is doing to the relations between Italy and the United States, and Europe and the United States. | ||
| There isn't much interest in the United States right now, Steve, And you know why? | ||
| Because what they're telling me, America is no longer America. | ||
| America does not have the distinguished features that America used to have. | ||
| And so there is no interest and America is viewed as a declining power that is not willing to give what it once gave to the world. | ||
| And I'm not just talking about the economics of it all. | ||
| I'm talking about the inspiration. | ||
| As I said, curiosity, courage, Let's not forget what happened in Afghanistan. | ||
| And that, to me, is going to be a defining future and traits of what this administration will be portrayed as for the rest of its existence. | ||
| You know, I know you have a very deep love for this country, and particularly New York City. | ||
| You're there at the railhead of our decay. | ||
| Tell us, what are your thoughts of New York City? | ||
| Not just under de Blasio, but kind of this, the Larry Fink cultural elite, the Wall Street tycoons, the social media oligarchs. | ||
| Their New York is very different than the lived experience today of working class New Yorkers. | ||
| Tell us about that. | ||
| The decline of this country can be personified in the decline of our greatest city. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I absolutely agree. | |
| Not only I have a deep love for this country, I grew up here. | ||
| My father was a general in the Italian Army. | ||
| I'm an American citizen and an Italian citizen. | ||
| I couldn't have the better job talking to my country about my country, this country. | ||
| What I see right now is people being taken hostage of a massive operation of ignorance. | ||
| That is changing their character and their feature. | ||
| This city behind me, a city that I live in day in and day out, is changed fundamentally. | ||
| People are going away. | ||
| There's homeless people on the streets. | ||
| There's shootings every day. | ||
| We don't talk about the fact that there's an increase in crime of 30%. | ||
| There's shootings. | ||
| The police is not doing much because the police can't do much. | ||
| And this city that's supposed to attract The best minds and the best energy is no longer doing that, incapable of confronting anything that is the least bit contentious. | ||
| And I think Columbus Day Street is the allegory of our time. | ||
| It is a symbol of curiosity and courage that we want to deny because we, as a society right now, are incapable of dealing with it. | ||
| The easy way out is to cancel it. | ||
| Take it away. | ||
| Not talk about it. | ||
| Gray skies once again. | ||
| No parades, no hot dog, no pizza, no discussions. | ||
| Just let it run and people will forget. | ||
| What we are forgetting though, Steve, is that people minds are not asleep. | ||
| What we need to do is wake up. | ||
| What we need to do is report what we see, describe the situation and act and do it fast. | ||
| The Great Awakening. | ||
| Columbus personifies curiosity and courage, so says Maria Luisa Rossi from Mediaset. | ||
| Rudy, the nation turned to you in 2001, but approximately 10 years before that, the city of New York turned to you to save it from the Dinkins administration and really many decades of collapse of New York City. | ||
| What would be your recommendation today? | ||
| If you were about to step in and be mayor, what are the two or three things you would do immediately to turn this situation around? | ||
| I would first remove 3-4,000 people from office, like I did before, because the city is rotting. | ||
| The administration of the city is rotting. | ||
| It can't do anything competent, and it can't do anything honest. | ||
| I mean, they just signed up a guy, Jack A. Black, who's got a record of fraud for every project he's in, and they gave him $350 million to run homeless shelters, and the people there are starving. | ||
| And he's moved all that money to all his relatives and for-profit companies. | ||
| And the New York Times, of all places, says it's kind of par for the course in the billion dollars they give out for homelessness. | ||
| So the city is as corrupt as de Blasio was incompetent. | ||
| So that has to be dealt with. | ||
| Whenever Democrats run this place for too long, it becomes like Chicago. | ||
| Then the most important thing is to immediately change the policing, which I could do in a day. | ||
| It's really just a matter of trusting the police, understanding policing, sitting down with them, which I would do every day until I got it right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But they tell us, but Rudy, stop, stop, stop. | |
| They tell us the police can't be trusted. | ||
| They should defund the police. | ||
| They need more social workers. | ||
| How are you going to trust the police when the police cannot be trusted? | ||
| We would change that. | ||
| I would give a speech the very first day and say, from now on, we're trusting the police. | ||
| Count on me. | ||
| Let's see what happens. | ||
| I'll show you how we save children by counting on the police. | ||
| So you make a choice. | ||
| Would you rather go with the crooks, the bad guys and the communists and get your children killed? | ||
| Or do you want to go with me and I'll save as many black lives this time as I did last time? | ||
| And the last time I saved more black lives than any mayor in history. | ||
| So there's no reason to think I can't do it again. | ||
| Mayor, the homicide rate, CDC tells us the homicide rate in this nation is the highest in a hundred years. | ||
| The increase in homicides, the greatest increase in 100 years. | ||
| How would you stop the homicides in New York City today? | ||
| How would you stop the anarchy? | ||
| How would you stop the chaos? | ||
| How would you stop the fact that an Asian-American cannot walk into Times Square, they're not going to get pushed in the car, they're not going to get beat up, they're not going to get mugged. | ||
| How would you do it, Rudy? | ||
| Same way I did it last time, I policed it. | ||
| He took one billion out, The police department is down to its lowest level since I can remember, since before Dinkins. | ||
| And worse than it's being small, it's demoralized. | ||
| They don't want to act. | ||
| They wait for the crime to get committed and then they intervene. | ||
| A motivated police department intervenes before the crime is committed. | ||
| But if you intervene before the crime is committed, you can get in trouble. | ||
| And if the mayor doesn't say to you, as I did at every one of their graduations, I've got your back. | ||
| I want you to do that. | ||
| And if you get in trouble for it, and it's misunderstood, I'm going to be there with you. | ||
| I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt because we give every criminal in the city the benefit of the doubt. | ||
| I want you to prevent that lady from being hit. | ||
| I want you to prevent that kid from being shot. | ||
| And if that means you walk in in the middle of a holdup, or you walk in in the middle of an altercation, and somebody says you did something wrong, they damn well going to have to prove that. | ||
| Because I know you didn't. | ||
| I know you didn't try to save somebody's life. | ||
| You've got to make the police proactive. | ||
| I mean, it's almost common sense. | ||
| To prevent crime, the police have to be proactive. | ||
| They just can't be recorded. | ||
| It's proactive in defense of working class blacks and Hispanics in New York City. | ||
| That's the victims. | ||
| It's not Larry Fink. | ||
| It's not Larry Fink. | ||
| It's not the editors of the New York Times. | ||
| It's not the Mandarins and the media companies. | ||
| It's not NBC or CBS or any of that. | ||
| It's working class blacks and Hispanics that are the victims. | ||
| Of these thugs and murderers? | ||
| By the woke left? | ||
| I'll give you the exact percentage. | ||
| 75% 75% of the people killed in this city are black. | ||
| And, or maybe 70% and 75% do the shootings. | ||
| So the biggest by far victims of murder are black and they're black children. | ||
| And there are people in the black community who understand that and support that. | ||
| And you got to speak to them. | ||
| Not the phonies and the politicians and the racial hucksters. | ||
| I mean, half these guys are making money on this. | ||
| More than half are making money on this. | ||
| They're making money on the... How could it be that these communities for 50 years are deteriorating and black politicians have become millionaires? | ||
| Corruption! | ||
| Rudy, how do people get to your podcast? | ||
| You have 30 seconds. | ||
| How do they get to your podcast? | ||
| How do they get to your... Rudyscommonsense.com. | ||
| Rudyscommonsense.com. | ||
| And we're on these topics right now. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| He, you're hearing, one of the greatest living Americans. | ||
| So when they mock and ridicule him, look who's doing it. | ||
| This guy has a history of protecting the defenseless. | ||
| Rudy Giuliani, your hero and a patron. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Maria Luisa will join us on the other side. | ||

| 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. | ||
| It's Columbus Day. | ||
| Of course, they tell us there's no more Columbus Day sales because the Columbus brand is not in vogue at the moment. | ||
| So the old Columbus Day sales are out the door. | ||
| But every day is sales day at MyPillow.com. | ||
| Go to MyPillow.com. | ||
| You've got to put in promo code WAROOM to get the best deals. | ||
| Go there. | ||
| You got, you got toppers, pillows. | ||
| Of course, you got the Giza sheets. | ||
| Buy one, get one free. | ||
| But most importantly, get all over top of these towels because it's not going to last forever. | ||
| Six-pack, normally $109, now $39. | ||
| Best towels ever made, according to Dr. Peter Navarro. | ||
| And we know how obsessive he is about facts, okay? | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| It's Monday, 11 October, the year of our Lord 2021. | ||
| It's Columbus Day. | ||
| I want to go to Maria Luisa Rossi. | ||
| Maria Luisa, that, what you said, is Columbus is a personification of curiosity and courage. | ||
| Because he had the curiosity, but you've got to have the courage to actually do what he did. | ||
| And remember, ladies and gentlemen, courage is the most important of all virtues. | ||
| Because it's upon courage that all the other virtues rest. | ||
| And who tells us that? | ||
| Winston Churchill. | ||
| Maria Luisa, how can people follow you? | ||
| How can they follow your coverage? | ||
| You've got a... When you hear Maria Luisa report on America for Italy, you can see the way that somebody that deeply loves this country, but understands the culture of Europe and the culture of the United States, can frame it. | ||
| So Maria Luisa, how do people follow your coverage? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I'm on Twitter and I'm on Instagram and I'm activating my Getter account. | |
| So I love to talk and I would love for people to follow me and my thoughts on the United States and on Italy. | ||
| Our countries need to get back a relationship that they're losing, unfortunately. | ||
| Last question. | ||
| I had the leading abortionist in the world, Nancy Pelosi, our beloved Speaker of the House, who passes a bill in the House where you essentially abort a baby right up to the moment of birth. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| The most radical bill ever is a symbolism optics about what's happening in Texas and Roe v. Wade being rolled out through the Mississippi case by the Supreme Court. | ||
| And like I said, that's not my line of country, but that's essentially what's happening. | ||
| Please explain to me how she gets a private audience with the Pope? | ||
| Isn't this guy the head of the Catholic Church? | ||
| How does that happen and all the photo ops and he's blown out there and the Vatican social media is pushing out more than Pelosi's social media. | ||
| How does that work, ma'am? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, it beats me, and I was surprised to, actually I wasn't surprised to see it happen, but I was following the events as it unfolded. | |
| It's surprising to all Catholics, Roman Catholics, how this is happening. | ||
| But it's part of a trend that we have been witnessing. | ||
| You yourself have witnessed, Steve, visiting Rome and speaking in Rome many times, as you have, and with the great following that you have there. | ||
| There's something very strange is going on and I am not so sure, as I said, I like it as an Italian and as a Catholic. | ||
| There is a politicization of the Catholic Church that doesn't, is not followed by Roman Catholics and doesn't run well by me and by many others. | ||
| But we're following it. | ||
| We're looking at it. | ||
| And as I said before, we got to act and we have to do it fast. | ||
| Maria Luisa Rossi, thank you very much for joining us here in the War Room. | ||
| The Voice of Reason. | ||
| We celebrate Columbus Day because of the curiosity and courage of Christopher Columbus. | ||
| Okay, I want to go now to one of our domestic editors, Frank Mealy. | ||
| Connection's a little bad, but Frank's got a piece up in RealClearPolitics today, and we've put it up into the War Room news site. | ||
| Live Free or Die about medical autonomy. | ||
| Frank, what's the core argument in your piece? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks, Steve. | |
| Frank, we're going to have to reboot you or get you back up because we're not getting you. | ||
| Until we get Frank back up, I want to bring in a very special guest from the Los Angeles Fire Department, Captain Mario Nativada. | ||
| Captain, thank you very much for joining us in the War Room. | ||
| I want to have your thoughts on these vaccine mandates, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Steve. | |
| I'm a representative of LA County Free, Los Angeles County Fire Department. | ||
| I'm a captain there. | ||
| The vaccine mandates for us, it is a bit of an insult. | ||
| We've been dealing with the pandemic for the last 18 months in the county of Los Angeles. | ||
| Proudly serving, honorably serving the people of our community, courageously going into homes where we have sick individuals that are ill with COVID. | ||
| And for many of our members, we have immunity. | ||
| We have been sick with COVID-19 in the past. | ||
| And at this point in time, the County of Los Angeles is now imposing a mandate on us. | ||
| They're essentially telling us, be vaccinated. | ||
| Or terminated. | ||
| We're not given much else in the way of options. | ||
| We started the show today with a cold open with the, I think, the head sheriff in L.A. | ||
| County saying he wasn't going to do that. | ||
| You know, God bless Newsom and God bless these authorities, but the police, the sheriff's department wasn't going to do it. | ||
| What's going to happen with the fire department? | ||
| Here's what I don't understand. | ||
| You guys, since January of 2020, have been serving bravely the folks in L.A. | ||
| through the fire department. | ||
| And now we're a year and a half in this, almost two years into this. | ||
| Now they're coming up with a mandate that you either get vaccinated or you terminate it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's correct, sir. | |
| So both the County of Los Angeles and the City of Los Angeles firefighters are in the same fight together. | ||
| In the County of Los Angeles, there's 3,200 firefighters, you know, representing approximately 4 million citizens. | ||
| And of those 3,200 firefighters, 30% roughly of our department, LA County, is unvaccinated. | ||
| On the Los Angeles City side, approximately 58% are vaccinated, the remainder are not. | ||
| So you're looking at a total of approximately 1,400, roughly, firefighters, actually closer to 2,000 that are unvaccinated, and we're facing termination Or vaccination. | ||
| The mandate's real, and we're in a tough spot. | ||
| We need to bring awareness that our freedoms are being threatened. | ||
| Our liberty is being threatened. | ||
| We're trying to advocate for medical freedom, medical privacy, and it's just an uphill battle, Steve. | ||
| We need all the help we can get. | ||
| We need the community. | ||
| We need the support from the public. | ||
| We need them to call the Board of Supervisors, the mayors, Need help? | ||
| Okay, we're going to do that. | ||
| We're going to get the numbers for all this and get it organized and make sure that people have your back. | ||
| Here's what, and you see in New York City, I think the statistic I saw was 70 or 75 percent of African American males between 18 and 40 or 39 are not vaccinated. | ||
| Informed consent. | ||
| The best The best walkthrough of the science that I've seen, and look, I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but I believe in natural immunity over the vaccine because I've been told by the best experts in the world that sat in the show when we had the show that months and months and months and months before the mainstream media would call a pandemic we did back in January of 2020, why we know China. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We know what happened in Ube province. | ||
| We know what happened in Wuhan. | ||
| We had the top experts on the world here about herd immunity. | ||
| Right? | ||
| About natural immunity. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| And this is what they don't want to do. | ||
| What they want is informed. | ||
| What African-American males want is quite simple. | ||
| Informed consent. | ||
| They're rational human beings. | ||
| They're logical human beings. | ||
| The information has not been presented to them To have informed consent. | ||
| They're saying right now, no. | ||
| And you're having medical apartheid. | ||
| That's what this is. | ||
| A medical apartheid. | ||
| If you're an African-American male in New York City, you can't go in a restaurant. | ||
| Where's the liberal New York Times editorial page on that? | ||
| Where's Rachel Maddow on that? | ||
| Before you retire, before we run you out of here on April of next year, Rachel, spend more time with your family. | ||
| Why are you not on that? | ||
| Chris Hayes, why are you not on that? | ||
| Joy Ann Reid, why are you not on that? | ||
| It's medical apartheid! | ||
| And I don't know the math here, but I'm going to do a little speculation. | ||
| Of the 30% of the county, 42% of the city is the rough math. | ||
| I'll bet you that there's a pretty high proportion of Hispanic and African American firefighters in that crowd. | ||
| Why? | ||
| They have not had a rational argument made to them by authorities of why they should do this. | ||
| And instead of respecting this, this is what we're going to do. | ||
| People that have worked their entire adult lives in Service of the people of Los Angeles County and City, right before retirement, you're going to get terminated unless you get the vaccine or they're basically going to use it as a forcing function to make you get a vaccine against your free will as an American citizen. | ||
| That's the situation we've gotten into. | ||
| That's the situation. | ||
| So Captain Navita, how can this audience, the most powerful audience in all media because of the most activist, how can this audience assist the brave men and women of the fire department of the county in the city of Los Angeles? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I think the public, the general public needs to know first that they're coming after us. | |
| They're coming after the firefighters, the police officers, the nurses, those that are willing to speak up. | ||
| And once they take us, once they, Take us down. | ||
| Once they can impose their mandate and their agenda upon us, they're coming for you. | ||
| They're coming for the general public to force this mandate upon you and to force it upon your children. | ||
| So, do what you can to help us. | ||
| Speak up. | ||
| Be vocal. | ||
| Be active. | ||
| Go to City Council meetings. | ||
| Attend a meeting of the Board of Supervisors for the County of Los Angeles. | ||
| Call your Fire Chief. | ||
| Call your local fire station, voice your concerns that you're opposed to the mandate. | ||
| Not only is it a risk for us and our careers, but it's also going to put the community at risk. | ||
| If you terminate 30% of your workforce, you're going to have such a staffing issue. | ||
| It's not going to be sustainable. | ||
| And there's going to be extreme delays with having rescue ambulances and paramedics and fire engines. | ||
| Serving your community. | ||
| There's already a shortage in the north end of Valley County with ambulance drivers. | ||
| I think that the company of their American Medical Response just had about 30% of their workforce walk off. | ||
| And the ambulance delays are 30 to 40 minutes right now, roughly. | ||
| So if you do that to the fire departments, if you lose 20, 30, 40% of your workforce, and then right at a time when we're entering one of the worst seasons for brush season, October, November, December here on the West Coast, we have the Santa Ana windstorms. | ||
| This could be one of the worst seasons. | ||

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. | ||
| We have Captain Mario Navarro from the L.A. | ||
| Fire Department. | ||
| Captain, I don't think people, they put these mandates out there, they don't think about what's going to happen with the staffing issues. | ||
| Tell us how big a crisis this is. | ||
| Right now, you're already in a crisis. | ||
| Tell us what this is going to cause. | ||

So, just to give you a little idea of what's going on, the Miami City brothers are looking at possibly losing a thousand firefighters out of a workforce of about 3,500. | |
| And on the LA County fireside, you're looking at losing approximately 900 by my math out of a workforce of 3,200. | ||
| So close to 2000 firefighters, if they force us to be vaccinated and we stand the line and we hold the line and we say, no, we will not be vaccinated. | ||
| We're already immunized and we don't want anything to do with your experimental vaccine. | ||
| So if we hold the line. | ||
| And they terminate us, that's it. | ||
| You'll have a shortage of approximately 2,000 firefighters. | ||
| And to compound that, to make it worse, our staffing issues are already low. | ||
| Let's see, just yesterday in the LAFD, they had to close four fire stations, four engine companies, six rescue ambulances, two truck companies. | ||
| They had an additional 42 truck companies that were short by one firefighter. | ||
| And then on the county side, We had 241 vacancies. | ||
| That's 241 firefighters that needed to be forced to go to work. | ||
| So that's on the county side. | ||
| Just this year alone, there have been 14,000 recalls, 14,000 recalls to date, year to date. | ||
| A recall is when a individual is forced to go to work. | ||
| And that is because that is a result of a shortage in our workforce. | ||
| We're roughly 10 to 13 percent short on firefighters in our staffing. | ||
| Now, if you take 20 or 30 percent of our workforce and you terminate us because we're not vaccinated, you're going to look at the biggest staffing crisis that L.A. | ||
| County, L.A. | ||
| City has ever seen, ever, in history, right at a time when we're rolling into fire season, right before the Santa Ana windstorms come. | ||
| On top of that, with Gavin Newsom releasing inmates all throughout the year, our wildland division is severely compromised. | ||
| In the past, we would have approximately 24 CDCR crews. | ||
| These are hand crews that help us do the work of fighting wildfires. | ||
| This year, we're down to eight. | ||
| So we went from 24 crews to eight. | ||
| That's a significant reduction in our crews. | ||
| So we're very vulnerable. | ||
| And it's only going to be worse if they continue to force us with these mandates. | ||
| Captain, we're going to have you, thank you for making time to come in today in a hurry. | ||
| We're going to get more into the depths of this and we're going to get the numbers. | ||
| Right now, do you have social media people can follow you? | ||
| We're going to come back around and make sure, the Board of Supervisors, the City Council, we're going to flood the zone. | ||
| We'll take care of that, but we'll get to Matthew, I want the audience to just make sure we're going to pull this together. | ||
| How can the people follow you on social media? | ||

|
Okay, we got two Instagrams, Firefighters for Freedom and At L.A. | |
| County Free. | ||
| That's Firefighters for Freedom and at L.A. | ||
| County Free, and you can follow us on Instagram. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| We know you're going to be shut down on that, so we'll make sure you get up on getter. | ||
| Captain, it's an honor. | ||
| Tell the men and women of the fire department that are fighting this that the war room has their back, and we're going to come in big on this thing. | ||
| We'll get the numbers for the audience. | ||
| Thank you very much, sir. | ||
|

|
Thank you, sir. | |
| Another patriot. | ||
| By the way, Frank Mealy, because of technical problems, the Live Free or Die piece, one of the lead pieces on RealClearPolitics. | ||
| It's up in the newsroom. | ||
| We're going to get Frank on this afternoon. | ||
| I want to bring in Tom Sauer. | ||
| He's been on the show before. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| Tell us, what's the situation with these pilots at Southwest? | ||
| The company's saying, and FedEx, they're saying, no, it's about weather. | ||
| It's about some FAA issues. | ||
| Is that actually accurate? | ||
| Or we have another situation about to force vaccines onto thinking men and women who are saying, I don't know if I want to do this. | ||
| I usually wouldn't trust any major corporate PR outlet or any government agency to try to cover up their dirty laundry. | ||
| Obviously, they're going to lie or they're going to obfuscate. | ||
| So, my friends and partners and I have many friends and family members who are in the aviation industry. | ||
| I'm not a pilot. | ||
| I'm not in the aviation world. | ||
| I'm in a completely different field. | ||
| But you're an academy grad. | ||
| Surface warfare officer, EOD. | ||
| Right, that's right. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
| So, but what happened was is I received word from one of my friends and business partners and classmates from his pilot friends talking about the walkout, how many, well, not a walkout per se, literally, but it was a sick call in by some ATCs and was blamed on weather, then military training, which doesn't really make sense. | ||
| They kind of fell off that one. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They didn't really... Oh, so we have air, it's air traffic controllers and pilots. | |
| We had a there was a small sick call in and that was what was a tweet that went pretty viral uh and then also but the bigger issue it's complicated but the bigger issue really is the pilots particularly some of the major airlines and uh many of them I'd say probably about roughly half from what I'm being told from my certain pilots and I'm just checking right now roughly half maybe a little less than half of the pilots at Southwest are not vaccinated and probably don't intend to be and if let's say half of those unvaccinated say hey we're not doing it | ||
| Then, you know, that's going to shut down Southwest. | ||
| See, here's the thing you've got in scale. | ||
| Look at what we just heard about the fire department. | ||
| It is, and this is what the authority, the regimes have to understand. | ||
| You can't provide safety and service, and once again, who is the most affected? | ||
| Working class Hispanics and blacks. | ||
| This is what's going to happen. | ||
| The whole burden of this regime is put on them. | ||
| Whether it's an invasion of the Rio Grande Valley, or what's happening in LA County. | ||
| The entire burden is put on working class African Americans and blacks if you had those walkouts if you had these people terminated in the LA in the fire department you couldn't you couldn't possibly take care of the brush fires you couldn't take care of the basic emergencies that happen every day in the city this is what's happening in the in the in the airlines also and furthermore yes sir and I'll furthermore like to point out that one of the main concerns why so many pilots are concerned about getting vaccinated at all is because you know | ||
| Every six months they have to have an FAA physical, flight physical, and there already have been reported side effects of the vaccine. | ||
| Granted, they might be rare, but you're still taking a very real risk. | ||
| Of your career. | ||
| Of your entire career that you can't get in a cockpit anymore. | ||
| Also, furthermore, I'd like to read a text I received just five minutes ago. | ||
| This is from one of the airline pilots. | ||
| This is way too much excitement for me. | ||
| One of the standard airline pilot life goals is, quote, don't make the news. | ||
| My prediction is that this weekend is a small preview of what's coming over the next two months. | ||
| It's going to get worse, much worse. | ||
| You ain't seen nothing yet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| And furthermore, I have people in my family who are controllers, one of whom is not getting vaccinated, and she is anticipating losing her job. | ||
| Here's what's going to happen. | ||
| When these flights get cancelled, flights prices will go up. | ||
| Who gets hit? | ||
| Working class people in this country. | ||
| This regime, do you think Larry Fink, do you think Larry Fink, the financier of this regime, do you think the $10 trillion man, do you think he cares? | ||
| He's flying private with security guards. | ||
| Do you think he cares about you're not going to get coverage in Los Angeles County for your fires? | ||
| Do you think he cares about Southwest Airlines and these other cheaper airlines? | ||
| A thousand pilots quit so the price has got to go up. | ||
| Do you think he cares at all? | ||
| He does not. | ||
| What they want is chaos. | ||
| What they want to show is the system's breaking down. | ||
| This is what they're doing. | ||
| And the burden is on working class people in this country. | ||
| Tell us about your group. | ||
| Tell us about your corporate. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| So the reason I came here originally was to speak, to have some business meetings and also go on another podcast on TimCast IRL. | ||
| You're on The Great Tim Pool tonight. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| We've got to watch him. | ||
| That was scheduled. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| I love Tim Pool. | ||
| Best podcast around. | ||
| Been a big fan, and so originally to speak about mental health addiction and veterans issues. | ||
| So that's the focus of my group, my company, my partners. | ||
| And you dedicate your professional life to this now? | ||
| That's absolutely right. | ||
| To veterans. | ||
| Why'd you do that? | ||
| Uh, because one, I mean, it's the mental health and addiction crisis is just absolutely huge. | ||
| And it's, and it's, I think it's a bigger crisis than even COVID. | ||
| And I think the mental health, it's a real crisis. | ||
| It's a very real crisis. | ||
| And particularly among veterans. | ||
| So we're, uh, that's one of the, that's what we focus on right now. | ||
| We have four locations out in Orange County. | ||
| Um, if I may, Miramarrecovery.com. | ||
| We do that. | ||
| We're a contracted community care provider with the Department of Veterans Affairs so if you're in the VA health care system and you know so you or somebody you know in the western United States we're only contract for the western US right now is in need of mental health and addiction treatment that's what we're here for. | ||
| The reason I want to do this there's all kind of articles a day that there's hundreds of thousands of troops active-duty military saying hey my informed consent I thought about this it's not for me at this time what's going to happen there? | ||
| You know, I actually had one of my EOD friends, as well, speak out to me, and what I told him is, I said, look, they pumped us full of all sorts of crap when we were in, and he was already at 18 and a half years, which means he's got 18 months until he can retire. | ||
| And I told him, I said, hey man, I don't know if this is worth your pension. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I really did because, hey, when you raise your... Are they going to fire that, are they going to terminate guys that close? | |
| I think he's, I think he's going to just, I think he's just going to bend the knee. | ||
| No, but you think they're going to terminate guys? | ||
| If you don't get the vaccine, are they bound and determined to terminate? | ||
| If you've got 18 and a half years in, we don't care, you're gone. | ||
| I wouldn't take it off the table that they'd be administratively separated. | ||
| People were talking about dishonorable discharge. | ||
| That's not how that works. | ||
| In order to get a dishonorable, you have to commit a felony, something that would land you in prison in the real world. | ||
| So I don't anticipate that happening, but I think there might be some people that will. | ||
| And all of this comes down to, from the working class, employees, versus massive corporate millionaires, the whole millionaires and billionaires, right? | ||
| Like somebody else used to say. | ||
| And when they talk about that, right now it's a standoff. | ||
| And it's going to be a matter of time before somebody's going to have to blink, right? | ||
| Whether it's the government or whether it's massive, you know, big, you know, big corporate companies, somebody's going to blink. | ||
| Well, and the way to get them to blink, forcing them to blink, is to stand tall. | ||
| We have to have these people back. | ||
| How do people get to your social media? | ||
| My social media, I'm on Twitter, at Thomas B. Sauer, T-H-O-M-A-S, B as in boy, S-A-U-E-R, on Twitter. | ||
| And also, my company is the MacArthur Group. | ||
| However, our primary company right now is Miramar Recovery. | ||
| And that's where people go to find out about the veterans issues. | ||
| That's correct, yeah. | ||
| We're in Orange County, California. | ||
| We serve veterans across the western United States, and anyone as well, you know, with private insurance, cash pay, we do all that. | ||
| The addiction issues with veterans out of control? | ||
| Out of control. | ||
| We've had to turn people away. | ||
| We've literally had to turn people away. | ||
| We just don't have room. | ||
| I've had to put a waiting list out there right now. | ||
| I mean, I hate to say it, but it's one of those things where you say, okay, from a business perspective, yeah, things are going well, but I really wish there was another way where if we just turn off addiction and mental health issues, I'd much rather find another way to make a living. | ||
| For the Forever Wars. | ||
| Tom, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| I want an expert in the Forever Wars, Darren Beattie of revolver.news. | ||
| Darren, get us up to speed on my favorite topic. | ||
| My favorite topic. | ||
| The 6th January situation. | ||
| What's happening, sir? | ||
| I hope little Jamie Raskin and Benny Thompson, I hope you guys are listening to War Room and particularly listening to the great Darren Beattie. | ||
| What's going on in this FBI operation that was on January 6th? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oops. | |
| Well, we've got another major headache for FBI Director Christopher Wray. | ||
| It is a white hot piece right at the top of revolver.news exploding right now, and I'd really like to talk about it. | ||
| The last time I was on the show, I believe we discussed the curious arrest of Green Beret and Oath Keeper's affiliate called Jeremy Brown. | ||
| Jeremy Brown had made news before because He was approached, allegedly, by various government operatives and asked to become an informant. | ||
| He said no. | ||
| He recorded video of that, and he released the video. | ||
| And so what happened recently is that he was swooped in on, the Feds took his electronics, the whole deal, and he was arrested on trespassing charges. | ||
| And this major piece at Revolver.News explores the implications of that, and it really ends up So, first of all, the nature of the trespassing charge itself, I think, deserves a few words. | ||
| Trespassing does not mean he was in the Capitol. | ||
| It raises really interesting questions and so I'll go by them one by one. | ||
| So first of all, the nature of the trespassing charge itself I think deserves a few words. | ||
| Trespassing does not mean he was in the capital. | ||
| In fact, unfortunately, the technical definition of trespassing by the law is trespassing on grounds, and in order to be grounds, it simply has to be inside the barriers. | ||
| Now what happens, and this is in the piece. | ||
| We have video of people, mysterious people, cutting the fences and everything well before the major crowd went to the Capitol. | ||
| So a lot of people who were technically trespassing and could be arrested for it were simply standing around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They walked right into a booby trap because this is illegal. | |
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| We're taking a break. | ||
| But now it makes sense. | ||
| I couldn't understand why people were opening up the bicycle racks. | ||
| If you're telling me that's the technical thing of trespassing, whoa baby! | ||
| Can't wait to get more of this. | ||
| Darren B is going to return after the short commercial break about 6th January. | ||

| It's time to cancel cancel culture. | ||
| So it's time, I say, to promote the T-word, transhumanism, and just to make sure that people understand it properly. | ||
| That it's a philosophy not for the elite, just, but for everyone. | ||
| And we should emphasize the transhumanist values. | ||
| Openness. | ||
| This is not closed-mindedness. | ||
| It's not a cult, as Steve Bannon, the former advisor to President Trump, said in his podcast a couple of days ago, when he apparently said, there's a bunch of cult members meeting in Madrid to discuss transhumanism. | ||
| Interesting. | ||
| We are not like that. | ||
| We want to emphasize our openness, our diversity, and our support for true liberty, true creativity, truly being alive, and that we must exert agency. | ||
| We must steer technology. | ||
| We must steer society so that it is truly for the best. | ||
| Okay, dude, I didn't apparently say it, I said it, okay? | ||
| And you're a more dangerous occult, and we're blowing the whole thing up. | ||
| You guys are extremely dangerous, and what you are proposing for mankind is even more dangerous. | ||
| And of all the other stuff we got, the most important fight we've got is these Out of control, technology radicals that are driving this concept of transhumanism. | ||
| Joe Allen was supposed to go to the conference, couldn't because of the COVID virus, but he monitored the entire thing. | ||
| He's got a big report coming out. | ||
| He's going to be back on tonight, 5 o'clock. | ||
| We're going to drill down on it. | ||
| The reason we had to bump in was we've got to get to Darren Beatty on this breaking story on Revolver. | ||
| Darren Beatty. | ||
| From the sublime to January 6th. | ||
| So they moved the barricades to set up a trap. | ||
| Walk us through the whole thing. | ||
| We've got about five minutes. | ||
| We'd like to continue exposing the transhuman levels of corruption going on in the FBI in relation to 1-6. | ||
| And so, as I mentioned, this trespassing charge is a completely trivial, bogus charge. | ||
| People, mysterious people, there's a video of it at revolver.news on the piece. | ||
| Cutting down the fence as well before the crowd came here, simply standing around within a certain proximity of the Capitol is technically a criminal offense, but there are so many people that it's interesting to see who they actually decide to go after and when. | ||
| So the first really interesting nugget that we uncovered in the indictment and arrest of this Oath Keeper Jeremy Brown, we noted fact really buried in the criminal complaint that the FBI placed a direct phone call to Brown on the night of January 6, as well as the following day, asking him where he was, and evidently they told him. | ||
| So they knew that Brown was technically trespassing since January 6. | ||
| Usually when there's new charges or new arrests, that's on account of new evidence. | ||
| So it raises the really peculiar question of timing. | ||
| Why did they wait so long? | ||
| To go after this relatively minor figure, Jeremy Brown, for a completely minor and trivial offense like trespassing. | ||
| What's going on with this? | ||
| And so, furthermore, how did the FBI know to call Jeremy Brown on such a casual basis the night of January 6th itself? | ||
| And it turns out there are more curious facts. | ||
| So, Jeremy Brown is part of the Florida Oath Keeper's contingent. | ||
| And this exact contingent makes up 50% of the Oath Keeper defendants in the biggest conspiracy case related to 1-6. | ||
| So if the FBI was tracking Brown before January 6, it would mean they were already tightly tracking the exact local network they later claimed committed the day's most serious offenses. | ||
| Which is very curious in its own right, especially when we consider Brown's exposure of the fact that they were actively recruiting informants from that very group that now constitutes 50% of the conspiracy indictments. | ||
| And so this raises even bigger and more disturbing questions related to 1-6 and federal involvement. | ||
| First of all, if they wait Eight months to go after this guy, Brown. | ||
| It raises the question still again, why hasn't Oath Keeper's founder and head, Stuart Rhodes, been arrested? | ||
| In fact, we have evidence of him standing on the Capitol steps. | ||
| It's a stupid charge. | ||
| I think anyone shouldn't be arrested for this. | ||
| But if they're selectively going after Jeremy Brown and others like Mark Ibrahim, They have this layup indictment that they can use on Rhodes, whom they claim is such a dangerous figure associated with this group. | ||
| Why haven't we done that? | ||
| Why haven't they done that? | ||
| And another astonishing detail from this piece. | ||
| So this particular individual, Stuart Rhodes, head of the Oath Keepers, his phone calls Appear in 55% 55% of all the phone calls in the 16 person conspiracy indictment on the Oath Keepers involve roads. | ||
| And he's not even a defendant. | ||
| And in fact, when you include another person, mysteriously unindicted as well, person 10, 100% of the phone calls referenced and used in the Oath Keepers indictments are from two people that are not indicted. | ||
| In the case of Rhodes, he hasn't even been searched. | ||
| Everybody's got to go to Revolver. | ||
| This is the cutting edge of getting this. | ||
| His theory of the case, Darren B's theory of the case, is this a failure of intelligence or is it a failed intelligence operation? | ||
| Okay, you get it from Revolver, and we're so proud to put it up here on the War Room. | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||
