The virus has now killed more than 100 people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 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. | ||
| It's Thursday, the 14th of October, the year of our Lord, 2021. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| We're live today on the road as we will be much of the next two or three weeks throughout the country. | ||
| California, Pennsylvania, Arizona, other stops from the Commonwealth of Virginia today. | ||
| I want to bring in a Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. | ||
| There's a court-martial going underway, the sentencing phase for Lieutenant Colonel Scheller. | ||
| I want to bring in now Senior Chief Petty Officer Eddie Gallagher and his wife, Andrea. | ||
| Senior Chief of the Pipe Hitters Foundation, you're supporting Colonel Scheller. | ||
| Can you give us an update on exactly what's going on? | ||
| I'd like to make sure because the audience is kind of confusing about it for a court-martial. | ||
| Colonel Scheller has already pled guilty. | ||
| I want to go through, make sure people have the details of what exactly the status is. | ||
| What were the charges? | ||
| What did he plead guilty to before we get into what today's arguments are about the sentencing? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, sure. | |
| Basically, I'll try to dumb it down as much as possible because the military justice system can get confusing. | ||
| Yeah, so the trial started today. | ||
| Lieutenant Colonel Scheller and his legal team already had a pre-arranged agreement that he's going to plead guilty and that the most maximum charge that he would take would just be a letter of reprimand. | ||
| That is what the defense team gave to the judge. | ||
| And just to put out, you know, Lieutenant Colonel Scheller also Uh, foregoed having a jury. | ||
| So it's all going to be on this judge and what he decides. | ||
| So, you know, the legal team got up there and, uh, I know they had a bunch of, uh, witnesses get up there today, um, and plead the case for Lieutenant Colonel Sheller. | ||
| Um, and you know, he did plead guilty to each of the five charges, which, I mean, they're misdemeanors. | ||
| Uh, it's, you know, conduct unbecoming, uh, which is a catch all in the military, uh, contempt for your superior's dereliction of duty. | ||
| Um, and I'm sort of, Blanking on the other two, but he pled guilty to all all five of those charges Which I think shed something as well, you know, this man is holding himself accountable, you know for what he did So, you know, I think you know from his first message that he put out about accountability. I think maybe Millie and Everybody else should be taking notes on you know, this is what a leader does. He holds himself accountable and We're waiting on the outcome Well, hang on, I just want to make sure everyone | ||
| understands that. | ||
| Because conduct for For a guy who had been, I think, 18 and a half years, a true combat leader, a real warrior, a hero to many, and really stepping out and trying to hold folks accountable, or calling for accountability, to hold themselves accountable, when you have charges like conduct unbecoming, a dereliction of duty, it just goes so against The way he's comported himself, and this is all for a Facebook post, basically outside the chain of command. | ||
| Essentially saying, instead of going to the chain of command, you went to the world through a Facebook rant. | ||
| I mean, it seems to me to be pretty heavy charges, given what Colonel Scheller did, but the Marine Corps has got its way, it's going to roll. | ||
| He pled guilty to those, a couple of charges, and I guess the three or four subsets to it. | ||
| The sentencing today, how severe, do we know how severe the sentence could be? | ||
| I know what he's arguing, which is his lawyers, I think it's Tim Palatori, he's got a pretty good legal team that I think you and Bernie Kerrick and others have helped put together, but I know they're arguing for a letter of censure, right? | ||
| Just a letter. | ||
| Do we have any idea what the Marine Corps is arguing for? | ||
| How severe they want the punishment? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We, we really don't, uh, you know, and that's, that's the thing that sort of we're holding our breath on. | |
| It's, uh, you know, the Marine Corps is probably divided over this. | ||
| Uh, you know, I'm, I'm sure there's other senior leader leaders out there that want to see him cruft for speaking out and speaking the truth, but there's also the other half that believe in everything that he said, you know, including the Piper Foundation, which is why we supported him. | ||
| Um, and you know, just to go back on the using your chain of command or putting stuff out on, uh, on social media. | ||
| I mean, we know, you know, if he went to his chain of command with this and said, Hey, I want accountability, they would have told him to shut up and sit down. | ||
| And that would have been the end of it. | ||
| So in the end, you know, I'm, I'm hoping whether, you know, he's pleading guilty to these transgressions, but I'm hoping that these transgressions will be a lesson for every leader in the military, you know, that people do need to speak out when things go wrong. | ||
| Andrew, I want to turn to you. | ||
| It's a letter. | ||
| They're asking for a letter of reprimand, which would be what his lawyers are arguing for. | ||
| Can you tell us, from the family's perspective, I think some of the testimony today actually said he was under some pressure anyway with his family. | ||
| What is the pressure that's put on a family and an individual, since you had to go through this with Senior Chief and your family? | ||
| What is the pressure like on a trial that has global attention like this has? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it can be absolutely devastating. | |
| I mean, when the rug is ripped out from under you, your command is coming after you, you have the full weight of the government, and it's, you know, the government vs. Lt. | ||
| Col. | ||
| Scheller, or in our case, it was the government against Eddie Gallagher, who he had served faithfully, who Lt. | ||
| Col. | ||
| Scheller, up to this point, has served very faithfully. | ||
| And I do want to make a note that, you know, he has a wife, he has three children. | ||
| He had said at the onset of that original statement, calling for accountability on social media, that he was willing to risk His retirement, his position, his family, everything. | ||
| And as a matter of fact, all of that has come to pass. | ||
| The reason that we stepped in was because we know, as you mentioned, Steve, all too well, that as soon as you do something outside of where the military, you know, they can have people online and promoting and saying how great it is, but no one is arguing, not the defense, They can't argue. | ||
| The defense is basically stating that nothing he said was false. | ||
| It was all true from the beginning. | ||
| So him pleading guilty is just simply stating everything that I originally said is true. | ||
| So yes, to answer your question, the hardship extends way past him to his family, to his entire lifestyle, and the possible loss of retirement benefits. | ||
| Everything is on the line for this guy, and that's why our foundation stepped in and Um, raise the money for him and his family. | ||
| That's part of what we do. | ||
| And we help members of the armed services that are in crisis. | ||
| And sometimes crisis is a roller coaster for these people that are exposed to national tension in the way that Stuart Teller was. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And, uh, I'd like to just add on with something real quick on that. | ||
| Sorry, Steve. | ||
| Sure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, just to back up, I know last week, you know, there was a big deal about his Facebook posts and a lot of, uh, your supporters, our supporters, Trump supporters in general, Uh, we're enraged about some of the comments he made, but this is what we're talking about. | |
| This man is in crisis. | ||
| You know, you can't judge a man's actions when he's in a turmoil like that, you know, when he has that amount of stress coming down on him. | ||
| I mean, he still needs help, which is why we are still sticking with him and staying behind him. | ||
| You know, we've been through that, but I would say to people, you know, don't judge him unless you've walked a mile in his shoes. | ||
| No, I like what you said last week, by the way. | ||
| I think when the posse heard it, I think there's like 150 people out of, what, 30,000 had asked for their money back and then 50 rescinded on that. | ||
| I think as long as the posse has information, Senior Chief, and knows what's going on, I think the most powerful thing you said that last week was that pipe hitters is there for them on their worst day, right? | ||
| Not their best day. | ||
| And I think that's very, you know, it's very, very powerful. | ||
| And Andrea, I want to ask you, Look, you've had people like Senior Chief Petty Officer Gallagher that has dedicated his life to the defense of his country, fought on foreign battlefields, risked his life, put his family really at jeopardy with all the deployments. | ||
| You've got Lieutenant Colonel Scheller, the exact same thing. | ||
| All the deployments, all the pressure on the family, you know, all the baseball games, Little League games, graduations you've given up and serving your country on foreign battlefields. | ||
| What are the optics when it's the best guys who are looking for accountability in the chain of command? | ||
| Right, that are put on trial and put through trying to be humiliated and for a guy like Scheller, his courage to be up for conduct on becoming a dereliction of duty, a way that just grinds against people, even if you get the honorable discharge of the discharge on honorable circumstances. | ||
| Just to have that. | ||
| What optics is that sending to young recruits and particularly junior officers and people just becoming part of the non-commissioner officer group? | ||
| What do you think's the message sent to that and their wives and their loved ones and their families? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we know what the message is. | |
| The message is sit down and shut up and do what you're told. | ||
| And if you fall out of line, you know, you're going to be the one that everything is held on. | ||
| Just as they did to Eddie as an enlisted person, they're doing to him. | ||
| As a Lieutenant Colonel, we saw everybody on C-SPAN who was actually responsible for the death of the 13th service member that died and thereafter a drone strike that killed seven kids, an illegitimate war crime. | ||
| They're going to get off scot-free. | ||
| Lieutenant Colonel Scheller is truly going to be the only, mark my words, Steve, he's going to be the only person held accountable for any of this debacle in Afghanistan. | ||
| And I do want to tell your viewers something. | ||
| President Trump reached out. | ||
| Eddie spoke to him personally. | ||
| If there is a man on this planet that knows how much the mainstream media will work to ruin you, to throw out dirty laundry against you, it's President Trump. | ||
| And once Eddie explained to him the situation that Lt. | ||
| that Kohlschild was in, the pressure he was under when he made those statements. | ||
| We have the most gracious and loving President of the Soviet Union. | ||
| We are in awe of the fact that what we've built. | ||
| We had a little bit of your screen just froze for a second. | ||
| Just go back over. | ||
| I want to hear that again about President Trump reaching out and about he knows about this more than anybody. | ||
| Let us hear that again. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Eddie can speak to what they talked about. | |
| But basically, President Trump reached out. | ||
| He asked, what were the circumstances behind the service member being so upset with him? | ||
| And, you know, Eddie simply stated this person is in crisis. | ||
| He's, you know, nearly served two decades in the War on Terror. | ||
| And when President Trump understood the context, he understood that this was made while this person and this service member was in a very, you know, crisis-like situation. | ||
| He was absolutely gracious. | ||
| He thanked us for what we were doing. | ||
| He thanked us for Piper the Foundation. | ||
| He helped out our family. | ||
| He knows where our loyalty lies to him. | ||
| But the thing is, everyone needs to realize that President Trump is not easily offended. | ||
| President Trump understands the hardship more than anybody that these soldiers are going through because the debacle in Afghanistan was something that was completely avoidable. | ||
| And so he is very sympathetic. | ||
| And, you know, we just want to give a huge shout out to him for his sympathy and understanding. | ||
| And just let your audience know he's not offended. | ||
| President Trump is OK. | ||
| And we can all, you know, rest assured that Pipe Sweater Foundation is going to continue to help members that are in crisis and sometimes supporting the troops, it doesn't always look the way that you want it to. | ||
| I guess that's what I'll say. | ||
| Perfect. | ||
| Senior Chief, how do people get to Pipe Hitters and how do they follow you guys on social media to keep up with all the developments, particularly tonight, closing arguments, hopefully with Colonel Scheller, and then tomorrow when we find out the results? | ||
| How do people follow you? | ||
| How do they get to Pipe Hitters? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| So you go on PipeHitterFoundation.org. | ||
| We have Andrea, Senior Chief Petty Officer Gallagher, thank you. | ||
| Thank you for having Colonel Scheller's back. | ||
| You can also go to the Pipe Hitter Foundation's Instagram where we constantly put up updates on all the people that we're helping. | ||
| And also on my page, eddie underscore Gallagher, where I constantly put up updates, especially with what's going on with Lieutenant Colonel right now. | ||
| Andrea, Senior Chief Petty Officer Gallagher, thank you. | ||
| Thank you for having Colonel Schellers back. | ||
| We'll check in with you guys tomorrow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| We're happy to do it. | ||
| Make sure you follow the Senior Chief and Andrea on Instagram and also go to their homepage. | ||
| We'll come back on tomorrow for a very important court martial. | ||
| I want to bring in Captain Bannett. | ||
| We've got about a minute here. | ||
| We're going to hold you over through the break. | ||
| Your assessment right now of, I know you've been following this closely, of Colonel Scheller. | ||
| I hope that he gets the letter of reprimand that he's asking for. | ||
| That's what he deserves, given everything. | ||
| And the fact that General Milley, General McKenzie and Mr. Austin are not being held accountable for their actions and the deaths of those 13 service members is despicable. | ||
| And like Andrew Gallagher said, he will be, Lieutenant Colonel Scheller, I believe will be the only one held accountable for calling for accountability. | ||
| The people that should be held accountable will not be held accountable. | ||
| How is that going to set with the junior officers, do you think, the senior non-commissioned officers right now? | ||
| How do you think it's set up? | ||
| If Austin, Millie, and the rest of them, McKenzie, get off of this. | ||
| I believe you're going to see a lot of good senior leaders in the officer corps and in the non-commissioned officer corps get out because they have no faith in their leadership. | ||
| They want to know that their leaders have their back and fully support them. | ||
| And given the fact that those three War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pandemic. | |
| are still in the positions they're in, given what they did and what they caused in Afghanistan, that there's no faith in them and there's no faith in the chain of command. | ||
| Okay, hang on, we're gonna take a short commercial break. | ||
| You'll join us in the other side break. | ||
| We have Boris Epstein live in Arizona with updates in the War Room. | ||

| Okay, Captain Bennett, we're going to have you back to talk. | ||
| The suicide situation is Out of control. | ||
| There's something not right here. | ||
| And we're going to have you back tomorrow, go through, break down some numbers, break down some numbers. | ||
| But right now, can you give us your social media as we're following the Colonel Scheller court-martial down at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina with Andrea Gallagher, Senior Chief Petty Officer Gallagher, Captain Bannon. | ||
| What's your social media, ma'am? | ||
| The War Room Posse can find me on Twitter and Getter at Maureen underscore Bannon and on Instagram at Real Maureen Bannon. | ||
| Okay ma'am, thank you very much. | ||
| I want to bring you now out in Arizona. | ||
| Thank you for having me. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Boris Epstein is going to give us a political update. | ||
| A lot going on in Georgia. | ||
| President of the United States, everybody back in D.C. | ||
| is very upset. | ||
| My phone's been blowing up all day. | ||
| Well, for a number of reasons. | ||
| But one of them is President Trump. | ||
| Sitting there and saying, hey, nobody's gonna come out to vote until we get to the bottom of 3 November. | ||
| Isn't he just putting people on notice, Boris, for what reality is? | ||
| Is there anything shocking about what he said? | ||
| Oh, people calling me up to, oh, you know, why would you say that? | ||
| Because President Trump, as we know from his win in 2016 to his win in 2020 to his coming win in 2024, President Trump has his finger on the pulse of the American electorate unlike any elected officials. | ||
| He's not a politician, so I'm not going to say politician. | ||
| Unlike any elected official in the history of this country. | ||
| And yes, until we get to the bottom of what happened in 2020, just like in France, people don't want to go vote. | ||
| People aren't going to go vote. | ||
| But Steve, you buried the lead. | ||
| First of all, Captain Bannon's got to say she's coming in hot on social media, okay? | ||
| If you don't say that, I think giving her social media just isn't complete, okay? | ||
| So that's number one. | ||
| Two, you buried the lead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you saying you're getting a little bit of coverage? | |
| Are you in the news, Steve Bannon? | ||
| Because I don't know. | ||
| I don't know if maybe I'm missing it. | ||
| Always. | ||
| Always in the news cycle. | ||
| Coming in hot. | ||
| And not on the gram. | ||
| Coming in hot, not on the gram. | ||
| Coming in hot on Capitol Hill. | ||
| You're in, you're in Arizona. | ||
| We got a fiasco in Georgia. | ||
| We got issues in Pennsylvania and they had a brilliant article, I forget where I read it yesterday, that said this Shapiro is, the Democrats are counting on this for 2024. | ||
| Shapiro's run for governor. | ||
| So connect the dots here. | ||
| Start in Georgia. | ||
| Let's go back to Georgia for a second. | ||
| Let's go to Georgia. | ||
| And you know, yesterday at that great, the show was unbelievable. | ||
| The live show, I had so much love in my heart for all the people that Cheered for me, that was so nice. | ||
| Your show was unbelievable. | ||
| The MAGA posse, the MAGA brain trust, so amazing to feel that energy in the room that I could absolutely feel even through the monitor. | ||
| You got a standing ovation. | ||
| You got a standing ovation. | ||
| That's why I decided we got to cut your time back. | ||
| It's too much. | ||
| I was only getting, I was only getting fired up. | ||
| I was like, whoa, what happened here? | ||
| But you know, I know how it is. | ||
| You don't want to get upstaged. | ||
| Captain Bannon already does that to you enough, so you don't want me to do it, too. | ||
| Here's the reality. | ||
| Here's the reality, okay? | ||
| Chad Fredericks, I disagree with him. | ||
| I think he's wrong. | ||
| This decision in Georgia was absolutely wrong, no doubt about it. | ||
| The judge was good until July, then he slow-walked, and then I think, and I've already given some, let's put it this way, advice, guidance to folks on the ground. | ||
| I think we need a freedom of information request about any communication between Raffensperger and this judge. | ||
| Or Raffensperger's office and this judge's chambers in Georgia. | ||
| But here's what's interesting. | ||
| The dismissal was without prejudice, which allows for a potential refile in front of the same judge, as well as an appeal. | ||
| And sometimes, as an attorney, I'll tell you, you could do both. | ||
| You could appeal while also going back to the same judge, and if the judge does the right thing, then the appeal becomes moot. | ||
| So what am I saying? | ||
| What I'm saying is that the legal process in Georgia is absolutely not over. | ||
| And to tell the MAGA Posse, the MAGA Brain Trust, to not let down, to not let up. | ||
| Just like in Arizona, we said there's going to be good days and there's going to be bad days. | ||
| And was yesterday a good day? | ||
| Absolutely not. | ||
| Was it a bad day? | ||
| It was. | ||
| But was it catastrophic in Georgia? | ||
| It was not. | ||
| If anything, the plaintiffs, and it's not just one plaintiff, mind you, the plaintiffs in Georgia are more fired up today than they were two days ago. | ||
| I've been getting phone calls all day long. | ||
| on strategy from attorneys and from the plaintiffs themselves. | ||
| So Georgia's going to continue this legal process, the lawsuit's going to continue, and I do believe that in the end we are going to see those 140,000 ballots unsealed in Fulton County. | ||
| That's step one. | ||
| Step two, remember, the special session in Georgia starts on November 3rd. | ||
| So to all of you patriots, just like you did, hey, and let's be honest, call it like it is, just like you did with Jay Corman. | ||
| You MAGA Patriots came in hot, and now Jake Corman and Chris Dush are doing the right thing in Pennsylvania. | ||
| I know some people are, you know, a little questioning of it, and they're hesitant to give credit, and that's fine. | ||
| We only want results. | ||
| But we're farther along in Pennsylvania today than we were two months ago. | ||
| And now we need that same kind of heat. | ||
| Always color within the lines, but color boldly. | ||
| We need that heat on the special session in Georgia. | ||
| The special session has got to include a full audit and canvas of every single county in Georgia. | ||
| That is vital. | ||
| Special session begins on November 3rd. | ||
| So how would you recommend doing that? | ||
| We've got a couple of minutes here, I want to walk through that because Kemp understands, if he allows, we're going to put up all the numbers for Kemp and all this, but Kemp understands if they have a full forensic audit, he's done. | ||
| He's just done. | ||
| The whole apparatus down there. | ||
| Raffensperger, that's why they're fighting. | ||
| That's why Raffensperger put his hand on the scale with the state judge. | ||
| These guys will fight to the death. | ||
| That's the hill they'll die on for the simple reason that it'll expose... And now we've got the same thing. | ||
| So how do you recommend, how do you recommend, what do you recommend has to happen to put pressure down in Georgia? | ||
| Because I think people say, hey, you're going to appeal the court. | ||
| I got that. | ||
| But that's a process that's going to take through 22, through 22. | ||
| And people are just going to say, we need, we need to get this rolling. | ||
| The way to do it is the plenary power resides in the state legislatures. | ||
| How is it going to happen in Georgia, Boris Epstein? | ||
| It's pretty simple. | ||
| The power under Article 2 of the Constitution lands and sits With the legislatures, the state legislatures. | ||
| So, to all of you constituents, and let's put the numbers up, every single state senator, every single state senator, every single state legislator, call your senators, call your legislators, write them emails, and tell them, if you do not take this opportunity during this special session to mandate a full audit and full canvas, turn in your retirement papers. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Because your next job is not going to be in the state legislature, in the state senate. | ||
| It's going to be anywhere else. | ||
| And I've said this before about Pennsylvania. | ||
| You can go be lawyers, you can go be servers at restaurants, you can do whatever you want, but you will be out of politics. | ||
| And that is what the MAGA policy is trying to make loud and clear. | ||
| Okay, what's happening in Arizona? | ||
| I've got about a minute in that because I've got to ask you about Eric Greitens. | ||
| What's happening out there? | ||
| You're camped out in Arizona until the decertification process starts. | ||
| When's it starting? | ||
| Same thing, we need a special session. | ||
| And we cannot let up. | ||
| We need to let every single state senator under Karen Fann was the state senate president, and state representative here under Rusty Bowers know that their careers are over if they don't call for that special session. | ||
| And, A.G. | ||
| Bronovich, it's already been a couple of weeks, okay? | ||
| Sure, the letter, the preservation letter was nice, but we need action, we need indictments, and we need them now. | ||
| And I'm hearing a major name is coming here, a major name coming here on Saturday the 23rd, Maybe another very, very, very major name shortly thereafter. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Okay, we'll get to more details of that tomorrow and over the weekend. | ||
| I want to turn now to Eric Greitens. | ||
| Eric Greitens had the courage to step up in this race. | ||
| It's spreading because Jan Morgan, yesterday in the rally in Richmond, she's running in Arizona. | ||
| She followed Greitens and said, hey, if I win the nomination, if I'm elected, when I'm elected, I will not vote for Mitch McConnell. | ||
| Tell me how that's working out for Greitens in Missouri. | ||
| It's working out great. | ||
| And this is the litmus test. | ||
| A poll just came out, done by Tony Fabrizio, President Trump's pollster, which showed that, A, Eric Greitens up double on the next guy behind him, I think some guy named Eric Schmid or something, I think he's an attorney general in Missouri, nice enough guy, but you know, bless his heart, should drop out of the race. | ||
| So, Eric Greitens, without people learning of his pledge to not vote for McConnell, is up 36 to 17. | ||
| When people learn of his pledge, that goes to 34 to 14. | ||
| He's up by 30. | ||
| And there's a direct correlation, direct correlation, with Eric Greitens blowing away the field in Missouri and him standing tall against Mitch McConnell. | ||
| Mitch McConnell's political career is over. | ||
| Eric Greitens is proof. | ||
| And when Eric Greitens comes to the Senate, Eric Greitens is going to be a major, major, major player and, of course, a name to watch for 28 and 32. | ||

Joe is a major political figure. | |
| I just want to make sure, it's 36-17, before people know about the pledge, it's 44-14, not 34. | ||
| 44-14, okay. | ||
| 4414 not 3444. So it's 3630 point 36 to 17 before when people know it it's 44 Okay. | ||

| We'll get her on tomorrow. | ||
| I want to go to Budapest, our international editor, Ben Harnwell. | ||
| Ben, Tucker Carlson got to go to Budapest during the summer, did a great thing, a whole series for a week on Victor Orban and his social policies. | ||
| We're slaving away here in the War Room. | ||
| You're our international editor. | ||
| You're in Budapest. | ||
| Give us a couple of minutes on exactly what's Orban up to, and why is Soros and everybody trying to destroy him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're trying to destroy him, Steve, because he's successful. | |
| Two and a half years ago, the Hungarian government introduced its Family Protection Action Plan, which promised 4.8% of its GDP towards strengthening family and the fertility rate here in Hungary. | ||
| Two and a half years ago. | ||
| And that has manifested an increase of the Hungarian population in 10 years from 1.3 to 1.5 percent, which is a phenomenal growth. | ||
| And of course, here in Hungary, whilst many European countries can boast a higher fertility rate than that, significantly here in Hungary, famously, this population growth is being driven by Hungarians and is not immigrant led. | ||
| So that's a great result for Viktor Orban and his family's minister, Katalin Novak. | ||
| He's at war with Soros every day. | ||
| Both the Soros-backed media, the Soros-backed institutions, I think the Central European University. | ||
| Why is Soros focused on taking down Viktor Orban? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because Viktor Orban is successful. | |
| Viktor Orban is a patriot, a sovereignist, or in English, is also called a nationalist and Soros is a globalist, one of the leading exponents of globalism with billions of dollars at his disposal. And Viktor Orban is basically here in Europe almost single-handedly trying to show the world that policies focused on promoting | ||
| the citizens of his own country can work and put into practice. | ||
| And globalism, internationalism, call it what you will, don't produce the same effects or the same results. | ||
| In your assessment, before I let you go, because I know it's freezing over there, before I let you go, who's winning? | ||
| Is Orban actually winning here? | ||
| Is he going to be able to continue on? | ||
| Soros and the globalists have it and party of Davos have him surrounded. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To use that term which you famously coined, the party of Davos, yeah I mean it is doing very well internationally but here in Hungary all that is winning. | |
| Nothing persuades people more than the visible success of policies competently executed. | ||
| that 4.8% statistic a few moments ago, Steve, can I put that into perspective, right? 4.8% of GDP towards pro-family growth. The French, right, in contrast, spent 2.1% of their GDP on national defence. And if you think that providing the next generation policies towards strengthening the family and providing the next generation | ||
| are an element of national security, as I think many people certainly do think, then you can compare and contrast the amount of money which is being invested here in Hungary and which is working and producing fruit to the exorbitant socialism which is out of control in the rest of Europe, which aren't producing results. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So yes, Victor Orban is succeeding here in Hungary because his policies aren't working. | |
| Perfect. | ||
| Ben, real quickly, how do people follow you on social media? | ||
| Great report. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ben underscore Harnwell. | |
| Ben Harnwell, thank you very much for joining us in the War Room. | ||
| Okay, our international editor. | ||
| He's been going around to different capitals here in the next couple weeks and giving reports. | ||
| Remember, the reason they're after Orban? | ||
| Orban's policies are working and the people of Hungary back him. | ||
| That's why they got to take him down. | ||
| That's why they got to destroy him. | ||
| Sound like somebody else you know? | ||
| Like Donald J. Trump? | ||
| Okay, I want to bring in now Royce White, who's been on fire recently. | ||
| So Royce, I want to tee this up. | ||
| You had these NBA players that came forward because they're young, healthy athletes that have also had the CCP virus, so they have natural immunity. | ||
| They've all made these kind of very compelling arguments on global television about natural immunity and therapeutics and their immune system and all that versus getting the vaccine. | ||
| And they've actually become popular heroes to much of the country, but absolute demons to the medical establishment and to the government. | ||
| And now Stephen A. Smith, obviously one of the most prominent and well-respected commentators in all sports and ESPN have gone after. | ||
| One of these players, and you've jumped in here and really taken on Stephen A. Smith. | ||
| I want to get the article you put in your substack up everywhere, because you've taken on Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. | ||
| You've really taken on the system here, but you singled out Stephen A. Smith today. | ||
| What's your beef with Stephen A. Smith over at ESPN? | ||
| Looks like we... Yeah, let's get you back up, Royce. | ||
| Okay, looks like we dropped Royce White. | ||
| We're going to try to reboot him. | ||
| Maybe we have him call in by phone if we can't get that. | ||
| Do we have Devin? | ||
| Can we get our ape up in the interim? | ||
| I want to make sure we use as much time as possible. | ||
| Okay, can we get Devin up? | ||
| Let's bring Devin in here. | ||
| Okay, well, I'll tell you what. | ||
| We had a technical problem, but I dare not say where it came from. | ||
| It might hurt some feelings. | ||
| So, as we do these shows, remember, when you're doing this Wi-Fi, it's quite hard to bring anything from Budapest to Royce White to Devin, who's the ape. | ||
| Here's where we are today, is that I want to go back to the court-martial for a second. | ||
| You've had some court-martial of Colonel Scheller. | ||
| Colonel Scheller actually came out during the heat of all this in Afghanistan, and he questioned authority. | ||
| He questioned, particularly, authority, hiding behind the auspices of authority, right? | ||
| Behind the auspices of authority. | ||
| And in doing so, he was singled out. | ||
| He was singled out by the chain of command to say, hey, look, you had every option in the world to take it through the chain of command. | ||
| You did not. | ||
| And for that, they came down as hard as you possibly can on him. | ||
| In fact, he actually offered to resign and said, we're not going to let you resign. | ||
| We're going to try you first. | ||
| We're going to court-martial you first. | ||
| And this is where Bernie Kerrick and Senior Chief Petty Officer Gallagher and Andrea Gallagher, the people of Pipers, came in to kind of have his back. | ||
| And so he went to trial today to this court-martial. | ||
| And in the court-martial, in the court-martial, he actually pleaded guilty. | ||
| I think there were two main charges and some sub-charges. | ||
| I think he came up to six totally. | ||
| But two of the charges, the conduct unbecoming and the conduct unbecoming and dereliction of duty. | ||
| Although those are misdemeanors, obviously for someone with the pride of service and the pride of uniform that Colonel Scheller has, it's a big deal for him to plead guilty to that. | ||
| Now they're arguing in the phase of dissentence. | ||
| And what his lawyers are arguing for is a letter of reprimand. | ||
| Lever of reprimand, he's still going to, I think he's still moving to retire from the service and move on with his life. | ||
| Remember, he's given up 18 years, I think 18 and a half years, and what Andrea Gallagher said, when you have people like Senior Chief Petty Officer Gallagher, and you have people like Colonel Scheller, that have dedicated their lives to defense of the country. | ||
| They fought on foreign battlefields for much of their service career. | ||
| These are the type of guys that make 8, 9, 10, 12 deployments. | ||
| I remember when Captain Bannon took over one of her units, I think it was in Fort Lee, Virginia. | ||
| She had, I don't know, I think she had 20 non-commissioned officers and the vast majority of these had done eight, nine, ten combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. | ||
| So it's just been absolutely, absolutely incredible. | ||
| Okay, we got Royce White. | ||
| We figured out with Royce White. | ||
| Royce, we got you back up here. | ||
| I want to pivot off Senior Colonel Scheller for a second. | ||
| Go back. | ||
| Stephen A. Smith. | ||
| About the vaccine mandates, what's happening in the NBA, these brave players coming forward. | ||
| Stephen A. Smith has had a very strong opinion of what ought to happen to these players, and you came in hot. | ||
| So tell us what's going on. | ||
| Well, I'll say it. | ||
| I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Steve. | ||
| People cannot underestimate the significance of the sports world in this bigger fight, in this bigger agenda. | ||
| The sports world is the watering hole. | ||
| For a global corporate community, for this corporatocracy. | ||
| And Stephen A. Smith is one of the primary voices that they've subsidized and sanctioned and really propped up as one of the most competent voices around sports issues. | ||
| And he's always taken that and gone after the players. | ||
| Recently, Kyrie Irving had been suspended by the Nets, and word had gotten out that he had said that he wanted to be a voice for the voiceless on this vaccine mandate issue. | ||
| Stephen A. took that and used it as the headline for a segment. | ||
| And in this segment, he kind of sarcastically referred to the voiceless as though they were some, you know, abstract conspiracy in Kyrie's head. | ||
| And it really showed that he either doesn't realize that there very well is a voiceless in this vaccine mandate matter, or he doesn't see that there's any set of circumstances that would ever warrant Kyrie Irving compromising what he has to fight for those people. | ||
| So is that the central beef you've got with Stephen A. Smith? | ||
| Look, Stephen A. Smith is obviously a very edgy commentator. | ||
| That's why he's probably the most prominent personality on all of ESPN. | ||
| Is that your central problem, that he singled that out, that comment, a voice for the voices? | ||
| Or do you think he's going after Kyrie of not being a team player and not worrying about the team and not thinking about the team, but thinking about his own freedom and his own medical autonomy? | ||
| I think these people have no morals. | ||
| I think these people have strayed the path. | ||
| I think these people are radically atheists. | ||
| They have no understanding of the significance of self-sacrifice. | ||
| And I think this entire attack on Kyrie Irving is proof positive of that. | ||
| What Kyrie Irving is doing is saying that there are bigger issues than the game. | ||
| And here's what the sports industry has the luxury of. | ||
| They are oftentimes able to characterize these athletes or many of us athletes as being entitled and selfish. | ||
| Well, here you have an issue where a lot of people in America feel a similar way. | ||
| And now they're starting to see the duplicity and the corruption that has always been there for us athletes. | ||
| OK, and there's this there's this assumption or this this acceptance that that privacy is gone and that your Your ability to play a game and to make money, a lot of money playing that game, surrenders that privacy. | ||
| But we can't allow that to be the culture. | ||
| That seeds the way for every other working class American in this country. | ||
| And I know the income is significantly different, which makes the lifestyle different. | ||
| But the working man is the working man. | ||
| And that's what I try and convey to Stephen A. Smith in this article. | ||
| But even bigger than that, he is the black bourgeoisie. | ||
| He is the grandstanding ineffectual black voice that they prop up as being a sound, a sound, logical mind around issues that are extra correct, that are extra sport that are outside of the sports realm. He's a glorified gossip girl. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Royce, I want to hold that. | |
| I want to bring you back after the break because I want to ask you about Kyrie and what he's putting in line. | ||
| I don't think people quite totally understand how he is out there as a patriot and really an individual that's making a very profound argument about personal freedom in a moment. | ||
| And we're going to bring back Royce White in the War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Okay, I want to go back to one of the leading populist thinkers in our country, and that would be Royce White. | ||
| Royce, you just lit up Stephen A. Smith, one of the most prominent, if not the most prominent, sports commentator and pundit and analyst in the country. | ||
| But I want to go back to Kyrie Irving. | ||
| Aren't they going to bring the entire, and you know, you from personal experience, aren't they going to bring the entire weight of the apparatus down on Kyrie Irving? | ||
| Because they've got to, they've got to break him. | ||
| They've, they have to break him since he's been such a powerful voice here about the situation with the vaccines. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I think they're going to find them. | ||
| They're going to threaten them. | ||
| You know, they're going to eventually come to some type of negotiation about a buyout for his contract. | ||
| And then he'll never be able to play on another team. | ||
| Every team will label him as a distraction. | ||
| And, you know, they're going to do what they're doing to working class Americans all across the country. | ||
| Only in Kyrie's case, they're going to use their cronies in the mainstream media to drag his name through the mud and paint him as a conspiracy theorist along the way. | ||
| And that's why I wrote the letter to him, to let him know that we all don't feel that he's a conspiracy theorist and his intuition is right on this issue. | ||
| How can the country, we've got about a minute or so here, how can the country be in a situation where a young man who actually marshals evidence in his argument is about to be, they're going to try to humiliate him and try to drive him out of his profession that he's worked his entire life, all those hours of practice and practice and drill and get in shape. | ||
| And you've got guys like Fauci, you never hear a counter argument where they come at the level of detail that he did. | ||
| How can the country have gotten in that situation, sir? | ||
| Well, a lot of the country is just not, just not concerned enough with natural immunity, you know, with the Federal Reserve. | ||
| I saw a stat today that said 40% of all the money, America's U.S. | ||
| dollars in the world were put in the last 12 months. | ||
| They're not concerned about the Uyghurs. | ||
| We're just, a lot of us are just not concerned enough about these issues. | ||
| And I think that in this kind of situation, what people really have to understand is that a lot of the voices are not on the other side of this political divide. | ||
| They're not all Trump supporters. | ||
| There are plenty of Democrats Who felt forced to get the shot in order to maintain their livelihood and survive, and that really didn't want to. | ||
| And although we may agree politically, I feel bad for those people as well, and I think Kyrie is speaking out for them as well. | ||
| Royce, how do people get to your writings? | ||
| Because you're on fire right now. | ||
| We put them up in the chat rooms, we put them all on the site, but how do people get directly to you? | ||
| How are they following you on social media? | ||
| You can follow me on Gitter and also, you know, check out my sub stack. | ||
| The letter to Stephen A. Smith along with Kyrie Irving and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is up there now. | ||
| You know, it's completely free and put your email in. | ||
| I love for people to be able to read the material. | ||
| By the way, if you want to see the really the cutting edge of populist thinking, go to Royce White's site. | ||
| Royce, thank you very much for joining us here in the War Room. | ||
| want to bring in now, Devin, one of the apes. I haven't had a member of the ape army on for a while. | ||
| Devin, you're involved, I guess, with GME stock more than AMC. Can you tell us, you've got these meme stocks. What's the story of GME? I read about it every day, how it's transforming the company. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You guys have bought and held. Tell us about GME. So GameStop, yeah, one of the cool things that's going on right now is they're looking at working with loop ring. I don't know if you've heard of NFTs, but basically kind of bypassing, hopefully, a lot of this goofiness that's going on in the traditional, the way that stocks are being, the orders are | |
| being placed. | ||
| So there's something there that is really interesting. | ||
| And as you're saying, some of the things that have come to pass this year that are really exciting, the distribution network in this country, We've got a bit of a distribution crisis. | ||
| So Devin, we only got a, yes, you got a supply chain crisis, everything like that, but the Wall Street guys all say that you guys, not just a bunch of kooks, that you're disruptive, that you've hurt the stock market, that you tout these fantasies about these meme stocks that are not based in reality, and you're just a bunch of day traders, run wild, that you're breaking the system. | ||
| What say you, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I don't necessarily think that that's the truth. | |
| I think that that's a bit of a lie. | ||
| The fact that we're able to legally go long in our positions at this point in time after watching months and months of this playthrough, it just goes to show how badly they've positioned themselves in a bad bet. | ||
| And to me, it's just propaganda. | ||
| I try to look at companies that look like they're sound with good cash flow and great investments and the Future for GameStop is quite remarkable. | ||
| The total addressable market going forward with these games and worldwide being able to distribute them with similar deliveries such as what Amazon's got going, I just think it's pretty impressive. | ||
| Let me ask you, did you ever think in this country that for working class people to buy stocks and hold them of American companies going long in the in the jargon of Wall Street, you would ever be demonized by people that work on Wall Street and the financial press for a living, that you would be demonized as the bad guys because you bought American companies and held the stock? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, yeah, that's what really boggles my mind, because, you know, with this whole Robin Hood thing that went down in January, You know, maybe they thought that they'd be able to make a couple quick bucks on the little guy. | |
| And, you know, all it's really done. | ||
| I don't think they considered this, but more and more people every day have been able to strengthen their financial astuteness, so to speak, and are starting to be able to call these guys out for what they've done in the markets. | ||
| And so I think we're the ones with the upper hand. | ||
| No, I tell you, this is exactly why they hate you guys, because you're learning actually about the markets, you're learning actually how to trade, and you're calling them out for their corruption, their incompetence, and their crookedness. | ||
| How do people follow you? | ||
| How do people follow you to make sure that they know what you're doing on a daily basis? | ||
|
unidentified

So I've got the getter set up, Devin Allen, just Devin, A-L-L-E-N, or Devin Chase Allen on Twitter. | |
| My name is technically a sentence, so not too hard, Devin Chase Allen. | ||
| I tell you, we're really glad to have the H-Star coming back on here. | ||
| We're going to have a regular basis. | ||
| Anybody that's sitting there trying to teach people about their financial illiteracy, because as soon as people understand markets, they want to become involved in capitalism. | ||
| So Devin, you guys are doing the Lord's work. | ||
| I know they're not going to break you, but definitely don't let them discourage you. | ||
