The US 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.
anthony fauci
Because if you don't, then the worst happens.

War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Hey!

Woo!
Hey!
Let's get killer!
Let's go!
Let's get killer!
steve bannon
Okay, it is Friday, the 15th of October, the year of our Lord, 2020.
You're watching there in the footage.
We're going to keep it up on the screen through good offices of Real America's Voice.
That is a protest that actually got out of hand.
They got inside the Department of Interior today in Washington, D.C.
These are activists who are very concerned, very upset about these massive spending bills not going through.
And this is, I'm telling everybody that, hey, you're going to see a lot more of this.
They're just not going to sit there and lay down about these massive, massive transformation of the American economy that is not going to go through.
It's going to be stopped by conservatives.
It's going to be stopped by the MAGA movement.
So these historic, massive battles are going to take place over the next 60 days, between now and the end of the year, mid-December, about stopping the transformation of the American That's kind of the opening salvo you're going to see.
You're going to see many more things like that, a number of arrests today made as people got inside the Department of Interior.
I want to go to bring in Jim Hoft from Gateway Pundit.
Jim, we want to talk in a second about how big, how important Gateway Pundit's got.
But first of all, what's your, what's your, give us your observations as we're seeing the direct action that the progressive left is going to start taking You know, across a host of matters.
It's all this, the Build Back Better 3.5 tree, and it's also the infrastructure bill, but it's going to be with voting rights, all of it.
Everything Biden's put his hand to has kind of collapsed.
The economy, his polling, he has no political capital.
All these bills are kind of stopped in Congress.
They're at each other's throats, but they're out there trying to terrorize Kyrsten Sinema, the senator from Arizona, and now you're seeing activity today.
What's your thoughts and observations on this?
jim hoft
So Steve, there was also 55 people arrested.
So this escalated during the day.
It was also yesterday.
It's this energy group, anti-energy group that's going on for five days in Washington, D.C.
One officer was arrested, and the Interior Department released a statement I'd like to read.
It says, centering the voices of lawful protesters is and will be important foundation of our democracy.
So this is a statement they released.
When these people bust in the building, attack cops, One goes to the hospital.
All right.
Now, I'm surprised Liz Cheney isn't out speaking about this, because isn't this an insurrection?
Isn't this what happens when people bust into a government facility during business hours?
And just the striking difference of what we're seeing here in this violent protest compared to what we saw on January 6th is just unbelievable.
steve bannon
Well, I want everybody to understand.
Go back to the summer of 2020.
You're going to see a lot more of this.
They are just not going to sit there.
Understand they really don't.
They only got a couple seat majority in the House.
They're dead even in the Senate.
Biden has no political capital.
He's imploding now to the 20s and 30s among independents.
The economy's a disaster.
Shelves are empty.
You can't order a taco at a Taco Bell.
You can't get the food on a menu in the restaurant.
You got inflation out of control.
Everything they touch is a debacle, from the invasion on the southern border, all of it.
But they're going to try to jam through in the remaining days of 2021 this radical transformation of the American economy.
I mean, it's radical.
And you're going to see more direct action like this.
Do you agree, Jim Hoft?
unidentified
Oh absolutely.
These people are going to lose their minds.
jim hoft
And we're also going to see the media at the same time ignore how violent they are.
So that's what we have ahead of us for the next couple months.
steve bannon
Jim, I want to go, let's put the chart up.
We're pressed for time, but I had, I saw this today, and I had to have, I had to have, I had to have you come on and talk about it.
Given the job, you and Andrew started off at the same time back over a decade ago as kind of bloggers.
And Gateway Pundit, I got to tell you, it's the first thing I look at, or first thing I get up in the morning.
It's an absolutely fantastic site.
Everybody's got to go there.
Put it on your must-reads every day.
But just the scale, you guys are just blowing up.
Just talk to us about the page views and how big you guys are now.
jim hoft
So this chart here is our yearly, our annual page views.
We've already broken our all time record this year in September.
We're over 700 million page views so far this year, shooting for a billion.
And thank you for your support here.
And thank you, of course, to the team at Gateway Pundit, including Christina Cassandra, my twin brother, Jordan, some other people that you've had on your show.
Yeah, it's been great.
I'm glad we're the voice that's out there and thank you for shining a light and then giving us some airtime.
steve bannon
No, look, Jim, whether it's the 3 November movement, 6 January, Joe, your twin brother's analysis of China and the financial crisis in China, whether it's military, Afghanistan, inside baseball.
I mean, you've got people all over the place.
It's grown.
How many reporters, how many actually contributors and reporters do you have today?
unidentified
Well, you know, for an outfit like ours, you would think we'd have hundreds, right, Steve?
jim hoft
With the amount of content we put out and the amount of traffic we get. We have a very small outfit about seven to eight full-time and then a lot of contributing reporters who you know feed us content as they can. So it's a pretty small operation but we put out a lot we get a lot of traffic.
steve bannon
Started as one's man vision out there in St. Louis.
Louis, Missouri, so it's just fantastic.
I want to congratulate you.
By the way, the whole War Room Posse, I want to get the gateway pun.
I know all you guys read it anyway, but push it out to your friends.
The objective is 1 billion page views for 2021.
We've got a couple hundred million more to go, but let's do it.
Jim, thank you so much for joining us here in the War Room.
unidentified
Thanks, Steve.
Really appreciate it.
steve bannon
Jim Hoff, one of the real warriors out there.
Make sure everybody goes to Gateway Pundit.
I want to bring in our international editor now, happens to be in Vienna, Austria.
The reason I'm bringing him in is an absolute tragedy today.
Thatcherite, a member of parliament, a Tory member of parliament, a conservative and a Brexiteer.
One of us, a Brexiteer, that always fought for an independent United Kingdom, murdered today in a church during a constituency meeting.
Stabbed multiple times.
I think he died on the scene.
He was rushed to the hospital.
I believe he died on the scene.
He was Sir David Emmes and he was the Sky News reporting the assailant, I think a 25 year old of Somalian descent.
I want to bring in now Ben Harnwell who knew him.
Ben, joining us from Vienna.
Thank you very much.
Ben, tell us what happened today and tell us about the man.
unidentified
It's a tragedy, Steve.
Sir David was a kind, generous, Sweet guy.
For Thatcherite, he was the very essence of amiability, loved by everybody.
He founded the House of Commons All-Party Parliamentary Group on the Holy See, and I really knew him in that capacity.
He was instrumental in bringing over Pope Benedict to the UK in 2010.
ben harnwell
He was a man adored by all who knew him, and this is a sick tragedy that this happened and was allowed to happen.
unidentified
And I think people want to know now how it was able that someone can just walk in, it's not the first time this has happened in the UK, and stab a sitting Member of Parliament.
steve bannon
I also want to say he was one of the leaders, besides being a Brexiteer, he was one of the leaders in the pro-life movement in the United Kingdom.
Is that correct, Ben?
unidentified
Yeah, he was absolutely solid.
He will be a real loss to the values that we have been fighting for for decades.
He's pro-life, as you say, pro-family, anti-euthanasia.
He was a very strong Catholic MP and he was very good at what he did.
steve bannon
Ben, with the Times of London, the Financial Times, BBC, all the Murdoch papers, why is it only Sky News?
And you've got to read 10 paragraphs down the story before they say the 25-year-old assailant who murdered him with multiple stab wounds in front of people in broad daylight, I think it was around noon UK time, was of Somalian descent.
Why is that being covered up?
Why is that being buried?
unidentified
Well, because the mainstream media in the UK, Steve, they hesitate and avoid saying anything that can create a negative kickback.
So this is part of the suppression of the truth.
As if, as if in the UK people will be rioting tonight and throwing Molotov cocktails.
It's not going to happen.
And yet our mainstream news, the legacy press, continues to misinform the British public.
The photo that you see now is one that I took when Sir David visited the Italian Parliament and had meetings with fellow-minded Italian MPs and Senators.
He was a great guy, a very, very capable guy.
steve bannon
Yeah, everything we've heard is just great, and we know he's a Brexiteer.
He really fought as pro-life as he was, as Catholic, as obviously pro-the Vatican, pro-Pope.
He was a Brexiteer, wanted an independent United Kingdom out of the EU.
Ben, thank you so much.
Ben, what is your social media?
Can you tell us, people, how they can follow you?
unidentified
For sure, Ben.
It's Twitter at Ben underscore Hanwell.
steve bannon
I know eventually we're going to get you on Getter.
I'll have to talk to certain personnel in here about that.
But we'll definitely get you booted up on Getter.
Ben Harnwell, thank you very much.
Appreciate your report from Vienna tonight.
A terrible tragedy.
That's a terrible tragedy.
And to just have somebody butchered in front of their constituents, stabbed multiple times, and died on the scene.
unidentified
Sir David, really so highly thought of.
steve bannon
So highly thought of.
Just a great, great guy.
Great individual.
Okay, I want to go down to Doug Wardler.
We've wanted to have Doug on for a while.
I think you sent the letter a while ago.
You're running for the Attorney General in Minnesota, and you sent this letter, I think, a week ago.
It's about your opponent, the existing Attorney General.
What is the cause of this lawlessness in Minnesota, and particularly in Minneapolis?
What's the cause of it?
What did you send the existing AG, and what are you going to do about it if you win the Republican primary and then take him on and beat him and become the Well, thanks for having me on, Steve.
unidentified
Yes, violent crime is absolutely out of control in Minneapolis and St.
Paul.
You know, there's really a general insurrection going on in our state against law and order, and that really is the problem.
And Keith Ellison He is at the root of this.
He is one of the causes of this.
Just consider that last weekend there was a shootout in a very popular St.
Paul bar in downtown St.
Paul, and a 27-year-old woman was killed in the crossfire, and 14 others were injured.
And then just last night in Minneapolis, in the span of 45 minutes, there were three separate shootings, and at least six people were injured.
So it is absolute chaos.
In our cities here in Minnesota, and this is happening in Democratic-controlled cities across the United States.
So we have to restore law and order, and Keith Ellis isn't doing anything about it.
steve bannon
Is this part of the defund the police problem?
And can an attorney general really step in?
Are we seeing the manifestation of the defund the police, that you see these shootings and they're out of control, and the police don't show up because they're understaffed, under-resourced?
unidentified
That's exactly right.
You know, Keith Ellison, in fact, first of all, the Attorney General can step in and should step in and should hire more prosecutors, send them out, take over prosecutions of folks that are committing violent crimes, looting and rioting.
But instead, Keith Ellison, he's been focusing on prosecuting the police and just about nothing else.
And now he's come out in favor of a proposal in Minneapolis that would actually dismantle the entire police department.
dismantle the entire police department and replace it with the Department of Public Safety that would take a comprehensive public health approach to policing or to public safety and no one really knows what that means. It's an absolutely insane proposal yet Keith Ellison is supporting it. He's using the bully pulpit of AG's office to push this nonsense that will eliminate police in Minneapolis largely. Hold on, hang on.
steve bannon
We're going to hold you over through the break and maybe I'll just summarize this and bring you back.
You're saying the Attorney General, given the way crime's out of control in Minneapolis, you're saying the Attorney General's putting forward a program to do away with the police and put forward a Department of Public Safety that would have a lot more of a social worker aspect to it instead of just basic law and order.
I tell you, we'll return.
We're going to hold Doug Wardlow Over!
Through the break we have Boris Epstein out in Arizona with a report.
We've got reports from Northern Virginia about the critical race theory, the impact they're going to have on the governor's race, all of it.
it. We're going to return to Minnesota with Doug Wardlow about Law & Order next in The War Room.
unidentified
The War Room, pandemic, with Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room Pandemic.
Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, Doug Wardlow is running against one of the most radical attorney generals in the country out in Minnesota.
It's a national campaign because his opponent has a national profile.
Doug, real quickly, go back through the proposal, the propositions on the ballot that he's pushing.
What about the police department?
Are they going to do away with it?
unidentified
Yeah, so in Minneapolis there's a ballot measure that Keith Ellison is pushing and advocating for that would eliminate the police department and replace it with a new Department of Public Safety for Minneapolis, and this department would only use police officers if necessary.
So fewer police officers, more social workers, and take a comprehensive public health approach to public safety.
No one knows what that means, but it will mean more emboldened criminals, more crime, and of course remember that the vast majority of the victims of violent crime that's on the rise in Minneapolis and St.
Paul and across the country, they are minorities.
So this is terrible.
steve bannon
Isn't this a sort of racism?
I mean, aren't the vast majority, particularly the violent crimes, aren't they minorities in cities like Minneapolis?
Aren't they the ones that are being preyed upon by the criminal class?
unidentified
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
The vast majority of the people that are being preyed upon by the violent criminals are minorities, and Keith Ellison is doing nothing to protect them.
Absolutely nothing.
It is terrible.
It is absolutely terrible, and we need to reject Keith Ellison.
I think so many Americans will reject Keith Ellison and his war on the police.
steve bannon
Doug, how do people find out more about you, how they find out more about your campaign, and how they follow you on social media?
unidentified
So, on social media, you can go to Twitter, Doug underscore Wardlow.
On Getter, it's Doug Wardlow, and the website is DougWardlowAG.com.
steve bannon
Okay, this is a race of national importance.
Keith Ellison, obviously one of the most radical attorney generals in the country.
Doug, thank you very much for joining us here in the War Room.
I want to bring in Boris Epstein.
Boris is out in Arizona.
Boris, I know there's other things you want to update us on 3 November, but I've got to ask you about the politics.
You've had a complete collapse of the American economy.
You've got empty store shelves now.
They've got videos that are trending everywhere.
Whether it's Getter, Twitter, everywhere.
And it's just empty store shelves.
I mean, it does not look like the United States of America.
Now we know they're going to be empty store shelves for Halloween.
Christmas is a disaster.
And you've got the Secretary of Transportation.
Turns out he's been on two or three months paid leave.
What's the optics of that, sir?
boris epshteyn
Steve, it's great to be with you.
It's an honor to be here from the great, beautiful state of Arizona.
We have a surprise special guest.
Who'll be on here right after me, a true American hero.
But here's what I'll tell you.
And I tweeted this earlier, and I put it on Getter, and I'm coming in super hot on this.
You have an American economy that's in disarray.
Supply chains, people can't get paper towels here in Arizona.
The supply chains are down.
You've got a complete disaster at the border, and you better believe transportation is vitally involved.
And our Secretary of Transportation, The failed mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg, okay?
This guy's on paternity leave!
He's on paternity leave.
Okay, him and Chaston had the, I think what they had, the twins, and you know, whatever.
Okay?
He's on paternity leave.
He is the Secretary of Transportation.
Could you imagine if the Secretary of Transportation of our adversaries, China, Russia, Iran, or even our allies, if the Secretary of Transportation of Israel was just like, hey guys, you know what?
I know you guys got this whole thing going on with the Middle East, Iran, and you got COVID.
I'm the Secretary of Transportation.
I'm going on a paternity leave.
This is not a social comment, okay?
For those of you, you know, you've got media matters and whatever you're gonna say, oh, Boris Epstein.
This has nothing to do with anybody's sexual orientation.
unidentified
You are the Secretary of Transportation!
boris epshteyn
Go to your office, go to work, and get off paternity leave.
You owe it to the American people.
We employ you, Pete Buttigieg.
We employ you.
And there's a bigger point here, Steve.
There's a bigger point here.
Ten seconds.
The bigger point is, the supposed CEO, right?
This guy is just a cabinet member.
The CEO is Joe Biden.
Feckless, pathetic, terrible Joe Biden.
There's no idea who it is.
We do not have a functioning administration right now.
Because that is what happens when you have a CEO who's out to lunch.
You got Buttigieg, who's just literally not showing up to work.
You've got the rest of the cabinet.
Granholm is like, gallivanting in the Ukraine.
She's the Secretary of Energy.
We do not have a functioning administration.
Look at what Mayorkas is doing at the DHS.
And this is why.
This is a microcosm.
It all connects.
A microcosm of why the American people are putting the approval rating of feckless Biden and his pathetic team down to the 20s and going down into the 10s.
steve bannon
No, I think this is what independents are seeing.
Here's what I don't understand.
We have talked about the supply chain problem since the first episode of War and Pandemic in January of 2020.
One of the key things about this pandemic was affecting the supply chain.
President Trump understood that.
Understood it, right?
With Peter Navarro, they worked on this, but understanding that, understanding about the vaccine mandates, what they're doing, how that's going to affect the logistics just here in the United States when things get here, or even interstate, how could a guy where the supply chains have been a problem and an issue and a concern since the spring, who takes off Two or three months when you're one of the most senior executives and the most senior in the United States government in this.
I mean, who does that?
How do you try to do that, particularly a guy that's got presidential ambitions?
boris epshteyn
You know that Southwest Air debacle?
The FAA?
Guess where the FAA falls under?
Transportation.
Transportation.
Air travel.
Truck travel, interstate travel, interstate commerce, it's all transportation, and our Transportation Secretary, Howdy Doody, is out back at home on paternity leave!
unidentified
And again, honestly, listen, I don't even blame Pete Buttigieg!
boris epshteyn
He's so sad, and he's so immature, and he's so not ready for this moment, even with his, whatever, I guess he's got that fancy Harvard degree, I don't know, you should be kind of ashamed, Steve, I guess they're giving those out to anybody now, okay?
Buttigieg, he doesn't know any better.
But that's what happens when you put idiots like him, like Kamala Harris, like Mayor, that is what happens when you put nobodies in huge positions.
steve bannon
How's this showing up in the polling?
boris epshteyn
What's showing up in the polling is the economist today, the economist.
This is not Rasmussen, okay?
This is not But that's a brutal poll.
the gateway pundit and it's not war room this is the economist job i'm approval rating which is a new low he came in at well he wanted suppose a fifty two percent of today tells you got eighty one million votes and now he's down in the thirties with independence and falling that's what we're a we know if you didn't get anywhere close to eighty one million votes more information came out of arizona today proving that even further and be this is a but that's a brutal that's a brutal poll Brutal.
This is The Economist.
It's brutal.
There's literally, you know what, and I know I come on here, and I know I come hot, and I speak from the heart, but here's, and look at that.
Real clear politics.
Here's the reality.
Let me cool it down for just 10 seconds.
There's not one iota of good news for this administration.
Even Jimmy Carter had some good news because he was kind of taking on the Soviet Union.
steve bannon
Hold that graphic up.
Explain that graphic, Boris.
Explain this graphic right here from RealClearPolitics.
It's very important for the audience to see.
boris epshteyn
This is a graphic, so you know, if you took it as a stock, right?
So approve is above, disapprove is below.
This was a guy who was at, call it 56-36, okay?
And he's plummeted so bad, he's now upside down by almost 10 points.
That crossover right there, that X, is where your approve and disapprove are tied, and he's plummeted.
And by the way, look at the lines.
unidentified
Look at that last black line, and look at the last red line.
boris epshteyn
It's spiking.
This isn't flatlining.
It's spiking.
He's diving down, and the disapprove is back.
He's collapsing.
Hey, you know why?
I don't know, people.
Somebody said, we may have killed this administration in the crib.
But you know what?
steve bannon
I know Benny Thompson and little Jamie Raskin don't like that, but hey, guess what?
We killed the administration in the crib and we're proud of it.
Are there any martyrs on the show today?
All we did was explain to the American people exactly what's going on.
They made up their own mind.
Boris, can we bring in your special guest?
We're burning daylight here.
Can we turn to your special guest?
boris epshteyn
I'm going to give you 10 more seconds.
It's what you said.
It's all about the MAGA movement.
It's all about the MAGA posse, under the leadership of President Trump, and humbly somewhat of us.
But a lot of this is just Joe Biden and his pathetic team themselves.
We are just uncovering what they're doing and bringing it to light.
And with that, I want to bring right here on camera an American hero, my honor to have him here with me, the one and only former New York City Police Commissioner.
unidentified
Go ahead.
boris epshteyn
But it can happen.
steve bannon
Yeah, Bernie, we got to get you on.
Hey, Bernie, so tell us, give us an update on what happened in Camp Lejeune.
What's the update on Colonel Scheller?
bernard kerik
Well, the update is he's now it's going to be in the Secretary of the Navy's hands, whether he gets an honorable, a dishonorable, or an honorable or a general under honorable conditions.
And I don't think they're going to give him a dishonorable discharge because there would have to be a Board of Inquiry And I'm confident that the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs don't want to be a witness in that inquiry.
So, hopefully, the Secretary and the Navy gives him an honorable discharge that he deserves for his time in service, his perfect record up until this point.
And I think you have to go by the judge's findings.
The judge found he had an excellent record.
This guy is not a guy on a crime spree.
He's a guy in crisis and he's got some issues that he has to deal with, but bottom line is I think it was a victorious day yesterday for the defense, for Schiller.
A big shout out to the lawyers, his lawyers, and to Eddie and Andrea Gallagher on the pipeters.
steve bannon
Somebody's got to keep this guy in check, Steve.
By the way, let her rep a man and $5,000 for one month.
Just incredible.
But the United States is losing a great warrior.
So that's what's terrible.
Bernie, good work out there with Borsch.
You guys keep grinding in Arizona.
There's going to be a lot to report from you guys over the weekend.
bernard kerik
Somebody's got to keep this guy in check, Steve.
unidentified
That's why I'm here.
steve bannon
He's uncheckable.
That's what we sent you out there.
That is uncheckable.
Trust me.
I've seen that.
I've seen it before.
Uncheckable.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Short commercial break.
Talk to you guys tomorrow.
Okay.
Short commercial break.
We're going to come back.

I want to bring in now Todd Bensman.
Announcement today, Todd, that as you've been saying, the Biden administration is finally going to go and since the federal courts have said, hey, you just can't do away with Romania and Mexico, I think they announced today they're going to accept the policy by mid-November.
But it sounds like more kind of bait and switch.
Tell us exactly what's going on from your perspective, since you're the one that highlighted this to the American people.
What is going on down on the border with the Romanian-Mexico policy, which worked under President Trump?
What's up down with the Biden administration?
todd bensman
I think the Biden administration is secretly, especially the pragmatist within the administration, are secretly relieved that they can fall back on this US Supreme Court decision, where they just have to say, oh, we don't have a choice. We have to do this.
Because the political optics of Del Rio potentially could happen 10, 20 times over when the administration inevitably gets rid of Title 42, which is the pandemic pushback.
steve bannon
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Title 42 is the pandemic pushback.
Are you saying, when you say 10 or 20 Delrios, that was like Mogadishu on the border.
You're telling me, I think we had 10 or 15,000.
You're saying that we could actually have, you believe, 10 of those?
If the Biden administration didn't step up and really reassert themselves with the Trump policies?
Is that what you're saying?
todd bensman
When they remove Title 42, the pushback for mostly single adults, there are credible reports out there, they sound about right to me, that 350,000 people will suddenly flood in.
Well, That is terrible optics for the midterms.
And I think that there are pragmatists within the White House and the DHS and the administration that are saying, hey, we can use title, we can use MPP for this.
Uh, we can push people back under MPP and let the progressives think that we got rid of Title 42 at the same time.
Uh, so it's, uh, I think there's a dance that's going on, a conflict maybe between The progressives and the pragmatists inside the administration, where they saw that Del Rio was something god-awful terrible for their prospects.
I mean, look, those photos and video from that camp are going to be paraded around in county commissioner races.
I mean, this thing was really impactful and it's going to get used hardcore over the next year.
And they can't afford to see 10 of those things happen.
When they get rid of Title 42 or any time again, I mean there's already one developing in Yuma and I think that they were actually secretly happy about being able to put MPP in place.
Now the progressives are appalled over the use of MPP or anything that's got Trump on it.
But remember, the Biden White House put repatriation flights back on the table.
That was a play right out of the Trump playbook, sending Haitians all the way back to Port-au-Prince.
steve bannon
Because it was forced by this show and your reporting.
Ben Burquam, yourself, odd and blue, down in Mexico, on the border.
Your reporting was so vivid.
It's so real and understanding we had the sheriffs on all the Hispanic sheriffs from the the hardscrabble working-class counties of Hispanic Americans down the Rio Grande Valley that's what the Biden administration did it they were scared to death and by the way you caught them they said oh we're sending most back it turns out I think 12,000 of the of the 18,000 somehow got into the country, which you warned people about.
What about this NBC report? We started the month with 400,000.
What is your reporting telling you now on the border, particularly in Yuma and other places?
Are we seeing those type of surges? Have people gotten the word that the American people are enraged by this? What's going on right now? This is the halfway point through October.
todd bensman
Where do you think we stand? Nothing has changed. The family units are still pouring over the border to the tune of 50,000 a week.
Just like I said, the September numbers are going to be out any day.
We'll see that it's going to be again right around 200,000, not including the 50,000 gotaways that we know about.
It's probably twice that, maybe even more than that.
Nothing has changed.
Things might start to change with MPP.
However, They're talking about exemptions for certain categories and my suspicion is that the exemptions that they were going to put in play will be for these family units, the same ones that are causing the mass migration crisis.
They're going to have to run them through detention this time because the Supreme Court and the Fifth Circuit Court said you can't do what you're doing.
It's illegal.
By just releasing them with notices to report later on an honor system, you got to put them through a detention and removal proceedings under the law.
But there's a way to do that where under the Flores settlement, I don't want to get too, there's a way to do that where you can still put them through removals proceedings and let them go immediately into the interior.
So that might change a little bit.
steve bannon
Wow.
todd bensman
But I do believe that we will still have mass migration With family units and unaccompanied minors even if they do put MPP back in place.
steve bannon
The only way to stop this is to throw these bombs out in 2022 and make sure.
This is a humanitarian crisis and all they're doing is making more money for the human traffickers, which are the cartels.
It's absolutely sick.
It has caused nothing but pain to the people that are coming up from Latin America and Central America, particularly putting the burden unfair on the counties.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, Todd.
todd bensman
We should also mention that while Border Patrol is off doing Processing fentanyl smugglers are moving that drug in and huge amounts.
And I expect that probably, uh, when the numbers are finally in for what happened this year, we're going to have a huge swell of overdose deaths in this country from that drug and from others.
And, uh, you know, if the Biden administration thinks they have a problem, an optics problem with Del Rios, wait till that, wait till those numbers come in.
steve bannon
Every town is a border town, every county is a border county, and every state is a border state.
This is throughout the United States.
This is what will be allowed to happen, this invasion.
Todd, I know you've got a bunch of charts on your site and articles about all these paths through here from Asia, etc.
I want to make sure people all get access to that.
How do they get to your writings, how do they follow you on social media, and how do they get your book, the great book about the jihadists on the border?
todd bensman
Right, the book is America's Covert Border War, and it's all about how terrorists get through the Darien Gap, and they're on the way here in the mix.
And my social media is tbensman at Getter.
I just started that about a month ago.
I love it.
Going great there.
And I still have Twitter, bensmantodd.
steve bannon
By the way, what I love about your getter is that the engagement on your getter account is fantastic.
People are just thirsting for your knowledge and your information.
Todd, thank you so much for coming on The Word of the Day.
todd bensman
I really appreciate it.
Thank you.
steve bannon
Okay, we got a little, we're going to get to Tiffany next, a little technical problem.
I want to go to Joe Allen.
Joe, we finally get time.
The Federalist, the Federalist, have your piece up.
It was the lead piece this morning.
I want to take some time.
We got a few minutes here, and we'll play the, we have a cold open, but we'll get back to that.
I want to just start, go right into the, go right into your piece.
What's the title of it?
What was your proposed title to it?
Tell us about it and tell us how, I think, dangerous this conference was that you participated in in Madrid, Spain.
joe allen
Well, Steve, the original title was Transhumanist Technocult Meets in Madrid to Discuss World Domination, but as I said earlier this morning, some swords get beaten into hammers.
You can find the article at The Federalist.
The actual title is Transhumanists Meet in Spain to Plan Global Transformation.
You can also find it at warroom.org.
So the meat of the article is a distillation of all of the different religious ideas that you see cropping up in this movement.
These ideas have been around for many decades.
You could say that these ideas go all the way back to Julian Huxley.
But in essence, the religious impulse behind transhumanism is rooted in the idea that machines and human beings must be fused in order for human beings to survive.
And it's not that we haven't done just fine for the last 150,000 to 250,000 years.
The issue is that in a high-tech society, a society that big tech corporations are creating, that governments are implementing, that the people at the World Economic Forum are promoting,
In a high-tech society, if you don't adopt this sort of technology, if you do not adopt genetic engineering, at least for your children, if you do not adopt neurotechnology to enhance your cognition, if you do not become a symbiotic partner with artificial intelligence, you will be left behind.
You will be left in the smart dust.
So, they've created this cosmology, and the salvation principle lies in your acceptance of technology.
And it's all rushing towards this idea of the singularity, a sort of apocalypse, in which machines, artificial super-intelligence will surpass human beings.
Now, one of the more interesting ideas that came up at the conference was brought up by the Oxford professor Anders Sandberg.
He calls it the wire-heading myth.
He talks about a 1954 experiment done by a scientist, James Olds, in which he inserted electrodes into rats' brains, and the rats would push a lever and receive pleasure directly into their brains electronically.
Now, in the end, what happened is one by one, these rats died.
And this has long been seen as this kind of metaphor for what could happen to human civilization If human beings become so dependent on machines for pleasure, and we are made so passive by our constant dependence on this machine, we'll become like parasites.
I think he put it as we would become barnacles on the technological infrastructure and lose our natural abilities because we don't remember anything because we use smartphones.
Or as we move on down the line, We simply don't need to exert any of the kind of competitive impulses that organic societies require of us, because everything is controlled by machines.
Again, this is a mythology, but it's a mythology, as you've mentioned many times, that is slowly but surely being rolled out of first research labs, and then in think tanks, and then eventually sold by big tech and implemented by governments all over the world, particularly communist China.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to take a short break.
We're going to hold Joe over.
We've had a little problem getting Tiffany Palofko up for The Mothers, but we're going to continue.
We've got so much more to go through with Joe, we don't really let his articles breathe enough, and we're going to do it here today.
This is, as I tell people, this is the most serious and dangerous thing of all the stuff that we do in trying to save this republic, of all the stuff we do to put forward the MAGA movement.
This convergence of these technologies, paid for by your tax dollars, and quite frankly, your pension funds, the equity that goes in it from venture capitalists, the hedge funds, all that, is the single most dangerous thing in the world.
When you see what's going on, and we see what their goals and objectives are, remember, there are no conspiracies, but there are also no coincidences.
Short commercial break.
We'll return with Joe Allen, our editor on transhumanism, next in The War Room.

Some groups will disapprove of technology, will not want technology.
Like the Amish in the United Kingdom.
The Amish left the United Kingdom and then they went to the USA, even to some places in South America.
And they don't want technology beyond the 18th century.
And what was special about the 18th century?
Nothing that I can think of.
But I want you to think about a new view of the world, because China is really the Middle Kingdom.
If you look at the characters of China, it has two characters.
The first one means center.
The second one means kingdom.
China means the Middle Kingdom, the center of the world.
And let me tell you, sadly, you are part of the last non-designed generation.
All of you are here by mistake.
You were not designed.
In the future, we will be designed.
We used to say at Singularity University that you need to think exponentially because if you do not Uber yourself, you will be Kodaked.
steve bannon
You're the last non-designed generation.
These guys are serious.
They're some of the most well-funded, connected people in the world.
This is the party of Davos scientific division, R&D division, and it's coming for you.
It's coming.
Listen, the Singularity, I want to bring in Joe Allen now.
The Singularity has a lot of discussion about artificial intelligence.
It's the convergence of all these technologies on a point.
On this side of that point, it's homo sapien.
On the other side of that point is design.
It is homo sapien plus.
Okay, Homeless Sapient Plus.
That is not a conspiracy theory.
They talk about this all the time.
The people that are associated with it talk about it all the time.
They are driving it to that point, and they're proud of it.
And they're proud of the fact that nobody's standing up and questioning and saying, what are we doing here?
Where can this lead?
And like, who's in charge?
Joe Allen, how dangerous and dark is this getting, sir?
joe allen
I think we just heard it.
Jose Cordero, he was a former instructor at Singularity University and he's a close associate with Ray Kurzweil, a top R&D director at Google and also the founder of Singularity University.
He's also the man who, by and large, has fleshed out this theory of the singularity in which human beings will basically become irrelevant by 2045 if we do not adapt ourselves to this godlike machine.
And I think that even if that is pure myth, and that's quite likely, even if that's pure myth, you see already the way in which these huge technology companies affect our lives.
No one could deny the power of Google.
They determine some 80% of the information flow over the internet.
And as we heard from Christopher Rufo, we know that that information flow is soon to be guided By a sort of diversity and inclusion principle, at least insofar as that training is being taken seriously.
And you see Facebook, it's clear that Facebook is, yeah, it's just a silly social media app on your phone.
But ultimately, in the aggregate, it has created all of these crazy polarized cells, social cells in our society, information silos in which no other point of view can come in.
And behind that, you have Mark Zuckerberg.
And Mark Zuckerberg is working on not only better social media apps, but he was the one who funded the brain implant that allowed the poor, paralyzed man to speak via an electrode array on his head that interpreted his intended speech and moved it to text.
Now, of course, I'm glad that that man is now able to communicate, but why is Facebook funding this?
Why are they now turning their attention to non-invasive brain-computer interfaces which just simply read from the top of the skull the brain activity in order to interpret that activity, translate it into digital information?
steve bannon
We only have a few minutes, but I've got to jump in here.
Project Veritas, remember Veritas had the people that went into the senior Facebook executives about the political and how they were shunning the Trump movement.
The buried lead of that was at the very end, the guy kind of as a throwaway says, by the way, all that Mark Zuckerberg really spends his time on is life extension, trying to live, trying to be immortal.
He said, he says, really what his real passion is, what he's really focused is life extension.
And life extension is just, that is the nicer word they have for immortality.
Remember, their focus right now is on life extension, immortality for the elites.
They're absolutely, this is what they're working on day in and day out.
And that's why you got these moneyed elites, whether it's Bill Gates, whether it's Elon Musk, whether it's Zuckerberg, the rest of these demons, okay?
This is what they're doing.
By God, the war room, every day we're going to be hammering this because this is an issue and you're going to be ahead of the curve.
A year from now or two years from now, people go, why didn't nobody tell me about this?
Well, you're hearing it now.
We're going to break this down piece by piece, technology by technology.
Remember, no conspiracy, but no coincidences.
Made in China 2025, when they announced that many years ago, the conversion with China would dominate these 10 industries by the year 2025 for the fourth industrial revolution.
I think five or six of those are the key industries that converge for the singularity.
Real quickly, Joe, how do people get your writings?
You're on with us full time now.
You got articles up at the Federalist, but how do people get your writings?
How do they follow you on social media?
How do they follow you in the war room?
joe allen
Well, you're going to find a ton of stuff up at warroom.org.
You can follow me on social media, Gab, Twitter, and Gitter, at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z.
And you can also find the present article on The Federalist's homepage, thefederalist.com, Transhumanists Meet in Spain to Plan Global Transformation.
Thank you very much, Steve.
steve bannon
Yeah, make sure you go to The Federalist today.
Look at this article.
It was the lead story up there a while ago.
To The Federalist's latest story.
We're going to have Joe back on Monday.
We've got every day we're going to be hitting this on transhumanism, putting up new research, new analysis, etc.
