Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| It is Wednesday, 20 October, Year of the Lord 2021. | ||
| I guess we're not going to have our cold open this morning? | ||
| Okay, we're not going to have it. | ||
| That's okay. | ||
| We'll revamp here. | ||
| We had an amazing cold open for you, but I think we dropped the ball here in the War Room. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Nearly 100 million people on the podcast, and of course millions of people live every day. | ||
| I really want to thank GNewsGTV for the translations into Mandarin, because it gets us into Lao Bai Jing, it gets us into China. | ||
| Last night on Chinese Communist Party TV, Going on and on and on. | ||
| Steve Bannon's in prison. | ||
| Steve Bannon says, no, we're here in the war room. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| We're taking on the Chinese Communist Party in defense of our friends, Lao Bajing, old hunter names, the deplorables of China. | ||
| So make sure we ain't going anywhere. | ||
| In fact, the show's only getting more and more powerful every day. | ||
| And here's what we're also going to have to do. | ||
| We're not going to play games and do misdirection plays. | ||
| New polling out. | ||
| We're going to have Raheem Kassam on. | ||
| We're going to have Jack Posobco on. | ||
| We're going to have Jason Miller on. | ||
| We're going to have people that can really drill down on this. | ||
| The Biden regime is, if I, to say it's imploding is too polite, too polite a term. | ||
| So I want to start. | ||
| Do we have Jason Miller? | ||
| Is Jason Miller on? | ||
| We don't have? | ||
| Okay, good. | ||
| I'll just do my monologue this morning. | ||
| Jason Miller's going to join us here momentarily at Getter. | ||
| There's a magazine, Jacobin, a left-wing magazine, talking about the plot we've got in Brazil to kind of control the world with Bolsonaro, led by Jason Miller, the team at Getter, and also the War Room. | ||
| So we're going to get to all that. | ||
| We're also going to have Dr. James Polis from Claremont, from American Mind. | ||
| Joe Allen's going to be on, Darren Beattie. | ||
| We've got a packed show today. | ||
| And we'll keep the trains running on time if we can get Jason Miller up here in a minute. | ||
| But what I want to do is make sure everybody understands something. | ||
| We had the Quinnipiac poll that came out yesterday, the Grinnell College poll, and now we have Rasmussen with some polling and also their tracking. | ||
| It is catastrophic. | ||
| When I say catastrophic, I mean that Biden right now is reaching into the 20s among independents, okay? | ||
| Low 30s, but also the 20s in independents. | ||
| These are historically low numbers. | ||
| And the reason he's here, ladies and gentlemen, is this audience. | ||
| You have been the force multiplier. | ||
| To push out about his illegitimacy, questions about his legitimacy, and also every aspect of this administration, everything they've touched, everything they've touched, they have destroyed, right? | ||
| Like the southern border, like Afghanistan where they've created a new terrorist super state, like the feckless defense of Taiwan and now getting pushed around in the South China Sea, like our economy, the empty shells, the higher prices, all of it. | ||
| All of it's Joe Biden. | ||
| They can't get anything done on Capitol Hill, but they're going to spend the next couple of days on Donald Trump and Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| But that's fine. | ||
| Hey, this is like you want them out there doing their misdirection plays. | ||
| That's the only thing they got. | ||
| But we're not going to let them pivot away from the American people. | ||
| Focused 100% on the debacle that is the Biden administration. | ||
| I want to bring in now Jason Miller. | ||
| Jason, you were specifically called out in one of these magazine articles, but before I start talking about Brazil and globally, how the populist nationalist movement is on the rise and winning and they're complete, they're totally petrified, particularly of your new social media platform, Getter. | ||
| I got to ask you about the polling. | ||
| You're a guy who spent your entire adult life In politics, and particularly as a strategist and a comms strategist, running campaigns. | ||
| Walk me through the polling you've seen out of Quinnipiac, Grinnell College, and now Rasmussen over the last 24 hours. | ||
| Well, it's pretty remarkable, Steve. | ||
| And I really don't think we've even hit the bottom of where Joe Biden's going to go. | ||
| And the simple reason people have to think back to the 2020 campaign when Joe Biden was essentially on the ash heap of history and Jim Clyburn came and rescued him. | ||
| And Joe Biden does not have that core base of supporters. | ||
| that Democrat presidents normally do. | ||
| Think even in particular with the African-American community. | ||
| That's a community where President Trump did historically well versus other Republicans, and Joe Biden has a long, troubled history of race relations. | ||
| That's just—so he does not even have that core African-American base that I think Democrat politicians take for granted. | ||
| But the way that Biden's numbers have imploded with independents, the way that his numbers have imploded with folks who effectively had a negative image of both candidates in the last election, That was something Trump won in 2016, but then lost pretty handily in 2020. | ||
| That is now completely flipped and reversed back. | ||
| And Steve, I think Joe Biden is in a free fall, and there doesn't seem to be any parachute in sight for him. | ||
| I want to talk about Ryan Gerduski. | ||
| Gerduski has something up about independence, where Biden won them, at least on the way they counted votes, by I think 30 points or 25 points. | ||
| That has now in this polling... | ||
| Virtually completely flipped. | ||
| I mean, independents are a proxy for the American people right now because both parties are so polarized. | ||
| Have you ever in your professional life seen an implosion within, you know, before one year is out of any politician at any scale like you're seeing a Joe Biden with the proxy of the independents being the American people? | ||
| Not unless someone went sailing on a monkey business yacht or had a wide stance in a bathroom stall like that senator from Idaho. | ||
| Unless it had something crazy like that, no, I've never seen such an implosion. | ||
| And this is quite remarkable, especially at the presidential level. | ||
| No, we've never seen anything like this. | ||
| And again, everything that President Trump predicted that would happen under Biden presidency has. | ||
| The crisis of the southern border, China on the rise, testing the hypersonic missile, everything in Afghanistan, the hyperinflation, all of these things at the same time. | ||
| Literally, Steve, I don't know if anyone could have accomplished all this if they tried to. | ||
| And Biden seems to be doing it, and there's no one to rescue him. | ||
| His legislative agenda is going nowhere. | ||
| Kamala Harris is completely checked out and weighing over her head. | ||
| Like President Trump says, I'm also concerned about where the country's even going to be by the time we have a next presidential election. | ||
| Okay, I want to do two things. | ||
| I want to talk about political capital and what Biden can do to get out of this. | ||
| Number one, with no mandate at the beginning and political capital at almost zero when he started, or very little, now he's bled out. | ||
| Now he has negative capital. | ||
| He's negatively attached to the governorship of Virginia. | ||
| He's negatively attached to all these swing district congressmen. | ||
| They're all going to die politically because of his failures. | ||
| On political capital, how can they still be trying to jam through this massive stimulus bill, or is this the hill they're going to die on? | ||
| They understand they have to have this in order to survive. | ||
| With no political capital, how does a guy try to jam through really this radical spending proposal? | ||
| Well, I think at this point it's really, it's a base play. | ||
| I don't think this is more of something that appeals to independents. | ||
| This is what we call in marketing or even in politics, preaching to one's own choir. | ||
| And that's when you go in and turn around and sometimes you think so much about the prisoners, you forget about the folks you take for granted, they're always with you every single Sunday. | ||
| That's what Biden's doing here. | ||
| And he wants to go and try to throw some goodies Uh, to the base, but here's the problem. | ||
| He doesn't even have all the base together, because you have the AOC, Ilhan Omar on one side, you have the Manchin and Kristen Sinema on the other, and they're essentially stalling this thing out. | ||
| Because, Steve, here's the thing. | ||
| Not one person in the United States of America woke up this morning and said, boy, if we only had this Biden infrastructure bill, everything would be great. | ||
| Not one single person. | ||
| It's just, it's not a motivator. | ||
| It's not a big driver that people are trying to get. | ||
| There's nothing Biden can do right now with a complete lack of personality and lack of charisma and fortitude to go and will people back. | ||
| So you can't say if he gave some big speech, if he went and delivered some new initiative, because everyone knows that he's feckless And can't get anything done, so I think they're going to try to preach to the choir, try to get something through, just try to get a win on the board, and then move on from there. | ||
| But I don't know if that's going to happen at all, and that's why I said I think he's in a free fall. | ||
| This is, this is, you're seeing this in Virginia right now. | ||
| We were going to start, we couldn't pull it correctly, but Terry McAuliffe stormed off an interview with mainstream media because they started asking about CRT. | ||
| They started asking about the education system in Virginia. | ||
| He got angry. | ||
| He says you're not asking the right questions and stormed off the stage. | ||
| He's having, they're in a desperate last-minute move to get the base out in Richmond, in the suburbs of Richmond, what they think is the big anti-Trump Well, they say in life that the most powerful force in the world is an idea. | ||
| in order to save himself here. I mean, you know how long it takes things that take place. The supply chain problems are just starting. The inflation is just starting to kick off. The worst parts of this are still in front of us. What does this guy do to try to save himself? | ||
| Well, they say in life that the most powerful force in the world is an idea. In politics, the most powerful force is a trend line. And right now, Terry McAuliffe's trend lines are not good. | ||
| That's why if you live in the Washington, D.C., the northern Virginia market, all you're seeing are negative ads from Terry McAuliffe attacking Glenn Youngkin, saying that he's too close to Trump. | ||
| It's really a kitchen sink ad. | ||
| You're too close to Trump, you're going to take away abortion rights, you're going to destroy public schools. | ||
| Terry McAuliffe, even though he's already been a one-term governor in the state of Virginia, because you can't run successive terms, He's now up with 100% negative ad. | ||
| If you're in the closing days of a race and you don't have any vision or message of your own that you're putting up, that usually means that your trend lines are bad and you know that you're really risking the chance of losing. | ||
| I think the only thing that Biden really can do at this point is just send in Obama to try to gin up the African American vote. | ||
| Maybe there are a couple other little niche coalition places To go and do it. | ||
| But right now, the independents, particularly in Northern Virginia, have just imploded on McAuliffe because they see what's happening in D.C. | ||
| and they say, guys, this thing is a disaster. | ||
| And I tell you, Steve, every day that the Loudoun County drama is in the news, whether we're talking about trans issues or we're talking about CRT, this is a massive loss for the Democrats. | ||
| And there's a reason why David Shore, the Democrat demographer, the Ezra Klein wrote that New York Times column about a couple of weeks ago. | ||
| So the Democrats have set themselves back a generation and not even just here but also say the Labour Party in the UK and other leftists in Western civilization, they've set themselves back a generation by their embrace of these radical lefty policies and I'm here for every minute of it. | ||
| Talk to me. | ||
| You had a big article the other day in the Daily Mail that summarized the Chinese Communist Party's investment in the Caribbean and Latin America. | ||
| I think it was $180 billion. | ||
| Also a magazine today. | ||
| Talk about Getter being a platform. | ||
| Walk us through Getter and what you're accomplishing. | ||
| New things are going to come up and how important this is for the political right. | ||
| Well, this is everything right now and as we've been traveling the world, obviously, Much hype trip to Brazil, but also haven't been to London and Paris and Berlin over the last few weeks. | ||
| This thing has taken off like a rocket ship, Steve. | ||
| U.S. | ||
| is actually, to give you the global perspective, U.S. | ||
| is actually less than 50% of our overall global market now for getter. | ||
| That's about 47%, which is a good thing. | ||
| It means it's taken off and people are realizing this. | ||
| But whether it's the big tech oligarchs, the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, whether it's some of the overly intrusive government entities, I think about some of the GDPR and some of the, and particularly in Germany, but then obviously my buddies on the Supreme Court down in Brazil, they're trying to stifle free speech. | ||
| They do not want to see anyone who likes President Bolsonaro have a voice. | ||
| They don't want anyone who likes President Trump to have a voice. | ||
| Same thing as we talk about Eric Zemmer in France, or we talk about our allies with the AFD or anyone pushing back on Merkel and her outgoing gang, or even the incoming gang of leftists who will now be in charge of Germany. | ||
| But everywhere we go, people are upset with big tech. | ||
| They want their free speech rights. | ||
| They're tired of their data being sold. | ||
| It's why we're almost, we're approaching, we're over two and a half million, but we're approaching three million users, fastest ever that any social media platform's ever done it. | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||
| How do they find out more about Getter? | ||
| How do they get onto this platform that's really going to be one of the key elements to help save the world? | ||
| Because, quite frankly, we need a social media platform that has complete interconnectivity to all these groups throughout the world. | ||
| How do people get there? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Getter.com. | ||
| You can go to getter.com. | ||
| You can go to the Apple Store. | ||
| Type in Getter or the Google Play Store. | ||
| And Steve, also want to let people know, even if you're on Getter, maybe you haven't been on recently, come check it out. | ||
| We have some really cool features that are coming. | ||
| We've been testing our live streaming, which will start in about a week here. | ||
| We've been live testing it for about two weeks. | ||
| We also have our competitor to Instagram Reels or Facebook Stories. | ||
| That would be coming out probably in this next month, I believe before Thanksgiving. | ||
| I saw the beta testing of it and this thing looks really slick. | ||
| And then Steve, the one big thing I want to make sure people are aware of, we're going to be announcing very soon a counter conference that we're going to be holding in London, most likely that week around December 8th. | ||
| We're gonna be bringing together everyone who's trying to save Western civilization from the UK, US, France, Germany, Brazil, bringing everyone together and we're gonna be talking about the media, tech, our economy, all of our values, everything that we talked about saving Western civilization and standing up to the CCP and the evils of Communist China. | ||
| That's coming up that first week in December in London. | ||

You're gonna be hearing a lot more about it. | |
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Banham. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||

| Everything there. | ||
| And Mike Lindell, being an American manufacturing company, has worked through all the logistics problems, so you will get your stuff immediately. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I want to go to Ken Paxman. | ||
| Remember, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, As Biden collapses, OK, Biden's collapses, he's taken down everything around him and these radical policies and particularly talk about Loudoun County in northern Virginia. | ||
| These are heavily. | ||
| The reason Virginia is a blue state is these suburbs are now all basically made up of either federal workers or people in the government, other government agencies or associated with the apparatus. | ||
| Remember, I think seven of the richest 13 counties in America surround Washington, D.C. | ||
| And the reason is you got these massive Budgets every year, you know, five and a half trillion dollars, like a private equity fund that refills every year, five and a half trillion dollars. | ||
| Critical Race Theory has been at the top. | ||
| The clip we weren't able to pull has Terry McAuliffe walking away from an interview, ripping the microphone off, saying this interview is over after 10 minutes of a 20-minute interview to a guy from ABC, one of the local ABC affiliates. | ||
| The reason he was questioning about CRT and the ad up there that's bombarding McAuliffe and he's very angry about it. | ||
| McAuliffe says the parents have nothing to say about this. | ||
| The teachers have everything to say. | ||
| And now he's saying on this interview, critical race theory is not even a real thing. | ||
| It's just a theoretical legal theory from Derrick Bell and the guys at Harvard Law School. | ||
| It doesn't even matter. | ||
| We know that's a lie. | ||
| The people know it's a lie. | ||
| The parents know it's a lie. | ||
| So the Justice Department, as you know, has stepped in here and sent a letter to the FBI. | ||
| They're going to start considering America's parents that go to these school board meetings, domestic terrorists. | ||
| That would be you in the audience. | ||
| The reason Biden's polling numbers are collapsing is because the American people are wise to him. | ||
| He's trying to make anybody that disagrees with any of their policies is always a domestic terrorist, right? | ||
| And they're going to try to out you. | ||
| They're going to try to get you out of your job, out of your social clubs, out of your affiliations. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| The frontline Attorney General has done such a good job. | ||
| Attorney Generals like the guy we had on on the 20th of January. | ||
| A guy named Ken Paxson. | ||
| I want to bring him in for Texas. | ||
| He said at the time, hey, where Biden administration is going to be inside the Constitution, fine. | ||
| We're the outside the Constitution. | ||
| We're going to confront him and he's one of the 17 attorney generals of the states have have bound together and sent a warning to the Justice Department to back off that they're going to defend their moms and dads. | ||
| And they're not domestic terrorists, and they're having a hard throwdown. | ||
| I want to bring in Ken Paxson. | ||
| Ken's joining us today by phone. | ||
| Ken, walk us through, what's the origin of this letter? | ||
| Why is it important, and why is it, once again, that you're at the tip of the spear of fighting for the, not just the deplorables, but for the working class and middle class moms and dads who are just trying to get their kids educated without being poisoned? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So we think the origin is a letter from the National School Board Association. | |
| To the Biden administration saying that they are, you know, these parents are out of control. | ||
| They're being threatening. | ||
| I don't think they actually gave any evidence of that. | ||
| What they actually gave evidence of parents that were frustrated. | ||
| They are angry. | ||
| I think they have a right to be angry. | ||
| They have a right to speak out. | ||
| And because of that letter, we believe the Biden administration authorized or pushed the pushing the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate parents. | ||
| who they believe are speaking out on issues that they disagree with, which is clearly a violation of their First and Fourteenth Amendment, without any evidence at all of any kind of terrorism. | ||
| And certainly, if there were an issue of a real threat, local law enforcement can handle it. But now we've got these bands of FBI agents that are supposedly going to monitor the speech of every American parent that disagrees with the Biden administration. | ||
| So this is what I don't understand. They're actually, they're actually, we're going to try to come in and muscle parents and identify parents and actually call them domestic terrorists, and then you guys came together and sent this letter. And I want to make sure the letter puts them on notice that you and these other courageous attorney generals are not going to let this happen? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we laid out the case. | |
| First of all, there's no evidence that there are any real threats to people, you know, that they're going to be harmed. | ||
| And two, they have no right to threaten the speech or the actions of the parents speaking out. | ||
| This is chilling. | ||
| And that this is more like what would happen in a totalitarian country, not a free country that has a constitution that explicitly protects parents' ability to speak out, especially when they're talking about their own children. | ||
| This is unbelievable. | ||
| Tell me, if Justice tries to come in and enforce this, I want to make sure about this letter, because parents, a lot of parents have, you know, we get a lot of these activists on the phone, and this one thing, some people said actually did chill some of the parents, although 95% of them kept at it. | ||
| It did because people were concerned that I'll be fired from my job if these guys can identify. | ||
| What actions, Ken, will you take To make sure that Merrick Garland and the radicalized FBI is not down there getting into parents' businesses. | ||
| They're trying to make sure this poison of critical race theory is not put into their children's heads. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So our actions will be based on whatever actions they take. | |
| I can just tell you that these 17 AGs, we're already organized. | ||
| We've already organized where we're going to file. | ||
| We have our groups together that are going to file on different circuits. | ||
| And obviously we have to wait to see what the action are and we'll those actions are and then we'll make sure that our lawsuit fits. | ||
| But I can tell you this, we're all ready to stand up and fight this because I literally have never seen anything this bad in the United States. | ||
| Biden has done a lot of really awful things on the border with Afghanistan. | ||
| But talking about this is feeling much more like Germany or Russia or China than it is America. | ||
| I can't believe that they went this far. | ||
| I got a question to ask you, because you're a very thoughtful guy. | ||
| You know, Terry McAuliffe's running around here, he just ripped up, he was being interviewed by an affiliate of ABC, and the guy was asking pretty straightforward questions. | ||
| I think he asked the same questions of both candidates. | ||
| And he was asking about CRT, and Terry, their new party line is, that's all a lie, it's not being taught, it's some legal theory. | ||
| You know, you're a pretty good lawyer. | ||
| Is CRT, and what they're trying to do in Texas, is that just a legal theory from Harvard Law School? | ||
| Or are they actually trying to teach and put this poison into our children's heads? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, there's no doubt. | |
| He's a liar. | ||
| This is being pushed through schools all over the country. | ||
| It's a planned effort. | ||
| Merrick Garland's own son-in-law has a company that does this. | ||
| They're profiting from this. | ||
| It's a massive effort. | ||
| It's not just some isolated incident in one little town in Texas. | ||
| One little town in Maryland. | ||
| It is all over the country. | ||
| It is a massive effort to infiltrate the minds of our kids and convince them that, you know, they're all racist. | ||
| So, I just want to make sure the parents of America know that right now, 17 Attorney Generals have had their back, but that they should not worry about being called domestic terrorists. | ||
| And by the way, we want everybody when we go to the scoreboard meetings, we want you to be passionate, we want you to be focused, we want you to be in guys' grills, obviously color inside the lines. | ||
| Absolutely, and we want to encourage parents to speak out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Obviously, no violence, no threatening people. | |
| That would be awful. | ||
| The way we operate in our country is we have free speech rights, and we can talk about whatever we want. | ||
| We can be angry about it. | ||
| We can be passionate about it. | ||
| We have that right, and the parents back off now. | ||
| We will lose that right just through the chilling effect that they're trying to impose on us. | ||
| Whether they actually follow through on prosecuting and investigating parents, I don't know if they'll do it with the outcry. | ||
| If we keep screaming about this and talking about this, but just the chilling effect alone, it could work if parents look at this and are afraid. | ||
| We will have your back. | ||
| Ken, Pat, Ken, how do people follow you? | ||
| Because you're at the tip of the spear about every major issue in this country. | ||
| The folks in Texas are in the middle of this, just about every major issue right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
How do people follow you to keep up with what's going on? | |
| We have to be, by the way. | ||
| Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, at KenPaxtonTX. | ||
| And then for my website, it's KenPaxton.com. | ||
| I think they're picking on Texas because of what great patriots the Texas folks in Texas are. | ||
| That's why they've singled you out. | ||
| That's why they're down there all over Texas. | ||
| I've got so many friends down there, and I'm telling you, they are hardcore patriots, and Texans are not going to back up one inch. | ||
| Is that correct, Ken? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, that's absolutely right. | |
| I think you're absolutely right. | ||
| They are coming after us. | ||
| They know if they can take us, because we are big, we are an economic force, and if they can harm us through illegal immigration and taking away our money, to the Medicaid program or whatever they have to do. | ||
| They want to hurt us more crime, anything they could do. | ||
| They want to make us look bad. | ||
| Bringing in COVID, it's all part of the plan to hurt our state. | ||
| So if they can say, see, Texas, they can't do anything. | ||
| We're going to stop them. | ||
| They're trying to stop us, basically. | ||
| Ken Paxson, thank you very much. | ||
| Honor to have you on. | ||
|

|
Hey, thanks, Steve. | |
| He's right. | ||
| That's where they got the invasion down there. | ||
| They're coming after Texas, but the good news is you've got some pretty tough Texans down there who are not going to let it. | ||
| Do we have Jackie up? | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Raheem, who is kind of relocated to New York City, who's in the process of relocating to New York City to help organize things up there and to lead the national pulse from there, identified to me about two weeks ago. | ||
| He's been going to some of these meetings, and he says, hey, you've got to do a special. | ||
| They have these women of Gotham. | ||
| I think there's 10 or 12 women, a dozen of them, that are now running for public office, and many of them against long odds. | ||
| But they are absolute fire breathers, and they're absolutely an inspiration to the American people. | ||
| And so we're going to start today by taking a short commercial break. | ||
| Had a little technical problem. | ||
| We're going to try to get that sorted. | ||
| Also, Rahim's going to join us. | ||
| Rahim's been going through. | ||
| The data, the polling that's coming out, he's got a lot of insight, so we're going to take a short break. | ||
| Women of Gotham starts next in the War Room along with Raheem Kassam. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| They're not getting us off our playbook. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It's focus, focus, focus, action, action, action, victory begets victory. | ||
| We're running the tables on these guys right now and we are not about to let up at all. | ||
| Be back in the War Room in just a moment. | ||

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. | ||
| and we'll see you next time. | ||
| Okay, MyPillow.com, promo code WARROOM, support Mike Lindell, the American manufacturing company of MyPillow, and of course, the Fighters for Liberty here at the War Room Apparatus. | ||
| Go there today. | ||
| Particularly, you've got the 10-year commemoration sale, 1998, as low as 1998, from 6998. | ||
| Big savings. | ||
| Be some sense of urgency there to take human action and use your agency. | ||
| Because it's not going to last forever. | ||
| It's going to have a short time fuse on it. | ||
| Also the towels, normally $69, $109, now $39.99. | ||
| Go there, six pack of towels. | ||
| Best towels ever made. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| So Rahim, in going to New York and becoming a media mogul up there and organizing everything and taking New York City back and saving Gotham City. | ||
| He gave me a heads up the other day. | ||
| He says, hey, there's these fire breathing mobs and you're seeing you're seeing things from Arizona and you're seeing things from Texas and all over the country, northern Virginia. | ||
| But there's a bunch of these fire breathers up here in New York City against long odds. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| They are storming the barricades. | ||
| To run for City Council and actually get engaged. | ||
| And he says that it's amazing. | ||
| They're incredibly tough, smart, articulate. | ||
| And so we're going to start to highlight those. | ||
| We had a slight technical problem, but on so we can't get her on Skype, but we're going to have her back on. | ||
| Jackie Torborow. | ||
| is running for City Council. | ||
| Jackie, tell us about you and these other women. | ||
| Why are you getting such long odds? | ||
| Why are you guys running for City Council in some of the, you know, most woke districts in the country, if not the world? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, thank you so much for having me. | |
| Firstly, this is a movement. | ||
| There are nine of us that are running for City Council because we recognize the importance of City Council. | ||
| We monitor all local city agencies like the Department of Education and these deadly Democrat policies have waged war upon us, whether it's the defunding of police or the assault on schools. | ||
| And mothers will take a lot. | ||
| And I don't know how to say this eloquently, but we are not going to bend over and take it up the you know what and sacrifice our children. | ||
| So we are motivated. | ||
| We are all in. | ||
| And so tell me the race is coming on the first Tuesday in November. | ||
| How are you guys, how are you nine doing right now? | ||
| I understand you're causing, it's a movement, you're causing, and this is the brilliance of Rahim moving up there. | ||
| D.C.' 's kind of empty right now. | ||
| We're taking that back over in November of 22, and then the city will pack with conservatives after we go out in the hustings and win. | ||
| But New York City, we've got to take now. | ||
| What are the odds of you guys actually winning? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I'll tell you what's going on with me. | |
| So I am the first female GOP candidate running for City Council District 1 to ever make matching funds. | ||
| And that is because my message resonates. | ||
| Every single person wants to feel safe. | ||
| Every single person wants a quality education for his or her child. | ||
| This resonates across all races, genders. | ||
| And this is what's going on here. | ||
| We're under attack. | ||
| Our public schools are completely broken. | ||
| The private schools have many other issues. | ||
| CRT, mask mandates, vaccine mandates. | ||
| We have absolutely had it. | ||
| That's really what's going on here. | ||
| And we're building steam. | ||
| We're gaining momentum. | ||
| It really is a movement. | ||
| There are protests all the time that are never covered. | ||
| The mainstream media does not want to focus on the nine of us. | ||
| Yet we are getting tons of attention. | ||
| This is all grassroots. | ||
| And every day it builds. | ||
| It just keeps building. | ||
| And are you surprised by the people that once you show some courage and go out there, the other people come up and say, you know, I've been meaning to do this for years, but I've never had anybody that actually said this. | ||
| Are you seeing a lot of people you would think would be super progressive or saying, thank God you're saving us? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Listen, everyone is grateful. | |
| Everyone says, I wish I could do this. | ||
| My message is they can do it. | ||
| And if we could all get together and coalesce, This would end a lot sooner. | ||
| It's a lot to put the burden on one parent to write in to the school board. | ||
| If 50 of us would get together, it would move a lot faster. | ||
| And again, I have never met a parent. | ||
| My entire circle are liberal moms. | ||
| I'm in Manhattan. | ||
| I'm the only Republican. | ||
| And we are all on the same page. | ||
| We cannot stand CRT. | ||
| Some of these parents don't even know what it stands for. | ||
| Same thing with DEI. | ||
| But we all feel a degraded education. | ||
| There is no doubt. | ||
| And every single person, every single parent is against it. | ||
| But they double down, they keep on going. | ||
| I think we are feeling a McAuliffe effect here. | ||
| There's no doubt. | ||
| If you look at Yunkin, look at what's going on. | ||
| I mean, there is such a force right now, and moms are going to take this home. | ||
| That's really how I feel. | ||
| Jackie, how do people get to you? | ||
| How do they find out more about your campaign, more about you, social media, all of it? | ||

The Game of Nine up in Gotham City. | |
| Raheem, I think you nailed it this time. | ||
| We've got to save New York City. | ||
| It's a change. | ||
| And this is huge. | ||
| Walk us through, before we get into all the polling, I want to walk through, what have you seen when you got up there as a field report? | ||
| You told me about a couple of months ago, after you did your tour of the country, you said, hey, something's happening in New York City, we've got to get on top of this, we've got to help organize this, and we've got to give it a voice and a platform. | ||
| These women are absolutely incredible. | ||
| Walk us through what's going on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, let me be very clear about two things. | |
| Number one, I hate political events. | ||
| And number two, I have, as a Londoner, traditionally hated New York City. | ||
| So for me to go to an event, a political event in New York City, is a bit of a stretch. | ||
| And I went along to this group that they had up last week down in Tribeca in Manhattan, you know, just sort of expecting, you know, clinking of the glasses, maybe a few kooks, a few loons who think they can run for office, don't really have much to say for themselves. | ||
| And I'm just met with this crowd of just properly turned out, incredibly switched on, confident speakers who know what they're talking about and who importantly know why they're pissed. | ||
| And it's because of their kids. | ||
| These women have children. | ||
| They're seeing what the children are learning in schools. | ||
| They were telling me at length about some of the things that are now in the school curricula. | ||
| And so I said to them, well, what is going on here? | ||
| Why are you all here together? | ||
| And what are you gonna do about it? | ||
| They started to tell me about all these protests that have been happening. | ||
| So I started to look for videos on Telegram and other places and Jackie's correct. | ||
| There are all these protests taking place, whether it's outside the New York Times building, down the street. | ||
| I was in O'Hara's, you know, the famous the famous fireman pub down in the World Trade Center this weekend. | ||
| And it's just let's go brand and chance all day long in there. | ||
| And this is New York City we're talking about. | ||
| So something is definitely changing in there. | ||
| I was I was I don't know, just filled with glee to see people like Jackie and others and her colleagues there. | ||
| And Andrew Giuliani was there as well. | ||
| And a bunch of other people there who are running for office. | ||
| But these aren't people who just sort of say, oh, I want to run for office for running for office's sake. | ||
| They have platforms. | ||
| They have ideas. | ||
| They have specificity. | ||
| They drill down into detail. | ||
| And what the least we can do at the National Pulse is to put our shoulders to the wheel and get behind these people. | ||
| Um, this is also why the reaction, look, of all the media that's been hitting the show, the thing that freaks them out the most is the committee precinct strategy. | ||
| They get people to volunteer to be poll watchers, but particularly election officials sitting in the room. | ||
| And the one that blows their heads up the most is the backing of the moms on a critical race theory of going to the school boards. | ||
| And this is why Merrick Garland, That school board association sent the letter, you know, please help us. | ||
| And he sent the thing for domestic terrorism. | ||
| And this is why we had Ken Paxson on before you. | ||
| Raheem, they know this cuts to the heart of the beast, don't they? | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| I mean, there's there's there's no doubt about it. | ||
| When you go through the numbers of my little device here in front of me, when you go through the numbers on, frankly, almost all the polling out there at the moment, The thing that really surprises me is while they may not be convinced yet to vote for Donald Trump or vote Republican, the women represented in these polls, the mothers represented in these polls, are representing some of the most significant shifts and most important shifts as far as both sides are concerned. | ||
| There's a lot of data out in this Quinnipiac poll to go through. | ||
| I think a lot of it is indicative. | ||
| But before we get to it, I was actually listening to a Marist poll podcast earlier this morning to try and get a sense of where you know, the experts think that the Biden regime is at. | ||
| And it's funny, in their own podcast, they admit that they actually wildly oversampled Democrats. | ||
| So you've got to take into mind two factors before we get through some of this polling. Number one is their own admission, the pollsters' own admission. It's not me saying this anymore, they say it. | ||
| They wildly lean Democrat in the way they, in the samples. | ||
| And number two is the shy factor. | ||
| The shy vote, the people who are moderates and independents who don't want to be thought of as knuckle-dragging Republican racists, so they telepulse to something kind of in the middle of where they might feel rather than the full-throated version. | ||
| of what they feel. | ||
| When you take those things into account and you read a statistic that says something like a slight majority of Americans, 52 to 41 percent, say the country is worse off today than it was a year ago, well then you know that number is more like 60-35 with a couple of undecideds. | ||
| People say the Democrats, for instance, 76 percent of Democrats say the country is better off. | ||
| Well, I mean, I mean, that's fantasy land. | ||
| Nobody can really look at what's going on out there in America and think that the country is better off. | ||
| And independence, critically, on that same question, 56 percent of independence say the country is worse off today. So you take into account the shy factor on that question and you really will end up at 65 percent of independents who are saying that the country is worse off. And that's just the beginning of some of these poll numbers. Happy to go through more. | ||
| Yeah, one thing before you go through more, we'll actually stay over to the next break so we have the whole d-block with you. | ||
| You've been doing this for much of your life. | ||
| You've been a blogger, an author, a political activist, but you've also run campaigns. | ||
| I mean, quite frankly, you're one of the two or three guys with Nigel Farage that responsible for Brexit. Have you ever seen in your professional life a collapse like this? I understand he was never at the base he was that was all a lie we know that but have you ever seen a collapse at any level of politics that you've seen in the Biden regime right now particularly among independents and people who are not polarized have you ever? You know it's funny I've replaced my morning martini with a morning run and as I was out for my morning run this | ||
| That is literally crazy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
By the way, New York City is a breath of fresh air to you then, right? | |
| On my morning run, I literally thought about that very phrase. | ||
| I thought to myself, have I ever seen anything like this? | ||
| Whether it was Brexit related, Scottish independence related, Liberal Democrat in free fall in the UK post 2010 coalition government. | ||
| I've never seen anything like this. | ||
| This is unprecedented. | ||
| Joe Biden is an unprecedented president in the sense that he is By and large, as far as the numbers go, as far as the country thinks, not even worth listening to, not even worth heeding, not even worth paying any attention to. | ||
| And it's it's frankly felt embarrassed for him going through some of these numbers. | ||
| But I'll tell you what, more important than some of Biden himself's numbers is some of the issues based numbers. | ||
| This country cares about immigration big time. | ||
| We'll get to that. | ||
| Okay, we're taking a short commercial break. | ||
| Remember, when Raheem says this, and we're going to have some analysis the rest of the weekend, next week, leading up to the McAuliffe debacle in Virginia. | ||
| Remember, they say they won Virginia by what, nine and a half, ten and a half points? | ||
| Less than a year ago. | ||
| And now you're in a dead heat to maybe yanking actually upwards. | ||
| It's all about turnout, and all of MAGA has got to turn out for this. | ||
| Right? | ||
| It's got to turn out in Virginia. | ||
| This is, right now, more historic than the Gingrich Revolution in 94, or the Obama wipeout with the Tea Party in 2010. | ||
| These are historical bad numbers. | ||
| Even off of Clinton's 43%, they're below that now. | ||
| Clinton started with 43%, remember, in the general population. | ||
| This is historic, and one of the reasons it's happened is because of this audience. | ||
| You've been the force multiplied. | ||
| You have stood in the breach. | ||
| And we are winning. | ||
| And they are collapsing. | ||
| And I gotta tell you, Raheem Kassam's gonna walk us through on the issues next in The War Room. | ||

| By the way, I was in the Getter office this past week and I wanted to get Mike Pompeo replaced in that ad with Rahim Ghassan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So just to make sure we have that sorted. | |
| I've already made that. | ||
| I've already made that. | ||
| You're on fire on Getter. | ||
| I've already made that recommendation to senior management. | ||
| Let me start somewhere a little bit different from the approval rating and then we'll get into that because that's a bigger subject and we'd spend more time on that. | ||
| I want to talk about the border wall on the polling for a second because this is really interesting to me. | ||
| They made a particular point in this Quinnipiac study to actually highlight the border wall and how people feel about it. | ||
| Amongst registered voters, 46% support building a A wall 49% they say oppose it again take into account the shy vote and the Democrat lean on that and those numbers will flip but interestingly they note that is the lowest level of opposition to building a wall along the border with Mexico since November 2016 when the question was first asked by the Quinnipiac University poll the highest percentage | ||
| opposed to building the border wall was 64% in 2017. | ||
| So you're seeing a 20 point shift over a couple of years. | ||
| And that feels to me like a Brexit type shift. | ||
| Those couple of years running up to that Brexit vote, there was a 20 point shift in public concern for that issue. | ||
| And I happen to believe, honestly, that you go through these numbers and you look at details like that. | ||
| If Donald Trump were to go down to the southern border and hold a Build Back Bigger event on the southern border, you may have some very, very serious shift in some of the numbers of the people who care about border security. | ||
| So who cares about border security? | ||
| Well, when you go through some of the numbers here, it's very interesting. | ||
| Immigration. | ||
| It's the number one concern for people 65 and older. | ||
| It is the second top concern for white men in America. | ||
| It is the second top concern for white women in America. | ||
| It is a significant concern, the third top concern for Hispanics in America. | ||
| By and large, the most important parts of the policy debate going on in the U.S. | ||
| right now, for most people, and when they poll Democrats separately to Independents and Republicans on this, It shows how out of step the Democrats are because they're saying things like COVID-19, healthcare and climate change. | ||
| The rest of the country is saying the economy and immigration, economy and immigration. | ||
| And whoever keeps hitting those issues and hitting Biden on those issues is sure to get a good ride out of it. | ||
| So let's go to some of the general approval numbers, because these are the real, these will be the ones that Jen Psaki's curled up in a ball somewhere in the White House, rocking back and forth. | ||
| Um, while reading, and it's interesting, because there are only very few constituent groups that seem to give Joe Biden any benefit of the doubt anymore. | ||
| Any approval one is what I call the scourge of America, which is the white four year college graduate liberals. | ||
| These this is the only largest constituent group that gives him any backing. | ||
| Younger people are still slightly more inclined. | ||
| However, let me read you this. | ||
| 18 to 34 year olds disapproval of Joe Biden at 48 versus 31 approved amongst 35 to 49 year olds 50 disapproved plays 39 approved. | ||
| And the other group that still gives Biden the benefit of the doubt black Americans, which is a 65% approval rate plays a 22% disapproval rate. | ||
| Interestingly, Approval rating amongst Hispanic voters, Steve, is just 33%. | ||
| They then ask a corollary question. | ||
| As to whether people feel somewhat strongly about that, or very strongly about that. | ||
| And everybody who disapproves, every single constituent group, Republicans, independents, men, women, the 18 to 34 year olds, 35 to 49 year olds, et cetera, et cetera, run the gamut. | ||
| Apart from those two groups, the scourge, the white four year college liberals, and black Americans as well, every other group says they strongly Strongly disapproved. | ||
| There's very little in terms of moderated feeling being reflected through this polling. | ||
| Now you get onto the favorability. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, go ahead. | |
| Go ahead. | ||
| No, no, you go ahead. | ||
| We've got about two minutes to keep ripping. | ||
| I was going to go into the favorability here, because you have approval and then you have favorability. | ||
| Approval is the political job, the job they're doing. | ||
| Favorability is, hey, do you even like this guy? | ||
| And on that again, Biden finds himself just wildly upside down, unfavorable amongst independents. | ||
| 57% place 28%. | ||
| The only groups here, again, that are in favor of him, white four-year college degree liberals, 52% plays 45% favorable to unfavorable, and then black Americans, 67% place 21%. | ||
| 45% favorable to unfavorable and then black Americans 67% place 21% everyone else. I mean Hispanics 49% unfavorable place 36% favorable and you look at the you look at the numbers for Donald Trump as well because they are they ask those questions, too despite everything Despite having the whole apparatus the media apparatus the think tank apparatus | ||
| The global apparatus, you know, the globalist friends around the world shaking his hand and patting him on the back. | ||
| The social media oligarchs that banned everybody. | ||
| They got that. | ||
| Donald Trump and Joe Biden are effectively neck and neck in the favorability ratings right now. | ||
| That is a very stunning data point to take away from this. | ||
| Funnily enough, one of the things that really stood out to me was question eight in this Quinnipiac poll. | ||
| Would you like to see Donald Trump run for president in 2024 or not? | ||
| And of course, 94% of Democrats say no, but I don't think that's because 94% of Democrats don't want the option of voting for Donald Trump. | ||
| 94% of Democrats know they'd lose if Donald Trump ran for president in 2024. | ||
| So that's something to bear in mind as well. | ||
| I think for the most part, this is a really interesting one. | ||
| Just finally, I'm going to keep you over for a few minutes in the next block because I got a question to ask you on macro because you were the guy there. | ||
| We talked early on about in the beginning days of Brexit when you guys were just a glimmer and you saw the massive tectonic plate shift. | ||
| I'm going to ask you, are we on the verge of seeing another one? | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We've got Dr. James Polis, we've got Joe Allen, we've got Darren Beattie, and we have Raheem Kassam. | ||
| All in the next hour. | ||
| And Jack Masovic. | ||
| That's Murderers Row right there. | ||
| That's like 27 Yankees. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| All in the next hour. |
