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. Probably warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. That 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. | |

| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| How do you want to be remembered? | ||
| At consequential moments in history, they present a choice. | ||
|

|
Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace? | |
| Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor? | ||
| Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis? | ||
| This is the moment to decide! | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong, Clint, though, the threat assessments right now, they put domestic terror, violent extremism here in the United States above threats from international terrorists. | ||
| It's more worrisome what is happening here than what might come over here. | ||
|

|
That's absolutely correct, and I think the balance really changed, to be honest, when President Trump took office. | |
| He was a galvanizing force that, at least for a lot of extremist groups, they saw him as an empowering force. | ||
| He talked a lot about issues that spoke to them. | ||
| They didn't always work together, but they saw unity underneath his banner, and I think that's why you saw such a diverse set of militia groups show up with QAnon supporters on January 6th. | ||
| And separately, you see the online space is just absolutely, in my opinion, out of control. | ||
| Between COVID-19, mass mandates, and white supremacy, it is a lot of violence out there. | ||
| I'm sorry to step on you, but on that point, what does a new unit like this, what sort of powers does it have? | ||
| Because there is still no domestic terrorism statute in this country. | ||
| Are they going to be able to go after these threats as successfully as they need to? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Very tough, Katie. | |
| I think the reason that you saw those numbers quoted yesterday about the number of open domestic terror investigations, because they were pursuing so many cases after January 6th. | ||
| If you just look at the trajectory, it's an incredible uptick because you had an overt crime. | ||
| But that's too late. | ||
| I think that's where we're at right now in the country. | ||
| without domestic terrorism designation of some form, without some sort of a policy around when you can preemptively watch social media to preempt an attack. | ||
| It came up again yesterday at the hearing, no resolution on it. | ||
| It then becomes, how do we put all the cases together? | ||
| And I think the DOJ sees it as legally easier under the criminal code, maybe to put it together at their level and try and put the pieces together of what the FBI is doing around the country. | ||
| Okay, this is their last hope. | ||
| Since Mike Allen, by the way, it's Wednesday, 12 January, Year of the Lord 2022. | ||
| Welcome to the boardroom. | ||
| Now with over 125 million downloads on the podcast. | ||
| Of course, we're live everywhere. | ||
| The live show's multiple times bigger than the podcast, but the podcast number is one that a lot of people seem to quote. | ||
| You saw yesterday where, you know, Fox News had broken, and we had Terry Schilling on here, that the Secretary of Education had asked for the letter from the school board, Association of School Boards, calling the moms and dads of America domestic terrorists. | ||
| And this is where Merrick Garland got rolling on that, and then lied about it later. | ||
| About sending a letter to everybody saying, having this press conference. | ||
| Remember, domestic terrorism is you. | ||
| It's American citizens. | ||
| Oh, and there's no statute. | ||
| Just a small thing. | ||
| You know, there's no statute. | ||
| Just a small, just a small issue. | ||
| But this is all they're doing. | ||
| With the Chinese Communist Party having infiltrated everything, having bought off everything, having been in every university, you've got guys, tenured professors running the chemistry department at Harvard going to prison for working for them as spies. | ||
| The place is totally infiltrated. | ||
| They've infiltrated Wall Street, they've infiltrated all the corporations, they've infiltrated this city. | ||
| They're the greatest existential threat this republic has ever had, and there's not even a close second. | ||
| No, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union Thank you very much. | ||
| platter are not as big a threat as the Chinese Communist Party controlling China today. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Particularly with AI and all these new weapons coming up. | ||
| No, the greatest existential threat we've ever had in the history of the republic. | ||
| No, but Williams, the correspondent for NBC yesterday says, no, in the old days, you really focus on that. | ||
| But the new one, they're really focused on inside the DOJ, the task force they got. | ||
| They don't have the task force. | ||
| They don't put a tiger team or task force together on BLM or in TIF or anybody burning down cities causing billions of dollars of debt. | ||
| No. | ||
| It's on moms and dads. | ||
| It's on moms and dads that they've designated domestic terrorists. | ||
| This is the... Mike Allen Today, put the death ray on him. | ||
| Axios, which is the corporate bureaucracy in the city's conventional wisdom. | ||
| He's the mouthpiece for the elites, for the establishment. | ||
| He came out and said the Biden agenda is dead. | ||
| That's the Biden agenda is dead. | ||
| Build back broke, dead. | ||
| They don't even talk about it anymore. | ||
| Because the progressives are too humiliated about how they got played. | ||
| And their voters sitting there going, hey, where's this build back better thing? | ||
| Where did that go? | ||
| Nowhere. | ||
| You got, you got Alfred E. Buttigieg, what me worry, right? | ||
| That goofball is wandering around out there in San Pedro in the Port of Long Beach looking at ships like some tourist. | ||
| Talking about the truck drivers that their vaccine mandates all put out of work while the shelves are empty. | ||
| Why inflation is exploding the highest number since 82. | ||
| And if he did the real calculation back then it'd be at 14%. | ||
| And not having, sitting there comparing people that have honest differences of opinions of grabbing, the federal government for the first time in history grabbing state elections. | ||
| Now you're Jefferson Davis, Bull Connor, and George Wallace. | ||
| That's a way to unite the country. | ||
| Joe, glad that's working out for you. | ||
| That's going nowhere. | ||
| And they keep saying Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, Tester in Montana, Shaheen in New Hampshire, Kelly out in Arizona. | ||
| They understand they're all gone if they do that. | ||
| There's no support for that. | ||
| So he's wandering around today. | ||
| Schumer's saying, oh yeah, we're going to force him for having conversations. | ||
| MSNBC's got the big crocodile tears all day. | ||
| So the last thing they have is domestic terrorism to basically lock you folks up. | ||
| Julie Kelly, walk me through, what are they doing here? | ||
| What are they trying to accomplish? | ||
| You've been on this for American Greatness from the beginning. | ||
| Well, so that's what I wrote about in my book, is that January 6th is the pretext for the Democrats, the Biden regime, The administrative state, national security state, to turn the surveillance tools that have been used against foreign terrorists against domestic terrorists. | ||
| Now, of course, this means, you know, nearly 75 million Trump voters. | ||
| They're not even hiding it anymore. | ||
| They are openly bragging about turning the surveillance state against American citizens. | ||
| And you saw this in March 2nd of 2021, when Christopher Wray designated The four-hour disturbance at the Capitol, a domestic terror attack. | ||
| You had Avril Haines, who is the Director of National Intelligence, issued a bulletin that same week calling the greatest threat to the homeland a domestic violent extremist. | ||
| And this means anti-government people who are upset about lockdowns and mask mandates, etc. | ||
| So this has been almost a year in the works, obviously, since January 6th. | ||
| And then you had Matthew Olson yesterday testify. | ||
| He is the head of the National Security Division for the Justice Department. | ||
| So he basically is in charge. | ||
| This was the division that was created in 2006 for the first war on terror to sort of combine all of the resources and authority, collecting information, sharing information, etc. | ||
| So he's head of NSD and he announced just unilaterally, because this is what you do in this authoritarian Marxist regime, that he is opening a domestic terror unit. | ||
| He's filling it with prosecutors, and this will be more muscle, aside from what the DOJ is already doing in this investigation, to do whatever it can, use whatever tools at their disposal to go after suspected domestic terrorists. | ||
| Yeah, we want you to keep all your receipts over there because after, in November, after we have the sweeping victory, MAGA ascended, all you guys are gonna be up to be investigated, okay? | ||
| This is not going to be tolerated. | ||
| You're not going after moms and dads. | ||
| You're not going to go after people that don't want to be vaccinated. | ||
| You're not going to go after people that don't want their kids experimented on. | ||
| Sorry, you may want to do that, but you're not going to. | ||
| We dare you right now. | ||
| And I realize some of the guys that follow us on Twitter are saying, how can Bannon be saying this? | ||
| Hey, I'm saying it. | ||
| You don't like it? | ||
| Suck on it. | ||
| OK? | ||
| We're daring you, little Merrick Garland. | ||
| Do we have Olsen's? | ||
| Can we play this? | ||
| Do we have Olsen's? | ||
| We don't have it, thanks. | ||
| Talk to me about, you've seen a difference in the Republican Party. | ||
| You saw some muscle yesterday in this hearing. | ||
| Give us your assessment of that. | ||
| You had Cruz, you had Lee, you had Tom Cotton. | ||
| They were on fire on this yesterday. | ||
| Walk me through that. | ||
| I'm going to tell you what, Steve. | ||
| I think these Republicans went home over Christmas break and they got an earful from their constituents because, as you know, January 6th is a huge issue for the base right now. | ||
| And they are infuriated. | ||
| A year later, there's basically no Republican in Washington speaking out against this abusive, punitive DOJ investigation. | ||
| Now this January 6th committee going after everyone in Trump's orbit. | ||
| Political prisoners that are being held in the shadow of the U.S. | ||
| Capitol building. | ||
| And we only have a handful of Republican congressmen who are speaking out. | ||
| So I think they heard it from their constituents. | ||
| I think they heard it from their donors. | ||
| And you could tell a very detectable shift in the messaging around January 6th, not only from Senator Cruz, who confronted Jill Sanborn, one of the FBI officials who testified yesterday, but also Tom Cotton, Senator Cotton confronting DOJ and FBI, wanting to know about the number of federal assets, FBI agents, informants, government assets who were used on January 6th. | ||
| You even had Marco Rubio today who gave this just overwrought speech the day after January 6th and how China is laughing at us and this is so horrific. | ||
| And today he mocked it. | ||
| Oh, you really think that these people in furry costumes and speedos tried to overthrow the government? | ||
| There's a huge shift. | ||
| I want to credit you two for covering this, covering my work, Darren Beatty's work, etc. | ||
| Because we are moving this in a direction that is not favorable to the Democrats and the Biden regime. | ||
| And we need more allies in the Republican Party and media on the right to help us keep chugging this train along. | ||
| The way we do this, this is the audience, once again, this is your power. | ||
| You're the most powerful audience in all media, and the left-wing media is all, you know, going through the entrails of every episode. | ||
| This is because of what you're doing. | ||
| They're not there because they want to. | ||
| They kept their mouth shut for a year. | ||
| Julie Kelly's reporting, Darren B's reporting, and you being the force multiplier. | ||
| Let's play, I want to play the Olsen takedown yesterday. | ||
| Let's play it. | ||

|
A number of domestic terror investigations have more than doubled, doubled in the past year alone, according to a top official from the Justice Department, Matthew Olson, testifying today. | |
| You see him there in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. | ||
| The FBI saying the biggest threat, people who radicalized online alone and then went on to join militias or white supremacist groups. | ||
| I want to bring in NBC News Justice Correspondent Pete Williams. | ||
| Pete, this is interesting stuff. | ||
| Tell us about this new unit, right? | ||
| What does it look like? | ||
| What does it do? | ||
| What are its concrete goals? | ||
| Well, it's concrete goals are fighting domestic terrorism. | ||
| It's a new group of lawyers within the National Security Division. | ||
| You know, the National Security Division was formed at a time when the big threat to America was the external terror threat from overseas groups. | ||
| That threat hasn't gone away, but as you heard from the government today, from the Justice Department and the FBI, They're much more focused now on the domestic terror threat, and they say, Hallie, that it's basically two things that are driving the increase. | ||
| People motivated by ethnic or racial hatred, and people motivated by strong anti-government sentiment. | ||
| And that's what, if you look at the data, is driving a lot of these crimes of people attacking churches, or large groups of folks that are in public places, or attacking government facilities. | ||
| They say those are the two main drivers, the things that they're most concerned about. | ||
| That's what they told the Senate Judiciary Committee in a hearing today. | ||
| Okay, let me... Julie... Important, I think, for the context, you're right. | ||
| Okay, Julie. | ||
| He said that over DOJ, their emphasis is not foreign, it's not like China, not the Chinese Communist Party, it's now the moms and dads of America. | ||
| Did I hear that correctly, ma'am? | ||
| Oh, Pete Williams has data. | ||
| He has data about domestic terrorists. | ||
| I would love to see Pete Williams' data. | ||
| Maybe he got it from Anthony Fauci or someone. | ||
| There's no data that supports that domestic terrorism is the biggest threat. | ||
| What's he talking about? | ||
| You could see him stumble around and try to make something up because it doesn't exist. | ||
| I'm going to tell you what happened also in this committee yesterday. | ||
| Neither one of these officials, top DOJ and FBI officials, could answer how many people from special interest countries That means suspected terrorists, terrorists harboring countries, have crossed the border. | ||
| Neither one of them has been to the southern border. | ||
| They can't tell you how many suspected terrorists have flooded into the country from this Biden's open border. | ||
| They have no answer to that. | ||
| Julie, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're taking a short commercial break. | ||
| We'll be back with America Greatness. | ||
| Julie Kelly, she's doing the top investigative reporting on January 6th. | ||
| She's going to be back in 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. | ||
| On July 28, 2020, you signed a public letter attacking the Trump administration for using Department of Homeland Security officers. | ||
| to help protect the federal courthouse in Portland from violent rioters. | ||
| That letter stated, quote, plainclothes officers and unmarked vehicle should be used only in limited capacities and clearly identified circumstances. | ||
| Crowd control is not among those circumstances. | ||
| Mr. Olson, on January 6, 2021, did the Department of Justice or FBI have any plainclothes officers among the crowd at the Capitol? | ||
| Senator, I'm not aware of whether or not there were plainclothes officers among the crowd at the Capitol on January 6th. | ||
| Did any plainclothes officers enter the Capitol on January 6th? | ||
| I don't know the answer to that, Senator. | ||
| Mr. Olson, I've got to say your answers to many questions today are disappointing. | ||
| Yeah, I want to go, by the way, I want Denver to hold, I want to play again. | ||
| Julie Kelly, you've been around this game a long time. | ||
| They prepare for weeks and weeks and weeks for these testimonies. | ||
| That's a bald-faced lie, is it not? | ||
| The guy at that senior level, that's a lie. | ||
| Is that not a bald-faced lie, Julie Kelly? | ||
| It is a total lie, and I'll tell you why. | ||
| Because what Newsweek confirmed in an article bombshell a few weeks ago last Monday, Is that DOJ convened elite teams of FBI, you and I have talked about this with Jack Posobiec, elite teams, FBI forces, the rescue team, ATF, SWAT teams at Quantico the weekend before. | ||
| They deployed those special forces to the city that morning. | ||
| They were on Capitol grounds that day. | ||
| And according to Newsweek, they had officers or agents who entered the building with the first set of protesters who breached the Capitol. | ||
| Um, now I've watched a lot of video and seen a lot of photographs. | ||
| I'll tell you, Steve, I haven't seen any agents with FBI jackets on or ATF jackets or any hats, anything that would identify these agents. | ||
| So Tom Cotton knows exactly what he's talking about. | ||
| He is very careful. | ||
| He's not going to ask that question unless he knows the answer. | ||
| And the answer is yes. | ||
| And Matthew Olson knows it. | ||
| Jill Sanborn certainly knows it because she was head of counterterrorism for the FBI when January 6th went down. | ||
| They know how many agents and informants that they were using. | ||
| They know how they were clothed. | ||
| They know how they were disguised in the crowd. | ||
| And they know exactly what they did. | ||
| So their testimony yesterday was very revealing. | ||
| And I think they were caught off guard by Republicans questioning them the way that they did. | ||
| This is because of this audience. | ||
| The guys went home. | ||
| People are infuriated by this. | ||
| And now, with the bandits to their back, they're starting to be hammers. | ||
| And just ask the questions they should ask. | ||
| The audience wants to know, what can you do about officials that sit there and lie and obfuscate? | ||
| What can we do about Olsen, and I forget the woman's name. | ||
| What can we do about that? | ||
| They're sitting there perjuring themselves. | ||
| Can we call them back up? | ||
| I know we don't control the house yet. | ||
| How do we get to the bottom and start getting so we don't have McCabe problems? | ||
| You know, we have liars in there and these bad guys in the FBI, bad guys. | ||
| The DOJ and the FBI stink to high heaven. | ||
| The fish rots from the head down and the head is rotten and it's got to be cleaned out. | ||
| And hey, guess what? | ||
| It's going to be cleaned out. | ||
| I also want to tell something. | ||
| All the law firms, you think you're going to bounce back to law firms? | ||
| We're going to start banning the law firms you guys go to. | ||
| There's going to be a new sheriff in town. | ||
| That sheriff's not going to let the old games be played in Washington, D.C. | ||
| All he did is go back and get a higher-paid job at one of these law firms that are the power brokers in the city. | ||
| That's all got to be cleaned out. | ||
| That muck has got to all be cleaned out. | ||
| And don't think, McCabe, you're going to be sitting on that pension. | ||
| Once we take over, we're going to undo that pension, okay? | ||
| We're going to get to all of you. | ||
| Going after the American people, moms and dads and veterans, as domestic terrorists. | ||
| You're disgusting. | ||
| So what can people do now about these officials that come up and lie to your face? | ||
| I mean, I don't really know what sort of leverage they have right now. | ||
| I mean, obviously, don't pass any more judges on the Senate Judiciary Committee, shut down that committee to the extent that you that you can. | ||
| I think Republicans need to put together a platform quickly that they are going to run on. | ||
| And the number one issue will be to clean up, not clean up, because it's irredeemable. | ||
| These agencies need to be deconstructed from the top down to the lowest field office in Detroit, FBI field office, for example, which concocted the Whitmer kidnapping case. | ||
| So there's no part of the FBI that's salvageable. | ||
| The head of the DOJ, I mean, to the extent that they can cut their budgets, Zero it out, whatever they can do, you know, cut their funding to the January 6th prosecution. | ||
| No more, you want more prosecutors, all these prosecutors and investigators and everything that you're doing. | ||
| for January 6th, we're cutting off your funding. | ||
| So when they take control of Congress next year, they need to do it. | ||
| And if they don't, Steve, they're asking... | ||
| But the January 6th, the January 6th is a passing summer storm. | ||
| That is, as Gates and Taylor, Marjorie Taylor Greene say, they want to redo that and really get to the bottom of what you're investigating and reporting. | ||
| They want to make... | ||
| But what's not a passing storm is the apparatus. | ||
| I don't even call it a deep state. | ||
| I call it the administrative state. | ||
| The apparatus is out of control. | ||
| Out of control. | ||
| It's permanent. | ||
| It's been impervious to elections. | ||
| It beat back Donald Trump. | ||
| and he took a pretty good shot at it. | ||
| This time we cannot fail. | ||
| So what's your plan for doing, yes, we can zero out the appropriations, we can choke them off for money, because money is the mother's milk of everything in this town. | ||
| What do you recommend that we do? | ||
| What should be that platform? | ||
| Because this is going to be a massive issue. | ||
| This is what's going to get every Trump voter plus. | ||
| And I think I know how to get Trump voters out. | ||
| Every Trump voter plus out. | ||
| This gets us 100 seats. | ||
| This gets us 100 years. | ||
| How do you do that? | ||
| What's the platform? | ||
| Not only do you have to use other legislative tools, you have to expose the rot, fully expose it this time. | ||
| And you have to demand, for example, the 14,000 hours of surveillance video. | ||
| Go collect all of Nancy Pelosi's, which she's hiding from the January 6th committee. | ||
| Get all the communications from everyone involved and then start Airing their dirty laundry, their emails, their texts to reporters. | ||
| Let's get all of that information. | ||
| They have to make this public, right? | ||
| They have to show the American people exactly every detail of the corruption of this agency. | ||
| We need to see how many informants, the low-life informants that this agency uses, the ones that they have involved in the Whitmer case. | ||
| Steve, I'll tell you, you would not want this guy dropping off, you know, a case of beer at your house, let alone them acting as FBI agents or informants of the government. | ||
| These are complete low-lifes. | ||
| They need to expose the people, not just at the top, not the Chris Rays or Jill Sanborns, but these agents too, who know that they're unaccountable. | ||
| They have to show this to the American people. | ||
| There was a poll that came out, the overwhelming majority of Republicans and half of independents do not trust this FBI. | ||
| You can't have a functioning country when the number one law enforcement agency is under legitimate, valid suspicion by its own citizens, and then they're turning their tools against American citizens. | ||
| It's not salvageable that people who take power need to not just go after it legislatively, but expose publicly the rot and corruption that is pervasive through that entire department. | ||
| Real quickly before you bounce, Ray Epps. | ||
| All of a sudden, Ray Epps is nobody, we don't know who Ray Epps is, never heard of Ray Epps, and now it comes out after Cruz makes a big deal. | ||
| Oh, we did talk to Ray Epps a couple of months ago, but he told us he had nothing to do with anything, so don't pay attention to Ray Epps. | ||
| He came in, we chatted with him. | ||
| What is that about, Julie Kelly? | ||
| I mean, it was just hilarious to watch the response yesterday. | ||
| So not only denying that he's an agent of a law enforcement agency, which of course, you know, Steve, he could be associated with any government agency. | ||
| He could be CIA. | ||
| He could be part of the military intelligence. | ||
| So he could have been there as a DNC plant. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| But what was even funnier is the idea of them downplaying Adam Kinzinger and all these journalists who I've been following for over a year, who have tried to destroy the lives of trespassers. | ||
| Suddenly white knighting for Ray Epps saying, well, he didn't go into the Capitol. | ||
| Well, you know, they can't charge everybody at one time that maybe they'll still get to him, you know, downplaying what he did. | ||
| Um, so either everyone is an insurrectionist from Trump down to the Indiana Memaw who walked in or, and then suddenly Ray Epps is, is okay. | ||
| I mean, the, the dichotomy there yesterday was, uh, not just revealing, but pretty entertaining too. | ||
| If they did, if they did interview him, wouldn't you think authorities would have interest given the videotape that's out there? | ||
| I mean, just logically, wouldn't they have some interest in this guy given directions or at least the videotape? | ||
| You said he looks like the instigator of this. | ||
| He's the instigator a number of times. | ||
| And I'll tell you what, he wasn't restricted areas in the Capitol. | ||
| He was towards the Capitol building. | ||
| He is in a location that other defendants were arrested and charged with trespassing for. | ||
| Why is Ray Epps not? | ||
| I'll tell you what else DOJ did today. | ||
| They superseded an indictment. | ||
| They put four defendants together who were at that breach, that first barrier, where Ray Epps whispers into the ear of a man named Ryan Samsel, who then overruns these bike racks and overruns a few police officers with a few other men. | ||
| They superseded that indictment today, tying four of these defendants together and said another defendant will be charged. | ||
| Is it Ray Epps? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But the timing of this is pretty suspicious. | ||
| So you would think that, and you know what? | ||
| Let's see Ray Epps' testimony then. | ||
| Let's see the transcript of his interview. | ||
| They're that confident, and now they're calling this a white supremacist conspiracy theory that Ray Epps was working at the behest of the government. | ||
| Release his testimony. | ||
| Let's see exactly what he told the January 6th committee. | ||
| Julie, I know you're here and you've been having meetings. | ||
| How do people follow you on social media? | ||
| Because you're breaking news 24-7. | ||
| How do people follow you? | ||
| I'm at Twitter, julie-kelly2, and then my book can be purchased on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and all of my work can be found at American Greatness and greatness.com. | ||
| By the way, the book, January 6, when we get to maybe next segment, put the cover up. | ||
| It's absolutely incredible. | ||
| It's been one of the drivers. | ||
| And you're right, those guys went home over Christmas and got an ear for it from the constituency. | ||
| That's why this audience is so powerful. | ||
| We've got to keep the pressure up. | ||
| Julie Kelly from American Greatness, thank you very much for joining us here in the War Room. | ||

| I'm Katie Turr. | ||
| New numbers today confirming no, it is not just you. | ||
| Everything is more expensive than it was a year ago. | ||
| Across the board, prices rose by 7% in 2021. | ||
| That is the fastest increase we've seen since Reagan was in office. | ||
| It costs more to eat bread, meat, fish and eggs are all up a whopping 12.5%. | ||
| A pound of bacon just over $5 last year, $6.50 today. | ||
| It costs more to sleep, rent and mortgages up 4%. | ||
| That means if you were paying $2,000 in rent every month, you might be looking at an $80 increase going forward. | ||
| mortgages up 4%. That means if you were paying $2,000 in rent every month, you might be looking at an $80 increase going forward. Almost $1,000 more for the entire year. It costs more to Used cars are up 37%. | ||
| A $20,000 car is now more than $27,000. | ||
| And it costs a lot more to drive it as well. | ||
| Gas prices are up 50% despite a dip in those costs at the end of last year. | ||
| All of this, as you well know, adds up, especially when salaries are not keeping up. | ||
| Take all of this inflation into account, and the average earnings by the hour, hourly earnings, actually fell. | ||
| You've been told not to worry about it, that these prices were just temporary, pandemic-driven disruptions, supply chain issues, stuff that will get worked out sooner, not later. | ||
| But some economists now worry these prices are here to stay. | ||
| And Senator Elizabeth Warren wondered if it was actually, at least partially, the fault of big business. | ||
| She asked Fed Chair Jerome Powell if they were using the pandemic as cover to pump up profits. | ||
| Does that increase in profit margins combined with greater market concentration in industry after industry suggest to you that some corporations may be passing along increased costs and, at the same time, charging more on top of that to fatten their profit margins? | ||
|

|
That could be right. | |
| It could also just be, though, that demand is incredibly strong and that you know, they're raising prices because they can. | ||
| And I'm not sure how hidden it is actually. | ||
| I mean, some of us actually expected this, that the inflation rate of increase would decelerate because some of the supply chain issues that Secretary Buttigieg mentioned just a few moments ago are beginning to ease. | ||
| I mentioned that poll that has just come out. | ||
| It shows just 33% of Americans support, approve, I should say, of President Biden's job right now. | ||
| Why do you think that is? | ||
| Do you think the White House needs to recalibrate as we head into this midterm year? | ||
| Here's what I think. | ||
| I think the overwhelming factor in this is the fact that Americans, after nearly two years of the pandemic, are feeling burdened and tired by it. | ||
| Let me just, well, let me think about that. | ||
| Why is he at 33%? | ||
| As Boris is going to walk us through, 33% is kind of a false number. | ||
| That's the best number in there, 33%. | ||
| That is lower than Richard Nixon when Richard Nixon walked from the White House to Marine One to fly out, catch Air Force One and go to San Clemente the day he resigned. | ||
| This is how pathetic Joe Biden is. | ||
| Let me guess, why do you think that is? | ||
| Because he's illegitimate, he's reckless, he's radical, he's incompetent. | ||
| It's a whole witch's brew. | ||
| Of why Biden's got us in this jam. | ||
| And the numbers are even worse. | ||
| By the way, the inflation numbers are worse. | ||
| The numbers the government are giving you are not totally accurate. | ||
| The numbers are actually far worse. | ||
| And the poll that Quinnipiac just came out with is absolutely brutal. | ||
| And that's not Trophagor. | ||

| Boris, let's start with inflation. | ||
| Have you ever seen numbers like this? | ||
| And MSNBC, they can't even spin it anymore. | ||
| They're actually just putting it out there. | ||
| They can't even, they try to come, oh, Elizabeth Warren, I think this may be companies passing on their costs to people, right? | ||
| They can't even put a straight face on it. | ||
| And it's only going to get worse. | ||
| It's only going to get worse. | ||
| It's only going to get worse. | ||
| Boris Epstein. | ||
| Steve, a thousand percent. | ||
| A great honor to be here for the second time today. | ||
| A very busy day, no doubt about it. | ||
| But the big number came out this morning that this is the worst inflation in 40 years. | ||
| In 40 years. | ||
| Since literally the year I was born, it has never been this bad. | ||
| And you pointed this out on the earlier show, that had been with two years of Volcker working. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| So, these really go back to Jimmy Carter numbers, and that 33-53 Quinnipiac poll is an absolute misnomer, and here's why. | ||
| As we went through yesterday in that YouGov Economist poll, the biggest issue, the biggest problem the Democrats have is the number with the independents on the economy. | ||
| And that number of independents that believe that our economy is excellent is a huge, absolutely mind-blowing Absolute show-stopping, two. | ||
| Two percent of independents in America believe that our economy is in excellent shape. | ||
| That is zero. | ||
| That's within the margin of error. | ||
| And that means that this administration has failed in a way that no administration has ever failed in American history. | ||
| And I'll go beyond it. | ||
| There have been few ruling entities in the history of the world, history of the world, That have failed worse than this. | ||
| Think about Louis XVI. | ||
| Think about Nicholas II in Russia, Louis XVI in France. | ||
| Think about Mad George in England. | ||
| This is the level that Joe Biden is at. | ||
| This is no longer comparable to James Buchanan. | ||
| God bless him. | ||
| James Buchanan, by the way, who's the biggest winner of the last year. | ||
| No longer the worst president in the history of this country. | ||
| I know we keep talking about it, but it is very important to have a bearing on history as we put in context just how terrible this is. | ||
| And here's the deal. | ||
| Elizabeth Warren actually sounds kind of credible sitting up there and hammering Powell. | ||
| You know who she sounds more credible than? | ||
| She sounds more credible than Janet Yellen, than Pete Buttigieg. | ||
| Okay, who's still either on or off his super secret paternity leave trying to breastfeed his kids. | ||
| The Jennifer Granholm, the Canadian lady who does no idea about our energy in this country, who's the energy secretary. | ||
| The fact of the matter is that Biden and his pathetic cronies Let me tie it, let me tie it, let me tie it to, let me tie it to this Mike Allen. | ||
| would disagree with everything Elizabeth Norma says. | ||
| But when Elizabeth Warren is sitting up there and taking it to Jerome Powell the way he deserves to be taken to. | ||
| Let me tie it to this Mike Allen. | ||
| Mike Allen came with a piece last night and said, Joe Biden's agenda is dead. | ||
| Axios is the corporateocracy's newsletter in town. | ||
| It goes everywhere. | ||
| Everybody leverages off it, takes it right away and runs with the whole city. | ||
| It's the conventional wisdom. | ||
| The Biden administration is dead. | ||
| That's from Mike Allen. | ||
| Said, build back broke, dead. | ||
| The federal government stealing the election apparatus, dead. | ||
| And you go to this poll today, the Q poll, Mike Allen was saying the independence on approval of the president's performance, not just economics, overall independence, 25% approval. | ||
| We told you back a year ago, when you get to the two-hander, when you get a two in front of it, he has zero political capital. | ||
| This is why Stacey Abrams was not on the podium yesterday. | ||
| She actually wants to be governor of Georgia. | ||
| And she understands she's there with this loser. | ||
| Now we run the tables on these guys. | ||
| Show them no mercy whatsoever. | ||
| Mitch McConnell, you shouldn't bail them out for a second. | ||
| These guys are on life support. | ||
| Mike Allen in the establishment media saying you're dead. | ||
| MSNBC all day long is freaking out on the inflation numbers. | ||
| The polls, we thought the polls couldn't get any worse from November. | ||
| They're getting worse every week, Boris. | ||
| There hasn't been a poll that's tipped up. | ||
| There's not a poll that MSNBC or Axios could point to and say, oh, well, look, there's a little bit of a rebound. | ||
| It is all getting worse, worse, worse. | ||
| We looked at the Reuters-Ipsos poll that in December actually had somehow Biden above water. | ||
| Now he's crashed. | ||
| And just today, Joe Biden apparently tried to stop in and visit Mitch McConnell, and McConnell was unavailable. | ||
| Okay, forget the names. | ||
| Forget the personalities. | ||
| The guy who's an illegitimate, but the current occupant of the Oval Office stops in to see the Senate Minority Leader. | ||
| And the Minority Leader says, Nah, sorry, buddy. | ||
| Yeah, just too busy. | ||
| Too busy. | ||
| That is unimaginable. | ||
| Forget other administrations. | ||
| That's unimaginable. | ||
| And what does that speak to? | ||
| It speaks to the complete He's not quite there, but he's almost becoming absolutely and totally irrelevant. | ||
| And that leadership board is completely being filled by, we know who, by President Donald J. Trump. | ||
| He's coming out here in Arizona. | ||
| I can't walk two yards in Arizona without someone coming up to me and saying how excited they are. | ||
| The Democrats have got to do something. | ||
| They're going to start making some moves because they're not all, the whole ship, they're now going to lose the Senate, the House. | ||
| By majorities, you're not going to be able to unwind this. | ||
| I want to go to redistricting because there's good news because of this policy. | ||
| Ten more seconds there, Steve. | ||
| This is getting to the point where not just the Democrats may lose an election, or even a hundred seats a hundred years. | ||
| This is getting to the point where this may be the absolute ending and death knell of the Democrat Party, and they actually have to rebrand and come out as something else. | ||
| This may be the end of a party, and very few parties have ended in American politics, but when they've ended, they've ended for good. | ||
| I think it's quite brilliant. | ||
| I think I can see that coming. | ||
| Because the progressives right now are saying, hey, it's the centrists' fault. | ||
| Let them have their civil war. | ||
| Media never wants a call. | ||
| They always talk about us fighting. | ||
| The real fight's going to come over there, because they're all getting blown out. | ||
| And the ones that are not going to get blown out are going to get stripped of their committee assignments. | ||
| So this is going to wander around here with absolutely no power, nothing to say, nothing to do. | ||
| Redistricting. | ||
| How are we going to lead to this 100-seat victory? | ||
| We've got to make sure everybody's focused on this. | ||
| Again, it is such an honor to be here today specifically, Steve, to talk to the War Room Posse, the MAGA movement, and the leadership of President Trump. | ||
| We've put our shoulder to the wheel, the Posse has put their shoulder to the wheel, and I have great news to report specifically in Tennessee. | ||
| In Tennessee, we've talked about Tennessee, the necessity to break up Nashville in order to completely bring in MAGA, and that's been done in Nashville, in Tennessee, as of just yesterday. | ||
| The news came across the wires just yesterday. | ||
| So, major win. | ||
| Major win. | ||
| For the War Room Posse in Tennessee, a major win in North Carolina, where a court said that the districts as drawn can stand. | ||
| Now, coming across the news just in the last few minutes, apparently in Ohio there's been a court decision against the districts as they've been drawn. | ||
| Mark Elias, the evil genius, continues to not give up, as Republicans should never give up. | ||
| You know, these evil geniuses, they're terrible, they're horrible human beings, and they steal elections, but they come in hot, and they come in strong. | ||
| Hold it, hold it. | ||
| I want to say one thing on that before we go to break in Ohio. | ||
| Mark Elias, Office of Senate Tweet, said, hey, make sure Steve Bannon knows. | ||
| Mark, trust me, we got a whole team that does nothing but watch. | ||
| We watch every move. | ||
| And by the way, we'll give you a hat tip when you deserve a hat tip. | ||
| You're evil, right? | ||
| You're trying to destroy this country. | ||
| But you're tough and you fight. | ||
| And this is what I like about Elias. | ||
| They went to Ohio and they dug in there. | ||
| This is what we have to do. | ||
| We have to dig in like Mark Elias is digging in. | ||
| These people don't quit. | ||
| They're relentless. | ||
| That's what an opposition is. | ||
| I've got no problem with that. | ||
| No tears and no whining. | ||
| What we've got to get is tough. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to come back with Boris. | ||
| We're going to talk more about redistricting. | ||
| Remember, amateurs talk about strategy. | ||
| Professionals talk about logistics. | ||
| This is all the nitty-gritty, the undergirding of a 100-seat sweep come this November. | ||

| We've already seen major progress, right? | ||
| We asked Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg the question on so many consumers' minds. | ||
| When do you think the delays are going to end? | ||
| Well, what we know is as long as there is a pandemic, it will be creating disruptions. | ||
| Now the good news is we found a lot of steps that we can take, including in the short term, that have made a huge difference. | ||
| Making sure that empty containers don't pile up getting in the way, including holding the owners or shippers of those containers accountable if they let them accumulate. | ||
| He's talking about the $100 a day fine imposed on containers that overstay their welcome. | ||
| The Transportation Department has also announced $241 million in new grant money to modernize port facilities in 19 states. | ||
| It continues to deteriorate from there. | ||
| He blames the fact that there's no drivers on something else other than the mandates. | ||
| I wanted to show you because this shows you their lack of seriousness. | ||
| They have Alfred E. Buttigieg. | ||
| Alfred E. Newman. | ||
| What, me worry? | ||
| It's kid the kid the kids out there like he's on he's on some field trip from school. | ||
| Gosh I'm at San Pedro. | ||
| Look at all those ships. | ||
| Look at these containers This is what the most powerful economy on earth the most powerful nation in the history of the earth. | ||
| Think about it You've got this clown out there at San Pedro looking at some ships right in the harbor in LA Harbor at Long Beach This is not even serious anymore. | ||
| What, me worry? | ||
| Pete, go back. | ||
| Go back and go on parental leave. | ||
| I think it's better. | ||
| Boris Epstein. | ||
| Boris, you don't even have to hit him. | ||
| I just had to show that because this is a big thing. | ||
| This is going to make people feel so bad. | ||
| This, you're right. | ||
| I'm buying into your theory. | ||
| You came out with a verse. | ||
| This is the end of the Democratic Party. | ||
| And not just that, they've been touting this guy for three weeks. | ||
| This is their great hope. | ||
| This is the great hope in 2024. | ||
| You notice when Hillary Clinton read those things, all of a sudden Hillary Clinton says, it's time to make my move, right? | ||
| Let's get a new hairdo. | ||
| It's time to make my move. | ||
| If that's your competition, Boris. | ||
| Hillary Clinton's getting ready to get her brand new face on. | ||

|
You want to be really scared? | |
| Here's what that clip reminded me of. | ||
| As a kid, At the absolute crumbling of the Soviet Union. | ||
| That is what the news pieces looked like in the late 80s. | ||
| In the Soviet Union. | ||
| Oh, everything's great! | ||
| Let's show a bunch of pictures! | ||
| And let's have some kind of function! | ||
| Officials! | ||
| Officials doing official stuff! | ||
| We're super official. | ||
| We got a suit on and they're in a mask, by the way, when they're walking outside, but not in a mask standing outside. | ||
| So I'm sure there's a lot of reasoning behind that. | ||
| But in all seriousness, I'm not kidding. | ||
| As I was watching that clip, what hit me was the fall of the Soviet Union, late 80s, 88, 89, 90. | ||
| When everything was completely broken, and you know what was broken? | ||
| The supply chain. | ||
| When people ask, as a kid, before you ran away to the glory of America, and the promise of America, then in the early 90s, you know, was it, did you just not have money? | ||
| Could you not buy anything? | ||
| And my response has always been, it wasn't even that you had nothing to buy something with, it's that there was nothing to buy. | ||
| It's that the shelves were bare. | ||
| And I've written this for Newsweek, that is the parallel. | ||
| The abundance of America, The promise of America, the richness of America has been murdered, has been massacred by Joe Biden, by Pete Buttigieg, by Janet Yellen. | ||
| And that is why we've got to win 100 seats and stay in power for 100 years. | ||
| And the Democrats, as I said last segment, I absolutely believe that if we do this right and we Finish the hammer. | ||
| If we finish the work on redistricting in Missouri and Florida, which are the two big outstanding, Missouri can be no more, no more than one Democrat seat left, seven MAGA. | ||
| Florida, five new MAGA seats. | ||
| If we do that, we have a chance to bring our country back and keep these idiots. | ||
| And these anti-American feckless weaklings out of power. | ||
| If we don't, get ready for more segments like that. | ||
| Oh yeah, we're charging 100 bucks each. | ||
| Oh, I wonder how the big trucking companies and the big shipping companies are passing on that cost. | ||
| Hmm, let me think. | ||
| Inflation. | ||
| You see, no conspiracies. | ||
| There are no drivers. | ||
| The truckers are all truckers. | ||
| The vaccine mandates. | ||
| That's why there's no drivers. | ||
| If you walk into a store today with the kids and you're paying, instead of $5, $6.50 a pound for bacon, which is what, 33%? | ||
| And you're up 12% on beef. | ||
| That's supposed to make you feel better? | ||
| There's somebody in the White House, the Democratic Party, thinks that's going to make America feel better. | ||
| Pete Buttigieg. | ||
| Alfred E. Buttigieg. | ||
| That's going to make you feel better. | ||
| What? | ||
| Me worry? | ||
| Goofy guy wandering around there in Long Beach? | ||
| Oh, look at that. | ||
| There are big ships out here. | ||
| Big container ships. | ||
| Then he says, you know, the container ships, really, the problem is a thousand miles away, so intellectually on top of things. | ||
| Boris, how do people, this is, I think you're right, I like your thesis. | ||
| I think it is the end of the Democratic Party. | ||
| They've talked about it, this is the end of the Democratic Party, it's shattering around you, and here's what's so beautiful about it. | ||
| A party hack like Joe Biden. | ||
| An illegitimate regime centered around a hapless, feckless old man like that is a perfect way to end with a whimper instead of a bang. | ||
| Boris, how do people get to you in your newsletter? | ||
