Well, the virus has now killed more than 100 people in China, and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
So 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.
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 a hundred 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.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room Pandemic.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, we're coming up on our second anniversary show on War Room Pandemic, the show that followed War Room Impeachment, and I want to bring in my co-host from those days.
By the way, the third year of this pandemic.
It's going to be a massive rally on Sunday.
I want to put it up now across all our chat rooms.
A massive rally on Sunday in Washington, D.C.
starting at 11.30 at the Washington Monument and heading towards the Lincoln Memorial will be a whole host of speakers after that but 1130 it starts in Washington D.C.
to defeat the mandates and of course Washington D.C.
like right now it's like East Berlin because they put in the most draconian policies about vaccinations anywhere.
Real quickly I want to go to Columbia and the CEO of Getter Jason Miller used to be our co-host here.
Jason we had we had Bernd Bergkamp, Todd Bensman.
Todd Bensman was down on the Mexican-Guatemalan border All he's talking about then, there's Mexican officials, so how many, and they had everybody from Sub-Saharan Africa, to Venezuela, to people from Asia, the Middle East, blowing up through the Darien Gap.
Tell us about your trip to Colombia, and what can you update us on?
jason miller
Absolutely, and Steve, thanks again for having me on.
So I tell you, Colombia is really the linchpin when you talk about the entry point from South America up to Central America, and then obviously going all the way to the United States.
It is so pivotal for everything from democracy to fighting the CCP.
So yesterday had the opportunity to meet with Juan Lozano, who's the chairman of RCN.
That's effectively the News Corp of Colombia.
And I would say that he's kind of the Roger Ailes type figure.
And he has blessed us through doing television advertising and doing editorial boards and things of that nature.
We went to the app unveiling of Senator Maria Fernanda Cabal, who's very much the spirit of the anti-communism, all the Red Scare and everything we're seeing here in South America with the CCP and everyone else.
Steve, listen to this.
We had 20,000 people tuning in live to watch the live stream of her press conference.
Another 20,000 who watched overnight, so 40,000 people saw it.
What this all resulted in yesterday, Was a 1000% increase in signups in the country of Colombia, 77% increase in user activity.
Today, we have meetings with multiple presidential candidates.
Their presidential election is coming up here in May.
Before that, they have their senators and local offices.
They're up for election in March.
So Colombia, in addition to Brazil, very much a center of activity and anti-communism fighting power that's going on here.
The one other group I'd mentioned, Steve, I think is really important.
I got together last night with the folks from Rumbo Libertad.
They are the Venezuelan dissidents who are now living here in Bogota.
Freedom fighters, very much anti-Maduro.
They were talking about some of the horrors of what's happening to them a few years ago and what's happening now in Caracas and other places around the country.
And Steve, we take freedom for granted so much in America.
Until you've had someone in your family who's been hauled off and beaten and hit with a baton or jailed indefinitely, it's really hard for us as Americans to relate.
steve bannon
Well, I think it's getting closer and closer to really, by the way, I was one of the, and the staff here are part of the people watching it live.
Amazing, Guetta does these things live, it's incredible.
Also, I want to make sure everybody understands, every town's a border town because of fentanyl and the crime and the illegal, you know, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, up in Scranton, they're shipping the illegal aliens from El Paso, the flying men, the dead of night.
Every town in America is a border town.
Well, the defense of the southern border starts in Columbia.
That's why this election in May is so important.
One, the CCP, Chinese Communist Party, looks at Latin America as Liebensraum, their living space.
They're trying to roll up every country, particularly Brazil and Colombia, the two they're focused on.
One of the reasons they're focused on Colombia, that's kind of the gateway into Central America, and then up right through Mexico to the southern border.
The defense of the southern border of the United States starts in Colombia, and that's why it's so important.
That's one of the reasons Jason's down there.
Jason, the thing's on fire right now, the engagement.
I've never seen anything like it.
I know from my personal site, just putting up information all night long, and it's shared by everybody.
It's just been incredible.
In fact, Mediaite last night did a thing, not from the podcast, they took it from, when I put it up on Getter afterwards, they actually snatched it from Getter.
So great job.
Four million people.
How many active users was, almost a million active users now on a daily basis?
jason miller
Exactly.
It's right now.
It's about seven hundred thousand.
So just slightly off of that last week, we're easily a million.
And just to put this in context, Steve, we've crossed the three million mark right around New Year's.
We're now almost right about four and a half million.
So we've grown by 50 percent in two weeks.
That is nothing short of remarkable.
And here's the buried Everything's worked great with the platform.
We have a million people watch President Trump's rally, literally a million.
I think I said a half a million when I talked to you previously, but it's up to a full million between Right Side and Real America's Voice and Newsmax.
And the other thing, Steve, we're going to have rally coverage at the anti-lockdown, anti-mandate march in Washington on Sunday.
We're going to be there.
We'll have folks from Getter who will be live streaming.
You can watch it on Getter.
steve bannon
Yeah, we're going to be doing special broadcasting with that crew.
This is very important, this mandate.
They're planning on 100,000 to 200,000 people, so this is very important.
Jason, incredible job, a million.
And I just want to say one other thing.
It's the Twitter killer.
The stock price of Twitter, I think they've lost almost 50% of their value since the loss of Getter.
So, fantastic job.
How did they get to you on Getter?
What's your handle?
jason miller
Absolutely.
At Jason Miller in D.C.
You can find me there on Getter, posting pretty regularly.
We have a great team here and really proud of what we're putting together in Bogota and in Colombia, also in Brazil, and all around the world.
We're about half U.S., half outside the U.S., so this truly is an international platform for freedom.
steve bannon
No, it's amazing.
And you go in there, you'll get like a live news feed every day.
Every patriot, every populist, every nationalist should be on that site.
Jason, thank you very much.
jason miller
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Okay, we got big breaking news on this 6th January situation.
I want to bring in Julie Kelly, the great reporter from American Greatness.
A blockbuster story she put up this morning.
It's almost, I can't, my mind blows up when I look at this Michigan thing.
Walk us through this explosive news you've got coming out of this Michigan case, quote-unquote, the kidnapping, quote-unquote, of Governor Whitmer, which all happened right before the 2020 election, a couple weeks before.
Walk us through the latest massive development, ma'am.
julie kelly
So the defense attorneys, there are five federal defendants in this conspiracy to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, which was concocted and executed by the FBI.
Of course, the defense attorneys file motion after motion.
They have built over the past few months a very compelling and convincing case of FBI entrapment.
And so the latest motion, which is a stunner, the defense is asking for immunity, not for their clients, But for the FBI agents and informants to testify exactly what went down, who they were taking their orders from, how they orchestrated, paid for all of the surveillance trips, reconnaissance trips, etc.
And who was calling the shots behind the scenes.
We know, as Darren Beatty has explained, that the man in charge of the Detroit FBI field office Who's agents and informants really were responsible for this kidnapping caper was then moved to the D.C.
field office in the middle of October 2020, just several weeks before January 6th.
As you know, there's no coincidences.
So now the top agents and one of the key informants has been taken off the government's witness list.
The trial starts in March.
So the government won't be calling them as witnesses.
So now the defense is going to call them.
When you say concocted by the FBI, what do you mean?
That's a pretty loaded term.
to offer immunity to these agents and informants so they can get a full vetting of their entrapment case against the government. When you say concocted by the FBI what do you mean that's a pretty loaded term what do you mean by that Julie Kelly? There were at least a dozen FBI agents and informants who were involved in this plot what they really did and based on the recording and a lot of the motions is entrap these men who are basically just I
mean they were saying pretty stupid things on social media And of course, we know the FBI was surveilling some of these alleged militia groups dating back to even 2019.
There's some evidence that they were already infiltrating or observing these Facebook social media posts.
But then you got agents and informants involved in March of 2020.
They helped organize a siege of the Michigan Capitol building in April 2020 that was basically a dress rehearsal for January 6th.
And you had paid informants, the top informant was paid at least $50,000 compensated by the FBI.
You had another informant, and this is the criminal that they've taken off the witness list.
He paid for and organized a militia conference, training weapons missions, reconnaissance missions to stake out her cottage, her vacation cottage.
These men were not capable of putting anything together.
In fact, the lead defendant, Adam Fox, is referred to as Captain Autism by his co-defendants.
He was living in the basement with his dog of a friend's vacuum repair shop.
There was no way they could have put this together.
And so the defense attorneys, since really August, July and August, they have 258 examples of how the agents and informants put this plan together and even convinced the defendants to go along with it, even after some of the defendants said, no, we don't want to do this.
And they kept stringing them along.
steve bannon
This is why you know it's important.
This was non-stop, when it came up in October of 2020, this was non-stop.
You couldn't, this was wall-to-wall, MSNBC, Rachel Maddow had her new Russiagate.
All over this.
Poor Gretchen Whitmer, Gretchen Whitmer was going to ride this all the way to her, to be not just re-elected as Governor of Michigan, to ride it all the way to the White House.
That the evil MAGA white supremacist tried to kidnap her.
Right?
Now it's memory hold.
There's not a lot of coverage of this trial.
BuzzFeed did two articles and Chris Hayes was so shocked.
You could see he was going off message.
They shut that down.
There's no more BuzzFeed going on Chris Hayes and MSNBC.
It goes too explosive.
I just want to make sure people in this audience, and particularly globally, understand.
Give me the number of FBI agents or informants that are part of this Compared to, I think there was originally 18, now there's 26.
But I think of that, are there a dozen FBI agents and informants in this collection?
julie kelly
At least a dozen informants and undercover agents.
And then, of course, you have the agents who are handling it, the top three who have been removed from the case, as I noted.
There are 13 defendants.
You had six originally in the federal indictment.
One of them has pleaded guilty and has been sentenced to, I believe, six years in prison.
So you've got five there.
You've got another seven who have faced state charges related to it.
But the top informant is a convicted felon who committed at least two crimes while he was organizing the Whitmer case.
The government has come out and now accused this man, Stephen Robeson, of being a double agent.
And so the government is now trying to discredit their own informant This is the guy who orchestrated, as I said, all these events where they could get photographic evidence.
Of the defendants with guns and staking out houses and etc.
So he, now you have the government trying to discredit him.
steve bannon
And the defense lawyers have asked for full immunity for all these agents and informants so they can testify basically how they concocted this plot under the direction of the FBI.
Is that basically the gist of it?
unidentified
That is exactly the gist of it.
julie kelly
And I'm sure that they want to know who was, where the marching orders were coming from.
steve bannon
And of course this, I'm sure this has nothing, this will have no spillover whatsoever to January 6th.
I'm sure it's going to have no spillover whatsoever.
Hermetically sealed up there in Michigan.
Julie, how can people, you're reporting on this is amazing.
We've got it up on all the platforms.
We're going to push it hard.
How do people get to you, ma'am?
julie kelly
Well, first, you can hear a lot about this in my book, January 6th, How Democrats Use the Capital of Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right.
And, of course, all my work can be found at amgreatness.com.
And I'm on Twitter quite a bit, Julie underscore Kelly, too, and on Getter at Julie Kelly.
steve bannon
Julie, amazing work, and thank you for carving out time.
I know you're completely slammed right now, but this piece actually made my head blow up.
Thank you, Julie Kelly, the great Julie Kelly from American Greatness, and just doing incredible work.
A laboring oar.
And she's just doing incredible, incredible work.
We're going to have her back on later in the week and with Darren Beatty also to focus on these indictments and what's going on in the 6th of January.
Okay, short commercial break.
Beijing, the supply chains, what's actually going on in mainland China.
How it's going to impact your life and the whole situation around the Olympics.
We're going to have Ben Harnwell, who broke this story, going to join us.
And Royce White is going to pitch in about this CEO of a hedge fund that's supposed to be for social justice.
Maybe not so much.
unidentified
next in the war room War room Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room.
Pandemic.

steve bannon

Okay, I want to bring you now Bo Hines down Tar Heel in North Carolina.
Bo, this is where I'm confused.
We do registering every day.
I'm confused about North Carolina.
We got Patriots down there fighting to make sure we get the right map.
Where in the hell are you running?
What district are you going to be in, brother?
unidentified
That's a great question.
I don't even know if I can answer that for you right now.
I think that if you're a candidate or even a member of Congress in North Carolina, you'd be lying to voters if you could tell them what district you're going to be running in.
I mean, we've been going through this process for Months at this point, the GA presented us with maps that appear to be constitutional, but the appellate court just affirmed that ruling, but we'll see what the Supreme Court does.
I just hope that they grow a spine and actually give us maps that are fair and constitutional.
steve bannon
Well tell me, more importantly, because I know eventually this thing will get worked out and we're on this redistricting every day.
Tell us, why are you running?
What do you want to accomplish and why are you saying I'm going to dedicate my life to this?
Walk us through it.
unidentified
Yeah, we know I come from a family of entrepreneurs, and we've always been politically active, politically acute, but we never actually involved ourselves in the political process.
You know, my parents grew up as farmers in rural Indiana.
This is the greatest country in the world, and it gave them an opportunity to thrive here.
And I want to make sure that everyone in this country has the opportunity to succeed.
I think the MAGA movement pushes that forward.
President Trump set forth policies and set forth his agenda that created a new wave, a new type of candidate.
Outsiders that were not just part of these political dynasties or political legacies.
People that actually wanted to get things done for the American people and that's what I plan to do as well.
steve bannon
So how does that translate to policies?
When you sit there and talk to the good folks down in the Tar Heel State, what are their top two or three priorities that if you go to Congress they want you to implement?
What are they?
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, for one, they want you to protect their rights, that's first and foremost.
They want you to protect their First Amendment right to speak openly and honestly.
They want you to protect their First Amendment right to speak openly and honestly on public media platforms like Twitter or Facebook, different things like that, actually reigning in big tech.
They want you to protect their Second Amendment right to bear arms and protect themselves, their families, and to defend against a tyrannical government.
But they also want to see a secure border.
They want less immigration.
I think that's something we have to talk about as Republicans and acknowledge as this new populist wave of candidates arises, is that, you know, ultimately, this is the greatest country in the world.
We can be very selective and picky about who we want to come into this country.
We have to make sure these people are properly vetted and want to accept, you know, our way of life.
They care about America and the way that we've done things here for the past 200 or so years.
steve bannon
You know, by the way, because of a lot of focus, you know, President Trump did well in North Carolina.
But what about this upcoming the 22 midterms?
How are you working to ensure that we're going to get that that we got the right people that are making sure that this vote count goes right and it's not gonna be screwed up by machines or mail-in ballots or anything like that?
How is Bo Hines working on that?
unidentified
Well, we have to keep the full court pressed in the state legislation to make sure they're actually enacting laws that hold people accountable.
I mean, one, we have to have voter ID in our country.
It's unacceptable that we don't have that.
We have to get rid of mail-in balloting.
It's an absolute joke.
We need signatures, even if there is going to be mail-in balloting, or for some reason someone can't get to a balloting location.
But I mean, when it boils down to it, we have to make sure that we're having our eyes on the ball here, making sure Democrats can't do to us what they did in 2020.
But moreover, as candidates, we have to be talking about this consistently on the campaign trail.
I mean, people are super frustrated with what happened in 2020.
We can't let it happen again.
Obviously, election integrity is at the core of our democracy.
If we don't have fair elections, we don't have a republic anymore.
So, you know, we're continuing to stay focused on that.
But, I mean, moreover, we just have to make sure that voters understand they have to look at their state legislators, too, and ask of them to pass laws that ensure that we can't get cheated out of another election cycle.
steve bannon
This midterm, as we've talked about, is so vitally important.
And now that the numbers are cratering, the economy is going to crater around it.
The Democrats have put a huge focus on North Carolina.
What are you going to do to make sure that the progressive left cannot, particularly of all those big universities down there and the big corporations are all down in a lot of these banking institutions, a lot of tech companies moving into Carolina because of the
infrastructure laid out by the citizens with their tax dollars for these universities and and let's be blunt you know Barrick you know when this thing comes up and I want I've told the people down in Carolina this from day one the University of North Carolina's got a lot of problems down there with this guy Barrick okay we're gonna get we're getting to the bottom of all of it and gain of function how are you Bo gonna make sure that this state does not flip and become controlled by put the progressive left Democrats Well, Steve, I think that we need new faces.
unidentified
We need fresh voices.
We need different types of candidates.
You know, I'm a young guy.
I think I appeal to a lot broader base than our traditional 65 year old white man that's running our party for a long time.
You know, that being said, we want to make sure that people were recruiting into our party.
We want them to buy into the MAGA agenda.
I mean, that's what I'm representing.
And I think that when we present that from a different messenger, it's going to be very well received.
You know, I think that, you know, this generation below millennials is actually more conservative leaning than the one that I grew up in.
So we have to capitalize on that.
We have to make sure that our party's attractive.
You know, it's okay to be cool and be a Republican, but moreover, it's okay to be cool and be a conservative.
And we have to show people that on a day-to-day basis.
steve bannon
Bo, how do people find out more about you?
How do they find out about the campaign and how do they find out about you on social media?
unidentified
Yeah, you can visit our website at bo4nc.com.
You can follow us on Twitter at boheinz or follow us on Instagram at boheinznc.
steve bannon
Bo Heinz, thank you very much for joining us today in the world.
We appreciate it.
unidentified
Thanks, dude.
steve bannon
Let's make sure everybody goes and checks this young man out.
I want to go.
OK, we're going to get to Ben Harnwell in Rome talking about China.
We got the the we got the warrior, the great warrior Royce White.
And he's all worked up.
He's he's going to join us here.
He's got a couple of three things to say.
But I got to go down to I got to go to Ben Burquam down the border.
Ben, give us an update.
Got some breaking news down there.
Some of the great reporting Real America's Voice, top investigative report.
They got so many great ones.
But the armor piercing shell is Ben Burquam.
Ben, what do you got for us?
ben bergquam
Thank you, sir.
It's an absolute honor to work with you.
I just have to say that.
I know I've said it before, but it's an honor everything you say.
I spoke to Brandon Judd this morning.
I messaged him.
We've been following what's going on down here for a long time.
I'm in Acuna, Mexico now.
I'll be in La Jolla later on this afternoon.
And I've been getting reports from Border Patrol agents from across the border asking them about the Remain in Mexico policy.
This is the policy, the most effective policy that President Trump introduced to stop the invasion that Obama started, and that many of the Republicans had started.
Joe Biden pretended to implement that policy back into effect about a month ago, and I got word this morning, got a message from Brandon Judd, and I just want to read that to you.
I messaged him and said, I've been hearing from Border Patrol agents that the Romania-Mexico policy that Joe Biden has reintroduced is a joke.
Can you make a comment?
He said, yes, what you've been hearing is correct.
Only a handful of people are being enrolled per day in El Paso and San Diego.
The administration can't allow the program To work because it will prove President Trump's policies were effective and that the root cause of illegal immigration is their policies.
Catch and release can be controlled but it's based on the policies.
This is this is breaking news.
Joe Biden, the remaining Mexico policy has not been implemented.
It is not being implemented and it will not be implemented because the key is they want the invasion that is happening into our country.
This is a globalist Marxist takeover of America It's tied to everything that you've been talking about all morning, going back to Beijing and the CCP and Fauci and everything else that we've seen here.
The left in America, the radical left, Antifa, everything that we're seeing, it's all connected.
It's all tied together.
These are just a few of the ideas that I picked up just from around where I'm standing right now.
I've seen five waves of people cross behind me.
The invasion is continuing and it's because of Joe Biden and the Democrats.
They've invited it to happen.
They've invited the undermining of America.
steve bannon
Yeah, a couple things.
Remember, Brandon Judd is the head of the Union of the Border Patrol.
This is not just some grundoon or some guy yelling at a TV in a bar.
ben bergquam
That's correct.
steve bannon
That's why I went to him.
He's a major player.
So when he's telling you that Biden, and remember, Joe Biden didn't wake up one day and say, hey, to protect the country, maybe we should re-implement President Trump's magnificent smart policy of remaining in Mexico.
It was a federal court that told him it was unconstitutional what he was doing, that he had to do it.
They're not sitting there going, let's help the country and do this.
They're being ordered by a judge and what Brandon Judd is telling you and Ben Burquam is telling you is that they're lying to the courts, they're lying to the American people.
Once again, this whole thing, this whole scam with this illegitimate regime that's trying to destroy this country.
Ben Burquam.
ben bergquam
That's exactly right.
This was a court order.
It wasn't a policy choice that they made.
A court order that they are required to follow and they are breaking their oath once again in not following it.
But it just ties back to everything that we know them to be and it's just a continuation of all of that.
It's not going to get any better and if you live in America and you're living under one of these tyrannical dictatorships like New York and Washington DC, you've been talking about that, With the mandates.
The mask mandates.
They're pretending.
They're destroying our economy.
They're destroying your business.
They're destroying your livelihoods.
While they're still staying rich.
While Fauci's staying rich.
But they're allowing this to happen.
They are absolute frauds.
steve bannon
Yep, and you see that from Michael Yones reporting down in the Darien Gap.
We've got Todd Bensman down on the border of southern Mexico with Guatemala.
Jason Miller's in Columbia on the other side of the Darien Gap.
It's got 25,000 of the Mexicans now are also doing this, what they call the Ann Operation, that they just spread it out because there are many members of their governments assisting in this with the cartels.
This is a scam.
Elections have consequences.
Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
You can't see more than on the southern border.
It's going to be one of the top two or three first articles of impeachment of Joe Biden.
Real quickly, how did it get to you on social media?
Real America's Voice, Ben, how did they follow you?
ben bergquam
Real America's Voice, of course, FrontlineAmerica.com and on all social media, at Ben Berquam.

And we're going to update tomorrow, I think it is, not tonight, tomorrow we're going to get Mike back in here about trying to de-bank him, so we're going to get to all that.
I want to go now to Rome and our head of our international, Ben Harnwell.
Ben, you kind of broke this, you've been breaking the story about China, now everybody's covering it.
Just give us an update, because Posobiec tweeted out a CNN story last night, one in the middle of the night, a person came down with Omicron in an office building 15 miles from the Olympics in northern Beijing, and the whole city is like totally freaked out.
What do we know, sir?
ben harnwell
Yeah, well basically this is what we reported on on Saturday, that one person had been identified with At that point, a then undisclosed variant of COVID.
It's now being clarified that it is indeed Omicron.
This is a lady who worked in an office building sorting out the mail.
And therefore, not only has her residential block been totally sealed off, and this is a residential block, lest we forget, that is only five, 15 minutes by car away from the Olympic Park.
But the tower block where she worked, the office complex, From one moment to the next, with zero notice, was closed and sealed with the workers, still inside.
And the excuse of the CCP is that, obviously, because they're trying to make it clear that this isn't a community infection, this is externally imported in.
They said, well, because this lady was involved with sorting out the mail, she therefore got the Omicron virus via some mail that came in from Canada.
Now this has obviously been roundly rejected by a whole swathe of independent scientists.
And Fortune Magazine has a great analysis on this.
And they said, Fortune Magazine, said exactly what we've been saying all the way along.
This virus in Beijing came from Tianjin.
Tianjin is the port that our regular viewers will remember.
We've been indicating this for about 10 days.
It's on the port, on the doorstep of Beijing.
And we said it's only a matter of time.
And now that's the case.
At the moment, we're still waiting for fresh updates on the numbers.
steve bannon
And CNN is, CNBC, excuse me, is reporting that the next big debacle in the American economy is, wait for it, the shutting down of these ports in China because of this virus, that the CCP is not being upfront or transparent about what's going on.
Zero Hedge is calling it the mother of all supply chain crises.
Is upon us.
Ben, hang right there.
We got more to do with you, particularly in Germany and also about the Guardian's coverage of Joe Biden's collapse, his illegitimate regime's collapse.
Just stay right there for me.
I want to do a cold open.
I got the great Royce White's going to join us.
Can we play?
Can we play the tee up to Royce White?
chamath palihapitiya
Nobody cares about what's happening to the Uyghurs, okay?
You bring it up because you really care, and I think it's nice that you care.
The rest of us don't care.
I'm just telling you a very hard ugly truth, okay?
Of all the things that I care about, yes, it is below my line.
unidentified
Okay?
chamath palihapitiya
Of all the things that I care about, it is below my line.
Again, I'm not even sure that China is a dictatorship the way that you want to call it that.
unidentified
Again, I think a country that's in the name.
chamath palihapitiya
Look, you have to understand, Jason, there are a set of checks and balances here on China that, you know, at the end of the day, I don't think that I have the moral absolutism to judge China.
And I would say that when NATO is silent, the United Nations is silent, all of Western Europe is silent, and America is effectively silent, that this issue may be small data points being extrapolated in a way to create a narrative that may be not be true.
And if it is true, Jason, there is a responsibility for those body politics to do something because that is the early warning signal that the rest of the world uses to say, okay, hold on, let me reprioritize my list of things.
So I guess what I'm saying is I am not going to be an armchair journalist on this topic, nor am I going to be the armchair human rights advocate for the world, because I just don't know.
I can focus on the things that I know about, build the things that I know about, and if something really does get red light status, Then other parties will do something.
And again, I just want to be clear.
NATO is silent.
United Nations is silent.
America is silent.
A press release doesn't change the actual technical posture on these topics.
unidentified
OK.
If your position is that human rights matters to you, if government, large government organizations or politicians give you the green light to care about.
The Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee announcing just a few hours ago what the games are going to look like.
And listen to this.
Tickets for next month's games.
They're not going to be sold to members of the public.
They're going to be given out by the Chinese government.
steve bannon
We're going to have to do Haley Jackson later because this is about the details of it.
I've got to deal with this little scumbag and why the NBA has not bounced this guy.
This is a disgrace to the United States of America, this scumbag.
People don't understand, this guy runs a social justice hedge fund.
Every pension fund, we're going to get down to the bottom, every state pension fund has got to take their money out today.
This guy is a dangerous scumbag.
I want to bring in Royce White, the man.
Royce White has jeopardized his professional career about the stand he took on the Uyghurs and the stand he took on freedom for Lao-Beijing and the Chinese people.
He put it up in the network's face, he wore these t-shirts, he was active every time he was interviewed.
To the detriment of his career.
He's gone off to the shoe manufacturers.
It's very easy to go along, and little scumbags like this who owns a piece of the NBA franchise, but more importantly, runs a social justice hedge fund.
These guys are as phony as a $3 bill.
I want all the Lao Bai Jing to know, we have your back against scumbags like this guy.
Royce White, jump in here, brother.
royce white
Thanks for having me back, Steve.
You know, I've said it before, I'll say it again.
I think there is a crisis of leadership.
Worldwide.
Some of the stuff these people say would be unbelievable if they didn't do it so often.
I mean, to say that nobody cares about the Uyghur genocide is right on par with saying nobody cares what happened to Jews or nobody cares what happened to Negroes, both of which are completely despicable.
And had he said it in front of me, I probably would have given him a good old fashioned American slap in the mouth.
But there are absolutely people who care about what's taking place.
Uh, there in China, what's happening to the Uyghurs.
And it's interesting that, that he felt comfortable saying something like that.
I think it's very telling of where this, uh, global corporatocracy stands on, on this issue, but also how they're able to, uh, you know, blatantly insult the intelligence of, of whatever constituency they answer to.
It's just a runaway authoritarian, uh, power, power hungry delusion.
steve bannon
Royce, I've got to jump in here.
This is not some guy yelling at a TV screen at your local bar.
This is a guy that owns part of the Warriors.
I might mention Steve Kerr, who I know you've had a situation with.
The coach there has been so outspoken about what he thinks about Lao Bai Jing.
But also, this guy runs a massive hedge fund that's a social justice warrior hedge fund.
This is a leader.
So what's your response to that?
royce white
Well, I'd say he's in a position of power.
I don't I don't qualify that as leadership by any means.
And, you know, here's the you know, it should worry everybody from here to China and everywhere in between when one of these authoritarian megalomaniac technocrats says things like human rights are a luxury belief.
And I've said this before and I'll say it again.
Here's a classic example of a double cross and a triple cross.
The double cross is him saying, well, you know, we're, we're concerned about China when it comes to climate change and, and, uh, the, their economic weight, which is really just a way for him to, you know, uh, justify a continued quid pro quo between the new world order and the CCP.
That's all he's doing.
He's just affirming China and the CCP in that case.
But the triple cross is him adding in that they are actually concerned about Taiwan and people need to pay attention to the way These so-called leaders play these little, these little word games.
You know, he says, well, we are concerned about Taiwan.
Buddy, if you're concerned about Taiwan, you're concerned that if we don't protect them, what happened to the Uyghurs already will happen to the Taiwanese people, right?
unidentified
And so, I mean, it's just, it's just completely... But he's worried about, he's worried about that, he's worried about that for the chips.
steve bannon
Here's the town, you brought it up.
This is why MSNBC doesn't criticize Beijing.
They're prepared to make a deal over Gaia, over this medieval theology they call climate change, with the CCP, which is still pumping out two-thirds of the world's pollution.
And they'll never buy by a deal, but they're prepared to do that and throw the Chinese people, Lao Bajing, not just the Uyghurs, all the Chinese people under the bus.
This is what they think of mankind.
These people are total scumbags.
And this guy's the ultimate.
Royce, should this guy be a part owner of an NBA franchise or should he be immediately removed from anything to do with the NBA, sir?
royce white
He absolutely should be immediately removed as a minority owner.
There should be a lot of questioning to him and any network that he's involved in that would that would be OK with that kind of statement.
But here's the most telling part of his whole rant.
He tried to make the claim that we should be more concerned with what's going on in our borders.
They don't believe in borders.
They don't believe in the in the sovereign nation state, which is a government structure intended to protect the rights, the human rights of its populace.
They don't believe in borders.
So for him to say that we need to be concerned about what's going on within our own borders, Is a complete sleight of hand.
But you know, these globalist, neoliberal weaklings have all tried to play a word game with the American public, with the people of the world.
And it's coming to a head.
They can't keep the coherence of logic intact anymore.
They're just spouting out lunacy.
steve bannon
I want to go to your social media.
How do people follow you?
But I want to say one thing.
In the George Floyd, in the toughest days of the George Floyd situation in Minneapolis, a man went to lead one of the biggest rallies and marches ever.
Right?
Royce White.
And where'd he go?
He didn't march people down to George Floyd Square.
He marched them to the Federal Reserve.
Right?
What's the old saying?
Don't look for the assassin.
It's not the assassin's bullet.
It's who paid for the assassin's bullet.
Okay, Royce, just amazing, amazing.
You've been banging on this drum about the NBA and the corporatocracy and being in bed with Beijing.
There's no better example than this little worm.
Before I go, let's skip the social media part.
royce white
Before I go, I just want to point out that these are the people who the big banks and big finance have given money to.
These are the people who have gotten all of the capital they needed and more for their globalist, elitist, liberal, ever-expanding vision.
And that's why we took 18,000 people to the Federal Reserve.
That's why when George Floyd died, we asked the question of, Where'd the 30 trillion dollars go?
Part of it was siphoned off by technocrats just like this to bring about their their new authoritarian vision of the world.
steve bannon
Amazing.
We still got time.
I want people to how do they follow your substack and to your writings, your books and and how they follow you on on social media.
royce white

steve bannon
Okay, welcome back.
I want to go to Ben Harnwell in Rome.
Ben, this protest in Germany, we have a, and we want everybody to go right now and find out about this massive rally that's going to take place on Sunday about the mandates here in Washington, D.C., anticipating hundreds of thousands.
Hopefully it's going to be bitter cold, but we'll find out.
But in Germany last night, yesterday, 350,000 folks.
Walk through real quickly what's happening.
The protests there are ramping up.
What's going on?
ben harnwell
Yeah, well, Steve, as we've been saying right from the beginning here, the more and more the government clamps down on people's freedoms and introduces the Covid vaccine tyranny, the more and more people's anger is bubbling over.
The immediate takeaway from these photos and the video that we see in the background here, the immediate takeaway of this It's not that it's just 350,000 people.
It's that they're out on Monday.
This isn't Saturday.
This isn't Sunday.
This isn't the weekend.
This is a work day.
This is now an illustration that people in Germany and right across Europe are at boiling point.
Here you see the water cannon.
There are also reports of pepper sprays being used on peaceful protesters.
The quick takeaway on this, Steve, is very simple.
This goes back to the Thomas Jefferson t-shirt, right?
A state big enough to give you everything you want is large enough to take away everything you had. These poor Germans, they bought in after the war to the Willy Brandt social welfare consensus thinking, great, you know, we'll give them half our income and they can give us free health care and give us everything. Well now, sadly, people are seeing the consequences of that. And that is the police pepper spraying peaceful protesters who don't want to take the vaccine.
Now, look, I don't have much time, do I?
steve bannon
I'm going to go on to the next... No, no, hang on, hang on, hang on.
We don't have time for The Guardian.
I'll get to that later.
But The Guardian newspaper today, lead stories about Joe Biden's implosion.
We'll have Ben back on here tomorrow to talk about it.
Ben, real quickly, how did people get you on Getter and Twitter?
ben harnwell
It's Getter at Hanra.
I say again and again, please don't go to Twitter.
It's basically dead now.
All the action is taking place on Getter.
We've got, in less than two months, over 70,000 followers.
So, there's a lot going on there.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother.
ben harnwell
Thank you Steve.
steve bannon
You've got to go to Ben's.
Ben surprises me.
Overnight you get all his news feed.
It's amazing.
Ben, I want to bring in now Boris.
We've got a big announcement on the community we're building at FJB.
But Boris, the Guardian newspaper today lead story is what is to explain for Biden's unpopularity?
And here's the important thing.
The European papers have not covered what's going on here and now they're in shock.
They've seen these numbers we've talked about in the War Room.
It's like the guys are watching the War Room and kind of typing up That's what we're saying.
But NBC comes out today.
The big solution, Boris, is that Biden's got a messaging problem.
NBC, Kirsten Welker, you know, she's dialed in over at the Biden White House.
They're big.
They're going to have a big reset, fire some people.
The problem they have is a messaging problem, not a policy problem, not a legitimacy problem.
They have a messaging problem.
Boris Epstein, right now we're building a community to combat this.
Walk us through.
We've got a huge announcement today.
Walk us through it.
boris epshteyn
Steve, good morning.
It's an honor to be here.
And by the way, the Biden team has got a policy problem, a performance problem, a communications problem, a messaging problem, and a fecklessness problem.
But what we are doing here at War Room, in the MAGA movement, under the leadership of President Trump, and vitally with the FJB movement, is we're building a community, we're building an infrastructure, and we're building agency for ourselves, for our movement, for our posse.
And I'm so proud to announce, Steve, you and I became strategic partners with FJB Coin just a few weeks ago.
And today I'm so proud to announce that we are bringing on a senior strategic advisor, Eric Finman.
Eric Finman, the youngest Bitcoin millionaire.
Somebody who knows crypto inside and out and who's going to be leading the charge to build out the FJB coin, to build out the community, to build out the movement.
And we have Eric on the show.
Eric, how are you, my friend?
Congratulations.
unidentified
Thank you.
What an introduction, Boris.
So glad to be on.
boris epshteyn
Absolutely, Eric.
Go ahead, Steve.
steve bannon
Yeah, we've only got a couple of minutes.
Eric, why did you decide to invest in FJB and why did you decide to come in as a strategic advisor given you know crypto better than anybody?
unidentified
Yeah, I mean, I've been in, although I'm young, I have been, I guess ironically, a veteran in the crypto community.
I got into Bitcoin for the first time when I was just like 11, 12 years old.
I mean, you know, I guess I was, some kids had video games, some kids had sports.
I got into crypto and I've just loved and been a part of this community for over 10 years now.
And I just, when I saw FJB coin, I loved it.
I wanted to get into it.
I love the community.
Right now, payment processors, Visa, the banks are banning conservatives left and right, and we need to create an alternative system that we, as patriots, as the MAGA community, as the FJB community, can own to go against us.
I mean, it's like Bitcoin, but Bitcoin, it's like, you know, who's I love Bitcoin but but you know we want to create something I think that that is you know for the MAGA movement and everything because again like I said payment processors are banning conservatives everywhere banks banning people you know you see what happened to General Flynn and everybody and I just think it's so important you know I mean and I love the name FGB
It's not just, you know, it's not just kind of like a funny meme, right?
FJB, LJB, right?
But it is something that is a truly a crying outcry against this whole administration and I think it's really representative of what's to come in midterms and that the majority just will no longer be silent.
steve bannon
OK, Eric, thank you.
Here's the key thing is that Eric's now involved.
He's an investor in this.
He's also going to be a strategic advisor to the company going forward.
This is a community.
Remember, the very early stages of it.
But you see, when they can cancel Mike Lindell and they can cancel General Flynn, when they can cancel Donald Trump, remember, the banks blew him out.
That's the problem we have.
And also remember, the spending they're doing, and they're going to do more spending because the economy is about to collapse.
They are forcing you to look at both precious metals and crypto as alternative stores of value.
They're forcing you.
The federal government.
Eric, thank you very much.
Boris, thank you very much.
We'll be back here at 5 o'clock.
boris epshteyn
FJBCoin.org, baby.
steve bannon
FJBCoin.org, thank you.
A lot more to say throughout the week on FJB and other announcements on building out that community.
Back here at 5 o'clock tonight.
It's going to be pretty explosive.
We've got O'Keefe.
James O'Keefe is going to be in the War Room.
Make sure you make it here at 5 p.m.
