unidentified
Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
anthony fauci
You don't want to frighten the American public.
unidentified
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.
anthony fauci
This is going to be a real serious problem.
unidentified
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.
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. Banham.
steve bannon
Okay, you're in the War Room.
140 million downloads.
Of course, we're live everywhere thanks to Real America's Voice.
It houses up on every platform in the known world, I think it is.
From cable, to satellite, to The Dish, to all the streaming services want to thank Real America's Voice and also for their production help from their Denver headquarters.
Also, John Furtick's Radio Network nationwide through their app.
There's stations in the South and now the Middle Atlantic and also want to thank GNews and GTV for subtitling this and actually simulcasting off it in Mandarin and in Japanese and blowing it through the firewall.
Later in the day to Laobaijing in mainland China but also throughout the diaspora of the Chinese people.
I had some folks drop by today, talked to them.
They were from Europe and from Australia.
Talked about the shows, how exciting it is to have it in Europe and Australia.
Want to thank all of our audience there.
Got a lot to get to.
I want to start, though, kind of with the center of the political universe.
I think it was the Times had this article today, it's up on Yahoo, about can Trump-type populism transfer to Canada?
We don't know that.
What we know, we have Freedom Convoys and Castro Trudeau today threw down hard Well, pretty much the same thing we've been doing.
and emergency powers including up to and calling in the military in all the provinces in Canada but I want to go to our own Mike Anderson a trucker who's been with this since the beginning in the Freedom Convoys.
unidentified
Mike can you get us up to speed on what's happening in Ottawa because it's all kind of confusing news coming out there can you just tell us what's going on with the truckers? Well pretty much the same thing we've been doing we've just been sitting here holding the line and we're not moving. They're throwing threats at us and he has invoked the Emergencies Act which he didn't really clearly say what that involved but said that was additional measures which we
haven't seen anything really change.
steve bannon
Bye.
Mike, they started off by saying you were a small fringe, a tiny fringe.
Then they went to the thing you were white nationalists and white supremacists and they had Confederate battle flags and you had Nazi swastikas and all that.
When that didn't work, now they've gone to that you're economic Terrorist, right?
I thought the whole purpose of this was to get rid of the mandates to open up Canada for all Canadians to basically participate in shared prosperity of a booming economy.
So what is it, Micah?
The truckers think that they're Who are the backbone of the logistics system?
Are you guys economic terrorists, as now all these governors of these provinces and the Prime Minister's calling you?
Are you economic terrorists, a fringe group, white nationalists or supremacists, or are you just everyday Canadians trying to help your country and your countrymen be free?
unidentified
Well, like you said, we're just everyday Canadians just wanting to help our country be free again.
All these mandates of Locked us all down, and we haven't really been living the last two years.
We've just been simply existing.
We just want everybody to get their freedoms back and live their lives.
It's sad that he's resorted to name-calling, but it is what it is.
I've been called lots of things in my life, but never what's come out of that man's mouth.
steve bannon
And that's pretty shocking.
So is anything changed?
Are the tow trucks coming?
Are all the trucks that you originally showed up with still up there around Parliament Hill and some on Parliament Hill?
I mean, are the original cadre of truckers still there?
Are you being towed off?
Are the authorities arresting you?
Or can you just give us your latest status?
unidentified
I haven't heard of any of the trucker arrests.
I know some guys had leave because their companies Basically threatened their jobs that if they didn't leave that they would have no job and some of them guys left.
But for the most part, the majority of us is still here and we're all saying the same thing.
We're not leaving until the mandates are done.
steve bannon
Now I know they're starting to debate it up on Parliament.
Can you give us any clarity from your perspective of where you guys think you stand in actually having the government lift the mandates?
I understand a couple members of his party have gone to other parties, have said you can't do this, you can't continue to do this.
They're actually debating it up now in Parliament in Canada.
It'll be a political debate throughout the week.
But from your perspective, the truckers' perspectives, where do you actually think you stand in achieving your objective?
unidentified
Well, we're all in the same boat.
We're not leaving until our country has its freedoms back.
We're standing together and with the turnout of the crowds that came here on the past weekend, you can see that the majority of the people do not want these mandates.
They just want to live their lives.
steve bannon
Mike, last question.
And I realize you guys are self-effacing, humble, just basically the best values of working class people, which I kind of think truckers throughout the world share.
And that's what we've seen.
Do you guys understand the scale of how you've inspired people?
We started today with our foreign editor in Rome, but he was talking about what happened in France over the weekend where they're tear gassing the truckers and trying to stop them from coming in.
What's happening in Belgium and Brussels, the capital of the European Union.
What happened in New Zealand today, you know, over the weekend.
It was just stunning.
In Australia.
Do you guys appreciate how you've inspired people throughout the world?
unidentified
Well, most definitely.
I'm honored that I'm part of something that has inspired a worldwide movement for freedom.
It's beautiful to see that the whole world has come together and You know, speaking out that they don't want to live under these COVID rules anymore.
They want, they want freedom.
They want freedom of choice.
You know, if somebody wants to do something to protect themselves, go ahead, do it.
We're all on the same page here.
And it's, it's a beautiful thing.
I still, it's kind of surreal.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around, around the whole situation.
steve bannon
Mike, how can people, you know, we've had the Rebel News, we got the live feed, Viva Fry, David Fryhite, his live feed.
How do people stay up to speed on Mike Anderson and the truckers are actually up there on Parliament Hill?
unidentified
Well, I pretty much only post stuff on TikTok under the Pissed Off Trucker with no Ian Trucker.
Pretty much that platform kind of lets us speak our mind and let guys know what's going on here.
It seems that we're quite censored on other platforms, but there is still information out there.
It just disappears pretty fast.
steve bannon
Mike, we'll make sure we push up on all our platforms and make sure people get total access to you.
So thank you very much.
Honored to have you on again.
Keep fighting.
unidentified
You bet.
Thanks, Steve.
Will do.
steve bannon
Mike Anderson, one of the original truckers in all of this, has been kind enough to include us in all of this in the last couple of days.
I've got a couple of big guests.
Lou Dobbs is going to join us in a minute, but I want to start with Boris Epstein because we've got some nitty-gritty politics.
Before I go and get the AOC thing, Boris, I've just got to ask you this.
I think it was the New York Times, but Yahoo's got this story up.
Will Trump-type populism transfer to Canada?
And the implication is then throughout the world.
You followed this from the beginning, from when it started out at the Cootes Crossing in Montana and Alberta.
What is your sense of where we stand right now in all this?
boris epshteyn
My sense is that this has been a worldwide movement, Steve.
That this has been a movement that has been going from the Brexit movement, the Brexit moment that was so historic in the summer of 2016, to President Trump's victory in November of 2016, and all the way through now.
And what we call a MAGA is really a worldwide movement of people who are sick and tired of being oppressed, who are sick and tired of being told what to do, how to act, what to wear, what to put in their bodies.
And it's a movement of freedom.
So that movement of freedom is absolutely going all across the world.
There's no doubt about it.
You're seeing it in France, in Germany, of course, in Canada.
You're seeing it in all other parts of the world.
So, yeah, the answer to the New York Times.
The New York Times has been having a hard time laying a finger on President Trump these days.
They had tried to do a hit piece about Mitch McConnell, too, and then turned out that President Trump's got all the power and the strength.
Mitch McConnell has none whatsoever.
So, the New York Times, the answer is yes.
Yes, Trump populism is absolutely getting stronger and stronger and stronger.
As 2021 was the year of MAGA, 2022 is the year of MAGA on steroids, but not just in the U.S.
MAGA stands for freedom all over the world.
steve bannon
Okay, today we started the show this morning that this is the first day Of the 2022 midterms and really the 2024 presidential because today early voting starts in Texas for the March 1st primary.
So this is begins it AOC was over the weekend in Texas following the she's nervous because they've been following the war room and how we've been focused on the Rio Grande Valley working classes banks there and in South Texas.
Let's play AOC and I want to have Boris comment.
unidentified
Well first I think feeling that way is completely normal and also understandable.
But here's what is exciting about the state of Texas.
Here's what's exciting about Jessica's race and Greg's race.
Is that we flip Texas, we flip the country.
We flip Texas, we flip the country.
This state, one in three voters are people of color, young people of that race.
Does that sound impressive?
Even more.
Flipping blue is inevitable.
And nothing will...
Another ball!
It will happen!
The only question is when, Texas!
The only question is when!
So the work that you put in today, the work that you put in tomorrow, the work that you put in on Monday, when you go one more door when you're tired, when you make one more call, when you feel exhausted, you're bringing that day one day sooner.
One day.
One day faster, this state will turn blue.
It's going to happen with the seat of San Antonio and Austin.
It's going to spring down to Laredo.
It's going to go up to Houston and to Dallas and to all across the state, rural and urban and suburban.
We're going to fight for a living wage as a minimum wage.
We're going to make sure we unionize the hell out of this state.
steve bannon
Okay, it's going to come down to the Hispanic, well she went to, by the way, she went to Austin, you know, she's talking about Austin, the social justice warriors up there at the University of Texas, and all the liberal professors, progressive professors in San Antonio.
We had Hispanic Americans on today running for office on the Republican ticket in these primaries.
Hardcore MAGA, hardcore Trump supporters.
And they said, hey, AOC did not come down to McAllen.
They didn't come to Del Rio, didn't come to the Rio Grande Valley or anywhere up and down the Rio Grande Valley.
And they certainly didn't send Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Boris, your quick assessment.
boris epshteyn
First of all, maybe she would talk to Howard Dean before that little performance.
It's absolutely terrible.
And one positive to take away there is that we don't have to worry about AOC on the national stage as a national candidate, because if that's the best she can do four years in, it's pathetic.
So maybe some media training, maybe some public speaking training, whatever it is.
But that's a terrible, uninspiring performance by somebody who the Democrats think is one of their greatest stars.
So really, I'm almost disappointed.
In AOC's bad performance there.
So that's one from the optics of it from the campaign perspective.
But politically...
First of all, let's not forget that it was the Democrats in Texas who, within the last several months, just ran away to D.C.
because they didn't want to vote on a completely appropriate and, by some of our standards, actually soft bill on voter integrity.
These Democrats in Texas ran away to D.C., got everybody sick with COVID, got drunk on the plane, and were an absolute embarrassment and disaster.
Texas is farther from being blue than it was two years ago.
No matter what Beto O'Rourke thinks, he's running for governor now and he just can't stop himself from running for some sort of office.
Beto, nobody wants you, okay?
Nobody wants you.
And your real name is not even Beto, okay?
Nobody's interested in these weak, soy boy, soy girl liberals.
MAGA is on the march in Texas.
And as you said, Steve, the Rio Grande Valley, the area where you've got the working class Hispanics, where you have those who believe in America, believe in our borders, believe in the promise of the United States, they are voting MAGA overwhelmingly.
So AOC goes down there trying to rally the troops, but if anything, should probably turn them off.
People are going to say, well, you know what?
It sounds like the Trump team is right.
MAGA is right.
We've got to go with the way of securing our border and securing our country.
steve bannon
Yeah.
Boris, I'm going to hold you for the Mitch McConnell afterwards, but give me 30 seconds right now on Missouri.
30 seconds on the Missouri filibuster.
boris epshteyn
It's starting up again tomorrow.
They're back in session tomorrow in Missouri.
So the Patriots in Missouri are not taking one inch back.
They're standing strong.
They're continuing to fight.
We've got to get on the horde.
We've got to put our shoulder to the wheel and let the Patriots in Missouri know, and the Rhinos in Missouri know, that the 7-1 map is the baseline.
We will not take anything less than that 7-1 map.
The fight in Missouri continues.
We have to stand strong and insist, insist on 7-1.
steve bannon
Short commercial break.
We're going to get all the map up there.
We'll be back.
Boris Epstein.
Lou Dobbs.
unidentified
Next in the War Room.
War Room.
anthony fauci
Pandemic.
With Stephen K. Banham.
unidentified
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
anthony fauci
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham.
steve bannon
Okay, Boris, before I get into the McConnell-Bush versus Trump, and we're going to get Lou Dobbs also to give us his own analysis, because I know he's been working on this one for years, there's a poll out.
Another poll.
We had another analysis this morning from Steve Cortez on Hispanics and then right track, wrong track.
But there's a new poll out.
I know you wanted to comment.
You wanted to put it in front of everybody.
You want to talk about it?
boris epshteyn
No doubt about it.
This is a Susquehanna poll.
Again, not Trafalgar.
It's not Rasmussen.
Center-left poll.
And it's a generic approve-disapprove poll.
So, overall, you're at 42% on Joe Biden approve, 52% disapprove.
And okay, so, and if we can move up a little bit there, Denver, so show all of question one.
42-52.
Terrible numbers overall.
But then if you look under the hood, even just a little bit, even just a little bit, and you look at strongly approve versus strongly disapprove, Strongly approve.
Strongly approve.
unidentified
23.
boris epshteyn
23, strongly disapprove.
46, strongly approve of Joe Biden, which means he actually have an opinion.
unidentified
23.
boris epshteyn
Strongly disapprove this day in 46.
These numbers, again, these numbers continue to fall like a knife.
The old school Wall Street saying, don't catch a falling knife.
That is what's happening to this administration.
And how terrible and feckless they've been on Ukraine.
The fact that even now the mayor of DC is telling Joe Biden to go screw himself and say they're getting rid of the mask and the vaccine mandates.
steve bannon
Everything.
unidentified
Just everything except for schools for some unknown reason.
steve bannon
Before we move on to the New York Times story, I just got a comment.
I've never seen a strongly disapproved at almost 50%.
This is what's so stunning about these numbers.
These numbers are unprecedented in this type of polling.
This is why they don't want him in the Rio Grande Valley, they don't want him in Texas, anywhere near Texas for the early vote.
He is a pariah.
Elections have consequences.
Stolen elections have catastrophic consequences.
What he's done, and the American people are awakening to this, and what Boris and I have been saying for months and months and months, these numbers would not be this quickly at historical lows, even compared to Carter, if he'd had the vote in the first place.
That is the message that just blows out here.
Okay, the McConnell team, Team McConnell and Team Bush, dictated an article to the New York Times, how they're working together to thwart President Trump and they're using the instrumentality of the US Senate races to do that Boris Walker Stewart I know President Trump had we only got a couple minutes and President Trump had a response I want to go through all that hit it So the New York Times goes up with a piece as you said Steve obviously planted by Tim McConnell and Tim Bush
boris epshteyn
And it's all about how Mitch McConnell is fighting back against Donald Trump, but then they ran into a roadblock which is Donald Trump is the most powerful man in American politics, and he's the unquestionable leader Undisputed leader of the Republican Party and the MAGA movement So, they planted a hit piece on themselves, effectively, because that's what it became.
And as you read the story—I think it was Shane Goldmark that did the story for The New York Times—as you read the story, it starts with, yeah, Mitch McConnell's trying to really, you know, oppose Donald Trump, and then it goes with mixed results.
Well, when a mainstream outlet says mixed results about anything having to do with opposing President Trump, you know it's an utmost, unbelievable, total failure.
And that's what it's been.
Mitch McConnell is zero and a thousand, OK, against Donald J. Trump.
President Trump is batting a thousand as he goes up against Mitch McConnell all across the country.
And let's be honest, Mitch McConnell knows it.
And as a comms guy, Stephen, you know this, obviously.
Just the fact that they're planting the stories shows how nervous Team Mitch and Team Bush are.
Yeah.
Shows that they believe themselves to be totally under the gun here.
And that President Trump with a fire response today, specifically on Arizona, which was the key part of that story, the Arizona Senate race.
Here's the response right there.
Maga will never accept Rhino Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona running for the US Senate.
So save your time, money, and energy, Mitch.
unidentified
Boom! Right in your face, Mitch McConnell.
steve bannon
That was — it was smash mouth.
Boris, how did people get to you?
What's the morning email, all that, and your social media?
boris epshteyn
No doubt about it.
Straight fire in the morning email.

Stay strong.
God bless.
All eyes on Missouri tomorrow.
I'll see you tomorrow.
steve bannon
We're going to get to work on Missouri.
OK, now, not just one of the greatest communicators and newsmen and all that, but one of the great patriots in our country, Lou Dobbs.
The new show is called The Great American Show.
It's the podcast.
You've got to download this podcast and get all the information.
But Lou, I got to ask you, you've been fighting this one for a long time and you had President Trump's back for a long time and you've been calling these guys out for a long time.
And I know you know the New York Times backwards and forwards, but when you see an article in The Sunday Times That's got in the first paragraph that the Bush forces and the McConnell forces are teamed together to thwart President Trump, and it reads like a memo from those guys.
What are your first thoughts, sir?
lou dobbs
They look like Marvel or DC superheroes, Bush and McConnell, didn't they?
Standing tall, saving America.
Not one candidate, not one candidate that they're supporting did the New York Times use as a As an avatar for their immense success and what all the good they're going to do for America.
Not one!
And in point of fact, in Arizona, Ducey is running for his life.
He's got a group of Republican candidates there that the president is largely responsible for, particularly in the governor's race.
Carrie Lake, are you kidding me?
Somebody wants to stand up against her, the president's choice and endorsement choice.
in that race, this is ridiculous.
And in the New York Times, I almost was looking for the parenthetical waiver or disclaimer that said, you know, we did this because the editor said to, but really we couldn't find any facts.
We really can't understand the editorial perspective.
And this whole thing is BS, like the entire Mitch McConnell or the Crows program here.
Whose interest is he working in?
It's not the Republican interest.
It is not America's interest.
It is the interest of the old Crow.
steve bannon
So let's drill down on that.
I mean, President Trump had the deregulation, had the tax cut, had American First foreign policy, had secure the border, you know, had get a writ CRT.
What are Bush and McConnell's problems with the program?
If they're supposed to be Republicans and Conservatives, in your mind, Luke, because you've been at this a long time, what are they trying to thwart?
lou dobbs
Well, the first thing to do, I guess some people say follow the money.
I follow the alignment.
Whose policies line up with whom?
And Mitch McConnell's policies lined up more with Xi Jinping than they did with Donald J. Trump as President of the United States.
That has been the initial friction point.
The second part is Donald Trump is his own man.
He represents the forgotten man and woman in this country, the middle class working men and women, their families, small business people, entrepreneurs.
He is a man of energy and vision.
And Mitch McConnell just can't be disturbed because he has a new nap coming up.
And he would rather not see you again until the cocktail hour.
It's a little difference in style, in governance, in vision, maturity, judgment, strength.
I could go on.
steve bannon
By the way, in the next segment, Lou, we're going to have a cold open.
I want to talk to you about the Durham and all this, about the Russiagate, because I know you follow this closely.
But before we get a couple of minutes here, I want to ask you, last week the announcement came up, and it was very to me, a trillion-dollar trade deficit in the first year of the Biden administration.
In a full collapse, the Fed now is jammed up about what they're going to do.
What is your assessment, having done this for decades and decades at CNN and Fox Business, of where do you think the Biden regime's economy stands right now, sir, as it regards to working class and middle class Americans?
lou dobbs
Well, we just got word half a million Americans died in the first year of President Biden's term in office.
Half a million people.
This is a president who is confused about the vaccines.
He's confused about the mandates that he said he wouldn't put in place that he did.
He is confused about treatment for the virus.
He is confused about which wave of which variant this is and is completely at sea.
As now at last count, eight governors, blue state governors, Have divorced themselves from his authoritarian mandates and are going their own way because he has become absolute poison in this political year, critically important year.
This is a president that is, in my opinion, he's slipped his moorings.
The national media doesn't know what to do because they don't know how to report the truth.
The reality that this is a man who has to be helped across the stage and down the steps And without that assistance, it would be an even uglier scene.
He's a man who doesn't finish sentences and barely gets to the end of a speech.
We have to understand the weakness here and the fact that our enemies, this country's enemies, and let's start with Russia, are taking into deep discount the weakness of this president and their calculus as to what they can get away with on the international scene, and particularly in expanding the borders of Russia.
steve bannon
Real quick, we've got about 30 seconds of this segment, Lou.
His lack of command presence, because you've seen these guys now six or seven presidents in a row, his lack of command presence, how dangerous is it for this country?
lou dobbs
I think it's very dangerous.
As I said, his weakness is not only the fact that the national left-wing corporate-owned media is ignoring it doesn't mean the rest of us are ignoring it or can ignore it.
We would love to unsee it.
But the reality is that Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, they see it.
They see it clearly.
The Ayatollahs see it.
The Taliban sees it.
And I assure you, they're making judgments right now that will not be helpful to U.S.
interests, simply because this country had the extraordinarily bad collective judgment to put this man in office.
By whatever means was necessary for that to happen.
steve bannon
Yeah, I think Mark Elias and those guys had a little to do with that.
Lou Dobbs, hang on.
lou dobbs
I wanted to give credit where I could.
steve bannon
You certainly did, sir.
Short commercial break.
unidentified
break we're going to return with the great American show's host Lou Dobbs in the war room in a moment and now it's a Clinton campaign and the DNC helping to fund it What are your thoughts?
lou dobbs
My thoughts is that justice sometimes can be circuitous, but ultimately it arrives when we get very lucky.
The Clinton campaign, the Democratic Party, the DNC, they have been guilty of so much, so much in the way of just outright corruption.
Wow, Lou, this is maybe even better than your stuff on the trade deficits.
And it's only fitting that finally, finally, the truth is out there.
This is something, by the way, that Hillary Clinton has denied.
The Democratic National Committee has denied.
Her attorneys have denied.
And they and their denials have been lying, lying, lying.
steve bannon
Wow, Lou, this may be better than your stuff on the trade deficits.
This is where I'd listen to this.
I'd listen to this for years.
You've been talking about this, and then you see on Saturday, walk us through exactly what you were hammering and why Saturday is such a big deal.
lou dobbs
Well, that goes back a few years, that piece of video from early on.
I suspect you can tell that by the age difference, but the reality is that this, the assault by the left here, it's been transparent.
It's been obvious.
And the establishment left in this country, which is the establishment now, it includes Wall Street, it includes corporate America, universities, academics, and the political class, of course.
But they have, and the court system, they have managed to submerge reality, submerge truth.
There's one party that has been scared to death of the truth throughout, and that party is the democratic Marxist left.
And one party desperately seeking truth and that has been the Republicans who have throughout it all played so nicely and have been run over and nearly allowed, nearly allowed the country to be run over.
Even with this president in office, by whatever means, and even with this administration in place, the court systems in the hands of the left, the Congress, the Senate, the deep state permanent bureaucracy, and the list goes on.
The reality is one man stood up for four years against all the hell that was thrown at him.
This man, Donald J. Trump, was persecuted as a candidate.
They attempted to overthrow his presidency at various points and People like, as the President calls him, the Crow, Mitch McConnell were absent, Paul Ryan was absent when he was Speaker, and Kevin McCarthy didn't stand tall at all.
Devin Nunes and others, as you know, did stand up.
Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, a group of people did coalesce around him, just enough to get him through and for him to lead America And to remind Americans that yes, this is a great country and we have to persevere.
And now we have to persevere in this midterm election again, by the way, in which we express our support for first, America first, and for crying out loud, it's okay that America is great.
We will persevere so long as we have strong, effective, honest leadership.
And only one Republican has stood up tall enough and firmly enough to have that mantle, and that is Donald Trump.
unidentified
I hope you agree with me, Steve.
steve bannon
It's even deeper than that, how President Trump stood up.
I think that clip was from, I think it was four years ago.
Think about it, four years ago.
Lou, the Durham, it's this grand jury, and what came out on Saturday was shocking.
About not just hacking into the campaign of which I was on, but more importantly, at the White House.
And remember, these guys suspended this.
You're going to have Mark Elias.
Mark Elias was their general counsel of the campaign.
Mark Elias, the chief engineer of the, you know, his partner was the, Bob Bauer was the architect.
He's the chief engineer of the big steel and brags about it and is doing all kinds of crazy stuff around the country, trying to thwart real elections in the future.
Lou, you mentioned McCarthy.
Lindsey Graham, weren't we promised, wasn't there a commitment after the first impeachment trial that we're going to hold Senate hearings and get to the bottom?
Why are we in 2022 dependent upon a federal grand jury somewhere in Connecticut?
Four or five years after the matter, Lindsey Graham, didn't Lindsey Graham promise the American people when he's sitting there on hand with the crocodile tears getting raised in money, didn't he promise people when he was chairman of what intelligence committee that we're going to get to the bottom of that?
Did I mishear that, sir?
lou dobbs
Well, if you did, so did I, and so did every other American paying attention to Lindsey Graham, which is, by the way, a frightening concept when you dwell on it for even a moment or two.
The president, for whatever reason, kept giving Lindsey Graham a second chance.
Lindsey Graham is worse than a rhino.
He's an utter fraud, and he's a fraud to both sides, actually.
And you never quite really know where he's going to land.
But you do know that you'll be uncomfortable no matter where he lands.
It's amazing to me that the Republican Party persists in this illusion.
That rhinos, Republicans in name only, are okay in the Republican Party, but there is no countervailing group, say, in the Democratic Party.
Can you imagine?
Democrats in name only.
They're too smart, they're too committed, they're too energetic to put up with that kind of nonsense.
They are a holistic Ideological group.
And the Republicans are this diffuse sort of wandering, sometimes aimlessly, gathering of people who don't quite know where to go unless they have a strong leader.
And President Trump showed them what happens when a strong leader is there and he doesn't tolerate nonsense from that party.
The President, despite all of his amazing strength, his leadership, everything else, he has this penchant to give the weak, the infirm, ideologically, another chance.
The Lindsey Grahams, the Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, the Mitch McConnells.
He can't do that anymore because they mean to savage him, to rip his throat out.
And this is the one chance to make certain that the Republican Party gets where it needs to go.
And that is following Donald Trump to his vision for this country.
steve bannon
Amen.
Well, you got to help me out here because this has got me confused.
Donald Trump gets impeached off a phone call.
Think about it.
We put the country through an impeachment when we could have been focused on so many others for an impeachment, for a phone call with it, with the with the standup comedian that won the become, you know, president of Ukraine.
Right now, before we had you on the show today, MSNBC, all of them all day long, the entire shows sounding the war toxins in the war in Ukraine.
How did the Biden administration, first off in trying to wag the markets and wag the dog, but now they've got it like into a jam.
None of the NATO guys are there.
Germany's saying, hey, look, don't cut off our gas.
The French is saying, hey, let's sit down and talk this out, have a cappuccino or espresso.
The Biden administration's got, they got the Pentagon, they got, you know, the crisis management, they're coming on the talk shows.
It's like the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Can you explain to folks, in your mind, what is going on here?
lou dobbs
They're looking for salvation, I believe, first and foremost.
Because if you look, if you track the numbers for the cable networks, for the New York Times, Washington Post, in terms of audience, they peak through the four years of the Trump administration and they nosedive again to the precipitous decline they were in pre-Trump.
They're first and foremost incapable of finding an audience without Donald Trump to hate on.
So now they have an opportunity to be important.
Suddenly the generals want to show what the military can really do if we're not fighting a third world country insurgency or guerrilla force like The Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, who was—people forget, we defeated the Taliban and Al-Qaeda within one year following September 11.
And then we decided to muck everything up.
It's extraordinary.
And now they're looking at that one opportunity.
That they have, and I'm talking about they first, the Biden administration, to divert everyone's attention from the fact this is the worst president in American history.
This man, Biden, is infirm, enfeebled, he is lost, he's incapable, and he is surrounded by absolute louts and the inert and inept around him for I don't know how much distance through the permanent bureaucracy.
Think about this, if you will, Steve.
I mean, we have people here that don't even notice, whether it's MSNBC or CNN or the National Security Council and Jake Sullivan, the chief advisor to the president on national security, they haven't noticed that Vladimir Putin took over Belarus, has de facto annexed Belarus, Moldova,
I mean, north and south of Ukraine, already on the eastern side, 100,000 Russian troops, heavy, heavy weaponry, ready to go.
He doesn't have to invade or do as, as President Biden suggested, just a minor incursion where we can all sit quietly and sip our tea.
We're talking about, he doesn't have to do a thing.
It's a de facto already annexation of Moldova and Belarus.
Are you kidding?
This man has made a fool of everyone, NATO, European Union, the United States, and all he has to do is gather up all of his men and toys, return to base, and wait until it occurs to someone what he has achieved without firing a shot and simply letting the West be themselves.
Stupid.
Uninformed and, well, indolent.
steve bannon
Well, stupid, uninformed, indolent.
All he has to do is read.
The Pentagon put out a report last week.
The Pentagon basically said, hey, we didn't really do anything wrong.
It was the White House and this guy named Biden wasn't totally making the snappy decisions that we needed to make the wrong decisions.
Lester Holt.
Good old Lester Holt asked a straightforward question.
Hey, Afghanistan.
He says, hey, there's a report out, says there's some problems, communication, decision-making.
He just goes, I don't believe the report.
My generals didn't tell me anything that was different than the decisions I made.
I mean, complete 180.
Today they asked one softball question about it.
They would have impeached Trump over that report.
And by the way, the Biden administration's got to know we're going to use that as part of Article 2, which is your incompetence in Afghanistan and starting a war in Ukraine because you're incompetence and aggression.
It's going to be filed as a document.
Lou, it boggles my mind what happens here.
They put these reports out and people don't even read them.
And then Biden says, I don't believe it.
The guy's never told me that.
And Lester Holt goes, okay, next question.
Yeah, that's a good first question.
Next question.
Let's go down.
The media has been the bodyguard of the lies here in this administration.
Lou, the podcast is on fire.
I'm honored to be, and people know I do very, very few podcasts, but I'm honored to be on your podcast.
What day is our podcast going to be released?
lou dobbs
Tomorrow, they'll interview with you.
And that's on the Great America Show and on podcast platforms everywhere.
And we thank you for doing it.
And I look forward to our next conversation.
Thank you for this.
I just want to add one thing that Jen Psaki did that upped her boss just a bit.
He empirically, like Louis XIV, said he rejected that U.S.
Army report on the surrender in Kabul.
And she denied the existence altogether of the report, if you could imagine.
It's incredible.
steve bannon
Last thing, I just gotta mention, we only got a few seconds.
Trump did mention, he sent out another flamethrower today.
With the bombshells that came out on Saturday from Durham, I don't think CNN has ever mentioned this.
And Trump went off on the mainstream media.
There'd be grounds for impeachment, there'd be, what Biden's doing would be grounds for impeachment of Trump every day.
If you compare it relative to the phone call to the Ukraine guy, right?
Lou, we've got 30 seconds, what do you say?
lou dobbs
I say to the President, you're right, you're right, you're right, and you know it, and thank God you've been right for this country.
I would encourage everyone who supports Donald Trump and America First to just remember this, CNN is owned by AT&T, CBS by CBS Viacom, ABC News by Disney, if you can imagine, and the list goes on.
This is corporate media.
It is useless.
steve bannon
Great American Podcast tomorrow.
We'll get it up every day.

It's one thing to not comply, but we're going to go through a very difficult time of shortages, where we have to be proactive, warning the bad guys that they're personally going to be held accountable by the law.
And the last thing I would say is get a generator, fill up a freezer, find out where your food is grown, make friends with a farmer, learn how to hunt and fish, learn how to garden, because there are going to be shortages and they're going to be blamed on the truckers.
And, you know, the party of Davos is going to kind of wait to starve us out.
So that we beg for their control.
And only by being self-supporting, self-sustaining, can we dig in for the long haul, which is what this is going to be.
steve bannon
That's Dr. Naomi Wolf, the new spokesmodel for MyPatriot.
I'm just kidding.
But we had Dr. Wolf on the other day and heads blew up when she was sitting there going, hey, it's just not inflation.
It's also the shortages.
We've got Joe Reek from MyPatriots Supplies going to join us in a second.
I just want to make sure everybody goes to MyPillow.com.
We're going to have Lindell back on tomorrow morning.
We made national news this morning with Tina Peters from Colorado announcing her pre-announcement of the show, running for Secretary of State in Colorado.
Of course, all the left-wing media fully melted down.
Make sure you go to MyPillow.com.

MyPillow.com Joe Reek's been good enough to kind of take some time off during the workday.
Joe, put it in perspective.
Dr. Naomi Wolf is gone and she's been kind of Cassandra on everything about the vaccine passports and the mandates and kind of called shots six months in advance.
She came on and she said, hey, inflation is bad, but wait for it.
It's going to be the shortages.
This is your business.
And we said right away, we got to get Joe on to talk about us.
Is it as dire as Dr. Naomi Wolf is talking about, sir?
unidentified
You know, that's the thing is, is it is.
And I think she, I think she encompassed perfectly the situation that we're going to be facing.
You know, you take a look at what's going on in Ukraine right now.
Not a lot of people know that Ukraine is responsible for 25% of all the wheat output.
So you take that into consideration.
If that gets shut down, there's going to produce mass shortages for wheat.
We had a couple of instances here in the United States where there was a fertilizer plant that blew up and the cost of fertilizer has gone up by about 400%.
Now this fertilizer is used for corn.
So now these farmers, they cannot afford the fertilizer anymore, so they're switching to soybeans to plant because they just can't afford to plant the corn anymore.
Take that, compounded on top of another incident here where they had over 30,000 turkeys euthanized because of a flu outbreak again for the birds.
So, all these things are happening, Steve, and Dr. Wolf hit the nail on the head.
I mean, things are going to be happening.
Inflation isn't the only problem, but there are going to be some major shortages that are going to affect everybody here.
steve bannon
Joe, I gotta ask you, because I know you're in the business, My Patriot Supply is kind of the grandfather of the business, you guys started, you're the industry leader, but is it my imagination, why are these things popping up so much today?
What's your thoughts about that?
unidentified
You know, I don't know what it is, but I do know that there are some strings being pulled beyond my comprehension and above my pay grade.
But there's some things that are we're going to be put into a tight squeeze here.
And if people don't start waking up and start reading and researching for themselves, they're going to be left wanting and needing things and they're just not going to be able to have it.
I mean, that's why we've been advocating for years.
Get prepared to do it now while things are calm.
Do it now while you're able to, because there's going to come a time when we're not going to be able to fulfill all these orders.
There's going to come a time when people are going to be hungry and there's nothing they can do about it.
steve bannon
Okay, this is why we want to have you on, because we specialize in making sure people know nomenclature, process, critical path, everything like that.
And we like to, whether it's gold or all these other topics, the pandemic, vaccine, we want people to immerse themselves and take responsibility for themselves to learn as much about a subject as they can.
