Because you and the corporate media have painted a very different picture.
You as a group have gone from ignoring these protesters, to dismissing them as a fringe minority, to smearing them as racist and misogynistic, to now attacking them as terrorists.
When you became Prime Minister of Canada, you did not just become the Prime Minister of the people who agreed with you.
You became Prime Minister of every Canadian.
You don't get to pick and choose who you will care about.
It is your civic duty to care about all Canadians, even those who you disagree with.
Treating them with prejudice, suspicion, and illegal repression is not caring.
Oh!
Come on through!
Come on through!
What is happening here?
Wow!
What is this lady doing?
Trampling!
Trampling horses!
Trampling!
Stop it!
Stop it!
Oh my God!
What the hell is that?
They just trampled this lady.
They just trampled that lady!
They just fully trampled that lady.
They just fully trampled that lady.
There's the lady.
There's the lady that was trampled.
Yeah, the lady got fully trampled by the horse.
This is disgusting!
Disgusting!
Oh my God!
Am I attacking older people?
Get that down!
Hold the line!
You guys are disgusting!
Hold the line!
Hold the line!
Hold the line, bitch!
Fine, fine.
Hold the line!
Oh Move on your left!
Move on that side.
Move on your left!
We want that house, we want that house.
Nothing to be get.
We want a house.
Please, please, please.
You don't have to hit him with that. Please, please, please.
You look at me. I'm going to turn you back. They look like they're going to move. You're not going to deny me the right to look at a man like this. Watch out. Watch out.
Watch out. What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? Hold him. Go.
What are you doing?
Hold him!
Stop it!
Keep him!
Keep him!
Stop it!
Stop it!
You just tried and broke him!
You just tried and broke him!
Stop it!
Oh, oh, oh.
There you go.
You all right?
Got shot.
Oh, oh.
Take care.
Bring her out.
Bring her out.
Come on.
Oh, my God.
Is she still on the head?
She's still on the head.
Bring her down there.
Bring her down there.
Bring her to the left here.
Oh, shit.
Guys, take her out of the crowd.
Take her to the right.
Move away, hey.
She's right in the head.
Oh, oh.
Bring her to the left here.
It's safe.
Come on, guys.
Get her out of the crowd.
I think it's all right.
Take her down further.
Get her down.
Get her out of the crowd.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Oh, oh.
Oh my god.
Is it just burning?
What is it?
Just burning?
Is it burning?
What is it?
Oh my God!
What is it?
It burns?
It's hurt!
Okay.
Where?
What happened?
Where?
Where?
Is there a medic?
Do you need help?
Do you need help?
Do you need a medic?
steve bannon
Do you need It's President's Day, and it's President's Day in America, the 21st of February, the year of our Lord, 2022.
I guess it's illegitimate President's Day here.
We're actually, we're celebrating the real presidents, and then we're going to address the illegitimate fraud in the regime here about their, the second article of impeachment trying to instigate a war in Eastern Europe that we have absolutely no business being in.
You're in the war room.
We're live over 140 million downloads podcast course live everywhere I want to thank John Frederick's real America's voice for all the great distribution John Frederick's radio and of course G news and G TV for getting us up in Mandarin to allow Beijing in mainland China and also to the diaspora of the Chinese people and For the Chinese people, and particularly in the mainland that watch it, democracy is a struggle every day.
Democracy is a process and you have to continue to struggle.
You saw right there this regime in Canada led by Castro Trudeau.
Castro Trudeau and really Christa Freeland.
Who is still an active member, I think, of this committee at the World Economic Forum.
She's one of Klaus Schwab's henchmen.
Klaus Schwab, he had that clip, and maybe we'll play that later today or tomorrow.
Klaus Schwab with David Gergen a couple of years ago bragging how two-thirds of the Canadian cabinet around Castro Trudeau were members or graduates of the Young Global Leaders, which is the Hitler Youth of the World Economic Forum, the Parti of Davos.
In which he bragged at first, well, you know, Merkel and Putin are graduates, so it's a whole lot of them.
I want to go first, it was the 18th and 19th of February are two days that will live in infamy for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Right there you saw the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and plus local authorities and just a brutal crackdown of these peaceful protesters of these truck drivers.
I want to go to Viva Frye, by the way, the last, for our podcast audience, Anyway, go to our show notes, go to our website, go subscribe to our free newsletter by email.
You must see the footage of this.
The footage is absolutely shocking, and we only played one one-thousandth of what we could play.
We could play this all day long, and that's because of the great reporting of a number of organizations up there.
I've got to give a hat tip to Ezra LeVant's Rebel News will have Lincoln on in a while.
That last shot was a correspondent of theirs being absolutely brutalized by the police.
And of course, the one and only Viva Frye.
Viva, walk us through what happens.
I think we talked to you on Friday.
The crackdown started then.
Walk us through what actually happened in Ottawa over the last couple of days.
viva frei
Alright, well, morning Steve.
I may not be smiling today because I'm actually exquisitely upset about everything that's going on, like, to the point where I'm gritting my teeth at night and during the day.
The clip that you just played, and for the viewers listening to the podcast, was Alexa Lavoie on Twitter.
The voice Alexa.
The Alexa voice.
It's one or the other.
And they basically, the police, she's wearing full credentials, she's got her rebel media press pass around her neck, she's holding a microphone, and I spoke with her, and she's gonna speak out for herself sooner than later, basically fired a tear gas canister directly at her leg, point blank.
I showed up on Friday.
I mean, I've been going back and forth from Montreal, I think I've done it now 13 or 14 times, just to document what's going on.
At first it started, Just to compare what was going on to what the media was saying was going on, and we've lived through it with me for the last three weeks, nothing but, you might find it obnoxious, you might find it occupying Parliament Hill, but nothing but the most peaceful protest you've ever seen anywhere, hands down.
So much so that Ottawa City Council, they were freaking out about literally bouncy castles and hot tubs on Wellington Street on Parliament Hill.
Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act last Monday, Before they even voted on the directives or the approval of the Emergencies Act, he came in with the cavalry, literally, and a military, literally.
He told Canadians, don't worry, we're not bringing in the military.
Anybody who was there and saw what was there, they may not be wearing military uniforms, but they are as good as a military.
There was RCMP, which is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
There was police from Quebec.
I don't know if it was Sûreté de Québec.
Um, police from other areas, because apparently the OPP, the Ontario Provincial Police, wanted to have nothing to do with this maniacal act of tyranny.
And the police come in, and, you know, I was noticing it, they're just standing in a line.
They're blocking off certain streets, you had to pass a checkpoint to get in, I parked my car well outside, I asked for permission at every checkpoint, you know, I didn't do anything that was not Not allowed in a free and democratic society, but I asked all the police officers, where can I go?
What can I do?
And I'm walking in, and you just see them, like literally stormtroopers out of a horror movie, or out of Starship Troopers, like the enemy force in a line, heavily armed, some of them are wearing face masks, they have batons, they're snipers on rooftops.
There's drones flying in the sky, and they just start inching forward as a wall, you know, very slowly.
You barely even notice it's happening, but you stand there and record over enough time, and you see it's like a tide.
A tide of police just slowly pushing the crowd back.
Anybody who slips, falls, or pushes back gets hauled off and arrested.
And they just kept doing this, and they kept doing it in a manner to provoke a response from the otherwise peaceful crowd.
And that's how it went, from Friday to Saturday, and then eventually they took over all of downtown Ottawa.
When I was there on Friday, I saw them, you know, the police pushing, and it looked like provocation.
They stand there, they stand there, face-to-face with the protesters, and then all of a sudden, they move forward afoot.
And if anybody falls, pushes back, whatever, arrest.
And then this business with the... they're strutting around eight horses through a crowded protest in minus 16 degree weather on icy streets as if they don't think or know that that's a risk.
And based on the leaked messages between RCMP members, they knew damn well it was a risk and might have been even part of the plan to provoke an incident where a horse gets injured and they can blame the crowd.
And then what ends up happening?
What ends up happening happens.
The horses start strutting a little too rowdily, and Trample, an elderly woman who happens to be indigenous, who's there with a stroller or a walker, dislocates her shoulder.
At one point there were rumors that she might have died, but she survived, luckily.
Luckily for Justin Trudeau, that he doesn't actually have a death on his hands.
But by the grace of God, because the difference between surviving and getting killed by a 2,000 pound horse stomping on you, it's a matter of luck, not skill.
That's it.
This is the Canada that we live in now.
Apparently they want to access cell records from anyone within the red zone.
They want to freeze bank accounts of anyone who had anything to do with the protest itself.
They're criminalizing the Constitution in real time, and we have enough Canadians, or sadly too many Canadians, I don't know what percentage they represent, who are like, fine with me.
It doesn't affect me.
I don't like those protesters either, so good for me.
Invoke the Emergencies Act.
Declare...
Authorize banks to seize bank accounts with immunity.
Turn Canada, I don't even want to say turn Canada into China because I don't even know if it's this bad in China.
Although I know that you have the Chinese leader and the leader of Iran tweeting out, you know, well done Justin, good luck trying to lecture us on human rights violations on a going forward basis.
steve bannon
Real quickly, I want you to hold through the break.
We've got Lincoln from Rebel News.
We're trying to get Mike Anderson, the trucker, but we don't know his current status.
I want to go back to this, and it was really called the War Measures Act.
This is something that's never been invoked, I believe, in Canadian history.
Correct me if I'm wrong, you're the lawyer, I'm not.
I thought you then had to, after you invoke it, I thought you had to go to Parliament, to Commons, and make the case, and actually have a debate, and then have a vote of support or not support.
Has that been suspended?
Has Trudeau actually had to go to, has he actually had to present his case of why they had to drop the hammer like this, sir?
viva frei
Not yet.
So what ends up happening, you're correct, this is now called the Emergencies Act.
It replaced the War Measures Act in 1988.
The War Measures Act itself, As far as I understand, was invoked once by Justin Trudeau's father, back in the FLQ crisis, Le Front Libération de Québec, which was a real crisis.
They had kidnappings, they had a parliamentarian was murdered, kidnapped and murdered, Laporte, I forget his first name, I think it was Pierre Laporte.
That was a real crisis, which could justify invoking the War Measures Act.
Trudeau's dad went a little too far with it by all accounts, but regardless, This is now called the Emergencies Act.
The criteria by and large are the same.
A national emergency where the provinces lack the resources to address the emergency.
They didn't declare this during the Elka crisis which was a standoff on a reserve just outside of Montreal where a police officer was killed.
They didn't declare this during the ice storm in Quebec where people were out of electricity for weeks and months sometimes.
They declare it after the Ambassador Bridge had already been cleared.
They declare it after three weeks of this protest On the basis that there was a national emergency.
And the way it works is they declare it, but then they have to ratify it before both the House of Commons and the Senate.
And they have to ratify the measures that the government is arguing are necessary to deal with this national emergency.
They suspended the vote on this.
The debate, sorry.
They suspended the debate on Friday.
Under the pretext that it was such an emergency, so much danger, where the only danger Friday was brought in by the police themselves.
I noticed, I think it was Thursday, they were fencing up Parliament and they couldn't figure out why they were doing it.
Now it's clear why they were doing it.
But they argued Friday.
They couldn't debate.
Couldn't even do it virtually.
And while they have suspended the debate on whether or not to approve and ratify the Emergencies Act and the directives that Trudeau wants to implement, Viva, just hang on for a second.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
I can confirm at least one individual frozen bank account and marshal law.
steve bannon
Viva, just hang on for a second. We're gonna take a short commercial break.
Lincoln from Rebel News will join us with Viva Frye on the other side.
unidentified
War Room, pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room, pandemic. Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, we've got a lot to get to today.
We're going to get into domestic American politics at the Senate.
We're going to talk about house races, about decertification process.
We've got Jack Pasoba coming on later in the show.
Talk about this fiasco, the wag the dog, wag the market situation in Ukraine.
We've got a live report from Ben Harnwell.
Guess what?
In the UK, Boris Johnson has just determined that people that have COVID now don't have to quarantine at all.
The science has changed.
Right as these governments start to scramble one that's not scrambling is the federal government in under the regime of Castro Trudeau.
The Regents have, but they're starting to take off mandates, but they're tripling down just like the Biden administration is here.
They're tripling down in Ottawa.
I want to go now to Lincoln from Rebel News.
The Rebel News guys in Viva 5 just done extraordinary, I mean Pulitzer Prize winning type of just combat photography, combat reporting right in the middle of this.
Lincoln, tell us what it was like and give us an update on where we stand today.
unidentified
Alright, so what I can tell you is, like I said on your show previously, I've been on the ground here since the 28th of January and I saw nothing but an extremely peaceful protest.
I would describe it as a family environment, kids on bouncy castles, food being handed out everywhere.
And then fast forward to this last Friday, it was just like the flick of a switch.
The police came out in full force, like Viva was saying.
Basically, Alexa and I, my colleague, got a phone call that the police were basically dropped off outside of a hotel just down the road from Parliament Hill and basically it was just full on from there.
Like Viva said, they basically just made a line formation with like layers to the line and just started moving in on protesters and would grab Basically anybody that would fall like Viva said and basically anyone they could and when they would grab them they'd pull them behind the police line and just were so aggressive with them and it was just it's just so hard to watch because
It's been the most peaceful peaceful protest for three weeks and Like you guys all saw a horse literally trampled over two people an elderly lady with the Walker But I think like just watching the intro I'm that you guys had on I'm just getting chills watching it to see what happened to my colleague Alexa live law literally getting shot point-blank in the leg with a tear gas canister through a rifle and
steve bannon
It's just, I don't know, growing up... Lincoln, that's where I want to get to.
In being an observer in the middle of it, did you see any activity, can you point to any activity that could have been a provocation To professionals like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and obviously the tactical units of either the Ottawa Police, the regional, whoever they were, these are well-trained tactical units.
Did you see any provocation to either the police or even to the horses?
Because everybody knows the horses are brought in for riot control.
Did you see any provocation?
unidentified
What I saw was I saw completely armed men and women from the police force against completely peaceful Canadians with absolutely no weapons.
They were just kind of trying to hold their ground and that's it and protect the trucks and Like you guys saw, they literally ran horses through a huge crowd of people, just with no regard to anyone there, no regard to if there was elderly people in the crowd.
I literally saw an elderly person fall back in distress.
Some people were saying he had a stroke, heart attack, and I thought he was dying in front of me, and he was just out on the ground.
The response was just so extreme to such a peaceful protest.
It's just hard to wrap your head around.
steve bannon
It hasn't been cleared out.
This morning, as you stated today, is Parliament Hill now totally cleared out of the trucks and the protesters and the truckers?
unidentified
Yeah, it's completely cleared out of trucks.
The truckers convoy, I would say, is officially over.
They've now turned the downtown core into what they call a quote-unquote red zone.
You know, simply me and my colleague went to the corner store just to go grab some food and drinks and just doing that from my hotel is about an 800 meter walk.
We have to go through checkpoints and we didn't have the proper authorization from the hotel that we were supposed to stay there.
So we had to call my other colleague and get her to send it to us.
It's just, it's like a police state here in the downtown core.
So they're only letting people in if they work in the area, if they live in the area and They're very uptight about it.
They'll basically let anyone exit the checkpoints, but they won't let anyone come through them unless they have purpose to do so.
steve bannon
I want to give a report to our audience in the United States is because of this incident and the trucker convoys that are now gathering, the gathering of eagles out there in Barcelona and other places, they're putting the fences up again for Biden's, you know, for illegitimate Joe's, the regime's State of the Union on March 1st, the chain link fences, the fencing.
I'm sure the razor wire is going to come in, but the fencing's already come up here in Washington, so we're going back to, this government's going back to digging in hard.
Real quickly, Lincoln, your reporting's been amazing.
What feel, and I know you couldn't do polling or focus groups, but just a feel.
For the citizens of Ottawa, where are they coming out on this as they've seen both the truckers and now they've seen the violent put down and the city's at least getting back to some sort of normalcy, although it's a city in lockdown.
unidentified
Yeah, so I would say it's about, from what I've gathered on the ground from talking to locals, the citizens of Ottawa, I would say it's about a 50-50, maybe so a 60-40 on the side of people that want the truckers gone.
Um, it's really hard to gauge because the mainstream media, the legacy media here in Canada, is really, like, making the truckers seem like they're really bad people, that they're harassing the citizens.
So, a lot of the locals here, they buy into that and they just, without, you know, seeing for themselves, without actually going to Parliament Hill, walking through it, They're not able to properly gauge what's actually happening because I think if a lot of them actually went for themselves to Parliament Hill, walked through Wellington Street, which is the street that runs right along Parliament of Canada, they would see for themselves that these are just Canadians that want their old country back, the old Canada, the Canada that I grew up in.
And I think a lot of the blame has to be on the politicians and the legacy media for turning this into something it's not, and a lot of people buy into it.
steve bannon
Lincoln, real quickly, your colleague Alexa, that is horrific footage we played there at the opening of the show, a cold open.
Great job, Denver, and great job for our production team here.
Alexa, what's her status?
Is she okay?
unidentified
Yeah, she's okay, but you know, her legs bruised up.
She initially told me that when it happened, there's just so much going on.
It was so chaotic on the front lines there, like absolutely chaotic.
And they really ramped it up the second day where they started dropping tear gas bombs and a lot more pepper spray.
And then she literally got directly hit in the leg.
She's okay now.
She has to go to the hospital, but she's hanging in there.
I don't think anyone expected this to happen, obviously.
steve bannon
Are you going to be live-streaming?
Lincoln, how do people follow you today?
Are you going to be back live-streaming on Rebel News?
unidentified
Yeah, so I've been doing my live streams through Twitter.
You can follow me at LincolnMJ.
That's L-I-N-C-O-L-N-M-J-A-Y.
But Rebel News also has a website where we upload all of our coverage from here in Ottawa.
It's called ConvoyReports.com and through that website you can check out what we've been seeing on the ground here in Ottawa.
steve bannon
Okay, Lincoln, thank you very much.
Honored to have you on here, sir.
unidentified
Thank you so much for having me on.
steve bannon
That's real brave.
You're seeing these young people.
Don't discount them.
Alexa, Lincoln, you've got really brave people.
Viva, we've got a couple minutes.
Viva, I would love to work with our producers during the break and get you back on.
We have Pacific at 11 o'clock.
But I've got to ask you, The core of this is taking the mandates off having some of the provinces agree with the truckers and just dropped it is is is Trudeau and those guys dug in and has this debate continued at all about what were actually the what was the reason for putting in the war measures and for then having this kind of essentially a police presence that really came in as a riot police and Okay, so the first thing is, yes, some of the provinces have been dropping their vaccine passports.
viva frei
The theory, however, is that they're going to drop them in exchange for a federal passport system.
So it's really you're six of one way, half a dozen the other.
So the provinces gain political points by saying, we're dropping it.
Then the federal is going to say, well, we're implementing a federal one.
But we'll see because it's unclear.
All that we know is that provinces, states, countries have been reversing these mandates while Trudeau doubles down, triples down and turns Canada into a full-on police state.
The debate on the Emergencies Act, it would be funny if it weren't so tragic.
I was watching it and I'm like, you want to vomit in your mouth listening to these people talk.
The liberals, they're either liars or they're idiots.
And there's no other way to say it.
Because they're either lying because they know what they're saying are lies, or they're just idiots because they're saying things which are factually incorrect with no basis to do so.
One of the MPs, and I don't remember what his name was, I don't really care either to put him on blast, he's saying, It's dangerous.
People are being harassed for wearing masks.
They're being assaulted.
Yadda yadda.
And first of all, I've been there.
I have 40 hours of life.
Nobody is getting harassed for wearing a mask for one very obvious reason.
Some people are wearing masks so that they don't get identified by the government.
People understand that and respect that.
So it's an outright fabrication of a lie that they keep saying in these debates.
And it's like, it's a joke because it's like a scripted scene from a comedy where one person is just saying A and the other person is saying not A.
steve bannon
But Viva, you've got conservatives in parliament.
Aren't they firing back and saying those are either you're a liar or you're an idiot?
Aren't the conservatives stepping up here?
viva frei
In so many words, maybe, but not quite with that degree of vigor.
And some of them have been, you know, a little bit too much on the side of this anyhow.
And then you've got the NDP, the New Democratic Party, which is supporting Dictatorship policies.
And you got the NDP spouting off the same lies.
You got the Jagmeet Singh.
It's his Twitter handle.
Jagmeet Singh, the leader of the NDP.
Spouting off the exact same lies.
People with swastikas, confederate flags, no room for hate and division in this country.
They are pathological liars, relying on a bot media to propagate their pathological lies.
Anyone who's wanted to see what was going on, they could see it.
But they repeat these lies.
The debate is a joke.
The vote is today.
And I've been putting it on Twitter that this is a vote for Canada.
This is either the end of Justin Trudeau politically or it's the end of Canada politically.
And the NDP that prides themselves on being the people's We will fight till they're all gone!
We rejoice when there's no more!
I've got to step up, but I just took two notes because I've got to say this.
Speaking of the escalation, I've never seen a stun grenade go off.
steve bannon
Viva, hang on for a second.
We're going to bring you back to the break.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
Viva Frye, live in Canada.
We've got Mo Brooks, JD Vance, all of it.
Tough Senate primaries down here in the United States of America, all next in the War Room.
unidentified
We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCP.
They have all lied for too long.
War Room.
Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon.
jd vance
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide Pandemic here's your host Stephen K Bannon We're focused on this border in Ukraine, I don't I gotta be honest with you I don't really care what happens to you frame one way or another Okay, that was JDV Vance.
steve bannon
J.D.
is one of the candidates running this very competitive and tough Republican primary out in Ohio.
He was on the show the other day.
I think it was Friday J.D.
was on.
And we walked through.
J.D.' 's a Marine and served his country.
We talked about the geopolitics and what the globalists are doing right now, this obsession.
It's gotten worse over the weekend.
This has both wagged the dog and wagged the market.
We've actually got a thing from ABC News that Cortez and all of us have been talking about.
I'm going to try to play it.
I think tonight, ABC News actually has a spot out.
Blaming inflation.
The coming next wave of inflation is going to be bigger.
They're blaming it on the Ukraine-Russia situation.
I kid you not.
This is all, you know, they're trying to get cover here.
But what's interesting, after JD Vance came on the show and kind of had this, I think, a very reasoned walking through the position of America first.
Right.
Who are not we're not isolationist at all.
It's called practical reality.
Practical reality.
He was lit up.
He was lit up by one of my favorite clowns, General Barry McCaffrey.
Right.
Who was dead wrong.
We play McCaffrey all the time about Afghanistan.
A complete and total clown.
Okay, and he went after J.D.
Vance.
We can get these tweets up.
Said he's basically, I think he was unsuited to run for public office.
J.D.
Vance, I want to give you a chance to respond to General McCaffrey.
You know, this hard-bitten fool that they roll out, they strut out on MSNBC all the time, is one of the biggest never-Trumpers out there.
J.D.
Vance, what do you have to say about General McCaffrey coming at you saying you're not, I think he said you're not fit for public officer?
jd vance
Yeah, not fit for public office, and I'm a Russian stooge, Steve, because I don't want America's sons and daughters to go and fight for a war, fight for a country that has nothing to do with them.
I mean, look, McCaffrey served his country honorably, something I've been reminded on on Twitter repeatedly, but the issue is not whether McCaffrey served his country honorably, The issue was whether for 20 years he's been right about a single major foreign policy decision in this country.
And not just that, Steve.
It's not just that he's been wrong about all of these stupid military misadventures that have gotten our sons and daughters killed.
It's that he has profited from it.
There is not a dead American son or daughter overseas that has not made Barry McCaffrey richer.
Let's be honest about that fact.
Let's be honest about the fact that the defense contractors that he sits on the board of.
Let's be honest about the fact that he has taken a ton of money to advocate for non-stop wars that have nothing to do with our national interests.
And it's not just him, right?
McCaffrey's an idiot.
He's a cog in the wheel of a machine that constantly focuses on these distracting, stupid conflicts instead of the issues that we need to face and confront right here at home.
steve bannon
Okay, but here's the point.
You're a fire-breathing populist that comes from an Ivy League school.
You're one of the smartest guys I've met.
Let's say you actually win this tough primary and then beat Sherrod Brown's mini-me, Tim Ryan, in the general.
What is J.D.
Vance going to do about it?
Because we have a crisis now about this administrative state, right?
The way they roll.
And you can see this all weekend with the Ukraine.
J.D., what do you propose to do about it?
jd vance
Look, man, a couple things.
First, I think we have to focus on the problems here at home, right?
Which is why I talked last week about declaring the Mexican borders, excuse me, the Mexican cartels a terrorist organization so that we can fight against them.
But if you zoom out a little bit, the thing that we need to make it easier to do, Steve, is fire the bureaucrats and force them to suffer consequences when they do these things.
Bill Kristol has made millions of dollars, just one guy.
Bill Kristol's made millions of dollars falsely disparaging Trump as a Russian stooge, doing the same exact thing to yours truly, and at the same time he has plundered us into a ton of military conflicts that have gotten American boys and girls killed.
He has not faced a single consequence.
He has not had a single one of his contracts canceled.
I think there's a good chance that Bill Kristol has committed crimes in this country, but nobody, even a lot of Republicans, is willing to investigate the connection between the decline of American sovereignty and these ridiculous military conflicts these guys keep getting us involved in.
That's going to change when I'm in the Senate.
steve bannon
So you're proposing you will actually have deep dive investigations on guys like McCaffrey, Crystal, this whole crowd that's tied up with the administrative state that's basically making money off the endless wars as the deplorable sons and daughters go over and sacrifice themselves and as they continue to pay for it both with their taxes and also in their pension funds, all the private equity that's used to this.
You're saying you would actually advocate and you will lead the charge to do real investigations and hold people accountable with real penalties on this?
jd vance
Absolutely, Steve.
That's what we have to do.
These people respond to one thing.
Consequences, man.
There's nothing else.
There's no finger wagging that's going to do it.
There's no complaining that's going to do it.
We need to actually dig in deep, understand what the hell is going on, and get the people who are killing our people, both here at home and overseas, get them to suffer some consequences for what they're doing.
I absolutely promise to do that.
steve bannon
Okay, I just want to say, at West Point I think they call it being found.
McCaffrey, you've just been found.
So what response do you have?
General McCaffrey, you said you're dead wrong on every issue and you've been making money, blood money, off of this.
I want to see you up on Twitter, sir, answering the charges against you, because you're going to be held accountable for this, and Crystal's going to be held accountable for this.
Accountability Project starts Right after November 8th election as we shatter the Democratic Party.
I'll talk more about that later, the demographics of it.
Rasmussen showing, I think, 33% of African Americans are now going to vote for the generic Republican ballot.
Up on my getter feed, we've got a McAllen Sunday paper in McAllen, Texas, kind of the capital of the Rio Grande Valley.

steve bannon
Vance, how do people find out more about you and how they actually get to your social media?
Because you're running a firefight non-stop against these guys.
How do people find out more about you and how they actually get to your social media?
Because you're running a firefight non-stop against these guys.
How do people follow you?
jd vance
I'm on Twitter, Facebook, Gitter, all the social media.
They can go to JDVance.com to follow the website.
And the thing I just say, man, is the same people that tried to destroy Trump's presidency are the same people trying to destroy me as a Senate candidate.
There is a reason why.
They know I'm not going to Washington to go along to get along.
They know I'm actually going to force these people to suffer some consequences.
That's what we've got to do if we're going to take this country back.
steve bannon
Okay, not just the first term, they're out to destroy Trump now, and these, listen, we've got to take care of this, because they're going to try to, don't think because we went on a landslide, a crushing victory in November this year, and then a landslide with Trump at 24, they're just going to toss us the keys and say, what a brilliant idea, why don't you guys just take it and drive for a while.
It's going to be the same thing except worse, because now they're like wounded, cornered animals.
The administrative state is going to strike back like you cannot believe.
That's why we've got to start taking these, I think we've got to start calling these guys out now and identifying them.
Let's make them famous.
Our McCaffrey situation in Crystal, let's make them infamous.
J.D.
Vance, thank you very much for changing your schedule to come on today.
Appreciate it.
unidentified
Thanks, Steve.
steve bannon
Okay, I want to go now to Mo Brooks, one of the great fire-breathing populists down in the great state of Alabama.
Congressman Brooks, you're running for the Senate down there.
We've been talking about this for a long time, and now the Hill newspaper has it as its lead story.
You got Shelby down in Alabama and Leahy in Vermont, these two old dinosaurs in the Senate.
They're putting together the appropriations bill six months late.
They're talking about a massive increase to defense spending and a concomitant massive increase to social spending.
It looks like we could have a 1.5 trillion, they're going to agree to 250 billion dollars of additional spending over the 1.25 discretionary that we have today that's all deficits.
You could have a deficit in this appropriations of 1.5 trillion dollars.
It boggles the mind because this is going to go on in perpetuity.
How can the people in Alabama, or do they support Shelby's quote-unquote deal-making where he's just putting the burden on the working class because all they're going to do is print money.
They can't raise taxes to pay for this.
They can't sell the bonds to the Japanese to pay for it.
They got to just print, just quantitative easing, more printing of money, more deficit spending.
Did the folks in Alabama, one, do they understand what's going on because it's being hidden from them?
And number two, do you think they agree with it, sir?
unidentified
Well, I'm hopeful that the people of the state of Alabama will figure out what the true facts are and understand that I'm the only conservative running in this race.
Certainly, we're doing our best to project that, but we've got two liberals, two rhinos, who have a lot of money, many, many millions of dollars, and the first thing they do is run ads that portray them falsely, I might add, that portray them as conservatives when they're clearly not conservatives.
The empirical evidence is overwhelming.
That the two principal opponents of mine are not in any way, shape, or form conservatives.
So we're going to do what we can.
On my side, I agree with you.
We have too many senators and too many congressmen who are wholly and completely financially irresponsible.
We've just blown through a $30 trillion debt mark, and America can't afford any more of these debt junkies, as you are witnessing right now with what's happening in the United States Senate.
We have to have some mature people, some people who are financially responsible, who will do what it takes to prevent our great nation from suffering a debilitating and dangerous national insolvency and bankruptcy.
But the people in power in Washington, D.C.
right now, they don't care.
They're willing to take that chance if it will help them win their next election.
And for emphasis, we've had a $3 trillion deficit, a $3 trillion deficit, and now somewhere over a trillion dollar deficit.
We don't know how far in excess of a trillion it will be, but it will be bad.
And as Gene Dodaro, Comptroller General of the United States, has warned us time and time again, this kind of spending is unsustainable.
Unsustainable is accounting language for you're facing a national insolvency and bankruptcy.
So America, wake up or lose it.
steve bannon
The folks out there, I think, get this because they've got to balance their own checkbooks.
Moe, why is it that, and even good people come here to D.C., why is it that both in the House and in the Senate of both parties, they just don't even want to talk about this?
They just continue to raise the spending, sir.
unidentified
Well, two reasons.
First and foremost are special interest groups that live off of our tax dollars.
By way of example, one of my opponents is a special interest group, Darling.
She's been a lobbyist herself, registered lobbyist, five of the last seven years of her career.
And the special interest groups are the ones that, to a very large degree, finance campaigns.
That's a big part of it.
On the Washington, D.C.
side of the coin, you've got senators and congressmen and candidates for these positions that are afraid to run a campaign without these special interest dollars.
So as a consequence, they'll do and say anything to get elected, but once in office, they morph into something different.
They're basically puppets of these special interest groups, and that's where the money flows, the deficits increase, and we get closer and closer to Judgment Day with a national insolvency and bankruptcy.
So you put those two together, special interest groups and weak character candidates and officeholders, and you have a debacle.
steve bannon
We've got about a minute, Mo.
I just want to go back and ask you.
You're saying the conservatives are running against you in this primary are actually liberals?
Is that your point?
unidentified
Absolutely.
I've got one, by the way, of example, Katie Britt.
I don't know if she's seen a tax increase that she has not supported.
She may have supported more tax increases than anyone else as a Republican in the history of the state of Alabama.
Time will tell if there's someone else who's been more aggressive in supporting tax increases.
And then you've got another gentleman by the name of Mike Durant.
He was recruited by More Perfect Union, a very left-wing organization, big tech oligarchs, spending millions of dollars to try to help him Be the Republican nominee.
There was a recent article that described him as a Trojan horse.
I wholeheartedly agree with that article.
And by way of one example of what I'm talking about, you're a conservative, I'm a conservative.
What do we do?
We vote.
We participate in elections.
Yet, Mike Durant has skipped.
He's been absent 15 of the last 18 statewide elections in the state of Alabama.
He's not participated in a Republican primary, a Republican runoff, A legislative race or a governor's race in the last dozen years.
That's a harbinger of someone who is not a conservative, because we conservatives vote.

Mo, real quickly, how do people get to your campaign website?

The War Room, myself, my own personal account, Captain Bannon, and others associated with the War Room policy.
Of course, Jack Vesovic is a must-read.
It's like a constant news flow.
It's like a sophisticated Associated Press.
Let's go to Viva Frye.
Viva's in Canada.
Viva, walk us through this debate.
You said something very dramatic before we brought the Senate candidates on, that one or two things will happen today.
Either you'll have old Canada or you're going to have a repudiation of Trudeau's regime.
Walk us through, what's at stake here for this debate?
I understand now they have a vote at 6 o'clock tonight?
viva frei
Yeah, the vote is this evening at some point.
I don't know if there's any more debates today.
If there are, I might try to live stream and react without, you know, regurgitating in my mouth.
They've been debating for it and they're going to vote on it.
And they're going to vote on whether or not to ratify the declaration and some of the measures which have been declared, which have been implemented already in the absence of being ratified by the House of Commons and the Senate.
But I mean, it's not hyperbole.
And I think enough damage to Canada has been done, but this is either the political end of Justin Trudeau if this gets defeated, or it's the political end of Canada if it gets ratified.
Because people don't understand what is actually going on here.
There have been rumors of some donors with $50 donations to this convoy having their accounts frozen.
I haven't seen those substantiated.
I do know that they've detained the two organizers of this convoy.
Tamara has been detained since Friday night and had her bail hearing postponed until Tuesday.
Someone who's being arrested ostensibly on mischief or inciting mischief has been detained now for four days.
And I've been speaking with some of the lawyers representing the accused.
They're saying that the bail hearings or the bail conditions that are being set are things they don't even see with violent criminals or drug dealers.
This is literally being used like a January 6th in the States.
Except there was actually no violence whatsoever here.
I mean, arguable as to how much violence characterized January 6th, but not arguable that there was no violence here until the cops showed up on Friday and...
Steve, one event, like, you know, I try to stay back because I'm not trying to antagonize anybody.
I was recording when the police were marching up one of the streets, pushing everyone back off Parliament Hill.
And they're inching forward.
I'm like, oh, this is interesting.
The crowd of protesters first sings the national anthem and then they start chanting, we love you to the cops.
We love you.
And I'm panning around just to say, and then the cops detonate two flash grenades or concussive grenades.
In this crowd and then like it's it was a direct response.
It couldn't have been an accident They hear them saying we love you We love you, and then they detonate two stun grenades to this crowd for no reason whatsoever they had snipers on the roofs of drones in the sky and Another anecdote that I have to share, I didn't see this with my own eyes, but I interviewed an Afghan veteran.
The only survivor from an IED that blew up his convoy, three of his brothers and sisters in Afghanistan, in the car, died.
He was stitched together, repaired, broken leg, broken nose, everything.
Stitched together, was at the protest, was violently arrested.
And he's a frail man.
I mean, he's frailer than I was.
I don't know if it's as a result of the injuries.
Frail.
Was arrested, assaulted when he was arrested, had his hands tied behind his back with zip ties for two hours, and then was hauled off out of downtown Ottawa, 20 minutes outside, he didn't know where, and dumped off on the street.
And then what does he do?
He comes right back.
But you listen to this story of an actual Afghan vet, there protesting, viciously and violently arrested by Trudeau's regime, whisked off after being detained and handcuffed for two hours in the blistering cold, and then dropped somewhere off far away so he has to make his way back to This is Canada.
And if the NDP and any other politicians approve these measures, that Supreme Leader Justin Trudeau, who admires dictators and he's been saying it out loud, if they ratify this, they are destroying Canada, they are sinking Canada, and we're going to live in a Canada where, hey, if someone decides they don't like your political donations, you have to worry about whether or not they're going to freeze your bank account.
That's not Canada.
And I wouldn't even say that that's I won't even compare it.
But this is a vote for Canada tonight.
And I think the damage has been done.
But it could be much worse.
steve bannon
We'll come to you on a five o'clock show as the day goes.
So Viva, how do people follow you?
How do they get to your many different sites to follow your breaking news and analysis?
viva frei
So, typically it's VivaFry on YouTube and Rumble.
I'm going to use VivaFry on Getter.
I have both the VivaFry and VivaFry on Getter.
But I'm going to go with VivaFry because I want to avoid the Twitter.
Because Twitter, I'm the VivaFry.
Barnes and I do these weekly discussions.
VivaBarnesLaw.Locals.com where we can have uncensored discussion.
And I'm just going to keep plugging away.
I'm not going back to Ottawa.
It's not a place for me to go back to anymore.
It's a police state there.
I don't have credentials.
They'll look for a good reason to arrest me.
The only people left there now There are angry police and the angry residents who have been brainwashed into thinking that the convoy was worse than the government, that the illness was worse than the cure.
Wait until they see the cure now, because if they thought downtown Ottawa was blocked off because of this convoy, it is now an official police state in Ottawa, and this is Justin Trudeau's Canada, and this is what's at stake for the vote tonight.
steve bannon
Viva.
Godspeed.
You've been doing amazing work.
Hopefully see you tonight.
unidentified
Thank you.
viva frei
Thank you.
steve bannon
Viva Frye.
I want to go to Jack Posobiec.
Posobiec, we've got convoys on the West Coast that are starting to form.
You've got the DCs already putting up.
You've seen it before when you were at One America down by your studio.
They're putting up the chain link fence again.
We've got about a minute.
We're going to hold you through the break.
Give us your first assessment of Canada, sir.
jack posobiec
Well, we're starting to see, look, it's what we said before, what happens in Europe comes to the United States a few weeks later.
Now we're starting to see that what happens in Ottawa takes place in Washington, D.C.
We saw this earlier.
Remember, one year ago, 2021, when the Biden regime was installed, they did so under military occupation of the national capital region.
We are now starting to see those same implementations Go up the security barricades.
We're going to probably see National Guard.
We've got reports that National Guard are being called up for March 1st.
One March is the State of the Union.
And so many of these narratives, whether it be the truckers in Canada, whether it be the convoy in the United States, whether it be Russia, Ukraine, even COVID, the lockdowns mandates, all of this is going directly towards the State of the Union speech.
The White House is keenly focused on that, laser focused.
They're going to try to lay the blame for everything on Vladimir Putin, the truckers, the protesters, and take credit for all the wins for Biden.
steve bannon
Jack, just hang on.
I'll hold you through the break.
Also, March 1st, in a great sense of irony, is the primary in the great state of Texas where the Republicans are going to show up in massive force to destroy the Democratic Party.
