The American offshoot of Canada's so-called Freedom Convoy is getting ready for some kind of action around Washington tomorrow.
The convoy is getting to Maryland today.
This is what you're looking at from right around Pittsburgh.
Participants making their way through PA on your screen there.
But one of the notable departures from the convoy in Canada, the reason for protesting in the first place, since criticism of vaccine and mask mandates are a little bit moot, right, now that those restrictions are being lifted around the country.
So what's the deal?
What are these truckers looking for now?
Quote, accountability.
Okay.
Accountability on what?
A whole range of things.
Kind of depends who you ask.
NBC News senior reporter Ben Collins reports that part of the focus of the group that planned the convoy has shifted more recently to a conspiracy theory about the war in Ukraine.
And this totally made-up story that former President Trump and Vladimir Putin are secretly working together to stop bioweapons from being made by Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Ben Collins is here with us now.
So, Ben, like, what?
Please, please explain this.
Yeah, look, as they made their way across the country, this has been, you know, about two or three weeks now since they've come from Atlanta, California, all the way to Washington, D.C., picking up people along the way.
Mass mandates have lifted So they have not really had a specific unifying message.
They think they had something to do with those mask mandates lifting and not the decline of the Omicron variant.
So they think that they have personally done something here.
So now they want to take it a step further.
Now they want what they say is accountability for what they call crimes against humanity, which are masking children or vaccine mandates.
Accountability can mean anything to any number of these people, but there is a very heavy cue and unhinged to this sort of thing.
The idea of military tribunals or things like that.
And that's where you're getting this anti-Ukraine talking point.
The idea that Anthony Fauci has biolabs, he's creating another coronavirus in these biolabs, and that this is some sort of secret operation to take out the deep state in Ukraine.
That is their idea here of sort of squaring this unsquareable circle, where for years they were told maybe Vladimir Putin wasn't the bad guy, but they're seeing all these horrific images in Ukraine, and now they're sort of trying to figure out a way for all this narrative to make sense.
So what is the plan for tomorrow?
Where do things stand on that front for what we should expect to see where I am in Washington, Ben?
It's really unclear.
They're in Hagerstown, Maryland right now.
They've been going from small town to small town all throughout the country, refueling, giving stump speeches at these small places.
But, you know, even until right now, they were in Indianapolis for basically two days, and they're still trying to figure out a plan for what to do in Washington, D.C.
Sometimes they're saying that they're being mumb about it because they don't want to tip off the police there.
And some of them say they want to go to the White House, which they're not going to make it to the White House, obviously.
Some of them say they want to block the Beltway, but that's 64 miles long.
So it's kind of unclear where exactly they would do that and how they would do that.
I can tell you right now, Hallie, a lot of people have written this off because there have been these false starts all throughout the country.
This one has picked up steam.
There are people waiting on those overpasses just to wave to them as they come by all across the country.
There are hundreds of cars in this convoy.
There are dozens of semis in this convoy.
So, one way or another, there's going to be something in Washtenaw tomorrow.
We just don't know what it is.
Okay.
Anything else about this sort of range of, I don't know, Ben, I hesitate to say demands, right, but like range of requests?
Yeah, it's kind of unclear.
They kind of won.
They think that they won.
They think they had something to do with these mass mandates being taken out.
But look, they had nothing to do with that.
You can't convince them of that.
They're in their own completely separate media ecosystem.
The issue is now, because it's so nebulous, they're trying to Sort of wedge in this Ukraine talking point where it doesn't really make sense.
It doesn't fit with the rest of it.
But they don't want to come off as like whiny in the midst of a real brutal war and real brutal oppression.
So they're trying to wedge themselves into here.
It's just not really working out in the way they want.
steve bannon
It's not working out in the way they want.
MSNBC finally, and Ben Collins tweeted out, Ben is their, Ben Collins is kind of their new media correspondent, so he watches stuff like this.
Ben sent out a tweet earlier, I hate, I'm not happy to report this, but this is real.
Of course it's real.
The War Room's been on this since folks started getting ready and organizing this, what, a week or 10 days before Barstow, California.
Ben Berquam's out there, Real America's Voice.
You've got Michael Yount out there for us.
You've got Spiropoulos.
Of course, you've got Maureen Steele and the entire organizing group.
And most importantly, I think we've got Claire Dooley and these young women that are there for the Children's Health Defense TV.
They've been live streaming the entire time.
This is a self-organizing So, you know, and here's the thing.
When MSNBC had to report the facts, when Ben Collins had to report actually the facts, it's a pretty accurate news report about what's going on, how big it's gotten, how it's picking up momentum.
When he had to then get into the speculation, then they get off to the races.
And, of course, they've got to smear.
The truckers.
Oh, it's a QAnon, right?
It's about biolabs in Ukraine.
Although, the accountability project, as we say, is going to start on November 9th.
We're going to get to the details and the receipts.
We know that Tony Fauci funded a bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China.
That's obvious.
The receipts are there.
We've seen that.
We've seen the emails.
We've seen the back and forth.
We know for a fact, that is a fact, that Tony Fauci helped to fund research at a bioweapons lab run by the PLA in Wuhan, where the CCP virus came from.
Not from a wet market, from that lab.
I want to go to Claire Dooley now with Children's Health Defense.
Her and Ariana Victor have been doing such a great job in the live streaming.
So, Claire, first off, it was, I think it was, it was really you guys did the best job about this accountability, A.C.E., right?
But, and you've talked about accountability from elected officials and from the executives in Washington, D.C., about what went on here.
We know for a fact That the cratering, particularly the mass mandates, came when the convoys started and picked up steam.
These people back here in this city, the imperial city, panicked.
They couldn't wait to get rid of the mass mandates and try to take away.
Maybe the truckers will just go home then.
The truckers are not going home.
The truckers are not going home, and the reason they're not going home, it's also about accountability.
How this happened, who's responsible, and who's going to be held accountable.
Claire Dooley, first off, have you heard any word out there at all among the truckers that you've been embedded with now for a couple weeks about QAnon or biolabs run by Fauci and that Donald Trump and Putin had some sort of deal, ma'am?
unidentified
I'll tell you what, Steve, as soon as I watched this news broadcast, I was completely shocked at just how incorrect every single thing they said was.
So first off, QAnon has not been mentioned.
I have not heard the word once the entire time I have been here.
And second off, the whole entire notion that this convoy is trying to play off the Russia-Ukraine war is also completely ridiculous.
I mean, we're here fighting for our American freedoms.
This convoy is here fighting for American freedoms, and nobody has said a single word about this being about Russia and Ukraine.
And even further, to go off of that, every single speech that the organizers have in every single city, what they're constantly saying is, this is not about a political party, right?
So MSNBC says they're pro Trump.
This is not about a political party.
Everywhere they go, they say, this is not about politics.
This is not about your race, your gender, your sexual orientation.
This is about maintaining our constitutional rights and for people to be held accountable for the horrific damages we've seen in our economy, socially, and in the entire sphere of the COVID lockdowns and restrictions.
So this is about emergency orders, and we had expected that to happen.
So as soon as we took off, they lifted the mandates.
And so now the question is, well, what are you fighting for if you're lifting mandates?
Well, the answer to that is we never want to go back to what we just experienced.
So the convoy is standing up and saying, if you do this again, the American people will not stand behind you.
And another thing Brian Braze, the leader of the convoy, is saying is, we need to remind the government that they work for us.
And right now, they're listening to pharmaceutical companies and big tech.
They're not listening to us.
And so this is about reminding the government that they work for us.
This is a protest.
And if you think that it's just about masks, and it's just about mandates, and it's just about vaccines, then you're missing the entire point.
steve bannon
What I'm really proud of is you guys have come across the country and done it so peacefully.
And this thing has picked up, you know, I don't know, it's 60, 70 miles long.
It grows and it shrinks at different times.
But you're heading into Hagerstown now, which is just outside of Washington.
You've put the fear of God in him.
Remember, Ben Collins is one of the smartest young people they have over at MSNBC.
That's where he covers this kind of new media and everything related to that.
They've been watching this from the very beginning.
They've been watching this from the very beginning.
OK?
Closely.
And you see in his tweet today, I'm not happy to report.
Dude, you're supposed to be a reporter.
You're supposed to just report it.
You know, you're not supposed to put your thumb on the scale.
Just report it.
Just report the facts.
I'm not happy to report.
What you're not happy to report is the righteous indignation of the American people, as personified by the working class entrepreneurs and the owner-operators of these big rigs, the truckers.
That's why they're the perfect representation of the American working man and woman, along with all the people in RVs and the SUVs and the cars that have come along, etc., to join the big rigs.
I want to go back to something, Claire, that you said early on, and you said it's about accountability.
And you want to make sure, and it's on the record, that people are going to be held accountable for what they've done, because now they're like rats leaving the ship.
We don't have any mask mandates.
Truckers don't need to come.
Please, truckers, it's all over.
We took the mask off.
No mask mandates.
So you don't need to do anything.
Talk to us once again.
What is the concept?
of accountability as you see it and we know Children's Health Defense has done such a great job of highlighting all these issues about how this city's owned by big pharma and big tech.
unidentified
Claire Dooley. Yeah so Bobby Kennedy is the real Anthony Fauci. The new book that he came out with kind of covers the entire corruption and fraud just with Fauci alone.
But there's accountability to be had for all of these companies that are discriminating against their employees for not getting experimental injections, for not wearing, covering their faces and limiting their oxygen, that the children in school who are having to wear masks For a virus that was never going to kill them.
And now the CDC is delaying developmental milestones to 3 years old, 4 years old for talking.
We're seeing dramatic effects of these lockdowns.
Suicide rates, alcoholism, all these different issues are skyrocketing.
And we're just going to pretend like that wasn't their fault?
That's not going to fly.
And these people here, that's what they want to do.
They want to hold politicians, corporations, public health officials accountable for what they have done.
steve bannon
Claire, how can people get to you now that you're going to have this rally point at Hagerstown?
And by the way, I just want to make sure that the War Room crew, the War Room cadre, the posse understands we're going to do wall-to-wall coverage tomorrow from Hagerstown.
We're going to have, you know, Sprapless will be up there.
Ben Burquam will be up there.
We'll get Claire Dooley, Maureen Steele, also the truckers.
We're going to have wall-to-wall coverage tomorrow of the rally point right outside of the Beltway of Washington, D.C.
in Hagerstown.
Marilyn.
Claire, how do people get to you, and when I say get to you, not just to the Children's Health Defense TV, which you've done an amazing job live streaming and doing interviews, etc., but also to get access to the book.
I cannot recommend a book higher than Bobby Kennedy Jr.' 's The Real Anthony Fauci.
Now look, It is, it is, it's, it's, when I say it's not accessible, it's, it's, it's, it's a tough read, but once you start reading it, you won't put it down.
It's, it's insanely documented.
It's, it's almost like a legal proceeding or a legal brief, and that's why everybody ought to read it, because there's no kidding around.
This is not written like a novel.
This is written like, like a legal brief, and you ought to read it because it is mesmerizing.
How do people get to you and all the good work that Children's Health Defense is doing?
unidentified
So you can visit our website, ChildrensHealthDefense.org.
And I personally work with Children's Health Defense TV.
So it's live.ChildrensHealthDefense.org is where we go live every day.
And if you're looking for Bobby Kennedy's new book, you'll find that at ChildrensHealthDefense.org.
And I would also like to mention that the People's Convoy is still taking donations for fuel, for all of their expenses for the entire convoy to have food and water and security.
And you can donate to them at thepeoplesconvoy.org and you'll know that it's in good hands.
steve bannon
Claire, thank you very much.
Look forward to seeing you on the show tomorrow.
unidentified
Thank you so much.
steve bannon
Claire Dooley of Children's Health Defense TV.
Okay, like I said, wall-to-wall tomorrow.
We're going to do everything about the war, everything about how the war is going to impact you, everything about decisions you're going to have to make.
Because the politicians are ultimately going to have to come to you to ask permission for what they're going to attempt to do.
Also, wall-to-wall with the truckers.
We have a ton of people out there who are going to do wall-to-wall coverage, and you're actually going to get to meet some of the truckers tomorrow.
Okay, short commercial break.
We're going to come back.
Major developments today in this third world war.
We'll take you there in a moment.
vernon jones
We will fight till they're all gone!
unidentified
We rejoice when there's no more!
vernon jones
Let's take down the teacher!
katy tur
They've made a lot of progress in the South, but they're still stalled in the North, so explain this all to me.
unidentified
That's right, Katie.
Week one, we were talking essentially about Russian failures, but in the last 72 hours, we're starting to see Russian successes.
Crimea here, taken in 2014 by the Russians, this force has moved out and created a land bridge that you see connecting them with the breakaway republics that the Russians already control.
Now they're laying siege right here to this town, Mariupol.
This is total war.
This is a cutting off electricity, endless bombardments.
I think it forecasts what we might see if there was a siege of Kiev.
Separately, I want to take a step back, though, and focus on the new developments in the last few hours and in the past day.
One, here in Kiev, you're seeing them advance out.
And move to here, Kherson.
Kherson has a critical bridge that the Russians were able to take.
They were also able to open up a canal that had been shut off after 2014, which was providing, which can now provide fresh water into Crimea.
That speaks even more to their advance.
When you look here, they've moved overnight.
They're advancing on Mykolaiv.
And what's interesting about Mykolaiv is this.
When you zoom in here, this is a population center, but it's also a river with a major bridge and a bridge crossing.
If they can cross this bridge here, if they can move further to the west, they'll essentially be able to move unimpeded all the way to Moldova.
They also have a force there in Tranistria, which is a breakaway republic.
That force, should they be able to bring it together, they'll be able to advance from here to Arsene, today to Mykolaiv, and if they can break through here, they would have almost a straight shot.
to Moldova.
If they're able to do that, they would essentially cut off the southern coast.
They could then surround Odessa.
And if they can take the south, they'd be able to bring in forces by water over time.
So very significant development in the south.
And I think that's the real question here is if they seal off all the water accesses, Ukraine's resupply, it's got to come over land, it's got to come from Poland.
katy tur
So we're seeing a lot of progress again in the South, but why is that 40 mile long stall or stretch of Russian tanks in the North going toward Kiev still stalled?
unidentified
So this is that convoy we've been talking about for several days.
Several things about this.
One, they're just stacking up combat power.
This isn't even a real military formation.
It looks like a traffic jam.
And that's because they're not really afraid of any sort of airstrikes at this point.
Now, there have been some developments, which is in and around Kiev.
The defense minister has said that inside Kiev itself, over here you see this airfield.
I'll try and direct you to it.
This airfield here, essentially airborne forces had tried to take it in the early days of the war.
That convoy was literally approaching it.
The Ukrainian defense minister says that they pushed it back.
And that's several questions.
One, there's talks of airstrikes and air power.
Maybe Ukraine still has some air power.
But separately, there's talks of insurgents possibly bombing that in the rear lines or special operations forces and maybe a blown bridge, essentially just halting that convoy over and over so it can't get to Kiev.
katy tur
Is there a point in which Vladimir Putin or is there a worry that there's a point where Vladimir Putin says you might not be physically fighting me but I feel like you're fighting me and then takes aggressive action?
unidentified
Well, he certainly already feels that way.
I think there's a big difference.
In the United States and in NATO, Katie, there's a general perspective that you can't do a no-fly zone because that could lead to World War III.
You can't send troops on the ground to defend Ukrainians because that could lead to World War III.
But you can provide incredibly advanced weapons systems to the Ukrainians.
You can give them real-time intelligence on the disposition of Russian forces.
And you can destroy the Russian economy.
And those things are below the bar.
From Putin's perspective, all of those things are acts of war.
But at the same time, there are these growing calls, as we're seeing these continuing images harrowing sites out of Ukraine, for NATO and the West to do something more than just economic sanctions, to actually intervene militarily, or at least impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine.
The Secretary General of NATO, he said that the West has an obligation not to do that.
With regard to the no-fly zone, I think you heard NATO Secretary Donald Stoltenberg speak to this earlier today.
One of the responsibilities we have, even as we are Doing everything we can to give the Ukrainian people the means to defend themselves effectively against Russia.
We also have a responsibility, as the Secretary General said, to ensure that the war doesn't spill over even beyond Ukraine.
And again, because I think he put it so well, as he noted, the only way to actually implement something like a no-fly zone is to send NATO planes into Ukrainian airspace and to shoot down Russian planes.
steve bannon
Okay, they're jammed up right now, because they've misled the Ukrainian people about their level of support, and that's why you're seeing this bloodshed, as the Russians continue to pound away.
The one question I have for the military, particularly look at, it's Clint Watts, I think he's a West Point grad, and I think he does the most succinct analysis of what's happening.
Talks about the land bridge, talks about the coming siege of Kiev.
The one thing I've just been wondering from day one, why is the Ukrainian military, if it's that organized, why are they not blowing the bridges?
Particularly in the south.
If you want to stop the Russians from getting this land bridge, you've got to blow the bridges over these rivers and creeks.
A lot of this is like the low country in if you saw Operation Market Garden and Bridge Too Far, you have to blow the bridges.
You have to blow the bridges.
And they haven't done that.
And that's why the Russians and the Russians get that complete land bridge in the south.
They're going to have all all access by the sea is going to be controlled by them.
It's this this war.
So everybody's criticizing.
I think Clinton wants at the beginning, people criticize Putin, at least their military strategy and tactics.
But the last couple of days, it looks like it's starting to work.
Also, that was Ian Bremmer.
This is very important.
We talked about hybrid warfare this morning and unrestricted warfare, weapons, advanced weapons systems, real time intelligence on Russian targets and destroy the Russian economy.
We think that it's below the radar scope.
Putin thinks those are acts of war.
And this is what we keep saying.
Joe Biden has to come forward and we should start seeing some maturity people like Lindsey Graham, we're going to have the guys, Michael Patrick Layheon here.
Lindsey Graham's got a term in assassinating people, massive escalation. It's time for everybody to take a deep breath and start to act like adults and approach the American people with exactly what's going on, what's at stake. Matthew Tierman joins us from Warsaw. Matthew, get us up to date on what you know there in the Polish capital. Well, actually, I'm here in Krakow, which is the secondary capital of Poland. And, you know, one quick remark, taking the train from Warsaw, the central station, the biggest station in the
matthew tyrmand
country, down to Krakow, the second biggest station in the country, absolutely packed with refugees and huge amount of aid workers wearing vests for the mothers and the children in Cyrillic, trying to get them into the different cities, place them to where they can be sheltered for the, you know, the interim.
We don't know how long this is going to last.
I think that, you know, honestly, sometimes it pains me to say it, but the coverage that you showed from the MSM on the breakdown of where the battle is and how it's now coming from the South is really, really accurate.
And it's really, really troubling if you're Ukrainian.
They are about to take control of the entire South.
They already have Mariupol.
They have Crimea.
They have Nikolayev, which they showed where there's a bridge, but more importantly, there's an airfield there.
That was the airfield that defended Crimea from the Kiev side, from the West side.
They have that, and now they're making a play for Odessa.
If they get Odessa, then it is a foregone conclusion with Transnistria that they're going to make a play at Moldova, which is now a second country where they're going to be playing a global geopolitical game.
And it's not coincidental that it's Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia that are all at the same moment petitioning for EU membership and obviously soon to follow NATO membership.
And then Moldova's on the border of Romania, which is a large NATO member but a weak NATO member that does not have strong defences, has not upgraded its military to the degree that Poland has.
None of that's coincidental.
steve bannon
Let me ask you about this question about the no-fly zone, and particularly the kinetic war.
We see that the Russians are very slowly trying to strangle the provinces.
They've got the provinces in the east.
They're trying to get a land bridge in the south to control that.
They're looking to siege Kiev.
But this thing about advanced weapons systems, intel, and particularly destroying their economy, the economic warfare.
Is Ian Bremmer correct?
Does Putin see those as acts of war?
matthew tyrmand
Yes, I really, really, again, it pains me to ever give Ian Bremmer, one of the worst globalist academic elites, credit.
But on this, the situation is really cut and dry.
We know Putin's motives.
We know his mechanisms.
We see the opportunity.
Again, as I said last week, power abhors a vacuum.
Putin is acting rationally, not as a great global citizen, sure.
You know, that's not, in my view, up for dispute, but he's acting rationally and he's going to be taking a huge swath of control militarily, politically, and economically.
Ukraine looks like it's going to be very cut off.
Obviously, they're going to make the battle about Kiev where they're going to have, you know, it's a three million person city.
The troops are called, the men are there, but it's not looking great.
Putin's hand gets stronger.
steve bannon
But OK, in that regard, you're going to see inundated with images of women and children being bombarded, civilians being bombarded.
They're pleading with the West to say, hey, you promised us, you committed us, particularly Joe Biden.
You committed us to defend us.
We've got about a minute.
How's that going to play out, Chairman?
matthew tyrmand
You know, my view is that he did not want to go this deep and this far, but You know, means, motives, and opportunities.
He has them.
He's got, obviously, the motive.
He wants to rebuild the USSR.
He's got the means.
He's got a much stronger military than anybody else in the region.
And now he's got the opportunity because power abhors a vacuum.
And the West is feckless.
NATO is caught flat-footed.
I know that they are moving weapons in through Poland into Ukraine by overland route, by truck.
You know, I'm in Warsaw.
There's a lot of U.S.
Army guys hanging around Warsaw the last eight days.
So they're trying to help in whatever way they can.
But he is a stronger position.
So if he comes to the table, it's going to be not just with Kharkiv, not just with Mariupol, not just with the Crimean Lambridge, but also with Odessa probably in hand as well.
So his position is very, very strong.
I think he'll get his guarantee.
No Ukraine ascension to EU or NATO.
steve bannon

Can I have the cold open?
Let me have the cold open for Michael Patrick Leahy.
lindsey graham
Lindsey Graham.
And I want to really push to make Putin a war criminal.
I introduced a resolution today supporting the complaint file on behalf of the Ukraine in the International Criminal Court.
The International Criminal Court shouldn't go after Israel, shouldn't go after us.
But when there is no rule of law, like in the Balkans, where there was nobody to hold anyone accountable, Putin has destroyed the rule of law, so I'd like to really push to make him a war criminal, and to all the generals who are carrying out these war crimes, they should be in the mix too.
And I just want to say, if you're following Putin's orders, and you're committing war crimes, you do so at your own peril.
steve bannon
Okay, Lindsey Graham last night on the Sean Hannity Show said that he wanted an assassination, he wanted Brutus, a Brutus, or he wanted Project Valkyrie, the project that tried to, Operation Valkyrie tried to kill Hitler, I think in 1944.
He wanted all of that to happen, assassination of foreign leaders.
Now this loose talk today about being war criminals, I want to bring in Michael Patrick Leahy, he's a great reporter, got it.
Leahy, is this a time we need to be throwing around stuff like that from senior members of the United States Senate, or do we need Focus on telling the American people exactly what's going on, what's at risk here, and what we're actually looking to do and accomplish.
michael patrick leahy
Lindsey Graham's comments to us on Capitol Hill, Neil W. McCabe got that report Wednesday night.
On Thursday, he escalated to, quote, the only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out.
That was a quote in one of his tweets.
It is an indication, Steve, That our American foreign policy elite, including Lindsey Graham, the Republican and has been a senator for so long, and the Biden administration, are not serious in their response.
They're not being adults.
They're not being thoughtful in their response on Ukraine.
What are we going to do?
Tell the American people and do it.
But don't, you know, come up with a tweet two hours after you thought an idea.
And put it out there, that causes great problems.
Big mistake by Lindsey Graham.
steve bannon
Real quick, I know you're a student of the Constitution, one of the founders of the Tea Party movement.
You run the Star News Network now.
You're all over the micro, the local, micro-local strategy, hyper-local strategy.
You know the Constitution as well as anybody.
Does Joe Biden need to come?
Since we're at offensive economic war, we could be in cyber war.
Does he need to come to the Congress and actually make a case of why we're engaged or going to be engaged in a war in Ukraine?
michael patrick leahy
Absolutely.
Only Congress can declare war.
He's got to make that pitch to Congress and he's got to get the American people behind whatever action he takes.
He's not doing that.
It's an unserious approach and our adversaries know it's unserious.
That's a problem.
steve bannon
Leahy, how do people get to the Star News Network?
And you got McCabe, you got a great system of reporters over there in all the battleground states.
How do people get access to you?
michael patrick leahy
Go to thestarnewsnetwork.com.

steve bannon
Michael Patrick Leahy, thank you for joining us on a Friday.
We're going to be doing a lot more at the Star News Network.
We'll be talking about in the days and weeks ahead.
I've got Boris up, but I want to bring in Dr. Malone.
Dr. Malone's got a request of the War Room Posse.
That's why he wants to come on today.
He's got something to say.
Dr. Malone, what is it about these documents and what do you need our activist group to do?
Because they love you.
And if you say, hey, put your shoulder to the wheel, people do it.
Tell us what's going on.
dr robert malone
So this is a perfect opportunity and we could really use your help.
This request came to me from Meryl Nass, who's affiliated with Children's Health Defense.
Steve has the link.
There's the 55,000 Pfizer documents now that have been dropped.
The press, you know, some press, it's largely being covered up, but the conservative press is speaking about the massive trove of information regarding the adverse events.
But what we're asking you to do is work with us to go through this 55,000 document drop that we've been asking for.
It's now landed and it's a huge 55,000 pages.
I apologize.
150 documents.
It's a huge task.
And so we're asking the Posse if you can organize yourselves and start moving through those.
Steve will give you a link.
Where you can download each of these documents and they need to be sifted through for any little pearls or gems that might have been hidden by Pfizer and the FDA.
steve bannon
Over.
OK, real quickly, how did these come?
Walk us through the process of how they became public.
dr robert malone
This is the set of documents that there has been a legal challenge on.
You'll recall that the FDA and Pfizer together wanted to delay them for up to 75 years.
And a judge has come through, Judge Mark Pittman, on January 6th said that, no, that's not okay.
You're going to release them.
And now they have dropped.
And we just have to process them with your help.
steve bannon
Okay.
Dr. Mohn, how do people follow you on Substack and all the different places you are?
Because people love you and they want to know more and want to follow more.
dr robert malone
Thanks for the punch, Steve.
It's, of course, Getter at R.W.
Malone, M.D.
and R.W.
Malone, M.D.
Substack.
And then Tony Lyons wants me to always make a punch.
The book is up for pre-sale on Amazon, and that's The Lies My Government Told Me and The Path Forward.
steve bannon
Dr. Malone is going to be involved in some blockbuster news next week.
We'll get to that early in the week.
We've also, Dr. Malone, we're going to talk about Hagerstown.
We're going to be live coverage tomorrow.
We're going to talk to Dr. Malone afterwards about getting him involved.
We're also going to do a little tutorial tomorrow on these documents, so stay tuned.
This is very important.
Dr. Robert Malone, thank you for carving time out to join us tonight.
dr robert malone
Thank you, sir.
steve bannon
Dr. Malone, when he does that, remember, this guy's traveling all around doing everything, so it's really great the cars are done.
This Pfizer thing's a big deal, and we'll help it get organized.
I want to bring in Boris now.
Boris, we've got so much to get to, but I've got to start with Lindsey Graham and this loose talk up here when we need Joe Biden.
The administration has come forward to tell us...
What is a vital national security interest?
Now we're in an offensive war.
And Ian Berman says, hey, you guys, you know, you guys think you can do all this stuff in offensive war, economic war, all this.
Putin believes that is war, acts of war.
Real quickly, what do you think Biden should do right now, particularly Lindsey Graham and the Republicans?
boris epshteyn
Steve, this is disgusting from Lindsey Graham, the neocons.
First of all, is Lindsey sober when he's talking there?
I'm not so sure that he's got all his tools with him as he's laying out whatever that nonsense is.
Hey, advocating for an assassination of a head of state is actually a violation of about 15 different conventions and probably itself.
prone to be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court, which actually is a total bunch of nonsense that ICC has no power whatsoever.
But if Lindsey Graham wants to be talking about the ICC, maybe he shouldn't be going around and just throwing out Brutus and Valkyrie and assassinations, because that's a major That's how you escalate something that's a regional conflict to World War III.
These neocons have never learned, Steve.
The neocons from the Republican side and the war mongers, the war whores from the Democrat side have never learned.
They're obsessed, obsessed with this orgy of war, the war porn that we've seen all over the place.
Because for the Democrats, they think it's going to get Biden out of the hole, that his fecklessness and pathetic lack of leadership.
steve bannon
Swag the dog.
boris epshteyn
And Republicans are just obsessed with it.
The neocons are obsessed with it.
They've never let it go.
steve bannon
The economic war is trying to get a regime change.
unidentified
Let's go, we've got a bunch of stuff we've got to punch through.
boris epshteyn
I think it's important for the policy.
There's one person who stood in the way of this warmongering after being elected in 2016, and that is Donald J. Trump.
He came in and he said, you know, that's enough.
That's enough.
unidentified
Amen.
boris epshteyn
put a stop on it and told NATO to go put more money toward their own defense, the NATO countries.
unidentified
Amen.
boris epshteyn
And he said, hey, America isn't doing this anymore.
Lindsey Graham, what you're pushing is dangerous and it is un-American, it is against American interests.
And Joe Biden, he doesn't know any better, but if he didn't know better, what he would be doing is working on moderating a ceasefire and getting that situation under control instead of throwing gasoline on it.
steve bannon
Look, Putin's gonna control the parts of the country wants to control uses leverage.
Real quickly, let's go to Texas.
As you've gotten into the numbers, I know you're talking to people on Capitol Hill that have access to even more numbers.
This is a blowout.
These are blowout numbers for us.
What do we got?
boris epshteyn
Steve, we are getting numbers that are in the 100% Advantage multiple, meaning our advantage from 2018 to now is growing by double, in some cases triple, and our one county grew by over 10 times.
Republicans in Texas came out in droves and in a way that they never have.
We went through this yesterday, county by county, and then we went through it with the two southern districts in the state of Texas, where there's been such a spike in activity from Republicans that even Axios cannot control.
Even Axios can't spin it.
Political can't spin it.
They're saying that this is a MAGA wave already.
And yes, we've been talking about 100 seats, 100 years for a long time, but to see counties where there's spikes by over 10,000 percent, again, in Republican participation, that is And Steve, I'd say even over and above what we expected.
And President Trump, as he's put out in his statement, 33 and 0 in his endorsements in Texas last week.
This week, what it tells you, last Tuesday, what it tells you, Steve, is that MAGA continues to be on the rise.
MAGA is ascendant.
And the Democrats have marginalized themselves in a way they can't get out of.
steve bannon
Two things I want to get to.
We'll get to more numbers overall about the country of people signing up, of people running for office.
This is going to blow you away.
We'll hold that for Monday.
Two things I got to get to.
The Cawthorn situation in North Carolina.
This is Mark Elias is really trying to get Trump off the ticket.
What did a federal judge do today, sir?
boris epshteyn
A federal judge said, hey, you ain't got to go home, but you got to get out of here.
And we all knew that was going to happen.
These are the same type of Hail Marys these liberal losers are throwing.
Now I'm hearing, just in the last hour I heard, David Brock and Tom Daschle, Daschle who didn't know how to pay his taxes and Brock who had to pay off his lover not to expose himself of tax fraud, are putting together a group to try to get people, including myself, disbarred for pushing the truth.
Good luck with that.
that President Trump was rightfully elected in 2020 and this election was stolen.
That's what these liberals are attempting.
And with Madison Cawthorn, this was their shot to say, hey, we can get somebody off the ballot because they again said the truth that the election in 2020 was stolen.
Federal judge says not now.
And that's going to be a failure for them, big time failure for Mark Elias.
And they can never get President Trump the same way.
steve bannon
They were looking at Madison, but also to get to Trump.
Real quickly, Ron DeSantis once again standing up, sending a tweet today about the House down there.
He says, hey, you saw my map.
I want my map.
What's going on there, brother?
boris epshteyn
Yeah, so first of all, just to finish up, Madison, that was a shot across the bow.
That was their preview.
They thought if they could get that done, then they're going to go after other candidates in this cycle of 22.
And then, of course, President Trump, 24, completely shut down.
Total win for MAGA there.
Win in Texas for MAGA.
Win with Madison Cawthorne, North Carolina, for MAGA.
And major MAGA win in Florida, where Ron DeSantis is saying, I am not taking one step back.
I'm standing tall, and I'm standing strong on the 20 to 8 map.
He said that any map that's not 20-8 is going to be vetoed, and I just confirmed again from some very good sources on the Hill, very senior folks, and I'll be forthcoming with a posse, including in Elise Stefanik, Conference Chair's office, who are telling me, Elise Stefanik and her team are saying that Ron DeSantis is standing strong, and he's not backing off.
Florida's going to be a redistricting win.
steve bannon
Okay, we need everybody to get to the Census Office and say, hang in there, Governor.
We got your back.
Real quickly, what's your social media?
We got a punch.
You got ten seconds.
boris epshteyn

Colonel Derek Harvey, who's running for County Commissioner out there near Hagerstown, is giving me some live footage from Hagerstown, Maryland.
Absolutely amazing.
The truckers out there, we're going to try to get another live report with Sparopolis.
Some other folks with the truckers in a moment, but I gotta tell you, other folks are piling in here and they're coming up from the south from Georgia.
Let's go to Vernon Jones.
Vernon is running for Congress.
He's the Trump-endorsed candidate in Georgia 10.
Vernon, you're at the pilot truck stop.
Tell us what's going on as the big rigs roll north up to Hagerstown to join the People's Convoy, sir.
vernon jones
Well, let me tell you, Steve, there's a lot of excitement here right now with the truckers coming up 85 and 75, making their way through Georgia.
I'm here in the heart of the 10th Congressional District.
They're going to stop and have a stay over here in Jackson County in Brazelton, Brazelton, I should say.
And it's just amazing.
People with their flags, Trump signs, the Patriot.
I mean, it's exciting.
These people are freedom fighters and they are responding to what is happening with this Biden administration.
They want to fight.
They want to take their country back.
And let me tell you, they're inspired by these truckers across Georgia.
And we're excited they are stopping here in the 10th Congressional District as they make their way out.
steve bannon
Okay, Vernon, MSNBC for the first time did a really good piece, about a five-minute piece.
We opened the show with Haley Jackson and her team, Ben Collins, the new media guy, and they said, hey, look, with the truckers trying to get rid of the mandates, that's already been done, and the truckers are trying to take credit.
They didn't have anything to do with it.
That's all over.
Vaccine mandates, whatever, it's all over, so there's nothing to come here for.
What you have is a bunch of people like Vernon Jones and the war roomies, other people stirring stuff up.
They have no reason to come.
Right?
And this whole aspect of accountability for how we got here and what was done is really just so amorphous that there's not going to be any accountability.
What say you, Vernon Jones?
vernon jones
Well, Steve, think about this.
2022 is coming up.
We need to take back Congress.
And get prepared for 2024 to take back the White House.
That's why the liberal media, they do not want us excited.
They do not want Republicans and conservatives to be energetic and energized because they know Joe Biden is vulnerable.
Democrats are just dead in the water.
And they're trying to take this theme away from us.
That's why we have to be vigilant.
We have to continue to fight and not take this for granted.
We have to steamroll over them, Steve.
The media is doing this intentionally.
The liberal media in Georgia has said little, if any, about it.
And that's why they are doing everything they can to downplay this, even on a national level, because it's really energizing the base of the Republican Party.
And I'm glad it's happening.
And I know you and others Who are patriots, who just can't wait until these truckers line up and end up at their final destination and show this country that we are for our freedoms, that we are freedom fighters.
steve bannon
Vernon, you made some news the other day when you came on here, first time since you've now focused on the 10th Congressional District in Georgia, would be a federally elected member of Congress at a federal office, that you said that Joe Biden should be impeached.
All today, we started, we had in the middle of the show This tragedy in Ukraine and the shelling of the cities, and you've got the people in Ukraine begging NATO to come in and do something.
You know, Joe Biden, they're still buying the oil from the oligarchs.
They won't do that, but we're at economic war, trying to take down the central bank.
We're trying to take that down.
We had Todd Bensman on today say, hey, they're going to take off Title 42 on April 1st.
They've already said that.
The invasion in the southern border is going to get worse.
Right.
So what do you make it as somebody running for Congress?
You've got Biden not being straightforward with the American people, but what the stakes are and our commitments and what we're actually doing in Ukraine.
Yet the southern border is about to explode again for Invasion 2.0.
Vernon Jones.
vernon jones
Biden is being Biden.
He's useless.
He cannot multitask.
He can't single task.
Here we are dealing with what's going on in Ukraine.
Our borders in the meantime, our southern borders are being overrun.
Um, try to buy a gallon of gasoline or two pounds of beef.
Look at where we are.
And if you really want to impose some sanctions on Putin, then let's stop buying gas from Putin.
Let's become energy independent, which he has taken us away from that.
That's why Donald Trump had this economy on steroids prior to the pandemic.
Steve, the Biden doctrine is a dead doctrine.
It is destroying the corners of this country and the middle of this country.
And so I say to everybody, look, we can't wait to 2024.
That's why I want to go in as a United States congressman in 2023.
Go to jonesforgeorgia.com.
of impeachment, get him impeached, get him out of there, get President Trump elected speaker so he can go on to become president of this country.
unidentified
We just can't afford to wait to 2024 and it is catching on like wildfire what we're talking about.
steve bannon
Okay, Vernon, real quickly, give us your contact for your, because it's coming in garbled now, give us the contact for your campaign.
vernon jones
Go to JonesforGeorgia.com, JonesforGeorgia.com.
Steve, again, thank you so much for keeping this on the forefront.
Because had it not been for you and others, we couldn't really get the message out what these truckers are doing, the inspirational, motivational they're doing for our base.
And it's just incredible.
It's an incredible feeling.
unidentified
These Patriots are coming out left and right.
steve bannon
I gotta tell you, Vernon, thank you so much.
Thank you for coming on the show.
Appreciate it.
vernon jones
Patriot.
steve bannon
The truckers represent the owner operators.
The truckers represent the working class entrepreneurs that grind it out every day and make this country really the backbone of the greatness of this country.
It's been their foundational element and that's why the imperial capital is so afraid.
That's why the mandates went away.
And of course NBC said, well, they had nothing to do with it, but there's nothing going on here.
There's no more mandates.
Well, I got to tell you, the truckers are heading into Hagerstown right now.
They're gathering out there.
Derek Harvey and others are sending this information.
We're going to have wall-to-wall coverage tomorrow morning, okay?
Tomorrow morning, it's going to be explosive.
We've got a lot of politics to go through, a lot of geopolitics.
We're going to get you up to speed on everything that's happening in Ukraine, as only The War Room can do it.
But principally, we're going to focus all around the truckers.
We're going to have truckers interviewed, some of the people that have led this.
Convoy to where it is also organizers from it all of us and go to people's convoy org They're looking for donations right now, but tomorrow for two hours You get to see the entire crew everybody's associated with it, so I want to thank everybody today I know the show is a little jammed all right, but we had a lot of information go to we've got explosive information That we've gotten for some inside baseball.
We'll go through on Monday.
I think we'll hold that to Monday about the intensity, the intensity around Republican participation coming in 2022.
Here's the beauty.
Our opposition is depressed.
We're ascendant and on fire and motivated like never before from number of candidates to people organizing, people becoming precinct workers, people becoming poll watchers, poll workers across the board.
But tomorrow, we're going to turn it over and give you the background and the personalities, the task and purpose of the People's Convoy of the Truckers.
We'll see you back here at 10 o'clock a.m.
