We also have to figure out a way to tell people about it, right?
And I think the way in which this small team of mostly ex-television producers who worked with him for years in Ukraine have fashioned the most sophisticated political communications operation I've ever seen in real time.
Every single choice they've made has been brilliant and pitch perfect, and they have played it.
They understand that in this world we now live in, this very complicated, fragmented media landscape we occupy, that you got to play it high and low.
You got to play insurgent and establishment.
You got to do the interview with Lester Holtz, but you also got to be on TikTok.
You got to be everywhere all at once.
He's out there speaking English, speaking Russian.
He's transmitting on telegram all day long, messages to different audiences.
And then this week, we saw him do this global tour for Hearts and Minds, you know, the spring training games in Canada and the British Parliament, and then coming to the big stage of America.
And again, with a perfectly A perfectly executed 16 minute speech with video in the middle of it and a switch to English on the back end.
I just don't think I've ever seen anything more masterful, purely at the level of performance.
Not just the performance, again, gotta be a hero to look like a hero.
But man, he and his team have done an incredible job making the case for their people and using every media tool and understanding the world we now live in, in terms of media and digital technology, as well as anybody I think ever that we've seen.
bill maher
You know, you were watching our show last week and you heard me say, why didn't Putin invade Ukraine when his boyfriend Trump was in office?
I mean, Trump stood with him at Helsinki and defended him over our own intelligence agencies.
So I was just asking the question, and maybe you do have an answer.
Why not when Trump was in office?
It would seem to be the more logical place.
unidentified
No, he didn't invade because he didn't need to.
Because you only roll out the tanks when you think you're out of options.
And Putin had a grand asymmetric strategy to dismantle NATO from within.
And it was working.
When the Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces calls NATO obsolete, you are on the road to a fifth column victory.
And that's what he was doing.
And as a matter of fact, we know now in 2018...
Well, we know this.
In 2018, Trump wanted to pull out of NATO.
And it was John Kelly and John Bolton who had to hold him down like a rabid dog to stop him from doing that.
And if Trump had won a second term, he would have done it.
But Biden being elected caused Putin's plan to go up in smoke.
bill maher
We don't know what he would have done.
We don't know why he did what he did.
He said what?
unidentified
One of the things that Trump always said, though, was that he wanted Europe to be more in charge of its own defenses.
And nobody has done more to advance that cause than Vladimir Putin by doing this invasion.
Because now you have a country like Sweden or a country like Switzerland has said, hey, we're going to send weapons to Ukraine.
Or a country like Germany has said, we're going to increase our defense spending to a significant portion of our GDP.
You've messed up as Vladimir Putin strategically, that you have provoked them to do the opposite of what you wanted.
bill maher
It's surprising to me about Putin.
We always knew he was evil, but nobody ever called him dumb.
And now he looks dumb.
unidentified
He looks dumb and not powerful.
bill maher
You know, I honestly, I was wrong.
I thought he was not going to invade.
I thought it was brinksmanship.
But now, like, this could really go so bad for him.
I mean, the Russians have had a revolution before.
unidentified
Oh yeah.
bill maher
And when you have the morale of the army we know is where it is, when you have the economy tanking the way it is, it looks like they pulled back the curtain and the Wizard of Oz is just this old man with a sound machine.
ali velshi
All of that international pressure actually matter if China, one of the largest and strongest and wealthiest countries in the world, is still willing to stand behind them.
Let me read you the opening lines of the U.S.
readout of a video call between President Biden and the Chinese President Xi Jinping today.
Quote, the conversation focused on Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
End quote.
Short, simple, to the point.
That would totally make sense if that's what the head of state of the two most powerful nations in the world were discussing today.
On the other hand, China's readout of the exact same conversation reads like it was from an entirely different conversation.
It says China stands for peace in general, but never mentions the word invasion, and like a Kremlin-censored news article, it refers only to the, quote, situation in Ukraine, and that there have been, quote, new major developments in the international landscape.
Far from admitting Russia's role as the aggressor here, China would only go so far as to say that the U.S.
and NATO should address the, quote, security concerns of both Russia and Ukraine, end quote.
Of course, Russia had no valid security concerns from Ukraine.
None.
Absolutely zero.
But China's deference toward Russia isn't coming out of nowhere.
Early last month, just weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia and China agreed to a new 30-year deal in which Russia would provide oil to China.
China's the fastest-growing major economy in the world.
It needs all the energy it can get.
And the deal included building a massive new oil pipeline between the countries.
A very helpful thing if you're worried that the West might stop buying your biggest export.
That same day, the two countries released a joint statement about, quote, international relations entering a new era, end quote.
And the press rightfully zeroed in on a line which said there would be no limits to the two countries' friendship.
And no, quote, forbidden areas of cooperation.
And so now that question of forbidden areas of cooperation is being put to the test.
So far, China has not directly condemned Russia's actions in Ukraine.
The country has remained incredibly neutral, while much of the rest of the world has sanctioned and stopped trade with Russia because of its actions.
In fact, Russia and China have maintained deep economic ties, but the U.S.
is now trying to draw a line in the sand.
The U.S.
is trying to define what the West sees as a forbidden area of cooperation between China and Russia, and that is direct military support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Yesterday, Secretary of State Blinken told the press that China will bear responsibility for any actions it takes to support Russia's aggression, and the U.S.
will not hesitate To impose costs.
It's a point the White House tells us Biden reiterated in detail during his two hour call with President Xi today.
So if China helps Russia militarily, the United States will hit them with some sort of economic punishment.
Which sounds simple, until you really think about it.
For instance, one of the things Russia has reportedly requested from China are non-perishable military food kits.
Russia's military has been a logistical mess on the ground in Ukraine so far, and a lack of basic items like non-perishable food is part of why their advances into Ukraine keeps stalling.
steve bannon
Okay, thank you very much.
We had more to play on that, but I want to get to Jason Miller and Ben Harnawalt.
I just want to make sure everybody understands we're live.
It's Saturday morning, the 19th of March, the year of our Lord, 2022.
For this audience, yesterday I had a very, what I say, left-wing guy I know very well that's involved in, let's say, the capital markets business.
And he said that, and he's no fan of Trump, and he's no personal fan of mine, but he did make contact with an intermediary when we talked, and he said that the only show he watches is War Room.
Because here he gets a, in the fog of war, actually information and intelligence and connecting dots that he can use in his capital markets business.
Forget all the spin and all the infantile posturing you've seen among these disgraceful politicians, and I'm talking about Republicans, about extending this war and bringing the reign of terror down on the Ukrainian people.
Let me be brutally frank, okay?
The White House lied about what the conversation went on yesterday with Xi.
She and the Chinese came out immediately 1030.
They're leaking out on there, you know on People's Daily on Global Times They're putting their foreign ministers putting things out about what went on in the conversation and you can see from their general thing They never called a war never call an invasion said both sides want peace, etc, etc The White House the best I can calculate I think I don't think it came up till 3 o'clock 2 or 3 o'clock for the for the readout That means, and my first guest is going to be Jason Miller, you're spending hours going through, how do we present this?
And I support, I think Kellyanne said last night on the Hannity Show, and I think it was something we said yesterday, you got to put the whole transcript out.
Here's the reality.
She warns Biden against sanctions.
Tiger Yang went to Alaska and read Tony Blinken's The Riot Act on global television and humiliated us at the beginning of the relationship.
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon
That was in the very early days.
Think of the first 90 days.
Tiger Yang then went to Rome and for seven hours harangued everybody that knows China and has sources in China and knows what's going on.
And I have pretty good sources since I'm personally, I think I'm the only civilian in the history of this republic to be sanctioned.
By the Chinese Communist Party, okay?
Because I lead the Super Hawks, which treats them like gangsters, know they're gangsters, and are dedicated to taking them down like gangsters.
He goes and reads the RAD Act to that pencil-necked soy boy, Jake Sullivan, who's an embarrassment for us to send anywhere.
She gave Biden the same treatment.
Axios broke a story yesterday, you know, Jonathan Swan and Mike Allen, the guys over at Axios, broke a story that the White House is saying they're appalled Axios put up there because it's not confirmed.
And now we know that the Ukrainians have been trying to figure, trying to get from the Americans, if you won't give us direct military aid, if you won't give us to close this guy, we won't do this, start arming us now so we can build a resistance.
Hey, guess what?
I didn't see the letter.
Where's the letter?
I don't know.
Did anybody get the letter?
Is the letter going through the interagency process?
Where is the letter?
The White House is lying about this.
They have, today, the headline out of everywhere, the headline out of everywhere is Zelensky is begging urgently for a meeting with Putin on 101.
Urgently begging.
Urgently begging for a meeting to discuss, basically, some sort of deal.
Urgently begging.
There's no conspiracy, but there are no coincidences.
Tiger Yang goes to Rome and reads the Americans the Riot Act.
The Chinese send a carrier battle group.
Oh, first off, on Ides of March, they announced, the Saudis announced, they won't take Biden's phone call.
They're going to have Xi for a state meeting, and they're also going to do all their oil transactions, not dollar denominated.
Kaboom!
There's your prime reserve currency.
And they invite Xi for a state meeting that they won't take.
You know, they're a protector of ours.
They won't take his phone call.
Then they read the Riot Act to him in Rome, then they send the carrier battlegroups to the Straits of Taiwan, then he has the meeting yesterday, and the White House takes hours to come up with a lie about what happened.
Note to self, for all these people, we gotta send the MiGs in, we gotta send all this in, there are people being killed there right now, being slaughtered, look at Maripol.
Because you've waltzed them into their fate and destiny and cut them off and cut them loose.
All the big talkers and the big shots, and we're going to do this, we're going to do that.
They send a thing, hey, at least help us with the resistance, can't even find the, don't, where's the letter?
Has that been routed?
Did that get routed to me?
Did I sign off on that?
Did I chop on that?
Is that going through interagency process?
Axios has got the goods.
Why are you saying you're appalled you put out such misinformation?
You think you're the war room?
She warns by, where is it in any of their readout?
Where is it in Jen Psaki?
Where is it all of this?
She warns Biden against sanctions.
And let me read the first paragraph from the Financial Times of London.
She warned Joe Biden against imposing sweeping indiscriminate sanctions during a lengthy call yesterday as the Chinese leader fended off the threat of retaliation from Washington over its stance on the Ukraine war.
And its stance is it's got a partner.
That partner is Russia.
They're supporting it financially and they're supporting it militarily.
And anybody that doesn't understand that, that's why Putin has the big rally.
He's on top of the world.
It's cratering, it's terrible, it's going to fall apart.
In a world where you don't fear America, life is going to be nasty, brutish, and short.
Do you think that Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden and Ted Cruz and Little Marco and this group of feckless individuals, Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, do you think this collection and Mitt Romney up on his toes popping up, they want the Migs, send in the Migs!
This is a world of gangsters.
Xi, Putin, the mullahs in Iran, Erdogan, and Erdogan's being the intermediary now.
Erdogan, the clique in Pakistan, and the mini-me in North Korea.
We're dealing in Bantulestan, Maduro, and wait till Lula gets in in Brazil.
This is a world of gangsters.
Okay?
And all they fear is strength and determination and looking them in the eye, and it's not sending weapons into Ukraine and getting everybody killed.
It's what I've said from the beginning.
If you don't confront the Chinese Communist Party and break these guys up, and we have every tool to do it, this is what you're going to get.
And now you've got an administration that's both compromised and lying to your face.
Jason Miller.
Formerly Chief Communication Strategist for Donald J. Trump and the CEO of Getter will join us next.
Ben Harnawir from Rome.
We got JD Vanslow later.
All in the world.
unidentified
You are over.
Cause we're taking down the CCP.
Spread the word all through Hong Kong.
bill maher
We will fight till they're all gone.
unidentified
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCP.
War Room. Pandemic. With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room Pandemic.
bill maher
Here's your host Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, go to MyPillow.com.
Promo code WARROOM.
Go to our Square.
You'll see all the sales.
Pillows, $19.99.
We got the towels.
You got sheets.
You got all of it.
Boom!
Hit the bid.
Go there today.
Got the annual sleep sale.
Remember, if you're manning the ramparts in the War Room, you need a great night's sleep, not a good night's sleep.
A great night's sleep is provided by MyPillow.com.
Across the board, everything you need for great sleep.
Go there today.
MyPillow.com.
That's the way we get through the night.
Okay, I want to go to Jason Miller.
I want to bring up one thing about, it was, I think it was, that was Brooks, the comedian, Mel Brooks' son, the great strategist.
He's just dead wrong, that's a lie.
Donald Trump, I specifically met with the German ambassador, which they leaked everything, the head of the German, the Minister of Defense and the National Security Advisor, and told him, dude, guys, you got to pay over 2%.
You're kidding yourselves.
NATO's just a collection of joint staffs in Brussels in a $2 billion building they built.
Okay?
It's another social justice warrior organization, that's what it is.
Where's NATO and Maripol?
Where are they helping the people?
All this promise, all this big talk, we're gonna make you a part of NATO, we're gonna make you EU, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that.
How's that working out for the folks in Maripol right now?
How's that doing?
Putin's getting the land bridge, okay?
I'd love for it to come out differently, but that's just the reality of geopolitics.
And NATO's not going to do anything about it.
They're just not.
unidentified
OK?
steve bannon
They're going to have a negotiated settlement, which we said from the beginning.
A negotiated settlement.
And a lot fewer people would die and a lot less destruction.
Because China just came in and said, hey, guess what?
They're our partner.
We're controlling the Eurasian landmass, and this is where we're starting.
And here's what the United States is going to do about it.
Nothing.
So Biden, if you and Jake Sullivan, you guys over there right now, but gear up the roots.
Let's take down the central bank of the Chinese Communist Party, take down the Bank of China.
Let's destroy the UN.
Let's destroy the RMB.
Let's destroy their currency.
Let's let's let's say I'm all for regime change, baby.
On that one, I'm good.
I'm not a neocon, but you want to take cut this head of the snake off all the rest of the collapse.
The Mulas collapse because they need to deal with China.
So the Mulas collapse, Russia collapse, the KGB collapses, right?
Pakistan collapses, One Belt One Road goes away.
Everything they're doing in Latin America, as Jason Miller is going to tell us, to drive Bolsonaro there, all collapses.
But you don't have the stones.
Number one, you're compromised.
You've been in business with them.
You took money.
They know that.
They can dump that on you anytime.
And they honeypot your drug addict, depraved son and maybe some other members of your family.
Just let's put that out there.
But Brooks, the comedian dude, learned something.
Donald Trump tried to save NATO by have them paying up and become a military force again.
Not a collection of social justice warriors in green, you know, with Greta Thunberg, you know, dictating what the defense policy is going to be.
Let's go build some windmills.
Jason Miller, your thoughts?
First on Heilman.
This is the other thing, Zelensky and the slobbering all over Zelensky by the Republican Party, and I know Jason, you and I disagree on this, is disgusting.
And as Heilman said right there, it's like they're all comedy writers.
They're TV producers and they produce interesting TV.
But we're talking the cold realities of hardball geopolitics.
Ask the people in Mariposa how the comedy squad's working out for them.
Jason Miller.
jason miller
Yeah, Steve, as someone who watched Zelensky's address to Congress this week, I was particularly unimpressed with what he had to deliver.
It really came across as maybe they pulled the scriptwriters from West Wing To do a Mad Libs version of every cliche American politics over the last half century, if not full century, everything from the I have a dream to which I thought rang particularly hollow.
But the fact that the Democrats in the media ran out there said this was so masterful.
This is so great.
I don't know if Aaron Sorkin gets any credit for the speech, but as someone who is particularly disgusted by the invasion of Ukraine, I found it unimpressive.
I think where I am is where most Americans are, where they hate the violence that they're seeing.
They don't think that this invasion is something that should be happening at all.
But the fact of the matter is this isn't America's war.
This is not something we should be pulled in.
To World War Three over.
Here's the thing that no one's talking about, Steve.
You're the closest one to really get it.
This is still all about China, because right now President Xi is effectively using Putin as his canary in the mine to see what happens when there's an aggression, when there's taking of additional territory.
Xi is sitting back, just kind of laying back in the cut, watching what Putin does with Ukraine and says, here's how I am going to game out Taiwan.
steve bannon
As a strategic communication, and the guy in communications closest to Donald J. Trump, tell me about the three and a half hour delay of putting out the readout when she comes right out and says it right off the bat, and God bless Ali Vecchi, right?
He actually put them – he's the only guy on media.
You may hate him, but I think he does some excellent work on occasions.
He put both of them up on the screen and said they're from two different meetings.
And you know, Jason, because you've been around, you know what happens when you're doing those readouts.
The White House was crafting a lie, was it not, sir?
And had they been called out basically by the Financial Times of London and by Ali Vetchi at MSNBC, sir?
jason miller
Well, I'm going to give the White House a little bit of slack, maybe on about one hour, because they probably had to wake Joe Biden up.
Explain to him what President Xi had just said, and then start to craft a response.
Because we know that Biden is completely out of it.
But the other two and a half hours, no, Steve, there's no excuse.
Clearly what they were going through is trying to figure out, uh-oh, we've just been read the riot act, as I just put out on Getter a moment ago.
It was cuckery in real life.
This completely embarrassing, as you so smartly said, Xi warns Biden.
That is the global headline going around today.
She warns Biden.
The decision, Steve, for Putin to go into Ukraine and when she decided what he's going to do with Taiwan, that was all made when Biden completely bungled Afghanistan.
They have our number.
They know exactly what's going on.
A weak America is a weak world.
steve bannon
Jason, here's why I love Getter so much.
If you want to get a real conversation, you've got to get on Getter today 24-7.
You've got Pasoba, you've got myself, you've got Miles and that entire team, but you're getting reality about the Chinese Communist Party non-stop and it can't be taken down.
What I'm also impressed about is how Getter is becoming a platform really for freedom of speech.
I guess we're going to break some news now unless you've already announced it right before you came on about the French presidential election, which the Ukraine situation is totally turned upside down.
The momentum in that 30 days ago was totally different than today, but Getter is actually going to co-sponsor the presidential debate in France this week.
jason miller
Yeah, this is really exciting, especially for a platform that's only around for eight, almost nine months.
Getter is going to be live streaming and partnering with Velour Actuel, a French conservative publication, to actually broadcast the French presidential debates on Tuesday.
We'll be doing that from Paris.
I will be there in person.
We'll be live streaming it on Getter.
It'll be going off at about three o'clock Eastern, give or take a couple of minutes.
We're going to have Eric Zemmour, Valerie Procrast, Marine Le Pen is not joining.
She's sending Jordan Bardella, who's the head of the Rally National Party.
I do think this is a mistake by Le Pen not to join.
Right now, the state of play, Steve, they have the two rounds there.
So in the first round, essentially the Right now, I think what's happened a lot of the focus in France has shifted to Ukraine and Russia.
And what Zemmour needs to do is get the focus back to domestic politics.
18 and then they have Le Pen at 14.
And so right now I think what's happened, a lot of the focus in France has shifted to Ukraine and Russia.
And what Zamora needs to do is get the focus back to domestic politics.
The problems they have with migration, as we know from President Trump and his friend Jim, Paris isn't Paris anymore.
If you visit Paris, you'll know in 10 minutes, Paris is not Paris anymore.
Eric Zimmor still has the social media base.
I think the power of the people, but don't completely discount Le Pen.
This thing's going to be a barn burner and Getter is going to be live streaming it right there in the front row.
steve bannon
I must say this now, if Le Pen does not participate in that debate and show that she can stand up on a stage and match him, Blow for blow.
It's going to be a huge, this is a deciding, this is an inflection point, because he's incredibly impressive, but she's got, listen, she would have been the president of France except for that horrible debate she had with Macron, what, back in 17, where she, quite frankly, she didn't represent that she really understood economics or understood the budget or understood international finance, which you have to have a modicum of knowledge to be the president of a major country like that, and she came across terribly.
She needs to be on that stage, so this is, that's a major mistake, and for all our, Well, it is, but Steve... Steve Pearson?
rally. You really ought to, she ought to be a part of this.
It's very important.
Amazing job. I just can't wait till we do one in Brazil.
That's the next one.
I'm hungry in Brazil. You got to do anything else on your planning?
jason miller
Yeah, here's the other exciting thing.
We're going to be announcing very shortly that Getter is also going to be co-hosting, co-sponsoring, and live-streaming the presidential interview series, effectively their debates coming up in Columbia.
Their presidential election is coming up in the last week of May.
We're going to be teaming up and we'll have a formal announcement coming on that shortly.
So get her again, live streaming and in the front row for the French presidential election Tuesday.
And then very shortly, we'll be in Columbia and Bogota doing the exact same thing.
And Steve, we have to make sure that we protect free speech, we protect democracy around the world.
And we're showing it, we're actually bringing people together in a way that the globalists could never even imagine.
steve bannon
No, between covering the whole Trump movement here and the Trump rallies and now doing these presidential elections, this is incredibly important.
Incredibly important, particularly France.
We need a populist nationalist there.
Jason, what's your getter account?
How do people, because you're like Posobiec, you're up all day long.
Not that I'm competitive with you two guys, but I do, we kind of track your, we kind of track your, you're like the, you're Reuters to his Associated Press.
jason miller
Jack's actually beaten me on my own platform.
But not many people can talk jack, so I'm just glad to have him on our team.
At Jason Miller in DC is my getter handle.
Really cool thing we launched this last week is cross posting, where if you post on getter, if you choose, you can also have it show up on Twitter, so you never have to go back to Twitter ever again.
So, at Jason Miller in D.C.
A couple of my favorite accounts to follow, at Steve Bannon, of course, at War Room, at Steve, Steve Cortez.
I don't know how he jumped you in line, Steve, but at Steve is actually Steve Cortez, Jack Posobiec, Raheem Kassam, Peter Navarro.
This is such a place to go if you want to really know what's going on in the world.
If you don't want to be sheep, then come on, getter.
steve bannon
I think it's because Cortez has got better ends to senior management, just saying.
OK, anyway, it's fantastic.
You've got to go together.
Jason, thank you.
Congratulations.
We're going to do a pre-game on Tuesday on the French debate because it's going to be very timely.
So thank you for coming on.
OK, we're going to Rome, but we're also going to go to Ohio.
J.D.
Vance, next runner for the Senate, had a little fireworks last night in debate.
We're going to ask J.D.
exactly what happened.
All next in the War Room.
unidentified
To the end, just watch and sing.
It's all started, everything's begun, and you are over.
Cause we're taking down the CCP!
Spread the word all through Hollywood!
It's got the full border experience.
We're down here shooting our next episode of Law and Border.
We came up on 60 to 70 illegals that have been sitting there all day.
Basically, Border Patrol said they didn't have time to deal with them.
And as we're coming out, this happened.
So I'm actually in the back of a Border Patrol car right now.
As we're coming back, filming the invasion of our country, we're actually stopped by Border Patrol.
And law enforcement.
They're bringing each one of us out of the vehicle with our hands above our head and behind our backs.
Guns drawn like we're criminals while Washington D.C.
is supporting the cartels.
And all while this is happening, we've got 60 illegals standing by the wall.
No problem.
They can walk on in.
Brandon just got added into this vehicle.
And now he's actually in handcuffs.
While our country's being invaded, we're down here exposing the invasion.
They're more worried about us than they are about the 60 guys that are back behind us.
That they're just letting stay here.
We are sitting in a patrol car.
We got Harry in another one.
We got Jack in another one and Ben in the other one.
This is insane.
We've got one, two, three, four, five units out here dealing with us that are just exposing what Joe Biden's doing.
They don't care about them.
They care about us.
Unbelievable, guys.
God bless law enforcement, but let's go, Brandon.
This guy's got to go.
This whole administration.
Bad boys.
What you gonna do?
steve bannon
Okay.
You remember from yesterday's show, the great Ben Berquam, Real America's Voice's investigative reporter had the team, had Harry, the top team down there at the wall.
There's, I don't know, 70, 80 fighting age males just hanging out on our side.
They've already taken the women and children and they're coming back to allow them into the United States and put them into a processing center.
And Ben Berquam's filming it.
And then later, the Border Patrol, when they leave, the Border Patrol rounds them up.
Why?
Because they were filming down there and showing it.
And Ben Bergquist is not going to stop.
He's back today to get reordered, but he's going to be back next week.
We're going to be all over the show.
Look, we had... This was Axios.
And look, Axios, Mike Allen, these guys are left-wingers, but they break some huge stories because they're very dialed into this administration.
They've got great sources.
They came out and said, hey, internally now the Biden administration is preparing for a mass migration event, a mass migration event that when they take off Title 42, which is the whole thing about the CCP virus, which Trump put in place, it gives you the ability to keep people on the other side.
Once they take that off, remember, Todd Bensman has done the analysis, the 75,000 in southern Mexico that are in hold, the other 25,000.
He's calculating, and his numbers have always been the best about forecasting month by month, that it could be April or May could be 400,000 before the desert heats up.
400,000 in one month.
Last month was 158,000, 160,000 in February.
Remember, the army at D-Day, the Canadians, the British and the Americans were 156,000 on D-Day.
That's in one month and that's every month.
The army at D-Day, the Canadians, the British and the Americans were 156,000 on D-Day.
That's in one month and that's every month. Every month.
The Patton's Third Army, I think, was 300,000.
unidentified
320,000.
steve bannon
Potentially 400,000.
And these numbers, when you see the way that it's calculated, are not too far.
potentially 400,000. And these numbers when you see the way that it's calculated are not too far. That's a probability, right?
A high probability.
I want to bring in J.D.
Vance now.
J.D.' 's running in this very competitive race in Ohio.
They had an incident last night.
But I want to ask J.D.
who's kind of gotten blown up when he was on last time on the show about his focus either on the eastern Russian speaking border of Ukraine versus The southern border of the United States.
In addition, J.D.
has been a person from the beginning that has warned us about China and the Chinese Communist Party.
Gave a magnificent speech here right across the river, right side of the Pentagon, in Pentagon City back, I think it was last summer, calling out the corporations and business with them.
She warns Bidens, she warns Bidens against sanctions.
Did you see that coming?
Is that the readout that the White House put out?
No, because they're lying.
The Chinese Communist Party won here.
They have a proxy, it's called Russia.
They go over before the Olympics and have a meeting and come out and say we're strategic partners.
We have a new global order.
Remember the Financial Times had it on the cover.
The new global world order, Russia and China.
Russia's the junior partner.
Well guys like J.D.
Vance warned you about this.
JD, and now we got Zelensky because Maripol, because EU and NATO have kind of left him to their own fate.
He's now, the headlines throughout, on Reuters and the Daily Mail, he's begging, he urgently needs a meeting with Putin to cut a deal, to talk about it, a deal, because Maripol's being leveled, being raised.
And Russia's got the same tactics they had in the Second World War.
Surround the city and bring it to the ground.
It's pretty, you know, they don't do blitzkrieg.
That's not their deal.
unidentified
J.D.
steve bannon
Vance, your thoughts now on Ukraine and the southern border of these good old United States, sir?
unidentified
Yeah, look, Steve, I think we're getting lied to about what's going on in Russian Ukraine because the Biden regime is trying to draw this country into that conflict.
And I've been consistent from the beginning that you can feel sympathy as individuals for what's going on in Ukraine, but it is not in our vital national interest to get involved.
And I'm actually at a grassroots event here in Ohio as part of my Senate campaign.
And local politicians, a lot of local officeholders, you know, they give 10 minutes of remarks on Russia, Ukraine.
They give one minute of remarks on their own southern border.
And when they give those one minute of remarks, people go wild.
So our voters are woken up to what's really going on in this country and what's really important.
jd vance
Unfortunately, you've got the elites constantly trying to obsess and distract us with what's going on over here, 6,000 miles away, instead of focusing on the fact that, you know, if you let 200,000 or 400,000 Illegal aliens in your country every single month for a year, for two years, for God forbid, four years.
unidentified
You don't have a country anymore, Steve.
It's the end of this country demographically, politically, economically.
steve bannon
Look, Profile on Courage, you know, Tucker Carlson.
It's easy to go with and be a fanboy and yeah, this is the greatest speech ever.
Zelensky's so fantastic.
It's another to sit there and look at the cold reality of what's going on.
And to say, hey, this is the way people are going to get killed.
And here's how you get the best outcomes, given the realities.
Not the happy talk, not Fantasyland, not West Wing.
Right?
Or not a stand-up comic as a Seinfeld.
Okay?
Now he's running around urgently begging, this is not me saying it, this is Reuters, this is the Daily Mail, this is reporting from Europe.
Urgently running around, begging for a meeting.
Because he's been cut loose by the West.
He did the tour, and guess what?
They didn't show up.
And now we know from Axios, when they asked for arms to do a long-term uncertainty.
Hey, I didn't see the memo.
Where's the letters?
The letters, somebody, where did that letter go?
Is that in routing?
Did that get routed to me?
Did I chop that?
Is that in the interagency process?
You know how callous this White House is, how phony they are, how callous they are, except they're with the big crocodile tears?
They've cut these people loose.
The people are left to their own fate.
Ask the people in Maripol, how the Biden administration, what they've done for them.
Remember, it's all the people that are saying, you promised us, you committed to us, years and years and years, EU, NATO.
That's why Tucker Carlson's a hero.
He's taken all this incoming every day from everybody.
In the Fog of War, remember, this happens in every war.
All this misinformation and, you know, the truce, the first casualty, and the truce gotta be covered, a bodyguard lies, it all happens.
That's what Fog of War means.
You've got to be able to look through it coldly.
That's what J.D.
Vance did.
Took a lot of incoming.
But, in the fullness of time, and that fullness of time, I think, is like this weekend, because now we know what she, now we know she said, hey, to the Americans, I'm gonna send a carrier battle group through Taiwan.
Tell me what you got?
Show me what you got?
Joe, baby, she put the word out five minutes after the conversation was over.
It took three hours for the White House to spin their lies, and Ali Vauci pulled it out.
He just put up both readouts.
It's from two different meetings.
J.D., there was also an incident last night in Ohio.
I've seen a poll that's coming up.
I don't know if Denver has it yet, if we can put the poll up afterwards.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're in the majority.
If you can give us that poll, because I'm not colorblind, but that one's a hard one for me to read.
What happened last night, and how did it impact the audience?
Because this is a poll of the audience, correct?
unidentified
Yeah, we had about, I don't know, 800-900 people there, and the straw poll said that I won by over a 2-1 margin.
Because, man, Mandel and Gibbons, who I think are the other two candidates that have a decent chance of winning the Senate seat, they completely made clowns of themselves.
I mean, you know, Gibbons is like a 70-year-old guy, and Mandel stands up there like he's gonna fight him.
He gets in his face, he calls him names.
And I'm just thinking, man, this is how you show you're a fighter, that you're tough, you're gonna beat up on a 70-year-old man, and next week he's gonna go to the nursing home and beat up on a bunch of 80-year-old ladies to show he's tough.
It's just a joke.
It made everybody look terrible, honestly, except for those of us who avoided it and kept the focus on substance.
I mean, man, So many politicians think our voters are idiots.
They think they don't care about substance.
They think they're not awake to what's going on in the world.
And we just kept it on issues, man.
We kept it on how we need fighters in Washington to fight back against the Biden regime and their allies in the corporate media and the corporate tech world.
And that's why we won.
steve bannon
Look, Ohio is part of the heart of Trump country.
You've been out, and what I've been impressed, you've been going out and doing these 25, 30, 40 person, 50 person little town halls or meetings.
What is at the top of the mind of Ohio voters in this primary, sir?
unidentified
It's inflation and immigration.
Those are the two things I hear the most about.
It's, look, you got so many grandparents who are taking care of grandkids that were killed by illegal immigration, either directly or through a fentanyl overdose.
And now they can't even put food on the table because everything's getting more and more expensive.
And everybody's been touched by this in some way.
Everybody knows somebody who's been affected by the immigration problem, by the fentanyl problem.
Everybody's paying more for stuff.
And they realize, man, this is not an accident, right?
The Biden folks have decided to create pain for real America, for normal Americans, because they know that it's going to help them seize power.
And at the end of the day, why are they so obsessed with Russia-Ukraine?
It's because Biden gets to stand up there, act like a tough guy, and distract from the fact that his own country is going to hell under his watch.
steve bannon
J.D., how do people find out more about you, your campaign, and where your campaign's going?
unidentified
Yeah, man, jdvance.com is our website.
I'm on Twitter.
I'm on Gitter, of course.
I'm on Truth Social now.
I'm on all the big platforms.
And we need people to help us out, man.
We need people to volunteer for us, donate resources if they're able.
I'm the only guy who's running a grassroots campaign.
We go everywhere.
We answer every question that people have, because that's what politics should be about.
It should be about voters and about normal people, not about the special interests who dominate the Republican Party today.
steve bannon
J.D.
Vance, fight on.
Thank you for joining us.
unidentified
Thanks, Steve.
steve bannon
Okay, we're also going to have, we've reached out, we're also going to have Josh Mandel and Gibbons.
One's Monday and Tuesday, I don't think we've totally figured it out yet.
One's doing an event, so we're going to have one of them Monday night on the 6 o'clock show, the other one on Tuesday, and we're trying to get Jane Timpkin.
These primaries are important.
You've got Alabama, you've got a dogfight there.
In Pennsylvania, you've got a dogfight there.
You've got a dogfight, a big dogfight in Ohio, probably the most intensely competitive.
You've got a dogfight in Missouri.
So these are intense.
You've got one in Arizona.
You've got Georgia.
It's good.
Some of these are more intense than others.
Georgia's probably not as intense, but you've got some real.
And hey, the best is going to rise to the top.
That's what we provide a platform for.
So they're intense, intense, intense.
Okay, we're going to get Ben Harnwell.
If I can get Ben.
When we come back.
We're going to take a short break here in a second.
A lot going on in the second hour.
I've got more to say about China and what's happening right now, how it's going to impact your life in this nation's life about this debacle that's taking place in Eurasia around the Ukraine and the infantile recommendations that are being given that are only going to hurt the United States.
And most importantly, hurt the people in Ukraine.
It is now time to look at this with a steely-eyed resolve that the United States is known for.
Not infantile, emotional, rah-rah fanboy.
And I am, and I want, we're going to make sure everybody remembers Exactly what went on, what went on here.
Okay.
Everybody, we're going to make sure people remember.
Also, we're going to talk about in the next hour, we've got the situation with the Supreme Court justice.
We're going to get to the bottom of this about what has to happen to get full due diligence.
We've got Naomi Wolf, the school superintendent in New York said they want to keep kids permanently in masks.
She's also got an amazing update on the war rooms getting into these Pfizer documents.
Also Hunter Biden's hard drive, the laptop from hell.
Remember, when we came out with that and showed it, we didn't have any support from the official Republican Party.
They ran for the hills when we put that out.
OK, that, in addition, turns out that's one of the underpinnings of the conversation with Biden yesterday and the national security, all the intelligence officers that lied and said it came from Russia.
All next, we're rolling on a Saturday morning in the War Room.

Okay, so we're having a partner's discussion.
Rest assured, we were right, and the little fanboys were wrong, and they caused more destruction, and they're going to cause more destruction.
Right now, Reuters is reporting, if we can put it up, Ukraine's Zelensky calls for meaningful talks with Russia.
Says it's either got to happen now or there's going to be several generations.
It'll take Russia several generations to recover.
He's a man without a country right now.
When I say that, and I'm not talking about the country of Ukraine, I mean that metaphorically.
This right here, he got cut loose yesterday.
She told Biden, you're not doing anything.
You're going to try to sanction me?
We're not stopping.
We're not going to back down from you.
We think you're weak.
We think we're feckless.
We think America is in decline.
America's not being made great again because Donald J. Trump's not in the White House.
You think she would say that to Trump?
You would be incorrect.
They feared us from those first meetings on.
They feared Trump.
Okay.
And Trump had a couple of guys around him that were that were Far to the right of him on the Chinese Communist Party.
I won't have to name names, okay?
And they knew we meant business, and Donald J. Trump meant business.
This would have never happened if Trump was there, never.
The mullahs, the deal, we haven't had enough time to focus on that, the deal they're trying to worm around on Iran.
This is a world of gangsters.
The mullahs in Iran have captured an ancient civilization, Persia.
They're gangsters.
Putin, I've said this from day, I go back and look at all the times I've been quoted about Putin.
I said it's a nation in demographic decline, they don't produce anything except raw materials for the West, and they're run by the KGB and the military.
These are bad hombres, these are gangsters, okay?
Erdogan, another gangster in Turkey.
The Pakistan guys, essentially gangsters, okay?
The Gulf Emirates, Saudi Arabia, they're gangsters.
They did a gangster move the other day, a full flex on the United States.
Wouldn't take, think about it for a second, she's getting on the phone call with this guy, he already knows his partner in Saudi Arabia hasn't taken Biden's phone call.
The Gulf Emirate doesn't, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia doesn't exist without the United States protection.
Doesn't exist.
Does not exist for 40 or 50 years and they helped us take down the Soviet Union.
No doubt about that.
They were good ally in that because they kept pumping at low prices part of Reagan's war plan.
Okay, I document that in the film I made about it.
But now they got another partner.
They invited she for a state visit.
This is what all happened over the last week.
There are decades in which nothing happens, and there are weeks and months in which decades happen.
Decades are happening right now.
Zelensky confirms it.
He's telling the Russians, if you don't do it, many generations of yours are going to be affected.
Well, hey, brother, many generations of your country, of Ukraine, are being affected, and your buddies in the EU and NATO cut you loose.
The White House came to find your letter.
Axios has got to call them out as being liars.
And the White House is now saying they're appalled.
Appalled.
Has Axios backed down an inch?
Has Mike Allen or Jonathan Swan backed down an inch on that story?
Have they backed up an inch on that story?
Have they backed up an inch on the mass migration story?
Because they're dialed into this administration.
Mass migration event.
A mass migration.
We're having 175,000.
We're having every month more than the army that took the beach in Normandy.
Every month we're having that.
And that's not a mass migration event.
They're planning now for what they call a mass migration event.
You don't think that's an invasion?
Hey, ask Rommel and the Wehrmacht if the guys at Normandy were an invasion.
Was that an invasion?
I think they would say that was an invasion.
Yes, Mr. Bannon, that was an invasion.
We categorize that as an invasion.
That's every month in the United States of America.
Every month, month after month.
But that's not even a mass migration event.
That's going to come when they take off Title 42.
Why?
Because they're all waiting in Mexico.
The Mexican government's got them in southern Mexico.
75,000 here, 25,000 there.
It's all blowing up.
And we're not demonizing these people.
They're actually rational, logical people.
They're going to make a run for the border.
Once we're into the States, we're in the States.
They give us a number and they tell us to be here in 60 days and for another court hearing.
Boom.
There's no enforcement.
There's no ICE.
There's no internal enforcement.
It's not even a joke.
It's in your grill.
And to have the Republicans, you're up there at that conference, put the invasion on the southern border at the top of the list.
And particularly, this is the charge of impeachment.
They keep the receipts.
You can impeach this guy.
You get enough witnesses.
Hey, Liz Cheney and Little Jamie Raskin and Shifty Shift and Solwell and Benny Thompson.
Where are your hearings on January 6th?
Where are they?
I was sitting here, I saved my dance card for you guys to be mesmerized by Watergate level hearings.
Where are they?
Where are they?
Where's the nation hanging on every, where's the next witness?
This is amazing.
Where are they?
Because I tell you right now, you're going to get some hearings Come the new sheriff in town after November 8th.
The Fauci hearings.
Oh, Fauci's now saying, I think I'm going to retire.
Yeah, bro.
It doesn't matter.
You're, you're, you're, you're, and this is metaphorical dead man walking.
Okay.
Your receipts are all going to be saved.
The Fauci is now going to retire.
The Fauci hearings, hey, we'll show you some showtime on that.
The Hunter Biden hearings, and then bringing in all the national security guys that lied about it, and we're stripping them of their security clearances immediately so they can't make a living anymore, leeching off this country, selling this country out, being treasonous.
What they did in October of 2020 is treason.
They knew it was real information.
They knew Murdoch's New York Post had checked it out and done the due diligence, and they lied about it.
They lied about it.
They lied about it.
To aid and bring aid and comfort to our enemies.
To bring aid and comfort to our enemies.
Would any of this happen if Donald J. Trump was a president?
We told you Biden's illegitimate, and then the world knows it.
The world knows it.
And this guy or she knows it.
He warns about it.
And then Putin's having a big ol' rally.
Of course, MSNBC says, I think they paid the people to think that.
I don't think they did.
I'm just betting.
Over and under on that, okay?
I'm gonna eventually get to Ben Harnwell.
But we're gonna go to Naomi Wolf next.
Got a lot of news about New York City, about masks, and about the Pfizer documents, the war room posse, deep into it.
Think 1,500 people now?
All next in the war room.
