| Show the bill pass. | ||
| OK, welcome. | ||
| It is Thursday, the 21st of April, Year of the Lord 2022. | ||
| You've seen the protest outside the Disney, that first, you know, we get lectured, you're in the war room, okay? | ||
| We get lectured by our bettors over at the New York Times, MSNBC, every day about, oh, this is the end of democracy, the Trump movement, MAGA movement, it's a fascist movement. | ||
| This, just like Texas, that was the Florida legislature today. | ||
| Those are actually, ladies and gentlemen, elected officials. | ||
| Elected officials, where today, in a magnificent turnaround, Governor DeSantis and the leaders, and we'll have Anthony Sabatini on in the second hour, led this effort to get a redistricting map done and also to pull the tax breaks for Disney. | ||
| And you would think that, you know, liberals would not want all these tax breaks for companies that don't deserve them. | ||
| I've asked Wayne Allyn Root, who's one of the smartest political analysts and also somebody who understands the MAGA movement, Probably as well as or better than anybody. | ||
| Wayne, first off, in the free state of Florida, you've seen over the last 24-48 hours a conservative Republican and Ron DeSantis in the legislature take on Disney. | ||
| At the same time, force the swamp, force the rhinos to get a map that represents a fair layout for these congressional districts in the state of Florida, 20 to 8, right? | ||
| And I understand you're living in Nevada. | ||
| Which is great state, great people, but somehow you've got a corrupt democratic machine out there that's just gotten out of control. | ||
| Give us your assessment of what's happening in Florida, and particularly you see right there where Rachel Maddow and Joanne Reed are telling you every day that Wayne Allen Root is one of the leaders of the anti-democratic movement. | ||
| Walk us through your assessment of what's happening in Florida. | ||
| Well, I will brag about one thing, Steve. | ||
| I am the leader of the anti-Disney movement. | ||
| I was the first guy in the country. | ||
| I came out with my book a few months ago on your show, as a matter of fact. | ||
| The Great Patriot Protest and Boycott Book. | ||
| And one of the number one companies I listed was Disney as being basically public enemy number one. | ||
| Someone that takes our money, family, people, parents, Christians, patriots, anybody who loves America goes to Disney World, Disneyland, watches Disney with their kids, They take our money and they spit in our faces and I said we got to make an example of them. | ||
| Make them public enemy number one the way that Chicago made Al Capone public enemy number one. | ||
| Put all of our conservative power against one company, Disney, and Rhonda Sanders listened and it's happening and I think it's great and I think there's going to be a massive drive down in the revenues of Disney that you will see as a publicly traded company. | ||
| You'll see it show up. | ||
| Over the next year, I think it's going to be devastating to Disney and they're going to get on their knees and they're going to apologize. | ||
| And I think it's great. | ||
| And I think all the other companies I listed in my book will then get the message that you're next. | ||
| We all got to go against one company. | ||
| Don't worry about all the rest right now. | ||
| I listed 116 companies and all their CEOs and all their addresses. | ||
| But I'm telling you, and I've been saying for, I don't know, a month and a half on my show, go after one company and make them an example. | ||
| Disney. | ||
| So that's great stuff. | ||
| And I give the credit to Ron DeSantis. | ||
| He is fabulous. | ||
| I think he's the best out of all 50 governors in this country. | ||
| He is absolutely fabulous. | ||
| I can think of four people that really fight back. | ||
| All the time. | ||
| I can think of Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Wayne Root, and Steve Bannon. | ||
| Those are the four who know how to fight. | ||
| And the rest of the Republican Party, for the most part, is for, you know what, I won't say the curse word, for crap. | ||
| Hold it. | ||
| Mitch McConnell's gotta go. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy's gotta go. | ||
| They don't know how to fight. | ||
| They're used to playing golf at the country club with Muffy and Chip. | ||
| And they don't know how to fight! | ||
| And we need fighters! | ||
| Ron DeSantis is a hell of a fighter. | ||
| I give him all the credit in the world. | ||
| Wayne, you've got to explain to the audience, because I've known you for a long time. | ||
| You're a street guy. | ||
| I've never seen a bigger capitalist than Wayne Allyn Root. | ||
| How is Wayne Allyn Root, capitalist, saying that we've got to use political power, the state legislature, representing a populist nationalist movement, and go after corporations? | ||
| That doesn't sound like very Republican orthodoxy to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, no, no. | |
| I think it's the very essence of capitalism, Steve. | ||
| The essence of capitalism is that the people vote. | ||
| And if we don't like what you're doing, so in one week now, I made a little list for you. | ||
| In one week, Disney's on their way out. | ||
| They've got big problems. | ||
| I think they're going to be devastated. | ||
| Netflix is being destroyed. | ||
| CNN Plus is gone in a matter of less than a month. | ||
| They're gone because they made the worst choices for hosts I've ever seen in my life, and nobody believes in what they believe in. | ||
| They're so dumb they could have made it half conservative, half liberal, and gotten everybody to tune in, but they picked a bunch of liberal, negative, anti-American sourpusses who aren't even attractive on TV, so they went down in a blaze of glory. | ||
| Twitter's going down. | ||
| Elon Musk announced today he's got the money to take over Twitter. | ||
| Masks are no longer mandatory on airplanes, trains, or buses. | ||
| And last but not least, Spotify fired Barack Obama. | ||
| This has been a great week. | ||
| You know what I would say? | ||
| Victory! | ||
| And it's only Thursday. | ||
| Let's go back. | ||
| I want to go to CNN before... Because you know media as well as anybody. | ||
| By the way, it's been launched, I think, for 10 days. | ||
| They lost $300 million. | ||
| McKinsey was their consultant. | ||
| What did they... You saw the advertisements non-stop. | ||
| What did CNN miss about the American people? | ||
| What did Netflix miss? | ||
| Well, you know, as I kept saying in my book, The Great Patriot Protest, the boycott book, all these corporations, Steve, are so out of touch with America. | ||
| When you walk around America and speak to real Americans, and I'm not a guy who just speaks to white conservatives, by the way. | ||
| Here in Las Vegas, Nevada, I speak to lots of African Americans and I speak to lots of Latinos. | ||
| Almost every Latino that I speak to here, that's legal. | ||
| And that's a huge distinction. | ||
| Legal Latinos are all pro-Trump and they're now becoming Republicans. | ||
| And a lot of blacks I speak to are now pro-Trump and becoming Republicans. | ||
| And I can't even give Trump or you or me the credit for it. | ||
| The credit goes to the greatest Republican salesman ever, Joe Biden. | ||
| He's turned everybody against the Democrat Party. | ||
| They may not love Republicans, but he's turning them all into Republicans for lack of any other choice. | ||
| They see now what Biden and the Democrats represent, and it's pure poison. | ||
| They all know, because of inflation, And open borders. | ||
| They're not going to have jobs anymore because of inflation. | ||
| No matter what they make, even if they get a big raise, it's worthless. | ||
| Everything is going bad for middle class people and they all know they got to get away from Biden. | ||
| And most of them that I speak to say they wish they had Trump back. | ||
| So now ask me, is there any corporate CEO that knows any of this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| Matter of fact, every corporate CEO I've ever met or heard on CNBC or Fox Business would say it's poison to say the election was rigged and stolen. | ||
| The election wasn't rigged and stolen. | ||
| It was thrown out of court. | ||
| It's a fact it wasn't stolen. | ||
| Well, guess what? | ||
| All the people buying the products from those CEOs, like Disney, believe the election was stolen, the election was rigged. | ||
| One-third of Democrats believe the election was rigged. | ||
| One out of five Democrats in polls recently want Trump back as president, wish he was president now. | ||
| The CEOs are out of touch, Steve, with what Americans really believe. | ||
| We don't want open borders. | ||
| We know the election was stolen. | ||
| We love Trump. | ||
| We don't believe Biden's a legitimate president. | ||
| We believe Biden stole it. | ||
| And we don't believe Biden is really the president. | ||
| Most Americans know that Obama is really the one behind the scenes pulling the strings. | ||
| And I believe pulling the strings of Obama is George Soros. | ||
| Klaus Schwab and the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| That's who's running America right now and they sure aren't trying to help Americans or America win. | ||
| Every move that Biden supposedly makes or Obama or Soros makes, I'm telling you, every move makes China stronger That is as anti-American as you get. | ||
| These people are traitors. | ||
| And when this is all over and it's proven how bad they were, they should be shipped off to Guantanamo and tried for treason. | ||
| This is not political disagreement, Steve. | ||
| Political disagreement was like me and you and Bill Clinton. | ||
| Okay, we disagreed. | ||
| He wasn't out to destroy America. | ||
| He wasn't out to destroy the middle class. | ||
| This is the purposeful destruction of the United States by radical traitors who are committing treason. | ||
| And between the open borders and the vaccine mandates and the cover-up of the vaccine, the deadly vaccine side effects, these people are out to kill us, ruin us, bankrupt us, and I believe they should be sent to Guantanamo and put on trial for treason. | ||
| Wayne, how do people get the book? | ||
| You called the shot about the corporations. | ||
| How do they get the book? | ||
| How do they get to your show? | ||
| How do they find you on social media? | ||
| I just happen to have one right in front of me. | ||
| The Great Patriot Protest and Boycott Book. | ||
| See, I am a capitalist. | ||
| I'm always ready. | ||
| The Great Patriot Protest and Boycott Book by Wayne Allyn Root. | ||
| Of course, you can get it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, all the usual liberal corporations, but that's where you buy books, for better or worse. | ||
| There's not much choice, and you can go to my website, RootForAmerica.com. | ||
| All my commentaries, my books, my videos, they're all there. | ||
| My national radio show starts there. | ||
| RootForAmerica.com. | ||
| Wayne, Alan Root, you called the shot on Disney. | ||
| Thank you very much for joining us today. | ||
| God bless you, Steve. | ||
| God bless America. | ||
| We're going to play that in the second hour, too. | ||
| I want to play that, what happened in the legislature down there in Florida today. | ||
| People say, oh, you're the anti-democratic forces. | ||
| You see, that is embarrassing, that elected officials that are adults can carry on like that. | ||
| Can we have a cold open? | ||
| Jake Corman joins us from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | ||
| Let's play the cold open. | ||
| I'll bring in Jake. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To me, they did a tremendous disservice to the Commonwealth, and I want, as the next Governor, on my first day, we'll call a special session of the Legislature to deal with these issues, so that we put a process in place that all Pennsylvanians, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, will have faith in the results and how the elections were conducted. | |
| That is the cornerstone of democracy, and that is something I will make sure that happens as the next Governor of Pennsylvania. | ||
| Okay, Jack Corman is the president pro tem of the Senate of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | ||
| He's currently in a Republican primary for governor. | ||
| Senator Corman, you actually sent a letter On January 5th, I think it was, to say, hey, look, this process has been so messed up here. | ||
| We need those electors back for a 10-day period, I think you said. | ||
| We need to go through the process. | ||
| Is what's happening today at your press conference, you said, what you would do on day one as governor. | ||
| Is this political expediency to get, because this is a tight race in Pennsylvania and no one's gotten Trump's endorsement yet. | ||
| Is this political expediency or does this come from a deeper place in you that feels this has got to be taken care of? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, look, the night of the election, 2020, before any vote was counted in Pennsylvania, I was calling for Secretary Booker's election. | |
| She was the Secretary of State who oversaw the election. | ||
| She and Governor Wolf had handled the election in such a partisan fashion that had never been seen before in Pennsylvania. | ||
| I called for her resignation because she sent out illegal Guidances to the counties to correct absentee ballots, which they're not allowed to do by law. | ||
| And so I started there. | ||
| And then the next day, before the results were still counted, because it took us four or five days in Pennsylvania to get the results, I had a press conference and called for her resignation again. | ||
| This was something that we've been fighting ever since from that day on. | ||
| We spent a ton of time in court trying to fight what was happening. | ||
| The laws they changed in midstream. | ||
| So this is something we've been at for a better part of a year and a half now, and something we're not going to back down. | ||
| There's been no issue in my career that I've gotten more voter contact on, people on the street, just anybody saying, I can't believe what happened. | ||
| How did this happen? | ||
| What can we do? | ||
| So I'm reacting to my constituents. | ||
| I'm reacting to the people of Pennsylvania who are frustrated by the way this election was handled by Secretary Bookvar and Governor Wolf. | ||
| She ended up resigning in disgrace because she couldn't do her job. | ||
| So this is something I've been after for some time. | ||
| You sort of challenged me last week when I told you I was going to turn the Department of State upside down and find out what happened. | ||
| You sort of challenged me for details. | ||
| I put a plan together because I think the voters of Pennsylvania need to know because some of this is what we need to do now as legislators, which I am and we are doing investigation, and we will continue that work. | ||
| But people need to know that the next governor takes this serious. | ||
| And so I will call a special session on day one to get to the bottom of this, to pass laws moving forward, but also to continue to review 2020. | ||
| As I think I said to you last week, this issue is desperate need of a prosecutor With that sort of power. | ||
| Unfortunately, no prosecutor stepped up to do it. | ||
| I, as a governor, will be able to appoint the Inspector General, who does have investigative powers. | ||
| I'll have the Inspector General, along with the new Secretary of State, review completely the 2020 election, hold people accountable for what they did, if they did anything improper. | ||
| We need to get to the bottom of this, and you can't learn from it and move forward and make sure it never happens again if you don't know exactly what happened. | ||
| So it's important for us to continue this work. | ||
| Senator Corman, just hang on for one second. | ||
| I want to ask you to stay through a break. | ||
| Senator Jay Corman from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania next in The War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | |
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Senator Jay Corman, the President Pro Tem of the Senate and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania joins us. | ||
| Senator, can you just hit one or two of the highlights of your action plan starting the day you were elected governor? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| We want to get rid of no excuse absentee balloting, which the governor has used as a vessel for people to commit fraud. | ||
| We want to get rid of unprotected drop boxes, which we've seen people have voted illegally in Pennsylvania. | ||
| We know that for a fact. | ||
| That's not disputed. | ||
| We want to get rid of the public, the private dollars, the sucker bucks. | ||
| They can never influence an election game. | ||
| We saw through a right to know request that the Department of State was sending it out to Democrat counties over Republican counties. | ||
| The Department of State is supposed to be the referee, right? | ||
| The umpire to deal with an election to make sure it comes off fairly. | ||
| And unfortunately, for the first time in my memory, we had a governor and a secretary of state that went way overboard and acted in a partisan fashion to do everything they could to assist Joe Biden. | ||
| Uh, and so those are sort of the main facts of it to moving forward. | ||
| But again, we are going to get the Inspector General involved with the new Secretary of State, which I will point and we will make sure that we get every, you know, investigate the Department of State completely and hold people accountable. | ||
| Senator Corman, if you win the primary, and obviously it's a dogfight of a primary, if you win the primary, Shapiro, the existing Attorney General is going to be the, going to be your, And Shapiro would say right now, he's already a national figure, and what he's going to say is that, hey, Jay Corman went down and played golf with Donald Trump and got all jacked up, and he was going to drop out of the race, and you got Steve Bannon, this right-wing nutcase, gets him on there, and he's all pumped up, and everything that Jay Corman's saying at this press conference is all nonsense, and it's all for political expediency. | ||
| It was an absolute perfect election, and we intend to run all the elections in the Commonwealth like that. | ||
| What say you, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I say bring it on. | |
| We've been at this since the election day, since Election Eve 2020. | ||
| We have not stopped. | ||
| We're the only body. | ||
| The Senate is investigating it. | ||
| We've made subpoenas. | ||
| We've been held up in court. | ||
| We're allowed to do. | ||
| Josh Shapiro and Tom Wolfe are fighting us in court. | ||
| They continue to fight against us. | ||
| But we're not going to be intimidated. | ||
| We're not going to back down. | ||
| We're going to continue this work. | ||
| And he was the biggest promoter of the Russian collusion in 2016, which has been dismissed. | ||
| But you know, it's funny when I was in a debate the other day and they asked Republicans whether Joe Biden won or not. | ||
| I said, well, you never asked the Democrats whether Hillary Clinton won or not. | ||
| You never asked the Democrats if Stacey Abrams won. | ||
| She still hasn't conceded her last governor's race, but they always come back to the Republicans. | ||
| We just want free and fair elections. | ||
| We don't believe that happened in 2020, and we're going to continue our work to get to the bottom of it. | ||
| What other pressure can you put on Attorney General Josh Shapiro right now? | ||
| As your president pro tem, you were one of the most powerful guys in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | ||
| What could you do, like today, to put the heat on him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're continuing to defeat him in court. | |
| We have to show that we have the authority to go in and investigate, which we are. | ||
| We continue to pass bills. | ||
| Unfortunately, the governor continues to veto voter ID, getting rid of drop boxes, getting rid of private dollars. | ||
| The governor will veto all those, so we can't get to him that way. | ||
| But we're going to continue our investigation. | ||
| We've subpoenaed the Department of State. | ||
| We want to find out all the information that went on. | ||
| They're fighting us, and I always say, well, why are you fighting? | ||
| If there's nothing there, why are you fighting us? | ||
| Maybe you're protesting too much. | ||
| Maybe there's something to hide. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| But we're going to continue. | ||
| As I said, we're not going to be intimidated. | ||
| We're going to continue this work. | ||
| We've done it since Election Eve. | ||
| We in the Senate Republican Caucus have been on this issue, and we're going to continue to the end. | ||
| Senator Cormann, how do people find out more about you and your race? | ||

Cormann4PA.com is my website. | |
| Cormann4PA is Twitter, and Cormann4PA is Facebook. | ||
| Thank you very much for joining us. | ||
| We're going to put your press conference up today on our Getter site to make sure everybody sees the whole thing. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||

unidentified
|
Thank you very much. | |
| Have a great day. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Lou Barletta is going to join us tomorrow morning. | ||
| I think we're going to get Colonel Mastriano on here also. | ||
| We were at the Gettysburg voter integrity event with him. | ||
| So we're going to make sure this is a tight, tight, heated race in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | ||
| I want to go to Steve Cortez. | ||
| Steve, thank you for joining me. | ||
| You're going to you're going to ride shotgun here for the next couple of segments. | ||
| I want to go to something I know is close to your heart. | ||
| We got Ben Berquam and Michael Yan. | ||
| Real America's Voice, they're both down in the Darien Gap in Panama. | ||
| Ben Berquam, tell us what you and Jan are up to. | ||
| Hey Steve, yeah we came down here at Darien Gap. | ||
| We actually were riding upriver yesterday. | ||
| I think we have some of the footage of that. | ||
| 10 boats coming down as we passed with 15 to 18 people on each one of them. | ||
| And they actually ended up, this is the process, this is what they call the controlled flow that the U.S. | ||
| entered into with Panama and Costa Rica, where it is basically America paying and helping pay for The ease of flow from Colombia through Panama and Costa Rica and ultimately they end up, the people that we saw yesterday, they end up in the camp behind us and that's actually where Secretary Marocos was when Michael was there on Monday. | ||
| Yeah, Steve, this is San Vicente Camp behind us here. | ||
| This is the largest camp for the migrants. | ||
| It has about 500 capacity right now. | ||
| They're about to double it to 1,000. | ||
| That's our information now. | ||
| We believe it to be accurate. | ||
| The helipad, the airport where Secretary Mayorkas landed is maybe 700 meters from here. | ||
| I was here when they landed on Monday. | ||
| They landed at 1249 in the afternoon. | ||
| They came in from the direction of Panama City. | ||
| and they stayed for uh almost two hours in the actual camp they stayed for almost exactly one hour because they drove right by us here on this road behind us and uh and then they went back to the uh my orcas went back to the to the helicopters it was four blackhawks and that time three blackhawks took off so and took off back in the direction of Panama City. | ||
| Now, they say that, according to his tweets, that they were in the Darien Gap. | ||
| This is untrue. | ||
| There was no evidence at all that they went to Darien Gap. | ||
| We're in Darien Province. | ||
| The Gap is actually about 10 miles still that way as the bird flies. | ||
| We've been spending a lot of time out in the Gap. | ||
| I had Ben actually very bravely went deep into the Darien Gap yesterday, as you can see from our sunburns. | ||
| And it was about three hours by boat upriver, And that's where we found, what was it, nine Afghans or seven? | ||
| I don't recall. | ||
| Seven Afghans, yep. | ||
| Seven Afghans and then before you got here I found nine mainland Chinese and many others, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, that sort of thing. | ||
| Just huge numbers of people. | ||
| Right now there's a normal seasonal decrease because of the rainy season. | ||
| River's very dangerous. | ||
| In fact we hit two or three large logs which was Almost, you know, we could have Titaniced out there. | ||
| So, I mean, the migrants stopped coming when the river is that dangerous. | ||
| And they don't stop, but they decrease the numbers. | ||
| But we were seeing a steady flow come in from the dairying gap. | ||
| And now they have new routes, which Ben's going to talk about that some more. | ||
| The routes are much easier now. | ||
| You still hear people saying all the time, I would never do this again. | ||
| This was the hardest thing I've ever done. | ||
| That's pretty much what everybody says. | ||
| One guy, I don't remember what country he was from, he was from Venezuela, saying, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. | ||
| And Ben said, what about Maduro? | ||
| And he said, | ||
| Maybe you know and uh but yeah so a lot of Venezuelans coming through now huge numbers I would say they comprise about one-third of the migrants coming through now and and many of the others are Haitians or Cubans and then after those three Venezuelans Cubans and Haitians about 50 percent that that would comprise about 50 percent of the total after that they come from good lord 80 or 100 countries I mean we've met all of Africa here uh every go ahead yeah no Ghana every everything Cameroon everything else so | ||
| Let me ask you, so you've got the United Nations coming through there. | ||
| Ben, pick up from Michael and tell us, I want to go back and define that term of art, controlled flow. | ||
| When you say controlled flow, in my Yorkers down in the U.S. | ||
| government, the taxpayers watching the show are paying for it. | ||
| Put some meat on that bone. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| I should probably take this. | ||
| I will let Michael jump in on this, but it's basically the U.S. | ||
| government working with Panama and Costa Rica to move people through their countries as fast as possible. | ||
| That's the idea is they don't want the bottleneck. | ||
| We've actually got one of the buses behind us that's going to be loading up with the people that we saw brought in from the gap this morning. | ||
| They're going to be sending them on a 10-hour bus ride to Costa Rica. | ||
| They get them to Costa Rica, and then they continue straight through Costa Rica to Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and then on up through Mexico. | ||
| What they're trying to avoid is what we're seeing in Mexico and in the U.S., where we have these massive camps of people. | ||
| So, Panama doesn't want to have to pay for it, the infrastructure for it, the destruction of their communities. | ||
| Costa Rica doesn't want to have to pay for it, so it's the U.S. | ||
| government that's working with them, not to stop the flow, not to slow down the flow, but to control it and send it through faster. | ||
| So really, what we're hearing is this place is looking to double, and I'm talking to the folks that are coming through, the numbers are going to be astronomical. | ||
| It's just, I mean, it's out, it's insane. | ||
| And the other part of this, that they're not telling you, the U.N., And these NGOs, these fake charities that are just inviting people to die. | ||
| What these people are seeing, the tears that we're seeing, the multiple stories, we heard it multiple times. | ||
| There was a man on the route that they had just seen that hung himself because his kids died on the way and he couldn't take it. | ||
| There was a woman who was pregnant with her face mauled and then there was another woman holding a child And as they're telling us this, this was all in the route just before they got to us, up in the gap. | ||
| And that is what these monsters are telling people to do. | ||
| They're saying, go and do this so they can enrich themselves, so the leftist globalists that are getting hundreds of millions of dollars from this invasion can enrich themselves and pretend to be compassionate. | ||
| It's complete evil. | ||
| And that's not to mention the robberies and everything else that comes from the cartels in Colombia. | ||
| And then, as you go up, the gangs, MS-13, MS-18, as you go through the Golden Triangle, and then up through Mexico, the other cartels. | ||
| It is horrific what is happening to these people. | ||
| Michael Yon, how do people follow your reporting? | ||

| This is the American Republic. | ||
| If you think how well thought through it is, how much money they're putting into it to actually destroy our nation. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the T.T.P. | ||
| War Room, Pandemic, with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, MyPillow.com, promo code WAROOM. | ||

| Remember, we thrive here on a great night's sleep, not a good night's sleep, a great night's sleep and some great coffee that we'll talk to you about in a little while. | ||
| Steve, make sure you go. | ||
| They're a big sponsor. | ||
| Support the Armored Piercing Show. | ||
| That's Mike Lindell. | ||
| Of course, you're humble servants here at the War Room Apparatus. | ||
| I had a cold open for you, Cortez, but I think the last segment, and we're going to have Burquam and Yon back on tomorrow morning on The Morning Show, and we've got something very special. | ||
| We've got a massive exclusive, a global exclusive that everybody's going to be talking about. | ||
| Tomorrow morning. | ||
| And Boris is going to join me. | ||
| It's going to be something that everybody in this audience is going to want to see. | ||
| Trust me, it's going to explode off the football. | ||
| That's going to be 10 o'clock at the start of the show. | ||
| Cortez, I had to bring you back. | ||
| You've done such a great job of hammering home the two I's, immigration and inflation. | ||
| But here's what, you know, and I throw a third eye in impeachment. | ||
| When I say we're going to impeach him, he may not be removed from office because of the Senate vote, but when I say impeach him, and the first article is going to be about the initiation and exacerbation of this invasion of our country. | ||
| This is what I'm talking about. | ||
| You just saw it, My Yorkers. | ||
| You've been all over My Yorkers from day one. | ||
| But, Steve, they're a couple miles away from the Darien Gap, one of the most dangerous places that connects Latin America with Central America and then up to El Norte. | ||
| One of the most dangerous places on Earth. | ||
| They're talking about 80 different nations. | ||
| You've got the Afghans, you've got Chinese folks, you've got people from all over the world. | ||
| And we have a Cabinet Secretary, the head of DHS, and Steve Cortez. | ||
| He's down there with Army Blackhawk helicopters, and they're down there talking to guys, setting up what is controlled flow. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Walk me through. | ||
| My head's blown up, so I'm going to toss the ball to you to put this in perspective. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
| No, Steve, they're down there with Blackhawk helicopters not to figure out how to stop the flow, not to figure out how to protect the United States, how to guard the front door of our nation, but instead to manage the optics. | ||
| Realize that. | ||
| That's what they're about. | ||
| They want the flow to continue, but they want it to look as orderly as possible, as orderly as a mass trespassing into our country can look. | ||
| That's what they are concerned about. | ||
| They just don't want the political pushback of having sort of ugly scenes, so they want to try to manage this totally illegal flow of a human tsunami of trespassers in the United States. | ||
| You know, Steve, I couldn't help but notice when your intrepid correspondents, Ben and Michael down there, when they were talking to us from Panama, they're just a few miles from Colombia, where my own father came from, came legally to this country. | ||
| And you know, my father and millions of people like him, who came to the United States legally from Latin America, Steve, they did not come here to replicate Latin America in the United States. | ||
| They came here for something very different, for a place of economic opportunity, for a place of laws rather than corruption. | ||
| What Joe Biden is doing right now, with an open border combined with an inflationary spiral, is he is creating Latin America in the United States, the very thing that legal immigrants Fled, again, for solid reasons and do not want to replicate in this country. | ||
| I believe it's one of the reasons, by the way, why Hispanic citizens of this country are becoming one of the most anti-Biden constituencies that you can find. | ||
| And, of course, corporate media narrative once again was wrong, that Hispanics are somehow soft on the border. | ||
| If anything, Hispanics are turning much tougher than the rest of the U.S. | ||
| citizen population on the border. | ||
| I think in part because they actually suffered disproportionately. | ||
| from an open border. | ||
| But look, all Americans suffer from an open border. | ||
| And as I mentioned before, Steve, there's never a good time to tolerate this kind of lawlessness, which not only destabilizes our country, but also destabilizes the rest of the hemisphere. | ||
| There's never a good time for it. | ||
| But this is the worst possible time, because when you combine an open border and millions of new workers who are coming into our country to unjustly and unlawfully compete in the labor market, when you combine that reality with Crashing real wages in the United States because of this inflationary spiral that Biden and Pelosi and Schumer and McConnell have thrust upon us, you have a really toxic brew for really instability in this country. | ||
| You know, you and I often say that economically we're going back to the 1970s. | ||
| Well, at least in the 1970s, we had a controlled border, Steve. | ||
| We didn't have these conjoined crises, created crises at once. | ||
| So in a lot of ways, what we're talking about now is far worse than anything we experienced in the 1970s. | ||
| And again, this has created It's by design, it is absolutely intentional, and the only actions regarding this flow of people, this mass trespassing into America, a breaking and entering into our country, the only actions that they're taking are actions to manage the optics, not to protect our homeland. | ||
| And it's the first function of government, Steve, whether it's local government, state, or national government. | ||
| The first function, right, is to keep order, to maintain order, public order. | ||
| Because Joe Biden has been willfully derelict in that duty, he absolutely has to be impeached. | ||
| I think it's an imperative. | ||
| He has to be impeached by this, by a Republican Congress, and I mean quickly, right out of the gate in 2023. | ||
| Absolutely, and this is the first article of impeachment. | ||
| When they also talk about, you have these Democrats because they see the polling and they see the Hispanics in Nevada and Arizona turning against them, and they're certainly going, oh well, you need to keep 42 in there because there's no plan. | ||
| They have a plan. | ||
| You can tell that Mayorkas is not down in Panama with Black Hawk helicopters to work on controlled flow if they don't have a plan. | ||
| Benjamin says today is the day they start lining up on the northern border of Mexico. | ||
| Is there any doubt in your mind? | ||
| Steve Cortez, that the Biden administration has a very well thought through plan for all of this, sir. | ||
| No, of course. | ||
| And by the way, had this plan even before the 2020 election, right? | ||
| Joe Biden was one of the unanimous slate of Democratic candidates who raised their hand, for example, saying, yes, full taxpayer funded health care for any illegal who breaks and enters into the United States. | ||
| OK, that was just step one in incentivizing and inviting this absolute invasion. | ||
| And that's the reality. | ||
| And that was only the first step, of course, once they actually got into office, once he got into the Oval Office, illegitimately so, but nonetheless, Once he got into the Oval Office, they became as aggressive and radical on this topic as any previous administration. | ||
| Far more radical, for example, than Obama, who actually, Obama had a fairly decent record at least when it came to deportations in the United States. | ||
| So it's not only that you get in, it's not only that we've We flung the front door wide open and invited you in. | ||
| In addition to that, once you're here, you know, and the cartels know this, obviously, and communicate this effectively to people, they know that they're not going to be deported because ICE has been effectively neutered. | ||
| We might as well not have an ICE right now in this country, unfortunately, under Joe Biden. | ||
| So this level of radicalism is a whole order of magnitude different than anything we saw even under Obama. | ||
| And because it is so radical, Steve, The proof's in the pudding. | ||
| We know that it isn't just incompetence. | ||
| There may be some incompetence in the mix as well. | ||
| But we know that this is very intentional, that they really believe that this is going to politically help them, that they want to try to permanently change the demographics of the United States. | ||
| They believe that if they grant mass amnesty to these people, and that is clearly their plan, that they will then have a voting bloc that they can count on for years going forward. | ||
| But look, it is incredibly destructive to the United States. | ||
| And Steve, I want Republican candidates, if they really want to be America's first champions, to go even further, though. | ||
| Of course we have to shut down illegal migration. | ||
| Of course we need to impeach Joe Biden for his dereliction of duty. | ||
| But I think we need to go even further than that, because even legal immigration, and I say this as a son of an immigrant, even legal immigration, we are not doing it well right now. | ||
| It is time for a pause, time for a moratorium, to figure out the best way to manage even legal immigration To serve the interests of the citizens of the United States, which should always be, always, first and foremost, our priority and our prerogative when it comes to even legal immigration. | ||
| This is why Hispanic Americans and African Americans are coming to the MAGA Cause, because it's about putting American citizenship first. | ||
| Mayra Flores will join us at the 6 o'clock hour. | ||
| Can we play the Chalk Talk plus the special guest appearance by President Barack Obama? | ||
| Can we play both of them? | ||
| Let's go ahead. | ||
| Steve Cortez's Chalk Talk and the appearance by President Obama. | ||
| Patriots, food prices explode higher, and it's very much Joe Biden's fault for the data and the numbers. | ||
| Let's get to a Chalk Talk brought to you by Getter. | ||
| I want to use DBA here. | ||
| It is the agricultural ETF, an exchange-traded fund. | ||
| So in one ticker in one stock, you get the variety of agricultural commodities from cattle to corn to coffee. | ||
| When Trump was elected in 2016, DBA was over $20 per share. | ||
| But he managed an economy of aggressive growth, with contained inflation. | ||
| And so this got significantly cheaper throughout his administration, food costs going down. | ||
| DBA got all the way down to $14. | ||
| When Joe Biden prevailed, what has happened ever since his election in 2020? | ||
| We've seen DBA explode higher by more than 50%. | ||
| And now Patriots, so that you don't fall for the ruse, the ridiculous canard that corporate media and the Biden White House want you to believe that this is somehow Putin's price hack. | ||
| No, it is very much Biden's. | ||
| And as evidence, look where DBA was at the end of last year of 2021, before things were hot in Ukraine, DBA had already exploded higher by 35%. | ||
| It is Biden's inflation, and it is his fault that you are paying massively more at the grocery store. | ||
| People like Putin. | ||
| And And Steve Bannon, for that matter. | ||
| Understand, it's not necessary for people to believe this information in order to weaken democratic institutions. | ||
| You just have to flood a country's public square with enough raw sewage. | ||
| You just have to raise enough questions, spread enough dirt, plant enough conspiracy theorizing That citizens no longer know what to believe. | ||
| Once they lose trust in their leaders, in mainstream media, in political institutions, in each other, in the possibility of truth, the game's won. | ||
| Steve Cortez, former President of the United States, right there, Barack Obama, at Stanford today on a disinformation conference, calling out the war room, and yours truly, for, I think, giving a platform to folks like you that come up every day and just put up information and evidence. | ||
| What say you to President Obama? | ||
| Yeah, well, by the way, kudos to you for that shout-out, getting mentioned by the former President at the illustrious University I think it speaks to what you're doing and even more importantly though what the war room posse is doing out there what the deplorables in America are doing and Steve I've been traveling around the United States campaigning with candidates recently and I will tell you when folks come up and talk to me the first thing they say to me is war room okay they don't mention that I work for Fox News or for CNN or for President Trump First thing they mention every time without fail is War Room. | ||
| So the power of this show just continues to grow, and Barack Obama there pays homage in a weird sense, in a left-handed way, complimenting the War Room and the effect. | ||
| But here's why, too. | ||
| The activism is so important. | ||
| So for instance, I read an article today on this, Steve. | ||
| The state of Indiana, their state offices are decided not by voters in primary, but by state convention, by delegates who are elected to the state convention. | ||
| In most election cycles, there's not even enough candidates to fill those slots. | ||
| So the state party has to end up just appointing people, just nominating people to go, because they literally don't have enough. | ||
| This time, not only is every slot filled, but it's oversubscribed. | ||
| In other words, they're having real elections to have the election. | ||
| There are real serious races For the delegates. | ||
| It speaks to the activism that is out there. | ||
| And by the way, there's activism because there's angst in part, right? | ||
| Because of what I talked about in my chalk talk there. | ||
| Because people literally can't afford to feed their families. | ||
| And it's so important, you know, forget about Barack Obama claiming disinformation. | ||
| Let's talk information. | ||
| Let's talk real prices. | ||
| What I presented on that Chalk Talk, and I always try to operate in the realm of data and numbers as much as possible. | ||
| Real data, what people are willing to pay for a stock, DBA, which represents behind it all kinds of commodities, from corn to cattle. | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| I'll tell you what. | ||
| Let's get that chart up. | ||
| Let's take a short commercial break. | ||
| We also have Hung Kao, who's running for Congress in Northern Virginia. | ||
| Show us it's spatial. | ||
| I tell you, hang on for a second. | ||
| I tell you what, let's get that chart up. | ||
| Let's take a short commercial break. | ||
| We also have Hung Kau, who's running for Congress in Northern Virginia. | ||
| He's got a big op-ed up in the Washington Post. | ||
| Steve Cortez is also going to join us for part of the second hour. | ||
| He's carved some time out. | ||
| We've got a very special guest. | ||
| Also going to try to get Taje Gill up to talk about his new endeavor, the former Navy SEAL. | ||
| Got a lot going on. | ||
| You're in the war room. | ||
| President Obama just gave us a hat tip. | ||
| Thank you, President Obama. | ||

| We've got Mara Flores from Texas. | ||
| We've got Anthony Sabatini in Florida. | ||
| We've got tons of news that we're going to break. | ||
| By the way, I just got from Terry Schilling a poll from the great state of Oregon, not known as Trump country right now. | ||
| Biden's approval ratings, 27% approve, 72% disapprove on, excuse me, Biden's approval, 35% approve on Biden, 63% disapprove. | ||
| on the governor, Democratic governor out there, her approval is 27%, disapproval 72%, and a generic Republican, a generic Republican running for governor approved 47% against Democrats. | ||
| This is a poll coming at Oregon. | ||
| We're going to talk about more in the second hour. | ||
| This is the tectonic plate shift you see going on. | ||
| I want to invite back, he's got an event to get to, but I asked Captain Hung Kao to join us here. | ||
| He's got his op-ed up in the Washington Post today. | ||
| Captain Kao, tell us about your op-ed, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| Basically, it's about Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, my alma mater. | ||
| I was the first class to graduate from there. | ||
| And this is an attack on excellence in America. | ||
| And it starts at our schools, and then it finishes with the military. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Walk us through that. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So there was a meritocracy that's being attacked. | |
| They took the way we bring in students, which is through very arduous testing, and then they Got rid of that and they allowed for basically a lottery system and they decreased the amount of Asians in the school from 73% to 53%. | ||
| And that was the whole, that was the reason they put this, they put this in there to decrease because they felt they had too many Asians. | ||
| Is that, is that your point? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's exactly it. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, it's just, again, trying to meet certain quotas on things. | ||
| I mean, we're trying to do that in the military too. | ||
| When I commanded the Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center, we had one standard. | ||
| And that's because the season forgiving and things like hardship, war, they're indiscriminate. | ||
| They don't care who you are, whether you're a man, woman, black, white, Hispanic, it doesn't matter. | ||
| It's hard on us all. | ||
| That's the great equalizer. | ||
| And likewise with life, you know, and school, that is the great equalizer as well. | ||
| And I happen to be here at the Patrick Henry College, one of the last schools, one of the last schools that, that teaches true academics and, uh, you know, and truth and justice. | ||
| Captain Cal, real quickly, when you came here from war-torn Vietnam and your family had to leave, did you get any special breaks? | ||
| I mean, didn't you guys just have to make it on your own? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| I mean, America provides you this ladder of opportunity, but you still have to climb up yourself. | ||
| And my parents taught me, you know, they can take away your wealth, they can take away your money, your position in life, but they can never take away knowledge, right? | ||
| The knowledge is in your brain. | ||
| And that's why they pushed us so hard to go to school. | ||
| And that's why You know, schools like Thomas Jefferson were great for us. | ||
| And, you know, I mean, I don't see this kind of quality that screaming it in the NBA. | ||
| You know, I want to see a 5'6 Asian guy playing in there if that's what they want to do. | ||
| Well, if we do, we'll get you first. | ||
| Captain, how do people find out more? | ||
| You've come out of retirement. | ||
| You retired from the Navy as a Navy captain. | ||
| You are now running for Congress. | ||
| How do people find out more about you, your life story, and particularly your run for Congress up there in Northern Virginia? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| On www.HungCow4Congress.com. | ||
| So H-U-N-G C-A-O for Congress dot com. | ||
| Or we're also on Facebook. | ||
| We're sending a lot of information out there on Facebook at Hung Cow for Congress. | ||
| But again, this is not just a fight for us. | ||
| This is a fight for our posterity. | ||
| You know, just like with Captain Bannon, right? | ||
| She's out there in the front lines and soon it'll be Midshipman Cow who will be attending the Naval Academy this summer. | ||
| Amen, sir. | ||
| Captain Cal, good luck. | ||
| Good luck at Patrick Henry College tonight, too. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you so much, sir. | |
| And again, thank you for having me on this show. | ||
| This is great. | ||
| I know I'll be attacked by left and call me white supremacist, but I have one ask for them. | ||
| It's just when you give me my hood, make sure it's got the little slits and not the circles so I can see better. | ||
| Captain Hung Cal, thank you very much for joining us in War Room. | ||
