Speaker Time Text
unidentified
Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
You don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
This is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
We have to prepare for the worst, always.
anthony fauci
Because if you don't, then the worst happens.
unidentified
War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
OK, thanks.
Thanks to our distribution partners everywhere.
We're live all throughout the world.
I want to thank, by the way, it's Miles's birthday today.
Miles, happy birthday.
And thanks, G News and all the apparatuses over there for putting us up in Mandarin, blowing us through the firewall for La Beijing later in the day.
And of course, we're we're live.
We got the podcast later.
We take the show and put it into a podcast.
And I think we alternate between number one and two and political podcast.
Every day nationwide with Pod Save America, I think it is.
So it's either the Obama guys or us in a dogfight just about every day to be number one or two.
Not that we're competitive.
Okay, Ambassador Hoekstra, thank you.
So here's our stand.
Treaties, the founders set it up that The treaties would be something that, because everybody wanted to be in business with the United States, some guys, you know, were going to be very strategic about this, but treaties had to pass two-thirds of the Senate.
So is this thing really a treaty?
How do we get involved in this that, you know, an independent investigator like Jim Rogowsky, we're going to have on, found out about this and then they finally put it up, they put it up in some federal register somewhere, people have had to go to these documents, Is this really a treaty?
Is it as bad as people think?
Is Biden getting us into a situation we can't get out of?
unidentified
Well, Biden could get out of this very easily, but Steve, you and I have watched this for years.
Congress continues to cede authority either to the judiciary branch or to the executive branch, and this is one more example.
There's no one, you know, the Senate, sure, they've got authority here with this treaty, but only if they decide to use it.
You know, if someone would call for hearings, if someone would say, hey, these reforms are so significant, it would require a re-ratification of this.
It's not simple modifications, but it's a rewriting of a treaty and really would require a re-ratification by the U.S.
Senate.
But, you know, The call to action here is the Senate.
Where are conservatives?
Where are Republican senators in calling out this massive transfer of sovereignty from the United States to the World Health Organization, which is a failed organization?
If there's no protest from the U.S.
Senate, the executive branch will just, you know, happily accept The new authority that they've gained from the U.S.
Senate because the U.S.
Senate has decided not to exercise its legitimate constituent role.
It's, you know, the Senate, Republican senators are walking away from their responsibility.
And in this case, they're transferring it over to the Biden administration The globalists, Bill Gates, you know, the pharmaceuticals are clearly implicated in this.
The Chinese Communist Party, as you said, the Chinese Communist Party is all over the World Health Organization.
But who else are they all over?
The pharmaceuticals, they are all in China.
They want the WHO to have more authority because China controls the World Health Organization and by that control they can drive the narrative on health issues to help them achieve their global perspectives and their global ambitions.
We need the U.S.
Senate to stand up and And it only may require a few—a Ted Cruz, a Rand Paul—to call this out and bring it to the attention of the American people.
But short of a U.S.
senator calling out the Biden administration for this, it's going to be very, very difficult to stop the Biden administration from moving forward.
steve bannon
Ambassador, something you know very well, but one of the engineers in the War Room Engine Room has just sent me during your talk, to remind people, Tedros is a member of the Tegray Liberation Front, which is a thousand times more dangerous, effective, and brutal than Hamas and Hezbollah combined.
That Tedros is a hardcore ally of Xi, is that Obama sent 15 billion dollars in military aid and Brennan put black sites in there really put to pardon with these guys.
Tedros is dangerous to come.
He's an ally of Xi, the World Health Organization owned and operated by the Chinese Communist Party and we are ceding our sovereignty unless we stop it.
And stop it we shall, ladies and gentlemen.
Ambassador, how do people get to you on social media?
How do they get to your website?
How do they find out more about you and follow you more closely?
unidentified
They can go.
My Twitter is Pete Hoekstra.
Same thing with my Facebook.
They can also follow me at the Center for Security Policy.
We're, I think, hopefully partnering with you to do everything that we can to stop these changes from going into place later this month.
This is a battle that we can win because The American people know that there's something evil about Fauci and Collins, and they suspect that.
They just need to know about it, and we can get that out there.
steve bannon
Yeah, the Senator for Security Policy, Frank Gaffney, is the chairman of a fantastic organization.
We're going to actually work, ladies and gentlemen, to do a webinar with this team and get it all up there.
Bachman, Ambassador Hoekstra, all of it.
Ambassador, thank you so much for joining us.
We'll be back to you guys this afternoon.
unidentified
Hey, great.
Thanks for your great work, Steve.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother.
A super high priority here, and we're going to get to the bottom of it.
I want to bring in the investigator, kind of one of the independent investigators.
And this is the power of populism.
This is participatory populism.
And for the audience out there, you folks that are the 3,000 War Room Posse that are working with Dr. Naomi Wolf with over 250 lawyers and getting down to the details of Pfizer and their potential criminality in this entire situation.
Jim Rogowski is the same way.
He's been all this.
Jim, real quickly, how do people, I want people to get all the updates from you.
What update do you have for us now?
But I want them to follow you.
You gave your cell number out last night.
You said you had a lot of wonderful phone calls from our audience.
What's the latest in this as you can ascertain it?
And then how do people follow you non-stop on this?
james roguski
Okay, I've got a lot of things, and I know time is always short, so I'm just going to ramble until you tell me to stop talking.
Sure, sure.
Phone number is 0619-3055.
Anyone in the war room posse can call me.
Please go to the websites first to get informed.
StoptheWHO.com or DontYouDare.info.
All of the information is there.
Some good news, which I haven't had a chance to pass on to you.
Some representative in the Louisiana Assembly yesterday put in a resolution into the Louisiana Assembly in regards to this.
So that's, you know, at least one positive step.
My phone number is out there for every member of Congress, every senator, and every attorney general.
I'd be happy to brief anyone and all of you on this.
I've obviously got command of all of the information.
What we're looking at is we need to have a brief presented to the Supreme Court, put a tie wash on this, because it's absolutely clear that the people who negotiated this and are involved in this have not followed proper protocols.
Steve, can I ask you a question?
Have you ever in your life gotten a news alert two weeks in advance of a global truth plot that was planned to be done in public?
Have you ever gotten two weeks notice on something like that?
steve bannon
It's absolutely shocking, absolutely stunning how this came under the radar.
If it hadn't been for guys like you, nobody would have ever seen it.
This was done in the dark of night and that's why it's got to be exposed.
We got to expose it before we have to go to court, to the Supreme Court, because those guys take forever.
We've got to get this.
We're working behind the scenes on the Senate and the House to get this to get this revved up right now.
But that's what's got it's got to be stopped now.
And the Biden administration has to be exposed.
This is a massive giveaway of American sovereignty.
To the globalists.
And now they've exposed Fauci.
$350 million for Fauci and Collins.
You know why Collins quit.
He's going to get out of town for all this exposed.
This whole apparatus of big pharma, these big corporations that own, in our partnership with the administrative state, is all coming.
Now the administrative state wants to transfer more power to where they really have less scrutiny.
And that's internationally.
Remember, Fauci's hands are going to be all over this.
James, once again, give your cell number, and I want everybody to go to the site and get up to speed on this.
We're going to figure out with James how we block out an hour of time to actually go through the details of this.
But if you go to his site and read this, it's pretty self-explanatory.
The research has been done brilliantly, and so it just kind of lays out.
So James, once again, give your cell number and then give the location of how they get to all the documents.
james roguski
It's 310-619-3055.
The evidence is on dontyoudare.info.
If for some reason Google doesn't want to help you find that, you can go to my Substack, which is jamesroguski.substack.com.
The main article with all of the evidence is Wake Up and Smell the Burning of the Constitution.
The challenge here is to Did we lose James?
steve bannon
They dropped.
Okay.
Do we lose him?
Go ahead, James.
james roguski
Don't call me now during the show, folks.
And so, right down below... Okay, we got a drop.
steve bannon
Okay, let's... James, thank you.
We'll send it to the... We'll send it to the... We didn't know the thing was hooked up to your phone.
Okay.
It's always a problem.
People calling right now.
Take the calls.
It's Vox Populi over at James Rogowsky's.
Okay, we have Brandon Tatum.
Let's get Brandon Tatum.
Is Bossy called in?
We got people calling from the campaign trail.
We're going to get Bossy and Kelly on.
They're with Charles Herbster.
Let's go to Brandon Tatum, one of our favorites.
So, Brandon, you've got some big news that you're announcing.
Tell us what the next phase of your career is, sir.
unidentified
Yeah.
Thank you, Steve, for having me on, man.
It's been a blessing and a tremendous honor.
I'm now taking over the position that Larry Elder held at Salem Radio, his radio show.
The prolific radio show where he did a tremendous job for so many years and Salem has blessed me to be the person who precedes him.
steve bannon
So what it tells, the details, is this kickoff that Larry, for folks out there in the West Coast, Larry is a legend in Southern California.
Of course there's a nationwide syndicated show through Salem, the great guys over at Salem.
But Larry, I mean Stephen Miller used to be on a show when Stephen was like 11 years old over at Santa Monica, I think the middle school, he was a guest.
Larry Elder set the agenda for Andrew Breitbart, for so many of the great people coming out of the LA area.
Walk us through the time of the show, how do people get to it, and Brandon, when do you actually take command of it?
unidentified
So, on Monday, May the 16th, I actually start.
It's from 3 to 6 Pacific Standard Time.
And it's syndicated all around the world.
So if you are interested, you can just go to Salem, the Salem website.
You can see it.
I'll be posting things on my social media.
So there's no way anybody can miss the radio show.
It'll be on my website, all of the above.
It's going to be, it's going to be amazing.
You know, I, my goal is to change the country with using the gifts that God has given me, being able to convey a message.
And that's the most important thing that I'm taking away from this thing, and I'm just really excited that it's gonna happen the way that it is.
steve bannon
Look, it couldn't be better that you've got this show and a platform to do this.
Obviously, California, I know it's a nationwide show, but your understanding of California, we gotta take California back.
We have to take Southern California back.
We gotta take L.A.
back.
These are great cities, and they should not be left to be destroyed.
By the Democrats.
We got about a minute.
What's going to be the center of gravity of your show?
unidentified
Well, it's just to convey truth, you know, breaking down the politics that go on and doing it in a reasonable manner, giving people the voice, you know, being the voice of the people.
Because there's so much disinformation out here.
There's so many.
I downloaded all the apps for every media outlet so I could be most informed.
And it is completely biased and terrible information coming out of these news outlets.
And the people need to know the truth.
And also, you know, bring a little comedy and charisma to it.
It makes it a little easier, but that's my goal is to present the truth and to get everybody prepared to take this country back.
steve bannon
You've got tons of charisma and courage, and I gotta tell you, you're filling big shoes.
Larry Elder is a legend institution.
I think Salem made a brilliant pick.
What's your social media handles?
How do people get to Brandon Tatum and find out more about him?
unidentified
Yeah, just search The Officer Tatum on any social media platform.
My website is TheOfficerTatum.com.
You can find everything that I do there.
steve bannon
Brandon Tatum, Godspeed.
Looking forward to you launching the new show on Salem.
Stepping in for Larry Elder.
Man, the day has come.
If everybody's going to do it, it'd be Brandon Tatum.
Charisma, courage.
Brains, guts, toughness.
It's what you want. Okay, short break. We're gonna be back.
We're rambling. Nebraska, Georgia. We got Cortez.
Couple of three other surprises. All next, coming in the War Room.
unidentified
You know, this country is missing blue collar patriots that support this guy right here.
The best president this country has ever seen.
I was able to...
I was able to leverage my love for this man and my district's love for this man to put boots on the ground and beat two incumbent state legislators, a state senator and a state representative.
My race wasn't easy.
I lost my father about four days before the election.
But I can tell you right here, President Trump wrote me a letter, got me back on my feet, and we kicked ass.
And we're going to take District 9 in November.
We're going to retire Marcy Cantor who's been in office for 40 years.
steve bannon
Okay, we didn't have time to play the introduction.
President Trump just gave an amazing introduction last night to J.R.
Majewski, who's the come-from-behind dark horse candidate that won the primary in Ohio 9.
It's now set to, and this is why it's important, from Texas, the school board elections, down we got Debbie Dooley in Georgia, what rural Georgia's doing with MAGA votes, these early votes, to what J.R., what's happening to J.R.
J.R., tell us, put us in the room last night.
Where was it?
What happened?
And tell us about Trump's introduction.
unidentified
We're in Dallas at the NRCC Spring Conference Banquet and President Trump came on stage and he talked about the fact that he's 55-0 and he brought up the fact that he gave me a shout-out at the rally in Delaware and how that pushed me over the finish line and that he deserves the 56-0 moniker, but the mainstream media won't give it to him.
And he decided to call me on stage, totally unscripted, totally unplanned, and I'm used to talking aloud.
Large crowd, Steve, but I'm not used to talking to large crowds when I have the president standing next to me.
So it was an amazing experience.
I'm still getting goosebumps thinking about it.
I can't describe how awesome of a moment it was for me.
steve bannon
The heart of it was you saying, we don't have enough blue-collar folks in Washington, D.C.
We don't have enough working-class folks in Washington, D.C., and that's what it's going to take to throw out this professional politician that's been there for over 40 years.
What did you mean by that?
unidentified
I mean, a guy like me who has started from the bottom of the nuclear power industry and worked my way up to the executive ranks, you know, someone that knows how to put in a hard day's work and knows what it feels like to be away from their families and suffer through this economy and then, you know, suffer through the Obama economy and then have a Trump economy and have our 401ks go up, have our investments actually start to bear fruit, only to have it taken away from a Biden administration that's failing
On every aspect of the game, you know, we need people that understand the everyday American lifestyle.
And my father always told me those who always eat from a silver spoon will never know the taste of rust.
And I can tell you, Steve, throughout my life, I've tasted rust quite a few times.
And when I was able to eat from a silver spoon, I never forgot what it took to get me there.
steve bannon
You were at the NRCC.
Do you think that that message resonated with them, sir?
unidentified
Absolutely.
I kind of became the celebrity of the night.
And even this morning, people were coming up and talking to me.
I think they love to hear the message.
They love the fact that President Trump is actually coming out and full-on supporting a guy like me.
And they know that I'm the new face of the Republican Party.
Absolutely.
steve bannon
J.R., how do people get to you, find you on social media, they find out more about you in this campaign?
Because this is not, this is a tough one.
This is a tough, she's, you've got a very tough opponent, so this is going to be a grind.
Every day between now and 8 November, so how do they find out about you, sir?
unidentified
Easiest way is JR4Ohio.
I'm on all forms of social media, J.R.
Majewski, or J.R.
Majewski4Congress, and my website is J.R.
Majewski4Congress.com.
steve bannon
J.R.
Majewski, go with God, fight on.
Thank you very much for carving time away on your busy morning to join us here in the War Room.
You've got a very devoted following, let's say.
unidentified
Thank you, sir.
You always have a fighter in me.
steve bannon
That we know.
J.R.
unidentified
Majewski.
steve bannon
Let's bring in Cortez.
We've got a lot to get through when we bring in Cortez.
Cortez, this is what we're talking about, isn't it, brother?
steve cortes
Oh, absolutely.
You know, this is the American populist nationalist economic cause is really transforming the Republican Party into a workers party, into a workers movement.
And the America First movement continues this cause and we need great candidates like that.
And thankfully, those kind of candidates are all over the country.
And when you consider the contrast right now of candidates like that who are advocating For the rights and prerogatives of regular citizens of the United States, when you consider that contrast versus what's happening in Washington D.C.
today, in the imperial capital, where the ruling class is scheming to send $40 billion over to Ukraine of money that we do not have, that we are going to borrow to send to a country that is engaged in a regional battle that is 6,000 miles away, when we have intense problems here at home, when we have our own border issue, a very real Very dangerous border issue here, not on the eastern border of Ukraine.
That contrast is very stark, it's very illuminating, and I hope it's motivating for the deplorables out there that we have a lot of work to do.
steve bannon
We've got a lot to get through.
We've got a report on Illinois from Cortez.
We've got to talk about small caps.
We've got the economy.
We've got markets.
We've got all of it.
But we're going to get shilling on the Right to Life movement.
We're winning and we can't hide from that.
unidentified
But I want to go to the bus tour.
steve bannon
I want to go to the great what's happening down in Georgia because right now they're turning The arc of history down there.
Debbie Dooley became a huge superstar last night with her white charts which replaced Karl Rove.
Debbie, you're in Georgia live.
You're on the campaign trail there.
You're one of the top grassroots organizers in the state.
Tell us what's going on.
unidentified
Well, we're on the bus tour.
We're in Jessup, Georgia, and this is Purdue country that we have here.
There are a lot of members of the War Room Posse in Jessup, Georgia.
This is incredible.
This bus tour has been so successful that Brian Kemp is forming his own bus tour called Pudding Georgia's First.
But I really think John, I agree with John Fredericks when he said the real name of the bus tour It's Weasels or Us.
Here is the whiteboard.
All these figures have not changed.
Massive turnout.
Over 120,000 have turned out to early vote.
This is five times what it was In 2018, 45% of these voters did not vote in the 2018 primary for governor.
of these voters did not vote in the 2018 primary for governor.
14,000 of these voters did not vote in the last four primary elections.
Breaking news, we've got word from some folks that are actually doing and surveying and doing surveys of those that cast early vote. 49% Of the early voters in the Republican primary are super, super MAGA pro-Trump voters that believe that Donald Trump should still be the leader of the party.
Folks are angry.
They're turning out.
Here in Jessup, Georgia, we actually had one of the activists came out.
And gave me this because they're so appreciative of what we're doing.
They love it.
This bus tour has been a success.
We will win.
We will force Judas Camp into a runoff because by God, Georgia is Trump country.
We're not George Bush, Karl Rove, never Trumper country.
Georgia is Trump country and we're going to state that emphatically when the returns come back on May 24th.
steve bannon
Debbie, how do people get to you and follow you on the bus?
What's your social media handles?
unidentified
Yes, both of them on Twitter and on Getter are at CrimsonTiter.
They can email me, Debbie, at MainStreetPatriots.us.
We're running into members of the War Room Posse no matter where we go in Georgia.
I have gotten tons of emails from people saying we are so glad to see a conservative woman that's standing up and fighting hard.
steve bannon
Well, Debbie, we know you're going to fight hard.
Thank you so much.
Look forward to having you back on the show.
Debbie Dooley on the on the on the tour down there.
Cortez, you were Cortez.
You went down for the breakfast.
You got you got a whole slate of folks.
You got Jody Heiss.
You got John Gordon for AG, Jody for Secretary of State.
You got the great Patrick Witt.
Witt's running for Insurance Commissioner.
You got Vernon Jones.
This is all in MAGA.
MAGA's got to stand and deliver on this one.
Cortez, you were down there.
You felt it.
You saw us.
Tell us about it.
steve cortes
Yes, listen, the enthusiasm.
I spent a lot of time recently in both Ohio campaigning with J.D.
Vance and then campaigning in Georgia.
And the enthusiasm right now of the deplorables, it's incredible.
It's infectious, really.
And, you know, I think there's two things that I take away from meeting these regular folks.
Number one is how informed they are.
Our people really do their homework.
They watch this show.
They read the articles.
They are as informed as they could be.
They are armed with information.
But then, secondly, the sense of urgency that is out there.
You know, people realize we are losing our country.
The economic pain right now is intense.
We have an open border.
I want candidates to focus on the two I's, inflation and immigration.
We need to fix both of those problems, both of those created crises that are inflicted upon this country because of Joe Biden.
And there is a sense of urgency out there, and it's palpable.
steve bannon
OK, I tell you what, we got a lot to go through with you and we're going to come back to it.
We got Steve Cortez with us.
We got Terry Schilling.
Terry Schilling is going to talk about there's been some horrible incidents at the Justice's House.
But what people are missing is that this and a lot of the Republican politicians are running away from this.
They don't want to talk about it.
This is another inflection point.
You know, this is where you've got to embrace, embrace the wins.
Victory begets victory, and you've got to drive this.
We're going to have Terry Schilling back on.
We've got Cortez.
Cortez has got a bunch of economic news.
Also, an oligarch is trying to intrude into Illinois.
Look, one of the theories of the case we have here, we're going to contest it all.
Not that we're not going to concentrate, we know we have to win, so we're not going to spread ourselves out too thin.
But we're going to contest everything.
We're going to contest Eastern Washington with Joe Tenken, Kerry McKiston, out there running for the governor of Oregon, in Illinois.
No MAGA left behind.
If you're in a state that's a blue state, the women that were going to come on the show are still fighting in lower Manhattan.
Those moms down there fighting, fighting for the schools, fighting for the school boards.
Nobody's going to get left behind.
We don't leave anybody on the battlefield at all.
In fact, we attack, we attack, we attack.
Always be on offense.
That's why this movement's ascended.
It's a Senate in Texas.
It's a Senate in Georgia.
It's a Senate in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Yes, and in Illinois, in Oregon, in the state of Washington.
unidentified
All of it.
steve bannon
We're going to contest it everywhere.
Because this is about the destruction of the Democratic Party as a national political institution.
All next in The War Room.

Okay, I want to go to, I got Terry Schilling.
Schilling, I know we only got you for a few minutes.
There's other pollings that are going to come out the next couple of days.
But before even the polling comes out, because you get a sense of things, what does this audience, what do we need to do to make sure the Republican establishment does not want to talk about this massive tectonic plate shift and this massive victory that was 50 years in the making by the hardest core of the MAGA supporters?
They don't want to talk about it.
Tell us about that and then what's to be done about it, sir.
terry schilling
Well, number one thing, Steve, is that Republicans need to go on offense, right?
We have the Democrats absolutely losing their minds over this potential overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The events this weekend, the events of last week, they're going to Supreme Court justices' houses and causing havoc in their personal neighborhoods.
This is not just unacceptable, it's illegal.
It's against federal law.
We need to start exposing this.
It's incredible that no Republicans on the Hill are actually speaking out about this.
Forcefully.
Why are they silent?
This is a winning issue.
Look, if you look at the polling, what's going to happen is you're going to ask voters, do you support or oppose Roe v. Wade?
And they're going to say, yes, we support Roe.
But that's because they don't know what Roe does.
When you get into the details, do you support abortion up until the moment of birth?
No one supports that, but they don't know that that's what Roe is.
Republicans need to go on offense.
This is a way to win over women.
It's a way to win over Hispanics.
Blacks, this is how to grow the coalition.
We have to be more forceful than we have to go on offense because we see the protests at these churches.
These are the most psychotic, crazy people.
Imagine if they had these types of people representing us.
We would be mortified.
This is not how the Democrats are going to win the midterms.
They've tried this before in states like Texas.
And others, it's a losing issue for them and Republicans need to go on offense and expose how radical and crazy these people are.
steve bannon
Not just a losing issue, what they're doing is also tripling down of the losing issue.
What they're putting forward to the American people is not what the American people want.
Their behavior.
The way they comport themselves.
It's fabulous for us.
It's fabulous.
You just gotta put together the stones to push it out there.
Schilling, I know American Principals Project is all over this.
There's other pollings that are going to come out later in the week.
We'll have you back.
How do people get to you as you fight for the American family?
terry schilling
Well, right now, we are trying to get as many activists engaged in the Title IX change that the Department of Education is pushing out.
So, we have to submit comments.
Those comments won't be able to get submitted until they announce the final rules, but they're changing Title IX to let boys compete against girls in sports, boys into women's private spaces.
So go to savewomensports.us and sign our petition.
Now you might end up on savewomensports.com.
That's a partner organization of ours, Save Women's Sports by Beth Stelzer.
They're great, support them.
But we need to get as many people at our petition signing it to flood the gates at Department of Education with these comment periods when they come.
So savewomensports.us, sign the petition.
We need to get 120,000 signatures.
That's how many Democrats signed the petition to protest Betsy DeVos and Donald Trump's changes.
steve bannon
Oh no, we need more than that.
This is that big political story about Biden right now is doubling and tripling down by ripping off all the safeguards that President Trump put in there across the board.
Terry, we'll have you back on later in the week to go through this.
We need 2x.
If they got 120, we need 250.
We've got to get a man up for this thing.
But we'll get on.
Schilling, real quickly, social media?
terry schilling
Oh, Schilling, 1776 on Getter, Twitter, everything.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother.
Cortez, tell me about this, about going on offense.
Shouldn't we be grabbing this and just driving it instead of cowing in the corner like the establishment Republicans are?
steve cortes
Yes, listen, 100%.
And Terry's exactly right.
When the questions are asked in an honest manner, this is a pro-life country.
A lot of this country, frankly, wants to end up where a lot of Europe is, where there is some abortion that is legal, but it is highly, highly restricted.
So it's a politically winning issue, and of course, in terms of policy and principles, we always have to be defenders of life, and we shouldn't at all shirk away from this topic or these issues.
steve bannon
Talk to me about, give me a couple minutes before we go to capital markets and the economy.
Give me a couple minutes on Illinois.
There's an oligarch that's involved in this Illinois race.
steve cortes
Yeah, so I have a new article up at American Greatness about the battle for the soul of the GOP in the heartland of America in Illinois.
Ken Griffin, who owns Citadel, who founded Citadel Hedge Fund, he is a hedge fund mogul.
He is pouring $40 million of his own money into the Republican primary to try to prop up a sham candidate.
He's a mayor of suburban Aurora outside of Chicago.
His name is Richard Irvin.
He is not just a Democrat, Steve.
He's a liberal Democrat.
He has voted, in fact, in the Democratic primary seven of the last eight elections in Illinois.
He is on the record stating that he, quote, passionately believes in BLM.
He refuses to answer whether or not he supported President Trump in 2020.
This is in the Republican primary, mind you.
Now, the only reason that this sham candidacy has any staying power is because of the massive spending by a mogul.
But I believe It is imperative that the good citizens of Illinois not be fooled.
Thankfully, there are great candidates in the race.
State Senator Darren Bailey is the man whom I'm supporting.
He very boldly stood up against J.B.
Pritzker during the lockdowns, sued him, won some early victories actually to push back against the tyrannical and unscientific mandates of Pritzker.
He's an America first stalwart and fighter.
He was a Trump delegate in 2020.
So, Darren Bailey should prevail in this primary and we cannot allow Ken Griffin to commandeer through his money an election in the Republican GOP primary.
That's exactly what's going on there right now.
And I would also stipulate, you might say, well, do I care about Illinois?
Folks, Illinois, believe it or not, is in play.
I think Oregon is in play this time around.
And the reason I say that is if we look at the polling, Joe Biden's approval rating in the state of Illinois, according to Civics, he began office with a massive positive approval rate.
He was positive by 23 points Per civics polling in the state of Illinois, Steve, he is now negative by four points negative in Illinois, a 27 percentage point net implosion in approval for Joe Biden in the state of Illinois.
So even in places that are have been considered reliably blue, there was opportunity if we have the right candidates and the right message in places like Illinois.
steve bannon
We're going to contest everywhere.
Nobody gets left behind here.
This is an ascendant movement.
We're going to be everywhere, fighting everywhere.
And we understand you've got to triage.
You've got to get your priorities and concentration of firepower.
We've got that.
But we're going to contest everywhere.
This is a nationwide movement.
It's a global movement.
Across the United States, it's a nationwide movement.
Steve, can we play the Chalk Talk?
Let's play the Chalk Talk to tee it up, then we can get into the economics of today.
steve cortes
Patriots, stock markets are crazy lately.
They are nuts.
The volatility is intense as capital markets try to cope with the reality of Biden's inflation surge.
But don't just focus on the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the S&P 500.
Number one, they're very international, but number two, they're dominated by just a few very large mega cap names.
Instead, I submit to you that the Russell 2000 is a much better reflection of where the economy truly is on Main Street USA.
It trades under the ETF ticker of IWM and it is down Since Biden took office, a stunning 14% already.
Now, for comparison purposes, how did it do under the America First economic nationalist policies of Donald Trump?
Well, for those four years, it rallied over 50%.
Patriots, the proof is in the pudding.
These numbers don't lie.
Joe Biden is tanking the American economy.
steve bannon
By the way, Janet Yellen's up on Capitol Hill right now.
She's saying something different.
She's saying that the Roe v. Wade, getting rid of Roe v. Wade, is tanking the economy because it's messing up women's ability to make decisions.
Steve Cortez, give us an update today.
Treasury Secretary always on point, right?
Walk us through what's really happening today, sir.
steve cortes
You know, talk about a lack of focus, right?
I mean, we have inflation at 40-year highs on every single metric, and she's worried about a social justice warrior agenda instead of taking care of the economy.
By the way, more bad economic news out today.
Unfortunately, we can put the chart up.
This is the Small Business Optimism Index.
So, no matter what Janet Yellen tries to say on Capitol Hill, these are what the small business owners of America are reporting to us.
This is from the NFIB, National Federation of Independent Business.
They've been doing this survey for decades.
As you can see there, I drew an arrow on the chart to show you that the trend, the trajectory, is decidedly downward.
And on this very day that we get more terrible news about small business operators in this country losing hope, losing optimism, on that same day, the ruling class in Washington D.C.
is scheming to send $40 billion over to Ukraine.
Talk about the perverse priorities.
of the political class in the United States, ignoring the dire predicament here at home, ignoring small business owners who cannot handle this inflation, while at the same time, funding globalist nonsense thousands of miles away across an ocean in a regional conflict in which the United States has no vital national security interest.
steve bannon
Let's talk about that $40 billion.
They increased it $33 billion to $40 billion.
No way to pay for this.
They're not taking one penny from the oligarchs.
Europe's kicking in.
No money.
Nothing on the southern border.
How outrageous is this, Brother Cortez?
steve cortes
To your point about Europe, Steve, here's the thing.
Not only is Europe not kicking in, Europe at the same time is sending billions and billions of dollars to Putin.
So NATO is effectively funding both sides of this struggle.
Can somebody please explain to me in what world that makes sense?
Why the American taxpayer should be borrowing money to send over to Kiev at the same time that our NATO partners are sending billions and billions of dollars I'm not at all convinced that it even is.
that they are consuming. So look, this is absurd. It has to matter more to Europe than to the United States. If this Ukrainian situation is a problem outside the borders of Ukraine, and I'm not at all convinced that it even is, but if it is, it's not America's problem.
It's the problem of Germany and France and Italy and those wealthy advanced nations that have luxuriated for decades under the protection of the United States taxpayer and brave American troops provide.
It is time for them to step up and handle their region.
It is time for them to take care of their own neighborhood, not the American taxpayer.
steve bannon
We started this morning with a cold open from Morning Joe, and they had the guy, the former president, and he was talking about, oh, they've been doing this back in LA.
The oligarchs over there and the Ukrainian officials have been stealing American taxpayers' cash for a long time, have they not, Steve Cortes?
steve cortes
No, listen, this place Ukraine has been effectively the piggy bank in which some of the worst political actors on earth, many of them from the United States, have operated with impunity forever.
People like Paul Manafort on the Republican side, people like Hillary Clinton, and of course the entire Biden cartel on the Democrat side.
Ukraine is one of the most corrupt places on earth.
And it has effectively served as a piggy bank for those kinds of operators, those kinds of dirty dealers, including American politicians, to engage in slush fund type tactics.
For example, when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, when she was still taking, for the Clinton Global Initiative, contributions from overseas, the number one source of contributions?
The country of Ukraine.
steve bannon
Ukraine.
As poor as it was.
Okay, short break.

Welcome, folks.
joe biden
Today, I'm joined by Senator Cardin, Ben Cardin, Lisa Slotkin, and Congressman Victoria Spatz, Spartz, excuse me, who, uh, I was just talking to her about still having family back in Ukraine.
unidentified
God love ya.
I, uh, I'm about to sign a bill that these folks are responsible and, of course, the Vice President.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
joe biden
The, um, I'm signing a bill that provides another important tool in our efforts to support The government of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
steve bannon
OK, another lie and misrepresentation.
Ben Hornwell, international editor live from Rome.
Ben, walk us through the spin and the lies here, sir.
ben harnwell
Morning, Steve.
Well, look, basically, Joe Biden today, yesterday, signed the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend Lease Act.
And that's a specific amendment to an updating of the famous 19 My first point is to simply look at the name of these two acts, right?
with great generosity, financed by Britain and France, and Russia as well, by the way, both with money and with arms to defeat the Axis powers.
My first point is to simply look at the name of these two acts, right?
The Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act and the original one, an act to promote the defense of the United States, that's actually the formal subtitle of the original act.
And in those, in that name of the act tells you everything what's going on here.
Joe Biden in his...
shhh Semi-senile speech, and you saw from the cold open, he has no idea where he is, who he's with, or what he's doing.
Made no attempt whatsoever to do what you've been calling for in the war room since the beginning, which is to come and tell the United States why the military support of Ukraine is in the United States' best interest.
He made no attempt whatsoever even to try to make that case.
And the parallel with FDR in 1941 couldn't be more stark because he basically, now you can argue whether he was right or whether he was wrong, but he made the case to the American people and he basically said that if The Axis powers aren't stopped beforehand.
They will eventually threaten the United States.
And by arming the Allies, hopefully the United States will be able to remain outside of the war.
So he made those two principal points.
As I say, you can debate whether they're right or whether they're wrong.
Joe Biden did not do that.
And now you're one step further to having a kinetic war with Russia.
steve bannon
And now you're going to put a $40 billion bailout at the Oligarchs.
Ben, you're going to go live at noon.
Tell people how to get to you on Getter.
ben harnwell
Thanks, Steve.
Thanks, Steve.
It's simply my profile, Harnwell, which is my surname, at Harnwell.
I'll be there just a little bit after noon today, and I'm going to dive a little more deeply into these points I've just mentioned.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to put it on my site, too.
Thank you very much, Ben.
Looking forward to the noon.
Cortez, nothing could be more urgent now than defeating this $40 billion, have no Republicans sign on to this.
Any Republican that signs on to this is a collaborator in our economic collapse.
Is that correct, Steve Cortez?
Are we being too harsh?
steve cortes
No, you're not being too harsh at all.
Look, we have two crises, inflation and immigration, that we need to deal with right here at home.
We do not need nation-building and interventionism and globalism in Ukraine.
By the way, as we speak, Steve, a lot of market volatility, which really continues right now.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is off almost 200 points, and that's after being up 500 points just a couple of hours ago.
So a 700 point swing just today.
And here's what's concerning to me, Steve, more than anything, is that I'm not sure that financial markets are even properly really pricing in the risks from China and from the Chinese slowdown and what that is going to do once again to the supply chain of goods here in the United States.
So I see a world with economic risks rising apace.
And a ruling class, a permanent political class in Washington, D.C.
that wants to fixate on a regional struggle in Ukraine rather than focusing on what really matters to regular Americans right now, which is the economy and inflation that is out of control and likely to get quite a lot worse because of the terrible actions of the Chinese Communist Party in China right now.
steve bannon
Steve, how do people get to all your access points and touch points, your writing, your videos, all that?
Because Jim Cramer's up there on MSNBC saying there's buying opportunities.
There's buying opportunities.
He's going in hard.
He's got the pom-poms out.
How do people get to Cortez?
steve cortes
Yeah, you won't get the propaganda from me and certainly not on this show.
So yeah, please follow me on Getter.
I'm at Steve there.
And please access this new article that I put up on American Greatness about the battle for the GOP soul in the heartland in Illinois and what Ken Griffin, the mogul, is trying to do there.
It also can be found on Twitter at Cortez, Steve Cortez with an S.
steve bannon
Thank you very much, Steve.
Great market analysis, economic analysis.
Okay, by the way, Ken Griffin trying to get into the heartland of Illinois, Lincoln's party, right there.
So we're going to make sure that we get all the information.
Okay, jam-packed this morning.
It's going to be just like that this afternoon.
We've got so much going on, remember, out in Nebraska.
It's game day, so get very focused trying to get Bossy and Kellyanne, maybe even Charles Herfster as they go around, to get out the vote.
They're hopscotching throughout the state.
We got a ton to go through.
Make sure you're back here at 5 o'clock.
We return to the War Room.
