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.
		That 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 a hundred 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.
anthony fauci ▲ ● ▼		We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room.
unidentified		Pandemic.
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, it is a Monday, 17 October in the year of our Lord 2022.
		We are three weeks and one day away from the most important midterm election since right after the Battle of Antietam in 1862 in the early stages of the Civil War.
		I'll have more to talk about that probably tomorrow.
		Tomorrow we've got an incredible show, a big special, kind of working in the morning about the elections and a lot of numbers analysis and actually how this is spreading.
		Steve Cortez, one of the reasons it's spreading, as we said from the beginning, we're going to have the right issues set.
		We're going to focus on the economy, geopolitics, the two I's, inflation and immigration, the invasion of the southern border.
		And we kind of, at the time, understood that the American people are going to come our way, although it looked grim.
		Right.
		To certain people on the 20th of January of the year of our Lord 2021.
		We said, hey, not a problem.
		We got this.
		Does everybody stay calm?
		Right.
		Stand in the breachless role.
		And it happened.
		Walk me through some of the math here, Steve Cortez.
		In fact, Cortez, walk me through how we got to the essentially the underpinnings of how we got to the New York Times.
		The paper of record sitting there saying GOP gains edge in polls.
		Economy sways voters.
		Democrats see drop in independence and women.
		And of course, Karen Tumulty over at the Washington Post, no friend of Donald Trump, no friend of Steve Cortez, and particularly no friend of Stephen K. Bannon's, what her tweets are saying about the underpinnings of these polls three weeks away, Mr. Cortez.
steve cortes ▲ ● ▼		Yes, and even she, even the Washington Post, acknowledges regarding that New York Times poll, none of these people or organizations, our allies, acknowledges that the electorate is moving massively our way toward the America First movement and toward patriotic populism.
		The primary driver, we talk about the two I's, the primary driver, though clearly is the first I, is inflation regarding the economy.
		And let me give you another poll to explain that New York Times poll.
		And this poll comes from CNN.
		I think we have it if we can put it on the screen, folks.
		This is from CNN again.
		Not a fan of MAGA, not our ally.
		According to CNN polling last spring, to set the context here, last spring, when they asked Americans, is the economy in good or poor condition, it was plus 9 to the positive side.
		54% said net good, 45% said net poor.
		Now, today, what has Joe Biden done to this economy?
		It is now 56% to the negative, only 22% 78% say it is poor for a net swing of minus 65%.
		Now, Steve, listen, you've been involved in politics long enough.
		You've run such important campaigns, particularly Trump's in 2016.
		You've consumed enough polling to know that those kinds of swings just don't happen in a year and a half.
		I mean, this is totally unprecedented.
		Now, unfortunately, the underlying reality of what's happened to the American economy is also unprecedented because we are Hittings on so many metrics, we're hitting either worst in decades or worst ever.
		And to that point, by the way, let's show, you know, I talk a lot about how the bond market is more important than the stock market, and it is, but the stock market does matter.
		And if we can show chart number two, I want to show stock market losses in dollar terms.
		So, this chart comes from Charles Schwab.
		So, this is not in percentage terms.
		In percentage terms, by the way, we're almost as bad right now as the 2008-2009 credit crisis.
		Right now, the Nasdaq is down 35% of the year.
		Back then, it got down 43%.
		So, we're getting there in percentage terms.
		But this is dollar terms, okay?
		And the reason is we're starting from a much bigger base of market capitalization.
		So, even though the percentage isn't as bad, the dollar losses are actually much, much worse right now.
		And again, folks, I don't want to appear to be speaking on both sides of my mouth.
		I care way more about real wages than I do about the stock market.
		$15 trillion of losses from the highs in the stock market because of Joe Biden.
		And again, folks, I don't want to appear to be speaking on both sides of my mouth.
		I care way more about real wages than I do about the stock market.
		But the point is, both are reflecting the crisis.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		But real wages are your current income, but your assets are in your house in bonds or stocks have got a 401k, which is now a 201k.
		This I will cut it later.
		But even Ratner on Morning Joe, who's running to be the new secretary of Treasury in his chart the one thing he talks about the one pop That's right.
		during the term of Donald J. Trump.
		You know what we say here in the War Room, Cortez, orange man great.
		Okay, the numbers.
		No, it's Cortez's analysis of the golden age of Christmas, the holiday season at Christmas of 2019.
		Right now, it would take a Herculean effort on all fronts to get there.
		We can do it.
		And this is why we keep talking about England.
		Because ladies and gentlemen, if you do your job, Biden's presidency ends on the evening of November 8th.
		It ends.
		But then you're going to see this thing called the lame duck, and you're about to see an orgy of madness as every one of these crooks tries to get a payoff for their donors, their constituents.
		They're lobbyists, all of it, and that's where we got to be at the ramparts.
		It's not okay.
		The only easy day was yesterday, as the Navy SEALs say, right?
		The only easy day was yesterday.
		Everything from here is a grind.
		Cortez, you're in Illinois.
		You're a guy that does not waste your time.
		You're in Illinois because you're telling us right now you think Illinois is in play.
steve cortes ▲ ● ▼		I absolutely believe that Illinois is in play.
		I think a lot of these formerly blue states are in play.
		You know, earlier you mentioned New Jersey, Steve, which I'm glad you mentioned because last year in the odd year elections, in the blue state of Virginia, in your home, the Commonwealth of Virginia, Republicans and quite conservative Republicans won not just the governorship, but all of the statewide offices.
		The entire slate won.
		And in New Jersey, Governor Murphy, who's one of the worst governors in America, instituted some of the most onerous and tyrannical lockdowns in 2020.
		He faced an unknown and totally underfinanced opponent, and yet he nearly lost.
		And Steve, that was in 2021.
		Things are so much worse in the country now, as I've been showing on these various economic metrics.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hold on. You've got Gavin Newsom in California.
		You've got Pritzker in Illinois.
		You've got Whitmer in Michigan.
		Let me give you a newsflash.
		I heard from great sources over the weekend that Phil Murphy spent his weekend starting to put together his team for his presidential run.
		And no, that is not a joke.
		That is not a joke.
		And Pritzker, Whitmer, all of them.
unidentified		Yes, sir.
steve cortes ▲ ● ▼		Pritzker is planning that as well.
		One of the reasons that I've gotten so engaged here In my former home state of Illinois, first of all, I think the race is absolutely winnable.
		And I think Pritzker is very, very vulnerable because mainly because of inflation.
		Inflation is a national phenomenon created by Joe Biden, but it's far worse in places like Illinois because of J.B.
		Pritzker.
		But I also want to reveal who Pritzker is not just to the people of Illinois, but to the entire country, because he has made it very clear that he has presidential aspirations.
		And because of his inherited fortune, he has the money to make that happen.
		The rumors that he's telling his people are that he's willing to spend a billion dollars on a presidential race.
		Billion with a B. Well, I want to make sure... Okay, first of all, I want to shortstop that right now by beating him in three weeks, and we'll put a stop to that.
		But even if he somehow prevails in this upcoming race, I want the truth about who J.B.
		Pritzker is known to the American people.
		It's one of the key reasons I'm involved in this fight.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		The long knives are coming out in the evening of the 8th.
		Kamala Harris, done.
		Joe Biden, done.
		End of that team.
		End of the presidency.
		You're going to have Newsom.
		Pritzker's going to try it.
		Whitmer, if she wins.
		You're going to have these people.
		That's why it's so important.
		The Phil Murphys of the world.
		They're all going to come out with the long knives.
		That's why you need to chop, block, We had a shot on Gavin Newsom, as we told you, with the recall.
		Didn't pull it off.
		You got a shot right now with Pritzker, and you got a big shot with Whitmer.
		Tudor Dixon in Michigan, and of course, Darren Bailey in Illinois.
		Steve Cortes, how do people get to you between now?
		Because you're up on Getter all the time.
		You're putting amazing things up in your sub stack.
		Where do people get to you?
steve cortes ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, and folks, please read my Substack article about J.B.
		Pritzker and the attack on the Abraham Lincoln statue here in Chicago.
		It will appall you, but it's important for you to read.
		So please go to it.
		You can find it at my getter.
		I'm at Steve.
		And you can also find me on Twitter at CortezSteveCortez with an S.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		You know, we got to, I got to pull you on to tomorrow.
		We got to figure out, we got to do the Lincoln thing tomorrow before the debate.
		It's, it's, it's outrageous.
		Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest, he and Washington, the two greatest presidents, right?
		Unbelievable.
		Thank you very much, sir.
steve cortes ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Let's go to Cause of America.
		We're going to, everybody to the ramparts.
		Remember, the only easy day was yesterday.
		This entire sweeping, massive victory is in your hands, this audience.
		But you got to put your shoulder to the wheel.
		Let's get Steve Smith in from the Cause of America.
		Steve, what is Cause for America?
		Why is it important?
		Where can people go?
		How can they sign up and what are they going to do?
unidentified		Good morning, Steve.
		Cause of America is a nonprofit that's citizen-led.
		Focused on, and nonpartisan, focused on helping states with election integrity.
		So what's important about it is really the states.
		So you can go to causeofamerica.org.
		You can, if you're not connected to your state grassroots election integrity processes and teams, we can get you connected to them and we help share the tools that they develop.
		So you can see, and I know you've talked to Linda Rance out of Missouri.
		You can see the checklist they developed.
		We'll have some one-on-one kind of explainers coming out about other things people should watch.
		The bottom line is that the parties are not going to support election integrity.
		The government is not going to support election integrity.
		It's up to us, and we are going to do it.
		So you have to watch the voter rolls and the voter history.
		You have to watch the ballots, the drop boxes, the voting centers.
		You have to watch the count, the audits.
		You have to get the data and do the math.
		And we know now.
		We didn't know in 2020.
		We didn't have enough people doing it.
		We weren't paying attention.
		That time is behind us now.
		They thought we were going to give up.
		It's not going to happen.
		We're going to take our elections back.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This Missouri, give me a quick thing.
		This Missouri thing's amazing.
		Just tell me about Missouri, this punch list that we're going to put up.
		We're also going to the Missouri team for Cause for America.
		Why is what they did so important and particularly for people to focus on when you're a poll worker, election official, whatever?
unidentified		Well, Steve, all I can think of when I look at all of these techniques and procedures and approaches that the states develop The grassroots citizens develop.
		Logan to put up on the precipice above Boston Harbor.
		That's what that's what drove the British out, right?
		So the Missouri checklists are training videos and then checklists for full watchers.
		What to look for, how to report when they have violations and deviations so that we can document when these election officials, but it's it's not really them.
		I mean, they're sort of the.
		They're sort of the bystanders for what's happening with the elections, because this has been deliberately constructed.
		So Linda Rance out of Missouri has posted up these great training videos in the checklist.
		They show you how to use them, and they're just a point by point of exactly what to look for in the voting centers, ways that our rules are violated, and vulnerabilities that are introduced, for example, when they don't the procedures for the thumb drives and that kind of thing.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		By the way, they're bipartisan.
		If you're a Democrat, come on.
		The thing's got to be fair and transparent.
		Here's the reason we know we're going to get two-thirds of the vote.
		We want the Democrats.
		We love democracy because you're about to get a democracy suppository, right?
		So come on.
		We want Democrats in the room.
		You're American citizens.
		American citizens can argue this thing out, but you got to play by the rules.
		That's what the majority checklist.
		The audio is a little garbled.
		Just give me the Boston example one more time because it's so powerful.
		What'd you say, sir?
unidentified		So what all the grassroots citizens are doing?
		I mean, there are pro se lawsuits being filed by citizens all across the country.
		They're just not giving up.
		And what it reminds me of is Henry Knox, who was a bookseller.
		And because he read the books he was selling to the British soldiers, to the Redcoats, he ended up becoming General George Washington's colonel of artillery.
		And when the Green Mountain Boys took Fort Ticonderoga, Henry Knox got the idea because they were outgunned in Boston.
		And they were going to lose because the British were stockpiling supplies and come spring, they were going to roll them.
		But Henry Knox got this idea and he just took volunteers up to Fort Ticonderoga, 300 miles of wilderness in the dead of winter.
		And they hauled back, I think it was, you know, 50 cannon, 59 tons of munitions across that icy wilderness with sledges and oxen and volunteers.
		And in the dead of night, they put them up on Dorchester Heights.
		And when the British woke up after a storm and a night of drinking, they were outgunned.
		And that's how the British left Boston, because citizens did it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Totally grassroots.
		Totally grassroots.
		It's a fabulous analogy.
		Sean Smith, Wynt Yard, right there.
		Fabulous analogy.
		General, eventually General Knox, one of the great heroes of the revolution.
		Sean, how do people get to Cause America?
		How do they get you on social media?
unidentified		You can get to us on causeofamerica.org.
		That's our site and we'll help connect you to state resources.
		And we're also on all the good media, you know, Truth Social and we're up on Lyndell and Frank Speech or Frank Social.
		But you can also find us on Twitter and you can find us on Rumble.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		The good and the bad, the good and the good and the kind of good and the very wicked Twitter.
		OK, Sean, thank you very much.
		Cause of America.
		Get to the ramparts.
		Remember, people are going to ask you, where were you during the midterms of 22?
		And you're going to say, I was working here.
		Bang.
		I was a volunteer here.
		Bang.
		I did this.
		Bang.
		You want to be part of this.
		You want to be able to tell the grandkids.
		All of it.
		Okay.
		The Hill newspaper catches up with the War Room.
		They said, we think this parental rights movement may be a big deal.
		All next in the War Room.
unidentified		War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Banham.
		The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
		War Room Pandemic.
		Here's your host, Stephen K. Banham.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Wow, was that a great bonus feature there with Colonel Sean Smith?
		That was amazing.
		Fantastic.
		Ticonderoga and the artillery that held, or I guess in this case, took Boston for us.
		Grassroots effort, just like the one we've got going here.
		I want to bring in, The Hill newspaper led, their lead story today was that GOP finds Parental rights movement sleeper issue in 2022.
		Note to Hill, I know you got bought by Nexstar which puts on News Nation and you know that is not quite cutting edge and I've noticed kind of a decline in the quality of thinking over at the Hill.
		But this one, folks, is like a swing and a miss.
		This has been big since April of 2021 when I said the key that's going to pick the lock here is the moms at the school boards.
		Then it was the mask mandates and the coming vaccine mandates and then CRT.
		But man, it exploded for much, much, much bigger than this.
		And this is why if the 16th victory of Donald Trump was providential, the 2020 big steal was providential because we had him flip over all the cards and we actually saw how radical these folks are.
		This is not a sleeper issue, Hill.
		This is main battery issue, okay?
		You got MAGA.
		This was Junkin.
		You got the MAGA vote with all the MAGA issues, and you got the moms in the suburbs are sitting there, even independent and Democratic women.
		This is why the New York Times, let's connect some dots.
		This is why the New York Times saying that we're leading even among independents and women.
		And if you look at the crosstabs, I think we're leading with independent women in double digits.
		Wait for it, double digits.
		How did that come about?
		It's not simply the economy.
		It's this issue, which is not a sleeper issue.
		Hill, wake up.
		You do this for a living.
		You're supposed to be professionals.
		Sloan Rackmuth, is this a sleeper issue, the parental rights movement, or is this an issue that has the nation on fire?
		From Dearborn, Michigan, to Loudoun County, Commonwealth of Virginia, to Texas, Florida, Arizona, It's Carrie Lake's one of her biggest issues, right?
		It's Tudor Dixon in Michigan, one of her biggest issues.
		This is on fire.
		This is how a sleep, this is how the inside the Beltway in D.C.
		doesn't understand what's happening in the country.
		And if you want to think about that, go look at the dads, the 500 Muslim fathers in Dearborn, Michigan the other day saying, hey, this is not going to happen on our watch.
		No way, no how.
		Sloane Rackmuth from North Carolina.
		And here, North Carolina, And people, you know, a great Southern state, North Carolina, may be the most radical of them all.
		Sloane Rackmuth.
unidentified		Indeed it is.
		I mean, look, this isn't only arguing against the common sense of the electorate.
		People, candidates who do not go out there and articulate the necessity of parental rights, what they're doing is they're betting against human nature.
		We have one side that wants to sacrifice children.
		We have the other side that wants to protect the specialness, the God-given rights of parents and their children and have that boundary from the family to the government.
		I mean, this is just human nature.
		Look, we know that the Democrats, by and large, are loud and proud on this.
		They want to rip children from the arms of their mothers at age of three with this universal pre-K.
		They want to medicate these children, sexualize these children, and indoctrinate them from cradle to grave.
		Republicans who are out there on the campaign trail and who are kind of sitting on the sidelines with regards to bringing this issue up, they're really missing the boat because as you just said, this is human nature and we know that the left is so They're so loud and proud with us that human nature is going to kick in with all of these moms, all of these people, and they're going to come in and protect the children.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, tell us, you've read the Hill article.
		How did they miss it so badly saying this is a sleeper issue?
		You're in contact with all the Moms for Liberty, Moms for America, you got all these parental rights groups are on fire.
		How could a major political newspaper talking about the most important midterm election since the Civil War, how could they sit there and go it's a sleeper issue?
		Is it a sleeper issue on anywhere you go or anybody you talk to, ma'am?
unidentified		I think it's willing and willful ignorance, actually.
		I think it's being very disingenuous.
		I think everyone knows what a big issue this is.
		Look, what's going on in these schools, with the sexualization of children in particular, it's one of the universal things, right?
		I mean, people just know that it's evil and wrong.
		One side's willing to tolerate it, the other side is willing Sloan.
		Sloan.
		Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		One side's not tolerating it.
		They're pushing it.
		This is why it's providential that they stole it in 2020.
		Because once you saw they're in power, they're in your grill.
		This is the groomer part.
		They're not shy about this.
		They're not tolerating it.
		They're pushing it hard.
		It's at the top of their agenda.
		In fact, it's embedded everywhere into the middle of their ideology.
		Am I missing that?
unidentified		No, I mean, they're absolutely pushing it.
		But here's the thing, Steve.
		They're allowing, they, the left, they're allowing these lunatic fringe folks to completely represent them.
		Look, I don't believe that all Democrats believe in this stuff, what's going on.
		I don't even believe that most do.
		But here's the difference.
		They are tolerating, you know... Any Democrat... I gotta disagree.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I don't think it's fringe.
		At first, that's why I'm saying this is providential.
		You gotta hear me out.
		Because I think people thought on the margins they had the stuff.
		No.
		This is what's happened with this drag queen stuff, what's happened in the schools, what's happened in the pornography, in the books.
		And these librarians and school board, they're not backing down.
		You know this.
		Yeah, absolutely.
		You even tried to pass in North Carolina, not just the Republican establishment, the Democrats.
		This does not tolerate.
		This is a central core element of their ideology.
		And this is why the big steal was so important.
		We now know that.
		And this is what's not negotiable, and there's no compromise.
		You can't compromise on this.
		You can't negotiate on this.
		It's either one thing or the other.
		And that's why you have Muslim fathers up in Dearborn, Michigan.
		This is why you have African-American dads all throughout the country, right?
		This is what's unifying us, because they're not tolerating it.
		This is the main battery.
		And you know this from Virginia.
		They're not backing off.
		I mean, Youngkin's passed these kind of executive orders, and they're saying, heck with that.
		Librarians are still doing it.
		School administrators are still doing it.
		The school boards won't back off.
		We just had the woman on the other day.
		The school board members basically laughed her in her face.
		So this is not toleration.
		This is a central tenet to their core ideology, ma'am.
unidentified		Right.
		Well, without a doubt, it's a major flank now in the Democrat Party.
		That's for sure.
		But we do see more so-called moderate Democrats here in the South, certainly here in North Carolina.
		Some are pastors, preachers, but here's the difference.
		They keep their mouth shut.
		They go along, they nod, etc.
		But let's take that to the average Democrat voter.
		This is key.
		So the leadership in the Democrats party here, as you said, they're pushing this, but they rank and file Democrat.
		It's wrong.
		They know it's wrong.
		And we need to keep pushing this issue because we've got so many independents.
		In fact, in North Carolina, for instance, more independents are registered to vote than our Republicans or Democrats.
		So A lot of these folks have had enough and they've had enough on this issue.
		This is a human nature issue.
		Human nature is going to kick in.
		We need to make sure that it kicks in as soon as the voter steps into that ballot box.
		Let it go.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Let me say this.
		The Hill newspaper, this is not a sleeper issue.
		This is one of the most significant issues of our time, right?
		Of our time.
		And this is going to, this is on the ballot.
		And this is one of the reasons I'm saying you've seen this alignment.
		You saw it in Youngkin in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
		These independent and moderate Democrat moms, as Sloan's talking about, if you mention Donald Trump, they will spit on the floor.
		And that's okay.
unidentified		Okay?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		That's okay.
		The MAGA vote comes out, they come out.
		It's a coalition.
		Right?
		It's a coalition.
		And you're seeing this throughout the country.
		You're seeing it in Michigan.
		Tudor Dixon is going to ride this to the governorship of Michigan, in addition to inflation and Whitmore being out of control.
		This is what's happening in New York State.
		This is one of the reasons we're piercing the veil in these deep blue states.
		It's crime.
		It's this out-of-control nature.
		It's parents' rights.
		Crime and inflation in the economy.
		That's the trifecta, right?
		Yeah.
		You add the southern border.
		How do people get to you, Sloan?
		How do they get to you to find out?
		Because I'm telling you, in the great Tar Heel state of North Carolina, There's something rotten.
		You've got a big problem.
		You've got a problem with the Republican establishment.
		It's too gutless to stand up.
		And you've got a super problem with all these, I don't want to say Yankees, that came down there to the great state of Carolina.
		But let me say it, these Yankees that came down there.
		So the great folks in North Carolina get on top of this.
		Where do they go, Sloan?
unidentified		First, I'd like to say we are here, Steve, because of the weakness of the Republican establishment that has had a stronghold at the General Assembly for the past 20 years.
		I cannot pin this radical move to the left over the last 20 years in our schools on anyone but on our own side.
		We have got to have a supermajority.
		We've got to have absolute bedrock strong Republicans.

		Okay, as big as the political event is going to be on the 22nd of excuse me the 8th of November of the year of our Lord 2022 the end of the Biden regime because it ends that night.
		Actually the biggest most important political event.
		of this year.
		It won't be Bolsonaro's election on the 30th of October, not even the end of the Biden administration.
		As huge as that is, unprecedented as it is, it's what's been taking place in Beijing starting on Sunday morning.
		Frank Gaffney and the team were live.
		I want to thank Real America's Voice for picking up.
		Had an amazing show on Saturday night that was live in Beijing on Sunday morning.
		There's a lot to talk about.
		She, the emperor for life, throws down hard against MAGA, the United States of America, Taiwan, Hong Kong, all of it.
		Liberty, freedom, and, wait for it, chips.
unidentified		All next in The War Room.
		War Room.
		Pandemic.
		We will fight till they're all gone. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the CTV.
		War Room. Pandemic. With Stephen K. Bannon. The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
		War Room.
		Pandemic.
		Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, the 20th Party Congress has kicked off, and it's actually, I think, even rougher than people thought it was going to be.
		She gave a two-hour speech to kind of kick things off, and to say it was up in the grill of the United States of America, and Dr. Bradley Thay has got an amazing piece on that, that we've put, I think, Epic Times, and we put it up on Getter.
		But I want to turn to two people.
		Once again, the Committee on the Present Danger.
		China is at the forefront, the cutting edge of this.
		Did a live show from Dallas, broadcast on Real America's Voice.
		At the very moment, things were kicking off in Beijing.
		I want to start with Frank Gaffney.
		Frank, set the framework for me.
		Then I'm going to bring in the great Reggie Littlejohn.
		Frank Gaffney.
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼		I'm happy, as always, to do a pas de deux with my friend, Reggie.
		We did it in Dallas, as a matter of fact, Saturday night.
		Her organization, Women's Rights Without Frontiers, co-sponsored with our committee on the present danger of China, a tremendous two-hour program.
		And I'm so grateful to Rob Sig and the team at Real America's Voice for putting it out for everybody to see.
		It really couldn't have been more timely.
		As it happens, it was counter-programming to Xi Jinping's throwdown.
		You know, back in the early 1990s, his predecessor, Deng Xiaoping, adopted a strategy that came to be called the hide and bide strategy, whereby they were going to wage unrestricted warfare against us, but concealing it behind a facade of collaboration and just wanting to become part of the international community and be our partner and so on.
		And what we actually saw, Steve, in the speech by Xi Jinping was Hiding no more.
		Biding no more.
		There's war underway, the unrestricted kind, which we documented at length in that program.
		And also, by the way, in another program that aired last night, highlights of our webinars from the Committee on the Present Danger of China, in which you feature prominently, I'm pleased to say.
		This is a moment where we now are on notice.
		The Chinese party is coming for us, not just for Taiwan, Not just for its chips, not just probably for our friends and other allies in the region, like Japan and the Philippines, but for us as well.
		And one of the things that we unveiled on the occasion of that presentation on Saturday night, Steve, which I really want to commend to your audience, we need your help with this big time.
		If you're looking for ways in which you can take action, action, action, no less, this is how you can do it.
		We've posted at ccpatwar.com a Take Action button, which will take you to what we call the CCP Challenge.
		And what it basically amounts to is a petition that you can sign in your own right, and then we hope that you will help get to people who are seeking to represent you This fall, going forward, because it will be on their watch, in all likelihood, if it doesn't start sooner, that this war will take place.
		Sign up for the challenge, the CCP challenge.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Here's why it's so important.
		Here's why you got to go to the CCP challenge.
		Banks already told us, the first thing they've already announced is a select committee on China, on the influence in the United States.
		But right, it's even going to change.
		And here's why it's going to change.
		Unrestricted warfare, which has been information, cyber and economic war, which the CCP has been engaged against the United States for decades, right, that the elites don't want to talk about.
		We are now headed on the path to kinetic war.
		This is the path to kinetic war.
		He laid it out.
		And with us cutting off the chips, which, Frank, I equate to cutting off the Japanese from oil in, what, the late 1930s, 1939?
		We're on the path to kinetic war with the CCP.
		But as Frankie Pantangelo said in The Godfather, best to hit them when we're strong.
		This is, they're coming for us.
		They've laid it out.
		They're coming for us, and they've laid it out, and there can be no back off.
		This is going to be a great power, not struggle, but a great power conflict, because our elites have been in business with them.
		Our elites have allowed this to happen.
		More about that.
		Frank, basically, this new thing to sign is to commit yourself, commit yourself to take down the CCP, but also our representatives and banks and these guys want to be there. We just have to have their back. Let me go to Reggie Littlejohn. Reggie, you sponsored this. It was amazing. Are we overplaying this about Xi's speech about how in the grill of the Judeo-Christian West he was, ma'am?
unidentified		The Chinese Communist Party is officially atheistic. They are hegemonic. They want to to take over the world and we are standing in their way.
		And they have been doing this underground for as long as they had to, but now that they feel that they basically have us, in no small part because of elite capture, not only of the political realm, but of the media, of entertainment, of academia, of finance, They want to move now.
		And part of the reason for that, Steve, is, I believe, because they can see that they are going to be on the decline.
		And the reason that they're going to be on the decline, one of the reasons, is because of the inevitable fallout from the one-child policy.
		Their population is on the decline now.
		They're at a cusp now.
		So it's really, I think, that they feel they need to move now.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		No, no, no.
		And by the way, the greatest ally we have here is Lao Bajing.
		The only way the CCP gets taken down is Lao Bajing.
		Old 100 names.
		The Chinese common man and woman who have been brutalized by this illegitimate criminal organization since 1949 with the help from the West.
		They helped from the elites in the West from the whole reason that they won the Civil War, right?
		This is what Joe McCarthy, Joe McCarthy started talking about China and then he started talking about the infiltration of the United States in Marxism and how people in the State Department and other elites helped the Chinese Communist Party come to power to the detriment of the population of China.
		Our greatest allies in this fight are Lao Bajing, or the Chinese people.
		They've been brutalized, and most brutalized at all, the 90 million people they killed outright.
		But as Miles Gross says, he thinks it's 400 million forced abortions, Reggie Littlejohn, to basically decimate the people of China.
		What say you?
unidentified		Well, number one, that number 400 million is greater than the entire population of the United States and Canada combined.
		And it's an old number.
		That's the number they were using 10 years ago.
		They've been forcibly boarding between 10 and 24 million people since then.
		I think it's more like 500 million at this point.
		And I am personally calling on them, because of the demographic disaster that they are facing, because they don't have enough babies, I'm calling on them to end all coercive population control.
		No three-child policy.
		No policy at all.
		And to apply that so that unmarried women can have babies, which is currently illegal, and also to apply it unrestrictedly to Tibetans and Uyghurs, who are still being decimated by population control policies.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		The war in the womb will have Reggie back on.
		She's got an amazing presentation of this.
		Reggie, how do people get you?
		What you did on Saturday night was monumental.
		The first time that anyone actually had, during the opening of the 20th Party Congress or any party Congress, live coverage to get in their grill and let them know that we're watching every move they make.
		Reggie, how do people get to you?
unidentified		womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org.
unidentified		That's womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org and also at Reggie Littlejohn on Getter and other alternative social media sites.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Reggie, great job.
		Fantastic Saturday night.
		Gaffney, you're everywhere.
		You're Real America's Voice.
		You've got stuff up on Getter.
		You've got places everywhere.
		The committee, Center for Security Policy.
		How do people get it all?
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼		presentdangerchina.org.
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼		ccpatwar.com where you can sign the CCP challenge and please get it to your elected representatives and of course at the Center for Security Policy securefreedom.org.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This is why the challenge is so important.
		We need your commitment because your commitment is going to get, look, banks and the guys have said it's the first thing they've announced and the commitment to America, the one really Detailed that they laid out. They had some general stuff at the detail is a select committee on the CCP It's influence here in the United States, which hey may even address hunters laptop. Who knows random thought But it's also going to now to incorporate the 20th Party Congress You can't look away from this.
		You haven't seen this coverage on the mainstream media all weekend, right?
		And you know why?
		They're in cahoots with them.
		They don't want to talk about this.
		Joe Biden's national security policy reversed what Trump said.
		We said it was China, most importantly.
		Oh, yeah, and also Russia.
		They reversed it.
		This is what they are saying.
		They said, oh, Russia is the immediate threat.
		China is the long-term threat.
		Note to self, the South China Sea, the chips, the huge impact on the American economy, Taiwan, the air and naval blockade, and maybe actually the amphibious landing, that's an immediate threat.
		Don't take it from me.
		Take it from a guy named Xi, who gave you a two-hour speech to walk you through exactly what he's going to do.
		As we've said on this show, and I've said now for 10 years, the Chinese Communist Party, it's a criminal organization.
		It's an existential threat to Lao-Beijing and the Chinese people.
		It's an existential threat to every nation in Asia and Eurasia.
		And it's specifically a threat to every citizen of this country and to the American Republic.
		Frank Gaffney, thank you for being on watch, sir.
frank gaffney ▲ ● ▼		Thank you for your support, Steve.
unidentified		God bless you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, brother.
		Let's bring in Michael Walsh.
		Michael is one of the great original editors of Big Journalism over at Breitbart, one of Andrew's original editors, now has an amazing book and a big event at Hillsdale tomorrow night.
		Michael, now more than ever, The Great Reset.
		How'd you bring these thinkers together?
		Walk us through.
		Take it from here.
		Walk us through the power of this book.
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		Sure, the book's called Against the Great Reset, Steve.
		It's 18 Theses Against the New World Order, and it started about a year and a half ago when the site that I am editing, which is the-pipeline.org, thepipeline.org, we decided to pull together all of the themes that we need to address.
		You and Frank have just been speaking about China.
		Our main focus is on energy, Governmental lockdowns that followed COVID illegally, the whole climate change hoax.
		And the locus of all of this, Steve, is in Davos, Switzerland, where something called the World Economic Forum every year, annually, obviously, has a meeting in which they plot, and that's not too strong a word, something called the Great Reset.
		And that is a piggyback on the COVID panic in which governments institutionalized Unconditional, uh, unconstitutional lockdown.
		So we have assembled, uh, 17 writers from around the world.
		One of them, the late Angelo Cotevilla, unfortunately, but many of them are household names to any good conservative, including Conrad Black and Michael Anton and, uh, Roger Kimball, David Goldman.
		I contributed an essay myself, but basically I asked everybody I knew that I thought would be of Some authority on this field to contribute, and most people did.
		And the result is tomorrow we publish, against the Great Reset, 18 theses contra the New World Order.
		And I'm so happy to have you be part of this.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Look, here's the important thing about this.
		It's not just the quality of thinkers, right?
		You've got some of the most prominent voices in the world.
		The operant word is against.
		There's other books out and some great books about the description of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
		This is the cutting edge ideologically.
		In the power of the book, it's against the Great Reset.
		This actually shows you how we're going to go on offense.
		Give me a minute on that, Walsh, before we go to break.
		We're going to hold you through the break.
		It's against the Great Reset.
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		Yes, and there's a long intellectual history of against books, Steve, and they go all the way back to attacks on King Philip of Macedon, who was Alexander the Great's father, Cicero's famous Philippics against Mark Antony, the early Christian theologian Tertullian against Marcian, who was a contrary voice in the development of Christology and early Christianity,
		Nietzsche against Wagner when the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche fell out with his mentor Richard Wagner, the composer.
		The point is, what you're doing, what Frank's doing, what we're all doing, we're all doing different things as part of this movement.
		I have chosen the, shall we say, slightly more, what's the word I'm looking for, remote, but 30,000 feet view down.
		You're in the trenches, Frank's in the trenches, a lot of people you have on the show are in the trenches, We tried to step back and say, what is this going to look like?
		What are we doing?
unidentified		Right.
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		So we've produced a book that will last, that is not just throwaway journalism in hardcover.
unidentified		Yeah.
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		And more later.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hang on one second.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Michael Walsh, the great thinker, the leader of the against the WEF, next in the War Room.
unidentified		New social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, I'm cancelling cancel culture.
		Join the marketplace of ideas.
		The platform for independent thought has arrived.
		Superior technology.
		No more selling your personal data.
		No more censorship.
		No more cancel culture.
		Enough.
		Getter has arrived.
		It's time to say what you want, the way you want.
		Download now.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, I have to have a little conversation with our, before we go back to Michael Walsh, our head of marketing over at Media Matters, Madeline Peltz, who kind of lost it over the weekend saying, we're trying to recruit an army of like anti-Semites, brown shirts to be in these, to be poll workers and poll watchers.
		No, Madeline, our army is not made up of anti-Semites.
		Far from it, right?
		We have many, many thousands and thousands, tens of thousands.
		I love it.
		I don't know what it is.
		Many of those are volunteers, so no, it's not anti-Semites.
		But she's really left the reservation here.
		And this is Steve Bannon, this is from Sloan Rackmouth's.
		Steve Bannon has a white woman on his show with a sign shaped like cotton in the background that says Southern Roots on it.
		Madeline, come on, is this like, I love it.
		I don't know what it is.
		I think she took umbrage when I said Yankee.
		Okay, Madeline.
		I don't know.
		It's like, it's almost gone like theater of the absurd now.
		I don't know if she's trolling or if this is like real, but anyway, the marketing department's working great.
		The show gets bigger, bigger every day, a bigger audience, more downloads than podcasts and more live.
		And Madeline, we love you.
		We pray for you.
		During your illness.
		We think you're fantastic.
		We love the entire team.
		Particularly the fact that you watch a show so closely and get so upset.
		By the way, I can understand in seeing that.
		I might want to talk to Sloan about, I'm not a big tchotchkes person.
		There's a lot of tchotchkes there.
		I think the pink candle holder is one that I might take personal offense or maybe the gold pumpkin.
		Right?
		But certainly not the southern roots on the ball of cotton or something, whatever.
		Anyway, Madeleine Peltz, the head of marketing over Media Matters.
		Hat tip for you for following so closely.
		Michael Walsh, there's an event tomorrow around this.
		What I love about The Great Reset, you're launching the book.
		And look, these are the heaviest.
		It's Anton.
		It's Conrad Black.
		You've got one heavy hitter after the other.
		You've written for this.
		To think about against the reset, it kind of pulls the camera back, but exactly where this thing's going and what needs to be done to counter it.
		Talk to us about the kickoff event that's going to take place tomorrow night.
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		Yes, so tomorrow night we're at the Kirby Center of Hillsdale College in Washington DC off of Massachusetts Ave.
		The event starts at 6 o'clock.
		It runs till 8.
		And you'll be joining Mike Anton and John Tierney, two of the writers that we've enlisted in this crusade with not too strong word.
		Mike Anton will be there, former National Security Council guy, John Tierney, formerly of the New York Times, old friend of mine, who's writing about COVID lockdowns and how they forecast exactly what the World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab have in store for us.
		We all saw the beta test, which was COVID lockdowns.
		Now you're going to get the real thing.
		And what we have here is a kind of concatenation of grief coming, not only from China, as you've been talking, but from the Europeans as well, and these oligarchs who want to control everything you do.
		You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
		That's their catchphrase.
		And if you're against it, please join our crusade.
		Please, not only buy the book, attend tomorrow night if you can, listen to the great writers that we've assembled for this, but remember, This is just the start.
		This is not a one-off.
		There will be more against books in our series on various other issues.
		But we thought we'd launch against the biggest target we can find.
		You know, Steve, I grew up in the Marine Corps, as you well know.
		And what you learn from your Marine Corps war veteran chosen reservoir hero dad is never give up, always keep fighting.
		There's always a fight to be had if you just stay in it.
		And if we give up and run, we're out of business.
		So please come to our assistance, as you've done, not just you, Steve, obviously, but everyone else in the country who believes in patriotism, who believes in the country as founded, and who thinks our way of life is worth defending.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This is, this sets the kind of framework for why 8 November has such meaning and purpose for the victory.
		Remember, there's no substitute.
		If I can quote a great army officer, Douglas MacArthur, in war, there is no substitute for victory.
		And we're in a political war, right?
		It's not going to get to be a violence.
		It's not going to be, all these people talking about civil war, it's not going to happen because we're two thirds of the nation.
		We're not going to tolerate it.
		We're going to win at the ballot box.
		But the reason we need to win is what's laid out against the great reset, Michael Walsh.
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, let me tell you, I'm turning 73 next Sunday.
		So I have been in this fight since I was 17 years old when I first went to college.
		These people never change.
		They are exactly the same as they were in 1967 when I met them.
		You mentioned media matters.
		They're lunatics.
		And we have to understand they come at us from a great reservoir of hatred and resentment and anger.
		And the only way you can deal with them Well, I would say the Romans make a very good predecessor for us.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Drumhead, drumhead.
		No, just on the Media Matters history, Michael, who's there, the first wave with Breitbart, with the original editors, and Andrew, of course, even before we got the new site, this is back with the old site, and what's called the bigs, David Brock had founded Media Matters, and his number one target was Andrew Breitbart.
		But Andrew Breitbart took it on.
		By the way, Andrew took it in the spirit he always took it in.
		Remember, they would put the most vile stuff out about Andrew and he'd retweet it immediately.
		That's why before Trump came to Twitter, he was the king of Twitter.
		Michael Walsh.
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		Here's the cover of the book so people can see it.
		Against the Great Reset.
		On sale tomorrow.
		And let's get it off to a great start.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Thank you for all your help.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Can we go to Amazon right now and order it, Michael?
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		Yes, and I recommend that you do, because Steve, as you know, my last book, which was called Last Stands, sold out on day one, day one from Macmillan.
		And you had to wait a month and a half to get your copy.
		So please order now.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Last Stands is one of my favorite, Michael, such a great writer.
		Tomorrow, one more time, where do people go?
		And if they can't go, Michael, is it going to be live stream?
		Is there a site we can go to at Kirby or at Hillsdale to watch it?
		Or does it have to be their live?
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, they have to be there live, but it won't be live streamed tomorrow.
		There will be a video record of it made, however, so we'll put it up when we can.
		On the Pipeline.org.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Pipeline.org.
		Okay, fine.
		We want to make sure we have a packed house tomorrow.
		Michael Walsh, take care of yourself.
		You're a warrior.
		We need you.
		You're always in the fight.
		We need you at the tip of the spear, so no slouching, sir.
		Michael Walsh, honored to have you on here, brother.
michael walsh ▲ ● ▼		I'll be off the DL in a month or so, Steve, and we'll be back in the game.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Exactly.
		I think it's now called the Injured Reserve List.
		That's what it means.
		It's the Injured Reserve List, bro.
		Way off the disabled list.
		Okay.
		Tonight at 5 o'clock, we're going to be on fire because we're the eve of three weeks away from the most important midterm in the history of the nation since 1862.
		And you're part of this history.
		Everybody to the ramparts.
		Remember, once again, there is no substitute for victory.
		We'll see you back here at 5.
