Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
willie geist
War Room.
That doesn't make a lot of sense either.
Let's turn to the ongoing debt ceiling negotiations that reportedly hit a snag yesterday with the clock ticking here.
According to a source familiar with the discussions, both sides Still disagree on future federal spending levels.
That's a big disagreement. For the latest, let's go to the White House and NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Kristen Welker.
Kristen, we are eight days away now from that deadline laid out by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
unidentified
Willie, eight days away and there's still no deal in sight.
And I was on the phone with a Democratic official who's familiar with the negotiations very late last night, who said to me that these negotiations have hit a, quote, speed bump.
So, Taking a step back, what are we witnessing here?
Well, look, we know that these high-stakes negotiations come down to the wire, but this is really coming down to the wire.
This Dem official trying to turn up the heat on Speaker McCarthy saying overnight, quote, as President Biden has negotiated in good faith on the budget, Speaker McCarthy has bowed to MAGA extremists who want no compromise.
Now, we have seen quite a lot of Speaker McCarthy Willie, he's been talking to reporters in the hallways of Congress as he shuttles back and forth between these meetings.
And he spoke to our Ryan Nobles yesterday, who pressed him on whether the fact that they are still deadlocked means that there is an increasing chance that there will be a short-term deal on the debt limit.
Take a look at that exchange.
If you think you're almost there with Republicans on June 1st, would there be any talk about the potential shortage?
I don't see kicking the can down the road being beneficial.
I don't want to do anything that slows the negotiations.
You've got to have the negotiations.
willie geist
Even if you're really close.
unidentified
I mean, there's got to be concern that the clock is kicking.
Remember, you wonder whether I'd have to get to this?
steve bannon
I didn't know. I mean, I never care about this.
unidentified
So, Willie, just to reiterate there, you heard him say, we'll get it done.
But look, I am told there are still a number of sticking points.
You talked about some of them.
The biggest one, I am told, is overspending.
Republicans want sharper spending cuts than Democrats.
Democrats are saying, look, if we take a big bite out of non-defense spending, that's going to hurt things like health care and education.
But the other big issue here is over work requirements.
Will there be work requirements for Social safety net programs like food and housing assistance.
The president has said he will not allow Medicaid to be touched, but he has cracked the door open just a little bit to the possibility that there could be some tweaks around the edges.
of work requirements. The president has tried to put taxes on the table, Willie.
He wants to close some loopholes.
He said, let's increase taxes on wealthy Americans.
Republicans are calling that a red line.
And by the way, some Democrats are upset about that.
They're saying that the president waited too late to enter negotiations and now he's given up some of his leverage.
So just to stress this point, look, if they can figure out the spending piece of this, I am told that would really open up the floodgates to some of these other sticking points.
They're one area of agreement so far.
They've agreed to claw back unspent COVID funds, which I am told could save an estimated $30 billion, which is really a drop in the bucket of the overall budget.
But it is an area of common ground.
And one more point, Willie, still no word on when or if negotiations will resume today.
A brand new CNN poll released today shows 60 % of Americans say Congress should only raise the nation's debt ceiling if it cuts spending at the same time.
Democrats say the two shouldn't be linked, as you know.
Is your party, though, out of touch right now with Americans on this very sensitive issue?
Well, here's the thing. I've been doing this for a little while, and I've had probably hundreds of town hall meetings.
In the abstract, Americans want to cut spending.
We want to cut spending. Yes, cut spending.
Okay. Do you want to cut defense spending?
Absolutely not. By the way, that's the position of the Republicans.
Do you want to cut Social Security spending?
Absolutely not. Do you want to cut Medicare spending?
Absolutely not. The three things I just named for you are three quarters of the federal budget.
So in the abstract, people want to cut spending.
When you actually get into what those cuts are, whether it's farm subsidies or Medicare or Social Security, oh, no, no, no, no.
At that point, nobody wants to cut spending.
So saying that you want to cut spending is a little bit like saying, you know, do you want to eat ice cream?
Yes, I want to eat ice cream.
But guess what? You know, I do that for a long period of time.
There's going to be some implications.
So... You know, the whole polling thing, you know, unless you can tell me what spending you want to cut that is meaningful, that you're willing to say, I want to cut Medicare, I want to cut Social Security, I want to cut defense spending, you know, you're just talking about ice cream.
I think there would be a huge backlash from our entire House Democratic caucus, certainly the progressives, but also in the streets.
I think that it's important that we don't take steps back from the very strong agenda that the president himself shepherded and led over the last two years.
But if the president agrees to spending caps or if he agrees to work requirements on certain social safety...
It's going to be a problem. We do not legislate through the debt ceiling for this very reason.
steve bannon
Oh, yes, we do.
Show me the money. Show me your work.
It's Wednesday, 24 May in the year of our Lord, 2023.
We're rolling up to the highest civic holiday we have, Memorial Day weekend.
We're going to be doing specials all weekend with Jack Posobiec, Patrick K. O'Donnell, our traditional The Honored Dead shows.
More on that later. But we have work to do before then, but I don't think we're going to get a debt deal done, as we should not, because 1-June's a phony number.
We've got MTG in here.
The impeachment week has blown up.
We're going to get to all that momentarily.
But Congressman Green, I need you to, because now we're getting to the point of, hey, forget a deal right now.
Let's talk about what the numbers are, okay?
Give some inside baseball of all these little yammering reporters.
What are they running around bothering you about yesterday?
marjorie taylor greene
Oh, the big question they asked everywhere on the Hill asked me, I don't know how many times asked a whole bunch of my Republican colleagues is they said, do you believe the June 1st date is the deadline and the country will default?
What do you have to say about that?
Do you believe that's the date?
Question over and over again.
I kept saying, why are you asking me?
Why don't you ask Janet Yellen over at the Treasury?
Because she's the one that set the date.
And, you know, so why are they running around asking Republicans?
I'll tell you why, Steve. They do this to build a pressure cooker campaign.
They work for the left.
They work for Joe Biden.
They want to get Republicans all up in a tizzy.
Let me tell you something. We are cool as a cucumber.
We're cool as a cucumber because we aren't concerned over it.
We did our job.
We passed a bill that cut $4.8 trillion in spending to raise Joe Biden's debt ceiling, and he's the one that can't come to the table and get it done.
steve bannon
This is what we talked about. You gave him a debt ceiling increase.
Yeah. But you said to do that, we have to have some logical reductions in focus here, which came to $4.5 trillion plus some other things.
They got what they wanted.
That's right. Have they really responded to that yet?
marjorie taylor greene
No. Joe Biden is hooked on he wants to raise taxes and increase spending.
He's saying we're going to raise taxes, bring in more revenue in order to raise the debt ceiling.
That is his plan. That's what he keeps pushing back on.
Let me give you guys a little stat.
Here's a stat. Joe Biden has been in office longer than I have been alive, and I am not young.
I'll be 49 on Saturday.
Joe Biden has been in this town for 50 years.
50 years. You know what our national debt was when Joe Biden got here?
$438 billion.
With a B, $438 billion.
He's part of the problem. Joe Biden is the problem.
Him and others just like him.
They are the problem.
They're the ones that created this.
And this old fool is sitting in the White House.
And has the audacity to push back on all of us and say, no, no, no, how we're going to raise the debt ceiling is we're going to increase taxes on the American people and bring in more revenue.
Joe Biden is an absolute fool, an absolute fool.
We don't care what he has to say.
We are not budging. It is not happening.
steve bannon
Do you want me through?
Treasury and seeing a model, you ran a construction business, right?
Did you ever make a big move on anything that you did not go through the numbers, the math?
marjorie taylor greene
Absolutely not. That's how you destroy your business.
That's how you go bankrupt.
So anytime you have a big project, and all the people watching War Room know this because they live this daily in their lives, anytime when you're running a business you have a big project, if you're going to make a decision or a change to the project you're running, if you're going to add a new division in your company, If you're going to take on new expenses, then you look at your books.
You look at how much revenue you have coming in.
You check how much money you have in your account.
You look at the job site.
You look at how much material do I have on hand before I order more to continue this project.
How many laborers do I have?
How many contractors do I have?
How many employees do I have?
What is my overhead?
You look hard at your numbers before you make any decision Any decision to take on more debt, and that is what Joe Biden is trying to fool everyone into doing.
steve bannon
Okay, so you're making decisions here.
You guys have passed a bill, but you're talking about the direction of the country for a decade.
You're talking about the capital markets in this country, everything related to the money and power in this city and the direction of the nation.
Has Janet Yellen come forward and shown you as a business person any cent of math?
marjorie taylor greene
No. She's over there with smoke and mirrors.
Seriously, it's such a joke.
And let's be real. Guess what?
This is something that every taxpayer knows.
This government here, they take in money every single day, Steve.
There's plenty of cash. Oh, there's plenty of cash.
It comes flooding in every day.
And what do they do over there at the Treasury?
They just keep printing more money.
steve bannon
Are there enough people—now McHenry's talking about this—Gates, and I think McHenry's a lawyer.
I know Gates is a lawyer. But are there enough hard-headed—we had Ralph Norman on last night.
He's a hard-headed business guy.
You're a business person. Are there enough hard-headed business people that say, hey, we need to see what's really going on here before we rush and do anything big?
They keep saying 1 June.
Show us your work.
marjorie taylor greene
Well, here's what's happening in our conference.
We're not sweating this at all.
No one is freaking out.
No one is concerned about this mystery date that Janet Yellen has thrown out like it's going to actually crash America.
The only people worked up about the mystery date is probably the New York Stock Exchange.
I mean, let's be real about exactly what it is.
Regular Americans living their lives day in and day out, don't worry about the government shutting down.
steve bannon
And the oligarchs that run Wall Street.
They're the ones all over McCarthy and his team.
They're the ones on media all the time.
And it's all phony. I keep saying these hedge fund guys up on Wall Street, they don't do anything.
They look at the math. I keep asking.
I said, have you seen a set of numbers from Treasury?
And they go, well, I said, well, then what are we talking about?
The Politico had the story that in Treasury, the worker bees have already worked out a program of prioritization of payments.
Cash comes in. We're not going to default.
It'd be like you defaulting on a bank loan.
marjorie taylor greene
We're not going to default.
steve bannon
May some Department of Labor or Department of Education contractors or Raytheon contractors get their check three days late or four days late between now and the 15th?
Hey, I don't know, but that's a managed process.
That's not defaulting on the full faith and credit of the United States, is it?
marjorie taylor greene
Absolutely. Well, I don't work for the military-industrial complex anyways, so it's okay with me if they don't get their checks for more war in Ukraine.
steve bannon
And you're not happy. By the way, in the cuts they had, they didn't take any $100 billion out.
Biden wouldn't agree to that.
You're not even that happy with the deal you voted for.
You voted for it to say, hey, sure, we got something.
It brought the team together.
marjorie taylor greene
None of us wanted to do this.
unidentified
But you wanted more cuts. Oh, I'd cut a whole lot more.
marjorie taylor greene
I can name some agencies with three letters that I would cut right away, and I think they deserve it, and the American people agree with it.
steve bannon
You would defund the FBI? You would defund DOJ? You would defund the CIA at starts and say, hey, you guys got to come and show us what you're really doing for the American people, not against the American people?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, to quote a great man, I would say we need to splinter it into a thousand pieces, not just the CIA, the FBI, the DOJ. Yeah, they need to be ripped down, but then they need to be rebuilt correctly.
They are rotten to the core, Steve, rotten to the core.
steve bannon
And you know this from your time on oversight and these other committees you're sitting on about how they don't give you documents.
They fight you every step of the way?
marjorie taylor greene
Yeah, we have Christopher Wray right now, Steve.
And I want you to think about the gall of the FBI director is flat out refusing to hand over to our oversight committee an F.D. 1023 form that is not classified.
This is not classified.
And we have subpoenaed it.
The FBI Director, Chris Ray, is refusing to hand over this form because the form shows direct proof of Vice President Joe Biden taking money from a foreign national in exchange for foreign policy decisions.
That is a pay-to-play scheme that if it is what we think it is, not only will it lead to Joe Biden's impeachment, Joe Biden belongs in jail.
steve bannon
We're going to talk about the massive outpouring on impeachment week when we come back.
Does House Oversight have jurisdiction over FBI in this regard?
marjorie taylor greene
Yes. Oversight has full jurisdiction over every single part of the federal government.
steve bannon
You heard it right there. Short commercial break.
Back in a moment in the war room about the separation of powers.
Next.
marjorie taylor greene
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Last week I introduced articles of impeachment against five people who have abused the power of their positions and provided corruption and disservice to the American people.
I introduced articles of impeachment against U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves at the Department of Justice.
Matthew Graves refuses to prosecute 67 % of the crimes in Washington, D.C. and abuses his office in a political pursuit who he deems political enemies while persecuting people for January 6th, people who just walked through the Capitol.
Matthew Graves must be impeached.
He should prosecute criminals in Washington, D.C. that commit all kinds of crimes every single day, not care about one day where people have already been arrested and are rotting in jail.
Last week, I introduced articles of impeachment against FBI Director Christopher Wray.
By turning the FBI into Joe Biden and Merrick Garland's personal police force, Chris Wray has made himself a lackey of the regime.
Under Wray's watch, the FBI has intimidated, harassed, and trapped American citizens that have been deemed enemies of the Biden regime.
FBI even raided Mar-a-Lago on August 8th of 2022 in an unconstitutional raid of former president's home.
FBI whistleblower Garrett O'Boyle told congressional investigators that the FBI created a terrorist threat tag following the Dobbs Supreme Court decision in 2022.
O'Boyle confirmed that the purpose of the tag was to target pro-life individuals, and now Ray has weaponized the FBI against his own agents.
These brave FBI whistleblowers have been stripped of their salaries and their security clearances simply for coming forward and bravely telling the truth.
FBI Director Christopher Ray must be impeached.
I introduced articles of impeachment against Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Since Merrick Garland took over as Attorney General in March of 2021, he has completely weaponized the Department of Justice.
The politicization of the Department of Justice has resulted in the persecution of the left's political enemies in a real two-tiered justice system in America.
Garland has used the FBI as a personal police force for his boss, Joe Biden.
The Department of Justice's persecution of Joe Biden's primary political adversary, Donald J. Trump, is anti-democratic.
Raiding the former president's home for legally declassifying documents is a transparent violation of justice.
Persecuting a declared candidate for president of the United States is nothing short of election interference.
But not only that.
From investigating parents who protest their local school boards to going after pro-life activists and Catholics, Merrick Garland must be impeached.
What I want to tell the House of Representatives today is a Rasmussen poll was released just last week that 53 % of voters in America, Republicans, Independents and Democrats, support the impeachment of Joe Biden for high crimes and misdemeanors.
I introduced articles of impeachment on Joe Biden last week because of the national security crisis at our border.
I also introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for failing to do his duties to secure America's border.
But he's only doing the bidding of his boss, Joe Biden.
At 5 p.m. yesterday, I released a survey simply on my social media asking, do you support impeachment?
8,600 people responded, and that was just from 5 p.m.
last night. 77 % said yes, they support impeachment.
Only 23 % oppose.
And if anyone's read the comments on my Twitter account, you know for sure it's not just Republicans that follow me.
Joe Biden has deliberately compromised our national security by refusing to enforce immigration laws and secure our border.
He has allowed nearly 6 million illegals from over 170 countries to invade our country.
He has caused approximately 1,700 % increase in border encounters in just one sector of our northern border.
Under his reign, there have been approximately 1.4 million known gotaways who have evaded U.S. authorities.
He has allowed fentanyl, the number one killer of Americans between ages of 18 and 45, to overwhelmingly flood into our country and kill over 300 Americans every single day.
Joe Biden should be impeached.
In my district alone, we have had an increase of 350 % of fentanyl murders.
steve bannon
Okay, Wednesday, 24 May, year of Laura, 2023.
We're going to get back to the polling, this amazing polling on the debt ceiling and everything with the debt ceiling.
Understand that you are the chairman of the Credits Committee, this audience, and you're having an impact.
Another place you're having an impact.
I want to talk about these massive, overwhelming numbers.
Phone calls and signing up for things have huge impact because it filters through the House.
This is why MTG is now taking to the well of the House to make these speeches, correct?
marjorie taylor greene
That's right. I gave that floor speech just yesterday on the House floor because every single Republican needs to understand how important it is to you at home that these impeachments happen.
You all have had enough.
I've heard your voices. I've heard you loud and clear.
I've had enough. And that's why I started impeachmentteam.com.
Let me tell you where we're at, and this is the power of the war room.
We're at over 45,000 citizen co-sponsors.
steve bannon
Hold it. That's impossible.
45,000? Yeah.
marjorie taylor greene
No, it's unbelievable.
I had no idea this would happen so fast.
45,000 citizen co-sponsors.
That's all of you at home watching the war room.
I need you to send this to your friends.
Send it to your family.
Impeachmentteam.com.
The power belongs to you, the people at home, and that's what Republicans on the Hill need to hear.
steve bannon
Has that gotten their attention up there when you have 45,000 citizen co-sponsors?
marjorie taylor greene
It is getting their attention, yeah.
You want to know why? I've got some co-sponsors coming in.
Diana Harshberger of Tennessee, she co-sponsored all five articles of impeachment for each person.
Barry Moore is on three, weaponization of government.
Matt Gaetz, he's an original co-sponsor on Mayorkas and Joe Biden for impeachment for the border.
Corey Mills, all five articles of impeachment.
Wow. Anna Paulina Luna.
All five of them. People are listening.
They're coming on, and more need to be pushed.
steve bannon
These are stars you just named.
These are people with bright futures.
marjorie taylor greene
Oh, these are the people with courage.
These are the people with courage.
But we need more Republicans with courage, and they're out there, and they really need to hear from you.
And let me tell you another way you can do it.
Not only can you sign up and be a citizen co-sponsor on impeachmentteam.com, you can call their office.
Yeah. And I'll give you the phone number, 202-225-3121.
202-225-3121.
You can call the House of Representatives and ask any Republican.
steve bannon
Now, talk about your phone calls, because the Warren Posse is coming to support you, but talk about the number of phone calls.
marjorie taylor greene
Okay, this is the part that amazed me.
People have been burning down the phone lines to my office because they're so excited, Steve.
I don't know if this has ever happened to any member on the Hill before.
Our office got over 4,000 phone calls in approximately five days.
My offices were overwhelmed.
My staff was overwhelmed.
And here's the good news. Not only were they overwhelmed on the phones, they were elated.
And I'll tell you why. 80 % of these calls were in favor of impeachment.
80%. The numbers are unbelievable, and that's what I need my colleagues to understand, is this isn't Marjorie Taylor Greene just throwing out articles of impeachment.
I'm actually doing the will of the people because you're demanding it.
And here I'll give you another thing.
Monday night, through my official office, they released at 5 p.m.
on Monday night, they released a survey just asking people, do you support impeachment or are you against impeachment?
There have been over 14,000 people take the survey through my official office, and 77 % of those are in favor of impeachment.
These numbers are unbelievable.
And I'll give you a comparison.
When Bill Clinton was impeached, the public opinion did not support it.
Exactly. Three out of ten Americans, three out of ten only supported Bill Clinton being impeached.
And the Republicans here had the courage to do it anyways.
They impeached him for lying to Congress over a sexual favor with an intern.
But Republicans today cannot even move on impeachment when the American people support it overwhelmingly.
steve bannon
Let me just go back to this. So, impeachmentteam.com, I want everybody in the war room to go check it out right now.
You have 44,000 citizen co-sponsors.
marjorie taylor greene
45,000.
steve bannon
45,000. We want to get to 100,000 Ladies and gentlemen, through Memorial Day weekend.
We want to go to impeachmentteam.com.
Totally free. 45,000 now.
We want to get to 100,000. Be a co-sponsor of this bill.
The bills are up there. People can read.
marjorie taylor greene
Oh, you can read the bills?
steve bannon
Don't sign anything you don't feel comfortable with.
That's right. Look, we want to immerse you.
The key of the word is immerse you with information.
Okay? And use your own agency.
So go there. Check it out.
If you're so inclined, sign up.
The official survey, you got 14,000.
marjorie taylor greene
That's massive. I mean, it's unbelievable.
steve bannon
Today's Wednesday. And that was 77 % for impeachment?
marjorie taylor greene
For impeachment. Okay. That was from my official office.
So our numbers are huge.
I mean, they're growing. And the phone calls are 4,000 phone calls.
The phone calls are rumbling. My staff, they said that when they went home from work, they just said they went home and they just need silence.
Even though they were thrilled.
I can't tell you how happy they were.
They were so happy that so many people were calling and supporting.
steve bannon
It was amazing. Can you stay for another block?
Yeah, I can stick around. By the way, you cannot possibly be 49 years old.
marjorie taylor greene
Yeah, 49 on Saturday.
steve bannon
Oh my God, so bright and perky and all that.
Okay. And by the way, the Democrats up here absolutely love you.
marjorie taylor greene
Oh, they're so, bless their hearts.
steve bannon
You trigger them every second of every day.
You know why? Because you're always on offense.
You never play defense.
marjorie taylor greene
Always offense. I love my country.
steve bannon
Short commercial break.
MTG's in the house. We've got a lot more to go through.
Particularly, she's going to have some comments.
We're going to go live with Michelle Bachman, I think, at the UN. Noor bin Laden is outside.
We're going to go about the World Health Organization.
We're on that. This team, the War Room Posse, the things you're doing right now are unbelievable.
You're moving the needle on so many areas.
We'll talk all about that when we return in The Word.
unidentified
Let's take down the CCP! Here's your host, Stephen K. Van.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome back. We've got a lot of clips at play, but I want to get MTG in here live as much as possible.
The polling, to go back to the...
Okay, so first off, everybody right now, go get all the information.
Impeachmentteam.com.
It's all there. Read it.
Make sure you agree with it.
If you agree with it, become a co-sponsor.
Become a citizen co-sponsor.
45,000 of your countrymen.
We want to get to 100,000.
By the end of Memorial Day weekend.
Also, make a phone call.
202-225-3121.
That's the switchboard for the House.
If you're so inclined, call the Senate and say, what are you guys doing?
Are you leaning on your rakes? 202-224-3121.
This weekend's going to be a lot of gibberish back and forth.
Remember, hold the line and show us the work.
Janet Yellen, and I strongly believe That the Speaker, and maybe McHenry's in charge of the Finance Committee, ought to send an invitation, start with an invitation, for Janet Yellen to come over maybe Tuesday when you guys are back or Wednesday and present to the American people in a formal setting of a hearing and put some charts up and let's, you know, show us your work. Absolutely.
marjorie taylor greene
Janet Yellen should come. We can have a bipartisan conference with the Secretary of the Treasury, and she should present the numbers to us.
She has to show proof on her June 1st date and show us what is the issue.
Why is all of a sudden the whole default going to occur on June 1st, like she says?
Or is this all smoke and mirrors like we know it is?
steve bannon
Let's just see it. I want to pivot now to, first of all, let me ask about the World Health Organization.
Talk about others. There's many fights behind the scenes that people are not seeing yet.
We've got Michelle Bachman in Geneva.
We've got Noor Bin Laden. This whole World Health Organization, you're in the subcommittee.
Of the pandemic, you sent a letter yesterday that we highlighted, your chairman did, to Walensky CDC, preserve your documents.
And we've had Naomi Wolf and all these people up here about the vaccine and what happened to women and all that.
Where is that committee going?
And are you going to get to the fact of tying in the World Health Organization and now wants to put us in a treaty to take the sovereignty of the country away?
marjorie taylor greene
Right. No, our COVID subcommittee is very important.
We have been diligently working through with hearings, showing the proof that the science wasn't there for these lockdowns, that what they did to our children locking down the schools was completely the wrong thing to do.
steve bannon
Is that what the Preserve the Documents is, her conversations with the head of the teachers' union?
marjorie taylor greene
No, this is documents.
We want them on many different issues.
We want to know exactly who the decision makers were, who was making these decisions, these unbelievably unscientific decisions at the CDC. Who was calling the shots in there?
And that's why we're asking them to preserve their documents.
steve bannon
Talk to me about oversight.
Oversight, I think people have the Comer and you guys are doing a good job, but you've gone over and seen the SARS reports.
These SARS reports are from 2015.
unidentified
They're from earlier than that.
marjorie taylor greene
They're from...they go back...
steve bannon
Are we breaking some news here?
marjorie taylor greene
Oh, probably. I don't think we've even released the dates.
They go back before 2010.
These SARS reports have been there for years.
That's why when I walk out, I literally, like I am now, at a loss for words...
Steve, you sit there and go through stacks of paper, binder after binder after binder of reports from banks who are required.
Banks are required by law to produce these reports when they see suspicious activity, when they see potential illegal transactions, and they are required to produce these reports, and they've been sued.
Sitting there in the Treasury collecting dust along with Janet Yellen.
It's unbelievable.
steve bannon
They're actually in binders.
The banks did their job and sent Treasury, who's supposed to monitor this, sent them the suspicious activity reports from the extended Biden family.
marjorie taylor greene
They're in binders because these are the reports we asked for.
We asked for reports with certain names and LLCs.
Those are the ones they've given us.
There could be many more SARS reports in there that we don't even know about because we didn't ask for the names or we didn't ask about the specific LLCs.
There could be far more than there already is.
steve bannon
I hate to bring up an unpleasant topic, but you and then Congressman Nancy Mace have said in these reports as you've gone through them, the thickest file is in what you guys call human trafficking.
Yes. People's heads blow up when they see that.
As you and Congressman Mace have gone through and looked at these things that the bank sent to Treasury, the thickest file you go through is related to human trafficking.
marjorie taylor greene
What does that mean? Let me be clear.
It's not us labeling it human sex trafficking.
Those are the words used in the reports.
steve bannon
Hang on for a second. They have a summary report, and it says human sex trafficking in the report, in black letter.
marjorie taylor greene
It also says known prostitution rings.
Yeah, that's what it says in these reports, sitting in Treasury.
steve bannon
Are these domestic or international? These are both.
marjorie taylor greene
These are related to Hunter Biden and his law firm.
His law firm with transactions paying people who were Wells Fargo customers who were involved in a known prostitution ring in what appears to be alleged human sex trafficking.
I am quoting the report when I say that.
And these reports have been in there for a very long time.
This is the information that went public from the Hunter Biden laptop, but is backed up with actual SARS reports in the Treasury from banks that state it as a fact.
And then we have the bank statements to back it up.
steve bannon
Have you had a chance not to pose, but have you had a chance when you go to Treasury to talk to the Treasury officials in that group, in that vertical, and ask them why this has not come?
Did that go to the FBI? Did that go to the Justice Department?
Did other entities?
Because when a report's done that says human sex trafficking, aren't alarms supposed to go off inside?
We pay $5 trillion for this.
Aren't alarms supposed to go off?
marjorie taylor greene
Yeah, usually they go off.
I mean, they go off in most normal people's heads.
Everyone else doesn't like this.
And the media apparently doesn't like sexual things because they constantly attack President Trump about lies that are told about him.
Yeah, the bells go off, and I did ask them.
I said, why haven't these been handed over?
Why haven't these been investigated?
Why hasn't something been done with these?
And I basically got shoulder shrugs.
From the staff in there.
No one can explain why.
But we all know why.
And let me tell you what is really dangerous.
steve bannon
They have not been under oath.
This is just in your back and forth.
marjorie taylor greene
This is just in conversations.
steve bannon
You've asked Treasury officials that work there, why was this not pursued?
Why is this not being pursued?
And you just get a shrug, I don't know.
marjorie taylor greene
They don't know. I'm just assigned to be in here with you guys while you review these reports.
Let me tell you the danger.
Let me explain the danger.
These reports have names, addresses, phone numbers, passports, passport numbers, birthdates of the people involved in the transactions, of the people involved in the known prostitution ring, of their transactions.
These women, many of them are United States citizens, but there's quite a few of them that are not.
They are Russian and Ukrainian.
Russian and Ukrainian.
Now, we already know that Eric Swalwell had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy that created serious national security complications.
What we need to understand is, did Hunter Biden, by being so involved in drug use and not in control of himself, and having repeated, repeated, repeated pain for prostitutes from Russia and Ukraine, what kind of danger did he put America in?
What were these women exposed to?
What information were they able to learn?
What information were they able to gain?
What do they know and what do Russia and Ukraine know based on Hunter Biden paying for sex, being involved in human sex trafficking with women from Russia and Ukraine?
Were they spies? Who are they?
What are they? We deserve to know that.
steve bannon
Hang over a second. As much as the deep state and the administrative state turned on President Trump and had this phony impeachment with one stupid phone call, a perfect phone call, but Zelensky and these guys in the deep state realm took it totally out of context.
They actually have...
The international sex trafficking was from Ukrainian people and women and Russian.
marjorie taylor greene
More Russian than Ukraine.
steve bannon
More Russian than Ukraine. And DNI and CIA and FBI and DOJ are not all over this immediately because that's when his father was vice president of the United States.
marjorie taylor greene
Right. Well, the FBI is locking up people that walked in the Capitol almost two and a half years ago on January 6th.
You know, the MAGA grandmas that walked in the Capitol or people walked in with their American flags and put it on Facebook videos?
steve bannon
There's a thousand more they're going to roll up, right?
marjorie taylor greene
Yeah. That's Matthew Graves who I've introduced articles of impeachment on.
But it's Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland at the DOJ that are more obsessed with that.
That one single day in history than they have ever cared about investigating, charging, and prosecuting Hunter Biden, the son of the president, who we have all these records, all these records.
And Christopher Wray right now is protecting Joe Biden by refusing to hand over the FD1023 form that's not classified, ladies and gentlemen.
So we don't know what he's hiding by refusing to hand this over.
But he is actually actively protecting the President of the United States by refusing to hand that over.
The FBI and the DOJ have refused, have refused to charge and prosecute Hunter Biden For these crimes that have been laying there, obvious and known to everyone in these reports in the Treasury for years.
steve bannon
I was brought up by Rudy and Costello to look at the information on the Chinese companies in the laptop from hell.
And you can tell pretty quickly they've been compromised by the CCP, right?
And I've been sanctioned. I'm the only civilian in history that's been sanctioned by the CCP. Congratulations.
Good. I know this because I know this backwards and forwards.
And I used to always say you come for the compromise of the financial documents and you stay for the porn, right?
But you're saying something quite different.
Mm-hmm. You're saying that not only are they financially compromised by the documents from the CCP companies and the 10 million transfer, you're also saying there's compromise here on the actual sex part, too, because he was importing Russian and Ukrainian prostitutes that clearly have some sort of connection with their intelligence agency, their intelligence assets, or at least they're giving information to the intelligence, as you would think logically they would.
marjorie taylor greene
I'm saying this is what we need to know.
This is what we must know.
For the national security of the United States of America, these are the answers that we have to have.
America deserves these answers.
steve bannon
How can the apparatus, how can Ray not...
Once again, I want to go back.
There's no doubt in your mind and Comer's mind that the Oversight Committee has jurisdiction over this.
marjorie taylor greene
Oh, we're 100 % sure.
It's outlined in the Constitution.
The Oversight Committee, by our laws, the way Congress is set up, we have complete oversight over, over top of the FBI, the Department of Justice, everything, the Treasury Department.
That is what our job is.
steve bannon
How can they just shrug their shoulders or in a case you send a subpoena over to Ray, just say, eh, I'm not going to do it?
marjorie taylor greene
It's a coup. I'm telling you, it's like an active coup, Steve.
For people to deny that existing and happening today is pure, just pure idiocy.
This is what is happening.
This is why I'm done. Articles of impeachment.
Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, Matthew Graves, all of these people are running an operation that is outside the norms and outside our Constitution.
They are actively protecting Joe Biden.
They are actively protecting the regime for political reasons.
They have weaponized the FBI. They have weaponized the Department of Justice.
This is the coup that started when President Trump came into office in 2017.
It's the same people doing the same damn thing, and they're continuing it today.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
We'll return. We've got it for one more block.
Congressman MTG, we've got a lot to go through.
I want to talk to you about also the corporations.
The corporations are not on our side.
The most progressive Operations in the country of these corporations.
We're going to get to all that. Short commercial break.
Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia joins us next in the D-block of Hour One of the War Room.

Trump versus DeSantis on taxes.
In Congress, Ron DeSantis pushed a 23 % national sales tax, where the middle class pays more.
90 % of families would get a tax hike if DeSantis replaced the current system.
President Trump cut taxes.
A lot. Lowering tax rates for everyone.
Trump cut taxes.
DeSantis tried to raise them.
Ron DeSantis, wrong on tax hikes, just not ready.

marjorie taylor greene
Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, is going to announce that he's finally running for president, even though he's been running for president for months and months.
And the whole thing has been pretty much a joke.
Unfortunately, Ron DeSantis has been like that kid walking around the swimming pool, scared to jump in the water because he's afraid the water is too cold.
Well, let me go ahead and say the water is too cold for you, Governor DeSantis, unfortunately, because the polling shows that America wants President Trump back in the White House.
And here's what I really hate.
I think you've been played by a bunch of your consultants that just want to make money off of you running for president because they're the only ones that will benefit out of this.
You know, Governor DeSantis is a great governor for the state of Florida.
We need more strong Republicans.
steve bannon
He's done a very good job in Florida.
Tonight he's got the oligarch's ball.
He's got David Sachs and Elon Musk on Twitter for his announcement.
David Sachs, who was the guy that pushed the Silicon Valley Bank bailout for the high-tech guys, which he's won, to save himself money.
How's that going to sit with the populist nationals?
And Elon Musk, Mr.
Davos, World Economic Forum, transhumanist, Extraordinaire with Neuralink and also with artificial intelligence.
How's that going to sit with real voters in the populist nationalist Republican Party, ma'am?
marjorie taylor greene
That doesn't sit well at all.
That is not going to fly.
I'm going to tell you right now.
Who do you need to elect you to be president?
You need the American people.
You don't need the oligarchs.
That's not how elections work.
And I'll say something else, Steve.
God bless President Trump for traveling all over America I mean, I don't even know how many rallies he's done.
The numbers are off the charts, and he goes every single time to the people, Steve.
He goes directly to the people.
He stands on a stage, whether it's cold, whether it's hot, whether it's windy, whether it's raining.
No matter the weather, President Trump is out there directly talking To the American people right in front of them in person.
And they come out by the thousands and tens of thousands.
And he has been doing this for years.
You don't announce that you're running for president of the United States.
In some kind of little Twitter world.
It's not a real world.
Twitter is not real. So I can't comprehend why that would be the place to do the announcement.
It makes no sense to me.
And it's not serious.
steve bannon
It's not serious. This is why it shows you he's dropped his people's weight and measured him.
Okay, we've got a couple other things to get to.
Once again, we're going to go to Geneva right after you.
I want your thoughts on the World Health Organization, World Health Assembly, all the stuff that's going on.
What's MTG's take?
marjorie taylor greene
The U.S. needs to just completely stop giving money to the World Health Organization.
I don't know why we do it.
I don't know why we listen to these people.
steve bannon
Why do we participate? By the way, Michelle Bachman says they're all sitting there thinking Uncle Sugar's going to underwrite the whole thing.
She says all the delegates are sitting there thinking the U.S. is going to underwrite this entire new World Health Organization treaty, this pandemic treaty.
They're going to get money everywhere.
marjorie taylor greene
Well, first off, God bless Michelle Bachman for being over there and being able to bring the information back home for everyone.
God bless her for doing that. We thank her.
That is such a service to all of us so she can do that.
But I'm going to tell you right now, the movement here in America needs to be America First.
We need to tell the WHO just to, you know what, you guys can go do whatever you want.
We are not participating.
You are not running our healthcare.
You are not telling us what we can do and what we can't do with our bodies.
We don't need your advice.
We need to bring critical supply, medication, and production here in the United States of America.
We need to get rid of the middlemen involved in pharmacies that jack up all the drug prices.
We need doctors to be able to be business owners and to be able to provide direct care and medications to their patients.
And we need to keep the globalists out of our medicine.
We want them out.
And that's where I stand on it.
America first all the way, Steve.
I can't see it any other way.
steve bannon
Bud Light has been broken by the war room posse, and of course the conservative movement is set up with it.
The Ford Motor Company was going to take out AM radios to break things, and now John Frederick is going to join us tomorrow to talk about that.
We had the thing with Ford. They've now reversed that.
Talk to me about these questions.
I understand you have restrictions as a member of Congress, but you're also a mom, right?
You just went to your daughter's college graduation.
You're a mom, and you're a patriot, and you represent the folks down there in Georgia.
Give me a minute on these corporations.
They're upping your grill on this stuff.
marjorie taylor greene
I tell you what, America showed all these big corporations what can happen when you cross the line.
And when you cross the line, pushing the trans agenda on children, when you groom children, you walk into that world, you are going to feel it in everything that happens to you.
Your money, How much product people refuse to buy?
Bud Light found out and they should be the example.
Target is finding out right now when you bring a Satanist in and you're wanting to push tuck it and bind it type clothing on children and the radical side of pride that no mom and dad wants to purchase and wants to have force down their children's throats.
America's fed up. I'm not allowed to launch a boycott against any corporation, but I can tell you right now, boycott every single groomer.
I support it completely and show these corporations.
And I'll tell you something else. Who needs the name brands?
We don't need name brands.
Buy generic. They're cheaper anyways.
Buy generic and let the name brands just totally fall apart in bankruptcy because we're done with it.
