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. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||
| War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| It's Thursday, October 10th in the year of our Lord 2024. | ||
| It's Natalie G. Winters hosting coming at you live from Washington, D.C. I would say it's quite a day for the War Room audience. | ||
| I'm sure by now you've either heard about or hopefully read the new Vanity Fair piece. | ||
| that just dropped highlighting the work, the life, the legacy of none other than | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon, the rightful owner of this chair. | ||
| But I wanted to walk through my take on this article. | ||
| We will be joined later in the show by Mike Benz and Darren Beattie to go through that | ||
| and so much more. | ||
| But I think it's very important to internalize this piece to really, really understand the | ||
| gravity of the words that were just printed on the Vanity Fair website. | ||
| With the initial caveat of, I don't need to be told by anyone in the mainstream media, | ||
| in the globalist ruling class, that what we have been pushing on this show since its inception | ||
| is right. | ||
| you just like I don't need them to affirm the lab leak theory, | ||
| or for many of that, from that we've been right on the COVID vaccines. We know | ||
| we've been right. But I'm willing to now have this discussion with the Vanity Fair, the mainstream | ||
| journalist types of the world, because I think the interesting and frankly, the most | ||
| interesting tell in this article, is that the darkest part of it is that it's actually a | ||
| stunning admission on the part of the globalists, the part, not just the Democrats, but | ||
| the Democrats, the unit party, their establishment Republican wing, that they know that we've | ||
| been right about a myriad of issues. And you know, we focus on the importance of timing | ||
| on this show. So I think the real question is why are they trying to reframe this discussion | ||
| in some ways, engage what I would almost call a sort of limited hangout style approach to the | ||
| issue of the way that America sits on the world stage, the way that we should look at our | ||
| relationship with our government, with our elected leaders, the ruling class, how we fit into | ||
| the globalist super super super structure that they're trying to impose on us right now. | ||
| And why now? | ||
| It's because they know they're losing the battle. | ||
| Right? And I think it's quite reductive to just view this Vanity Fair article as merely a victory lap for the War Room because they said some nice things about us and they said some nice things about you guys, the audience, though they're very well deserved. | ||
| I don't know about you guys. | ||
| I think we've been around the block a few times to know that Vanity Fair probably isn't just throwing a bone our way because they've suddenly become converts to what the War Room preaches. | ||
| Right? And there's a really interesting quote, I would argue it's the buried lead of the article, that I want to read from a gal by the name of Heather Conley, who heads the German Marshall Fund, one of these pro-Ukraine war, pro-NATO, Atlanticist think tanks here in Washington, D.C. Quote, I think what we've done a poor job of is we have lost the American people in this conversation. | ||
| Our bargain was that we said, we got this, the Washington elites and foreign policy specialists. | ||
| And for the last 20 years, it hasn't felt like we've gotten it right. | ||
| We failed. | ||
| We failed. And so now we have to have a very new conversation with the American people to describe what's at stake, what it's going to cost, and what happens if we are not successful. | ||
| Similar, albeit slightly different, refrain from Ben Rhodes, Obama's deputy NETSEC advisor and kind of foreign policy liaison, saying, Now that's quite interesting framing. | ||
| And honestly, the whole piece, I think, is kind of rich. | ||
| Because you know what words are missing from the entirety of the multiple thousand words that are in the entirety of the Vanity Fair article? | ||
| Words like racist, sexist, xenophobic, saying we spread misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories, right? | ||
| All the ways that they have tried to shut down a substantive discussion on populism, the ad hominem attacks that we have become so accustomed to, They're nowhere to be seen in this article. | ||
| Right? They're nowhere to be seen. | ||
| They make it seem like we agree on most things. | ||
| There's just, you know, slight differences in maybe the way that we think the United States should operate as the global policeman. | ||
| Well, you guys aren't going to get away with it because we see through the lie. | ||
| And the lie is that you sit up there and you say President Trump is the threat to democracy. | ||
| But what's so telling about this piece Is that the democracy that you're cramming down our throats is nothing more than a rigged system to benefit the German martial funds of the world, to benefit the Obama admin types of the world. | ||
| And the interesting tell in this piece, too, is the way that they describe Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The single person who has done the most to throw these big systemic questions into the maelstrom of Western public debate. | ||
| In other words, it was Stephen K. Bannon who had the nerve to open up what I'm sure the ruling class would call the Pandora's box of populism. | ||
| But here in the war room, we call it putting America first. | ||
| But you think it's just random happenstance that the man who has put forth that conversation, that believe me, my Washington, D.C. elites who are just a stone's throw away from me right now, wish that we weren't having. | ||
| It's just a coincidence that he ended up in federal prison? | ||
| No, no. It's meant to be a warning sign against people who dare to speak out like that. | ||
| In the same way that they're not coming for President Trump, they're coming for you. | ||
| And I think perhaps my favorite quote of the entire piece is about this audience. | ||
| Bannon's War Room show is a cross between a daily troop muster and a policy training school, which he uses to tutor millions of peasants, as he likes to phrase his target demographic. | ||
| Now, I would humbly put forth that I think Grundoon is probably a better way. | ||
| I think that's what Steve usually uses. | ||
| But here's why this comparison is so interesting. | ||
| And when you really abstract as to what this piece is about... | ||
| It gets to something that you guys know my roots are in Chinese Communist Party investigative reporting. | ||
| But the Hundred Flowers campaign, for those of you who aren't familiar, it was in the late 1950s and it was when Mao Zedong essentially invited criticism of the Chinese Communist Party with the sole purpose of being able to identify his largest opponents and his detractors. | ||
| Right? Let a hundred flowers bloom. | ||
| And then you know what happens. | ||
| Looks eerily similar, I would say, to what they're doing to January 6th participants. | ||
| But here's the thing. | ||
| And here's why they're putting this piece out. | ||
| Because the Hundred Flowers movement, the letting the flowers bloom, the after part of that, the plan didn't work. | ||
| It was to shut down this show. | ||
| It was to shut down the show because they threw Stephen K. Bannon in prison. | ||
| But in reality... | ||
| They didn't just create a hundred flowers. | ||
| They created an audience of what they call a million peasants. | ||
| I call them patriots. | ||
| But that's why they're melting down. | ||
| Because we forced the conversation... | ||
| Of the fundamental imbalance and prioritization of a globalist economic ruling class over the needs of American citizens. | ||
| And there's another interesting part in the piece where the journalist says he goes to a defense industry forum where all of the military industrial complex giants are meeting there. | ||
| And he's baffled why none of them are even having the false pretense of wanting to try to de-escalate The Ukraine war was actually in Bob Woodward's new book. | ||
| The threat of nuclear war hit 50%. | ||
| And despite that, Joe Biden still wanted to give Ukraine more weapons. | ||
| It originally started on the first day of his term at 5%. | ||
| And here's the interesting part. | ||
| The journalist says that the Ukraine war, quote, economic statecraft with the power to inflict damage that rivals military might. | ||
| It was a new approach to warfare. | ||
| Using the economy. | ||
| Using the financial system that you, American patriots, American citizens, have underwritten for decades. | ||
| The same system where the dirty little secret is that it's underwritten by the blood of American boys and girls who have to die on the borders of foreign countries to defend it. | ||
| And if you speak out about it, you get accused of spreading misinformation or disinformation. | ||
| And maybe that's why this whole flood response is so jarring. | ||
| And you can keep calling it disinformation, Deanne Criswell and all of the MSNBC chorus. | ||
| But maybe you should ask yourself why this disinformation resonates with the American people so much. | ||
| Maybe because it's confirmation bias of what we know to be true, which is that you guys literally have given more aid. | ||
| I know you probably thought I was going to say Ukraine, Israel, or Taiwan, but no, to the Taliban. | ||
| Yeah, $80 billion of weapons? | ||
| You guys have allocated more resources to ensure that non-citizens can vote. | ||
| And then the money that gets pumped into the system that they launder off of your taxes that ends up in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party, the best part of that whole trade is that it comes back into the United States to line the pocketbooks of people like Tim Walz and Hunter Biden and other establishment politicians, right? That's the gimmick. | ||
| That's the trade. That's the international rules based order that they want us to defend, that they want your children to go die and give their lives for. | ||
| Oh, but if you say that America should have strong borders or a national identity, boy, you're crazy. | ||
| You're a conspiracy theorist. | ||
| Right? They're not coming for Trump. | ||
| They're coming for you. | ||
| And that's what this all gets to. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's play the clip of Tim Miller real quick on MSNBC. Well, you can't rebuild the Republican Party if Donald Trump is the president. | |
| And so in order to have any hope for building the Republican Party, the first obligation is to elect Kamala Harris. | ||
| And that might not be uncomfortable for some people, but that's just the reality. | ||
| And I'm hoping that Senator Romney gets there. | ||
| You have to destroy the Republican Party. | ||
| You have to get rid of Trump. | ||
| You have to get Trump because he is the blunt force instrument that fundamentally changed | ||
| the political dichotomy between Republicans and Democrats that we've suffered through | ||
| for years and actually made us realize that that whole rigged system, whether you want | ||
| to look at it through the lens of Kevin McCarthy versus Matt Gaetz, Hillary Clinton versus | ||
| Trump, the populist movement versus the establishment wing of the Republican Party. | ||
| He gave you guys a seat at the table. | ||
| He forced the issue. | ||
| Right? When Kamala Harris sits there on that call her daddy interview, and she jokes, well, I can't think of a single law that has given the government control over men's bodies. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| The entire financial system and world order that you prop up has deprived not just men, men and women, of individual autonomy, the ability to choose to not buy in to a globalist regime and a globalist world order that has deprived them not just of their funds, sending taxpayer dollars to every single corner of this universe except their own, including hurricane-ravaged towns, But it's deprived them of their American citizenship, cheapening it to the point where they're handing it out through a cheap app that developers made, | ||
| ramming people into this country, making your value of being an American citizen, a legacy American, as Steve calls it, absolutely nothing. | ||
| So I would say to Kamala Harris... | ||
| To Democrats more broadly, it's my body, my choice, and we're not submitting to this globalist world order anymore. | ||
| We never consented to it. | ||
| And we're not taking, you're a little late to the game, Vanity Fair, Ben Rhodes and all these globalist groups. | ||
| We've been right. We know it. | ||
| We don't need you. We'll be right back We're good to go. | ||

| War Room. | ||
| Here's your host Stephen K. Bamm Welcome back to the war room | ||
| I guess I'm getting used to ranting in those A-blocks, I will say. | ||
| I am very much looking forward to when Stephen K. Bannon is back to that first opening rant. | ||
| Something tells me it'll be on Friday. | ||
| Fire! We are joined now by the one and only Dr. | ||
| Darren J. Beatty. | ||
| We have so much to get to, but I wanted to get the latest on the Inspector General's January 6th report, which I maintain there's information in there that they wanted to have released. | ||
| You would think they'd be working to make sure that that was their October surprise, but it seems like they're working to delay the release of it until probably well after the election. | ||
| Can you walk us through the latest on the timeline with that document? | ||
| Absolutely. Great, as always, to be with you, Natalie. | ||
| Now, what's going on here, the big picture, there is a cat and mouse game going because we're at the end stages of disclosure as far as major elements of the Fed's direction story, including most significantly the pipe bomb story, which is very possible that this will blow up before the election happens. | ||
| I'd give it maybe a 35 to 50% chance of that happening. | ||
| The larger context is there's massive damage control going on, not just for the pipe bomb, which is the most salient and worrisome from the standpoint of the regime, but for all elements of January 6, including the number of informants. | ||
| Now, War Room viewers, War Room audiences, unusually informed, and so probably knows this | ||
| from my earlier appearances and reading Revolver and watching War Room, but the general public may not know, | ||
| but there was a similar type of fight going on with an inspector general's report from the DHS, | ||
| the DHS which houses the Secret Service. | ||
| They had a bombshell report that open borders disgrace, Mayorkas vigorously suppressed. | ||
| It ended up leaking at the last minute and confirmed absolute malfeasance to the point of cover-up on the part of the Secret Service for the pipe bomb. | ||
| It confirmed that they had two canine units that miraculously missed the pipe bombs. | ||
| It confirmed The Kamala Harris was no further than 20 feet away from the pipe bomb, something she still won't really acknowledge today. | ||
| All of that's confirmed. And so now we have an analogous report, not out of the DHS, but this time out of the DOJ. And in this remarkable exchange, as you can see if you go to revolver.news and read our piece on it, In exchange between Massey and Horowitz, who is the Inspector General, Massey asked, hey, when are we going to get to see this report? | ||
| Because we know that it includes information on the number of confidential human sources. | ||
| Involved in January 6. | ||
| Now, this harkens back to an exchange between Amy Klobuchar and Christopher Wray. | ||
| Klobuchar basically asks Wray, say, aren't you kicking yourselves that we didn't have any informants in January 6? | ||
| And Christopher Wray plays along. | ||
| He says, you'd be darn tootin'. | ||
| I wish we did have them. | ||
| Well, since we've learned that the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and all these groups were absolutely replete with informants all the way to the top level, And this IG report, I hear, is even more damning than that. | ||
| Once it comes out, it will be absolutely overwhelming as to the degree of federal informant involvement in January 6th. | ||
| And they're working very hard to make sure that this report doesn't come out before the election. | ||
| At this stage, there's so much momentum in relation to the January 6th Fedsurrection scam that The pipe bomb, I'm absolutely convinced, is going to come out. | ||
| It's just a question of, is it going to come out before the election when it actually makes a difference? | ||
| Or is it going to come out after the election? | ||
| God forbid, if Kamala wins, nothing's going to happen from it. | ||
| So there's this real intense cat-and-mouse game going on with these end-stage January 6th Fed's erection disclosures in relation to informants and in relation to the pipe bomb. | ||
| I'm just curious your thoughts sort of springboarding off of my opening. | ||
| There was a buried lead in an Axios piece this morning in talking about the sort of post-hurricane voting apparatus. | ||
| The Harris regime, which has I don't think ever found a foreign country that they didn't want to plow billions of dollars in, or frankly a foreign country that they want to import people into the United States from, well, they were able to find a measly what? | ||
| $30,000! Wow! | ||
| $30,000 for election administration in the entire state of North Carolina post-hurricane. | ||
| It's ridiculous. Your thoughts on that number, how you think just more broadly the election stuff is sort of rolling out? | ||
| Well, you know, the tragic events surrounding Hurricane Helene and its aftermath and the government response really fits into a broader theme of complete government neglect. | ||
| In fact, it's worse than neglect. | ||
| It's hostility. | ||
| It's active hostility that manifests as neglect of American citizens. | ||
| And if it would be one thing if the government simply didn't do anything for its people, | ||
| that would be bad enough. | ||
| But you see the government doing nothing for its own citizens who are in need. | ||
| And you juxtapose that with the fact that in the case of FEMA, for instance, FEMA had | ||
| given all of its money to DEI programs, to illegal aliens, to basically everything but | ||
| the American citizens who actually need and deserve help. | ||
| You see similar instance with the response here generally in North Carolina and these | ||
| You even have reports of the government preventing private citizens from stepping in and helping. | ||
| You have, of course, the Haitian problem that was underscored not too long ago. | ||
| You see the government, the regime, putting American citizens absolutely last. | ||
| There's no conceivable way that this is consistent with a social contract between the ruled and the rulers. | ||
| It is completely broken down to the point that there's no legitimacy behind the system whatsoever. | ||
| The only way to restore a semblance of legitimacy And maybe get back on a path toward having a real country, as if Trump is elected in November. | ||
| And make no mistake, you know, the polls are looking good, things are looking strong, but it's going to be very close. | ||
| It could go either way. | ||
| And if it goes in the other direction, it's not that Kamala is a force of nature, a force of personality, a great leader that takes a great leader to push things in the wrong direction, too. | ||
| She is not that But what she is, is she will represent the momentum and the inertia that already exists within our culture and our institutions. | ||
| And that momentum and that inertia is going further, further, further down to the very bottom rings of the trash barrel. | ||
| And that's where we are and that's where we'll be as a country unless we shape up very, very soon. | ||
| Well, I would much prefer to throw her into the trash bin of history. | ||
| Darren Beattie, if people want to help us out in doing that, I know they can always read Revolver News to stay ahead of the curve. | ||
| Where can they go to follow you and get the latest? | ||
| Revolver.News, check out this Inspector General piece. | ||
| Very important. Follow this endgame chess game we're having with the regime about disclosure on January 6th. | ||
| It's down to the wire whether we get the truth out before the election happens when it actually really matters. | ||
| So, you know, send us your well wishes there. | ||
| Get informed. Spread the word. | ||
| Revolver.News. I'm on X at Darren J. Beattie. | ||
| Darren, thank you so much for joining us. | ||

We'll have you back on. Thank you. | |
| We are joined now, it's atypical, but we'd love to have him, by Mike Lindell. | ||
| Mike, hit us with the latest in all things pillow, please. | ||
| Well, first I want to tell everybody that I'm headed to Florida, and today, for every order from the War Room Posse, we're going to donate another pillow to the hurricane victims. | ||
| We've donated tens of thousands. | ||
| These are the With God All Things Are Possible pillows. | ||
| We're gonna add to that. | ||
| We did it last week and the war room posse came through. | ||
| So we're gonna add that for today. | ||
| For every one of your orders, no matter how big or small, we will add a pillow on it for the hurricane victims. | ||
| Also, before I tell that, Natalie, I want to tell everybody, If you can, guys, go to all the social media platforms and you've got to share the stuff that's out there, all the news to get people engaged and to get people out, getting other people to vote. | ||
| And you can go to any one of my social media platforms and we're posting stuff that you can repost that's going to get people engaged to vote and vote for the right person. | ||
| We all know who that is. But I want to get the specials up right now early because I'm going to be leaving here for Florida. | ||
| So the War Room Posse, these classic pillows that we've had on sale now has made it possible, this big wholesale sale. | ||
| We hired over 50 employees this week, 50 new employees. | ||

| Welcome back to The War Room where we certainly love our buried leads. | ||
| Real quick, there was a funny story in the New York Times today. | ||
| It was an op-ed by actually one of my old professors, believe it or not, at the University of Chicago, Robert Pape. | ||
| There was certainly a buried lead in there. | ||
| Just imagine if his findings had skewed the other way, but it's sort of, shall we call it a narrative collapse when it comes to all things January 6th and defending democracy. | ||
| More respondents in their polling on the Democratic side of the ticket essentially believed that violence was justified to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president again than people who thought that there was support to basically ensure that President Trump would become president again. | ||
| Now just imagine if those numbers were flipped and there was more support for essentially engaging in an actual coup, a violent coup, to make sure that President Trump became just that, President Trump. | ||
| I'm sure MSNBC would be in full-blown panic mode, melting down 24-7. | ||
| But since it's the other way around, you'll probably never hear about it unless you listen to The War Room. | ||
| And unless you listen to The War Room, you may also not get what is certainly, shall we say, some interesting conspiracies, not coincidences, when it comes to the Afghan national... | ||
| We'll call him Joe Biden's Special Immigrant Visa Recipient. | ||
| I pronounce the name, but it's a little difficult. | ||
| His interesting ties. | ||
| The only man who I think could break it down is the one and only Mike Benz, who joins us now. | ||
| Mike, if you can sort of walk us through the suspicious circumstances, that might be a euphemism, of this whole case. | ||
| Natalie, this is everything that we've been talking about for several weeks since the Ryan Routh shooting. | ||
| This is a situation where you have an ISIS terrorist fighter. | ||
| Again, ISIS was a group that was effectively created by the CIA in the 1970s as a terrorist | ||
| battering ram against the Soviet Union back when it was called the Mujahideen and then | ||
| it became Al Qaeda with the spinoffs of ISIS. | ||
| Today it is ISIS who is attacking the enemies of the U.S. | ||
| State Department in Syria, who is carrying out terrorist bombing attacks in Moscow, like | ||
| the one that killed 130 people recently and is also attacking America's enemies all over, | ||
| the Sahel in Africa. | ||
| So you have a situation where this CIA army exists in Afghanistan and is run through banks | ||
| in Pakistan. | ||
| And just one month ago, the President of the United States and the guy now leading in the | ||
| polls to be President again, if he had proceeded just a few more holes of golf, he would have | ||
| had his head blown off by a guy who was running a special visa scam. | ||
| recruiting Afghan special forces and trying to get them special visas. | ||
| And this is the exact guy who was waiting at the Whole nine or whatever it was, in order to blow Trump's head off. | ||
| So we have a recurring pattern of CIA-born paramilitary groups operating internationally, coming home, and trying to kill Trump. | ||
| Now, what's strange about this, if you recall, just about a week ago, the Justice Department announced a so-called indefinite delay to the prosecution of Ryan Routh. | ||
| And when that happened, I immediately said, That this is the same problem that I predicted the Justice Department would have, which is that Ryan Routh was effectively doing military intelligence work, recruiting terrorist extremists from Afghanistan and trying to get them special visas. | ||
| That is the trifecta. | ||
| It is a DOD operation because you're recruiting for the military. | ||
| It's a CIA operation because you're doing it with plausible deniability. | ||
| And it's a State Department operation because it involves getting no-look fast-pass visas through the U.S. Embassy. | ||
| So it hits the perfect hat trick of government operations, but run through 12 levels of plausible deniability all the way down to some subcontractor of a subcontractor so that the U.S. government can formally wash its hands of it. | ||
| And the Justice Department announced that they are indefinitely delaying the prosecution, And I suspect the reason is because Ryan Routh was running through these same type of networks as this Afghan CIA ISIS guy, running the exact same scam, the special visa scam. | ||
| And it's also worth remembering that no less than DHS itself, the head of DHS, Mayorkas, in 2015, everyone can look this up in the New York Times, Look up Visa Scandal Mayorkas 2015, where it was DHS, then Deputy Secretary of DHS, Mayorkas, who got in a lot of trouble with the Inspector General for doing these fast-pass, no-look visas to people who do not belong in the country. | ||
| There's a lot here, but maybe I'll pause there. | ||
| I'm just curious, since we actually have a little bit of time today, say President Trump wins when he wins. | ||
| I know, we still gotta slug it out. | ||
| I think we've been focused so much on these assassination attempts just getting him to Election Day. | ||
| But if he does become President Trump again, rightfully so, How do you begin to disentangle this apparatus that apparently Vanity Fair is now skeptical of, but to make sure that these attacks stop happening against him? | ||
| Because otherwise, I think we can see the writing on the wall. | ||
| Well, I thought the Vanity Fair piece was more like a love letter. | ||
| I mean, it was, there was a constant tension between the editors who clearly wanted to | ||
| make it look like Bannon was rallying an army and the actual writer who seemed to be actually | ||
| quite impressed by the whole thing. | ||
| But I think the main issue is they're normalizing the assassination of Trump. | ||
| I mean, everyone forgot about the second assassination attempt in the mainstream media. | ||
| Within a week and a half of it happening, and the first mainstream media attempt, they tried to control the initial response to it by saying that, you know, he had slipped and fell, there was an incident rather than a shooting, and then a talking points memo went out to all the local news stations to not show the picture of Trump getting shot because it would glorify him. | ||
| And so I think what we will continue to see as Trump continues to do well in the polls and If he happens to win on Election Day, is the same sort of thing they were rolling out in 2016, which was a deluge of symbology around killing Trump that makes it sort of normal and cool. | ||
| You know, like the Snoop Dogg music video of him shooting Trump. | ||
| Or like, who was it? | ||
| Is it the woman from The View who held up a decapitated, you know, head of Trump? | ||
| Kathy Griffin. | ||
| Kathy Griffin. | ||
| Oh, yeah, that's right. | ||
| It wasn't The View. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And so I think you're probably going to see things similar to that that will essentially | ||
| make it seem like a movie people had already seen in their heads. | ||
| So they're not particularly shocked by it. | ||
| And almost like he had it coming when it does happen. | ||
| I think that's going to be their strategy. | ||

Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| I think it's quite interesting, too. | ||
| They've sort of reamped, replaced the whole Kavanaugh situation into the news cycle right now. | ||
| Six years later, conveniently right before Election Day, saying that it was Trump who weaponized the FBI, preventing an actual investigation into that whole case. | ||
| Because if you look back, right, six years ago, they were just okay with character assassination of a man like Brett Kavanaugh. | ||
| on now. It's escalated so much that they're basically astroturfing assassination attempts, | ||
| and then they have the nerve to sit up there, people like Mayorkas, when they're not busy | ||
| shopping for luxury clothing or, you know, eating at Nobu while the country's burning | ||
| and Americans are dying from hurricanes and floods, to actually accuse us of spreading | ||
| hate speech and deplorable speech. Denver, let's roll that clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you concerned that individuals involved in the recovery effort are being threatened | |
| online? | ||
| We most certainly are. | ||
| We are seeing horrific hate speech of all types propagated on online platforms. | ||
| That deplorable speech has an impact on people's lives, and it is also a motivating force for people to do harm. | ||
| And it has got to stop. | ||
| And it is our work in the Department of Homeland Security to combat hate in all its forms. | ||
| We will continue that work. | ||
| Well, if they want to combat hate, maybe they should start with the hatred that they have for this country because it's on full display right now. | ||
| Mike, can you walk us through the sort of double speak going on there? | ||
| Yeah, first I want to say, on behalf of bald men everywhere, we are not all like that. | ||
| Mayorkas has an almost identical phenotype to the Demorias Supreme Court judge, the censorship tyrant in Brazil, and Lord Voldemort. | ||
| And in case I end up morphing that way, listen, it's not personal. | ||
| But basically, you have this situation at DHS where they've been working on this for a very long time. | ||
| In 2017... | ||
| It's important to understand that crisis response is a huge predicate for intelligence and military operations. | ||
| Whenever there is a natural disaster and there's a hurricane or an earthquake, | ||
| in go rushing the National Guard and the military and the public health response and the humanitarian aid. | ||
| And that is used around the world by the US military and US intelligence | ||
| as a means to shoehorn in all of the wish list items that they wanted to do, | ||
| but were not able to do under normal circumstances. | ||
| That is, they can establish a military footprint because they are the security for humanitarian aid. | ||
| They can use that humanitarian aid to run food and weapons and arms and ammunition | ||
| to the groups they ordinarily would not be able to access because they're under cloak of humanitarian crisis response. | ||
| And so I've watched for seven years now this process of trying to control crisis response | ||
| and this so-called rumor control that FEMA has set up. | ||
| Now, this rumor control was first created in the US government in 2020 under CISA, also at DHS. | ||
| Both CISA and FEMA are at DHS. | ||
| And FEMA has just copied what Chris Krebs set up to censor the 2020 election. | ||
| The very first US government rumor control org was set up to censor rumors about mail-in ballots in 2020 | ||
| when... | ||
| The Chris Krebs CISA censorship operation was trying to scan effectively every tweet on Twitter, every YouTube video, every Facebook video, every Facebook post, every Reddit post, in order to scan and ban at scale anyone who thought it might look fishy if Trump wins on Election Day and then loses because of millions of magic midnight ballots that sail in after 3am. | ||
| And so FEMA is copying the CISA playbook here. | ||
| And you can bet, by the way, that they're already doing this around the world. | ||
| I mean, this is what we did with Haiti. | ||
| This is what we did in India. | ||
| This is what we did all over sub-Saharan Africa. | ||
| This is what we do all over the Caribbean and Latin America. | ||
| And they're establishing infrastructure. | ||
| And that infrastructure has been established for several years because we want to control what people are saying on social media in response to it. | ||
| And now it's come fully home so that even when our own country gets hit with natural disasters, where I'm assuming is a natural disaster, then they have the ability to control the narrative, both in order to artificially preserve trust in government, but also with the upside of protecting the legitimacy and political respect of the current reigning regime. | ||
| Mike, if you can hang with us through the break, there's always more that I want to get to with you. | ||
| But you're so right to bring up CISA and their rumor control website. | ||
| I remember when they rolled that out ahead of the 2020 election, I was like, this is some next-level Maoist cultural appropriation. | ||
| But I think it's also interesting, like we noted earlier in the show, Kamala Harris has found a paltry, what, $30,000 to give to all of North Carolina to help administer elections post-hurricane. | ||
| And do you know who they're partnering with to do it? | ||
| You guessed it. | ||
| All roads always lead to CISA. I guess that's the deep state in action. | ||

We'll be right back after this short break with Mike Benz. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Welcome back to The War Room. | ||
| We still got a few minutes left with Mike Benz. | ||
| Mike, I just wanted to give you a chance to wrap up where you sort of left your conversation off this morning, reacting to this Vanity Fair piece, with I think the buried lead being all the alternative forms of warfare that they've been waging against the American people, whether it's information warfare, economic warfare. This sort of is an open and outright admission that that's what they're doing in order to advance their conception of what they think government should look like in this country. | ||
| Yeah, I had a little bit of audio there. | ||
| I think they had you muted for a second, so I only caught the second part of it. | ||
| Give us your thoughts on the Vanity Fair piece. | ||
| We'll keep it tight. Oh, great. | ||
| Yes. I mean, I thought it was epic. | ||
| I mean, they basically said the quiet part, not just out loud, but they got a bullhorn. | ||
| They rented a sound system. | ||
| They constructed one of those Vegas domes. | ||
| They hired Bono, and they did a whole rock concert with the thing that they used to not say out loud. | ||
| There was a direct quote where they said that populism is the natural response to the excesses of the elites going unchecked, and it is the revenge of the voters going against that secular consensus. | ||
| Most people think that's the way Simple democracy works, but not in the United States. | ||
| I mean, that says it all right there. | ||
| I mean, I almost felt like Steve, you know, paid the writer from prison to write that out. | ||
| I mean, that's now forever and eternity in Vanity Fair. | ||
| It's quite the article. | ||
| Mike Benz, if people want to follow you, stay up to date, join all the office hours, X streams that you've got going on, where can they go to do that? | ||
| You can follow me. Best place on X is at Mike Benz Cyber. | ||
| You can follow me there, and I do weekly subscriber lectures. | ||
| I'm doing one tonight on Arizona State University and the disinformation complex, and it's going to be fire. | ||
| But thanks, Natalie. Talk to you soon. | ||
| I hope you spread some hate speech and deplorable speech. | ||
|

|
Can't help it. Talk to you soon. | |
| Mike Benz, thank you for joining us. | ||
| We'll have you back on. And War Room Posse. | ||
| You guys know Steve is very humble, and I just think that we all owe him. | ||
| I know everyone knows this in this audience, but debts of gratitude that I don't even think can be articulated, let alone on an hour show, let alone in the last five minutes of this show. | ||
| Think about what he has sacrificed, and I think it's most fitting right now as he's sitting in prison, and we're—I guess you guys are stuck listening to me— But for a man who has served this country, both literally, but also served this audience, the class of people who are so sick and tired of their fake selection of candidates being between people like, you know, John McCain and Obama or Clintons or the Romneys of the world, yet all the people who suddenly now have come out and essentially endorsed Kamala Harris or the hundreds of national security officials and Who have endorsed terrorists. | ||
| Sort of proving that they're all in on it. | ||
| And that it's all sort of one big cabal that's here to suppress you of your rights. | ||
| Well, let's be very clear. | ||
| On the heels of this Vanity Fair piece. | ||
| Because don't get me wrong. It is a victory for us. | ||
| Though I don't need Vanity Fair telling me that I'm right. | ||
| I know that. She is so right after all. | ||
| But let's be very clear. | ||
| Ben Rhodes. That whole ilk of people. | ||
| Victory, we're going to set the terms and conditions of what that looks like. | ||
| And it's going to start with a Trump victory on November 5th. | ||
| Which you guys are going to help make sure it happens. | ||
| That's the least we can do for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| But it's also going to look like And let's get very granular. | ||
| If you want a definition of what justice or retribution looks like, it's going to look like Stephen K. Bannon sitting in this chair providing live commentary during the trials and eventual prison sentences of people like Victoria Nuland, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and that entire D.C. swamp class, who I know you guys are listening to this show. | ||
| We'll throw Jack Smith in there, too, for good measure. | ||
| But it'll be Steve providing live commentary on you guys going to prison. | ||
| Opening bid? | ||
| Treason? I'm sure we'll find a lot more. | ||
| But that's what retribution and justice is going to look like. | ||
| And that's... | ||
| We're not going to settle for less. | ||
| We're not going to settle for feel-good articles from Vanity Fair... | ||
| Telling us that we've been right. | ||
| Yeah, I know that. | ||
| The issue is that you guys have been lying and your lies have cost thousands, if not millions, of American lives. | ||
| Some of the most patriotic, red-blooded Americans who've been shipped overseas to die defending the borders of countries that our brilliant leaders probably couldn't even point out on a map. | ||
| And then you know how they repay you? | ||
| In true nation-building form, they import people from those backwards countries into the United States, into your communities. | ||
| And if you even pipe up a bit about how they're stealing your government services, or maybe they're non-citizens who are registered to vote, they're going to set up a government website called Rumor Control and say that you're spreading rumors in your own country. | ||
| Because the fundamental tell in that Vanity Fair piece... | ||
| Is it those people, those ruling class traitors who deserve to be sitting in prison, not like Christopher Steele, who's busy out on his new book tour? | ||
| Those people hate you. | ||
| And for too long, they've gotten away with it. | ||
| And it was people like Stephen K. Bannon and the Trump movement more broadly who said, no, no, no. | ||
| That's not happening any longer. | ||
| And that's why they hate President Trump. | ||
| It's why they hate the MAGA movement and it's why you see Tim Miller on MSNBC saying they have to have Trump lose so they can destroy the Republican Party so they can rebuild it. | ||
| You'll own nothing and you'll be happy. | ||
| Yet you'll have no say in the Republican Party and you'll be absolutely miserable. | ||
| Because they'll give amnesty to every single one of these 10 plus million illegal aliens they've jammed through to this country. | ||
| Yet long gone are the days where they spread democracy and did nation building abroad in the sands of the Middle East. | ||
| Now they're doing it here. They're doing it in Springfield. | ||
| They're doing it conveniently in every swing state. | ||
| Because they don't care about the American people. | ||
| They don't care about your vote. | ||
| They don't even want to protect it. | ||
| They mock election integrity. | ||
| That's why they're importing a new class of voter. | ||
| And a new class of voter very quickly becomes a new class of American citizen. |
