| We'll see you back here tomorrow at the same time. | ||
| And War Room Posse, thank you for letting me fill in today. | ||
| We're going to bring the show in real quick. | ||
| We obviously have a packed show. | ||
| Mike Benz, Raheem Kassam, Mike Davis, all things Epstein, Ebola, you name it. | ||
| But let's bring the show in real quick. | ||
| And then you've got an opening rant. | ||
| 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. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

Mega 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. Band. | ||
| You are back in the war room. | ||
| It's Thursday, February 27th in the year of our Lord, 2025. It's Natalie G. Winters hosting the show. | ||
| It feels good to be back. | ||
| It's been a while. | ||
| A few controversial White House stories, shall we say, and I guess today is no exception. | ||
| Now, we're going to get into some Rachel Maddow pandemic weird fear-mongering stuff, but before we do that, we bring on all the guests we have. | ||
| I want to put up a tweet on screen because, you know, in this show, we are all about calling out and holding these feckless, weak, loser congressional Republicans who love to run around with their strongly worded letters, though in this case, all we got was a strongly worded, funny, cutesy tweet, and act like they're really tough. | ||
| And we know that it's you guys, the audience, who's the only people who are actually able to give them a backbone. | ||
| But despite what's happened today with the Epstein files, we're going to get into it. | ||
| They thought it would be funny to put out a tweet breaking Epstein files released. | ||
| Now, if you click through and you can see sort of the little disclaimer there, it's actually a link to a YouTube video of a Rick Astley music video. | ||
| Never going to give you up. | ||
| That's what our congressional Republicans and the very serious House Judiciary GOP committee think about the release of the Epstein files. | ||
| Shame on you guys. | ||
| Now, it's not even funny because what we're talking about is the sexual abuse of young women, extremely young women, and the manipulation of this country at the highest levels, probably by foreign governments. | ||
| Actually, I rephrased that to definitely by foreign governments. | ||
| Would love to see the impact policy-wise, country-wise, that we've had because of people who are compromised. | ||
| The names who are on those Epstein lists. | ||
| But it gets to the heart of the issue. | ||
| That everything that congressional Republicans do is performative. | ||
| Whether it's the budget. | ||
| Oh, all these tough talkers on Doge now are, what, voting to screw you and your grandchildren over by expanding the deficit? | ||
| What was it earlier today? | ||
| Speaker Johnson coming out saying, oh, looks like we're probably going to have to have a CR. Business as usual. | ||
| It's people like you. | ||
| Whoever wrote that idiotic tweet. | ||
| That are responsible for creating a culture where there is no accountability for people like Jeffrey Epstein who can screw over this country, operate essentially with impunity. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Get away with it. | ||
| And you know why? | ||
| Because House Republicans are such a frickin' cheap date that maybe, say Epstein, we're still alive. | ||
| Wonder if we're going to ever get to investigate that. | ||
| Probably not. | ||
| They probably would have settled for a really nice letter coming from Jeffrey Epstein, much like they did Mark Zuckerberg. | ||
| Yeah, Mark Zuckerberg rigged the 2020 election, but I guess he wrote a crappy 1.5-page letter saying, Oops, I didn't intend to do that. | ||
| Sorry, we totally didn't censor conservatives. | ||
| It was just a mistake. | ||
| And I believe it was Jim Jordan. | ||
| The leader of that very same committee, who hailed that as, quote, a big win. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And it's not lost on anyone. | ||
| I love it, right, too. | ||
| They're linking to a YouTube video. | ||
| Last time I checked, War Room's still banned on YouTube, along with a host of other conservative media outlets. | ||
| So I'm so glad that you guys have found the time to put out funny tweets about the Epstein files and Epstein lists that you guys should have been all over years ago. | ||
| I'm so glad you thought it was time to put a meme video out. | ||
| You know, I think I finally understand why Stephen K. Bannon went to prison. | ||
| Because if those are, I was going to say grundoons, but I think that's still too euphemistic, the absolute children who are running House Judiciary, GOP, then we never stood a chance against the government full-blown weaponization of the Biden regime. | ||
| So, shame on you, House Judiciary GOP. And I don't need an apology. | ||
| This audience doesn't need an apology. | ||
| We want the lists, the names, the files only as the opening salvo because we want prison sentences. | ||
| Now, we're going to get into this with Rahim. | ||
| As you can tell, I'm a little heated. | ||
| These people, these Hillstaffers, I don't understand what's wrong with them. | ||
| I want to play a clip. | ||
| There's a lot of narratives that we're tracking. | ||
| From Rachel Maddow, they're going big on this whole Ebola pandemic prevention narrative. | ||
| Apparently measles is back and the bird flu. | ||
| We're going to see a repeat COVID 2.0, all that lovely narrative jazz. | ||
| Let's roll the trigger warning. | ||
| MSNBC clip, Rachel Maddow talking about Ebola. | ||
| None of this is true. | ||
| Public health experts, including current and former USAID officials, Say that the Ebola prevention efforts were hobbled, that they've not been restarted. | ||
| In 2014, you might remember there was an outbreak of Ebola in West Africa. | ||
| Doctors from the United States went to countries like Guinea to go track cases and treat patients. | ||
| A doctor named Craig Spencer was one of those doctors who responded to that outbreak, and he became the first person in New York City to test positive himself for Ebola in October 2014, after he was abroad treating Ebola patients in Guinea with Doctors Without Borders. | ||
| Ebola has a really high mortality rate. | ||
| It kills more than half the people it infects. | ||
| In Dr. Spencer's case, he had 19 days in the hospital, but he survived. | ||
| Today he wrote this in response to Elon Musk's remarks about Ebola prevention being accidentally stopped, but then started back up again with no interruption. | ||
| He said, quote, On January 29th this year, Uganda reported an Ebola outbreak. | ||
| Normally, the U.S. would have quickly sent one of our Ebola experts to help the response. | ||
| But this time we didn't, because we couldn't. | ||
| Because this administration wouldn't let them go right when this outbreak was declared. | ||
| Normally the U.S. would have helped set up border screening and other measures on the ground, but this time we didn't. | ||
| Normally we would have spoken with the WHO about helping end the outbreak, but this time we didn't because CDC staff weren't even allowed to talk to them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And just very recently... | |
| Hundreds of CDC workers, those frontline doctors and epidemiologists who would be responding to outbreaks like Ebola abroad, Ebola in the United States, and other infectious threats that you just highlighted, 750 of those people were let go. | ||
| Regardless of what Elon Musk and others say, we have set ourselves up to be very sorry for an infectious threat. | ||
| Maybe next week, maybe next month, maybe next year. | ||
| But I've been saying over and over again, we will regret this. | ||
| We always love that predictive programming, or I guess I should say fear-mongering, over the next pandemic, right, the, what was it, one-in-a-hundred-year pandemic that seems to happen, what, every now 10 years, 10 days, really, at this rate. | ||
| But I want to drill down on this for a second, because Rachel Maddow dedicated her entire show last night to the idea of Ebola prevention, gone amok, gone amiss, because of the actions by Doge. | ||
| Now... | ||
| Rachel Maddow, I'd tell you to fire your staff because they, again, have had you spread fake news, but I think they've already been laid off amidst all the cuts, though. | ||
| Hey, I guess unlike Doge, MSNBC wasn't even actually nice enough to give them the chance to give an email with the five things that they had done. | ||
| They just got the axe, but I guess maybe they can walk out the door with Joy Reid. | ||
| Much prefer that version of Joy than Kamala Harris's iteration of it. | ||
| But speaking of things that I guess probably make you want to throw up, I guess that is Ebola. | ||
| But there's something quite interesting there, right? | ||
| The idea that we're deviating from the normal consensus of how we would respond to Ebola outbreaks. | ||
| Well, not to make everything about Hunter Biden, but... | ||
| I want to show you the grift that is USAID, that is DARPA, that frankly is Ebola prevention. | ||
| Or I guess Racket would be a better explanation. | ||
| Because the company that was responsible for responding to the 2014 Ebola outbreak was a company that you guys, this audience, may be very well aware of called Metabiota. | ||
| Now, you may know it off the top of your head because it was the company that set up the weird bio labs in Ukraine, but more precisely, because it was a company that received millions of dollars from none other than Hunter Biden and the offshoot of his firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, known as Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners, and to the tune of $30 million in their first round of funding. | ||
| I believe one of their board seats was someone who was also from Hunter Biden RSTP world. | ||
| Now, as you can see on screen right there, this company was tasked with, like I said, responding to the Ebola outbreak in Africa, and they, quote, bungled the response. | ||
| It was so bad that the World Health Organization actually had to get involved and say, we want nothing to do with you because you're not tracking samples, you're not doing anything meaningful to stop this outbreak, and we can't even contact you, and you're mixing up and messing up samples. | ||
| So, Rachel Maddow, if that's what you want business as usual to be, a grift company that's invested quite heavily in by the offspring, the princelings of Democrat politicians who are doing actually nothing substantive on the ground, then yeah, I guess we're happy to deviate away from that. | ||
| Or should we play the equivalent of, I guess, pathogenic, biological, fast and furious scandal by shipping over not just humanized mice models but deadly, deadly pathogens to Chinese Communist Party-run labs like, I don't know, the Wuhan Institute of Virology? | ||
| Is that what pandemic prevention is to you? | ||
| Well, apparently it still is because there's news breaking today that that very same lab, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, is now working on a virus. | ||
| Using same gain-of-function type manipulations, using the humanized mouse models of a COVID derivative. | ||
| So these people never learn. | ||
| This is the establishment's modus operandi. | ||
| They create the problems and then blame us. | ||
| The Inflation Reduction Act. | ||
| That sure did a lot to reduce inflation. | ||
| What was it? | ||
| Outperforming by two percentage points today? | ||
| Yeah, we're the experts. | ||
| Trust the experts. | ||
| We were only off on inflation by what? | ||
| Two percent. | ||
| Double what the initial projection was. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And now all the fear porn over the bird flu and measles. | ||
| Which are frankly on track with the regular rates that we see, but I guess they have to find a way to nag RFK Jr. Right, or how about this? | ||
| All the coverage on the plane crashes, which we know is happening because of DEI. Complex systems theory don't quite work all that well when the people that you're hiring are not all that intelligent to begin with. | ||
| But it's funny, I didn't see the mainstream media covering all those food processing centers getting blown up, or the weird spike in train derailments, right? | ||
| It's only when it fits a certain narrative that they're willing to go complete, full steam ahead on these completely premeditated narratives. | ||
| And do you know why they're ramming this down the throat of the American people? | ||
| Because they are so desperate lashing out over what President Trump is trying to do to prevent the mass firing and termination of tens of thousands, I think we're at about 20,000 now, federal workers. | ||
| Right, a new OPM memo coming out just yesterday, sort of the second iteration of the one that launched that initial law fair with Justice, or rather Judge John McConnell up in Rhode Island and Amit Mehta down here in DC, or rather Ali Khan down in DC. So all these narratives that you're seeing, the Ebola, the measles, the idea that the airplanes are going to crash, it's all just because they don't want these people to be fired. | ||
| And you know where they got really, really, really, touched the Achilles heel, really nervous? | ||
| The idea that a lot of these federal employees, well, they're actually just dead people who are non-existent to begin with. | ||
| They really didn't like that one. | ||
| And do you know what I say? | ||
| Because I got a little bit of, shall we say, deja vu or maybe 2020 election PTSD. Maybe we need to send in Doge to audit the voter rolls, too. | ||
| Because I think we have a problem with dead people there as well. | ||
| And you know how we know we're right? | ||
| Because anytime you say it, the mainstream media goes in full meltdown mode. | ||
| And that's how you know that you're over the target. | ||
| Because last time I checked, the New York Times said, what, we were the number one spreader of misinformation for even daring to say that. | ||
| Like I always note, they never reached out to do a follow-up piece. | ||
| It's because we were proven right. | ||
| Raheem Kassam joins us after the break. | ||
| We've got Mike Benz, Mike Davis, Epstein. | ||
| We're going to get into that whole, shall we say, situation. | ||
| And we'll be right back. | ||
| You're back in the War Room, where, of course, you've got to be checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon or texting Bannon to 989898, getting the latest installment of The End of the Dollar Empire, which I'm hearing there are professors who are now making it required reading in some of their classes. | ||
| I hope those people don't get a doorknock from the FBI, though I guess in Trump's America you're probably safe from that. | ||
| Although today there's some concerning, I think, developments, and that's maybe a bit of a whitewashing term, but it's certainly unfolding. | ||
| In terms of the rollout of what we were promised was going to be the Epstein list, the names, the identities. | ||
| I think the American people were pretty clear in what they wanted to see. | ||
| And I think it's fair to say that what we've seen come out thus far certainly does not meet that threshold. | ||
| the world. | ||
| I want to bring Raheem Kassamani as a new piece up, sort of walking through it. | ||
| Raheem, you and I obviously know a lot of the influencers who were at the White House today. | ||
| I'm sure right now people have seen the pictures, people holding up the binders. | ||
| But it turns out that a lot of the information within those binders is nothing new. | ||
| It's not really what the American people were hoping for. | ||
| I'll let you sort of walk the audience through what happened today. | ||
| And more importantly, where we kind of go from here, both your thoughts and where you think the White House will go from here. | ||
| Yeah, thanks, Natalie. | ||
| Well, I hope the audience knows me well enough by now to realize that when I say it's not been a very good day at the White House, that actually means something that isn't like hearing it on MSNBC, CNN or otherwise. | ||
| It was described to me, this event that occurred. | ||
| This morning and into this afternoon by one of the people present in the room as, I'll use the PG term, a cluster fudge. | ||
| And I think that is probably the most accurate way of putting it. | ||
| Most of the people in that room are very well known to me. | ||
| And so I had the ability to pull together different bits of information as well as speak to White House sources and beyond about what happened today. | ||
| And mostly the fingers of blame are being pointed at AG Pan Bondi. | ||
| Basically saying, look, this wasn't a planned rollout. | ||
| This isn't something that we expected at this meeting. | ||
| This was something that she almost kind of, her and her team unilaterally did without prior knowledge of the wider White House and the Operation Day, especially because they've got another big event there today, the arrival of Sakir Starmer and the UK-US conversations that were taking place today. | ||
| But, you know, I've got this piece up at the National Pulse, walking people through it, and effectively it goes like this. | ||
| These social media influencers were invited to a series of policy briefings with high-level White House and administration people, such as the vice president, J.D. Vance, such as FBI director, Kash Patel, such as AG, Pam Bondi. | ||
| And they even spent some time with President Donald Trump himself today, got a tour of the Oval Office, again had some policy briefings. | ||
| But then what happened is they were given these binders, and they weren't expecting it. | ||
| They weren't pre-briefed on it. | ||
| I know that prior to this event as well, because I actually spoke to some of these people about what happened today. | ||
| Yesterday, they told me they were going in for these policy briefings, so they didn't expect any of this. | ||
| And they were given these things, and then they were kind of paraded in front of the national media, who were there really to cover the UK-US conversation that was taking place on the White House lawn. | ||
| But it turned out that... | ||
| The president himself was in a room, the Roosevelt Room, Now, it's nothing new. | ||
| We know that President Trump was in Jeffrey Epstein's phone book. | ||
| That information was released five years ago. | ||
| There's nothing new, particularly in these binders whatsoever. | ||
| I've spoken to people who have had them, who have gone through them. | ||
| I've seen people live streaming from them today, this afternoon as well. | ||
| And nobody can find anything new in this information. | ||
| So what it turns out to be is... | ||
| It's kind of a PR stunt. | ||
| By the Attorney General, by Pam Bondi, to try and kind of adhere to this promise that she's now made for a couple of weeks now that she's going to get these documents released and she's going to release the Epstein files. | ||
| And so it says Phase 1 on the front of this binder. | ||
| But it turns out that Phase 1 is information that was already publicly available anyway. | ||
| So now people are scratching their heads, right? | ||
| What is going on here? | ||
| Why isn't she releasing the information? | ||
| She went on Jesse Waters yesterday and she said, I've got the client list on my desk. | ||
| And then this afternoon, of course, she comes out and sends a letter to Kash Patel saying, well, actually, we haven't been given the information by the FBI. | ||
| So which is it? | ||
| Because right now we've got Schrodinger's Epstein list. | ||
| It does and it both doesn't exist at the same time. | ||
| And people are starting to get curious about what's going on there. | ||
| I will say in the defense of these influencers, you know, they go in there for years. | ||
| Yeah, a series of policy briefings. | ||
| Of course, you know, I was about to say, of course, you get invited to go to the White House, you go to the White House. | ||
| I actually got invited to go to the White House today and I couldn't make it. | ||
| That was for the UK-US event, not for this event this morning. | ||
| But they were only told after they were pictured with these binders. | ||
| By the national and international media that, hey, these things are off the record. | ||
| We don't want the public knowing that we've handed this to you yet because we're preparing a release on it for later this afternoon or early tomorrow morning, whatever it is. | ||
| And so it just turns out that a lot of people on the internet I saw this afternoon suggesting there's this wide conspiracy by all of these influencers. | ||
| Maybe they're paedophile sympathizers and all of this. | ||
| It turns out it's just good old-fashioned clusterfudgery. | ||
| Well, you pick up on something interesting there, right? | ||
| Because now their defense that they're coming out with is essentially saying that certain FBI offices, I believe they singled out that of New York, are the ones who are withholding the documents, which doesn't quite square with what we were told, like you just alluded to last night on Fox, the interview between Pam Bondi and Jesse Waters. | ||
| So I'm just curious your thoughts there, and just to bring one other element of interplay here, that you have, of course, So it seems | ||
| like there is some communication breakdown. | ||
| I'm curious. | ||
| Where you think the holdup is here? | ||
| Is it a DOJ problem? | ||
| Is it a comms problem? | ||
| Is it Congress just not liaising with them? | ||
| What's sort of the root of the issue, in your opinion? | ||
| I think there are probably three answers to that question, and the broader answer is a part of each three of those things. | ||
| Number one, A.G. Pamboni is getting over her skis on this. | ||
| You know, she wants perhaps to release this information, but she doesn't have it. | ||
| She's going on television to claim she has it in order to get it released to her. | ||
| She's doing this stunt at the White House today without kind of reading the White House in to this wider situation. | ||
| Again, in order perhaps to get this information out. | ||
| And of course, you have to understand that there are still holdovers in the federal government. | ||
| You know, all the people who are working those desk jobs at the FBI and the DOJ, they have not all yet been fired. | ||
| They have not all yet been extricated from their position. | ||
| And so there are people in there who are obviously trying to block this, trying to redact certain things, and she's kind of fighting against that. | ||
| So I won't go so far as to say right now that this is, you know, a resigning offense for her, but I do think that people are starting to query like, hey, listen, just be honest with us. | ||
| If you can't get some information out that you're trying to get out right now, then you must tell the public that. | ||
| The front of the binders today, Natalie, said most transparent administration in U.S. history. | ||
| So let's live up to that promise. | ||
| I don't want to hear that this is some 5D chess that they're playing. | ||
| It's like Elon going like, oh, I was doing a pulse check on all these people. | ||
| Let's actually have the conversations out in public so that ordinary members of the public, especially the Trump voters all around the country, can make their minds up as to what is happening. | ||
| There is such a thing as being too clever by half, and I think perhaps A.G. Bondi is falling into that trap. | ||
| Now listen, it's not an easy job, and this is perhaps the hardest part of it. | ||
| The coalface you could possibly have is the Epstein list, right? | ||
| It's up there with the JFK files. | ||
| It's up there with other manner of either conspiracies or cover-ups that have happened in America for the last 50, 60-odd years. | ||
| So I'm not ready to point the finger at her and say, this is a disgrace. | ||
| You have to go from your position. | ||
| But I am ready to stare down the barrel of this camera and say, get it together fast. | ||
| Yeah, no, we've got to be all over this, I'm sure. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon would agree. | ||
| Raheem, we've got about two minutes before I've got to let you go. | ||
| I'd love just your sort of general synopsis. | ||
| We're going to have Mike Benz join us after the break to walk through it in more detail. | ||
| But, of course, the meeting today, your home country, we thought it would only be fitting to have you on. | ||
| Yeah, look, I was happy, by the way, with what VP Vance did today, accosting Sir Keir Starmer over freedom of speech issues in the United Kingdom. | ||
| But I do think Trump went really easy on him. | ||
| And of course, he's playing the diplomat. | ||
| He's the president of the United States. | ||
| He knows he has a role to play here that is kind of above the partisan political fray and that Sir Keir Starmer is a guest in this country. | ||
| And Donald Trump, as you and I both know, and a lot of this audience knows, is an amazing host. | ||
| He loves hosting people, likes putting people at ease. | ||
| But there are several flashpoints that stood out to me on this. | ||
| One is the Chagos Islands deal, which may mean nothing to this audience. | ||
| We've had Nigel Farage come on and talk about it before. | ||
| This is about a deal for a very, very important base in Diego Garcia that the Mauritians are trying to sell to the Chinese. | ||
| And President Trump suggested that this deal may actually get his support. | ||
| That would be a major geostrategic error on this administration's part and on the part in the wider sense of United States national security. | ||
| I also think that, you know, there wasn't... | ||
| And while I have a second, I want to encourage everybody to go to thenationalpulse.com forward slash war room. | ||
| And sign up for more of our reporting. | ||
| Well, I was going to ask you to do that, but you beat me to it. | ||
| So I'll give you one more chance. | ||
| You know, we love the National Pulse. | ||
| It's where I got my start. | ||
| I find myself, you know, more and more retweeting a lot of the old stories that I published because they're only becoming increasingly relevant. | ||
| If people want to follow you, Raheem, where can they go to do that and get all the National Pulse scoops and stories? | ||
| One more time. | ||
| Yeah, at Raheem Kassam on all social media and thenationalpulse.com. | ||
| We are 100% user-funded, no corporate kickbacks. | ||
| No billionaire kickbacks, no political cash, all 100% from you, the people, thenationalpulse.com forward slash warren. | ||
| Do it today, otherwise we'll fold tomorrow. | ||
| And too busy for the White House? | ||
| Seriously? | ||
| I got some things going on. | ||
| Don't worry about it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm working on some things. | ||
|

|
It's all good. | |
| We'll have you back in the war room. | ||
| We've got Mike Benz joining us. | ||
| We're going to drill down on the meeting. | ||
| All things censorship, like Raheem said, something I certainly wish there would have been more discussion about since the UK is where so much of all that emanates from. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
|

|
War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| You're back in the War Room where, of course, you've got to be checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Texting Bannon to 989898. And while you're at it, maybe give Tax Network USA a call or, I guess, link click. | ||
| It's tnusa.com slash Bannon. | ||
| If there's any time to settle any tax problems, it's probably now since the IRS or, I guess, what's left of them is at least marginally on our side. | ||
| And I like to think that most of the people in the Trump admin are on our side, and I think they are. | ||
| But this Epstein situation, I think it's something that the American people are very sensitive about, and rightfully so, because we have been lied to for so long about it. | ||
| And if the Trump administration wants to be known as the most transparent administration in history, then I think they have a wonderful opportunity to do that for the American people with this issue. | ||
| I want to bring on someone who knows, I think, just a little bit about censorship and all things transparency. | ||
| That is, of course... | ||
| Mike Benz, who joins us now. | ||
| Mike, I know we wanted to drill down on the UK meeting, but before we get into that, I would love to just sort of get your assessment on... | ||
| I was about to ask you why this whole Epstein client file list release is such a big deal, but that's probably something that we could do multiple hours on. | ||
| So limited to the scope of sort of what's happening today, your assessment on the rollout, what you think we need to see. | ||
| Well, I think the intention of this was to try to do what worked very well during the Twitter files, which was that you have this release go out to a select number of people who can really dive into it, and then it would be made fully public later in time. | ||
| And that, I believe, is the intention. | ||
| People who have received these binders have said everything that they have is going to be up on a website at some point in time in the very near future. | ||
| Liz Wheeler, who received one of these binders, put up a post that was very, I think, important for context, basically saying that Pam Bondi has felt that there was a betrayal at the Southern District of New York, SDNY, which was the main locus of all things lawfare against Trump world. | ||
| They're the ones with the Epstein files. | ||
| You know, Epstein was being held in the prison in New York. | ||
| It was actually Maureen Comey. | ||
| The daughter of James Comey, the FBI director who was in charge of all things Blobcraft at the FBI against Donald Trump. | ||
| Maureen Comey actually is a prosecutor at the SDNY, and she co-led the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and prosecution prior to Epstein's death. | ||
| So this is really all in the family. | ||
| What we're hearing now is that Part of the delay is that from the White House release, or I'm sorry, the Justice Department release of this, has been stonewalling from the Southern District of New York, stonewalling from Comey Central, from Letitia James Central. | ||
| And the fact is, Liz Wheeler came out and said, there's really nothing in these 200 pages that were released to us, but that... | ||
| Right now, I think the focus is on trying to penetrate deeper into SDNY and get the files that they're claiming they are not giving up. | ||
| So there's a civil war, basically, between Maine Justice and the New York Blobcraft branch. | ||
| It is curious to me, though, because I do believe, if I'm not misremembering, that she did claim yesterday on Fox that they had the list, right, that they were getting ready to release it. | ||
| So I do think that that is something that I'm sure people will get into. | ||
| But I want to pivot, since we've spent a lot of time on this, and I want to give due time to what happened with the UK today. | ||
| Had I been there, I was getting ready for this show, so I didn't have a chance to ask a question. | ||
| But you know better than anyone probably that the UK really has been sort of the tip of the spear, at least funding financially or at least providing the manpower on a lot of these censorship programs like the Global Disinformation Index. | ||
| I didn't hear that much discussion of that today, but I'm just curious from that purview, that perspective, how you think today's meeting went. | ||
| Well, I love the line from J.D. Vance when he said straight to Kare Starmer's face, I said what I said. | ||
| It was very gangster. | ||
| He said, I said what I said. | ||
| The U.K. no longer has free speech. | ||
| People are being arrested for hitting the retweet button. | ||
| And, you know, Kara Starmer tried to, you know, kind of dodge and weave through that. | ||
| But the fact is, is Kara Starmer's chief of staff is a man named Morgan McSweeney. | ||
| Morgan McSweeney was the founder of CCDH, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, whose own donor impact reports, it's been reported. | ||
| And we have all the screenshots from Paul Thacker, the investigative journalist who obtained these. | ||
| That the number one priority item was to kill Musk's Twitter. | ||
| See, Kara Starmer's defense was, listen, yeah, we censor our own citizens here in the UK, but it's not going to affect you in the US. And they know damn well that's a lie. | ||
| CCDH, which again was created by the man who is currently the chief of staff of Kara Starmer, the gatekeeper for anyone who wants access to Kara Starmer. | ||
| It was his chief of staff who created CCDH. Whose own top goal is to kill the U.S. social media giant X. And then in addition to that, in the donor reports, it showed how their goal was to impact U.S. policy about the regulation of speech, to get the U.S. regulators and U.S. universities. | ||
| And thought leadership folks to adopt what they call the STAR framework, which is basically a censorship framework with a little acronym attached. | ||
| They detailed their meetings, their policy meetings with Senator Amy Klobuchar and other high-ranking U.S. figures. | ||
| They are funded directly by Kerr Starmer's U.K. Foreign Office, their version of the State Department, in order to influence U.S. policy to get America to censor what the Brits want us to censor. | ||
| For example, the Brits want us waging their war against Russia. | ||
| The great game of the UK against Russia has been raging for 175 years, all the way back to the Crimean War in the 1800s. | ||
| We have been Britain's pawn in many respects in this conflict about Ukraine and Russia because London money juices U.S. politics. | ||
| It juices the D.C. networks, this haloed transatlantic relationship. | ||
| Well, enough of that. | ||
| It was Keir Starmer's government who actually sent a delegation to work directly with the Biden administration to have a transatlantic A lot coordinating network to jointly censor things in the U.S. and U.K. It was the U.S. Justice Department who funded Hate Lab, which the U.K. Metropolitan Police uses to do scan and ban of hate speech in the U.K. and go on and on and on. | ||
| In those coordination meetings, the U.K. Digital Office actually preached to the Biden administration when they flew to the White House to do this transatlantic censorship meeting. | ||
| That the UK online harms bill would be a new legal – novel legal innovation to be able to censor domestic political opponents both in the UK and it would have a whiplash effect on the Trump movement here in the US. As we speak, censors and exiles here in the U.S. are fleeing to London to use the in-power government there to censor Americans. | ||
| We saw this happen with Nina Jankovic, who was the DHS disinformation governance board czar here. | ||
| As soon as she got terminated, she became a registered agent of the British Crown to work for the Center for Information Resilience in London, where that firm even got USAID funding. | ||
| Next week, there's something called the Disinformation Kill Chain Conference. | ||
| Which will have several two-star generals, army generals, army chief of staff, and other high-level U.S. figures working directly with the London censorship network. | ||
| They're flying to London in order to coordinate how to stop disinformation online. | ||
| Well, you know who's in that conference? | ||
| Luke Pollard, the British MP who called Trump the worst president in U.S. history, a racist, sexist, misogynist, and said he breathed, quote, a sigh of relief the day that Joe Biden became president and the Trump era was over for good, in his own words. | ||
| You know who else is attending there and speaking there? | ||
| The head of Grafica, the CIA front for... | ||
| They were the ones who censored COVID-19. | ||
| They were the ones who censored Trump and all things Trump during the 2020 election. | ||
| They had a direct partnership with the Atlanta Council and the Department of Homeland Security to censor anyone who questioned mail-in ballots. | ||
| London is the center of the censorship universe now that the Biden era has been dethroned. | ||
| And frankly, I think what J.D. Vance and Donald Trump should have done when they were talking with Keir Starmer in front of the cameras is said, hey, can you get your chief of staff in the room? | ||
| He's standing right over there. | ||
| Hey, turn your cameras. | ||
| I want to ask you why the U.K. Foreign Office is paying a British organization to kill our leading social media free speech, Platform X. Sounds a lot worse than just no taxation without representation. | ||
| But Mike, this really harkens back to, I think, a conversation we had before President Trump was sworn in. | ||
| And we said, well, because they've lost essentially all levers of institutional power here, they're going to have to outsource their opposition. | ||
| And we know the playbook that Norm Eisen had constructed said as much that a lot of this funding, they wanted to outsource it to sort of international media organizations, right? | ||
| That's quite a euphemistic term. | ||
| But it seems like a lot of that funding was sort of supposed to come from USAID. | ||
| So we've only got a few minutes, but I'd love to sort of get your synopsis on where we stand on the USAID fight, but how that is also inextricably linked to the disinformation campaign that they've been forced to outsource to the U.K. because they can't do it here anymore, how that was really a cornerstone in that whole op. | ||
| Yeah, well, there was major news, actually, to... | ||
| Just yesterday, the Supreme Court... | ||
| I'm just reading Business Insider here, just handed the Trump administration a win on USAID, looking like things are going well again for the pause. | ||
| It's been a ping-pong and all of that. | ||
| But the fact is, is what they're doing, losing the USAID funding, is going straight to the EU, the NATO, and the UN grant-making bodies in order to get the – I call this the USAID offset. | ||
| They want to offset the loss of funds from USAID. To get money from the private donor networks like George Soros, Craig Newmark, Pierre Omidyar, and Reid Hoffman and the rest of the sort of oligarchs, they want to get the offset funding from the EU and their grant-making bodies from the UN and the NATO ones. | ||
| And we've already seen that. | ||
| Viktor Orban, the head of state in Hungary, has come out and said that since USAID dried up funding for NGOs in Hungary, 63 of them have now requested EU funds to basically offset what they used to get from USAID. And that gets right back to this situation in Europe where the out-of-power censorship networks here and covert influence networks here that have lost Mike, | ||
| if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything that you're working on, which is so, so much. | ||
| It's really important. | ||
| It is the thing itself. | ||
| Where can people go to do all that? | ||
| Find me on X. It's at MikeBenCyber, all one word. | ||
| And the foundation is FoundationForFreedomOnline.com. | ||
| You can see our investigative reporting there. | ||
| Thanks, Natalie. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| We'll have you back on soon. | ||
| And just remember... | ||
| All these people right now, I guess we can add Jeff Bezos to the long list of converts whose, frankly, conversions are less convincing than a lot of transgender operations that I've seen. | ||
| Until these people want to start talking about censorship or the actual issues, like, right, the invasion at the southern border, the continued just absolute assault on American sovereignty, they can save it. | ||
| You know, appealing to the whole MAGA base thing. | ||
| You know, Jeff Bezos, I'm so glad that you've now decided that the Washington Post op-ed page is going to be used for, what, promoting individual freedom and free markets? | ||
| Well, I guess that's better than promoting, what, socialism and complete deprivation of humanity and censoring Americans just because we dare to defy the global establishment's line on any given issue. | ||
| I mean... | ||
| That should show you how low the bar has become, not just for the media, but for the establishment elite that Jeff Bezos represents. | ||
| That's saying, we're not going to actively promote taking away your personal liberty and force-feeding socialism down your throat. | ||
| That's how we're going to appeal to the MAGA base. | ||
| Just like Mark Zuckerberg, I'll say thank you. | ||
| But no thanks. | ||
| You can save it and frankly you can go shove it. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| Mike Davis after this short break. | ||
| Welcome back to the war room where of course gotta be checking out slnt.com/bannon. | ||
| You get, I believe, 15% off, maybe free shipping. | ||
| I think if this episode has been any indication of why you need the Faraday bags, all that good stuff, you've certainly got to go to slnt.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Bannon, someone who I think probably needs multiple Faraday bags, is none other than Mike Davis, who joins us now. | ||
| Now, Mike, I wanted to bring you on. | ||
| There's this, shall we say, buried lead full piece in Politico talking about how Democrat AGs and their sort of lackeys are all having these like 4 p.m. | ||
| Eastern Standard Time. | ||
| I guess they have to be able to watch War Room. | ||
| Phone calls, Zoom meetings where they're planning the resistance. | ||
| I wanted to bring you on to sort of walk. | ||
| What exactly they're planning and just generally the lawfare strategy, how the Trump administration has been successful pushing back this far. | ||
| President Trump campaigned on the fact he's going to hire Elon Musk, set up Doge, cut government waste, fraud and abuse, secure our border. | ||
| Deport illegal immigrants, the hell back to wherever third world dump they came from. | ||
| And the American people liked what they heard, and they gave President Trump a broad electoral mandate on November 5th. | ||
| 312 electoral votes, all seven swing states. | ||
| We kept the House. | ||
| We won the Senate with a comfortable margin. | ||
| And so the Democrats are desperate. | ||
| They don't have... | ||
| Anywhere to go with their resistance because the American people support President Trump. | ||
| So they have these 23 Democrat state attorneys general going to these activist left-wing radical judges around the country and they're seeking temporary restraining orders. | ||
| Sabotaging the President of the United States' Article II executive powers. | ||
| The President is not stealing Congress' Article I legislative powers. | ||
| The President is not stealing the Supreme Court's Article III judicial powers. | ||
| He is exercising core Article II executive powers like hiring, firing, transferring, securing the border, making sure that we don't have waste, fraud, and abuse, which is his constitutional duty under Article II where he has to take care that which is his constitutional duty under Article II where he has to take care that And you have these wacky state attorneys general, 23 Democrats, and these even wackier judges trying to stop him. | ||
| Now, the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice of all people, not exactly a Trump supporter. | ||
| I've never seen the Chief Justice wear a MAGA hat. | ||
| I don't think the Chief Justice and his wife have Trump signs in their yard in Chevy Chase, but even he stepped up last night and stopped two of these activist judges from trying to order the President of the United States. | ||
| to spend $2 billion on foreign aid when the president is trying to make sure it's not riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse. | ||
| Maybe we don't want to send money So Zelensky can buy another yacht. | ||
| Maybe we don't want to send money to the UN in Gaza so Hamas can fund the murder of more Americans and Israelis. | ||
| The president is doing his job under the Constitution. | ||
| The American people support him. | ||
| And it's these state attorneys general and these radical judges who are the French. | ||
| Mike Davis, you break it down like I don't think anybody else could. | ||
| I don't even think I have a follow-up question. | ||
| No, I'm kidding. | ||
| I do, but I'm running out of time. | ||
| If people want to follow you, support the Article 3 project, you're the reason we've been able to push back so effectively and get so many of these nominees through. | ||
| Where can people go to do all that? | ||
| Article3project.org. | ||
| You can donate there. | ||
| You can follow us on social media. | ||
| The most important thing the War Room Posse does is take action. | ||
| We help President Trump confirm his cabinet. | ||
| We're going to work on his sub-cabinet next, and then we're going to work on his judicial nominees. | ||
| We're going to be with President Trump every day, every step of the way for the next four years. | ||
| Mike Davis, thank you so much for joining us. | ||
| We'll have you back on. | ||
|

|
Thank you. | |
| I just wanted to make one quick mention before we bring on Mike Lindell. | ||
| You know, I'm sure y'all have seen by now the brilliant Jake Tapper has a new book, Original Sin. | ||
| Apparently, the man who is responsible for covering up Joe Biden's cognitive decline now wants to profit off the book where he's going to expose the people who lied about it. | ||
| Probably the greatest example I've ever seen of projection. | ||
| This book would probably better be published as an autobiography. | ||
| Keep in mind, this is the same guy who had multiple crazy, deranged Democrats come on his show in the first Trump administration, including none other than Jamie Raskin, saying that President Trump was so mentally incompetent that he needed to be removed from office under the 25th Amendment. | ||
| But here's the thing, Jake Tapper, and I'd put you in the bucket of the Mark Zuckerbergs and the Jeff Bezoses, the people who think that this audience, right, that the MAGA movement... | ||
| So dumb and so cheap and has such low standards that we'll just, I don't know, welcome in people who've tried to destroy this country for years. | ||
| You've proved yet again that you're actually not one of us. | ||
| Because the original sin of Joe Biden's presidency was not lying about his cognitive decline. | ||
| It was the 2020 stolen election. | ||
| And the media's original sin was covering that up from start to finish, like you've done with so many other elections. | ||
| So, hope the book goes well. | ||
| Hope whatever weird, probably money laundering payment was included in that payoff is worth it, but we're not buying it literally or figuratively. | ||
| And on that note, something that we should be buying is, of course, none other than Mike Lindell, MyPillow, all things MyPillow. | ||
