Transcript

00:00:00.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:06.720 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:11.900 You're just not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:16.220 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:18.180 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:19.560 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:21.320 but you're not going to stop it.
00:00:22.240 It's going to happen.
00:00:23.520 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:00:26.920 Mega media.
00:00:27.820 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:33.720 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:37.460 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:43.880 Warwick. Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
00:00:51.280 It's Friday, 16th December in the year of our Lord, 2022.
00:00:54.280 We are jammed wall-to-wall today, so let's get on with it.
00:00:58.020 We've got to go to the border, and we're bringing Todd Benzman for Center for Immigration Studies,
00:01:04.320 one of the top guys in the field.
00:01:05.740 We also have Anthony Aguero of Real America's Voice in El Paso, Texas.
00:01:11.800 We also have Cash Patel who's going to join us on the Intel side,
00:01:15.040 talking about President Trump's announcement yesterday on disinformation, misinformation,
00:01:20.180 and also talks about some intelligence that is coming out now,
00:01:23.780 about the intelligence services, the Wuhan lab, the Chinese bioweapons program, all of that.
00:01:29.700 I want to go to Todd first.
00:01:31.080 Todd, they made a big deal overnight, and I think you've warned us about this,
00:01:35.960 but they've made a big deal overnight about a federal judge in Texas
00:01:39.020 has ruled that President Trump's remain in Mexico policy has got to be kept in place.
00:01:46.660 Explain to the audience this ruling.
00:01:51.340 The mainstream media is making it like a big deal that, oh, this is going to stop people.
00:01:55.560 The emergency is not going to be that bad, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
00:01:58.940 I want to know what the signal is, not the noise.
00:02:03.000 Todd Bensman.
00:02:04.700 It's meaningless because the administration has already been ordered to maintain MPP,
00:02:14.780 remain in Mexico it's called, under court order,
00:02:19.060 and they filled it so full of exemptions and holes that they rendered it meaningless.
00:02:26.120 They don't like it, they don't want it, they don't want to implement it.
00:02:29.780 They can claim they're still sending a few back here and there,
00:02:33.760 but I can tell you on the other side in Mexico, it's not a thing.
00:02:37.980 Nobody is worried about MPP or getting kicked back under remain in Mexico.
00:02:42.920 And just to give you an example, if you, under the new rules of maintaining remain in Mexico,
00:02:50.200 the administration requires its people on the border to ask,
00:02:54.460 are you afraid to return to Mexico?
00:02:57.020 And if the answer is yes, guess what?
00:02:59.420 You get a pass in to the country.
00:03:02.360 If you claim you're gay and are afraid to be in Mexico because of it, you're in, it's a pass in.
00:03:12.520 And furthermore, if you want, you can, if you get pushed back to Mexico,
00:03:18.340 you can go through the port of entry on a humanitarian parole program or operation that they're doing.
00:03:25.760 I keep reporting this.
00:03:27.320 I think I'm still the only one in America who is reporting this program where thousands and thousands of people
00:03:34.560 are able to be escorted through the port of entry under this legally questionable humanitarian parole
00:03:41.660 with work authorization, by the way, handed directly off to the Americans waiting for them.
00:03:48.960 So there are lots of workarounds.
00:03:50.780 I'm unimpressed by, by the ruling.
00:03:53.740 And so technically it's in place, but if, if it's not being implemented, then it, it, it's not a deterrent.
00:04:01.120 I hope that.
00:04:02.900 Hang on before.
00:04:04.780 Explain what Trump did originally.
00:04:07.240 And what is MPP explain to the audience what MPP stands for and what the original purpose of this was.
00:04:13.640 And what the judge essentially ruled on to keep it in place.
00:04:17.020 What is MPP and what was Trump's initial intent on this?
00:04:23.200 It was one of the most impactful tricks in the bag that Trump rolled out, that he pulled out.
00:04:30.980 It required immigrants who were going to make a claim of asylum to make your claim, but you got to wait it out in Mexico.
00:04:39.960 So then people went home instead.
00:04:41.820 Nobody came here for asylum.
00:04:43.720 They came here to get into the country and wait for six years in a backlogged line or not even bother, just disappear.
00:04:51.460 And Trump understood this.
00:04:53.220 So nobody came for the great Mexican dream.
00:04:56.740 You have to wait in Mexico.
00:04:58.260 And they all went home and thousands more just didn't even bother coming because they were going to get kicked back into Mexico to wait for six years there.
00:05:07.560 Nobody wants to wait for their years and years in Mexico.
00:05:10.220 That's not the point of using asylum.
00:05:13.880 Point of using asylum is a way to get around Border Patrol, period.
00:05:18.480 That's all it is.
00:05:20.120 But the very first thing that Biden did when they entered office, I mean, literally on inauguration day, was they killed that thing.
00:05:28.500 And the reason is because it was so impactful.
00:05:33.720 It was probably the most impactful thing that Trump ever did at the border in terms of deterring people from coming.
00:05:41.000 So that was the first thing to go.
00:05:45.220 One of the very first actions of the Biden administration was to put an executive order out there or basically rescinded Trump's executive order on remain in Mexico.
00:05:56.360 Correct.
00:05:56.800 To basically signal to the world, hey, the floodgates are open.
00:06:00.660 Correct.
00:06:00.900 It worked.
00:06:01.200 Yeah, it worked.
00:06:02.540 And Title 42 was doing the same thing.
00:06:06.420 Title 42 kind of displaced MPP during the pandemic because 100 percent of everybody was denied access to the asylum system.
00:06:17.920 When Biden came in, he got rid of it.
00:06:21.100 He got rid of MPP, but he also opened up huge exemptions in 42 so that everybody could come in who was in those categories, families, pregnant women, unaccompanied minors.
00:06:33.720 And that's what triggered the mass migration crisis that we still have today.
00:06:38.480 So it's all about asylum.
00:06:40.740 This thing is all about asylum.
00:06:42.500 Everything is about asylum.
00:06:43.740 So what wouldn't, but the MPP is to make sure they can't, the remain in Mexico is to make sure they can't game the system to come here.
00:06:52.280 Like you said, once they're here on these phony asylum claims, they go into the interior of the country and you lose track of them.
00:06:59.600 They never show back up for the, for the, to keep track of them.
00:07:02.900 They're not back in six years.
00:07:04.100 They just get absorbed into the country.
00:07:05.880 They get fake IDs, fake social security numbers.
00:07:08.620 They're, they're, they're in correct.
00:07:10.480 And in this, the Trump, the Trump policies, the, the, the complete set of the policies were what were able for us to get the control of the Southern border that we had.
00:07:22.100 Correct.
00:07:23.500 Yeah.
00:07:24.180 It MPP removed the foundational incentive of mass migration.
00:07:30.180 The foundational incentive is to say, I want asylum.
00:07:35.420 And then you get in and you're in forever.
00:07:37.900 They'll never come and get you.
00:07:39.080 They'll never find you.
00:07:40.320 You're just going to disappear.
00:07:41.680 That's why we have 11 million, 12 million, maybe probably millions more than that.
00:07:46.300 Just permanently illegal, illegally in the U S when MPP was in operation.
00:07:53.880 When Trump was still in office, I went to Mexico and hung out with all those people that had been pushed back.
00:08:01.700 And I said, well, what's, what are you going to do now?
00:08:03.780 And they're like, well, I'm gone.
00:08:05.320 We're going home.
00:08:06.300 You know, the United nations actually rolled up buses and had a busing operation, driving them all the way back to Honduras for free because nobody wants asylum.
00:08:18.460 They don't, it's not a real thing.
00:08:20.400 They're like telling me, I'm not going over the board.
00:08:23.600 I'm not, I'm not staying here.
00:08:25.380 I came here to get in.
00:08:26.580 They told me I was going to get in and I didn't get in.
00:08:28.920 I'm stuck in Mexico.
00:08:30.860 I'm going home to the place that they supposedly fled in fear of their lives, that they're going home.
00:08:38.460 They're perfectly fine going home now.
00:08:43.440 The judge, didn't the judge, or wasn't it argued that, didn't the judge realize that in saying it stays, it has to remain in place, that they, they, they didn't have the right to, to, to take this executive order off.
00:08:56.780 But in saying that, didn't he understand that the system, what the Biden administration has got so many holes in it, particularly one they just made up.
00:09:03.980 Hey, I'm afraid to go back.
00:09:05.460 And then you don't have, I'm afraid to go back to Mexico.
00:09:07.900 Then you don't have to go back.
00:09:10.680 Did anybody put in front of the judge that the Biden administration is willfully, willfully.
00:09:16.180 And this is, I want to get to my favorite topic, the omnibus, which we're going to spend all two hours in and out on this thing.
00:09:22.000 So, yes, to impeach Mayorkas and Garland and all that and start with the invasion of the southern border, yes, important, but it's going to take time.
00:09:31.280 You've got to do the investigations.
00:09:32.380 You've got to do the House.
00:09:33.620 This is why we must have not Nancy Pelosi's hand on the gavel for one year.
00:09:39.720 If they pass the omnibus and they just gave themselves another week by passing a short-term CR that takes it down to the 23rd of December, Friday a week.
00:09:48.920 Look, if you have Nancy Pelosi's, it's her budget.
00:09:54.280 It's paid for.
00:09:55.660 There's no way you can force them to the table today, immediately, starting the afternoon, January 3rd.
00:10:02.040 You can't force them to the table by cutting off their money.
00:10:05.480 And this is leverage.
00:10:07.540 This is what you need.
00:10:08.580 Did anybody get in front of the judge and tell them, hey, they've made a joke of this thing?
00:10:13.320 And so what you're telling them they can't take away has basically been cut to shreds because of their actions?
00:10:21.500 I mean, this is a Texas.
00:10:23.280 This comes from a Texas, Missouri lawsuit against the Biden administration for the way that they eliminated the policy.
00:10:32.120 It ended up at the Supreme Court.
00:10:34.620 The Supreme Court actually ruled 5-4 in favor of the Biden administration, but left open the argument about the procedural methodology that they use to eliminate the policy.
00:10:51.520 That's what this is.
00:10:52.640 So it's not really being argued on any more on those, you know, on the basic premise of whether or not the administration's following the law.
00:11:05.740 It's whether or not they're following the regulatory requirements of eliminating the policy, if that makes any sense.
00:11:13.460 So, I mean, that's really what this is about now.
00:11:16.600 It's not about the issues so much.
00:11:18.260 Okay, hang on for one second.
00:11:20.580 I want to bring to emphasize the point.
00:11:23.240 Let's bring in Anthony Aguero from Real America's Voice in El Paso.
00:11:27.120 Give us an update, Anthony, about the reality of what they've created as a, they say, a new Ellis Island, really the tip of the point of the invasion of the United States of America through El Paso, Texas, sir.
00:11:40.720 That's right, Steve.
00:11:41.740 Unfortunately, Judge Samaniego came out saying yesterday that it's not 4,000 people that we're going to be expecting a day down here in El Paso.
00:11:51.540 We're expecting a surge of over 5,000 people a day once Title 42 is removed in just a couple of days.
00:11:58.400 Now, in order to alleviate some of the overflow that is happening down here in El Paso, they are going to be shipping or busing, should I say, these migrants to other cities around the area, such as Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Denver.
00:12:19.560 Denver, which has already declared a state of emergency ahead of time before they are actually dealing with this giant surge of people that are going to be coming through.
00:12:30.720 Currently, the El Paso International Airport looks like a lodging facility.
00:12:38.780 Everybody's scattered all over the floor, even outside.
00:12:42.100 There are still tons of people sleeping outside, thousands of people sleeping outside in downtown El Paso.
00:12:47.440 El Paso has been already awarded $6 million from FEMA, $4 million of which they had already invested, had already spent.
00:12:57.800 So they are left with only $2 million in reality to work with.
00:13:02.880 This is just no end in sight.
00:13:05.240 And people last night, over 1,000 still on the border arriving every single hour, Steve.
00:13:12.720 It's outrageous what's happening out here right now.
00:13:14.820 So my understanding is the 5,000, not all of them are going to pass through.
00:13:19.780 Are they planning on like 1,000 a day or 1,500 a day will remain in the general El Paso area while the other 3,500 to 4,000 get shipped inland into other parts of the United States?
00:13:31.360 So currently, the breakdown is as follows.
00:13:34.820 At least 2,500 people are coming in through the El Paso sector every single day, of which 1,600 are being released into the city.
00:13:45.600 The other 900 are finding out means to get out and leave the city, sir.
00:13:50.680 So when it goes up to 5,000, when it goes to the 5,000, because it's next week, it's the 21st of December, are they still going to keep 1,500 a day in El Paso?
00:14:02.320 Is that the plan or is anybody talking about that?
00:14:05.640 That's correct, sir.
00:14:06.640 In fact, there is NGOs down here from El Paso right now looking into servicing and renting out the El Paso County Coliseum to be able to house this giant influx of people that are coming in next week.
00:14:20.840 By the way, the mayor of New York requested from the federal government a $1 billion to take care of the problem in New York.
00:14:28.600 This is because they're going to ship them right up to New York, too.
00:14:32.240 There's an invasion of your country going on.
00:14:34.280 Why is nobody talking about it?
00:14:36.640 Why is nobody at the ramparts of this?
00:14:39.020 Where is Abbott in Texas, right?
00:14:41.700 Where is Ducey in Arizona?
00:14:43.980 The Biden administration, they will get impeached for this, but that's going to take too long.
00:14:48.740 It's got to be stopped now.
00:14:50.300 Todd Benzman, Cash Patel, Anthony Aguero, next in the world.
00:14:59.240 A lot of people complain about the state of our country or the way woke corporations treat us and their employees.
00:15:05.460 But it's not enough to complain.
00:15:07.720 We need to change the way the marketplace works.
00:15:10.680 And that starts with you and where you spend your money.

00:16:35.100 And the number for the Senate is 202-224-3121.
00:16:39.160 Have I looked at my Evercrack staff?
00:16:42.960 312-224?
00:16:44.600 You're sure?
00:16:47.660 202-224-3121 is the Senate switchboard.
00:16:51.140 I can tell you, Chip Roy said yesterday in The Hill that in his, I think, four years here, or however long he's been here, two years, he's had more calls than the last two weeks in the House.
00:17:02.160 Chip Roy, I know the Senate, and we read you the quote from The Hill newspaper, the senator anonymously said, you know, we hate getting the calls from constituents that hate this omnibus.
00:17:13.100 We want everybody to light the boards up today because it gets to what actually has to happen.
00:17:18.240 Remember, in using the appropriations bill to force a confrontation with the Biden regime, the other part nobody wants to talk about is they all got to go home.
00:17:28.520 We got to have the remain, not in Mexico, but the remain back in home process after we secure this on the border.
00:17:34.580 Part two is, hey, everybody's got to leave.
00:17:36.540 Sorry, you came in here in this asylum invasion of the southern border by the Biden regime.
00:17:43.720 You got to go.
00:17:44.680 If we're going to impeach Mayorkas and impeach Garland and eventually get to impeach Biden over this, everybody's got to be held accountable.
00:17:52.140 Got to go.
00:17:52.880 And we're not blaming these folks.
00:17:54.040 They did something logical when they were misled.
00:17:57.300 But, hey, it's still got to go.
00:17:58.960 It has to happen.
00:18:00.980 Todd Benzman, CIS.
00:18:02.760 What's your coordinates?
00:18:04.620 And before we know, we'll hopefully get you back on tomorrow.
00:18:07.320 This is a daily thing we're going to be on because this we've covered this obviously for years, but warn this audience.
00:18:13.060 It is going to explode next week.
00:18:15.700 They're talking about 5,000 invasion right through El Paso.
00:18:19.440 12,000 to 18,000 was the intel report.
00:18:21.880 They're now seeing 20,000 per day.
00:18:24.700 That would be equivalent of two fully manned up army divisions a day invading your country illegally.
00:18:31.480 Todd, what are your coordinates and any last warnings to the audience for today?
00:18:38.040 Just a couple things to keep your eye on.
00:18:40.720 One is cities across the country will start to add their names to emergency declarations.
00:18:49.960 Watch that.
00:18:51.100 You're going to start seeing a federal bailout form for all these cities.
00:18:55.780 And the other thing is the administration is going to start saying things like, this is as a result of smuggler disinformation.
00:19:06.440 This is the smugglers are doing this.
00:19:08.300 It's a disinformation.
00:19:09.620 But the smugglers are actually great reporters.
00:19:12.960 They're accurate reporters.
00:19:14.380 And they're just telling everybody, they're letting you in.
00:19:17.660 They're letting you in at El Paso.
00:19:19.500 You can get in at El Paso.
00:19:20.820 And that's not disinformation.
00:19:23.080 So that's all BS.
00:19:25.220 Yeah.
00:19:25.940 Hang on.
00:19:27.840 They're also watching CNN where they're talking about an amnesty bill that's not two million, but amnesty bill for four million.
00:19:33.060 That's a magnet.
00:19:33.860 Why not?
00:19:34.260 Let me just get inside.
00:19:35.040 Let me get into El Norte and we'll figure it out.
00:19:39.020 They pay.
00:19:39.920 We're not, we're not demonizing these people.
00:19:42.740 They're, they're, they're the most rational actor in this drama because the Republican response is not rational because it's weak and it's sad.
00:19:52.380 It's weak and it's sad.
00:19:54.180 And that's because a lot of the donors want the invasion.
00:19:57.480 They want more consumers.
00:19:59.020 They want cheaper labor.
00:20:00.400 Okay.
00:20:00.860 Let's be blunt about it.
00:20:02.140 The Walmarts of the world, they got, they got no problem whatsoever.
00:20:06.760 What is it?
00:20:07.460 25 or 30% of Walmart's customers don't even have a bank.
00:20:11.040 It's all cash.
00:20:11.680 That would be the illegal aliens.
00:20:13.500 They're quite fine.
00:20:14.620 The Walmarts of the world and the retail of the world are quite okay with an invasion of your Southern border.
00:20:20.540 More consumers and cheaper labor off the books, cheap labor.
00:20:25.220 That's the scam.
00:20:27.540 These states of emergency we're going to be tracking.
00:20:29.760 All that talk coming out of Congress right now about amnesties and, uh, you know, all the great things that they're going to give the immigrants coming across is probably the most powerful, uh, incentive next to the, to the elimination of title 42.
00:20:48.880 It's a double barrel shotgun, talk out of Congress, end of 42, watch for states of emergency and a federal bailout.
00:20:58.840 Yep.
00:20:59.860 Already at New York's already asked for a billion dollars.
00:21:02.220 The mayor states are emergency bailout.
00:21:04.020 Todd, what are your coordinates?
00:21:05.300 T Benzman at getter.
00:21:08.140 Please follow me there.
00:21:09.140 And I'm on truth.
00:21:10.160 Social Todd Benzman, true social.
00:21:12.520 My book is not out yet.
00:21:14.420 It's coming in February about what started this whole thing and how it all, uh, you know, coalesced into where we are now overrun.
00:21:22.600 It's available for pre-order anywhere books are sold online.
00:21:26.740 Todd, thank you very much.
00:21:28.480 Honored to have you on here.
00:21:29.520 Anthony, what Anthony, what is your, uh, what's your coordinates?
00:21:31.860 How do people get to you on social media and follow your reporting?
00:21:35.560 Uh, you guys can follow me on getter at real Anthony, uh, follow us across on real America's voice news app and on Twitter.
00:21:42.720 Aguero for Texas, sir.
00:21:44.300 And really quick, just to emphasize on that, on, on the, on the Republican thing.
00:21:48.620 Uh, I I've given up on Biden and his administration.
00:21:51.740 However, Republicans here in Texas need to hold governor Abbott accountable.
00:21:56.300 This guy is in working directly as part of the uni party.
00:22:00.120 He is not helping the country or the state by shipping these people further up north.
00:22:05.640 He is furthering, helping the Democrats gain seats in the house.
00:22:09.960 So we need to hold governor Abbott accountable and people need to open their eyes to what this guy is really doing to, to, to, to touch on that point on, on his donors.
00:22:19.180 Exactly.
00:22:19.680 Look at the donors, the Koch brothers, open border advocates.
00:22:22.720 It's just because a guy has an R next to his name does not mean he's a Republican.
00:22:26.680 He's soft and we need to get to the bottom of it and we need to hold them accountable.
00:22:31.740 Anthony, I couldn't say it better.
00:22:33.320 Thank you very much, brother.
00:22:34.500 Appreciate you being on.
00:22:36.180 Let's go ahead and play the call.
00:22:37.020 The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed and it must happen immediately.
00:22:50.000 And here's my plan.
00:22:51.060 First, within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business or person to censor, limit, categorize or impede the lawful speech of American citizens.
00:23:10.240 I will then ban federal money from being used to label domestic speech as mis or disinformation.
00:23:18.880 And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship directly or indirectly, whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health, Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are.
00:23:39.080 Second, I will order the Department of Justice to investigate all parties involved in the new online censorship regime, which is absolutely destructive and terrible, and to aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified.
00:23:55.980 These include possible violations of federal civil rights law, campaign finance laws, federal election law, securities law, and antitrust laws, the Hatch Act, and a host of other potential criminal, civil, regulatory, and constitutional offenses.
00:24:14.580 To assist in these efforts, I am urging House Republicans to immediately send preservation letters.
00:24:23.120 And we have to do this right now.
00:24:26.060 Okay, bringing in Kash Patel.
00:24:27.860 Yesterday, there was an incredibly powerful seven-minute video from the president talking about a series of policies, Kash.
00:24:34.340 We had Darren Beatty on last night.
00:24:35.920 Darren said he thought it was one of the most powerful policy.
00:24:38.420 And we just talked about Remain in Mexico, where President Trump had a series of policies that secured the southern border to the degree it can be secured.
00:24:46.480 This was very powerful yesterday.
00:24:48.720 Tell our audience what it all means.
00:24:51.620 Look, it's great to be back with you, Steve.
00:24:53.620 It's at the center of everybody's life now, especially with Elon's Twitter files and people learning what free speech actually means and why Donald Trump started Truth Social and how fake the fake news is.
00:25:03.700 Nobody in modern history as a president or presidential candidate has stood up and put out a policy platform talking about getting after free speech and clearing off the censorship decks at the FBI, DOJ, DOD, and others.
00:25:17.560 So this is one of the most powerful policy speeches I've ever seen.
00:25:20.780 And one of the things that has to happen, that the president included in that video, is the elimination and destruction of Section 230.
00:25:27.140 And for those of you that don't know, Section 230 is a federal law that gives people like Twitter face cover when they are allowed to defame other individuals in and around America and across the world, for that matter.
00:25:42.180 That means Twitter is basically exempted from putting out lies, lies like election rigging lies or lies like they did against me and Devin during Russiagate or what have you.
00:25:51.940 And that has to come down so the American people can have a free speech platform but also can have the ability to clear their names when you are wrongfully defamed, like I was, by the likes of Fiona Hill, Alexander Vindman, and so many other fake news media warriors.
00:26:07.080 So this is a great first step, and I hope there are many more policy videos like this from the president in the coming months.
00:26:13.720 Cash, the president talked about he would do this as the first thing he would do on the 20th of January, 2025.
00:26:21.560 We can't wait that long.
00:26:22.500 What can the House Republicans in the House, in your mind, do immediately starting on the afternoon of January 3rd, sir?
00:26:30.780 Well, you know, the president touched on it.
00:26:32.160 He said it said preservation letters now, and that's a good start.
00:26:34.460 But what should be going on right now is the subpoena machine should be getting warmed up right now.
00:26:40.340 Not one subpoena, thousands.
00:26:42.660 The Democrats have shown us on the unselect committee the power of a congressional subpoena.
00:26:48.180 So send them to every free speech hater in the world, all the companies, all the people, Twitter, Yoel Roth, Vijay Agata, the whole crew, Jack Dorsey, everybody there, and everyone else that blockaded and put out disinformation, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell.
00:27:05.220 Send it to the press who put out knowingly false information to help rig a presidential election.
00:27:10.580 Once you issue those subpoenas to the private sector, at the same time, you issue those subpoenas to the public sector.
00:27:17.360 You hit FBI.
00:27:18.540 You hit DOJ.
00:27:19.720 You hit all the government gangsters at these institutions that worked with the Twitters of the world to censor and blockade free speech.
00:27:27.280 And you take their money at Congress when these government gangsters don't comply.
00:27:32.800 And the next day, they will show up with the documents.
00:27:35.520 And those documents, the corrupt emails and memorandum agreements between the FBI and DOJ and places like Twitter, I'm telling you, I've been saying it forever, are going to come out and they are going to show the level of corruption, not just in the private sector, but in the public sector like there was during Russiagate.
00:27:53.920 And it's going to be the same crew at FBI and DOJ running this organized crime, as I call it, against Americans who side with America First Call.
00:28:04.460 Organized crime by government gangsters.
00:28:06.440 Jack Dorsey said, hey, they came in and muscled him in.
00:28:08.740 It was a government-controlled operation.
00:28:10.480 Short break.
00:28:11.500 We're going to finish up with Cash on the other side.
00:28:13.060 We've got the Mike Lindell in the house next in the war room.
00:28:26.620 Offers for free iPhones are usually too good to be true.
00:28:30.460 Just like freedom itself, nothing in life is free.
00:28:34.460 Mobile phone companies not only lock you into long-term contracts, but they also build the price of the phone into your bill with hidden fees.
00:28:43.060 With Patriot Mobile, they can show you how to get the same iPhone, interest-free, without the games, and no contract.

00:29:55.080 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:29:57.740 Welcome back to War Room.
00:30:02.300 Got cash, but there's cash.
00:30:03.640 There's been two different reports by House Committee.
00:30:07.080 One, Republicans have put out about their belief that the Intelligence Committee will be able to show or knows that the CCP COVID virus started in the Wuhan lab.
00:30:19.060 There's another one just came out by Democrats.
00:30:21.700 It looks like they're using a screen of saying the intel agencies, but they're really going after President Trump, yourself, and other Trump appointees about not doing enough.
00:30:32.600 Explain exactly what's going on because this is going to be such a huge deal starting with the new Congress.
00:30:37.740 It absolutely is.
00:30:38.520 And look, let's rewind the clock.
00:30:40.040 I was Deputy Director of National Intelligence for President Trump when the COVID outbreak occurred.
00:30:45.460 And I remember myself and Rick Grinnell, the acting DNI at the time, walked into the Oval Office like we did on a weekly basis and gave the presidential daily briefing to the President of the United States.
00:30:55.220 And without getting into the classified intelligence, we briefed the President on a matter regarding COVID in February of that year.
00:31:03.060 A week later, the President, I believe, based on actual intelligence, shut down travel to and from China writ large.
00:31:11.100 And everyone called us racist.
00:31:12.760 They called him racist.
00:31:13.980 And he was acting like he always did on national security matters based on intelligence.
00:31:18.880 And what these committees need to do is put that intelligence out to the world and declassify it.
00:31:24.480 Because now there's no longer any need for that information to be classified.
00:31:28.440 I agreed back then when we were starting looking at this information, we needed to protect certain things.
00:31:34.240 But now the world needs to know where the China virus came from.
00:31:37.260 I have said from day one it came from the CCP and the Wuhan laboratory.
00:31:42.060 That was my belief.
00:31:43.400 And I'm saying President Trump acted on intelligence that was given to him at the time by Rick Grinnell and I and others.
00:31:49.900 And it was the right decision then.
00:31:51.360 And for the Democrats to come in now and do Monday morning quarterbacking and say, no, no, no, all that we have to do is get these committees in Congress to put out the intelligence and show President Trump was right.
00:32:01.580 And had the public and media reported on it correctly, here's the kicker, Steve.
00:32:06.180 Millions more lives would have been saved.
00:32:07.900 But they didn't want to do it because it was President Trump doing the acting with courage based on actual intelligence.
00:32:14.260 Do you believe you can have hearings on a declassified basis so the whole country can actually see about the Wuhan lab, the timing of the intelligence and exactly what happened here?
00:32:24.060 Do you think you can do it in a declassified way that we could learn about this more than just leaks to the Washington Post and selected intelligence supporting media, sir?
00:32:34.760 Yeah.
00:32:34.940 And here's the power of Congress, which most people don't know.
00:32:37.960 They have the authority, certain committees like the Intel Committee and others, to declassify documents from the executive branch.
00:32:44.260 So we don't have to wait for this Biden administration, which will never act, to do the job.
00:32:48.760 They can go to the well of Congress and read the documents out and never be prosecuted.
00:32:53.760 That is their authority.
00:32:54.700 They also have rules in Congress to declassify documents and reports based on public interests.
00:33:02.840 And they rarely, if ever, use them.
00:33:05.040 And that's something that people should be calling for from Kevin McCarthy, who's lining up to be Speaker of the House and these other leaders.
00:33:10.560 If you want that job, you must say to the American people, I'm going to promise to declassify this and all other information, and then I'm going to have public hearings on it so the American people can be told the truth on COVID origins and the CCP's involvement and everything related to the Wuhan laboratory and how Fauci made a fortune during this entire roadshow that he put on of false information.
00:33:34.540 Do you believe also that we can show and actually have an adult conversation about the reality, which is the bioweapons program, the offensive bioweapons program of the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Liberation Army, sir?
00:33:47.620 Yeah, I'm glad that this subject has sort of caused the media to finally cover the CCP's most lethal, one of their most lethal operations.
00:33:57.340 It's not just military operations and intel-based operations, but their bioweapons program, they literally are doing, and the U.S. under Fauci gave them money for gain-of-function research.
00:34:08.100 That's fancy language in medical speak for bioweapons.
00:34:12.660 It's literally creating the deadliest viruses in the world and seeing what they're going to do with them.
00:34:19.020 Why would a country like China want to create literally viruses you see on the movies like Mission Impossible and whatnot?
00:34:25.340 It's because they want to deploy them against their enemies when and if they feel appropriate.
00:34:30.260 So we need to get on it, and we need to start taking away the funding to the CCP that goes directly to these efforts that is against American interests.
00:34:40.280 Amazing.
00:34:40.740 Cash, how do people get to your writings and to your substack and all of it, your podcast, your show, all of it?
00:34:45.860 Yeah.

00:35:25.200 Cash, audience loves you.
00:35:26.520 We love you, brother.
00:35:27.340 Thank you very much for fighting.
00:35:28.620 Thanks, Steve.
00:35:29.260 Appreciate it.
00:35:29.840 By the way, the gain of function, the Fauci experiments took the virus, evolution 150,000 years in the future.
00:35:38.520 I think that's what Andrew Huff says in his book about the Wuhan land, 150,000 years.
00:35:42.200 Yeah, you really need that in a lab in China.
00:35:45.100 That's what you need, banging around.
00:35:47.220 Let's bring in Mike Lindell.
00:35:48.060 Mike, I've got you.
00:35:48.840 You're running for RNC chair, and there's a lot of discussion out there about the expenses and all this.
00:35:53.200 I know you were here yesterday.
00:35:55.160 You got some updates.
00:35:56.440 But I've got to ask you.
00:35:57.600 I think you're probably one of the most suppressed people in the country by the tech apparatus to shut you down and to take your voice.
00:36:05.660 It wasn't until you got involved in election integrity.
00:36:08.140 As soon as you got involved in election integrity, you became a pariah.
00:36:11.540 Up until then, it was fine.
00:36:14.060 You were everywhere.
00:36:14.640 So walk us through, when you hear, you saw the president's seven-minute video yesterday about what he's going to do when he's reelected.
00:36:22.300 Give me your thoughts on this.
00:36:24.600 Well, I think it's an absolutely long-needed thing we have to do.
00:36:29.840 And, Steve, it was even before I got all the evidence for the election with the machines and stuff.
00:36:35.600 In fact, I was just texting Alan Duke.
00:36:38.020 I said, Alan, are you getting worried you're going to be going to prison?
00:36:40.460 And, anyway, right before the 2020 election.
00:36:45.520 Hold it.
00:36:45.960 Hold it.
00:36:46.360 Hold it.
00:36:46.700 Tell people who Alan Duke is.
00:36:48.440 You just texted him.
00:36:49.680 Is he worried about going to prison?
00:36:51.440 Explain to the audience who Alan Duke is.
00:36:53.940 Alan Duke is the Facebook fact checker.
00:36:57.060 He has four employees, him and his buddy Martin, that oversees everybody.
00:37:02.380 They own lead stories.
00:37:04.140 They're the ones that cover up.
00:37:05.600 They're the ones that actually do the censorship.
00:37:08.420 They covered me up.
00:37:09.540 When I put out my movies, they said, contains nudity and porn.
00:37:13.800 Alan Duke is a traitor to the United States.
00:37:16.240 He's right up there with Brad Raffenberger and a lot of them.
00:37:20.080 But he, I'm just texting him right now, Steve, because he's had all the evidence that he was supposed to put out and he never did.
00:37:26.240 He just suppressed that.
00:37:27.320 Right before, right before the 2020 election, you guys, I couldn't even have my face on Facebook in the MyPillow ads.
00:37:37.320 It just came out that Twitter, if you had the word MyPillow, you were flagged.
00:37:43.220 They were all flagged.
00:37:44.280 He just did a dump file, what, a few days ago about MyPillow.
00:37:47.320 MyPillow, this is disgusting.
00:37:49.500 When you attack my employees, over 2,000 employees they have, and Alan Duke's been doing this for a long time on Facebook, covering up anything MyPillow or Mike Lindell puts out.
00:38:01.020 It's shameful, Steve, what they've done to this country.
00:38:04.460 The fact checkers, and the suppression.
00:38:08.220 On Twitter, you put this.
00:38:09.800 Hang on, your first suppression came out, correct me wrong, about hydroxychloroquine and about the pandemic, correct?
00:38:17.100 No, no.
00:38:18.260 When I first got suppressed was, well, at the Rose Garden speech, when I talked about spending time and reading our Bibles and stuff, that started it.
00:38:28.060 Then I came out with, I was serrativir.
00:38:31.020 It was a therapeutic that I'd heard worked.
00:38:33.040 I put millions of dollars into it to give it away, give it out, and then I was just attacked and taken down off platforms or at least suppressed on platforms.
00:38:43.400 I used to have 50,000 people live stream on Facebook.
00:38:46.740 Now I get maybe 50.
00:38:49.480 This was Alan Duke.
00:38:51.180 Alan Duke started to attack me, the Facebook fact checkers, the summer of 20.
00:38:59.100 People forget how powerful that is.
00:39:00.760 But Lindell went and gave the Rose Garden speech, held up the Bible.
00:39:04.140 Next thing you know, they're trying to ban him from social media.
00:39:07.140 Talk to me about your run for RNC.
00:39:10.480 Any latest developments?
00:39:12.020 And this is like a firefight now over these expenses.
00:39:15.580 What are your thoughts?
00:39:17.120 Yeah, well, I learned something.
00:39:18.700 The biggest thing I learned was the cost of acquisition for a donor.
00:39:23.720 Because, Steve, I was a donor back in the day with Rana.
00:39:27.560 I gave her money.
00:39:28.560 I expected me, you know, here, out of this $100,000, I would think that, you know, maybe 90-some thousand would go to the cost, not $60,000.
00:39:37.460 It's a 40% acquisition rate to be able to get the donor dollar.
00:39:42.600 In other words, $0.40 for every dollar goes, where?
00:39:46.460 Are you paying that much for your, to go out and get these donors for the people that are the solicitors for this money?
00:39:55.420 I don't know.
00:39:55.920 I've got to look into that, Steve.
00:39:57.400 If I get in there, I've also learned another thing.
00:39:59.940 Is there's no, it's not a communication structure.
00:40:02.460 As I've been talking to these 168, you know, I run a huge company, I ran huge companies, and I go, where's the communication?
00:40:11.140 How do I get to hear from you guys, the input?
00:40:14.320 So we're all making decisions together.
00:40:16.360 Obviously, 168 heads are better than one.
00:40:19.640 And they go, oh, there's nothing like that here.
00:40:21.920 There's no structure.
00:40:23.140 Maybe you call Rana's cell phone, and you're lucky if you get through.
00:40:26.060 And then she's the almighty, and she decides if she's going to give you anything or not.
00:40:32.820 It's very interesting, Steve.
00:40:34.320 She's been giving out, all the last year, a lot of favors to different states, but she never did it before.
00:40:43.460 Kind of strange.
00:40:44.980 You know, we needed all this money for states like Arizona and Cary Lake down there and all these things going on with our 2020 midterms, or 2022 midterms.
00:40:55.340 And she's out spending money on other things that she should have spent before, and then we've seen all the frivolous money that was spent.
00:41:04.740 That came out in the news yesterday.
00:41:06.260 That's everywhere.
00:41:07.560 And a lot of these committee people are very concerned over that.
00:41:11.900 They didn't know they don't have access to a lot of where the money's spent, and they hear about this when the reports come out like we all do.
00:41:21.760 So what is your pitch?
00:41:22.940 We've got a couple minutes here.
00:41:23.860 We can hold you.
00:41:24.300 What is your essential to these 168 people that make the decisions, three from every state to 150, then you get territories and some other at large?
00:41:32.900 What is your pitch?
00:41:34.620 Yeah, I tell them this is my wheelhouse.
00:41:36.960 I'm a uniter where I can put all of us together.
00:41:41.580 I'm going to view every donor like my only donor, just like I do my company.
00:41:46.320 You know, each one of these states is, you know, I'll be able to go to the state.
00:41:51.140 They want to raise money.
00:41:52.100 That's my wheelhouse.
00:41:53.120 I'll raise money.
00:41:54.060 I'll get you all the money you need when, you know, going there and doing events.
00:41:57.280 I was doing this before, Steve, for the RNC and stuff, where I would go out and speak and stuff and help bring in money.
00:42:04.500 And now it's just be doing it on a bigger scale.
00:42:08.460 That's, you know, I don't need to take a salary and I'm not going to.
00:42:12.600 I'm going to put it right back into the RNC.
00:42:14.660 So it's not money driven.
00:42:15.740 But I want to help save our country.
00:42:18.200 These decisions have to be made.
00:42:20.940 And the decisions have to be made by everybody getting everybody's input.
00:42:25.520 And when silo everything out in its own problem, here's the problem, here's the solution, and what will it manifest to?
00:42:33.300 I seen John Rich on Tucker last night.
00:42:35.680 He said it like it is.
00:42:36.700 All the inner circle, the lawyers that are there for these, who's ever advising Ronna McDaniel, they should just be gone.
00:42:46.480 The promises that have been made, when you take money from donors and you say, we're going to look into these election crimes and these election integrity, and you do zero, that's false advertising.
00:42:59.640 That's, I mean, most companies, you'd be borderline fraud.
00:43:04.460 I really would be.
00:43:05.460 And I've been telling them all, I'm going to, this is, I will be able to go to these donors.
00:43:11.000 And right now, Steve, they're done.
00:43:12.720 Most of them are going to be done.
00:43:14.220 And we have to save our party, save our country.
00:43:17.980 And I've been talking to you, one after another, and they're all in agreement.
00:43:22.480 They all, I haven't heard one yet that says, well, I have, I've had two that said they're going to stick with Ronna because she gave them money for their state for the first time.
00:43:32.680 Hang on.
00:43:33.280 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:43:34.500 Mike Lindell on the other side.
00:43:35.820 COVIDtaxrelief.org got a small retail business, almost $80,000.
00:44:00.140 COVIDtaxrelief.org got a manufacturing business, nearly $250,000.
00:44:08.000 And COVIDtaxrelief.org just got a large distribution business, almost $900,000.

00:45:14.380 That's why you have to check today with COVIDtaxrelief.org.
00:45:19.660 Your host, Stephen K. Back.
00:45:25.780 I guess we're not going to do getter.
00:45:27.980 That's okay.
00:45:28.560 Welcome back.
00:45:30.160 So, Lindell, Ron, I think they put out an email to the 168 about a breakdown of people don't understand.
00:45:39.260 These numbers, there's more context to it, et cetera.
00:45:42.220 But to your pitch of why you're the guy, you know, she's arguing on her TV hits that, hey, it was five million more votes.
00:45:51.560 She's done the best job ever in voter registration.
00:45:54.240 Big get out the vote machine and election integrity, although you're probably the expert in that.
00:45:59.380 What is your counter to that?
00:46:00.720 What are you telling the 168?
00:46:02.240 Why does it have to be Mike Lindell and why now?
00:46:05.220 Well, I've been working two years on the election called platforms.
00:46:08.900 This is the biggest problem we have in our country.
00:46:11.360 We have the most unsecure elections in the world, Steve, in the world.
00:46:17.560 And Ronna, she's not, you can't give her credit for getting the people that turn out for voting.
00:46:24.860 They turned out because they care about our country and they see what's happening in our country.
00:46:29.620 She didn't bother and go, hey, we got election problems here.
00:46:34.200 Maybe machines, early voting.
00:46:36.220 We have dirty voter rolls, everything, lawsuits.
00:46:40.140 See, there's over 50 lawsuits going on in this country right now by citizens like me.
00:46:44.740 And where's the RNC?
00:46:45.900 See, this is disgusting and this is what has to change.
00:46:49.780 You can bring out all the people you want.
00:46:52.100 You can bring out all the people you want.
00:46:53.980 But if you can't, if you can't, if you can't have a fair playing field there, if you're not having, if they're just going to add more names to it, I don't care if you turn out a million.
00:47:06.360 Hey, just type in 1.2 million.
00:47:08.200 This has to change and you have to, and it will change fast.
00:47:13.040 And by the way, see, we've been working from the bottom up with the, you know, the precinct strategy, all the precincts being filled, you work the RNC and you build it on the way up.
00:47:22.700 And now we have to fix it all the way through from the top down.
00:47:26.560 And it will, this isn't going to be a long-term change.
00:47:28.940 This is going to be immediate because we're so far ahead of the game here.
00:47:32.440 We're two years ahead of where if they started today because they have done nothing.
00:47:36.240 Okay, Mike, what are your coordinates?
00:47:40.420 How do people follow you?
00:47:41.940 How do they get to you on your journey to be chairman of the RNC?
00:47:47.480 Well, every Monday through Friday on Frank's speech on Lindell TV at 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. Eastern time.
00:47:54.620 And then you can find me on Getter at Mike Lindell and True Social at Mike Lindell.
00:48:00.500 Mike, thank you very much for joining us.
00:48:03.160 Quite interesting.
00:48:04.020 Thank you, sir.
00:48:04.540 Yep.
00:48:05.240 Yep, thanks.
00:48:06.540 The fighter, Mike Lindell.
00:48:08.220 I want to bring in Kurt Schlister.
00:48:10.200 He's a senior columnist for Town Hall, a former Army colonel, infantry officer.
00:48:16.740 Kurt, you came to Nevada right after 3 November 2020 because you're a lawyer too, kind of urgently to volunteer to get to the bottom of how Nevada was stolen from President Trump.
00:48:31.940 Can you walk us through those first couple of days when you were there?
00:48:34.520 Well, it was a real interesting thing, Steve.
00:48:37.020 I was, the day after the election, I'm sitting in a diner enjoying my breakfast, and I get a call from Rick Grinnell, and he says,
00:48:44.780 Kurt, I need you in Las Vegas.
00:48:47.080 So I hop in my fine German touring machine and go Terran across the desert from Los Angeles, and we're all meeting up at the Venetian.
00:48:56.620 There's a complex of war rooms.
00:48:58.440 I walk in and I meet the RNC lawyer, the singular, one guy.
00:49:05.840 You have six decisive points in the battle.
00:49:08.380 You know, Las Vegas being one of them, you know, Atlanta, Philadelphia, a couple other cities.
00:49:13.960 And Rona McDaniel had a lawyer there.
00:49:16.700 Now, he was a great lawyer.
00:49:17.780 He is a great lawyer.
00:49:19.140 He brought his dog.
00:49:20.200 That was nice.
00:49:20.940 But the battlefield was not prepared.
00:49:24.560 It was an absolute fiasco in the sense that it was totally not prepared.
00:49:28.580 Instead, you had a bunch of people trying to not only build, not only conduct the operation, but to actually build the logistical foundation.
00:49:37.340 What should have happened, as I've written before in, you know, columns in some of my books, is that there should have effectively been a law firm on the ground where you have a complete integrated system.
00:49:52.380 You know, you have your admin staff.
00:49:55.280 You have your paralegals.
00:49:56.500 You have your lawyers.
00:49:57.520 You have a game plan.
00:49:58.420 You're running operations.
00:50:00.080 And, in fact, I did a lot of operations running when I was there.
00:50:02.940 I was back to being a Brigade S3, trying to get things organized because it hadn't been prepared by the RNC.
00:50:12.580 Yeah, I want – Kurt, hang on for a second.
00:50:14.880 I just want to be sure.
00:50:15.560 You get there afterwards.
00:50:17.000 You get a call from Ambassador Grinnell.
00:50:18.800 You drive up to Vegas.
00:50:20.080 You get there.
00:50:21.140 It's a sense of urgency, right?
00:50:23.120 Yes.
00:50:23.260 This is an emergency, but it's after the election.
00:50:25.240 And you're telling me that none of this had been prepared weeks and weeks ahead of time?
00:50:29.920 We are very much beyond the power curve.
00:50:32.540 And, of course, I don't want to talk about specifics of the legal stuff, but, you know, absolutely unsatisfactory because that was one – you know, we knew everyone should have known, and not like the day before, not like the week before, months before, a year before, that one of the key battlegrounds is going to be Las Vegas.
00:50:52.600 One of the key battlegrounds is going to be Philadelphia.
00:50:54.780 One of the key battlegrounds is going to be Detroit.
00:50:55.860 You go down by the numbers.
00:50:57.880 And the RNC had simply not prepared the battlefield for what was coming.
00:51:05.100 Lawsuits that needed to be filed hadn't been filed.
00:51:09.480 Laws that needed to be challenged.
00:51:10.520 But more importantly, you're saying things haven't even been drafted or a thing because normally you lawyers are ready to go at a moment's notice, but you've already done a bunch of research.
00:51:19.820 You have to have a bunch of – you have to have a bunch of lawyers there with the mission and the funding and the support.
00:51:26.260 But, you know, funding that could have gone for lawyers is apparently going for first-class air travel.
00:51:34.280 You know, not how I'd spend my resources.
00:51:37.020 How long?
00:51:38.860 You know, an infantry commander, resources are everything.
00:51:42.780 We want you to hold through the break, but I have a question.
00:51:45.300 How many – you volunteered, showed up there.
00:51:48.080 How many days or weeks did you stay with the team there?
00:51:52.300 I stayed about five days I caught COVID.
00:51:54.660 We were working very cramped quarters, very long hours for no money.
00:51:59.900 And, look, I'm a civil trial lawyer in Los Angeles.
00:52:03.080 My hourly rate is freaking outrageous.
00:52:06.500 And they got a lot of free work out of me, which is fine.
00:52:08.960 And they got a lot of free work out of other people.
00:52:11.140 And, of course, we didn't even get a thanks.
00:52:13.380 Instead, you know, I have some little ankle-biting Ronan minion on Twitter complaining about me.
00:52:18.980 That's my thanks.
00:52:20.780 Way to motivate the troops, Ronan.
00:52:22.800 Great job.
00:52:24.020 Time to move on.
00:52:25.020 You're 0-5.
00:52:26.620 You've failed.
00:52:27.820 Now, Steve, you're a surface warfare officer.
00:52:30.180 If a guy failed five times in a row, is he going to steer your ship?
00:52:35.260 I don't think so.
00:52:36.400 He's going to go find another job.
00:52:38.740 Kurt, hang on for one second.
00:52:40.140 We're going to take a short commercial break.
00:52:41.360 90 seconds.
00:52:41.980 We're going to come back.
00:52:43.200 I think we're going to play the – Tucker was on this topic last night.
00:52:46.540 I think we're going to play a cold open for Kurt.
00:52:48.700 I think we also have Amanda Milius is going to join us, play a cold open from Tucker,
00:52:53.500 get back to Kurt, the senior columnist at Town Hall.
00:52:56.840 And one of the volunteers that was called to arms rallied in Nevada to try to save what
00:53:02.460 was obviously stolen from Donald J. Trump.
00:53:05.360 All next in the war room.
00:53:06.420 The years have proven that we need to be prepared.
