On this episode of the War Room, Stephen K. Bannon sits down with former Vice President Joe Biden to discuss his life, career, and life after politics. They discuss his early days in politics, how he got into politics, and how he went on to become the first black man elected president of the United States.
00:00:28.320I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.200Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:37.980If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.340War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:49.260Okay, it's Saturday, 21 October, Year of the Lord, 2023.
00:00:53.660We're here at the CPAC Strategy Session, CPAC next year.
00:00:56.720I don't even know if it's up on the site yet.
00:00:59.100Mashlap announced it's going to be four days for $100, $25 a day to come to the most important CPAC they've ever had in their history.
00:01:07.560That'll be, I think, the last week of February.
00:01:09.300We'll get more details to you, but start playing for it now, because it'll be incredible, insane, urgent, all of it.
00:01:15.160And we're going to do a whole bunch of special things around CPAC and make sure we get to meet and greet all the War Room posse.
00:01:22.740Joined now by – so, look, we talked in the first hour.
00:01:26.420So, stay on his Twitter account all weekend.
00:01:31.340This war is about to – look, the Third World War, as you know if you follow the show, started years ago with the Chinese Communist Party unrestricted warfare.
00:01:38.860But the shooting part of this is going to get underway here pretty quickly.
00:01:42.820Make sure you understand the whole geostrategic situation.
00:03:05.880We beat them, and I think largely due to shows like yours and the grassroots support because when this happened to me, it was all done secretly.
00:03:18.700So it was really just grassroots people that came out and spoke to their –
00:03:22.640Why was it so important to take you out?
00:03:25.640They had a mission to take you out, but there was a larger scheme involved.
00:03:29.980Yeah, I actually think the Biden administration pushed it through the House Democrats and then through the House in Texas because of our 48 lawsuits, now 49 lawsuits against the Biden administration.
00:03:42.040We've had a major impact on them, what they do and what they're basically getting away with.
00:03:48.580I also just think the whole connection with the Bush team, I've been in the way of the people that they wanted to move up and control the state of Texas.
00:03:56.480People realize when we talk a lot about the golden child, you beat him, but it actually goes deeper than that.
00:04:03.500It goes farther back than that, correct?
00:04:05.240Yeah, so the first race I had was a guy named Dan Branch.
00:04:08.340So that was the first AG race that I was in in Texas, and he was very close to the W. Bush.
00:05:05.800But in this process, and I hate to say the Texas delegation, but people have been shocked.
00:05:11.600We said it would be unmasked of who's actually on your side and who's not on your side.
00:05:14.560Now, this has been the appropriations people and the armed services, but what shocked everybody in yours is that these were Republicans, or quote-unquote Republicans, right?
00:05:24.720In Texas, if we lose Texas, and look, I love Arizona and Ohio and Georgia and Florida, all these mega states, Tennessee, but Texas is the key that picks the lock.
00:05:34.820You lose the Republic of Texas, we're done, right?
00:05:38.100And my fear, particularly seeing your impeachment trial, there are a lot of Democrats down there that have R's in front of their names, just like in the House.
00:05:47.920There are a lot of Republicans out there that are really moderate Democrats.
00:06:01.040There are 65 Democrats work with the Republican they want, whoever will give them the most, and they block vote, and that Republican gets elected and then is controlled by the Democrats.
00:06:11.760So that's how the impeachment process happened.
00:15:51.880Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898, and they'll send you a free info kit on gold.
00:15:57.560The easiest way to become a Birch Gold customer, if you have an IRA or 401k from a previous employer just gathering dust, Birch Gold can help you convert it into IRA, into gold.
00:16:11.240And you don't pay a penny out of pocket.
00:16:20.840Then call Birch, because if digital currency becomes a reality, and trust me, they're on the path to make it so, it'll be nice to have some gold to fall back on.
00:16:33.180It's only worked for 5,000 years of mankind's history.
00:17:36.340So the 17th comes and goes, and the Biden regime's got to shut it down.
00:17:40.080In fact, we should have it until they come forward and are actually truthful to the American people about the cash status of the country that we actually get accounts that are not cooked, the books are not cooked.
00:17:51.200This is exactly what took them two weeks longer than they should have released it that night.
00:18:26.780If you think you can primary them, you can put up a real challenge, it's not some pipe dream, but you really can do it and pull it together, check that list because every one of those people should be primaried.
00:18:54.640You weigh and measure the TV shows, the radio hosts, the politicians.
00:19:00.660If you're not in this fight, then I don't want to ever hear the word limited government come across your lips because it's just more happy talk.
00:19:16.380We're on the eve of a whole different deal in the Middle East.
00:19:19.720I think the people's big fear is to be sucked into another open-ended Middle East war with the Chinese Communist Party and the Persians laying a trap for us and our allies in Gaza.
00:19:30.420Can you give us the unclassified – as much inside baseball as you can on the unclassified version of it?
00:19:35.960Look, it's been said often about what a colossal mess-up this has been to miss that amount of preparation and activity by Hamas, that attack.
00:22:04.600With Fallujah, the hardest combat the Marines have had since – maybe, you know, Tet in Vietnam, but since World War II, Peleliu and Terawa, these old Marines would tell us –
00:22:14.220when we showed them the movie, I made a film, it's the last 600 meters with Michael Pack.
00:22:33.880Have we mistaken – I just want to make sure, because we're obviously supporters of Israel and the Israelis.
00:22:38.220Are we looking back at the mythic Jewish Spartans of 67 and 73 and think that this IDF and this Mossad and this Shin Bet, are those Jewish Spartans?
00:22:48.900Those are – has that military become as woke as our military?
00:22:52.160Is their population as soft as our population?
00:22:54.360Are we kidding ourselves when you have to have a mission?
00:22:58.260That will be the – it will be a harder mission than 67 for the Israelis and a harder mission than the Yom Kippur War.
00:23:03.900Have we fooled ourselves about what really has to take place if their objectives are to be achieved?
00:23:11.840I'd say the age 40-plus crowd is plenty hard.
00:23:15.720And I guess the jury's out on what the rank-and-file, the enlisted ranks of the IDF do now.
00:23:23.100They will be in for one hell of a fight.
00:23:25.900If the Iranians, if Hezbollah activates, you know, Iron Dome, great defensive system, was even somewhat overwhelmed by the thousands of rockets that Hamas fired when, you know, it's reported Hezbollah has 100, 150,000 rockets up in the north.
00:23:44.640That will definitely overwhelm the system and cause significant damage to the civilian infrastructure.
00:23:49.160Isn't America – overnight, we were taken from the Houthis in Yemen.
00:23:59.620You got – Poso starts off the hour by saying – but he's been arguing all week.
00:24:03.760And finally, Putin comes out, the hypersonic missiles.
00:24:06.540Are the carrier battle groups not sitting ducks in the eastern mid?
00:24:10.600Anything that can be located today can be targeted.
00:24:13.840And, yeah, there's like a dozen attacks on U.S. forces within 72 hours in the Middle East, in Syria, in Iraq, and in the Red Sea.
00:24:24.580So the Iranians are pushing and pushing and pushing, and the Biden administration is not really pushing back.
00:24:31.600This is what a – this is – you see a systemic collapse of deterrence that started with the debacle in Afghanistan and all the woke posturing of the State Department.
00:24:45.200And you were supposed to make me feel better about this, are you?
00:24:49.120Because look at the information warfare they did with the hospital thing the other day.
00:24:52.600And look what's happening in the United States.
00:24:54.380You had a Jewish student organization.
00:24:57.640They had Antifa and everything else take over the capital the other day.
00:24:59.820The explosion you're going to see in Europe, in Paris, in London, in Paris, in Brussels, in New York, in these places are going to shock people because they're going to try to take over and win the information war.
00:25:10.700Do you think that we're prepared for what's going to happen?
00:25:13.800I think we're doing a repeat of the Carter administration right now.
00:25:35.260You're saying a Trump – we don't have that time to – I mean, that's a year – Trump's a year – we're over a year out.
00:25:42.100This thing's about to start, if not tonight, tomorrow, the next day.
00:25:44.680So a year from now, that's – how am I going to protect – if I'm going to carry a battle group in the Eastern Med, I'm not feeling great about that.
00:25:54.080Well, they are staying out of range of any of the coastal missiles that Hezbollah has parked in Lebanon.
00:26:00.360But the good thing is that Hezbollah is well within range of a carrier air wing.
00:26:05.660If they – what do you mean carrier – if they come into close air support?
00:26:08.520If we do that – if – if this is my point.
00:26:25.740That's why the aircraft carrier battle groups were sent to the Eastern Med.
00:26:28.380If a carrier – if a air wing – if a U.S. air wing comes in in any support or special forces come in in any support in Gaza for getting things, does that not – by definition, does that not trigger a broader Middle East war, which the Arabs and the Persians and the Turks, against Israel and the United States?
00:27:10.920The Hamas attack was to make sure that the Israeli-Saudi diplomatic relations peace accord, an extension of the Trump-Abraham accords, would be derailed.
00:27:22.680Do you see the CCP-Persian hand in back of all this?
00:27:31.200If they go charging in there without dealing with the tunnels, they are going to have thousands and thousands of dead – of dead IDF soldiers, not to mention the amount of Palestinians.
00:27:41.300Look, it's really – you should look at it as Israel trying to rid the Palestinians of the plague that is Hamas.
00:27:50.080Are the Palestinians want to be – are they voting that they want to be rid of the – it's Muslim Brotherhood.
00:28:41.740You should choose an air purifier like your life depends on it because it just might.
00:28:51.840More than 35,000 wildfires have devastated the U.S. this year.
00:28:55.880The toxins and particles in wildfire smoke can penetrate our lungs and threaten our health.
00:29:00.980That's why EnviroCleanse developed military-grade air purification for your home.
00:29:06.740And they just announced their biggest sale of the year.
00:29:09.700Save a massive 30% off during their Labor Day sale.
00:29:13.720EnviroCleanse is specifically designed to wipe out airborne chemicals and viruses known to cause illness, allergies, and difficulty breathing.
00:29:22.400Even toxic gases and particles found in wildfire smoke are no match for EnviroCleanse.
00:29:27.960That's why the Department of Defense chose EnviroCleanse to protect the air on board our Navy combatants.
00:29:35.660And EnviroCleanse comes with a free professional air quality monitor so you know your family's breathing purified air.
00:29:42.400Now's the time to save 30% off your air purification unit.
00:29:46.560Get the free air quality monitor and fast, free shipping.
00:31:37.140Well, Israel's been in a cold civil war the last few years with itself over judicial reform and the rest of it.
00:31:43.880So that goes towards Eric's idea that, you know, they basically just got soft and have been facing this threat so long that they got overconfident.
00:31:51.880But with the seven hours of standout and no attack helicopters sent, no aircraft sent after an hour, somewhere up in the higher echelons, they said, look, this will really cement us in power and it will unify Israel.
00:32:05.380So I don't think that it was a pure false flag, but I think it's clear that there were some slow rolling going on.
00:32:13.620But moving on to what you guys were talking about.
00:32:20.860When you had senior IDF, you had the boomers.
00:32:24.300You had retired major generals and people living in that part were manning up, calling their buddies, and they got down there hours before.
00:32:31.140It's not just the intelligence failure.
00:32:49.140Make me feel better that Alex Jones is wrong and you're right.
00:32:52.720Look, if an act like that happened somewhere where the U.S. government was also watching closely, yeah, it takes that long because militaries are bureaucracies.
00:33:02.240Okay, but brother, we don't have Burning Man happening.
00:33:41.840I tried the big – I didn't even get this to the speech yesterday.
00:33:44.600My biggest failure in my time in the White House was trying to get the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a terrorist organization, fully shut down by state, by DHS, and the Defense Department.
00:33:54.340You talk about the infiltration, we get infiltration.
00:33:56.220Well, Steve, let me throw something in here.
00:33:57.340Cash, Patel, Persians, and – go ahead, go ahead.
00:33:59.800There's huge money sprinkled around by the Qataris into Washington.
00:34:10.800Look, Obama got in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood, and it's a repeat of that.
00:34:17.100So Biden's giving money to the Persians, and they gave him 80-something million of the Afghanistan infrastructure and weapons.
00:34:24.260And so the White House and Harvard and the leftist intelligentsia is infiltrated with these Islamists, both Shiite and Sunni, and they're lying to him and telling him, we're really on your side.
00:34:36.660And so that's part of why this was able to happen.
00:34:39.580We're sending money, or Biden is, to Hamas, while at the same time they won't declare him a terrorist organization.
00:34:45.500So it shows this schizophrenic policy.
00:34:48.220So that's absolutely what's going on here.
00:34:51.300But if you expand on that, what Eric was trying to get to earlier, if you go back to 2006, 2007, and the whole war with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and the Golan Heights, the Israelis roll in with all their tanks, all their weapons.
00:35:03.720They do their artillery barrages, and they go in, and then they pop up behind them in the tunnels and defeat the Israelis.
00:35:12.120So they're going to have to sacrifice a lot of Israeli troops.
00:35:14.560They're going to have to do it like Putin did, sending in his scrubs a year and a half ago in the first wave of the invasion.
00:35:21.680Let them use up weapons, missiles, and then use that with satellites to target where Hezbollah, where Hamas pops up, and then they can send in the next wave and the next wave.
00:35:31.760So the Israelis, if they want to lose less troops, are going to have to sacrifice the first few waves for target acquisition when Hamas directed by Hezbollah pops up.
00:36:01.880In either option he just laid out, in either option he laid out, that by definition will start a general – look, the Arabs and the Persians hate each other, but they hate the West more.
00:36:48.200Because you're starting to think a little clearer here.
00:36:50.880Well, I'm going to ask Eric and you, what is another way for Israel to neutralize this threat and not walk into this trap that triggers a regional war?
00:37:30.820I think that the FARA, the Foreign Agent Registration Act, has to be expanded to include any hedge fund that takes foreign money where they're taking a 2-in-20 type management fee that all their lobbying, everything else, has to be disclosed because they're literally doing the bidding of that foreign LP money.
00:37:50.460Qatar and these guys are all over Wall Street.
00:38:13.860The answer is stop giving Iran money, and any of these hedge funds caught involved with any of these Islamic groups need to have their money seized because they're not Americans.
00:38:36.020And then you're going to find that there's money from Iran and there's money from the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:38:40.140So this is where you're supposed to arrest people.
00:38:42.480This is what the FBI is supposed to do instead of trying to put Steve Bannon and Donald Trump and Alex Jones and Eric Prince in prison because that's all they do is try to put real Americans in prison instead of protecting us from the Islamic disease.
00:38:57.060And the same argument for all the hedge funds that take money from China, from the state-owned enterprises, et cetera.
00:39:05.560The audience wants to know about infiltration.
00:39:08.480And Alex just talked about the protests and these universities.
00:39:12.420And the Jewish community is about to see, just like we're fighting on Capitol Hill who's with us and who's against us, the unmasking.
00:39:18.860You're going to have unmasked who really has your back and who does not because you're going to see all these progressive faculty members, left-wing, and all these universities, universities, all of them.
00:39:29.720You're going to see on protests to have the back of the Muslim Brotherhood, not Hamas, not Palestinians, the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:39:39.600What type of infiltration do you expect at a deeper level that the Party of God and the Muslim Brotherhood and the CCP have done with the open borders and other infiltration?
00:39:50.160What kind of expectation do you think that we're going to be hit here in the United States?
00:39:53.940The millions of military-age males that have come across the southern border without any vetting or border security undoubtedly have lots of operatives that can operate at the behest of an external actor like the Iranians.
00:40:09.460You remember even back in 1986, the captain of a U.S. ship, his wife's car blew up just outside a Navy base because the Iranians already were doing covert action in the United States.
00:40:21.880They have extensive network in the United States, the Iranian covert action, the Quds Force.
00:40:31.840The biggest money they make is smuggling cigarettes between North Carolina and New York.
00:40:52.240Alex, is this from the Straits of Taiwan, South China Sea, to the eastern Russian-speaking border, Ukraine, now to Gaza, and most importantly on the southern border of the United States and in every city, the chemical warfare of fentanyl, is this the globalist war that we have to win?
00:41:10.080Well, you said it last hour, and of course, Eric's the expert.
00:41:14.680This is unrestricted warfare, and I agree World War III started when China went to unrestricted warfare.
00:41:22.040The only question is, will it go nuclear?
00:41:23.660And again, I just point out, the American people that are conservatives and populists are harassed, are hunted, are censored.
00:41:32.200All of our good attorney generals and all of our good leaders get indicted or get investigated.
00:41:36.260I mean, all three of us have been criminally harassed and criminally investigated when obviously we're straight arrows.
00:41:41.680And so the American people have to understand that.
00:41:43.100Our FBI, our Justice Department, literally will not lift a finger to stop real Islamic terror or hundreds of thousands of military-age men pouring in here, millions into Europe.
00:41:52.400And the left is using them as a client group that they can activate any time they want when CNN goes with the hoax that Israel blew up that hospital, even though within hours it was known it wasn't true.
00:42:05.620Well, they're buried in the newspaper.
00:42:06.800So the left is playing this very dangerous game with Islam that will tell them whatever they want to hear.
00:42:11.820And the left is allied, and BlackRock is allied, and the big money is allied, and they're untouchable because they believe they're going to be able to use them to terrorize us at some undetermined point into submission.
00:42:25.380And then just like 9-11, they use the police state they set up on the American people instead of on the people that are not Americans that are here that mean us harm.
00:42:34.420So we are a big, giant target, and it needs to stop, and we need to just, as a grassroots, let the Justice Department and the government know we know what you're doing, we see through it.
00:42:45.520And when the Islamicists, when the Persians, and when the Muslim Brotherhood, because you're right, that's their real names, when they launch their attacks or – I mean, they caught an ADL employee that the ADL had inside the organization pulling down signs of Jewish hostages, and it's happening all over the country.
00:43:01.400And then they erased their website about it.
00:43:03.800That's how infiltrated – listen, the ADL, if you criticize radical expansionist Islam, you get criticized by the ADL.
00:43:12.440What in the hell is the supposed preeminent Jewish organization in America censoring conservatives in Hunter Biden laptop, but then having employees that are running around pulling down posters of kidnapped Jews?
00:43:26.800And then the Washington Post said, oh, the school bus of kids that got grabbed and the school bus shot up, that wasn't an attack or hostages.
00:44:12.240For war room veterans, you know, we have been all over the supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:44:24.620China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
00:44:29.600I got an emergency medication kit from them.
00:44:32.100The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extreme short supply across the United States.
00:44:40.620But you know that because you're a viewer or listener of this show.
00:44:45.540Now, here's the action you can take to correct.

00:48:15.760The family having formation and not the sewage that comes from the Internet.
00:48:21.020We needed – people that think like us need a communications platform that is secure, that doesn't collect and track their data, that is outside the reach of the Google and Apple universe.
00:48:31.920And so after three years of very hard work, we have now fielded a phone.
00:50:19.040If you decide your 12-year-old should have a phone, which you should, but if you do.
00:50:23.380In the Atlantic, of all places, magazine, they just did a study.
00:50:28.040They published an article showing that by the time an American kid reaches the age of 13, advertisers have collected 72 million data points on them of their preferences, where they go, what they buy, et cetera.
00:50:41.020There are 72 million basically data points on your kid, basically digital grooming, to how to sell to them.
00:50:48.960Again, this puts parents back in control of that.
