Release Date: February 28, 2025

Overview

In Episode 4302 of Bannon’s War Room, hosted by WarRoom.org, Stephen K. Bannon and co-host Natalie G. Winters delve into the latest developments surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged cover-ups, the mishandling of Epstein files by Congressional Republicans, and the ongoing global censorship efforts targeting former President Donald Trump.

---

1. Epstein Cover-Ups and Congressional Inaction

Natalie G. Winters opens the discussion by addressing the recent release of Epstein files by Congressional Republicans, criticizing the superficial handling of such a grave matter. She highlights a tweet from House Judiciary GOP Committee members that sarcastically linked the release to Rick Astley’s "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video, indicating a dismissive attitude toward the severity of the Epstein case.

Notable Quote:

“This is not what we of the American people asked for. Get us the information we asked for.”
— Natalie G. Winters [02:53]

Mike Benz echoes Winters’ frustration, describing the event as a "clusterfudge" and asserting that the released binders contain no new information. He criticizes Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the release, suggesting it was a PR stunt rather than a genuine effort to provide transparency.

Notable Quote:

“These social media influencers were invited to a series of policy briefings... but these binders actually contain his name as part of the Epstein files as well.”
— Mike Benz [18:11]

2. Media Criticism and Rachel Maddow’s Pandemic Reporting

The hosts shift focus to criticize mainstream media, particularly Rachel Maddow’s coverage of Ebola and pandemic prevention efforts. They argue that Maddow’s reporting is fear-mongering and lacks factual accuracy, especially concerning the role of USAID and foreign influences like Metabiota.

Notable Quote:

“Rachel Maddow, I tell you to fire your staff because they again have had you spread fake news.”
— Natalie G. Winters [01:03]

Mike Benz further exposes the connections between Metabiota and Hunter Biden’s investments, alleging competence failures in Ebola response and linking it to broader themes of government corruption and foreign interference.

Notable Quote:

“This company was tasked with responding to the Ebola outbreak... the World Health Organization had to get involved because you're not tracking samples.”
— Natalie G. Winters [08:14]

3. Global Censorship Efforts and UK-US Coordination

A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing the intricate relationship between UK and US censorship mechanisms. Raheem Kassam provides an in-depth analysis of how UK organizations like CCDH (Center for Countering Digital Hate) are influencing US policies to curb free speech, drawing parallels to historical British-American alliances aimed at shaping global narratives.

Notable Quote:

“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.”
— Raheem Kassam [34:26]

Kassam also highlights the role of influential figures and organizations in promoting censorship, aiming to undermine platforms like Twitter (rebranded as X) and silencing conservative voices.

Notable Quote:

“Censors and exiles here in the US are fleeing to London to use the in power government there to censor Americans.”
— Raheem Kassam [39:53]

4. Lawfare Against the Trump Administration

Mike Davis joins the conversation to discuss the coordinated efforts by Democratic Attorneys General to undermine President Trump’s administration through legal maneuvers and temporary restraining orders. He outlines how these actions are seen as attempts to obstruct executive powers and enforce legislative and judicial control over the presidency.

Notable Quote:

“These state attorneys general and these radical judges who are the French.”
— Mike Davis [46:22]

Davis emphasizes the constitutional duties of the president and condemns the Democrats’ actions as illegitimate attempts to sabotage Trump's policies, particularly in areas like foreign aid and border security.

Notable Quote:

“The President is doing his job under the Constitution. The American people support him.”
— Mike Davis [49:07]

5. White House Meeting on Epstein Files: A PR Stunt?

The episode scrutinizes a recent White House meeting where influencers were handed binders purportedly containing Epstein files. Mike Benz describes it as an unplanned and ineffective effort to release damaging information, noting that the binders revealed President Trump’s name but lacked any new conspiracy-shattering evidence.

Notable Quote:

“Phase one is information that was already publicly available anyway.”
— Mike Benz [18:11]

Raheem Kassam adds that the Justice Department’s internal conflicts, particularly within the Southern District of New York, are causing delays and stonewalling efforts to release comprehensive Epstein documentation.

Notable Quote:

“It looks like there's a civil war basically between Main justice and the New York Blobcraft branch.”
— Raheem Kassam [31:38]

6. Conclusion and Future Directions

As the episode draws to a close, the hosts reiterate their demand for full transparency regarding Epstein’s files and caution against the manipulative tactics of global censorship networks. They advocate for continued vigilance and action to protect free speech and hold those in power accountable for any cover-ups or corrupt practices.

Notable Quote:

“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.”
— Natalie G. Winters [30:08]

The episode underscores the importance of grassroots efforts and independent media in combating misinformation and governmental overreach, urging listeners to stay informed and engaged in the fight for transparency and freedom.

Transcript

[Natalie G. Winters]

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 gonna 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 got an opening rant.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not getting a free shot on 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.

[Raheem Kassam]

It's going to happen.

[Natalie G. Winters]

And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

[Mike Benz]

MAGA media.

[Natalie G. Winters]

I wish in my soul, I wish.

[Mike Benz]

That any of these people had a conscience.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

[Raheem Kassam]

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[Natalie G. Winters]

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. Been a few controversial White House stories, shall we say, and I guess today is no exception. Now we're gonna get into some Rachel Maddow pandemic, weird, fear mongering stuff. But before we do that and 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 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 in 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 rephrase 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 gonna 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 were still alive. Wonder if we're gonna 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 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. 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 Raheem. As you can tell, I'm a little heated. These people, these Hill staffers, 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.

[Rachel Maddow]

None of this is true. Public health experts, including current and former USAID officials, 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 US 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 US 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.

[Public Health Expert]

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.

[Natalie G. Winters]

You always love that predictive programming. Or I guess I should say fear mongering over the next pandemic, right? Via, what was it, one in 100 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 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, five things that they had done. They just got the ax. 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, 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 is also from Hunter Biden, RSTP World. Now, as you can see on screen right there, this company was tasked, 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 a virus using same gain of function type manipulations using the humanized mouse models of a Covid derivative. So these people never learn, Right? This is the establishment's modus operandi. They create the problems and then blame us. Right? The Inflation Reduction act, that sure did a lot to reduce inflation. What was it outperforming by 2 percentage points today? Yeah, we're so we're the experts. Trust the experts. We were only off on inflation by what, 2% 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 junior Writer, 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 lawfare with justice. Or Rather Judge John McConnell up in Rhode island in 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 gonna 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 are 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 because we were proven right. Raheem Kassam joins us after the break. We got Mike Benz, Mike Davis, Epstein going to get into that whole, shall we say, situation. We'll be right back.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

[Raheem Kassam]

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

[Natalie G. Winters]

You're back in the war room, where of course, you gotta be checking out birchgold.com 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 door knock 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 lists, 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, that threshold. I want to bring Raheem Kassam on. He has 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, 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.

[Mike Benz]

Yeah. 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 that actually means something that isn't like hearing it on msnbc, CNN or otherwise. It was described to me this event occurred, 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 Pam Bondi and 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, of the wider White House and the operation day, especially because they've got another big event there today, the arrival of Secure Starmer and the UK US conversations that were taking place today. But you know, I've got this piece up 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 White House and administration people such as the vice president, J.D. vance, such as FBI Director Cash 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. And I know that prior to this event as well, because I actually spoke to some of these people about what happened, 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, on the White House lawn. But they, it turned out that the President himself was in a room, the Roosevelt Room, with these binders that actually contain his name as part of the Epstein files as well. And that is of course, an extremely embarrassing development. 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 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 one on the front of this binder, but it turns out that phase one 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, they go in there for 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 like 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, you know, a lot of people on the Internet I saw this afternoon suggesting this is wide conspiracy by all of these influencers. Maybe they're pedophile sympathizers and all of this, it turns out it's just good old fashioned cluster fudgery.

[Natalie G. Winters]

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 Watters. So I'm just curious your thoughts there. And just to bring one other element of interplay here that you have, of course, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who's leading the declassification task force, tweeting out, and I quote, I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today. A New York Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein's phone book. This is not what we of the American people asked for. Get us the information we asked for. Instead of leaking old info to the press. 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?

[Mike Benz]

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, AG Pamboni is getting over her skis on this. You know, she, 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 positions. 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 US History. So let's live up to that promise and actually tell them. I don't want to hear that this is some 5D chess that they're playing and that, you know, they've got to jump. And it's like Elon going like, oh, I was doing this. I was doing a pulse check on these. All these people, like, 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 AG Bondi is falling into that trap. Now, listen, it's not an easy job. And this is perhaps the hardest part of the coalface you could possibly have is the Epstein list, right? It's up there with, with the, the, the JFK files. It's up there with, you know, all 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.

[Natalie G. Winters]

You know, we gotta be all over this. I'm sure Stephen K. Bannon would agree. Raheem, we got about two minutes before I gotta let you go. I'd love just your sort of general synopsis. We're gonna have Mike Benz join us after the break to walk through it in more detail. But of course, the meeting today, your your home country. We thought it would only be fitting to have you on.

[Mike Benz]

Yeah, look, I a little bit. 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 wider sense of United States national security. I also think that, you know, there wasn't enough because Sakir Starmer, remember, is the one who presided over the grooming gang scandal. He's a person who is cracking down on Christians who are opposing abortion in the United Kingdom. He's on cracking down on free speech in general. He's helping Islamists all over the country. And so I would have liked a little bit more JD Attitude in there to say, hey, we hear you, we're your friends, but these issues must be rectified before we're willing to march in lockstep with you. And while I have a second, I want to encourage everybody to go to thenationalpulse.com war room and sign up for more of our reporting.

Okay.

[Mike Benz]

Well, I'm working on some things.

[Natalie G. Winters]

All good. We'll have you back in the war room. We got Mike Benz joining us. We're going to drill down on the meeting. All things censorship like Rahim 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.

[Raheem Kassam]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Natalie G. Winters]

You're back in the war room, where of course, you got to be checking out birchgold.com 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 Bannon 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, 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, you know, 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?

[Raheem Kassam]

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've received these binders have said everything that they have is going to be up on a, on a website at some point in time in the very near future. But, you know, 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 his. 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, is, you know, 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 it looks like there's a civil war basically between Main justice and the New York Blobcraft branch.

[Natalie G. Winters]

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 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?

[Raheem Kassam]

Well, I love the line from J.D. vance when he said straight to Keir Starmer's face. I said what I said. It was. It was very gangster. He was. He said. I said what I said the UK no longer has free speech. People are being arrested for hitting the retweet button. And Kerry Starmer tried to kind of dodge and weave through that. But the fact is, Keri 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 their number one priority item was to kill Musk's Twitter Siker. 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 Keir Starmer, the gatekeeper for anyone who wants access to Keir Starmer. It was his chief of staff who created ccdh, whose own top goal is to kill the US social media giant X. And then in addition to that, in the donor reports it showed how their goal was to impact US policy about the regulation of speech. To get the US regulators and US 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 US figures. They are funded directly by Keir Starmer's UK Foreign Office, their version of the State Department in order to influence US 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. The fact is we have been Britain's pawn in many respects in this conflict about Ukraine and Russia because London money juices US politics, it juices the DC networks, this halo transatlantic relationship. Well enough of that. It was Kerry Starmer's government who actually sent a delegation to work directly with the Biden administration to have a transatlantic coordinating network to jointly censor things in the US and uk. It was the US Justice Department who funded Hate Lab which the UK Metropolitan Police uses to do scan and ban of hate speech in the uk. I can go on and on and on. In those coordination meetings, the UK 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 US 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 US 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 US 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 Graphica, the CIA front for censoring the Internet. They were the ones who censored COVID 19. They were the ones who censored Trump and all things Trump during the 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 Keira 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 UK Foreign Office is paying a British organization to kill our leading social media free speech platform X.

[Natalie G. Winters]

Sounds a lot worse than just no taxation without representation. But Mike, this really hearkens 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 Normaizen 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 UK because they can't do it here anymore. How that was really a cornerstone in that whole op.

[Raheem Kassam]

Yeah, well, there was major news actually 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 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 this 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 Victor 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 both their seat at the table and have lost their funds from USAID are going to go to empower tyrannical governments abroad to form that coalition.

[Natalie G. Winters]

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?

[Raheem Kassam]

Find me on X. It's ikebencyber, all one word. And the foundation is foundationforfreedomonline.com you can see our investigative reporting there. Thanks, Natalie.

[Natalie G. Winters]

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 who 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. The, 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 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.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month? Steve Bannon here. War Room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man. A former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets, Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself. Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future. His latest book, MoneyGPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos, bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm driven crashes, and even threats to national security. Right now, War Room members get a free copy of MoneyGPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence. This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence. I read it.

[Natalie G. Winters]

Welcome back to the War Room where you of course, got to be checking out slnt.combannon. 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 certainly got to go to slnt.com 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, a buried lead full piece in Politico talking about how Democrat AGs and their sort of lackeys are all having these like 4pm 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 want to bring you on to sort of walk through, like what exactly they're planning and just generally the lawfare strategy, how the Trump administration has been successful pushing back this far.

[Mike Davis]

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 5, 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 states 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 2 executive powers. The President is not stealing Congress's Article 1 legislative powers. The President is not stealing the Supreme Court's Article 3 judicial powers. He is exercising core Article 2 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 2, where he has to take care that our laws are faithfully executed. 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 wore 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 and 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.

[Natalie G. Winters]

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?

[Mike Davis]

Article3project.org 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 gonna work on his sub cabinet next, and then we're gonna work on his judicial nominees. We're gonna be with President Trump every day, every step of the way for the next four years.

[Natalie G. Winters]

Mike Davis, thank you so much for joining us. We'll have you back on.

[Mike Davis]

Thank you. Thank you.

[Natalie G. Winters]

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 Zuckerberg's and the Jeff Bezos, the people who think that this audience, right, that the MAGA movement is 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. Mike you got a minute?
