‘War Room: Impeachment’ Show with Bannon, Kassam, Miller

On Monday, October 20th 2019 we launched the War Room: Impeachment podcast and radio show in order to bring truth and some semblance of explanation to the impeachment proceedings against President Donald J. Trump.

Hosted by the former Breitbart News Chairman, Trump campaign CEO, and former Chief Strategist in the White House Stephen K. Bannon, the show kicked off on the John Fredricks network broadcasting across the United States and livestreaming online.

Co-hosts Raheem Kassam and Jason Miller join Bannon every morning at 9am Eastern Time to unpack the day’s events as it pertains to the secret House Democrat impeachment proceedings, with exclusive interviews with Members of Congress, journalists, writers, and top legal analysts.

You can listen to the show on YouTube, Soundcloud, on the John Fredricks network, and via the WarRoom.org website.

Anti-Brexit Lawyer Throws Tantrum After BBC ‘Delays’ Interview. The Reason? He Was Late!

Anti-Brexit loudmouth lawyer Jolyon Maugham took issue with the BBC News Channel’s scheduling of an interview with him last week, tweeting his disgust that a court decision over Brexit was given less prominence than a story about illegal immigrants.

The problem is his complaint wasn’t accurate for TWO reasons.

Maugham tweeted on the 11th:

He wrote: “Just did interview with BBC News Channel. The giving of unlawful advice to HM by Boris Johnson’s Government was pushed down the list by a story about how illegal immigrants (2 boats already today, they reported) were flooding in because our borders would be tighter after Brexit.”

But it soon transpired that not only did the BBC actually lead with the Scottish court decision in the 4pm news hour, but also that the reason Maugham’s interview was later than billed is that he was late to the studio floor.

BBC journalist and runner Robert Rea set the lawyer straight:

“No it wasn’t. We led at 4 on the Scottish court’s decision. Your interview was scheduled for 4.15, so we could pick up with the story after the quarter heads. The reason your interview was moved down was that you got to the studio floor slightly too late for the slot”.

Sadly, Maugham’s tweet was retweeted 1,200 times, while Rea’s facts were RT’d by only 2 people.

That’s social media today, folks.

BBC Classroom Show Depicts Trans and Lesbians Telling Kids ‘There Are Over 100 Genders’

Another day, another opportunity for the left to push their bizarre gender agenda on children.

A new BBC-sponsored programme “Identity: Understanding Sexual and Gender Identities” is telling kids as young as nine there are “over 100 genders” they can identify as.

When the children, understandably confused, ask about how many genders exist, the teacher responds:

“There are so many gender identities. We’ve got male and female, but there are over 100 if not more gender identities now.”

It gets weirder: 

“So we know that some people might feel like they’re two different genders, so people might think they’re bi-gender, and then you’ve got some people who might call themselves gender-queer who are just like I don’t really want to be anything in particular, I’m just going to be me.”

Uh, what?

Children were also told that gender is “who you are inside”, whereas your sex is male or female.

The programme, intended for classroom use, was “created in consultation with a Personal, Social, and Health Education experts and are designed for teachers for use with children aged 9-12”. 

It depicts conversations between British children and “trusted” adults.

The only thing these adults can be “trusted” with is being willing purveyors of the left’s crusade to destroy gender as we know it: some of the adults the children conversed with included transgender activist Leo Lardie who discussed her genitalia with the group, alongside a lesbian teacher who told kids they “might be gay” if they were interested in a member of the opposite sex “in a slightly different way than you do normally to your friends”. 

Both also appeared to promote their lifestyles to the group.

Children were also warned by their teacher that “people can go to prison if it’s shown they’re disrespecting or being hateful to people because of a difference that person perceives”.

The left’s influence on the education system, especially universities, is a well-known fact. But this goes to show how their efforts to indoctrinate children begin at a much younger age, and how no topic is off limits – not even something as straight-forward as gender.

Kassam In Daily Caller: The Media Has A Problem Covering 9/11

The New York Times began its 9/11 coverage this year with an avian appeal. The 9/11 tribute lights, they claim, are putting 160,000 birds at risk every year.

Apparently the “Tribute in Light” — two columns created by 88 searchlights — is affecting the migratory patterns of our winged friends.

That is, unless you read the article. The headline’s claim is debunked about halfway in: “But according to radar studies … the 20-minute breaks are enough to allow birds to resume their migration.”

This isn’t the first year they’ve done it, but the articles are getting longer and the shrieks are becoming shriller: “Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the yellow warblers?!”

The peregrine falcon focus is scarcely the worst of the Gray Lady’s misdeeds when it comes to the anniversary of the deadliest terror attack on American soil.

Kassam w/ Seb Gorka: Boris Can Use Emergency Powers to Enact A Hard Brexit

Raheem Kassam recently appeared on the America First show with Dr. Sebastian Gorka to discuss Brexit and the upcoming 2020 U.S. Presidential Elections:

In the clip, Kassam provides analysis of Boris Johnson’s government, specifically the prorogation of parliament and impending October 31st Brexit deadline.

He points out how those leading the crusade against proroguing parliament such as John Major have used the same tactic – suspending parliament – for “political reasons” in the past.

He also commends Johnson’s efforts on rooting out the “British equivalent of RINO’s,” those who “vote against the will of the people” by ejecting them from the Conservative Party and making them unable to stand for election. 

Kassam suggests a tactic that could be used to effect a Hard Brexit:

“In 2004, the Blair government introduced something called the “Civil Contingencies Act” that gives the government of the day a 30 day national emergency declaration that they could do to say we can’t go through parliament, we can’t introduce new legislation, we can’t introduce regulation because something is happening that has national security implications. If the left and the “remainers” are right and a hard Brexit does have those implications you can use their logic and the powers that they introduced against them”

Kassam wagers:

“We have to have a general election in the UK. The public must be able to have their say as to whether or not they want these parliamentarians who keep thwarting their will actually keep representing them.”

Kassam laments the loss of Rep. Eric Swalwell from the Democratic primary, a candidate with “no gravitas but high entertainment value”; his numerous failed attempts to make “pass the torch mainstream” and other overly-rehearsed payoff lines will be missed.

Raheem also explains as to why he thinks a Warren/Sanders ticket is likely:

“The Democratic establishment actually wants to lose this one so they can point to the socialist hardliners and go, “Look you tried and you failed. Let’s get back to our Hillary-style candidates.”

Or just watch the episode to see Raheem’s new double-breasted jacket.

Soros-Funded Anti-Brexit Group Threatens the Queen

An anti-Brexit group has issued an extraordinary statement today, effectively threatening to behead Her Majesty The Queen for her work in ensuring the democratic will of the people who voted for Brexit in 2016 is delivered. 

Naomi Smith, the CEO of the pro-EU group ‘Best for Britain’ said after the Queen allowed for the proroguing of the anti-Brexit parliament: “It would make no sense for the queen to back this deeply undemocratic, unconstitutional and fundamentally political maneuver from the government.”

“If the queen is asked to help, she would do well to remember history doesn’t look too kindly on royals who aid and abet the suspension of democracy.”

Of course the Queen is not suspending democracy. She’s actually working well within the confines of the British constitution, as explained by A.V. Dicey in ‘The Law of the Constitution’ (1885).

The scholar wrote: “The House can in accordance with the constitution be deprived of power [when] there is fair reason to suppose that the opinion of the House is not the opinion of the electors.”

Best for Britain is funded by none other than billionaire George Soros, who is believed to have donated around £500,000 ($610,000) to the effort to kill off the Brexit referendum result from 2016.

Many of Soros’s business interests are reliant upon the crony capitalism and globalism the European Union represents.

Reuters reported in 2018:

News that billionaire financier George Soros is a backer of a campaign group seeking to keep Britain in the EU added fire to Britain’s Brexit debate on Thursday, with supporters of quitting the bloc accusing opponents of plotting a “coup”.

The Best of Britain campaign group confirmed it had received 400,000 pounds from Soros.

The statement by Best for Britain today hearkens back to King Charles I, who was deposed and beheaded after a protracted disagreement with parliament.

Defenders of the statement have taken to social media to claim the statement simply means the Queen will be perceived dimly by the public, a claim not borne out by public sentiment on the matter of Brexit.

Most Britons now want Brexit delivered, and quickly.

SICK: Media Projects Adulterous, Cuckold Fantasies onto Melania Trump, Trudeau

A picture is worth a thousand words. But for First Lady Melania Trump, a picture is worth much more than that: the mainstream media’s undivided attention and a “trending” status on twitter.

The picture that sparked the media firestorm shows her in the midst of air kissing Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the recent G-7 summit in Biarritz, France.

What most saw as a stunning First Lady engaging in a diplomatic greeting with a world leader, the media saw as an opportunity to share their bizarre, adulterous fantasies about her.

1566797652-Melania-and-Justin-G7.jpg

The Guardian insinuated the image “captured the imaginations of many” and suggested that Melania was “ready to risk it all” for globally renowned soy boy Justin Trudeau.

Russian state media outlet Russia Today referred to it as “lusty”, while InStyle had a “body language expert” break down the photo in cringeworthy detail.

Analyzing her “position relative to Trudeau”:

“So she’s hinged away, and if you’ll look at her body position she’s less than I would say 8 inches from Trudeau’s body. She’s out and close up, way inside the intimate zone of space, which is 12 to 14 inches. It’s unusual that she’s not separating out from him to do that kiss. Usually what happens [in a double kiss greeting] is that the woman would arch her pelvis and her chest slightly away. I call it the social arc, because if you’re going to do the kiss you arc the sexual parts of your body away. In a formal setting like this, that is what you would do”

Even weirder:

“She’s looking with pleasure — It’s a delight to kiss you. I desire it. Her offering up, the way her neck is arched up, the way her mouth is placed up, the lips are partially pursed for the kiss”

Basically the entire media had a collective Freudian slip. 

Part of it can be attributed to Trump Derangement Syndrome: the calculated attempts to turn anything Trump-related into bad press. So-called body language “experts” were rarely used on the Obamas. (note the one time when his demeanor at a State of the Union address was described as exuding “dominance and empathy”.)

Anti-Trump activists including “serious” journalists enjoy fantasizing about the First Lady being unfaithful to her husband; it’s just another way for them to insult the president. This time, by portraying him as a cuckold, as so many anti-Trump folks have personal fantasies of, in addition to many actually being cuckolds. 

It’s patently strange how the left finds joy in the prospect of Melania cheating on her husband.  

Many Twitter users joined in, popularizing the hashtag “#melanialovestrudeau”:

This isn’t the first time a member of the Trump family has had a picture with Prime Minister Trudeau go viral. In 2017, a picture of Ivanka allegedly “swooning” over him at a White House roundtable discussion prompted a similar response:

If only the media would follow the First Lady’s wishes: “I challenge the press to devote as much time to the lives lost and the potential lives [from opioid addiction] that could be saved by dedicating the same amount of coverage that you do to idle gossip or trivial stories”.

The 8 Best Joe ‘The Gaffe Machine’ Biden Moments… And It’s Only Been 4 Months.

In early August, presidential candidate Joe Biden insisted: “The president’s words have meaning, no matter who he or she is. They are the face of America.”

By that standard, the self-proclaimed “gaffe machine” shouldn’t even be running.

He stumbled through his first campaign speech and it has been downhill ever since.

He may have a “functioning” brain according to his neurosurgeon, but a lot of his behavior suggests otherwise.

1. PARKLAND

Speaking at a gun control forum in Iowa, Biden said he met with the Parkland shooting survivors while serving as Vice President:

“I watched what happened when the kids from Parkland marched up and I met with them, and then they went off up to the Hill when I was vice president”.

Just one problem. The shooting occurred in February 2018 – more than a year after Biden’s departure from office.

He repeated the lie when talking to the press: “…those kids in Parkland came up to see me when I was vice president”. Biden even managed to provide a description of Senators’ demeanors when interacting with the survivors as “basically cowering, not wanting to see them. They did not want to face it on camera.”

2. KENNEDY AND KING

While speaking in Iowa, Biden falsely stated the assassinations of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. occurred “in the late ’70s”.

This error – obvious to most 13-year-olds – occurred while Biden was discussing his involvement in politics at a young age:

“Just like in my generation, when I got out of school, when Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King had been assassinated in the 70s, the late ’70s when I got engaged.”

But Biden was nearly a decade off: Kennedy was shot in June of 1968 and King in April of 1968.

Obviously.

3. MAY AND MAGGIE

Frankly, the differences between these two British prime ministers couldn’t be more stark.

But while discussing responses to President Trump’s comments about Charlottesville – which Biden and other Democratic leaders willfully misrepresent as a defense of white supremacy – he confused former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with then Prime Minister Theresa May.

“You had people like Margaret Thatc… excuse me,” Biden said, presumably unable to recall Theresa May’s name.

Moving on, he continues: “You had people like the former chairman and the leader of the party in Germany. You had Angela Merkel stand up and say how terrible it was. International leaders looked at us like, ‘what in God’s name is happening to the United States of America?'”

Slip of the tongue? Nope. He made a similar mistake at a fundraiser in May: “Margaret Thatcher, um, excuse me, Margaret Thatcher — Freudian slip”.

4. “JOE30330!”

During the second Democratic Party presidential debate, the would-be president botched his closing statement by telling voters “If you agree with me, go to JOE 30330 and help me in this fight.”

He meant to tell voters to text “JOE” to the five-digit number, but instead left his supporters confused about how to support the campaign. 

The campaign’s attempt to make Biden’s gaffe humorous and endearing while soliciting donations was a flop:

“In case you missed last night’s debate, Joe meant to say ‘Text Joe to 30330’ but left a word out,” clarified the campaign via email. “Oops.” 

It continued:

“The funny part is we text Joe all the time about emails like this. The next time we text him, we want him to know how many grassroots donations have come in.

“So whether it’s $3.03, $30.33, or $303.30, Joe will love to hear that supporters like you are chipping in what they can to this campaign.”

To add insult to injury, the website “Joe30330.com” is run by a Pete Buttigieg supporter.

5. ‘POOR KIDS AND WHITE KIDS’

Joe Biden clearly thinks all black children are poor, or that all white children are rich. Or both. Who knows? Probably not even Joe Biden.

Speaking in Iowa to an Asian and Latino Coalition PAC, he said: “Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids”.

His campaign declared the comments as a mistake and accused the Trump campaign of being “disingenuous” for sharing the video. The full video. “Disingenuous”. Think about that.

Then think about how many column inches or television segments would have been dedicated to such a gaffe if it came from the mouth of President Trump.

April Ryan would have been thumping the CNN news desk demanding reparations… or something.

6. HEALTHCARE

While discussing his healthcare policy at a town hall event in Hanover, NH, he informed prospective voters that “If you’re not satisfied, you have another option, high-quality options. The public option will be available in my plan”.

However, he described the “public option” as not being “quality”, instead only “affordable”. 

In the same speech where Biden suggested his healthcare plan would not be “quality” he also added that “folks in the working class … will increase their premiums”. He followed up by clarifying: “excuse me, will increase the generosity of the premium tax credit they now get.”

Sigh. The list goes on.

7. G8… G7… GEE WHIZ.

While criticizing Trump’s conduct at the G7 summit, he referred to the meeting between the world’s seven largest advanced economies as the “G8”.

G8, short for “Group of Eight”, was the name of the inter-governmental summit from 1997 to 2014, until Russia was disinvited from the group.

Sleepy Joe can’t keep up with a change from five years ago. But he still wants to be Commander in Chief.

8. WHERE AM I?

In true Abraham Simpson style, the Democrat Party’s front runner has also started to forget where he is.

During a press conference in Keene, New Hampshire, about his impression of the town, he told reporters he had “been here a number of times”. 

When asked how he felt about being in Keene (again, in NEW HAMPSHIRE), he replied: “What’s not to like about Vermont in terms of the beauty of it. What a neat town!”

So neat!

And these are just some the gaffes that the cameras have caught.

While speaking at a California fundraiser, Biden left attendees bemused when he mislabeled the locations of recent mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio as “tragic events in Houston today and also in Michigan the day before”. 

At a Delaware fundraiser, he boasted about accusing President Donald Trump of fanning “the flames of white supremacy”, telling the crowd he made the comments in Burlington, Vermont, rather than Burlington, Iowa.

Biden’s only been in the race for just four months, and this is the treasure trove he’s already delivered.

We’re looking forward to the rest of the campaign, of course. But not so much to a Biden presidency, which would inevitably lead to the former VP trying to find his desk in the west wing of a local D.C. White Castle, instead of the White House.

CNN Contributor’s Bodyguard Charged After Forcibly Removing Reporter from Speech

CNN political analyst and D.C. bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks April Ryan does not practice what she preaches when it come to the First Amendment.

The outspoken free speech and press advocate who authored Under Fire: Reporting from the Front Lines of the Trump White House and consistently criticizes the Trump administration over their treatment of the press would presumably be exceedingly transparent and allow the press access to her, right?

Wrong.

The supposed First Amendment defender was giving a speech at the New Jersey Parent Summit in early August when Charlie Kratoliv, the founder and editor of New Brunswick Today, had his camera equipment removed from the conference room by Ryan’s body guard and then was allegedly forcefully removed from the hotel lobby himself.

Ryan’s bodyguard, 30-year-old Joel Morris, has been charged with assault, New Jersey local news reports.

“A criminal complaint dated August 19 charges 30-year-old Joel Morris of Country Club Hills, Illinois, with harassment, assault and theft. It alleges Morris took Kratovil’s arm and shoved it behind his back, injuring his forearm and shoulder. The harassment and theft charges stem from Morris taking the camera, according to the complaint.”

New Brunswick Today released the video Kratovil managed to record on their YouTube detailing the incident.

“This moment in time is a historic moment, because you have to remember every time there’s a challenge to one of the amendments or freedom, you know, it sets a moment where it could go one way or the other. And if it goes in the wrong way, we lose access. We lose the freedom that the founding fathers put in place,” Ryan stated on CNN in November 2018.

It appears that her views on freedom of the press have since changed – or she applies the amendment in a double standard, dependent on political beliefs.

“When I speak, I do not have news covering my speeches,” Ryan can be heard saying in the video.

She says this as the camera suddenly moves and Kratoliv can be heard saying the following:

“Don’t touch my camera, please. Don’t touch my camera, please. Put that down. Don’t you dare. Put that down, sir. That’s my camera.”

A few moments later, Kratoliv’s equipment is moved into the lobby and he can be heard on the video telling the bodyguard, “give me my camera, let go of my camera.”

Kratoliv then says, “don’t touch me.” Multiple voices can be heard, saying things such as “out” repeatedly.

Which is it, Mrs. Ryan? Are you in favor of the First Amendment, or only when it benefits you?

Commentator Linked to ‘The Squad’: ‘America Deserved 9/11’

“America deserved 9/11.”

The words of Hasan Piker, a commentator for the left-wing news organization The Young Turks, linked to the success of the Justice Democrats group of which Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others have been a crucial part.

The Young Turks boasts over 4.4 million subscribers on YouTube and has hosted a myriad of leftist voices including Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren.

Piker’s live streamed his anti-American, terror-excusing diatribe: “America deserved 9/11 dude, fuck it, I’m saying it… Like we totally brought it upon ourselves dude, holy shit. We did, we fucking did… Look at the way that this dipshit is running his fucking mouth, justifying genocide right now.” 

The “dipshit” in question was Rep Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), a former U.S. Navy Seal and Bronze and Purple Heart medal winner.

Piker sought to rationalize his comments by discussing how the United States engages in massive arms and trade deals with Saudi Arabia.

He later attempted to row back while still refusing to apologize on Twitter:

Twitch – the platform Piker uses to livestream – has not made any moves to suspend Piker’s account despite their policy that “harassing, threatening, abusive, inflammatory, or otherwise objectionable” content is not permitted.

Young Turks founder, Cenk Uygur formed Justice Democrats, a political action committee (PAC) with the intention of unseating candidates “aligning with Wall Street over working men and women.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was the most notable candidate they helped propel to victory, though the group is also linked to Raúl Grijalva, Ro Khanna, Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Pramila Jayapal.

Another founder of the Young Turks-linked Justice Democrats is Saikat Chakrabarti, the outgoing chief of staff for Ocasio-Cortez.

Hasan frequently appears on the The Young Turks’ panel discussions and debates and produces original content on other platforms. He has over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 171,000 followers on Twitter.

A recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience with Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) discussing the role and strategies of the American military abroad prompted Piker’s incendiary remarks. 

The “Young Turks” was also the name of the regime responsible for perpetrating the Armenian genocide which led to the death of over 1.5 million Armenians.

Turkish-born Uygur has repeatedly engaged in genocide denial regarding the subject, though he attempted to “rescind” his position in a blog post in 2016.

The Young Turks has a premium partnership with YouTube and Hulu.
