Well, the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China, and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
So you don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
That this is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the U.S., Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than a hundred possible cases in the U.S.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
anthony fauci
We have to prepare for the worst, always, because if you don't and the worst happens, War Room.
unidentified
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Started 12, 13, 14 hours ago.
joe scarborough
I'm kind of wondering where Virginia's leaders were and why they weren't getting out there helping people.
willie geist
Yeah, this is not a traffic story anymore.
This is a health story.
There are people making frantic calls who've been stuck in traffic for more than 16 hours now on I-95 in northern Virginia.
This is overnight winter storm.
It wasn't one inch this time.
It was several inches.
Now this morning, they're looking at ice.
We can update that northbound traffic is moving.
That southbound traffic, though, at a complete standstill.
unidentified
The Virginia Department of Transportation says it is working to get traffic moving as best it Yeah, I'm worried that we're hearing there's no end in sight to this.
I don't know how much longer this can go before someone gets seriously injured or dies.
Now let's broaden out on the entire situation.
mika brzezinski
NBC's Tom Costello has more on how the weather is wreaking havoc on travel across the nation.
unidentified
But this morning, the day after that massive winter storm, thousands of stranded travelers are hoping for a massive melt.
Heavy snow slammed the South up through the Northeast, compounding the challenges for airlines and the TSA, already scrambling to deal with staffing shortages because of COVID sick-outs.
I'm trying to fly back home.
I've been out since 3 in the morning this morning, and my flight got changed twice.
At Washington Reagan Airport on Monday, 87% of departing flights cancelled.
The most of any airport in the country.
The aftermath?
Hundreds of bags piled up, waiting to be claimed and reconnected with their owners.
And this current iteration of hate, in this moment, as you kind of unpack what the unthinkable is,
There's no question that this country has a history, from the treatment of the indigenous people when this nation was founded, to the enslavement of Africans that have so characterized, you know, the growth of the country in the 17-1800s, to the present persistence of Jim Crow, and the unwillingness to accept immigrants, whether they were Asian-American or Jews, like my forebears.
Hate has been an issue for a long time, and it isn't new, as you're pointing out.
And yet, the other frightening thing that's happening today is you're seeing hate now being used, spoken so openly by the former President of the United States, and by his acolytes like Steve Bannon and the others, who are literally making this overtly their open way they hope to govern in the future.
And, you know, people like Steve Bannon are very open about the fact that they want to dismantle the state.
And committed to a kind of anarchy.
So I think that is so profoundly troubling and there's another thing we need to point out.
What's new about today, what makes this so insidious, is the willingness of social media, which has so now dominated our public debate, to amplify the most intolerant voices.
Because look, in the 1960s, when Dr. King was coming into the fore, there were certainly intolerant politicians in the South, if you will.
There were people like the John Birch Society, the KKK, who railed against him.
But it wasn't necessarily easy to find those people, for example, on the equivalent of Morning Joe.
But today, thanks to Facebook, those voices are amplified.
To hundreds of millions of people, not on a daily basis, not on an hourly basis, but minute by minute, with none of the filters and none of the checks and balances that we used to have.
So I think that amplification is deeply frightening.
And if you think about everything from the anti-vax movement to, again, this kind of political extremism to the ugly illiberalism, social media is a big determinant in why we have these problems.
The Green Bay Sweep is one of the most famous plays in the history of the NFL.
The big idea that Vince Lombardi had was a play that basically the defense knew was coming.
However, you could not stop it.
There was nothing you could do to stop the Green Bay Sweep.
John Madden talks about in the second Super Bowl how demoralizing it was for the then Oakland Raiders, That they could not stop this play that was being run over and over and over again.
And this is exactly how Republican philosophy and Republican strategy works, particularly in the Trump era.
We all know what Trump is going to do.
There are no secrets.
As to what play Trump is going to run next.
The issue that we have as Democrats and as people who care about democracy is how do we stop it?
And I think what Steve Bannon was saying, what Peter Navarro was saying, what Newt Gingrich was saying was that what we want to do is telegraph all our moves ahead of time and then watch as our opponents become demoralized with their inability to stop it.
steve bannon
Wow, that is one of the most profound, that analyst on, I think it was the Ari Melber Show, incredibly insightful.
Okay, it's Tuesday, the 4th of January, the year of our Lord, 2022.
You're in the War Room.
125 million downloads in the podcast.
Of course, we want to thank all of our distribution partners because we're live throughout the nation and the world.
Real America's Voice, all of the sites they've got us on from cable to satellite to all the different sites.
I want to thank G News and GTV for obviously for their Mandarin and the Japanese and putting it out throughout the world.
I want to thank that.
And of course, John Frederick's Radio Network.
We're everywhere.
On radio, of course, you get all the chat rooms.
We're on Getter Live.
We're up on Rumble.
We're on Real America's Voice at warroom.org.
You can go, I think there's a half a dozen to ten of the live chats, and people have kind of found their own posse over there.
I want to make sure that everybody's there.
The first, before we get into the show, we've got so much to do today, and so many great guests, and so much different verticals and news to cover.
Physician, heal thyself.
We're here in the imperial capital, right?
When they say Northern Virginia about this, about the traffic on it, but look, we had, I don't know, six or eight inches of snow.
Morning Judge said a couple inches.
That's the Washington, D.C.
metropolitan area.
Remember, the seven of, I think, the nine wealthiest counties in America are the suburbs that surround, or five of the top counties are the ones that surround Northern Virginia and Maryland.
This is because it's the imperial capital.
This is because your budget, your annual budget is $5.2 trillion.
Right?
This is where all the lobbyists, this is where all the, this is where the administrative state calls home.
Physician, heal thyself.
We're the anti-anarchy.
You pitch yourself on stability and order, and we're saying, you're chaos, you're anarchy.
Don't ask Steve Bannon, just look in your own personal life, whether you're sitting in an airport, or whether you've got a school saying one thing, the CDC saying another thing, the FDA saying another thing, Tony Fauci saying one thing.
Don't look to us, look to your own life, and look at what they're telling you every day.
They're the anarchists.
In the latest poll, CNBC's got a poll up this morning, we went through the polling yesterday, Trump is up 5 points on an aggregate RealClearPolitics basis, up 5 points on Joe Biden.
Up 5.
The latest poll, I think he's up 8.
But that's the aggregate of the 7, 5, or 6 in polls.
There's a new poll out this morning of CNBC.
You wouldn't know it by watching CNBC because they won't talk about it on air.
You gotta go to their website.
His disapproval of the economy is 60%.
His handling of inflation, wait for it, negative 72% people think he's handling inflation wrong.
The American people are tired of the anarchy, they're tired of the chaos, they're tired of the disorder.
Where is Pete Buttigieg?
You've got 6 inches of snow, and you can't get from Washington D.C.
to Fredericksburg 15 or 16 hours, and on morning MECA, On Morning Mika, she's sitting there with a crocodile, and she should.
There are parents and children in those cars.
And the airports are not because of the snow.
That was a storm that came through in a very tight bandwidth through a couple of states.
That's because of COVID.
That's because of Tony Fauci says, hey, it could be five days, but it might be 14 days.
I don't know.
You got to test on the outside.
Nobody knows.
And don't look to me.
Think about right there.
What are actually the requirements?
What do I have to do?
You don't know.
You know why?
Because it's chaos.
It's chaos.
The administrative state is not working.
That's what I've said.
It has to be deconstructed and rebuilt.
Okay?
It has to be deconstructed and rebuilt.
No, we're the anti-anarchist.
You have brought anarchy.
Look at Northern Virginia on six inches of snow.
Look at the airports throughout the nation.
Look how many holidays were ruined.
Just in your own lives.
That's why this show gets bigger.
That's why more Democrats listen to this.
And look at what the nation's saying.
Elections have consequences, and stolen elections have catastrophic consequences, and look at the catastrophe this illegitimate regime has brought on this nation.
And look in your own personal lives.
Don't look to us, look at your own personal lives.
But it's being manifested in poll, after poll, after poll, after poll.
And whether it's talking about the economy, or the people talking about immigration to the border, We're going to have Carrie Lake on later, running for governor of Arizona.
She's got something to say about that.
I want to go first to want to bring in Jane Timken, rugby player from Harvard, who's running in really one of the toughest primaries in these United States.
The Ohio primary for Republican primary for Senate.
You got Josh Mandel, you got J.D.
Vance, you got Jane Timken.
Huge endorsement this morning.
Jane Timken, thank you for joining us.
Elise Stefanik, A rising star, head of the conference, blew out Cheney, endorsed you today.
Tell us about that.
Tell us about your relationship with Stefanik and why Elise Stefanik decided to get involved in this in this really dogfight out in Ohio, ma'am.
unidentified
Oh, well, thank you.
Thank you for having me.
You know, Elise Stefanik is a warrior.
She's been a champion for the America First agenda.
She's been Donald Trump's ally.
And she knows me as someone who's been in the trenches, who's been fighting for our conservative cause.
Who has the pulse of the grassroots, who has the great momentum in this race.
And it is a dogfight.
And I'm not afraid of this fight.
I'm not going to back down.
steve bannon
Are you tough enough?
Jane Timpkin, you've got Josh Mandel, who's a former Marine, a tough hombre.
You've got J.D.
Vance, probably the intellectual populist from Yale.
You know, hillbilly elegies.
Are you tough enough to take those two guys on?
unidentified
Absolutely.
Look, I ran the Ohio Republican Party.
I took on John Kasich, which was a machine in Ohio.
They told me not to do it.
And I said, I'm doing it anyways.
And I had President Trump's backing and support to do it because we needed to change.
We needed to listen to the American first grassroots conservatives.
And that's how I ran the party.
That's how I'm running this campaign.
And look, These guys, you know, Josh Mandel says he's a Trump warrior, but he was never in the battle.
He was nowhere to be found in 2020.
And J.D.
Vance has said terrible things about President Trump, and he's suffering the consequences from it.
I am in this fight for Ohio and for our country, and Elise knows that.
And she's tough as nails, and I'm tough as nails.
We need smart people who will not play Lucy with the football with the Democrats.
steve bannon
Okay, the only reason, Biden's pollings, and by the way, they're turning on Biden right now.
For their own political survival, they're going to do it.
For their own political survival.
And I said this the other day, they've got one trick left, because right now, they can't get Bill Beckbrook through, they've got to think about some stimulus plan, the economy's going to implode, inflation's out of control, so what they have to do is they have to grab the election apparatus at a federal level.
So now, in the Senate, They're going to come in on the filibuster.
The only reason Biden is not off life support is Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate.
They gave him the infrastructure bill.
They let him kick the can down the road on the continued resolution to fund the government, which they should have been forced to shut down their own government.
And they gave him $3 trillion cap, the $500 billion in October, and $2.5 trillion in October.
If you're in the Senate, Jane Timken, what are you going to do about Mitch McConnell?
unidentified
I'm right.
I'm running for the Senate to fight for the America First agenda.
We need strong conservatives who are not going to back down to the Democrats and play Lucy with a football.
Look, we let their nose get under the tent in the infrastructure bill.
I've been out there railing against it.
And look, I said as soon as they didn't get bill back broke done at the end of 2021, the first thing on their agenda would be This election reform, or as I call it the for the Democrats plan, because this is their last hope, because they know they're sinking.
They know their ship is sinking.
And this is how they want to keep and control power in Washington, D.C.
is if they change the rules.
The Democrats are famous for it.
Every time they don't get their way, they change the rules.
Tim Ryan, my Democrat likely opponent, just yesterday said, it's time to blow up the filibuster.
This is what they do.
And you talked about anarchy.
The Democrats are the ones that push to change the rules, which delivers anarchy in this country.
Republicans are about rule of law, and I'm not going to back down to the Democrats.
steve bannon
Jane, just hang on for one second.
Jane Timken in Ohio just got the endorsement of Elise Stefanik, the conference chair in the House.
Short break.
Back with Jane Timken.
We're going to have Jim Marchant, running for Secretary of State in Nevada.
Dan Schultz, Carrie Lake, Bianca Gracia.
We're packed in the first hour.
unidentified

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

Okay?
Little Christmas is coming up, right?
Epiphanies the 6th, still got plenty of time.
We would play that great Christmas music, but because people are so jacked up when we got back here, we had to go back to the regular programming.
Okay, Elise Stefanik, who is not controlled opposition.
Elise Stefanik is a warrior.
Huge endorsement today in Ohio of Jane Timpkin, another fighter.
And you got a couple of fighters.
This is probably the toughest primary.
And we love competition.
You got Josh Mandel, you got Jane Temkin, you got J.D.
Vance hammering it out, out there in Ohio.
Stefanik today comes out with a major endorsement of Jane Temkin.
And Stefanik, I want to make the other story.
Just in the news, John Solomon got the buried lead.
She had this interview.
She said, everything's on the table when we take over in November, including impeaching Joe Biden.
First order of business.
Okay.
Ted Cruz said yesterday he's got a whole list of things he's already working on.
Everything's on the table.
That is why this election is so massively important.
Everybody's got to put their shoulder to the wheel.
Stefanik's on it.
Gene Timpkins thrown heart and soul into it.
So Jane, before I let you punch out, what would be your recommendation to the Senate Republican?
Rob Portman is the guy that came up with the, you know, no, no, no, uh, uh, you know, if Portman, we owe Portman the infrastructure bill, which the 19 collaborationist that work with Biden, the reason he's on life support is because of Republicans in the Senate.
So Jane, when you're in the Senate, what are you going to do about it?
unidentified
Well, look, it's all about our agenda.
It's it's we've got to stick together as Republicans and fight against the Democrats.
I plan on us taking back the majority in the House and Senate, and we're going to have to reverse all of the disastrous policies of the Biden administration and the Democrats.
And it's going to be our top priority to get our country back and get our economy going, secure our border and put the American workers first.
We have disasters in our country right now because the Democrats cannot lead.
And we all know that the government-focused leadership that the Democrats have is wrong for this country.
And I'm going to be fighting shoulder to shoulder with my fellow Republicans.
And my message to all of them is, we have to stick together.
We cannot cave to the Democrats.
And no matter how much we talk about bipartisanship, that sounds great.
But our country's at stake right now and we have to fight like heck to make sure that we keep this country and keep it from the hands of the Democrats because they are systematically destroying this country and the American people know it.
steve bannon
Jane, how do people find out more about you?
How do they find out more about your campaign?
unidentified
Jane Timken for Ohio.com and Jane Timken OH.
steve bannon
Jane, thank you very much for coming on today and congratulations.
Quite an endorsement of Elise Stefanik, the fighter in the house.
Thank you, ma'am.
unidentified
Thank you for having me.
steve bannon
Timken, Mandel, JD Vance.
It's a heck of a, you know, you got Missouri, you got Ohio, you got Arizona.
They got some, they got some fantastic, Alabama's now a race.
You got some fantastic primaries.
Okay, we got the CNBC clip.
The fear of God putting them by the war room.
Right, we're coming on the clip.
They just played the clip.
Let's play the clip of what CNBC, about this new poll.
Let's hear it.
unidentified
The Biden presidency approaches the one-year mark.
CNBC and Change Research surveyed voters on the state of the economy and whether they're better off now than they were a year ago.
Kayla Tausche joins us right now to break out the results.
Kayla, good morning.
Good morning, Becky.
In short, voters do not think the economy worked for them in the last year, according to respondents in CNBC and Change Research's poll, which was conducted between December 17th and 20th.
The economy, the top issue for nearly every demographic.
And despite a new pandemic surge, COVID-19 fell to the sixth overall concern as the supply chain, inflation and jobs continue to be top of mind for voters.
73% of respondents say the economy is in poor shape or not in good shape.
And the president's grades on those issues reflect that.
He gets a C on the stock market, jobs and infrastructure.
But respondents gave him a D on the economy overall, personal finances and helping the middle class.
An eye opening response considering the $1.9 trillion American rescue plan that expanded programs to help alleviate pandemic stresses and help pay bills.
But respondents weren't sure that helped.
58% of President Biden's voters and 99% of voters who cast their ballots for President Trump said that law made no difference or left them worse off.
And voters Not surprisingly, at odds on what policies will grow the economy and create jobs going forward.
Biden's voters largely say the bipartisan infrastructure plan and the stalled Build Back Better proposal will do just that, but President Trump's voters say they won't.
Looking out over the next year, 52% of respondents say the economy will only get worse, not better.
Okay, we'll get into the crosstabs.
steve bannon
52% is worse than that.
I think 72% terrible handling of inflation.
The crosstabs, remember, it's independents.
They're the proxies for the American people.
The Democrats and Republicans are so partisan.
We keep saying, look at independents, they're a proxy.
And he's got the worst numbers in history among independents.
They threw $1.9 trillion, which we said, on the dumpster fire.
That's caused the demand pull inflation.
And he's got supply push inflation because he's got the supply chains Collapsing.
He hasn't taken care of the structural problems, and Pete Buttigieg is wandering around somewhere, who knows where, probably still on parental leave.
Oh, hey Pete, Transportation Secretary, the airports have thousands of flights canceled every day, you got people stuck in traffic 24 hours later, and kids in Virginia on the highways, in Washington D.C.
metropolitan area.
Will somebody in the Biden administration go to work?
You keep saying you want the administrative state to work, well prove it!
Prove it!
Don't look at me, look at those numbers.
Embrace the suck.
You tell me, after all that money they spent and threw on this thing, and that's his numbers?
Democrats understand, if you want to survive, you gotta abandon ship now.
And the only reason is on life support.
Think about if they didn't have that infrastructure bill to talk about, which was given to me by 19 collaborationists in the United States Senate, led by Mitch McConnell.
And if they hadn't increased the debt ceiling, if they hadn't kicked CR down the road, they'd be shutting down their own government right now.
It's so obvious these people are out of control.
They're incompetent.
They've caused chaos and disorder.
It's not me saying that.
It's the American people saying that.
This is CNBC.
This is not Trafalgar.
This is not Richard Barris.
This is not Breitbart.
This is not a war room poll.
Right?
This is CNBC!
And you notice they're not playing that thing all day long.
She's not hitting every show.
Okay, let's go now to Jim Marchant.
We got Jim running for Secretary of State out in Nevada, but he's back here in D.C.
Very important conference going on, put on by Mark Meadows, the guy for Secretary of State.
Jim, tell us what's going on right now at this conference.
Why is it important for everybody to focus on what you guys, you Secretaries of State, are doing the next couple of days?
jim marchant
Yep, what we're doing, we're having a great conference put on by Conservative Partnership Institute.
Mark Meadows, Jim DeMint, of course, heads that up, and Cleta Mitchell is the one that's organizing this seminar.
And we're going to discuss a lot of ways that we can influence the next election in 2022, a lot like what happened here in Virginia.
We're going to learn about it, and we're going to try to export it all over the country.
And I'm very anxious to learn and implement this in Nevada, because we certainly need it out there, because we are the granddaddy of them all, like you said, in Nevada, as far as election fraud.
steve bannon
Jim, are you, do you also have, are these other Secretaries of State also there?
I know you guys and Fincham have put together this kind of group, I think it was six or eight, particularly battleground states, Secretaries of State that are thinking of one mind.
So walk us through what progress you're making on that.
jim marchant
Yeah, exactly.
We do have a coalition that we formed on May 1st, and it's a coalition of America First Secretary of State candidates around the country.
And yes, some of them are here, and we're doing other conferences around the country right now, and very successful.
We're getting the word out.
The people are excited that there's somebody doing something behind the scenes to try to fix 2020, like President Trump said.
You know, we've got to learn What they did in 2020 in order to go forward and keep it from happening in 2022.
So that's what all of our, all of these hearings are for, and seminars.
steve bannon
Jim, is there any way, as you guys are meeting over there, is there any way that people, you know, Cleta Mitchell's the great, you know, not-for-profit lawyer.
Is there any way people can get access?
Are they going to live stream?
Are they going to hear you talk and talk about Nevada and these other secretary states?
How do people get access to this conference?
jim marchant
You know, that's a good question.
I don't know.
I think this is more of a private bringing leaders together to have an inaugural meeting and discuss what's going on in each of our states and kind of come up with solutions.
Yeah.
So that's exactly what's happening.
steve bannon
You know, the left is right now, they're saying, oh, this is the rise of fascism.
Virginia showed we had 95% participation among election officials, people in the room watching the count, and 95%.
In 2020, we had 33%.
In the last gubernatorial, they had 25%.
When we have people in there watching what they're doing, you're going to get a fair count.
As long as you can get rid of these mail-in ballots, you're going to have a fair count.
Jim, real quickly, how did they find out about your campaign and find out about you?
jim marchant
Yeah, jimmarchant.com, J-I-M-M-A-R-C-H-A-N-T dot com and love to have your support and donations and volunteers and keep track of what we're doing.
We're making a difference out here as far as election integrity.
steve bannon
Jim, we're going to have you back on later after the conference.
Have you back on later this week.
Jim Marchant from Nevada leading the effort on this organization of Secretaries of State.
Never again are we going to have a 3 November.
Quick commercial break.
Kerry Lake from Arizona.
Dan Schultz on the Precinct Committee Strategy.
unidentified
All next in The War Room.
I want to just put up one more example.
We've covered this story before.
I know you've touched on it in your career, but it's really hard to get your mind around.
Take a look at this from the World Inequality Report.
This shows 50% of the population basically has 2% of the wealth.
10% has 75% and then the 1% right when you look at the inequality at the far right, the 1% for itself.
Has 38% of all wealth in the world.
I'm wondering if you can give us any thoughts, Senator, on what does it mean for the body politic?
steve bannon
Here's what it means for the body politic.
This is a great article out of Politico.
The Fed's doomed day's profit.
Had a dire warning about where we're heading.
About Thomas Hoenig.
We talked about this over the holidays.
Barack Obama, the most progressive president in history, started the greatest concentration of wealth in history with the crash of 2008.
We've never recovered from that.
And they've had the Federal Reserve – the Federal Reserve took the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve from $880 billion on the day of the crash in 2008.
To 4.5 trillion when Donald Trump raises his hand.
That was to infuse the system with cash.
Infuse the system with cash to basically save assets, save the big real estate guys in the stock market.
And they got bailed out.
The greatest concentration of wealth to the 1% in the history of any nation on Earth happened in the Obama years.
Only to be topped by what we've done during the Chinese Communist Party virus.
And now you have an out-of-control, we have $28.3 trillion on the books.
Remember, that doesn't include what's on the books of the Fed.
They got $9 trillion over there.
Quantitative easing.
And let me just make sure everybody understands this.
And please, Democrats, please, working-class Democrats of every ethnicity, race, religion, please listen to this.
This is why you're nothing more than a Russian serf.
They're continuing it on.
When they do this quantitative easing, they're printing money.
That's all on your shoulders.
They can't sell the bonds.
They're not going to raise taxes on the wealthy.
The Democratic Party is a party, the party of the super wealthy and plebeians.
And that's the way they want it.
They've destroyed the middle class.
With help with the, don't get me wrong, the Uniparty, Establishment Republican.
Mitch McConnell's the guy that let him kick the debt ceiling down the road.
They're crushing you with their financial policies.
And Ari Melber and these guys on MSNBC, you gotta embrace it, dude.
Obama's policy started it and Joe Biden was his, they put Joe Biden there as kind of parental supervision from the Wall Street guys because he's from Delaware where all the globalist corporations are.
He's a senator from Delaware.
He's a senator from, I mean, Delaware is essentially a federal court and a post office box for all the global war corporation.
That's essentially the state.
Sorry, Delaware, but that's what you are essentially.
And that's what Joe Biden represents, and that's why he was on the ticket as a neoliberal neocon to watch this fire-breathing young populist called Barack Obama.
Anti-war populist, I might add.
Barack Obama.
And now you're seeing in his administration, more out of control.
It's not just the face amount on the federal debt, it's also what the Federal Reserve's doing.
They are devaluing the currency every single day, and they're putting you in serfdom.
And now they're sitting there whining, hey, you guys are the ones, that's why I say, I want to tax the wealthy, big league, and I mean big league, not what they're talking about, because they're all progressive Democrats, why shouldn't we?
Let them pay for it.
What are you talking about?
We can't tax the wealthy because the donors of the Republican Party, sorry, you back McConnell, you guys, the donor class backs McConnell, and McConnell's the one that gave him the runway.
It's outrageous we raised the debt ceiling, and we didn't have a national debate on what it means.
You've got Honig, you've got Richard Fisher down there, the governor in Texas of the Federal Reserve, down in Dallas.
We've got the minutes.
These guys are smart.
Read the political article.
They've got a book coming out.
They've got a book coming out called Easy Money.
Is money easy for you, and your life is money easy?
Have you noticed that it's money easy for you?
No, it is not.
It's easy for the fat cats.
It's easy for the oligarchs.
It's easy for the plutocrats.
It's easy who controls this apparatus.
Wall Street and their hired help down here is the permanent political class.
Republicans and Democrats.
This is ridiculous.
It was never meant to be like this.
And you were never meant to be impoverished.
And that's why we're winning in the Rio Grande.
We have Bianca Gracia.
Look across, what did CNBC say?
The buried lead.
Nearly every demographic.
About the negative vote on this new CNBC poll about Biden's handling of the economy.
Nearly every, the buried lead.
Nearly every demographic.
African Americans are being crushed.
Working class Hispanics are being crushed.
You're being crushed more, because they've got an invasion of the southern border.
You know what that's for?
The Wall Street guys want the cheap labor and don't pay their health care, let the health care system collapse, let the education system collapse, and the working class Hispanics down the Rio Grande Valley.
That's why we're winning down there, and we're gonna win down there.
This is the thing itself.
Okay, and to talk about closing the southern border.
Now some governors want to say, or people running for governor, we've got Cary Lake down in Arizona.
Cary, talk to us.
We can't, we got the analysis you showed us, but I guess the Arizona Republic, you're going to have an article up there, but walk the audience through.
You're going to have an op-ed out today.
What is this going to say?
What is this going to, like, I don't know what the over and under is the Arizona Republic's going to print at Cary Lake.
unidentified
That's the point.
Op-ed, but hey, hey, I'm just, go, go with God.
steve bannon
I appreciate your comment.
Walk us through exactly what you're trying to do.
What is this proposal?
kari lake
Well, it's my policy on the border, and I gave an advanced look to Brandon Judd, who is the leader of the Border Patrol.
He says it's really one of the best he's ever seen and it will help solve the crisis that Joe Biden has caused on the border, truly.
You know, you've heard me say, Steve, I'm going to finish Trump's wall.
That's in here.
We will finish Trump's wall, but we have to do more than that.
unidentified
We need to push up against the federal government.
steve bannon
People pay enough taxes.
How are you going to pay for it down in Arizona?
How are you going to pay for this?
kari lake
Well, we have a $600 million budget surplus, right?
And depending on, you know, who you ask, how much it's going to cost to build the wall.
We can afford the wall.
We figure it costs about $300 million.
But more importantly, we're going to take money seized from the cartels to put toward it.
And then we're going to send the federal government a bill.
Additionally, I'm going to ask the Arizona Legislature to make it a priority to redefine what it means to have abandoned federal property.
I know you've seen the video, Steve, of all of the materials that are just sitting abandoned along our border.
We will redefine that as abandoned federal property, and we will use those materials that we, the people, paid for to finish construction of the wall.
We can do this.
We must do this.
In addition, we need to have a compact, an interstate compact with other like-minded states to take on securing our border, to hell with what the federal government says about it, because they're not doing Well, it doesn't just have to be states that are right along the border.
Other states could get involved as well.
steve bannon
So what the compact the compact, let's assume that Newsom in California and the Democrat governor in New Mexico, not that happy with your compact.
So you in Texas, tell me what you in Texas, you and Greg, if you're governor, what you and Greg Abbott are going to do.
kari lake
Well, it doesn't just have to be states that are right along the border.
Other states could get involved as well.
You know that every state is now a border state because what happens doesn't remain here and go.
We are going to allow our National Guard, our state National Guard.
And we're also going to be getting the the Arizona Rangers back into the mix as well.
We're gonna allow them to arrest and deport people who come here through Joe Biden's border, through his porous border.
We're gonna allow them to shoot down drones coming in from Mexico, to destroy any tunnels that are discovered.
We are going to take on Securing our border, and we're doing it without the federal government.
We don't need their permission.
We'll let them know what we're doing.
steve bannon
How are you going to arrest people for trespassing?
I mean, how are you going to arrest people in a state?
Go ahead.
kari lake
Yeah, they'd arrest them for trespassing, and they can hold them four to six months on that.
But we're also going to be working with the Mexican government, and we're going to discuss with them ways that we can send people back across the border.
This is really an effort, Steve, to get the federal government to react.
And they're going to sue us, obviously, but we want that day in court.
We want that day in court.
steve bannon
Right now, all the polling shows we've got working class Hispanics more than ever that are coming our way.
We could get 50% of the vote or more.
My target is more than 50% of the vote in 2022, working class Hispanics.
Are they buying into this?
Are they going to buy into this program?
Are they buying into this program?
Do you have an advisory board?
Have you reached out to the Hispanic community and talked to folks about this?
kari lake
You know what?
I don't think it matters what your skin color or your background is.
Nobody wants to have fentanyl pouring across the border.
Nobody wants to have millions of people pouring across.
We don't know who they are, what their background is, if they have a criminal background.
Nobody wants what's coming across our border right now.
I don't care if you're Hispanic, if you're white, if you're black.
We want a safe state.
And this is not safe.
We just had 1.2 million fentanyl pills that were pulled out of a Scottsdale condo.
We've had people being attacked by people coming here illegally.
We had a girl at a hiking trail who was attacked recently.
We have criminals coming across that are from terrorist cells.
Nobody wants this.
I don't care what your background is or what your culture is.
We want safety in Arizona and we are going to make sure we have it.
steve bannon
If you pay for this out of the surplus of the good folks in Arizona, 300 million bucks as you designate, how are you going to get that money back from the federal government?
I mean, the people in Arizona already paid taxes once for things like protection of the country, right?
Understand you're going to do it as governor.
Are you going to go to the Biden administration and get your money back?
kari lake
Well, we're going to try to.
We're going to sue the feds to pay for this.
This is their job.
Sadly, though, we've already paid for it.
You know that.
And then Biden pulled the contracts and stopped it.
So we're going to be pulling anything that we can from the cartels.
When we arrest them, we're going to try to get the legislature involved to allow us to seize property from people who are involved with the cartels, that we can prove were involved with the cartels, or smuggling or drug smuggling.
and use those assets that have been forfeited to help put into paying for this wall as well.
I think at the end of the day it won't end up costing Arizonans that much money.
It'll end up coming from other sources.
unidentified
But we have to get the ball rolling.
steve bannon
If the Arizona Republic does not put your op-ed up, when can people get this white paper that you've done, or this op-ed that you've given them?
When are you going to put it up if they won't put it up in their op-ed section?
When are you going to put it out so people can read it?
kari lake
Well, we're going to put it out in the next 24 hours.
We're giving them the chance to, they always want to run attack pieces on me, attack stories, so why not give them the opportunity to cover a piece of policy?
And if they don't take it, we've got other people who want our op-ed, and we'll put it up there, and then we will put the policy page on our website within the next 24 hours, hopefully within the next 12 hours.
But we're giving them a chance.
That is the newspaper here in town that has turned very left, very far left, but maybe they want to run one of our op-eds.
We'll find out.
steve bannon
Good luck with that.
How do people get to you?
How do they find out more about you, and how do they find out more about your campaign?
kari lake
Thank you.
KariLake.com.
K-A-R-I-L-A-K-E dot com.
We are going to finish the Trump wall.
We are going to return sanity and security to our border here in Arizona.
I'm also going to give this policy to Governor Doug Ducey because frankly, I don't think we can wait for a year until God willing and the people of Arizona, if they vote me in and give me the job, we're going to give it to Doug Ducey and he's welcome to use it.
steve bannon
Good luck with that, too.
Okay, thank you very much, Carrie Lake.
They're fighting.
It's a tough primary out there in Arizona for the governorship to run against Katie Hobbs, one of our favorites, the commentator over at MSNBC.
Yep, she's going to be the Democratic candidate.
Carrie Lake, thank you very much.
Keep fighting.
kari lake
Thank you, Steve.

550,000 sign-ups for Getter in the last 48 hours after the epic three-hour interview of Dr. Robert Malone and Joe Rogan.
Of course, the buried lead on that interview, and this is why you're the vanguard of change in this country, is that there's not one thing that Malone talked about we haven't talked about in the spring of 2020 on that interview.
There's a few updates, but that three hours, you heard this starting April, May, June of 2020.
18 months, almost two years ago.
That's the power of this audience and how you're empowered.
Amazing.
It's an inflection point.
Joe Rogan did a great job.
And to see the responses to the thing, I say, man, this stuff's been out there forever.
See the responses.
Oh, but it's all misinformation.
Remember, we're the winner of the Misinformation Award of the Year.
Very honored for Media Matters.
I want to thank the team over at Media Matters and hope that Madeline Peltz is getting better.
Madeline, you're in our prayers every day for your healthy recovery.
Lydia Friend from the Women of Watts last night.
Incredible feedback from the audience.
Lydia, you know, she's still on the oxygen, so keep her in your prayers.
Make sure you go to her site if you want to support.
Just incredible.
Had a very tough time over Christmas.
Want to go to one of the agents of change in the country, and I gotta tell you, a guy, Dan Schultz, the precinct committee strategist.
Dan, here's the thing.
The left media, because they're so lazy and they're so dumb, They confuse what you're trying to do on the precinct strategy to actually take over the Republican Party, because it's set up as a grassroots party.
They confuse that with you're trying to take over county election boards.
You're like the head proto-fascist, right?
You're the recruiter for the Hitler Youth.
So once again, I just want to make sure I want to go through this, because if you listen to the New Year's Day Show, and we're going to break out parts of that.
It was about commitment.
It was about what happens, that great quote about what happens in your life when you commit.
All of a sudden, Divine Providence works so you get access to people and books and things you never thought about.
Once you fully commit, and this year, the Valley of Decision 2022 is about commitment.
It's about engagement, it's about empowerment, your empowerment.
The reason they hate this show and they're trying to shut this show down and all this is because of you, not because of me.
Donald Trump's not going to save this country, Tucker Carlson's not going to save this country, Steve Bannon, Sean Hannity, Elise Stefanik, McCarthy, you're going to save this country.
The reason they're furious and they're upset Is the hyperlocal strategy is empowering people.
It's civics.
And they say, oh, they're anti-democratic.
Show me more democracy than the little platoons of working class people going to sign up for precinct commitment or going up to sign up to work on an election board or volunteer like they did in Virginia or go to a school board and say, we want change.
And now we're going to throw medical boards in there, too.
We're going to go after the medical boards, make sure they can't cancel these doctors.
So Dan Schultz, walk us through, how can people get to Precinct Strategy?
We gave a big shout at you, you're one of the People of the Year, because you represented, we curated all the activists, and we had like 25 of you on the New Year's Eve show, people loved it.
Walk through right now, how do people get to Precinct Strategy?
How do they get to the other site that Beatles set up for you?
And what should they do when they go and sign up?
dan schultz
Okay, great.
So first, with respect to misinformation, this is what they're afraid of.
This misinformation.
The Constitution and the first three words in the preamble.
They're afraid of we, the people.
That's what they're afraid of.
The Constitution is not misinformation, but apparently they think it is.
The place to go is precinctstrategy.com, precinctstrategy.com.
And then once you're there, the first graphic at the top is this one.
Number 46, which I sent to you guys this morning.
And that right there in a nutshell is the precinct committeeman strategy.
It shows on the top the fact that our party is at half strength and it's ideologically split.
And if we can get just 200,000 more of the 74 million America Firsters to come into these precinct committeeman positions, we can transform our party into a full strength
75% majority, MAGA party, America First Party, and then at the bottom of that graphic it shows all these different interest groups, the pro-lifers, the anti-vaxxers, the anti-illegal immigration people, whatever your America First issue is, bring it into the party at your local committee and unify with everybody else that's on the same page as you
ideologically and let's transform our party and then use it to elect in these upcoming primary elections by getting out the vote together by then electing This is about self-empowerment.
This is free.
You've got to commit yourself and it's your time.
steve bannon
traditionally very low turnout primary elections that's the strategy that's the we the people it's increasing commitment strategy in a nutshell it is not about it's not about being a donor this is about self-empowerment this is free you got to commit yourself and you get it's your time we understand that if you do if you go to become a corner Become an owner of the party.
Amen.
This is what's so important.
And this is what they fear the most.
Nobody wants you to have a voice.
Donald Trump put you in the room in 2016.
You've got to put yourself in the room now.
They're in bigger meltdown than they are about Trump.
About you.
Why?
The last thing they want is we the people in the room.
Remember, not in the room, not in the deal.
That's what Trump showed you in 2016.
That's what Trump showed in 2016.
Now it's time for your own empowerment.
Make a commitment.
You want to give something to your country?
Give of yourself.
The way you do it?
Go volunteer today.
One more time, what's the website again?
dan schultz
There's some urgency because deadlines are coming up to make it to the election process, to become an elected member of your local committee, and they've got information there at the site, precinctstrategy.com.
steve bannon
Dan Schultz, I don't care about all the bad things the Guardian says about you, we still love you.
The people, the left media's picking on my boy Dan Schultz.
dan schultz
I'm just a lovable little fuzzball.
steve bannon
Yeah, exactly.
West Point trained.
I would say West Point educated, but my daughter went there.
West Point trained.
Ouch.
I'll get educated at the Naval Academy.
Okay, Dan Schultz, thank you very much.
Precinct Strategy.
We need to over... We need to... We need to... That was a sore subject.
That's a... That's a... We need you to go there today.
Overwhelm Dan Schultz.
I don't want him whining to me later.
Make this hit worthwhile.
Dan Schultz, thank you.
