brian stelter
Never-ending elections are so bad for the United States.
As President Biden hits his one-year mark in office, Donald Trump hits a wall, repeating his usual lies at a rally in Arizona overnight.
The rallies themselves are barely news anymore.
What's newsworthy, what's interesting, is the way these rallies are covered, or the way they're ignored.
For example, here's what Trump said at the very top of the rally Saturday night, calling the media the big lie.
donald j trump
Last year, we had a rigged election, and the proof is all over the place.
We have a lot of proof, and they know it's proof.
They always talk about the big lie.
They're the big lie.
But the fake news and the lamestream media refused, and they refused.
They refused.
They refused to talk about it.
brian stelter
So he's actually right about that.
Major networks and newsrooms mostly do ignore Trump's lies.
ABC's morning show today?
No mention of the rally.
NBC?
No mention of the rally.
Even Fox & Friends only mentioned Trump a couple of times this morning.
Fox did not hype the rally in advance.
Fox did not air it live, did not play all the greatest hits afterward.
They're much busier with Biden bashing.
donald j trump
They always talk about the big lie.
They're the big lie.
But the fake news and the lamestream media refused and they refused.
They refused.
They refused to talk about it.
They continue to refuse to talk about it.
They say, while it is unsubstantiated and the big lie.
The big lie.
The big lie is a lot of bullshit.
That's what it is.
Because they're in the pocket of the radical left Democrats, the same people who are destroying our country, and they're destroying our country.
And you have no doubt about it.
We've had more problems, we've had more destruction, I think, than five presidents put together in the last year.
On top of it all, people are being persecuted for using freedom of speech to talk about the corrupt election, but more and more information is coming out, and it's coming out far worse than anyone ever thought it could be.
And it would be a lot easier for me to go out and enjoy my life and say, you know what?
We did great.
You know, I ran twice, and we won twice, and we did better the second time.
We did much better the second time, you know that?
unidentified
12 million more votes.
donald j trump
I always say we ran it twice, but we did a hell of a lot better the second time.
This crowd is a massive symbol of what took place, because the people are hungry for the truth.
They want their country back.
They want their country back.
alyssa farah griffin
That's a great point, Brian.
Yes, the former president has lost steam in legacy media.
But what I would not discredit is how much these sort of fringier sites, how much viewership they are getting, whether it's Steve Bannon's War Room, OANN, Newsmax, that people are still tuning in.
And I'd say we're going to regret it if we think that he is not coming back and we don't prepare accordingly and we don't cover These incredible, terrifying lies that he was spouting last night.
Those do warrant getting coverage because it shows you what he's planning to do in the months ahead, in the year ahead.
He's still stoking the lies about the election being stolen.
So, to some degree, it does warrant news media.
unidentified
Thursday will mark the first full year since President Biden took office, and a new CBS News poll shows Americans think he's not focused enough on key issues like the economy and inflation.
44% of Americans approve of the job he's doing overall, with a split on his handling of the coronavirus.
When it comes to Mr. Biden's efforts on the economy, just over a third, 38%, approve.
His handling of inflation is worse.
7 in 10 Americans disapprove.
brian stelter
Only a year out since his presidency and it sounds like you are fully disturbed by the prospect of a Trump 2024.
alyssa farah griffin
Oh, absolutely.
And I've been outspoken about this.
He resigned his right to ever serve as president again after January 6th.
And lying to the public about the fundamentals of our democracy and the fact that we had a legitimate election and Joe Biden legitimately won is beyond destructive to the future of this country.
And Republicans, my party, cannot dismiss that.
They cannot discredit it.
He is going to continue to stoke these lies, and it will be our undoing if we are not Paying attention and taking him very seriously when he talks about, you know, wanting to stack state officials so that in the future, electors are going to go for him.
He's doing this all over the country.
We need to be paying attention to it.
brian stelter
I'd like to hear a Democrat's point of view about Biden at the one-year mark.
How is the press treating Biden as he heads into that one-year mark?
unidentified
Listen, I think the press is failing.
They're treating him unfairly.
First off, there ought to have been a dividend for returning truth and decency to the White House.
And we didn't get that.
We didn't get it at all.
We've kind of returned to the snarky attitude that we saw with Trump and in some respects to Obama.
And I'll give you an example about some of the decisions that get made.
As I said, from the very first briefing, The Trump spokespeople lied.
They lied every day, every briefing.
And the majority of those briefings were aired live on television.
Jen Psaki's in there now telling the truth.
She's telling us what's going on in the government, what people need to hear.
And they're rarely on live television.
So that tells me that this is more about entertainment than it is about news.
It's more about getting viewers than letting people know what's going on in the country.
And that's a failure as far as I'm concerned.
donald j trump
He's a real fighter, a lawyer, tough and smart, working on a lot of different things.
Boris, now most people call him Epstein, but I call him Boris Epstein, because that's the way.
Epstein!
Which is the way they say it in his original country, and he's been incredible, and a fighter.
Boris!
Hi, Boris.
Boris Epstein, Ambassador Rick Grinnell, one of the greats.
He's one of the greatest people.
steve bannon
OK, welcome to the War Room.
We're not fringy.
We're the fringiest.
OK, it is Monday, 17 June, Year of the Lord 2022.
It is Martin Luther King Day, federal holiday, although the city's in lockdown anyway because they put the most draconian of vaccine mandates ever.
On here, starting, I think, Friday night, Peter Navarro told us, but definitely Saturday.
You're in the War Room, over 130 million downloads on the podcast, of course, live everywhere.
I want to thank Real America's Voice, I want to thank John Frederick's Radio Network, and particularly G-News, GTV, that put us up in Mandarin and blow us through the firewall to Lao Bai Jing later in the day, so really appreciate that.
We've got so much to go through.
My co-host, we'll bring him in in a few minutes, Reynard Jackson, a dear friend, colleague, a tremendous entrepreneur, is going to be with me today to go through this.
We're packed, so I want to start right away with bringing in Boris Epstein.
I love the President's intro.
Boris, here's what's very important, and I said this on John Frettich Radio this morning, You know, Glenn Youngkin, after he won with all the MAGA votes, tried to go weak on us on vaccine mandates, on CRT.
MAGA in the Commonwealth of Virginia lit him up.
He hired Elizabeth Schultz as the deputy, somebody right out of the Trump movement, the Trump administration, as deputy department of education or public instruction, what they call it in the Commonwealth.
She's a hammer.
He came out with, I think, 10 executive orders on his inauguration day that were right to the heart of it.
And I give a hat tip because I'm not a big Glenn Youngkin fan.
You know, the fleece vest does not work for me.
But he listened up, and he came in hot, and his attorney general came in even hotter.
He blew out two-thirds of the department.
They went over to the parole boards.
They're going after the CRT.
None of it, right?
We just got to make sure they get social emotional learning in there.
But we're going to have more mothers on this week to make sure they're on point.
But he did.
I think those executive orders were tough.
He really well written.
He fires off the football.
Then Fox doesn't cover Trump at all whatsoever.
You got real America's voice.
Want to give a hat tip.
To the entire team, particularly Howard and Rob, just did a great job.
Our right side broadcasting streamed it.
A getter had hundreds of thousands, and this is why you got to go to getter, getter had hundreds of thousands.
We were pulling clips, people talking, huge people, you know, One America, which got blown off of AT&T's DirecTV, 75% of their audience, they got, it's not going to happen for a couple of months, but They covered it, Newsmax covered it, Fox, nothing.
No clips, no highlight reel.
Next morning, but this is what's most important, ladies and gentlemen.
Next morning, Youngkin goes on, and John Roberts, on Sunday, jumps him like nobody's business, spouting the exact same Rachel Maddow.
It'll sound like Joanne Reed.
You know, her thing, because they're so embarrassed, and they got caught out so bad on COT.
Well, COT is just a theoretical philosophy taught at Harvard Law School.
John Roberts comes in with exactly the left wing thing, and to Glenn Youngkin, to his credit, he didn't back off an inch.
He goes, hey, you're wrong, dude.
This has seeped in everywhere.
I'm standing by my executive orders.
Fox has really flipped, and Brian Stelter right there is bragging about it.
You're telling me a guy can go to Florence, Arizona, and I love Florence, I've spent a lot of time in Florence, Arizona, but it is the middle of nowhere.
You go to Florence, Arizona and draw that kind of crowd on an NFL playoff weekend?
Okay?
The entire Democratic Party couldn't go out there and draw that kind of crowd.
There's not a Republican.
I love DeSantis and these guys.
Fifty of them could go out there and not draw a third of that crowd.
This is a major news event.
And remember, this started the decertification process.
Here's the reason they didn't want to cover it.
They're caught out now.
CNN, MSNBC, and Fox particularly, you're caught on the big lie.
We're rolling on this decertification process, and I don't care.
We previewed it, Boris, on Saturday Morning Show.
I don't care if Twitter and these guys go crazy.
Hey, Twitter, suck on this.
We wiped out $30 billion of your value, and we're going to wipe out the next $30 billion.
Every young person working at Twitter, understand you're working for free.
Your options are going to be worth nothing.
Your warrants are going to be worth nothing.
We're going to tank that, okay?
Because we detest Twitter.
You came after us, you came after MAGA, UD, Platform, Malone, and everybody else.
Guess what?
We're going to crush you.
Every short in the world should be jumping into Twitter stock, because we have not yet begun to fight to start to crush Twitter.
They've lost $30 billion.
Half of their market cap since Getter launched.
They've lost half of it, and they're going to lose the other half.
Okay, because they're trying to suppress Trump.
They're trying to suppress Malone.
They're trying to suppress Robert Kennedy Jr.
They're trying to suppress MAGA.
I got news for them.
They ain't seen nothing.
So, boys, real quickly, give us your update.
You were there on stage.
President Trump gave you an amazing shout-out.
Tell us how it was.
boris epshteyn
Steven, it was an honor to be there.
The shout-out was amazing, not expected at all.
It was typical President Trump, you know, from the heart, authentic, hilarious.
I got a lot of jokes, a lot of laughs, you know, from my family, but in all seriousness, in all seriousness, to be there, I got there at about, I think, 2.30 in the afternoon, maybe even earlier.
President Trump didn't go on stage until, I think, about, you know, a little after 7.
The crowd at 2.30, Was already larger than most football games.
Okay?
And it only built from there.
And it was a tough day.
It was a windy day.
It was a cold day.
And Florence is between Phoenix and Tucson, Stephen.
Just as you said.
There's nobody.
There's nobody in the Republican Party.
There's nobody in the Democrat Party.
And I don't think there's any celebrities.
Who could come out and get, and let me tell you this, I had the honor of being in the President Trump's, I went to the airfield to greet him and then came back with him.
I had the honor of being in his motorcade on the way from the airfield, which by the way is one of the coolest, coolest airfield, no air traffic control, in the middle of Florence, Arizona.
And I had the honor of being in the motorcade and seeing the cars still stacked up for miles, trying to get in, get into the field, get into the rally.
steve bannon
Hang on one second.
That is news.
As an objective fact, that is news.
When you have, in a year or nine months before a midterm election, that many people show up in a movement.
To hear their leader talk, okay?
That size crowd, that is news in the United States of America, and they won't cover it.
So don't sit there and tell me they're news organizations, and particularly Fox.
You're not a news organization.
What the Murdochs want is they want a Glenn Youngkin, or they want some nice guy who's going to sit there and give them tax cuts and deregulation.
The Fox scam is over.
Okay?
Besides Tucker Carlson, it's nothing but a scam.
And you're not going to sit there... Well, some of the Murdoch's won't reshoot a plane.
Would you say what?
boris epshteyn
There are people in the Murdoch family who want no Republicans, no Conservatives at all.
They're far left.
They won't walk.
They won't reshoot a plane, but a lot of them are.
steve bannon
Oh, the sons and the wives of the sons.
Big time.
They're hardcore leftists.
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
Boris, just hang on.
We've got a lot to go through.
And we've got a lot of people to get to because we're packed today.
We've got economic analysis, political analysis.
We've got what's happening in China.
It's going to have a big impact on you.
All of a sudden, The Wall Street Journal is coming out today.
We told you if you watch The War Room, you've known this back in November, December.
They're already taking down the GDP numbers for the first quarter.
This is worse than stagflation.
We're heading towards an abyss, and don't believe all the happy talk you're hearing from the business press, okay?
Because there's a tectonic plate shift going on right now in the world's economy, and it's not going to help you.
Short commercial break.
back with everybody in the War Room next.
unidentified
War Room, pandemic, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
I'm.
Okay.
Mike Lindell's been working all weekend.
I've been in communication with him non-stop.
He spoke.
He's one of the opening acts of President Trump's rally on Saturday in Florence, Arizona.
And he took all five minutes as a throwdown on Fox.
By the way, Ken Paxton, Attorney General of Texas, is going to be on tomorrow.
Very important news about these DAs, and particularly the DA's involvement now in election fraud.
Huge news coming out of Texas.
Something we've got to sort out.
Also, Tina Peters, big breaking news out of Colorado about her situation.
We're going to try to have her on later today.
Like I said, we're jammed.
We're trying to get Tina in.
Mike Lindell is going to be with us tomorrow.
He's got huge news to talk about.
I want to make sure everybody, please get up.
I know the audience right now is massive on Getter and other places watching this live.
Real America's Voice in the chat rooms.
It's insane.
I want everybody in there.
Let's get up the bank situation.
I want everybody to call that CEO, email that CEO.
It's color within the lines, but color boldly!
Let him know what you think about debanking Mike Lindell and all the associated companies and philanthropies of Mike Lindell.
Make sure you do that.
Kevin McCarthy, also the petition to throw Liz Cheney and Kinzinger out of the Republican Congress and on the Hill.
That's a letter Dave Bozzi, Citizens United's got.
They got a 30-second spot.
I want everybody to sign that.
These are all free.
This is just putting your muscle to the wheel, and by the way, the New York Times today, or yesterday in the paper, the full back page about the War Room Posse.
Steve Bannon is on to something.
It's Ezra Klein's, which we talked about last week.
This is a full back page of the editorial sections called the Sunday Review.
They have all their op-eds.
That is a full entire page, and it's a hat tip to you.
The left is petrified.
They're petrified of you at school boards.
They're petrified of you at becoming precinct committee men.
They're petrified of you going and volunteering to become election officials, like I told you, in the room.
And Joe Biden spinning out of control.
It's who counts the votes.
Just insanity.
So a lot to get through.
We got a lot of victories this morning I want to talk about.
Boris, we got a massive victory in Florida.
Remember, it's not strategy, it's logistics.
This is nuts and bolts, and this is where this posse put its shoulder to the wheel.
We've got huge news coming out of Florida, we're going to get to in a second, but another surprise victory on Saturday from someone that's really just been an incredible fire breather and running a bootstrap operation.
Kathy Barnett up there running for the Senate in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and probably even more than Ohio and Missouri.
Now just a really a huge race, multiple participants, a lot of money coming in there.
A lot of outsiders coming there.
Kathy Barnett's been running from day one.
Kathy, tell us about your victory.
Kind of a stunning, you virtually almost tied Jeff Bartos, who's a very tough competitor, in the Central Committee's straw poll.
You kind of came out of nowhere in just an amazing showing, ma'am.
unidentified
Well, you know what?
It may be coming out of nowhere for some people, but in every single poll that has been conducted in this race since about nine months ago, I think there may be about seven polls I am consistently the only candidate that has ever come in in the top two for every single poll.
So this straw poll that took place in the Central Caucus, that is the largest caucus in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I came in again very strong in the top two, so it is just indicative Okay, why is that?
Why do you finish in the top two all the time?
Okay, why is that?
steve bannon
Why do you finish in the top two all the time?
Why does that happen?
unidentified
Because this is a grassroots.
You know what?
I think our leaders, quote-unquote, our influencers, they no longer have their finger on the pulse of what's going on.
They believe they can bring in carpetbaggers and big money and just blow it all on television ass and just ignore the people.
We are not ignoring the people.
I have believed for some time that our health is not going to come from the top down.
Our health is going to come from the bottom, from the grassroots up.
And we're going to have to pry our country out of these people's hands.
They have no intention of letting us have our freedoms.
steve bannon
But Cathy, clearly you're not putting the fear into anybody because you got three, you got Dr. Aj, you got Dave McCormick, you got two, but you got a billionaire doctor, a billionaire hedge fund guy, and Carla Sands who's a billionaire because of her husband's, I guess, media business.
All three of those are coming at you hard.
What do you got to say about that?
unidentified
I mean, you know, Oz came in with one vote.
So what does he have to say about that?
He spent, what, multiple millions of dollars and got one vote in the largest caucus in the Commonwealth.
I was in Carla Sand's backyard and beat her.
So, you know, I mean, but you have a lot of very entitled people.
They feel very entitled.
I believe it's a horrible precedent that we are setting in this nation, that if you are wealthy and you feel like it's your turn, you can literally walk into any one state and put your name on the ballot and pretend you've always lived there, pretend you're not just a Republican, but that you're a conservative Republican, although nothing about your background will indicate that, but the people are not being fooled.
The people, the grassroots, the moms and pops who are going to the grocery store trying to buy a loaf of bread or trying to fill their car up or just trying to be an involved parent and not be considered a domestic terrorist or finding themselves being fired because they refused to take an experimental jab.
These are the voters and for some reason we have influencers in our party, very wealthy people who think they can ignore these particular people, but those are my people.
They recognize that I represent them.
I will fight for them and they recognize that.
steve bannon
Kathy Barnett, did Joe Biden win the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the 3 November election of 2020, yes or no?
unidentified
I don't know if he won or not.
What I do know is that in the county, in Montgomery County, which is the county that I was running in, in 2020, I know when I went to bed that night, I had won 73% of the precincts over the next three days.
I ended up losing everything, even the most red area.
I filed the very first lawsuit in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, calling out the shenanigans that we saw.
with photos. I then immediately conducted. I pulled together about 100 people, looked at 1600 names. We went to all 1600 names. We knocked on every single door with these 100 people. And what we found was that 32% of the households we went to, there was something very nefarious and fraudulent going on. We went to homes where the voter rolls said there are eight people living in this home, four of whom had the last name Aikie.
The other four had the last name Bones, Aikie Bones.
We had a number of people.
The first of seven questions we asked was, did you vote in the general election of 2020?
And we had a number of people who said no, because we're not citizens.
So we had empty parking lots, gas stations, 14-year-olds.
I counted up about 200 dead people who miraculously came out.
So I don't know what happened throughout the nation.
I don't know what happened throughout the state of Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but I know what took place in Montgomery County, the third largest county in the state of Pennsylvania.
And I know that there was a lot of fraudulent activity.
And the biggest issue here is the fact that we have a significant number of Americans who believe something went terribly wrong in that election.
But you have the left, some on our party and the media, who are telling a large majority of the American population.
Shut up, sit down.
We don't want to hear it.
And our nation just doesn't work that way.
We are not destroying election integrity simply because we're asking questions.
What destroys election integrity, just like what destroys the efficacy of the vaccine, is when you won't allow people to question it.
We spent the past three years allowing Democrats to do a Russia, Russia, Russia hoax experiment, and we find out at the end of all of that is that everything they accused President Trump of doing, they themselves were guilty of doing it.
But we allowed that process to take place because there were a significant number of Americans who questioned it.
That is how the country is supposed to be ran.
But instead, we have a totalitarian-like forces that are just trying to get their way, and they don't want to hear it.
And the American people realize it.
We feel it.
We know there's something fundamentally going wrong with how our nation is being ran right now.
Nothing makes sense.
Every issue we are contending with, these are not God events.
These are all brought on as a direct result of Joe Biden and his inferior people he has surrounding him who are making these policies.
These are not natural occurrences.
Whether we're talking about inflation, he inherited an inflation of 1.4%.
Now we're at 7%.
As soon as blacks, Hispanics, and those with no college education start getting a job, all of a sudden the Federal Reserve is nervous about inflation.
Where have they been?
throughout the year when inflation has been ramping up and people have found it very difficult just to go and buy milk.
We are, our nation is in trouble. Our nation is in trouble.
Let's not, we can't even look at the border.
We can look at China and this unholy union, China and Russia just entered into and these despotic regimes are going to become more and more emboldened because they smell weakness in the White House and throughout the ranks of our legislators.
Our nation is in trouble.
This is the reason why I'm running.
People recognize it.
This is the reason why my campaign has consistently been in the top two in every single poll that has been done, and now being solidified by the straw poll of the largest caucus in the Commonwealth.
steve bannon

Boris, real quickly before we go to break, that right there is the type of fire breathers we need, right?
We don't endorse here, but I'm saying give her a shot because that is the type of fight that you want to see.
That's the type of fight of the Trump movement, is it not?
boris epshteyn
Well, we need MAGA.
We need fighters.
That's who showed up this weekend in Arizona and Florence, braved the lines, braved the weather, braved everything to come and make a statement that America is MAGA country and President Trump is our leader, so I was impressed by that from Pennsylvania by Kathy Barnett for sure.
steve bannon
Okay, short break.
We're going to go from the Commonwealth where Big MAGA is showing on Saturday to the state of Florida where you're delivering the redistricting.

Talk to me about Gallup and this polling that is absolutely shocking.
Breaking it here on War Room.
Talk to us about abortion.
boris epshteyn
Steve, I have to do a triple take on this.
Denver, if we could put up the latest graphic I just sent out of Gallup.
This is in a span of one year party identification.
One year.
Denver, we get it.
Perfect, Denver.
Thank you so much.
Great job.
A year ago, it was 49% identified as Democrat, lead Democrat.
40, Republican, lead Republican.
In one year, there's been a delta of 14%.
14%.
Now it's 47, 42.
And I'm talking about real numbers here.
It's gone from 49, 40 plus 9 Democrats to plus 5 Republicans.
They have not seen a shift like that in at least 25 years.
This is bigger than 2010.
This is bigger than 2014.
This is absolutely historic.
Look at this.
Look at this shift.
And by the way, if anybody thinks that Republican is anything rather than MAGA, then as usual, I've got bridges to sell you.
steve bannon
Listen, remember, we're coming up on our anniversary show of the Biden inauguration.
Remember what we told you.
If you focus on his illegitimacy and his incompetence and recklessness, we will kill this in the crib.
But here's the buried lead.
You did say that, Steve, by the way.
A hundred percent.
I'm proud of it.
What are you talking about?
I'm proud of it.
boris epshteyn
So are we.
steve bannon
And every day I say it.
Hold it.
1995 is the year that the Gingrich Revolution took place in November of 1994.
That polling in the Talmud, the biggest tech town that played shift, Occurred they did that in January of 95 think January February of 95.
It was post the Gingrich revolution This is the type of tic-tac plate you we've got remember.
We are not just about killing The Biden administration that's dead.
They're trying to fit only Mitch McConnell keeps on life support because they stole the election everybody get focused because they stole the election and The great irony in the way Divine Providence is working here to show us exactly how radical they were, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to destroy root and branch the Democratic Party.
Okay, that's what this is telling us right now.
If we stick to the plan, if you stay focused on their illegitimacy, if you stay focused on their horrible policies, if you stay focused on the fact that a 70-year-old nurse African-American nurse that goes to a hospital and works as an emergency room nurse is beating to death on a street because the Soros DAs won't put these guys in jail.
Chinese-American woman, Asian woman is pushing from another train in New York City because of these woke DAs, right?
They won't protect the Hispanic and African-American working class, and Asian working class.
They're not being protected.
All of those votes are our votes because they've had a belly full of it.
They don't want the inflation.
They want better jobs, and they want to have law and order.
They want the anarchy to stop in these big cities.
We have a once in a lifetime, once in a generation chance to destroy.
The progressive side of that will become the new Green Party.
But we can shatter the Democratic Party with a hundred seats in the House.
And here's how we're going to do it, Boris.
We're going to get into more later.
We're going to get Boris back in here.
This Gallup poll is enormous.
They've controlled every part of the culture, every part of the corporations, every part of Wall Street, every part of Silicon Valley oligarchs.
By the way, all of you businesses that bailed on people, understand how the American people hate your guts.
Look at the shift here.
To the Republicans, to the Conservatives, they've shifted because they detest the way what you try to do the country.
You try to do it and you've been found, okay?
And now we're gonna run the tables.
This is the great predicate.
But here's what's even better.
Not just Glenn Young and people having his back and him standing up yesterday to Fox News and they tried to browbeat him on those left-wing talking points about critical race theory.
It's the Santas and the guys down in Florida listening.
Talk to us.
The map came out, and this is 100% the war room, and particularly all the great citizens down in Florida.
We have a massive audience in Florida.
We appreciate you people.
We love the fact that you called and had your voices heard.
Look at what happened over the weekend.
Mark Elias, suck on this.
We'll see you, Ohio, and we'll raise your Florida.
Boris, walk through the map.
boris epshteyn
Steve, this is the previous map.
This is where, the last map we saw last week was 16 to 12, okay?
unidentified
And then all of a sudden, after we've been focusing on this day in, day out, putting our- Hold on, this is what they come with.
steve bannon
16 with the state that we control now.
16 in the state house and the governor.
16 Republican House seats and 12 Democrat.
That's what they were talking about, right?
boris epshteyn
That's what they came out with.
That's what the Florida State Senate came out with.
And this posse, As it went to work on everything from 3 November, the vital 3 November movement, on which we continue to win, win, win.
They went to work on making sure that Democrats do not, do not get to blow up our country.
And that's why Biden's agenda is in the toilet.
They went to work on redistricting, just like they've gone to work on precinct committee strategy and on taking over poll watching.
Right here, they want to work on redistricting.
And what happened just yesterday?
The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, his team finally weighed in.
We've been asking him to, we've been calling on him to do it, and to be as strong on this as they've been on mandates and other things, and they weighed in.
And where did they come in at?
Well, this is 16-12.
You now have Dave Wasserman, who's apparently, by liberal standards, the main redistricting guy, saying that we may have gone from 16-12 to 20-8 in the latest map put up, proposed.
steve bannon
Dave Wasserman.
Dave Wasserman is the guy.
Cook Report.
Very smart.
And he is focused.
He was just on Chuck Todd.
We played that part last week.
He is maniac.
Mystery District.
Because they understand that this is what Ezra Klein was talking about versus amateurs talk strategy and warfare.
Professionals talk logistics.
This is the nitty gritty.
This is the predicate.
We got to get this right.
And we're starting to you're starting to see a shift since the war room posse got involved here.
Once again, it was 16 to 12 coming out of the state Senate.
Governor DeSantis, the team around him focused.
The map right now is 20 to 8, correct Boris?
boris epshteyn
Yes, now there's a lot of fight ahead.
This is the proposed map, right?
So now there's going to be all this nitty-gritty and working and chop-chop.
steve bannon
Mark Elias is out there raising money right now.
He'll be down there.
Mark Elias will be down there suing everybody.
Bring it, baby.
Bring it.
We love the process.
We love fighters, Elias.
Give us your best shot, brother.
Give us your best shot.
Because quite frankly, I think it should be 21-7.
I want to be greedy here.
You're playing Smash Mouth.
The Democrats play Smash Mouth.
We gotta play Smash Mouth.
I'm still a 21-7 guy, but I'll take 20-8.
unidentified
Exactly.
boris epshteyn
Amen.
thinking of and hey, Mark Elias, the MAGA in Florida is gonna stand up to you and let's be honest, the governor in Florida is different than the governor over there in Ohio.
It's a little bit of a different team.
So, and you know, Elias is tweeting about War Room, tweeting about Steve Bannon.
He's watching.
Mark, love the show buddy.
Enjoy us and have a good time.
And you know what?
If you want and go play games down in Florida, you're gonna be met with strength.
There's no two ways about it.
You're going to be met with strength.
unidentified
Strength.
Strength.
boris epshteyn
Because in the end, in the end, Florida's MAGA country and America's MAGA country, and I want to say 10 more seconds about that Gallup change.
Yeah, yeah.
That net of 14% that formed 49 to 40 to 47 to 42, this is not just, great job Denver, thank you so much.
This is not just, they put it up on screen for those who are on the podcast.
This is a Democrat-Republican.
This is Democrat-MAGA.
This 47-42 is a five-point lead by MAGA.
And by the way, here's the news flash for everybody.
For the posse, the MAGA movement, for the haters, it's only getting bigger because we are winning everywhere.
Look at Tennessee.
People thought, oh, they're never going to break up Nashville.
Boom, redistricting, national district being broken up.
Look at Missouri.
Now they're coming and saying, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
We've been listening to War Room.
We can't have more than one MAGA district in Missouri.
And finally, and I want to say this before I punch you.
donald j trump
No, no, no, no.
steve bannon
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
You mean one Democratic district.
Missouri's going to be eight to one, right?
boris epshteyn
Yeah, one Democrat.
You said MAGA district.
No, no, no.
steve bannon
One Democrat.
Where are we in Missouri right now?
boris epshteyn
The latest map I've seen is seven MAGA, one Democrat.
Seven MAGA, one Democrat.
That's what it is.
And the MAGA patriots there are saying, hey, this is where the base is, this is where the movement is, under the leadership of President Trump, we are not taking a step back.
That's what they're doing in Tennessee, that's what they're doing in Missouri, and now we're seeing in Florida.
And the biggest sign of our strength, I'll say it again, and I was so honored and proud to be there, was this weekend.
It blew from the moment I stepped out of my car and I looked at the sea of humanity.
And it's not just the sea of humanity, it's the flags, it's the shirts, it's the outpouring of MAGA, it's the outpouring of Donald Trump as our leader, and let's be honest, it's also the outpouring of FJB.
It's both.
People were there to speak, people were there to be heard, and people were there to show our strength of MAGA and it's only growing.
steve bannon
We have the anniversary show of Joe Biden's inauguration this week.
We have the anniversary show of the first time we did War Room Pandemic after we stripped from War Room Impeachment.
We have the Right to Life March.
We have the massive rally here.
This is a packed week.
But of all of those important events, and they're all important in their own right, the most important we're going to deal with is the start of the decertification process out in the great state of Arizona.
Boris will be back to tell us more about that.
Boris, real quickly, how do people get to you on social media?
boris epshteyn
No doubt about it.
Social media's been blowing up.
Of course, huge newsletters.

And MAGA!
steve bannon
We lost Boris, got so excited.
Victory begets victory.
Let's bring in my co-host Raynard Jackson.
Raynard, talk to me about this Gallup poll.
You're seeing the shift out there that people now are waking up to the fact that this has got to be MAGA all the time.
Raynard Jackson.
unidentified
Steve, thanks for having me.
I'm seeing this all across the country, Steve, because you know now I'm back on the block and I'm hot as hell and I'm ready to get out there to the street.
In the immortal words of Michael McDonald, who grew up down the street from me, from St.
Louis, of the Doobie Brothers, we got to take this to the streets, Steve, because I have been seeing this for well over a year or two, especially within the black and Hispanic community.
Steve, they are on fire.
They're not buying into this Biden agenda.
They want to be involved with this conservative movement, Steve, that you're putting together with blacks, with Asian, Hispanic, the working class people of America who are getting so down the stream every day by the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce, Steve, and by swishy liberal Republicans.
We need to take control of everything from the local, state, and federal And I'm cautiously optimistic, Steve, about Junkin's inauguration.
He did a great job Saturday with the 11th Executive Order, Steve.
So I think we got something to work with.
We just now, Steve, got to go into the black and Hispanic community and bring them into the fold formally.
steve bannon
Okay.
We're going to talk about this for the rest of the hour, okay?
And next hour, too.
Short commercial break.

Join Getter.
It's time to cancel, cancel culture.
donald j trump
Always wonder where are the grownups here?
joe scarborough
Let's allow people to be uncomfortable with viewpoints that they may disagree with.
unidentified
Well, you're right, Joe, and this is becoming real important because as you've talked about many times. Things are stymied on Capitol Hill.
Justice Department could do something more aggressively here, but it looks relatively passive.
So what's left to really go at this whole apparatus of election theft that's being put in place in various states?
And the answer really is civil protest.
You need civil protest to raise the temperature here in terms of holding state legislatures' feet to the fire in terms of what can be done.
And college campuses are the likely place to be able to ignite this kind of civil protest.
And they're on to these issues.
Racial equality is a huge issue in college campuses, but it's playing out in things like protesting readings and whether individual professors are sensitive enough and issues around appropriate language.
And it's kind of missing the point about how significant the threat to their values is when you're coming down to elections and how they deal with overturning race, which is really what this is all about in many of these swing states.
And there's no political voice there.
steve bannon
OK, we couldn't play the first part of that, which there's a theory out there that the universities are not woke enough, that they're not woke enough.
So we asked Dr. Carol Swain, who's an expert on all this, and what they're doing there is saying the kids, hey, don't worry about the microaggressions.
You should become the template for the revolt against Trump and about Trump's decertification process.
Dr. Swain, because you're an expert and you've dedicated your life to learning and to education.
What are the universities?
Do we have a problem at the major universities, particularly the Ivy or Ivy equivalents like Vanderbilt?
Do we have a problem that they're not woke enough, ma'am?
carol m swain
We don't have a problem that they're not woke enough.
We do have a problem that the leftist leaders in our country use young people and instead of educating them, the administrators use the children.
They're not children.
They're young adults.
But they are manipulated to push a leftist agenda.
And so I have no doubt that if the professors decide that they want to push this fake voting rights pursuit through the students, they will use the students because that's what they've done all along.
The CRT, all of that has come because you had leftist professors that feed ideas to the student activists They give those activists a list of demands, and then the students act out, the administrators cave, and it's all a game.
unidentified
Okay, so a lot of that's quite provocative.
steve bannon
What do you mean fake voting rights?
All I hear on MSNBC and CNN all the time is that this is the number one.
Biden woke up to the fact that this is the most important thing in America right now, to get the federal takeover of the state election process.
What say you, ma'am?
carol m swain
Well, I say that I'm old enough to have lived through the civil rights movement, to have seen the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, 1965 Voting Rights Act.
There are no prohibitions to voting in America for people who are legally qualified.
Act, 1965 Voting Rights Act. There are no prohibitions to voting in America for people who are legally qualified. And the Democrats are using voting rights as a way to expand the electorate to people who are undocumented, people who are illegal aliens.
It's not about blacks, Hispanics, and whites having the ability to vote.
It's about loosening the requirements so you have mail-in ballots.
And we know from the last election that there's no way to police the mail-in ballots.
We know that Mike, excuse me, Mark Zuckerberg set up those drop boxes.
In the areas where minorities lived and those drop boxes were not police.
They were stuffed in many cases.
It was a way to cheat.
They'd like to do the ballot harvesting.
I know how that worked in Virginia, my home state, because I had relatives.
They had no interest in voting.
They told me tales of people that showed up at that door two or three at a time with ballots standing there, you know, demanding that you fill them out.
And that was how If 81 million people voted for Joe Biden, and we know that that's not true, it happened because they were able to cheat.
And yes, I do believe that the 2020 election, that in parts of the country, the election irregularities were enough to determine the outcome.
And so there's no voting rights crisis in America.
There is a liberal, democratic agenda that will use young people, that will use old people, they will use immigrants, they'll use blacks, they'll use anybody to push their agenda.
steve bannon
Do you think, we got about a minute in this block and I'll come back and talk about CRT with you in the next block, but is the African-American community, particularly the working class, do you think they're awakening to this issue?
They're being used by the Democratic Party, they're being used by the global corporations?
carol m swain
Absolutely.
And there's some polling data to show that blacks are falling away from the Democratic Party.
Not all of them are turning to Republicans, but they are not identifying as Democrats as strongly.
And I know among young people, Turning Point USA, Prager Force, Clara Luce Booth, Young America's Foundation, Blexit, that there are more and more young black people Who can see through what's taking place.
And when you talk with older people, many of them are saying that life was better under Donald Trump.
unidentified
Wow.
steve bannon
OK, Dr. Swain, can you please stay?
Rainer Jackson's going to hang with me.
Dr. Swain's going to stay through.
I'm going to talk about her book and about Glenn Youngkin's executive orders, where he came in hot the other day, but Fox tried to blow him up yesterday, trying to do the left-wing take that, oh, there's no such thing as critical race theory.
It's just Derrick Bell and some bunch of really smart theoretical lawyers at Harvard Law School taught it up.
But it's nothing more than that.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
Dr. Carol Swain.
Raynard Jackson, Ken Blackwell, Steve Cortez, Joe Allen, the entire crowd.
Maybe we get Tina Peters, we're lucky enough.
