Breaking news now on the economy.
There is a new measure of just how much inflation is soaring and the numbers are staggering.
The consumer price index jumped 8.5% in March from 12 months earlier.
That is the biggest year-over-year growth In 40 years.
You have to go back to 1981 to see a similar jump in the costs of food, gasoline, and housing.
As the AP frames it, the economic squeeze is effectively wiping out the pay raises that many people have received.
And that's probably just the beginning.
Joining us now, NBC News Senior Business Analyst and host of the 11th hour, so we thank you for coming in so early, Stephanie Ruhle.
Steph, break it down for us.
unidentified
It ain't good.
When you look at these numbers year over year, you said it.
We have not been in this place in 40 years.
And the biggest increases?
It's gas.
It's rent.
It's food.
All the things you need to buy every day.
So the people who are already the most economically vulnerable are going to be hit the hardest.
And you mentioned it.
We've talked a lot about the good news about wages being up so much over the last year.
When you account for inflation, hourly wages are actually down almost 3%.
So we talk a lot about all the savings Americans have built up over the last two years, over $2 trillion.
That's mostly middle-income Americans, wealthier Americans.
For those at the bottom of the economic scale, huge blow.
Yeah, and Steph, I'm just looking through some of these numbers.
Almost 9% inflation on food.
willie geist
I mean, for everything else that's going on, for all the support that President Biden has 100%.
unidentified
And this is crippling politically.
as low as the unemployment rate is.
willie geist
When you go to the grocery store and you can't believe your eyes at the scan, when you go to the gas station and it's going up into triple digits, that's what matters to people.
unidentified
100%, and this is crippling politically.
Look at what's happening in France, right?
Inflation is even worse there.
And so you've got the same people saying, we stand with Ukraine.
You know, we understand that gas prices are higher.
Those same people are saying, oh, but I don't like it.
And I'm voting against you.
And the Biden administration is going to have to wrestle with this.
The Fed is meeting in May.
They're likely going to raise rates again.
But even though that could be a part-term solution, people don't like how that feels either.
steve bannon
Wow, 40 years.
A complete and total debacle.
Of course, the legacy business media is trying to look through the tea leaves here and say, oh, actually, there's a technical aspect of this that's good.
And I'm glad Stephanie Rule brought in France.
That's what we've been talking about, France.
We've been talking about inflation, how inextricably linked this is.
And this is one of the reasons Macron is pivoting away so rapidly from Ukraine and trying to focus on domestic issues.
This is just Brutal numbers.
Brutal numbers.
And when you add to the fourth element, remember the package that you have to look at, particularly working class people and middle class people, but particularly the lower middle class.
Gas and energy, food, rent, and then the interest payment.
How you're kind of financing this with your credit cards.
What she just said right there is the power.
Hey, they talked about at the meeting they're going to bump interest rates.
That's going to be the beginning of how you get your arms around this.
But is it too little, too late?
And do they have the fortitude that President Reagan had to take the pain?
Remember, I keep saying in politics today, it's authenticity, number one, a fight that you're not going to back down.
Number three is the ability to take political pain.
Ron DeSantis in Florida is a good example of that, right?
Authenticity, fight, and ability to take pain, make tough decisions, and take incoming from people.
There's no easy solution here.
This is a debacle.
And this is all made by the policies of Joe Biden.
OK, there's no Putin.
And even there, they weren't.
They weren't.
You saw in the first couple of minutes.
And that's MSNBC.
That's Morning Mika.
OK, with Stephanie Rule.
Talk about two haters.
Right.
Those are two of the top haters.
You don't see any of the Putin spin in there.
OK, it is 12 April.
It's Tuesday.
This is Holy Week and Passover week.
We're going to have Ben Harnwell later in the show from the Vatican.
Today, I think, is the day they commemorate the of Christ driving the money changers out of the temple.
He'll be live from St.
Peter's Square a little later.
We've got an absolute packed show today.
But on 12 April, the year of our Lord, 2022, we would be remiss if we did not start.
With Dr. Peter Navarro.
Dr. Navarro, of course, called the stagflation that was coming, I think, on the first day of Biden administration.
You had looked through their policies, Peter, pretty, pretty in a lot of detail.
And remember, you're one of the architects.
Of the fall and Christmas of 2019, which Steve Kortes still say the greatest year for American workers since World War II.
If you look at the zero inflation, the wages up at 10%, wages particularly for blue-collar people, people without college degrees, the people getting crushed today.
That is a golden era.
And the whole question is, how do we get back to that?
Right.
We know what way we get back to that is get President Trump back in the White House with guys like Peter Navarro, maybe throwing a Steve Cortez and some other, not so many of these, not so many of these Wall Street guys that were around trying to talk Trump out of these policies.
But the fall of 2019 is going to look like a golden age.
But you and Cortez called from day one of this regime.
Exactly what was going to happen, and now you've got absolute chaos, turmoil, anarchy.
And the people bearing the brunt of this, that's why I want every African American that's listening to this that maybe is not part of the MAGA movement, every Hispanic American, Asian American, We're not here to tell you what to think.
We're here to show you what the real facts are.
you know, has never, Trump's never resonated with you.
You've bought what the mainstream media said.
Now is your time to just get the information the war room puts out, and we're gonna be putting out a ton more.
We're not here to tell you what to think.
We're here to show you what the real facts are.
You make your own decisions.
Peter Navarro, as the guy that helped President Trump and the guy that first called this, walk us through this debacle that takes us back to the early days of the Reagan administration, goes back to 19...
peter navarro
Steve, this is, by definition, a deep structural rot now in the Biden economy.
It's, as the boss might say, a politician-made disaster in many ways.
In terms of the numbers today, yes, the highest printout since 1981.
By the way, that was the high point of inflation in the stagflationary era.
steve bannon
of the seventies right so if we're already hitting that we know that that we've got uh... of problems ahead uh... interestingly the whole of the whole and i don't know how to stop right there stop right there very important this is from the airline airborne boggle at the beginning of globalization it was many years this was also paying for vietnam in the great society and globalization the arab oil embargo all of that wrapped up
There was four or five years of this that peaked under, this was by President Reagan won in 80, and it was his remedies he started putting in place.
But people forget, we're at the top of the first inning.
We're still in the first, almost first year of this illegitimate regime and what they've done.
That is a massive point.
unidentified
We ain't seen nothing yet.
peter navarro
It's as bad now in the Biden regime at the beginning as it was at the peak and the end of the stagflation in the 70s.
Now, that is something that, okay, mark that here on the war room, okay?
Now, here's what's alarming to me, okay?
It wasn't the numbers today.
It was their comments of the Federal Reserve a couple of days ago.
The Fed has basically thrown in the towel on inflation, meaning that they're going to not only aggressively raise interest rates, which as you said in your opening monologue, Steve, is really going to hit the deplorables hard because their credit is going to go up and it's going to make it harder to buy housing.
Okay, those are like the two parts of the American dream.
But at the same time, and this shot me, the biggest dove historically on the Fed is this woman named Lael Brainard.
And she came out with the announcement that the Fed is going to not only raise interest rates quickly, they're going to rapidly do the quantitative tightening.
What does that mean?
The whole thing that Ben Bernanke ushered in to stimulate the economy years back in 2007 crash, was quantitative easing, which is to go in and the Fed basically prints money at the long end of the curve through the bond market.
So what we're going to do now is reverse that, clean up the balance sheet, and they're going to do it twice as fast as the last time they did it.
So here's the thing.
Why does this is alarming?
What it's going to do is it's going to kind of crush this economy.
It's going to basically create essentially a stationary condition.
steve bannon
Yo, yo, yo, hang on.
Let's take a deep breath for a second.
We're going to have a disagreement with the chief strategist and my trade advisor.
They only have so many tools.
When I talk about the third aspect of this is the ability to take pain.
peter navarro
The Fed can't... This is going to be my punchline, Steve, okay?
unidentified
The Fed can't... The Fed is a very limited tool.
peter navarro
The only thing the Fed can do now is solve the inflation part of the stagflation economy.
So what they're going to do is they're going to throw the hammer down To try to cure an inflation which they let get out of the bag, because they thought it was transitory, they're going to create a recession that's really, really significant, and they don't have any tools to deal with that.
The Fed's like a one-trick pony, which gets us to the point, you know, what do we do?
Now, if Donald Trump were in office right now, the lead policy would be structural in nature to get us back to energy independence, right?
If you look at part of this problem, the biggest part of the problem is the oil prices which bleed into fertilizer prices and therefore food prices, okay?
So structurally, that's where we got to start.
Get back to strategic energy dominance.
We know the Biden administration and the Green New Dealers like AOC aren't going to allow that, so take that off the table.
That, you know, the A1, we're screwed there, which is why we got to get rid of the So they're not going to do that.
The second thing Trump would do to deal with the supply chain fragilities, which are creating all sorts of costs along the supply chain, would be to bring manufacturing home, resume the trend towards bringing our production home so that we have resilient domestic-based and by the same token create jobs for the deplorables, the blue-collar, black-and-brown Americans.
He would do that, so that's a structural fix that the Biden regime is not going to do to grow the economy.
We would have secure borders.
He'd slam shut that border so we don't have this flood of illegal aliens coming and putting downward pressure on deplorables' wages and creating economic dislocation there and really making worse the recession that's coming.
And those folks, black, brown, blue-collar folks, the deplorables, we're the ones that get hit like that.
So Biden regime's not going to secure that border.
So everything that we could do, right, to get the economy growing, as the Fed is going to start crushing the economy, Biden is not going to do.
A house
Controlled by the Democrats is not going to do because their ideology will not allow them to do that So in the 70s, this is an important point Steve historically Gerald Ford when he was in the middle of all this would bounce back and forth between trying to cure recession inflation recession inflation and we'd get this wage price spiral that Carter inherited and we will observe the same thing happening until the Republicans control a house in the Senate and
And Donald Trump controls the White House.
steve bannon
I think, and this is a very interesting analysis, and when we come back I'm going to have Peter just walk through some of the basic numbers of where the inflation is, but here's, I think, if you look at this, these numbers are so out of control, okay, and particularly on things like food and energy, which, remember, the theory is, oh, they're transitory, they can change, but no.
You've got these structural issues with them.
They don't change, okay?
They're not that easy to change.
peter navarro
That's just a fallacy.
A secular drift up in energy prices because of the embrace of the Green New Deal and the blocking back from strategic energy dominance.
Therefore, therefore, we will see energy prices in a secular uptrend, not volatile, coming back down.
Okay?
And by the way, the Iranians, the Saudis, the Russians, and the Venezuelans have this country By the shorthairs.
And Donald Trump would never, ever have allowed that.
Biden, AOC, they had no clue that that is what even happened.
steve bannon
OK, hang on, we're taking a short break.
I believe that the Fed is signaling with the and I think the rate increases are going to come higher.
And I think the tightening is going to come quicker because they're going to say politically, we got to get we have to have a recession, get in and get out in 23.
And then by the election year of 24, be on the uptick because any more delay, they've already written off 22 with these numbers.
There's nothing really can do that because he's taking no action today.
We'll walk it all through.
But your life is about to change out there in the audience.
These numbers are horrific, and it's at the top of the first inning.
Remember, 81 was the tip after 4, 5, 6, 7 years of it.
peter navarro
Okay, short break.

Anthony Sabatini gets a hat tip.
Of course, Governor DeSantis gets the big hat tip.
We're going to get to all that.
Momentarily, we got school boards being taken over, we got summits by the Tea Party Patriots about becoming election officials, all of it.
I want to go back to, so Peter, walk me through just some basic numbers of the energy increases, the food increases, the rent increases, and I understand that the media wants to all kind of play it down to this core inflation, but real inflation for folks is energy, food, and rent.
What are those numbers?
peter navarro
Yeah, so headline, Steve, is 8.5% That includes energy and food, it's 6.5% when you do just the core X energy and food.
5% annual rate in shelter, okay?
And don't be wanting to get on an airline any time soon, because you had a 23.6% increase annualized for airline travel.
And look, the thing that we always focus on, Steve, is real wages.
How inflation is the cruelest tax just in one month alone.
There was a close to 1% decline in real wages.
And if you if you if you take that out over time, the people's people are going to be basically down close to 10% over the next 12 months in terms of their purchasing power.
So, that just jumps right out at you.
That jumps right out at you.
The only good news is, you can go buy a used car at a slightly lower price these days, but the rest of this, Steve... Let's re-emphasize one thing, because this is what I did back in the day, before the White House, the macro guy, right?
It's like, you have to understand, That the Federal Reserve is a one-trick pony, right?
If it wants to solve recession, it raises interest rates.
If it wants to basically stimulate the economy, it lowers interest rates, okay?
That trick does not work once you enter a stagflationary environment, because whatever the Fed does to solve one of those two problems, recession or inflation, will exacerbate the other one.
So the Fed cannot ride to the rescue on this, okay?
Can't done.
This is not the 08 crash.
They can't do it.
So that leaves it up to the politicians, the White House and the Congress.
Donald Trump knew how to do it.
They do everything wrong, which gets us into this mess to begin with.
That's where we are.
So strap in.
You'll have me.
On the show many, many times talking about this and I will lament every time that the Biden folks don't know what the hell they're doing.
And there it is.
steve bannon
We're heading towards a catastrophic recession.
Catastrophic.
I mean, fourth turning type recession.
Here's why.
Of the three tools you talked about on structural energy, get back to energy dominance, right now they're totally locked up by the Green New Deal.
They're talking about this ethanol thing, which is only going to increase smog, but that's so marginal.
Uh, you've got the supply chain issues they haven't even dealt with.
They're already compromised by the CCP.
The globalist corporations own them.
Wall Street owns them.
So they're not even dealing with that.
It's all happy talk.
He goes up to Pennsylvania to Scranton and says, I'm driven from Scranton.
And the border, they're exacerbating an invasion of the border.
They're exacerbating an invasion of the border.
unidentified
What's going on at the border is catastrophic.
peter navarro
And the problem we have is that the Putin War in Europe, essentially, is taking everybody's attention away from our own border, which is being attacked.
And this is unprecedented, what's going on down there.
And the problem is, when you have that kind of invasion, we're going to feel those effects for decades.
I mean, that's going to be on top of everything that we're facing.
So, catastrophe, I think, is the word of the day, but it's multi-dimensional in this case, Steve.
steve bannon
But the TV time on, there's a thing on Zero Hedge, the TV time on Ukraine is dropping off as we said it would, right?
And this wag the dog policy people are fed up with.
They see these numbers, they go into the gas pump, they go into the store to buy some food, they go have to pay rent.
This is catastrophic.
There's nobody there making decisions.
And right now the Fed, you're getting ready for a massive, massive recession that's coming.
Peter, you called it first.
Peter Navar, how do people follow you?
I know you're up on Getter non-stop, you're putting up information.
How do people follow you?
peter navarro
Yeah, there's the Twitter killer.
Go to PeterNavarro.com.
It's the gateway, basically, to everything else.
Go to Amazon.
Buy the In Trump Time book.
It's down the sale price now because it's off-season.
But that book is really important because it basically lays out everything that Trump did.
And it's what we need to keep doing.
And also, basically, she adds a lot of light on the January 6th witch hunt and why this election is truly a stolen election.
And Steve, your admission that catastrophic consequences come from stolen elections is, I think, a sign you have to get on your other shoulder besides the one you had.
steve bannon
I think I better trademark that.
Elections have consequences.
peter navarro
I think I better get it.
You're not elected.
Just like Cortez got you on Steve Getter, I got you on that.
Snooze you lose.
steve bannon
He's got inside baseball there.
Okay, thank you, Peter.
Let's bring in Richard Barris.
Barris, tell us about the polling so far.
We haven't even gotten to these numbers today.
That'll be in the next couple days.
What does the polling out there tell us about Biden's handling the economy and are the American people comfortable with what he's doing?
richard baris
Yeah, you know, Steve, thanks for having me on as always.
This is why this idea that the White House and Democrats were going to be able to blame This inflation problem on Ukraine and what was going on, really Vladimir Putin, and what was going on with Ukraine was ridiculous.
We were on your show right after the holidays with polling that showed people not only were experiencing shortages at the grocery store, but experiencing massive price increases on staple goods.
Right around this period in February, They did start to shift from this cost of living problem being about food and groceries, number one, to being more about gas prices.
This is why I sent the team, I don't know if they have it, but I sent them that graphic showing the overall CPI with food prices.
There it is.
They track almost identical.
People for almost a year were telling us they were paying massively more for stapled goods at the grocery store.
And gas prices just kind of compounded their problem, you know?
Of course they were going to see this.
Of course, you know, blaming Putin for this was never going to work.
And these reports actually piss me off.
Because, you know, just to add to the, you know, the headline of the day here, you know, thank you Mark Zuckerberg for announcing you don't plan to bribe election officials this year.
But this is what happens when, you know, the nation's elite think they know better than the sovereign voter.
They step in, they rig it, and Here we are because none of this was inevitable.
And don't take my word for it.
Read the ISM panel responses, both the services PMI and the manufacturing PMI.
In November, people were kind of holding back to see if Trump would hold on.
And as time went on and it became clear Joe Biden was going, you know, to get sworn in, they just they just pulled back, Steve.
And then, you know, supply chain issues.
We're made even worse by them pulling back on inventories.
Then we needed demand, so they built up too quickly.
The supply chain couldn't handle it.
Biden came in, reversed every policy that could have helped.
You know, I think Peter Navarro hit it.
There's nothing that can be done here.
And of course, voters are going to blame them for it, even if policymakers wanted to act.
Because at this point, the Fed waited too damn long.
We are in a bad spot.
It is too late for the Fed to take action.
steve bannon
Even the Fed taking action now is going to be so draconian, it's going to add to that fourth element.
You have energy, you have food, you have housing, and you add how you finance it on your credit card for the rest of your life.
And remember, our structure of our economy, the interest rates are so embedded in there.
Here's what I'm seeing downrange.
The anger now of working class people, the middle class, the anger is really going to kick in because they're going to say, why are you focused so much in Ukraine?
Why have you focused so much on the pandemic?
It's now an epidemic.
Why are you focused on all these cultural issues to poison our kids?
Why didn't you focus?
What did you do?
Why did you do this to the economy?
The anger is going to build.
And this is why I've been saying, Richard, this is not a normal midterm.
This is a unique opportunity to destroy the Democratic Party as a national political institution.
I think people are going to sit there and go, they're irresponsible, they're radical, they're irresponsible, and they're hapless and feckless.
And this is what I see building, because these numbers today, remember, these are flowing through people's lives.
They don't have a policy solution.
And so I think this is only going to build up.
We're at the beginning of this.
Richard Barris.
richard baris
Yeah, look at what happened in New York last week.
That was a Trump plus five district.
It went for Republicans by 32 points.
California 22, the race to replace Nunes, where Conway won that.
But look at the overall total vote for Republicans versus the Democrat.
The leading Democrat was in the 20s.
So yes, it was a Republican district.
But yeah, I think there is really omniscience everywhere.
If it was a one-off or two-off election, Steve, Yeah, that's it.
But this is the total picture now.
steve bannon
Richard, how do people get to you?
We gotta bounce.
richard baris
Yeah, peoplespundit.locals.com, Steve.
They can learn all about the polling project there and on Getter at People's Pundit.
steve bannon
Thank you very much, Richard Barris.
Okay, we're gonna bring Anthony Sabatini right after the break.
Big victory down in Florida.
Victories all over the place.
Victories for our movement.
Agony for our country.
That's what happens when stolen elections take place, you get an illegitimate regime.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
It is Passover and also Holy Week.
We're going to be going live to Ben Harnwell at the Vatican here at the top of the hour.
We've partnered with Lee Greenwood, God Bless the USA Bible.
Go to God Bless the USA Bible dot com.
There's a King James version of the Bible, plus all the founding documents of this country, divinely inspired founding documents, all in one binding.
OK, this is kind of a family.
I don't say heirloom because you can use it actively and you should use it actively every day.
Particularly as we go through times that are only going to get tougher.
We're going to really pay the penalty for this stolen election.
The penalty has not been paid yet.
That's all to come.
It's going to get a lot worse.
And thank God for this audience.
What you folks have done is unbelievable.
We've got stories about what's happening up in Wisconsin with Robin Voss.
Jenny Beth Martin is going to be on in a moment about the summits on voter integrity.
We've got A gentleman who fought the mass mandates up in the Buffalo area that's now taking over the school boards at every level of this war room policy.
What you're doing with the Pfizer situation investigation.
I can't tell you.
This audience has risen to the occasion.
And I couldn't be prouder.
It makes the show just such a pleasure to do and actually so easy to do since you guys are such activists.
I want to go to Anthony Sabatini.
He's in the house down in Florida.
He's running for Congress.
He's been at the forefront of this.
Can I put the article up?
It's an amazing article on Florida politics.
But, Anthony, I want you to break the news here of what happened, sir, because I think this is pretty monumental.
unidentified
Well, Steve, I got to hand it to you and the War Room Nation because, you know, just a few weeks ago, this was seemingly unfathomable.
We didn't think that Florida was going to be producing good maps for the country and good for the state, but things have really changed really quickly here in Florida.
So, breaking news yesterday.
The state legislative leadership said that they're going to allow Governor DeSantis to put forth and craft a congressional map that they will take up and debate at the special session, which begins a week from today here in the state of Florida, which I'll be voting on as a member of the state legislature.
That is a huge, huge, huge development and event.
You know, just a month, a few months ago, the legislature was putting forth maps that were great for the Democrat Party, would have created two to three new Democrat seats.
Just awful map that the governor interjected, vetoed the terrible legislative map and pushed for stronger maps.
But it was it was it was sort of up in the air about what was going to happen.
We didn't know if the legislators would dig in or if they're going to go along with the governor's plan.
And, you know, I got to hand it to Governor DeSantis.
You know, he made it very clear to them he was not going to accept anything except for a strong constitutional map that's good for the country.
And so that that's what's happening now.
The next step, of course, is The map that he's going to end up crafting and release, I assume it's going to be very similar to the one he already put forth.
He put forth a map to the legislature a couple months ago, and that back then the legislature acted in support.
But I expect either that map or something very similar to come back up and be debated.
But in the meantime, I would tell your listeners, I would tell everybody, every flag-waving American in the country to stay vigilant and to keep their eye on the legislature, make sure they do the right thing and follow through.
steve bannon
Oh, we're going to be all over this.
We're going to do the special session when it kicks off next Tuesday.
We'll be all over that for the opening.
Is the map, Kirby, if I'm wrong, the governor's map was 21-8?
Is that what it is?

Correct.
It would be 20-8 in a normal year, and it would go 21-7, depending on turnout.
steve bannon
21-7.
unidentified
Of course, that was a huge improvement on Well, actually, maybe even the 14 of 14.
steve bannon
I don't want to get into that, but this is why this is a prototype.
This is a combination of three things.
Legislatures like Anthony Sabatini and other heroes that would not become part of the swamp there in Tallahassee and agree with the RINOs.
Number two was a governor who will step into the breach and make tough calls and just hunker down.
And number three, That is a combination for victory.
who will make phone calls and let people know we have your back.
First off, tell the bad guys, hey, we know who you are.
We're going to expose you.
We're going to primary you.
We're going to defeat you.
Right.
And number two, tell the good guys, tell the Sabatini's and the census, we have your back.
We know what you're doing.
That is a combination for victory.
We can do that at every level from school board.
We're going to have the school board guy on here in a couple of segments.
You can do this at the school board level all the way up to the White House.
This is how it rolls.
This is a prototype.
We had our backs to the wall when this thing started.
It looked like a done deal.
And it was turned around by a combination.
It takes a combination.
You need, and this is what you see in Tennessee.
This is what you're seeing in Florida.
You have legislators that can be heroic.
If they know people have their backs, and governors who step in, and Tennessee was the opposite, it was the legislatures, and we're going to get the Speaker in Tennessee, he's going to join us here in the next day or two.
But Anthony, I can't speak highly of it.
No, look, this is not over.
Remember, it's never over until it's over.
This is not over yet.
The special session comes in next week, but at least that headline is they demur to DeSantis' map.
And so he called a special session, he called their bluff, and now it's game on.
Anthony Sabatini, any closing words?
At least at this stage, all things are possible, are they not?
unidentified
Absolutely, but yeah, like I mentioned earlier, everybody should be staying super focused on this item.
We've got seven days, but it'll be over in ten days.
We want to make sure a good, strong product gets finished, and then also people need to keep their eye on what happens afterwards, because The national media and some of the left wing lawyers and political types of the Democrat Party already salivating, waiting to engage on this topic, whether it be lawsuits or whatever.
Mark Elias, a lot of these really cool guys who fight this at the legal level are already tweeting about it and talk about it.
We're going to need, you know, every good American conservative patriot stand up and stand with legislators who have had the courage to get this done when it gets done.
steve bannon
To get the hundred seat majority, the hundred seat pickup this year, we always said we've got to start the redistricting.
Look, people say it's boring.
It's actually not.
It's quite fascinating how this happens in the state capitals, but it's vitally important.
Oh, the mainstream media is going to come out next week.
They're going to be hammering you and DeSantis and Worms as a bunch of white nationalist racists.
Just bang, bang, bang.
And Mark Elias is already raising money for the lawsuit.
That's all going to happen.
But you've got to win these a step at a time.
Step at a time.
And victory begets victory.
Sabatini, we need guys like you in Congress.
Did anybody ever tell you that?
How do people find out about you and your race, sir?
unidentified
Well, thank you, Steve.
Sabatini4Congress.com is the website for every social media platform.
And I would love to hear your guys' feedback.
Thank you for the support, and let's win this thing.
steve bannon
Okay, let's get everybody on there and tell Sabatini what we think.
Anthony, thank you very much for joining us.
Jenny Beth Martin, Tea Party Patriots have been essential.
Jenny Beth, you know, big announcement.
Cleta Mitchell, big win.
Dave Bossie, big win.
Zuckerberg just said, no mas, not going to put any more money into this thing.
By the way, I think eventually there'll be criminal charges, but hey, that's just me.
So no more $400 million in a midterm to try to steal an election, which is what they did.
Tell us what the Tea Party Patriots, you're going to start doing a series of summits.
Can you tell us what's it about and how can people get involved?
unidentified
Absolutely.
So we are doing summits in key states around the country.
We are partnering with the Conservative Partnership Institute and Cleta Mitchell, and then also the Virginia Institute for Public Policy.
The summits that we're doing are to teach people how to build permanent election integrity infrastructures in their states.
We've already done summits in Georgia and Arizona.
And Pennsylvania and Florida.
We have our next one in Virginia on April 22nd and 23rd.
April 22nd and 23rd for all the Virginians watching right now.
And then we will be in Michigan and Nevada for summits in May.
And I'm doing a statewide tour in Wisconsin in May as well.
We're all over the country in these key states.
I've done 58 speeches on election integrity.
Most of them are really two hour lectures.
And we're teaching people how to build local election integrity task forces based on a model that Cleta Mitchell developed.
steve bannon
And so when people come out of these, if they go to the summit, tell me what they learn.
What are the workshops?
What do people come out?
Because this is a huge thing for us.
We say, look, the election board's got to take over.
But we need not just poll watchers.
We need poll workers and election officials.
Jenny Beth.
unidentified
Right, so that is a very important part.
We do need people who are going to work the polls, whether it's in Pennsylvania and called election judges and inspectors of elections, in Virginia it's election officials, whatever your state calls it, poll managers, poll workers, we need people working the polls.
We need that more than we need poll watchers.
So if you have to choose between which you can do, be a paid poll worker.
And then above and beyond that, there are seven other steps.
Of course, we focus on grassroots lobbying and working on legislation, like in the segment you were just talking about, making sure we get the right bills passed and blocking bad bills.
We have six other steps that include engaging with your local election board and building relationships with them so you understand what they're doing.
And you can make sure that before elections ever start, They're following the law and that the system that they're developing makes sense, getting knee-deep in absentee ballots, helping protect vulnerable voters.
We're doing that with the American Constitutional Rights Union and Laurie Roman.
So we're partnering with other groups who are experts in particular areas, but there are eight key steps.
When they go to the summit, we spend about an hour on each step.
It's hardcore, roll-up-your-sleeves training.
It's not a lot of fluff and pep rally speeches.
So we have a few of those to keep people awake, but it's a lot of teaching people what they need to do to build a local election integrity task force.
And Steve, the people in Virginia have already started doing this, and they filled 90% of their election day shifts last year for election officials and poll watchers.
So we're not going to have to focus quite as much on that part in Virginia, but we want to make sure they're aware throughout the entire state of all the other aspects that a local election integrity task force needs to do constantly day in and day out.
steve bannon
This is key.
This is, remember, during the 2020 election, I think it was 33 percent.
During the last gubernatorial, it was 25 percent.
If you want to stop stolen elections, right, you got to show up.
And Virginia had over 90 percent.
That's what these summits are about.
Before I get back to Doolittle one more time and give us the information on the summit, because I want to make sure people go to your site and get engaged, you were one of the leaders in 2010 of the historic 63-seat sweep of the House of Representatives for the Tea Party movement.
What's your feeling right now as you sit here in April, you know, on Holy Week?
We've got, what, six months to go before Election Day.
What's your sense of how this is lining up vis-a-vis a 2010?
With energy, topics, issues, all that.
unidentified
I think that people right now today are A thousand times angrier than they were in 2010.
And I have been to 11 states in the past 10 weeks.
I am plugged in with the people on the ground.
I know what they're thinking.
I'm as angry as they are.
And that's part of why I am determined to make sure that we are restoring faith in the elections and we're doing everything we can to protect our elections in 2022.
And I think that's one of the biggest concerns people have.
Are we going to have a repeat of 2020?
or not, so we're doing everything that we can to make sure we have clean, secure elections where every legal vote is counted and only legal votes are counted.
But people are angry, Steve.
They are mad and they're getting engaged.
And I think at this point, we're like, we don't even need to bother trying to do rallies and protests in Washington, D.C.
They are completely tone deaf.
So we're rolling up our sleeves.
People are running for office.
They're getting engaged with their school boards or election boards or county commissions or city councils, and they're holding the feet to the fire locally and all the way up to the top of government.
And that's what we have to do.
In 2010, people didn't know everything they needed to do.
Today, we do.
So instead of just being angry and throwing things at the TV and going and holding signs, which has a place and is important to do, we're doing a lot of other work that's behind the scenes that may not even be on the radar, but we are preparing and we're determined to do everything we can to create a check on Biden's administration come November.
steve bannon
A check?
How about we're gonna start with impeachment?
He'll check that.
Okay, Jane Beth, just hang on a second.
Short break, short break.
You told me he's a thousand times more intense.
I gotta have you back after the break.

Okay, welcome back.
We have Jenny Beth Martin.
Jenny Beth, one more time, give us the... By the way, you said 1,000 times more jacked up, and I remember you in the spring of 2010 doing rallies and doing all the rallies.
In fact, I'd just come out with Generation Zero.
You were very helpful in us pushing that out.
But the rallies were just absolutely amazing.
You had people jacked up all over the country, and we came from nowhere and won 63 seats, the biggest since, I think, 1952.
and really the one of the biggest realignment since 1932.
So it was just absolutely, absolutely incredible.
And you think people are much more, and I agree, I think they're focused.
We don't need rallies.
You got the President Trump rallies, those are great, but I mean, the big Tea Party rallies, we don't.
People are pumped up enough, I think, about what to do, and now we need to go to work.
Jenny Beth Martin, how do people go to work?
How are you gonna put them to work?

And Steve, every single week we have action items for people to take, just small little action items that are important.
Right now we really are focused on driving attention to reopening the Keystone Pipeline and And even if we don't win every battle right now, it's important to engage on these battles so that when we win in November, we can work to pass legislation to do the things that we need to see happen.
And a lot of things need to be passed by law.
We need to get away from all these executive orders.
And we may still have a little bit of time before we can accomplish that.
But I'm in this for the long haul because our country is just too precious.
To get so angry that I walk away from it all.
I'm not walking away, I'm holding on to liberty.
steve bannon
No, no, no.
We're going to fight for that.
We're going to take it over from the school boards, the election boards, the precinct committees, all the way up to the House and the Senate, and then 24, the White House.
And we're going to destroy it.
This is not just an election about winning seats.
This is about destroying At the ballot box, the Democratic Party as a national political institution.
We have it right in front of us.
If we execute, it will happen.
Jenny Beth Martin on social media.
How do people get to you, Jenny Beth?
unidentified
Jenny Beth M. J-E-N-N-Y-B-E-T-H-M-S-M, Martin.
steve bannon
Thank you, Jenny Beth.
Appreciate it.
Fight on, girl.
Okay, now, talking about school boards.
Roughly, I think there's 13,000, but I think the rule of thumb is roughly 10,000 school boards and 100,000 school board seats.
We've got to take them over.
We've got to take over every school board, even in progressive, that we have to take over every school board, and we have to take over every school board seat.
There's a war against the American family we want to bring in now.
From Western New York, up in the Buffalo area, Robbie De Niro from Athletes Unleashed.
You've been a troublemaker for a while in this whole situation before you get involved in the school boards.
Didn't you take New York State to court a couple of times about the whole mass mandates and lockdowns and all that, sir?
unidentified
Hi, Steve.
Thanks for having me on.
Proudly so.
Yes, I have been a thorn in the side of the state.
We fought the state.
We were able to open to 100% capacity.
Well, everybody else was closed because they didn't stand up for their rights and fight.
And we did.
And then we sued Orchard Park School District to go back to school because they did not want to return to full-time instruction.
We sued them and we won.
steve bannon
This is a lot of this deal with the unions, but now you're, after that, you're very much focused.
There's a great article, we'll get it up on the screen, but also I want Captain Bannon to put it in all the different chat rooms so people can read it from the Buffalo area.
You've now focused with other, and you've put together a coalition among other like-minded groups to take over school boards.
Tell us what's going, and it seems like you're winning because they're in full meltdown there.
What's happening, sir?
unidentified
We have, we absolutely are winning.
Fight for Your Family Initiative is a group that I helped found and it's simply an umbrella organization where parents can know if the Fight for Your Family Network endorses a candidate that the candidate stands for freedom.
The candidate will always fight for parents first and students first and we work with lots of other organizations like Western New York Students First and other volunteer organizations whose sole mission is to elect the right people to the school boards because School boards set the policy and the tone for the school.
And that has to be based on deep, introspective, meaningful conversation with the parents of the communities they serve.
And right now, school boards are failing to do that.
I exist.
I exist and all these angry parents exist because school boards are failing our students and our families.
And they are simply becoming lackeys of the states and the unions.
And it's sad.
steve bannon
Is that why we have so many screwed up school boards, is that the unions control a lot of these?
unidentified
I think we have screwed up school boards from unions really dictating what the school boards are doing, school boards being scared to push back against the state.
I think that the state loves to hold school districts hostage with money, and because the school boards are so fearful of losing money, that they are willing to Concede on topics that they have no business conceding on.
For instance, allowing the government to co-parents with us, and allowing the government to mask up our kids, and allowing the government to force things that they shouldn't be forced.
You know, right now they're talking about forcing sexual education down to kindergartners, and that has to be a parent's choice.
Parents know their children best.
Parents have to be the ones that are entrusted to educate kids on topics like that, not our school districts, and not the government.
And we need school districts that are willing to stand up for parents and parents' rights.
And that's what this is about.
That's why these angry moms are ready to, they're coming out in full force.
They're running for the school board seats because they're tired of their families getting messed with, and we're gonna make sure they win.
steve bannon
Robbie, real quickly, how do people get to your initiative and how they get to you on social media, sir?
