This is what you're fighting for. | ||
unidentified
|
I mean, every day you're out there. | |
What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
unidentified
|
Because this is just like in Arizona. | |
This is just like in Georgia. | ||
It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
unidentified
|
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | |
As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
unidentified
|
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
War Room Battleground. | ||
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
Okay, thanks. | ||
Welcome to the Battleground. | ||
It's Thursday, 19 May, Year of Our Lord 2022. | ||
Just something to take away from the first hour. | ||
In well over a million ballots, I think, gosh, a million two hundred thousand plus, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we had John Frederickson on. | ||
This thing in Pennsylvania, I think, is going to come down to less than a thousand Votes for victory. | ||
The lesson here, and I want everybody in the War Room Posse, the Vanguard, the Cadre, whatever element you're in, to understand every vote matters. | ||
Every vote matters. | ||
And obviously what's happening in Pennsylvania, we've got to get this election system cleaned up. | ||
To me, it's outrageous. | ||
We'd be here on, it's Thursday, and they're talking about now there's 7,000 ballots up in Allegheny County. | ||
I mean, how does this work? | ||
People are going to lose confidence in these things. | ||
And I'm not—you know, President Trump told ASEA they'd just declare victory, which I recommend to President Trump they should do at 10 o'clock on election night. | ||
But people that are working hard, it's very bizarre how you can find a pocket full of a couple hundred votes in Philadelphia. | ||
This thing's got to get sorted. | ||
And MAGA's got to do it. | ||
We cannot not vote. | ||
Let me repeat this. | ||
We got Jake Beckett coming up here. | ||
We got Jay Collins coming up here. | ||
A couple of warriors fighting. | ||
These things, right now, the country's so... | ||
Republican Party between MAGA, Ultra MAGA, the establishment, and the people kind of can't make up their minds. | ||
These massive races now are coming down to under a thousand votes in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. | ||
Think about that for a second. | ||
Every vote matters. | ||
And two races on, really in three, I take Alabama. | ||
Alabama, Georgia and Arkansas all have this rule about the 50%. | ||
You got to get there to win in the first round. | ||
And right now, I mean, the whole debate in Georgia is, is this, are they going to keep Kemp? | ||
I mean, there are polls coming out that shows Kemp's well ahead of Purdue. | ||
Purdue's one chance is to keep him under 50 and fight another day. | ||
In Arkansas and Alabama, it looks like, I mean, Bozeman's right on the, on the cut line. | ||
And it's because of Jake Beckett has put the, put the heat on him. | ||
And, you know, he voted today, he was a no on the $40 billion bailout. | ||
And I'm sure he got permission from Mitch McConnell because he understands that bill is so radioactive, the bailout for the Ukrainian oligarchs, that he'd have been done if he had voted for that. | ||
That's how intense these races are. | ||
Look, it's a good news because right now, Politics is the greatest contact sport out there, and I'm including football and rugby and some pretty tough games, right? | ||
Aussie rules football, you know, the Celtic football they play over in Ireland. | ||
And I tell you, a guy can tell you that. | ||
Let's go, Jake Beck has rolled over to the second hour of our show, the Battleground show. | ||
Jake, you're a professional. | ||
First of all, you're a great Arkansas Razorback football player. | ||
Then you played for the New England Patriots. | ||
Everybody knows the standards of the Patriots, right? | ||
And then you go to Ranger School and you go to the revered, historic 101st Airborne and go overseas and serve your country. | ||
So you know about contact sports. | ||
Have you, were you prepared for how dirty politics would get to be? | ||
And let me be blunt about this. | ||
You know, for a guy that had a daughter that was in the 101st and the 329 combat engineers over there and had gone to West Point and you're, as a parent, you're so, every night you're praying because it's out of your control. | ||
It's in God's hands. | ||
And we got Jay Collins coming on here next, another warrior. | ||
Everything you go through, all the toughness you had to go through, and all the trials for Ranger School, and the pride of having your parents come down there, to have A group of guys, a guy that never served, right, doing this in a campaign that they're all hiding behind their consultants that put a mail around because they're too gutless to put it up on TV. | ||
One of the reasons they can't put it up on TV, I'm sure, because it doesn't check out. | ||
And the TV would have a standard to make it check out. | ||
So, Jake, what do you have to say to these folks overall? | ||
Is that Arkansas values? | ||
Is Arkansas values attacking a patriot for his patriotism? | ||
Sir, particularly from people who probably didn't step up and serve their country? | ||
No, it's a smear, just as we said last hour. | ||
I mean, they really, you know, Senator Bozeman, he came out and said he's not going to debate. | ||
He can't go on TV. | ||
I mean, he's an old man who, let's just be honest, he can barely speak. | ||
He doesn't talk in his own ads. | ||
He hides behind surrogates and all these super PACs. | ||
And he just throws out these smears at the last second. | ||
You're exactly right. | ||
They sent these smears in the mail because if they put him on TV, we'd sue him and get it taken down because it's false and defamatory. | ||
But that's where we are. | ||
I mean, this is a bare knuckle brawl for this seat in the U.S. | ||
Senate. | ||
And look, John Bozeman, he knows that if he goes to this runoff, You know, if he does not get 50% on May 24th, we're going to win this runoff. | ||
And look, just overall, Steve, I mean, I joined the Army because I wanted to be where the fight is. | ||
You know, I wanted to go into the infantry. | ||
I went through Ranger school. | ||
I deployed to Iraq. | ||
And, you know, I'm in this race. | ||
I'm in politics right now because I want to be where the fight is. | ||
And this is the fight of our lives. | ||
This is the fight of our generation. | ||
It's right here. | ||
It's domestic. | ||
It's political. | ||
Because if we're going to save this country, we have to have real conservative warriors, real America First patriots, not just empty suit hacks with an R next to their name, or else we're done. | ||
If you're unwilling or incapable of standing up and leading on the issues that matter in a deep red state like Arkansas, we're not going to lose this seat to the Democrats. | ||
This is all about who we're going to have representing us. | ||
In the Republican primary. | ||
And look, I've demonstrated. | ||
I've taken the hard stances. | ||
I've come on your show. | ||
And we're making a difference. | ||
I mean, we're already fighting for election integrity here in Arkansas because they tried to kick me off the ballot. | ||
They had my name wrong in multiple counties. | ||
And now, clearly, you know, my appearance on your show last week forced John Bozeman to vote against this Ukrainian aid package. | ||
So we're already making a difference, but it's not going to be permanent unless we win. | ||
If Bozeman's able to beat me, he's going to revert back to what he's done for the last 20 years and just be an establishment hack of the uniparty. | ||
unidentified
|
So we have to win or else this is all for nothing. | |
Hang on a second. | ||
I just want folks to understand this because of the great patriots down in Arkansas and what Arkansas has meant to this nation and the sacrifices the men and women of Arkansas have made to build this nation and also to protect it on battlefields overseas. | ||
Are you telling me That in smearing a Army Ranger that went to Ranger School Gustav and served in the 101st and deployed, that Bozeman has not debated you in this entire process? | ||
He took it a step further, Steve. | ||
He said publicly that he would not debate me. | ||
He refused. | ||
I was at an event. | ||
I was literally there in Fort Smith, Arkansas. | ||
When a voter stood up and asked him, you know, hey, Jake Beckett's here. | ||
You know, this primary is going to be close. | ||
You know, will you debate Jake Beckett? | ||
And he just said, no, I won't. | ||
I'm too busy. | ||
That was his excuse. | ||
He's too busy. | ||
But in reality, we all know the truth. | ||
You know, he's incapable of speaking for himself. | ||
He just hides behind his endorsements, his surrogates, these crazy super PACs. | ||
And he's just hoping that if he hides in his basement, then it's going to be enough. | ||
I mean, he's trying to use the Joe Biden strategy. | ||
But it's not working. | ||
I mean, thanks to you and so many other fire-breathers in conservative media, I've been able to get my message out. | ||
The voters are informed. | ||
We're raising our name ID, and I think we're going to force this runoff on May 24th. | ||
What I would tell the folks in Arkansas is the following. | ||
Hey, even if you're not for Beckett, you keep him under 50%, you get in a runoff, he's got to debate. | ||
He's a United States Senator. | ||
He's got to debate somebody. | ||
You just can't blow off folks. | ||
Beckett's served his nation. | ||
He's not earned a place on the podium to sit there and debate the topics of the day. | ||
Is that the way we roll in Arkansas? | ||
I don't think folks in Arkansas are like that at all. | ||
I'm kind of surprised by that. | ||
Jake, you've got four days. | ||
What has to happen in your campaign, do you believe, to keep Bozeman under 50% to actually force a runoff? | ||
Yeah, so there's four of us in this primary. | ||
You know, there's three candidates who have pretty good name ID and who are out there. | ||
So I think it's very possible, if not likely, that Senator Bozeman is going to be under 50 and I'll come in second place and we'll advance to the runoff. | ||
And as you said, I mean, I can't wait for that because, you know, he can't get away with the excuse that he's too busy to debate in the runoff when he's fighting for his political survival. | ||
So, you know, I think at the very least, the people of Arkansas should vote against him to keep him under 50, just to hear him talk about the issues of the day and defend his record, which he's never done. | ||
I mean, it's just that this guy's been in the D.C. | ||
Witness Protection Program for 20 years, and that might have been good enough in the Reagan-Tip O'Neill days in the 80s, but that's just not good enough anymore. | ||
Jake, how do people get to your campaign site to find out more about you? | ||
And by the way, you're going to have your DD-214 up there. | ||
You'll have your, we've had it there, your diploma, your papers from Ranger School, all of it, the receipts. | ||
Jake Beckett brought the receipts. | ||
Captain Bannon took a look at them, said these are good to go. | ||
So everybody will get to take a look at how they get to your campaign site. | ||
Yeah, I've got nothing to hide, Steve. | ||
My campaign site is JakeBeckett.com. | ||
That's Jake, not Jack Beckett. | ||

We're on all social media. | ||
Come check us out. | ||
Support us. | ||
We're going to get this thing done on May 24th and go to the runoff and win. | ||
Jake, very honored to have you on here, sir. | ||
Thank you very much. | ||
Thank you, Steve. | ||
in the commonwealth of pennsylvania forty two million dollars i think it was forty two million dollars spent in the senate primary and they're still counting and they're right now i think it's projected under a thousand votes will decide it every vote counts we're gonna go out to california in a second to the uh... to the rally out there humanity against censorship we've got nicole Now, Grady has been nice enough to step in today and be a correspondent for us out there. | ||
We've got so many friends and colleagues that we've had on the show, but we needed somebody to kind of go out there and organize it for us, so we appreciate what she's done at the last second. | ||
But I've got to go to Florida first. | ||
Jay Collins. | ||
From Florida 15, the Tampa area, another great warrior running in a Republican primary. | ||
Jay, tell our audience about yourself. | ||
Why have you decided to get into the nastiest of all contact sports? | ||
That would be elective politics in this day and age. | ||
What possessed you to do that, sir? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I'll tell you what, first off, Steve, thank you for having me on here. | |
It was great to hear Jake talk about all the things that he's doing down there. | ||
We wish him nothing but the best of luck. | ||
America needs people like him. | ||
But why did I get into this? | ||
I'm a 23 year retired Green Beret. | ||
I lost my leg at about 18 and a half years from combat injuries many years prior and continue to serve for five and a half years. | ||
The hard things don't scare me, but in the end, there's two words that really mean a lot to me, husband and father. | ||
I have two little boys that are seven and 10. | ||
If we don't defend this nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and take back this country and put it back on the path it's supposed to be, then it's all lost and it's all done for nothing. | ||
That's why I'm running. | ||
I'm a true patriot. | ||
I'm America first. | ||
I believe in what our nation stands for. | ||
Jay, explain to our audience for a second, how does one lose a leg and stay with the unit like the Green Berets? | ||
How do you continue to serve? | ||
I thought that you would be medically discharged. | ||
Tell us about that. | ||
unidentified
|
Well, you know, I got hurt in 2007 and just kept marching on, trying to serve, be a Green Beret, fly to airplanes, blow things up, shoot guns. | |
Be the things that make us who we are. | ||
And several years down the road, about six and a half later, we finally figured out why I was having so many problems, so much pain, so much discomfort. | ||
And they amputated my leg. | ||
Three months later, I did my first triathlon. | ||
Six months, a half marathon. | ||
One year later, I re-qualified as a Green Beret. | ||
I ended up doing every single thing I'd ever done as a Green Beret. | ||
People told me it couldn't be done. | ||
They said that it was time to hang it up. | ||
But in the end, I believe in serving our country. | ||
I believe in setting a standard for my children. | ||
And if not me, then who? | ||
If not now, then when? | ||
I wasn't ready to quit serving. | ||
And hopefully that's why we're doing what we're doing now. | ||
Hold it. | ||
You recall, you went back and recalled as a Green Beret after you, after you had your injury? | ||
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
And nobody wants to be the weak link, right? | ||
If I can't hold my place in my tribe, I don't deserve to be there. | ||
All I wanted was an opportunity. | ||
That's what our country's founded on. | ||
Opportunity plus hard work yields outcome. | ||
That's why I did what I did. | ||
I believe in the men and women serving in our military and my brothers on my left and right. | ||
And I wanted her in my place. | ||
I'm so grateful for the opportunity and we made the most of it. | ||
Jay, if you were in the House, let's say you win the primary and then win the seat, you're in the House. | ||
The other day the House voted and the Senate voted today. | ||
$40 billion, $20 billion of it in military aid and equipment, another $20 billion in various, everything from bailing out the Ukrainian pension funds to a whole raft of other stuff for the European Union. | ||
In the European Commission. | ||
Given you're a frontline warrior, obviously with a very serious injury in defense of your country and our liberties, and you know, Jake Beckett the other day came out and said he was a hard no and forced Bozeman to vote no to shock everybody in the Senate. | ||
What would your vote have been in the House of Representatives if you were in Congress on this $40 billion aid package? | ||
unidentified
|
Absolutely a hard no. | |
You know, I know inflation is out of control, but to think that it's a $40 billion earmark from Biden when Trump was providing his security through strength for free, that's pretty out of control. | ||
It's unequivocally wrong. | ||
In the end, we've got to take care of our country, our American citizens, and focus on solving problems here domestically. | ||
Jay, when you're down there in Tampa in Florida 15, give me the one or two things. | ||
What are folks telling you? | ||
Hey, this is what we want you to do when you go to Washington. | ||
These are our priorities for you as our congressman. | ||
What do they say? | ||
unidentified
|
Well, I'll tell you what, it's America first, right? | |
I believe the words have meaning. | ||
I'm not going to be a congressman. | ||
I'm going to be a representative. | ||
I believe that in doing that, we have to ask the American people and our constituents what it is you believe. | ||
They want a secure border. | ||
They want us to back our blue. | ||
They want us to secure the interior. | ||
They want us to take the out-of-control spending and right-size that. | ||
We can't continue to spend generational levels of money, money that my children's children's children aren't going to have. | ||
But the thing that I really want to start with, and I've heard over and over and over, the left want to divide us. | ||
They tell us we're an evil nation divided by race, creed, color, gender. | ||
Man, that's hogwash. | ||
We have so much more in common across this country. | ||
We've got to bring this country together with American first principles and values. | ||
That's what this is all about. | ||
So it's security, economy, and unity. | ||
I think we can say that you're somewhere between MAGA and UltraMAGA, maybe leading us to the UltraMAGA side. | ||
Jay, it's been an honor. | ||
How do people find out more about you? | ||
What's your social media handles and how they get to your campaign site? | ||
unidentified
|
Steve, I appreciate that. | |
So you can check us out at jaycollinsforcongress.com. | ||
That's J-A-Y-C-O-L-L-I-N-S-F-O-R-Congress.com. | ||
You can also text Jay, that's J-A-Y, to 87467. | ||
And our handles are AskJayCollinsFL. | ||
Jay, thank you very much. | ||
Good luck down there in Florida 15. | ||
The free state of Florida. | ||
We love it down there. | ||
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
A lot of staffers from there. | ||
unidentified
|
God bless you. | |
I appreciate you having me. | ||
Honored. | ||
Honored, always honored to have you on here, Green Beret. | ||
Okay, let's go ahead. | ||
We're going to go to California. | ||
Our correspondent out there, Nicole Negrete, has stepped in at the last second and pulled this together. | ||
We really thank her. | ||
Nicole, it's Humanity Against Censorship. | ||
You're in Menlo Park outside the headquarters of Facebook. | ||
Mark Zuckerberg, who our audience is such a huge fan of, put us in the room. | ||
Tell us what's going on out there, ma'am. | ||
unidentified
|
All right, so we are standing in front of One Hacker Way. | |
We've got people driving by, honking. | ||
We have probably a few hundred people here, if you can see all the signs behind me. | ||
And it is hot out here, but people are really dedicated to stand out here, even though they're dying of heat, because we are sick and tired of having our voices silenced, shadowbanned, and censored. | ||
So, Nicole, you've got a cross-section. | ||
We've had Kevin Jenkins on early in the show, in the early hour. | ||
We had Renette, who's running for governor of California. | ||
You've got Bobby Kennedy Jr. | ||
You've got Naomi Wolf. | ||
But tell me, what is the beef of the audience? | ||
I mean, Facebook is a publicly traded company. | ||
It's one of the biggest companies in the world. | ||
Zuckerberg's going to tell you, hey, Nicole, I'm sure you don't like the way we run the company, but we do have certain rules. | ||
What is the general complaint of the citizens out there? | ||
unidentified
|
The general complaint of the citizens is that they're being shadowbanned. | |
People aren't seeing their posts. | ||
People are even complaining that followers are being removed from their pages. | ||
On top of that, people are complaining that they have friends that are more on the liberal side, and they're doing just fine on Facebook and having no issues. | ||
So there's obviously a discrepancy between political sides of the aisle as to who's being censored and who isn't. | ||
We have some amazing signs out here. | ||
We have Facebook censorship enriches billionaires. | ||
I'm just gonna say we have some amazing signs out here. | ||
We have Facebook censorship enriches billionaires. | ||
We have censorship is a tool of the tyrants. | ||
Let me ask you, you've got a crowd out there that you have a big vaccine safety crowd, right? | ||
You've got Naomi Wolf. | ||
You've got Bobby Kennedy Jr. | ||
And then I noticed you were at the premiere of 2,000 Mules. | ||
Zuckerberg brings a whole other level of intensity. | ||
Is the crowd mainly, you think, vaccine safety? | ||
Or do we have some of the 3 November 2,000 Mules, Zuckerberg and Facebook? | ||
Because if you put anything up there at all, I would say, you know, primarily a lot of people's focus here is actually vaccines. | ||
anything about the election, you were immediately taken off. | ||
So is any of the crowd out there part of the 3 November movement? | ||
unidentified
|
I would say, you know, primarily a lot of people's focus here is actually vaccines. | |
I'm seeing a lot of vaccine signs, and I wouldn't mind talking to people a little more about 2,000 mules because I don't think people are even aware that 2,000 mules was released because the leak from the Supreme Court with Roe vs. Wade came out the same day that 2,000 mules came out, and I think it completely overshadowed it. | ||
So a lot of people aren't even aware of the documentary. | ||
Is out there now in California the vaccine safety issue? | ||
How big a deal is it? | ||
And how big a deal are they taking the suppression of the information, of Facebook basically shutting down? | ||
I mean, we had Renette on here who's running for governor. | ||
I think every site she's had has been shut down. | ||
How big a deal is the vaccine issue in California? | ||
unidentified
|
California is a tough one because there's a lot of pro-vaccine folks here in California, but now people are getting a lot louder with the anti-vaccine crowd, really just the pro-choice crowd. | |
You know, pro-choice has been a big subject lately, and not only, you know, the abortion issue, but with vaccines, and it seems that it's really unfair that pro-choice counts on one side for one thing, but not on the other. | ||
Walk me through, you've also been an activist, I think, in getting rid of Gavin Newsom. | ||
How big is the specter of Gavin Newsom and Gavin Newsom's current campaign for governor? | ||
Because he's going to be, I tell you, on November 8th, I keep saying this, if Gavin Newsom wins the governorship out there by 20 points, and if Gavin Newsom's sitting on a $250 million war chest, Gavin Newsom's going to be one of the dominant politicians. | ||
And what we're going to see, in fact, the reason we're out here today with you guys, is I believe 2024 is going to be California versus America. | ||
It's going to be woke, Yes. | ||
versus MAGA with Gavin Newsom as the leader. | ||
How big a deal, you guys had an epic, we covered it nonstop, you had an epic attempt to take Gavin Newsom out in the recall, but how big a deal is Gavin Newsom out there today, and particularly about the vaccine issue and about election integrity? | ||
unidentified
|
I have to tell you, a lot of people are not fans Pretty much everyone I talk to, and it really doesn't matter if they're liberal or conservative, people do not like what he has done to the state of California. | |
And we tried really, really hard to get him recalled, and my own personal belief is that there was a lot of cheating, just like in the 2020 election, and that I personally believe that he probably did get recalled because they called the election in his favor 20 minutes after they closed the polls. | ||
Now, that's a pretty big record if you ask me, because with Malin voting, how on earth would they be able to count all of the votes and call the election for him in that timeframe? | ||
It just doesn't make any sense to me. | ||
Now, what were you asking about? | ||
California? | ||
What do you think the possibility, is there anybody out there, we had Renette on here, is there any candidate you see out there that can actually give, as you see it right now, just having gone through this recall, that can give Gavin Newsom a run for his money? | ||
Because if he wins by 20 points, and he's going to sit on a massive war chest, he's going to be the dominant Democratic politician in this nation. | ||
unidentified
|
Personally, I really like a gentleman named Sean Collins. | |
Now, his following is a little bit small because it all comes down to money. | ||
He needs a lot of funding behind him, but I highly suggest that people in California watching, check out Sean Collins. | ||
And I also really, really like Renette. | ||
You know, money. | ||
It all comes down to money. | ||
And so if I have any suggestion, it's just anyone here that has anything to offer go ahead and Okay, we've lost a woman Why don't we go ahead and drop the signal and try to pick him back up through the break and we'll go ahead. | ||
Have we got Brandon right now? | ||
Struck him? | ||
Don't? | ||
Okay. | ||
He's going to come at 630. | ||
Okay, fine. | ||
Anybody? | ||
Oh, Joe Allen. | ||
I got my own Joe Allen. | ||
That's Nicole Negrete. | ||
She's out there today to help organize. | ||
We're going to try to get the live feed. | ||
Here's why this is important. | ||
Joe Allen joins me now. | ||
Here's why this is important. | ||
You've got a corporate headquarters out there of Facebook, and Facebook has done so much to suppress everything. | ||
I mean, I think we've been kicked off Facebook so many times. | ||
I'm not sure we're still up there. | ||
And you've got a group, and this is not people you think would be traditional Trump supporters. | ||
You've got Naomi Wolf, who now has become one of the leaders in this vaccine passport. | ||
You've got Bobby Kennedy Jr. | ||
Obviously, the family is a historic Democratic family. | ||
But they're taking on the big corporations. | ||
You heard Kevin Jenkins in the first hour. | ||
This is the globalist versus the nationalist. | ||
And you've got these globalist corporations that are not putting America first. | ||
And here in the vaccine safety, and this is why we've really gotten to know the people at Children's Health Defense, you've had these vaccine safety folks that have been shut down everywhere. | ||
I mean, to me, even with election fraud and the Wuhan lab and everything we can list that we're on, The vaccine is the most radioactive of all. | ||
That's where Big Pharma and Big Tech come together to suppress it. | ||
Let me bring in Joe Allen. | ||
Joe, we're going to talk about a lot. | ||
We've got a lot of things to talk about transhumanism. | ||
But let me ask you first off about Facebook, Zuckerberg, I mean, Meta. | ||
It's called Meta now. | ||
Where do they stand actually in transitioning the company from Facebook to Metaverse? | ||
They're still going at it hard, Steve. | ||
A lot of other companies have jumped in on the Metaverse project. | ||
They've got a ton of funding and a ton of talent going into them, but Facebook in many ways is still the frontrunner, if not one among many. | ||
You know, on the topic of suppressing information about the harms of the vaccine or suppressing any information that over the last two years, two and a half years, Would have perhaps led to less draconian policies. | ||
You know, the two big issues I see with these big tech corporations, whether it be Google or Facebook or Twitter, are surveillance and information control. | ||
And I think they both play into one another as they surveil the populations that are enmeshed in their social networks. | ||
They're able to really judge on an aggregate level where the public opinion is. | ||
And as they control, whether it be by boosting or suppression, the information that people are allowed to consume, they're able to watch in real time the propaganda spread across their networks. | ||
I think that is a power that really no corporation should have, but the technical application of it is in some sense inevitable. | ||
The next step, I hope, is to frame them in. | ||
Joe, hang on for a second. | ||
We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
We're going to return to Menlo Park. | ||
We come back in War Room at Battleground. | ||
We'll be back in just a moment. | ||
Okay, it's Humanity Against Censorship. | ||
They're taking on one of the biggest social media companies in the world, if not the biggest. | ||
What's called Meta now, really Facebook. | ||
You've got a really renowned group out there. | ||
Bobby Kennedy Jr., Dr. Naomi Wolf, Kevin Jenkins. | ||
Just a real incredible cast of speakers. | ||
Our own Nicole Negrete is out there. | ||
If we can go to Nicole live in Menlo Park. | ||
I think the speakers may have started. | ||
Nicole, can you give us a little tour of the park? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, this park is actually a very small little park. | |
Very quaint and cute, but it is packed to the brim. | ||
You can hear everyone. | ||
I hope you can still hear me. | ||
I'm going to walk my way through here. | ||
Pardon me. | ||
I don't know if you can see them speaking right now. | ||
That's a speaker's corner right there? | ||
In Menlo? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, this is the speaker's corner. | |
Wow, that's incredible. | ||
Reminds me of Hyde Park. | ||
The Speaker's Corner is there. | ||
So that's Renette. | ||
So is the agenda they're going to have Bobby Kennedy, Naomi Wolf, all of this today? | ||
unidentified
|
Yes, yep. | |
It's going to be a quick day. | ||
It's only three hours, so they're going to have to talk fast. | ||
But it looks like they're getting ready. | ||
I'll tell you what, hang on. | ||
Okay, Nicole, we'll let you drop and call us back before the end of the show. | ||
We're going to save your battery. | ||
Nicole Negrete out there. | ||
Fantastic. | ||
Look for a lot of interviews. | ||
Thank you, ma'am. | ||
We've got Nicole Grady out there. | ||
We're gonna get interviews afterwards. | ||
This is a really coming together, particularly this vaccine situation. | ||
And ladies and gentlemen, it's just getting worse. | ||
Naomi Wolf, what she's finding in her investigation. | ||
Also announcement today, the CDC advisory board comes out and says, as soon as CDC, the outside advisory board said, as soon as CDC approves it for the five to 11 year olds, bang, they should go ahead and start doing it. | ||
So the vaccine issue, It's going to get bigger. | ||
It's going to be a massive issue in the 2022 midterms. | ||
It's going to be a massive issue in the 2024 presidential. | ||
Just wait for it. | ||
I want to go. | ||
I got Brandon Stocker. | ||
I want to go to him, but I've got to go to Joe. | ||
Joe Allen, go back and just hit the reset of why people, you're deep concern. | ||
Look, you're our editor for Transhumanism. | ||
You're at the cutting edge of all this technology. | ||
You've got some of the top people in the country out there today in the heat of Menlo Park To kind of have this rally outside of Facebook to let Facebook corporate know that, hey, you know, Elon Musk may be going after Twitter, but the citizens that are concerned about vaccine safety are going after Facebook for suppression. | ||
Give me again, once again, what you just said about your concerns about all this. | ||
Yeah, like I say, Steve, the two major concerns I have with the big tech corporations are really surveillance and information control. | ||
Those two work hand-in-hand with one another as these corporations are able to monitor, in effect, the public sentiment in the aggregate. | ||
They're also actively boosting and suppressing certain bits of information, and that relates to everything from information pertinent to elections, including election fraud, Also, more recently, any information that contradicts the official narrative on Ukraine has been crushed across Google, Facebook, Twitter. | ||
Also, any information that would paint child transitioning, any other transgender issue, in a bad light, Those really hot point issues that all people should be discussing and debating are pretty much just crushed on the one side and then obviously actively boosted on the other. | ||
So that degree of information control would have Hitler or Stalin drooling. | ||
At present, it's relatively mild, but I really do think that legislation to monitor and break up these corporations will be necessary in order to rein in that power, because no corporation should have that degree of control over public consciousness. | ||
Well, you let me write into it that we're going to reboot. | ||
OK, hang on a second. | ||
We're going to reboot you, Joe. | ||
I want to say, Joe Allen, let me introduce you. | ||
We're going to have the great Mike Davis from Article 3. | ||
You remember Mike Davis in the fight over the Supreme Court confirmation. | ||
Mike Davis is going to join us tomorrow. | ||
And it's exactly about this. | ||
This is why we want to go from Menlo Park through Joe to tomorrow. | ||
Mike Davis is going to be here talking about these antitrust provisions. | ||
What's exactly got to happen to these tech oligarchs in the breakup of these things? | ||
We got to get control of it because right now they're out of control. | ||
Okay, we're going to reboot Joe Allen. | ||
We're getting a battery recharge in Menlo Park. | ||
I want to go to Brandon Straka, one of the best guys here with the walkaway project. | ||
Brandon, you were firebrand, you were converting people that were walking away from the Democratic Party to come over to the Trump movement and to MAGA, and then all of a sudden you hit a speed bump. | ||
We want to welcome you back to the show. | ||
Tell us what happened, where have you been, and has your parole officer authorized that you can come on to War Room? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I appreciate that. | |
Are we calling it a speed bump? | ||
Is that what we're going with? | ||
It's officially technically a war room speed bump. | ||
Got it. | ||
Got it. | ||
Yeah, it was January 25th of 2021. | ||
I got FBI raided because I actually was on the steps of the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. | ||
Now, I never went inside the building. | ||
I was actually on the steps of the east side for about eight minutes and I was filming a video. | ||
I was never accused of any violence or vandalism or theft or destruction. | ||
Nonetheless, they felt that it was appropriate to send an FBI SWAT team to my apartment at the crack of dawn to get me out of bed and put me in handcuffs, took me to jail for several days. | ||
I sat in jail. | ||
Finally, I was released and found out that I was being charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor for the time for the eight minutes I spent on the Capitol steps. | ||
And from that point, I worked through my case for about a year. | ||
And that's why people haven't heard much from me for the last year. | ||
But I'm back and I'm coming back and I intend to move forward and do the work that I was already doing. | ||
I'm not going to let this Biden regime keep me down. | ||
OK, you were one of the most visible of activists in one of the most controversial of areas. | ||
You were somebody that's saying early on, saying, look, there's a lot of hardworking folks out there that are Democrats that just don't believe in the direction of this for a whole host of reasons. | ||
And people had all these reasons. | ||
And we used to send people to your rallies. | ||
You had them all over the country here in D.C. | ||
Do you believe And maybe you can't answer this because of the rules of how you settled this, but do you believe you were targeted because you are so prominent in kind of the MAGA movement, the Trump movement, for basically getting Democrats to come over and to really switch allegiance and alliances with the MAGA movement? | ||
unidentified
|
I know I was. | |
I mean, they're not even being coy about saying that that is a factor in all of this. | ||
The DOJ throughout the course of my case, and especially when we got to the point of sentencing, when they presented us with a 30 page sentencing recommendation on a misdemeanor, because I ended up pleading, I took a plea deal to plead guilty to a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct. | ||
And they wrote a 30 page sentencing recommendation for my misdemeanor charge, and basically said that it was very important that I receive an extremely harsh punishment as a deterrent Because I am the leader of the walkaway movement and because I have a large social media following. | ||
And essentially, they wanted to teach me a lesson about being involved in something like perpetuating a narrative about election fraud or encouraging people to believe that maybe the 2020 election wasn't as straightforward as the left-wing media wants people to believe that it was. | ||
And the judge in my case, who is a Trump-appointed judge, I seem to agree with the Biden Department of Justice, and on my Class B misdemeanor charge, I was given three months of house arrest, three years of probation, 60 hours of community service, the maximum fine of $5,000. | ||
I was ordered to pay $500 restitution to the Capitol, and I was ordered to take court-ordered mental health services, because naturally, I must be insane if I voted for Donald Trump. | ||
Uh, and at this point I have completed all aspects of my sentence with the exception of probation, which will go on until 2025. | ||
Hold it. | ||
This was for, and the government, when it came time to cut your deal, they never debated the facts that you'd only stood on the steps of the Capitol and filmed for a documentary or for some sort of video footage. | ||
They never debated that, that that's as far as you went. | ||
They never made the case where you really went inside. | ||
They agreed with the facts that you were just on the steps? | ||
unidentified
|
From the very beginning. | |
Yeah. | ||
So, As far as I know, and I may be wrong about this, but I'm quite certain that I am the only person who was charged on January 6th who got charged with a felony for what they called knowingly occupying restricted grounds. | ||
Now, I want to be clear, I don't think that anybody who's been charged on January 6th is being treated fairly or justly and getting an appropriate charge or sentence under the law. | ||
But the majority of people who went inside the Capitol, including people who crawled into the Capitol through broken windows, are mostly getting misdemeanor charges for what's being called parading inside the Capitol or occupying restricted grounds. | ||
These are misdemeanors. | ||
As far as I know, I'm the only person who got charged with a felony for occupying restricted grounds, and that was being on the steps on the east side of the Capitol. | ||
So yeah, I mean, they've gone at me very, very hard. | ||
And honestly, the fact that they did kind of set this whole thing up, because now, this is just my opinion, but I believe that there are multiple institutions and organizations in D.C. | ||
that are talking with each other and collaborating with each other, because the moment that I pled guilty to my misdemeanor charge on my plea deal, I got served in a civil suit. | ||
I mean, literally, like the next day. | ||
I was served, I'm one of like three dozen people who are being sued by seven Capitol Police officers who I've never met. | ||
I didn't encounter them on that day. | ||
I've never met them ever in my entire life, but they're suing me for assault and they're suing me for conspiracy. | ||
Well, how could, if the government in your, did your misdemeanor said that you assaulted anybody? | ||
unidentified
|
No. | |
No, I was I was never charged with assault. | ||
I've never been accused of assault. | ||
And nonetheless, seven Capitol Police officers who I've never met are civilly suing me for damages for physically assaulting them, although I've never met them. | ||
That's how honest and it was. | ||
It's in a misdemeanor for disorderly conduct, which they must hand out a thousand of those every Saturday night in the United States somewhere, right? | ||
A misdemeanor for disorderly conduct? | ||
In any college town, in any bar? | ||
Towns got bars? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, I can tell you that my attorney told me, now this is just what my attorney said, I'm not trying to be flippant, but my attorney said, That a class B misdemeanor is about equivalent to having a cop come and give you a citation for playing your music too loud. | |
And I have no criminal record, to be clear. | ||
This is the first offense on my adult criminal record. | ||
And so the fact that I received the sentence that I received on a first offense, class B nonviolent misdemeanor charge, is pretty crazy. | ||
And I want to let you know too, Steve, that the government, in my sentencing recommendation, the prosecution actually requested the right to, as a condition of my three years of probation, they wanted the right to be able to surveil my computer, my phone, my email account, my bank account, and my social media account for three years. | ||
But the government, but the judge actually did not grant them that, but they wanted it. | ||
Um, I mean, this is pretty stunning. | ||
It's pretty stunning. | ||
I want to go back to the 30-pager for a second. | ||
In the 30-pagers, the 30-page thing on the sentencing, the government actually argued that they wanted to have the harshest terms possible for a Class B, which is like a jaywalking ticket, or getting a music violation on a Saturday night in a college town by the cops. | ||
They wanted the maximum penalty of all this, you know, $5,000 and three years of probation and what, 60 days or 30 days of house arrest and all of this, just on and on and on. | ||
They wanted, they actually put, 90 days, 90 days, they actually put in there because you were a part of the walkaway movement, one of the leaders, and you had a high profile to actually talk to people about the issues of the day. | ||
unidentified
|
Multiple times they said this in the sentencing recommendation. | |
And also another thing that they did that I think was particularly disturbing and egregious is they went through my social media posts and they went back months and months before January 6th. | ||
And they, I'm not making this up. | ||
They, they literally selected words from individual texts and then they would string together a sentence, uh, using different words from different texts. | ||
So in the, Sentencing recommendation, they were parts of it where they said things like on Twitter, Mr. Strzok told the Patriots that it was time for a civil war and that we had to fight if we were going to save our country. | ||
So they would take like individual little pieces and string a sentence together and make it sound and then from that, You know, like I said earlier, these different agencies are all kind of working together. | ||
And I consider the media to be a part of that. | ||
You know, when they put a sentencing recommendation out like, like that publicly, the Washington Post actually wrote, ran an article from that that said, MAGA influencer Brandon Strzok was trying to start a civil war before January 6, based off of that sentence from my sentencing recommendation. | ||
Unbelievable. | ||
We're going to have to get to more detail real quickly. | ||
We've got to bounce. | ||
And by the way, I think we're going to try to get, I'll check with Kathryn Bannon about doing maybe Get Her Live right after the show on the War Room channel to get Nicole back up there. | ||
The speakers are going over now. | ||
Your work was legendary on WalkAway. | ||
I mean, the concept, and it struck fear in the Democrats, I could tell. | ||
That's one of the reasons I was so excited about meeting you. | ||
Having you on our shows that it cut to the core. | ||
I mean, they got like these, you know, you had a lot of artists, you had minorities, you had women. | ||
I mean, you had really the makeup of what people think is the Democratic Party. | ||
And I would go to these, I'd send reports, we'd stream from your events. | ||
I mean, these were fire breathers. | ||
And they were calling out the Democratic Party and I said, wow, this guy's, this guy, this guy is gonna, they're gonna notice this quickly. | ||
Have you restarted? | ||
I know one of the things to do, they want to shut down your website, shut down your Facebook, everything like that. | ||
Have you, are you restarting WalkAway? | ||
unidentified
|
100%. | |
So one of the first things we're doing right now is I'm actually in Los Angeles, which is why I'm in this terrible setup right now with my iPad. | ||
But I'm in a hotel room in Los Angeles because this Saturday we're doing the first walkaway live rally in a year and a half since I was FBI raided. | ||
For anyone watching, if you're anywhere near the California area, please come out 2 o'clock p.m. | ||
May 21st. | ||
That's this Saturday. | ||
At Beverly Hills City Hall, I want to get a mass of hundreds and hundreds of people together to send a loud message to the Joe Biden regime, the DOJ, let them know they did not destroy me, they did not destroy WalkAway, and we are coming back. | ||
And in regard to what you just said about those amazing testimonials for that community, yes, it is true that Facebook banned the WalkAway campaign on January 8, 2021, which was devastating. | ||
But my team and I stayed working all year long, even as I went through my case. | ||
And we're going to be releasing later this year something we're calling WalkAway Social, which is going to be our own social community where people can come back and get those video and written testimonials going again and build that community. | ||
Only this time, we're going to own it on our own platform, and this is going to be incredible. | ||
We're just a few months away from being able to launch that, and it's going to be, I think, a real game changer. | ||
So definitely don't talk about WalkAway in the past tense, because I think the best is yet to come for us. | ||
This movement is just getting started. | ||
I'd love everyone to go to walkawaycampaign.com, see how they can help us out, and also come to our rally this Saturday, 2 p.m. | ||
in Beverly Hills at Beverly Hills City Hall. | ||
Everyone come out. | ||
Brandon, where do people go to? | ||
Is there a website? | ||
Give us that again about how people get or how do people find out about where you guys are going to be. | ||
unidentified
|
To follow WalkAway, then go to walkawaycampaign.com. | |
But if they want to follow me and follow the work I'm doing, they can find me on Twitter, Facebook, Getter, and Truth Social. | ||
My handle is the same on all of them. | ||
It's my name, atBrandonStrock. | ||
My last name is spelled S-P-R-A-K-A. | ||
And if there's any of your audience that are still using the Big Tech Left platforms like Twitter or Facebook, please be sure to give me a follow and retweet repost because I spent an entire year off the off the grid with social media so I've got to jump start my account and get myself back out there so give me a follow we're going to help you the war room posse is going to be all over this You're a great guy and you did great work. | ||
And by the way, this is the reason, down on the screen you can see we're covering the rally with Bobby Kenney Jr. | ||
and Naomi, but Brandon should be there too. | ||
I mean, Facebook, these guys, the sight they had was unbelievable. | ||
The testimonies they had and what they do, strip it right down. | ||
Joe Allen, we're going to get to the other aspects of the transhumanism tomorrow because it's too important to go this thing with artificial intelligence. | ||
I just want to go back to the fact of what you said about breaking these companies up. | ||
You're a guy who spends your entire life focused on this. | ||
How dangerous is it that we've let these companies like Twitter and Facebook become so big and so powerful? | ||
It's an absolute tragedy. | ||
It's not as if people weren't warned either, but I think that all of them are appealing for various reasons. | ||
Number one, it allows people to connect over distances, and as people are spread apart, that becomes necessary. | ||
Number two... | ||
People are simply curious, and Google for a long time really did serve up a lot of excellent information and information sources before they really started to hammer down on what they thought inappropriate. | ||
What they've done, ultimately, is put in place a sort of monopolistic information structure that people have come to, by and large, rely on exclusively. | ||
It's very, very heartening To know that there are all these alternative platforms that at least give some competition, but in general, I mean, you know me, Steve, my view on all of these sort of technologies is pretty dim. | ||
I think we would have done well just to stick with telephone calls and books, but extremely dangerous to have so much information control in one place. | ||
Joe, real quickly, give your social media handle so people can get to you. | ||
At J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z on Twitter and Getter and www.jobot.xyz. | ||
Thank you very much, Steve. | ||
Let's go to Nicole Negrete out in Menlo Park. | ||
Nicole, we got to bounce. | ||
We got a hard out here. | ||
But what we're going to do is try to get you up on Getter, ma'am. | ||
We know it's getting active, doing a great job. | ||
We're going to come back to you on Getter. | ||
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
Thank you so much. | ||
Nicole Negrete out there in the hot sun Menlo Park. | ||
Tomorrow we're going to have Mike Davis. | ||
We're going to have some of the interviews Nicole does. | ||
We're going to have Mike Davis on from Article 3 to talk about how are we going to, what's the legislation to break up big tech. | ||
Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. |
