Peace out yo!
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
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.
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.
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.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, it's Monday the 23rd of May, the year of our Lord, 2022.
It's the eve of one of the biggest primary days in current American political history.
Tomorrow we've got the state of Georgia, we've got Arkansas, we have Alabama, and we have the runoff in Texas.
It's going to be huge, so we're going to continue our coverage.
I want to go first to Arkansas and Jake Beckett.
He's in a very tough Republican primary for the United States Senate.
Jake, tell us, where do we stand tonight?
And are they spelling your name correctly in all the different ballots throughout the great state of Arkansas?
unidentified
Yeah, so we got it fixed, Steve.
We had a big victory on election integrity.
You know, these people, they originally told us that they couldn't fix the problem.
The voting machines were controlled out of state.
You know, sorry, try again next time.
But we took them to court.
We didn't take no for an answer, and we got these incorrect ballots in multiple Arkansas counties fixed.
Now, the damage was done in a couple of counties because absentee and mail-in ballots went out with my name incorrect.
We got the rest of them fixed, though, by Election Day.
I'm really proud of that because I got the opportunity over the past 10 days to really show in real time that I can fight back and win on a key issue to Arkansans, which is election integrity.
A lot of these RINOs here in Arkansas You know, they play act.
They say they care about election integrity, but they haven't actually done anything.
Clearly, my name was wrong on thousands of ballots right before the U.S.
Senate primary, so clearly they didn't care that much.
But we fought back and we won on that.
We fought back and we won on that $40 billion vote for the Ukrainian foreign aid package.
You know, I came on to War Room.
We discussed it multiple times.
We threw down the gauntlet and said that Senator Bozeman could not vote.
to advance this $40 billion aid package.
And guess what?
He voted no.
You know, he joined the group of conservatives, the group he typically does not join.
He's a classic establishment vote.
But he voted no because he knew that that would harm him in this primary.
But we can't get complacent.
We can't just accept these victories because, you know, if I don't win this primary, if I'm not in the U.S.
Senate, then Senator Bozeman, he'll just revert back to what he's been doing.
For the past 20 years.
So, you know, we've demonstrated over the past 10 days that we can make real advances.
We can get real wins as just a candidate.
So imagine what I can do when I'm actually in the U.S.
Senate.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I think I can't speak enough about the importance of this $40 billion vote, because this guy is a tried-and-true rhino.
He always votes with what Mitch McConnell tells him, and he's basically a factotum to Mitch McConnell, and that's what's so concerning to me about the folks in the great state of Arkansas.
It's so incredible.
Two things I want to make sure on the eve of this that we put on the table for all of our Viewers and followers on the podcast or watching this live stream in Arkansas is, number one, how has this played out?
Because I think when you've said it over the last couple weeks, I've gotten tremendous feedback from people around the nation to know that the guy has never debated you and would not debate you in a primary that's this important.
And the second is the smearing of you as an Army Ranger.
What's been the blowback from that over the weekend, sir?
unidentified
Well, it's been pretty amazing, Steve.
And first of all, thank you for having me on the show.
You have so many fans here in Arkansas, the great state of Arkansas.
You have so many members of the war room posse.
I mean, all these events that I go to, people pull me aside and they say, Hey, I heard you on a war room.
I love Steve Bannon, love the show.
So thank you again for giving me this platform.
But you're exactly right.
I mean, I think Senator Bozeman made a huge mistake when he publicly declared last month that he wouldn't debate me.
You know, he said he was too busy.
He said he wouldn't talk about the issues.
He's just going to hide in his basement and hope that he could, you know, hide behind all these endorsements and all of his surrogates and squeak by with 51%.
But, you know, that's not going to cut it, Steve.
I mean, in the runoff, he's going to be forced to actually stand up and speak about the issues.
I mean, 10 months ago, when I launched my campaign, I said I wanted this campaign, this election, this primary, to be about the issues, the monumental issues facing our country right now.
But Senator Bozeman, he decided to hide behind his super PACs.
He's got four or five super PACs running nonstop attack ads against me here in Arkansas, accusing me of, I mean, everything under the sun, but it's not sticking because they know he's not a real conservative.
They know he's not an America First patriot.
And they know that I'm the candidate who's actually going to stand up and fight back and win as I demonstrated on election integrity, on these crazy mailers, on the Ukrainian foreign aid package.
You know, I've actually got demonstrable victories as a candidate, you know, in the last 10 days.
So that's my message, my closing argument to the people of Arkansas, is look at what we've done with candidate Beckett.
Imagine what we can do with Senator Beckett.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Also gotta tell you, the way you've comported yourself in this, the personal attacks, I remember when I first met you, you said, look, I want this to be about ideas, I want this to be about issues, and I want to talk about a new generation of leadership.
You've stuck to what you said you were going to make this campaign about.
The guy has never debated you, has never gotten on a stage and wanted to take you on, and the meanness And how unseemly these personal attacks are, particularly for somebody that has not served, you know, you're a ranger, you've served your country, and you could have done, you know, you're a football star.
You played for the National, not just the National Football League, but arguably the greatest franchise in the history, you could argue, in pro football, right?
And I realize Dallas and the Green Bay Packers may differ, but you make the argument.
You could have done all that, and then you went and volunteered to go serve your country in combat.
And I can tell you, as a parent of a West Point grad, When these young people go do it, you realize you have no control whatsoever when they go into these areas.
And the way you've comported yourself and handled these attacks, I think the folks in Arkansas just look and say, hey, who do we want representing us in Washington, D.C.?
Who do we want representing us when the going gets tough?
Is it a guy that Let's call it what it is, a coward.
How could you be in the United States Senate and not have enough respect for the people in Arkansas to say, look, whether it's Morgan or Beckett or whatever, if these people are going to challenge me and people out there raise some money for them, it's a grassroots campaign.
The respect you have to show as a minimum is that, yes, I'll take them on.
I'm a sitting United States Senator.
I'll take them on and show them where they're wrong on the issues, where they're wrong on the ideas, where my ideas are better.
The other thing, and I just want to make sure people understand this, Beckett came on here when he didn't have to and said, hey, I'm not going to vote for Mitch McConnell.
We need a new generation of leadership.
We need new leadership.
We can do it.
Bozeman is 100% owned.
He's a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitch McConnell.
So if you want that, you want that to continue.
If you want everything that's wrong with this.
Listen, it's not just progressive Democrats.
It's just not the Biden regime.
We understand what that is.
The problem is you've had a controlled opposition that will not confront them across the board.
We just had in the great state of Texas, Ken Paxton.
Said the Bushes are running against down there, and the young Bush boy came out the other day and said the Attorney General's suing the Biden administration too much.
He's confronting the Biden administration too much.
What I would like to parents about, he sued him over CRT, he sued him over mass mandates, he sued him over vaccine mandates, they sued over Title 42.
I would think most MAGA would say you haven't sued him enough.
They want him in court 24-7.
Jake, I think this is what you represent and others we had on the show represent is a new generation of leadership has said, hey, we've won enough elections and we lost the country.
We're not doing it.
We see what the old playbook is.
And that playbook's not working for the people of Arkansas.
That playbook's not working for the people of Georgia.
That playbook's not working for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth of Virginia, across.
This is what MAGA is.
This is why MAGA's ascended.
People say we cannot go along and have business as usual.
We've done that.
We've tried that.
It doesn't work.
And we're not going to do it.
Jake, all today now is what it's about, getting out the vote.
How do people get access to your site and how do they find out how they can join in your effort to keep it under 50% so that you can get into a runoff with this guy?
unidentified
You're exactly right, Steve.
We are no longer the party of controlled opposition.
We're no longer the party of managed decline.
It's only conservative warriors, only America First patriots can represent the Republican Party, represent the great patriots in the great state of Arkansas in the U.S.
Senate.
That's why I'm in this race.
I wore the uniform.
I deployed to Iraq because I wanted to be where the fight is.
I joined the infantry, went through ranger school, led a rifle platoon because I wanted to be where the fight is.
And now I'm going to the U.S.
Senate because that's where the fight is.
It's right here.
It's domestic.
It's political.
You can go to my website, jakebeckett.com.
I'm on all social media, jakebeckett91.
Jakebeckett.com is the website.
Get out and vote.
Steve, you'll love this.
Turnout in Arkansas is huge.
It's through the roof.
We've doubled the last midterm in 2018 in terms of early voter turnout.
And I suspect those are people who are going to the polls, you know, who haven't voted in previous primaries.
Those are people who are angry.
They're upset at the status quo.
Those are going to be people who are not going to vote for a 20-plus year incumbent.
So we're very excited.
Buzman's poll numbers are already terrible.
He's already in the 40s, the low to mid 40s.
And we're going to keep him there.
We're going to go to the runoff and we're going to win the runoff and go straight to the U.S.
Senate to fight in D.C.
as a conservative warrior.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Jake Beckett, thank you for joining us.
I know you've got a lot of work to do.
Godspeed.
unidentified
Thanks, Steve.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
You see those numbers?
I want the audience to understand it's on fire in Arkansas and it's really on fire in Georgia.
We started the show today this morning in Davos with Jack Posobiec and in Geneva at the World Health Organization with Nora Bin Laden to talk about how the Biden administration is trying to give your sovereignty away like we need any more sovereignty ceded to the World Health Organization.
Of course, Jack taking on the party at Davos and Klaus Schwab.
The center of the political universe centers around Georgia.
Because in Georgia, you have all of the establishment figures.
You got Ricketts.
You got Ducey.
You got Christie.
You got all the former RGA guys all coming down to back Brian Kemp.
You got the Bush apparatus there, Karl Rove.
Mike Pence came in today.
And it's quite simple.
They want to defeat President Trump.
But more importantly, they want to defeat Trumpism.
So I've got two gentlemen on here that are, I think, the epitome of what this movement is.
I want to go to Jake Evans in Georgia 6.
Jake, first off, tell me about your campaign.
Tell me what the people across the nation need to know about Jake Evans, as you're a fighter for Trumpism, you're a fighter for MAGA, you're a fighter for America First, sir.
unidentified
That's exactly right, and it's good to join you today, Steve.
Since the beginning of my campaign, and I've been running for about 10 months, we've been running a bold, unafraid America First campaign.
I firmly believe that President Trump's agenda Delivered four of the best years we've had in a very, very long time.
He was a street fighter when we needed a street fighter.
He took it to the folks in the D.C.
establishment, the radical left.
And we've got to have that type of leadership, that tenacity.
And so I firmly represent a new generation of bold and afraid conservative leaders.
On May 5th, I was very blessed to get the endorsement of President Trump.
He catapulted our campaign forward.
Election Day is actually tomorrow, Tuesday, in Georgia.
We are seeing record turnout and I expect we're going to have record turnout tomorrow as well.
But my campaign, as I've told group after group, is not only, it's not about me, it's not about my campaign, it's about a movement.
It's about a movement to return the power of the government back to the people and unleash the power of everyday Americans.
Donald Trump unleashed that power and that's what I'm going to continue to do.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Tell our audience, by the way, I want to also mention, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, you've had, I don't know, a million and a half votes cast, $42 million spent, and Oz and McCormick are still fighting it out.
It looks like Oz is going to win it, but he's going to win it by five or six hundred votes.
Everybody in Georgia that can hear my voice or see us on TV or the live stream or hear the podcast later have to understand you are the deciding figure here.
No TV commercial is going to make a decision.
No pollster is going to make a decision.
No lobbyist is going to make a decision.
No commentator is going to make a decision.
This is about the sovereignty of the people, and that means you.
It is incumbent that not only do you get out to vote, but you take as many people as you know, colleagues, friends, people from church, and get them to vote too.
Record turnouts already in Georgia, record turnouts in Arkansas, because MAGA and the American First Movement have had a bellyful of this, and they want to take action.
Jake, tell us a little bit about Georgia 6, and particularly take a second and tell us what's on the mind when you go around and talk to the good citizens down there, what's at the top of their mind about the direction of the country?
unidentified
That's right.
Well, Georgia 6, in my opinion, is the best congressional district in the state of Georgia.
The boundaries changed through redistricting.
It's a much more conservative district now.
But these people in the Georgia 6, we are scared.
We're scared about the future.
We are in the fight for the heart, soul, and the fabric of America in 2022.
You can tell the liberals are willing to do anything and everything to fundamentally change this country.
And weak-kneed Republicans, unfortunately, are allowing them to do it.
So we have to have bold, unafraid, conservative fighters that are going to take it to these liberals in the same way they take it to us.
But the Bidenflation, the hyperinflation, is burdening.
It's sackling everyday Americans.
You've got record high gas prices, record high grocery prices.
Election integrity is still a huge issue here in Georgia.
We are recovering from the scars that happened in 2020.
We're 2,000 mules.
You saw.
Massive, orchestrated ballot harvesting, in my opinion.
So the voters want to know that our elections are safe and secure.
And the record turnout shows there is no voter suppression.
Stacey Abrams and her posse want to perpetuate this false rhetoric.
So the people of Georgia 6 won't bolt unafraid.
Conservative leadership.
That's what my campaign has been about.
We're continuing to surge forward.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Jake, tell us a little bit about yourself.
Tell us your story.
Give us your journey.
unidentified
Yeah, so I grew up in Georgia.
I went to University of Georgia.
I'm a double dog for both undergrad and law school, and I decided that I didn't want to be just any lawyer, so I fought for my convictions.
I fought for our churches, our religious liberties against liberal cities.
I'm also election integrity.
I'm actually the only lawyer in Georgia history to overturn two elections in the same race, and I did this in 2018 before election integrity was a mainstream issue.
I fought in 2020 all the way before the United States Supreme Court Representing the Pennsylvania House to ensure only legal votes would be counted.
I was the lead counsel.
This is one of the seminal cases.
Unfortunately, the court split 4-4.
Chief Justice Roberts actually was weak-kneed and he voted with the liberal wing of the court.
So I've launched my campaign and I've continued to have that same type of tenacity, that energy, that vigor to take on the establishment, to fight for the people, to go against the grain because that's the type of leadership Steve, that right now this country needs, and so we have just continued to surge all the way through, and like I said earlier, President Trump's endorsement launched us forward and put us on a very strong trajectory.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Jake, how do people find out more about you, and most importantly, how they find out about the get-out-the-vote effort of the Evans campaign in Georgia 6 tomorrow?
unidentified
That's right.
Well, as you said earlier, Steve, we have to have every MAGA patriot get out there and vote.
The institutions are stacked against us.
The establishment is stacked against us, and if we don't unify, we will lose this country.
Jake Evans GA is my social media handle.
JakeEvans.org is my website.
Please contribute to the movement, the movement that is bigger than me, that's bigger than each of us, but together is going to save America.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Jake, honored to have you on here.
Fight on.
We'll check in with you tomorrow.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
A double dog right there.
Okay, let's go to Georgia 7, YG Nightstorm.
YG, thank you very much.
Honored to have you on here, sir.
Tell us about Georgia 7.
Tell us about your district, and particularly, YG, what's on the top of the good patriots down there in Georgia 7?
When you were around the district, because I know everybody tells me that you've, I think, met every person in the district multiple times.
What are they telling you they're looking for in a congressman?
unidentified
Well, thank you for having me on.
I've got to disagree with Jake.
Seven is the number one district in Georgia.
I would say it's a parable between six and seven.
We love each other.
But I will tell you this, walking around and talking to the people, you would think that something big is happening.
It's like God is really bringing everybody together right now because everybody's been hit by this inflation.
Everybody's been so sick of the masking issues.
Everybody is sick of all of the authoritarian stuff that the Biden administration and the Democrats have been doing.
And the beautiful thing about this, we all know how the Democrat establishment, And the GOP establishment have been working cohesively together to hold the people down.
So everybody It's starting to come out.
You got Democrats.
You got independents.
You got conservatives.
You got the young.
You got the old.
You got everybody.
You got business owners.
You got employees.
Everybody is so sick of the establishment, and they are coming out and saying, we are going to vote for YG Night Storm.
We are sick of the establishment, and it's time to move forward right now because that is what this is about.
It's about the community.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
YG, one of the issues I want to talk to you about is the life issue.
I understand people tell me if you want to see somebody that's a bold patriot and at the cutting edge of the life issue and will not back down one inch, it's YG Nightstorm.
Talk to me about your position on that and how has that played in your district?
unidentified
Well, I'll tell you this.
In 1999, my twins Howard and Hank were aborted by my ex-girlfriend and I had no power to stop it.
And she said to me, she said, I'm going to do something that's going to hurt you more than anything that's ever hurt you in your life.
She knew that I was homeless in 1992, living on the streets of Atlanta, beat up, robbed, and urinated on.
That hurt me a lot.
She knew that when I was 11 years old, I was raped as a child in 1985.
Oh, that hurt me a lot.
But she was absolutely right.
The abortion of my twins, Howard and Hank, nearly destroyed me.
But the beautiful thing about how God works, Stephen, we all know this.
Many years later, at a city that I was preaching in, she came to the stage, and I was coming off, and she said, why, G, I just need five minutes of your time.
She asked for me to forgive her for killing our kids because the abortion destroyed her womb.
She can no longer have children.
And she said, promise me, YG, you will do everything you can to save the lives of all of these pre-born children so nobody has to suffer like this ever again.
Now, sir, I'm the proud father of seven adult children.
I've raised them.
But my babies are in heaven.
And this is the premier issue.
Yes, I've been to the border.
We talked about these things.
Yes, I brought back evidence from Maricopa County of ballots coming from Maricopa County and landed in Fulton County.
I actually tried to turn that in to the FBI.
I'm all about election integrity.
But this right here, life, It's the premier issue.
And if the Democrat Party want to keep on pushing this Black Lives Matter garbage and saying that they care about black lives, then why has Planned Parenthood killed half of the black population?
There's only 40 million black people in the country right now.
Over 20 million of our babies have been killed.
So I always say, if you come up with a scheme to kill half the white people, half the Asian people, half the Hispanic people, you call it genocide.
But when you're killing the black people, half of our community, You call it Planned Parenthood and it's okay.
It's not okay.
The people are coming together.
Black, white, Jew, Gentile, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Democrat, Republican.
We're all coming together right now because if we cannot be born, we can't fight for anything else and life is precious and that's what's happening in Georgia 7, sir.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
YG, I hear, because we monitor, as you know, MSNBC and CNN constantly to go through what our opposition is, how they're crafting narratives.
I hear non-stop from Joanne Reed and Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes, all MSNBC and all CNN, that Trump's a racist, the Trump movement's nothing but a white nationalist, a white supremacy movement.
What say you, sir?
unidentified
Ain't nothing more racist than killing half of a demographic, okay?
Margaret Sanger was a racist.
Hillary Clinton praised Margaret Sanger.
And I'll tell you this, Planned Parenthood deceptively put their offices in black neighborhoods.
That's racist!
You cannot say you love a people when you are killing half of the community.
And I will say this, there's nothing racist about having IDs to vote.
What they're going to do, that's all they're talking about is race, race, race.
That's all they have.
They're losing on the inflation.
They're losing the people because of the schools.
They're losing the people because of the jobs.
They're losing the people because folks being kicked out of restaurants.
The Democrats have nothing but death, destruction, and dysfunction.
But over here, on this side, I ain't talking about the establishment Republicans.
I'm talking about the America First, God-loving patriots that say that we are going to go through hell and high water to make sure we represent the people and we fight for the people.
And regardless of what the establishment say, regardless of their threats, regardless of their shenanigans, we're going to stand strong together.
And that is what's bringing the people together, that message of hope, because it was the community That helped me when I was homeless 30 years ago.
It was everybody that chipped in to show me and built me.
And that's why I'm working so hard to fight for the community.
And what the realness is, everybody is jumping on board.
The Democrats, they suck.
The message sucks.
Our message is of hope, of building, of entrepreneurship, of ownership, and enough of the dependency.
It's time to stand together.
So we need to be going and voting tomorrow.
Let's go get them, baby.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
YG, particularly for our international audience and across America, can you take a few minutes and talk to us about your journey?
unidentified
Yes, sir.
Like I said, back in 1985, I grew up in a broken home, like most people, like millions of Americans.
Mom didn't like Dad, Dad didn't like Mom, and I was kicked out of my house at 18, sleeping on the streets of Atlanta, beat up, robbed, literally urinated on, wanted to give up on life, wanted to kill myself.
And I said, God, is there anything, if you have any value in me, something has to change.
And within a little while, a white Rolls Royce pulls up next to me.
An old man, 72 years old white man, gets out the Rolls Royce, ...prays over me, takes off his shoes he had on a pair of Argyle socks.
He slid those Argyle socks on my feet, and he said, as soon as these socks cover your feet, God is going to cover your life.
Now go forward and make a difference.
That ignited two things into me.
It reignited my faith back in God, and it showed me what this country is all about.
It's not about black and white and this skin.
This skin is so paper thin that a piece of paper can cut it.
That's not what this is.
It's about content and character.
It's about faith in our God and our hearts, faith, family, community, and culture.
These are the things that are bringing the country together, not what the Democrats and MSNBC and what Joyless is saying.
That is divisive.
We are what's bringing it together.
Your show is what's bringing it together.
MAGA is what's bringing it together.
All of us are making America great again, one day at a time, and it kicks off tomorrow, so we got to get out here and vote.
Because we're voting in record numbers.
But tell your mama, your daddy, your sister, your cousin, your brother, everybody, go get them.
Pull them in line.
Stand there and vote and make a difference because we need you so much right now.
But the time is now.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
YG, we got 30 seconds.
How do people get to your campaign site to figure out how to do it tomorrow?
unidentified
YG4Congress, YG, F-O-R, YG4Congress.com.
That's where you can find me.
But tell him that God is bringing us together.
This is our moment.
We're about to make history tomorrow, and it's going to be beautiful.
God bless you.
Everybody that's watching, your entire staff, and thank you, sir, for what you do.
And God bless President Trump.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
YG, thank you very much.
That's YG Nightstorm from Georgia 7.
He's on the ballot tomorrow in this very intense Republican primary down there.
I gotta tell you, Georgia is on fire.
They set records for early voting, and here's the biggest thing.
50% of the records for people that have never, did not vote in 2018, or have not voted in the last four primaries.
It's absolutely incredible.
Same thing in Arkansas.
Okay, short commercial break.
We're gonna go to Alabama and then back to Georgia.
When we return, War Room Battleground.
unidentified
War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon.
I'll see you next time.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, welcome back.
Let's go back to Georgia.
Let's go to Georgia 10 and the one and only Vernon Jones.
Vernon, you're on the eve of this massive primary.
There's already been record turnout in the great state of Georgia.
Give us your assessment of where this race stands right now.
unidentified
Let me tell you, we're on fire down here in Georgia.
You know, there's a difference between voter or election integrity and voter suppression.
There's no suppression here.
Record amount of turnout for early voting.
That was a big lie by the liberals, Stacey Abrams, and that crowd.
We are fighting.
They're trying to take away the strength of the magazine.
They're trying to divide us and conquer us.
It's not going to happen.
President Trump is strong down here.
He's strong as new rope.
And we're campaigning hard here, Steve.
We're going to take the fight intent, and we're going to take this entire state.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Listen, they've thrown, Vernon, at you and President Trump and the rest of the MAGA movement down there, they've thrown Chris Christie, the Ricketts apparatus, they've got the RGA, they've got Ducey in, you had the Bush apparatus behind this, they got Karl Rove, and today they brought in Mike Pence.
Is this all, this is actually even bigger than President Trump.
This is MAGA and America First versus the Republican establishment.
Do folks down there in Georgia understand the stakes tomorrow of what's in play?
I tell you, we just lose Vernon in the...
Yeah, Vernon, try it again.
Let's see if we still got you.
If not, we're going to have to cut.
unidentified
I gotcha. I said it sure is down here. I'm in the 10th year in Covington, Newtown.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I tell you, we lost it.
Let's go ahead and just have him call in, because this is too weak a signal there.
Let's go to Alabama.
Let's go to Lindy Blanchard.
She's running for the governor.
Ma'am, talk to us about Alabama.
Talk to us about the stakes tomorrow.
You've been in a real dogfight down there from the beginning, and it looks like there's no love lost between you and the sitting governor.
So look, you were handpicked by President Trump.
You're an ambassador.
Walk us through what the stakes are tomorrow in Alabama.
unidentified
We're dealing with the same thing.
We're dealing with establishment rhinos.
Governor Ivey has gotten about $2 million worth of dark money from the RGA that we can't find where it came from, and I'm running against the establishment, a rhino.
Who pretends to be a conservative but she doesn't put out conservative values or bills or anything.
She's not directing this state.
She's led and she has failed the people of Alabama.
Our taxation is unbelievable.
The last time I spoke to you we talked about the gas tax and I I want you to know that that's a never-ending gas tax.
It goes on and on, and no business does that, especially not anyone that's conservative and a true Republican.
We're supposed to put money back in the taxpayers' pockets, and just everything that she's done, it's shameful that she kept the abortion clinics open, and it's gonna be a tough race, but you know what?
We have the momentum.
We're peaking at the right time.
They did a polling in Huntsville on Saturday, and I was ahead by a half percent with Governor Ivey in second.
So we're excited.
We're in a good spot.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Here's where I think it's hard for people to grasp.
How is it that a state like Alabama that has such great traditions and is so conservative and hard-working, so many patriots down there, how do you have an establishment that seems so far removed from the values of conservatism and the values of MAGA?
unidentified
They're a machine.
You know, when you've been in office for over 40 years, you have a lot of pay-to-play activities going on.
We are the fourth most conservative state, and yet we're the fourth most corrupt.
And there's reasons, because there's no limit on how much you can give to a campaign, a statewide campaign, and there's unbelievable amounts of money flowing into the other two opponents of mine that are, you know, we're top three, and I'm paying for my own campaign, and it's my hard-working money that's
And yes, they're Republicans getting gambling money and PAC money that's just unbelievable that's trying to direct the other two candidates, including our governor.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
How is it, by the way, the RGA, people should understand the RGA is all over these races, I mean, it's deep into the situation in Georgia with Kemp trying to thwart President Trump.
Let me go, how did, the audience wants to know, I had a long conversation with Mike Lindell last night, and you know, Mike Lindell goes all over the country, he meets a ton of people, but he has said, hey, you are, he thinks, one of the finest candidates he's seen.
What is it?
What was it that Mike Lindell saw in you, saw in you, that would separate you out from some of the people he meets?
Because I'm telling you, he's saying, hey, she's got to win down in Alabama.
He says the same thing.
He says, I didn't know.
He comes from Minnesota.
He says, I thought Alabama was like the least corrupt state in the union.
He says, get down there and you've got this, you've got this secretary of state who's totally corrupt.
He says the whole apparatus down there.
So what is it that Lindell saw in you that separates you out from the pack?
unidentified
Someone that's willing to sign on to anything that has to do with election integrity.
If you're an honest person, you'll show your books.
I mean, that's what a businesswoman or man does.
I mean, you'll just show the books.
And when you can't, See behind those machines and you're willing to put in new machine the week before the election and I'm just all in on shedding the light, shining the light and getting the message out that we can move this state forward, but you can't be connected to the hip with other entities that you're having to pay back Tom, Dick or Harry before you make the best decision for this state and.
Establishment's been winning a long time in Alabama, which is unfortunate.
We have a swamp in Montgomery and, you know, I'm from central Alabama, and we need to move the MAGA initiative in this state stronger so that people realize that they do have a choice.
They do have a conservative Christian choice as your next governor that will be proactive.
All Governor Ivey had to do was mimic good governors that had already Made the decision to stay conservative during the COVID lockdown, like not shutting down businesses and not forcing vaccinations.
Governor Ivey screamed out, it's the unvaccinated's fault.
And you know, she was actually, she was congratulated by Biden and Fauci on her work that correlated closely to the Biden administration and not President Trump's, you know, conservative values.
And speaking of that, when I was working for President Trump as ambassador, we worked against China and shut down a lot of their initiatives abroad, like the 5G and getting rid of bad vendors.
And when I came back to the United States, Alabama had partnered tightly with China.
Actually, Governor Ivey is on their list for the most favorable governor.
In the United States and we've been selling out to China and conservative Republicans don't do that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
What is it about, I understand you look at Ron DeSantis as more of a model.
In fact, you told me the last time you're going to give Ron DeSantis a run for his money.
What is it that President Trump, what is it that President Trump, I know, look, he had such a high opinion of you.
That's why he selected you to be an ambassador.
But what was it that Trump saw in you that also thought you would make a great governor for Alabama?
Because, you know, Alabama is very close to his heart.
unidentified
Well, number one, that I will step out.
And when the president asked to come into this state, I'll say when and where.
He did that with Governor Ivey last year, wanted to host something on the battleship, and her administration shut him down.
And believe me, when the Republican leader and the former president asked me as governor what they could do in the state, I'm going to say, you decide when and where.
And support the leader of the party.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
And not go against him.
Walk through, tomorrow is game day.
Walk us through, and I know you, the alumni of Auburn, are all about game day.
Talk to us tomorrow about your Get Out the Vote operation and how can people find you and find how to assist you tomorrow.
unidentified
I can tell you, just look up BlanchardforGovernor.com.
I will be all over meeting and greeting in restaurants tomorrow that I'll get up first thing and vote with my family.
My three daughters that still live in the house will go with me, and John Blanchard as well, and we'll just do it as a family.
And the number one thing is just get out and vote, because you can change this state.
We need to move this state forward.
We need to keep it conservative, not sell out to other countries, by the way.
We have sold, since 2017, 1.8 million acres of land, farmland, to foreign entities.
And I'll stop that as well.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Amen.
That is huge.
That's incredible.
I want to remind everybody in Alabama, I've got very deep feelings about Alabama, how great the folks are down there.
In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, it's going to come down to about 500 or 600 votes in a campaign for the Senate there that was $42 million.
Every vote counts.
Every person you bring to the poll counts.
Do not think your vote doesn't count.
It's absolutely these races.
You just soften the polling.
It's going to be intense.
It's all about who shows up to vote.
So, Lindy Blanchard, thank you so much on the eve.
We'll look forward to talking to you tomorrow, ma'am.
Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you, Ambassador.
That's President Trump's endorsed candidate.
That's President Trump's ambassador, Lindy Blanchard, down there in the great state of Alabama.
Let's go.
We got Vernon Jones by phone.
Vernon, I just want to pick up on something you said before we dropped the sink there on the Skype.
You've been at it with Stacey Abrams for years.
And I just want to hear from you and all our audience who love you want to hear from you about all these lies they said about voter suppression and Jim Crow laws and and racist laws.
How have the new regulations in the state of Georgia turned out for the for the voting, at least in the run up to this election, sir?
unidentified
Stacey Abrams is the biggest fraud out there.
You know, and I know it.
She's the one who claimed that there was voter fraud in 2018.
She still has not admitted that she lost her election.
She talked about voter suppression in Georgia.
Senate Bill 202 went through.
We've had more people to come out in this early election in 2022 than we had in 2020 or 2018.
All right.
More folks came out early voting.
See, there's a difference between election integrity and voter suppression.
There is no voter suppression.
That's why I always said many times it's an insult to say white people can't afford a free photo ID.
Not to mention this, Steve, let me tell you.
It's easy to vote in Georgia.
If you don't vote in Georgia, then that's the kind of person you can put a voting machine in their bedroom and they're not going to go and vote in Georgia.
You can vote in Georgia.
And the results are showing that.
It's showing that people in Georgia, especially the GOP, the MAGA, the ultra MAGA folks, we knew what happened in 2020.
Georgia is not a blue state.
Georgia is a stolen state.
And let me tell you, that early vote out, more Republicans are already outvoting Democrats in the early primary.
Remember before, the Democrats outvoted Republicans.
Early voting Republicans are kicking butt, Steve.
Why?
Because they're sick of the voter fraud.
They're sick of the big lie.
They don't want Georgia to be a socialist state.
And like Madam Blanchard said from Alabama, we hold the line over here.
We fight.
We're going to keep our conservative values here in Georgia.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Let me ask you, you came over as a Democrat to MAGA and to President Trump because you said the Democratic Party left you.
How has your experience been in the meeting and greeting the Republican establishment in the great state of Georgia?
They are no fans of MAGA, they're no fans of ultra MAGA, they're no fans of President Trump, and they're particularly no fans of America First.
How has it been, Vernon?
unidentified
You know what?
That's where I get the biggest pushback, from the establishment.
From the liberal plants that are in the Republican Party and the RINOs.
As a matter of fact, believe it or not, Steve, this is going to shock you.
The liberal RINOs, the liberal plants in the Republican Party, were the liberals who left the Democratic Party because too many African Americans were in the Democratic Party.
So they changed jerseys, but they didn't change the ideology.
They are liberal, they're not conservative, and they hate seeing African Americans coming over to the Republican Party that are independent and conservative.
And that's where you're getting the pushback from.
The AJC, for example, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the most liberal organization, media organization in the state of Georgia, they have actually picked, in my race, Mike Collins, who is their plant, their liberal plant, and RINO.
That's what they're working with, trying to help them get elected.
I mean, that's the kind of stuff.
Democrats have a record of stealing elections.
Now they're literally getting their plants to run in Republican primaries.
That's how desperate they are.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Vernon, you're the endorsed Trump candidate.
Tell people where they go to get out to vote tomorrow because everything's about game day.
Early voting's over there.
They've had record turnout.
It's all about who shows up tomorrow.
What electorate shows up will determine this.
And the whole world's watching.
We started in Davos and Geneva today.
They're all watching what's happened in Georgia because it's President Trump and MAGA versus Bush and the Republican establishment.
And Vernon Jones is one of the instruments in this fight.
How do people find out about your campaign and particularly First of all, Steve, you said it right.
unidentified
I'm Trump-vetted, I'm Trump-trusted, and I'm Trump-endorsed.
Over everybody else, there's a reason why President Trump endorsed me.
Because I am the America First candidate.
He knows that I'm unbought and unbossed, and I'm a part of that army that he's getting together to take over the U.S.
Congress in 2022 and take the White House in 2024.
Those who want to be a part of this movement, The real movement, the grassroots movement.
Go to jonesforgeorgia.com.
Go to jonesforgeorgia.com.
If you don't know where your voting precinct is, go to my website.
It will direct you.
Steve, I'm calling every voter out there that's listening to Steve Bannon, the war room.
I tell everybody, I think we just dropped phone.
Let's go ahead and see.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Yeah.
Now, one more time, Vernon.
Try it again.
We just dropped you.
Okay, let's just drop the signal.
I want to go to Jeannie Seavers.
Jeannie is running for the Lieutenant Governor.
I don't think there's any more controversial position among folks in MAGA than the Lieutenant Governor's race in Georgia, given the existing Lieutenant Governor.
We call him Cosmo Man.
This guy was terrible.
So, Jeannie, I've known you for a long time.
Tell me what your campaign is and what are you fighting for because the guy that's in there today is an absolute and total disgrace.
unidentified
Absolutely, Steve, and thanks for having me on.
You know, that's why I got in the race back in February 2021.
They were discussing SB202 and Cosmo Man was presiding over the Senate and he walked out.
And didn't want to hear anything about the discussion of SB 202.
If I would have been the lieutenant governor during that discussion, I would have made sure that they never included the drop boxes in that legislation.
I would have caucused harder with my senators.
I would have made sure that no excuse absentee voting was eliminated.
That is where all the fraud came from.
The drop boxes, I would stood up and got rid of the Dominion machines.
I don't care how much it cost us.
Georgians must feel secure that only legal votes are counted and it's their votes.
And that is the hugest issue as I've been running around the state for over 14 months now, Steve.
Election integrity and CRT, that is the two biggest issues.
And they are sick and tired of broken promises, Steve, from our politicians.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Well, this is what I want to get to.
You're a grassroots leader, and that's one of the reasons you took this up.
Tell us, what divides the grassroots from the establishment in Georgia?
unidentified
Well, I think that it's the hard workers that go out and are boots on the ground.
You know, it's money.
A lot of people just think that there's money.
I mean, I'm not going to trash the Trump-endorsed candidate for lieutenant governor, but where is he?
Where's Bert?
He hasn't been out on that campaign trail at all, Steve.
You know, we're a hard worker.
And all of the people, Georgians are... I have never seen so many people engaged, even.
We go way back to 2015 when we worked for Trump, when it wasn't cool.
I have never seen the groundswell of people engaged that have never been engaged before.
And I think the numbers are going to be shocking.
But one thing, of course, I'm considered the dark horse in the race.
But what they don't talk about, as of two weeks ago, over 57% of Georgians were undecided in the Lieutenant Governor's race.
So I just continue to work hard, try to get the message out.
But I'm boots on the ground, going around.
I'm not just sitting back and sitting on the Trump endorsement.
But you know, Steve, there's never been anyone more loyal to Donald J. Trump than Jeannie Seaver and was one of the first people on board.
When everybody else was with Cruz back in 2015.
But I'm loyal to him still.
I'm loyal to him still.
The best policies.
He told us everything.
He did everything that he said he was going to do to put Americans first.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Perfect.
We got about 30 seconds.
How do people find out about Jeannie Seaver tonight and how they find out how to get out to vote tomorrow?
unidentified
Yes, so everybody, what they can do is go to my voter page if they have any questions on where they need to go.
To learn more about me, stever4ltgov.com.
I'm on Facebook, Twitter, and I really appreciate you, Steve, and all you're doing to be a voice out there for Georgia.
And I promise you, as the next lieutenant governor in the great state of Georgia, any legislation that infringes on your freedoms will not be allowed on the Senate floor.
The Lieutenant Governor has that power as the President of the Senate.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Jeanne Seaver, you're a fighter.
Fight on.
Look forward to talking to you tomorrow.
See how this thing turns out.
unidentified
Thanks a lot, Guy.
Have a great night.

I'll be up in Getter all night, so go to my Getter account, check it out.
I'll be putting up hot news and analysis the entire night.
