You
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
This is what you're fighting for 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.
Welcome, you're in the Battleground.
It is Thursday, 2 June, the year of our Lord 2022.
unidentified
War Room Battleground. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Welcome. You're in the battleground. It is Thursday, 2 June, the year of our Lord 2022. Wow, a lot happening today.
And I got my co-host Boris Epstein's with us for the hour.
Also going to go to Nevada to kick things off with Adam Laxalt, who's running for the tough Republican primary out there for the Senate.
Also, Jim Marchant, the Secretary of State.
Boris, I want to bring you in just to set the stage here.
Over the last couple of days, Politico broke this story that we're building a ground army of people to work elections, to go to school boards.
An army and I've never seen Politico had the reporter who got I guess she was sitting on a call in Michigan with some of the volunteers and maybe even had some of the RNC guys on there.
I've never seen such a full meltdown.
I mean Chris Hayes, our own favorite Joanne Reed, everybody on MSNBC doing like 20 minute segments on this.
Why are they so upset?
about participatory populism.
Why are they so upset when you have guys like Marchant and, you know, there's 20, 25 heroes running for Secretary of State, but then you have a field army and back of them are volunteers that want to be poll workers and poll watchers and sit on canvassing boards and become election officials to make sure that everything is done according to the rules and according to the rule of law.
Boris?
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Steve, honor to be with you today.
Big day.
Great news out of Arizona.
We'll talk about it in a second.
A major, major win for MAGA.
President Trump endorsing MAGA champion Blake Masters.
And that goes right into this issue the Democrats are having.
Because the enthusiasm, the excitement, the strength, the power is all with MAGA right now.
And they're seeing it.
They know it's coming.
They know it's here.
And that's why they're freaking out.
That's why they're doing the long MSNBC segments.
That's why Steve Kornacki is having his own special about how MAGA has taken over completely.
And you know what I'm proud of, Steve?
I'm proud of, A, this audience, the War Room Posse, the MAGA movement under the leadership of President Trump, and how strong we've become, and how much stronger we become every day.
That's one.
Two, I'm proud of the fact that we've been calling this out for over a year, that once we stood in the breach on Jan 20, 2021, we have fought back, we have stood strong, and we are now, I've said this for a long time.
I fully believe that MAGA is at least two-thirds of the country right now.
And that's why MSNBC's freaking out.
They know the Democrats and the liberals, the woke libs, have marginalized themselves because they're losing the country.
They've got a feckless, illegitimate president.
They have a feckless government.
And they have no message to the American people.
Our message is of strength, manufacturing, of faith, of freedom.
What's their message?
Men in women's sports, sky-high inflation, no southern border, and no baby formula?
That is a losing combination.
And they know it, and they're freaking out.
And that's why the Democrats are sapped.
And by the way, it's not just the Democrats and the Socialists and the Commies who are sad.
You can see the mainstream media, they're sad.
Because they know that their favorites, the people who they've pushed for so long, are failing so bad.
And again, as we've said on this show for a long time, this isn't about winning an election.
And it's not about winning a couple or a slew of elections.
takeover in January, and then President Trump, as we hope and expect, will walk into the Oval Office the latest, Jan 20, 2025. So this is a lethal accommodation for the Democrats.
And again, as we've said on this show for a long time, this isn't about winning an election.
And it's not about winning a couple or a slew of elections.
This is about putting an end, an end to the Democrat Party once and for all.
And we can take a lot of credit, and we've got a lot to be proud of, full stop, but the Democrats themselves get a lot of credit, because they have lost any semblance of a relationship with the American public, and they have driven themselves into the ground.
So if we do this right, if we nominate MAGA candidates, and have MAGA candidates win, like Blake Masters in Arizona, like Adam Laxall in Nevada, Jim Marchant in Nevada, Eric Greitens in Missouri, All across the country, as long as that happens, we are going to put an end to the Democrat Party, and we're going to be in power for the good of the country.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Let's go out to Adam Laxaw.
Adam, the first question I want to ask you, Kornacki, they had a special last night on MSNBC about Hispanic votes in the country, and they focused on Florida, but he gave a six-minute summary at the end that we played on the morning show.
We don't have time now, but he talked about this tectonic plate shift, particularly in the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas, and in Florida.
They did say they're going to take that show to Arizona and Nevada later.
What is your sense Because your opponent will be a Hispanic American, and she wears that on her sleeve.
Where does the Hispanic American community stand right now, in your mind, of backing the MAGA agenda and backing MAGA candidates out in the great state of Nevada?
unidentified
Well, look, what President Trump did with the Hispanic vote in Las Vegas was unprecedented.
He moved the Hispanic vote from Mitt Romney in 2012 to almost 40% in 2020.
And so there's no question that the Hispanic community understood that the economy was the best they've ever experienced under President Trump.
And, you know, they got away with it in 2020 as things started teetering.
And as the Democrat governor locked our state down, they blamed Trump for the economic troubles and for them losing their jobs.
But guess what?
It's been two years.
They can't keep blaming Trump.
And what we're seeing, in fact, there's been three public polls that have had Hispanics at 50-50 in my race.
And that's because, you know, what do they have to look forward to by continuing to stick with the Democrat Party?
The Democrat Party is against the American dream.
They hate our country.
They're pushing critical race theory.
Of course, they push lockdowns, which really hurt the Hispanic community in Southern Nevada.
They support BLM and they're against the police, which has made our communities less safe.
And so the list really goes on and on.
This is a chance of a lifetime for us to hold 50% of the Hispanic community.
And look, I don't want to get ahead of myself.
I think we're going to do that for this race.
I think this is going to be permanent.
I think as long as we keep the notions of prosperity and the America Dream and law and order and America First principles, this could be a permanent shift we see in Nevada.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
What is your opponent that's in the Senate right now, as she's coming out and talking to the papers, as she's going around, what agenda is she trying to cut herself loose from the Biden's fiasco, the illegitimate regime's fiasco?
I mean, how is she even positioning this right now?
unidentified
Well, I'll tell you what, they're sending Kamala Harris to Reno this Friday.
And we, of course, jumped all over and we asked if my opponent is going to join her at the event where supposedly they're going to be pushing the economic successes of the Biden administration.
Of course, we reminded everyone that gas in Reno is $5.60.
Thanks to this administration's policies.
Thanks to Senator Masto supporting these policies.
They all stand with the far-left Green New Deal, which has killed our state, killed our economy.
And so, you know, the bottom line is she has to make it up.
When there was a poll on April 1 that had me at 47-40, Senator Masto started what I call the Rehabilitation Tour.
And she has spent $4 million lying to voters that she supports law enforcement and that she has been the champion of fighting against human trafficking.
Well, the bottom line is she supports open borders.
She's never stood against those policies.
We all know that it's open borders that has led to these spikes in human trafficking, the spikes in fentanyl and other drugs coming over our border.
And it's also she supported the George Floyd policing bill.
She supported the nomination of these defund the police Biden appointees for the Department of Justice.
And so she's not going to be able to run against her record.
But she is certainly trying to rehabilitate it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Adam, as you go around the state, give me the two or three things.
When you talk to the citizens of Nevada, what's the two or three things in their mind that say, hey, look, if you go to Washington, here's what we need you to do.
Here's what we want you to focus on.
Because I know you go on a lot of listening tours, and you're a guy that's not going to just sit there and try to dominate the room.
You're going to listen to people.
What are people telling you that you're taking to heart, that you figure a couple of your top two or three priorities in their mind?
unidentified
Well, look, first and foremost, Steve, anytime I'm talking to national media, they always want to say, what's the one issue?
And I tell them it's not one issue.
It's a lot of issues.
And they, of course, fight back.
I say, why don't you spend some time with real voters to understand they're more than capable of following all of the tragedies and disasters of the Biden administration.
I would say first and foremost, though, people just inherently understand the left is destroying our country.
People understand that our way of life is under assault, and they want people that are going to be able to fight back against that.
And so that overhangs everything.
You can put most issues under that.
They want people like President Trump.
They want people like Senator Josh Hawley.
They want people like Governor Ron DeSantis.
All these people are supporting me in this race because they know me.
They know I'm going to be that type of fighter that understands we have to defeat the left.
This isn't a group that we can compromise with or negotiate with.
They must be put in the ashbin of history and we've got to be able to go on offense, sell ideas, whether it's big tech, whether it's supporting our police, whether it's closing our border and making it a border that we actually control.
These are all issues that go under how we can go on offense to save our country.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Adam, you're the MAGA candidate out there.
There's been some recent stories about the primary itself.
Walk me through that, because conservatives out there, Republicans out there, the Trump movement out there, they're about as diehard MAGA as you can get anywhere in the country.
Boris, I will tell you, the time we've spent with you, and you were with us in 2016, you've been with us the entire time.
In fact, you were with us early, even before 2016.
What is the status of your primary?
unidentified
Look, the primary looks great.
We've consistently led by double digits.
But, you know, when you've got a primary opponent that's down, they start throwing everything against the wall.
And so, bizarrely, they've been running an attack ad that says that I didn't fight against election, fight for election integrity issues.
And I know you all know that's laughable, Boris especially, who is deeply involved in that.
But but the reality is that when he was asked when he got in the race by the Las Vegas Review Journal about election integrity, you know what his answer was?
We just need to move on.
We need to look past that.
Voters don't care about this.
And then he finally started understanding a little bit of our voters and realized, oh, this is actually a big issue.
One of the biggest issues for our voters here in the state.
He's gone after me on the Second Amendment.
Of course, baseless attacks, but I'm the only candidate in the whole state that was endorsed by the NRA, full bore, A+.
I'm also endorsed by Gun Owners of America.
We all know that those groups don't put their endorsements behind you unless they know that I've stood in the arena.
And so the bottom line is that as President Trump looked into a camera, I think it's the only ad in America where he looked into a camera and said, The only guy I can trust in Nevada is Adam Lysol.
He was a conservative AG.
He fought for closed borders.
He fought for election integrity.
He fought for our Constitution.
And, you know, I'll take that endorsement any day of the week.
And you're absolutely right.
Our voters still love Donald Trump.
And we're going to win this primary handily.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Adam, how do people follow you on social media and how do they find out more about your campaign?
unidentified
Yeah, Adam Laxalt.
Pretty easy.
On all our socials, it's Adam Laxalt.
And you can go on adamlaxalt.com for our campaign stuff.
And let me tell you this, that the George Soros group just put $2 million in to try to defeat me, to try to interfere with this primary.
You've got NBC, you've got liberal outlets in Nevada that my primary opponent is teaming up with to try to disrupt the primary and try to make it look like there's There's trouble here.
There certainly is not trouble here.
I know our, our viewers and our followers have lived this long enough to know that if the left-wing media is going after you, then you are in the right spot.
And so we feel very, very strong.
We've had thousands of people that we've been able to rally all across the state.
We're going to be crisscrossing Nevada for the final 10 days here.
And, uh, but the fight has been going on for months and months.
We've been defining Captain Cortez Masto.
They're after me because they know we're going to defeat her in November.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Adam, fight on.
Thank you so much for taking time away today to join us here on War and Battleground.
unidentified
Thank you guys.
Appreciate it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Thanks.
Boris, I want to go to you before I go to Jim Marchant.
I want to put this in perspective.
Laxalt's been a fighter out there for Trump for a long time.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Oh yeah, big time.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Soros money.
Soros money's pouring in there like non-stop.
Hey, I tell people, when Soros comes in against a guy, that's a guy you want to say, hey, I think this guy's got something going on.
Soros broke McDonald's.
unidentified
That's how you know.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
So they're all over this.
So walk me through.
Yeah, walk me through the primary fight, and then I want to spend a minute on the general before I go to Jim Marchand, who's running for the Secretary of State out there.
Walk me through what's happening out there.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Well, Adam Laxalt's been endorsed.
Adam Laxalt is the Attorney General of the state of Nevada.
Adam Laxalt has served this country, as has his opponent, you know, bravely, obviously.
You know, I think it's a very clear race.
You know, Adam's been in the state a long time, he knows the state, the people of Nevada know him, and he's the perfect candidate to take on the sitting senator there.
The perfect candidate.
Because you need somebody who, again, knows the state, who's known in the state, Who's full-on MAGA, and who's authentic to the people of Nevada.
And I think Adam's up by a lot.
You never obviously know what happens, but with the President's endorsement, with the strength of Adam coming on the show talking to the War Room Posse, I think there's a lot to be optimistic for Adam Laxalt and his team.
And then it's all about Winning that seat, because Adam Laxall can very well be the 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th senator as we pick up seats across the country in Nevada, in Arizona, in Georgia, so on and so forth.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Just so I go to Marchant, Mastos is in play, right?
This seat's a high priority?
This seat's in play?
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Oh, she'd be in play even in a medium midterm year.
She's an extremely weak senator.
She does not represent that, does not really truly represent that state.
And she's not popular.
Also, she's not known.
She doesn't have any real name IDs.
This seat is absolutely in play, but it's only in play if you have a strong candidate who knows the state.
And also, remember, Adam Laxalt should have won that race in 2018.
I mean, he came that close.
And the people of Nevada know that if he had won, they'd be much better off now.
Then they are.
unidentified
So, I think it goes a long way.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Laxalt came that close in 18 in a terrible year for us.
Let's be honest.
Exactly.
That was not a good year.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
So if Laxalt is this close in a blue year, imagine how he'll do in a historic MAGA wave year.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Let me get Jim Marchand.
Jim Marchand's kind of the man of the hour.
Look, Jim, somehow Politico got onto a call.
It was the secret tapes.
It's banning its precinct strategy.
You've got all these guys, they're trying to, these radicals, election deniers, excuse me, election deniers are trying to come in and take over the apparatus.
And then people started to make the connection, hey, you've got these guys led by Marchand, not just secretaries of state going after the source guys in every state, but they're also working together To make sure that we can have a wave and get 20, 25 of these Secretaries of State.
Walk us through what you're trying to do.
Tell the American people what you guys are actually working on because MSNBC and Politico are like, we're trying to permanently make sure there are no Democratic elections in this country.
It's actually the exact opposite.
But everybody wants to hear from you, sir.
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Great.
Yeah, we're making a lot of progress.
Another hit piece came out today.
I'm a bottom dweller.
So I wear that proudly as a badge of honor coming from the mainstream media.
And so we're doing a lot of things.
As you know, I think we're up to over 20 candidates nationwide, primarily Secretary of State candidates.
We have other candidates that are MAGA, America First candidates that are running for other offices like Governor, Senator Mastriano in Pennsylvania, and a couple of Congress candidates that have requested to get in.
Our coalition because the momentum that we do have, the things that we are doing behind the scenes to affect this 2022 election.
And as you know, it begins with the Secretary of State elections because primarily the Secretaries of State control the election process.
And our goal and our coalition is to have a fair and transparent election all around the country.
And that's what we're working for.
We're working very hard for it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Why is the left losing their minds over this?
Because they are losing their minds.
I mean, the coverage in Politico, the secret tapes, and then you had, you know, poor Joy Ann Reid and Chris Hayes.
I mean, they're apoplectic about this.
And the guests they got on, you know, they had Michael Steele the other night.
And Kurt Bardella, I mean, they just say, hey, it's happening, it's real, you gotta, I mean, why are they in panic mode about American citizens coming in and being heads of canvas boards, B-Poll workers, become election officials, and support, you know, 20 or so American citizens who want to become Secretaries of State?
These kind of down-ballot races used to be forgotten about.
Why are they triggered, I think, more on this topic than anything else that the MAGA movement's doing?
Why is that, Jim Marchant?
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Because they know their gig is up.
If we have a fair and transparent election across the country, their gig is up.
Because the only way they can win is to manipulate the system through the analog system and the universal mail-in ballots that are all over the country, as well as the electronic voting machines.
You know, you know about that report that just came out a couple of days ago.
We've known about that, you know, for a long time.
They've had flaws in this system dating back to 2015 and they haven't fixed them.
And so that's, they know that their gig is up.
If we have a fair election in the country, then they are not in power and they are, their heads are exploding because they know that.
And that's why we've got to continue To progress in what we're doing, we're doing a lot of great things behind the scenes, and they don't like it.
We're counter and reversing what George Soros and Harry Reid did back in 2004, and we know it will work, and that's why they are very, very afraid of what we're doing.
Over the past few days, I've had every news media organization reach out to me and a lot of our coalition members I think just to try to get us to say something wrong or inaccurate so they can pin it on us and, you know, we're not talking to them.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
That's why we're so proud that you came on here.
I told you when we started this thing, you're the man of the moment.
I mean, they're in total meltdown.
Real quickly, explain to people about the coalition and how they can do it, what site they have to go to, to understand the coalition more if they want to support it, and then your individual race for Secretary of State.
Because you're kind of doing two things.
You're running for Secretary of State in Nevada, And you're also helping to organize and put together this coalition or this alliance of other MAGA-oriented, MAGA-directed, and MAGA-believing people running for Secretaries of State throughout many states in the Union.
So walk us through both of those real quickly.
How do people get to and how they get more information?
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, first of all, the coalition, is americafirstsos.com.
So that's spelled out very simply, americafirstsos.com.
And that's the organization that receives money for the coalition and helps us candidates get elected.
And believe me, we need it.
We have not only the Democrats fighting against us, but more importantly, the RINO Republicans and the RINO establishment.
They are fighting me harder than the Democrats ever fought me out here in Nevada.
And that's going on all over the country with Tina Peters in Colorado and Christina Caramo in Michigan.
And we saw what happened with Jody Heiss in Georgia, which is a travesty.
We've got to stop that.
We've got to keep that from happening for the rest of our Secretary of State coalition.
So, AmericaFirstSOS.com, we need all the funds that we can get To support our candidates and get us through because the other side, the RINOs, and with the help of the Soros Democrats, our opponents are well funded, and they have paid attention to the primary.
And that's why Jody lost in Georgia, one of the reasons.
And so we can't let that happen.
We've got to get enough money to support the candidates around the country, and that's what I'm doing.
That's what we're focused on in promoting this coalition.
so that we can get our selected and save our country. If we get just a few of the candidates that we have in our coalition, we save our country. It's as simple as that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
No, this is an incredibly important...
By the way, I'm hearing from sources that the Haldeman Report may actually be released, at least some redacted version of it.
This kind of mythical Haldeman Report that actually talks about how the machines can be hacked is supposed to be maybe released in the morning.
If so, Jim, we'll track you down and get you back on.
Jim, real quickly, how do people find out more about you, social media, how they find out more about the campaign, and how they find out about the coalition?
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, my campaign website is jimmarshant.com.
J-I-M-M-A-R-C-H-A-N-T dot com.
Of course, I need help, too.
I'm looking pretty good in the primary, but I just need to keep working hard and keep up with my cabal Republican establishment opponent who is spending double what I'm spending buying TV ads and digital.
And it's a struggle for me to keep up, but I'm doing it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Jim Marchant, your hero and a patriot.
I gotta tell you, they're coming for you, man.
Every time I see all these media guys, they say, Marchant's the problem.
He's the one that's organized this, so you hang in there, sir.
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Thank you, Steve.
Appreciate it.
Boris, thank you, too.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Boris, put that in perspective.
We've got about a minute, minute and a half.
Walk through the audience, how important this is, and what Marchand's been doing.
I mean, the guy is a warrior.
And ladies and gentlemen, you've got to know, the pressure on this guy is enormous.
Not just Nevada, he's got that on his shoulders for the Secretary of State running against the RINOs in the primary.
But man, he's got the whole world coming at him, because they're scared to death about this Secretary of State coalition.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Well, Steve, first of all, I want to put into context how important it is that your guests are starting to also think me when I'm the co-host of the show, okay?
For the hour.
I think that's great.
unidentified
Okay, hold it, hold it, hold it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I've got a producer here that's taking notes of that, right?
We're totally noted, right?
Maybe it's too many co-hosts.
Go ahead, sir.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Just what I'm here, just what I'm here, just what I'm here, okay?
And by the way, it's an honor, Steve, as you know, it's an honor to be with you.
It's an honor to be with the audience.
Really, it's the thing I look forward to the most every single day that I wake up and go to work.
So, it's truly an honor to be a part of this team.
As far as Jim Marshawn, I mean, this guy is the tip of the spear.
And look at him.
I mean, this guy, you know, he doesn't need it.
You know, he can go and hang out, do whatever he wants with his life.
But he is here fighting.
And that's why you've got all these deranged people at MSNBC.
You've got all the deranged haters.
They know the reality.
They know that MAGA is in control and there's nothing they can do to stop it.
And by the way, this coalition, it's going to be hot.
I may know a couple, two, three things about it because we're getting involved and we're going to make this thing the biggest movement in the country next to MAGA.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Bigger.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Big.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
By the way, like he said, the gig's up.
Once you control the elections, once you can actually look and make sure they're fair and traditional elections, it's over for them.
They only win by cheating.
Short break.
Back in a moment.

War Room, Battleground, with Stephen K. Bannon.
Bye.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, welcome back.
We're gonna stick with this.
Look, ever since the Politico story broke yesterday, I thought it was actually a good story.
I mean, she had the secret tape and she was talking about all this and I think she did a good job on TV.
It's the meltdown of MSNBC that's been really pretty extraordinary.
I want to bring in Patrick Kolbeck.
You remember Patrick, this audience remembers Patrick in the fights we had up in Michigan when he was really the tip of the spear on the technical side.
Look, we're getting word, and we're going to be doing this tomorrow, I want everyone in the audience to understand, the 10 o'clock hour.
My understanding is that Professor Haldeman's report may actually come out tomorrow in some redacted form.
But Patrick, the reason I want to get you on here, you're probably the best guy, and you were recommended by Clayton and everybody else, so get Patrick on, about, we've been told Boris, correct me if I'm wrong, we were told ad infinitum that the machines are not hooked up to the internet, the machines can't be hacked.
Remember, Boris and I, we are not machine guys.
We are not machine guys.
We kind of believe in the Zuckerberg and the mail-in ballots and Peter Navarro's analysis of the canvassing problems, non-voters voting, all that.
But the machines, because it's too technical for us.
But when Sysa comes out, and I said this the other day, Boris, I called him right away, I said, hey, they've got a story in the Washington Post talking about these things coming out.
They're getting ahead of this story.
Because the headline is, there is no machine problems in 2020 election.
And then the buried lead, a couple of paragraphs down, oh, by the way, there's a report there that does say the machines can be hacked.
And it's now definitive the machines can be hacked.
Tell our audience what's going on here.
I mean, what's this Haldeman Report?
Why is it coming out now?
And why is this a bombshell for people that are just obsessed with the machines, and particularly all of us, and I'm including that, want to get the machines out of here and just go back to paper ballots, go back to our hand count of paper ballots, sir.
patrick colbeck ▲ ● ▼
Well, I take a look at it from two different perspectives.
One from a political perspective.
Why are they releasing it at this time?
Why is there an advisory that went out?
And why was that advisory leaked out to the media?
Well, I think it's pretty clear why that happened.
From a political perspective, that was put out for damage control for Dominion, number one.
Number two was done to shape the battlefield going into the 2022 elections to fit that misinformation campaign that they're putting out there that says anytime we talk about these vulnerabilities, you know, it's misinformation.
Well, here they're trying to package it and confine that misinformation narrative to just these ICX machines.
So what are the odds that they're going to suggest we just replace it with some other machine?
This is by the way These ICX machines for most states is actually a very small component like here in Michigan of their overall footprint of these voting machines in Georgia however, it's pretty much the whole enchilada and same thing with Nevada and it's a special type of direct Recording equipment where essentially you don't even need a paper ballot in this So it's particularly dangerous what they're highlighting.
So frankly should never be used in the first place.
So number one, they're trying to shape the battle or they're trying to do damage control from a Dominion perspective.
Number two, what they're trying to do is shape the narrative going into the 2022 elections.
I know, by the way, as kind of a reserve card, if things don't go the way that they'd like, they're going to go off and And play this card after the election and say, see, we told you there were security vulnerabilities because that's exactly what they did in 2020.
Prior to November 3rd, you could talk about these security vulnerabilities all the time.
After November 3rd, 2020, all of a sudden that was behind the censorship veil and you couldn't talk about it because it was the most secure election in history.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
But that's the point.
I mean, this was really a Democratic... I want everyone in the audience to understand this.
This was a big Democratic thing.
You had that spot that's so great to go to the Democrats.
Haldeman's a Democrat.
He's up front about Democrats.
And Barry Lee, the thing was so amazing, he says, it's unfortunate... I actually put it at the top of my getter.
He goes, this is like 20 paragraphs down.
And I think this was the AP story, the following from the Washington Post, 20 paragraphs down the AP, he goes, it's really an unfortunate coincidence that the issues that we're talking about on this are with the Dominion machines.
An unfortunate coincidence.
Well, in the war room, we say there's no conspiracies, but no coincidences.
What do you think about that, Patrick?
patrick colbeck ▲ ● ▼
Well, first of all, it's not limited to Dominion.
All these electronic voting systems have significant security vulnerabilities.
It just so happened that Dominion's got quite a few of them, and this report that Halderman's talking about is ostensibly going to highlight some of the more damning ones related to the ICX platform.
The bottom line is, there's a lot of security vulnerabilities.
Frankly, I don't even know why we're so anxious for the 100-page report.
The stuff that's already public knowledge in regards to these security vulnerabilities, including the court exhibits from Halderman himself in the lawsuit against Kemp, Back in 2018.
I mean, they're pretty damning.
It talks about how he can inject malware into the system, it can propagate to all the voting machines on that network, and it won't be detected.
I mean, that's pretty damning right there.
And by the way, it doesn't even require an internet connection.
You could do that with these little flash drives that are used to program the tabulators.
And by the way, you can ask the Iranians how good an air gap system is at preventing the proliferation of a virus like Stuxnet.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Patrick, we've got to bounce, but we're going to want to get you back on maybe tomorrow morning as this report gets released and give us the analysis because you're the top guy to do it.
How do people follow you on social media and how they find out more about your thinking on this?
patrick colbeck ▲ ● ▼
Well, I've got a website called letsfixstuff.org, and I just put out a book called The 2020 Coup, so if you go to the2020coup.com, we talk about these election system vulnerabilities and a lot more.
It's really good to see.
I think we're finally getting the wind in our sails on this topic, because this stuff is getting exposed, and thank you and Boris for all your hard work on this.
And by the way, I agree with him.
I saw the earlier segment around Jim Marchant, and he's one of the good guys, and we got Christina Caramo and Matt DiPerno out in Michigan working the same statewide issues around election fraud here.
unidentified
Well, hold it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
DiPerno, I'm hearing now the Secretary of State's going to start indicting guys over this.
Look, they can do whatever they're going to do.
They're going to get blown out in November and then it's a different deal.
It's a different game.
We're tired of it.
We're sick of it.
And we're not going to tolerate it anymore.
People are coming to the ballot box.
You talk about democracy on MSNBC and CNN.
Hey, you're going to get a democracy suppository, OK?
Because the people in their righteous indignation have had a belly full of this.
And they're going to come, and they're going to come at the ballot box.
And that's why, when you get the Colbecks and the Christinas, and you get Marchant, and you get Fincham, you get all these people in charge, you're going to have free and fair elections.
They're going to be totally transparent.
And whatever the vote is of American citizens, then that's the vote.
That's the way it is.
That's our system.
But it's going to be a fair, transparent vote of people called American citizens.
Patrick Colbeck, thank you so much, brother.
We'll make sure we push the book.
patrick colbeck ▲ ● ▼
All right, great to be with you, Nakamalai.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, brother.
By the way, Boris, I love that title.
The 2020 coup.
I mean, that's kind of... That's my kind of guy right there!
No, Colbeck's the best.
He's a hammer.
Hold it.
This is what I love about it.
I don't think you're gonna walk into your Barnes & Noble and see that in the display up at the front, right?
They're not gonna have that book.
They'll have the 400 Trump-hating books that don't sell, but they will not have Patrick Colbeck's The 2020 Coup.
Give us your perspective of this Haldeman thing.
I want to get to Steve Stern, who's one of the great warriors in this movement, because they're melting down about the army that Stern and Schultz and these other people are building.
Give us a perspective on this Haldeman situation.
Because you and I are not machine guys, but hey, guess what?
I may become a machine guy adjacent now that we're seeing some really super hardcore facts come out.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
And Steve Stern is a great patriot, especially because he sent me some great shirts.
unidentified
And I've been wearing them around Washington, D.C.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
and New Jersey.
You know how much they love MAGA and patriotism.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
I didn't know he made an XXXL.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Okay, first of all, you're Robert Redford days from 30 years ago.
unidentified
You're Robert Redford days. That's 30 years ago.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Okay, Steve?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna get Joanna Miller on here quickly if you keep it up.
Okay, no, keep going, keep going.
She'll defend me, she'll defend me.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
There's no doubt, there's no doubt.
You are their favorite, especially, you know, with the George Hamilton tan you got going.
And in all seriousness, You and I have not been machine guys.
And actually, you know, a lot of times, you know, when I talk to folks, I'll say that.
I'll say, you know, I'm open to hearing about the machines.
But what I know for a fact is that the Democrats stole in the old school way, flooding the ballots and getting checks.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Amen.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
Having said that, the events of the last two weeks, especially A government entity coming out with a report that says that not one, not two, not three, but sixteen states using machines, using these voting machines, have vulnerabilities.
Yeah, I'm very quickly becoming machine-adjacent.
You better believe it.
You better believe it.
Because this information, this knowledge- It's shocking.
Because here's the deal, right?
Knowledge is power.
And now we've got knowledge that... By the way, just real quick.
We've known for a long time that the line about them not being able to be hooked up to the internet is bullcrap, okay?
We've known that for a long time.
That was a lie.
And we knew that from the Arizona machines and the Pennsylvania machines and others.
So we've known that that's been a fact.
But now, to have Democrats come out and say, hey, these are penetrable.
And again, this takes us back to, what, ten years ago, when you had Elizabeth Warren writing letters saying, we cannot have machines on the structure.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
What Mikulcic said is, by the way, this is why I called you on Friday.
This is damage control. They put the advice, they're trying to get ahead of it with damage control in the Washington Post.
boris epshteyn ▲ ● ▼
But not 2020, don't worry, don't worry.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
They're trying to form the battlefield. This is not, I'm telling you, this report, this 100-page report, and we'll see what's written.
Look at the shirts!
to melt down the mainstream media. I've never seen him lose it like anything about the army that you guys are building on the precinct strategy.
unidentified
Look at the shirts. Steve, is there enough shirts out there?
Come on, it's Steve Stern.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
He's the shirt guy.
Come on, Steve.
By the way, thank you very much for getting the shirts to Boris.
We greatly appreciate it.
And I'm just teasing about the size.
Steve, tell us why...
Would the mainstream media be melting down because a guy that went to West Point, Dan Schultz, a great patriot like yourself, has been an entrepreneur and built a great company that honors America and honors the American flag and passed it on to your son.
And you're going all around as volunteers.
Everybody you talk to is an American citizen that wants to get engaged.
Why is the mainstream media saying this is the rise of fascism?
These guys, Stern's a bad guy.
Schultz is a bad guy.
All these guys are bad guys.
What do you got to say about that, Steve Stern?
steve stern ▲ ● ▼
Well, the first thing we'll show you, your friend here, Boris, in the great shirt.
Thank you, Boris, for displaying it.
But what's happened is, Dan Schultz, myself, with ThePrecinctStrategy.com, and everybody should go and buy the book.
Go to Amazon and buy that book to learn how to turn this country around.
Dan started 13 years ago with you.
All of a sudden, it's exploded.
And, you know, when I get together with him, we have exploded this.
So what's happened is, People are getting involved.
You know, the school boards, they're going everywhere.
They're becoming commissioners.
They're becoming mayors everywhere.
So the Democrats are going nuts because, you know, we were always laid back.
We didn't do anything.
You know, we let them get their way.
Now we're getting into action.
So they're getting worried.
I mean, this next election is going to be a bombshell for the Republican Party.
How are they going to do this?
They're trying to get their people out.
Their people don't want to go out.
They're not motivated.
They're going to pay $5.65 for gas.
They're going to spend double for food.
They're looking and saying, what is this Democratic Party doing to us?
So what's happening is all our people are coming up, no matter where we go.
We got David Penn over in Minnesota.
He's one of your guys backing Royce.
And he's doing a super phenomenal job in a blue state.
He's got people going bananas.
He's got a little article that comes out, the news that makes the nation Uh, every Saturday they have a meeting and, you know, he's trying to get, um, Lindell to help him.
So we're trying to really do a terrific job.
I think, uh, you know, we have people calling us all the time.
So if you want to get a hold of me, we sit, we will take every question.
We will let you know how to get involved.
If I can't find a way, Dan Schultz will get the way.
Give us a call.
S Stern, 1054-AL, an email 954-318-6902.
As you know, everybody gets their call back.
And the good thing is they say, Hey, go ahead.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Hey Steve, we've got to jump, but I've got to ask you one thing.
What they're trying to do on this television is to scare people off from volunteering.
You've got about a minute.
Walk through.
Are you getting any sense that the MAGA movement out there and all these great patriots that have been coming to PrecinctStrategy.com, that have been coming and want to be canvassers, they want to be poll workers, they want to be election officials.
Is the media's and the left-wing progressives' attacks Do you believe they're scaring people off and we're slowing down in our momentum, sir?
steve stern ▲ ● ▼
Not at all.
I think if anything, it's getting bigger and I got a guy called YourNews.com who's spreading the word.
He's putting it out by zip code.
So he's got people coming in and he's doing everything he can to do it.
We got a new app, which Dan told you yesterday, VotifyNow.org, which is helping us.
So people, you know, even in Broward, I take Broward, Palm Beach, We take Arkansas.
We take Alabama.
We're on the phone all the time with these people and your success stories.
And one at a time, they're telling me, no, people are coming out in droves.
They want to know what's happening.
They want to turn this country around.
unidentified
And as you know, I'm wearing my border hat, where I was with Tom Homan.
steve stern ▲ ● ▼
He's getting people motivated.
We were up in Mar-a-Lago a couple of months ago.
We raised $100,000.
We're sending out videos to everybody.
Here's a little picture of me and Tom.
And you know, he's getting people in.
Everybody's getting people in.
unidentified
And your program, among three or four other programs, are really doing it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
No, we want other programs for you.
Steve, real quickly, one more time.
How do people get to you at The Shirt Company?
unidentified
www.theflagshirt.com.
steve stern ▲ ● ▼
When you walk around with a shirt, Like I did today when I was wearing it, because I'd be on a couple of shows.
People come up to me, I show them my card, how to get involved, and we're going to have a big thing going on next week where we got a guy.
It's one thing to get involved, but you've got to maintain those people.
You've got to give them something to do.
If you don't give them anything to do, it's not going to happen.
unidentified
So we're working on that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Steve, thank you so much.
You're a great patriot.
The most ambitious 81-year-old I know.
Honored to have you on here, brother.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
That's amazing.
That's fantastic.
Steve, thank you very much, sir.
Appreciate it.
I gotta go to, let's go to Joanne Miller.
We got Joanne.
Joanne, the reason people are fighting, the reason people are fighting is the fact that so many things in this country are wrong.
As I get phone calls and people blowing me up all day long, one of the things that's gotten under their Right, so I've got three different updates today, and this is what's getting everybody so angry.
really getting information out.
When did Biden know it?
How do we get in this situation?
You've been doing your you were in the bars right hand.
Walk us through where we stand with this.
And quite frankly, the cover up by the White House.
unidentified
Right, so I've got three different updates today.
This is what's getting everybody so angry.
So on top of saying, you know, I get the short of the cover that importing potentially contaminated formula from Europe.
He's now importing nutritionally questionable goat milk formula from Australia, and there's still no money going to the US.
production of baby formula to our U.S.
manufacturing companies.
At this rate, we may as well just import from Biden's best bud, the Taliban.
There's lots of goats over there.
The second point is, Biden's imports are not enough to sustain the U.S.
in terms of quantity, quality.
So there's reports out that basically say that, that he will not be able to import enough baby formula to get us through till when Abbott can start producing again in a couple weeks from now.
And then secondly, there was a mother that was on Fox News, I think we were talking about this earlier this week.
The nutritional aspect of imported baby formula is so different than US-based formula, and she cannot feed it to her kids.
So no matter how many bottles they're importing, The babies won't be able to take that formula, so she's got a two-week supply left with no courses after that, and that could basically put her kids at risk for permanent brain damage.
The last thing I want to say is that Biden recently held a meeting at the White House with baby formula manufacturers, but intentionally excluded the Abbott factory, which is responsible for basically half of the U.S.
domestic production for baby formula.
Why is he inviting Australian and European companies but excluding our US manufacturers?
This is a war on American jobs and he's promising, he promised a made in America policy at the beginning of his administration but he's delivering a made in goat stalls and Australian outbacks policy.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Explain to people, because I'm getting people I know, they're executives, spending all their time trying to get formula for their grandchildren, helping their daughters or daughters-in-law.
Is this thing going to get worse before it gets better?
Are we really now entering a crisis phase, you think, of this for the babies of America?
unidentified
I think we're absolutely in crisis mode, and the fact is, he had six months to respond to this, and he's pretending he had no idea, even though there's reports that U.S.
manufacturers were calling the White House, they were calling all of our leaders saying, and calling other vendors.
Walmart, for example, saying, hey, we're going to enter crisis mode, we need help.
Biden has given zero help to our U.S.
manufacturers, and he's relying on foreign supply chains with substances that are not good, they're not sufficient for our babies.
Their immune systems are so fragile, you can't just switch the formula that they're taking in, because then, like the mother was talking about, if they don't get their nutritional, the proper nutrition, they can have permanent brain damage.
So we are absolutely in crisis mode, and Biden has still not awarded a single dollar to U.S.
mass production of baby formula.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I think it was unacceptable, too, at the press conference the other day, that the spokesman didn't have any of the facts.
Joanna, what's your social media?
How do people track you?
You're up 24-7 now.
unidentified
Yeah, truth and getter.
