now because it'll be worse later if you ignore it. How is the committee going to walk that tightrope? Well, it is a core question before this committee. | |
| How do you make this hearing matter? | ||
| How do you make Americans who are distracted and who are really just trying to survive and thrive in America, how do you focus them on democracy? | ||
| Lawmakers are saying that they think that these hearings are going to change history. | ||
| They've set a really high bar for themselves. | ||
| And what lawmakers want to do, of course, is saying that they're going to have new materials, they're going to have new evidence, they're going to be playing, they say, Really, really important testimony. | ||
| And of course, they're gonna be bringing witnesses forward. | ||
| So they're really trying to break through to Americans. | ||
| But I should tell you, Katie, I was walking around D.C. | ||
| today and I asked a voter, how are you gonna be watching the hearings? | ||
| What are you gonna be looking out for? | ||
| And that person said, what hearing? | ||
| And then when I said the January 6 hearings, that person said, is it going to be about gas prices? | ||
| So that tells you that this this is a colossal challenge for lawmakers to break through. | ||
| I've been talking to a Democratic senator who wants to see this breakthrough, but who says even in his district, he's getting calls about gas prices and baby formula and crime. | ||
| And people are not focused on this. | ||
| Of course, Democrats are saying that this is really about American democracy almost being brought to his knees. | ||
| And it's about the future of American democracy, because you see so many Republican election deniers Now winning elections, but Republicans, I should also add, they don't seem concerned when I talk to them because they think that this will be a committee hearing that will happen. | ||
| It will be talked about for a while and then come the midterm elections, people will forget about it. | ||
| Okay, welcome. | ||
| It is Thursday, 9 June, Year of the Lord 2022. | ||
| We're just a couple hours away from the prime time of the network's getting to the 6th, the January 6th committee. | ||
| We've got an all-star lineup for the next two hours. | ||
| Matt Gaetz, Boris Epstein, Elise Stefanik, Darren Beattie, Eric Greitens, Dee Royce White, And of course, we're going to start. | ||
| Thank you for co-hosting. | ||
| Gates was so good this morning, we had to bring him back for the 5 o'clock show. | ||
| Thank you for doing that very much. | ||
| I like the fact, coming in no collar. | ||
| You've gone very Silicon Valley on this. | ||
| Listen, when you come to the War Room, you've got to be ready to man the ramparts, okay? | ||
| You cannot man the ramparts dressed as nice as the Senate. | ||
| OK, and we start off with the with our former executive editor, Liz Harrington, who's now communications strategist and head of comms for President Trump. | ||
| Liz, I want to ask you, let's go around the horn. | ||
| I'll bring Boris up in a second before we get to I got to talk to you about Georgia for a second. | ||
| Someone's bugging me about that. | ||
| And Boris brought up the other day, Gates has been talking about it. | ||
| But let's talk with the PBS, the head of PBS News right there, says she's walking around, and she's no Trump fan, right? | ||
| She said Democracy is on the Line, she's walking around D.C. | ||
| doing some reporting, says, hey, you're going to watch the 6th, what do you, what, what, the hearing tonight, oh, it's the one on gasoline prices. | ||
| That's a problem. | ||
| Liz Harrington, your thoughts? | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| I mean, you would think that would jolt them back to reality for maybe, you know, two seconds, please, God. | ||
| But no, she went right back into this is going to be a historic event. | ||
| If the people of the District of Columbia are not going to watch this thing and are not interested in this thing and say, hey, actually, let's talk about something that's happening to our country, to my life, like record high gas prices, They've got a big problem. | ||
| I mean, they do have a big problem, because all they're going to do tonight is put on propaganda for an illegitimate regime. | ||
| And they're not going to talk about anything that's real with January 6, which is, they didn't talk about the voter fraud. | ||
| That's why everyone was there in the first place. | ||
| And that's what President Trump keeps saying. | ||
| And they didn't want to talk about it then. | ||
| And they certainly don't want to talk about it now, which is what I want to talk to you about in Georgia. | ||
| But this is a huge, giant propaganda piece that I believe is going to fall so flat, because people are sick of the lies, and they're watching their country be destroyed before their eyes. | ||
| And this is just a big slap in the face, a big F you to the American people to say we don't care about your daily problems that we ourselves are inflicting upon you. | ||
| Liz, this is Matt Gaetz. | ||
| I've heard rumors on the floor today that Democrats think that the strategy to cut through will be clips of the testimony of members of the President's family and those who are closest to them. | ||
| We've already seen General Kellogg come out and praise Ivanka Trump for confronting her father, calling her a hero. | ||
| If there are selectively edited, out-of-context clips from Ivanka Trump or Jared Kushner or Donald Trump Jr., is the Trump Organization, is President Trump ready to demand a full release of the full tapes so that the American people are not left with whatever carefully curated lie Adam Schiff and Liz Cheney and Bennie Thompson put together? | ||
| Well, look, we've been here before, right? | ||
| Adam Schiff, he's the failed screenwriter who couldn't make it in Hollywood, so he's been writing up fake scripts against President Trump and his family for years now. | ||
| If they do that, which I would not put it past them, You better believe we are going to hit back ten times harder. | ||
| I mean, they've already edited text messages from Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, others. | ||
| This is a communist committee that has shown there's nothing that they won't do. | ||
| So we're ready for everything. | ||
| And there's no one to stop them from cheating. | ||
| There's no one to stop him from cheating, there's no one to stop him from doctoring evidence. | ||
| The question is, what is the antidote to that? | ||
| When they roll out this highly produced, carefully curated segment tonight, is the answer back to demand a full accounting of the full evidence so that provides the ability for us to punch back with the truth? | ||
| The antidote is always the truth. | ||
| And in every case about this day and the series of events, the truth is on our side. | ||
| And look at John Solomon's reporting. | ||
| Yes, President Trump did request 20,000 National Guard. | ||
| You know what Pelosi's Sergeant of Arms said? | ||
| Oh, SDC, they might give you 125. | ||
| This was purposeful. | ||
| They wanted this to happen because they wanted a delay. | ||
| They didn't want the evidence to be aired before the American people. | ||
| So, we will hit back with the truth. | ||
| The truth is on our side every issue with this. | ||
| Let me just walk through a technical aspect, and we're going to get, after Liz bounces, we'll get into the details of this with Boris and with Petey. | ||
| But Liz, when you left the RNC and came here, I think shortly after the 2020 election, you came over as our executive editor, and so you were here for the second impeachment, right? | ||
| And the first impeachment was amazing. | ||
| The second impeachment, I thought people did a good side, although I thought we were held on the chain from really going after them. | ||
| But in both of those situations, we had the evidence. | ||
| You knew it was going to be presented. | ||
| There was a different structure to it. | ||
| Remember that, Liz? | ||
| We would talk about it and it's kind of like warm impeachment. | ||
| We would break down who was going to be there, kind of had everything. | ||
| You guys were, once again, the Jordans, the Stefanics, the Gateses were the tip of the spear. | ||
| And here we don't have that, Liz. | ||
| I mean, we are going into this blind. | ||
| I mean, the fact is we're going to see it in real time. | ||
| There's been some leaks, but I think very small leaks. | ||
| We kind of know it's going to be some sort of, you know, take this rag tag kind of beer drinking group called the Proud Boys, turn them into the brown shirts and connect that directly to Donald Trump. | ||
| So, Liz, what are you concerned at all that unlike when you were here as executive editor on the second impeachment, we are going in as a team and don't really know what is going to pop up tonight? | ||
| You know, I'm not concerned because the first impeachment sham, they were spying on President Trump's lawyer. | ||
| They knew, they were spying on Rudy, right? | ||
| They knew exactly what, and what did they have? | ||
| Would they get a half a vote with Romney in the Senate? | ||
| It doesn't, at the end of the day, they can have all the cards that they think they can manipulate in their hand. | ||
| But ultimately, the American people are not buying the bullcrap that they're selling. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| And they see what they're doing to our country, and it's destructive, and it has to stop. | ||
| So, they're going to do their best. | ||
| They're spending our money to put this out there and make it this propaganda piece. | ||
| But it's not going to work, and we can still hit back. | ||
| But the truth, it's always been our best weapon. | ||
| The Washington Post today has a big piece, I think it's by Sargent, right? | ||
| Greg Sargent. | ||
| And I put it up on my getter saying, who's going to be, we think we found the new John Dean. | ||
| Okay, I got a big picture of Mo Dean and John Dean right there. | ||
| And the, if you go down 10 paragraphs, it's Raffensperger, right? | ||
| That Raffensperger is going to be the surprise witness in the second or third time he's going to come out. | ||
| So Liz, here's what I don't understand. | ||
| How did Raffensperger, because the teen Raffensperger up, how did Raffensperger, How did he... MTG won her county... her district by 50%. | ||
| Roethlisberger was there 25%. | ||
| That is just mathematically impossible, right? | ||
| The MTG voters are not voting for him. | ||
| How did he... how was his... and Boris is the first guy to bring it up the morning after. | ||
| How did that guy stay above 50% the entire evening, ma'am? | ||
| This guy never cracked more than 36% in the polls, right? | ||
| There was no way he was going to avoid a runoff. | ||
| And thanks to the fine patriots at Voter GA just had a press conference, we're starting to figure out a little bit how he pulled off just beating that runoff threshold of 52%. | ||
| ...is where he ended up with. | ||
| There was a hand recount in Cobb County, just one precinct, and Garland Favorito had a monitoring team there. | ||
| There was a delay for an hour because they couldn't find half the ballots. | ||
| So what did they do? | ||
| They said, let's take a look at these secretary of state votes. | ||
| Let's just see. | ||
| These are election day votes. | ||
| Let's count as many as we can. | ||
| They counted more than half of these votes in this precinct. | ||
| They found 52.6% for Raffensperger. | ||
| Okay, that sounds legit. | ||
| What did the voting machine tabulation say he got for Election Day votes in that precinct? | ||
|
unidentified
|
68%. | |
| 15% discrepancy between the actual votes in your hand and what the machine said, which Brad Raffensperger is set to certify those machine results tomorrow. | ||
| This Means we need hand count audits across the state of Georgia because this stinks. | ||
| We already had the District 2, DeKalb County, where the winner was actually the loser and they did an audit for those Democrats. | ||
| I mean, that's great, but there should be audits everywhere else because another school board district that Voter GA found, there was a woman by the name of Michelle Maranci and a woman by the name of Linda Arnold tied neck and neck at 10, 12 p.m. | ||
| on election night. | ||
| Big problem, Linda Arnold was not on the ballot. | ||
| Phil Chen was, and he had zero votes at that time. | ||
| It turns out that Phil Chen comes up just a little bit short when it's all said and done, and who's this Linda Arnold person? | ||
| I don't know, but the machine says that she's a candidate. | ||
| This thing stinks to high heaven. | ||
| I'm sorry. | ||
| We have got to look at it. | ||
| And another tell, Brad Raffensperger's sending these you know, word, tensely worded letters all across the county saying do not hand over the ballots, do not look at them. We're going to certify this thing without looking at them. This. | ||
| So here's my concern. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is Matt Gaetz. | |
| I was shocked by the results as well. | ||
| I thought the people of Georgia would choose better. | ||
| What's our plan now? | ||
| Because, ostensibly, in 2024, you're going to have Brian Kemp at best, Stacey Abrams at worst, and definitely Brad Raffensperger in charge of the elections infrastructure. | ||
| In Fulton County and DeKalb County, you have, I think, a ballot laundering operation that is very mature and effective and reliable. | ||
| So, you know, I was not impressed with the Republican National Committee's effort to train up our operatives, the very people who watch War Room, who go sign up to be precinct committee men, to ensure that the moment we see any funny business, we're in front of the duty judge with the injunctions, ready to go to seek a factual determination that, frankly, we never got in a lot of places following the 2020 election. | ||
| You know, like, in a world in which you're going to have Well, we are working on it for our team. | ||
| We certainly are not going to rely on the RNC. | ||
| I mean, look at what happened in 2020. | ||
| I mean, that was a complete and total disaster. | ||
| We let those states be stolen. | ||
| Who is going to own that plan in that state, you think? | ||
| Well, we are working on it for our team. We certainly are not going to rely on the RNC. | ||
| I mean, look at what happened in 2020. I mean, that was a complete and total disaster. We let those states be stolen. Brad Kemp, Brad Raffensperger. But we need more people there to do things like this. | ||
| What the Patriots at Voter GA are doing, which is so great about your show, Steve, organizing local teams on the ground, because the cavalry's not coming. | ||
| The courts are corrupt. | ||
| How many lawsuits have we filed? | ||
| All of this is corrupt, but we have to do our part. | ||
| We have to do what we can to make sure that this doesn't happen. | ||
| It's going to be very difficult because like you just saw, this is built in and you have just election day ballots affected. | ||
| You could see it with your own eyes. | ||
| Something was different with the people that showed up on election day. | ||
| The numbers were Just so far off in that local Democrat race. | ||
| Who shows up to vote on Election Day? | ||
| I wonder. | ||
| I mean, this is so crooked and sophisticated. | ||
| We need sunlight on it. | ||
| We need more patriots organized to get open records requests Do the due diligence that they can, but hey, we gotta root out the corruption, and we gotta have accountability. | ||
| If it's not gonna happen in Georgia, we need to do it everywhere else that it's feasible. | ||
| Elect people like Carrie Lake, elect people like Doug Mastriano, all these great patriots, that's how we're gonna fix it. | ||
| Liz, what's your social media so people can follow you tonight while they're watching the, uh, watching, or not, in case not watching the, uh, community. | ||

Right. | |

| Liz Harrington, you're a fighter and a warrior. | ||
| Thanks for dropping in. | ||
| Thanks, Liz. | ||

War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| I have America's firebrand, Congressman Matt Gaetz, is in the house. | ||
| We've got Darren Beattie, the founder and publisher and editor-in-chief of Revolver, and of course, Boris Epstein, a strategist and provocateur. | ||
| All three of you. | ||
| I want to start with you, Gaetz, about today. | ||
| There's only two candidates left in Michigan. | ||
| They've kicked everybody else off the ballot. | ||
| You've got two candidates. | ||
| You've got the medical freedom guy, Ryan, and you've got Tudor Dixon, the Real American Voice host. | ||
| Two left. | ||
| He's polling at 20%. | ||
| In the old thing, I think now he's probably polling at 40% because there's only two guys left. | ||
| He's rolled up by the FBI for a misdemeanor as the predicate for tonight's hearing. | ||
| What are your thoughts? | ||
| A lot of what I think about the Michigan-centered element of our national security apparatus going after domestic terrorism, I learned at revolver.news, where Darren Beatty was one of the very first to tell us that what we were seeing in the Whitmer kidnapping endeavor was not the actual game being played. | ||
| And those who carried that question to a jury were not convicted, and it largely looked like the FBI had thought up and inspired this kidnapping attempt. | ||
| So pardon me for being a little suspicious, when in the reporting on this raid today with the leading Republican candidate for the governorship of Michigan, you have that very same network That was utilized and the very same people involved in trying to, I think, hyper-criminalize politics. | ||
| And that's something that we've been very, very concerned about across the board. | ||
| We are at a zenith right now of FBI whistleblowers in the House Judiciary Committee. | ||
| There's always some that come in. | ||
| They are coming in at an alarming rate. | ||
| And regardless of whether it's concerns about a purge or concerns about an improper operation, they all have a constant theme. | ||
| Patriots that are still within the FBI see this and they're worried that it is an agency that is becoming increasingly political. | ||
| That it is becoming the enforcement wing of the political left. | ||
| And a lot of these whistleblowers are people who have served in our military and who love our country and who joined the Bureau thinking the Bureau was a force for good. | ||
| And I think that in this particular case, it's noteworthy the days till the election. | ||
| In the FBI and DOJ's own regs, they are not supposed to take an action within 45 days of an election that would sway the outcome. | ||
| How many days are we away from the Michigan primary? | ||
| 54 days. | ||
| So 9 days outside the window. | ||
| If they've got the goods on this guy, that this guy was right along with the QAnon shaman, like, planning the insurrection, you know, you would think that they would find a way to take action on that. | ||
| Before they run right up against that time period where they're not supposed to be engaging in politics. | ||
| It is a hyper-political move. | ||
| Darren Beattie, it says I think the thing today, there's an unclaimed, there's one of these agents, right? | ||
| And you're the first guy to say on the Whitmer situation, hey, look at all these agents that tie directly to all these federal agents that were at 6 January. | ||
| Tell us about tonight. | ||
| How's that rolling? | ||
| Are we going to hear any of that part of the narrative tonight on national TV in this extravaganza they're going to put on? | ||
| No, we're not. | ||
| In fact, we're probably going to hear everything but the questions that any actual objective, sober, and independent committee would ask about the events of January 6th. | ||
| Unfortunately, or I suppose fortunate for me, the only way to get to those questions and the evidence behind them is you have to go to revolver.news and read We'll be putting up our classics tonight so that people can do the required reading as they're listening to the committee hearings. | ||
| But no, there's no expectation. | ||
| This is a mop-up job. | ||
| It's a cover-up job. | ||
| Everyone involved has the darkest associations that you can possibly imagine, and they're interested in everything but uncovering the truth for the American people. | ||
| I know you've got to bounce, so I want to hear your opinion, then we'll get Boris and Gates in here. | ||
| Give me your thoughts. | ||
| We started with a cold open with the NPR reporter, said, hey, she went around town in D.C., asked people, and they said, oh, is this the committee tonight on high gas prices? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Right. | ||
| She says, no, it's not. | ||
| We never heard of it. | ||
| What are you talking about? | ||
| That's in Washington, D.C., which is the most politicized town in the world. | ||
| It's the local industry. | ||
| What do you think tonight? | ||
| Is tonight something you're going to counter every fact? | ||
| Are you going to watch it? | ||
| Is it something you should be engaged in? | ||
| Well, I'm going to be following it to some degree. | ||
| I don't think it's necessary to go into every detail and respond to their details, because like I said, what's the really important stuff about January 6th, the stuff that the American people need to know to understand what exactly their government is and what it's done, It's going to be the stuff that they don't say. | ||
| The important stuff is going to be the stuff that is not mentioned at all. | ||
| And so I don't really advocate this kind of thing where you respond to every little stupid claim that they put out there. | ||
| But what's important is that the American people have exposure to the actual narrative. | ||
| And it's not that they... Doesn't that depend on how many viewers, Darren? | ||
| I mean, Boris, what's the Boris Epstein over-under on the number of viewers this thing gets live? | ||
| It's tough to say because it's a blackout. | ||
| Let me give a benchmark. | ||
| Comey had $19 million. | ||
| I thought that was Mueller. | ||
| Was it Mueller had $19 million? | ||
| Yeah, I think Mueller was right under $20 million. | ||
| Okay, let's say there's $20 million. | ||
| That's a cut. | ||
| Do you think, BD first, do you think it hits $20 million tonight? | ||
| No. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| It doesn't hit $20 million. | ||
| You don't think it hits $20 million? | ||
| No. | ||
| Not that intense? | ||
| No, but if it hits like $15 million? | ||
| I think it could hit $20 million and here's how. | ||
| It's our people. | ||
| Tuning in to see how ludicrous and pathetic it is, is the only way it gets to 20. | ||
| Because listen, Yamiche Alcindor hasn't gotten a lot of things right in her career. | ||
| The one thing she's gotten right is that the American people and the Democrats mostly, and especially, and Matt, you know this better than anybody, right, based on your work in the House and in your district, especially the middle class Hispanic African American population, they care about the disaster that this country is in. | ||
| They care about the gas prices. | ||
| They care about the completely non-existent border. | ||
| They care about our losses all across the world, such as in Afghanistan, in Ukraine, where we've gotten embarrassed on and so forth. | ||
| They know that our country is in shambles. | ||
| So I think that, you know, there may be some hate-watching, but I think that if the Democrats want a specific audience, they're not going to get that audience. | ||
| I think more people are hate-watching War Room right now that are going to hate-watch this thing tonight. | ||
| So you think it's $120 million? | ||
| I'll take it. | ||
| So, you know, I think that they are going to have well over 10 million watching. | ||
| I think that they are playing to try to get continued live coverage from the networks. | ||
| And I think they're going to have some moments. | ||
| Slow down for a second. | ||
| When they went to the networks, they had to pitch the networks to do primetime. | ||
| They had to say, this is kind of what we've got. | ||
| Here's my point. | ||
| If you had a 10 million audience tonight, and you got it on broadcast TV. | ||
| There are going to be some scalps down here on the Democratic Party. | ||
| The network is going to go crazy. | ||
| They are going to lose unlimited amount of money. | ||
| So some of these guys told them, here is what we got. | ||
| Yeah, Boris, here is what we got. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have pitched networks before. | |
| When I ran a conference for the inaugural, I pitched networks on trying to get coverage on the run up to the inauguration, some events around it. | ||
| And, you know, there's always this negotiation. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The musical acts of Inauguration, that was a pitch. | |
| It wasn't Sinatra and Dean Martin showing up. | ||
| Hey, as I said, as I said in 2017, I'll say it now, we had the only celebrity, this was not Def Jam, and it was not Woodstock, but we had the only celebrity that we ever needed, the American people. | ||
| It was the people's inaugural, and I'm proud of it. | ||
| In terms of this, you know, you gotta remember, we're talking about a Thursday in June. | ||
| This isn't, you know, October, November, and it's not March. | ||
| Didn't they play that Seinfeld show on Thursday? | ||
| It's Thursday in June. | ||
| People are down. | ||
| People are with friends. | ||
| They're out and about. | ||
| And then the people who have to work, have to put their nose to the grindstone to keep this country humming, are not going to go home and tune on Jimmy Raskin, Benny Thompson, and some whiny Apple police. | ||
| I want you two guys to go at it. | ||
| Hang on, but I'm going to lose Beattie here. | ||
| Darren, I want to go back to Revolver tonight. | ||
| That's a must-watch site for all the War Room Posse. | ||
| What are people going to see? | ||
| What should they go to? | ||
| How do you get them up to speed if they decide to watch? | ||
| Because some of the Posse is definitely going to watch. | ||
| They're going to watch and see what these guys have. | ||
| Later tonight, starting at 8 o'clock, we're going to have up on the site the classic reading list. | ||
| This is the reading list not only for the audience who wants to catch up on things, maybe they haven't read all of them, maybe they need to read again because these reports are incredibly detailed, but these are also especially for people's friends and family members who are talking about it, if they're talking about it, and say, Take the Revolver Challenge. | ||
| Read this. | ||
| Don't take my word for it. | ||
| Read it and watch the videos and look me straight in the eye and tell me that the Feds didn't pull this off. | ||
| It's impossible to do. | ||
| Nobody can take the Revolver Challenge and look you in the eye and say, no, the Feds didn't play an essential role in here. | ||
| It's Ray Epps, it's the Scaffold Commander, it's all of those guys. | ||
| The video speaks for itself. | ||
| We do have some loose ends, but I guarantee you we're going to tie those up in the course of the next couple months. | ||
| I've even offered people a pillow discount to take the Revolver Challenge. | ||
| If you bunch them up, I'm going to put them on my getter. | ||
| I want my getter followers to do the Revolver Challenge. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| The articles are amazing. | ||
| The articles are amazing. | ||
| How do people give you coordinates? | ||
| How do people find you tonight, particularly as this thing goes? | ||
| Go to revolver.news, especially tonight at 8 o'clock. | ||
| Everything you need to read will be up there. | ||
| I'll send it to you, Steve. | ||
| I'm on Twitter at Darren J. Beattie. | ||
| I have a little clip right now of an individual called Ray Epps. | ||
| We made a nice little clip. | ||
| It's starting to go viral, so check that out on Twitter. | ||
| You deserve to know what the government's been doing to you. | ||
| And even though it might seem boring, it's truly essential, because as I've said elsewhere and here, All of our politics is going to be fake and performative unless we bring the national security state to heel. | ||
| And that's exactly what's happening here. | ||
| So everyone needs to stay vigilant and informed. | ||
| To bring the national security state to heel, the first thing you would do is start a major deconstruction of the FBI and then rebuild it back. | ||
| Darren Beattie, would that be your recommendation to Congressman Gates? | ||
| You know, that would be a start, but it's much bigger than just the FBI. | ||
| In fact, the DHS might be an even bigger deal than the FBI, and we're going to learn that more and more. | ||
| And just incidentally, who's the DHS's main stooge in Congress? | ||
| None other than Benny Thompson, who also chairs the Homeland Security Committee. | ||
| So there are a lot of very, very dark connections to be exposed. | ||
| Darren Beatty, we'll be all over you tonight on your social media. | ||
| Okay, quick break. | ||
| Congressman Gates, Boris Epstein. | ||
| We're going to walk through what's going to happen tonight, next, in The War Room. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| With Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, it's Father's Day. | ||
| Here's what you've got to be thinking about. | ||
| Slippers. | ||
| Slippers are normally $139. | ||
| Now $49. | ||
| Best slipper ever made. | ||
| Standard equipment here in the war room above us at the Breitbart Embassy. | ||

| Promo code WORM. | ||
| MyPillow.com. | ||
| I'll have more to say about that later. | ||
| Okay, I got the two best pros. | ||
| The head of surrogates in 16, Boris Epstein. | ||
| Also been around President Trump since then. | ||
| Matt Gaetz, who is the tip of the spear. | ||
| A total firebrand and was one of the leading guys on both sets of impeachments and the Russia hoax. | ||
| I can definitely hurt people's feelings, but it won't be in my intent in this segment. | ||
| I want you to go first. | ||
| We pride ourselves on being over the other side of the hill and telling people, so give it your best. | ||
| You can't hurt anybody's feelings. | ||
| Give me the Matt Gaetz version of tonight what to think about. | ||
| I can definitely hurt people's feelings, but it won't be in my intent in this segment. | ||
| If we're wargaming this out and we're thinking about what we would do on the other side, it has to be more than just sort of a long narrative or a setup. | ||
| They have to create searing moments. | ||
| Go back to the last impeachment. | ||
| Remember the very first hearing before the Senate was supposed to be on some minor technical matter regarding jurisdiction and President Trump's lawyers prepared for a minor technical matter regarding jurisdiction and Jamie Raskin went out with this soaring oratory and this multimedia presentation They understand, totally. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| There was a change in Trump's lineup after that. | ||
| My mentor in the practice of law says you win or lose every case in the first two minutes. | ||
| And I believe the Democrats understand the importance of searing moments. | ||
| front-loading those, and frankly, what headlines they're going to get out of this. | ||
| They understand that this all is going to get aggregated up and slurped up by the media. | ||
| You know, I think that a highly edited presentation of testimony that came from the President's family members and the President's most senior staff members would constitute what I would try to build on the front end. | ||
| And Boris, I asked Liz Harrington whether or not the President would be demanding A full release of these videos in the event that there are out of context statements and things pieced together because we already know that Adam Schiff will lie and create evidence. | ||
| And I don't know that I got a yes or a no on that. | ||
| So I'd be curious if you were on the other side, Boris, would you design it the same way based on early searing moments? | ||
| Would you front load members of the President's family and his closest orbit? | ||
| And if that is what they do, Do you agree that the best antidote is to actually demand more release of the Committee Work product so we have more rounds in the chamber? | ||
| Congressman, great questions. | ||
| First, I also want to announce this just broke. | ||
| President Trump releasing a major ad. | ||
| A major ad, Steve, I just sent it to you and Cameron. | ||
| This is groundbreaking and it is an ad which states, Save America PAC. | ||
| Launches, quote unquote, another partisan witch hunt, AdBlitz. | ||
| Another partisan witch hunt. | ||
| The ad is on Rumble. | ||
| I just sent it to you, Steve. | ||
| Send it to Cameron. | ||
| We can put it up on the... | ||
| We'll put it up here on the screen whenever it's ready. | ||
| Counselor, to your question, if I had the sad, sad reality of being on the side of the Democrats here, I would undoubtedly front load. | ||
| Because this is the debut, right? | ||
| Tomorrow's day two, then you've got whatever. | ||
| Today's the only thing that matters. | ||
| If they cannot hook the American people today, no one's going to care even, people are going to care even less than they care now. | ||
| As the reporter from NBC told us, they care about gas prices much more than they care about this sham of a hearing. | ||
| But are they going to cut the family? | ||
| Look, Ivanka was 7 1⁄2 hours. | ||
| Jared was 8 1⁄2 hours. | ||
| That's how it's going to go, yeah. | ||
| You've got Jason Miller. | ||
| I know that. | ||
| You're a filibuster. | ||
| You've got Jason Miller. | ||
| You've got all these others. | ||
| The shortest filibuster in history. | ||
| Out of context. | ||
| I don't want to get you guys for a limited amount of time. | ||
| Out of context into trying to create four or five searing moments in the first hour. | ||
| You understand they're going to try to do that. | ||
| How do you respond, Boris Epstein? | ||
| I think that the right move would be to demand full transparency in terms of the tapes. | ||
| And then also, hey, if this committee misrepresents people's words, defames, or libels, you know, they're not beyond reproach. | ||
| They're not beyond reproach. | ||
| And I'm saying that in my private capacity. | ||
| Yeah, they are. | ||
| They have legislative immunity. | ||
| What do you mean by that, Boris? | ||
| They have legislative immunity, but the people who are doing the slicing and dicing, especially the contractors, are not beyond reproach. | ||
| Because they've hired all these producers, and I will bet you they're all consultants, And I think it's very much an open question of whether, you know, the consultant that buried the Jeffrey Epstein story and others, if they participate in defaming people in this undertaking. | ||
| Also, Congressman, the fact that this committee is not legally established, there's no ranking member, the process has not been followed. | ||
| I think it's an open question of whether by engaging in a blatantly political undertaking, even though it is in the halls of Congress, they're leaving themselves exposed To being taken to task for defaming not just the movement as a whole, but specific people and leaders of that movement. | ||
| I think we may have to serve that revenge dish a bit colder than Boris suggests, though I do not believe this committee is legally... I come in hot. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You do. | |
| That's why people love you in the war room. | ||
| But I think that the proper remedy is not going to be any type of legal action, because I think anybody involved with this committee, no matter how illegitimately established, will be able to claim apparent legislative immunity, even if through a contract. | ||
| The Democrats have crossed the Rubicon by subpoenaing members of Congress, and I think that is the total opportunity for us when we get back in control, is to delve into that. | ||
| I said today, earlier, you're the best guy that's both strategy and hardcore tactics. | ||
| The whole purpose of this exercise, there's an audience of one here and it ain't Donald Trump. | ||
| Who's the audience is for and how are they going to play that to this audience, you as a trial lawyer? | ||
| Democrats in Congress regularly lament their frustration with Merrick Garland for having not already indicted tens of millions of people who support Donald Trump. | ||
| I mean, I saw President Biden himself gaslight your indictment when he stepped off, when he was walking around outside the White House sort of demanding it. | ||
| And I think that they've got the January 6th committee wants to do to the entire movement what they saw Joe Biden do to you. | ||
| And they hope that that can be something that motivates Merrick Garland to use a very abusive prosecutorial process that would be political and unjustified. | ||
| But I mean, here, it's just sort of absurd to be having this conversation on the day of the hearings, on the day that the FBI went and arrested the leading Republican governor, gubernatorial candidate in Michigan. | ||
| I mean, do you think that, I mean, they have to know what they're doing. | ||
| You think they did that on purpose as the preamble to the show? | ||
| Why is this show happening? | ||
| The left has to convince you that there is a clear, present, and ongoing threat to the country. | ||
| Every day has to be January 6th to them. | ||
| And so to soften the ground for this hearing... Oh, I mean, the only question is whether or not the ABC producer that the committee hired was involved in the stagecraft for the actions of the FBI. | ||
| Boris, Boris, the whole thing of Garland, is this, in your opinion, is this all for an audience of one to try to not nudge him, but jam him in a corner? | ||
| Use this as a forcing exercise, right? | ||
| When we say, hey, you've got to have a forcing mechanism, right? | ||
| A forcing function to force somebody to do something. | ||
| Is that what this is to Merrick Garland and DOJ? | ||
| Because they understand they can't beat us this November, and they can't beat Trump. | ||
| So they've got to get Trump off the ballot. | ||
| The way they've got to do it, they've got to indict him. | ||
| Is this a forcing function for the Democrats? | ||
| I'm going to take this a little bit wider. | ||
| I think that if the Democrats were smart and had the strategy and tactics of a Matt Gaetz, yes. | ||
| But having dealt with them in the Russia hoax, Uh, on the House and the Senate side, I will tell you from personal experience that they're not that smart. | ||
| And they don't have that kind of forethought. | ||
| You don't think they're getting better? | ||
| You don't think they're like the North Korean missile program that we make fun of them and they fail and they fail and they fail but over time they become more capable at this? | ||
| It's much more refined now than when they first started. | ||
| I think in marginalia, they have gotten a bit better. | ||
| But I think in some ways, the presentation of the Russia hoax on Mueller was actually better than the first impeachment. | ||
| And the second impeachment was better than the first and Mueller, and I'll agree with you on that. | ||
| But again, around marginalia, the net effect of all of them. | ||
| If Mueller was a win for President Trump and MAGA, as we said this morning, then that effect of Mueller was good for President Trump and of both impeachments. | ||
| I think that they're doing this, yes, to pressure Garland, but also I think they're doing this as an old-fashioned bone to the base. | ||
| They have had the most disastrous—and this is not metaphor, this is not hyperbole—they have had the most disastrous term of any president in history. | ||
| James Buchanan is the happiest guy in the history of the world up there. | ||
| He's jumping around. | ||
| They've had the most disastrous tournament in American history. | ||
| And I think that they're trying to distract with this. | ||
| So I think it is a little bit of the DOJ part, but also I think it's a bone in the base. | ||
| Let's play the... Do we have the clip ready? | ||
| Can we go ahead and play the clip? | ||
| Let's play it. | ||

Our country is in trouble. | |
| Biden is failing. | ||
| Badly. | ||
| And yet the Democrat Congress ignores our problems, instead spending millions on another partisan witch hunt. | ||
| It's a disgrace. | ||
| Tell your congressman stop the partisan games and tackle our real problems. | ||
| Save America is responsible for the content of this advertising. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That ad was essentially Boris's, you know, oration from earlier in the program, and what I like about it is that it frames Democrats in Congress as selfish. | ||
| No one questions that they were traumatized on January 6th, but it looks like they're focusing on their trauma, and not the trauma that the American people are feeling every day. | ||
| Voters elect people who they believe will win their battles for them. | ||
| And right now, it doesn't even look like the Democrats are fighting the battles that matter to the voters that are dispositive in these elections. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Boris, what was the thinking behind this? | ||
| Why did this get made and why is it put out today? | ||
| Well, I mean, the reason that it lined up with what I have to say, there's just a small chance, small, tiny chance that I may have seen it coming. | ||
| The thing is clear, that President Trump Delivered the best economy and the strongest national security in the history of this country. | ||
| And that's what you have there. | ||
| Save America. | ||
| President Trump saved America and salutes America. | ||
| And then you have what the Democrats are doing, which is engaging in nonsense and a charade which costs taxpayers money, which takes away focus from the issues we actually need resolved. | ||
| And again, this all goes in the same bucket as the Mueller hoax and the first two impeachments. | ||
| The bottom line, the bottom line, is that Democrats do not care to make anyone's life better in this country but their own, to continue getting re-elected, to continue to grift. | ||
| President Trump and MAGA are fighting for America, and that's a very clear contrast. | ||
| That ad underscores it. | ||
| A lot of the people have said, and not a lot, some have said you shouldn't deal with this at all tonight because it's showing their selfishness, etc. | ||
| Others have said, hey, you've got to have a rapper response. | ||
| On that part of it, it seems to me that you came down a little more on, hey, we ought to be there to challenge every smear and every time they try to trash Trump. | ||
| I see the way these things build on each other, and I see how the introduction of evidence unchallenged in a congressional committee can manifest to keep President Trump or one of his congressional allies off the ballot in some place. | ||
| And because we know there's such a propensity for them to manipulate evidence, cast it out of context, I do believe that there should be a robust response here, and I think it's got to be, you know, on parallel tracks. | ||
| I think that ad makes a great argument. | ||
| I think, just like Boris framed it up earlier in the show, but I would not let them sit there and lie about me. | ||
| And I think that's what they're going to do to President Trump. | ||
| Okay, here's what we're going to do. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| We've got a clip from you. | ||
| I also want to ask both you guys, when we get back, we've got Elise Stefanik at the top of the hour, and I want to talk about where we are in this campaign, right? | ||
| Because this is all about trying to chop block Trump for 24, but we've got 22 right in front of us. | ||
| More historically bad numbers for Biden last night. | ||
| Amazing number for Quinnipiac on Hispanic. | ||
| We're up three on Congressional. | ||

|
Up three. | |
| We're down 40, leading in 18. | ||
| A real opportunity to take apart the Democratic Party if we keep our eye on the prize. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We've got a little clip from Congressman Gates we're going to play in the back. | ||
| We've got Boris Epstein. | ||
| Top of the hour. | ||
| Elise Stefanik. | ||
| We'll have her for an entire half hour, I think. | ||
| I want everybody to hang in there. | ||
| We're going to go through it all today and get you ready for tonight. | ||
| If you're so inclined, maybe you're going to watch Turner Classic Movies. | ||

| Democrats were so worried about violence, they wouldn't open the borders, open the prisons, and then disarm law-abiding Americans who want to protect themselves and protect their families. | ||
| Chairman Nadler says that Republicans shouldn't lecture about constitutional rights, but it was the last Democrat speaker, Mr. Cicilline, who in the House Judiciary Committee said, spare me the bullshit about people's constitutional rights, so pardon us. | ||
| For standing up for the Constitution and the very due process that ensures that we're able to have a civil functioning society in this country. | ||
| Speaker Pelosi asks the question, well if you knew when the next act of violence would be why wouldn't you want to stop it? | ||
| What is this, the United States Congress or the plot for the movie Minority Report? | ||
| The best you could ever hope to have in terms of warning is what we had in the Parkland case, where a neighbor saw Nicholas Cruz preparing for a school shooting, called the FBI, and because they were so focused on the bureaucracy, they didn't take action. | ||
| And so that's why I'm against federalizing the regular police, and it's why I'm against federalizing the school police, because the more the FBI was involved, the more they botched the case, Maybe there were people dead who didn't need to be. | ||
| These red flag laws violate our Second Amendment rights, our Fifth Amendment rights, and when they are done at the national level, they violate our Tenth Amendment rights. | ||
| And it is crazy that we are considering legislation to bribe the states to take rights away from our fellow Americans. | ||
| And it's nuts that Republicans in the Senate, the very Republicans who say they're the classic liberty-minded conservatives, they're now working with Democrats on this very endeavor To federalize the school police and to engage in this bribery for the sake of deprivation of rights. | ||
| Let me give you this warning, my friends. | ||
| It is no victory, as Mr. Carbajal said, that in my beloved Florida, we've used red flag laws 8,000 times. | ||
| There weren't 8,000 school shooters we stopped, probably not even 8,000 criminals. | ||
| What we do see is that these red flag laws are used in divorce proceedings, they're used in every type of dispute, and it shouldn't be a cudgel that way. | ||
|

|
We'll stand up for the rights of this no-bullshit that we will. | |
| Is this committee tonight to take away from the burning issues in this country, the economy, the invasion of the southern border, this thing where they're trying to take our guns away? | ||
| Oh, they're very serious about passing red flag laws, and there are Republican senators ready to vote to encourage states to engage in these red flag laws. | ||
| And this is all connected. | ||
| Demonizing everyone who's MAGA or America First as a domestic extremist and then passing the red flag law. | ||
| So this isn't a one-off distraction. | ||
| This is part of the vectors of attack. | ||
| And that's what they're trying to do. | ||
| And that's the moments, the searing moments they're going to try to show tonight. | ||
| The Proud Boys and these domestic extremists. | ||
| That's really the MAGA. | ||
| That's the guys going through the precinct strategy. | ||
| That's the guys going to have red flag laws on. | ||
| I don't know that there are enough Proud Boys to fit in a stretch limousine anymore in the United States of America, but they're going to act like they're Al Qaeda tonight. | ||
| And the problem is, as Dr. Beatty often warns us, this inward turning of these exquisite national security strategies against our people. | ||
| We talk a lot about FISA and how that tool's been used by the national security state against our people. | ||
| How many people do you think have the ability to go in the portal and look at the information extracted from FISA? | ||
| How many? | ||
| Should be very few. | ||
| As many as 10,000! | ||
| 10,000 people! | ||
| So, I mean, all of that coming together, the weaponizing of big data against our fellow Americans. | ||
| Boris, tonight, I got Lee Stefanik next. | ||
| You guys have been terrific. | ||
| Tonight, what should we look for? | ||
| How do you break this down? | ||
| Should this audience pay attention, or should they focus on the important stuff? | ||
| The convergence of this claim of domestic extremism, the precinct strategy, Both. | ||

You have to keep an eye on what's happening, right? | |
| We can't just put our head in the sand. | ||
| Gotta keep an eye on what's happening. | ||
| Look out for any, you know, big surprises. | ||
| And, you know, I'm sure on Getter, on Truth, for those on Twitter, on Twitter, you know, the information will come through that way. | ||
| I don't think you need to watch the whole thing. | ||
| I think it's actually, you know, pretty boring. | ||
| But do not take your eyes off what matters, which is saving our country. | ||
| 100 seats, 100 years in November of 2022, and President Trump, as we hope and expect, winning the White House in 2024 and walking back into the Oval Office at the latest on January 20, 2025. | ||
| This is all a distraction by the Democrats, as Congressman Gates laid out so eloquently. | ||
| They are trying to fool you and trying to play this rope-a-dope, but we will not be fooled. | ||
| The American people, the American public, the War Room Posse, the MAGA movement, under the leadership of President Trump, as that ad shows, we know what matters and we're fighting for what matters. | ||
| Never be distracted. | ||
| Keep fighting. | ||
| Uh, you don't look like, are you going to do TV tonight? | ||
| What are you going to do tonight? | ||
| tonight had a people follow you at arab back gates and at mac gates on both getter and twitter and also on truth and you know that the big tell was you michelle cinder in the cold open we played for the show tonight saying the american people are too distracted higher gas prices higher grocery bills inflation to focus on the real core issue and that is the trauma of you michelle cinder and everyone else that was in the capital on january sixth that add the president's | ||
| put out was brilliant it's gonna make the democrats look selfish the reason i won't sleep well until we're through this cycle Jim Jordan, myself, Elise, we're not on the committee. | ||
| We don't have the opportunity to create our own searing moments. | ||
| We were always willing to bet on ourselves when we had a chair and a microphone in the room, and that's what the Democrats truly feared, that we would be there to expose them. | ||
