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.
unidentified
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
War Room Battleground.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
joe biden ▲ ● ▼
I had an uncle who used to say, Joey, you're labor from belt buckle to shoe sole.
Well, he's labor from forehead to the tip of his toes.
He used to run the laborers out of the union.
Look, folks, today I'd like to speak about my top economic priority, fighting inflation.
I understand Americans are anxious, and they're anxious for good reason.
I was raised in a household when the price of gasoline rose precipitously.
It was the discussion at the table.
It made a difference when food prices went up.
But we've never seen anything like Putin's tax on both food and gas.
America should also understand our economy has unique strengths that we can build on.
The job market is the strongest it's been since World War II, notwithstanding the inflation.
We added another 390,000 jobs last month.
8,700,000 new jobs since I took office.
An all-time record.
Never that many jobs in that period of time.
Unemployment rate is near historic lows.
Millions of Americans are moving up to better jobs and better pay.
And since I took office, families are carrying less debt on average in America.
They have more savings than they've had.
And we're doing it all while cutting the federal deficit by $1.7 trillion this year, and $320 billion last.
If I hear one of my MAGA friends once again talk about debt and deficits, I'm gonna be good.
They increased the deficit by two trillion bucks.
Anyway, that's another story.
But look, this is the largest decline in American history.
Because of the progress, America can tackle inflation from a position of strength unlike any other country in the world.
Because every country in the world is getting a big bite and piece of this inflation.
Worse than we are in the vast majority of countries around the world.
But make no mistake about it.
I understand inflation is a real challenge to American families.
Today's inflation report confirmed what America's already know.
Putin's price hike is hitting America hard.
Gas prices at the pump.
Energy and food prices account for half of the monthly price increases since May.
Inflation outside of energy and food, what the economists call core inflation, moderated the last two months.
Not enough, but it moderated.
It's come down.
And we need it to come down much more quickly.
My administration is going to continue everything we can to lower the prices to the American people, and the Congress has to act, and they have been lately.
I've worked with a lot of honorable Republicans, very conservative Republicans over the years when I was a senator.
But this is the MAGA gang.
This is the MAGA crowd.
I really mean it.
They have a fundamentally different view of the role of government and who should pay what.
unidentified
Well, they hate fossil fuels.
And a lot of the numbers, I think Brian's really good, but a lot of the numbers he talked about are not true.
I mean, we're not producing as much as we did under President Trump.
The idea that it's the Europeans that are causing natural gas to go up a lot isn't true.
We just were unprepared for this particular moment and don't have enough pipelines.
Look, they hate fossil fuels.
They don't want to go to the Permian and be seen with Scott Sheffield from Pioneer.
They just don't want to do it.
They think it's a really bad thing for the election.
They're a little backward.
If they made a deal with the so-called devil to be able to move the forward curve to say, guys, you've got to start producing much, much more, oil would drop.
They'd work with refiners to try to figure out how to get more production.
But, David, these are dirty companies.
And it's better to not be seen with them.
They are making efforts, obviously, to reduce their carbon footprints.
All the majors have the ambition of being carbon neutral.
Did you ever hear Biden say that?
Scope 1 and 2, by the way.
Have you heard Biden say, you know what, they're doing things and I want to break bread with them.
Have you heard him say that?
No.
No.
No, it's like they're doing nothing.
It's like the little companies from the 70s.
He is not in touch with business.
There should be a more robust dialogue.
I don't know to what extent there is.
Deese referred to it.
I don't know.
But you certainly could imagine a more robust dialogue around all of these issues.
Maybe it was more unionized.
They don't consider them a partner to a certain extent or a trusted partner in the energy transition.
Is it better to go to Saudi Arabia?
No it isn't.
But at the same time we do have this Saudi Arabia and not Permian.
So the Saudis are better friends of the United States than Western Texas.
deal with the devil every year.
Saudi Arabia not permit. So the Saudis are better friends the United States than Western Texas.
Alright fine.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
This is almost too exquisite.
You've got the pom-poms of Jim Cramer.
That's all the progressives and liberals.
That's the Wall Street crowd right there.
They've had the pom-poms out from day one.
That scumbag.
Just being a scumbag is not the problem.
Being an idiot in a scumbag is a problem.
Remember, he was cheerleading.
He had the pom-poms out.
The greatest economy of his time.
And yes, that's what we have.
Our economy is in meltdown.
Everything Joe Biden said is a lie right there.
Total meltdown.
And you've got Russia with the oil and gas on fire.
You've got Saudi Arabia just had 9% growth.
We're going to have, the Atlanta Fed has already said they think this quarter could be even slightly down.
That means for the first half of the year, the first six months of 2022, we're going to have negative growth.
That feels like a recession to me.
Yet, Venezuela, we're on bended knee to Venezuela, we're on bended knees, he's flying over to Saudi Arabia!
They're gonna go to Saudi Arabia and Kowtow!
To get him to pump more.
And Jim, when Jim Cramer calls him out as a liar twice in one dialogue, here's what we have to do in Memphis, can you just please, uh, I wanna, I wanna bifurcate and get the, later, I wanna have that Cramer thing, cause I'm gonna play it at the bottom of the hour too.
It's too good.
It's too good.
It's all coming unraveled for him.
And for Joe Biden, since he addresses us as his MAGA friends, because we're the only ones who are on the deficit and the debt.
Joe, once again, the whole thing in employment and the debt and the deficit, it's all a lie.
We came out of a crash in aggregate demand.
It's what we talked about this show on January 20th of 2020 when we started this show.
You're going to have this collapse of aggregate demand.
Just coming back with that aggregate demand and what we did to do that, the stimulus we had to do to do that, both the Trump administration and yours 1.9, once that stopped, that stopped those deficits.
So you didn't, you haven't changed anything.
You gave us a deficit this year of $1.5 trillion.
Don't sit there and lie or somebody please explain the math to him.
Also the jobs, that's just a natural comeback from the lockdowns.
You've created nothing.
The core economy itself is DOA.
This is the essence of the problem.
And quite frankly, this is all the American people care about.
This is why the consumer all time historical low in consumer confidence.
And if you don't think that's going to roll through to unemployment, you stand by, baby.
We've been dead right on this for the last year about exactly where this economy is going.
And I'm telling you, the unemployment is going to get filthy.
He's going to come back with a massive stimulus package.
It's all coming.
It's all coming.
The Fed's going to get jiggy here.
They're not going to do the quantitative tightening they need to do.
They're going to keep pumping cash into this.
So we're in what's called a vicious cycle, not a virtuous cycle.
I want to go to Congressman Andy Biggs.
He's got a ringside seat for this.
He's one of the Freedom Caucus guys, one of the toughest guys in the House.
Congressman, given last night the dog and pony show, then this morning the reality check on the numbers, right, the reality check on the numbers, and then throughout the day just one more bad poll Only Quinnipiac, which is not Trafalgar, not a right-wing group, they come out and say, hey, only 22% of young people support him, approve him.
Only 28% of Hispanics, only 33% of all Americans and independent voters, I think it's 26 or 27%.
Congressman Biggs, where are we in this entire mess?
andy biggs ▲ ● ▼
Well, we're in a real meltdown, right?
I mean, you guys have done a great job talking about the economic meltdown that we're in and the misdirection of Biden and company.
I mean, they're just lying.
So they changed the bundle of goods that you check, so it appears like you only have 8.6% inflation, but in reality, in Arizona, you go back to the original basket that you had 40 years ago, and we'd be sitting at about 15-17% inflation.
You start looking at the unemployment numbers, they fiddled with how they calculated.
Calculate unemployment under Obama.
They don't count the people who aren't looking, the people who are underemployed.
There are a lot of jobs out there that are wide open, but the incentives are there.
It's a horrible mess on the economy.
It's a horrible mess on the border.
And you know what?
In America, he's got like a 32% approval rating.
Biden does.
If you go to Mexico, it's a 52% approval ranking.
And if you go talk to people on the border like I do, who are sneaking into the country, surrendering, it's almost a 90% approval.
Why?
Because he's going to give them whatever they want.
We are in the middle of the most serious existential crisis of the United States in history.
In the meantime, they're taking away guns.
That's their, that's their, uh, what they're trying to do.
They're allowing, uh, uh, people to protest in front of Supreme Court justices' homes to try to intimidate them.
Uh, you know, you actually have, uh, the, the infrastructure is there now for a massive amount of unrest, uh, fomented by the rhetoric, the hateful rhetoric of the left and particularly this president who should be serving ice cream up apparently in a, In an ice cream shop instead of talking about economics or anything else on the national or international stage.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Congressman Biggs, I think it's real clear politics that has the map up today off the Cook Report.
It's got 180 seats for the Democrats, 223 seats I think already, maybe even 232 for the Republicans, with another 32 that are up jump balls, but most of those are leaning Republicans now, because you could have 250, 260.
Also, the Senate looks like it could flip.
Given the math, and it gets worse every day for the Democrats, In desperation, and you're seeing this a lot in this dog and pony show of Liz Cheney and Benny Thompson, where they're pleading with Merrick Garland, they're pleading with Merrick Garland to basically indict Trump, because they understand it's the only thing that's going to save him.
How desperate are they going to get as it becomes more and more obvious that you're going to have not just a win in a tsunami, but literally could destroy the Democratic Party as a national political institution?
What do you anticipate or what do you think our audience should be anticipating that the Democrats could try to do?
andy biggs ▲ ● ▼
Well, I think there's going to be two things.
There's going to be a political response, and you're seeing that with the J6 committee.
You're going to see it where they try to get somebody in Congress to do a perp walk.
Maybe it's me.
Maybe it's Jim.
That's what they want.
They're going to try to do that because they think that that's going to work.
That will actually undermine them even more, in my opinion.
But that's one thing.
They're going to get really outlandish and use the authoritarian card on members of Congress because they don't care about the institution.
They don't care about people ever because they're authoritarians.
On the other hand, they're going to try to put pedal to the metal with every crappy socialist idea they have because they know that their utopian society is not going to come to fruition, but they're going to try to make it really difficult for us to peel it back when we do get control.
That's what's going on.
Those two areas, Steve, the political side and the legalistic side.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
It's so outrageous what they're doing to you, Congressman.
What's the plan?
You've got yourself, you've got the minority leader, you've got Jim Jordan.
What's your guy's plan right now, or can you disclose that?
andy biggs ▲ ● ▼
Well, I don't want to disclose all of it, but the reality is, how can you go in there when even last night we watched that they had doctored videotapes They deleted the tweet from their one star witness last night, the left-wing documentarian, where he talks about people were let in, doors were left open, there was only one Capitol Police on duty.
They deleted that.
So how can you go sit in front of an illegitimate star chamber because they want to get you in a perjury trap or they want to get you in a contempt trap?
I can't disclose all of the strategy, but I can tell you, these guys, for them, they are worse than any Machiavellian you've ever met.
For them, this truly is Hitlerian in some ways, in the sense that they would say that the ends justify any means.
And that's where they sit today.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Give us, I had Rodney Davis on, Congressman Illinois 13 on the morning show, and because he sent out something last night and then reached out to Dave Bossie to come on War Room, but he said, hey, he's ranking member on administration.
He said he was given a brief on Intelligence Day before, totally wrong, right?
He said there's so many problems that Pelosi's had driven by her that he's announced, I'm starting an investigation and hearings like the 3rd of January, 4th of January, the first day After you guys were sworn in, he says, hey, I'm gaveling in and we're rolling.
And I'm going to get to the bottom of all of it.
What sense, you're a player in the Freedom Caucus, what sense do you have in the new Congress?
How can MAGA feel confident that you guys are going to be the tip of the spear and we're going to start setting things right?
We're just not going to play the normal nicey-nice.
Since these guys have no respect for the institution, they're lawless, what they try to do to you guys is outrageous.
So where do you think this takes us in January 2023?
andy biggs ▲ ● ▼
Well, I think Jim will likely be the chair.
Jim Jordan will likely be the chair of the judiciary.
I think we're going to open up immediately with hearings there.
We're going to open up in, I'm on oversight committee as well.
We're going to open up in those committees as well.
And you have got to start, I mean, there's so much that they have done wrong.
And basically they've taken the pendulum, they've destroyed, they've tried to destroy the institution.
They've slandered and defamed people, but more than that, they've engaged in criminal conduct, I think.
I think.
We've got to get to the bottom of that.
So investigations have to be opened up in both those committees.
And let's just face it, those two committees are the ones that are geared and designed to fight the fight.
And I'm hoping that on the first day that we're in session, That we open up an impeachment committee hearing on Alejandro Mayorkas.
I would suggest to you that failure to demand prosecution of somebody, of all these protesters who are in violation of law.
We've seen Merrick Garland is basically abrogated his duty.
And then of course Joe Biden has just probably, you know, really done impeachable conduct.
Uh, high crimes and misdemeanor.
So this is where I think the tip of the spear is going to be through those two committees, oversight and judiciary.
And it's going to, they're going to be very active committees.
I hope to be continue on both those committees.
And I will tell you, we will be really busy investigating this administration and, and the minions of Joe Biden, uh, who are driving this country off the edge as fast as they possibly can.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Last question about the invasion of the southern border.
What can the Republican Congress coming in in January, the new Congress, what can you guys do to both stop this invasion in its tracks and start to reverse it?
andy biggs ▲ ● ▼
I would give several suggestions that we ought to be doing now.
We need to be working with the states and I've called for states to basically treat this as the invasion it is in Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution and start Um, sending people home, right?
Under state law, make the federal government come in.
Um, the second thing is, if the DOJ is not going to facilitate, um, and Department of Homeland Security is not going to facilitate Border Patrol and ICE in carrying out their lawful duties, we need to find areas that the President wants funding for, deny funding for those, and inspire him to start Uh, allowing the enforcement of the laws that we have in place.
That alone would, within a very short order, promote disincentivization.
In other words, you would disincentivize the cartels and people from coming over.
And that has to be done.
I think we could start doing that now.
I'm tired of missing leverage points against this administration.
And that we've got to use every leverage point, every rule, and stick together.
And that's how we do it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Congressman, how do people get to you on social media?
How do they find out more about you?
andy biggs ▲ ● ▼
I knew you were going to ask me.
I never know, but I know today, Steve.
It's Twitter, at Rep.
Andy Biggs AZ.
Truth, at Rep.
Andy Biggs AZ.
Instagram, at Rep.
Andy Biggs.
Facebook, Congressman Andy Biggs.
Or you can follow me, just go to www.biggs.house.gov.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Congressman Biggs, from Arizona 5, thank you very much.
Appreciate having you on.
andy biggs ▲ ● ▼
Thanks, Steve.
Take care.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, in order to get there, to get to that Congress, we've got to have a full participation by the Army of the Awakened.
One of the most important things we've got.
We're going to have Dan Schultz on here in a minute.
I want to get to Jim Marchant, who is running for Secretary of State in the great state of Nevada.
Also, he's organized this alliance.
of like-minded secretaries of state, which people are melting down on.
There's articles every other day about how Jim Marchand is a bad guy and how Jim Marchand is bringing a bunch of fascist and anti-democratic forces to bear to basically flip elections to Trumpist starting this fall and into the future.
Jim, walk us through the truth.
Walk us through the truth about your race in Nevada, what you specifically have done personally by getting machines out of certain counties, and then I want to pull the camera back and talk about the alliance that you've put together and where do we really stand.
I just was so honored to have Audrey on the other day, the candidate for New Mexico, and to see the young talent.
You know, not everybody's a Mark Fincham or Jim Marchand, right?
It's not just all old white, tough white guys.
I got Caramo in Michigan.
I got Torillo in New Mexico.
I got some incredible talent coming up that you're doing.
Tell us about your race first.
What are the issues?
And then I want to talk about the Alliance.
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Well, they are pulling out the stops.
And this is not only Democrats.
It's Republicans also.
They are flat out lying about everything that I'm doing.
They say that I'm a former Democrat.
I have never been a Democrat.
They say that I haven't voted in some elections.
I haven't missed an election since 1974.
They say I put children in danger.
I'm the devil, and it's absolutely not true.
And that's the problem.
They're projecting, because that's what they are.
My opponent that put all this stuff out is a Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney acolyte, and they know how to sling mud, and that's exactly what they're doing.
And I don't do that, but I have to take every opportunity to get the word out that what these people are doing are lying, and it all comes from the source.
Groups like Guardian UK and Business Insider, you know the media that controls them, and they're melting down right now.
I get calls almost every hour from AP, Politico, New York Times, MSNBC.
They call me constantly.
And I stopped talking to them a while ago, because I said all that I could say to them.
So, they're melting down, and I just want everybody that's listening to this, and you have a lot of fans out here in Nevada, and I want them to know that all of these things that are coming out, they're mailers, they're TV ads, all kind of stuff, robocalls, all basically calling me the devil, and every one of them are lies, flat-out lies.
So, don't believe it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Let me, before I go on to the alliance and the bigger picture, why does the establishment Republicans not want patriots in there?
They're going to make sure that we have free and fair elections and don't have what was done in 2020.
What's their beef with you?
I know they're coming after you personally, because that's how they got to try to destroy you, because that's the politics of personal destruction they play.
But what is their beef about what Jim Marchand actually stands for?
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Well, they know that I'm going to ensure that we have a fair election and that the people's voice here in Nevada is actually heard.
We haven't elected anybody since, you know, a long time.
I go back to 2006.
But because the Uniparty has selected everybody that has served in office here in Nevada, I believe, since then.
So if I get in, the people are finally going to have a voice.
And that's what they're scared of.
It's to power people.
And these are Republicans.
These are establishment Republicans that are working with the Democrats to maintain their power and their stronghold on Nevada so that the people here in Nevada do not have a voice.
And I'm not putting up with it.
I've been fighting this for years and years.
And if they think this is going to take me down, they got another thing coming.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Walk us through what you've put together on a nationwide basis.
I know President Trump is so appreciative of putting this.
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Right, yeah, we've got a nationwide coalition that you know about, and thank you for all your help with that, and Boris Epstein and others, David Bossie is very aware of it, and we have formed an alliance where we have over 20 mega America First candidates, not only Secretary of State, But governors and congressmen and other school board people, I mean, everybody has called me and said, we want to join your coalition because they know what we're doing.
And so that's exactly what we're doing.
We've got a new website called SOS for America.
It's sos4america.com.
And that's the website to go to.
And we need as much donations to go to that as possible.
Because we are behind the eight ball when it comes to funding from the Uniparty, the establishment, the globalists.
They are funding all of our enemies, and they're actually prevailing.
I was way ahead in the polls here in Nevada, and now I'm starting to lose that a little bit.
But I still think we're going to prevail here, but it's going to be close.
And it's a shame that we have to fight all the lies and the mudslinging and But that's just the way it is in politics.
You know it as good as anybody.
But we're going to keep prevailing.
We're going to keep fighting.
And hopefully we will prevail.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Jim, one more time.
How do people find out more about you?
How do they find out more about your campaign?
And how do they find out about the Alliance?
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, jimmarshott.com is my personal campaign address.
J-I-M-M-A-R-C-H-A-N-T dot com.
And then SOS.
The number four, America.com.
Go to that website, help us out as much as we can, because we need it.
That's going to fund all of these great MAGA candidates across the country, and please help.
We need it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Jim Marchant, fight on.
Look forward to seeing how this thing plays out.
Look forward to having you back on.
You've got a lot of fans here in the War Room.
jim marchant ▲ ● ▼
Great.
Thank you, Steve, and thank you for all your support.
It's very, very important to us saving our country.
Thank you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Thank you, brother.
I want to thank all of the War Room posse out there in Nevada.
Make sure you've got to turn up.
You've got to put your shoulder to the wheel here.
Nevada is a MAGA state.
We've got to get it sorted out there.
Okay, we're going to take a short break.
The guy that the media considers an even bigger devil than myself.
Dan Schultz.
He's the one that conceived of the Precinct Strategy.
He's the one who's been grinding on it.
Now he's a kind of a national media figure, as though left-wing media has gone after him tooth and nail.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
When we return, we've got Dan Schultz of the Precinct Strategy, the Army of the Awakened.
That's what we're putting together here.
And of course, the left hates it more than anything.
Short commercial break.
We'll be back in War Room Battleground in just a moment.
unidentified
War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon.
Okay.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, welcome back.
I want to go to the railhead of all the consternation for the Army of the Awakened.
That would be Dan Schultz.
Dan, you know, I had this article out about me was American Rasputin.
There's been a bunch of articles from that.
You know, I'm the evil genius.
Of course, I'm just drafting off you.
But then the news coverage.
Here's the interesting thing about the news coverage.
They're completely freaked out.
They call us these anti-democratic fascist forces.
But everything they start talking about, they say, well, he's getting people on this precinct strategy and they're actually going inside to be precinct men in the Republican Party.
Or they're going to go be poll workers or poll watchers or election officials or canvassing boards or school boards.
And they get all lathered up.
Dan, the first time I met you, you told me essentially what you did is write a book and put together a concept that was a throwback to I think it was 6th or 7th grade civics that you took when you were a young man before you went to West Point.
Why are they so worked up on American working class men and women just coming to the forefront and starting to take their party back but also starting to take back the entire election apparatus?
unidentified
Well, you've asked me that question before, and I think what I said then was, they don't like we, the people.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
You know, they like to refer to themselves when they get elected as leaders.
We're the United States of America.
We don't elect leaders.
We elect public servants.
Those people that we elect are supposed to serve us, and we're supposed to make sure before we elect them that they're the kind of people that will serve us like Unfortunately, we're electing, you know, the people that are the worst kind of people.
And, you know, I like that Plato quote about, you know, if you don't involve yourself in politics, you end up getting governed by your inferiors.
unidentified
And that's what we have right now.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
For too long, not enough of we, the people, have been even voting in the primaries.
I looked at the results Just the recent ones.
Iowa, 70% didn't vote in that primary for Chuck Grassley.
70% of Iowa Republicans didn't vote.
Over 67% didn't vote in the primary for the U.S.
Senate, the Republican U.S.
Senate.
Over 80% of eligible voters in Ohio didn't vote.
And then I saw trending today on Twitter, Vote Republican.
That's what we need to do, people.
We need to vote, vote, vote, if you're a Republican.
But then the other thing that you need to do is engage.
You know the phrase, action, action, action.
unidentified
Just casting a vote isn't enough these days.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
Get off your rear end.
It's not hard to do.
unidentified
Go to my site, PrecinctStrategy.com.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
Learn how to become An active member of your local Republican committee.
It's not hard to do.
And as you said, I learned all of this in seventh grade civics.
It's just participating.
We've got a and I like that over the last few days, you've been using that term participatory democracy.
That's what we have.
The problem is not enough.
Conservatives are participating yet.
But we're starting to change that, and then you saw what happened yesterday in Otero County in New Mexico.
Enough people got involved being led by Professor David Clements, who used to be a county chair in New Mexico back in 2012.
He went to the National Convention in 2012 as a county chairman.
he's been involved in politics and he's been encouraging people to get involved and they packed those rooms, the meeting rooms of the County Board of Supervisors and convinced them that you're letting us down if you move forward with the Dominion machine.
That could be happening all across the country, but it takes a little bit of participation beyond just voting and that's my message.
And that's why they're afraid of us.
They're afraid we're gonna do that.
The left is afraid conservatives are going to do it.
And I applaud Cleeta Mitchell for what she's heading up.
We've got to make sure moving forward that unlike, it can't be like it was in 2020 down in Tucson where I worked as a poll watcher.
We were lucky if we had one or two at each polling place.
that democrats at five at minimum any only like we were lucky if we have water to perhaps the day i was down there uh... supervising a whole bunch of them this time we've got to make sure we've got five republicans just like the democrats at five everywhere and it it what what what what what what what what what what what what what what what is the other thank you know what they were talking about the clinton mitchell hang on to declare a mitchell was the uh...
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
is she's running these around the country uh... these uh... workshops in fact uh... i want to get up uh... right now there's a and captain bennett put into all the sites uh... all the chat rooms we've got uh...
Um...
We've got, tomorrow it's going to be in Raleigh, North Carolina.
They're having this seminar.
These are workshops.
You're not going to sit there and hear war stories.
These are hands-on workshops.
Dan, hang on for one second.
I want to bring in Colonel Sean Smith.
You mentioned what happened in New Mexico with the great Dave Clements, and one of it happened up under Jim Marchant up in Nevada, where people actually show up in these counties and they start having these votes and say, look, we want the machines out.
We want to go to We want to go to hand ballots.
We want to go to paper ballots and hand counts.
Let's bring in Colonel Sean Smith now.
Colonel, you've given a, I don't know if it's a deposition or a piece of analysis, given your expertise to back up the The Fincham-Carrie Lake lawsuit in looking for an injunction about the machines itself.
Can you take a couple of minutes and walk through, not just your expertise, but what specifically are you saying about the machines that to lead the judge to say, hey, I'm not worried about 2020, but going forward, I want to take these machines out.
Can you walk us through that?
unidentified
Sure.
Steve, my expertise really is, I'm not so much a cyber professional as I am an expert in the testing of complex systems.
In the course of doing that testing and my responsibilities with the Office of Secretary of Defense and the Director of Operational Test Evaluation, I looked at hundreds of test plans.
I was responsible to direct oversight for testing for systems like Global Positioning System.
I understand the threat.
I've done adversarial analysis and seen what was being taken using cyber attacks from our defense industry, our national organizations, our government.
all economic sectors. So I have an idea of what that threat looks like. And when I started looking at voting systems, I could tell that those people either don't care or they don't know what that threat looks like because the testing is completely inadequate to have any hope whatsoever of detecting supply chain attacks and compromises. So the declaration for the late case kind of lays out that case. It documents the overseas foreign manufacturing origin of the computer system used
in our voting systems and the components used in them and the fact that they have no supply chain security. And all the people who are telling us these systems are secure are people who can't even secure their own networks against supply chain attack.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
So, so Colonel, here's what I think the audience finds confusing.
It was Trump administration officials that came before the nation and then went on 60 Minutes.
I think it was the head of CISA and people that CISA reported to that said this was the safest and most secure election in the history of the country.
Off of basically the same equipment that you're saying now, hey, and since it puts out the report, it could be hacked, I think, nine different ways.
What's the disconnect here?
What's the disconnect between officials?
And these were not radical Democrats.
These were people that President Trump's appointees in DHS had selected.
So and I think that's what gets people confused.
What's the disconnect between they're sitting there telling everybody and you're going to see him here on this On this dog and pony show next week, you're going to see these guys all rolled out, the safest, most secure.
Trump was told it was the safest, most secure.
Yet I've got Kerry Lake and Fincham filing a lawsuit to try to get a judge to take them out.
And I've got an expert like you coming in and saying, hey, you know, I'm an expert in testing complex systems.
These things have got to be pulled.
unidentified
Walk me through that gap.
Well, so back up first of all, yeah, when people say, well, these were Trump's people, they were not Trump's people.
So everybody who's been in the federal government or around it understands that most of the workforce persists in between administrations.
Not only do most of the professional civilians persist, but they have this immense contractor base.
that also continues and persists. So the political appointees move in and out, but that whole workforce that is most of what people would call the deep state and also a lot of faithful public servants, those people do not get changed over.
So saying in the first place that they're Trump's people or that they were Trump administration or Trump's picks is a little bit and maybe a lot misleading.
The other thing to understand, and I saw this happening, I was still in the Department of Defense in 17, I saw what was happening.
A lot of the people who had been political appointees put in place under President Obama's administration were sort of inserted As civilians, so in other words, they were put into more tenured positions instead of the appointed positions that would turn over.
But beyond that, this structure of the Election Assistance Commission and their advisors and the people involved in it, that revolving door with industry and the nonprofits, that was in place long before President Trump.
He didn't have any effect on that whatsoever.
I think the only thing he did was maybe he appointed an EAC commissioner.
But all those people advising them and telling them everything's good, That was all in place long before.
So when you look at that joint memorandum that you're referring to, and Chris Krebs was, you know, I mean, he's deeply invested in the way things are.
I'm not saying he's corrupt, but he's either corrupt or incompetent, because you couldn't be in that position and not be one of those two things and think what he thinks or say what he said.
But the people who signed that memorandum, that joint memorandum, We're sector and government coordinating council representatives.
Half of them, the sector coordinating council people, were all people from the voting system industry.
I mean, you look at them, they're literally the representatives from the voting system companies or from electronic registration information center, those kind of, you know, nonprofits.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay.
If, as you sit here today, if you go to the voter systems industry, is there anything, is there a set of things that can be done to actually make this machine secure, or is your position, hey, in this situation, they just all have to come out?
Because by the structure of them, they're not salvageable.
Colonel Smith.
unidentified
The last thing you said, if you want to secure systems that were built overseas with overseas parts, particularly in the People's Republic of China, with no supply chain security or oversight of design, integration, assembly, or anything, you need a flamethrower.
There's no team that is going to be able to secure those.
And just to find the kind of compromises that you could embed in those systems, because they could be extraordinarily sophisticated and covert, it would take you, I don't know, Billions of dollars of testing on a single voting system to find these if they've got them hidden well like the way that they had the super micro motherboard hack where they just had a tiny little component disguised as something else and it was sitting on that motherboard and transmitting data off of it.
It's too well hidden.
There's too much complexity.
You cannot fix these systems.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Colonel Smith, how do people get the deposition or what you put forward into this trial?
How do they get a copy of it?
We've got it up online.
How do they get to you?
Are you on social media?
Can people follow you?
unidentified
Sure.
You can find our information and the data we put up at causeofamerica.org.
And then I think the entire filing for Lake is posted up on Frank Speech.
I don't know if we've got it posted on Cause of America yet.
I should.
I sort of, I help run the library, but I should know that, but I don't know that yet.
So causeofamerica.org are up on Frank Speech for this case.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Colonel Smith, thank you.
Thank you for participating.
Really appreciate it.
And thank you for jumping in and putting your professional expertise for the good of your country.
Really appreciate it.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
Take care.

Colonel Sean Smith.
I want to go back to Dan Schultz, Dan's West Point Army officer.
Schultz, you see right there, one of the things about the precinct strategy and getting people engaged in this whole fiasco that happened in the 2020 vote, I want to ask you about particularly the machines.
You mentioned Dave Clements, and this shows you the participation we need people to have.
They're going to the counties.
It's happened in Nevada.
It's happened in New Mexico.
Are these huge counties?
The answer is no, but it's the same drive.
I want to make sure people understand, particularly in the precinct strategy, you do not need to be a donor.
The power of what Dan Schultz lays before you is that you actually have ownership without donorship.
It's the one thing I've seen, and this is obviously the mothers going to the school boards, all this, at this level of participatory populism, What it needs is your effort, your focus, your energy, and some of your time.
Okay?
And realize some people have very limited time.
You got to kind of pick and choose what you're going to do.
But Dan, I want to go back to this thing about there's no charge here.
Yeah, you may have some incremental expenses by going to a conference or something like that, but you're not, this is something you don't need to stroke a check.
This is all about getting engaged.
And I think, Dan, at the end of the day, that's what most freaks out.
The mainstream media and the Uniparty, they understand that if people actually start getting engaged here, things are going to change.
Dan Schultz.
unidentified
Yeah, thanks, Steve.
Yes, it's all about showing up and your sweat equity, your time.
And it doesn't take a lot of time.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
I ask people when I recruit them, look, your time commitment will be about three hours a month.
You should go to the monthly meetings, learn how it all works.
And the nice thing about those monthly meetings, guess who comes?
And then you can pigeonhole the candidates and talk to them face to face and ask them hard questions.
unidentified
And if they run out of the room, you can chase after them and say, wait a second, wait a second.
I want to talk to you.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
You came here and listen to us.
Well, listen to us.
And so you get to do that and then you help get out the vote.
In some states there are nominal fees, but in most there are not.
Like here in Arizona, there's no mandatory dues.
We have a right to run for precinct committeeman.
It would be a poll tax if they told us that we had to pay something to be a precinct committeeman.
So it's purely, if you want to donate some money, you can do that.
I donate money to my local committee, but that's about it.
Because I know if I give it to the County Committee or the State Committee, it's probably going to be squandered or something.
So I do it locally.
And then I spend money getting out the vote in my precinct.
And it's my choice because I'm a volunteer.
You're a volunteer.
The problem is we just don't have enough conservatives.
And what I tell complaining conservatives is this.
The reason the Republican Party isn't Is this quote-unquote conservative enough for you?
You complaining conservatives.
Is there not enough of you complaining conservatives in it?
And it's a wide open field.
There's half of the slots on average in every precinct, voting precinct, are vacant and awaiting a warm conservative body to fill it.
So volunteer.
unidentified
You know, my dad told me before I went to West Point, About the Army.
He had been in the Army.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
Never volunteer for anything.
unidentified
Well, he was wrong about that.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
He was wrong about that.
unidentified
I don't know, in the Navy and the Army, I still made that right.
I think afterwards you can definitely volunteer, but not in the service.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Big mistake.
Bad mojo.
unidentified
So anyways, but see, I volunteered to go into the Army, right?
So anyways, But volunteer to stand up to the plate now.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
Our country is in a political crisis.
My seventh grade teacher told us, if it ever gets into a political crisis, I've told you what to do.
First step, get involved in the political party of your choice, down at the local level, by becoming a voting member of it.
And it's called Precinct Committee, but in most states.
And I explain it all at my site, precinctstrategy.com.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
And once you go on Precinct Strategy, we want to make sure what Beatles, Robert Beatles, the great Robert Beatles, also included.
Tell them about the link that's on there.
dan schultz ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, we have a new platform called the Precinct Strategy Communications and Collaboration Platform, hosted on a site called pill.net, which Robert Beatles owns.
He's a 10% original owner in gab.com.
And what we can do there, once you're on the platform, it's for America firsters only.
You can set up chat rooms and chat about issues.
You can organize on it electronically.
You can share documents.
I've uploaded all sorts of documents, bylaws, forms, strategy documents, that anybody that's on the platform can find and share and use.
And we've got to have a communications platform.
The party won't give us one by design.
They don't want us to have one.
The Democrats have one.
They get it, but not the RNC.
So I finally got hooked up with Robert Beatles because he saw me on your show last year and he said, I can build that for you.
unidentified
And he did.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Perfect.
We got a bounce.
I appreciate it.
You're public enemy number two.
I guess I'm public enemy number one of the liberals, but you're my wingman on that.
So you got us in this trouble, Schultz.
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it, brother.
Okay, I tell you, we're going to announce that we're going to have this segment.
I want to introduce Jane Zirkle.
Jane's a young investigative reporter who does a lot of work for us.
Jane, we're going to talk, and I think we're going to conclude this tomorrow.
This is about artificial intelligence and face recognition used in schools.
Tee up the problem.
You've got about a minute, a minute and a half, and we'll continue it tomorrow morning.
Jane, what is this issue that's got you so concerned?
unidentified
So essentially what we've been seeing is a trend of tech companies introducing mass surveillance technology and military grade technology into schools as a way to prevent school shootings, or at least they say it is a way to prevent school shootings.
But if you look at the track record of how this technology has been implemented in America and around the globe, This type of technology that they're proposing has often been a tool of authoritarian governments to oppress and spy on their citizens.
So it's really key that parents pay attention to what measures are being presented as safety and security that may very well be invasions of their children's privacy.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Jane, we're going to hit this tomorrow morning.
Give your social media right now.
We're going to have you back on 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
We return to The Worm.
What's your social media?
unidentified
You can follow me on Twitter at Jane Zirkle.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Gotta get you up on Getter.
On Twitter, the facial record, the bad guys, the tech oligarchs are gonna take you down.
Jane Zirkle is our new Natalie winner.
Natalie is, uh, she's kind of untrained under a little bit under Zirkle.
Zirkle did some great investigative work on the hard drive from hell.
We'll tell combat stories about that later.
Jane Zirkle, thank you for joining us.
See you tomorrow morning.
We'll see all of you back here at 10 a.m.
unidentified
