Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world.
You don't want to frighten the American public.
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
But you need to prepare for and assume.
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
This is going to be a real serious problem.
France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US.
Germany, a man has contracted the virus.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
We have to prepare for the worst, always.
anthony fauci
Because if you don't, then the worst happens.

War Room.
Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
We were shut down.
Our children were masked and out of school.
Our business is destroyed and we are being mandated with jabs for jobs.
Our streets are unsafe and our veterans neglected while our taxes are going through the roof.
Hi, I'm Dan Cox, and I'm running for governor and proud to be endorsed by President Donald J. Trump to restore freedom to the free state.
There's a sense of urgency for our children, and that's why I introduced my Maryland Parental Rights Act, supported by over 50,000 Maryland parents, which would put parents back in charge of their children's education and end the political indoctrination.
My Lieutenant Governor candidate, Jordana Schiavonelli, puts parents back in charge in Queen Anne's County.
And we won.
And we will ensure that once again our streets are safe and that we back our blue and all of this while we restore freedom to the free state.
So I'm asking for your vote on July 19th to be the next governor of Maryland.
It's Monday, 11 July, Year of Our Lord 2020.
steve bannon
It's Monday, 11 July, Year of Our Lord 2020.
You're in the War Room.
We're honored to have Dan Cox, who's running in this very tough primary in Maryland for the Republican nomination for governor.
Dan, first off, you're endorsed and you're running mate by President Trump.
Hogan has endorsed your opponent.
People are talking about this as a proxy war between Hogan's theory of the case or philosophy in Maryland and MAGA President Trump.
Can MAGA win?
The rap on you is that, hey, you can win the primary, you can't win the general.
And we've seen revolts in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with Doug Mastriano.
We've seen revolts in Illinois, which people said they couldn't do it, with Darren Bailey.
Over the weekend, we had this amazing turn of events.
The Ricketts machine crushed in Nebraska.
Eric Greitens, 538, is saying he's got a 94% chance to win in the general.
We've got Dave Bossie on at six o'clock.
We've got Eric Greitens on at six o'clock to talk about these details.
Dan Cox, can you win a general election being MAGA, being President Trump, being America first in the great state of Maryland, sir?
daniel cox
Absolutely, yes.
And it's an honor that President Trump was able and willing to endorse me.
I'm thrilled with that endorsement.
It's the endorsement of a lifetime.
And I'll tell you why.
Because the election was stolen, Steve.
We have serious anomalies that we've seen and election integrity is at the forefront of many, many voters minds, particularly in the Republican Party, 80%.
But as well as the Democrat Party, we're seeing numbers of 34, 36% have serious concerns with transparency regarding the elections.
And then when you look at the economy right now, and the fact that Biden supposedly got the most number of votes in history, while Presiding over the worst economy ever right now.
People are regretting that.
We're seeing that in Maryland.
And now we're seeing a sea change of voters that are saying, you know what, they're either not going to show up if they're Democrats or we're having 25 to 30 percent promising me, telling me, yes, we're looking for the freedom candidate.
We don't want a rhino.
We don't want somebody who's going to advance what they did the last two and a half years with locking down our businesses like my opponent did with the non-essential list, locking down our churches for the first time in 400 years.
Advancing a vaccine passport right now with a $2.5 billion pandemic center.
And you know, because of great people like Seth Keschel that's been supporting and helping our campaign, we're going to turn this around in Maryland.
We're going to make sure that we have election integrity.
We're going to make sure we have freedom again.
Our businesses will flourish.
We're going to reduce the taxes.
We're going to have our parents back in charge, as you just saw in my video.
We're talking about that.
Why?
Because in Maryland, of all places in our red counties in Maryland, they're actually forcing children pre-K through third to learn about transgenderism.
And identity politics behind their parents' backs when that's just wrong.
You know, we can do better.
And I intend to win this fall, as well as next week.
steve bannon
Governor Yunkin in the Commonwealth, it was a combination of a massive MAGA turnout, plus these moms in Loudoun County, these moms that were taking over school boards that were very concerned about parental rights.
Walk through your parental rights stand, and why do you think that plays to suburban moms who might otherwise say, hey, I don't know if I'm that engaged by the Trump of it all.
Talk to us about your parental rights.
daniel cox
Well, it's a clear win because moms and mama bears are out right now to make sure That people respect their children.
And I'm the candidate that's willing to do that, that has stood up to do that.
I introduced what was called the Maryland Parental Bill of Rights.
And sadly, a week after we introduced that bill, and Governor DeSantis was also on record with President Trump saying that this is the direction for protecting parents.
Our governor, with the support to my opponent, Kelly Schultz, went on national television calling it, quote, absurd and ridiculous that parents want this.
Well, let me tell you how absurd is this, Steve.
Simply letting parents know that you're going to be teaching your pre-K through third grader that they're going to have transgender identity indoctrination.
I mean, that gives the parent the right to opt out.
Simply requiring the schools to give the parents the right to act out.
And then additionally, in my amendment that I put on the House floor, striking this out of the curriculum entirely.
Why?
Because look what they're doing to our girls sports, right?
I mean, we see this every day.
We have women who are competing at NCAA level, and they're being denied scholarships and opportunities because you have a transgender male, a person born as a male, competing against them and defeating them.
This has got to end, and I intend to do that in Maryland.
It's a broad policy.
Many, many parents are supportive.
They're saying, let's get back to the reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Let's get back to making sure that our kids know STEM technology to compete on a world scale, and let's make sure that parents are never cut out of the Information and make sure that they stay in charge.
It's a winning strategy, winning plan.
We see it and yes, we're going to win.
steve bannon
Dan, Boris is going to join us in a minute with some data and analytics of polling that's coming out.
More crushing polling against Biden.
I think there's a current poll out about 64% of the Democrats don't want to run again, but I think only 56% of African Americans currently supporting Hispanics.
We have Myra Flores, I think, in on Wednesday or Thursday.
Down in the Rio Grande Valley, Hispanics, I don't know, 50-55% are supporting the MAGA agenda.
Asian-Americans we see in Queens and New York City.
Asian-Americans are coming to the MAGA cause.
What message do you have for places like Baltimore?
My mom's from Baltimore.
I was a big Colts fan as a kid growing up.
Love Maryland.
A lot of family there on the Eastern Shore.
What's your message?
To African-Americans in Baltimore, to Hispanics, to Asian-Americans, what's your message for MAGA of why they should give Dan Cox and America First and the MAGA agenda a look?
daniel cox
Because I'm the only candidate running for governor that will give them their freedom back, that will restore the constitutional civil liberties that God gave them and protected, that are protected under the Maryland Constitution.
Article 44 of the Declaration of Rights of the Maryland Constitution says very clearly That those rights cannot be set aside at any time, a time of war, a time of any kind of plea of necessity, or it says any plea whatsoever.
So that includes pandemics.
It includes experimental jabs.
And, you know, it's interesting that we see that in the community of the African American community, as well as Latino community, these are resonating.
And the fact that president Trump had one of the highest unemployment rates in history here in Maryland for the African American and Latino communities.
And yet now under basement Biden, we've got them tanking.
They're losing jobs. People are fleeing our state. Steve, in the last eight years, we've had 250,000 net individual Marylanders leave our state and businesses leave our state. Why? Because places like Florida are doing it right. Places like Tennessee, places where there's no income tax.
Places where businesses are treated like heroes and they're allowed to flourish and parents are respected and honored.
We can do that here in Maryland.
We're a very diverse state, yes, but we are a state that believes in our freedom.
We've got only about 5.9 million citizens here in Maryland and Florida's got 22 million.
So if Florida can do it, we can do it.
And the demographics look that way.
It's exciting to see President Trump's agenda actually upticked in the minority communities.
Baltimore City loves President Trump.
They may not always come out publicly and say that, but you know what?
We're going to win Baltimore City.
I believe all the Republicans are going to come out.
We're going to win a decisive, large number of people in Baltimore City.
And I would love to win the city itself outright, but obviously that's a, you know, it's a heavy Democrat city, but we're going to win a huge number of those Trump supporters.
Same thing in Prince George's.
Prince George's County.
You know what?
Prince George's County is one of the counties that has said, enough is enough.
You're not going to experiment on my body again.
That's what they did in the past.
There's a Crownsville graveyard where experiments were performed and people died.
And they're not going to let that happen again.
And unfortunately, they're trying to do that again.
And in fact, they have done it.
And so I'm the candidate saying, no, we're going to give you your freedom back.
We're going to make sure that you can make your own health care policy choices.
Never again are we going to allow this jab for jobs and this overreach that's happened on our watch.
We've fought it.
We will fight it.
We will make things right.
And once more, restore liberty for all.
steve bannon
Yeah, I think it was just a slight miss.
President Trump, I think you agree, had the lowest unemployment rate for African-Americans here for Spanx, not the highest, the lowest.
Steve Cortez was on here the other day.
Yeah, I know.
I know you did.
That's why I let you roll.
You were on a roll and it was great.
Last thing, Steve Cortez was on here.
Do what?
daniel cox
Yeah, the highest employment rate.
Thank you.
steve bannon
Yes.
Employer.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
Cortez is on here.
The Boston Globe the other day had this analysis of small business analyzing this report.
Fifty one percent of small businesses told them they don't think they're going to be in business in six months.
A third of the small businesses missed paying rent in the month of June.
Dan Cox as governor, when you talk about freedom, all that, because there's so many, it's a state of entrepreneurs.
It's a state of small business.
What is Dan Cox as governor going to do for the small businessman and the entrepreneur in Maryland, sir?
daniel cox
We're going to take immediate action to return the Trump tax cuts to Marylanders.
Right now, $2.5 billion is sitting in the Maryland treasury.
Almost every other state received that tax benefit that President Trump gave the nation in historic tax cuts.
Sadly, in Maryland they're sitting on it.
Why?
Because they want to spend it on their nice little projects that are just continuing to inflate the economy through government spending.
Secondly, we're going to reduce the inflation by cutting the $62 billion behemoth of a budget and stop the spending and once again return the taxpayer dollars To the people making sure that our businesses immediately have regulatory relief.
We're going to slash 30% of the regulations and we're going to do it on day one.
We're going to start on that on day one.
Because why?
Maryland businesses are some of the most overregulated businesses in America.
It shouldn't be.
We are smart people.
We can make sure that we empower our businesses while at the same time protecting the environment or whatever else concern there is.
We're talking about asinine regulations that have no place In any kind of free system of government.
And additionally, when you look at the fact that our oil and gas industry has been shut down by a moratorium for the last eight years, I want to open that up.
I want to say, let's get back to making sure we can produce our own oil and gas.
I'd like to see that happen with a refinery right here in Maryland.
We're going to work hard on that and once again, restore the greatness of Maryland business.
steve bannon
By the way, Dan Cox is the Trump-endorsed candidate, and this is a proxy.
This primary, which is next Tuesday, Tuesday a week, is a proxy war between Hogan's Never Trump contingent, which Hogan helps to turn into some sort of campaign run.
I know, as funny as that sounds, ridiculous sounds, but Cox is the Trump-endorsed candidate.
Dan, how do people find out more about you?
How do they find out more about the endorsement, and how do they find out more about your campaign?
daniel cox
Well, Steve, it's a great honor.
You're a patriot.
Thank you for having me on.
They can go to Coxforfreedom.com.
And I'm asking everybody, now is the moment.
If you want to have your voices heard, please go to my website and make a secure donation at Coxforfreedom.com.
Seriously, the election is winnable.
We are winning right now, and with your donation, we can make the last-minute media buys that we're making right now.
We can ensure that we win big.
We are winning.
It looks like we're going to win big, so please join us.
We've got to raise the money right now, as you know, Steve, to fight the Democrats.
We've got really Democratic socialists right here in Maryland already attacking me, and they see me as the frontrunner.
We're running way ahead in the polls.
But this is not over.
We have got to run through the finish line and I need every person that believes in these principles.
And Steve, if everyone could understand that are watching your program can understand that as Chairman of the National Governors Association, our governor here, Governor Hogan, sadly misused the pandemic to undermine America's businesses, to shut down and pressure the shutdown of other states' businesses as well, and then turned his freedom focus away from the Republican platform and went straight into making sure that we were crushed under these executive orders.
That is wrong, and it happened here, and we need to turn that around, and I'm asking for your support.
Coxforfreedom.com.
steve bannon
I need everybody in the War Room posse to push this content out, push this information out.
Dan Cox, thank you very much.
We're going to be all over this one between now and Tuesday of the week.
Dan Cox of Maryland.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon
Boris is going to join us.
We've got Rose Garden.
We've got Axelrod.
We have Steve Cortez.
We have Boris with Analysis.
All next in the War Room.
unidentified
We're all gone. We rejoice with her no more. Let's take down the CTD.
joe biden
Thoughts and prayers with action.
Action.
I say yes, and that's what we're doing here today.
Today's many things is proof that despite the naysayers, we can make meaningful progress on dealing with gun violence.
Because make no mistake.
Sit down.
You'll hear what I have to say.
if you think you let him talk Let him talk.
No one.
Okay?
Because make no mistake about it.
This legislation is real progress, but more has to be done.
The provision of this new legislation is going to save lives.
unidentified
President Obama was under siege as well at this time in his presidency.
And there was hand-wringing and quiet meetings going on as well.
But he was also 30 years younger than this president.
And that is a concern, the ability to run a rigorous, vigorous, Uh, campaign and manage the presidency at the same time when he's in his 81st year.
And I think that's a legitimate question.
And it's one he's going to have to consider when he toes up to the line and makes the final call that he's going to go.
steve cortes
Patriots, the Democrats are in a lot of trouble with some constituencies that they formerly counted on and frankly took for granted.
For some of the numbers, let's go to Chalk Talk powered by Getter.
This is a new survey out from the New York Times.
Let's look at Hispanics and young Americans.
Strong approve versus strong disapprove of Joe Biden.
Only 12% of Hispanics strongly approve.
Shocking 41% strongly disapprove.
A three and a half Times ratio the wrong way for Joe Biden.
The news is even worse for the Democrats among young Americans.
Voters 18 to 29 years old, 1%, that's it, 1% strongly approve of Joe Biden, 32% strongly disapprove.
joe biden
Why?
steve cortes
I think it's primarily because of inflation and particularly regarding these young people, these young citizens of our country who are trying to get ahead, trying to build wealth, perhaps want to buy a house, start a family.
Their future is being crushed by Joe Biden.
steve bannon
Okay, Boris, you've done this a lot.
Now we had this, and if it wasn't clear for our podcast and radio audience, that was the Rose Garden today for a signing ceremony for this gun thing they put together.
And that was a father, it was one of the parents, I think, of Parkland.
And he was up in the back saying, yelling at Biden, saying, and he's an invited guest to the Rose Garden.
And he's sitting there going, what are you celebrating for?
This is nothing.
This is more of just your talk, et cetera.
Then he got Axelrod.
Boris, all this talk about Biden running again, it's all over in the evening of November 8th.
If we do our job and people stay focused, these numbers, 12% of Hispanics strongly approve, 41% strongly disapprove.
Those gaps, which is the calculus here, the kids, 1% strongly approve, young people, 32% strongly disapprove.
I don't see a lot of Hispanics, African Americans and young people coming out for midterm elections.
That's what this math tells you.
The crushing defeat will make all this chitchat about whether he's running or not.
It's the Democrats are going to take care of this.
Biden's not running for reelection.
That's not going to happen.
They're getting a crushing death blow as a political institution on 8 November, and then the conversation will shift to Newsom and all these other guys.
Boris Epstein, your analysis, I know you've got a bunch of polling you put up, but just on Axelrod, the Rose Garden, and Cortez, what's your initial assessment, sir?
boris epshteyn
Well, first of all, the Rose Garden, typical Joe Biden, right?
He's screaming at a parent whose child was murdered.
Instead of having some respect, some decorum.
But, you know, that comes with being decrepit.
And first of all, Joe Biden never had much of those things in terms of respect and decorum.
But he's, Joe Biden is somebody who does not know where he is, doesn't have any ability to process, because somebody who's just even a dime store politician could know that, hey, you're in the Rose Garden with parents who went to the most This is the guy that, supposedly, 81 million people voted for?
imagine. And that's how you treat that father. It was despicable, disgusting, another horrible day for Democrats because all over the country people are going to see, this is the guy that supposedly 81 million people voted for? Absolutely not. No way in the world is that the case.
And the polling is completely debilitating.
And this is polling from the New York Times that shows that Joe Biden has no shot at recovery.
And that's what David Axelrod is saying.
Axelrod's been critical of Biden for a long time, including during the 2020 campaign, when, hey, during the primary, he got bailed out, right?
Clyburn, Obama, they bailed him out.
The guy was what?
Fifth in Iowa, I think, and then fourth in New Hampshire, then somehow turned around in South Carolina.
steve bannon
Stick a fork in it.
It's over.
boris epshteyn
He was absolutely done.
He had no comeback.
And frankly, it was COVID that saved him because he didn't have to debate anymore and it was all over.
steve bannon
This was given to him.
He didn't win it.
I want to go back to CORE.
Strongly is all that matters.
give people inside baseball.
When you look at core building blocks of your coalition, and remember, Hispanics, African Americans in the young vote have been Democratic strongholds for decades and decades and decades.
Let's take that Hispanic number.
You know what it means about the strongly and the strongly.
These are people who really have strong feelings about it.
boris epshteyn
Strongly is all that matters.
Strongly is all that matters.
Yes.
steve bannon
Tell people that.
In this polling, when they do these types of polls, the stronger they're looking for, And what they're looking for is the spread.
To see that 12% of Hispanics strongly approve, and 41%, even to get a 40 number, a four-handle on the strongly disapproved, or even approved, is extraordinary.
boris epshteyn
And then look at the 45-64.
unidentified
Look at the 45-64.
13-55.
boris epshteyn
Look at the 30-44.
unidentified
12-40.
boris epshteyn
And then look at the kids.
45 to 64, 1355.
unidentified
18-29.
boris epshteyn
Look at the 30 to 44, 12 to 40.
And then look at the kids, 18 to 29.
That's a one, folks.
steve bannon
That's a zero.
That's a zero.
Remember, the one is the margin.
The margin error is what, two and a half percent.
They just put a number up there to put zero as a heckle, right?
But it's essentially a zero.
That means no kids in the nation, young people, 18 to 29.
That generation that's making, that's starting the journey of life.
And I tell people, that decade of the 20s is critical for you in your formation of what you're going to do professionally, personally.
The building of wealth or acquiring tools that you can do it.
boris epshteyn
And acquiring relationships.
steve bannon
Relationships.
Have you ever seen a 1% number in any category?
Seriously, as a professional, have you ever seen anywhere just a 1%?
boris epshteyn
I mean, honestly, if you polled 18- to 29-year-olds and asked them if aliens were going to come down tomorrow, you'd probably get a higher than 1%.
Okay?
And I'm not even—this isn't a joke.
It's not a hyperbole, okay?
I mean, 1% tells you that the country is just done with them.
And usually young people skew Democrats.
Don't forget that.
We'll have some charts here in a minute.
And if you look at the charts, I mean, if Denver could put up the right-track, wrong-track chart, I think that is one of the most selling Graphs I've ever seen in my professional career.
The graph or the charts, please.
That one.
I mean, look at this.
Look at the spread.
steve bannon
Hold it.
Explain this for the 200 million download podcast on the radio, because this chart is jaw-dropping.
So explain it, not just for the TV audience, for our radio thing, about why this is stunning in kind of the analytics of politics.
boris epshteyn
So, the wrong track is above, okay?
And the right track is below.
And usually, they're staggering around, and it's always somewhere in the 55 to 45, maybe 60-40.
Once you get to 70-30, you're getting to a really bad place.
steve bannon
No, no, no.
Hang on.
Two-thirds, one-third is the fire bill in the night.
boris epshteyn
You've got a problem.
steve bannon
This was Bush to Obama.
So, absolutely.
one third and Obama didn't change it he wasn't the agent of change same when Trump came in when they looked at Hillary as defending the establishment two-thirds one that when you hit two-thirds that's a fire bell in the night you got a massive problem that people are just not happy across the board correct anything above that you put a seven or eight extra monitors us force if you and if you look it's all right just a little light getter yeah that's right Yeah, that's right, old getter ad, how about that?
boris epshteyn
Yeah, let's run, oh, hey, that's cool.
steve bannon
And I don't know, I was going to wear... Big tech, hold on, big tech is monarchy.
boris epshteyn
I was going to wear the flagship today.
steve bannon
That's the voice of God.
boris epshteyn
I was going to be rocking the flag shirt today, by the way, and I just couldn't get away with only wearing one shirt, so I couldn't do it, okay?
I just couldn't do it.
Sorry.
There's a, you know, someday, somewhere.
So, let's go back to that graph, okay?
I've got the flag shirt going on.
So, here's what this is.
This tells you where right track, wrong track has been for over 30 years.
And again, there's ups and there's downs and there's contractions.
And then look at where it's been since early 2021, because that is that last touchpoint there.
It has gone in opposite directions, literally, literally in a way never seen before.
And that is a thousand percent all Joe Biden.
And that's a Times-CBS, that's a New York Times-CBS survey, folks.
This isn't Trafalgar, this isn't Rasmussen, this isn't Boris Epstein asking, you know, his getter following or my truth following.
This is New York Times, Siena College, CBS, in your face.
Okay?
And there's just nothing, there's nothing you can argue about it.
Because If you look at these numbers, what it tells you is that the country, having the knowledge it has and the access to information it has, processing everything, is telling you, is telling Joe Biden to go and get lost.
unidentified
And that is why there's all this hand-wringing now for different candidates.
steve bannon
But this is why it's a misdirection play.
We're going to take a break.
Here's why it's a misdirection play.
That right track, wrong track, it's just not Biden.
That's the Democrats' policies.
unidentified
Oh yeah.
steve bannon
People are saying this is not working for the country.
So the Democrats are going to start, that's why you're hearing all this talk about Biden should be run, he's older, they're wringing their hands.
unidentified
Doesn't matter.
steve bannon
That's all phony.
He's done.
It's not even a question of that.
I knew some of these guys are already sharpening the knives.
That's finished.
Even on November 8th, I can tell you what CNN, Dana Basher, I'll be sitting around the thing with the long faces.
Well, you know, this is a moment of reflection.
unidentified
25 people.
boris epshteyn
It'll be 25 people.
Our friend Maggie's gonna be up there.
Maggie's gonna be great.
steve bannon
Maggie, I could give the whole thing.
Costa, there'll be knitted brows.
There'll be knitted brows at MSNBC.
There'll be Joy-Ann Reid.
I'll have a different wig.
I should be changing wigs all night, right?
Should be changing wigs.
boris epshteyn
You gotta do it.
steve bannon
Biden's finished.
This is about the Democratic Party.
The Rolling Track number's got an 8 in front of it.
An 8 handle.
Short break.
Boris is gonna go through some more polling.
Where?
in the war room.
unidentified
We will fight till they're all gone.
boris epshteyn
We rejoice when there's no more.
unidentified
Let's take down the C.C.P.

We're talking about currency in the Federal Reserve.
A lot more of that in the days and weeks ahead.
Boris, let's get back to the math here.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
It's pretty shocking.
Remember, they're blaming Biden.
These are Democrats.
The Democrats are going to start pinning this on Biden.
What Biden should do right now, number one thing he should hire, don't hire a comms director.
I've never seen a comms director.
It's the top job in the world for comms.
She leaves to spend more time with the family.
They don't have a replacement.
That's a tell.
But he should stop shopping for a comms director and start getting a food taster.
That's what he needs right now is a food taster.
Because these numbers, they're blaming him, but it's the Democratic Party.
It's these radical, cultural, Marxist ideas, the fecklessness, the haplessness.
Boris Epstein.
boris epshteyn
Or maybe him and Gavin Newsom go boozing together.
They just forget all about it fully.
steve bannon
Don't do an oppo dump on Newsom.
We've got to stretch that one out for months.
boris epshteyn
I'm just saying Gavin likes a good time, okay?
He likes to party.
steve bannon
You're so bad.
Hey, he's married to Lady Macbeth.
You better watch it.
You're going to need a food taster, okay?
You're going to get in her book.
She's going to get you the book.
Let's go back to the man.
unidentified
Let's go back.
boris epshteyn
In Montana, I believe.
They're in Montana, and they're posting pictures pretending that they're in California.
Oh, the California National Parks are so good, except we're not in the state.
Typical.
Typical Democrats.
Let's go over the numbers.
steve bannon
Not good.
Not the best.
boris epshteyn
Not the best.
They're not bringing their best.
And by the way, listen, in all seriousness, The Democrats really are not bringing their best, okay?
They're not bringing their best.
I was talking to a reporter the other day and I said, you know, and this is just objective, okay?
Stepping back, the policies, just look at the buffoonery on the Democrat side.
Just the pure buffoonery of Joe Biden, the buffoonery of Nancy Pelosi, the buffoonery of that guy at the Department of Energy who's dressing up in BDSM, okay?
The buffoonery of shifty shift.
The Democrats have ceased being serious, okay?
LBJ, agree with him, disagree with him, that was a serious person, okay?
JFK, serious person.
Tip O'Neill, serious person, okay?
Bill Clinton even, serious person.
These are not serious people anymore.
These are buffoons.
And we have a serious problem in this country.
We need serious people to solve them.
And the most serious of all is President Donald J. Trump, who came in, stemmed the tide of liberal craziness, stopped it, and turned our country back around.
And you have never seen a brighter, starker contrast between a country on the offensive and a country under President Trump.
steve bannon
But hang on, this is what I think, for the audience, this is why I think these numbers are so important.
We're in the summer.
People are going to the beach, they're doing this.
You don't have, and particularly young people are not exactly the high information voters, a lot are like the Warren posse.
32%, they have strong opinions about the Democratic Party in this guy.
Strong opinion, 32% strongly disapprove.
boris epshteyn
Strongly.
steve bannon
Hispanic community, 41% strongly disapprove, right?
These are not guys maybe we're looking at the Financial Times every day.
They get it.
They get enough.
They see the direction of the country and they say this country's out of control and I got Biden and his Democrats.
boris epshteyn
They go gas up their car, they go buy the milk.
The young women are, you know, 18 to 29, you know, a lot of them are mothers, right?
They're going up, they're trying to get baby formula.
The country is disappearing under our feet as we speak.
We have never had quicksand like this in this country.
Never, in the history of the country.
Even the Civil War took a long time to develop, right?
But in this case, we went from classy to ashy overnight.
It's been a disaster of the type that nobody really anticipated, but elections have consequences, as stolen elections, Steve Bannon, have catastrophic consequences.
So Denver, can I get the numbers, not the graph, but the numbers on right track, wrong track.
Great work.
I mean, look at these numbers, folks.
Look at these numbers.
unidentified
18 to 29 tracks the overall Okay.
boris epshteyn
10% right track.
77% wrong track.
unidentified
Add the 13%.
boris epshteyn
That's 10% to 90%.
That is 10% to 90%, folks.
30% to 44%.
10% to 90%.
unidentified
There's nobody at all over 18%.
65% plus.
boris epshteyn
They're at 18%.
We are.
And look at the male feed.
Oh, you know.
By the way.
Hey.
Note to Karl Rove.
Okay.
Treadblossom.
Here's the deal.
Okay?
The suburban moms are not, are not going with the establishment, they're not going with the Democrats.
Look at the right track, wrong track for female.
11 to 79.
So I'm sorry, you know, the mid-2000s calculus of the soccer mom, that's all nonsense.
When the gas prices are starting to touch $10 a gallon, the suburban mom ain't that upset about the tweets anymore.
Okay?
I'm sorry.
That's just the reality of it.
And what this country needs is real leadership.
And what these numbers scream is an absolute and total lack of that leadership.
I mean, look at the overall 13% right track.
Never in my life have I seen numbers like this.
13%?
That means that with the margin of error, you're at barely a 10%.
You're diving into single digits here, folks.
And that is territory that has never been chartered in the history of this country.
Richard Nixon blew this away when he was walking to the helicopter.
He was probably at 30% or so.
What are you talking about?
High 20s.
steve bannon
High 20s, low 30s.
boris epshteyn
That's what it was.
steve bannon
What does this mean?
boris epshteyn
This isn't just Joe Biden, OK?
So I'm so sorry to give this hint to the Democrats who say, oh, maybe Pritzker or Cooper.
That's all nonsense.
This isn't a branding problem.
This isn't a personal problem.
This isn't a communications problem.
This is a policy problem.
And Democrat liberal policies have failed once and for all.
And that is why we, as long as we go MAGA, And we keep sticking to our ideals under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, have an opportunity to end the Democrat Party once and for all this November, and fully put a stake in it in 2024.
steve bannon
I want to go to Vox.
I sensed a thing over the weekend.
We're going to be talking about 538 in the next hour with Eric Greitens.
538's come out, and they're the analytics guys.
They said Greitens is like 94% in a general election.
But Vox came out, and Vox had this piece, and these Vox and FiveThirtyEight are two progressive left sites, but they're very analytical, and they try to back everything up with evidence.
Vox came out, Boris, with, I think they said, seats that are in play now because of Roe v. Wade.
And all we've heard about is the Roe v. Wade thing, it's going to be the end of it, they're going to drive five million people to the polls end of it.
A dozen to maybe 15 seats.
Eight of those were in the Senate.
There was a handful of House seats and they were like Luria and Virginia.
I mean, it was kind of, it was like six or seven House seats max that this was going to make a play.
What does that tell you, Boris?
boris epshteyn
It's much like that night of destruction or whatever it is that they had planned that fizzled out.
The Democrats have no energy.
They have no enthusiasm.
They have no drive behind them.
And Dobbs' decision didn't do anything but energize and give enthusiasm to the right wing, to our people, to Christian conservatives, to evangelicals.
And hear me loud and hear me clear.
We've been saying this for a long time.
Right now, the country is either two-thirds, and it's quickly coming up on three-quarters MAGA.
That is where we stand as a country.
Look at Baltimore.
You know, Cox was talking about, oh, you're Baltimore.
Of course you think the blue-collar folks in Baltimore City are for Joe Biden.
steve bannon
You think anybody who's ever been in a union— Working-class African-Americans and Hispanics, why would they be for that?
boris epshteyn
You think anybody who's ever been in a union is for the Democrats?
Absolutely not.
steve bannon
Let me, one more thing for allusion.
Pennsylvania had Mastriano come from nowhere and win this thing, a Trump guy.
Illinois, Darren Bailey, come from nowhere, right?
Associated Blues said win it.
Maryland, you got Cox is up now and Hogan, and Hogan's been there for eight years.
It's his machine.
In Missouri, Gritens is supposed to be, oh, he can't do anything.
Gritens is crushing the opposition in the primary, but he's up big in the general.
And now Nebraska over the weekend, which Bossie kind of called this, the Ricketts, which went out of their way to go to Georgia to try to crush Trump, because Pete Ricketts, let's be blunt, also has presidential aspirations.
His dad's got billions of dollars, they own the Cubs.
They have, and we had the guys on today, we're gonna try and get back on tomorrow.
Riggins and Watson and others, they arrested people.
Riggins had people, had MAGA guys arrested on Saturday.
They overthrew the chairman over the weekend, and now MAGA runs in Nebraska.
You got Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, and some of these, like Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maryland, are not exactly hotbeds.
Traditionally, for populists and nationalists, you're seeing something's going on here, Boris, below the surface.
Tell me what it is.
boris epshteyn
MAGA's ascendant.
That is what it is.
MAGA's ascendant.
The American people have seen the contrast.
The Republican Party has seen the contrast.
And it has no interest in going back to the establishment, tacky Republican model.
It is now all about populist nationalism, all about inclusive, participatory nationalism of populists.
It's all about putting America first.
And the revolution started by President Trump in 2016 when he won, and continuing right now is only getting hotter and hotter and hotter and hotter.
And you've seen that, G.R.
Majewski in Ohio, Ed Durr in New Jersey, the fact that Siderelli almost won in New Jersey.
You have these movements, and the movement under the leadership of President Trump is only getting stronger, and you're going to see it in more places, including California, New York, and all over the country.
That's why we have to contest anywhere and everywhere.
steve bannon
Boris, real quickly.
Denver, play this.
This just happened down in San Antonio.
You've got to play it, Boris.
You have a minute to respond.
unidentified
Let's play it.
But we can't get those things on our own.
Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bogadas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, And as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength.
steve bannon
The limousine liberalism has never looked so bad.
boris epshteyn
It is just, it's completely detached.
No connection to the voters or the crowd whatsoever.
This is the worst it has ever been, probably since Marie Antoinette.
It is sad, it's pathetic, but it represents exactly what today's Democrat Party is.
Out of touch.
steve bannon

donald j trump
You have to imagine all of the liberal tears that will be cried and all of the rhino tears that will be shed when J.D.
steve bannon
wins on election day.
We're going to send J.D.
unidentified
Vance to the United States Senate.
J.D.
Vance has won the Ohio GOP primary Senate race.
We're going to win so much, you may even get tired of winning!
What we need in Washington is people who understand how the elites plunder this country and then blame us for it.
jd vance
When those Americans dare to complain about the conditions of their own country, they get called racists, bigots, xenophobes, idiots.
unidentified
Whatever they call us, we will put America first.
joe kent
I became an America First Republican after watching our government lie about regime change wars and ship our economy overseas.
joe biden
I wanted to do something to stop the downward spiral.
unidentified
What we need is Republicans to go on offense and actually try to hold the deep state accountable.
steve bannon
17-8, we need guys like you in Congress.
unidentified
Election integrity is the most important issue.
This is straight up anti-white racism.
Look at how they're going after President Trump because he led the MAGA movement and that terrifies them.
If it were up to them, we wouldn't even exist.
joe biden
This ain't your father's Republican Party.
This is the MAGA Party now.
unidentified
They wanted to write a story that this campaign would be the death of Donald Trump's America First agenda.
Ladies and gentlemen, it ain't the death of the America First agenda.
The best is yet to come.
steve bannon
America Firebrand pack.
Paige Wiley, the head of it.
Paige, what did we just see?
Tell me why this pack is different.
Why is it focused on social media?
And I gotta tell you, that's one of the best spots I've ever seen.
If you're not jacked up on that, you're not, you're not mad.
That's all, that's ultra mega.
Paige, tell us what American Fire, hold it.
It's American Firebrand and it ain't Matt Gaetz.
unidentified
Paige, tell me about, tell me about the, tell me about the pack.
That's right.
Well, thank you for having me, Steve.
It's so nice to be back on War Room.
Love your audience.
As you said, they are high-information voters who know what's happening, so it's great to be here.
American Firebrand is our super PAC that we started when I left the White House because, truly, President Trump started one of the most important movements in American history, right?
It's not just a movement, it's a revolution.
We wanted to be clear to the GOP establishment that when there is a red wave in November, it is going to be shaped by the MAGA party.
This is the MAGA party now, and they need to rise to the occasion.
They need to not be servicing corporate special interests and corrupt entities that sort of try to claw back political movements to make them serve their interests.
But we need to be serving President Trump's voters, we need to be serving the base voters.
We need to be presenting the American people with an amazing, inspiring agenda about the greatness our country can achieve, rather than reverting back to this dysfunctional status quo, hoping that media scrutiny will leave them alone.
This type of GOP establishment politician that desperately just wants to be congratulated for their bipartisanship, their decorum, instead of The resolve that it takes to really fix our country when we have leaders like Joe Biden stewarding us into decline.
steve bannon
Walkthrough, that ad had, and for the podcast audience, we got to get, you got to go to the site and get our email in the morning and see this.
It's amazing.
But you had one, one hitter after another.
Who, when you're super packed, what are you going to do?
Who are you going to work for?
And I take it you guys are just not making 30 second spots, right?
unidentified
Right, so we see this as a time to make true statements about the state of the movement, where it's going, and who are the standard bearers of the party, who is speaking to the true resolve that it takes to fix our country when you have a president so devoted to a doctrine of decline, weakening our country deliberately under Joe Biden.
So you've got candidates like Blake Masters, candidates like J.D.
Vance in my home state of Ohio, where they are speaking seriously about things like Reshoring our industrial base.
Talking serious toughness on the border and not just in platitudes, in these focus group generalities that you sometimes hear from Republican politicians, but in serious terms about things like law enforcement and potentially things like deportation and how do you reclaim things like immigration policy so that they actually work for the interests of this country
Instead of big business lobbies, instead of for corrupt NGOs that are enriching themselves off of maximizing the volume of people coming over our border.
And so that's the type of candidate we look for.
That's the type of voice we look for.
Joe Kent is fantastic on the abuses of the intelligence community.
Anthony Sabatini in Florida is fantastic on a lot of these big government injustices as well.
steve bannon
Tell people a little bit about your background.
How did you get here?
unidentified
Yeah, so born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, I saw firsthand the consequences, the destruction of globalism, seeing your hometown hollowed out by offshoring and deindustrialization.
In a way, it opens your eyes to how how disloyal politicians can really be in this country.
And so when President Trump, when he was running as a candidate, I said, you know, this is not a caricature of what's happening in these states across the industrial Midwest.
People see this every single day, death and suffering from the opioid epidemic from massive unemployment.
It was really it was a horrible thing to witness growing up.
And so when President Trump ran, I coincided right with when I graduated from college and landed in Washington, D.C.
And so my first job in the Trump administration was with the Council of Economic Advisers studying the economy.
And as you know, Steve, President Trump is he is so focused on economic success for everyone in this country, whether, no, regardless of their background, regardless of their education level, he wanted to see the trends going up for people achieving better wage improvement, achieving better employment opportunities, whether they were African-American, Hispanic, white, no college degree, no high school diploma, he really, really cared about their material prosperity.
And so that was my first position in the White House.
And then I moved to be a more general advisor with the Office of Political Affairs across lots of different topics.
steve bannon
Perfect.
Paige, real quickly, how do people find out more about you?
How they get to social media and how they get to your Super PAC?
unidentified
