steve bannon
This is what you're fighting for.
I mean, every day you're out there.
What they're doing is blowing people off.
If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power.
Because this is just like in Arizona.
This is just like in Georgia.
It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations.
And that's why patriots have to put their shoulder to the wheel.
All this nonsense, all this spin.
They can't handle the truth.
War Room, Battleground.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Okay, we're live.
It's Wednesday, 3 August, Year of Our Lord 2022.
We're live at CPAC.
It's load-in day.
Here we are on Lyndale TV, Frank's Speech Journal, John Fredericks Radio Network, G News, all of it.
And we're here.
We've had to reverse the shot because they were getting a little too crazy.
The Trump tribe of Texas, Mike Manuel, founder...
unidentified
Crowd cheers Trump, man...
steve bannon
Manuel, it's the greatest idea in the world.
I'm gonna do this.
A bunch of hot gals, right?
Run around Trump, amazing.
Mike Manuel, that's an entrepreneur right there.
The Trump tribe, you go to Trump tribe of Texas.
What is it right now?
Facebook, Mike Manuel, go there.
Check it out.
Google Trump Tribe of Texas.
They're going to be here.
It's load-in day.
It's load-in day at CPAC.
Really want to thank CPAC for doing this because we're supposed to be up during the normal day, and we came out last night because we had to do the coverage for what's happening in Arizona.
Little did we know, we'd still be counting on a primary ballot.
We'd still be counting on the evening afterwards.
Maricopa County has just said, and I'm not making this up, That the next drop, only 80% of the votes have been counted.
80% of the votes in a primary.
I think there's, what, two and a half, three, four million voters in Arizona total.
In France, there's 32 million.
In France, France, by the way, right?
Guys who take the entire month of August off, right, for vacation.
So, I love the French.
I used to be a partner.
Sok-Chan bought my investment bank at one time.
I lived in Paris.
I love the French.
But they're not the hardest working folks I ever met, okay?
They know how to live, right?
They know how to live.
And here, they finish counting by hand at 8 o'clock at night, 32 million votes for a whole nation.
They declare a winner and they never argue about it.
Here in Maricopa County, Only 80% of the votes are counted.
that what is a walk-in this new thing oh you got to walk in mail-in ballot you got a mail-in ballot just walk it in that day we got five days to adjudicate this is nothing more than the republican establishment knows they got crushed by donald j trump and the trump machine okay with no money with grassroots the turnout and the voting on the uh on game day was 70 30 you know In American politics today, 52-48 is a landslide.
The country is so evenly divided, and or the Democrats cheat so well, that you have very small margins.
Chris Kobach won by four points.
I said, brother, you had a landslide.
70 to 30, the spread on game day votes.
Carrie Lake was down at midnight last night, eastern daylight time.
Carrie Lake was down by 10 points.
The Robeson campaign was making all kinds of noises for her to concede.
And what'd she say?
Let's take a deep breath and count all the legitimate votes.
And so, today she's up by 1.8%.
Of course, You haven't had any vote drops in six, eight, nine hours.
And they just told us they're going to drop at 7 p.m.
Pacific time, 10 p.m.
That's just the next drop.
They're not guaranteeing that that's all there is.
What they're trying to do, the Republican establishment, the McCain, Ducey, Mike Pence, anti-Trump, never Trump apparatus, is trying to do something very simple.
They're trying to work with MSNBC and the New York Times and take this searing victory away from Kerry.
From Kerry Lake would have, get up there and give that amazing speech, right?
Just like Tudor Dixon gave last night, Tudor Dixon gave a textbook victory speech in Michigan.
They did not want that to happen again.
The establishment knows they've been defeated.
They've been defeated by working class people that went out and voted 70 to 30 on game day, which are really the legitimate votes, okay?
Blew them out, and now they're gonna slow walk this.
They're gonna make this as hard as possible for Kerry Lake to win.
Because they fear Carrie Lake and MAGA more than they fear progressive Democrats, right?
They are the controlled opposition.
And Katie Hobbs, Katie Hobbs is at 7 o'clock in the morning on MSNBC saying this and saying that, that these people are extreme and everything like that.
Do your job!
How could you?
You're the Secretary of State of Arizona, and I don't want to hear, oh, it's at the counties.
You should drive down to Maricopa County, Secretary of State, and say, what's going on?
You're supposed to represent everybody.
You're not just supposed to represent Democrats, okay?
You're supposed to represent everybody.
Okay, at CPAC this week, we're trying to have as many guests in studio as possible.
That's the reason we came here.
We really want to thank Matt Schlapp and the guys Matt was on.
At the last hour.
I really want to thank everybody.
This is load-in day, so you're going to have a lot of activity, a lot of working people around here putting stuff up.
They've got to get stuff done or they'll be here until O-Dark 30 in the morning.
I want to thank Ivan, Garcia, Hidalgo.
Ivan, you've been with us many times.
You launched tomorrow this new Hispanic language network, English language for Hispanic.
Last time we had you on, Soros was down there buying up, because look, We all can't stand Soros.
We disagree with his ideology.
He's a radical, but he's a smart guy, and he's a tough guy, and he puts his money where his mouth is.
How come we don't have billionaires in the Republican Party that don't put their money to back MAGA, to back Donald Trump, to back the working class people in this country?
All they've got is money on the politics of personal destruction.
Destroy Eric Greitens, not a problem.
Destroy Carrie Lake, not a problem.
Destroy Kris Kobach, not a problem.
Destroy Joe Kent, not a problem.
They can't beat us on policy, so the billionaires in the Republican Party put their money in back of the politics of personal destruction.
$30 million against Carrie Lake in Arizona.
$30 million of ads the Democrats are going to run over and over and over again.
They don't care about winning.
What they care about is the managed decline of this country where they have a part of it.
There's a great theory out there called the Thucydides Trap.
This is this theory that we're the declining power, China's the rising power.
It's based upon the Peloponnesian War and this guy Graham Allison from Harvard and Henry Kissinger have this theory that 12, 15 times throughout world history you've had a declining power and a rising power.
And it's all led to a catastrophic war, except a few times, the few times the enlightened declining power was able to kind of nudge the rising power to their values.
And that's what the United States should do as they decline.
We should ask the CCP very nicely to kind of take our values.
Dr. Allison came over one time to the Breitbart Embassy where the war room is filmed.
I asked Dr. Allison, I said, I read your book, went through your theory.
Here's your problem, brother.
Show me one time, one time where the elites of the declining power made more money on the way down than they made on the way up.
Because that's what's happened here.
And that's why you have a Republican establishment that has all the benefits of the MAGA votes, all the benefits of the MAGA sons and daughters that are put out in these endless wars, all the benefits of MAGA's taxes and their pension funds, but MAGA gets none of the benefits.
Ivan, I'm so glad.
Source is down there buying radio stations because he knows big AM radio stations in Florida because he understands AM radio media is the way to get the Hispanic vote.
There's a tectonic plate shift.
I think 50-50% of Hispanic votes could come our way this November.
Tell us what you're doing.
I know you're launching TV.
We want to hear the whole story.
unidentified
Absolutely, Steve.
It's always a pleasure to be here.
You know, like you said, George Soros went out there and bought 18 stations.
One of them was Radio Mambe, a classic Cuban exile radio station in Miami.
steve bannon
A legendary.
That thing's been around forever.
Every big personality in the Cuban community has come through there.
It's the reason that South Florida has been such a rock for Republican candidates, right?
unidentified
That's right.
That's exactly right.
With the sole intention to shut it down, cancel it, kill it, and eliminate all Hispanic conservative voices.
So at Americana, we said, no way.
No way to Soros.
Come on over.
And we took all the top talent.
We eliminated six hours of their premium.
steve bannon
You took a host of them for six hours of programming.
unidentified
We took six hours of their programming, and we're still not done.
But what we're doing right now is, as you know, we launched on SiriusXM, becoming the first ever nationwide conservative network In Spanish language, right back in March.
And now we're doing it on TV.
We're actually going to be transmitting here six hours a day.
steve bannon
Hold on, hold on.
You're launching on TV at CPAC?
unidentified
Yep.
steve bannon
And how can people pick up?
unidentified
Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, Google TV.
Wow.
You can download our apps on iOS and Android.
We're also on every single major podcast platform.
And something that we're going to do to help the American people, since Joe Biden's disastrous policies are spiking up the cost of gas, We're gonna give free gas for a year to one person.
All you have to do is download our app, register, and you qualify to win gas for a year.
So that's what we're gonna give back.
We're trying to give back to the American people.
Hopefully Joe Biden will do something, but I think he doesn't know who he is half the time or where he is the other half, right?
But hey, you know, who am I to come up with that psychiatric outcome, right?
But I'm pretty sure there's some psychiatrists out there that'll agree, you know?
steve bannon
Let me ask you, why are we seeing now...
When the Republicans have told us forever, you gotta be for DACA, you gotta be for open borders, you gotta be for this, when you have MAGA, which is for law and order, it's for the family as a nuclear unit, it's for none of this craziness about gender ideology, it's not about CRT, it's about locking down the border so that the low-income people and low-skilled people are not flooded with labor that drives down
That you have all these deals with these visas that allows the whole world to come to Silicon Valley, and African-American and Hispanic people can't get jobs there.
Why is it the Republican Party has gone for years and tried to get it and really gotten no traction, but Donald Trump comes along, right, as a tough guy, as a guy who's going to stand up for the country, and all of a sudden you've got MAGA, you've got working class whites and others, and now you're seeing 50, 55 percent.
What did the mainstream media get wrong, and what did the Republican Party get wrong that the Hispanic community wanted to hear?
unidentified
Well, you nailed it, right?
It's MAGA policies.
It's the absolute success of Donald Trump.
You know, we had the strongest economy in over 50 years.
The lowest unemployment for Hispanics in the history of this country.
The history.
steve bannon
Lowest unemployment.
unidentified
The history.
You know, the first time in over a decade that income went up and it benefited Hispanics the most.
You know, that's reality.
Donald Trump was a president for Hispanics.
And Hispanics recognize that.
Hispanics understand that.
And like you said, law and order.
steve bannon
You know why he was a president for Hispanics?
Because he's the president that put America first.
unidentified
That's right.
steve bannon
They understand that.
African-Americans understand.
Royce White's going to be my co-host in a minute.
All you got to do is deal straight with people.
Make sure you're going to support American citizens and people are going to flock to you, right?
unidentified
That's right.
steve bannon
You don't have to kowtow to special interests.
What you need to do is stop the vested interest.
unidentified
And if you look at every poll, Steve, Hispanics are against illegal immigration.
Hispanics understand the problem at the border.
Democrats call you a racist, say all kinds of stupid stuff, right?
But the reality is we know what happens at the border.
There's drug trafficking, there's human trafficking, there's organ trafficking.
There's drugs, there's weapons, there is all kinds of problems, you know, at the border.
Women, young girls have to take birth control before they start that trek to the border because they're going to get raped multiple times a day.
You know, something that's not talked about is organ harvesting.
How many people disappear in the deserts You know, cut up to pieces, organs disappeared, and killed and slaughtered for their organs.
This is a horrible, horrible thing.
steve bannon
You believe that?
unidentified
No, I know that for a fact.
A lot of people say that's conspiracy theory.
steve bannon
Why do you think it's a fact?
unidentified
Because I've talked to so many law enforcement experts across the border, federal, you name the agency, I've spoken to them, and they know that for a fact.
They absolutely The U.S.
government knows that.
It is not something that's made up.
The cartels run this thing.
The coyotes run this thing.
If you don't have the money to pay your debt, you gotta go work for the cartel.
Go pack bags, carry bags, do security, do whatever.
If you're a woman, then you gotta go work.
Really?
As a sex slave?
Thousands of dollars.
Really? Is it sex life?
Once you pay it off, then you're let go.
steve bannon
Thousands of dollars.
Human trafficking is a bigger business than drug trafficking?
unidentified
It's huge. You talk to people that are across the border in Arizona, California, and they talk about the safe houses.
You know, I've got to get Robert Arce, who's our contributor.
He worked on the border.
He talks about safe houses that he went into in Phoenix.
And there were a hundred people, a hundred people with no shoes.
They were locked down, tied down, waiting for their family members to wire money, FedEx, I mean not FedEx, Western Union, to be released.
In another room with a padlock, All the pretty girls and women that were being used for something else.
It is a horrendous, horrendous thing.
This administration, the Democrat policies are horrendous and inhumane and they just don't get it.
They think it is pandering to Hispanics.
Hispanics don't care.
Hispanics don't want illegal immigration.
We understand that bringing... Look, you cannot have The poorest of poor people, and those are the ones that are really trekking across, right?
From Central America and Mexico.
They have very little education, if any.
They can probably not read or write their own language.
You know?
And you're going to bring them into the number one economy in the world?
That's inhumane.
steve bannon
How are you going to make them compete?
How are they going to compete here?
That's how they flood the zone with low-skilled labor.
And this is what kills Hispanics.
How do people get to you?
What's your social media handle?
How do they find out this initial broadcast?
unidentified
Americanomedia.com.
Americanomedia.com.
iOS or Android.
Download the app.
Register for free gas for a year.
You can win it.

You name it.
iHeart, Apple, Google, Spotify.
We're all there.
steve bannon
Free gas for a year.
How big a deal is inflation to the Hispanic community?
How big an issue?
unidentified
Look, it's huge.
I mean, look, Hispanics have to drive an average of over an hour to get to work every day.
You know, so it kills them every day.
I talk to so many working class Hispanics and they say gas is killing me.
When I go to the grocery store, I can't buy the same things I bought a year ago.
We can't even fill it halfway to what we bought a year and a half ago.
They understand.
They understand something that's very clear.
MAGA policies, Donald Trump policies put America first and put Hispanics first.
And it grew Hispanics like never before.
And they know one thing also, Steve, is that Democrats and these policies are destructive.
They're the worst that can happen.
So many Hispanics lost their country and had to flee because of these Marxist policies.
And we know it guarantees only five things, right?
Misery, chaos, corruption, destruction, and ultimately death.
So who wants that?
Democrats do.
Hispanics don't.
Steve, always a pleasure.
steve bannon
Good luck.
We love having you guys on and love the work you're doing.
The Hispanic vote is absolutely, the tectonic plate shift is going to lead us to 50, 60, 70 seats this year.
unidentified
We're going to get over 56%.
steve bannon
Watch.
Brother, if we do that, it'll be like 1932.
The Democratic Party, we have a chance to destroy the Democratic Party.
unidentified
And we have to.
And we have to.
steve bannon
Brother, good luck.
Love having you guys on.
Let's go.
We're going to go to the great state of Washington.
We've got Lauren Kolb.
Is Lauren Kolb up?
Uh, Lauren, uh, tell us.
I want an update from Lauren.
How can the most advanced, uh, one of the most advanced states with Microsoft, Amazon, Seattle, how can they only have 50?
I think it's 53% of the vote counted.
Lauren Colton.
unidentified
Yeah.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it, Steve?
Um, you know, in the 2020 governor's race, they had the results, uh, five minutes after the polls closed and, uh, they can't come up with numbers, even a 10th of the amount of votes in this election right now.
Um, but we don't have an update on the numbers.
They're saying that it will be between four and five o'clock Pacific time.
So we're in a holding pattern right now.
But I, you know, I will add that Republicans aren't going to save this nation by playing politics, by playing party politics.
Dividing the vote like they did in my election and Joe Kent's election is why the both of us aren't in the number one spot right now.
And it's a strategy to keep the swamp creatures in the swamp.
I mean, most Republicans are fine playing right along with that.
You know, I raised some eyebrows recently when I said that I don't give a rat's ass about a party as much as I do the American people.
Some people in the mainstream Republican Party lost their freaking minds because I care more about the American people than I do a party.
But we can't play party politics.
We have got to stand strong, and we're going to Hopefully push this over here.
I don't know about this vote count.
I don't know how many votes they're going to actually put out.
The count?
We might be sitting here waiting until Friday for all I know.
steve bannon
Lauren, let me ask you because this is what the audience wants to know.
People are telling me that it's the rural vote in Washington 3 and Washington 4 that is the strongest game day vote for you and Joe Kent.
Those are exactly the ballots that haven't been counted yet.
Do you have any feel for where these ballots are going to come from?
unidentified
We do not know where those ballots are going to come from.
I know that a lot of my supporters don't trust the mail-in voting, which we've had for at least three decades here in Washington state.
They don't trust it, so they were holding their ballots to drop them off—not mail them, but drop them off on Election Day.
So I don't know.
I mean, they collect those.
Supposedly, they close the ballot box and collect the ballots at 8 o'clock that night.
They stop counting the vote at 8.45 or 9 o'clock.
So whether they got to those ballots to be counted in the first batch, I don't know.
steve bannon
Okay, Culp, one more time.
The next drop by the Secretary of State there is going to be at 8 p.m.
Eastern Time?
unidentified
Yes.
Yes, 7 to 8 p.m.
is what we're being told.
steve bannon
7 to 8 p.m.
your time or Eastern Time?
unidentified
Eastern Time.
steve bannon
Okay.
It's unacceptable.
I mean, isn't the state of Washington, the great state of Washington, the Huskies, we've got all these great folks up there, great patriots.
Correct me if I'm wrong, is that not the headquarters of Amazon?
Is that the headquarters of Microsoft?
Is that the headquarters outside of Silicon Valley?
Maybe Austin, Texas?
Maybe Route 128 in Boston and Cambridge?
Right?
Are the only other two tech centers like this in the world?
You got Nancy Pelosi over there in Taiwan because of the chips.
But Seattle, Washington, how can a state that's a leader in the post-industrial world economy have 53% of their votes, only 53% counted, at what?
In the afternoon of the day after?
How does that happen, Brother Culp?
Tell me how that happens.
unidentified
Yeah, why does that happen?
You know, and it leads to voter mistrust.
It leads to people thinking that they're doing something nefarious.
And we need people to trust our election system.
So why do they delay the vote like this?
Steve, I have no clue.
I mean, they're using machines.
steve bannon
Brother Colt, the only way people are going to trust this system is if the people take it over.
Our bettors and the elites have shown us the fiasco of 2020 when they stole it from Trump.
They've had two years to get everything right.
In Maricopa County, at 10 o'clock tonight, Eastern Time, they're going to have the next drop, right?
They're not saying the final, the next drop.
Our veterans have spoken, and in Washington, this is all we need to know.
You got Phoenix, and you got up there in the state of Washington.
If they can't get it together, the elites have shown us what they're going to do, because they don't care.
You know what they're doing?
They're working this thing out to get the vote they want to have.
They do not want to give up power.
The last thing they want to see, right, is Joe Kent and Lauren Culp in Congress.
This is exactly what's happening.
Is there any doubt in your mind of that, sir?
unidentified
Yeah, they don't want Joe Kent and Laura Culp in Congress.
No, because we will not go along to get along.
We're going to Washington D.C.
to fight the swamp, to stand up for the American people, and take this country back from the radical left.
And the rhinos that are in Congress and in the presidency.
Okay.
They don't want that at all.
They want to keep things as usual because they want the money flow to keep going.
They want the money laundering scheme that they've got going to continue.
And they know that Joe Kennedy and I aren't going to play that game.
steve bannon
Brother Culp, really quickly, what's your social media?
People want to find out and follow this 24-7.
How do people get to you to get latest second updates on the race in Washington, Washington 4?
unidentified
Yeah, well, we post the results as soon as we get them.
My handle on most social media is Lauren, at Lauren Culp, and my website is culp4congress.com.
steve bannon
Brother Culp, Lauren Culp, fight on brother.
We'll check back in throughout the night and see you on here tomorrow.
unidentified
Thank you very much, Steve.
steve bannon
I've got the one and only Royce White here riding shotgun with me.
Right before I bring Royce in here, I wanna get to, I gotta get to Brian Kennedy.
Brian, you went out to Arizona immediately for President Trump, I think on the 4th or 5th of November, 2020.
Is it an absolute disgrace what's going on in Maricopa County?
And what would you recommend Kelly Ward do right now, sir?
unidentified
Thanks, Steve.
I would suggest Kelly Ward get serious and quit with the happy talk.
The fact is they stole it from Trump in 2020 in Arizona, because they had constructed a system to basically obfuscate the ability of anybody to watch what goes on.
And we haven't fixed that over the last two years, and shame on us.
steve bannon
That's great.
unidentified
And Stephen Richard, who's the registrar there in Maricopa County, he has said time and again that the election in 2020 was not stolen.
He's supposed to be a Republican.
He acts like a Democrat.
He took to the pages of National Review last year to say absolutely the election was not stolen.
So now this is not incompetence on his part.
This is their system of voting.
And they make it confusing this way, and they make it look complicated so that they can manipulate the vote if they have to, to get the desired results.
This is done on purpose.
They don't want people like Kerry Lecht to win, or Mark Fincham, or Blake Masters.
But yesterday you saw so many people coming out and voting for those folks that they won.
But the mere fact that we don't have lawyers on the ground making sure that these votes are being counted and published is simply ridiculous.
And everybody watching in the war room should be upset about this.
steve bannon
No, they are.
They're outraged.
By the way, you told me last night, we didn't know this, the great Vince Scully passed away.
Brooklyn Dodgers, L.A.
Dodgers, the voice of baseball.
I didn't realize he's a major contributor to Claremont Institute, which you ran.
Can we play?
We got a short clip on Vin Scully.
Let's play Vin Scully.
I want to have Brian Kennedy, who knew him, comment.
unidentified
We take a moment to pause and note the passing of the greatest baseball broadcaster of all time.
Vin Scully passed away last night at the age of 94.
It's not often that you can say of anybody in any profession with absolute certainty that he was the greatest of all time.
I want to go to Brian Kennedy.
Brian, Vince Scully was obviously a legend.
A good man.
Went to Fordham.
I think went to Fordham Prep too.
Went to Brooklyn Dodgers.
He did that great to broadcast.
brought into our household and the wonderful warmth of the man himself.
There is no question that Vince Scully set a standard that nobody will ever equal.
When Vince brought.
steve bannon
Want to go to Brian Kennedy.
Brian Vince Scully was obviously a legend, a good man, went to Fordham.
I think went to Fordham Prep too.
With the Brooklyn Dodgers, he did that great to broadcast.
I think it was 1955 when the Brooklyn Dodgers finally broke that streak and beat the New York Yankees.
Then he went to LA.
as a guy who lived in Southern California for years.
Baseball was Vin Scully, and Vin Scully was baseball.
Walk us through.
Tell us about his involvement with Claremont.
unidentified
He was a donor, Steve, and just out of respect for his family, I don't want to overstate it just because the media is so divisive these days.
But he was a supporter of Claremont.
He was a patriot.
He was a gentleman.
He was a Roman Catholic.
I very often listen to the Rosary, which is recited by Vin Scully, of all people.
And he was a devout Catholic, but just a good man.
And he's a reminder for all of us who are engaged in politics.
We do all this politics, not for the sake of politics.
But for the sake of liberty and freedom.
And Ben Scully, and the way he announced baseball, he was such a gentleman.
He reminds us about what's good about America.
steve bannon
Amen.
unidentified
And that we do this, these hard things like politics, so that we can enjoy things like baseball, and our family, and our freedoms.
And that's an important reminder as we're here in the trenches.
steve bannon
Brian Kennedy, how do people track you on social media, sir?
unidentified
On Getter, it's Brian T. Kennedy.
For all you do.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother, for doing this.
The Chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger of China.
Okay.
Very special.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
When we return, one of the great warriors in our nation, one of the great populists and nationalists, Royce White, is in the house.
We return with War Room Battleground.
Be back in a moment.
unidentified
War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon.
Okay.
steve bannon
We're live.
We're at CPAC Load-In Day.
Hello!
Can't produce it myself.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Thanks, guys.
By the way, we're here at War Room Battleground, Wednesday, 3 August.
I'm honored to have a friend, a buddy, a comrade, a colleague, a compatriot, the great Royce White.
Royce, look, I've come to admire you.
Jeff Quantin is my old partner.
He's one of the founders of the Big 3 League.
You guys have a great thing going.
You've camped in Dallas for the summer.
I think you're going to Chicago.
The lake's going great.
You've become a global figure, not just as a populist nationalist running for Congress now in a competitive primary to try to run against Omar, but you've kind of made Big Three basketball as a TV event for more than just basketball fans.
Because when Royce White goes out, he's the one guy who talks about the Uyghurs, he takes on the Chinese Communist Party, he's fighting injustice throughout the world, right?
Talking on the Federal Reserve, Brought your favorite book here, Lords of Easy Money.
royce white
Lords of Easy Money.
steve bannon
Lords of Easy Money.
Royce White's taking on the Fed.
He's defending the little guy throughout the world.
Now, I was in the news here recently with a certain event in Washington, D.C.
My lawyer let me say, a certain event in Washington, D.C., and my brother, Royce, says, man, you gotta watch.
You gotta watch my walkout.
Now, when Royce does the walkouts at Big 3, they're like a global event.
He's got the Uyghurs, you know, ban the Fed, end the Fed, end the Uyghurs, take down the CCP.
So I watch it, and people say that you're gonna walk out with a shout-out, free banning, right?
Shaved on your, you know, marked up on your head.
I watch Big 3 every week.
The biggest highlight they get is Royce White's walkout.
It's the one time.
The camera's cut away.
I saw no worse white.
I saw you out there as like an ant on the court, but no close-up.
Is that a... There's no conspiracies, but they're no coincidences.
What happened?
Can you say where the overlords at CBS get angry at Kwatinetz and Sean Bannon and Cube and the other owners of Big 3 and cut your contract?
I don't want to... As far be it from me, I don't want to get you guys in trouble.
royce white
No, I think that...
The Uyghurs, there are certain topics that are in the purview for even the CBS to allow me to speak on.
Steve Bannon is innocent, was way outside the purview.
And, you know, I try to strategically, you know, place the phrase on this side of my head because we play half-court, so I spend a lot of time with the left side of my head showing whether I'm on defense or off.
I try to be strategic and place it on the left side so they wouldn't be able to avoid it.
And they did show it, but they never spoke on it.
unidentified
It wasn't digitally marked out?
royce white
The commentators may not understand what's going on.
A lot of people don't understand everything that's going on in the world today.
steve bannon
I want to ask you before I move to politics and to your race and to the Fed and things you're interested in.
Maricopa County, you had, you've got the vested, you know, you're a recent member to the Republican Party.
You're running for the Republican nomination to take on Omar.
You've seen all the games that are played, right, in that convention in Minneapolis, right, in Minnesota.
They had you, they had a bunch of, Doug Wardle, a bunch of guys got the okey-doke, right, by the establishment.
In Maricopa County, the banking, corporate, and real estate interest got a full facial.
By MAGA.
And yet they won't turn.
The next ballot drop is 10 o'clock.
Is someone new to the Republican Party that's trying to build a new Republican Party that's inclusive nationalism and participatory populism?
How's that set with you, sir?
royce white
Well, I think we've got to get every never-Trumper out of the party.
And that purge needs to start with this election cycle.
unidentified
Do you think we need to purge the never-Trumpers out?
royce white
Every last one of them.
Look, what we're going to decide here in the next two years, four years, is very simple.
Do we want to have a country or don't we?
And those are the only two groups of people.
Take the Democrat and Republicans and throw it out the window.
Do you believe in having a country called America that has America's foundational values, or don't you?
It just so happens that the Republican side of things is the only party that has a remote sense of us having a country, but even within, there are a bunch of Republicans, insiders, establishment, that don't believe we should have a country.
at their heart.
steve bannon
Hang on, I'm lectured every night, because at the War Room in our headquarters in DC, we have CNN and MSNBC nonstop.
We have teams monitoring politics.
We're lectured every night, particularly MSNBC by Joanne Reed and Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow and the whole crowd over there, that not just the Republican Party, but the Trump movement and the Trump MAGA movement of the Republican Party is nothing but a bunch of cracker, xenophobic, white nationalists, and that only the Democratic Party is the natural home for all African Americans.
You don't agree with that?
Is Chris Hayes wrong when he's lecturing us?
Is our beloved Joanne Reed, with all her different wigs and hairdos, is she wrong every day when she's... When Joanne is... And I love Joanne.
We watch her every night.
I love her show.
She's lecturing us every day.
We're a bunch of white nationalist crackers.
Is she wrong, sir?
royce white
No, Joanne Reed is the quintessential sellout.
She's a sellout to her own people, first and foremost, be it the black community.
She doesn't want to be black.
She hates that she's black.
She wants to be a liberal white woman and she's very angry and aggressive towards the American movement because they won't allow her to be.
And and you know, but she's a sellout to the country and they know that there is an establishment That doesn't want us to have a country.
They want us to be a piggy bank to the party of Davos And they want us to be a tributary state to the CCP and they're completely okay with that because to them Sovereignty isn't an important an important issue.
It's not an important quality a trait for us to hold.
steve bannon
Okay, Minneapolis Where you're running for Congress is the center of many issues we've had over the last couple of years.
The Mr. Floyd situation, other situations, police.
The first time I saw you, I said, who's this guy?
You led a march that time, and you didn't take it down to George Floyd Square.
You went to the Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis.
The issues you talk about, the issues you run on, is that resonating?
In that community today, as you run for Congress, because I look at other Congress people, they're talking about a whole different set of issues than Royce White is.
Do you believe you're breaking through and people are starting to understand the issues you're talking about and why you think that what you want to focus on will take the nation in the right direction and you're the type of leader that ought to be at the forefront of this, sir?
royce white
Well, I think our issues are upstream from politics.
Our issues are cultural.
Our issues are moral.
They're spiritual.
The political manifestation of our country today as it stands in the circumstance here is all downstream from the culture.
And so I think much of what has happened today and why America is where it is is because the mainstream media establishment has done well to keep these issues out of the scope of what Americans find important.
Whether it be the Fed, whether it be trade, President Trump and yourself brought trade back into the forefront, but yet and still, many people in the community I come from in Minnesota, which is this little tiny corporate Fortune 500 stronghold, they still believe that globalism is great, that China's the great new horizon, and we all can ride that wagon home to Freedom.
But there is no freedom in China.
And that's the scary part.
When I talk to people in the community, I just ask them fundamental questions about ideas like freedom.
When the George Floyd thing happened, a lot of people in Minneapolis talked about freedom.
They talked about rights.
They talked about human dignity.
And I just asked them, you know, you get all your goods from a place where God be it, you say you want LGBTQ rights, but they banned effeminate men from television, and God bless them for doing it, but they didn't do it because they believe in God.
They did it because they see a war in the future with America, and they know that a weak population of men is not fit to fight a war against a formidable opponent.
So that, that's what I, I just try and talk to them about the real things, and if, and if I lose, I won't lose by becoming a Democrat, right?
We can't win.
If we become Democrats to win these elections, we don't really win.
steve bannon
Why all the consultants tell everybody that's running in these D plus, and by the way, I think it's a D plus, I think it's a 20, you've got to be, you have to be a Democrat lite to try to do it.
The consultants tell you that.
Why do you believe, first off, you can beat your opponent in the primary, and then why do you think you can take on Omar, who's, let's be brutally frank, she's one of the rock stars of the Democratic Party.
You would be taking on one of their biggest fundraisers, one of their biggest international media celebrities.
royce white
Yeah, well, like I said many times before, we live in the age of the double-cross and triple-cross.
The Star Tribune, which is the newspaper of record in Minneapolis, said that, for me to say globalism was a dog whistle for anti-Semitism.
But they most recently, through their support, the editorial board, through their support behind Don Samuels, who's running against Ilhan in the Democrat primary.
I mean, these are dangerous, scary times.
And what occurs to me is two things.
One is, the Republican establishment is the outer bastion of defense for New World Order.
They're the first line of defense.
The RINOs are the first line of defense for the New World Order.
Make no mistake about it.
They're protecting the Democrat establishment from real American candidates running against their stalwarts.
And secondly is that even more dangerous than Ilhan Omar, and I dislike her, she's the worst.
But don't be fooled.
Because the most dangerous people are the centrists.
The most dangerous- Why is that?
steve bannon
I've never heard- That's great.
Why is that?
royce white
The extremes are there to create a illusion of a caricature of opposition, a caricature of fear and a place that we don't want to go, and we're right to not want to go there.
But the real danger are the purveyors of the corrupt status quo.
The moderates, the sinner, the sinner that wants an ever-expanding center.
These are the people that we have to weed out.
This is Liz Cheney on one side, And let's say a Joe Biden type on the other, or what's my guy, Benny Thompson, another Senequan non-sellout.
steve bannon
We see this and they just put $30 million on Kerry Lake's head.
And you see this with Eric Reitens, they just destroyed him for $10 or $15 million.
When people like you that come up that are complex and try to take on the system, like Kerry Lake, like Donald Trump, like Eric Reitens, like yourself, What they revert to is the politics of personal destruction.
Here's how they do it.
They're not going to take you on by issues.
They're not going to debate Rice White about the Fed.
They're not going to debate you about trade because they understand you have the facts.
And when people listen, you can make a rational case that what they're going to do is what they do to Donald Trump and what they do to Eric Greitens and what they do to Joe Kent and what they do to Kerry Lake.
It's the politics of personal destruction.
OK, because the arguments you actually have to they're going to go up to low information voters.
Right?
With the mainstream media they've got, the legacy media, those TV networks in Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Star, and absolutely to try to destroy you.
They won't try to destroy Omar.
Look, she will carry water for them.
They don't like her, but she'll carry water for them.
You won't.
How are you going to combat?
And here's what the establishment come to say, hey, Royce Royce is a good man, he's a good man, but he can't win.
Carrie Lago, she can't win.
Eric Greitens can't win.
Donald Trump, remember in 1415, Donald Trump can't win.
Okay, they can't win.
They're going to say the same thing about you.
How do you combat that, and how do you convince people with no money, because you're going to be like Lake, and you're going to be like all of them.
It's a grassroots campaign, all lives hand-to-mouth.
How are you going to convince them that you actually can get this done?
royce white
It's not my job to convince them that we're gonna get this done.
The point is that at some point we have to take a stand and fight back with the truth.
If we fight with lies, then we can't have a real victory.
And so, you know...
The people of my community are hopefully going to start to see the yield from the politics that they've been sold with their French fries.
And they are starting to see that.
I think people are real apprehensive towards Ilhan Omar's policies, Keith Ellison, the Democrat Party, and I'll say this for the black community because race It's not the biggest issue, but it is a thing.
And the black community has been targeted in the political propaganda area.
That's why they vote 95% Democrat.
We're making huge headway there in Minneapolis.
Many, many, many black people in Minneapolis are no moss with the Democrat Party.
And I talked to them about real issues, and many of them, they don't like the CRT, they don't want their kids to be taught that the boys are girls and the girls are boys.
All of those things are starting to be pushed too far to where now even communities that traditionally voted Democrat are going to turn in a different direction.
So I think that's a great start.
But again, it's cultural.
It's cultural, it's cultural, it's cultural.
And what we have to do, in my opinion, is find our Christian roots.
Ministry.
Ministry, ministry, ministry is not just for the religious, it's also political.
We have to go into the communities that they've Roped off, given propaganda, and said, go loose, let chaos reign.
I can go into those communities.
The question is, will the outer state constituency accept my America First agenda?
And we have great traction outstate.
So, you know, I'm in a tiny district where there's 13,000 primary Republican voters.
They get to decide if they want to have a country or not.
In this primary, in our primary.
My opponent raised $2 million.
She doesn't have a nickel to rub together.
Why?
Because all the political operatives in the establishment robbed the campaign.
It was just a grift.
She was always the controlled opposition cut out to run against Omar.
I came late in the game and they tried to rally and make sure that I didn't get endorsed.
And even though they were backing her, the establishment, the people still almost endorsed me with a 46 to 64 hundred delegate vote.
So, you know, we're making headway, but we have to stay focused, keep our eye on the prize and stay true.
steve bannon
Let me leave the primary for a second.
When you go into the black community, particularly a place that's gone through so much of what MiniApp's gone through the last couple of years, when you talk populism, when you talk Federal Reserve, when you talk trade and jobs and kind of the mega-America-versus-agenda, do you get any intellectual pushback?
Do you feel like you're getting traction with the community, that they understand where you're coming from and see how you're trying to lead people and lead this country to something totally different that you don't see in mainstream politics?
royce white
No, I don't get any intellectual pushback, really.
I mean, mostly when I talk in, let's say, podcasts that are more local, more in the heart of the Minneapolis community, people are just surprised and appreciative to hear information that they've never heard before.
And, you know, I throw your name out there and I say, well, have you ever actually heard Steve Bannon talk?
Or are you just going to believe that he's a white supremacist because CNN told you?
And they kind of give me that deer-in-the-headlights look, and you know, I'm 6'8", 270, so I'm not easy to push around either.
And I just say, no, from a real standpoint, what do you think your citizenship means?
What value, how do you value your citizenship?
What is it?
Is it job opportunity?
Is it security?
Is it the ability to Be free to have individual rights?
What is it?
And then when I start to break down the deterioration or the devaluing or the decline of our American citizenship, they're open to it.
I said, why were we ever okay with our manufacturing being sent to another country?
Do you know how dangerous it is for essential medicines, essential Essential essentials of all sorts to be manufactured in a place that has declared war on us And they have declared an asymmetrical war on us economically and otherwise and they go well Well, what's gonna happen when you need a z-pack?
It's made in China.
unidentified
Now.
royce white
What if China says no more z-pack?
Do you think we should manufacture our medicines essential antibiotics in China?
No, we shouldn't.
Well, well, what do you think?
Well, where should we go?
When who's gonna bring them home the Democrats aren't Oh, well, that's not the only issue.
Well, let's go to the next issue.
You know, and we just keep going down the line, and you have to be invested in, and actually explaining these things their proper way.
Not going for the petty, uh, the petty, uh, token issues.
Uh, low regulation, low taxes.
That's been the Republican... Right there in the heart of CD5 in Minneapolis.
Low regulation, low taxes.
Guys, that's not what's, what's killing America.
steve bannon
It's 30 trillion dollars and 9 trillion on the Federal Reserve.
You're not going to have more tax cuts, any tax cuts.
unidentified
That's right.
steve bannon
Before we go, when you start talking about the Federal Reserve and the politics of money, which this country in the 19th century, all the way from Jefferson and Hamilton through Jackson and Lincoln, all the way to William James Bryant, until the Federal Reserve was started, the 19th century was about the politics of the control of money, who controlled the currency.
When you talk to people in the community and in the district, Did they, does that start to get traction about the importance of that Federal Reserve Bank in Minneapolis and how much control it has over their lives?
royce white
Well when I marched the 18,000 people to the Fed during the George Floyd issue, it was because my, you know, the police aren't the issue for black people.
That's just a complete scam.
The issue is an institution like the Fed that none of them even know about.
They drive past it every day, whether it's on the metro, or they bike, or walk, or whatever it is, right there on Hennepin Avenue, the main street of downtown Minneapolis, and the Fed's sitting there right on the corner on the river, across the street from Father Hennepin Park, across the water from Father Hennepin Park and John Baptist DeLaSalle High School that I attended.
Heresy.
I mean, to have the Fed and John Baptist De La Salle on the same block, that's the ultimate scam.
But most people don't even know what the building is.
And I said, listen, the Fed, since 2009, let's just make it a shorter time horizon.
They all said, look, we're going to give money.
We're going to print money so that it can go to increase wages.
We're going to increase the wages.
We're going to bring jobs.
And all of it went to the C-suite.
It all went to the hedge funds.
It all went to golden parachutes and bonuses.
And the American people lost jobs in turn because Wall Street in D.C.
had a quid pro quo to send the money that they inflated to China.
I mean, it's just the ultimate scam.
It's a Ponzi scheme.
steve bannon
You're going to co-host with me on Friday.
You're going to come and get a big game on Saturday.
What's your social media?
