steve bannon
This is what you're fighting for.
I mean, every day you're out there.
What they're doing is blowing people off.
If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power.
Because this is just like in Arizona.
This is just like in Georgia.
It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations.
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged.
As we've told you, this is the fight.
unidentified
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
War Room Battleground.
steve bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Welcome, you're at War and Battleground.
It is Tuesday, 9 August, Year of Our Lord 2022.
Huge primaries today, particularly in two states.
One of them is Wisconsin, the other is Minnesota.
Let's go to Doug Wardlow now.
He's running for Attorney General.
These AG seats are so incredibly important, particularly this one because the winner of this primary today will be going up against Keith Ellison.
Doug, give us an update.
How's it going today?
Only a short while before the polls close out there in Minnesota.
What's your day been like?
unidentified
Well, hi Steve.
Thanks for having me on.
Things are looking pretty good.
Been doing all sorts of last-minute campaigning.
We've got people on the phones.
I've been out doing door knocking out on the campaign trail right now, in fact, and we're going to be campaigning all the way through till the polls close at 8 p.m.
here in Minnesota to make sure that every single America First conservative voter gets to the polls because this is such an important race.
It's a referendum on America First conservatism in the state of Minnesota, and we need to win this race, this primary, so that we can go up against Keith Ellison and defeat him.
My opponent, he's a rhino, a weak moderate, doesn't want to say that the 2020 election was stolen.
He refuses to answer that question.
He doesn't think it was stolen.
He wouldn't do anything about election integrity.
So the contrast could not be more stark dark, but I'm feeling quite good about things on the ground.
We've got good reports coming in from all over the state.
I think turnout in greater Minnesota is going to be higher than in the metro area, and so a lot of the Republican base, conservative base, is in greater Minnesota, so that's good.
And things are looking pretty good, but it's going to be close.
We need everybody in Minnesota to get to the polls.
Call everyone you know to get to the polls, and let's win big, and send a clear message to the rhino establishment elites that they cannot force weak, moderate rhino candidates on the party And that the people of Minnesota want a strong, bold America First candidate to go up against Keith Ellison and defeat him.
steve bannon
Doug, here's what the audience has had a tough time struggling to understand, is why would the party out there, explain this to us, why would the party out there want somebody who's not an absolute killer, when Keith Ellison is not just a national figure, he's almost a global figure, given how radical he is.
I happen to think he's probably Next time, maybe Letitia James, the most radical attorney general in the country, maybe even more radical than Letitia James, if you think about it.
Why would they, first off, why would they select somebody as they did this kind of rig convention?
And then number two, how did they possibly think that this, particularly given the limited experience this individual has, how do they think they would ever go up against Keith Ellison?
unidentified
Yeah, that's a great question.
What I think it is, a lot of the state, the RINO elites, that control our state party.
They're set in their ways.
They like their little fiefdoms.
They have their little sinecures and they like the way things are.
And they don't want to have any bold conservative come in who's actually gonna take action.
Well, first of all, this was a beat Keith Ellison and then change the tone for the Republican Party of Minnesota, make it more conservative, make it America first, and then upset all the positions and things that they do within the party to kind of hold onto their power.
So it looks like they're more concerned about their power and their small fiefdoms and their smaller concerns than they are about beating Keith Ellison.
Right?
I think the fact that I came so close in 2018 to defeating Keith Ellison, we came within about three and a half points of beating Ellison in a very tough year for Republicans, got more votes than any Republican candidate has ever received in a midterm election in the history of the state of Minnesota.
And I think that scared them because they knew that if I had beaten Keith Ellison then, and maybe we did beat Keith Ellison, Because there's a lot of voter fraud and we came so very close in a tough year.
But that scared them.
And they do not want to see me in the Attorney General's office because they know that I will follow through on my promises.
They know I am a strong America First conservative.
They know I will take bold action starting on day one.
And that is frightening to the folks that like to keep on, hold on to their little pieces of power within the party apparatus.
They, it appears, would like to just continue losing, continue managing the decline of Minnesota, managing the decline of America, As long as they're in charge, they think that's just fine.
Well, that is terrible, and the people of Minnesota are going to speak up today at the polls and say that's not acceptable.
steve bannon
What is it specifically about, Keith?
I mean, Minneapolis, I've been there many times on business back in my investment banking days, one of the really the most lovely cities in the country, super nice people.
But now it's got a reputation of being unlivable and really ungovernable.
How does that happen under Keith Ellison?
And what I think the more impossible to understand is how can the Republican Party be?
How can they accept that?
How can they be happy with that?
unidentified
Right.
It's completely unacceptable.
And you're absolutely right.
Minneapolis is ungovernable.
Minneapolis, right now, in Minneapolis-St.
Paul and the cities, crime is out of control.
And Keith Ellison has done nothing, nothing at all, to deal with the problem of violent crime, to deal with the problem of human trafficking and drug crime.
We have that problem across our state.
And, you know, he's allowed a pervasive climate of lawlessness to take hold.
He's waging a war against the police, waging a war against the police.
He is prosecuted.
Uh, so many folks for police officers, rather police officers for.
Supposed crimes, but his office hasn't taken over the prosecution of any other kind of defendant with one exception.
And that one exception that I know of is a business owner who he prosecuted for violating the governor's unconstitutional lockdown edicts during the COVID situation.
So he's using the law as a weapon to go after his political enemies.
So it should be clear to the Republican Party and to everybody, all Republicans and all people, that we need to stop that.
We need to return to the rule of law.
We need to restore law and order in our state.
But unfortunately, some of the rhino elites that control our state party here seem to care more about themselves and their own power and their own small concerns than they do about the state of Minnesota.
steve bannon
OK, Doug, how do people in the closing hours here open?
The polls are open till eight central time.
How do people how do people get information if they want to turn out if they want to help at the last second?
Where do they go?
What's your social media and what are people doing?
I know you're going to run through the tape.
You're that type of guy.
unidentified
Absolutely.
We're running through the tape, so please get out to the polls and vote.
Get your family and your friends out to vote.
Call everyone you know in Minnesota.
Send text messages.
Tell them to vote for Doug Wardlow in the primary today.
If they're in line at 8 o'clock when the poll closes, they can vote as long as they're in line by 8 o'clock.
So go to the polls and vote.
Check out our website, which is dougwardlowag.com.
We're going to need a war chest after the primary to defeat Keith Ellison, so contributions are very much welcome, of course.
And take a look at social media.
Follow us there.
We're on Getter.
We are on Truth Social on Facebook and on Twitter.
steve bannon
Doug Wardlow, fight on.
We'll check in with you tomorrow.
Doug Wardlow, of course, we'll be watching all night on Getter.
Doug Wardlow running for AG.
These AG seats are incredibly important.
We're going to, in a minute, we're going to have Jim Marchant.
He's going to join us about the Secretary of State, but I want to go to Todd Bensman.
Todd, we've got a little more time to develop, and I wanted to have you before Marchant, because Marchant's putting together the coalition of Secretaries of State, and he's running for Secretary of State.
of Nevada, and we know how big an issue illegal alien voting is.
So I want to walk through, to walk me through, and take a second, this Federalist piece you had, we had you on this morning.
When you got off, people's heads were blown up because we had Oscar, you know, we had Oscar Ramirez on yesterday talking about the expulsion certificate In Mexico, I guess they've now given them expulsion certificates, these migrants that are coming through.
That means when they get into the United States, they can't be sent back.
Even if they're rejected, they can't be sent back to Mexico.
They have to be sent back to the country of origin.
So walk us through everything the Biden administration has done to create this, what you call, the superhighway.
todd bensman
Okay, well first of all, remember that 40 to 50 percent of all illegal immigrants who are reaching our southern border are from 150 countries other than Central America and Mexico.
It's the highest proportion in the history of the United States, in anybody's memory, of people from all over the world.
And the way they got here was through the Darien Gap jungle that separates Columbia from Panama.
It's a major bottlenecked corridor through there.
It took typically about 10 days To get through there, it was somewhat of a deterrent for years and years.
But we had about 140,000, the most in history, cross through there in 2021.
Huge numbers.
And people were dying.
The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, all suddenly discovered the Darien Gap in late 2021.
And they went down there and they did all these reports.
And they came back with You know, horror stories.
And right after that, the Biden administration began all this shuttle diplomacy, sending diplomats and Mayorkas and Blinken himself to Panama.
And right after these diplomatic visits, suddenly we saw the Panamanian, uh, it's, it's not a Navy, but, or a Coast Guard, but it's, it's their, It's their version of patrol boats on the coast.
Pull back and allow migrant smuggling boats to go further up the coast and shorten the trip.
steve bannon
Todd, can I just ask you a question?
We had a live report, I don't know, about two months ago from Oscar Ramirez and Ben Burkhorn.
They were down there and they talked about Mayorkas when he made the trip.
He showed up with almost a small fleet Yes, absolutely.
I think a black Apache helicopter, it looked like they were doing a survey down there right on this side of the Daring Gap.
Is that the time you're talking about that he was down there making these deals or making these relationships?
Was that when it happened?
todd bensman
Yes, absolutely.
Now in the weeks and months before that happened, that was when they shortened this route.
They created a new route and then in April they signed a bilateral agreement with the Panamanians that talked about better managing the migration flow in a humane and orderly manner.
They didn't say how, but what we see is the route shortened by seven or eight days and go through much friendlier terrain and less arduous mountains and rivers and that sort of thing so that more people can cross in a shorter period of time in a safer way.
Ostensibly.
And I do believe it probably will be safer, but already the bandits have discovered this route.
You can find reporting about people being sexually assaulted and all the usual things that happen there.
At the same time that they shortened the derrick, so just remember all the New York Times reporting and Washington Post, Wall Street Journal that you may have read a few months ago, obsolete now.
It's a short route, two to three days tops to get into civilization and then on your way to Mexico.
That's a meiorcus diplomatic initiative.
The other thing that Oster was talking about that's very closely connected to this.
Is because at the same time, Mayorkas and the state, the Blinken State Department were meeting with Mexican officials.
Lots of reporting about all these secret shuttle diplomacy going on with Mexico.
And then as soon as they pinned a deal with them, you had a fast pass visa system put into place.
Three different kinds of permission slips.
I won't get into the details of them all, but the bottom line is that now when those people come into Mexico, instead of getting blocked up by the National Guard, they're getting right in and straight to the U.S.
border.
Panama, Mexico, U.S.
border.
Superhighway.
steve bannon
This is what I don't understand.
The U.S.
government, should it be in the business of making it actually easier?
I think this is what shocks people.
Are they should be in the business of making it easier for illegal aliens or anybody to get up to the southern border and cross the United States?
I'm sure they make it not inhumane, but they're not in the business of creating a super high... I don't understand what the logic is unless it's to make sure that you flood the zone with illegal aliens and migrants.
Is there any other logical conclusion to that?
todd bensman
There is a mantra.
Listen to it.
When senior administration officials speak about immigration, illegal immigration, they always say these words.
Our goal is safe, humane, and orderly migration.
That is our goal of our policy.
Not blocking, stopping, reducing, shutting it down.
It's safe, orderly, and humane.
And they have accomplished that.
They have worked steadily toward that.
And when Mayorkas was asked recently, like a month or two ago, about, I think it was Brett Baier on Fox News said, hey, isn't any part of your policy have to do with deportation, the use of deportation?
And Mayorkas said, no.
What we want to do is make lawful American systems, the asylum system, available to everyone.
That's their goal.
That's their policy.
And they say it all the time.
Listen for it.
You'll hear them say that.
steve bannon
So what then is to be done?
I mean, you've laid out historic numbers.
I'd just like you to go through to let people know the historic scale of this already.
But what you're talking about, since they've created essentially a superhighway, is that this is only going to get worse, I take it.
And you're saying they understand that that's not worse for them, that's better because the plans actually Actually taking shape.
And when we sit there and start arguing about Title 42 and all these other things, we're missing the point because that's only on small marginalia and they may have already really have a workaround to get away from Title 42.
Am I correct in this kind of line of thinking?
todd bensman
I believe so.
And remember, you know, we talk, I spent a lot of time with the immigrants and I, you know, I'm on the road with them.
I've been down there a bunch of times.
And the thing that people need to recognize and remember is that when you make the Darien Gap shorter, and when you make Mexico hand out fast pass visas of all different kinds, the immigrant community, intending aspiring immigrants, send that out on their chat rooms.
They send selfies out.
The way is open.
So this is the reason why I believe the numbers that now will be coming through the Darien Gap will be greater than anything we've seen before because it's easier now.
Anybody can do this just about grandmothers and grandpas and children.
I think it's going to vastly increase the number of people that are coming through and If you just look at a percentage of people who will die, not just in the shorter Darien Gap and be victimized, but in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, the cartels, you're still going to have a lot of people die because of this.
It's not necessarily going to save lives.
And it's certainly not in the American national interest to have Unimpeded numbers of people flowing to the American border and getting in and onto buses and spreading out to all corners of the country into U.S.
unidentified
cities.
steve bannon
This is why, one of the reasons you saw the Redo Mar-a-Lago, this is what one of the things they hate the most about Donald Trump is about his focus on the sovereignty of our country and particularly the sovereignty of our southern border.
When you say vastly increased the numbers, just go through the numbers to date in the Biden administration and in your perspective the historic scale of that before we talk about the vastly increased numbers.
todd bensman
Well, in a typical bad year at the border, we might have 800,000 or maybe a million in a bad year be apprehended or arrested and processed at the southern border.
In a typical year, it might be half that, 500,000, something like that.
In the very first year of the Biden administration, 2021, we had More than $2 million across that border.
And in the six months since then, in a total of 18 months, we've had $3.5 million.
We're on track for $4 million by the end of the fiscal year altogether since the administration opened the gates, so to speak.
Of those, not all of them have been invited in, but we know for sure that at least 2.3 million have been entered into the country, paroled in, or got away through Border Patrol.
We know this by court filings in a lawsuit from Texas against the Biden administration, filings in that case.
So we're really looking at proportions and numbers that are beyond anything in the record books since the U.S.
started keeping records.
In fact, the rate of incoming over the U.S.
southern border exceeds the highest number that we ever saw coming through Ellis Island in 1907.
The number coming that were brought in through the famed Ellis Island are nothing compared to this.
And we just started A year and a half ago.
This is something that is really, truly historic as an event, as an American historical event.
And it's largely unrecognized, I think, yet, but history has a way of correcting things.
And this is a historic event.
unidentified
It is.
steve bannon
Of the 2.3, 4 million have gotten here, 2.3 million are remaining here.
Of the 2.3, but the 4 million is apprehended, right?
So my point is, of the 2.3 million, are you sure you're counting the gotaways?
Because aren't the gotaways on top of that?
Aren't those 2.3 million of the 4 that have been apprehended and then ushered into the country?
todd bensman
Well, it appears like that they have paroled in officially with papers Uh, and then what I would regard as an extra legal, uh, process that they came up with as an ad hoc, you know, we, we think we can do this.
So we're going to just let people in without being detained or put into removal proceedings.
About 1.3, 1.4 million of those we know from the filings.
And on top of that, we're looking at about 900,000 gotaways.
So I'm adding all those together.
That's by the government's admission.
steve bannon
Have you, but have you seen, I'm just asking you of the four, then let me go back to your other number, four million. If you had four million, you would literally be sending back every day thousands of people. My point is, have you seen any of that?
Is there any record of that at all?
Is there any footage or could you know any Border Patrol has seen literally 1.3 million, 2.7 million people turned back to go across the border?
Has that been reported in Mexico?
I just find that number astonishing.
Here's the thing, the government lies about every one of these numbers.
It just, if four million is the overall number, and 1.3 is the one paroled into the country, that's not including gotaways, I don't want to just leave those off to the side.
Todd, do you know of any incident, can you point me to any Border Patrol guy, any ICE agent, any Mexican official that's seen two point, you sent a couple of plane loads of Haitians back, I got that, a couple of Haitian plane loads, so you got, you know, two, three, ten plane loads, you got a thousand people.
You're talking about 2.7 million people.
I know how we got to the $4 million number because I've been looking at the calculation of every month.
It's this bigger than the army that hit Normandy Beach on June 6, 1944.
Is there any, any evidence whatsoever that the government's not lying about the 2.7 million?
They say that essentially they did not parole into the country, sir.
todd bensman
Well, remember when Biden entered office, He inherited Title 42, the instant expulsion for the pandemic.
That, under Trump, was 100%.
The reason we have the crisis that we have now is that on day one, the administration opened up exemptions, big, gaping, wide exemptions to Title 42.
Family units, pregnant women, and unaccompanied minors were just being let in from the beginning.
But singles and some families were still being pushed back under Title 42.
There was no consequence for that.
So they would turn around and come right back again and again and again.
And so a lot of the number of the 4 million, a lot of them could very well be the same people trying again and again.
The issue with that is, is that for every attempt, border patrol agents have to work.
They have to be there.
to work and process them.
And so the burden and the toll on our border patrol was just crushing.
And that also meant that they had to do a lot of processing duty, which opened the gate for the gotaways and runners.
So the number of runners went way up because of that.
But we were still pushing back probably 65, 70% Of everybody that we apprehended.
And they would just turn around and come back again and again.
I met them.
I saw them.
I would ask them, how many times have you tried?
Five times, six times, three times, four times.
Uh, so there, what that was happening in recent months, however, Steve is the, the proportion of pushbacks under title 42 has shrunk to about 35 to 40%.
Now they're, they've opened the exemptions even wider.
uh... for forty two title forty two is like barely there now uh... in in the the number of people that are being pushed back is is shrinking in probably an anticipation of lifting it entirely when they do lift that entirely and that will happen it's in there by court order right now but uh... when they do lift that entirely then watch out man cuz that superhighway that i talked about uh... they're already coming in on that thing and
Everybody then, 100% of everybody who crosses is going to claim asylum.
And a great proportion of them will be allowed to stay.
steve bannon
Just before you go, Adams is having press conferences, and they're in meltdown because a couple of busloads of illegal aliens get sent up from Abbott.
The mayor of Washington has called for the National Guard.
She was turned down.
Is this just all performative?
They're getting a couple of hundred, maybe a thousand illegal aliens, and they're in full meltdown.
We've got about a minute, Todd.
What are your thoughts on that?
todd bensman
Well, what I would say is that there is a conveyor belt roaring all day, every day, seven days a week of migrants that are being processed in and put on these buses and planes.
And flying all around to cities across the country.
And I can tell you that people have been on their own dime and under their own propulsion, have been heading to New York City for 18 months straight by the thousands.
New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, all of them have been going there.
So to hear the mayors of some of these cities complain about this now, It just defies belief.
Have they been living under a rock?
How could they not know that tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of immigrants have been landing in their cities for 18 months straight?
It has nothing to do with anything Abbott did or Ducey or anybody else.
They're not just landing in the East Coast either, the West Coast and everything in between.
steve bannon
Brother, can you give us your social media and how the people get to your book?
We've got about 20 seconds.
todd bensman
T. Bensman at Getter, and also you can find my work at Center for Immigration Studies, CIS.com, ToddBensman.com, and my book is America's Covert Border Warrior, right there behind me.
steve bannon
We'll push it all out.
Thank you, Todd.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
you Okay, welcome back.
steve bannon
Tuesday, 9 August, Year of our Lord 2022.
I want to ask Jim Marchant.
Jim, the reason I wanted to have you follow Todd Benson, you see the games that the Biden administration, serious deadly games of Biden administration's plan on really driving mass illegal immigration into our nation.
You are the head of the coalition of all the secretaries of state that are running.
You're also running for secretary of state in Nevada.
Uh, that has so many hardworking Hispanic Americans there.
And the last thing you want is to be the zone to be flooded with essentially cheap labor that drives down prices and also drives down labor, you know, labor salaries.
In addition, you've got this problem with, with, with voting.
In addition, you've just shown me, I think a pressure you guys are putting out.
That you're challenging the Biden administration.
The Biden regime has come up with these executive orders that nobody really fully understands, except for you, that looks like they can intrude into the November 8th election.
So first of all, I'd like your thoughts about what's happening with the illegal alien invasion of this country, with all the tricks they're playing, all the games they're playing.
And then I want you to tell the audience what's really going on about the election in November.
jim marchant
Yeah, you're exactly right.
The illegal alias that are coming in are a huge issue when it comes to voting.
Here in Nevada, the DMV registers everybody.
And so that means the illegals, they don't check.
They're relying on the Secretary of State to do the checking and either kick them off the voter rolls or not, which they're not doing.
And I promise you that's something that I will do when I get in.
We're going to use every option to Make sure that everybody that registers is legal to register, is a citizen of the United States.
So that's a huge issue.
And it's a result of the open borders.
I mean, everybody knows what a disaster that is down there.
I mean, your previous guest here illustrated it perfectly.
So we have huge problems.
I think you said that elections have consequences and rigged elections have catastrophic Consequences and that's a perfect example of why and then what happened two days ago when with that bill that was passed authorizing 80,000 more IRS agents, you know, spending 400 and something more million or billion dollars.
I forget what it is, but anyway, and then rating Mar-a-Lago.
It's all a result of us not paying attention to our election system and let And we've got to fix it.
And that's exactly what we're doing with this coalition.
And we're fighting like crazy out here to solve the problem.
And the way to solve it is to get America First Secretaries of State candidates in there, just like the other side, Soros and Harry Reid, figured out in 2004.
And that's exactly what we're doing.
And they're scared to death of what we're doing, especially what we're doing here in Nye County in Nevada.
We actually are going to have a county vote on our new election system in November.
We were able to get our our clerk appointed last Tuesday, actually a week ago today.
Interim clerk and he's going.
He were putting together actually a unbelievable new system.
Very simple, very transparent that is going that we're going to roll out all over the country and first in my county.
Happened in November, so it'll be the first county to have this new system in November and they are scared to death of this.
Our Secretary of State here in Nevada is trying to circumvent what we're doing by adding some regulations to stop some of the things that we're going to implement in this new system.
And we're going to invite all the people of Nevada that's watching right now to comment during the comment period.
Uh, that they have advertised and we got to tell them that, uh, you know, leave us alone.
Let us, let us build the most secure, uh, transparent, simple election system that the country has right now.
And that's what we're going to do.
And, um, and you know, we're going to fight like crazy to make this happen.
And, you know, thank you for helping us too.
We really appreciate it.
steve bannon
Well, no, this is absolutely incredible.
Just the core of this system.
Is this system, I take it, going to be without machines?
We're actually going to have paper ballots and count them.
Is that what you're putting in Nye County that you think you can roll out throughout the state?
Talk to us about that.
What are you putting in Nye County?
How are you going to roll out through Nevada?
And why do you think this is a prototype for the United States?
jim marchant
Yes.
So, yes, it is without machines.
We're going to, we might have some machines just to get around some ADA restrictions and Regulations, but yes, it's going to be predominantly without machines.
We're going.
The primary system is going to be our paper ballot system and with any counterfeit measures built in and it's going to be voting on a precinct level basis and so we can get the boats counted in a timely manner.
We've got tremendous support from the community in my County.
Just tons of people are volunteering.
We want to help, so we're not going to have a shortage of people.
That can help us make this happen.
But yes, we can roll this out not only all over the state of Nevada, but we're going to roll it out all over the country.
This is a new system that our coalition hopefully will adopt, and we'll put this out all over the country.
And if we do, we stop some of the things that happened two days ago with the bill that passed in the legislature, and then the rating of Mar-a-Lago, things like that.
You know, tell me how what happened in Mar-a-Lago is different than what, you know, Hitler did with his brown shirts.
I just, it's scary where we're going right now.
steve bannon
Jim, explain to people, there's a lot of confusion.
These executive orders or things have been passed in bills.
I think you guys put it in press release.
Where do we actually stand?
With the Biden regime's trying to intrude into what is a state process.
You're running to be the Secretary of State of Nevada.
Now, you're running in a coalition with other people who try to all say, hey, we're putting forward the same program.
But Christine Karama, Mark Fincham, they will be responsible for Michigan and Arizona, respectively, as they run their states by, you know, what is acceptable, what's passed in the states.
People are confused.
What has Biden actually done?
Because there's a lot of rumor out there, and you're always the best clearinghouse to kind of get it straight.
Tell our audience right now, as you see it, they have the coalition.
What is the Biden regime trying to do?
jim marchant
Well, if you remember a while back, they tried to pass a bill, maybe Clyburn, maybe down in South Carolina, that would federalize and centralize the election system nationally.
This is just another effort that they're doing by just using executive orders to Uh, centralize the election system, uh, throughout the country.
And you're right.
steve bannon
We've got this.
This was hang on, hang on, hang on.
This was, uh, you know, Senate bill one or house bill one that didn't even have any opportunity to come to a vote because it was so over the top.
So insane.
Everybody has said this, even Democrats said we can't bring this thing forward.
You're saying after that, which had basically a federal grab.
Exactly, exactly.
jim marchant
Their goal is to centralize our election system across the country into Washington, and we cannot let that happen.
I mean, you know, we've got the Tenth Amendment, we've got to exercise our rights, and that's what they're doing.
They're using executive orders now to do that, and I just wanted everybody to be aware of that.
So, you know, we're on top of it.
We understand what's happening, and that's why our coalition is so important to keep exposing what's going on.
But that's their goal, is to centralize the election system so they have 100% control.
They can stop people like myself in Nye County and the commissioners there and the clerk there.
They can stop them from being able to decentralize the election system around the country.
We've got to be aware of that.
And that's exactly what's happening.
steve bannon
Jim, talk to us about pulling the party together, your own race in Nevada.
Talk to us about Nevada.
Do you have, um, do you have, uh, are the, are every, is everybody coming together?
Are you still being thwarted like you were in the primary by the Republican establishment?
jim marchant
Yeah, I still have some issues with the Republican establishment and, uh, we're having issues with that.
I think.
A lot of us America First candidates around the country are having that issue, but we will overcome it.
We've got a really good chance to win this in November.
My opponent is a Harry Reid aide and lawyer, so that's what we're up against.
We've got a battle.
They're well-funded.
That is a huge issue for us America First candidates.
We don't have the funding that they do, but we We will prevail, I believe.
I think the people understand what's going on.
And, you know, we've got a call to action, and I did a press release this morning, a call to action for America First candidates and actually elected officials to come together and let's understand what's going on right now so that we can make sure we don't fall in a trap.
Because, you know, the things that have happened the past two days are pretty disturbing.
We need to be aware of what's going on and make sure we don't fall in a trap, like I said, and prepare for what they're trying to do.
unidentified
So, yeah.
steve bannon
I know you have more than just Secretary of State, but just roughly, how many Secretaries of State now are part of the coalition?
jim marchant
We had as many as, I think, a little over 20, but the primaries have happened and some of ours didn't win.
I think we're around 8 or 10 right now, and they're still alive.
We've got myself and Mark Fincham, Christina Karamo in Michigan, Diego in Indiana, Jay Schroeder in Wisconsin.
We just lost last week one of our guys in, I think, Nebraska.
Anyway, we've got a bunch of good people, and if we can get some of us elected, we will fix our country.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Uh, Jim, where do people go first?
I'll find more about your Nevada race.
Number two, uh, the coalition.
And I want to make sure everybody gets access to these press releases you're putting out because you're giving people heads up on this big issues, particularly, particularly the Biden administration.
Remember Democrats can't win if they don't cheat.
And right now they're trying to do everything in the world, particularly these executive orders to intrude in the November election.
jim marchant
They are throwing everything they've got at us.
America first candidates, just lying.
Which, you know, is fully expected.
But, you know, we've just got to fight through it.
I'm a fighter.
You're a fighter.
We're going to fight through this.
And, yeah, so just to stress again how important the coalition is, you know, we need help with volunteers.
Anybody that's listening in the states that have candidates that are still going, reach out to us and we'll get the word back to the candidates.
And certainly funding.
We need the war room possibly to step up and And contribute to the coalition.
All of that, 100% of that money goes to the candidates.
And we need it.
We don't have a George Soros, and it really, really helps us.
So I'd like to ask the War Room Posse to step up and help us.
And you get to that website as SOS4America.com.
SOS4America.com.
And I could certainly use some help, too, in my race in Nevada.
And it's JimMarshant.com.
And everybody reach out to us and volunteer and contribute everything you can.
And we're in the battle of our lives.
It's a battle of good and evil right now.
And there's a lot of evil and it's hard to overcome.
And we really need the help of everybody out there.
And I'd like to thank everybody that's contributed and stepped up so far.
It's really made a difference and it's going to help us prevail in November because that's what they're afraid of.
They know that what we're doing is going to enable us to not allow them to have the power that they have right now.
They are oppressing us in almost everything in our lives right now, and we've got to stop that.
And the way to do it is to get us America First candidates, Secretary of State candidates elected, and then we have a fair and transparent election all over the country.
And that's the name of the game.
If we do that, we fix our country.
steve bannon
No, but if they can't cheat, they can't win.
So if you have Secretary of State like Marchant and Fitchum and Cristina Caramo and others of this ilk, Diego, you're going to have fair elections.
And then it's whoever wins, wins.
First past the post.
And you'll find out that, you know, 89% of the time it's going to be the MAGA America First candidate.
That's why they're throwing up everything because they're scared to death we're going to get to free and fair elections.
And they understand that that's the end of the Radical Democratic Party.
You agree with that, Brother Jim Marchand?
jim marchant
Oh, 100%.
I am convinced that Nevada is a red state if we have a fair and transparent election.
And like you said, I'm not looking and our whole coalition is not looking to tilt the playing field one way or another.
We want it perfectly level.
We want it transparent.
And by the way, we're in our system.
I'd like to announce it on your show at some point when we when we finalize all of the details.
But we're going to have cameras.
We're going to have live streaming.
We're going to have people watching everything.
And there's nothing that's not going to be transparent in our system.
And that's the name of the game.
Right now, the people do not trust our election system around the country.
And we've got to gain that confidence back.
And the way to do it is to simplify it, get rid of the machines, because, you know, everybody knows computers can be hacked.
And so that's why we've got to get rid of them and go back to the basics and hand count paper ballots with any counterfeit measures that have watermarks, holograms, other proprietary technology in them.
That's what we've got to go to, and that's exactly what's got the other side scared to death to the point they're doing these executive orders and trying to centralize the election system to Washington.
So we are not going to let that happen.
steve bannon
Jim Marchant, American patriot.
Thank you, brother, for joining us here in the War Room.
jim marchant
Thank you, Steve.
Really appreciate it.
Thank you.
steve bannon
This is what Battleground's all about, Marchanti, Secretary of State races, AG races, the House races.
I mean, this thing is getting intense.
And I will tell you, when you come up with a solution like he has in Nye County, they go, they're apoplectic.
The Biden administration is trying to, if you think they're playing games on the southern border and there, it's just horrific.
And I still don't, you know, from Bensman, I'm going to double check some numbers tonight.
I'm not, I'm not quite buying.
4 million across, and 1.3 million they waved in, and 2.7 million none.
We monitor this virtually daily.
I don't remember 2.7 million.
I realize we had Title 42, etc.
Let's go ahead and play.
We got a clip from CPAC.
Go ahead and play my clip.
One last thing.
The biggest scam they have, the biggest con, is not just the appropriations process and how they fund it.
It's the Federal Reserve.
Okay?
Okay?
0.5% of the citizens of this country own more assets than the bottom 90%.
That's all happened over the last 10 years since 2008.
You know, we took a monetary base of, what, back in the 80s of, what, $800 billion?
The balance sheet of the Fed was $880 billion under President Bush, right?
The balance sheet of the Fed is $9.5 trillion today.
The debt's $30 trillion.
We have $100 to $150 trillion of contingent liabilities, all just because we're the prime reserve currency.
The greatest export we have is the dollar.
But all of that rests on the shoulders of our children and our grandchildren.
unidentified
Those are all due bills that are to come due.
steve bannon
All we've done is crank up, we've just cranked everything up.
That's why they're talking about these ridiculous, insane bills of trillions of dollars.
Because the Federal Reserve will print the money.
The Federal Reserve, by the way, that's owned not by the American people, a central bank that's owned by 24 prime brokers, being JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
How does that work?
And governors, they're kind of selected, but, you know, 12 years?
And the best governor we've had in the Federal Reserve, right here in Dallas, Richard Fischer, who told you what was going to happen by going in negative interest rates, told you what was going to happen by printing all this money and having $4, $5, $6 trillion, $7 trillion, $8 trillion, now $9 trillion on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve?
It's going to cause, you talk inequality, it's not a $15 minimum wage, that's tip money.
We have, I think M2 today is what, 22 or 23 trillion dollars.
That's how the administrative state pays for itself.
We don't need to audit the Fed, we need to end the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve has usurped, has usurped, has usurped its power and the power of the American people and our elected representatives.
And no, they do not have the consent of the Governor.
We will not comply, we will not submit, and it must be ended.
In closing, let me just remind you, from the founding of this nation up to the founding of the Federal Reserve, for those hundred years, Hamilton versus Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay, Teddy Roosevelt, William Jennings Bryan, the whole concept of 19th century is almost entirely the politics of money.
It was actively debated what the currency was.
Who controlled the currency?
What was a central bank?
Who controlled the central bank?
After the Federal Reserve reform, we've lost that.
That is going to be one of the, if not the most major issue we have.
We have to end the Federal Reserve.
We have to turn it back.
That central bank is going to be owned by one group.
You know who that group is?
The American people.
The American people.
Not a bunch of fat cat prime brokers on Wall Street.
Not guys like, not third-tier bankers from fifth-tier firms like Powell.
You're going to have the American people control their own bank and their own currency.
Okay, right there, the politics of money.
We're going to get back into that tomorrow morning at 10 a.m.
My CPAC speech, we're going to break down.
Plus, many of the interviews we did at CPAC, including from you, the deplorables, the War Room Posse.
