Speaker Time Text

We did succeed in planting the seeds of doubt in our system.
So here we are over a year and a half later and those seeds that were planted by then the most powerful man on earth, conspiracy and victimhood and doubt in the system, those seeds have sprouted and spread to every corner of our country.
We can never allow an election to be stolen like that.
Oh, and this isn't some, like, right-wing fringe movement who believes this.
71% of Republicans, when asked, say that they don't think that Joe Biden actually won the 2020 election fairly.
71%!
When literally, there is no evidence for that.
Trump's allies at all levels of power would build a plan.
A plan to ensure that this legal flop that happened in 2020 would never happen again.
The scam will be before the United States Supreme Court.
This is rampant corruption and it can't happen.
It simply can't happen.
Welcome to the multi-layered Republican strategy to retake America from the ground up.
A widespread and pretty sophisticated movement to infiltrate This.
The strategy is to challenge votes at every level of the system by claiming widespread voter fraud.
Especially focusing on Democratic precincts.
Something that, to be crystal clear, there is zero evidence for, but that 70% of Republicans think is real.
The strategy starts with recruiting.
Calling voters to get involved here, at the lowest level, where your vote is cast and initially counted.
Recruiting often looks like this.
This is a Save America newsletter that Trump sent out to his followers back in February.
Trump calls his people to mobilize at the lowest level, the precinct level, to influence how elections are run.
We can take over the party if we invade it.
Trump says that this is key to, quote, taking back our great country from the ground up.
Recruiting is also happening big time in right-wing media, especially on Steve Bannon's podcast.
steve bannon
We're taking this back village by village, precinct by precinct, and they can't stop it.
unidentified
Bannon has been telling his legions of listeners to defend America by signing up to work at their local precincts on Election Day.
steve bannon
We're taking action.
And that action is we're taking over school boards, we're taking over the Republican Party from the precinct committee strategy, we're taking over all the elections.
Suck on this!
unidentified
I'm going to show you what the end goal is here, because it's pretty nuts.
But first, I want it to be clear that this recruiting is actually working.
Name me another nation on Earth After Bannon's battle cries on his podcast, ProPublica found that 8,500 new Republicans signed up for low-level precinct positions in 41 of the 65 counties they contacted.
ProPublica found that there was no such surge among Democrats.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let's just pause for a second and get some perspective here before we freak out.
Yes, this is scary.
Conspiracy-minded poll workers and election monitors sowing doubt and creating a legal nightmare.
That's pretty worrisome.
But these are like low-level election workers.
They're like the worker bees on election day.
Certainly, there have to be protections in the system to ensure that these bad actors can't sabotage our elections just because Steve Bannon told them to.
Oh, they've got a plan for that.
Don't you worry.
The precinct strategy is just one piece of this.
There are lots of pieces that are being put in place.
Oh.
Okay.
steve bannon
We're taking a hundred seats, and we're going to govern for a hundred years.
unidentified
The next part of the plan focuses on the technical, bureaucratic roles that each state has to run its elections, the county commissioners and secretaries of state.
And again, like the poll worker precinct strategy, this part of the strategy is in response to what Trump failed to do in 2020.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome.
It is Thursday, 22 September in the year of our Lord 2022 in the paper of record.
And I realize a lot of people don't like the content and think it's too progressive or too left-wing.
But when they do something, they do it right.
That is the best.
It's a 30-minute video, brilliantly made.
And if you take out all the shots they're taking at you, this audience, it's a pretty good summary of what we've been doing.
Boris, I'm going to bring you in first.
And I want to say in the second hour, we're actually going to talk about the manifestation of this with data and numbers with a young man named Alex Degrassi.
We also got Richard Barris.
We're going to take you for one hour and go through the battleground states, the battleground precincts on congressional districts, some Senate, but really focus on the House.
I think it will blow you away.
And so we've really taken a lot of time to put this together.
It's all predicated upon this.
We're also going to do a deconstruction of the New York Times piece because it was so, I think, kind of brilliantly made.
And we want to make sure as we open it up, we have an open conversation.
With people.
And in fact, Tiffany Pilefko from Loudoun County is going to be right after Boris.
And guess what?
She's one of the people that heard the call to action and she's running for school board.
So they're right.
It's many different layers.
Boris, you've been here from the beginning.
In fact, the night we talked, Late that night at 3 or early morning on the 4th and you were on a plane I think the next day out to Arizona.
As you've seen this, as you've seen it come back, it really is and I think it's one of the reasons the left is so freaked out.
And I said this on about 16 and really Bill and Breitbart, I kind of took my lessons Off of Barack Obama's come-from-nowhere win in 2008 against Hillary Clinton, those primary wins.
He was an organizer.
He got organized at the local level.
Hillary Clinton, they dismissed him.
He ran as an anti-war populist, and he won because he galvanized people.
It's always at the grassroots level.
That was Trump in 2016.
That's Obama.
The lessons in modern political history, it's not money.
It's organization, and it's passion, and it's intensity.
And I think that's what got the left freaked out.
I'm not sure they've really seen the intensity of the passion.
Boris Epstein, give us your thoughts on that first.
boris epshteyn
Steve, an honor to be with you.
Love to see you on video, looking good as always.
The Robert Redford impersonation getting truer and truer.
So whatever it is you're doing, it's working, that's for sure.
steve bannon
Stop.
I hate when you say that.
boris epshteyn
I know.
It makes you tear up.
Here's what I found most interesting about the video.
Not only are they obsessed with us, they're also trying to dress like us.
That guy was pretty much wearing a war room uniform.
unidentified
He hasn't shaved.
He's looking like a member of the posse.
steve bannon
But I'll say this, he did, if he's the producer, they really did a good job, because they did break it down, and hey, what they're saying is essentially, if you take out all the, that were conspiracy theory and they're all wing nuts, I mean, yeah, he really walked through and they broke it down in a very sophisticated way so you can understand it, and hey, we believe in democracy, we're populist.
boris epshteyn
Let me break it to ProPublica, let me break it to the New York Times, let me break it to, you know, the liberals, the radicals, the rhinos, the establishment.
We are not messing around, okay?
We are going to make sure that democracy is followed in 22 and 24, and we're still going to continue to fight to get 2020 right and cured.
Because Mark Elias, Sussman, Perkins Cooey, the DNC and others, Tried to steal 2016 and failed, and then tried and succeeded in stealing 2020, flooding the ballots, gutting the checks.
So we are wise to it, we are smart to it, we've shown the brightest projector, you know, a billion watt light on it, and we are not letting it go.
So the Democrats have been stealing elections in this country for hundreds of years, and yes, hundreds of years.
We are here to stop it.
We're not letting it go.
It ain't 1964.
Okay, it ain't Joe Kennedy and Chicago and West Virginia and Texas being allowed to do whatever they wanted.
That time is over.
The precinct strategy?
Men and women of our country, patriots, getting involved at every level of government, and MAGA candidates up and down the block, up and down the ballot, under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, are not going to allow the Democrats to keep stealing our elections.
That time is over.
And yes, thank you for making the videos, thanks for the PR, and thank you for trying to imitate the war room and the war imposter.
steve bannon
By the way, I can tell the guys, the strategy is pretty simple.
A lot of it is with Junkin, and you see this.
Number one, get 96% or 95% of people to be poll workers or election officials and judges.
So we're flooded around the green table, right?
But they're American citizens, so all he wants is transparency, right?
And make sure there's certifiable votes.
These are chain of custody votes, nothing.
And they're actually right.
We're training people to make sure that you see that.
The other is to have 100% turnout.
As you remember, Boris, 100% turnout, all MAGA voters.
All MAGA.
We've got to represent.
And then you've got the suburban moms who hate what's happening in the schools.
And Tiffany Palofko is a perfect example.
And a lot of these women are independents.
Democrats, and a lot of them, are not crazy about President Trump.
That's fine.
That's the coalition.
And that's what the focus is, the maniacal focus, to turn that out and make sure we turn it out.
Boris, before I get to the legal, because I know you're kind of involved in overseeing all that, I want to ask you about capital markets.
And because I haven't had you on here for a couple of days, talk about stocks as you're a street guy.
You know, Powell, it's now, they're going to go up to 4.4% it looks like.
Atlanta Fed is saying the third quarter is going to be negative.
You know, companies, all the companies are saying now this thing is going to be awful.
It's going to be a hard landing.
You see now we're just a few points above 30,000.
Give us your assessment of what you're seeing.
And by the way, in Washington, D.C., we had a vote on, they're talking about a $2 trillion deficit.
Well, the fiscal policy is annihilating the monetary policy.
The monetary policy doesn't know whether it's coming or going.
And so, you know, yes, hard landing, all those metaphors.
Sir.
boris epshteyn
Well, the fiscal policy is annihilating the monetary policy.
The monetary policy doesn't know whether it's coming or going.
And so, you know, yes, hard landing, all those metaphors.
Here's the bottom line.
We don't have a functioning economy in this country.
We don't have a border in this country.
We are now, we're no longer energy independent.
We have full-spectrum energy dominance under President Trump.
We had a secure border under President Trump.
We had an economy that was pumping, and even through the China virus, rebounded.
But because of the Democrat, Radical, and Joe Biden's overspending, because of an absolute lack of any sort of vision from the Fed, We now have a country effectively in freefall.
And what you're seeing in the markets is, you know, it's not just stagnation.
You're seeing a complete desperation, really.
And yeah, there's some dead cat bounces and bear rallies and all that.
But, you know, and I'm sorry for Jim Cramer and all his positivity.
There's no positivity out there.
It is all red and there is nowhere to hide.
We'll have the random days with the stock market that Dow Jones down six, seven hundred.
Nowhere to hide.
The inflation's run away.
The gas prices are going back up.
And by the way, once Joe Biden is done stealing petroleum from the strategic reserves, those prices are going to skyrocket back up to levels we probably haven't even seen.
So it is a very dark picture out there.
steve bannon
And so much of this is what we call sticky.
The things that are going to hit the American people now is not people, forget trying to buy a house.
I'm talking about credit card debt, particularly long-term credit card debt.
That's going to skyrocket because you got the 10-year Treasury And then the real estate is going to go into a total recession.
boris epshteyn
And now the interest rates are up.
Who's buying?
steve bannon
Well, the 10-year Treasury going up, remember, the world's money is voting, is not saluting to Biden's plan.
That's why the 10-year Treasury is on fire.
So you've got the credit card debt, you're going to have the car loans, you're going to have the repossessions be bigger, and you're going to have the rents.
In Metro Phoenix, the inflation's not 13%, it's actually 18%, and the rents are on fire.
People are just not going to be able to afford to live.
I'm telling you, this is going to be the death blow to the Democratic Party.
It's an ugly scene.
Ugly scene.
We'll have more reports.
boris epshteyn
It's an ugly scene, and you're going to see it.
And by the way, all this talk from the Democrats, oh, there's enthusiasm.
That enthusiasm is dead.
There's no enthusiasm for the Democrats.
Hundred seats, hundred years, winning the Senate, marching to 24th to win for President Trump.
steve bannon
But the one enthusiasm, they're all over NBC, they're spiking the football.
This is the end of Trump.
Trump's finished.
I'll get to Tish James in a second.
But the special master, the investigation will start tomorrow.
Just put it in perspective.
We have Mike Davis on the phone.
Where exactly do you guys stand?
boris epshteyn
So the initial order actually just came out a few minutes ago from the Special Master.
He's already shown to be moving toward President Trump and his legal team.
Significant amount of time to review documents on a rolling basis, with President Trump's team actually getting the first look, first review of those bases.
The judge also, Judge Deary, the Special Master, asked about any potential planting of evidence and other information.
You've already seen this order that just came out today is not what the mainstream media hoped for before the hearing on Tuesday or after the hearing.
And then in terms of the 11th Circuit, very narrow decision there to stay the injunction against using the 100 documents that they have marked claim as classified using those in any investigation.
But here's the issue.
The 11th Circuit, the three-judge panel, completely misunderstood the Presidential Records Act.
Under the PRA, classification does not matter.
It is fully in the hands of the president, whether the record is presidential or personal, and of course, no enforcement mechanism whatsoever.
The raid was illegal, unconstitutional, unwarranted, and absolute weaponization of law enforcement against President Donald J. Trump.
steve bannon
I know you're busy, but if you could please stay through the break.
boris epshteyn
Absolutely.
steve bannon
We got a couple more questions.
For you and the posse, anything!
I want to talk about, we haven't seen you in so long, I want to talk about Letitia James.
We're going to take a short break.
We've got Ben Burquandt back over at FAIR, okay, about border security and immigration, illegal aliens being out of control.
We've got Tiffany Palofko, who is actually running for the school board up in Lowndes County.
She's one of these people that have heard the trumpet call and is now getting actively involved.
We're going to have the candidate running down in El Paso, Texas, and a lot more here in the War Room.
unidentified
down the T. T. E.
Day of all life.
War Room.
Pandemic. With Stephen K. Bannon.
The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
War Room. Pandemic.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, the Politico lead story earlier this afternoon that the more they come after President Trump and particularly like Letitia James these people coming at him in crazy town the more his, the more not just his base consolidates but the Republican establishment comes around to defending Boris Give me, I know you're jammed for time.
Just give me a couple of minutes on this New York situation that, you know, Mike Davis is on today and he read through the New York Times.
The New York Times has kind of blown it off.
What are your thoughts, sir?
Hey Boris, you got to unmute yourself.
Okay, hang on.
Boris, you know how to use the technology?
He's not on.
Okay, fine.
Let's go, let's go to, is it got Ben Burquham?
Let's go to Ben real quickly.
Hey Ben, tell us once he's still at fair, do you have Sheriff Lamb?
ben bergquam
I do.
I've got one of the American patriots, the people that put their life on the line every single day.
Sheriff, talk to us why this event is so important and what can American people do for you?
unidentified
Hey Steve, sorry I missed you yesterday.
You know what the American people can do is hold these elected officials accountable.
Look, the amount of human trafficking and drugs that are coming into this country is unprecedented.
And we can't keep electing the same people that have put us in this problem, the same people that have failed to secure our southern border, the same people that continue to turn a blind eye to it.
Our president hasn't even acknowledged the leading cause of death amongst Americans right now, which is fentanyl.
He hasn't even talked about it.
So clearly they don't care about the American people and they're not interested in immigration or stopping the human trafficking and drug trafficking.
steve bannon
Ben, ask the sheriff right now.
Is this a crisis that has been created essentially by the Biden administration?
unidentified
You know, yes, yes.
But let me preempt that.
Let me just caveat that because this has always existed.
We've always struggled with trying to secure our borders.
That's just part of, you know, having a country.
You have to protect your borders.
So I don't want to say that this didn't exist before he took office.
But I can certainly tell you that his policies have exasperated the problem.
We were at 400,000 apprehensions a year under President Trump in his last year, and now we're at 2 million apprehensions.
So the mere numbers tell you that their policies have really just thrown gas on this fire.
So I blame them for this, the amount of human trafficking, the raping of the women, the children being used as pawns.
I blame them for the fentanyl deaths.
Because it's happening on their watch.
steve bannon
Sheriff Lamb, you're a pretty straightforward guy and you know how to communicate to the American people.
Just give us the one, two or three things that Sheriff Lamb would recommend right now, the actions we have to take to basically end this crisis.
unidentified
Yeah, it's not a party issue.
It shouldn't be about Republican or Democrat.
This is an American issue and caring about human beings just because of the amount of human beings that are being abused on the border.
So what we need to do as Americans is let our voice be heard.
We've got to reach out to our elected officials.
Tell them you're not okay with the human trafficking and the drug trafficking.
Stop listening to the news and the politicians.
The people who you think you can trust are the ones lying to you the most.
You're being gaslit by them.
They're not telling you the truth.
So you've got to reach out to those politicians.
And for many of you, you're going to have to get active in your community.
You're going to have to get a little uncomfortable.
I always say, you've got to be willing to do the uncomfortable work to be successful.
And we need you to be uncomfortable right now as Americans and let your voice be heard.
Abraham Lincoln says, to sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.
We can't be cowards anymore.
We've got to let our voice be heard, especially to our politicians.
And November is the perfect opportunity to send a clear message that we're not okay with this.
Let's send a lot of these people packing, and let's get America First candidates in there.
steve bannon
Sheriff Lamb, honored to have you on here.
You're a hero and a patriot.
Ben, thank you very much.
We'll come back to you.
Sheriff Lamb, thank you so much.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
God bless you, brother.
steve bannon
Thank you, man.
Let's go, we got Boris back.
And also, we've got the candidate from El Paso, Texas, where we built the wall.
Just incredible.
She's running an incredible campaign.
Also, Tiffany Palofko, she's running for school board.
Boris, do we have you back?
Have you learned how to work the technology?
boris epshteyn
You've got me.
steve bannon
Believe it or not, I wasn't on my side.
A couple days off doing the show, and next thing, you've got to be retrained?
That's OK.
That happens in the war room.
boris epshteyn
I take the Robert Redford comment back.
steve bannon
That happens on our production staff.
I give them the weekend off, and they've got to be retrained on Monday.
boris epshteyn
The Robert Redford comment is hereby rescinded.
unidentified
No.
Okay, tell me about Letitia James.
steve bannon
Tell me about Letitia James and this obsession with President Trump.
Because it is an obsession.
And the New York Times kind of blew this thing out of the water as being ridiculous.
Give us your thoughts.
boris epshteyn
Well, since James ran, there's video after video after video of her.
It's like, I'm going to get Trump, and I'm going to be his worst nightmare.
And she comes out with this pathetic suit where her biggest problem is that the victims, the banks, were paid money, paid interest, made money, are fully happy, and are unsympathetic toward the prosecutor, according to the New York Times.
The New York Times saying themselves that this is going to be a very difficult case.
It's obvious that because Letitia James, Peek-A-Boo James, as President Trump has termed her, is losing her election that's in six weeks.
She's using her elected post to attack, target, and persecute President Trump and his family.
It's not going to work.
President Trump is going to continue to stand tall, and this case is another obvious joke and an obvious part of the overall conspiracy to attack President Trump.
steve bannon
Is this election interference, or is this because Trafalgar put out a poll I think last week that showed that Henry, who doesn't have a huge name recognition, I'm not sure he's sitting on a ton of cash, is basically, they say he's up by a point and a half, maybe two points.
Is this because of that?
Is this election interference with the midterms?
boris epshteyn
It's both.
It's obviously both.
It's so cravenly, cynically political.
And if you look at the case, there's no case there whatsoever.
She doesn't make a colorable case.
It's just about, you know, referrals here, referrals there.
It is all absolute nonsense.
And it's playing as nonsense because, hey, even the mainstream media is giving it the Heisman.
You said the New York Times and the others.
They're more focused on the special master, which is, by the way, a huge, obvious development and win for President Trump and his legal team, the continued application of the special master.
in the raid hoax.
And that's what they're, they wanna talk about Judge Geary.
They don't wanna talk about Tish James's political stunt because that's exactly what it is.
It's pathetic and I actually think it's gonna hurt her politically.
steve bannon
Boris, how do people get to you now more than ever on social media to follow you during the day?

steve bannon
Thanks, Boris.
By the way, we're going to go back to Farah in a moment, and we've got the great candidate running in what is, on paper, a Democratic district.
But she's fighting for freedom, so we're going to have her in a second.
But I want to go to Tiffany Palefko, who we had on the show very early on, of these moms that were concerned about everything from You know, CRT to all these different issues in the school.
Tiffany has stepped up and is running for the school board.
And I think you're emblematic of many of the moms and dads, but really the moms.
As I said, hey, I've seen what's being taught in the school.
I've seen how the school boards are blowing us off, and I'm not going to take any more.
I'm going to throw my hat in the ring.
Tell us what's been like, Tiffany.
unidentified
Thank you so much for having me back on the show.
And I just, I want to, I want to tell you thank you for giving me the opportunity about a year ago to come on your show and share my concerns as a mother about what's going on in our schools here in Loudoun County.
I've got two kids in the school system and my message has always been the same as it was when I came on your show for the first time in October.
And that is, I am concerned about what my kids are faced with and what other kids are faced with in this school system.
But I am running for school board, not only because of the grassroots movement that I've been a part of, Parents Against Critical Theory, but because I am a professional in the field of special education, and I've been involved in this profession for over 20 years.
I've worked as a teacher in public schools, in private schools, and I'm currently a board-certified behavior analyst, and I work with children with autism.
And I have always been a staunch advocate for children.
I will be an advocate for my own children as well as others.
I'm an IEP advocate, and I will never apologize for standing up for kids.
And so when I decided late in April to get involved in this race, I knew that that was going to be my message from day one.
It is about children, it is about parents, and it is about teachers.
We've got to get the identity politics out of the classroom.
Our kids deserve to learn in an environment free of identity politics.
Our parents must have their rights protected and respected, and teachers need to be taken care of.
I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but back in 2019, Loudoun County hired the Equity Collaborative and paid them $5,000 a day to come into Loudoun County and tell teachers that they have implicit bias.
The misuse of money in this school system, the administrative bloat, is out of control.
The people sitting on this school board, the least of their concerns are our children and families, and in my opinion, the most important stakeholders.
In a school system are children and it's important for people to remember that adults are the ones who elect school board members, but school board members are tasked with the responsibility of implementing policies and making decisions that are in the best interest of children.
And that is exactly what I will do if I am elected.
steve bannon
Tiffany, we've got about a minute here, and I want to hold you over through the break for a second.
Here's what I think has gotten people so kind of shocked is that, and particularly things like Loudon, which has a highly educated, you know, it's the suburbs of Northern Virginia, of Washington, D.C., many, many people with dual master's degrees, couples with PhDs.
How did it get so far off track?
How did it get so far off of really teaching kids to be able to compete globally against India and China, the kids there, South Korea, Japan, Europe, and the rest of the world in a post-industrial society versus this kind of looks like indoctrination all day long.
Give us 30 seconds on that.
We'll hold you to the break.
How did this happen?
unidentified
Yeah, you know, I think in my personal opinion, I think a big part of this is money.
And it's not only money, but it's also people sitting on these school board seats, sitting on the dais that are not in these positions because they are there to advocate for kids.
They're there because it's a political stepping stone for them.
It's their first jump into politics, and then they're off to running for state delegate or running for Congress.
But these special interest corporations that have basically hijacked education in the whole entire country, this is not just happening in Loudoun County, it's happening everywhere.
The identity politics that's being injected into curriculum, it's about money and it's not about our kids.
And we need to shift the focus back to our children.
steve bannon
Tiffany, hang on one second.
Short commercial break.
Tiffany's going to rejoin us running for the school board in Virginia.
And a young fire breather running for Congress down in El Paso, Texas.
unidentified

So, Tiffany, tell people And we're going to put your social media up and your site so people can go to you and support you to run for school board.
But you're kind of emblematic.
Talk to me about the difference in coming on the show.
You know, the first time you came you said, I'm really nervous.
You were fantastic.
You got the word out.
It's one of the key things I think of the young convictory was the moms coming forward.
Then to take the leap and actually become a candidate where you're exposing everything because they're coming after you people hard.
Walk through how you made that decision and what it's been like.
unidentified
So, for me, quite frankly, it was literally I woke up one day at the end of April and I just said, I'm doing this.
And I said I'm doing this because It's in here for me.
It's in my heart.
I have the passion.
I have the energy.
I have the knowledge.
And I am a mother of two kids in this school system.
So there could be no better candidate, in my opinion, than a parent of children that are actually in the school system.
Because if I have an opportunity to sit on that board, Every decision I make is going to be with that of my own kids in mind.
Not only that, but to realize that I am responsible for making decisions for 83, 84,000 plus kids.
This really came into fruition because I decided to get up and do something about it.
And that's what people need to do.
I thought I was doing something by speaking at school board meetings when I began to voice my concerns.
I thought I was doing something by getting on your show and talking to people across this great country.
And I was.
And that certainly did happen and I think that a lot of people became more aware of what's going on in our schools across the country because of that but it's really about getting up on your feet and doing something about it.
And in order for me to make that leap, I had to figure it out.
I had to figure out the process.
I had a few people that were able to help me and guide me and point me in the right direction.
But this has really been a fundamental grassroots movement for me.
I've never run for anything.
I don't consider myself political.
I'm a parent, I'm a mom, and I'm a concerned citizen.
And that's what I love so much about your show, Steve.
You let real people Average people, like me, come on your show, concern citizens, and talk about the issues that we're facing in this country, and that's what it takes.
It takes people to get up and move.
You can't have a movement if you sit behind your phone or you sit behind Twitter all day typing behind your keyboard.
Keyboard warriors aren't going to get anywhere.
It's people that are going to make the difference, and it's passion and it's knowledge.
And once you put those things together, along with the ability to speak and connect with people, there is no stopping.
steve bannon
Tiffany, that's populism right there.
Give your social media and also the website for your campaign so people can find out more about this.
unidentified
Thank you.
I'm on Twitter at Tiffany4BR and my website is tiffany4broadrun.com.
steve bannon
Ma'am, you're the, as I said back in, I think it was April 2021, the moms of America at these school boards are going to be the key that picks the lock to turn this country around.
Thank you very much for joining us, Tiffany.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
I want to go now to another warrior, Irene Alma Diaz Jackson, running in Texas 16.
And I got to tell you, I've got, uh, I know David Rodriguez.
Well, he speaks so highly of you.
We love El Paso.
That's where we built part of the first part of our wall down there, man.
It's a great town with great people and you are up in one of the toughest races in this country.
First off, tell us about what inspired you to actually do this.
unidentified
Well, I've been a pro-life warrior for like the last 20 years.
My husband and I have been standing outside the abortion clinics, praying, talking, convincing women not to kill their babies, and supporting with our money.
We put our money where our mouth is.
Back in 2016, because he just retired from Border Patrol as a Border Patrol agent, he was sent to D.C., and it was there where the Lord just, I felt, called me to get back to El Paso Leave my, uh, every ministry within the four walls of the church.
And my ministry field is the civic world.
And now I started helping candidates got very involved and I was inducted by fire.
And then I was asked to run because of who the incumbent is.
We want to make sure that somebody, she ran on three things in 2018, being a woman check, being a native check and being Hispanic check.
So now let's talk about the policies.
steve bannon
And so when I was asked... She ran on the Identity Politics and said, hey, I got you there and I'll see you some policies, right?
That's great.
unidentified
Yeah, exactly.
And we asked for a debate.
I'm very fluent in Spanish.
That is my first language.
And we went through Entrevisión, which is Univision and Telemundo.
And we asked for a debate in Spanish in 2020.
And she said, absolutely not.
I know I can destroy her both in English and in Spanish and to this day she will not agree to debate me because she knows that her policies are horrible.
We just did a polling here in El Paso and 53% of the voters in El Paso blame the Democrats for the inflation.
Now I know it's common sense, I know they're all to blame 100%, but when you know my district, this is where Beto O'Rourke is from, when you know my district and how The Republicans have actually ignored my district for decades.
That's how people like Beto O'Rourke and Veronica Escobar can stand on a platform and say that they represent the people of El Paso.
Well, guess what?
No more.
No longer.
The GOP has never had a candidate like me.
First of all, identity politics goes out the window because I'm very brown.
I speak very good Spanish.
My parents are immigrants, legal immigrants from Mexico.
And I'm able to communicate in English and in Spanish with the majority.
Unfortunately, Steve, unfortunately, we do not have the support of the Republican powers at beat.
And I don't know why.
I think, you know, it scares them to flip Beto O'Rourke's former district, because then what are they going to fundraise on?
But I can tell you with over 80% of the population being Hispanic, people are conservative, they're angry, they're fed up.
On social media, we get it all the time when I'm out in the public.
I hate that woman.
Well, you know, as a born-again Christian, I don't hate her, but I do hate what she represents.
steve bannon
Let me ask you, the Hispanic community is socially very conservative about the family, right?
Absolutely.
They're very practical and entrepreneurial.
So when you look at the issue set, whether it's the disaster in immigration where you have all the illegal aliens coming in, but it's to drive down wages.
You've got the border crime.
We were down there for the longest time.
The cartels basically run a big part of that.
You then got inflation out of control.
The economy's terrible.
And you got all the bizarre nature of their social issues, particularly around children in schools.
That's an issue set that should deliver 55 or 60% of the Hispanic vote.
Am I wrong?
Am I wrong in that?
Or is that issue set where Hispanics said, I've had it with the Democratic Party?
Ma'am.
unidentified
Well, yes, but they don't know what they don't know, Steve.
We need to be able to have the funds to communicate with every voter.
If 53% of the people in El Paso already blame the Democrats We need to be able to reach them.
39% of the same poll, 39% shows that they still have never heard about me.
Why?
Because the media ignores me.
Yesterday we were downtown and we were filming a commercial and the mayor of El Paso saw me come and he hightailed it out of there and all the media with him.
They see me coming and they run.
There's a lot of money, a lot of money.
In the powers that be here in El Paso.
And they donate to the Republicans, but they also, they donate to our governor here in Texas, but then they turn around and they donate to Veronica Escobar.
And let me tell you, the fight is real.
Just a couple of days ago, I'm getting hammered on social media, right?
Which is ridiculous because most of them don't even live in my district.
But what they started doing, now I'm angry.
Now I'm angry because they started posting My elderly parents' address.
And that's not okay because they come from a... Hang on, hang on.
steve bannon
Your parents are Mexican immigrants, came here legally.
You're saying they're doxing your parents?
They're putting your parents' home address up?
unidentified
Absolutely.
I'm like on Instagram and Facebook right now constantly.
I don't want to be bothered with that.
I have people that are taking care of that, but I have to continuously be deleting My parents' address.
My dad is 85 years old.
My mom is 77.
And I haven't heard Veronica Escobar condemn this.
This is completely unacceptable.
I haven't talked about the fact that her husband, who's an immigration judge here in El Paso, released an illegal immigrant and then he turned around and assaulted a police officer and broke his nose.
I stayed away from the family, but you know what?
All bets are off.
You want to play those games?
It's on.
And what do I have to lose?
Even if they killed me, Steve, even if they killed me, let me tell you that the message will prolong because I will not stand for this nonsense anymore.
And people like Veronica Escobar need to be held accountable.
But I need America's help.
The RNC, the NRCC, they're ignoring us.
They're completely ignoring us.
And this is unacceptable.
So we need America to go to my website, Irene for Congress, and donate like your life depended on it because your freedom does depend on it.
Just a couple of days ago.
Yes, that's my website.
Just a couple of days ago, we had in the news, two men that were brothers and one of them stabbed the other one and killed him.
What the news failed to say was that they were brothers and they immigrated.
They have been here illegally.
From Venezuela.
So before everybody goes and cries a river for all these poor illegal aliens, let me tell you that they are raising the crime in my community and the media is ignoring it.
And I have nothing to lose.
People tell me all the time, be careful, you're going to lose your political career.
And I'm like, what political career?
I'm about to lose my freedoms and my grandchildren's freedoms.
I have four grandchildren and I refuse, I refuse to let Veronica Escobar or Beto O'Rourke or even those in our side, the powers that be, take away those freedoms.
I will no longer stand on the sidelines and that's what got me involved and got my husband involved as well.
steve bannon
Real quickly, tell me El Paso, the good citizens in El Paso, tell me about this increase in crime because of what's happening on the border right now.
unidentified
I have people sending me messages all the time when we're out in the community We were out at the bus station the other day, of course, with all what you see there.
And I get a lot of messages and a lot of information through my husband from Border Patrol agents, videos and everything that's going on right at this moment.
And what you're seeing at the bus station are single men.
We were notified that on Friday they were going to release 300 men, just men.
The families are being put up somewhere else.
There's at least four shelters.
There's people walking up and down the streets.
You know they're illegal.
I get called a bigot.
I get called a racist.
Because I say, see, there's more illegals.
And you know when somebody doesn't belong in your community.
But they either wear these ugly-looking croc orange shoes, or they wear flip-flops with socks, and they have this bag.
And in this bag is just a paper that gets them from point A to point B.
You and I need to show identification and they board airplanes with this paper.
steve bannon
Irene, just hang on one second.
We're taking a short commercial break.
unidentified
We're going to go back to El Paso, Texas in just a moment.
Yeah, it is already a full blown crisis at the border and it's a humanitarian crisis I'm here on the Texas side.
That's the Rio Grande, which is really kind of dwindled down in volume and strength.
New Mexico, and this is Mexico right here.
Jackson, just to give you an idea of the level... By the way, you see that thing in the background right there is our wall, I think.
That is the wall, baby.
steve bannon
And we built it there because if you've seen Saqqara, if you've seen Saqqara, you know how bad it is in Juarez and El Paso, Texas.
The movie's about that.
And that's where the border patrol asked us, said, hey, can you build it right up the side of that mountain?
Irene, you've been spectacular.
Thank you.
I assume you've gotten a pretty good response so far while you've been on.
It's still buzzing.
Are people responding?
Are people responding?
Okay.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
This is what we want.
Look, Irene, you're a fighter and you know, you're what this country is all about.
And quite frankly, for the Hispanic Americans out there, we're going to come and get the word.
Once they have the information, they're going to vote MAGA.
They're going to vote Republican.
That's why the left is sitting there trying to suppress.
They're trying to suppress your voice.
She won't have, she does not have enough respect for Hispanic Americans to have you on a debate stage.
To have you on a debate stage and to debate her.
She just thinks you don't matter.
unidentified
Well, let me tell you also, just going back to the border, it's funny that, of course, they showed your wall.
And another thing is, well, thank you so much for all of you that are responding.
I'm so excited.
It's you that I'm doing this for, not just my grandchildren, but for your own grandchildren.
But unfortunately, the last two days have been horrible on the border.
I'm not just talking about the apprehensions.
I'm getting the message from the Border Patrol agents that last night, in the El Paso sector, there was no, no, zero Border Patrol agents on the line.
Do you understand, America, what that means?
That means all the fentanyl, all those people that are gonna be trafficked to sexual slavery, the women, they were passing like nobody's business last night.
Last week, we had one man, Well, this stretch was 12 miles in the El Paso sector.
We had one Border Patrol agent in the Clint station, and that's a 32-mile stretch.
One Border Patrol agent.
That's endangering his life.
And remember, Border Patrol agents are daddies, mommies, their husbands, their wives, their community members.
We need to make sure that we fight not only the Democrats, but that we fight the establishment on the Republican side.
No longer will we tolerate them picking winners and losers.
America, El Paso is so precious for what we, national security, because national security begins at the border.
And we need to make sure that this is our last term and every rhino, every Democrat needs to be unseated.
In November, border security and the economy need to be number one.
steve bannon
Irene, how do people get to you on social media?
How do they get to your website?
unidentified
Well, you know what?
I'll make it easier, Steve.
How about you call me and they tell me what they want to hear, how they can support us.
915-494-2851.
I'm putting it out there.
That's my own personal cell.
915-494-2851.
Team Irene 16 on social media, on Facebook.
Steve, let me ask you a quick question before we get cut off.
When are you coming to El Paso?
steve bannon
I think I'm going to talk to David Rodriguez.
Well, I think we're going to be back down there.
We'll do it.
We'll do an event for you.
You're a fighter.
unidentified
I need you before the election.
steve bannon
Oh, no, no, no.
I'll talk.
I'll talk to Rodriguez.
We'll figure this out.
We're traveling the country anyway, support candidates.
And you're a fighter.
unidentified
Thank you so much, Steve.
God bless you.
steve bannon
And you're smart enough to corner me right on live TV, so yes, we'll do it.
You're great, Irene.
Thank you so much.
unidentified
Appreciate it.
Thank you.
God bless you.
steve bannon
Let me go, God bless you.
Let me go back to Ben Berkwam.
Ben's at FAIR.
He's got a very special guest.
Ben Berkwam, Real America's Voice.
Take it away.
ben bergquam
Hey Steve, Irene's 100% right.
This fight is for our grandchildren and the future of this nation.
But many people don't have grandchildren, will never have the grandchildren because they've already been taken from them by this illegal invasion.
Sabina Durden lost her son, Dominique Durden, because of this illegal invasion and the border, what we have going on there.
You're an angel mom.
Talk to us about what you've experienced and what you don't want any other mom to experience out there, why this is so important.
unidentified
I'm a legal immigrant.
It took me six years to become a citizen, only to lose my 30-year-old only child, Dominic Durden, in California 10 years ago, July 12th.
He was run down on his motorcycle as he was going to work as a dispatcher for the Riverside Sheriff's Department.
The illegal alien who killed my child had two felony convictions, one deportation, Two DUIs that he received probation for.
So he got all the breaks of life and then he kills my only child.
Annihilated my family.
I'm here by myself.
Thank God I have my now husband with me who supports me.
Snuffed out a beautiful life.
He was going to become a helicopter pilot for the Sheriff's Department and If that wasn't enough, I get called racist.
People try to shut me down.
I get death threats because for 10 years now, and I've known you a lot of years, I've been talking about this and I'm tired of getting calls and messages from new angel moms that are not willing and not able yet to talk publicly about it.
So I sit on my phone for hours sometimes listening to them, talking to them.
Just the other day I heard about a young sheriff In Colorado, she was killed on her motorcycle going to work by an illegal alien drunk driver.
It brought me down to my knees.
I'm tired of this unnecessary pain.
And yes, it could have been an American, but it wasn't.
And every illegal alien crime is a hundred percent preventable.
They're not supposed to be here.
It took me six years to become a citizen.
It's worth it.
Why do we have other people skip the line and get rewarded?
And right now, with this administration, We are financing our own invasion.
Your children and grandchildren and the listeners, they will not have a future if we don't speak out loud and stop letting them shut us down by calling us racist.
Stop it.
Yeah.
steve bannon
Thank you so much.
Do you have a social... Real quickly, does she have social media that people can get to her?
unidentified
Yes, you can contact me on domhugs.com, D-O-M-H-U-G-S dot com, and see what I've been doing, what Dominic is about.
I have his ashes in a locket around my neck.
That's all I have left of my son.
I don't want any more Americans to know this pain.
Like Ben was saying, I never know what grandchildren will feel like.
And we gotta speak up, we gotta fight now, because if we don't, there will be no America and no future.
steve bannon
Ma'am, thank you so much.
Honored to have you on here.
Ben, thank you so much.
You're fair.
The next hour of this show may be one of the most important hours we've ever done.
Tune in.
It's about victory.
unidentified
There is no substitute for victory.
