Speaker Time Text
joe scarborough
Mark, help me understand this better because it's just so fascinating because I can't quite figure out how Republicans are duped so easily.
You have, let's talk about the two people that right now a lot of people are fascinated by and talking about and Democrats are so concerned about.
Donald Trump.
Democrat for most of his life.
Gave millions of dollars to Democrats.
And no, it wasn't like back in the 1990s.
He contributed to Kamala Harris's campaign in 2014.
Right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe scarborough
And then you have Carrie Lake.
A Barack Hussein Obama supporter, right?
So she was swept up with hope and change.
Just like Donald Trump was a supporter of Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton and best friends it seemed at times with Bill Clinton.
He loved Democrats.
He attacked Ronald Reagan.
He attacked one Republican after another.
How can it be that Republicans embrace these people who were so hostile to the Republican Party, to conservatism, to everything that they supposedly care so much about now?
unidentified
Well, Joe, that's what's so depressing for those of us on Survivor Island.
In the Republican Party.
Is that the party has abandoned completely any sense of ideology or coherent policy that has any kind of framework.
There's certainly no compassionate conservatism, which first drew me across the bridge.
And it has simply become transactional about and only retaining power.
That's all it's about.
And we've seen it left and right as the devil's disciples have enabled Trump Uh, and others, uh, without any kind of principle, with the few exceptions of people like Liz Cheney.
And that's what has really been depressing to me is that there's so few people willing to stand up for any principle anymore in the Republican Party.
Send me to Washington D.C.!
Take on to make sure I don't push back against work to work!
steve bannon
Okay, welcome.
It is Monday, 17 October in the year for 2022.
Things are heating up tomorrow.
We're three weeks away from the most important midterm election since 1862.
We are packed today.
We're going to have Richard Barris, Darren Beatty from Revolver, Richard Barris, the great pollster.
I want to talk with a couple of people that are in the middle of this fight.
Start out in Montana.
Montana won a new district set up in Montana.
Commander Ryan Zinke, Secretary of the Interior under President Trump.
And a very close ally and also gave a career as a Navy SEAL.
Commander Zinke, tell us about the race.
What is going on out there in Montana?
This is a state that President Trump took easily, but we understand that the left-wing Democrats are all pumping money in nonstop.
How's the race going?
unidentified
Well, it's tighter than it should be.
But, Steve, you point out, this is a race that will determine, I think, the future of the country.
In my lifetime, this is the most important race that we face.
And really, on one side, we're failing.
The Biden administration is failing across the board.
They're failing on foreign shores with Afghanistan, Ukraine, and likely Taiwan.
They're failing domestically with energy, no borders, supply chain.
We can't even get baby formula on the shelf.
But Steve, also, we're failing culturally.
When boys can play women's sports, when they're injecting puberty blocking in junior high, and our founding fathers are now racists, we're in trouble with the triple threat, foreign shores, domestic, and culture.
And this election is about a different vision for America, going back to where values matter, the Constitution, self-determination.
But the race, as you know, is pretty tight.
We just need enough ammunition to complete the gunfight, and we'll win.
And then the Republicans, when we take control, we better do what we say we're going to do, and we better control the budget.
And if we do those things, I think 2024 will look a lot better, and we'll save America.
steve bannon
When you're out talking, look, there's no bigger set of patriots than in Montana.
I mean, that's kind of, you know, the backbone of the country.
These people are fantastic.
A tough environment to live up there.
When you go out among the constituents, because the good thing about you, I know you're a listener.
What are they telling you about the direction of the country?
unidentified
Well, people are concerned.
I use the term, they use the term fear, uncertainty and doubt.
By the way, fear is the most used word in the Bible, 365 times.
People are seeing our country falling apart.
There's nothing working well.
They don't trust the government.
I mean, Steve, when I'm on the campaign trail, I ask, you know, is there a government agency, department, branch, division that has the full trust and confidence of the people?
And the answer is shockingly or not shockingly, no.
That's a distinct difference of the America that we grew up in.
When the FBI said something, you could take it to the bank.
And now when the FBI, as you know, says something, the credibility has been lost because of the Russian collusion, because of the tipping the scale with Zuckerberg on the elections, because of the heavy handedness, because of Mar-a-Lago.
The list is long.
So the FBI has lost the credibility with the people.
What I'm hearing, you know, along Montana inflation, you know, it's killing people.
It's a hidden tax.
We drive bigger trucks up here.
You know, gasoline, you know, runs pretty high here into the supply chain.
But people are not convinced that the future is better than the past.
And American First policy reverses that, where it can bring, you know, gas prices down where they should be, curb spending so we can get inflation back down, bring interest rates down, and looking at making sure that That people can reach the American dream.
And in Montana, as you know, guns reign supreme.
steve bannon
So how does your opponent, who's got to be committed to vote for Pelosi and support the Biden agenda, when you take guns, you know, invasion of the southern border, inflation, the printing of money, overspending, what did they argue against you as America first?
unidentified
Well, they lie.
You know, my opponent wants to inject $133 trillion with a T dollars in new spending.
She wants to tax.
She called 87,000 IRS troopers.
What a wonderful deal.
Her words was that I think it's fantastic.
You know, and you're right.
This is the Pelosi, the Biden group that's going to go along with this nonsense economic disaster.
Uh, matter of fact, Monica said it was awesome.
But, you know, but people you look at, I think they're pretty smart.
They realize, you know, what are the Democrats pushing?
They're pushing, in many cases, an abortion plan, which accepts abortion moments before birth.
If you're Catholic, that's murder.
It's unacceptable in Montana, but this is what they push.
And they push an agenda that says they're a moderate, but they're not.
We've seen that time and time again, as you know.
These people hate the country, and the direction that they're headed with the Biden administration is a disaster across the board.
I can't think of one bright spot with a Biden administration.
steve bannon
Can we go ahead?
Can Denver go ahead?
I want to play this spot from Commander Zinke and then come back to the commander.
unidentified
Things will never change, at least here.
Love for America, Montana, our kids.
Prayers for those who keep us free.
Before Biden, a gallon of gas cost a couple of bucks.
Groceries were affordable, no inflation.
Putin was scared of America's military might.
It was a Montanan who led the charge for affordable American oil and gas.
A Montanan who kept America mighty.
23 years as a Navy SEAL.
And that Montanan always came home to Whitefish, where he played high school ball, where he lives, hunts, fishes, spends time with good people.
Ryan Zinke was that seal.
Our congressman, interior secretary, and protector of our lands.
Ryan Zinke will bring affordability, decency, and sanity back to our world.
I'm Ryan Zinke, and I approve this message.
So Commander Zinke, I don't like that commercial.
You hate America.
I mean, it's got the pleasure of a lady.
It's got kids.
It's got everything that's good about America.
steve bannon
So, is the money coming from out of state to your opponent to dump in here or what's going on?
unidentified
Well, you know, she gets funds like every other Democrat.
Those folks, American Prairie Reserve and out of state money and money's coming into the Democrat, you know, opposition.
As we see across the state, For our purpose, we just got to make sure that we have ammunition to complete the battle, continue our campaign, send out the mailers so people are encouraged to vote.
You know, quite frankly, considering what's happening in the country, I can't see why voting will almost be 100%.
I mean, people got to get out and vote.
It makes a difference.
Voices need to be heard.
But this is the most important election of my lifetime.
I think it sets the path which way we're going to go.
Are we going to go to America where families are valued?
Are we going to go to America where families are discounted?
Are we going to go to America where boys can play girls sports and puberty blocking is accepted in schools?
Or are we going to go to America where our values, both good and bad, of our founding fathers are that we should be proud of America?
steve bannon
Commander Zinke, Liz Cheney can testify to the stroke that the war room has in Wyoming, and it's got just as much or more in the great state of Montana.
So I want everybody, where do people go to find out more about your campaign, sir?
unidentified
RyanZinke.com.
Go to RyanZinke.com.
Appreciate the help if you can, but also make sure you get out to vote, everybody.
Grab your neighbors.
This is an important election.
We will win if If our patriots come out to vote.
I'm still a Reagan optimist.
I think this is within our measure and merit to fix it.
But it was time for action right now.
There is no goofing around.
We better get to D.C.
and the Republicans better start leading and doing what they say they're going to do.
And we've got to curb the budget.
And if we do those type of things and hard on it, 2024 will be a great year for America and wind up saving America and getting back to the American first policies that build strength in our economy and prosperity.
steve bannon
8 November is Judgment Day.
Commander Ryan Zinke, thank you very much for joining us from Montana 1, this new district carved out of the great state of Montana.
We're going to follow this one quite closely.
I need everybody to go to his site right now.
We need all volunteers.
Let's stay on the frontier, but this we're going to go to Arizona.
Well, actually, if you look at the polls, it's quite interesting, Steve.
I'm actually winning Hispanic voters.
We're doing really well with black voters and Asian voters as well.
I see these all radical commercials about your radical opponent.
Is that cause Finch and Kerry Laker taking the incoming?
How's Hamid a up nine?
abe hamadeh
Well, actually, if you look at the polls, it's quite interesting, Steve.
I'm actually winning Hispanic voters.
We're doing really well with black voters and Asian voters as well.
So the media, the reason why they were going after me so hard is that I'm a first generation American son of Syrian immigrants.
I'm an army veteran and a prosecutor, and I know how to communicate.
So it terrifies the hell out of them.
And, you know, I think they should be worried.
But, you know, we just got noticed today that my opponent, they dumped $500,000 additional on TV.
So, you know, we need all the resources and ammunition right now just to finish this thing off.
But we're in a very good spot.
And, you know, something that's so unique about Arizona, Steve, I really think That Arizona is leading the rest of the country and showing how this America first new Republican Party is leading.
I mean, look at me, Mark Fincham, Carrie Lake, Blake Masters.
Everywhere we're going, we're all promoting one another.
We all know that we need each other to make Arizona great again.
So that's what's very neat about this election season.
I've never seen anything like this before across the country.
steve bannon
By the way, next hour we've got Eli Crane from Arizona, too, and I absolutely agree.
It's the railhead of America First and MAGA.
Talk to us, give us a minute on your opponent.
She's a tad radical for Arizona, is she not, sir?
abe hamadeh
Well, that's exactly right.
She's been trying to promote green new energy deals, you know, for the past 15 years.
She wants to end cash bail.
She doesn't think there's a border crisis.
I mean, she has literally never practiced law, Steve.
She's an environmentalism professor at ASU, and then she's a former journalist for the Arizona Republic.
And you know what's quite interesting about that?
Even John McCain thought she was so dishonest, he actually kicked her off his Straight Talk Express back in 2000.
She was the only journalist that was kicked off.
So even John McCain, we can agree with John McCain on this.
But she's a far leftist radical right now.
You know, she wants to try to bring California policies into Arizona, but I don't think we're going to have any of it, and this is why it's so critical we get Mark Fincham, Carrie Lake, Blake Masters across the finish line as well.
steve bannon
Abe, how do people get to your site?
Everybody's very proud of your campaign, the way you're comporting yourself.
You're a fighter, but you do it with class.
How do people get to your site?
abe hamadeh
Thank you, Steve.
They can go to Abe4AG.com, Abe4AG.com, and we really appreciate any support we can get these next 21 days.
steve bannon
Okay, Abe is on the target list of Soros.
You know why?
unidentified
Because he's going to be a great, great Attorney General.
steve bannon
Abe Hamade.
Thank you very much for joining us in Arizona.
abe hamadeh
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Okay, Richard Barris, Jared Majewski.
We're going to go up to Ohio next.
unidentified
...nature in D.C., and career politicians like Marcy Kaptur will do anything to stay in power.
Marcy's been lying to us for 40 years.
In district, she's a moderate.
But when she's in D.C., she votes with Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi every time.
What's the result?
40-year high inflation?
Soaring gas prices?
Rising crime?
Marcy's had her chance, and she's failed.
Now it's time we have ours.
I'm J.R.
Majewski, and I approve this message because Marcy Kaptur is the poster child for term limits.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome back.
It is Monday, 17 September.
We are, tomorrow's three weeks from Judgment Day.
Let's bring in J.R.
Majewski up in Ohio.
Of course, there's a big debate tonight.
In fact, I think we're going to be live streaming that with Grace Chong and Captain Bannon between Tim Ryan and J.D.
Vance.
J.R., correct me if I'm wrong.
I think I.A.
Interactive just tossed, just moved this Race to a toss-up.
Give us an assessment.
Give us a situation report.
A sit-rep on where we are.
unidentified
So, Steve, as you know, Marcy Kaptur and the AP teamed up and sent out a fake hit piece that's been debunked multiple times, and that threw the political pundits in for a whirlwind.
And you can talk with Rich when he gets on later.
He's been somebody I've been talking to quite frequently, and he stood firm.
And now, well, they moved it to a lean Democrat, but now they're realizing that we still have the momentum and people are tired of being lied to, and they moved it back to a toss-up where it belongs.
steve bannon
Okay, what are we going to get?
I want TV rights for the debate.
When is that going to take place, sir?
unidentified
Well, we've asked multiple times, Steve, and Marcy Kaptur is refusing to debate.
She's making up numerous excuses, just like she is about her record in the House.
She's She just scared to debate me, that's at the end of the day.
They know that they're very vulnerable.
Hold on.
steve bannon
I thought, I thought you, I thought you saw her in the restaurant outside the ladies room before she jumped in there.
She's kind of like Katie Hopps.
They're all hiding.
I thought she committed.
She says, Hey, talk to my person, my people, uh, and we'll work out a time.
Is that, did you get, was that a lie?
Was that another lie, sir?
unidentified
Oh, no.
I mean, look, I've, I met Marcia quite a few times and, uh, I'm always a gentleman when I meet her and, To be honest, Steve, she doesn't even know who I am.
She always has a blank stare on her face, unfortunately.
I think her team of left-wing activist Bernie bros from the East Coast are pretty much in charge of all of her messaging.
And I've even challenged her campaign manager to a debate since he seems to be the voice of the campaign entirely.
But I haven't heard anything back from him.
steve bannon
We started with Federman, who is the cyborg, because he can't even function without the computer.
And we're not picking on him for having the stroke.
He couldn't help the stroke.
That happened.
But what he's doing now, and his wife, the reporter that did the big story, I think it was Rolling Stone, said that she's the candidate.
She's playing hide and seek.
She won't come out.
Why won't she stand up?
She's been there that long.
Why can't she stand on a stage and just take her record and compare it to yours of, you know, you're an insurrectionist, you're a bad guy, you're all this.
Why can't she stand on in front of the citizens of the district and defend her record, sir?
unidentified
I mean, when you look at it, it's just undefendable.
I mean, to stand on stage and try to defend voting with Biden and Pelosi 100% of the time is impossible.
In a district like this.
I mean, Ohio, this has become Trump country very, very quickly.
And Marcy Kaptur knows that.
So she's using her spending power, her funding from Nancy Pelosi and Soros, and she's spending millions of dollars attacking my character, not talking anything about what she has done or what she could do for the state of Ohio.
She's instead just going back to the typical Democratic play, which is Assault the character, spread lies, don't debate and hide in the basement.
steve bannon
And raise a ton of money from sourcing these outside groups that are not in your district to dump TV ads that just go after the character.
Don't talk about policies.
Give me a minute on how this bill, how did this become Trump country?
What is it going on that's flipped this, your district to Trump country, sir?
unidentified
Well, I think Ohioans like myself, you know, typically in the, um, in the urban areas like Toledo, We grew up in a blue collar family and, you know, we were raised to be Democrats because that's what everyone was.
But the Democratic Party left our parents and they left, you know, many adults.
And we sought shelter and cover and truth.
And we found that in President Trump.
People in Northwest Ohio just want to be told the truth.
They want representatives that are going to go to Washington, D.C., not be bought off, stand up for local issues, put America first, and That's what I represent.
I mean, when I win this general election, people are going to look back on my entire campaign.
And I really think that if they were to study it, they would see that I've essentially changed the game on how you can run for office.
You don't need big lobbyists.
You don't need big pharma.
You don't need all these huge organizations coming in.
You just need the truth.
You need patriots on your side.
And you need to be willing to go out and do the work and develop individual relationships with these voters, not just lie to them and give them, you know, any inclination that you're going to go to Washington DC and, and double and not double down on your commitment.
steve bannon
Okay.
People, you got three weeks start tomorrow.
This is one of the most important races in the country.
Tell us, where do you go from here?
How can people follow you?
We've got tons of volunteers that can do anything if they're so inclined.
What do you need people to do?
unidentified
Well, right now, it's kind of like what Commander Zinke said.
We've created a campaign based on small dollar donations.
So a donation to the campaign would be phenomenal.
We're looking to do our final push and our media buy here shortly.
And you can sign up to volunteer on the website.
We're going to be doing a tour of the 9th District here in the next few days.
And we're going to continue getting out, shaking hands, meeting people, putting out yard signs.
We can use help phone banking, you name it.
Marcy Kaptur is a monster of a candidate, and she has a strong army of people that don't live here trying to help her win.
steve bannon
Yeah, because they need that progressive seat.
J.R.
Majewski, by the way, any social media people go to, or just the campaign site?
unidentified
You can go to the social media.
It's J.R.
Majewski for Congress, or J.R.
Majewski.
I'm on all forms of social media, either one of those two screen names.
But you can find anything you need right on the website.
steve bannon
JR, thank you very much for joining us.
I appreciate it.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
Take care of you guys.
steve bannon
Let me bring in Richard Barris.
Barris, we started in Montana.
We went to Arizona, then Ohio.
In the second hour, we're going to be back in Arizona.
We're going to be up with Joe Kent, and we're going to go to Florida.
Give us your sense first off.
These races always break in the last couple of weeks.
Tomorrow's three weeks.
Where do you see it overall as you analyze other polls other than yours?
richard baris
Yeah, and actually, I think there's some of them, most of them are starting to show what we saw really over the weekend was pretty significant, Steve.
And, you know, it didn't surprise me that we saw like the New York Times poll.
They went to a likely voter model and now there are plus four.
Look, these things do break.
And I was telling people to, you know, just remember what the generic ballot looked like before the summer and what the issues were before the summer, who led on these issues.
Abortion never got the predominant position that Democrats hoped and wanted it to get to.
And now, you know, even if it's in the top three or five, it doesn't matter when you're trailing the other party.
us by these kinds of margins.
So you know, the best thing to sum it all up, I really do think the levy is about to break.
That's what it looks like.
I want to hang on.
steve bannon
Hang on one second.
I want to go to the New York Times because you're the first guy to call this.
GOP gains edge in poll as economy sways.
Voters is the big headline.
But then down below, and this was Barris called this weeks ago, Democrats see drop in independence in women.
Richard Barris, tell us what you knew before the New York Times-Santa Pole made it obvious to all the liberals that You know, in here, abortion is the seventh issue.
Okay?
They don't care.
People who are going to actually vote don't care.
Right?
They care about the economy.
They care about crime.
They care about inflation.
Richard Barris.
richard baris
You just can't afford to care about abortion in this economy.
And had they been listening instead of talking and shut their mouths for two seconds and do what their job is, a job of a pollster or a pundit, you know, you speak as a pundit, but you're supposed to listen, Steve.
That's the majority of your job.
And it has been loud and clear for a year.
Uh, you know, by the way, just to bring up, what does R plus four mean?
It means that all that talk about J.R.
Majewski being in so much trouble is, is a nothing burger.
An R plus four or more electorate is going to sweep Marcy Kaptur right out of that seat.
She's one of the most vulnerable incumbents up this cycle.
Uh, you know, for somebody, uh, like, like J.R.
Majewski, by the way, everyone thought, uh, going into the primary that he had that, uh, That, uh, Gavaroni, sorry, I couldn't remember her last name, would do so much better because she was going to pick up all of those more moderate voters in Toledo, outside of Toledo, in the suburbs.
And actually that's where he killed it.
They don't care about January 6th.
They don't care about, uh, it's not that they don't care about abortion, right?
They just don't care about it.
As much as they care that milk is too expensive and hard to find, that they can't pay for meat and poultry, that canned goods has gone through the roof, that paper products have gone through the roof, that gas is now back on the rise.
This is like their worst nightmare.
And it's happening right before the election.
And what we saw in the generic ballot, the last one we did, was just a matter of undecided swelling because of those independents being a little bit more unsure.
I don't know if I'm going to vote.
I don't really know what I'm doing.
There's also that summer response bias.
And now what's happening is that they're coming back.
Biden's approval is what in that poll, by the way?
39?
We're going to probably have him around 38.
You know, that's where he is.
That's wipe out territory.
And I got to express a little bit of frustration here with people who fall for this year after year after year.
This is a first term incumbent midterm.
This is what happens during first term incumbent midterms when right track wrong track is upside down.
And right now it's historically bad.
Biden is unpopular.
The president's unpopular.
Historically unpopular.
And, you know, they're losing on the issues.
I mean, this is what we should have expected.
And also another one, by the way, is, you know, instability abroad, which we have like crazy.
So all of the predictive indicators, voter registration, all should have pointed to this, Steve.
And yet we really had people.
We really had them, on right and left.
Of course, dominated mostly by the left.
But we really had people try to tell us that abortion was going to outweigh inflation.
It's nuts.
steve bannon
Yeah, no.
MSNBC.
Hey, they bought it.
They're going to own it.
They broke it.
They own it.
Short commercial break.
Barris, Beattie, and then the debates tonight.
Back in a second.
unidentified
Spread the word all through Hong Kong.
We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the CCP!
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, welcome back.
We're going to go to Georgia in a minute and talk about this debate tonight.
Stacey Abrams and Governor Kemp.
And I want you to keep in mind what Richard Burrus just said about inflation and the economy because we've got a little bit of breaking news off of MSNBC.
We're going to play for you in a second as soon as it renders and we're ready.
Burrus, two things.
Number one, Spreading the battlefield.
We're in Rhode Island.
We're in Connecticut.
Blumenthal's only a couple points up.
Major Malloy was on today from Vermont.
Vermont's almost tied.
New Hampshire.
There's 9 to 15 house seats in play in New York.
Lee Zeldin is basically close to being tied with Hockel.
Is it a mistake to try to expand the battlefield right now as you see this thing breaking?
Are people getting too greedy?
richard baris
No, I don't think it is.
Democrats are everywhere.
They don't shy away from a fight just because there's a little bit too much rural percentage of the vote in a district.
They go after it.
In those Spectrum News polls in New York, if you look at some of those districts that should even be leaning Democrat, Zeldin is ahead in every single one of them.
So, you know, the Spectrum News Siena poll is a disaster.
I'm always skeptical on races like that, Steve.
There's been a lot of working class that have left New York.
But if this is any year that we could see something like that happen, it would be this year.
Plus, remember that Cittarelli barely lost in New Jersey, folks.
He barely lost.
And why did he lose?
Because the RGA really didn't want, they wanted to play it safe.
They wanted to help Glenn Youngkin.
And they wanted to play the rest of it safe.
A little push for Cittarelli, and he would have won that.
Instead, he was left to go up and down Route 9, shaking hands with New Jerseyans in diners, and that can do it, but you need money behind you.
unidentified
So, offense is the best defense in politics.
richard baris
If you're playing defense in politics, you are losing.
You should always be on the offense.
Even on abortion, people should learn from Kerry Lake.
steve bannon
Richard, speaking of Cary Lake, we're going to have this in a second about Cary Lake in Arizona as we go to Georgia in a second.
I want to, about House and Senate, as you see it right now, roughly, directionally, where do you see the House and where do you see the Senate?
We're not going to hold you to a specific number, but just directionally, how big could both of these be?

You know, the bottom for us in the Senate, I mean, if Republicans said a bad night would be below 52, but we thought a rather even night would be about 52.
If it's headed in the direction that some of these polls suggest it is, Then you could be above that because that would mean one, if not both, Arizona and New Hampshire will break.
They'll go.
New Hampshire is unpredictable.
I told people those early polls.
Baldack just got out of the primary.
Those early polls meant nothing, and New Hampshire is difficult to poll.
So if both of them were to go, then you're looking at 54.
I mean, it is doable, Steve.
I think O'Day, he heard himself, I do, and I think the president- Hang on a second, hang on a second.
steve bannon
Ohio, Wisconsin, Georgia, and- Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.
Do you see those as holds?
richard baris
I do.
We'll have a new poll out in Wisconsin real soon.
Ron Johnson's expanding his lead since we were the first ones to show him in the lead.
That race, again, I don't want to sow complacency, but that race, Johnson, he came back with a fury.
He took a beating all through the summer.
And then just came back and did what Ron Johnson does best.
Laxalt, I think, you know, it's probably going to be a smaller lead than, of course, than Johnson, but it's still a solid lead.
I think Georgia Walker would be down big if those stories worked on him.
He put in a great debate performance.
And I think the way that things are moving right now, if the country goes plus five Republican, I understand that Georgia is five points more Republican than the nation as a whole, so it would be very difficult for Warnock to hold on.
At this point, I really do think we're just talking about the Senate races in Arizona and New Hampshire at this point.
I really do.
And I think that, like I told you last week, people are just afraid to put Oz in the lead.
steve bannon
All the big ones you think are holds, then.
North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin, the big four.
Okay.
Real quickly, the House.
Give me 60 seconds of where you see the House breaking right now.
richard baris
You know, in Labor Day, around that period, I was thinking, you know, Republicans could be blowing this because, you know, Kevin McCarthy does not want a big MAGA majority.
So he's doing everything in his power, including J.R.
Mijewski, by the way, to keep this manageable so he doesn't end up like John Boehner.
But that's not how this works.
And, you know, that's not how midterms works.
And it works.
And if that levy breaks, then you're looking at, you know, 40 seats.
It could happen.
Absolutely.
More.
It is not unheard of.
unidentified
Absolutely.
richard baris
They'll break that 24-7.
steve bannon
It's all within your grasp.
This audience is going to make the difference.
Right now, let me play.
Do I have the Kerry Lake?
Before I lose you, let me play the Kerry Lake.
Sure.
It just happened off MSNBC.
Listen to this.
Let's go.
unidentified
Well, this is the biggest threat, internal threat, to our democracy in my lifetime.
And I think if you're somebody who is paying attention, whether you're a Democrat or Republican or Independent, this doesn't matter what party you are.
You have to keep talking about this as a threat to our democracy.
And the worry that I have is the everyday voter is going to be more concerned about inflation and gas prices, that they will miss this threat.
We have Carrie Lake, and she's not the only one.
50% of Republican candidates statewide around the country are election deniers right now.
This is a big deal, and we have to keep talking about it.
We have to.
What does the race look like to you?
I mean, where did the momentum feel like it was?
I mean, it's basically tied.
vaughn hillyard
I think it's important for people to realize that the Carrie Lake of November 2021 is different than the Carrie Lake that we're heading to in November of 2022.
She's much more polished on policy.
A year ago, she was up on stage with likes of Mike Lindell, Michael Flynn.
All of those folks, but now she's got the support of even the likes of Doug Ducey.
Glenn Youngkin is heading out to Arizona to campaign with her on Wednesday.
She can talk about water.
She talks about inflation.
She just introduced a policy measure to take back the grocery tax in Arizona so that more money goes into the pockets of Arizonans here.
But this is the issue here, is that she is presenting policies, not only through campaign television advertisements, through her rallies as well, that suddenly it's easy to forget what she believes when it comes to election denialism.
Now she hasn't walked back from any of these claims.
steve bannon
You got it, you got it.
unidentified
She doesn't know either facts about immigration.
steve bannon
Nicole Wallace losing.
God, they're so catty.
Morning Mika and Nicole Wallace just so catty about Carrie Lake.
She didn't know anything.
Mike Lindell and Mike Flynn and on the war room.
She knows more policy against Katie Hobbs.
How will we know Katie Hobbs is hiding in the girl's room?
Come on, Nicole.
Morning Joe talks about it.
Where's Katie Hobbs?
Let's have a debate.
Let's see if she knows anything about immigration.
This is MSNBC.
You led the Democratic Party down this path to their destruction.
And Nicole Wallace and Morning Mika and Chris Hayes, this is why you think Rachel Maddow bailed.
She bailed on you and left you holding the bag.
You led them down the path with J6 and the threat to democracy and abortion, all of it that didn't matter.
You know who says it didn't matter?
The New York Times today in their poll.
Read it, the paper of record.
Remember, if they don't print the New York Times, MSNBC would be a test pattern.
Richard Barris, how did people get to the People's Pundit?
How did they get to all your analysis?
You heard it right there.
Did you see how she said inflation?
Inflation!
unidentified
Like it was something that... I'm so worried the little people... The grubby!
steve bannon
The little people!
The little... Inflation!
You can't... Baby, I love this so much.
We're going to play that.
unidentified
Inflation, like you grubby little hobbits.
The hobbits are worried about inflation.
Barris, how did they get to you, brother?
richard baris
Of course, the best place to get me is of course on Locals, peoplespundit.locals.com.
We just put a voter analysis up on Michigan as well for local supporters there.
But Truth and Getter at peoplespundit and on Twitter still at peoples underscore pundit.
steve bannon
Love you, Richard Barris.
Your polling's been amazing.
Thank you so much.
All the best, Steve.
Bye, Steve!
Folks have seen it all come together.
Let me get Darren Beattie up here.
Darren, I appreciate you taking time away.
Revolver's got about 20 important stories.
But this thing in California, what is going on?
The Democrats are so out of touch with the American people.
Darren Beattie.
darren j beattie
Well first of all, I love the description of Fetterman as the cyborg, and I'm very pleased to say that we have an absolutely devastating piece on Fetterman coming up to add to the epithets.
But cyborg is a very good one, I will say that.
Just an incredible fact that he's even in the running, but that's a story for another time.
of several white hot pieces up at Revolver and the one I'd like to talk about today is entitled California's new pro-kidnapping bill is pure evil and here's why Republicans must copy it in every red state.
And so people don't know there's this insane law California just passed with the help of this individual called Senator Scott Weiner.
He's a state senator You need to go to the piece just to look at the picture of this guy.
The picture, in this case, really is worth more than a thousand words.
He's his claim to fame is he co-authored a bill that lowered the penalty for intentionally spreading HIV.
He also spearheaded a bill that would reduce the penalty for sexual contact with minors, like all kinds of wild San Francisco type stuff that this guy's been pushing.
And his magnum opus here is a bill that would literally help parents kidnap their children in order to force them to become Uh, transgender to force a surgery on them.
Basically what they do is they say, okay, a bunch of states are posing restrictions on, uh, child transgender surgeries and such.
We are going to pass a law in California that totally negates that, that doesn't recognize any of these other states laws.
We won't comply with any of your subpoenas and we'll make enforcing criminal acts in other states relative these laws.
The lowest enforcement priority.
So it's basically saying California is a sanctuary state for people who want to force this kind of stuff on their children against the laws of other states.
And in many cases, even against the other parent, because sometimes one parent is really pushing this and the other one doesn't like it.
So it's a very dark Orwellian, very much a California, San Francisco type dystopian piece of legislation.
But the good news is it can actually be copied.
It's actually a model.
Actually, the mindset that it reflects is something very powerful because a lot of people just sit back waiting for, you know, a favorable presidential election to save us.
But it actually shows the people playing around with California to destroy the country and to weaponize California to destroy the country.
They have it right in the sense that we are totally underutilizing red states, totally underutilizing red states.
And one thing we can do is we could pass an actual patriotic version of this bill and say, states won't recognize other states that try to force granified children. States won't recognize other states that unconstitutionally infringe on the right to bear arms. There's so many other applications of this model.
steve bannon
Is the piece is the piece go into this part of it, the red state part of it?
darren j beattie
And it's a readily made solution. And, you know, revolvers known for a lot of things, but a running current through a lot of pieces that we do is.
Red states are underutilized.
We have states like Tennessee, all these other states, we don't use it.
So we need to adopt the mindset of these people who are pushing this nonsense in California and use it against them.
steve bannon
Darren, how do people get to Revolver?
How do they follow you on social media?
Revolver is always on fire.
darren j beattie
Revolver.news, white hot pieces.
This latest one is just Going crazy.
I wanted to talk about this fashion piece.
We did a piece on fashion, believe it or not, that is incredibly controversial.
People go there and check out the history of the fashion industry.
steve bannon
And we'll point you on the bar about fashion.
Steve Bannon and Darren Beatty talking fashion.
You want to put that program into your TV.

Make them regret that they're trash talking Mike Lindell on MSNBC around Cary Lake.
I mean, Mike Lindell and Cary Lake are very close.
He does a lot of campaign events with her.
Still, if MSNBC actually covered the facts and didn't give us fake punditry all the time.
Okay.
Every night is a big night here in War Room.
We're going to have up on our getter.
We're going to be doing these debates.
We're going to be doing events.
In fact, Grace Chung and Captain Banner are going to be maybe doing even a wrap-up show later in the night.
Grace Chung, as you know, is the queen of the trolls.
She's going to be with us momentarily.
But Real Americans have always got a very special what they're doing tonight.
I want to bring in Carolyn Ryan.
Carolyn, you're down in your studio in Atlanta.
This is a huge debate tonight.
I keep saying it could be the end of Stacey Abrams career.
I think she's eight or nine points down.
Talk to us about Real America's Voice.
When can people come in at this and get your analysis?
unidentified
Hey Steve, so the debate tonight between Governor Kemp and Stacey Abrams gets underway at 7 o'clock.
This is the first of two scheduled debates that these two will have, and Real America's Voice is going to be covering it live tonight starting at 7 p.m.
on Dr. Gina's show.
We'll have some cut-ins, we'll have a live stream that we keep popping back to, and we'll have some live analysis.
It's a highly anticipated debate of this, of course, is the rematch from 2018.
These two are meeting once again for a gubernatorial election.
Now, in 2018, Kemp won by 55,000 votes, and it looks like if the polling is to be believed, he is on track to beating her by even a larger margin this go-around than he did the first go-around.
According to a recent Trafalgar poll that was conducted October 8th through the 11th, Kemp is up nine points.
steve bannon
Well, the first time was the skin of his... I mean, that was his fingernails.
Remember, she's never conceded, as we saw on CNN when Dana Bash tried to go off the Kerry Lake and took an incoming Kerry Lake punch.
Somebody should call the concussion referees over the NFL to have Dana Bash checked before she goes back out and puts her helmet back on.
But this is the question.
How did Stacey Abrams get nine points down?
I think it's AJC has her eight or nine points down.
How did that happen?
She was going to be the President of the United States.
How did this happen, Carolyn?
unidentified
Well, I'll tell you, she is on the losing end, the wrong end of every major issue right now in Georgia, and she can't escape it.
And I'll tell you what, Steve, if the moderators tonight Are half as good as the moderators on Friday night during the Senate debate.
Stacey Abrams should be very concerned because she's going to have to answer a lot of really tough questions.
Stacey Abrams supported vaccine mandates.
Stacey Abrams supported the forced masking of children, even while she decided to take the liberty to breathe freely around them.
Stacey Abrams supported the The election bill, 202 in Georgia, being called a racist bill, and ultimately the all-star game moving out of Georgia, costing this state $100 million, is some of the estimates.
She has spread conspiracies about abortion, saying that there's no such thing as a fetal heartbeat at six weeks, that it's a manufactured spout.
She's on the wrong side of every major issue, and I think that's what you're seeing reflected in the polls.
steve bannon
Carolyn's going to be on the Dr. Gina show.
They're going to be cutting in and out of this huge debate.
Carolyn, what's your social media?
How do people follow you also?
unidentified
I'm at carolynryantv on all the major social media sites.
Gatter, Truth, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
steve bannon
Caroline, thank you.
I look forward to this debate tonight.
It's going to be big.
Stacey Abrams, who was going to pass the presidency, came up against Kemp.
She's 8 or 9 down, and I agree with you.
Herschel Walker won that debate on Friday night.
He was totally prepared, but Warnock was not prepared for, really, moderators to ask real questions.
So, Caroline, you nailed it right there.
I look forward to seeing your analysis and commentary tonight.
Let me go to Grace.
I got Grace Chong and Captain Bannon from the War Room team.
Tonight, Grace, the Queen of the Trolls, Grace Chong.
Grace, you're covering Atlanta.
You're going to cover Tracy.
How do people get to it?
Is it going to be in your live stream?
And then you're going to have commentary and audience participation, ma'am?
unidentified
Yes, we definitely need all of MAGA to show up tonight.
And it's at 7 p.m.
It's just at Grace Chong.
It's at my Getter account.
And we definitely need everyone to participate, have an uncensored discussion.
And to end, Stacey Abrams, and just to tear her apart in the Getter chatroom.
steve bannon
Grace has a very nice and calm exterior.
The Twitter or the Getter comes in a little hot.
So, Grace, once again, where do people go?
unidentified
Grace Chong, C-H-O-N-G on Getter.
steve bannon
If you have not downloaded Gather, it's totally free, and you're going to have the time of your life.
They've got the best live stream.
They've got shows up all the time.
Captain Bannon and Grace, I think, are going to do a summary show starting the third weekend, but they've got so many debates.
They're going to be doing live streams every night, and you can participate.
Your stuff comes right up on the screen.
Captain Bannon, you're taking Ohio.
J.D.
Vance and Tim Ryan.
Didn't turn out well for Ryan the first time.
What do you anticipate tonight?
maureen bannon
I expect another strong debate from J.D.
Vance.
It is also at 7 o'clock tonight.
We need MAGA to turn out for this debate as well, and I will be live-streaming it on my gutter and providing commentary at the end, like I've done so far for some previous debates.
steve bannon
By the way, you took a real umbrage with Nicole Wallace and Morning Mika going after Keri Lake, and I know you know Keri personally.
Tell us what your thoughts are about that.
maureen bannon
I think that Keri Lake knows more than both of those women combined.
And I will stick to that comment.
steve bannon
You think they're being a little catty right now?
Aren't they being catty?
maureen bannon
I think they are.
And I think that when you can't back your statement up with facts, you attack someone's character.
We saw that in the debate this weekend with Joe Kent and his candidate that's running against him.
When she couldn't answer questions on this debate, she attacked his character and integrity or attempted to.
So I think that that's what they're trying to do with Kerry Lake as well.
steve bannon
7 o'clock.
What's your hand?
We got two.
We got Grace Chong taking Georgia, Mo Bannon's taking Ohio.
Where they get to yours, Mo?
maureen bannon
They can find me on getter at Maureen underscore Bannon.
I'm also on Twitter and Instagram, real Maureen Bannon.
There are people trying to fake my account.
So my Instagram is at real Maureen Bannon.
steve bannon
Okay, we got Grace Chong taking Georgia Tonight to Stacey Abrams debate with Governor Kemp.
We got Mo Bannon doing the J.D.
Vance.
Stick around.
We're going out throughout the country to talk about these races.
New York Times is covering warriors that are running.
Their heads are blowing up.
Plus, the real Anthony Fauci movie.
