steve bannon
This is what you're fighting for.
I mean, every day you're out there.
What they're doing is blowing people off.
If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power.
Because this is just like in Arizona.
This is just like in Georgia.
It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations.
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged.
As we've told you, this is the fight.
unidentified
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
kari lake
We had great patriots around this state show up today.
It was so amazing.
They showed up at the polls early this morning only to be told the election equipment didn't work.
Two minutes in, two minutes into voting, we had people being told, well, you're going to have to put your little ballot over here into another box.
Guys, the fake media back there tried to tell us we were wrong for asking questions about our elections.
Guess what?
We are going to win this.
We are going to win this.
How many of you remember a couple months ago, August 2nd, the primary election?
Wasn't that long ago.
We came out and they said, oh wow, they're 10 points down.
The fake news was asking us to concede.
And we kept climbing, climbing, climbing.
We turned 15 points around and we won by 5 points.
I just want you to know, it's early.
It's very early, and if we have to take this fight through, we will.
If it takes hours or days, we will.
But the great news is, every single drop of election ballots that have come in the last three drops have shown us up 85%, 87%, 81%.
I just want the propagandists back there to know, don't embarrass yourselves.
Don't embarrass yourselves.
unidentified
Thank you.
kari lake
Don't do it again, you've done it too many times.
But what I want you to know is that the same movement we had last night at that rally in Prescott, The same movement we had at that rally in Scottsdale.
The same movement we had at the rallies we've had before with record people is the same movement we have right this second.
Nothing has changed.
And I want you to know we are going to monitor the ballots.
We've got to work in this system that we have right now.
steve bannon
We've played that.
Okay, Memphis, thank you.
I could play that all day long and watch it time and time again.
That is Carrie Lake, and yes, she is the head of a movement and leader of a team.
I want to bring her Attorney General in.
Breaking news, Abe Hamaday, Captain Abe Hamaday, has now crossed over and leads In the Race for Attorney General in the great state of Arizona.
Abe, walk us through what's happening with your race and then pull the camera back and tell us what.
Abe joins us by phone.
And I gotta tell you, Abe, I'm so proud of you and the team.
You know, I left you guys in Prescott to come back here to do the coverage.
But what you guys did and then Kerry coming out last night and just being so forceful and so dynamic and no give up, no retreat.
Hey, here's the facts.
Here's what's happening.
Walk us through, Abe.
You now lead in this race.
Walk us through the math of your race and the rest of the races, sir.
unidentified
Absolutely.
Well, we love you, Steve.
Thank you for being out there at Prescott on the eve of the election.
You know, you're right.
We started out with the election down because of all the mail-in ballots, obviously, that were out.
But right now, and now it's going to be, the lead will expand quite dramatically.
I mean, we're looking at probably winning this race with over 7%, 8%, maybe even higher.
And I think it's just because of the, the day of voting.
So those who vote in line, who were waiting in line patiently, I mean, they were breaking our way, 75%, 80%.
It was quite historic, the amount of people there.
So we're obviously, our lead will continue to expand.
And then if you look at Carrie Lake, she's right behind me.
So she should be pulling up ahead within an hour, I'm guessing.
And after that, Mark Benjamin, Blake Masters, they're right there as well.
So I'm predicting a sweep on the Republican side here in Arizona.
And it's going to be pretty decisive, actually.
So I think me and Carrie will win with over 7% or 8%, Steve.
Just the mathematics, it's just pure data.
And it's in our favor.
We actually showed up, we showed up in person and we're going to run away with this race.
steve bannon
I can't tell you the amount of enthusiasm, the size and scale of this.
The guys doing the advanced work and setting these things up are my team from 2016.
And these guys are the pros from Dover.
And they were telling me, Mr. Bannon, we've never seen anything like this.
This is like Trump 15 and 16.
This is the type of enthusiasm, the size of crowds for an off-year election.
Abe, you just dropped a bombshell because the whole world's watching this now.
The whole world's watching it because they wanted Katie Hobbs.
You know, Morning Joe, they're all laughing.
They wanted Katie Hobbs to deliver a knockout blow on the movement that is Carrie Lake.
But they're no fan of yours either, right?
Every day I read another thing about how radical you are and I say, gosh, this guy for, you know, serving his country.
I don't know if they let radicals go do that.
But when you say seven and eight percent, so you're pretty confident now with the rest of the drops.
You don't think there are any gains?
There's no like, they're going to find a mass of early mail-in votes that were just kind of tucked in Maricopa County somewhere in one of these, you know, box number three that they just kind of had in the back room.
I know you've got Harmeet Dhillon, you've got a top team down there in the rooms, but you're a pretty tough lawyer.
You think we're pretty covered on that?
unidentified
I do.
And you know, actually those ballots that were dropped in the box number three, there's 17,000 of those.
And those will probably break our way, about 75% of the votes going to us, actually, because most of those people dropping in that box were in-person, you know, day of voting.
So I'm really confident.
I think this is, you know, it actually, yesterday proved in many ways, it gave us more of a backbone.
And it was an interesting way, Steve, because You know, we, this movement started like you always say, you know, after 2020 and how fitting is it again?
Maricopa County is an embarrassment.
It's for the rest of the country, a laughing stock because they screwed up the election.
30% of the, of the ballot counting machines, you know, were malfunctioning.
I mean, it is unacceptable.
And I think this is basically just re-highlighted the need for us to reform our elections.
And that's exactly what me and Carrie are committed to doing in January.
steve bannon
No, Abe, look, this is why I said the speech in Prescott and the other places, the other stops, is that, hey, President Trump, he's the first to admit when he ran and then after he won, he was actually kind of, one thing he was kind of shocked about is how much personally they came after him to destroy him.
Look, they're still trying to indict him in nine different things, trying to bankrupt him.
You guys, Hamaday, Blake Masters, and Kerry Lake, they were civilians.
They weren't politicians.
One was an army officer who was going to go be a prosecutor.
The other guy was a venture capitalist.
Kerry Lake was a TV personality, an anchor.
They knew what the media was going to do and the opposition was going to do to destroy them personally, to smear them and defame them, and they volunteered for it nonetheless.
That is courage.
And Abe, I think that's why as I've gone around Arizona and seen you guys in action and see the connection with these massive crowds, and that's why I knew if you just get to game day and you can do it, People are going to turn out, and it turned out massively.
You guys played this exactly right.
We just got to get this vote in.
And to see the mainstream media, what you just said right there, yesterday they were saying there was one or two technicalities, right?
And Gates came on TV.
One or two technicalities.
And of course, Carrie Lake and her crazy AG, Abe Hommaday, are blowing it out of proportion.
Abe Hommaday.
unidentified
Yeah, well, Steve, this is what they're trying to prevent us from doing, right?
Take a peek inside of all the election situation.
You know, they keep fucking the blame.
But if you look at Florida receives their results on the same day, they have a population much bigger than Arizona.
So I no longer tolerate incompetence.
And that's exactly what we keep witnessing here in Maricopa County.
You're exactly right about me, Terry Blake, being the political outsiders.
That's why they're so scared of us, Steve.
They know we can't be controlled.
We can't be manipulated.
We're here on a path, and we're going to get it done together.
steve bannon
Do you think by tomorrow night, Abe, we'll have this put to bed?
Is that your best guess right now, or will it be Friday?
unidentified
I'm already claiming victory, it's just the trajectory is definitely in our favor.
I think in an hour, Kerry will be leading very, very soon.
And whenever the big Maricopa County drop, which is expected tonight, I think that'll be really favorable for me and Kerry.
And I think Blake will probably be announced tomorrow, I'm guessing.
That's my prediction.
steve bannon
Fabulous.
Abe Hamadeh, how do people get you on social media?
You've become a beloved figure for our audience.
How do people get to you?
unidentified
Absolutely, Steve.
They can go on Truth, on Twitter, at Abraham Homiday, at Abraham Homiday, or on my website at www.Abe4AG.com.
steve bannon
Abe, fight on.
I look forward to following this tonight and tomorrow.
Thank you, sir.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
I got Mark Fincham.
Do I have Jack Posobiec?
No.
Posobiec dropped.
We're going to try to get him back up momentarily.
Let's go to the one and only Mark Fincham.
Mark, of course, you and Jim Marchant are the two that the mainstream media really wants scalps on.
And maybe I put Carey Lake in that crowd too, right?
At the top tier.
You know, Abe and Blake, because they're such decent, nice guys, they're maybe one notch down.
But I think it's the sore $7 million on your head and the $7 million you put on Marchant's head.
that he wants to scalp.
Give us your assessment.
You're going to step into this fiasco that is the elections.
And I gotta tell you, how can anybody, and I'm trying to say this as nonpartisan as possible, seeing the job that Katie Hobbs has done in the primaries and now seeing the job she's done as the Secretary of State, anybody that's a rational thinker, regardless of your politics, that would want to have somebody with that lack of management skills As your governor, I just got to question your judgment, but Fincham, tell us where you think you stand.
You know, Abe Hamade just passed over.
Tell us about your race.
mark finchem
Thank you, Steve.
I think that we are on the cusp of overtaking Adrian Fontes.
We've got a whole bunch of hundreds of thousands of ballots that need to be counted yet.
Cochise County just got off the phone with their recorder.
He's telling me that they're going to do a data drop probably around five, between five and six.
We're picking up at least 10,000 if not more there.
This is going to be an attrition war.
And we've got a lot of people who came into the polling places with their mail-in ballots just because they don't trust the system.
That's a higher level thought.
That we need to address.
People still do not have confidence in the system and we want to make sure that we reinforce that.
So where we're at right now, we've got several hundred thousand ballots that are going to be counted over the next probably 24 to 36 hours.
I'll be very surprised if we close this up by Thursday night.
I think it's going to be sometime on Friday, but here's the interesting piece to me, Steve.
Everybody wants to have election results on election night.
Yet we have a mutually exclusive program that has got so many ballots flying all over the place.
We've got 30 days of early voting.
We've got people that can drop their ballots off at the county.
We've got a day of voting.
We've got ballots that can be cured.
It's a hot mess.
And what we need to do is get to a much more structured organization.
If people really want to have their results on election night, we've got to end this madness.
We also have to end the use of electronic tabulation equipment.
I don't know if you saw the piece yesterday, but at the very beginning of the day, Anthem, Arizona, they had two ballot tabulation pieces of equipment, Dominion.
One of them wasn't even working.
And the other one was rejecting 25% of the ballots that were put into it.
Now, this is a throughput problem.
If you've got equipment that is not operating at an optimal level, and you have people who are standing by this and swearing, we're going to get these results for you as fast as possible, that's BS.
They want this to be delayed.
So we're going to take care of that in a few days as we move forward.
We are steadily gaining ground.
And the ballots that are to be counted in the coming hours, these are primarily Republican ballots.
These are people who don't trust the system.
They want to hand deliver.
They want to go to the polls.
They want to be a part of the solution.
They don't want to be discounted.
So we're expecting these to break 80 to 84% Republican.
And that includes independents, by the way.
It's not just Republicans.
unidentified
Wow.
mark finchem
We expect to overcome this in the next 36 hours.
In fact, I'm predicting we will win this by about a 120,000 vote margin.
unidentified
Wow.
steve bannon
That's incredible.
Ava just said that he thinks that he and Kerrigan won by 7 or 8 percent.
What are you predicting for yourself on a percentage basis?
What would you predict?
mark finchem
I think it's going to be pretty close to that.
steve bannon
Wow.
You're pretty confident in that, Fincham?
mark finchem
I am.
I am.
steve bannon
I just want to make sure the Guardian is in full meltdown right now on MSNBC.
Because I just had Marshawn on in the last hour.
Okay, and we got a dogfight from here on in.
As we sit here.
Right?
In the early evening in the nation's capital.
The imperial capital.
We have Jim Marchant in Nevada.
We have Mark Fincham in Arizona.
They were the two top targets of the Soros apparatus.
Right?
The two top targets.
Don't get me wrong.
You had Christine Caramo.
You had so many other great people.
But these two are considered the instigators.
Fincham because of Arizona and obviously association with with Kerry Lake in the big article today.
And the Guardian said Fincham was the first guy, the first denier out there in Arizona.
At the first moment.
And then, of course, Marchant is taking on the professional stealing operation that is Nevada, right?
They've come up now with 300 box mail-in boxes.
And, of course, the Culinary Union and the Harry Reid machine and all that.
So Marchant and Fincham have always been the top two targets.
And as we sit here tonight, you know, obviously dealing with all these ballots that are everywhere, different types of ballots, these two guys are leading.
Mark Fincham is behind, but you can see it's a path to victory here.
So I just want to understand, particularly the Guardian, that Mark Fincham is highly confident.
Mark, what's the easiest way, because sometimes you go to the Secretary of State, you're not actually getting, and of course I know that's going to change under you, but you go to the Secretary of State, you don't really get accurate information.
It's presented in a bizarre way.
Are you putting stuff up on your social media?
Where's the best place for people to follow your race, particularly the left-wing media that hates everything about you?
mark finchem
Uh, so, um, AZ Data Guru, uh, out on Twitter, um, it's, uh, Garrett Archer.
Quite frankly, I mean, he's, this is a guy who is probably more into data than he has politics.
And while I might not be happy with some of the stuff that he posts, this guy is all over this like ugly on an ape.
He wants to make sure that information is getting out to people as quickly as possible.
In fact, he alerted me to the Cochise County numbers that came out.
That was almost simultaneously to the conversation I was having with the recorder.
So we're this is breaking our way.
We got Pima County.
Surprisingly enough, put out numbers that were very favorable to us.
Now, keep in mind, on one of the tour stops that we had up in Catalina at Sammy's, we had about 200 people in the parking lot.
Three people raised their hand when we asked, have you already voted?
The rest of the people in that crowd said that they were going to vote on election day.
Now, that means you might spoil your ballot.
You might bring your ballot in and put it in the box.
It doesn't really matter.
At the end of the day, it has defeated the projection machine.
This is the machine that goes on in the background that knows how many votes have been cast for whom before election day.
And I think that it's critical when we get to a point where we're leading in the Secretary of State's office, we're going to put an end to this.
This advance notice of who's voted how.
We need to end that.
In fact, we've already got a plan that we're talking about to make sure that everybody's vote counts on election day.
steve bannon
No, we're going to stop all the madness.
That's why they hate you so much.
Mark Fincham, social media coordinates.
How do people get to you, brother?
It's been a long, what, 600-day journey?
Kelly Chebaka's on day 600.
Kelly Lake's on day 525.
Fincham's almost that close.
How do people get you on social media?
mark finchem
Well, they can look at Twitter at Real Mark Fincham.
They can go out to Getter, Truth Social.
We're on all the platforms, basically the same moniker.
But I would encourage people, do not get off of Truth Social and Getter.
But I want you to go out onto Twitter and play on all of those platforms because we are marching on the dominion of the left.
And I am so excited to see us go.
We've almost doubled our following on Twitter.
And, you know, a little bit of a shout out to Elon Musk.
Hey, thanks for standing up for an open society.
And I don't mean open border.
I mean, a civil society that has an open playing field for our ideas to be shared with the left so that we can inoculate them against a destructive pattern.
steve bannon
They're so open to have our ideas, but hey, I appreciate your naivety.
Your basic human warmth.
mark finchem
I'm calling it!
steve bannon
Okay, fine.
unidentified
Do it.
steve bannon
Elon Musk bought a crime scene.
I digress.
A lot's going to happen in the next couple of hours and then overnight into the morning.
So thank you very much.
Everybody's going to be on top of this, on the trigger.
Thank you, sir.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Let's go to Basobic.
Jack, you and Charlie Kirk and the team, you got Human Events Daily, Turning Point.
You guys took over coverage from us last night.
You got the REV show.
Put it in perspective, we had Abe at the top.
You know, let me just look at the flow of the show today.
I had earlier, I had Marchant, right, talking about Nevada.
We had Alex DeGrasse talking about all these House seats.
They think they're going to pick up 23 to 25.
So all this stuff about, hey, you know, it wasn't a red wave.
There's a big loss.
All nonsense.
We're taking the house.
We're taking the house significantly.
Then we just had Abe Hamaday.
Breaking news.
You're out there.
Abe Hamaday crosses over.
Fincham is very, very enthusiastic.
Put it in perspective for the audience.
You and Charlie have been on this Deeply, and particularly the numbers from the very beginning.
Where do we stand in Arizona?
unidentified
I mean, look, you know, Steve, we were here late into the night last night.
We've got the numbers right here.
We've got everything up.
We're crunching these ballot after ballot, batch after batch, break after break.
Here's what people need to understand about Arizona, specifically what they've done in this state.
The way that they've changed elections, and they used COVID to do this.
They did this in multiple states, by the way.
The way they changed them to do this shows that it's not about momentum.
You realize it feels like we're getting momentum today, but actually it's all about narrative.
Why?
Because in states like Florida, where they cleaned all of this up, where they did away with the mass mail-in ballots, the election's done, you know the results immediately.
Tennessee is the same way.
You know it immediately.
Kentucky, first in the nation to get done.
In Arizona, Carrie Lake won this race.
But they've deprived her of the media narrative.
They've deprived her of the momentum and now they're pushing for it.
And by the way, they've also deprived president Trump from one of his largest nominations coming forward.
jack posobiec
They've deprived all of this momentum to start these new narratives, the establishments out there, putting out narratives that never Trumpers are back in full swing, putting out their narratives because of the way they count the ballots.
unidentified
And because of how slowly.
They count the ballots.
The head of the snake for all of this has always been Maricopa County, and that is why Steve, you, Charlie Kirk, myself, we've all come here.
You spent all that time here in Arizona.
Charlie spent all this time in Arizona.
I'm here in Arizona.
We focused like a laser beam on Maricopa County and then picked a candidate like Carrie Lake to get behind President Trump.
Very, very smart to get behind her early on, push her over the finish line, then she blossomed into the greatest candidate, really the greatest candidate that we saw in this entire election season.
But Steve, we really need to get into the way that these states have changed the way they count their ballots because this is becoming the new normal across the entire Northern Tier and they are changing the way that we hold elections in this country and in the future.
steve bannon
I need you to go back and talk about this journey for a second with Charlie and Turning Point.
You guys are out there.
And every day, people don't understand that Arizona Republic—I've never seen an investigative report like this.
Every day, there's like 8,000 words, 10,000 words.
Charlie Kirk, he's got the Turning Point faith, the Turning Point—no, no, dude.
I mean, they're going to want to pull us, sir.
Because they always get the lefty guys.
They're more on Charlie Kirk than O'Keefe's on guys, right?
It just hasn't gotten traction because of such nonsense.
But man, Charlie's out there.
You spent a ton of time out there.
Burquam, Real America's Voice, was out there the first day.
Boris.
All the people that are deeply involved in this were all out there in the first hours of 2020.
And you're right.
But I want to explain to people, take us us again about why Maricopa County is the, why is it the head of the snake?
Why is it so important and why with all the media narrative you got out there, so when they crossed the line tonight and lead and then eventually win tomorrow, this is worth all a 2022, the midterms right here with Kerry Lake and that team.
Jack Pasovic.
unidentified
People need to understand what's happening here in Maricopa County is a disgrace.
It's the laughing stock of the Western world.
What they've done is completely up end the way ballots and elections and these people who want to talk about our sacred democracy.
They're the ones who upended it.
Not us.
They've destroyed the precinct system here.
They've destroyed our tradition of an election day.
They've turned it now into an election season.
They brought us into a new system, right?
And you saw this by the way, this explains Pennsylvania.
If you understand Pennsylvania explains Michigan.
They've created ballot harvesting machines, started with COVID.
But here in Maricopa, what they did is they created ballot centers and those big ballot centers where people can come into.
You can drop stuff off anytime.
You can go in there.
It's not related to your precinct.
Why did they break down the precinct system?
It's obvious.
They wanted to get rid of accountability.
When you go to a precinct that's your community, you know the people, they can look at your signature.
They don't need to verify it because they've seen you sign things before, alright?
They'll have the verification anyway.
My point is, they know you.
You can see them, they recognize your face.
Maricopa County, they've gotten rid of all that.
It's one of the largest counties in the entire country, by the way.
It's clearly the largest populace here in Arizona.
And the way the path to swinging the state comes through Maricopa.
Now, one thing of Tyler, my friend, Tyler Boyer, we're here right now.
He's been very big on this break up this County.
You have to decentralize power.
The centralization of power was entirely focused here on Maricopa County.
They completely changed the way election infrastructure was run.
Now, parts of this were exported to, they started in California, by the way, all this started in California.
But then parts of it were exported to Michigan, to Wisconsin, to Pennsylvania, and they're creating, Steve, a new system where, by the way, we're just in the transition of it.
We're just in the transition of it.
Universal mail-in ballots, that's what they want.
Ballot harvesting, that's what they want.
They want this to be a ballot collection gathering operation.
Votes, they don't want those to matter.
Rallies, door knocking, all that stuff, they don't want it to matter anymore.
Getting out to, you know, know the voters and kissing babies, no.
They're trying to do away with all of it.
They want this to be, and that's how you got a vegetable elected in the state of Pennsylvania, by the way, because they've turned it into a ballot gathering system.
The system now is what matters more in many of these states, but because of the focused efforts of people like Charlie Kirk, people like Carrie Lake, people like yourself, Steve, people like Tyler Boyer, we were able to beat that machine here and are able to turn it back over.
But in places like Michigan, places like Pennsylvania, it feels like that system is going to be in place much longer.
And Steve, by the way, The final goal of all of this is digital voting.
The final goal is digital voting.
steve bannon
Jack, just hang on one second.
I gotta drill down deeper in this and also put this all in context.
There's only Jack Pasoba can do it.
Short commercial break.
We'll be back in the War Room.
We're talking Arizona.
Ground Zero.
It started there.
It's gonna end there.
unidentified
next War room battleground with Stephen K. Bannon Bye.
steve bannon
Okay, let me give you some breaking news.
Out in Colorado, Lauren Boebert is actually 50-50.
Dead-tie, I think, is 62 votes.
Separates them.
So Alex DeGrasse gave us a heads-up in the last hour about this.
There's, I don't know, 30 seats right now that they're in dogfights over.
This is going to be tough.
It's going to be butt-relentless.
They're lawyered up.
They've got people in there checking the ballots.
Nobody's going to back off.
Jack Posobiec is in Arizona.
He's going to join us in a second, but I want to go to Laura Blackwell.
Laura, you were on the show a couple of weeks ago.
You've been on a couple of times.
Because you ran for the school board and you put out there what the truth was, you were more viciously attacked than probably any guest that we've had.
And that's saying something, because we have guests that specialize in getting attacked.
But good news yesterday.
Tell us what happened.
Tell us your journey and then what was the payoff yesterday.
unidentified
Yeah, it's definitely been a journey, Steve, for sure.
So journey has been that material was brought up in board meetings that was discovered in our libraries here and read that material out loud.
Obviously it was material that shouldn't have been in the school system exposed to children.
It's certainly without parents being aware of that material.
And it's been quite a journey.
Um, been censured or brought up for censure multiple times.
Uh, now within the last couple of months, um, this election has been extremely vicious and difficult.
Um, but thankfully last night, I think parents came and spoke out and, uh, we were able to pull off a victory and I happened to end up on top and was the top vote getter last night.
So, um, I'm very appreciative and humbled by that opportunity to I want to by the way, this is a North Carolina correct.
of Cabrera County for the next four years.
steve bannon
I want to, by the way, this is in North Carolina, correct?
I want to make sure that people understand.
You're, you were not an activist, man.
You're, you're just a mom and you see this essentially pornography that's put into school.
And you said, Hey, I can't let this go.
This can't happen to my children, to other children.
And for that, you were viciously attacked and singled out.
And then last night you were the top.
I just want to make sure the audience understands this.
As they're going through all this, they're trying to destroy you.
Last night on game day, you, you get the top votes.
You're the top vote getter.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
I just, first of all, it's so many parents that have rallied around me.
I have an entire group of families that came out yesterday to the voting locations and passed out papers with my name as well as two other amazing candidates that I just have to please give a shout out to.
Melanie Freeman and Sean Turner that unfortunately didn't get on the school board with me, but I have so much respect for.
They are conservative Christians.
They have been in this fight with me for the last few months and these parents that rallied around us and passed out sample ballots with our names on them and telling voters please vote for these people.
These are people that truly want to make sure that we are protecting our children and they just Show up in droves yesterday.
It was mind blowing.
We're obviously extremely exhausted, but I am extremely humbled by the passion and the groups that have just rallied around us in order to get me back on that school board to be there to fight for our children.
Unfortunately, I.
was elected with two other Democrats.
There were three seats open.
So these next four years, I have a feeling are not going to be easy, but I am certainly going to be standing in the gap and making sure that we got to make sure that our kids are protected.
And I will be doing that for the next four years.
And I'm truly grateful for that opportunity.
steve bannon
Take a minute or two.
I mean, it'd be very easy for you to go live your life and do everything like that.
You understand by not just the Democrats on the board, but all the media circuits around it, you're going to be viciously attacked again.
Why then do you do it?
unidentified
I have a passion for doing what I believe is right.
And as a Christian, I feel like I was put here To use this opportunity to be the salt and the light of the earth.
And a lot of folks will say that I'm just a radical Christian, conservative, fascist, Nazi.
But parents know that that's not the truth.
They know that the reason why that I'm there is to fight for their children and to fight for their rights as parents.
And that was made extremely apparent yesterday.
I did want to tell you, Steve, thank you.
If you'll please tell your sister, thank you.
Sloan told me that she was phone banking for me a couple of days ago, which absolutely blew me away.
So thank you very much for that.
steve bannon
I just want to let you know, we had to get the script and keep it a script.
My baby, my kid sister's been known to go off script, okay?
So we had her Sloan, we had her, uh, no, on script.
I'm just teasing, but this shows you, there's people around the country that, and around obviously North Carolina, that have pitched in here and work phonebacks and we're getting even more people engaged.
Um, Laura, your story is, uh, is, uh, One that inspires a lot of people.
How can people find out more about you?
Where do they go?
How do they connect with you?
And how do they, you share that story so that we can get it out to everybody that, hey, once you try to do this, it's not going to all be an easy path, right?
It's a narrow rocky path, but if it's your journey, it's your journey.
So where do people go to find that?
unidentified
It is extremely a difficult journey.
And, and I, um, And just extremely grateful for this opportunity to keep going and keep being that voice for these parents.
You can go to Laura Blackwell at Cabarrus.
I'm sorry.
You can go to Laura for Cabarrus County Schools on my Facebook page and you can reach out to me on email at lwblackwell78 at gmail.com.
And I'm just thank you so much, Steve.
I appreciate you allowing me the opportunity to speak out against this.
We all have to do this.
It is extremely important over the next several years to make sure that we stand up and stand in the gap.
steve bannon
Laura, it's an honor.
This is why we have the platform honor to have you on here.
unidentified
Thank you so much.
steve bannon
I think it's Newsweek with Tiffany Justice has a big article about people like Laura that say it's the most significant political movement that's come along in 40 or 50 years as parental rights and these moms engage.
Posobiec, before we get back down into the mud of Maricopa County's voting systems, you had the lovely Mrs. Posobiec.
Tani was out with you guys.
In Arizona is out there.
Um, and this movement, we see Laura Blackwell and you see Carrie Lake.
There's something different here than people just motivated for politics.
There's something much deeper to this and it's much more, not just inspirational.
It's a, it's a driving motive force, sir.
unidentified
There was a line, there was a line that Carrie Lake had at a rally the other night.
I was at her, I spoke at her last rally there at, uh, in Scottsdale at the airport.
And there was a line she said, she said, there is no more dangerous place.
In nature than standing between a mama bear and her baby cub.
There's no more dangerous place in nature.
And that's what they've done.
They've triggered deep-seated spiritual and biological warning systems in the moms and dads, dads too, but particularly the moms, because you will get a revolt on your hands.
And I believe me, I see it with my wife, you know, if you say something about me, yeah, she'll be upset, but she'll be like, all right, Jack can take care of itself.
But if, If one of her kids is in danger, she just, she will run through a wall.
And you've heard, of course, all these stories about moms going to protect their kids.
When you put children in danger that switches on mama bears, women, this is why you're getting married women.
This is why you're getting mothers, grandmothers coming out and turning into a real political force.
That's never been seen before in America.
steve bannon
This is what, you know, this was the Junkin model, you know, it wasn't, he didn't think it up.
This was the model that was set up by, it's overwhelming MAGA.
MAGA has to come and MAGA has to be there and make sure you're generating 100% of the MAGA vote.
And then you have to add in the coalition, the moms, many of whom are not Donald Trump fans, right?
And they don't need to be.
As long as they're part of the Coalition for Parental Rights.
Is that this tectonic plate shift, and you obviously add the diversity of the Hispanics, the African Americans, all that, that this is the coalition that's going to change things like 1932?
unidentified
Look, if you can put this together.
Um, you, this is a way, by the way, and, and, and we've seen this, look at the numbers of last night, look at the demographics.
Of course, you know, we're looking at these exit polls, but you have the Republican party and the conservatives have to find a way back to getting that college educated voter.
You've got.
Working class votes.
You've got non-white working class.
You got white working class.
Sure.
Got it.
MAGA's got that.
Trump's got that.
How do you come back to the college voter?
How do you come back to that college voter is in the suburbs.
That's college-educated, has a good job, is a professional, upward trajectory, all that stuff.
What upward mobility?
What is the answer?
This is that answer.
Parental rights, the right over who gets to govern and decide how your children are treated, how your children are medicated, how your children are taught while they're in school, all of these things.
The gender issues, gender in sports, all of it.
Parental rights opens that door.
In a way that I don't even think back in 2016, we realized existed.
steve bannon
I want to go to something else.
You're a guy from up in Pennsylvania and, you know, the big media markets of Boston and, you know, all the way down the Sella Corridor, New York, the Tri-City area, Philadelphia, then Baltimore down to Washington.
They have a certain mindset.
You know, they see the news, it's got the big news anchors, but even the local news is almost like broadcast news.
So many stories out west, even when I lived in California for so many years, California feels like a different country.
Even a lot of stuff that happens in California never really filters back.
And the news, political news, really gets to California kind of late and not as powerful.
Arizona and Nevada are even more so.
People don't really realize what's been going on in Arizona the last couple of years.
Describe it for us.
I say even though Florida is just amazing and the bastion that Ron DeSantis and the team have built down there is incredible.
Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Ohio.
You've got some real MAGA things.
But there's something that's in Arizona that's different.
There's something in Arizona that gave us Cary Lake, that gave us Blightmasters, that gave us Abe Hamaday.
Talk to us about a second.
You've spent a ton of time out here and Charlie's out here.
Virtually full-time.
unidentified
What is it about Arizona that's so different and why is this a victory?
I've been here a dozen times over the last year.
Arizona's really become a second home for me.
Charlie, by the way, keeps trying to get us to move out here.
He's working on Tanya.
I don't know.
We'll see.
Something about us Poles living in the desert.
It's just a little bit different, but we'll see.
One of the issues with Arizona, when Arizona was having this flirtation with a purple state, Uh, cinema is, is, is emblematic of this was because of these California voters, California movers that were all coming into Arizona.
And from 2014 through 2016, they were really, really driving Cal, uh, Arizona from a, just a bright red state into that purple column.
They were doing that.
However, if you look Steve at the new voters that are coming into California or excuse me, coming into Arizona from California.
From 2016 on, and particularly, particularly from 2020 into 2022, through COVID, through the lockdowns, through hair gel Hitler, uh, the Gavin Newsom, it's been MAGA conservatives from California that are fleeing.
They're fleeing the high taxes.
They're fleeing the mandates.
They're fleeing the lockdowns.
They were all coming to Arizona and it's been them coming over.
It's been the shift in Hispanics.
It's been the keen, laser-like focus of people like Tyler Boyler, people like Charlie Kirk, working these areas.
And by the way, Turning Point Action.
Turning Point Action has hit a ground game in this state, both here and in Florida, like you've never seen anywhere in the country.
They're going precinct by precinct.
They're dialed in with their micro-targeting.
They are out every single weekend, knocking doors.
Ana Paulina Luna, by the way, was one of their endorsements.
You've seen you can see their ability to flip states.
So it's because of that laser focus these demographic issues.
We're talking about the movers in the MAGA refugees from California coming into Arizona and then Kerry Lake.
I mean, there's been some great candidates.
We have the Republican Party has a fantastic bench, but Kerry Lake I think is is in a class by herself as a candidate.
We are only moments away, by the way.
Maricopa County is going to announce a massive batch here in about one hour's time.
Steve, she's going to take the lead.
She's going to take the lead and she's going to be the next governor of Arizona.
And it's because of all this hard work, but it's also because of who she is and what she represents.
steve bannon
I want to announce that I'm going to be on a live stream.
If I can technically hook it up, and I've got my crack team here, if I can hook up on the live stream, I'm going to join Jack Pasovic and Charlie Kirk for this drop.
It's that important.
unidentified
We'll be right here in this room.
I'm kind of just warming it up for everybody.
steve bannon
This is the room from last night.
Two things I've got to cover with you now that we've got some time, and I've wanted to do this.
Number one, I've got to ask you, and don't take this the wrong way, because I know you're a son of Pennsylvania.
What in the hell is wrong with that state?
And what I mean is the Republican Assembly reason...
You don't have a governor and you don't have Oz as a senator.
Don't blame the left.
Don't blame Fetterman, you know, the cyborg.
Blame the Republican establishment, particularly the business community.
What is the problem with the Commonwealth, sir?
unidentified
Steve, let me explain what's going on in Pennsylvania.
You saw this in Michigan as well, but really, really strongly in Pennsylvania.
We've gone away from an election day.
We've gone away from an election, uh, 72 hours.
They've turned it into an election season, but here's the problem.
Republicans were asleep at the wheel on this Democrats sat out there and they've turned this into a vote gathering operation.
And so people need to understand conservative tree house, by the way, has a fantastic article up about this.
There is now a difference in these States where all the COVID policies are still in place.
There is now a difference between votes and ballots.
steve bannon
They have a ballot gathering apparatus.
Different than a citizen voting, they're in the business of ballot gathering, correct?
unidentified
It's all harvesting, Steve.
And whether that's targeted at universities and you're getting the Gen Z, whether it's targeted at nursing homes, you're doing the granny harvesting, the super seniors, right?
This is what they are doing.
Gone are the days of driving people out to the polls for G.O.T.V.
in the last 72 hours.
Hey, come out on election day!
Come out on election day!
Come out on election day!
No.
No.
If you're in a state like Pennsylvania or a state like Michigan, we saw this in Wisconsin, by the way, as well with the governor's race with Evers, they are simply gathering and collecting all their votes before election day.
They're putting it all in the bank.
So even if Even if they only get 25% of game day, it doesn't matter because they're hitting voters, Steve, with on demand voting.
That's what they've turned it into.
It's on demand voting.
And honestly, unless you're in a state, unless you're in a state like Florida, where they've been able to lock it down, where Georgia, where they were able to get that bill passed with Kemp.
Um, unless you're in a state like Arizona, where you have this huge apparatus of on the right to be able to fix things and overcome it.
The only way to fight back against this is with a machine of your own.
And Steve, I think this is where it's going.
I think we're in a transition period right now on this.
We have to completely rethink the way that we run elections in states like this, Steve.
The idea of us just going to hold rallies and then drive motivation and get people excited, whip them up.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's all gone.
It has to be a systematic algorithmic Process.
We have to put the system over the goal.
What do I mean by that?
I mean, not a 72-hour window, a 72-day window of an election season.
And by the way, this is where TikTok comes in because they were running TikTok operations.
Biden, when he brought those influencers in, guess what?
They were able to translate that into votes.
And if conservatives don't like it, well, I'm sorry, because I'm not here to pour sweet nothings into your ear.
I'm here to tell you the truth.
They were able to utilize TikTok and convert that into real votes, not registrations, not, Oh, I called and I made a poll.
No real votes.
That's why it was underestimated in these models because they've turned it into a new ballot gathering strategy.
They've taken, they said it was for COVID, but guess what?
It's here to stay.
Steve, I'll tell you another thing.
They're making this on demand.
Why?
Millennials, Gen Z, they love on demand.
That's Netflix, right?
Everything's in your house.
Their final stage for all of this is to have blockchain approved digital voting from your phone.
That's where it's going.
steve bannon
So how do we stop?
We've got two minutes.
How does Jack Posobiec and the team stop?
We stop it in Arizona?
Is this where we stop it and turn it around and take that to Michigan into Pennsylvania?
Because if we have that, we're going to have total, it's exactly what the founders didn't want.
It's kind of mob rule.
unidentified
Steve, it's a two-pronged approach, right?
So you've got states in the Sun Belt where we've been able to lock it down.
So Arizona, we're going to fix that.
Carrie Lake's going to fix that.
Mark Fincham's going to fix that.
Abe Hamade, who by the way, when all this is said and done, Abe Hamade might be ahead.
of Cary Lake because he's just blowing it out over there, not by a lot, but a little bit.
We can lock it down in the South, but in the North, we're going to have to fight fire with fire. We're going to need to rethink the way that we run elections in these states if we want to flip these blue states back ever. That's how you get a vegetable. That's how you get a guy who's not even alive elected in Pennsylvania because it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. The issues don't matter. The news doesn't matter. All that matters is who gets out the most ballots.
steve bannon
And the rallies look like something from a buggy, you know, a whip and a buggy.
unidentified
The rallies don't matter at all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the pony express horse and buggy.
steve bannon
How do you get, uh, to you, Jack Pasovic, how'd they get to the show, the podcast, uh, the human events daily, all of it.
unidentified
Well, it's very important to everybody.
Pick out your phones, go to human events daily on your podcast app.
Go follow me there.
Of course, Twitter, getter, truth, I'm keeping up my getter.
I'm definitely keeping up my getter.
I'm keeping my truth, my telegram.
And then make sure to follow me, Charlie Kirk, and everybody else because we're going to be coming back after this and we're going as long as it takes tonight.
As long as it takes tonight.
Covering everything on the Charlie Kirk live stream.

steve bannon
Kerry Lake, nothing could be more important.
Okay, we're going to be back here at 10 o'clock.
I'm going to be in the live stream.
I'll put it up on Getter of how you get to it.
Also, tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., we'll be back live here on Real America's Voice for the War Room.

Blake Master is going to win out in Arizona.
Laxalt in Nevada.
Lauren Boebert, 62 votes in Colorado.
Be back here tomorrow.
