Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| You're not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | |
| It's Saturday, 26 November in the year of our Lord 2022. | ||
| And as usual, we got a lot to go through today. | ||
| A lot of people on, a lot of news, a lot of signal and no noise. | ||
| We're going to have MTG on later, Mike Lindell, Darren Beattie, of course, Natalie Winters, Dr. Malone, Matthew Tiermann. | ||
| We're going to go from Brazil to China, talk about NATO, The lame duck that's right before us. | ||
| What they're trying to do is push through historic spending and take care of the debt limber. | ||
| We're going to get to all of that. | ||
| Talk about Elon Musk and the house clearing over at Twitter. | ||
| Mike Lindell and the RNC, all of it. | ||
| I want to start with Libby Emmons. | ||
| Jack Posobiec and the team and Charlie Kirk and you've got Post Millennial just does such an amazing job. | ||
| And Libby, as you know, has been on the show many times. | ||
| She follows, you know, she's one of the top reporters over at Post Millennial and normally we have her on breaking news about, you know, the groomer situation and everything that's going on on the cultural side. | ||
| She did a really an amazing story yesterday about this situation down in Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| I think Libby's the best person to walk us through it. | ||
| Libby Emmons, thank you for taking time away from your holiday weekend. | ||
| First off, To actually gather the facts and write the story. | ||
| I imagine that put a crimp into a little bit into Thanksgiving Day. | ||
| Um, but, uh, walk us through, walk us through your story. | ||
| Tell us what happened. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I wasn't there from what I can gather. | ||
| However, um, Kanye West asked for a meeting with, uh, former president Trump. | ||
| They have a long standing relationship and Kanye showed up at Mar-a-Lago, uh, on Thanksgiving. | ||
| And he brought along some friends with him and they, uh, they sat down together. | ||
| One of these friends is a notorious white supremacist, um, who lots of people have been canceled just for being in photographs with just for, uh, you know, really talking to. | ||
| And from what I came to understand, um, Trump did not know who this man was, uh, before they sat down. | ||
| And eventually, what it seems like, and Kanye West alludes to this in a video recast he did of the meeting, it seems like they were asked to leave. | ||
| So that's my understanding. | ||
| Lots of stuff has come out since then. | ||
| I spoke with a source close to the president who confirmed that what Kanye said was correct, and it seems like a I mean, I hate this story. | ||
| I gotta tell you, this seems like a major troll operation, and what I'd be really interested to know is who benefits the most from sending Kanye off to Mar-a-Lago with a white supremacist. | ||
| Why do you say, Libby, you're pretty savvy, and the team over at Post Millennial is about as good as it gets. | ||
| You guys punch way above your weight. | ||
| Why is it a story that Libby Evans hates? | ||
| I hate it because it does not seem to... The story does not seem to be what the story seems to be, if that makes sense. | ||
| Seems like there's a lot going on behind the scenes. | ||
| Who connected all of these people? | ||
| Who suggested that this was a good idea? | ||
| And it doesn't seem like we know all of the background facts. | ||
| It feels like a massive trolling operation that someone was perhaps looking to Disrupt Trump. | ||
| His staffers were likely on vacation for Thanksgiving, home with their families, so he didn't likely have a lot of people around to give him insight into who this fellow was. | ||
| And yeah, I just think that there's a lot we don't know about what went into getting this meeting together. | ||
| You say that, because that's a He definitely knew who Kanye West was. | ||
| The center part of the story is not the other individual. | ||
| The center part of the story is why is President Trump? | ||
| And look, he can have dinner whoever he wants, right? | ||
| But he's announced that he's running for president. | ||
| He's got his entire MAGA base is maniacally focused on this. | ||
| The counter argument against him by everybody is that he's a loser. | ||
| He's only going to lose. | ||
| So we have to both win the primary. | ||
| When the general and you see what's happening in Arizona. | ||
| Now, we're talking about that, but there's a great piece up. | ||
| I think on I think it's a great piece up on the Arizona Sun Times or on the Western Journal that talks about if you if Kerry Lake if they're not successful. | ||
| And really changing the dynamic here in the next couple of days about this clearly stolen election here in Arizona today is going to make it quite difficult to win in 2024. | ||
| So President Trump has all these forces arrayed against him, and what you need is focus, focus, focus. | ||
| Why even the dinner? | ||
| Isn't the bigger issue here even the dinner with Kanye West? | ||
| Because when you say trolling operation, The thing that got me about your story was, and I think the centerpiece of this today that people are missing is that when Kanye West, you know, as a smart aleck... | ||
| Um, insults the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, by saying, why don't you be, why don't you run as my, I'm here to offer you my, to run as my Vice President, because I'm running, I'm telling you now, I'm announcing that I'm running, uh, and I'm here to offer you the Vice Presidency. | ||
| And, and they exchanged words. | ||
| I think it got a little, according to your reporting, got a little heated. | ||
| And I think the implication yours is that is that they were shown that they were essentially shortly thereafter shown the door the dinner came to some sort of it look look like or what I've heard and from your reporting some sort of fairly. | ||
| It was it was over shortly thereafter in a fairly heated exchange about what President Trump thought of his offer what President Trump thought of his potential as a as a realistic candidate. | ||
| And I think President Trump actually made a maybe a comment or two about his former wife of which it looks like Kanye didn't take didn't take that didn't take that didn't that didn't sit well with him. | ||
| So this thing got acrimonious closely and that we'll get into the people around him allow this to happen. | ||
| So the trolling operation. | ||
| Is to me, isn't it Kanye West coming and really insulting Donald Trump with this kind of a smart aleck glib. | ||
| Hey, I'm going to run for president and again, right? | ||
| I guess he thinks in his mind or gotten a couple of states and ran last time and offers Donald Trump to run as his vice president Libby Evans. | ||
| Yeah, I think that you're right about that as well. | ||
| I think the whole thing was an abysmal. | ||
| You know, um, but yeah, I, I think that Kanye West and Donald Trump had a longstanding relationship and I don't think that, uh, I don't know why Trump would look at it and say, Oh, this is definitely going to go badly. | ||
| If I invite this man, um, you know, who has requested a meeting over to my house when they, they've known each other for a long time back when he was in the white house, et cetera. | ||
| But yeah, I wonder what it is that who's, you know, putting Kanye West up to this. | ||
| Kanye West clearly has, um, some mental issues of late. | ||
| He's made rather unpleasant remarks. | ||
| I don't know why he thinks he would have, um, a chance other than his own insane ego here. | ||
| And, uh, yeah, I mean, I don't think it's actually that crazy that Donald Trump would have him over for For any reason, they've met multiple times before. | ||
| So I do think that a lot of this has to do with trying to get in Trump's way to a certain extent. | ||
| What has been your assessment of, I mean, how did this, is there any, as your reporting show, I understand it's holidays, but, you know, when you're president or ex-president, you still have staff around, and that staff is in constant communication. | ||
| You know, we have things called smartphones. | ||
| We have things called laptops. | ||
| You're in constant communication all over the world. | ||
| So I understand there's not people on site, or maybe there's a handful of people on site. | ||
| There's still the Secret Service. | ||
| People have to be screened going in. | ||
| But how did senior staff I mean, it kind of beggars belief that senior staff didn't know that Kanye... Kanye West is not a small personality. | ||
| Kanye West, for all of his faults and all the comments and hateful remarks he's made, in here recently, he's a global creative force of nature. | ||
| And when a guy like that comes to Mar-a-Lago, it's a thing. | ||
| What's your reporting show that how did senior staff not know about this? | ||
| Because this speaks to deeper issues. | ||
| If the senior staff didn't know this was going on, the question's got to be, because there's a lot of questions right now, you know, why is Trump not firing off the football? | ||
| Why we're getting ready for this? | ||
| Really, a lame duck session that could essentially change financially and economically the direction of the country if they do certain things on the debt ceiling. | ||
| If they pass this defense authorization bill of almost a trillion dollars, has all this woke stuff, all the woke elements in it. | ||
| If they pass the Omnibus of two trillion dollars, how's this going to be financed? | ||
| Twenty-three in his run for the nomination His run, actually, in the general. | ||
| What he's going to be presented as president, so much of that is going to be predicated upon what happens in the next six weeks. | ||
| That you don't see any policy proposals out. | ||
| You don't see him in the middle of it. | ||
| You don't hear about him making phone calls. | ||
| You don't hear, I mean, the kind of things you need to do, the tough, nitty gritty work you need to make yourself relevant in that. | ||
| You just don't see it. | ||
| And so, how does senior staff, and I think the question's got to be, are the right people there? | ||
| And if there are the right people, is there communication? | ||
| Are there people that are not communicating? | ||
| And did the staff think that this was a good idea, to have Kanye West come down and have dinner when the purpose in Kanye's West mind and the people around Kanye West knew exactly what they were doing? | ||
| Let's just be blunt. | ||
| It was a troll. | ||
| You said it was a trolling operation. | ||
| Gonna go down. | ||
| They wanted the story to be. | ||
| They want the story to be that Kanye West and his magnet, you know, magnanimously offered Donald J. Trump the vice presidency on his ticket to insult Trump, to put Trump in his place, to make Trump look more irrelevant, to feed into the Chris Christie, because you saw Bolton and Christie and all these guys jumping on it right away, that he lacks judgment, he's not relevant, he's not focused. | ||
| So this was well thought through. | ||
| This just didn't happen. | ||
| Right? | ||
| The staff should know that. | ||
| The staff should be on top of that. | ||
| The staff should be doing interventions into this, if that's the case, and make sure that this type of stuff doesn't happen. | ||
| So what is your reporting telling you about that? | ||
| Well, I think that they played right into Kanye West's hand and whoever is, you know, working behind the scenes and pulling those strings. | ||
| They played right into this outrage machine. | ||
| They wanted this to be about, you know, everybody getting angry and jumping up and down and going crazy and pulling their hair out. | ||
| And of course, that's exactly what happened. | ||
| I'm not sure what's going on with staff. | ||
| I think that they probably should have been a lot more careful about this. | ||
| Undertaking and allowing this to go forward. | ||
| I do remember hearing years ago, uh, when Trump took the White House, that there was difficulty staffing because there was so much consternation about, um, you know, proximity to Trump ruining your career at a later point. | ||
| So I do remember that being an issue, um, back then. | ||
| I don't know if that continues to be an issue in terms of people not wanting to, uh, come on board. | ||
| But I think you're right also about the situation with policy. | ||
| I was recently at the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas and a bunch of GOP presidential nominee hopefuls Trotted out onto stage, there was Pompeo and Pence. | ||
| Nikki Haley teased a potential run. | ||
| Trump came in from Mar-a-Lago and DeSantis was there. | ||
| And I was particularly listening for policy points because to me, the main consideration in electing a president is what are they going to do for the country and their capability of getting those things done. | ||
| That's what I want to hear about. | ||
| I don't care about your personality. | ||
| I want to know what you're going to do for the American people. | ||
| Because the government is, it's the people's, right? | ||
| The government doesn't run the people. | ||
| The people run the government. | ||
| And I think too often we forget that. | ||
| So yeah, I think that voters should hold these people to account. | ||
| Tell us what you want to do for the country. | ||
| Stop placating us or trying to make us mad with a whole bunch of celebrities and nonsense. | ||
| You know, what do you want to do? | ||
| Libby, how do people get to Post Millennial and how do they follow you? | ||
| Because I know there'll be other additional reporting on this story and the other things you're working on. | ||
| How do they get to you? | ||
| I'm at Libby Emmons on Twitter and ThePostMillennial.com Libby, great reporting. | ||
| I thank you for doing this from your car. | ||
| You now have permission to go back into your house. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Post Millennial. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | |
| OK, welcome back. | ||
| Saturday, 26 November, Eurovillor 2022. | ||
| Just so there's a full understanding for this audience of what I was talking about right then, we have this is much more difficult than 2015 and 2016. | ||
| Then they didn't take Trump seriously. | ||
| They didn't take the Trump movement seriously. | ||
| It was dismissed and derided and and and just not taken seriously. | ||
| President Trump won the primary right and then went on to win the general and one of the reasons I just did not take him seriously. | ||
| Now they're waiting. | ||
| They got all the traps laid. | ||
| About political capital, but two, about the straight and narrow path you have to run. | ||
| We have to be maniacally focused. | ||
| That's why our watchword around here at War Room is no days off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| And that's just not about working every day. | ||
| It's about every second of every day. | ||
| You've got to be committed to this. | ||
| You have to be. | ||
| That's why we have this new open. | ||
| If your task and purpose is to save your country, your country will be saved. | ||
| But that has to be your task and purpose. | ||
| And we're not going to win them all. | ||
| Okay, as you guys know, you've been on this show enough years, you're not going to win them all. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| We're going to win more of the important ones than we lose. | ||
| And that's how we make progress, because this is a grind. | ||
| You're not going to have a magic wand. | ||
| It's not going to be, you know, drain the swamp, build the wall, you know, lock her up, all that. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| Those are great. | ||
| And they motivate people and grab people. | ||
| But this is about hard grinding work. | ||
| There are things before us, like the lame duck, where the administrative state in combination with the giant corporations are going to try to make some huge structural changes here that we can't unwind, that you can't unwind, or all your time is possessed by trying to unwind that. | ||
| They understand that. | ||
| These are smart, tough, cunning people that have tremendous power and tremendous resources. | ||
| And that's what's up again. | ||
| So there are no days off. | ||
| There can't be a second. | ||
| If you're committed to do it, you're committed to do it. | ||
| And it's just not about the performative part of it. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And I think that people... | ||
| All people in the Trump movement, all the people that work for President Trump, and President Trump himself, have to understand this is a different game. | ||
| This is a different game. | ||
| It's a harder game. | ||
| It's a tougher game. | ||
| Because they understand exactly what we stand for as populists and nationalists, and they understand exactly what we want to do with the direction of the country. | ||
| And that's where they're going to fight us every step of the way. | ||
| And so this incident that happened the other day, that's the type of thing to me that just takes people's eye off the ball but also starts to question, like, what is going on here? | ||
| Where is the work? | ||
| Like for instance this Monday start – I don't think Schumer and Nancy Pelosi don't want to run the tables, understanding that Nancy Pelosi is not going to have power, and they're probably not going to have power in the House. | ||
| For hopefully a decade, they're not going to try to do some fundamental things, like the debt ceiling, like a two trillion dollar omnibus bill, like passing a defense authorization that's another trillion dollars, but more importantly, or as bad as that is, having endemic lease in there, all these woke policies. | ||
| That'll take us years to unwind. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| And there's many more than that. | ||
| There's many more than that. | ||
| Federal takeover elections. | ||
| All types of... The Guardian has a story up today. | ||
| I've got it. | ||
| I think it's pinned at the top. | ||
| The Guardian's kind of the left wing, you know, newspaper they've laid out. | ||
| They're already ahead of it. | ||
| These people have been working nonstop ever since the day they lost, even before they lost. | ||
| Those are the types of things. | ||
| And then starting next year, right? | ||
| What do you challenge the Biden administration? | ||
| What do you call, how do you call their bluff about shutting down, let them shut down the government? | ||
| Is it on the border? | ||
| Exactly what's going to happen with Title 42? | ||
| What's happening in Ukraine today? | ||
| The big story in the Daily Mail and papers throughout the world is the European Union is accusing the Biden regime with everything they're doing and pushing Ukraine of war profiteering off of all the money, your tax dollars. | ||
| They're taking these billions of dollars and shoveling it in there. | ||
| And now the coalition is saying, well, the United States is doing this because they're making money off it, right? | ||
| So there's so many complex, and we've only scratched the surface of what's going on. | ||
| Election Integrity, we have Mike Lindell up here, he's dedicated his life. | ||
| You know, for people say, Mike Lindell's crazy, he's running around, you know, he's a nutcase, everything like that. | ||
| Mike Lindell has dedicated his life as a patriot and put his company in play to be crushed because he believes to the core of his being that if we don't get these elections right, It's going to be very tough to turn around the country, and look what's happening in Arizona. | ||
| Look what's going to happen on Monday in Arizona. | ||
| Yes, there's a fight, and we're fighting, and Carrie Lake won it, but Mike Lindell is like an Old Testament prophet. | ||
| Mike Lindell was right, right? | ||
| Everybody else was wrong, and the people just kind of abandoned and walked away and looked the other way, and the establishment is just going to go away. | ||
| Well, that's not the case. | ||
| This is hard, grinding work. | ||
| This is the most powerful country, not just in the world today, it's the most powerful country in the history of mankind and can be a great force for good if properly led. | ||
| And the way to be properly led is let the American people lead it, okay? | ||
| That's what populism is, is that the people are sovereign. | ||
| And Mike Lindell is given of his heart, his being, his money, his company, everything to do that. | ||
| Mike Lindell, I was saying I'm quite frustrated on some of the stories we're hearing coming out of certain parts of the country because it takes one's eye off the ball and plays into the hands of your worst enemies. | ||
| Remember, we don't have the margin for error and people out there thinking that we've got some big margin for error and we're just kind of wandering around doing what we want. | ||
| Sadly incorrect. | ||
| We don't have this margin for error. | ||
| And the opposition knows that. | ||
| They know that. | ||
| And we have to know that. | ||
| Because if you know that, it really informs your decisions how we're going to do this. | ||
| What's going to be our critical path? | ||
| What is the signal? | ||
| And what is the noise? | ||
| Mike Lindell, on your show the other day, that comes before our show, and you're nice enough to let us have, to broadcast Battleground over at Lindell TV, and we really thank you and the team in Memphis, who are just terrific for that. | ||
| But you mentioned you were thinking, you were preying on something, something to come to you about actually getting more involved in the nitty-gritty of actually politics, that you were interested in running for RNC chair. | ||
| You felt you had a calling to do that, and you were going to come on the show next week to announce your decision. | ||
| Can you give us an interim update, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, yes, it's true. | ||
| It's all over the news. | ||
| Some of them announced stuff early. | ||
| But yeah, I've been doing my due diligence the last few days. | ||
| You know, Steve, the RNC is such a big institution and it's so important and it's failed us. | ||
| And I've talked to big donors now in the last three days. | ||
| I've talked to many of the state leads and every one of them says we got to have A different leader, a different input to get a different output. | ||
| I'm learning so much about it. | ||
| And, uh, like I do anything, I'm going to do my due diligence. | ||
| And then I'm going to say, Hey, where are the holes here? | ||
| And can I be that right person to, to fill that lead that leadership role? | ||
| Um, I, uh, I think, you know, for me, Steve, the fight of the last couple of years that I've been put into. | ||
| You have the blockers that, you know, like you're Raffenbergers of the world and you're Robin Vosses of the world. | ||
| But then you have the RNC. | ||
| To me, it's just as bad when you sit back and do nothing, when you ignore the biggest problem facing our country, which is these corrupt elections. | ||
| And when you sit back and you raise money for this, like they did in 2020, and then turn a blind eye and go, yep. | ||
| They even raised money using my name back then. | ||
| I'm not going to let that happen. | ||
| It can happen. | ||
| I don't care how people say, Mike, it's such a swamp. | ||
| It's insurmountable. | ||
| It's a mountain that we can't climb. | ||
| As you were doing your opening there, Steve, I'm going, You know what? | ||
| With God, all things are possible, everybody, and we're going to get to a great place. | ||
| Sure, it's maybe one piece at a time, but we're getting there. | ||
| We're in a great place. | ||
| I've had to encourage so many of these state leads. | ||
| And they got off the phone with me, they're going, oh, it's so encouraging to hear this because they're like walking through mud. | ||
| Let me make the counter-argument. | ||
| Let me make the counter-argument. | ||
| Particularly for people, and understand, Rana's not everybody's cup of tea, but she's been at it a long time. | ||
| She understands the operation. | ||
| Let me take the counter-argument. | ||
| Mike Lindell has no earthy idea what he's doing with the RNC. | ||
| As bad as it is, it's an apparatus that's there. | ||
| Mike Lindell's a madman, he's a wild man. | ||
| Why would you put a wild man and a madman in charge of an apparatus that at least you need some sort of structure in these 50 states and at the national level to have any chance of succeeding? | ||
| Mike Lindell. | ||
| Well, that's what the media like to portray me as, this guy who doesn't know what he's doing all over the board. | ||
| That's just because I'm working every day, morning till night, on all different silos of business. | ||
| You know, I have over 2,000 employees, Steve, and when I had, I just had the Business Insider, I've had the New York Times, I've had all these places coming, Washington Post, and do full articles on what we do on a daily basis, or what I do as a business. | ||
| And when you look at the RNC like a business, and they have failed us, and you gotta look, why have they failed? | ||
| You got 2018, 2020, 2022, FFF, the triple F, okay? | ||
| Now, if you're CEO of any other business, you get replaced. | ||
| But let me tell you, the RNC in any business, you need to change what you're doing based on your current footprint. | ||
| They can't do the same old, same old. | ||
| Let's go tell our donors. | ||
| We're going to raise money and we're going to do this and this because your footprint has changed. | ||
| We're in an anomaly in history. | ||
| You have to look at that footprint and you have to make adjustments based on that footprint. | ||
| Kind of like my pillow, Steve, when the China virus came into our country and I had to change our radio advertising because people, the paradigm was going to change. | ||
| They wouldn't be in their cars listening to the radio. | ||
| They would be at home watching TV. | ||
| So you adjust for that. | ||
| Or how about when they took away all my box stores and they attacked us? | ||
| At my pillow, we had to adjust. | ||
| And just this spring when Walmart dropped us, we had to adjust. | ||
| I didn't want to lay off any workers. | ||
| So I made a CEO decision and I said, you know what? | ||
| We're going to open up mystore.com right away. | ||
| And we're going to move these employees over here because they have families they have that they need to support. | ||
| And we didn't have to lay anybody off, Steve. | ||
| So these are decisions that are made based on a current footprint. | ||
| And the RNC has not, they just think it's same old, same old, and they don't get anything done. | ||
| Hang on one second, Mike. | ||
| We're gonna take a short commercial break. | ||
| Mike Lindell, Natalie Winters, Darren Beattie, Dr. Robert Malone, MTG, Matthew Tierman, and maybe a couple or three surprises between now and then. | ||
| Okay, Mike Lindell, next, in the War Room. | ||

We're taking down the CCP Spread the word all through Hong Kong We will fight till they're all gone We rejoice when they're no more Let's take down the CCP Here's your host, Stephen K. Batt. | |
| OK, thank you. | ||
| Thank you for joining us Saturday. | ||
| I really want to thank the Real America Voice team that has gone out of their way and really done great service and work as a partner to make sure that we're up over the holiday weekend. | ||
| We think it's very important to make sure that we get to all these stories, particularly all the stuff that's breaking. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Mike Lindell, you just said RNC failed in 18, they failed in 20, and they failed in 2022. | ||
| Some in the RNC would say, hey, cause we were stuck with Donald J. Trump at the top of the ticket or really the chairman and the, in the, in the head of the party. | ||
| What say you, sir? | ||
| Well, Steve, uh, traditionally, if they'd have looked at it, they would, they, and I believe they did see the real problem. | ||
|
unidentified
|
When you had 18, let's just take 18 and 18. | |
| Donald Trump had done so many great things, kept so many promises, and there should not have been any seats that you should have gained. | ||
| In 2020, it should have been absolutely the biggest red wave ever, and in 2022, on the opposite of that, it should have been even a bigger red wave because of all the bad things being done by this regime. | ||
| If they looked at it, which Steve, I believe they did. | ||
| I'm digging into this. | ||
| I believe they looked at it and said, okay, we have election problem. | ||
| There's no reason these things, these three things happen unless there's some other kind of input, but it'd be, um, election crime or maybe, uh, um, some problems with our election systems. | ||
| And they looked at that and they turned the other way and said, you know what? | ||
| Let's try it one more time. | ||
| Let's try it one more time. | ||
| And let's, uh, um, Let's put the same input in and try and get the same output. | ||
| And they failed again in 2022. | ||
| You need a different input to get a different output. | ||
| And I don't know why Ronna McDaniel got reelected. | ||
| I think she's the only one in history of the RNC where your president lost and then they put you back in. | ||
| It doesn't make sense. | ||
| You have failed. | ||
| Okay, let me give you a newsflash because Trump endorsed her. | ||
| That's the newsflash. | ||
| Trump endorsed her. | ||
| There was probably, now I've heard from sources that there's reason for that too. | ||
| That maybe there were promises made by the RNC that they didn't keep. | ||
| I don't know, Steve. | ||
| I'm finding this out right now. | ||
| But my point is, she was re-elected because Trump endorsed her. | ||
| And people are saying that Trump supports her and endorses her today. | ||
| So, given that, what is your, give us the two minute elevator pitch. | ||
| Why Mike Lindell for the RNC chair and why now? | ||
| Well, I'm in camera trouble here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold on. | |
| There we go. | ||
| The audience would rather look at me with my beautiful hair. | ||
| I believe that I've looked at it and I'm still doing the next two days here. | ||
| But looking at it from a business perspective, I believe I know where the problems are and I'm talking to as many of the state leaders as I can to find out where those problems are and that's what I do with my company. | ||
| I, when I go into something, Steve, I do my due diligence and I go in and I won't fail. | ||
| I will not fail. | ||
| I'm going in there. | ||
| I'm all in. | ||
| And I go into something. | ||
| I think the people know that, uh, you build this with Aaron seeds. | ||
| What I've seen so far is you would build it to, um, um, up from the bottom up the precinct strategy.com, which we've all used that precinct strategy. | ||
| And, uh, you're bringing them up from the bottom and you're surrounding people. | ||
| I surround myself with great people. | ||
| Like I have with all my other companies. | ||
| And then you're leading. | ||
| You're leading. | ||
| You're making decisions based on problem, solution, and what will it manifest to. | ||
| The RSC is a mess. | ||
| You don't have the donors are upset. | ||
| They want results. | ||
| All the people I've talked to within the organization are upset because some of them are quitting. | ||
| Some of them are glad they're termed out. | ||
| It needs to be fixed and I believe that it can be fixed. | ||
| Would we be incorrect here at the War Room if we said that one of the big motivating factors for you is that you're not comfortable with the election integrity focus and clearly the results shown in 2022, whether it's in Pennsylvania, Michigan, or clearly this fiasco in Arizona, which is just humiliating for everybody involved? | ||
| People of Arizona, the GOP, the Democratic Party, Maricopa County. | ||
| Is part of the thing driving you is still the issue of election integrity? | ||
| A hundred percent. | ||
| That's one of the biggest strides. | ||
| It is the biggest stride. | ||
| When I get called by donors saying, I'm tired of putting money in the RNC and putting in for candidates and stuff and running campaigns and this ground game they have, and it all gets flushed down the toilet because our election systems are done. | ||
| I mean, if we don't change them, it's over, Steve. | ||
| And you need these pieces, these, uh, you need the, you need to get the, the politicians have failed us, obviously that the legislature and stuff, they were the biggest blockers. | ||
| And so now we've got to try other inputs to get where we need to go. | ||
| And I believe if, if, if Ronna McDaniel reached out to you today after seeing this and said, Hey, Mike, let's sit down and have a cup of coffee. | ||
| Is there anything she could put forward to you of her candidacy that you would say, Hey, upon further review and really knowing more details. | ||
| I don't think she could dissuade me. | ||
| she should do it and I'll step aside. | ||
| And I know you're praying, you haven't made your final decision, but would that change the direction of where this looks like it may be heading? | ||
| I don't think she could dissuade me. | ||
| She's personally done a few things. | ||
| You know, back a year ago, when I was getting attorney generals on board for their Supreme Court case, she was the RNC actually, she came out earlier that year and said, Biden won, Biden won. | ||
| And you know what, if you don't know that he won, you shouldn't say anything. | ||
| But there's really nothing from what I've heard that she could ever say. | ||
| Good. | ||
| If President Trump, if you announced on Monday and President Trump came out Monday afternoon, and I have no knowledge of this, but I know that she has been telling people, or this hundred names she put out, my understanding from talking to people is some people have said that she's telling people that President Trump supports her for doing this. | ||
| If President Trump was to call you and say, hey, I support her, No, absolutely not. | ||
| Whatever I decide is my decision, not anyone else's. | ||
| I mean, when I go all in, this is my decision, and I'll have prayed about it and done my due diligence, and there's nothing that's going to change me. | ||
| Once I make my mind up, Steve, as I think everybody knows, I'm not going to quit. | ||
| If I'm all in, Steve, I will win. | ||
| I will go to win. | ||
| This isn't going to be an, oh let's just go in and talk about it. | ||
| No. | ||
| It'll be 24-7 getting to the finish line. | ||
| There's no one out there that's closer, I think, to the president or thinks more highly than the president or has done really more in his behalf than Mike Lindell. | ||
| So if the president was to call you and say, hey, Mike, I love you. | ||
| I don't think that's the right thing to do. | ||
| I support Ronald McDaniel. | ||
| What would be your answer? | ||
| Well, you'll have to ask me Monday morning, but right now, like I say, once I make my decision, No one's going to be able to change my mind, and there would be, like I say, when I got the evidence for the machines, nobody could change my mind. | ||
| You can't unsee what I've seen and not know what I know. | ||
| Once I get to that point, and if God, if I pray about this and it's go all in, there's nothing I have to do with what I'm supposed to do for the Lord, not for anyone else here on earth. | ||
| Mike, what's the name? | ||
| People that don't know Mike Lindell ought to read the book. | ||
| What's the name of your autobiography? | ||
| At least the first one. | ||
| It's One of the Odds, Backpedic to CEO. | ||
| When I go around the country, that's one thing that means a lot to me. | ||
| People come up and say, I gave it to my friend. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I gave it to a loved one who's an addict and it helped them and set them free. | |
| And they can also go to the LindellRecoveryNetwork.org and that's free. | ||
| We're in a time right now, Steve, where You combine it with the fentanyl coming in and people losing hope and they're turning to addiction rather than the Lord. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's why we've got very toxic out there right now, those two things together. | |
| Using my story from the past to help people means a lot to me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it when I hear success stories out there, people that have been set free from terrible addiction. | |
| As you pray over the weekend, how do people reach out to you? | ||
| We put up a poll on War Room. | ||
| I think it was 5346, you versus... Well, they can reach out, MikeRNC at FrankSpeech.com. | ||
| MikeRNC at FrankSpeech.com. | ||
| I'd love to hear from everybody. | ||
| So far, I haven't seen any negative yet, Steve. | ||
| It's just poured in. | ||
| We've had tens of thousands of emails and people reaching out and going, And these are from everywhere from big donors to micro donors. | ||
| Like I said, I haven't heard any negative. | ||
| I've seen polls out there and people want change. | ||
| I can't wait for Monday morning either way to announce on there. | ||
| On your show, um, uh, the media has been just bombarding me with, uh, um, now what, now when, when are you saying you're running? | ||
| I said, I didn't say that yet. | ||
| You know, they try and trick you, you know, Mike, we'll see you on, uh, we'll see you on Monday morning and have a, uh, everybody for all your support at war room. | ||
| Thank you everybody for my, my pillow. | ||

Thank you. | |
| Thanks. | ||
| A true warrior, Mike Lindell. | ||
| Some gave all, and Mike Lindell's given all, I'll tell you. | ||
| I want to go to Darren Beatty. | ||
| You talk about tough and toxic times, Darren, and I realize I tease you a lot about the pom-poms on of Elon Musk. | ||
| The last 24, 48 hours have been probably some of the most intense about this platform, which you call the Global Town Square. | ||
| Give me your assessment right now, up to date, on everything that's happening with Elon Musk and really the unrelenting assaults on him, sir. | ||
| Well, it should probably go without saying, but the pom-poms are very much back up. | ||
| I would say that he's exceeded even my expectations in terms of what he's been able to deliver on the platform so far. | ||
| Of course, you know, the biggest profile reinstatement was Donald Trump's count. | ||
| He's yet to tweet, but the symbolic significance remains nonetheless, that there's a restoration. | ||
| Musk has said that he will release internal communications and Twitter that concerned the decision to censor the Hunter laptop story. | ||
| So we could have an unprecedented visibility into the actual internal communications and the mechanisms whereby Twitter, probably at the urging of various government institutions and NGOs, made really critical decisions to censor issues that really need to have an open airing in order for us to call ourselves A democracy in any meaningful sense. | ||
| And so I think on a number of things, Elon has just done an amazing job. | ||
| And apparently it's because, um, the, the ad rackets, or there's this sort of scam called brand safety, whereby these sort of mafia shakedown organizations say, look, if, if you continue to have free speech on your platform, that's a threat to brand safety. | ||
| Nobody's going to want to advertise you if you have people saying things that the regime doesn't agree with. | ||
| But the thing is, the whole safety issue comes into being because these organizations are set up to intimidate and harass companies that don't pull out of free speech organizations. | ||
| And so it looked like Elon was willing to play ball with this brand safety scam and willing to Have some kind of content moderation process overseen by the ADL and various other sort of disgraced, censorious institutions, but then they didn't hold up their end of the bargain. | ||
| And so he said, screw it. | ||
| If I'm going to, if you're going to screw with my advertisers, even when I do say that I'm willing to have a content moderation policy and regime. | ||
| Then forget it. | ||
| We're going to have free speech. | ||
| And it looks like that's the direction that he's decided to go. | ||
| Hang over a second. | ||
| We're going to come back. | ||
| You've got the Tether story. | ||
| Twitter, which is a national security apparatus, intelligence operation. | ||
| You've got NATO saying that we're war profiteering off Ukraine. | ||
| Darren Beatty is going to make sense of it all next. | ||

| We're going to be up all weekend on Getter. | ||
| Make sure you go there. | ||
| It's the way you keep constantly up-to-date. | ||
| We're doing live chats, live streams, of course, my Getter feed, and the Wordroom's Getter feed, and everybody's got constantly breaking news, analysis, and information. | ||
| Breaking news. | ||
| Darren Beattie, take a minute and explain this SBF FTX, before I get into it, because there's now news breaking that it's even involved that SBF through one of his PACs was funneling money into Maricopa County and to Katie Hobbs. Who is this guy? And by the way, all that money should be given back. | ||
| Who is this guy? How did he become a bigger donor, as big a donor and influential as Soros? Well, this is a really huge story and if you want to see probably the most jaw-dropping investigative report you've ever seen in your life, go to revolver.news and read the piece that we have right on top | ||
| about Tether asking, is Tether the Biden world's BCCI? | ||
| Now the title itself might seem cryptic, arcane, all of these references nobody knows, but the story is simple and it's explosive. | ||
| So we've all heard of FTX, which is this crypto exchange run by this weird scammer guy, Sam Bankman Freed, who also happened to have a hedge fund that he was using to kind of support the scam of the crypto exchange and taking money from the exchange and putting it into the fund. | ||
| And he also, by the way, happened to be one of the top political donors in the United States, one of the top donors to the Democrat machine. | ||
| And so long story short, it didn't take too long for people with any sense to put together that FTX, given how politically protected Sam Bangman Freed is, is basically a money laundering operation through the kind of Clinton overworld element of the Democrat machine, of the Democrat apparatus. | ||
| And you've seen it's given. | ||
| Tons of money to all kinds of Democrats, also to some Republicans. | ||
| And that's an interesting story in and of itself, but you'll have to stay tuned because Revolver has a big piece on that. | ||
| But that's been in the news and it's been saturated all over the place. | ||
| But what we found in the subject of the Revolver report, really the most jaw-dropping investigative piece that you'll ever see. | ||
| So just go and look at it. | ||
| If I'm wrong, don't listen to me again. | ||
| This makes FTX potentially look like child's play. | ||
| And so what is Tether? | ||
| Tether is the third largest cryptocurrency in existence. | ||
| But unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, which are mined and produced according to a publicly known and verifiable procedure, Tether is what's known as a stablecoin. | ||
| Meaning that the value of Tether is allegedly backed by US dollar reserves that the Tether organization carries. | ||
| But here's the kicker. | ||
| There's never been verification that they actually hold those reserves. | ||
| Since the inception of this cryptocurrency, the third largest cryptocurrency in the world, and really the engine that drives the liquidity of the whole cryptocurrency ecosystem and exchanges. | ||
| It's predicated on the notion that there are US dollar reserves and it's never, ever been properly audited. | ||
| Now, if that seems strange, it gets even stranger. | ||
| Because you say, hmm, maybe it's never been audited because the people involved in it are just so upstanding and trustworthy and technologically sophisticated. | ||
| Well, If you want the full rogues gallery of the people involved in the founding of Tether, read the whole piece, but I'll just give a little sample, a little teaser. | ||
| One of the founders of Tether is a washed up kind of child, former child actor, Disney actor, Mighty Ducks star, incidentally, for if anyone wants some 90s nostalgia, Mighty Ducks star, and he starred with Sinbad in a movie called First Kid. | ||
| He went on to have a weird history. | ||
| He was involved in some kind of sex scandal where he was arrested in Spain by Interpol, and allegedly there are all kinds of weird and creepy things found when he was arrested. | ||
| And if you want the sordid details of that, again, go to the piece. | ||
| But he was never put in jail, never charged. | ||
| Nothing ever came of it. | ||
| And then all of a sudden, This child actor, embroiled in some kind of underage sex scandal, who was arrested but never charged with anything, and has no technical background to speak of whatsoever, emerges as this cryptocurrency mogul behind the third largest cryptocurrency in the world, which is entirely predicated on the possession of U.S. | ||
| dollar reserves, which has never, ever, ever been audited. | ||
| And if you think that's weird, it gets even weirder. | ||
| Because not only is this a bizarre story that it's never been audited, the Tether organization defies the U.S. | ||
| Treasury in all sorts of ways that are really bizarre and inexplicable. | ||
| But here's the third dimension that really connects all the dots, in my opinion, and is the thesis of the piece. | ||
| Tether happens to be, I'm not making this up, Tether happens to be the official cryptocurrency of the Rohingya rebel movement in Myanmar. | ||
| Gee, isn't that interesting? | ||
| This cryptocurrency with this weird history that's never been audited, that has no transparency, that's run by all these people who seem to be compromised in some kind of fashion, just happens to be the cryptocurrency of one of the major US-backed rebel groups geopolitically. | ||
| And we learn further that Tether cryptocurrency is beloved by Sunni rebels in Syria. | ||
| Exactly those kinds of Sunni rebels that may have been referenced in that now infamous Wikipedia leaked email with Hillary Clinton where she admits Al-Qaeda is actually on our side in Syria, and that's not even to speak of all the weird stuff going on with drug cartels. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| Can you hang over through the next break? | ||
| We got MTG coming up. | ||
| Real quickly, your thesis is that when you say BCCI, the reason it was never audited, it was never shut down and allowed to fester, is because the intelligence apparatus used it relentlessly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| You're fine. | ||
| Hang on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| That's why I'm going to hold you over. | ||
| Darren Beattie is going to give us the kill shot when he returns. | ||
| MTG, Matthew Tierman, Natalie Winters, all of it. | ||
| 90 second break. |
