Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
unidentified
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
President Trump got a free shot at 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.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish, in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.
Send it.
steve bannon
That's why we're on the move, and yes, no matter how they de-platformed it, people got to that information, right?
The anarchists, the revolutionaries, everybody got the information, and we came together and said, f*** you, right?
unidentified
That's exactly right.
Is that the essence of liberty?
Yes, that's the essence of it.
Hell yeah!
steve bannon
What do you think?
unidentified
What did Sam Adams tell the British Empire?
F*** you!
Right?
steve bannon
What did John Hancock say?
unidentified
F*** you!
USA!
steve bannon
What did John Hancock tell the British Empire?
No, I'm just kidding.
We're live.
We're live.
Ben Burquham, you got a special guest over there.
Let's hit it!
ben bergquam
We got Lola here.
Tell me about Lola.
unidentified
This is Lola in Las Vegas on Instagram.
We came from the entertainment capital of the world.
She hates her leash.
She loves freedom.
And she wrote this book called Freedom, D-U-M-B, The Patriots Playbook to Restoring Your Rights and Freedom, which you can get on my website.
ben bergquam
Even Joe Biden could understand it.
But now we got beauty.
Now let's get the beast over here.
unidentified
Look at this guy.
MAGA HULK IS IN THE HOUSE!
Let's go!
ben bergquam
Hey, so Joe Biden says you ain't black, brother.
What do you say?
unidentified
Uh, I think I'm doing pretty good in this.
I think I'm doing pretty good indeed.
ben bergquam
So talk to me, Steven.
This is like an amazing event.
You're out here, TPUSA, young people, old people, I mean young at heart people, excuse me, from all over the country.
Talk to us about it, brother.
unidentified
This is absolutely fantastic.
This is what America is all about.
And that's what we're here to do, to celebrate America.
That's what we're all here to do.
Are we not?
Are we having a good time?
Are we doing what was necessary to bolster our country?
Let's go!
This is what it's all about.
We uplift America while everyone else on the left is trying to tear it down.
But we're going to continue to celebrate America.
Let's go!
Can you please tell me your name and what brings you here today?
My name is Kelly Wilde and my boyfriend has been in the D.C.
Gulag jail for almost two years, more than 670 days, without an initial bond hearing, for being at the Capitol, standing up for election integrity on January 6th, Just to put it into perspective, the Waukesha parade killer killed six people and injured 60 people, and he got a bond hearing in 48 hours.
And my boyfriend was trying to save Roseanne Boyland.
He was among about two dozen men who are being held right now trying to help Roseanne Boyland, who was murdered by Capitol Police on the steps of the United States Capitol, and barely anybody knows about it.
So I'm here trying to spread awareness.
I also want to let you guys know that of all of the jury trials, with the exception of one, the results have been a guilty conviction on every single count.
This is not a jury of our peers.
The prosecutors are lying on court motions.
The media is helping them.
And it's a really dire situation.
So you said in the jail they gave the prisoners tablets.
Can you please tell me what show they are watching on those tablets?
I want to say hi to the guys in the D.C.
Gulag who are watching Steve Bannon's War Room live on Pluto TV.
Thank God for the tablets, at least they have that.
I don't know how Steve Bannon's show makes it into the D.C.
jail.
Because they have another program called, they call them the re-education tablets, in which they have Trevor Noah telling you why Donald Trump is an evil man, how men are really women but women aren't really men, and it gets really complicated, it's sword salad.
But Steve Bannon's War Room snuck on somehow.
So hi guys, stay strong, America's with you.
I also say, to get to know the men better in their own words, go to wearegoodmen.com.
All their interviews are there, so check it out.
steve bannon
Hold on, hang on, hang on.
I want to give that website one more time, but I have a question.
In any of the trials, have they been able, have any of the defense attorneys been able to bring up any of the feds' direction?
Any of the FBI assets or FBI informants or FBI and DHS officers that were part of this.
Has any trial been able, has any lawyer been able to put that in to the trial and call them as witnesses?
unidentified
Um, to my knowledge, absolutely not.
steve bannon
Absolutely no.
unidentified
The Jan 6th committee actually had a ton of information about the Oath Keepers that they refused to release before the Oath Keepers trial, so I guarantee you there's some major Brady violations there with all of the information that they had that was likely exculpatory that wasn't presented.
The other problem is that The people were peaceful that day.
The Capitol Police instigated violence against them.
The Capitol Police do not have body cam footage and only later did the Metro Police show up and exacerbate everything.
Only the Metro Police have been called to the stand.
I have never seen one single defense attorney call a Capitol Police officer to the stand to set up the greater picture that day.
In our justice system, you're supposed to prosecute the individual for their crimes, but they're prosecuting the people as a whole, and the defense attorneys are ill-prepared to prosecute a million-person event that was highly complicated.
So thanks for bringing that up, because where have the Capitol Police been in testifying under oath?
steve bannon
Hold it.
Does the House—do we need to see and must see all 14,000 hours of footage?
unidentified
Yes, we need to see that.
steve bannon
One more time, what's your social media and what is your website?
unidentified
You can follow us at wearegoodmen.com.
Oh, and I mean, We Are Good Men on Getter, and We Are Good Men J6 on Twitter, but all this is kind of new.
So, follow us please and support us if you can.
Thank you so much.
steve bannon
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Okay, we have two true warriors here, Bianca Gracia and of course the great Steve Stern.
Bianca, you want to tell people about the RNC.
What's the reality in back of this RNC election?
unidentified
So, Steve, it's very important.
Latinos for Trump, Latinos for America.
We want to make sure that we unseat Ronna McDaniel.
And so I want the war room posse to know that you need to find out who your committee man and committee woman are in your state.
Then you need to find out who your precinct chairs are because they most likely become delegates.
Look for the delegates in the 2020 that got canceled, our convention got canceled.
Look for those delegates.
The RNC committee man and committee woman of every state is going to be more afraid of a delegate calling them insane.
We need you to vote for someone.
This is who we want you to support.
Find yourself challenged in 2024 if you do not unseat Ronna McDaniel because she's failed us.
steve bannon
Okay, real quickly, give us that again.
You've got to get contact with the precinct committeeman, your precinct chair, and make sure eventually you get up to the two committees.
There's one committeeman and committeewoman for each state, correct?
unidentified
Yes, there's a committee woman and committee state.
But the thing is to find the delegates of that state that were supposed to go to 2020 convention, because those are the ones that vote.
In 2024, the delegates will be voting for those committee men and committee women again in 2024.
So what you need to do is, it's no good if every, you know, just citizens, Let's take a poll right now.
I want an honest poll.
Okay, who would vote to re-elect Ronna McDaniel to head of RNC?
Let's hear it.
delegates because that's who they're held accountable for in 2024.
So you have to let them know they will find themselves challenged if they do not vote to unseat Ronna McDaniel.
steve bannon
Let's take a poll right now.
I want an honest poll.
OK, who would vote to reelect Ronna McDaniel to head of RNC?
Let's hear it.
unidentified
Anyone?
Boo!
Hold it.
steve bannon
Is this is this WWE?
Is this real?
Are there any votes?
ben bergquam
Any votes!
steve bannon
Anybody?
ben bergquam
A single vote.
Ronan McDaniel, anyone?
No, Steve, zero.
steve bannon
Okay, can I hear it for Harmeet Dhillon?
Okay, can I hear it for Mike Lindell?
unidentified
Yeah!
steve bannon
Can I hear it for a combination ticket of Mike Lindell and Harmeet?
So you guys basically want a tough litigator and a turnaround business guy to basically do a joint?
Fantastic.
Okay.
Change the coach.
So good.
It sounds like you're a Nebraska Cornhusker fan.
Steve Stern, tell us about the precinct strategy, what you're working on right now, everything you're involved with.
And of course, Steve Stern, have you ever heard of this?
The Flag Shirt Company.
steve stern
FlagShirt.com.
Give it a little cheer for the FlagShirt.com guys!
Alright, so I am supporting Mike Lindell.
For the new head of the Republican Party.
I had a hour-long strategy session with him, where he gave me the list of all the people to call.
We've been calling around the clock.
We even got to the Virgin Islands, which is all part of this election.
So precinctstrategy.com, we want people to get involved.
I hold up a little sign here with my name, how to get a hold of me.
What is happening in that?
I want everybody to know that I met with President Trump.
He finally, right before the election, two days before the election, he will talk at his rallies.
I have Liz Harrington, who is right behind me, along with other people who witnessed that he said he would talk about precinct strategy at his rallies.
It took me six months to do it, but I'm the hammer.
Action, action, action.
So right now, there's a lot of elections going on all around the country for a new chairman.
In Florida, we defeated a lot of the RINOs, a lot of the establishing people, both in Naples, Fort Myers, Port Charlotte.
We also got Sabatini elected in Lake County.
So a lot's happening in precinct strategy.
But the one thing I want to tell you all about, when I was meeting with President Trump, he asked me to get involved in election integrity.
So at 81 years old, you know, I need some of you young people.
I'm here to Turning Point to visit with Tyler Boyd, which we had a big meeting, and we're going to get all the young people involved because, you know, the older people don't want to let the younger people get involved.
So it's my job to connect the younger, the older, and get them all doing.
So we're going to have, anybody would like to come on, an election integrity Zoom meeting on January 10th at 3.30 with 60 of you.
Of the top election people.
steve bannon
And we'll have you on that morning.
What time of day is it going to be?
steve stern
3.30 for the election integrity.
8 o'clock for the precinct strategy.
steve bannon
And President Trump has asked you to do this?
steve stern
We talked about it.
And what he said was, how do you think we can win the election?
I said, the way the election is now, nobody can win the election.
We all know that.
So we're going to come up with a solution.
It's my job to bring people together.
We have the top people, Cleta Mitchell.
We got, you know, many, many young people.
steve bannon
Okay, one more time.
How did they get to the flagship company?
Not that Steve would ever want to put that out there.
steve stern
I don't ever do anything like that.
I'm a marketing machine.
steve bannon
Okay, so right there.
steve stern
Steve Stern, 954-318-6902.
Don't call me the next couple days.
I'm taking two days off.
And S. Stern, 1054-AOL, if you want to get involved.
We need 240,000 people.
I want to wish everybody a happy holiday.
Steve is the king of this.
If it wasn't for him, Precinct Strategy wouldn't have 40,000 people.
steve bannon
We want you all involved.
Okay, here's the number.
We're going to do an exercise right now.
Get your phone out.
And we're going to do this.
We're going to call now, but you do it through the break.
202-224-3121.
That's the switchboard for the United States Senate.
I want the warupasi live on television to call it right now.
It's up on screen for everybody at home.
Let's bombard the Senate and tell them what you think of this omnibus bill and what you demand they do.
Let's go ahead and rip it.

By the way, a national call.
I'm having a telethon here to save you from $1.7 trillion.
Here's the thing.
They're taking the leverage away from your hands.
They do not want you to shut down the government.
We've got to force Biden.
We've got to force him to the table.
There we go right there.

Unbelievable.

There's too many people found in the joints, we're gonna go more. Let's take down the CCP!
Your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Okay, welcome back.
steve bannon
We have Wendy Rogers.
We've already put...
We've already put her to work.
unidentified
Go back to work.
ben bergquam
We've already put her to work.
steve bannon
She's a workhorse.
Ben, hold it.
First off, they're hiding from us, right?
If you can't get through the switchboard, you go right to voicemail.
ben bergquam
Yeah, we already shut down the switchboard, Steve.
I got through to Tom Cotton.
He's already on our side, but we did get through to Kristen Sinema back here and Alex Padilla over here.
Now, we know Alex Padilla and Tim Scott over here as well, so we're getting through, but now we're shutting the switchboard down, Steve.
steve bannon
When they got through to him, they actually got a person on the staff or just voicemail?
ben bergquam
Just voicemail.
unidentified
Tim Scott, yes.
ben bergquam
You got to Tim Scott a person?
unidentified
Yes, she did.
Right over there.
steve bannon
Oh, wow.
ben bergquam
Awesome, awesome.
You got Roy Blunt.
We got Roy Blunt over here.
steve bannon
Roy Blunt.
One of the worst swamp creatures in history.
ben bergquam
Terrible.
Terrible.
Keep calling, everybody.
Keep calling.
steve bannon
Hold it, hold it, hold it.
What did the staffers say?
Did they say, thank you very much?
unidentified
Hang on, hang on.
ben bergquam
What'd they say?
unidentified
They just said, we'll put you through to Senator Dick Durbin, but then it was a voicemail.
ben bergquam
Okay, okay.
Who got Roy Blunt?
unidentified
I got his voicemail.
ben bergquam
Okay, one voicemail.
unidentified
Hang on.
steve bannon
You got Sinema?
unidentified
Yeah.
Well, I didn't get through to her, but I got to leave a message and give him my phone number and email.
ben bergquam
Do none of these people work?
unidentified
I asked him, is the United States a corporation or owned by foreign interests?
She served we the people or the corporation.
steve bannon
Right.
I love it.
That's not one of those reincorporated in 1877, is it?
unidentified
No, no, no, no, no, no.
ben bergquam
Mitch McConnell.
Mitch McConnell.
unidentified
It is the war room, baby.
steve bannon
I knew as soon as he said that, I knew the reference.
We'll spend some time on that.
How's that?
steve stern
That's good.
steve bannon
You think Sinema listened to you?
Okay, good.
ben bergquam
Mitch McConnell, let's see if we get a person.
I'll put him on speaker.
steve bannon
Yeah, let's do that.
Mitch McConnell staffer?
unidentified
That's gonna be a lovely job.
steve bannon
That's working for the Republic.
You know they're gonna jam this down your throat.
You know the fix is in on this, right?
Every person, every rhino that votes for this is making Nancy Pelosi speaker for another year.
You've got to tell them, if you vote for this, there's no coming back.
Voicemail!
Voicemail!
You know, all these guys are going to vote for it.
Some of them are going to be back up for re-election.
You've got to understand, if you vote for this, you're done.
Because you've taken away all the leverage.
unidentified
What's your message to Mr. Trump?
ben bergquam
We need a better... Hang on, hang on, we've got to wait for...
Now the voicemail's too long.
This is like the lines in Maricopa County.
You're going to give up before you get to it.
steve bannon
There's a method to their madness.
They're trying to rope-a-dope you.
Okay, Ben, I'm going to go to Wendy.
Let me know if you get anything.
Okay, Wendy Rogers.
Yeah, that's right there.
Wendy Rogers, Colonel Wendy Rogers with us.
Talk to me about Carrie Lake, this lawsuit.
We've got two, I think a couple got thrown out, but some important ones got left in.
Of course, the mainstream media is saying, oh, the thing's over.
Carrie Lake's saying the opposite.
We believe strongly she's going to win.
Yes.
Right?
And she's going to be governor of Arizona.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
And most importantly, most importantly, Silent Katie Hobbs is going to be put in the witness stand, right?
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
She's going to have to... She wets herself every time she has to speak publicly, right?
I hate to be so blunt.
unidentified
And Richard, too.
He'll be on the stand.
steve bannon
Why don't we have Bill Gates on the stand?
unidentified
I don't know, but there were 10 counts, and great to be with all of you and sunny Phoenix here.
There were 10 counts.
Eight were not advanced, but the two big ones are.
steve bannon
Tell me, why are those the two big ones?
unidentified
Well, the two big ones are the machines, basically, and the chain of custody.
So, I checked in with the team right before I got here so that I could have accurate information.
Number one, the team tells me that this is how we will disclose and lay bare the intentionality of what has happened.
This is going to show us that there was intentionality before and during this whole debacle.
steve bannon
So, hold on, hold on, hold on.
What you're saying is that this was not just an act of omission.
It just didn't happen.
This was actually intended.
And this is what she put in her suit, and this is what the judge did not throw out, right?
This was intentionally done to suppress the vote of Carrie Lake supporters and MAGA voters in Maricopa County on game day, correct?
unidentified
Yes, and so we're talking, what I want to see is people arrested.
steve bannon
Hold on, hold on.
Do you think Colonel Rogers would be like Judge Roy Beam, right?
She's a hanging judge, right?
Get some Arizona territory justice.
We'll move it up to Prescott, right?
And just have a tribunal.
unidentified
Well, that's a good point.
Actually, I don't represent Prescott, but I represent four counties that are rural counties.
I don't represent Maricopa County.
And so my constituents tell me that they're disenfranchised.
steve bannon
Amen.
unidentified
By what Maricopa County has done.
And so I come down here to represent them.
This is for all of Arizona, arguably the entire nation.
This is the first time...
This is the first time that we have had a venue, a place to lay out all of this.
steve bannon
The first time in all these lawsuits, all of Mike Lindell's money, all the effort, all of President Trump, even the RNC, everything, this is the first time we're going to adjudicate it in an evidentiary actual trial where you're putting forth the evidence.
unidentified
And now the second point.
I always ask for three main points.
And the second point is chain of custody.
That is what has been so flawed.
The chain of custody.
And you talk about Rundbeck, this third-party provider.
And now there's a possible problem with the individual who was selected at the Arizona House to be the House Speaker.
And his family's relationship with this third-party provider.
All of this is now coming out.
All of this is important also with the confluence of timing of the Twitter files.
I am a woman of faith and I think all of this has come together at an auspicious point in time where all of this is being laid bare.
steve bannon
During Advent also.
unidentified
Advent, yes.
steve bannon
Why, let me ask you, why was the, which I thought was one of the most outrageous with chain of custody, the intentionality in the ballots, but I thought the other one that I was disappointed in is the signature verification and particularly the use of artificial intelligence where they didn't even use humans.
I mean, they just completely lied, gun decked.
It's all been false.
Why do you think the judge didn't put that forward too?
unidentified
Well, that's the Mojave case.
steve bannon
Also the Mojave case.
unidentified
So there's a different case that my colleague, Sonny Borelli, who's also the other retired military member of our Arizona Senate, like I am, and they launched a separate case.
I checked in with him.
We don't have an update on that yet, but that case essentially said, it's not in statute.
It's not in the handbook.
To have artificial intelligence adjudicating these signatures.
And you know, as well as I do, that with artificial intelligence, you can tweak it.
You can tweak it to be very sensitive, or you can tweak it to be very wide open.
And so this is flawed.
This is a problem.
And we need to get to the bottom of all of this.
And I'm just telling you, we're not having it anymore.
We're done.
As Kerry said, As Kerry said, you're messing with the wrong people.
steve bannon
Is Kerry Lake the governor-elect of Arizona?
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
Is there any doubt in your mind?
unidentified
And she will have an even stronger mandate.
And she told me about a week ago, she said, you know, Wendy, When I might have assumed office had I been elected properly without all this aftermath, maybe we would have had a honeymoon period with everybody.
Maybe we would have had a transition time of, you know, let's all get along.
No.
No, that ship sailed, okay?
So what we're doing now is we're going to, in the Senate and in the House, we're going to legislate.
And then we will work with her to get it all done.
And people ask me, oh, Senator, will you take a meeting for this or that?
I go, no, not until I know who the governor is.
steve bannon
Amen.
By the way, for Carrie Lake, it's the nullification project, just like with Trump, right?
Just like they stole the 16th election by not letting him have a real term that they weren't all over him from day one, right?
That was Carrie Lake.
Carrie Lake, they understood right away what Carrie Lake meant.
And here's the reason.
If you were out here and following it, election integrity was huge, don't get me wrong, and she said, I'm going to put forward an eight-part bill, very sophisticated, but her number one program for people in Arizona and for the nation and she said as soon as my hand comes off the Bible and she says I'll probably be inaugurated at the border I'm going to declare an invasion of Arizona and she's gonna take it to That's when they made the decision, we've got to get rid of her.
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon
This is nothing but bad news right here.
Right?
She may be even worse than Trump.
Right?
unidentified
Better.
steve bannon
Yeah.
And for them, it's like, we've got to take it out.
I want you to stick for the next, I want the colonel to stick because we've got some special stuff to do here.
Okay.
What do you guys think when you called and you couldn't get the switchboard?
Is that how a represented democracy is supposed to work?
Aren't you supposed to have access to these people, Ben?
ben bergquam
Mitch McConnell didn't even let you leave a message.
He's so backed up already.
People have left so many messages.
But the problem is, where are the employees?
Where are the staffers?
Where are they?
unidentified
On vacation.
ben bergquam
Yeah, I guess so.
They're on vacation.
Always on vacation.
steve bannon
Okay, I tell you what, let's do two introductions before we go to break.
Jane Zirkle.
unidentified
What brings you here today?
My name is Maybelline Melendez and I'm here because I'm a woman of faith.
I believe in the Republic and I'm also a supporter of all the conservatives and everything that you guys are doing here has been incredible.
And amazing.
And I'm very excited that everyone is coming together as one.
steve bannon
Amen.
unidentified
Who are you most excited to see at AmericaFest?
Steve Bannon.
My husband and I have been watching him every day for three hours since your first month.
Wow.
steve bannon

steve bannon
We're here live at AmericaFest, Turning Point USA.
I want to thank everybody.

We're on?

They're still getting busy or long messages.
By the way, so it's Diana?
unidentified
Diane.
steve bannon
Diane from Vegas?
unidentified
Yeah.
steve bannon
So how did the show help you stay off the VAX?
unidentified
We, because we started watching you almost from the very beginning, like the first month or two that you were on the air.
And that was about the time COVID hit.
Yes.
And the more we watched you and the more we listened to you and the evidence that you presented and listened to Berks, or not Berks, Naomi Wolf and also Dr. Malone and all the people that you brought in with scientific facts.
We just said no.
steve bannon
How did you ascertain that they were facts and what you're hearing for the government were not facts?
unidentified
Because your people were experts in their field, and they gave statistics and history, and your people were so reputable and honest and experienced.
And it was so far- Tony Fauci, wasn't that?
Oh!
I never trusted him from the very beginning.
Maybe that's another reason.
I just didn't get a good feeling about him.
steve bannon
Can we hear it?
Can we have a shout-out for her?
How many people here, by the way, let's have a shout-out.
How many people here are un-vaxxed?
All right.
unidentified
All right.
steve bannon
Thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Let's go to Ben Berquam.
Ben, what do you got?
ben bergquam
We have a couple people over here I want to introduce you to.
First off, we were just talking about the precinct strategies.
Talk to me about South Carolina.
unidentified
Well, I first want to say that when President Trump was saying, get involved at a local level, I'm like, no, no, the swamp is in DC.
It's not down below.
Guess what?
I got news people.
It's at the bottom.
You have to start at the bottom.
So let me tell you, I started at the bottom going to the meetings and I was able to become a precinct president.
I've now grown my precinct to 10 others.
We have group meetings.
We invite candidates like you, Wendy, if you were running, I would invite you to come and speak.
It's been awesome.
But I'm telling you, our local GOP is filled with rhinos.
steve bannon
In South Carolina?
unidentified
They are now calling us the worst.
It's supposed to be a red state, but let me tell you.
steve bannon
That's a Bush apparatus down there.
That's a Karl Rove deal.
unidentified
But I want to encourage you because just like you're trying to call and you couldn't get through to your senators, they're supposed to be our servants working for us.
We are the constituents telling them what we want them to do.
steve bannon
Good luck with that.
unidentified
Get involved.
Well, I have hope.
I have hope.
steve bannon
I'm going to keep being out there.
unidentified
I'm going to encourage people.
steve bannon
Persevere.
unidentified
And like Candace Owens said yesterday, share the joy.
Have lots of kids.
Tell your kids the conservative message.
steve bannon
Amen.
unidentified
They're hearing it on the opposite side from TikTok and all these places.
And we have to stand up for the truth.
We have to stand up for our country.
So get involved.
steve bannon
Ben, hang on for one second.
Okay, I got Caroline Wren here.
I got Matthew Tiermann.
I tell you what, Caroline, give us the update on everything on the RNC.
caroline wren
Oh, the RNC race is really, really heating up.
We have people just fleeing from Ronna McDaniel for obvious reasons.
For those who don't know, there's 168 members of the RNC that vote.
Three from each state, and then the territories in Washington, D.C.
And what is happening with the 168 right now is a lot of them have been in for forever, and they are saying, oh, we're with Ronna.
107 of them have signed on to a letter saying we're going to re-elect her.
And then the base is saying, no you're not.
This is not an Illuminati.
You don't just get to select these people.
We elected you to vote on this with our voice as the people.
And our voice is telling us, overwhelmingly, not to re-elect Ronna McDaniel.
In fact, the Turning Point poll just came out.
Let's discuss the voice.
steve bannon
Hold on, hold on.
They just did a poll.
You know, they did a poll.
You guys voted in Turning Point.
What are the results of the Turning Point poll?
Drumroll.
Caroline Wren.
caroline wren
Ronna McDaniel has 1.6 approval rating among all of the attendees of Turning Point USA.
Approval.
65% strongly disapprove of the job that she's done as chair.
And then 57.6% of attendees said that Harmeet Dhillon should be the next RNC chair.
Wow.
31% said Mike Lindell should be the next RNC chair.
Mike Lindell!
1.7% said Ronna McDaniel should be the next RNC chair.
So I don't know about y'all, but I would take the 57%, 31%, and let's combine a Harmey, Dillon, Mike Lindell ticket.
That's what the people want.
steve bannon
You guys like that?
But hang on one second.
We just had Gracia here, and for the precinct committee woman, all of us are great.
But what you have to do is get to the precinct folks who then tell, because it kind of goes up the chain of command, right?
You need to talk to your precinct person and they call the committee man or committee woman in the state and say, hey, here's the change I want, right?
Is that the process?
caroline wren
Yes.
And one of the feedback we're getting from the 168, they are getting overwhelmed with calls and emails.
Some of them are very upset about it.
They've never heard from anyone.
Others like the feedback, but we encourage everyone to be positive when you talk to them because they've never had this experience before.
But you need to tell them why you want them to vote for change.
Also, what ideas do you have?
Why are we relying on a bunch of overpaid consultants who have lost over and over again to give us the ideas of the Republican Party?
Because it's not working.
I mean, if you were a football coach owner, And you had three consecutive losses for your football team.
You would either fire the coach or, at minimum, trade the players.
They haven't even traded the players.
Go through their FEC reports.
The staff is the same.
The consultants are the same.
The head of the party is the same.
I mean, my goodness, we have to change this.
So Scott Pressler, God bless him, created a website called HireHeartMeat.com.
On that website, it's got contact information of your 168 members.
It's the state party chair in every state and then the national committee man and national committee woman.
Send them a nice constructive note and say, hey, I live in Greenville, South Carolina.
I'm a member of this party.
I'm so passionate.
I want to see change.
And I think the only way to have that change is to have Harmeet or Mike Lindell or whomever that be.
That constructive criticism is very helpful to them, and they need to hear from the grassroots.
unidentified
This is the war room, so we're going to go back over that again.
steve bannon
So you can't say I want to see heads on pikes, okay?
We've got to be constructive.
I know we can all be constructive, right?
What we want is a positive change at the Republican National Committee, the Republican Party, correct?
caroline wren
Yes, and your ideas.
Like, what ideas do you have for them to change?
The smartest people in this country, the people who are out watching War Room, who are activated in their communities, you have kids, parents, friends, the RNC is a Concrete building across the street from the Capitol filled with people who have been living in D.C.
for 20 years.
They don't have these ideas.
That's why, please, give us your ideas.
Also, if you go to DillonforRNC.com, that's Harmeet Dillon's website, we have a place there.
Put in your endorsement.
Put in your ideas.
We want to hear and embrace and work with you, the people, on how we fix this party.
steve bannon
This is why, by the way, the structure of the Republican Party is very different than the structure of the Democratic Party.
The structure of the Democratic Party was all by interest groups and unions, the way the Irish came over here for decades and decades and decades.
The Republican Party was a reform party.
It's built on the grassroots.
That's why it's so important to become a precinct committee man, to become part of actually the Republican Party, because it's supposed to be the grassroots.
Up now, as everybody can tell you, Right?
When you sign up for the precinct strategy and show me your first precinct meeting, don't think they welcome you with open arms.
The swamp goes all the way down to the precinct level, right?
Because it's human nature.
It's about power.
And all of a sudden you're showing up and saying, hey, we would like to diffuse the power to the people.
But that's why you've got to be, you've got to stick with it.
And that's why the Republican Party's structure is built upon grassroots.
And the anger that you hear all the time is that grassroots says, they're not listening to me, right?
They're not listening to us.
caroline wren
It's true.
They want to win elections.
That's the function of the party is to win elections.
And we aren't winning elections right now.
And I'm sick of, I had to see Ronna McDaniel go on Fox News and say, well, some of these candidates weren't good.
It's not our job to pick the candidates.
We have great candidates.
These are candidates like Carrie Lake and Blake Masters who stepped away from their private sector jobs, their lives, and their families to say, hey, I'll step up, put me in coach, I'll run for office.
It's our job as the party and consultants to help them win.
We are putting them in unwinnable situations and then blaming them for not winning.
And it is really outrageous.
It is cruel.
Mitch McConnell said the same thing.
He didn't even spend one penny in Arizona, because he said, oh, I focus tested Blake Masters.
I didn't think he was that good.
So let me go spend $10 million on Lisa Murkowski in Alaska.
And you left Blake Masters hanging, and enough is enough.
I'm telling you, the donors are done.
They're not writing another penny to the RNC, nor should they, until there is a change.
steve bannon
Hold it.
Hold it.
You're telling me we finally have the donors listening to the base?
Is that what you're saying?
caroline wren
You know, I've told this to donors.
In 2004, the Democrats had lost the House, the Senate, and the Presidency.
And George Soros called a meeting.
And he called a meeting of the top 30 Democratic donors and the top 5 political consultants.
And Soros said, you know what?
We've given you hundreds of millions of dollars and all you've done is lost.
We are not writing you another penny until you come back to us on ideas that involve funding institutions, ideas, and people that live beyond one election cycle.
We're 17 years out from that meeting and this is why they have this web of C3s, the most coordinated funding that you've ever seen in your life, because in that meeting the donor said, We are closing our wallets and we're going to go fund the grassroots and different things.
The Republican Party needs to have that moment.
We've had, now, two consecutive, I would say, Pearl Harbor moments of elections.
It is not going well.
And the only way to stop it is donors to band together and say, my wallet is closed.
steve bannon
Real quickly, you're obviously very close to Carrie Lake.
We had Colonel Rogers, she told us an update.
What's your update on the legal side?
And I gotta tell you, most people understand, when you go into court for these type of trials, you prepare for six months, eight months, every day in advance.
They're doing it on the fly over the last ten days.
Now we know it's go day, it's tomorrow I think.
caroline wren
It is, yeah.
steve bannon
Okay, so give us an update.
caroline wren
So right now, our attorneys are in a room right now inspecting ballots.
About four days of that was granted, so they're all in there right now pouring through those, in addition to preparing for trial.
Now, this trial is supposed to start tomorrow.
I halfway expect, though, that any moment we could hear that Mark Elias comes in and challenges and appeals and tries to push this off, because they're terrified.
Why are they terrified?
Because the trial that starts tomorrow allows for our attorneys to call All right!
All right!
Now if they don't, tomorrow is when the trial starts.
And this is going to be big.
Alright! Alright!
Stephen Richer of Maricopa County, they are going to have to sit with their hand on a Bible and answer these questions.
And so I just for no second don't believe that Mark Elias is not going to come in and swoop and file and stop everything.
Now if they don't, tomorrow is when the trial starts.
And this is going to be big. I mean the horrendous conduct that took place on Election Day in Maricopa County, I was here.
You know, I started to get very nervous even the day before.
I thought, they're going to do something funny.
We actually thought that it was going to be, they're going to run out of paper.
So we started stocking paper in warehouses to be prepared.
You know, I did not have the foresight to think that they would have half of the tabulator machines go down for eight hours on election day when all the, you know, Republicans were voting.
Thank goodness I called Harmeet Dhillon the day before and she flew out and was on the ground with us helping every single step of the way.
This is why we need a Harmeet Dhillon.
steve bannon
This is the importance on that part in this lawsuit.
It's intentional.
This was not just incompetence.
A judge has sat there and go, you can call witnesses, you can call Katie Hobbs, you can call Richards.
This was an act of commission to steal this vote, to steal the vote of all, every person in Arizona, particularly Maricopa County.
caroline wren
This is why Kerry Lake is incredible and such a fighter.
People were calling you, Robert, stand down.
You can see that, let this go away.
You know, you can have a bit, you can run for Senate again next time if you just stand down on this and tone it down.
Kerry said, what?
Run for what?
We don't have real elections.
So like, why are you all recruiting me to run for Senate?
I'm going to stay here and fight until we have free and fair elections or else no one's going to win.
President Trump is on the ballot in 2024.
If I don't fight this right now and try and clean it up, who cares who we're running?
And why are not more people saying that?
steve bannon
No, they came to Kerry and said, hey, you've got a great future, TV shows, do everything you want, what you've got to do is back off Arizona.
This is going to hurt your brand.
Do you think it hurts her brand by fighting?
caroline wren
No, look at her.
She's got a hero's welcome here.
That's not even why she's doing it.
Yeah, and they're right.
She's not doing it for the notoriety.
She has plenty of notoriety.
I mean, she's doing it because this is wrong.
It is wrong, and we have to stand up for right and wrong, and this is the right thing to do.
steve bannon
Are they ready for trial tomorrow?
unidentified
They are.
caroline wren
It's just a lot.
I mean, it's a very fast truck.
Like, we had to expedite everything, which is right.
I mean, it has to happen before she's inaugurated.
And so, you could not file an election challenge until the election had been certified.
That was one of the problems.
I come on your show a lot.
People are saying, Caroline, come on.
Where's the election?
Where's the lawsuit?
I was frustrated.
I'm like, let's get this out.
It's a weird rule, but that's why we're going fast.
steve bannon
Let's go to break.
We'll come back when we get something about the evangelical Christians in Brazil, what's happening there in 15 seconds.
What's Mark Elias going to do to try to stop this?
caroline wren
Everything in his power.
He already has that.
I mean, they cannot allow this to happen.
Mark Elias has been running a criminal election empire for 15 years, unanswered at this point.
The only person who's actually beat Mark Elias in court is Harvey Dillard.
She's beat him twice.
So we should remember that.
unidentified
Amen.
steve bannon
Short break.
unidentified
We're going to be back with the Wolverine posse in a moment.
Getter has arrived.
The new social media taking on big tech, protecting free speech, and canceling cancel culture.
Join the marketplace of ideas.
The platform for independent thought has arrived.
Superior technology.
No more selling your personal data.
No more censorship.
No more cancel culture.
Enough.
Getter has arrived.
It's time to say what you want, the way you want.
Download now.
Okay, welcome back.
steve bannon
Colonel Rogers, we got the Trump store with.
It's Karen and Steve Shelton.
unidentified
Slayton, yeah.
steve bannon
Slayton.
We just signed a book for them, right?
We're going to deliver that up to the folks.
Tell us about the Trump store and those folks.
unidentified
The Trump store in northern Arizona, in my district, in Show Low, Arizona.
It's owned by Steve and Karen Slayton, who are watching now, who are great patriots, an iconic store in Arizona.
President Trump knows about it.
They adore you, Steve.
They have your show on throughout the day.
And these folks are emblematic of the grassroots and of our wonderful state of Arizona.
So Karen and Steve Slayton, God bless America.
We love you.
steve bannon
We love you guys.
We love the fact you're watching War Room Live.
Thank you so much.
To the Trump store, Karen and Steve.
Ben Burquam.
ben bergquam
Let's start with Sandra.
She came from Palm Desert.
Sandra, tell us what you want to say.
unidentified
Yes, I'm here from East Valley.
Republican Women, the largest independent organization.
And I'm here because our country is circling the drain.
There is no cavalry coming.
The cavalry is us.
And if we're going to save our republic, we must arm ourselves with information.
So I'm here to gather information and spread information to our posse back home.
That's why I've reached out to you, Steve.
We have to win this war, and this is how we do it.
steve bannon
Amen.
Hang on one second, Ben.
Any updates on that poll?
This is what we want to know.
We took a poll here.
What did it have to say to the American people about what the most activist group that ever comes together about the RNC, the direction of the RNC?
caroline wren
The poll said enough is enough.
We need a new leader of the Republican Party.
It overwhelmingly said that.
It said 1.6% and it must have been a couple people who didn't understand the question or they live in DC and their consultants for the RNC said that they approve of the job that Ronald McDaniel is doing as chair.
And we can appreciate Ronna.
She's a very nice woman, stepped up from the grassroots, was from Michigan, and came in.
But six years is too long.
We have to have a change.
Nobody thinks this is going well.
Harmeet Dhillon is an unbelievable person.
She graduated high school at 16 years old.
She went to Dartmouth, editor of the Dartmouth Review, went to University of Virginia Law School.
From there, she was the editor of the Law Review.
She was the head of the Federalist Society.
She is the chair of the Republican National Lawyers Association.
She is a grassroots precinct member that worked her way up through California.
And it's her committee woman, and the RNC's trying to say, don't vote for this lady, she's not qualified.
Who is more qualified than what I just laid out?
steve bannon
Last thing, give me 60 seconds on Carrie Lake, how can people support her, and what's going to happen tomorrow, where can people watch it?
caroline wren
The best way to support Carrie Lake is what you already did, which was overwhelm the polls on election day.
And it is a shame that that vote is being taken from you and Carrie is fighting for you.
If you want to stand with her financially, you go to SaveArizonaFund.com.
The most important thing that you can do tomorrow, though, is pray.
You can pray for the attorneys to give them the courage and wisdom.
You can pray for the judge to give him the strength to do the right thing.
And you can pray for Carrie, who has put her whole life on the line for you guys, the people, and that is really what we need you to do.
steve bannon
Can we give it up for Caroline Wren?
What's your social media?
How do people get to you?
caroline wren
Follow her 24-7 right now.
unidentified
Caroline Wren on Twitter. Follow her 24-7 right now.
steve bannon
Caroline Wren, Ben Berkwan.
ben bergquam
Deacons over here from the church. We were talking about this yesterday with Father Pavone.
Unbelievable what's happening.
Talk to us about Christianity, why we have to fight back.
unidentified
Yeah, we have to fight back because this really comes down to the fact, the lowest common denominator, it's good versus evil.
And we have to be able to stand in the gap because there are people that don't understand that.
So those that have a spiritual understanding have to be able to stand up and have to be able to pray for those things that we see that other people don't see.
ben bergquam
We stand with Father Pavone.
And lastly here, Denise.
We got cookies, Steve.
I met Denise at the Maricopa County office.
She was on fire out there.
Let them have it.
Thank you, Denise.
steve bannon
I'm breaking my New Year's resolution early.
unidentified
I'm only doing it for you.
steve bannon
Thank you so much.
Where are you from?
caroline wren
I'm from Phoenix, right here in Ahwatukee.
steve bannon
In Maricopa County?
caroline wren
In Maricorruption County.
unidentified
It's all about grassroots and taking back our state.
steve bannon
Was this election stolen from Kerry Lake?
unidentified
Yes it was and we're going to win!
steve bannon
We're going to win!
We're going to win in court.
Give me 60 seconds on Brazil, Bolsonaro, and the Evangelical Christians.
Are they going to stand up and make sure that Lula, the international criminal, is not going to steal their country?
matthew tyrmand
Yes, they have to.
Otherwise, Brazil is Venezuela in three months.
Gulags will be built.
They are going to war on the streets.
Last night, a source told me that the military tribunal, the Supreme Court of the military, put an ultimatum to the electoral court that we talk about every day and said, you give us the machines by midnight last night.
Wow.
This gives them the pretext this week to act and invoke article 142.
And you're right, it is a prayerful movement on the ground.
It is a Christian, evangelical, and Catholic movement.
So at 4am yesterday morning, the federal police that report to the Supreme Court, Marias, arrested one of the leading pastors.
He was asleep in his tent.
At 4am, they dragged him out of the tent, they arrested him, and then the other protesters got video of 12 police cars, sirens blazing, as they took him to jail.
This is Stalinism.
This is Venezuela.
If they do not win, the southern hemisphere is gone, China controls it, and they're coming for us next.
steve bannon
They better win.
By the way, if they defeat the evangelical Christians in Brazil, they're going to do it here in the United States.
It's coming.
We have to pray for everybody in Brazil and have their back.
matthew tyrmand
They appreciate you so much, you, Tucker, Emeril, the few outlets that are covering this, because the revolution will not be televised.
Well, starting next week, after they invoke Article 142, global media is going to wake up and call this a coup.
No, this is the quelling of a coup, constitutionally endowed by the Constitution, Article 142, hopefully coming in the next 48 hours.
steve bannon
How do people follow you?
matthew tyrmand
At MatthewTiermon, M-A-T-T-H-E-W-T-Y-R-M-A-N-D, and at War Room.
steve bannon
Can we hear it for Matthew Tiermon?
We've got the great Charlie Kirk.
unidentified
Do you guys love AmFest?
steve bannon
Charlie we've got about 60 seconds of the transition.
By the way, the War Room Posse, are you guys glad you came?
unidentified
You gotta teach these young folks something, right?
steve bannon
Charlie Kirk.
matthew tyrmand
Well, Steve, thanks for being here.
unidentified
We had a lot of fun last night.
You made some news.
You were a little fired up.
And, you know, we always have a rule with no swearing.
But with Tim Pool after dark, it's okay.
And it's Steve Bannon.
matthew tyrmand
He can do whatever he wants.
unidentified
So, and then we have you, I think, kicking off our show.
And I want to dive into that a little bit more.
I thought we were getting into some really important themes on Tim's show that we don't talk about enough.
You know, pinpointing that anywhere between 35 to 50 million people said no to the shot.
steve bannon
I think that's something that we're going to explore.
Okay, stick around.
The Charlie Kirk Show is next.
We're doing it live here from AmFest.
I want to thank all the women in Posse.
unidentified
Everybody watching at home, we want you at the next AmFest.
