Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
The people had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try 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?
MAGA Media. 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. Bannon.
USA! USA! USA! USA!
steve bannon
I noticed there's a little edge on you guys this morning.
It has nothing to do with partying last night, right?
God, they roll 24-7.
Okay, a couple of great questions from over here.
Some of the ladies said, hey, number one, Garland and these guys are still out rolling up another thousand investigations on another thousand people that were on the lawns, right?
In addition, some people don't feel comfortable.
I mean, given how Fox has not really covered President Trump, they're not totally comfortable.
As much as they love Tucker Carlson, they're not particularly comfortable in just giving it Tell Fox, are you or your staff also going to be there to say, hey, this is what we need to put forward, even if some of the broadcast networks are uncomfortable with that?
marjorie taylor greene
Oh, yeah, of course.
Absolutely. And I want to bring something up.
This is why Real America's Voice is so important, everyone, because there is a major effort.
The left wants to cancel conservative media.
They've already kicked off OAN. They've already kicked off Newsmax.
They would actually like to kick off Fox News as well.
And we don't know the future there in Fox News.
We'd love to see them be more conservative, wouldn't we, Steve?
More MAGA. More MAGA, please.
Thank you. And so we, listen, this is why supporting networks like Real America's Voice is so extremely important because I want you to imagine the 2024 election, and Steve, you know exactly what I'm saying, when we don't have conservative national media getting across our message, our policies, and our candidates.
We cannot win elections unless we're able to do that.
steve bannon
Hang on. You were just in a room with Gabe Sterling and you were in his grill, right?
And his arrogance and lack of information and dismissive attitude.
That's what we're going up against in Arizona.
That's what we're going up in Wisconsin.
But particularly, that's what we're going up against the Republican political royalty in the great state of Georgia, ma'am.
marjorie taylor greene
That's right. And this is why you all are so important.
And this is why Steve Bannon's show is so important.
And all the information. Yes, he is.
No, listen. Steve, look.
Steve Bannon is a national treasure.
He is. And God bless him.
Because he never holds back.
And people like Ben Berquam, who bravely risked his life.
unidentified
Ben Berquam! Berquam!
marjorie taylor greene
Yes. Ben, I've been with Ben to the border.
That man has no fear.
He will show you the invasion happening every single day.
And God bless you, Ben.
Thank you. But here's our situation.
It is grave and serious.
They didn't change the voting laws.
They didn't fix the problems in many states.
My state included. They should have gone a lot further.
And so when I had the opportunity, by my surprise, to walk in an election integrity caucus hearing, and the empty seat I sit in happens to be beside the failure and the fraud Gabe Sterling from the Georgia Secretary of State's office that ran our stolen election.
Well, I had a few words to say to him.
steve bannon
No, no, no. It was perfect, but hold it.
But his arrogance and just dismissive attitude, how are we going to take, what are we going to do to take care of that?
If President Trump, look, Georgia's MAGA, you know that.
Right. Okay, Georgia's MAGA, no doubt about that.
If we don't win Georgia, if we don't win Arizona, Georgia was stolen, Arizona was stolen, Wisconsin was stolen.
If we just have a fair accounting, Trump will win all three, he'll be president in 2024.
Without all three of those, Trump is not president.
How do we do that in Georgia?
marjorie taylor greene
We have to never stop fighting, okay?
That's what they want you to do.
They want you to give up.
Why do you think they're arresting another 1,000 people that simply walked into the Capitol on January 6th?
steve bannon
Is that intimidation? Are they trying to intimidate this audience by doing that?
marjorie taylor greene
Of course they're trying to intimidate you.
This is why Dominion is suing OAN Newsmax and Fox News and everyone that works there, because they're trying to silence them.
This is a full-on effort by the left to win elections.
Win them by cheating and stealing them, but also defeating you so you don't go fight at the ballot box and work harder and never give up trying to fix our elections.
For them to say there was no fraud in 2020 is a bold-faced, insulting lie.
steve bannon
Was President Trump duly elected on 3 November of 2020 in mind?
marjorie taylor greene
I can tell you something I know with all my heart is we reelected President Trump for four more years on November 3, 2020.
steve bannon
Now, I know you've got to bounce, but talk to us about this new bill that you're putting up.
What's the details and how can people help you?
marjorie taylor greene
Thank you. I introduced it last Congress.
I'm reintroducing it this week.
I need you to call all your members of Congress to co-sponsor this bill.
It's the Protect Children's Innocence Act.
We have got to protect our kids from these gender reassignment surgeries.
It is the most horrific evil.
And my bill would make it a felony.
And we have to do this because there's kids in California, there's kids in other states whose parents cannot stop this while they are being just confused during a time they're actually still growing up.
So anything you guys can do to help me get this bill passed?
steve bannon
I got to ask you a question. In your first term, when you weren't on any committees, you put up all these great bills from impeaching Biden to everything else.
And now you put up this.
How many co-sponsors?
This is the problem. The problem's not you.
You're a fighter at the tip of the spear.
The problem is we have too many gutless Republicans.
How many co-sponsors? This bill, every Republican should be a co-sponsor, correct?
Any doubt? It should be.
marjorie taylor greene
I had close to 50 last Congress.
I'm reintroducing it this week, and pressure's on.
This is one that Republicans can't turn away from.
Because if the Republican Party...
Can't be the party that stops kids from having their breasts cut off, being castrated, puberty blockers, testosterone treatment, and a lifetime of horrific health problems from an industry that's making billions and billions of dollars by abusing children.
It's child abuse with genital mutilation that I don't know what kind of party we are.
steve bannon
Okay. We'll get to your site.
Okay, you're the first one to bring up audits on Ukraine.
I see people going on Fox, these other things, they want to give more billions of dollars.
Right now in Congress, Russ Vogt, you've got these balanced budget bills on Medicaid to take out $2 trillion over 10 years, other social safety net, cuts in defense spending.
How can we look at cutting Medicaid to get to a balanced budget of American citizens when we're given $200 billion To Ukraine.
Where do you stand on that and how do we get Ukraine to zero and then fully audit it and get our money back they stole?
marjorie taylor greene
Right. Well, this is a pretty easy one, and everyone listening and everyone watching your show at home does not support a war in Ukraine.
Do you support a war in Ukraine?
No. But the warmongers and the neocons and those that just want to fight so badly, they're the ones supporting the war in Ukraine.
You know what we should tell them?
We should tell them to suit up, boys, and go over there and fight on the front line yourself.
Amen. Here's what I did.
I reintroduced my resolution of inquiry.
I reintroduced it that will audit Ukraine.
And that will be handled in the Foreign Affairs Committee upcoming in the next week or two.
They owe you all an audit.
You need the receipts on where your money's going.
Because there's so much evidence of corruption.
And let me tell you something else, Steve.
Zelensky said he wants our sons and daughters, and there is no way in hell.
steve bannon
Are your sons and daughters going to go fight for Zelensky in Ukraine?
With the German kids not volunteering to go in the German army in France and all of it, are you prepared to send your sons and daughters to fight for NATO if they won't?
marjorie taylor greene
But I tell you, there is a greater war that we should care about, and that's the war that the Mexican cartels are waging on America that Washington refuses to acknowledge.
They are waging a war against us, and this town...
It's terrifying.
They must be scared. These big talkers, think about this, Steve.
These guys that talk so big and bold about, ooh, we're going to fight Russia.
Oh, we're going to fight China.
They're scared to death of the Mexican cartels because they're allowing them to murder over 300 Americans every single day with fentanyl from China.
steve bannon
How are you going to generate the interest?
Look, you're at the tip of the spear.
You clearly are in simpatico with the MAGA base.
Yeah. How are we going to translate, like for instance, the Foreign Affairs, we control the Foreign Affairs Committee.
Are they right now, as you see it, going to support your resolution to audit every penny that goes into Ukraine?
marjorie taylor greene
You think they will? Yeah, because last Congress, just a few months ago, every single Republican voted yes.
And so I fully expect them, if they voted yes then, of course they're going to vote yes now.
An audit for Ukraine is the right thing to do, and I believe they will vote yes for it.
steve bannon
Amen. What about the Mexican cartels?
Are you going to put forward a resolution?
How can we get the rest of the Republicans on board for paramilitary action to actually go and shut down the Mexican drug cartels and human trafficking cartels?
marjorie taylor greene
Well, Steve, you know what the war room posse has?
They actually have the power.
You all actually have the power because guess what?
You're the voters.
You're also the donors.
Do you understand how much power you have?
Your voice is the loudest voice and the only voice that matters at the end of the day.
You should tell every single Republican, you guys should organize, you should create messaging campaigns, because that's what the left does.
The radical left, they organize and they'll call in our offices and say all kinds of stuff.
You guys need to organize and make sure that this government here understands that you don't care about the Ukrainian people.
You don't want World War III. You do not want to participate in that war.
There should be peace in Ukraine.
But that you care about defending our southern border from the Mexican cartels that are destroying it.
That's what you should do. You have the power, Steve.
steve bannon
They have the power. Last question about the debt ceiling.
Are we going to have no increase in the debt ceiling in big cuts this year in appropriations like Russ Vogt wants to make sure that we can eventually get to a balanced budget?
Is there the heart for the fight in the Republican House?
Because if the Republican House doesn't do it, it's not going to get done.
marjorie taylor greene
There has to be a heart for the fight because we're faced with this challenge, whether we like it or not.
I mean, I haven't been in Congress, but this is my second term.
I didn't vote for any of this garbage that put us in this position, but I still have the heart for the fight because this is the challenge we have to have.
We have to do something because we are going to go broke.
We're already broke.
Do you know in the next 10 years, if everything stays like it is, $10 trillion will be spent in interest alone.
$10 trillion in interest alone.
You can't even fathom that.
We cannot pass a clean debt ceiling bill.
We have to demand radical changes.
Steve, it is critical.
We have to cut $3 trillion in spending.
$3 trillion. Because the Biden administration...
steve bannon
If the Republicans have the stones to stand before the American people and say, this is the $3 trillion that we have to cut.
marjorie taylor greene
Yeah, they have to.
I'm not saying whether we do it.
steve bannon
We have to. Do they understand if we're going to cut three trillion, which we have to, that would go to American citizens mainly, that we can't send one more penny to Ukraine?
By the way, this is not a pacifist crowd.
Most of this crowd are either veterans or have sons or daughters that are there.
Do you want your sons and daughters to die on foreign battlefields?
Do you want to spend another nine trillion dollars like we spent in Iraq and Afghanistan on these foreign adventures to make the military industrial complex wealthy?
No! MTG tells us, where do people get you?
How do they get to you? How do they get to your site?
How do they find out everything you're working on?
marjorie taylor greene
MTG4America.com is where you can find everything that I'm working on.
You can buy great shirts that say, defund the FBI. You guys can support me there.
steve bannon
MTG4America.com. Do you want to defund the FBI? Should we do that?
Do we want to defund the Justice Department?
Okay, let's tell MTG. We still love her, right?
marjorie taylor greene
Thank you so much.
Thank you, you guys are the best.
unidentified
Let's hear it!
MTG! MTG! MTG! MTG! MTG! MTG!
steve bannon
We're gonna be back, we're gonna take a short commercial break.
we'll be back on CPAC Friday live from CPAC here in the War Room.
unidentified
China, you're done!
Take a doubt with CCP!
Everything's just beginning, but the games you want to play Bring it on and have a fight to the end, just watch and see It's all started, everything's new Host, Stephen K. Bann Okay, okay, you're back in the War Room.
steve bannon
We've already had some noise complaints.
Of course, Berkwam.
There's somebody back there. I don't know if you're still back there.
A question. Was Ashley Babbitt murdered in cold blood?
Do we have to open up an entire investigation to bring justice for Ashley Babbitt?
Is there any doubt in your mind?
I just want to make sure we set the record straight there.
It's outrageous. Natalie, hold up what we've got.
We've got a very special segment now, the indictment.
Hold it, Frank Gaffney, is this just more right-wing, over-the-top?
Xi Jinping, he's partners with all guys on Wall Street, he's partners with all the big corporations, with high-tech, with everybody in Europe.
He's bringing a peace deal to Ukraine.
Why are you picking on the Chinese Communist Party and the senior leadership, Frank Gaffney?
unidentified
I'm not picking on him.
I'm trying to prevent him from destroying our country, which is what he has set out to do.
Make no mistake about it.
I'm With my colleague D.D. Laugason, the executive secretary of our presentation.
steve bannon
Is what Frank Gaffney is saying, is that racist to go after the CCP? Not at all.
marjorie taylor greene
CCP is different.
We are different from CCP. Absolutely.
unidentified
Lao Bai Jing is against the CCP.
Let's hear it for the Lao Bai Jing!
Take down the CCP!
Start by indicting them in the court of public opinion, if not in federal court.
It is, as Steve Bannon likes to say, a transnational criminal organization.
It has engaged in war crimes against our country already.
And crimes against humanity against the Chinese people.
steve bannon
Exactly. They're the worst dictatorship in the world.
But hang on. I'm interested in going after the CCP, but I'm as interested in going after the CCP's collaborators here in the United States of America.
Are you going to do that?
Do you have the stones to do that?
unidentified
The prosecution...
is of the CCP and its enablers in America.
And those are the guys who are engaging in treason.
You mentioned Wall Street.
I say it every time I'm on this show, they're sending your money to fund their attacks on us.
steve bannon
I want this audience to understand. How it's their money that shifted the factories over to China, and it's their money that is financing.
And the CCP, here's the thing.
The five families that run the five factions are the five wealthiest families on Earth.
They make the Saudis look like peasants.
Talk to me about how they're using their money, their pension fund money, and their tax money to fund themselves.
unidentified
This is the dirty little secret, folks.
One element of that unrestricted warfare the Chinese Communist Party has engaged in against us for decades is the economic warfare piece.
They've bought up people that Steve used to work with on Wall Street, and those guys take your money from pension funds and mutual funds and index funds and exchange-traded funds, and they send it to the People's Liberation Army's companies.
To wage war against us, not just the unrestricted kind, the shooting kind.
steve bannon
No, it can't happen. That can't happen because you have Congress oversees this and the Biden regime oversees this.
So it couldn't possibly happen.
unidentified
Well, that's why we need an indictment, folks.
We saw the first hearing this week, and those guys are talking about a lot of problems, but this is not the time to just admire the problem.
It's the time to prosecute the CCT. Okay, to prosecute the indictment, where do they go?
steve bannon
Frank, where do they go to get the indictment?
unidentified
Theindictmentbook.com is where we're starting right now.
steve bannon
We're going to roll it out.
We're going to have a huge announcement about the indictment, the book, but right now you go to theindictment.com.
unidentified
Theindictmentbook.com. Theindictmentbook.com.
You can pre-order it now, and I encourage you to do so.
steve bannon
Do we have an extra mic up there?
Is it Matt Gaetz in the house?
unidentified
Matt Gaetz, let's go up and grab a microphone.
steve bannon
We got four mics up there, don't we?
unidentified
Steve, we both have a haircut at the same time.
steve bannon
I don't have a bouffant though.
Frank Gaffney, we're starting a new project to prosecute the Chinese Communist Party and their collaborators here in the United States.
Is that something you agree with and is something that you think you're prepared to back in Congress?
unidentified
Well, we had a China initiative when Donald Trump was president, and lo and behold, one of the first things that the Biden administration did when they took over the Department of Justice was to dissolve the special focused effort to go after people who are working with the CCP. Matter of fact, I think Natalie Winters goes after the CCP a lot harder than the entirety of the Biden administration.
steve bannon
Does Natalie Winters go after the CCP hard?
unidentified
Hold it! Harder than Congress!
steve bannon
Gates, but seriously, how are we going?
We just had MTG up here.
You got Gaffney done all these webinars.
You got all these patriots, guys from the Reagan administration, know how to take down the Soviet Union.
When are we going to get Congress on point?
I mean, we've got you, but that's why, no offense, your YouTube clips go viral because you're the only guy.
It seems like you're the only guy hammering it.
unidentified
Well, I just took the stage and called for a major change to the way Congress is conducting oversight.
matt gaetz
Yesterday, House Democrats smeared FBI whistleblowers, patriots who would come forward to talk about the targeting of our fellow Americans, how they were cooking the books to try to create this illusion of extremism all over America that is total nonsense.
unidentified
They leaked deposition information to harm our work, and so I have called to remove all of the Democrats from the depositions if they're going to obstruct the investigation.
And here's the challenge.
Here's where I need the war room posse.
There are still Republicans who believe we can do oversight in the flavor of Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy.
And the Democrats changed the rules of the game with the January 6th committee, and I am not above using those tools, and even tougher tools, to go after this weaponized government that has been turned against our own.
And I got four months in a federal prison to prove that!
Do it! You're our movement's Mandela, Ben.
steve bannon
Talk to us.
How is Comer, how are you proposing to change it?
We've got to go on offense.
I think they see you, they see MTG, they see a couple of others, but we need to go on offense and we need to go on offense now.
How is that going to happen and when is it going to happen?
unidentified
Things like doing an indictment of the Chinese Communist Party and their collaborators here in the The Congress isn't going to indict anyone because that's not a power opposed in Article I, but we continue to fund this.
That's where the American people need to be really upset and frustrated with the United States Congress.
And so with this work that we do to show the surveillance that is happening against law-abiding Americans, the list building, And it's not just the FBI and DOJ. You look at the CDC now wanting to make lists of the unvaccinated.
The ATF having records of a billion transactions, private transactions among gun owners.
And I believe that we have to defang these agencies by zeroing out their budgets and by stripping them of their authority.
steve bannon
Hold it, hold it, hold it. Do we want to defund the FBI? Yes!
Do we want to defund the DOJ? Do we want to defund the CDC? Do you want to defund the FDA? Is that what we're talking about?
unidentified
ATF? I would throw the ATF in.
steve bannon
Well, you want to defund with ATF? You want to defund?
That's too easy. You want to start with the ATF? I thought that was a series of...
I thought that was shops down in Florida.
unidentified
That's right. Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms is just what we call a good weekend.
steve bannon
Matt, talk to us about Ukraine and the budget.
Right now, you're one of the leaders of we've got to be rational about Ukraine.
This audience wants zero dollars to Ukraine.
Is that going to happen? Are we going to have a fight in the House to really not just audit it, but to say, Zelensky, if Biden's telling you his foreign policy is to retake Crimea, God bless you.
Get the French and the German to put the money in.
And more importantly, put the young men and women in that battlefield in Crimea should come from the NATO countries in Western Europe.
unidentified
I remember not long ago coming to CPAC and being like a lone voice in the wilderness against excessively involving the United States in this war in Ukraine.
And I felt like speaker after speaker on the CPAC stage was like waving pom-poms for this.
And now we've got less than half the country supporting our continued march toward World War III. And I don't say that as an applause line.
I say that to give you cause for concern.
I do not fear Russia's broken tanks.
I fear Russia's nuclear arsenal.
And, you know, figuring out which guy in a tracksuit runs Crimea isn't worth putting the safety and the future of our country at risk.
And if you don't think this is inflationary, To continue to print money, to send it overseas, to then watch it end up in Swiss bank accounts or in the pockets of corrupt officials, then you're not following how the global economic system is turned against our fellow Americans.
And pardon me for not thinking it's a coincidence that Zelensky's new zeal for anti-corruption efforts and oversight seems to directly align with Republicans taking over in the House of Representatives.
But if we were to have A vote on Ukraine war powers on the House, not only would I lose that vote, but I would lose that vote within the Republican conference.
steve bannon
So know this. Every Republican should be turfed out the votes to continue to support this murderous war in Ukraine.
It should be turfed out. There's no excuse on this.
unidentified
Real quick, Congress is the lagging indicator.
The war room posse is the leading indicator, and I'm here to ignite all of you for the cause of peace in our world.
steve bannon
We know you've got to bounce. We've got about a minute and a half.
The debt ceiling and the budget.
Are we going to get dramatic cuts like Russ Vogt wants in the appropriation bill and the budget and no increase to the debt ceiling?
No. It's not going to happen.
Of course not. Tell us what's going to happen.
unidentified
Well, I think that when you control one-half of one-third of the government, it's really important to use all of the leverage you have to try to get better outcomes.
And to me, it's nuts that we are approaching $30 trillion in debt and we are paying people not to work who are able-bodied Americans and we're giving them these exquisite benefits.
So I would end every tax break and every tax credit for illegal aliens that we give in this country.
We have work requirements on our social services.
If Clinton and Newt could work out work requirements, then Joe Biden should be willing to work with us on it.
steve bannon
We know you gotta bounce. How do they get to you?
unidentified
What's your social media? MattGates.com, at MattGates, at RepMattGates everywhere on the internet.
steve bannon
Thank you. Hold on, hold on. How do they get to the podcast?
unidentified
How do they get to the podcast? Firebrand is my podcast!
steve bannon
Firebrand the podcast!
Congressman Case is here!
unidentified
Let's kick down the CCP!
Stephen K. Babb Alright, here we go.
Woo!
Okay, it's CPAC Friday.
steve bannon
Okay, it's CPAC Friday.
We've got Dave Brat, Ambassador Grinnell.
We've got so much going on.
Reggie Littlejohn, WHO. We've got two minutes.
Hit it. What do people need to do on the WHO taking the sovereignty of the United States of America, ma'am?
unidentified
Steve, we are in a crisis right now.
There is a trap that has been set for the American people and for the world by the World Health Organization, and people don't even know about it because the mainstream media is not covering it.
The World Health Organization today is ending negotiations on two different instruments that would...
seriously impinge our sovereignty.
We'll establish a biotech surveillance state.
It would enable the World Health Organization to intervene in U.S. health care, not only for a pandemic, for any potential pandemic.
And it was just discovered that in the NDAA, Passed on December 23rd, 1,772 pages long, hidden in there on page 950, there's a Pandemic Preparedness Act of 2022 that contains a provision that would require the United States to comply with and adhere to anything that the World Health Organization...
steve bannon
So the Defense Authorization Act that nobody actually read because it got passed overnight provides this provision.
Okay, what is this audience supposed to do now?
What action item do they need to take today?
unidentified
We are calling on the United States Congress to refuse to increase the debt ceiling unless the United States will withdraw from the World Health Organization.
steve bannon
Do you want to withdraw from the WHO? President Trump did the Paris Accord in the first 30 days.
What happens, because all the liberals and all the writers are going to say, this is more crazy talk, more MAGA crazy talk.
We're pulling out of all these great institutions.
What happens to the United States and our sovereignty if we pull out a WHO? We get to keep our sovereignty, Steve.
That's what happens. Should those health decisions be made by Americans in the United States of America?
Reggie Littlejohn, where do they go to get more information about this?
unidentified
Getter. Real Reggie Littlejohn.
steve bannon
Getter. Okay, is that on any other social media?
I love you on Getter.
How about your website? Where do you go on Center for Security Policy?
unidentified
StopVaxPassports.com.
StopVaxPassports.com. Do you guys think it's right to have a vaccine passport?
steve bannon
Unbelievable. Ambassador Grinnell, talk about how hard President Trump in trying to get our sovereignty and fight all these crazy international organizations.
You were Ambassador to Germany.
You came back as DNI. How tough is the fight against the administrative state and the rogue element, the deep state?
richard grenell
Look, I think we're up against an incredible amount of bureaucrats in Washington that want to do their own thing.
I think, though, that what we have to be able to do is articulate why America First policies are good for the world.
And I think that there's an argument to be made.
I think our State Department, the Foreign Service officers, should be out front telling the world that when you have a superpower like America, who is concentrating on the rule of law, respect for human rights, democracy, capitalism, that that great set of rules for the world will benefit everyone.
When America puts itself first, the world benefits because we're not a conquering nation.
And we have to be unapologetic about America first is good for the world.
The opposite of America first is consensus with the world.
The lowest common denominator of policy is not good for the world.
We must be able to articulate why America first policies is good for Europe, is good for Latin America, is good for the Middle East.
And by the way, Steve, I don't think that there's a world leader out there who doesn't agree with that after watching the Biden administration.
steve bannon
By the way, by the way, you brought, you working with President Trump brought peace to the Balkans, which has never been done.
Why is that not a template?
Why are we putting hundreds of billions of dollars into fighting a proxy war in Russia?
You were ambassador to Germany.
You know they don't want to put up any money.
Their kids don't want to volunteer.
You got Zelensky saying he wants American kids to go over there and fight in the battlefield for NATO, which nobody supports.
We brought peace to the Middle East.
We brought peace to the Balkans.
One, was a legitimate President of the United States.
Number two, they respected him and his ambassadors like Rick Grinnell.
And number three, wait for it, they feared him.
The Ayatollahs in Persia, the KGB in Moscow, Erdogan in Turkey, the radical jihadis in Pakistan, the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing, Mini-Me in North Korea, all of them feared Donald J. Trump.
Do we need that back?
unidentified
Yeah, look, we absolutely need it back.
richard grenell
And I actually think that the world leaders want it back.
The reality is that I looked at Chancellor Merkel in the eye and I said, Madam Chancellor, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline...
steve bannon
Was she standing on a chair?
richard grenell
The Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a really bad idea.
And she would say to me...
Ambassador, you and Donald Trump and the American people do not understand that the Germans have a different relationship with Russia.
We can control Putin.
You may not be able to, but we can.
She lobbied us hard.
To get rid of the sanctions that we had on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Donald Trump said no. We took a lot of crap for saying no.
We were very unpopular for keeping the sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
What happened on day one of the Biden administration Is that Chancellor Merkel came and said, do you want to have consensus with the Europeans, Mr.
Biden? Do you want to have a better relationship where we're not criticizing you?
And he said, yeah, I would rather have good relations with Germany.
What do you want? She said, drop the sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
The Senate Democrats voted for that very much in the beginning of the Biden team.
They dropped the Trump sanctions on Putin's pipeline.
That signaled to Putin, I'm ready to now run right over them and start a war.
Make no mistake, the Senate Democrats, when they dropped the sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, they caused the war in Ukraine.
We then saw Joe Biden...
steve bannon
You hear that? You hear that right there?
richard grenell
We saw Joe Biden, for one...
Month constantly tell us that Russia was coming in.
The intel showed Russia is coming in to Ukraine.
All we saw was a march to war and more money and the State Department gets shoved aside.
There was no peace agreement.
Do you know, Steve, that the Secretary of State of the United States, Anthony Blinken, has not spoken to the Russian foreign minister in a year until two days ago?
For one year they didn't speak.
Well, there's a war going on.
And now what we see, the Chinese come forward with a peace plan that's actually decent.
And Zelensky says, wow, did you see the Chinese peace plan?
He's rubbing up on them. Zelensky said immediately, you respect territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Let's talk. That's what he said.
steve bannon
By the way, you got the house of sod that's now converting their oil payments into Chinese currency, yuan.
Our great buddies, the Iraqis, are doing that, right?
You're going to be...
Do you agree that Ambassador Grinnell is going to be the Secretary of State in the second Trump term?
unidentified
Is there any doubt on that? It's a must-do.
steve bannon
So your first two actions or three actions on January 20th of 2025 as the newly confirmed Secretary of State in Donald J. Trump's third victory but second term, what are you going to do, sir?
richard grenell
I'm going to call up my friend Bernie Moreno, who is the next senator from Ohio, and say, hey, Bernie, come on over.
unidentified
Hold it. This is Bernie Moreno from Ohio.
steve bannon
Bernie, say hi to everybody.
Bernie Moreno from Ohio.
So, Bernie, are you America first?
Are you going to support Trump?
unidentified
Are you going to support Grinnell? I already am all in for President Trump for one reason, Steve, which is the only person that cannot take us to nuclear war is President Donald J. Trump.
Seriously. Why is that?
steve bannon
Why is Trump the only one?
By the way, he gave us four years of peace.
He gave us four years of prosperity.
And the only speed bump we had was the bioweapon unleashed by the Chinese Communist Party.
Why is Trump the guy? You just said it.
unidentified
The other leaders fear him.
They respect him. He knows how to make a deal.
Biden has no chance.
They don't respect him. He'll never get peace in that area.
And that's what we should be doing.
We should be trying to de-escalate this conflict, not escalate it.
steve bannon
Talk to us about East Palestine, Ohio.
The game changer of Donald J. Trump going out there and speaking to the people.
unidentified
Steve, it's a town of 4,900 people, rural Ohio.
Great American patriots.
I was there when President Trump was there on Wednesday.
It was 35 degrees, snow turning into rain, and yet every resident of East Palestine lined up on the highway to greet this amazing man.
They were so thankful, they were so uplifted by his presence.
And let me just say this, he taught America right then and there what it actually means To put America first.
steve bannon
Yeah. Did President Trump's campaign for 2024 actually start that day?
Is there any other Republican candidate that you can think of as good as some of these governors are and senators that get some really high quality people?
Is anybody else possible to get 74 million votes out there in the United States or America in places like Ohio?
unidentified
If the election were today, President Trump would win by at least 25 to 30 points.
Nobody's gonna win like he's gonna win.
The reality is we have a lot of great Republicans on the bench, but we need President Trump back in the White House January of 2025 to put us back on track.
steve bannon
By the way, we've got to beat Sherrod Brown, right?
That's a must. Sherrod Brown's a phony faux populist, right?
But he's not the real deal. How are you going to take on?
He's a fire-breathing populist.
unidentified
How are you going to take him on? We have to expose him for what he is.
He's the most liberal senator in the U.S. Senate today.
More liberal than Elizabeth Warren.
More liberal than Bernie Sanders.
We have to raise the money to expose him.
I'm not a politician.
I've not done this my whole life.
I'm a business guy.
I came here from South America legally as a kid.
We have to have people from the outside that want to serve our country and draw that contrast to Sherbrooke.
steve bannon
Where do people go and find out more about you and your campaign?
unidentified
BernieMarino.com. Let's give it up for Bernie!
We did a tough fight in Ohio!
steve bannon
Hang on, we got a couple of special guests that are going to rotate in here.
Hang on, I'm going to ask a question.
I'm going to get asked a question.
What's your name? Oh, Pam from Chicago.
unidentified
I just moved to Nashville. You're what?
I just moved to Nashville from Chicago.
steve bannon
You left beautiful Chicago for Nashville, Tennessee?
Would anybody do that?
Would anybody rotate to that?
Oh my God, we lost...
Oh, Ambassador Grinnell!
Let's hear it for Ambassador Grinnell!
He got away from answering the question.
We'll get him on the show next week.
Is there any doubt in your mind that Ambassador Rick Renau is going to be the next Secretary of State under Donald J. Trump?
unidentified
Oh, oh, oh, oh my God.
steve bannon
Oh my God. Oh Lord.
We had, hold it, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
We had MTG auditioning.
Now we've got Congressman Bovart.
unidentified
Steve Bannon, it's great to be with y'all.
Now yesterday, I was told by Real America's voice, Karen was saying that her crowd was louder than yours.
steve bannon
Oh, hold on, hold on, hang on, hang on.
Hold on, she's correct technically with one thing.
We got, we had CPAC came out and said we had to tone it down.
unidentified
Oh, you have to tone it down. Can we give it up for Boebert, Congressman Boebert?
It's all right. We'll just identify as main stage right now.
steve bannon
Hold it. Here's a question we got for you.
Everybody wants that first week in January changed everything.
It did. That changed the entire direction.
Yes. And you're one of the diehard, one of the Magnificent Six.
Talk to us. Can we give it up for the Magnificent Six?
Thank you. So, Boebert, talk to us about right now, do you think we're fighting hard enough?
Because I've got to tell you, we've got the Matt Gaetzes, we have you, we have the MTGs, but we're not feeling it.
unidentified
Talk to us about it. I don't think that we are fighting hard enough right now.
We all need to ramp it up.
We have empowered each individual member of Congress to fight hard.
Harder than hell right now.
And we have got to increase that.
We have given Speaker McCarthy the tools to be a fantastic, strong speaker.
And we all have to do better.
We have to be issuing more subpoenas.
So far, what, we've issued tens of subpoenas?
Yeah. Not enough. Not enough.
steve bannon
No. Do we need more subpoenas?
Do we need them today?
unidentified
We have been waiting for this authority, for this power to issue subpoenas for years, to have actual oversight.
I serve on the Oversight and Accountability Committee, and so far, so good, but it has to be so great.
We have got to continue this.
We've already had the Twitter file hearings, part one.
There are going to be more.
We brought in those fired executives from Twitter.
steve bannon
Who, by the way, who, by the way, Thank you, Elon.
Executives, when you were grilling them, in your mind did some of those executives, and you can name names, perjure themselves in front of you?
unidentified
Congressman Boebert? I think every one of them did.
steve bannon
All four of them. Every one of them perjured themselves?
unidentified
Yes. Yes, so with the Twitter execs, they were nervous, each and every one of them, and there were so many lies that came out saying that they didn't know why people were censored, why people were banned, and Roth, he was right there, and he had to approve The shadow banning of my account.
We reached out to Elon Musk and they showed us exactly the tweet that shadow banned my account, how long it was shadowed for, how my account was affected.
And that was an egregious shadow ban according to them.
And he had to be one of the executives that approved the shadow ban before it even happened.
And he said he didn't even know about it.
steve bannon
How can we have oversight?
Here's the question for you.
How can we have oversight? When the Republicans, as they always do, play by the rules, you did the depositions, and what do the Democrats do immediately on the whistleblowers that have risked their lives and their careers to come forward on the FBI? They leak the depositions immediately because the Democrats know how to play Smash Mouth.
unidentified
They do. The Democrats are really good at playing dirty, and Republicans do want to play by the rules.
We have this desire to live a quiet and peaceable life.
We are the party of the rule of law, and we respect that.
But we can play by the rules and still get the job done.
We don't have to be dirty, but we have to be aggressive and use every tool at our disposal to expose these corrupt politicians, these corrupt bureaucrats, all of All of the engagements between Hunter Biden's business dealings and Joe Biden's business dealings.
steve bannon
Are we actually going to get to that?
Is this going to be another Benghazi?
unidentified
It better not be. I did not sign up for another Benghazi.
steve bannon
Are we going to get another Benghazi? Are we going to get the laptop from hell and tie the money directly back to the big guys?
unidentified
So I have seen the laptop from hell.
I've seen the contents of it, as I'm sure you have too.
And we are absolutely going to continue to have investigations on this.
Part one of those hearings was just exposing the censorship of it.
We have seen polls that show us that the outcome of the 2020 election would have been much different had the American people known about the corruption in the Biden crime family.
And so this was just part one of those hearings and the oversight.
Chairman Jamie Comer is doing great, and he is excited to get more aggressive in these hearings.
steve bannon
Are we going to move to strip the security clearances for the 51 intelligence officers that came out and said it was Russian disinformation and it was a lie?
unidentified
We're going to do that? I think that that's something that needs to be done.
Absolutely. Yes.
steve bannon
Okay. You're a rebel, and you're on some of the most powerful committees in the House because of your courageous stand.
Tell this audience, who is geared up to fight, Walk us through your one or two top priorities.
What is Lohan Boebert doing?
What do you think is the most important stuff and where's your fight gonna be?
unidentified
Well, these next two years have to be two years of exposure.
We have to get the truth out to the American people, that truth that has been censored, that has been hidden from you, that you have been lied to about.
Two years of full exposure and I expect all of that to lead to Criminal referrals to the DOJ, and then I expect President Donald J. Trump to do something about those criminal referrals in 2024.
steve bannon
Is there any doubt in your mind that Donald J. Trump is going to win the primary and then win the presidency again in 2024?
unidentified
President Trump has my support 100%, and I know he's going to win the primary, and he is certainly going to help us take back America by winning the general election in 2024 and finishing the job he started.
steve bannon
Congressman Boebert, these people want to stay up with you 24 hours a day.
What's your social media? What's your coordinates?
unidentified
What's your website? Yes, at Lauren Boebert is my Twitter.
And please join me at LaurenForFreedom.com.
We had a very tight election.
steve bannon
Did you actually have a tight election?
unidentified
Yes, I won by 546 votes.
I was the last Republican to be called.
That race to be finalized.
Democrats say that Colorado elections are the gold standards of elections.
So you know what that means, folks.
There's a lot of things that we need to fix in the state of Colorado, but I need your help to make sure that we can continue to win elections in the upcoming cycles.
So LaurenForFreedom.com, we need all the help that we can get.
And Steve... The last time you had me live on your show, I had a box to stand on, and I am absent a box, so I cannot see everyone today.
steve bannon
Hold it. She punches way above her weight class, doesn't she?
Let's give it up for Lauren Boebert.
unidentified
Thank you all so much.
God bless you. God bless America.
I love you all. I'm not going to stop fighting for you.
steve bannon
Thank you. Thank you. Congressman Boebert!
Okay, we got Dave Bratts in the house.
Can we give it up for Congressman Dave Bratts?
dave brat
All right, thanks Steve.
steve bannon
First off, should Dave Bratts run for the Senate?
It was against Cain, yeah.
Hold it, we want him to run to the Senate?
Or stay in liberty?
Are you thinking about running for the Senate?
dave brat
I have a bad dream every once in a while.
steve bannon
No! Can we get some volume on that, Mike?
Okay, can we get some volume? Brad, give me that again.
Are we going to break some news here?
Are you running for the Senate in the Commonwealth of Virginia?
dave brat
I've had a few bad dreams about it so far.
That's about it. But I want everyone to give a shout-out to the man who takes care of every issue, the Oxford Don of all these issues, Steve Bannon.
Give him a round of applause.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
No.
steve bannon
Hold it. I want to give a shout out.
I want to give a shout-out to RAV. Is RAV, you've got Charlie Kirk, you've got Ed Henry and Karen in the morning, you've got Jack Posobiec, right?
Is this the new channel and network for fighters?
Are they ever going to back down?
Rob Sigg, Rob Sigg right there, our CEO, founder.
unidentified
Rob Sigg. We need RAV. You want to come on over?
We need RAV everywhere, right?
steve bannon
What guy is crazy enough, think about it, what guy is crazy enough to put Ed Henry, Steve Bannon, and Jack Posobiec on in a row?
And it's only going to get better.
We're going to add more shows, going to get more distribution, because we get kicked off of much...
unidentified
No, I'm just kidding. Thanks to the War Room.
steve bannon
Okay, Brad. Right now, I've had some, you know, Gates didn't make us feel good.
You got $32 trillion of debt.
You're coming up on another $19 trillion by the CBO. We got $50 trillion.
We're spending a trillion dollars a year.
All I'm hearing is happy talk right now about cutting it.
What do we have to do right now?
What do we have to do right this minute to make sure that financially this country does not implode?
dave brat
Yep. Every piece of energy needs to be spent right now on the debt ceiling increase.
That's our only vote that carries true leverage to get done all this foreign policy stuff, the domestic stuff, the debt stuff.
And that is our one leverage point.
So everyone in the war room and everyone that's out there listening needs to contact.
There's only one person who can make it happen, and that's Speaker McCarthy.
He got the group of 20, but it's all going to be his play call.
I was in Congress.
They make the play call.
Everyone else just follows the budget logic.
steve bannon
Hold it, hold it. By prioritization of payments, is there any chance that with the cash coming in, the weak default on the...
On any security that the United States government's ever issued, sir?
dave brat
No, no. That's just a bunch of hype.
The U.S. has never defaulted on one dollar.
We never will. If we ever did not repay one dollar of U.S. Treasury bills, we'd be all fishing under a bridge with Frodo, right?
It would not be pleasant times.
That ain't gonna happen.
We got plenty of waste around that.
It's just a bunch of drama.
And my friend Massey in Congress had a good idea how to avoid all of it.
Just pass the CR right now to take away their talking point.
unidentified
Fund 90 % of government, take the leverage away.
dave brat
The Senate will never vote for that.
unidentified
But it'll end the talking points right now.
steve bannon
Unfortunately, that 10 % doesn't get us there. That's the problem.
Last thing, is this a spiritual war, yes or no?
dave brat
Oh, it's absolutely spiritual.
It's just good and evil straight up.
And that's the other thing you can all do.
Don't just talk about it.
Open the book. Get your kids to open up the book.
Go and pray for this country.
Everybody get to work on it.
And I won with no money, right?
A few years back, I had a nice big win.
unidentified
I won that by just asking everybody.
I just formed a cobweb.
dave brat
Tell all your friends to spread the War Room links.
Everybody sign up for it.
This is the best news ever.

dave brat

steve bannon

unidentified
