steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
I 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 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 line?
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.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
It's Monday, 5 June, Year of the Lord 2023, the eve of the 79th anniversary of the landing in Normandy.
We will break that down tomorrow and for the rest of the month talk about the battle in Normandy, which is much bigger than D-Day.
People just think it was taking the beach.
As horrific as that was, and it was horrific, that was just the beginning of a very bloody summer.
In 1944.
And here we are in 2023, 79 years later.
What have we learned?
Another bloody summer.
And I tell you, Bakhmut, the battle there is still raging, it turns out.
They're fighting now back and forth.
That's as bad as the bloodiest battle in the 21st century.
Rahim Ghassam, also National Pulse.
So morning, Joe Rahim. Here's what I'll get.
And by the way, we've got Mike Davis up, Todd Benzman up.
We're going to have the people leading the protests out against the Dodgers in these anti-Catholic groups that are out there trying to destroy baseball and destroy the family.
We're going to get to all of it. Rahim, Morning Joe is just got, they're talking about polling and they're high-fiving each other saying DeSantis has now turned it around in Florida, DeSantis has turned it around here, DeSantis is doing this.
But I got a story in the National Pulse that tells me that that's not actually true.
Can you walk me through this on the numbers and polling you're seeing?
raheem kassam
Yeah, sure. And big credit to the guys over at Rasmussen Reports.
I encourage everybody to go over to Rasmussen Reports for their daily tracking of this sort of thing.
But, you know, I had a good read of this, the cross tabs on this poll over the course of the weekend in advance of the release of this data from Rasmussen.
And what it shows us is this.
Ron DeSantis has lost ground since his campaign launch.
They did a February poll and then they did a post-campaign launch poll.
And Ron DeSantis loses two points in a head-to-head against Donald Trump in their poll, whereas Donald Trump actually picks up 13 points over that period, which is quite extraordinary, really.
And this will be kind of one of the worst bits of news that the DeSantis campaign could receive right now because, you know, you've had...
A terrible launch. You've had a couple of terrible weeks since the launch.
You've had close advisers to the governor actually having to leave because of tensions in the office with the chief strategist, Jeff Rowe, who's now in the spotlight himself, being sued in Nevada.
There are all of these kind of Clouds hanging over the DeSantis campaign.
And what do they do?
You know, they start to sort of obsess about what's being said on Twitter and they're trying to weaponize Twitter's fact-checking process against MAGA Republicans.
This tells you when a campaign is not run by top-tier campaign strategists because they are getting bogged down instead of fighting the actual campaign.
The numbers don't lie.
He's losing and he's losing more ground having already launched.
unidentified
That is unheard of.
steve bannon
You don't think that running to the right of President Trump on policy, let's leave the personalities aside, on policy, you don't think that they're laying the seeds for something that could become much better?
Because with Nikki Haley, the rest of the Keebler elves, it's just all kind of irrelevant.
You know, it's just all chitchat.
DeSantis is quite definitely, whether it's on the VAX, Maybe not Ukraine.
Whether it's WOKE and ESG and all that, he's clearly trying to, and he's making cutting comments about the president.
He didn't secure the border, I will, all that.
You don't believe that you're seeing the seeds of a, not victory, but potential to actually mount a more realistic charge, because right now it's not getting traction, with, on a policy basis, trying to go to the right?
raheem kassam
Yeah, I'm not feeling it.
I don't think people respond to sort of being read white papers from on stage about topics such as, quote, the woke mind virus.
Now, remember, I said a couple of weeks ago, I say it again, Being anti-woke is the very, very, very most basic way of being normal slash being a conservative if you are in politics, right?
You are effectively saying to the world, I don't believe in communism, I don't believe in cultural Marxism, I don't believe in the satanic order.
And I think that, you know, instead of going, oh, yay, he's anti-woke.
It's like, yeah, well, of course, we expect you to be anti-woke.
And going around, flexing your credentials on like, I'm so anti-woke.
I am like super anti-woke that everyone, you know, all these corporates don't want to do business again in my state.
Like, hold on. That is not the solution to woke, by the way.
The solution to woke is to beat it out of the corporations, keep them there, keep those jobs there.
Keep, you know, Floridian taxpayers benefiting from that sort of thing instead of chasing them away and saying, hey, you may not do business here.
But park that aside for a second.
You said it yourself. On Ukraine, on foreign policy, he's almost nowhere to be seen, nowhere to be heard.
And guess what? That's because of the people around him.
You said, Steve, earlier on in the show that the Haley approach to foreign policy is GOP establishment, dead in the water, doesn't have a constituent anymore.
I disagree. I think what they're doing is they're wrapping it in a magus skin suit and parading it around Iowa in the shape of Ron DeSantis right now.
That's who they think that they are going to make their stalwart for the old neocon, old neoliberal set of ideas that they know they're not going to get anywhere with Under Nikki Haley.
The other thing about DeSantis and the way he's approaching this campaign, which kind of just baffles me, is you go out there and you talk about policy issues and you go out there and you sort of pretend to run to the right on the vaccines and lockdowns and things like that on Trump.
But then when people actually go through the record, the tail of the tape, as it were, as it pertains to Florida, all they can actually end up pointing to is a slightly faster course correction than some other governors in the country.
Now, DeSantis, the way he course corrected certainly took him to the right of almost every other governor over the course of that time.
But his record on the actual issue when it mattered, his walking around wearing his mask with Dr.
Fauci, praising him on air, locking down the beaches, stopping sports being played, all of that sort of thing.
It's out there for everyone to see, and I think they thought that they could fool people faster, and I'm here to tell you, you can't fool MAGA world that easily.
It just doesn't happen like that.
You have to be selling the single most convincing lie in the world, and you'll only sometimes get some people to believe it.
They're not even doing that.
steve bannon
The MAGA is the most sophisticated political movement in the world, bar none.
The level of attention and people paying, not just this audience, the even broader MAGA. Real quickly, Musk.
Musk and Harnwell got a great buried lead on Saturday.
Musk is over there and actually came out and said, no, in fact, it's the Jamie Dimon thing.
I've been showing this Financial Times headline that Jamie Dimon is very concerned about the Ending of the current world order, right?
The post-war international rules-based order that was gamed, that the establishment brought in the Chinese Communist Party after Tiananmen Square, which my speech yesterday was, and we'll play cuts of that hopefully this afternoon.
But you've got even more reporting.
Walk us through it. Because the Elon Musk thing, and I know the fanboys all go, Steve, you've got to quit picking on Elon Musk, right?
This guy is the railhead of the collaborationist with the Chinese Communist Party, Raheem Kassam.
raheem kassam
You know, when you first started talking about that months and months ago, a year ago, whatever it was, over a year ago maybe, I thought, yeah, I'm not sure.
Let's see where all of this goes.
And I mean, oh my goodness, were you ever right?
In the last couple of months, right, think about it this way.
Elon Musk has gone to China and kowtowed before the CCP, said he doesn't believe in decoupling or whatever.
He has hired a World Economic Forum CEO and now, by the way, hosted Ron DeSantis, and now the new hire at Twitter is somebody that used to work for Linda Iaccarino, the World Economic Forum CEO,
who actually was at NBC and their job was to censor The ads that were going up on NBC and they censored a Donald Trump ad from going up on NBC. The guy's name is Joe Benarock.
Again, people can read all of these stories at thenationalpulse.com and Joe Benarock Has tweeted his love for drag queens.
He's talked about expanding inclusivity and equity and all this DEI nonsense.
This is the new person that they're hiring over there at Twitter.
So, you know, I say to people this, when they tell you who they are, take them at their word for it, because this is evidence of everything we've suspected.
steve bannon
Unbelievable. Rahim, I'm going to go more with you hopefully tomorrow or the next day.
I think we're going to get Fleckus on from one of the great podcasting network you're building up.
I want to talk about National Pulse for a second.
Mike Davis is going to join us here in a second, and we've got Todd Benzman.
Two guys I admire more and think of two of the smartest guys around, Darren Beattie and Raheem Ghassam.
I remember I first started doing my Elon Musk stuff.
Both of them had the same comment.
Bannon, you're finding commies under every bed.
You've got to dial it down.
I'm just saying. I got it.
Tell me about National Pulse.
I tell you, Raheem, it's on fire this weekend.
I don't know. You had five or ten stories that were must-read.
The different analyses you guys are doing, it's having a big impact.
I realize you guys are just launching.
How do people get there?
raheem kassam
Yeah, that's right. I appreciate that.
And happy to doff my cap to you on the Musk stuff.
On thenationalpulse.com forward slash war rumors, where this audience can go, it's a very limited time offer to come and support Real News, right?
We're not corporate backed.
We're not funded by big donors.
Nobody dictates our editorial positions to us.
That happens right here at this desk.
And so we need you to come in and support us, but we don't expect you to do it for nothing.
We have put together a phenomenal membership package for people that they get actual quantifiable things for joining up and supporting this, such as the behind-the-scenes stuff that we do in the editor's notes section, such as the exclusive podcast episodes that we have from Fleckers, from Steak for Breakfast, from myself.
We have a great long interview with Gavin Wax, formerly of the Babylon Bee, up from this weekend.
You get exclusive analysis.
The list goes on and I encourage people basically just to go to the website, go to thenationalpulse.com, forward slash war room, check it out.
And the first month is on me, okay?
Like, you can join for free today.
That's limited, by the way, because we've had thousands and thousands of people joining.
TheNationalPulse.com forward slash war room.
And I just have to say, if you're not doing this, if you're not supporting, you know, wider kind of MAGA media, putting your shoulder to the wheel on all of this stuff, then my question is this.
Do you even MAGA, bro?
Like that is the epitome of the least that people can do in this environment right now when we're being censored.
We're even being censored on Twitter nowadays, MAGA people.
So TheNationalPulse.com forward slash war room.
steve bannon
Rahim, great. Everybody go check out.
Look, he's going to give it for some folks today to sign up.
He'll give you 30 days to take a look at it.
Rahim, great job. Look forward to having Fleckus back hopefully on tomorrow.
Thanks. Thanks so much.
Rahim Kassam. Doing a great job over the polls.
Mike Davis, Mike, you've temporarily taken a break from trying to be, you're the one that's trying to negotiate a ceasefire on the flame war between DeSantis, the DeSantis militia and the Trump army.
So taken aside from that, tell me about all weekend on all the stories we cover, you can't hear that besides saying how great McCarthy is, the only thing they're focused on is Jack Smith.
And in Mar-a-Lago, you were the guy that came on here on the afternoon of 8 August on the show and said this all nonsense.
What about the conspiracy? You know, Jack Smith's got his grand jury coming back today.
They say, hey, this is where they're going to bring the charging document, all that.
Give us your assessment. In particular, they're trying to make a case now for conspiracy because they can't prove a crime.
mike davis
Is that it? Yes, I mean, look at what's going on here, Steve.
We have the FBI has been caught.
They have a document.
They've had this document for many years with evidence that then Vice President Joe Biden took a $5 million foreign bribe, it looks like from China, and changed American policy.
So you would think, okay, let's brace for an indictment.
Well, it looks like what the Biden Justice Department, what Attorney General Merrick Garland is going to do is the same thing they did with Crossfire Hurricane, where they deflect it from Hillary Clinton's own illegal home server when she was Secretary of State, hacked by foreign leaders, our most classified secrets hacked, and this server almost certainly Included evidence of the Clinton Foundation's illegal pay-for-play bribery scheme.
So what did they do? They cooked up the Russian collusion hoax and the crossfire hurricane investigation against Trump in 2016 and hobbled his presidency for three years.
That's what Garland is going to do now with Jackson.
unidentified
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
steve bannon
You've connected. Massively important dots here.
Thank you so much for sticking around because we're going to have you on earlier.
I want to take a short break. I've got to have Davis walk through this because this is monumental.
Also, I have Todd Benzman.
The invasion of the southern border continues unabated.
Now they've got a massive measle breakout in the police stations in Chicago because of it.
Okay, we are really jammed.
We got an all-star lineup.
I got so much to say. Mike Davis, you got to just real quickly hit it from the top.
People... This is why Chris Wray complied, and this is why we didn't chase the Chris Wray story last week.
I thought it was compelling enough he would comply.
Now correct me if I'm wrong, he's complied to turn over the whistleblower documents and everything related to the $5 million bribe that they say they can prove with an informant and a whistleblower, I don't know, coming out of Romania or through Romania or something, but there's a $5 million bribe paid to Joe Biden as VP, correct? And walk me through that part of the story because A guy like you doesn't get excited unless it's big, and you've told me, hey, focus on this thing.
This thing's real, sir.
mike davis
Yeah, so my former boss, Chuck Grassley, Senator Chuck Grassley, has teamed up with House Oversight Chairman James Comer, and they have this whistleblower that has come forward, a very credible whistleblower.
Grassley does not oversell.
He's the king of oversight.
He's been the king of oversight for decades.
I promise you he has evidence here, and that evidence According to this whistleblower is that when Joe Biden was the vice president of the United States, he took a $5 million foreign bribe.
I'm hearing China, but it could be somewhere else.
And this Joe Biden took this $5 million bribe and he changed American policy, right?
So that's pretty bad stuff.
If you have a president of the United States who is compromised By corrupt foreign payments, by foreign bribery, I don't know how he stays in office.
steve bannon
I'm not saying it's not CCP. I just think you're going to find it.
Somehow Romania has something to do with it, but that's a topic for a different day.
And so connect that to Jack Smith.
All of a sudden, it's all engines ahead flank on, I guess, a conspiracy charge out of Because you said from the beginning they got nothing there as far as original charge.
How does that connect with what's happening with Ray and this thing about Biden?
How does that connect to all sudden the turbocharged nature of Jack Smith?
mike davis
Well, it's the same play that the FBI did against Trump in 2016.
Again, Hillary got caught with her illegal home server hacked by foreign governments showing foreign bribery schemes with the Clinton Foundation.
She destroyed the server, obstruction of justice.
So what did the FBI do?
They concocted the Russian collusion hoax against Trump.
And they worked with President Obama, Vice President Biden, the Attorney General, the FBI Director James Comey, the CIA Director, and others to cook up this Russian collusion hoax during the 2016 campaign to deflect from Hillary's clear legal troubles.
And that turned into Crossfire Hurricane.
The Crossfire Hurricane investigation where they got an illegal home.
They got an illegal FISA warrant.
They lied to the FISA court.
They obstructed justice by perpetuating this hoax for several years.
steve bannon
Is your theory now that Jack Smith's got to come up with some conspiracy because there's no underlying crime here, sir?
mike davis
Obstruction. I think he's coming up with obstruction.
Remember Trump was allowed to take his presidential records when he left office.
That's allowed by the Presidential Records Act.
Clinton had eight years of highly classified audio recordings, 79 tapes in his sock drawer, and an Obama judge correctly held that presidents Make the sole determination whether to take their presidential records when they leave.
And the mere fact of taking them, it shows that they're personal and declassified.
Same with Trump. He's allowed to have his presidential records.
That's why Congress gives them federally funded office space, Secret Service protection, secure office space, security clearances for federally funded staff.
They're allowed to have their presidential records classified or not.
Trump declassified the crossfire hurricane records the day before he left office, and he had his copy.
And Biden didn't like that, because we saw with John Durham's special counsel report, these are very damning.
They show this worst conspiracy possible from the Oval Office and the FBI. to try to take out a presidential candidate in 2016 to deflect from the legal troubles of another.
So Trump had these records.
They were declassified via presidential memo.
His White House chief of staff, the day he left office on January 20th, 2021, said, do a privacy review and make these public.
Well, Biden came in and never made them public, and he actually had Garland go do this illegal home raid, went to a biased judge, Bruce Reinhart, who had just recused from Trump's civil lawsuit, clear bias, For his Facebook post, they did this unprecedented, unnecessary, unlawful home raid in August to go get back these crossfire hurricane records.
They're now going to likely indict Trump for obstruction, which is not even legally possible.
Trump was allowed to have his presidential record.
You can't obstruct investigations into non-crimes.
steve bannon
This is when Mike Davis is at his best.
And by the way, with Grassley, he got Gorsuch through, Kavanaugh through, the guy's a rock star.
Mike, and I really appreciate it.
Remember, Mike's a red-haired Irishman, so he was born fighting, right?
Right from his mom to the world to the fighting, because this brother's the fight club.
I really appreciate you, Mike, trying to be the peacemaker, Mike Davis, and trying to be a peacemaker between the flame war that is broken out between the DeSantis camp and the Trump camp.
We'll do that at another time.
How did they get to your site, and particularly your Twitter, which is even more fascinating than it normally is, Mike Davis?
mike davis
I would just say I'm fully supporting Trump.
He's going to win. Let's not destroy the Republican future over a presidential fight.
So it's article3project.org, article3project.org, at article3project, at article3project on Getter Twitter Truth.
And my personal is at MRDDMIA, MRDDMIA. This is why Mike Davis is such a special guy.
steve bannon
Most of the fighters and bomb throwers don't have the level of maturity and discernment to be able to step back and say, hey guys, let's keep our eye on the prize here.
Mike Davis, you're a national treasure.
unidentified
Thank you for being on here, sir. Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Another national treasurer is Todd Benzman.
Todd, you've got an amazing report up on The Post.
I've got to ask you also about this situation.
It looks like a measles breakout.
We don't have all the details.
I'm trying to get Liz Yor on this afternoon in Chicago.
But you have warned about this, sir.
Is the invasion on the southern border becoming less because the media is not covering it?
Or is it actually being exacerbated by this illegitimate regime in the White House?
todd bensman
Todd Benzman. I'm going with option two.
It's exacerbated by policy.
So, listen, the mass migration crisis at the border, they told you over and over and over again as we're leading up to the end of Title 42 that they've got a tough plan.
This thing is so tough.
That even the ACLU has sued them over it because it's so tough.
We're turning everybody back.
Everybody's ineligible for asylum.
We're going to do expedited removal under Title 8.
If you were worried about Title 42, don't worry.
This thing is really going to be tough.
It's going to fix all the holes.
All of that is just BS. None of that is happening.
I was down there.
The piece in the New York Post is based on my reporting from just last week.
Family units, it's bring a kid day.
If you bring a kid up to the border and cross illegally, you get in.
You're getting right in.
I looked at their papers.
I've interviewed five different families.
I shot video of them from my new drone just pouring over the border at Eagle Pass, being let right into the country, put on buses, just like always, just like always.
So point being is policy matters.
Policy matters. These immigrants are not stupid.
They have figured out what the loophole is, just like we said that they would, and they are pouring in over that border right now at the family units.
steve bannon
Family units. We're going to have more of Todd when we can break all this down.
He's got time. Todd, you're giving a talk today, and I want to give a shout-out to the group, the big MAGA audience, big War Room audience that had you in Newport Beach, I think it was, and then today in Palm Springs.
Why does Todd Bannon... Bannon is in the frickin' War Room working, and I got Bensman going around taking a victory.
There's something wrong here in the universe.
I want you here and me out there with the ladies at these Republican clubs.
We love you. We love Palm Springs.
We love the Newport Beach and the Bay Area club down there.
Where did you speak last week and were you speaking today?
todd bensman
Yeah, Newport Beach. I mean, these are women's Republican clubs, big, gigantic, forceful Republican groups in the middle of a sea of blue out here in California.
Big MAGA groups, big War Room Posse fans and fanatics.
So they are out here doing good work and bringing the issues to their membership.
So I'm out here in Palm Springs to the big group here.
steve bannon
You tell them from us that we love them and we wish we were there, but we're working and Todd Benson is going around, you know, doing the party circuit.
But we admire you for it, Todd.
You're still the best on the border invasion.
And thank you for being out there in California and at these Republican women's clubs because these women make it happen.
Let's be blunt in this movement.
Women are the driving forces of this.
100 % they do. It's like in American history.
It's been the moms and the women.
It's been on their shoulders since time immemorial.
The Promised Land, remember?
That's the New Jerusalem. Todd Benson, real quickly.
Your reporting is amazing.
You're up on the Post all the time now.
Daily Mail, all of it.
Where do people go to get the real stuff?
todd bensman
That's right. Well, this piece is just published in the New York Post all about how the family rushes on again.
And also, you can find my book, Overrun, anywhere books are sold.
Overrun How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History.
And I think the world history actually now, if I had a chance to go back and change that subhead, I would.
It's world history. Yeah.
steve bannon
Big time. Big time. Modern world history.
Benzman, thank you. Look forward to having a great speech out there today in Palm Springs at the Republican Women's Club.
Tell them we all love them. I'll pass the word.
Let's stay in California.
Let's stay in California. John Yep.
John, tell me about you've got this march.
They're taking the illegal alien families and giving them priorities here in the United States.
Maybe I'll get to Yep after the break.
John Yep is leading a march.
They're trying to destroy families in Southern California.
And how are they doing it? They're trying to do it through the great American tradition and pastime of baseball.
Walter O'Malley's A super devout Catholic, Walter O'Malley's beloved Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers.
It's almost hard to say this.
Supporting a variantly anti-Catholic group.
And John Yep and some traditional Catholics are saying, not so fast.
unidentified
Next in the war room. We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCP!
The host, Stephen K. Babb.
steve bannon
Uh, I'm gonna bring in John. Yeah.
John, walk me through.
You are pulling together traditional Catholics and evangelicals to throw down hard against what the Dodgers are doing.
Walk us through. What's the problem?
What's the issue? And what are you guys doing about it?
unidentified
Sisters are a perpetual indulgence.
They're a non-profit based in San Francisco.
They've been around for a while, but ultimately they do many anti-specifically Catholic stuff.
Their shows are sexually explicit.
They mock our Lord, the Blessed Mother, and A co-host of other Heavenly Hosts.
They have been invited by the L.A. Dodgers.
They were invited back in May.
We all jumped.
We as other groups, not just Catholics for Catholics, which I represent, Catholic Vote, Church Militant Lifestyle, we pushed back.
They rescinded the invitation, and then the left, second left, went ballistic and basically got them reinstated.
So they are on schedule June 16th, which...
Coincidentally, June 16th is the Feast of the Sacred Heart, a very special day for Catholics.
They will be in L.A. Dodger Stadium doing their blasphemous show, which is insulting the biggest voter block in the United States, the Catholics.
23 % of this nation is Catholic.
So what have we done?
Many groups have come to go.
That's the bad news. The good news is that we have seen an unprecedented amount.
It's kind of like the Catholic Bud Light moment, if you will, where groups, not just Catholic, Protestants, even a prominent Jewish rabbi has spoken up in a big way to push back and say, this is not okay.
So it's been a real show of unity, Steve.
And breaking over the weekend, we can say that we have Bishop Joseph Strickland who has decided to come, and that's It's uber significant to have just a high-level church leader come out and be on the streets there.
So we're going to be there to prayerful procession, meet at the Los Angeles Cathedral at 430 on June 16th, and then march to LA Dodger Stadium.
And there have some speakers, et cetera, set up.
We have hundreds of people interested.
steve bannon
No, no, no. We'll get a crowd.
Are you telling me they're actually, that group is going to perform this anti-cat?
They're actually going to perform at Dodger Stadium?
unidentified
They're being honored by the Dodgers?
In front of whatever, 60,000 fans.
I mean, can you believe this? This is, it goes against such an American principle.
steve bannon
Yeah. All of Dodger management should be fired and terminated for this.
This is outrageous. This is outrageous.
You're going to boycott the Dodgers big league.
This is outrageous. This is so in your face, taking the great tradition of taking the kids out to a baseball game, particularly Dodger Stadium, Chavez Ravine, which is just fantastic.
Dodger Stadium out there. John, we're going to have you back on right now.
I need everybody to go and find out about this march and whether they want to participate in this prayerful procession.
unidentified
Where do they go? C, the letter C, F-O-R-C dot com.
And you can also help us by our billboard campaign.
We have images of the Sacred Heart of Jesus all over L.A. running currently right now in that city to remind people the reason for the season.
steve bannon
Brother, thank you very much.
Yep. We're going to spend a lot of time on this.
We'll make sure it's a lot more than hundreds.
It's going to be thousands or hopefully tens of thousands.
Absolutely. Thank you, brother. Thanks, Steve.
John, yep. By the way, also make sure you make contact, 202-225-3121.
Congressman Andy Clyde, put your shoulder to the wheel.
Support. We've got to bring up the gun brace legislation immediately.
McCarthy and these traitors, the collaborationists, cannot jeopardize three million Americans.
They could be picked up by the ATF by felons.
This has got to be stopped.
They did this because they didn't like the fact that patriots tried to stop them on selling out the country on this debt ceiling, which is a total nothing.
They did nothing except give Biden unlimited amount of money.
Let me go. I got I got to do the Nikki Haley thing from last night on artificial intelligence.
Let's play and bring in Joe Allen.

I want you to meet Jody Jacklin.
She's a retired account credit manager from Johnston.
She's a member of Capital Region Republican Women.
Jody. My question is, how do we manage the growing age of artificial intelligence?
nikki haley
Artificial intelligence is happening whether we like it or not.
So I think the first thing is you have to acknowledge this is real.
And it can be a source for good, right?
This is something that's going to move us over to the next level when it comes to all types of things.
What we need to do is not heavily regulate it.
But we need to have guardrails, right?
And so if you look, the Europeans are already on to it, the Chinese are already on to it.
What we don't want is for them to leave us.
And so Biden has been very, he's been slow on wanting to do anything about it, but that's the wrong way to look at it.
We should be bringing in the private sector to tell us exactly what we need to watch out for with AI, how we can best use AI, and just establish basic guardrails.
And then let the private sector work, because there's a lot of good innovation that's going to come from this.
Whether it's from healthcare, whether it's from tech, whether it's from all kinds of creativity that we can have, we don't want to suppress it.
We just want to make sure that we're making sure it doesn't become dangerous.

Did you see the ad that Donald Trump Jr.
joe allen
tweeted out? It was a scene from The Office.
unidentified
They had deepfaked Ron DeSantis' face and voice.
Oh my god, that's a woman's suit.
You're wearing a woman's suit?
No, I wear men's suits, okay?
I got this out of a bin. There were these huge bins of clothes, and everybody was rightfully through them like crazy, and I grabbed one.
And it fit. So I don't think that this is totally just a woman's suit.
At the very least, it's bisexual.
And it was funny, it was obviously a spoof, but I wondered, boy, where could this go?
And I'm wondering how much that might worry you personally.
nikki haley
Politically, a lot. Because, you know, I mean, look, politics is a blood sport.
And I come from South Carolina, so I know how dirty it can get.
So when you look at that, you do worry that is there an image that's really not you that they go and put out there.
But, you know, I don't think that means you just stop all AI in the process.
That's kind of, but the guardrails are what we should figure out to keep those things from happening.
But, you know, it is what it is.
Once you open that door, you can't close it.
We saw it with social media.
We're going to see it with AI as well.
unidentified
What did you mean when you said you'd had ChatGPT used on you?
nikki haley
What does that mean? Someone read an intro of me, and they had used ChatGPT to get it.
Oh. And they asked me how accurate it was.
joe allen
And what was it, like 50-50?
nikki haley
It was pretty accurate, actually.
unidentified
It was pretty accurate, yeah. Okay.
steve bannon
Okay, Joe Allen, you're back from your special project.
Right there, she's a corporatist.
Everything she does, she rolls over to the corporations, but she's on DeSantis for fighting Disney.
What's your take on this?
Because people have to understand this is going to be the party line for the surrender monkey, the corporatist, the not-want-to-take-on-the-tech oligarchs, controlled opposition Republican Party.
What say you, Joe Allen?
joe allen
Well, Steve, I see the coming of another instance of regulatory capture.
We saw all of the congressional hearings soon after the congressional hearings where Sam Altman was really the centerpiece.
You saw a statement published.
It was a single sentence published and signed by the guys at Google and the guys at OpenAI and Anthropic.
And the statement said that AI poses an existential risk to humanity, and the reason was to garner the interest of Congress.
And what I see happening going forward is that companies who are creating the problem, such as Google or OpenAI with their backers at Microsoft, They are going to partner with our legislature.
In the end, I think it will end up very much like what we saw with the pharmaceutical industry or something like Monsanto, where you have a revolving door of industry insiders who are actually crafting the legislation that's supposed to protect people from the dangers that those industries are creating.
You saw it with Purdue Pharma, for instance.
Dr. Wright, who came from the FDA, he was the reviewer on OxyContin.
And he immediately went over to Purdue Pharma to do risk assessment on OxyContin.
And he, in the early 2000s, insisted that this opioid was not addictive.
And I think that that sort of thing is just going to keep playing forward with big tech to the extent that they get the assent of Congress.
The reason that our legislators are there is not to protect the corporations, obviously.
It shouldn't even need to be stated.
Their reason for being there is to do the will of the people.
And I would hazard to guess most of our listeners are not on board with the projects going on at Google and OpenAI to create a superhuman artificial general intelligence, which both of them openly declare that's their end goal.
And just on the bracket that...
If you bracket that existential risk and look at the idea of deepfakes being the most immediate danger, what you're going to end up with is companies like Google who are going to be responsible for identifying so-called disinformation.
And we saw what happened during the pandemic.
Anything that was outside of what Anthony Fauci was saying or the NIH, Or the CDC? And then, of course, the decision of the FDA to put out these vaccines without sufficient protections or safety measures.
What happened?
Google just completely wiped out any criticism On YouTube, or they deranked it on their search engine, or they labeled it as disinformation.
These are not the people to trust with the public consciousness and the integrity of what's happening on social media or media in general.
steve bannon
Give me a minute.
We only got a minute left. Give me a minute.
Was Nikki Haley, her naivete was kind of stunning, was it not, sir?
joe allen
Yes, I think that what you saw there, she's a good politician obviously, she said a lot and said nothing, but she really, that statement about we need to let the private industry do its thing,
I don't think we're in a place right now where the private industry, especially the leaders in artificial intelligence, can be trusted to just simply do their thing while Congress puts up these weak guardrails that are supposed to protect the public from the onslaught of not only the disinformation, but also just the chatbots themselves in education and in the corporate sector or the media sector.
We really are on the cusp Of this sort of Philip K. Dick unreality.
And these people cannot be the stewards of what is and is not the truth.
steve bannon
Amen. Joe, how do people get to you?
You're back in harness.
We've got a lot of big announcements about you.
How do people get to you, follow your content?
joe allen
You can find me at joebot.xyz.
You can find me at warroom.org under the transhumanism tab and social media at J-O-E-B-O-T-X-Y-Z. Joe, welcome back.
steve bannon
Thank you. Hard at work.
I got Steve Stern. Steve, we're trying to get people on the forecast out.
14 June is your Flag Day commemoration slash celebration.
Tell people about it. Where do they go?
How do they become part of this?
steve stern
Patriotize.com.
If you go there, you can link up, you can hook up, or...
If you can't go there, give me a call.
We'll put you on the link. This is on the 14th of June, Flag Day.
We have 60 of the top speakers going to be on.
We got General Flynn, General Bowerly, General Bulldog.
General Orbach, we have you speaking, Lindell, Channel Rio from One American News, Tom Holman, John Solomon, Clay Clark, Wayne Root, Peter Navarro, John Fredericks, Dr.
Gina, Steve Gruber, Dr.
Diamond, Cleta Mitchell, on and on and on.
And why is this flag day so important?
It provides an opportunity for Americans to come together and express their pride and appreciation for the country.
And it's enduring symbols, including the flag.
It serves a reminder of the values and ideals that the flag represents, such as freedom, democracy and unity.
So we need to get everybody together.
And why did this happen? Well, a guy named Sky Dembski in 2002 rolled out one of the largest flags.
He got upset that China had the largest American flag.
So he made the largest American flag, took him three months.
He passed away.
He left it to his friend, Commander James Alexander.
He passed away and gave it to Patricia Alexander, his wife.
And about three years ago, they rolled out the largest American flag with Sharon McCoy, Dane, and John Censor.
steve bannon
Go ahead, guys. Steve, hang on for one second.
We're going to keep you through the break.
Short commercial break.
It's the 11th anniversary of Turning Point USA, and they've had a big impact.

Steve Stern, always the hardest-working man at 82 years old.
A young 82, I might add.
The most ambitious guy I know and works crazy all day long for the precinct training, getting people engaged.
Steve Stern, thank you for doing this, and thank you for doing this commemoration on Flag Day on 14 June.
We're going to have everybody there.
Thanks, brother. New York Times, we started the show early on about not just Saudi Arabia and what's happening there with their vote no on this massive spending package that the Republican collaboration has basically worked up and worked with Biden.
Then we had Rahim on the...
You remember, we were mocked a couple of years ago.
We said, hey, these Ukrainian troops got a bunch of Nazi symbolism on their uniforms.
What does that mean?
Are these guys neo-Nazis?
Of course, we were mocked and ridiculed.
New York Times said that's correct.
Now, over the weekend, Nate Cohen's come out and talked about Tyler Boyer from Turning Point, your 11th anniversary this morning.
Nate Cohen is doing a statistical analysis, polling analysis.
He says that the youth, everybody's moving to the right.
I would say if that's happening, it's because of one of the big elements is you and Charlie Kirk in Turning Point USA. What say you, sir?
unidentified
Well, Steve, yeah, it's not a shocking turn of events from the New York Times.
They've, in the last few years, have We put out a couple of different things talking about the effectiveness of Turning Point, our entire ecosystem, both at Turning Point USA, which is our 501c3 side, and now Turning Point Action, which is on our C4 side.
We're going out, pounding the precincts, and recruiting new lifeblood into the Republican Party.
So this Nate Cohn story has been very interesting because it's what we've been shouting.
Because everybody in 2020 said, oh, look at the youth vote.
The youth vote was dramatically worse for the Democrats than it ever has before.
And as it's highlighted and Cohn is telling the entire world, It's less than half of what it was for Obama in 2008.
And so what we're seeing is these millennial voters who came out at a 66 % shtick for Obama in 2008 are now way down to only a 12-point margin between Biden and Trump in 2020.
And so 2024 could be a bloodbath for young voters with the left.
Especially if we get our act together and start chasing them down the way that we need to.
steve bannon
You need to do this program that you and Charlie are working up to chase down the ballots.
Also, we need to drill home how they're nothing but Russian serfs.
I think 52 % of folks are saying that they can't sleep at night because of the financial situation.
You guys are doing this through conferences, networking.
You've got a women's conference that I know Captain Bannon and And Natalie is going to speak at, and I think Jane Zirko and Grace are going to be there.
I'm going to speak at the other conference you have in July.
Give me a minute on how you guys actually are making this happen.
How are you making that connection?
Because all the media says, all the young people hate MAGA, they hate what Trump stands for, they hate America first, all that.
How are you guys actually doing it that you see the results in the New York Times of polling and statistical analysis, sir?
unidentified
Well, you know what? It's funny today.
I was actually talking to one of our advisors, and we were going through numbers.
And the difference, the key difference maker, this is what we learned from the left's movement over 10 years ago, which was that face-to-face, interpersonal, relationship-driven interactions are what matters.
And so you've just got to find a way to get in front of people, talk to people where they are, and then build things that are cool.
And one of the things that we've done at Turning Point is we've built cool conferences.
We do Conferences at the size of what a pop concert would look like.
And so that naturally brings in talent and individuals that have never engaged the conservative movement before.
And then from there, we plug them into activism.
So we do training, and then we have an entire infrastructure, both on our C3 side and our C4 side, to go, hey, we want you involved, and this is how you can get involved in many different ways.
And you brought up here for us...
Most important about that is we want them out in the community doing the work the left has been doing longer than us.
steve bannon
How do people get there?
Because I know you and Charlie come with this whole action plan about getting this ballot situation taken care of.
We've got to get on it now, now, now, now.
And I know you guys are working on a big plan.
Where do people go to find out more about Turning Point?
unidentified
Just go straight to tpaction.com and you can find it's really easy through each We have a pop-up right in the front talking about our scorecard, which is the update, here and later in summer after our ATCON conference, which you can go to tpaction.com slash ATCON. And we're going to be announcing quite a bit there about how to get involved with the ballot chase and becoming a part of the army that's going to win next year for us.
steve bannon
The army that's going to win.
Tyler, what's your social media?
unidentified
You can just find me, just write in my name, at Tyler Boyer, right on Twitter.
