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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
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.
This is a story of a man who was a soldier in the U.S. Army.
He was a soldier in the U.S. Army.
Thank you very much. How are you, my friend?
Are you okay? I'm good.
Are you okay? With you.
Where is he on?
Are you ready?
Are you ready? Food for everyone!
Well, excuse my ignorance that I did not, but let's listen in to that.
steve bannon
It's Tuesday, 13 June, the year of our Lord 2023.
I don't know if this day will live in infamy.
I don't think it was... This was all a sideshow as they try to persecute, not prosecute, President Trump.
We've got Ben Burquam.
We have Natalie Winters, Captain Bannon, all on the scene.
That last video for our podcast and radio audience that could not see it, the president was at Versailles, a historic establishment, I think in Little Havana.
We went there in 2016.
President Trump's doing more and more of these kind of drive-bys.
Where he just jumps out and shakes some hands and they're not announced in advance.
Normally at a food place he can, you know, interact with the patrons and there's always some great, I mean, I think it's where President Trump is best, even better than a stage at a rally.
I think this is where you see the real, the man and the connection he has with MAGA and the connection he has with average Americans.
It's quite powerful. That was the highlight today.
Natalie Winters, tell us.
You're on the scene.
It looked a little crazy down there.
I know it started with bomb threats and bombs and all that, but tell us what happened this afternoon, ma'am.
natalie winters
A little crazy, and as much as I want to give you a play-by-play of what went down, I'm sure people have been able to see that on social media.
I think you're very correct that what actually went on inside of that courthouse really was a sideshow.
The one interesting detail, and speaking to my source who was inside the courtroom, They said that a lot of the mainstream media talking heads and journalists who were in there sort of had a laughing tone, weren't really taking it seriously, were sort of mocking the president, which is just, of course, to be expected.
But what I really want to highlight and what I think the important part is, and sort of what we got cut off talking about earlier today, is actually how well-informed and knowledgeable the Trump protesters who are out here today are.
I'm sure they'll be mocked and ridiculed all night long on these mainstream media networks that were Standing right next to.
But if you talk to these people, which I was lucky and was fortunate enough to be able to, they know so well what is going on, whether it's the 1023 situation, the pay for play scheme, what's going on in Ukraine, the Hunter Biden hard drive, really how corruption works in the United States when it comes to the Biden family.
And I think that is what we need to be focusing on.
Like I said earlier today, I think we got cut off before the bomb scare.
I'm so glad that we have recordings now, or at least allegedly, according to Senator Chuck Grassley, of the Biden family, including Joe Biden, talking to people from Burisma.
But I don't know about you, Steve.
I remember it was two or three years ago when myself and Raheem Kassam unearthed audio files of Hunter Biden bragging about being in business with the effing spy chief of China.
So whether it's audio files, emails, LLC records, bank transfers, The evidence has been there for a very long time, and I think to me the most moving part of today, of course, in addition to the perseverance and fortitude of Donald Trump, really is the intelligence and just attitude of the Trump base, which has shown up here and still continues to show up even as we're pressing on into the 5 p.m.
steve bannon
hour. Natalie, it may not surprise you to know we've been monitoring and curating the TV all day.
The folks you just talked about are mocked by the mainstream media with smirks and laughs, just like you described the mainstream media in the courtroom mocking and smirking about President Trump.
What does that tell us?
What does it tell you about where we are right now and the signal in this country, the importance of what's really going on?
natalie winters
What does that tell you? It shows you why we need Donald Trump.
It shows you in pure form why it is and always has been the elites versus everyone else.
Donald Trump has always positioned himself as the billionaire at the barricades when he gave his wonderful speech on Inauguration Day.
He was talking to the American people, sure, but he was primarily talking to the corrupt system and city that is Washington, D.C. And I think it really is just affirmation that this worldview that we have, of course, here at War Room, but it is that we are correct.
And like I said, the mainstream media, it really is fun to watch them try to reconcile with all the protesters who have been out here, right?
They just can't put their finger on it, why these people show up.
They think Donald Trump is an aberration, but he's not.
He's just the first candidate who is not beholden to the donor class who has not controlled opposition, who can actually speak to the American people, speak to the populist sentiment, the populist planks of a policy platform that the American people have supported since time immemorial.
They just have never had a candidate who actually speaks for them.
And I think that's why you see these people driving.
Like I said, I met a guy who drove 12 hours just to be here.
He had a huge war room posse t-shirt on.
You know, that's the backbone of this country.
Those are the people who've been screwed over routinely.
But today...
Paradoxically, I think there is a sense of victory, and I mean that wholeheartedly, because it shows you that our worldview is right, and whether we have phone recordings, whistleblower tapes, whistleblowers, emails, bank transactions, we always know that we've been right for a really long time, but I think it's nice to see the evidence, at least from a more establishment-approved perspective, actually starting to catch up with the reality we've known for a really long time.
steve bannon
Okay, Natalie, you and Mo hang right there.
Let me go to Ben Burquam for a moment.
Ben, you've been out in the crowd.
We understand there's a lot of War Room Posse members that have been there today.
Get us up to date. What do we know?
ben bergquam
Well, speaking of that, I got my brother here.
Tell me your name again, man. Dave Zalewski.
Dave, originally Democrat from Chicago.
Absolutely. Out here, MAGA posse.
Now you're MAGA posse.
unidentified
Million percent MAGA posse.
War room posse all day. Grew up in Chicago, a Chicago Democrat.
And in time, as the 90s passed, the party changed.
And the old cliché, which is true though, the party left me.
I didn't leave the party. And then now, now I'm like, I don't even recognize the party.
You know, and I try to tell people that, listen, My mom and old relatives, it's not the same party.
It's changed. You gotta catch up.
ben bergquam
What do you make of today?
unidentified
Well, today, the event today was great to see all the support.
And there was a little bit of Antifa action, but not really.
This is Miami. This is Trump country.
But it was a love fest, as they say.
A little bit somber, but more excited because Trump's our guy.
He's a fighter. We're here fighting for him.
And the old saying, fight for Trump.
Trump's a fighter. We know he's not going to give up.
And that empowers us. That empowers the war room posse.
That empowers America. And I told some people from foreign countries that, listen, we need a strong leader.
A strong leader brings a strong America.
A strong America brings a united, peaceful world.
We don't have a leader right now.
Look, the world's in chaos. I couldn't say it any better, Steve.
steve bannon
Ben, let me ask a question.
Natalie just talked about how informed the audience out there is, the crowd out there for President Trump, how informed the Warren Posse is.
Sir, do you find the same thing?
Do you find that your colleagues and your comrades down there are actually more up to speed than people that watch the mainstream media?
unidentified
100%. We're pretty much, everyone's pretty much on board, keeping up with the knowledge.
And again, we always say do your research.
More and more people are doing the research.
The problem I find is that the left, they know 5%.
They know the talking points, and it's all they throw at us is talking points.
When we can actually debate a whole conversation about details and get in the guts deep down, they don't know anything.
And then if they don't know it, they call us a racist and run away.
But yeah, to answer your point is...
With the help of Bannon in a war room and Ben, you guys are educating us and we're taking that fight on the road and we're teaching people.
We're educating one by one. I love it.
steve bannon
Let me ask you one thing.
Natalie has said she's got sources inside that said a lot of the mainstream media reporters and people that were in there were smirking at President Trump, mocking him and laughing at him.
How does that set with you, sir?
unidentified
It disgusts me. You know, it disgusts me.
And because I think the big thing today, there's always been a left and right.
There's always been Democrat or Republican.
But I tell people, but it's never been that.
You're the other side. I want to kill you.
And it's the media perpetuating that.
And how do they do that? They mock and make fun of a guy that's given his whole life.
He doesn't. Trump doesn't need to do this.
Like he says, he had a good life.
He's a billionaire. He doesn't need to go through the abuse he's going through.
And they still continue to mock him.
And quite frankly, like I said, as an American, as a patriot, it pisses me off that they just so casually, you know, do this and mock him and laugh and kind of point the finger at us like you guys are idiots.
No, we're the educated ones.
We're the ones who can defend our point and our position.
So, yeah, it really irritates me.
But again, we're a happy, peaceful, you know, posse.
steve bannon
The president's going to address the nation tonight at 8.15 from Bedminster.
If you were on the plane back with him right now, what would you tell the president?
What would be your two or three points that you think the president should address tonight?
unidentified
I would tell him, obviously, stay strong, but that doesn't need to be said.
He's a fighter. He's not going to give up.
And I would just, you know...
Basically, probably one thing I would say, because the guy's a genius, but one thing I would say is that there's so many people behind you.
I know he knows that, but I don't know if he really grasps how many Americans really love the guy, but there's a lot of middle-of-the-road people that are starting to turn the corner.
And I think what he needs to do is tap into a little bit more of that.
The people that are kind of like, well, you know, I'm not sure.
Find a way to tap into those people and, you know, find that common ground, which he's good at.
But again, the media tries to take that away.
But he's good at finding, you know, like we say, left, right and independence.
We need independence to win.
Just again, focus on the independence.
But to me, it's a disparity between Two systems of justice.
They can both do the same thing.
Trump gets in trouble, Biden gets a pass.
You can't run a country that way.
You can't run a business that way. You can't run a block club that way.
You can't run a lemonade stand that way.
Where one person gets the money, one person doesn't.
But anyway, yeah. Appreciate you, Ben.
steve bannon
It's fantastic. I tell you, really appreciate it.
Ben, hang on for one second.
Stay right there. We've got Senator J.D. Vance.
Senator Vance, I want to get to this tape you made this morning.
I'll do it after the break. Give me your assessment of what you saw today and how does it set with you, sir?
jd vance
Well, look, obviously the people of South Florida, they love President Trump and there was a great outpouring of support there.
But the fundamental issues here, Steve, is that we have a corrupted justice system.
I don't think that we should grant the premise here that Donald Trump did something wrong and Joe Biden did something wrong and Hillary Clinton did something wrong, but they're only going after Trump.
Well, that is certainly true that they're only going after Trump.
But the difference here is that Trump was the President of the United States.
He has Article II authority to declassify whichever documents they want.
And if they want to attack him for it, they can attack him at the ballot box, encourage people to vote against him, but you cannot throw the President of the United States in prison for declassifying the documents of his own administration.
It's crazy.
The fundamental premise of this case is that the president is a functionary of his own government, that the deep state controls our administration.
We cannot accept it.
steve bannon
J.D., if you can just hang on.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We have Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio.
Senator, you made a very important video.
We're going to play when we get back.
J.D. Vance says it's time to stop talking and take action.
He's got an action plan.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We have Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, a strong supporter of President Trump.
We have Natalie Winters in Miami.
Captain Bannon's down there in Miami.
Ben Burquam's in Miami.
May get a little Carrie Lake in here.
All of it. Short commercial break.
Back with Senator Vance in just a moment.
unidentified
We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCP. Steps to the US Capitol.
jd vance
And I've heard from a lot of people that they're so frustrated as I am with the fact that Merrick Garland has used the Department of Justice for politics instead of law.
And I think it's a sign we stop just whining about this problem and debating this problem and actually do something about it.
So I've announced today that I will be holding all Department of Justice nominees that Merrick Garland will use if confirmed, not to enforce the law impartially, which is his duty, but clearly to harass his political opponents.
I think that we have to grind this department to a halt.
until Merrick Garland promises to do his job and stop going after his political opponents.
Donald Trump is just one and the most recent example of the fact that Merrick Garland uses his department for political purposes.
We have Catholic Thanks, guys.
steve bannon
Okay, Senator Vance joins us live.
Senator Vance, Kane over at Citizens Free Press.
Put this up as soon as you did it.
It's gone mega viral.
People on the left's heads are blowing up.
Because this is real action.
Walk us through specifically what you intend to do.
jd vance
Here's the basic idea, Steve.
So much of the Department of Justice is political appointees that Merrick Garland is effectively using as foot soldiers for this political hatchet job that he now calls the Department of Justice.
While most of these guys sail through the Senate, they're never even up for a vote.
They pass through a procedural thing called unanimous consent.
And I'm basically throwing a wrench into that procedural system.
I'm saying that if Merrick Garland wants to use these guys to go after his political opponents, we're going to gum up the works as much as possible and make it as hard as we can to get these guys through.
Now they're still going to get some of these guys through.
The Democrats are going to have to bring some of them up for a vote.
But if we just slow it down, we'll actually limit the number of people and reduce the size of this administrative bureaucracy that he's using, not for justice, again, not for law, not for criminal enforcement, but to go after his political opponents.
The fundamental principle here, Steve, is so important.
And look, I know the War Room audience is largely with Donald Trump, but I would make this argument to even the people who don't like Donald Trump.
Article 2 says the executive power vests in a president of the United States, not in a deep state, Not in a permanent bureaucracy.
If Trump can't determine what he does with his own government's documents, the Constitution is meaningless and we do not have real representative constitutional republic in this country.
What if those documents are about the deep state trying to force a war on the elected president?
What if they're about the Russia collusion hoax?
They document the way in which the Russia collusion hoax went to war against the people's elected president.
There are a lot of reasons why we want those documents to be controlled by the people's elected president, and Merrick Garland is going to war with that principle.
By the way, he's going to war with a lot of other political opponents too, which is why we need to have real action against this administration.
steve bannon
I realize you've got to go.
One last question. Yesterday we saw Grassley, Senator Grassley, talk about the 1023s and the whistleblowers and audio tapes.
That's gone viral. Today you throw down and say, hey, it's not going around me.
We're going to sort this thing out.
We understand the Senate.
You guys are in the minority.
What else can the Senate do that you see that the Senate can do to get to the bottom of this?
Because this is an administrative state and deep state that's out of control.
Grassley's picked it up from the suppression of evidence and investigation.
You've picked it up from the fact that, hey, we're just not going to sit there and let this guy roll hard on us.
What else do you think the Senate can do, sir?
jd vance
Well, a couple of things here, Steve.
So number one is we can actually prevent the funding that goes to the Department of Justice.
We still have the power of the purse, and yes, The Senate Republicans are in the minority, but we've got a pretty narrow minority, which means a lot of moderate Democrats, people like Joe Manchin, are going to be willing to join us from time to time.
We ought to use that power and use that leverage to actually deny Merrick Garland some of the resources he's using to attack conservatives.
And people all across the country.
What Chuck Grassley is doing is really important, Steve, because really, if you go back to the origins of this Hunter Biden Burisma scandal, Joe Biden said repeatedly that he never had conversations with his son about those business dealings.
We know now, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that is a bald-faced lie.
So we, of course, don't know what's in those tapes.
We don't know if we'll ever hear those tapes, but we're already learning and getting closer to discovering that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are fundamentally corrupt individuals.
I don't for a second believe that Joe Biden didn't know what was going on, but we know for a fact that his son was engaged in the highest form of corruption.
Selling America's national security for money can't be allowed to stand.
So there's a lot that we can do.
We can't do everything. We can't throw Merrick Garland out of his office.
Only Joe Biden can do that.
But we can do a lot, Steve.
We're going to try to start actually getting some action, not just whining.
steve bannon
Senator Vance, how can people follow you, sir?
jd vance
Yeah, I'm on all the social media channels, JDVance1 on Twitter, Facebook, Truth, all the social media channels.
They can also go to our Senate website, sign up at jdvance.com for our listserv.
We're trying to do as much as we can, Steve.
It's time for us to stop complaining.
And using the power that the American people gave us.
The American people don't expect us to do everything.
They recognize that we have divided government and Joe Biden is the president, but I think they do expect us to do what we can and take some action.
That's all I'm trying to do, and I encourage my fellow Republicans to join me.
steve bannon
Senator Vance, thank you for joining us.
I know the audience loves us, so thank you very much.
Honored to have you on here. God bless you, Steve.
unidentified
Thanks. Thank you.
steve bannon
Senator J.D. Vance, action, action, action.
Let's go back to Miami. Do I have Mo?
Captain Bannon, give me your assessment today.
MAGA turned out, the war room posse turned out in big volume.
unidentified
What's your assessment? You are correct.
maureen bannon
The MAGA movement turned out today, the war room posse.
The supporters of Donald Trump came in.
They were not going to let the bomb threat this morning keep them away.
The crowd size grew and grew.
Now, really, media is the only ones left on this side of the courthouse.
However, MAGA came in strong today.
They support President Trump 100%, and they're going to keep supporting him.
steve bannon
Fantastic. Hang for a second.
Hey, Natalie, you just heard J.D. Vance there saying we're going to take some action here.
What he's going to do is basically hold up all these political appointees that have to be confirmed by the Senate until he starts getting some answers.
You heard Grassley. Grassley's going to—and we hear Grassley's got more information coming up at the 1023s.
What is your sense down there of the War and Posse audience about the appetite for action more than just talk, ma'am?
natalie winters
Oh my goodness, that's quite a loaded question, and I just have to add on to what Mo was saying.
It is interesting. I did not see a single protester or supporter here in support of any other presidential candidate with the exception of Donald Trump.
I only saw DeSantis mentioned by one protester on one side, and it said DeSantis has controlled opposition.
So I think that tells you a little bit about the Republican primary field, but in terms of the war...
The war room posse in the audience wanting action, action, action.
That's the primary question that I hear, right?
When is action, when is accountability actually going to come?
And speaking with DOJ, again, just the level of intimate knowledge and understanding, whether it's using Schedule F to go after the deep state, different hiring and firing practices that will be used as a harsh cudgel by the Trump administration against this permanent bureaucratic state.
It's just off the charts when it comes to talking to these people, and I have to recommend for J.D. Vance, I know we're going to start blocking new DOJ appointees, but while we're at it, hey, I'm all for looking back into the past, too, and I think we should start by looking into Pamela Carlin and make sure that she has no more authority, whether it's... trying to intimidate people conducting election audits.
Remember, she was one of the very infamous impeachment witnesses.
I think we need to show that there is a ramification if you do the deep state's bidding and try to go up against populist candidates like Donald Trump.
And I think people like Jack Smith and all of these so-called lawyers, people who love to lean into their Legal credentials and, you know, people used to work at The Hague who should be prosecuting genocidal dictators, not the only guy who ever failed to start a new endless forever foreign war.
But leaving that hypocrisy aside for a second, I think we need to make examples out of these people because they are doing the bidding of the administrative state.
They are the deep state incarnate.
steve bannon
Let's go back to the example you used.
I think this is very illustrative for the audience.
Correct me if I'm wrong. She was one of the major witnesses as an expert witness in the first impeachment.
Wasn't she also the one who signed the letter that went to Arizona when they started doing the audit and she sent that letter about the canvassing, said if you canvass, you could be breaking criminal law.
Wasn't she involved in that also?
natalie winters
Exactly. I think people don't understand the entire Biden regime has been staffed, not just by people who are compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, but people who have helped the Biden criminal family enterprise really expand its reach across the globe.
Look no further than a story we just broke at War Room.
Jeffrey Pyatt, who was the ambassador to Ukraine while Hunter Biden was serving on the board of Burisma.
And believe it or not, this individual used his position as the Ukrainian ambassador to make public statements telling people that Viktor Shokin was not doing a good job.
That's of course the Ukrainian prosecutor general that Joe Biden was bragging about wanting to get fired.
And do you know what his role is in the Biden regime currently?
Well, read the articles about him.
He's just been confirmed as Joe Biden's point man on energy security.
Within the State Department.
So part of the Biden regime is obviously compromised from the foreign perspective when it comes to the Chinese Communist Party and that cash flow.
But it's also on a personal level.
And by the way, just to add real quick, it shouldn't be lost on anyone.
They want to say Donald Trump is guilty of espionage, specifically like nuclear secrets, right?
That's the talking point that I've had to listen to all day from MSNBC standing here.
Remember, it was Bill Burns, who was Joe Biden's CIA director, who not only was taking money from the Chinese Communist Party and their de facto and de jure Chinese Communist Party influence groups, he was taking their money to conduct joint research on nuclear energy and how China and the United States could collaborate.
We know the left's tactics have always been projection and accusing the enemy of what you're guilty of.
But I think, frankly, today, Steve, I think we shouldn't just start looking at the Biden family and all their corrupt business dealings.
We frankly should be looking at them for espionage too, because that really fits into the Alinskyite tactic, which is what I think we see exactly going on here.
steve bannon
Incredible. Okay, Natalie, you hang right there.
Natalie Winters, Maureen Bannon, Ben Burquam on the scene in Miami.
We're going to take a short break.
I want to thank Senator Vance.
We had a slight technical problem today.
We're going to have Vance, Senator Vance here, but he did it by Skype.
Ben, give us your assessment of how it went today, particularly tons of war room posse out there.
Obviously MAGA represented tremendously.
People behaved themselves. There was a lot of agitators there.
I know you're going to bounce through the John Solomon show.
ben bergquam
Give me your assessment. Yeah, it's what we've come to expect.
What's interesting, you know, you've got the MAGA Posse, you've got the War Room Posse, just some of the best people in the country, people that have escaped despots and communist regimes from all around the world.
They understand the implications of that.
And then the other side of that, I'd say kind of the...
I don't know. The worst side is the media we see out here.
You know, there was some good media out here, but the vast majority are just slobbering for the chance to see President Trump go down.
I even saw some of them high-fiving just a few minutes ago.
One of the federal attorneys came walking through here and they high-fived and said, great day.
It's just, you know, this is what they want.
This is what they want for America.
They want to destroy this country.
They've been doing this since 2016 going after President Trump with the fake dossier.
It's been a coup from the beginning.
And the posse gets it.
MAGA folks, they get it.
In fact, I've got one coming up to join me right now.
If you can join me here real quick.
People get it.
People on our side in particular.
Come here, come here, come here. Steve, if we have time, come here.
unidentified
Tell me your name again. My name is Mayra Joy.
ben bergquam
She was actually behind President Trump in the interview, and you were the one nodding and supporting him.
Real quick, from today, what's your message to the American people?
unidentified
Don't believe those lies.
Don't believe they're trying to distract you from the real crime, which is Joe Robinette and Biden and bribery.
And they're trying to pin Donald Trump with whatever Hillary Clinton did.
Remember? Seven cell phones destroyed with a hammer, destroying evidence, a bit bleached.
Remember all that? Guys, 37, 35 counts in New York, and now they are fabricating 37 counts over here.
Listen to the key word, unprecedented, which means they're making it up as they go, and they're using the judicial system to perpetrate this hunt.
ben bergquam
The people get it, Steve.
They get it. The fake news media is dying, and we're taking their place.
That's the reality of it.
And the bottom line is, wherever you're at in this country, today was MAGA Pride Day.
It's time to stand up, step up, get involved.
It's the future of our country.
It's the future for your children and your grandchildren.
And we're in it to win it. We're in it for the fight to victory.
steve bannon
Ben, one question for you is that you, probably more than any reporter, on the right have traveled all over this country from the Rio Grande Valley to El Paso to the border down in Arizona and California.
You've been all over to all the rallies.
What amazes me is they talk about Trump being a divider.
What's incredible is not just the United but how these people They understand this.
No matter where you go, they understand the facts.
They understand the details.
They can't be spun.
He truly has united an America.
And if you look at it, these are working class and middle class people from every different part of the country, every different region.
And it's just stunning.
And today in Miami, I think it showed where it really was MAGA Pride Day.
unidentified
Your thoughts? That's exactly right.
ben bergquam
And you look at the divide in our country, bottom line is it goes back to good versus evil.
And all you have to do is look at what the left is pushing, what they're promoting in particular this month.
Everything is going towards debauchery.
Everything is going towards evil.
You've got these guys that have two tiers of justice and all the people want is equal protection under the law.
We just want to be treated the same.
We actually want justice.
It's not a talking point like the left uses.
It's just the truth. People want to be treated fairly.
And that's why you see MAGA from all different shades, from both genders, all coming out here saying, you know what?
We're sick of it. We're done with it.
We're not going to take it anymore.
And in particular to the fake news propaganda media out here, we're not buying your lies anymore.
And that's where Real America's Voice News comes in.
And in particular, that's where you, Steve, come in.
I have so many people come up to me.
And just wait until you see these interviews I got today.
You haven't seen a fraction of what we got.
The thanks that we get from people across this country who say, you opened my eyes, you're educating us, unlike the propaganda media.
unidentified
Absolutely. And one of the most damaging things is people who try to make you feel embarrassment of being a MAGA. I am an old Trump 2024 and I have been a supporter of Trump since 2016 when KIA started.
I saw exactly what he was all about.
It was about America.
It was about we the people.
And that's why... The Democrats and Rhinos are on a cahoot together to get Donald Trump out.
They figure if they get Jesus out of church, nobody's gonna go to church.
You have something else coming.
He is our savior in the political arena.
Donald Trump is our guy, our president, and we're gonna be here supporting him because he put his neck out to save America.
And I'm sure, with God willing, he's gonna be doing it again.
steve bannon
God bless you, ma'am. I wish I could get you on the Trump campaign right now.
I would like to have you as a speechwriter.
Thank you. If I could give you a hug, we would.
I'll let Ben do it. But thank you so much for coming on.
ben bergquam
I'm a little sweaty, but I will. Steve wants to give you a big hug.
unidentified
Oh, great. Thank you, Steve.
Thank you for everything you do also.
And thank you for sticking up for our guy.
steve bannon
No. Look, we have the easy job with an audience like you, and President Trump knows this.
With supporters like you, his job is much easier.
So thank you for taking the burden off me today.
Really appreciate it, ma'am. Natalie, you've seen it all down there.
You've heard it all. The President addresses the nation at about 8.15 up at Bedminster.
If you were on the plane back with him, Walk me through what you would tell him that you think the most important points he has to make tonight.
natalie winters
Well, I think today Donald Trump got the most important and consequential endorsement that any political candidate has ever received, and that is that he has been endorsed as the sole candidate who really can go after and successfully take down the administrative state.
And I think that is what he should lean into tonight, because from the people that I talked to on the ground here, that is what they are most concerned about, because that is where the rest of these problems, whether it's the encroachment of the Chinese Communist Party through foreign influence operations, the full-blown weaponization of agencies like the FBI, DOJ, DHS against the American people, and complete, complete abandonment of American people in Afghanistan, on the southern border, leaving it wide open for anyone to come in.
That is the fundamental issue.
That really is the cardinal sin of the administrative state.
It is that they have so much power that, frankly, the presidency doesn't actually even mean anything If you cannot take on the administrative state, so that is what I would hammer.
steve bannon
Natalie, what's your social media?
I know you've got to bounce. What's your social media?
How do people track you?
How do they get to all the amazing stories you're putting up in a war room?
natalie winters
Thank you, and it's such an honor to work for you in War Room and meeting so many wonderful people today.
It really underscores why we do what we do.
And I just have to add, it was sort of torturous.
We were next to MSNBC and China Global Television Network today, so you could imagine how I felt.
But if you want to find me, my social media coordinates...
steve bannon
Hold on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
What, hold on, hold on, what was MSNBC talking about all day?
unidentified
Um...
natalie winters
Mo actually had a really good little over...you heard them say...
maureen bannon
Oh, they were talking about the fact that these were classified documents and secrets and that the president couldn't and by no means declassify any of this and that he was guilty and that was their main talking point throughout the day on numerous...
And numerous shows throughout the day, that was what they were reporting.
There was no change, no veering from that information.
They were going to push that all day on their network.
And we also have the Associated Press by us as well.
natalie winters
It's rough. Oh, God.
steve bannon
Hold it, Natalie.
Hang on, hang on. By the way, you can go to Grace Chung and put in for combat duty right now.
You had MSNBC, China State TV, and Associated Press surrounding War Room.
Unbelievable. What's your social media?
natalie winters
How do people get to your ratings?
We persevered.
Natalie G. Winters on all platforms.
Thank you, Steve. Thank you.
steve bannon
Natalie, thank you so much and thank you for great work today anchoring this.
Look forward to seeing you back here in the Imperial Capitol.
Mo, I want to, today, and you talk about...
Situations of people taking action.
We had Senator Vance. You know, one of the audience favorite is Congressman Anna Paulina Luna, and she's been on this situation with Shifty Shift.
Scalise came out and endorsed her move today by a tweet.
Walk me through what happened, because I think there was a little question about that earlier in the day.
maureen bannon
Correct. This morning it looked as if he was not going to support her resolution for the censure of Adam Schiff.
However, after War Room asked for our posse, action, action, action, to call Congressman Scalise's office and let him know that we needed his support on this resolution.
Congressman Scalise put out this tweet this afternoon.
I support at Rep Luna's resolution to censure Adam Schiff, and I'm working with her on the best timing to bring it to the House floor to help it pass.
So it looks like the audience, our very, very amazing audience, definitely called and let Congressman Scalise know that we want him to support Representative Ana Paulina Luna's resolution.
steve bannon
This is very important because they want an expulsion move on shift, and they also want him to get retribution from him about what he did.
I think it's $14 million what she's asking for.
This thing is very well thought through.
We had Matt Gaetz in this morning.
Matt Gaetz supports it, all the 20.
People are all over this, and we're glad to hear now that with a little nudge from the war room posse that the majority leader, Scalise, now supports.
I put it on tweet. Mo, before we go to break, I just want to ask you your assessment of the, you know, every time Ben does these interviews over there with the crowd, it stuns me how knowledgeable people are, how knowledgeable people, the audience that shows up to these from the war room.
Natalie mentioned the same thing.
maureen bannon
What are your thoughts on that? Our audience, especially within the MAGA movement, are extremely knowledgeable.
And I believe that mainstream media, especially those surrounding us, think that our posse and the MAGA movement are complete idiots.
They are not. They are the most intelligent people that we have met, the people that we talked to today.
They are extremely knowledgeable, honestly more than some of the journalists we're seeing here today.
steve bannon
So you can actually pick that up.
The journalists, you agree with me, the journalists don't really know that much.
They have their talking points.
And you heard it today all day as you had to live with it.
But you agree with me that they really don't know that much.
They kind of repeat what New York tells them?
maureen bannon
Correct. What they're being told to say is exactly what they repeat.
They might change the phrasing a little bit, but the message is exactly the same throughout the day.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to take a short break here.
Mo's going to stick with us in the six o'clock hour.
Mo's going to stick with us for the six o'clock.
Natalie's got a punch. She's coming back here to the nation's capital.
She's working on a bunch of these investigations and people should know there's a lot going on.
That's why the Anna Paulina Luna thing today was quite important.
I really want to thank all of the war room The posse, the cadre that made this happen.
You're the muscle to this movement, and people know that.
That's where people come on the show.
That's where people want to get their social media out there, get you to follow them, etc.
At the 6 o'clock hour, we're going to have Caroline Levitt.
Caroline is now with the MAGA group that supports President Trump.
She's going to be with us also today.
The young man that worked for Peter Navarro in the White House, Garrett Ziegler.
He's got this incredible sight, Marco Polo, that has the, what does he call it, the feral dogs of the Biden crime family all over it.
We're going to have both of them go on jurors.
Maybe, hopefully, Dr.
Peter Navarro, if we can all work it out.
unidentified
We've got a lot to get through.
steve bannon
Natalie said it best.
President Trump got a huge endorsement today.
It's from the administrative state that said, hey, this guy is the guy who can take us down and we have to stop him and we're going to do everything to stop him using lawfare.

Questions swirl around President Biden's handling of classified documents.
Found in President Biden's garage.
Multiple classified documents.
You and the former president are both now under investigation by the Justice Department.
But they didn't indict Biden.
Instead, Biden's DOJ went after Trump.

Okay, breaking news, and I'm getting it right now.
It looks like Grace Chung's got it up.
The Gun Owners of America has it.
Andy Clyde's house, the number 44, has passed out of House resolution, passes out of the House.
The pistol brace law now goes to the Senate.
So big news there. They cleared the decks today.
We ceded control of the House floor.
To make sure we get pistol brace passed, that has now happened.
I think they're also going to do the gas stove, so big breaking news there.
We'll try to get more on this and maybe Congressman Clyde, big victory for him.
Remember, if they can't reach a deal with McCarthy, They're going to shut it back down, so we'll have more updates on that in the 6 o'clock hour.
Ben Berquam, I want to make sure the audience gets the full flavor of this.
You had some pretty big breaking news.
I want to tell what the mainstream media is like behind the scenes, particularly with this attorney, with the prosecutor that walked out, the high fives, the smirks.
Natalie Winters and her sources said that they're smirking and laughing at President Trump, mocking him in the courtroom.
Give us your assessment, sir.
ben bergquam
Yeah, Steve, just a few minutes ago, I was standing here, and one of the prosecutors walked right past one of the media.
The media personality said, great day.
They looked up, smiled, high-fived, and continued on, and then they went over to a little group, media, cackling.
They're basically just laughing at the American people.
Keep in mind, Steve, when we talk about the deep state, we minimize, oftentimes, we talk about fake news, but we minimize the impact that this corrupt propaganda media has had on On the American people, on this process, to the point where the only reason we're even in this situation, the only reason why they had the quid pro quo impeachment and the Russia collusion hoax is because the media perpetuated it.
They're laughing in your face, America.
They're basically spitting on our Constitution and laughing in your face, and they are just hoping.
And praying. No, they don't pray.
They're hoping to see President Trump go away.
They're hoping to see you lose.
And I got to tell you, when we win and we watch the liberal tears flow again, it's going to be a great day.
Not out of bitterness, but out of just joy that this is good versus evil.
And I want to see good win and I want to see them lose.
And it's up to us to win. No more compromise.
unidentified
It's win or lose. No more compromise.
steve bannon
We must win to save this nation.
You saw it this weekend. In the second hour, we're going to talk about Flag Day.
Stern's going to come up, but I'm going to play some of the video of the desecration of the White House.
And now today, the White House said, oh, well, this individual's banned.
Some dude, some guy dresses a woman once again.
One of these, was it transsexuals?
I don't even know what you call them. It's filth.
It's filth. They're getting bucked, and it's filth, filth, with the gay player.
And now they realize the firestorm's up, and they're so nervous about it, that they're saying, oh, he's banned forever from the White House.
Well, he should have been banned in the first place.
It's a desecration of the White House, having the, what is it, the progressive gay flag up there between old glory and a position of power.
In authority is a disgrace and a desecration.
More than a disgrace, it's a desecration.
It's a desecration. Desecration to our flag, desecration to the men and women that served under it, desecration to those who gave their lives to defend it.
We're going to get to that in the 6 o'clock hour.
Ben, how can people get to you with all your great reporting?
I know you're going to be on with John Solomon and Amanda, but how do people follow you on social media?
