steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
unidentified
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I got a free shot all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you 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?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Baskin.
steve bannon
Monday, 7 August, Sherver Lord 2023.
Thank you for being here for our late afternoon, early evening hours.
We're packed this afternoon.
I want to start what I refer to as the Michael Yan Expedition Force down on our southern border.
We're going to go to McAllen, Texas, live to our own Tara Dahl.
Tara, you've given us some exclusive photographs.
We're going to get some footage in a moment from Anthony Iacquaro.
There's a lot going on down there.
unidentified
Tell us where you are and what do you have for us?
Yeah, hi Steve, it's good to be with you.
I'm here with Operation Burning Edge, and behind me is the wall.
We're here in McAllen, Texas, Mission, Texas, and we've been covering the border for the last several days.
steve bannon
Talk to us about Burning Edge overall, the whole concept.
This is Jan and people like yourself, they're very engaged in border security, our national sovereignty.
What's the overall purpose of Burning Edge?
Where are you guys going?
unidentified
Yeah, we started out in Texas.
They started out at SpaceX and where we went up to the actual border in the Gulf of Mexico and saw, really you could see Mexico right across from the water there.
And then they are going all the way, Texas, hitting all the nine sectors, all the way up into California.
So they're going to be down here for the next 30 days.
And really the point of the operation is to bring awareness to what's really happening on the border.
You know, you hear from the Biden administration that the border is secure and that it is not That's a flat-out lie.
The border is absolutely open, and the cartels have operational control.
And what we're going to show you with the images that we're going to show you validates that, that the cartels do have operational control over this border.
So that's really what this purpose of the operation is, is so that the American people can see what's really happening down here on the border.
steve bannon
Okay, let's go to this footage.
First off, it's pretty shocking.
I want you to describe, particularly for our podcast and radio audience, as Denver, if we can get them up by TerraTalks, what exactly are we seeing and where did you guys get these from?
unidentified
Yeah, so law enforcement actually leaked this footage.
This footage is from Saturday, August 5th.
And the reason that law enforcement leaked it is because they want the American people to understand the national security implications right now of Biden's open border policies.
And so it's exclusive to War Room, Steve.
And this is, we're breaking this story right now.
And what you're seeing here, this is three gunmen.
That crossed over from Miguel Aleman, Mexico, and it crossed into Fronton, Texas, which is near Roma, Texas.
Roma, Texas is a very small community right on the border.
It has about 11,000 people per population.
Fronton is even smaller.
There's no gas station there.
And Roma is the most violent area on the southwest border.
And you can see in these images These gunmen have long guns.
They have holsters for pistols.
They have body armor on them.
And keep in mind, in Mexico, they have some of the most restricted gun laws.
They're not allowed.
Mexican citizens are not allowed to have guns.
They're not allowed to hold pistols.
They're not allowed to have body armor, so you know that these are identified as cartel members.
This imagery is taken in Fronton, Texas.
This is on the U.S.
side.
What happened is Vortec was called, but they are coming from McAllen, Texas, so by the time they arrived on the scene, When these images were taken, these gunmen had escaped already into the United States.
So now they're among the 1.5 million known gotaways that we have under the Biden administration.
We have 25,000, just for the month of July, known gotaways.
alone. And so now they're in Texas and they're armed and they're dangerous. And keep in mind, these are with the cartel, cartel new generation, Jalisco new generation. That's the most violent cartel in Mexico. And what's happening in this area, why you're seeing this is in Miguel Alamon, you have a battle for control of territory among three different cartels. The Gulf cartel has controlled that area for the last 20 years. In the last two and a half years, the Northeast
cartel started more control over that area. And last May, now you have the most violent cartel, cartel Jalisco new generation has also joined the fight for control of that area. That's an area where there's a lot of smuggling that goes through. The only wall in Tronton is a, it's a short wall, very small. It's not, it doesn't protect the area. So You're seeing the national security implications right now that Biden's open policies are having on the American people.
A lot of people in that area are leaving that area.
We had an opportunity To talk to a very well-respected veteran, Doc Michael Vickers.
He was briefing us yesterday on the state of affairs down here, and he was telling us the impact that Biden's immigration policies are having on the healthcare system, on the schools.
He runs into immigrants almost on a daily basis on his own ranch.
He was showing us photos of all the deceased immigrants that he and his wife run into themselves on their ranch.
And so what's happening is the Biden administration is actually putting illegal immigrants' interests over the United States' interests.
steve bannon
If we can go back at Denver as I talk with Tara, if we can get the images back up.
You don't need to see me as we talk.
Tara, an up-armored cartel member with a long gun, and you're saying with pistols, Is that because they're having the active cartel war now?
Is he there and got that because there's other cartels?
If that's new generation, that he might run into a Gulf cartel or Northeast cartel?
Or is he that uparmer just come across the border and terrorize American citizens?
unidentified
I think what's happening is they're battling in that area.
They're battling for control.
And so you're just having a spillover into Roma, Texas.
But keep in mind too, we've had 140 terrorists that are on the FBI's terrorist watch list cross into the United States as unknown gotaways just in the last nine months.
60% of those are with FARC.
40% are Middle Eastern terrorists.
So I'm not sure if they're crossing into the We just dropped her.
steve bannon
Okay, let's try to get her rebooted.
That's a great shot down there, and great work on those photos.
Let's go to Anthony Aguero, and if we have Anthony's... Do we have any footage you want to play before?
Anthony, you were just down there.
Tell me what's going on with the cartels.
I mean, we got some incredible footage from you.
Tell me what's going on with the cartel war down there.
unidentified
We started out in Boca Chica right behind SpaceX, Steve, and we were out there with a group of individuals that are actually volunteering their top-of-the-line technology.
This company sells technology to the federal government and so they're out here with a thermal heat sensor camera And we were able to capture border patrol actually observing traffic coming back and forth from Mexico into the United States, vice versa.
What is happening here is they are circumventing the border patrol that is on Boca Chica Road.
So they are going all the way up the beach into Port Isabella into the South Padre Island area.
So they're completely going around Border Patrol and here you see the Border Patrol agents just standing there observing as motorcycles, dirt bikes, and trucks are going back and forth between both countries.
This is a breaking story we have not talked about it yet Steve.
This is actually the footage that TracaSystems.com was able to provide for us while we were out there with them.
The last two nights we have been out there in Roma and in Fronton, as you heard Tara just say.
We know that there is a cartel battle over there as we were documenting yesterday and the night before.
Multiple gunshots were going on in the immediate area where we were at.
Border Patrol agents told us to proceed with a lot of caution in the areas in which we were operating and walking around on.
These are designated refugee areas for birds, which is a total scam.
What's happening in those areas is what you're seeing now on the screen.
It is a smoke screen for receiving the migrants.
They have porta-potties set up out there for them.
Here you see what appears to be these kids that are drugged with zero kind of reaction to such bright lumens in their face.
They are completely out cold.
That little girl did not move for hours on end.
You could see the veins in their little hands really, really starting to kind of show as they had been in the same position for hours while we were out there documenting, Steve.
Well, hang on.
steve bannon
Let's break this down.
Tell me about the company again.
Tell me about this technology.
What's the technology that they're providing?
unidentified
So TrakaSystems.com is actually out here and they have put forth $15,000 of their own money to join Ann Vander Steele, Michael Yawn and myself down here on the border to try to shine a little bit of light into what is happening.
It's actually two marine veterans that basically put their life on hold and they're down here During their time trying to help and trying to do their part and trying to shine a little bit of light for the rest of the country into what's happening down at our southern border.
steve bannon
Now, these are night vision.
This is night vision tracking.
It's better than what's out there right now.
Is that what they're trying to prove to the authorities?
unidentified
It is the top of the line.
Border Patrol agents or DHS don't even have this type of technology.
We're literally rolling around in a Tonka truck with over a million dollars worth of gadgets in there.
The technology is amazing.
They can zoom in and out for miles on end.
We were able to capture hours of footage the last few nights that we've been out there documenting the atrocities on the southern border.
steve bannon
I think, Anthony, and correct me if I'm wrong, this is, I think the power of this footage is that this is just a normal night.
Operation Burning Edge has started at the beginning of August.
You're going to take the entire month and go the length of the border from essentially Brownsville or the Gulf where the Rio Grande Empties into the Gulf you're gonna go all the way to Imperial Beach, San Diego You're gonna cover the entire border a couple things number one So you're seeing a typical night and you're seeing this huge flood of people and you also see him coming back and forth the Border Patrol Agents just standing there.
Is that because they're instructed Just to kind of observe it, they're not trying to interdict any of this?
Are they told not to interdict because of cartels?
Or why are they just staying there?
Because the Border Patrol is among the finest people we have in the government of trying to protect the border.
And we understand Biden and Mayorkas are giving them orders to be concierge and not really protect the border.
But why would these two look like Border Patrol agents just standing there?
unidentified
They're definitely the agents out here definitely outnumbered Steve.
I could not tell you if it was purposely allowing them by orders from high up above to allow this to be going on, but I know we were able to capture it and to see it firsthand.
In such an open manner is pretty pretty vile.
Mr. Michael Yan did put all this together and he's doing a fine job leading us all the way to the West Coast border.
This is just a few nights in where we've been able to do already so much reconnaissance and so much information and intel that we've been able to acquire.
People are reaching out to us.
We have this technology right now at the disposal of our fingertips out here.
And so we're going to continue to push on in and try to bring you guys the best coverage available.
steve bannon
Anthony, I want to come back to something about the children.
That could be the parents that knock them out so they're easy to transport and sneak across the border.
It doesn't necessarily mean or doesn't mean for the people that work the border, because I don't know that these are children that they're drugging and knocking out potentially so they don't tell them when they're caught that these are not their parents.
unidentified
So what we've been seeing for the last couple of years at the border, Steve, is that children that are not with their biological parents or family members tend to act up while they're in these holding processing sessions while we're out there on the field.
And so what we've realized is that a lot of these kids are being drugged with Rohypnol, according to what experts have told me.
They use Rohypnol and they basically put these kids to sleep because right now, The Biden administration has completely taken away any kind of DNA testing.
So unless this child actually tells authorities, hey, this is not my dad, this is not my mom.
Border Patrol will have no way of knowing.
This child will just get passed right along through the system into the country with these people.
I actually pressed this gentleman on the screen here holding that little girl.
I asked him, what is her name?
He was kind of like a deer in headlights.
I asked him for her birthday.
He didn't even know the birthday of the little girl.
Okay, hang on for a second, Anthony.
steve bannon
We're going to go back to the border.
Operation Burning Edge.
We have Tara Dahl, Anthony Aguero.
Back in the war room 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 C.C.B.
They have all gone.
steve bannon
Stephen K. Bann Okay, I'm going to go back to Anthony in a second.
I want to conclude that or come to some closure on about these children last night.
I'm going to go to Tara Dahl.
Tara, look, one of the purposes of Operation Burning Edge is given Michael Yan's reputation, Anthony Aguirre's reputation, yours.
And others associated with it is to have whistleblowers come forward, people in Border Patrol, in Customs and Border, in DEA, in DHS for child trafficking to come forward with evidence and scoops and leaks and whistleblowing.
The footage you show, and if Denver, and by the way her phone is overheating so we're going to lose her in a minute, if Denver could put back up that footage.
The footage or the photos are quite shocking But they were given to you by law enforcement to make sure the war room audience saw.
Why is that?
Is this a cry for help?
Do the authorities don't think they're getting the support?
Local officials or state officials or federal officials don't have their back on this cartel war and they wanted a national audience to actually see what's going on?
unidentified
Absolutely.
Yeah, definitely.
And that's why they want the American people to understand what is actually happening on the border.
You get Secretary Mayorkas, you get the Biden administration saying that the border is secure.
That's a flat out lie.
The border is not secure.
The border is wide open.
It is a national security threat to all of America.
And that's why I think you're seeing these whistleblowers come out and wanting people to know what is actually happening here.
I spoke with several border patrol agents.
And off the record and they were telling me basically the agency has turned into a humanitarian agency.
It says it right on the handbook now.
They said that they joined to be able to provide the security and protection for the United States and now they're just taking care of babies and it's a humanitarian agency.
So these guys, the morale and the border patrol units are down.
The suicide rate is up.
They want people to know what's really happening and they're not getting the support from the federal government at all.
steve bannon
You're saying when you're talking to the agents, they've said they've turned into more of a concierge service or humanitarian instead of their first mission to protect the border and the citizens of the United States, particularly on the border down there in the rear Grand Valley?
unidentified
Absolutely.
You can see their handbook.
It says humanitarian agency on the handbook, which I don't think is even congressionally allowable, but that's what's happening.
They're told now that they have to process, instead of providing the security for the border, they're having to process all these illegal immigrants.
steve bannon
Tara, what's your social media?
How do people track you and the rest of the crew at Operation Burning Edge?
unidentified
Yeah, you can get, you can support this operation by going to GiveGoSend.com-OperationBurningEdge.
So people can donate and support the operation.
steve bannon
What's your, what's your, what's your social media?
unidentified
TaraunderDashDoll at Instagram.
steve bannon
I know we're making some progress.
I think the first time we answered that a couple of months ago, you didn't have it.
So we're making... Tara Dahl enters the 21st century.
unidentified
Tara, stay safe down there.
steve bannon
Tara Dahl.
We're going to have reports of Jan and Tara every day.
Anthony, I want to go back to what you just said.
When you asked this individual about the children, He could not give you the name or the date of birth?
unidentified
He fumbled on giving me the name, Steve, and he definitely could not give me a straight answer on the child's birthday.
He then referred me to the paperwork in his hand and I asked him, don't you as a father, don't you know your own child's birthday?
And he said, oh, I got it right here on the paperwork.
And he just continued walking onto the bus.
And to go back to the point that you were just talking to Tara about, yes, Border Patrol agents are reaching out, and they are telling us to look for these clues.
These are back.
These have been gone for several months.
These bracelets that they put on these children, on these women, to traffic them over the border are back in massive, massive numbers.
This is just a small quantity.
Fresh ones that I was able to pick up the last couple of nights that we've been out here.
The difference about these though, Steve, is that these actually have the full name of the migrant inside of them, and they actually have a three to four digit code numbering inside of them, written in with a sharpie.
steve bannon
Anthony, do the people coming up in the caravans, the people coming across, the people paying the cartels, is it widely known that there's no more DNA testing of minors that come across with these quote-unquote families?
That there's no DNA testing anymore?
unidentified
It is very openly known.
It is a very lucrative business.
We're starting to see recycled children again.
And for those of our audience that might not know what I'm talking about, a recycled child is when a child gets sent with an adult male.
For example, the male then gains access into the country as a father figure for this child.
Once this male gets into the country, he then turns the child back over into the trafficking organization, which takes the child back into Mexico, and then they send the child back with another adult male to get him entry into the country.
It's an on-going situation.
It's like clockwork, and a lot of these children, unfortunately, are being used for that very purpose.
steve bannon
Anthony, where do people go on your social media to look at all your footage you're reporting?
unidentified
They can go to Rumble and find us on their Border Wars feed or on Twitter at Aguero4Texas, sir.
And they can also find us on Real America's Voice News and Law & Border with Ben Birkwald.
steve bannon
Thank you, Anthony.
Honored to have you and Tara on here.
We got Ben and Oscar Blue Ramirez are in France and they're going to be covering in detail the migrant crisis there, which is all part of the same crisis.
And of course, Tara is going to be with Operation Burning Edge and then Anthony is going to be doing reporting and some of this great footage.
So we'll have this fully covered in the in the month of August.
I want to go now to Greg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht of True The Vote.
Catherine, I'm going to start with you.
I've got a, we have a film I want to play.
It's about four minutes.
So I've got about a minute.
Can you tee it up?
Because I want to take this film to break.
This is about a four minute movie.
It's on President, or Greg, you jump in.
It's on President Trump's uncle.
Why did you guys decide to make this?
catherine englebrecht
This started after the rough cut that was shown at Mar-a-Lago to the president of 2,000 Mules.
And after the 2,000 Mules presentation, President Trump went up to Greg and said, you remind me of my Uncle John.
And it was that that started us on this quest to understand who was Uncle John and why was he so special to the president?
And the result is the video that you saw.
steve bannon
Okay, let's go ahead.
We've got time to play it.
I want to fit it in now.
If Denver can go ahead and play, we'll take this to break.
We'll come back with True The Vote's Greg Phillips and Katherine Engelbert to walk through it.
Let's go ahead and watch it.
unidentified
We've been chosen by God to live in amazing, challenging times.
Though today's battles may be fierce, our position is fortified through the vision and determination of American heroes who went before us.
Those heroes, those patriots, their history shape our future.
Maybe that's why this story means so much.
In April of 2022, Katherine and I went to Mar-a-Lago to share a rough cut of 2,000 mules with the President.
After watching the movie, President Trump shook my hand, thanked me, and said, you remind me of my Uncle John.
John Trump?
Whose namesake is Donald John Trump?
I needed to know more.
So our research team began scouring the globe and discovered the story of an extraordinary man and an American hero.
John G. Trump was a genius physicist who prolifically shaped American innovation.
He dedicated his life to unraveling the mysteries of our universe and shared his findings in ways that continue to improve our lives to this day.
Trump's groundbreaking work while a young professor at MIT transformed our understanding of radiation and electrostatic energy.
Known for his impressive contributions to the development of the Van de Graaff generator, his leadership enabled new scientific explorations and breakthroughs.
In fact, John Trump would go on to be celebrated as the longest tenured professor in MIT history.
When World War II cast a shadow over the entire globe, Trump was called to serve his nation.
His expertise played a pivotal role in the development of radar technology, which was instrumental to the Allied victory.
Post-war, Trump turned his attention to an intriguing challenge when our country selected him to lead in the posthumous analysis of theories that were hypothesized by Nikola Tesla.
His report remains one of the most authoritative insights into Tesla's mysterious death ray and its practical applications.
John G. Trump, a remarkable physicist, an esteemed professor, a war hero, and a beacon of American scientific innovation.
His legacy continues to inspire us to question, explore, and push the boundaries of knowledge.
Over the last 15 months, our team at Open Inc.
has collected thousands of documents, publications, and books on the life and work of John Trump, some of which were only available in libraries found outside our country.
From personal war diaries to groundbreaking patents, it is the story of a man whose legacy shaped a country and a president.
It is a story that deserves to be told.
steve bannon
Yes, I think for Media Matters, for all of our marketing team over at Media Matters, make sure that the headline should be today from our show is that Greg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht have found in the research and doing the film that President Trump's family, extended family, by his uncle John Trump has the intellectual property to Tesla's death ray.
unidentified
I just want their heads to blow up.
steve bannon
No.
unidentified
Guys, we're going to take a short... I love it.
steve bannon
I love it.
That's such a Catherine Engelbrecht and Greg Phillips move.
unidentified
Boom!
steve bannon
Right there.
Suck on that.
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
True the Votes, Engelbrecht and Phillips on the other side.
We're also going to go to Ohio, where issue one is in the balance.
It's all next in The War Room.
Professor Trump or Dr. Trump, John Trump was I think the most highly regarded professor at MIT and that's saying something.
So Greg, how did you guys pull all this together?
How did you pull together all the footage?
How did you get all the research done?
unidentified
We have five researchers at Open.inc that have spent a good bit of the last year really dredging up this information and finding it everywhere from the special collection room at MIT all the way to Oxford in the UK.
We're finding everything from multiples of war journals, a war journal here that doesn't quite match a war journal over there.
And just learning all sorts of things about how Trump got it or how John Trump became sort of connected or not connected with Tesla.
He was like instrumental in World War II in building a radar system to counteract what the Germans were doing.
And we have some footage from A lunch that he had with the Queen while he was over there during World War II.
And it's just, it's really just an extraordinary project.
I think every single one of the analysts would agree, if they were on here, that they really, you know, became sort of personally attached and you really begin to understand just the capabilities and quality of this guy, John G. Trump.
I mean, it was really quite extraordinary.
steve bannon
You guys, and I think you presented, or you were there the other day with the president.
Catherine, you guys put out...
Not just the controversial film 2000 Mules, but obviously, I think what rattled everybody is the level of research that you guys had done on the technology side, on the intellectual property side, on the content side, that you couldn't even fit into the film.
You know, you had tons of interviews with you and Greg, and Greg was there with a bunch of technology guys all the time.
I take it you look forward.
To present this in federal court in the in the J6 and the President Trump's just got indicted that you and Greg I would assume I heard that if if it even comes this who knows if it's going to but President Trump's defense will take up to eight months, maybe a year because they're going to go through all how 2020 was stolen the lead up to a J6.
I take it you and Greg would be on the stand for I don't know two or three weeks.
catherine englebrecht
We look forward to it.
We look forward to the opportunity to tell the full story of what happened and not only that, but to talk with great precision about when data was handed over to the FBI and what they did or didn't do.
In fact, did not do with it because they didn't investigate.
They never investigated.
And, you know, the way you don't get the answers is you don't allow the questions to be asked.
And that's what the federal government worked overtime to assure would happen.
Just silence any dissent.
And they're about to get a big eyeful.
So we look forward to it.
steve bannon
Isn't that, you guys are a twofer.
Number one, you have all this evidence of the thing itself, right, in excruciating detail and with all the technological information associated with it.
But Greg, also, you're also part of the suppression of the information and really not having it come forward because you guys came forward right away.
to the FBI and to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations and many authorities to say, hey, we want to make sure everybody knows this and sees it right away, correct?
unidentified
Yeah, Steve, it's the reason that we built Open Inc.
We went through all of the mule stuff, everything in 2021, 2022, through the mules thing.
And when it came right down to it, we just had nowhere to go.
We had nowhere to put the information.
So we built Open Inc.
And first rolled it out, the day before Connick dropped their lawsuit, we dumped all of our discovery data into the website, and the next day they dropped the suit.
I'm not saying that that's going to happen in Trump's case, but I cannot imagine a more impressive set of data being offered into a case That's moving into federal court.
You go search on Google or Bing or, you know, anywhere else on the internet, you're never going to find this stuff.
It's the reason we build Open Inc.
The truth needs to be told, and we build a platform to hold the truth.
steve bannon
How do people get there, Greg?
How do people that watch your show go there to experience it?
unidentified
Open.Inc.
If you want to go to one of the special collections, you can hit slash conic, K-O-N-N-E-C-H.
slash JGT for John G. Trump.
We've got a lot more coming.
We've got some open source software to help clean the voter rolls.
We're going to release through Open Inc.
We've got some video from Georgia that we're going to give them a little bit of a taste of here, I think, in the next week or so.
And Open Inc. is going to be is going to be an important place for the future of America, Steve.
steve bannon
So I want everybody to go there, get that down, where everybody go to today, during the show or afterwards and experience that.
Before I let you go, Catherine, I don't want to bring up, and I don't want to tease anything in advance, I don't want to bring up the K-word, but you and True the Vote and Gray, it's just not about 2,000 mules.
You've got investigations going on all the time.
Do you believe that some of these investigations will come to fruition?
Before President Trump's trial.
We're hearing that Fannie Willis is going to indict, you know, President Trump on 20 other things, either this week or next week.
Do you think some of these other investigations will come to fruition before the supposed trials of President Trump?
catherine englebrecht
Well, we are continuing to press with Attorneys General, with the Weaponization Committee at the House.
We are optimistic, but the thing that encourages us most is that the American people are awake and that when we put things into a forum like Open Inc., Americans can take it and run.
So, there's no more running and hiding.
All of this is going to come out.
They have reaped the whirlwind.
steve bannon
Catherine, what are your and Greg's—where's social media?
Where do people get you?
catherine englebrecht
For True the Vote, you can find us at truethevote.org or at True the Vote on any social media platform.
I do a Monday night podcast starting here in a couple of hours that you can connect through through the website or through Truth Social.
And for Open Ink, Greg, I'll pitch to you to give your deets.
unidentified
Yeah, open.ink.
I encourage everyone to go there.
I-N-K is the most important place you could be right now.
I'm on true social at Greg Phillips and Catherine and I are on Twitter together, a joint account on Twitter.
It is Onward Social.
We're getting beat up pretty much every day, but it's good for the soul.
steve bannon
They can beat you up, but you're two people that went to prison.
Instead of breaking, they couldn't break you too.
So that shows you that you're two of the most important members of this movement and really honored to have you on here.
Katherine Engelbert, Greg Phillips, thank you guys.
catherine englebrecht
Thanks, Steve.
steve bannon
Real fighters right there cannot break them.
Impossible.
They try to.
You understand how bad one of those Texas prisons are in the middle of a hot summer?
You can't break Katherine Engelbrecht and you cannot break Greg Phillips.
Okay, Ohio.
I want to start with Brother Yep.
Do I have Yep by phone or is Yep by Skype?
He's up by Skype.
John Yep, my phone blew up all day yesterday.
With this, the Catholic rally, to say the rosary, I mean you had Caviezel, you had General Flynn, you had a bunch of other just fighters, and you topped it off with Bishop Strickland.
Tell me about it.
unidentified
Massive turnout.
Again, this was about getting ready for tomorrow's big election.
Issue 1 is at stake.
We've got to get it across the finish line, so you have to vote yes on Issue 1 if you live in Ohio.
What we did is we've taken the momentum from the LA Dodger rally We got, we assembled people.
You see the footage right there on your screen.
That's early on the day as people were gathering.
And by the time that, you know, Max, we had 3,000 to 3,500.
Thousands and thousands were viewing online.
And yes, Steve, you nailed it.
We had some fighters on stage.
We had General Michael Flynn.
We had Jim Caviezel.
We had Bishop Strickland.
We culminated in the rosary.
It was a joint event.
Yes, we had protesters who dispersed quickly when the rosary started.
Just a real shot in the arm for Christians in Ohio, and it was an immense, immense turnout.
steve bannon
I want to talk about the importance of this.
By the way, the crowd looks unbelievable.
Look at the crowd right there.
That looks like a lot more than 3,000.
I mean, brother, you really pulled some folks together.
That's incredible.
And with no marketing money at the last second.
And in the hot sun.
That's just absolutely incredible.
unidentified
Steve, it was done in three weeks.
It just really, really shows you.
I mean, again, the genesis of this was local people said, What can we do?
They called C4C up.
We got together with other groups.
We put this on.
It was joined between us and the Catholic Speakers Organization.
And right now what you're seeing, see the people's hands extended?
You know what they're doing?
They're praying over Chloe Cole.
That is an 18-year-old female who was lied to by the transgender movement.
And she had all the surgery, the chemical, all that stuff, treatment done to her.
And now she's a witness.
She gave her testimony on the U.S.
House floor recently.
And she came.
To warn parents, it's like, look, this happened to me.
They had to get through my parents.
If you guys lose issue one on Tuesday, they don't even need your parents.
They will be able to influence your kids with this stuff.
So everyone's hands are extended, praying over Chloe that she can have the gift of a child.
That's literally what's happening because all that treatment did to her severely damaged her.
So it's just a real powerful, spontaneous moment of taking prayer, Steve, Into action.
Yeah, it was hot.
It was the hot sun.
But, you know, people didn't didn't mind they were there.
They knew what we had to be there and make a stand and show.
You compare that drone footage, Steve, to right down a couple of blocks away, the less than almost half a million dollars to get John Legend in.
And I think they got like 200 people there, the exact location.
So we were like, OK, that's what you're going to do.
Here's what we can do when when you see Christians and Catholics united and motivated for love of country.
steve bannon
The Guardian had, I'll try to get it to Denver, I haven't had a chance to pull up, but the Guardian had a story up this morning saying that this was the end of democracy if this passes on Tuesday.
Can you explain, why did they fear Issue 1?
unidentified
They fear Issue 1 because they will not be able to get their radical agenda.
So what this does, if we get this across the finish line, it will increase the threshold of the state constitution from the 51-49 percent to 6040, which again reflects the U.S.
Constitution.
The purpose is it's a way to protect Americans as citizenry from major drastic changes that are done in the dead of the night, and it's a protective measure.
So these Ohioans are doing just that.
I mean, end of democracy.
What's going on at the end of democracy?
You kill a baby in the womb, you take away Chloe's ability to have kids, you've destroyed her democracy.
She doesn't have, you know, those babies don't have a choice anymore.
So this, or parents, if Again, parental rights is everything.
If Issue 1 is not passed, parents won't have a voice.
So this is not the end of democracy.
This is the beginning of democracy.
steve bannon
Before we go to break, we're going to hold you over.
We've got John Jakubowski, also an activist in Ohio, that's going to join us here in a moment.
I just want to go over this.
When you started to pray the rosary, The bad guys, the demons left, am I to take that?
Is that what happened?
unidentified
We started to pray the rosary, all the protesters?
Two significant moments.
One was obviously when Abby Johnson took the stage and she just manhandled those protesters.
I think she counted them for the crowd who was not able to see how many there were.
I think there were 12.
But when the rosary started, Ask the witnesses.
They dispersed.
And that was the first time, by the way, that we had shade all day.
So, you know, if anything, it was a blessing just already seen from heaven that moment.
But protests were not an issue.
In fact, they revved, as you know, people like General Flynn up.
He gets more passionate when he sees protesters.
But it was also good for those people there to understand the tenacity of the left and how Irrational, they aren't tip.
You know, they don't even know what they're screaming about, right?
So our side just got energized by that, which is important, right?
steve bannon
Can't take, they can't take the rosary.
Okay.
unidentified
Yep.
steve bannon
Just stick around.
A short commercial break.
break. We'll be back in a moment.
unidentified

It's going to be incredible out in Springfield, Missouri.
Can't wait to get out there next week.
John Jakubowski, you're an Ohio activist.
How big a deal is this?
And what type of turnout do we need?
It's a special election, but what type of turnout are we going to need to win this thing?
unidentified
Yeah, Steve, thanks for having me on.
First of all, it's an honor and a privilege.
This is the most important Ohio election of my lifetime.
That's how big it is.
And they predicted model turnouts for special elections look that look like they're more around 8 to 10%.
But because of the tens of millions of dollars already mobilized specifically by the left, but we've had a lot more raised on our side as well.
We're looking at turnout models around 26 to 28%.
And what's going to decide this election, Steve, is whether or not our side is motivated enough to get out and vote on the day of.
Early modeling shows us down, but not down by the same amounts that we were expecting.
We're down if you just use the R&D as an indicator or proxy for how people are going to vote.
Yes, if a Republican, no.
If a Democrat, we're down about 70,000 votes, which absolutely is an amount that we can overcome.
But this Clearing Call to Action and your show, if you are an Ohio voter, we need you out tomorrow between 6.30 a.m.
and 7.30 p.m.
If you know of an Ohio voter, call them and tell them this is the most important Ohio election of their lifetime.
Please join us in voting yes for Issue 1 to strengthen our Constitution and to protect it from outside of state special interests.
And let's set a blueprint for the rest of America because in 2024, you better believe it, Steve, they're coming to 11 states with these diabolical initiatives because they know that if they can win in Ohio, they can win anywhere.
steve bannon
Talk about the diabolical initiatives.
unidentified
Yeah, so we have to have a little background After Roe went down through the prayers and faithfulness of many in the pro-life movement, praise be to God for that, there was obviously during the Dobbs era, six elections that happened in six different states.
And to the surprise of everybody, the left included, they prevailed in states like Kentucky, Kansas, and Wyoming or Montana.
Because of that, they decided that they were going to put all their chips in and come to the state of Ohio in 2023 to make a test case.
To see if they put all their efforts into one state and then they prevailed in that state, then they could take that same approach to other states throughout the country.
The reason they targeted Ohio is not only because it's a bellwether of bellwethers, but also because the threshold for amending our Constitution is very low.
It's a simple majority.
We're one of only 10 states in the country that allow for citizen-led ballot initiatives to amend the Constitution with a simple majority.
But we're not the only state, not the only red state at that.
The other states that they're going to be targeting in 2024 include North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Arizona, states that I would say for the most part are pretty red and conservative.
Well, they're going after them because they know that with ballot initiatives, And in cases of turnout, they can confuse the voters.
They can use marketing.
They can use messaging and polish their message up.
And with enough multi-millionaire and billionaires from places like Switzerland, they can invest to get these initiatives across the line and permanently place them in constitutions, which can't be extracted easily through legislatures.
steve bannon
So where do people go if they want to vote?
By the way, this shows you the early voting thing's still not kicking in with the Republicans.
I understand there's still a lot of controversy about that.
But we're down, so it's all going to depend on game day.
Where do people go?
How do they find what polling places are going to be open?
Where do they go to find all of this?
unidentified
Yeah, first a quick plug for Protect Women Ohio.
It was a coalition brought together when we saw that this was coming to our state.
We wanted to unify the pro-life movement.
We knew that if we were going to win, it was going to be because of the pro-life, pro-faith, pro-freedom forces in our state.
And we've raised volunteers all across the street under that umbrella, thanks to the leadership of guys like Aaron Bayer, who's leading at the tipping point of the sphere of Center for Christian Virtue, Peter Range, Molly Smith.
So that organization is central for trying to mobilize volunteers in our state.
For those that are going to the polls tomorrow, the best thing you can do is reach out or check out the Ohio Secretary of State website or call your local Board of Elections.
There are a lot of counties that are kind of caught flat-footed, don't have a lot of volunteers, so your precincts may have changed.
So it's imperative that you reach out to your local Board of Elections or the Ohio Secretary of State's website to know where to vote.
And the voting hours are from 630 a.m.
to 730 p.m.
And Steve, if our voters get out, we win this.
And we set a blueprint for the rest of the nation.
There is no more critical vote in 2023.
In this Ohio election.
steve bannon
John, what's your social media?
How do people follow you?
unidentified
So, John Jakubowski.
It's just J-O-N.
J-O-N-J-A-K-U-B-O-W-S-K-I.
steve bannon
Brother Jakubowski, thank you very much.
Appreciate you coming on.
unidentified
It's an honor.
Thank you, Steve.
Appreciate you.
steve bannon
John Yep, where do people follow you, particularly throughout tonight and tomorrow during the day, about where to vote, how to vote, where to go, all of it?
unidentified
They go to Twitter or Truth, the letter C, F-O-R-C dot com, our website there.
It's all there.
And I'll link something to get the photos, et cetera, et cetera.
But it's so important, Steve.
And just remember, this was done without the full support of the structural church who chose to remain neutral.
But it doesn't matter.
We're going ahead because we absolutely have to.
The country's at stake.
steve bannon
You've had two home runs, one in Dodger Stadium and Chavez Ravine without any help from the Archdiocese, and you had another home run yesterday without any help from the administrative official Catholic Church.
It just shows you that the people in charge of the Church are not actually engaged in what's important, not these political or social issues.
What they're doing is they're sending money down to Catholic Relief.
unidentified
Absolutely.
steve bannon
Not just that, it's detrimental.
Through Catholic Relief, they're down there in Mexico acting as a concierge service for illegal aliens to come through.
So that tells you everything you need to know.
John, thank you very much.
Look forward to talking to you tomorrow.
unidentified
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Okay, there's a lot going on and we're going to get to some of it in the next hour.
I want you to stick around.
CNN had a poll out this morning.
It's pretty shocking.
55% of the American people do not want any more of their cash money going to Ukraine.
55-45, the American people are saying, hey, we've had enough of this, we've got enough problems at home.
We're going to do a deep drill down on Ukraine and what it means, what it means for the coming session of Congress when they come back, what it means for politics, what it means for the 2020 campaign.
And most importantly, what it means for the folks in Ukraine.
We're going to break it all down from Rome.
Ben Hardenwell is going to join me.
