|---|---|---|
| This is what you're fighting for. | ||
| I mean, every day you're out there. | ||
| What they're doing is blowing people off. | ||
| If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total power. | ||
| Because this is just like in Arizona. | ||
| This is just like in Georgia. | ||
| It's another element that backs them into a corner and shows their lies and misrepresentations. | ||
| This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. | ||
| As we've told you, this is the fight. | ||
|

|
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth. | |
| War Room, Battleground. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, uh, it's our evening show Friday, 6 October, Year of the Lord 2023. | ||
| It is a range war up here in Capitol Hill and, um, you're in the crosshairs. | ||
| They want to shut down the grassroots and want to take all voice you have away. | ||
| You have away from what is happening since you, you were the ones that, uh, disposed of. | ||
| And deposed a sitting Speaker of the House for the first time in history. | ||
| I want to bring in Eli Crane, Congressman from Arizona, was one of the one of the magnificent six back in January and one of the hard eight now. | ||
| Congressman Crane, can you walk us through the types of pressure you're being put under by the establishment right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, thanks for having me, Steve. | |
| Appreciate it. | ||
| I did want to come on and say thank you to the War Room Posse and point out and acknowledge the only way that A small force like six and eight and at our best 20 can ever go up against 200 or more. | ||
| And that's just in our own party is with your support. | ||
| You know, I'm watching the social media. | ||
| I'm watching you guys go after and bust up those that are attacking us. | ||
| And I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate it. | ||
| And to your question, Steve, yeah, it is a good amount of pressure. | ||
| You know, I come from a Background in Special Forces. | ||
| And so, you know, I've been in some pretty tight spots myself. | ||
| This is completely different in the, you know, type of pressure that it is. | ||
| But they, you know, it definitely rates. | ||
| And it definitely makes even guys that have been in really tight spots, you know, look for support. | ||
| And that's why this audience is so important. | ||
| But we've been getting threats. | ||
| You know, I know you guys have been reading about them, hearing about them. | ||
| And the cool thing is, Steve, it's like when you actually come into this line of work with low expectations, and you expect to go home, and you're okay with that, it makes you really valuable and really dangerous on the battlefield. | ||
| And I think that's why some of us have been able to pull off what we pulled off last week, because we're okay with standing in the gap, and we're okay if they send us home and send us packing, because if we don't do it, This country's over. | ||
| It's done. | ||
| So two things have developed this afternoon that are signal not noise, and I want to get to them in a second. | ||
| First off, I'll hold that there's a letter, you know, trashing the hard 8 by these establishment pencil necks. | ||
| I'll get to that in a second. | ||
| I think 40 of your colleagues signed it, trashing you guys, disparaging you guys, defaming you guys. | ||
| But I want to talk, more importantly, there's another letter I think signed by 20, and tomorrow morning, on tomorrow morning's show, I'm going to be able to go into more detail. | ||
| The substance of the letter is only like one paragraph long. | ||
| But as I checked around town and made calls... So correct me if I'm wrong. | ||
| Help me out here. | ||
| Last time in January we had a totally transparent process, or a lot of it was transparent votes, you know, people by name. | ||
| I'm hearing that what the K Street lobbyists have told people is you've got to take this all behind closed doors, all the speech has got to be behind closed doors, but the votes have to be anonymous, and nobody knows, and you keep going until you get to 218, then you just walk out the floor. | ||
| But they don't want any transparency, they don't want anything. | ||
| open about this. | ||
| Can you just walk our audience through what's happening? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, you know, so before you guys saw the speaker fight spill out on the House floor in January, we did vote for speaker in conference, and Kevin McCarthy never got 218 votes in conference. | |
| And so what I believe you're referring to, Steve, is, you know, via the influence of the lobbyists and just the establishment, they don't want the American people to see who's voting for who. | ||
| And it just it goes in line and with the theme of trying to keep you in the dark. | ||
| They don't want to be accountable for their votes. | ||
| It's exactly why they push omnibuses and CRs. | ||
| And, you know, so that's one of the reasons we've been fighting so hard to restore the House to regular order and transparency, because if you can't be transparent about your vote for a CR or an omnibus and, you know, and all the amendments within it, Or the appropriations bills or who you want to be speaker. | ||
| That's a problem when we're when we're there to represent the people in our districts and the people of this country. | ||
| Do you? | ||
| I mean you were at the tip of the spear for our national security and you had a very high security clearance. | ||
| You're now in the house. | ||
| From what you've seen, do you have any problem? | ||
| Having radical transparency so that your constituents out in Arizona could see everything that's going on and hear all the debates and see all the back and forth. | ||
| Do you have a problem with that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Not at all, because the reason I don't have a problem with it is one, that's the way it's supposed to work. | |
| This is the people's house. | ||
| We're supposed to represent them. | ||
| They know that we don't. | ||
| They know that the house doesn't Represent them, and that's why they want to keep it all cloaked. | ||
| They want it behind closed doors. | ||
| You know why, Steve? | ||
| Because it makes it easy for them to come back to their district and completely gaslight you, you know, and hope that you're watching Murdoch News or some other propaganda outlet so that, you know, that's giving them air cover so that they can come back to the district and tell you that they're fighting for you. | ||
| Meanwhile, they're voting for every single one of these, you know, these CRs, these omnibuses, And, you know, clearly they're most of them are owned and their votes go to the special interests, the lobbyists that actually fund their campaigns. | ||
| And, you know, because there's no transparency, it makes it easy for them to gaslight you. | ||
| You know, Jim Jordan used to be one of the big fighters for the, a champion of the right. | ||
| He was one of the founders of the House Freedom Caucus. | ||
| He went on Hannity last night and said, he started talking about a CR, another CR, and pitching another CR and how that's actually going to roll. | ||
| It looks like under him into January. | ||
| Or beyond. | ||
| A CR. | ||
| Not even Omnibus. | ||
| I mean CR, just contemporary. | ||
| He also said that he's open to removing the motion to vacate. | ||
| The one vote motion to vacate. | ||
| In addition, he said he's open to Ukraine funding, etc. | ||
| If this guy's the champion of the right, tell me what's happening up there right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, Steve, this just goes to show you, and it's one reason I wanted to, again, I asked you to come on your show so I could thank your audience, because this is how Washington is. | |
| This is how outnumbered we are up there. | ||
| And even when we get a pretty big win and remove a speaker who has shown that he has no desire at all to stop spending money that we don't have, he has no desire to honor the deals and His word. | ||
| Now we're right back in the mix of it with a group of names of, you know, people that have to get 218 votes. | ||
| And again, we're extremely out. | ||
| We find ourselves once again, extremely outnumbered, you know, it's usually five or maybe 10 of us. | ||
| And like I said, on a good day, 20 of us, but we have a conference of 208, you know, 222 people. | ||
| And so, um, you know, it's going to be, it's going to be a fight. | ||
| And I know I was listening to, I think, Matt Rosendale on your show last week, Steve, and he was talking about the number one thing he's looking for is, you know, honesty and somebody that has integrity because we know we're probably not going to get somebody that's super, you know, some super conservative superstar just based on, you know, the people that we have to work with, you know, and that's a lot of it's going to come from, you know, this audience right here and, you know, what they think and what the people in Arizona's | ||
| second congressional district think, you know, I'm going to be talking to a lot of people here in my district and trying to put them in the room and lay out for them, hey, this is, you know, this is the pro with this candidate. These are the downsides with this candidate over here. What do you guys think? But it's going to be tough. Just what's your sense of folks? I know you just got back, but what's your sense of folks of what's already transpired? | ||
| Not even going forward. | ||
| What's their take on, are they supportive of removing McCarthy? | ||
| And you were one of the linchpins of that. | ||
| Are they supportive of that? | ||
| And they think that at least that's the beginning of the right direction? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, Steve. | |
| When I go and ask the folks in my office who answer phones and You know, emails, and then I just talked to folks in my district office a couple hours ago. | ||
| It's about 80, 20, 80% of people, um, you know, are, you know, excited about what we did and are thanking us for having the courage that, you know, fight against the unit party. | ||
| And then obviously you can never please all of the people, but, you know, like I said, I didn't come here to be a career politician, Steve, I realized that. | ||
| Um, you know, by making moves like this, I'm probably not going to have that long of a political career and that's okay with me. | ||
| And, you know, even at the end of the day, Steve, if I'm able to bust up some of the unit party and then kind of like a wedge buster in football, and then somebody is able to come behind me and make the tackle. | ||
| I don't really care. | ||
| This isn't about Eli crane. | ||
| It's not about Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| It's not about the house freedom caucus. | ||
| This is about doing everything that we can and using every tool that we have. | ||
| To try and turn this thing around, because you know, you know, and your audience knows that if we don't turn this thing around, this country is done. | ||
| And this house of cards will collapse. | ||
| And it pisses me off that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, because they're so dialed in to their next election, or how much money the speaker was going to raise for him, or the fact that Fox News is saying this is embarrassing, that they don't, they're missing the signal. | ||
| They don't, they're not paying attention to the $33 trillion in debt $2 trillion annually, every single year, with no desire to even cut an ounce of it. | ||
| That's not sustainable. | ||
| Your constituents, given the makeup, and people should know, Eli's, I think, district is, I think, the largest in the country that's not an individual state. | ||
| I mean, maybe Rosendale's is close, but it's a massive, massive piece of territory with patriots and great Americans out there. | ||
| Do your constituents understand the depth of the fight that we got here? | ||
| That they're just not going to, just because we removed McCarthy, they're not going to pat us on the head and say, okay, Eli, whatever you, whatever you and the folks out there in Arizona too, whatever you guys think, it's your baby, here's the keys, you just take the house. | ||
| Do they understand we're in it now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, they absolutely do, Steve. | |
| And, you know, we actually had Congressman Gates out here a couple of weeks ago and he was blown away at the level of, Patriotism, you know, that are, uh, of the folks in my district, but also their understanding. | ||
| And they had zero, um, you know, they, they, they had zero sympathy, empathy for the federal government. | ||
| They are so tired of this federal government when we were talking about government shutdowns and, Hey, this might, this might be coming down the pipe. | ||
| These are some of the things that, you know, you probably should know about it. | ||
| The number one thing that we were hearing was we don't care. | ||
| Shut it down because they see it as they see it as completely fraud, waste and abuse of their tax dollars. | ||
| And they see it also as being weaponized against them. | ||
| And they think that they understand, Steve, that the only the only way we can turn this leviathan around is if we use the leverage that we have. | ||
| A couple of us did it last week, and you've seen the hornets nest You know, they just got they just got kicked going crazy because they're trying to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. | ||
| And so we're going to be in for another hell of a week, a hell of a fight. | ||
| And, you know, we appreciate the War Room audience. | ||
| And please keep, you know, sending sending your support, making the phone calls, you know, supporting us on social media, because like I said, if you guys don't, you know, there's no way we can compete with the size of the opposition. | ||
| Last thing I want to do, it's a short clip, it's about 90 seconds. | ||
| This is Hillary Clinton referring to your constituents, Eli. | ||
| I would like to play this and get your response. | ||
| Well, you saw the number of Republicans who voted along with Democrats to keep the government open. | ||
| So there's clearly a common sense sane part of the Republican caucus in the House. | ||
| But I think they are intimidated. | ||
| They oftentimes say and do things which they know better than to say or do. | ||
| And it will require us defeating those most extreme measures and the people who promote them in order to try to get to some common ground where people can again work together. | ||
| That's the way it used to be. | ||
| I mean, we had very strong partisans in both parties in the past. | ||
| And we had very bitter battles over all kinds of things, gun control and climate change and the economy and taxes. | ||
| But there wasn't this little tale of extremism waving, you know, wagging the dog of the Republican Party as it is today. | ||
| And sadly, so many of those extremists, those mega extremists, take their marching orders from Donald Trump, who has no credibility left by any measure. | ||
| He's only in it for himself. | ||
| He's now defending himself in civil actions and criminal actions. | ||
| And when do they break with him? | ||
| You know, because at some point, you know, maybe there needs to be a formal deprogramming of the cult members, but something needs to happen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And how do you do that? | |
| A formal deprogramming of the cult members, Eli, that would be your constituents in Arizona, too. | ||
| Your thoughts and observations on that, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think you just heard a modern totalitarian, a modern tyrant right there. | |
| And we all know that that's where this thing is heading. | ||
| And I think that's why the people in my district support myself and the other members who are doing, you know, taking such drastic measures to try and turn this thing around. | ||
| But I will tell you this, Steve, anytime Hillary Clinton is criticizing me, I must be doing something right, man. | ||
| You know, that's all I got to say about that. | ||
| And, you know, that actually lifts my spirits quite a bit, because to me, that woman is about as evil as they come. | ||
| We could go into that, but I know with your audience we don't need to. | ||
| Eli Crane, Congressman Eli Crane, honored to have you on here and say hi. | ||
| We'd love the folks out in Arizona to know you're getting some great feedback this weekend. | ||
| Social media, Congressman Crane, your site, where do people go to support you? | ||
| Where do they go to find out more about you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks Steve. | |
| Thanks War Room Posse, eli4arizona.com and Rep Eli Crane, God bless you guys, and let's get back at it next week. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Okay, brother. | ||
| This is going to be a big fight. | ||
| Tomorrow morning, 10 to noon, I'm going to go through all of this and break it down. | ||
| Also some capital markets, talk about how it's all inextricably linked. | ||
| Think about that for a second. | ||
| She's one of the most dialed-in people in the world. | ||
| That's the inner circle of the establishment, of the party of Davos, of the World Economic Forum, the globalists, the Wall Street crowd, the city of London, Brussels, you know, the south of France, all the great places up in Switzerland, Germany, all of it, all the money, all the money. | ||
| Think about it for a second. | ||
| All of that, and the American elite, and of course you've got Soros and all these guys in here. | ||
| Think about it for a second. | ||
| She's saying you. | ||
| And that comes from the New York Times piece today, that you're in the middle of it, and all the stories, whether it's Ukraine, no money for Ukraine, the money laundering operation over there, or the capital markets, they're now understanding the debt meltdown, how it's eviscerating the bond market, just value being destroyed everywhere. | ||
| And of course, Biden's building a wall now. | ||
| All driven by you. | ||
| All driven by patriots. | ||
| What have you done? | ||
| You work like crazy. | ||
| Played by the rules. | ||
| And you toppled... You toppled a sitting... | ||
| A Speaker of the House, for the first time in the history of this Republic, as divided as this Republic has been, as many tough fights as there have been in the 19th century, in the 20th century, Vietnam, or all of it, you, this audience, you, took down a sitting Speaker of the House who was the epitome of the system. | ||
| It wasn't like he was some rat. | ||
| It's not like William Jennings Bryan, you know, won the White House. | ||
| It's not like some outsider. | ||
| This is a guy, even though he's from Bakersfield, he bought into the system. | ||
| He was the pledge chairman, you know, in a frat. | ||
| He's like the pledge chairman for the Republican apparatus up here. | ||
| That this whole, whole thing in the last couple of days is, is remember they sent them all home. | ||
| They recessed them because they had to regroup. | ||
| They had a plan when they walked on that floor and they thought they were going to win the rules vote. | ||
| And then even with that, they thought, There would never be four, five, six, much less eight that would stand up to him. | ||
| And they got, what is it? | ||
| Was it Sonny Liston? | ||
| Does everybody's got a strategy in boxing until you get punched in the mouth? | ||
| That's what you saw. | ||
| They regrouped. | ||
| And here's the regroup. | ||
| The whole thing now is to trash. | ||
| There's a letter out. | ||
| I'll go into more on this tomorrow because we're going to name names that go through the congressman. | ||
| Forty of Eli Crane's Think of Eli Crane with his service record and what he's done overseas and on foreign battlefields. | ||
| What Eli Crane has sacrificed for this country. | ||
| They got 40 that are calling him a disgrace and abomination and embarrassing. | ||
| We're gonna have all 40 because to me, all 40 of those ought to be turfed out. | ||
| Just gone. | ||
| Don't need to hear any more about you. | ||
| That's only that. | ||
| Hey, gone. | ||
| We're tired of it. | ||
| We're tired of it. | ||
| You're telling me that, uh, Gates and, uh, and, and, and, and Rosendale and Good and Biggs and, and, and Eli Crane and Mason, that crowd, the eight that stood in the breach and took down this corrupt and incompetent and lying speaker of the house, that, that you should write a letter and sign your name to it, that they're a disgrace, right? | ||
| And they're setting up, remember, they're teeing this up so behind closed doors, they can change the rules. | ||
| So those folks don't get to vote. | ||
| They don't get to vote. | ||
| For the speaker. | ||
| This is what's coming. | ||
| It's all behind closed doors. | ||
| 202-225-3121. | ||
| Or get the local number and blow it up. | ||
| Blow their phones up. | ||
| Get there right now to them and say, hey, here's my point of view. | ||
| I want to see it all. | ||
| I want to see all the votes. | ||
| I want to see your votes. | ||
| I don't want you to lie to me. | ||
| Stand up. | ||
| I hired you as my congressman. | ||
| I want to see your vote. | ||
| I want to see it all. | ||
| We're big boys and girls. | ||
| We're a resilience. | ||
| Remember, resilience is a key term. | ||
| We're resilient. | ||
| We're resilient. | ||
| We're a resilient country. | ||
| We can handle it. | ||
| We can see the sausage being made. | ||
| Do you think the American people can't sit through what we sat through in January and see the horse training and see what happened and watch it? | ||
| It's mesmerizing. | ||
| It's civics. | ||
| It's what's called democracy. | ||
| We can handle that. | ||
| We're big boys and girls. | ||
| Do you think the MAGA audience, what happened the other night, had to sit there like these guys, David Joyce and Garrett, and they're sucking their thumbs and said, emotions are very raw. | ||
| Emotions are very raw. | ||
| We think people have to go home, but people, this is shocking to people. | ||
| You know what's shocking to them? | ||
| It was shocking to their paymasters. | ||
| It was shocking to the K Street lobbyists, who are the conduits to the Wall Street money and the corporatist money. | ||
| That's what's in shock. | ||
| They never thought you at the Pitchforks would ever stand up. | ||
| And you did stand up. | ||
| And they don't like it. | ||
| And so now they're going to go behind. | ||
| They're going to have a mean and one reason. | ||
| So we have to get behind here. | ||
| What they're trying to do is make sure Eli Crane and the hard A can't vote. | ||
| What they're going to do is the number one thing they got to do, the run run, got to get rid of that motion of vacate, that one rule, that one person motion of vacate. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| Because that gives you power. | ||
| That gives you power. | ||
| Why are they spending so much time on this? | ||
| Why do we fight so hard for it in January? | ||
| Fight so incredibly hard for it? | ||
| Because it gave you leverage. | ||
| It gave you power. | ||
| And they know that. | ||
| This is what I was saying the other day. | ||
| You notice on here we didn't do a lot of celebrating because it's nothing to celebrate. | ||
| This is a tough moment in American history. | ||
| That was a huge win for us. | ||
| But we said, even that night, we're not going to rest. | ||
| You're not going to lean on your pitchfork. | ||
| Can't lean? | ||
| No leaning on your pitchfork. | ||
| Get the bandana out, wipe your brow off, and we've got to get moving again. | ||
| It's going to be tough all weekend. | ||
| See, they're working non-stop because they have a $7 trillion. | ||
| It's more than that. | ||
| I'm just taking the federal budget. | ||
| They've got so many side pockets on things. | ||
| They've got stuff of the Federal Reserve. | ||
| They can't even count. | ||
| The Pentagon can't do an audit. | ||
| The Federal Reserve can't do an audit. | ||
| Are you kidding me? | ||
| Is your life comported like that? | ||
| Do you understand how out of control this thing is? | ||
| They can't audit the Federal Reserve. | ||
| They can't audit the Fed. | ||
| They'll tell you right there. | ||
| Impossible to audit. | ||
| Can't audit the Federal Reserve with $9.5 trillion sitting on their balance sheet. | ||
| Can't audit the Federal Reserve. | ||
| Can't audit the Defense Department. | ||
| Have no earthy idea where that is. | ||
| Can't audit Ukraine. | ||
| Gosh, only gave them $115 billion, $120 billion. | ||
| This guy don't know. | ||
| Can't do it. | ||
| Impossible. | ||
| Is that how when the IRS guy comes and knocks on your door and wants those taxes? | ||
| Did they take that as, I can't audit, I tried, but I'm very busy, I'm doing this, I'm coaching Little League, I'm doing all that. | ||
| Did they sit there and look for your rationale? | ||
| Did they give you an option of not doing it? | ||
| Is it an option? | ||
| When April 15th comes around, is that an option? | ||
| Or October 15th of the business, is that an option? | ||
| There's no optionality in that. | ||
| You're doing it. | ||
| You're gonna comply or you're gonna have penalties. | ||
| Here, you got trillions that can't put handles on, can't put a handle on. | ||
| Forget billions or hundreds of billions, trillions. | ||
| It is so, and here's the reason, it's incompetent for a reason. | ||
| Because they're stealing with both hands. | ||
| They're stealing with both hands. | ||
| They're stealing with both hands. | ||
| And laughing at you. | ||
| Do you honestly think in their mind, in those conniving, cunning minds, do you think right now they think you're winning? | ||
| You've shocked them. | ||
| You scared them. | ||
| McCarthy's up there right now. | ||
| He's planning a restoration. | ||
| If he can't do it through the vehicle, Jim Jordan, his guys are going to, he says, Hey, if it gets locked up, they can't go. | ||
| Maybe I can come up as a unifying thing. | ||
| And we've trashed these people as agents of chaos. | ||
| I can return. | ||
| McCarthy is plotting non-stop for this. | ||
| And the Fox News guys, oh yeah, you know, Jim Jordan, tell me, is Jim Jordan for motion to vacate? | ||
| Would you agree to that one? | ||
| Is Jim Jordan, he's talking on Handy last night about a CR, a CR that goes into January. | ||
| Dude, call them all back, you want to be a leader, get it, and let's work all weekend. | ||
| Hell, I've pulled enough all-nighters in my life. | ||
| Let's just get in there and go all weekend. | ||
| The War Room Posse, remember two weeks ago, you stayed up to two and three, four in the morning watching the appropriations. | ||
| We had huge crowds on Rumble, huge crowds on Getter. | ||
| People out there giving their opinion, watching the amendment process, votes up, votes down. | ||
| Hard work, but that's how it gets done. | ||
| We can do it. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| We can do it. | ||
| You can do it. | ||
| Not going to do it? | ||
| Why aren't they going to do it? | ||
| They want to roll into another crisis. | ||
| Gosh, it's Thanksgiving. | ||
| It's Christmas, you know. | ||
| We need another CR. | ||
| It's past the 17th. | ||
| 17th of November is miles away. | ||
| We've got plenty of time. | ||
| Pass the bills. | ||
| Get them to the Senate. | ||
| Let the Senate do the work. | ||
| They're not doing anything. | ||
| I haven't passed anything. | ||
| You think they have any interest in following regular order? | ||
| No, because regular order means you actually see what's going on. | ||
| I got a question. | ||
| Has anybody called you for a town hall to ask you your opinion? | ||
| They're supposed to be back socializing this? | ||
| That's what McHenry told me. | ||
| Are they back there asking for your opinion? | ||
| They are not. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| They don't give a damn about your opinion. | ||
| In fact, your opinion is the last thing they care about. | ||
| They want to come back there and tell you they're for a limited government and they're for fiscal responsibility. | ||
| To hell with you. | ||
| You're not for any of it. | ||
| You're not for any of it. | ||
| And don't insult me by trying to gaslight me. | ||
| Just go over to the happy talk over the Murdoch News Network. | ||
| Oh, this is chaotic. | ||
| This is embarrassing. | ||
| Just like in January. | ||
| Just like in January. | ||
| The Murdochs, the foreigners, don't want you to have any power. | ||
| None. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return to the War Room. | ||
| Just a moment. | ||

War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained, you will suffer a defeat. | ||
| If you know neither, the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. | ||
| I jumped out of the darkness, rose into the light. | ||
| You need to understand you're being manipulated and if you don't understand how you're being manipulated you're never going to be able to fight it. | ||
| Okay, welcome back I'm honored to have the director, Mike Smith, a former stuntman, the director of Into the Light and also the, I guess it's not a sequel, but the first film that teed it up was Out of Shadows, which was stunning. | ||
| Mike, thank you for joining us here in the War Room. | ||
| Really honored. | ||
| Tell us about the, I want to talk about the new film and how it connects to the original film, kind of your body of work. | ||
| Can you walk us through it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you for having me, Steve. | ||
| I want to say I'm a big fan of what you guys and what the War Room does. | ||
| And I was very honored to, to, to, to come on and be, be a part of this. | ||
| I am captivated by a lot of things that you, you're, you know, you guys are on the front line of, and I know that you guys take a lot of heat and I just want to say, I appreciate you. | ||
| And I really, I thank you for the fight that you're putting up because there's not a lot of us, but we're growing. | ||
| And I worked in Hollywood for 30 years. | ||
| I was in the Screen Actors Guild, the Writers Guild, Directors Guild, and I still am a member of the Academy. | ||
| I just haven't voted in like four years. | ||
| But yeah, I mean, Out of Shadows was a different film. | ||
| It was more of a story of my awakening and kind of how I came to realize The powers that in the struggle, the spiritual battle that we really are in in this nation right now. | ||
| And so I put that film out about three and a half years ago and I started working on it five years ago. | ||
| But this new film out of shutters got me access to a group of individuals that could really answer some of the questions that I wanted answered from a. Just from a background of historical perspective, Um, the thing that's really difficult to come to terms with is I don't care if you're on the left, I don't care if you're on the right or you're in the middle. | ||
| We've all been lied to through the media and through music and through social media. | ||
| To some degree, we all believe things to be true that are not true. | ||
| And what I want people to understand is it's not your fault that you can't see this. | ||
| We were born into this and everybody, you know, under the age of 80 has Grown up television set in their den or in their house. | ||
| And that's how we receive our stories through our televisions and through our radios and through our newspapers and print and our ads. | ||
| So until you understand the manipulation or the techniques and the tactics that are used subconsciously on the population, you don't understand how to process What is true and what is not true, and how to discern over that information. | ||
| So, into the light, I got to have conversations with General Flynn. | ||
| I got to talk with Lara Logan. | ||
| I got to talk with Intel experts, Dr. Keith Rhodes and Boone Cutler, who wrote a book with General Flynn called Fifth Generational Warfare. | ||
| And I think they're on their second edition right now. | ||
| And then Brian Gamble, who is a Naval Data Analyst, Intel guy. | ||
| So when we went into these things, you know, you don't, you have questions and you don't really understand what they're going to say. | ||
| And the information that they laid out for me is all just factual information that people can go back and look at and research. | ||
| But I feel like until the public really understands what Types of manipulation and how to identify it. | ||
| It's like that trailer you just saw. | ||
| It's like, you know, I've been in martial arts my whole life. | ||
| And I know that if you don't know your enemy, you're not going to be able to beat your enemy. | ||
| And the biggest problem is if you don't know your enemy and you don't know what he's doing to you, you don't understand how to fight back or identify that. | ||
| And I think this movie, Into the Light, is a tool that starts a conversation. | ||
| Of course we could have gone deeper, but the film's only an hour. | ||
| So I wanted to just open a door and say, look, you've been manipulated. | ||
| Whether you like it or not, it's not your fault. | ||
| These are operations. | ||
| These are techniques that have been developed over many, many decades. | ||
| And now with social media and AI, it's really gotten advanced. | ||
| And this movie's a warning. | ||
| What it shows you is happening in real time. | ||
| And I think that people need to be aware of it. | ||
| Because if we don't stand up and fight right now, and we don't get together right now, our grandkids and our grandkids' grandkids are not going to have a republic that we know. | ||
| And to be honest, I was asleep. | ||
| I was a horrible steward. | ||
| I wasn't into politics. | ||
| I wasn't into any of this stuff. | ||
| But when I realized What they're really trying to do to this country, how far the Marxist left is trying to take this, that's not what the Founding Fathers founded this nation under. | ||
| This nation was founded under Christian principles. | ||
| And that's what gives people the right to have the ability to have a difference of opinion. | ||
| Because if this was a communist agenda or that type of government, you don't get an opinion. | ||
| You get what they tell you you get. | ||
| Are you saying, I just want to make sure, in the film Into the Light, the first film, Out of Shadows, was about your awakening. | ||
| This, you're actually laying this problem through. | ||
| Are you making the case, and are the Laura Logans and the General Flynn's backing it up, that this is like, I don't know, fifth generation warfare against the American citizen, that a corporate Absolutely, and it's not just here in America, it's global. | ||
| state, deep state apparatus is using like fifth-generation warfare to manipulate and get the consent of the American people to enslave themselves? Is that what you're trying to get at? Absolutely and it's not just here in America, it's global. It's all over the world. Out of Shadows touches on some real issues Let me back up real quick. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So in Out of Shadows, we talked about things, whether, and I try to take the position, I'm not telling you what to think about these things, but the things that we talked about, Operation Mockingbird, that is real. | |
| Whether you want to believe what you want to believe about it, that's a real thing. | ||
| Operation Mockingbird is real. | ||
| Operation Paperclip is real. | ||
| Operation MKUltra is real. | ||
| Human trafficking and satanic ritual abuse. | ||
| Those are real things out of shadows just exposes people to these topics into the light takes it deeper into the media mass manipulation that these corporate elites have utilized the techniques and tools that they use. | ||
| I heard you talking about Murdoch media. | ||
| I mean all the this is what I'm talking about. | ||
| These these corporate companies big corporations. | ||
| Own almost all, if not all, of the media. | ||
| And they own the gateways, and they own the internet. | ||
| So the information is being manipulated. | ||
| Did we just lose him? | ||
| Are you still there, Matt? | ||
| Are you still there, Mike? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm here. | |
| Yeah, I'm here. | ||
| Yeah, we just lost you. | ||
| Yeah, yeah, we just lost you for a second. | ||
| Go back to Murdoch. | ||
| You're saying that what? | ||
| That even conservative news, conservative media is manipulation? | ||
|
unidentified
|
All of it. | |
| All of it's been manipulated. | ||
| It doesn't matter. | ||
| If the corporate media is owned by these multi-billion dollar corporations that have been influencing, and whether they've been infiltrated, Or taking over, or we're that way to begin with. | ||
| I don't have that information, but I can tell you this. | ||
| All of those major corporations that run the major media companies are manipulating the population, whether it's for good or evil. | ||
| That's how it happens. | ||
| You can use these tools to message good things, or you can use these tools to message bad things. | ||
| And you don't get the platform on a major outlet unless you are serving their narrative or their agenda. | ||
| Because as soon as you go against it, Out of Shadows got me banned on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, and PayPal. | ||
| So, I mean, you can be the judge of that, but that was, why was that message so scary to the establishment? | ||
| Because it got viewed over 100 million times While we were still tracking the analytics, it had so many aggregates and it had gone out so wide, they couldn't get a hold of it. | ||
| But this movie, End of the Light, they don't want this movie out because this movie really does address and point out how the manipulation works, why they're manipulating us, and who's doing it. | ||
| How do people, you're launching the film now, I want to make sure because we had quite a run on Sound of Freedom and yours is, Sound of Freedom is one aspect of this and it's a very dark aspect, yours kind of covers it all so the suppression of this is going to be even worse than Sound of Freedom. | ||
| How do people, how do you intend to distribute this film? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, two things. | |
| Well, I would say that Out of Shadows kind of prepped the space for Sound of Freedom because people saw in Out of Shadows some of the topics that Sound of Freedom covered, which is awesome. | ||
| Because we were facing such heavy censorship, we built our own system to host this film and stream this film to the public. | ||
| So when the public goes to it, it's on our servers, it's on our own code, and on our own payment processing system. | ||
| So when you register for the film, you just go to into the light dot movie. | ||
| And I, and if, if there's a promo code like backslash Bannon or whatever we have, that's how you find this film. | ||
| And it's, it's very simple. | ||
| We made it very easy into the light dot movie, and you can go there. | ||
| You can, you can, it's, it's $4.99 to, to watch a three-day rental or it's $9.99 to purchase. | ||
| Or we also have a pay-it-forward pool that we're doing campaigns to send this film to different groups across the United States and the world. | ||
| So we've been trying to make it very interactive and interesting, but... And by the way, you can also, if you go to intothelight.movie, you can watch Out of Shadows. | ||
| I put it on there. | ||
| It's still free. | ||
| You can just watch it. | ||
| But intothelight.movie is how you find the film. | ||
| People to see this as possible. | ||
| How do we get, and you said that there's a way for us to push this out. | ||
| What's the best way to push it out or get people to see it? | ||
| Cause we need, we need is like in sound of freedom. | ||
| We need Matt. | ||
| We need a critical mass of folks here to watch this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's right. | |
| If you, if you watch the film and you enjoy it, I encourage every person to buy purchase codes and push it out to your friends, your family members, your colleagues, your coworkers. | ||
| And if you don't have that. | ||
| Put it into our pool and we'll send it out. | ||
| We have a campaign where we want to send this film to every member of Congress. | ||
| We want to send this to different state legislators. | ||
| We want to get this message to the people and push it out and it's going to have to be grassroots. | ||
| My goal, if I could get this in every church, I want this movie to go to every church because that's where the real | ||
| Message needs to come and that's what I believe God was saying to me He said don't go to the big media corporations because if I sell this movie To say at HBO or to Netflix or to somebody the first thing they're going to do is Pay me some money and then shelve it and it's not going to get seen so I'd rather just be patient be slow and push it out there and you know if we could get everybody pushing it together and | ||
| This thing will go, you know, I think the message is solid. | ||
| And I think people are, I mean, we've gotten incredible responses to the film. | ||
| Now, the only thing I have seen is people attack the people in the film, but the information in the film, nobody's attacked it because you can't. | ||
| The, the, is the film available? | ||
| Like our show's about to end here. | ||
| Can people get, can they get the film tonight and actually share it tonight? | ||
| Can they actually watch it tonight? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Go to endothelight.movie and you can watch it right now. | |
| It's an hour and seven minutes. | ||
| I've had a chance to see this and of course Lara Logan, I mean, and your theory's right, you got Lara Logan, Tucker, once they get rid of these people, you know, CBS got rid of Lara, Fox got rid of Tucker, they don't want to hear anybody that's not with the program. | ||
| One more time, social media, all of it, I want to make sure people over the weekend immerse themselves in this and we'll have you back on Next week, Mike. | ||
| And I think we're trying to get General Flynn and Lara on, uh, to talk about the film also. | ||
| So, so where do people go, how they follow you on social media, how they share this over the Columbus day holiday? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I, you just go to endofthelight.movie. | ||
| Um, and, and, and you're right. | ||
| I did talk to General Flynn. | ||
| He is going to join us. | ||
| And I think Lara is also, I spoke with her earlier today. | ||
| Um, so go to endofthelight.movie. | ||
| Watch the film, share the film, get it out there. | ||
| If you're interested in hosting a screening or you want us to come and hold a panel for your group or your school or your church, there's a way on the website you can fill out a form and we can get a hold of you. | ||
| We'd love to come, just grassroots campaign. | ||
| Steve, I really appreciate you, man. | ||
| I want this to... I just want this message to get out and I think it's a message that's very pertinent to what's happening in this world right now. | ||
| Mike, the War Room and the War Impostor, you put their shoulder. | ||
| This is a film people got to see. | ||
| So we're in the middle of this fight now, and this is the type of film that sets the, kind of sets the framework to make sure you understand the fifth generation warfare that's being visited upon the global MAGA, the Populist Nationalist Movement. | ||
| And basically, it's all citizens, but the only ones that seem to be awakening are the Populist Nationalist Movement. | ||
| So I want to thank you, one, for making the film, and two, for coming on here. | ||
| We'll have you on next week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I love it, brother. | |
| Thank you, and I appreciate you. | ||
| Thank you so much, and thank you, War Room. | ||
| Thank you, man. | ||
| Mike Smith, into the light. | ||
| Let's get, if Grace, and I think actually Moe, Captain Bannon, I think is at West Point this weekend. | ||
| I think it's Alumni Weekend. | ||
| They go back for the volleyball and all that stuff. | ||
| Mo is, I think Grace is, to the 15 jobs that Grace Chung has, I think we've given her the 16th job. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody on the team, let's push this out. | ||
| Get access to it. | ||
| I want people to see this. | ||
| It'll blow you away. | ||
| It's tremendously directed and produced, but it's also got some of the strongest voices in our movement. | ||
| Lara Logan, Mike Flynn, and others. | ||
| So you don't want to miss this. | ||
| I was going to play Gutfeld again. | ||
| I'll wait for that tomorrow. | ||
| And Hillary Clinton. | ||
| We're going to have a discussion on that, what happened today here with Newsweek Magazine, Bill Arkin. | ||
| It's been quite a day. | ||
| Remember, the Fight Club, fights that matter. | ||
| And we're in a fight right now. | ||
| You cannot rest on your pitchfork. | ||
| And we're going to have more to say about that tomorrow, about the specifics of what actually happened. | ||
| We know you want the inside baseball. | ||
| We're going to give it to you. | ||
| We're also going to give you how you can get, you know, become activated. | ||
| They do not want you to have power. | ||
| You've taken power. | ||
| It shocked them. | ||
| But it's like an amphibious assault where you have the landing team and you get a beachhead. | ||
| You're essentially on Omaha Beach right now. | ||
| Metaphorically. | ||
| Where you're right underneath that seawall. | ||
| And remember they told the troops, I think it was the 29th Infantry Division, that there's two types of people on this beach. | ||
| Those that are dead and those that are going to die. | ||
| And we've got to get some Bangalore torpedoes and we've got to pierce, we've got to pierce that seawall and we've got to get up on that ridge where the German army is machine gunning us. | ||
| And we've got to do it. | ||
| Right now, you've taken the beach. | ||
| The question is, can we move inland? | ||
| That's the question. | ||
| The house money, the house odds here in the imperial capital says you can't. | ||
| Says you pretty good. | ||
| Pulled it off. | ||
| They didn't catch it. | ||
| They were asleep. | ||
| But they ain't gonna be asleep this time. | ||
| They're pulling every trick in the book. | ||
| That's why make sure you light up your congressman over the weekend saying, hey, how come you haven't been around here to have a town hall? | ||
| Are you having a town hall? | ||
| You having a Zoom call? | ||
| Don't even have a town hall. | ||
| Just get on Zoom and let all your constituents. | ||
| You'll get four or five thousand. | ||
| Posse members per district. | ||
| They'll do that, particularly down the South and the Intermountain West. | ||
| There won't be any problem with that. | ||
| No problem whatsoever. | ||
| Just call their office, see if they're setting that up. | ||
| Tell them you'd like to be on that. | ||
| Just to listen and you want to hear their... And tell them you want to hear about the radical transparency. | ||
| Remember, they'll go back to that district, they're going to tell you everything in the world. | ||
| It's like Swickard. | ||
| Swickard's going to be up here in Arizona. | ||
| He's going to be talking debt. | ||
| He's got charts. | ||
| It's all over. | ||
| He gives it every night. | ||
| It's magnificent. | ||
| Better than I give it. | ||
| Then he votes for the debt deal. | ||
| How does that work? | ||
| I asked somebody, how does that work? | ||
| And they said, well, they know that nobody will figure out how he votes. | ||
| Nobody pays attention. | ||
| Just go back and gaslight you. | ||
| Dem Days is over. | ||
| We'll go into details tomorrow. | ||
| Much, much more. | ||
| You're not going to want to miss, as you know, as much as I love the daily shows here, the four hours get all jacked up. | ||
| Saturday's my favorite show. | ||
| So we'll be back here tomorrow at 10 o'clock. | ||
| I want to thank The team over at Birchgold, and particularly I'm very proud of what we've done in the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| It's been prescient. | ||
| If you look at the topics we talked about, the debt ceiling, the politics of money, the debt trap, and particularly the fourth installment, the assassination of American prosperity. | ||
| We go back to 1971 and give you a wake-up call. | ||
| You'll kind of understand why that dollar you got doesn't quite buy as much as it did when you were a kid. | ||
| Right, or when your parents were younger. | ||
| How about that? | ||
| You'll understand it. | ||
| Make sure you go to birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Check it all out. | ||
| Find out why the Federal Reserve is printing money and focused on a central bank digital currency to monitor and track you. | ||
| While the BRICS Nation's Central Banks are buying gold. | ||
| That's Philip Patrick and the team. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're gonna be back here. | ||
| We're gonna wrap up this week. | ||
| It's been quite a week. | ||
| A historic week. | ||
| Be back here. | ||
| On station. | ||
| Ready to rock and roll. | ||
| 10 a.m. | ||
| Eastern Daylight Time tomorrow morning. | ||
| We'll be back in the War Room. |
