President Biden's campaign is downplaying a very grim new poll showing Donald Trump leading in multiple battleground states. | |
| But many Democrats are sounding the alarm, including David Axelrod, the chief strategist for the 2012 Obama-Biden presidential campaign, who tweeted that the poll, quote, will send tremors of doubt through the party. | ||
| David is joining us right now. | ||
| David, thanks very much for joining us. | ||
| These are very brutal poll numbers. | ||
| This is a New York Times Siena College poll. | ||
| The results for the president are pretty bad. | ||
| You suggested he should at least consider dropping out while also saying it's his decision. | ||
| But as a Democrat concerned about Donald Trump, what do you want Biden to do? | ||
| I want him to consider what is best in terms of the goal that I know he is committed to, which is defeating Donald Trump. | ||
| And if he believes based on not just what's in his heart, but what's in data and what he's being told, that he has the best chance to do it. | ||
| Then he should run. | ||
| But the thing that irritates me a little bit, Wolf, is this notion that people who are concerned are bedwetters is a phrase. | ||
| Actually, I think it originated in the 2008 Obama campaign in a much different context. | ||
| There is reason to be concerned, and people shouldn't dismiss these polls. | ||
| And should the president press forward, I think that they need to really kick this another notch up and turn this into a comparative campaign. | ||
| The Biden White House is actually debating whether Joe Biden should attack Donald Trump or not. | ||
| This reminds me of 1988, and Michael Dukakis saying, I'm not going to answer those Bush attacks, saying I'm unpatriotic, while he's going to flag factories all over the country. | ||
| And Dukakis just, he kept mowing his lawn with his push mower going, I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to answer those attacks. | ||
| You got to answer those attacks. | ||
| And like whoever inside the White House is telling Joe Biden not to attack Donald Trump? | ||
| Stop it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Seriously, stop it, alright? | |
| And maybe start a lawn service with push lawnmowers. | ||
| Because you don't know what you're doing, you don't know what you're talking about, and you're costing the president. | ||
| You really are. | ||
| You're costing him points. | ||
| This is a political battle to the end. | ||
| Donald Trump is trying to destroy Joe Biden. | ||
| I'm not exactly sure, Willie, who inside the White House is saying, hey, when you go up against the champ, Mike Tyson in 91, Muhammad Ali in like 73, you should fight by Marcus of Queensberry rules. | ||
| No! | ||
| You gotta go after him. | ||
| No holds barred. | ||
| And yet, Willie, they're still trying to debate, do we play nice in this campaign or do we actually take it to a guy that stole nuclear secrets, has been accused of being a rapist by a New York judge, and has 91 felony counts against him charged? | ||
| It's not hard. | ||
| I don't think this is hard, and I'm not sure who inside the White House is making this hard. | ||

|
Donald Trump and our case against him, other defendants, and the Trump Organization. | |
| He rambled. | ||
| He hurled insults. | ||
| Um, but we expected that. | ||
| At the end of the day, um, the documentary evidence demonstrated that in fact he falsely inflated his assets to basically enrich himself and his family. | ||
| You continue to persistently engage in fraud. | ||
| The numbers don't lie. | ||
| And Mr. Trump obviously can engage in all of these distractions, and that is exactly what he did, what he committed on the stand today, engaging in distractions and engaging in name-calling. | ||
| I will not be bullied. | ||
| I will not be harassed. | ||
| This case will go on. | ||
| We look forward to hearing the testimony of Ivanka Trump on Wednesday, and then we plan on closing our case. | ||
| And then there'll be some motions on Thursday, and then the defense will present their case in chief. | ||
| Justice will prevail. | ||
| And it's important that all of you understand that we have already been victorious in our motion for summary judgment. | ||
| And now we look forward to disgorgement and to the remaining counts in our action against Donald Trump and his repeated and consistent fraud against the citizens of the great state of New York. | ||
| She says he's going to bring out racial slurs. | ||
| He's going to say things today and taunt her. | ||
| Well, Ms. | ||
| James, you taunted him. | ||
| Before you came into office, before you saw one record, one statement of financial condition, you taunted him. | ||
| You said his administration was too male and too pale. | ||
| Those are her words. | ||
| She said that she and Michael Cohen We're going to be his biggest nightmare. | ||
| Well, I have some news for you, Ms. | ||
| James. | ||
| Michael Cohen folded, lied, and crumbled. | ||
| Your star witness, along with all the DAs and corrupt AGs, need to be paying attention to what happens when you let us take the stand. | ||
| When you let my client speak the truth, and the judge can tell me to sit down, and he can try and shorten my client's testimony, but it is loud and clear. | ||
| They've got nothing. | ||
| They've got nothing but their politics. | ||
| She's got nothing but her Soros backing, which we discovered recently. | ||
| And I am sick and tired of seeing it. | ||
| Pay attention, America. | ||
| Pay attention. | ||
| Because when you're in court one of these days, and you don't have a lawyer that has a microphone, and you don't have a lawyer that can go on TV, and you've got judges gagging them, what are you going to do? | ||
| We need to fix this country. | ||
| And we need to stop what is happening in this courtroom. | ||
| President Trump is worth a lot more and she wasn't ready for it. | ||
| She doesn't understand it. | ||
| And before she rushed to judgment, she should have thought about attacking somebody with over 50 years of real estate expertise who changed single-handedly the skyline of New York City. | ||
| She picked the wrong person, and her politics will fail for it. | ||
| So let's be clear about why the judge said that. | ||
| that President Trump's longer answers, that he draws negative inferences from his longer answers. | ||
| So let's be clear about why the judge said that. The judge doesn't like when President Trump explains what actually happened because it's not good for his narrative. | ||
| This is a judge who clearly has an issue. | ||
| If you've seen his behavior with me, you've seen his behavior with the president today. | ||
| He has a clear issue with facts that are not good for the case because he already predetermined. | ||
| And I want everyone to understand this is yes, we do not have a jury. | ||
| Yes, we do not have a lot of things that we should because they brought it under Section 6312. | ||
| But this judge decided this case and liability before we walked up those stairs. | ||
| I didn't have a shot. | ||
| So right now we're sitting here doing a whole dance and the only thing they want are facts that are bad for Trump. | ||
| That's why he's silencing him. | ||
| That's why he's telling him short answers. | ||
| And that's why he's clearly enraged. | ||
| His face is red. | ||
| He came in hot and he doesn't know how to handle him. | ||
| I've been personally hurt by the current president's policies compared to 35% who have been helped. | ||
| We'll talk about that. | ||
| On the flip side, 51% of those same voters say Trump's policies have helped them, while 34% say the opposite. | ||
| And this is the reason our phones were exploding yesterday with people really, really freaked out and upset. | ||
| And it does beg the question. | ||
| If there are Democrats out there who are concerned or even moderate Republicans about the difference between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, I think that the real concern here is disinformation, the electorate being poisoned. | ||
| I mean, it's not like the contrast between these two are Republican and Democrat and conservative versus liberal policies. | ||
| It's not. | ||
| I mean, President Biden. | ||
| has accomplished a lot in his presidency and there are those who would say it's even historic. | ||
| And then you have a guy with 91 counts against him, liable for fraud, liable for sexual abuse. | ||
| I mean, I could go on for four hours. | ||
| Judge said he raped a woman. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And that's where the concern is here, that there's a lot of different layers. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| You're not going to 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. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big line? | ||
|
unidentified
|
MAGA Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Okay, it's Tuesday, 7 November, Year of the Lord 2023. | ||
| We join you from the Ahern Hotel here in Las Vegas, Nevada. | ||
| We're here today, the war room is here for a couple of things. | ||
| Most importantly for Cary Lake, the Cary Lake is having a big event this afternoon. | ||
| In fact, The hotel's been nice enough to expand a little bit so we still have some more space for all the war room posse. | ||
| And we'll get the details up there. | ||
| Thank you very much for joining us. | ||
| We haven't had you on since you announced for Senate. | ||
| I know! | ||
| Well, there's been a lot going on and this is perfect. | ||
| You're doing bigger shows, that's okay. | ||
| That's not true. | ||
| I've actually been saying I've got to get back on with the war room posse. | ||
| And everywhere I go, Steve, the posse is so strong. | ||
| You have led a movement, and so I've been dying to get back on. | ||
| Thanks for having me. | ||
| No, we're just kidding. | ||
| I want to talk, let's talk about that cold open right there. | ||
| Rahim Kassam is going to join us in a moment. | ||
| But Carrie, yesterday President Trump goes thunderdome in the courtroom. | ||
| The crazy Nazi show trial Soviet judge just lost it. | ||
| Can Letitia James and that crazy judge, can they control Donald Trump? | ||
| No, I mean, he's a giant. | ||
| He is, he's right on everything. | ||
| They know they have a BS case and they're trying to convince the public that President Trump's guilty. | ||
| And he went out, he went, you're right, he went full beast mode yesterday. | ||
| But when you see this judge, he's such a weak person. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| And you just compare them. | ||
| You've got the strength of Donald Trump, the alpha male, and then you have this like beta guy sitting on the bench. | ||
| I'm sure he was shaking. | ||
| By the time the day was over. | ||
| He was shaking. | ||
| He lost it. | ||
| He broke in the middle of the trial. | ||
| Because Trump has his way of answering questions, right? | ||
| So he went into a lot of detail on very many things. | ||
| The whole trial's not a joke anywhere from a business perspective. | ||
| And I don't think that Letitia James or the judge really even understand real estate. | ||
| They don't understand deals like the kind President Trump has put together over the course of his life. | ||
| I mean, he's truly one of the best dealmakers. | ||
| They don't understand this stuff. | ||
| But isn't this the same? | ||
| You see all the demographics of people moving states, changing states. | ||
| They're all going to red states. | ||
| I mean, isn't the same thing kind of in Arizona? | ||
| You've got, you know, Katie Hobbs. | ||
| You have this disastrous governor in New York. | ||
| You have Letitia James. | ||
| You have a radical attorney general in Arizona. | ||
| Anytime you look in Colorado, you look where they're trying to take Trump off the ballot, wherever you have these radical Democrats, you get the same thing, right? | ||
| Bad business community, bad economics, and no rule of law. | ||
| That's the scariest part. | ||
| No rule of law. | ||
| And when the courts are as corrupt as they are right now, I don't know how we find our way out of this except to vote this coming election like our lives, our country, our children's lives depend on it. | ||
| Even more so than we have, and I know we haven't fixed a lot of the problems, but when we the people rise up and say we are going to vote in such huge numbers that they cannot Well, you see, Morning Mika, you saw her. | ||
| We played this. | ||
| This is the clip from yesterday. | ||
| We played it a couple times. | ||
| She's losing it, right? | ||
| It's disinformation and they've been poisoned. | ||
| Hey baby, you control all the mainstream media. | ||
| You control all of it. | ||
| We've got Little War Room and a couple of other podcasts around here. | ||
| Even Fox is terrible. | ||
| With the disinformation stuff though, I don't know if you saw the great thread that Jim Jordan put out. | ||
| I really highly recommend go to Twitter. | ||
| Jim Jordan put out a great thread. | ||
| Talk about fascism. | ||
| The government working in conjunction with Big Tech. | ||
| We've all known this. | ||
| But it was the government behind the scenes working with Big Tech. | ||
| DHS. | ||
| Actually, some of the people involved, shocking in Maricopa County elections. | ||
| I mean, Stephen Richer, the guy who's trying to sue me for defamation, was involved in some of these truth squads. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| We're now finding out that the Chief Justice of the Arizona Supreme Court put together one of these truth squads, these misinformation commissions. | ||
| And it just happened to come out before the 2020 election. | ||
| It was meant to keep anybody who had something to say or wanted to put their concerns about COVID or the elections to actually shut them up. | ||
| It was to rig the election for Biden. | ||
| It was a rigged election against Trump. | ||
| We're going to get to that. | ||
| Rahimi Kassam is going to join us. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| I hate to gloat. | ||
| But Bloomberg's lead story this morning, ladies and gentlemen, is that the interest on the debt in this fiscal year is going to be over, wait for it, $1 trillion. | ||
| Stephen King Bennett told you that 90 days ago, when everybody laughed, $1 trillion as of today. | ||
| And I'm telling you, It's going to be 1.2 to 1.5 trillion when we finish this fiscal year. | ||
| That's the crisis we've got. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We're live here at the Ahern Hotel in Las Vegas. | ||
| Big event today with Carrie Lake. | ||
| Raheem Kassam is going to join us after a short commercial break. | ||
|

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| We're at the Ahern Hotel in Las Vegas. | ||
| This is a famous hotel because it's the only hotel that did not shut down during the pandemic. | ||
| The COVID madness. | ||
| Can you imagine the courage that took when all that craziness was going on? | ||
| Almost as much courage as to host a Carrie Lake event here. | ||
| You're going to be there tonight. | ||
| I'm going to be there. | ||
| I'm going to say a few introductory remarks. | ||
| We're doing the show all day live from here. | ||
| And in fact, Showtime's The Circus has deemed that the, I guess, the team of Bannon and Lake, they're going to be here today. | ||
| It's worthy of coverage. | ||
| Worthy of coverage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| And it's John Hyman and Tim Miller. | ||
| Tim Miller, your favorite. | ||
| Tim Miller. | ||
| Is that the, like, 50-year-old guy who dresses like a 13-year-old? | ||
| That one? | ||
| The same. | ||
|
unidentified
|
One and the same. | |
| Just kidding, Tim. | ||
| You and Tim went at it on the circus a couple of years ago. | ||
| I never go at it. | ||
| I am always open for a fair interview, but the minute it turns into a hit piece is when the trouble begins for them. | ||
| Carrie is going to punch back. | ||
| 5 p.m. | ||
| and the hotel's done a great job including some more room for War Room Posse. | ||
| So it's 5 p.m. | ||
| to 8 p.m. | ||
| tonight. | ||
| You're going to have Carrie Lake talk. | ||
| Also, she's going to do an interview, a one-on-one interview, so it's going to be a fantastic way to get a deeper knowledge of Carrie. | ||
| All War Room Posse members are invited. | ||
| You can go to CarrieLake.com right now. | ||
| Slash Vegas. | ||
| Slash Vegas. | ||
| Not Vegas, baby. | ||
| Just slash Vegas. | ||
| Slash Vegas. | ||
| And sign up and make sure you come because it's going to be extraordinary. | ||
| I'll say a few words and then Carrie's going to give a major address and then she's going to do a one-on-one interview. | ||
| So it'll be fantastic. | ||
| I want to see as much War Room Posse here as possible. | ||
| That'd be great. | ||
| Let's bring in Raheem. | ||
| Raheem, I wanted to get to DeSantis and the polling and everything, but since we just finished and Kerry was talking about this Jim Jordan, you've been all over this and people have to remember, it was Raheem Kassam and Bill McGinley that tracked down Mark Elias' transition integrity project. | ||
| I mean, Raheem, in July of 2020, You were telling the nation on War Room, when you were co-host at the time, and then we did a national tour of how the 2020 election was going to be stolen, how they said it was going to be stolen, and you could already see the hand of CISA in all of this. | ||
| What is this revelation of the Jim Jordan memo or email about these emails? | ||
| Walk me through your thoughts on this. | ||
| Yeah, thanks for having me, Steven. | ||
| I really, I really thought that given that there were two thrones behind you guys in your shot, I was wondering why you're not sitting on those big white chairs behind you to the right. | ||
| But I truly appreciate the framing here. | ||
| I remember how, just how much attention to detail Steve pays. | ||
| You know, he's got the, he's got the baby grand piano in the background. | ||
| I love it. | ||
| I, um, I think you're right. | ||
| Absolutely right in what you're saying about this report. | ||
| So this has come out of the Judiciary Committee and it's been in the works for some time, right? | ||
| So this is 104 pages. | ||
| All evidence-based, looking deep into the interactions between the federal government, institutions which are adjacent to academic institutions in the United States of America, sitting under Stanford and the University of Washington, and how all of those entities and organizations, more included by the way, Atlantic Council, so on and so forth, | ||
| They all sort of had these little boutique-y operations, left-wing fact-check, you know, disinformation, trying to get conservatives cancelled and censored. | ||
| And what they did is they brought the federal government, effectively, cajoled all of these people together under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security, as you say, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, CISA, And they turned it into a juggernaut, right? | ||
| They turned it into an industrial scale censorship leviathan. | ||
| And this was founded in July 2020. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| It was exactly the same time that Bill and I and yourself were on this show. | ||
| We were talking nonstop about the transition integrity project, about the far left money, all the money that Zuckerberg was plowing into Democrat counties all across the United States. | ||
| And it wasn't, I don't want to take credit for this. | ||
| because it was in our faces right they were holding this up to us and saying here's what we're doing what are you going to do about it and of course nothing was done about it well fast forward years now you know we are three plus years past this and we finally just have A report. | ||
| A report that just says, like, effectively what we were saying back then. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Hey, these guys pulled the wool over our eyes. | ||
| Hey, they weaponized government against us. | ||
| Hey, they're going to do it again. | ||
| Well, okay. | ||
| Having a report like this is fine. | ||
| It's the first bureaucratic step to getting anything done about it. | ||
| But this report lacks anything to say, anything proactive. | ||
| It's all reactive. | ||
| It's all, here's what happened in the past. | ||
| It's not, here's how we're going to stop it in the future. | ||
| And that, I think, is the critical concern here. | ||
| It's like, yeah, you can sit on Capitol Hill and produce a nice little compendium of how they shafted you last time. | ||
| Tell us how you're going to stop it happening again. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| If people want to understand the difference between the traditional Republican Party and MAGA, it's what Jordan's just put out. | ||
| But I want to go back to the summer of 2020. | ||
| Mark Elias, and this is why there should be subpoenas, this is why there has to be investigation, and this is criminal. | ||
| Mark Elias, if you go back and read the Transition Integrity Project now, in light of what we know, their arrogance came from the fact they knew they had the federal government in as the information warfare arm of what they were doing to steal the election from Donald Trump. | ||
| We'll go back and we'll play clips over the next couple of days that show Elias, if you read that report, if you read the transition, they knew they had the information high ground because they had DHS there. | ||
| This is why, remember, you and I couldn't figure out, why are these guys so arrogant? | ||
| Trump is going to run the tapes. | ||
| Trump got 74 million votes. | ||
| And hopefully the clown show that's going to be at the Keebler Elves on, what is it, Thursday. | ||
| Wednesday, the 8th. | ||
| Is it going to be tomorrow? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I believe it is. | |
| Is it tomorrow? | ||
| Is that when the Keebler elves are? | ||
| Yep. | ||
| See, nobody even knows because no one even cares about it. | ||
| Only thing people care about is you opening for the president at the rally. | ||
| No, but he got 74 million votes. | ||
| They stole the election. | ||
| They knew they had the government's information arm in SISA on their side to suppress both before and after. | ||
| Anything about stealing the election. | ||
| And where's Jim Jordan? | ||
| No offense. | ||
| Do you think it's a random event that McCarthy gets the boot and then a week later this, this, and this report is crap. | ||
| It's a bunch of analysis, Rahim, that you could have done, did years ago. | ||
| Where are the subpoenas? | ||
| Where are the investigations? | ||
| This is just another example of Jordan can go on Fox and Friends in the morning and they can all wind together. | ||
| It's another shiny toy. | ||
| We need action. | ||
| We need prosecutions. | ||
| We need criminal charges. | ||
| And where are the feckless Republicans in doing this? | ||
| Raheem Kassam. | ||
| Yeah, look, let me read from page five of the report here. | ||
| It says who was being censored. | ||
| And let me ask the audience here, right, if they're breaking any ground. | ||
| Who was being censored? | ||
| President Donald J. Trump, Senator Tom Tillis, Speaker Newt Gingrich, Governor Mike Huckabee, Congressman Thomas Massey, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, Newsmax, Sean Hannity, Molly Hemingway, Harmeet Dhillon, Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, Jack Posobiec, Tom Fitton, James O'Keefe. | ||
| I mean, we know all of this. | ||
| We have known all of this. | ||
| And the other critical part that you leave out there, Steve, is yes, the weaponization of government, right? | ||
| The weaponization of the Department of Homeland Security and all of its apparatus in order to censor real-time information coming out. | ||
| I mean, they hit these things with bans faster than you could possibly imagine. | ||
| You didn't even see some of the things that these people were sharing out on the social media profiles. | ||
| But we also forget, and you want to talk about subpoenas, you don't talk about sanctions, you know, big tech. | ||
| Big Tech in the United States of America effectively became a subsidiary of the Department of Homeland Security and has remained for the most part a subsidiary of the Department of Homeland Security. | ||
| As far as political information in 2023 in the United States of America is concerned, it goes through your government first as a filter. | ||
| If it's government approved, you'll see it. | ||
| Why did it take so long for Jordan to put this out? | ||
| Did McCarthy Who was bought and paid for by Sequoia Capital and Big Tech and Jim Jordan, who's bought and paid for by Google and Big Tech. | ||
| Mike Davis, we had a problem with Jordan. | ||
| We had a problem with McCarthy. | ||
| Why was this held to this moment, Rahim? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, of course. | |
| I mean, so we did this. | ||
| During the speaker race, you know, Will Upton, one of our great staff at the National Pulse, he did the breakdown of who all these people were. | ||
| And he called me one day, and I hope Will doesn't mind me telling this story, but he called me one day, he said, look, Rahim, I've written the profile on Speaker Jim Jordan, potential Speaker Jim Jordan, and it's very unkind. | ||
| But I can't find a way to represent this information better. | ||
| He's completely, completely at the behest of big tech. | ||
| Social media companies pour money into Jim Jordan's campaign operations, into Jim Jordan's office, and he has scarcely ever done anything to assail them. | ||
| So this is why it takes so long. | ||
| Of course, Kevin McCarthy at the helm of all of that, right? | ||
| You know, there's a reason that throughout that speakership fight, you kept hearing, oh, they've got to have the guy that could raise the money. | ||
| What they're talking about there is compromise. | ||
| What they're talking about there is PACs. | ||
| What they're talking about there is corporate cash. | ||
| And of course, Google, Facebook, all of those guys throw their most amount of cash around on Capitol Hill that you can think about. | ||
| Look at Politico's playbook. | ||
| And look at who it's sponsored by at the top every morning. | ||
| Sponsored by Facebook. | ||
| Sponsored by Meta. | ||
| Sponsored by Google. | ||
| Sponsored by Big Pharma. | ||
| That's what the compromise looks like in practice. | ||
| And that's why we end up with a half-assed report like this. | ||
| Big Pharma and Big Tech own the media. | ||
| They own the Democratic Party. | ||
| They own it. | ||
| They're subsidiaries. | ||
| Rahim, I want to hold you through the break. | ||
| I've got to get to the issues of no-go zones. | ||
| Your great reporting on the Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
| We've got Frank Gaffney in here. | ||
| Carrie Lake has been lighting up Obama the last couple of days. | ||
| We're going to connect dots because it's one of the reasons we've got this situation in the Middle East. | ||
| On the campaign trail, we've got about a minute here, are people coming up to you and saying they want to see more action out of the Republican Party? | ||
| Less talk, more action? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean, you just nailed it. | ||
| We vote a Republican in, and then every important battle, it seems they retreat on. | ||
| And I said this during my announcement. | ||
| We're no longer going to retreat as Republicans. | ||
| We are on the last hill. | ||
| They've surrendered every hill, and we're going to stand on top of this hill and fight for this country. | ||
| And they have power. | ||
| To do something about all of this and to act like they're just finally hearing about it. | ||
| I'm happy it's out. | ||
| Listen, I agree. | ||
| I like Jim Jordan. | ||
| Okay, I really do. | ||
| I think he's one of the good ones. | ||
| We love Jim Jordan. | ||
| But will you love Jim Jordan 1.0? | ||
| Though Jim Jordan 2.0 is too cozy with big tech. | ||
|

|
It just is. | |
| I mean, big tech, big tech owns, big tech and big pharma in the arms industry own the nation's capital. | ||
| It's the reason we have two trillion dollar deficits. | ||
| We'll be able to get in all this. | ||
| And by the way, remember, It was that establishment, Republicans, that tried to take you out in the primary. | ||
| They put in your governor's primary. | ||
| They tried to take you out. | ||
| They're not going to be around now because Cary Lake is dominant! | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We'll be back in the Ahern Hotel in Las Vegas with Cary Lake on a big day here in the Lake campaign. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | |
| OK, I've got Rahim. | ||
| Oh, by the way, I'm not going to gloat. | ||
| I promise you I'm not going to gloat. | ||
| One trillion dollars. | ||
| Not War Room saying that. | ||
| Bloomberg's lead story. | ||
| One trillion dollars in interest expense this year on the federal debt. | ||
| And if you're out there saying, well, Steve, what does that have to do with me? | ||
| It has a lot to do with you. | ||
| When you're living paycheck to paycheck and you've got to gap it with a credit card and you've got 30% APR, when the mortgages are at 30-year highs, when the second, when the flexible rate mortgages are out of control and you can't take a second on your house, When your auto loan is at all-time highs and they're repossessing cars, when your student loans are blown up, when you're getting crushed, the Federal Reserve is kind of out of their hands now. | ||
| The structure of the debt is so big and has to be refinanced. | ||
| I told you it was going to be over a trillion dollars, and they lied to you just like they lied to you what the deficit was going to be. | ||
| Everything that comes out of the Treasury's mouth, out of the Federal Reserve's mouth, out of the Biden regime's mouth, is a lie. | ||
| Everything. | ||
| And you can't... | ||
| The math wins out here, and the math is brutal. | ||
| Okay, two things I want to get into. | ||
| By the way, go to birchgold.com slash Bannon right now. | ||
| You need to find out why gold has been a hedge against turbulent times for 5,000 years. | ||
| Go check it out. | ||
| Ask Philip Patrick and the team. | ||
| More about that later. | ||
| Raheem, two things I want to cover with Kerry here. | ||
| Number one, You've been taking a lot of incoming from a lot of different people, but the reason is, is you made the case that Ron DeSantis was a buffoon from the beginning. | ||
| I hate to say, this weekend showed you everything you need to know about Ron DeSantis. | ||
| Ron DeSantis on MSNBC, Ron DeSantis on CNN, Ron DeSantis everywhere, basically saying he can't beat Trump, but he knows that Trump, he's wishing for and hoping for lawfare. | ||
| Yeah, listen, and now he's got 2023's version of Carly Fiorina following him around on the campaign trail. | ||
| him enough that Ronda Sands should be the go-to guy. | ||
| He exposed himself for the creep that he is. | ||
| Rahim, I'm going to start with you, then I'm going to come to Kerry. | ||
| Yeah, listen, and now he's got 2023's version of Carly Fiorina following him around on the campaign trail. | ||
| I mean, this is, this is, you have to go to the source of this, this poorly run campaign. | ||
| And while obviously there's plenty of blame to go around. | ||
| Their online operation is absolutely, I mean, just shocking, just shockingly bad. | ||
| You have to go to the source of who the strategist behind all of this is, and that's Jeff Rowe. | ||
| That's Ted Cruz's Jeff Rowe. | ||
| That's Jeff Rowe, the guy who has developed this strategy that somehow attracts nobody from any part of the Republican base, right? | ||
| You would think you would go into a campaign and say, yeah, you know, Donald Trump, great guy, America first, great ideas, all this stuff, and then build off of that. | ||
| Instead, no. | ||
| It's been a strategy of trying to tear down everything, not just the mugger movement, but honestly, the majority, the vast majority of the Republican party base has been working towards for decades now. | ||
| It's almost as if they don't understand that even during the Bush years, the Republican party base was pulling in this direction, and they're trying to flip it back right there. | ||
| Well, listen, this is why you get now he has this huge announcement yesterday, right? | ||
| Huge announcement of the endorsement from the person who promised that they would remain neutral. | ||
| Make of her word what you will, based on that, Governor Kim Reynolds in Iowa comes out. | ||
| And how many people do they have in the room, Steve? | ||
| Well, I counted from all of the pictures that were available to us, and there are no more than 150 people in that room, and there were about a couple of hundred people watching on live stream yesterday. | ||
| There were live streams that were being done on Rumble yesterday evening by average Joes on their Rumble accounts that were getting more viewers than Ron DeSantis and Kim Reynolds, and I think that tells you everything about their campaign. | ||
| By the way, for the biggest announcement his campaign will have, Rahim, hang on one second, because Carrie Lake, I think you know something about Jeff Roe, right? | ||
| Tell us about Jeff Roe in Arizona. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? | |
| No, about the Robeson's campaign and all the campaigns. | ||
| Jeff Roe was cranking up money and taking money, same thing he's doing to DeSantis. | ||
| By the way, Jeff Roe's in back of Yunkin, too. | ||
| Tonight, if Yunkin carries the Senate, tomorrow morning, Yunkin's going to be the great white hope to be able to take on Trump. | ||
| He's the next man up, and if he doesn't work out, they'll go to Kemp. | ||
| Well, I think there's still a belief in Arizona by the people that, you know, Jeff Rowe is supportive of and is behind that Trump's going to lose Arizona. | ||
| We saw the polling data from the New York Times, Siena. | ||
| I think it's five points up and it's only going to, that gap is going to widen. | ||
| And so this is delusional stuff. | ||
| And the problem with the consultant class is they will continue to lead you on and think you can win until they have drained you of every last penny. | ||
| They'll say, what, just throw one more million in this week and we're gonna, we're gonna get, we're gonna reboot, we're gonna reboot. | ||
| Hang on, hold on, they told Robeson on the thing, you've got momentum, you're closing, you just need another four million dollars in the last week of which we're gonna take 20% off the top. | ||
| And the same with DeSantis. | ||
| We're gonna reboot. | ||
| We're gonna reboot. | ||
| And the only thing about rebooting is that the people are talking about is his actual boots. | ||
| You knew Trump was the guy from the get-go and with all the pressure to come to support DeSantis, why did you come out so early, immediately? | ||
| And just wave off all the DeSantis and all the Keebler L's. | ||
| It's actually funny, I've never told this story before, but you know, after the absolute travesty of the election, and you could already, in 22, our governor's race, and you could already see the plan was to start pushing DeSantis. | ||
| I had somebody who was in the DeSantis team call me and say, we really want you, we want you to be a spokesperson. | ||
| This is somebody in Arizona who's on the DeSantis team. | ||
| And I said, are you kidding me? | ||
| I'm Trump all the way. | ||
| I am Trump all the way. | ||
| I could recognize right away what was going on. | ||
| It's like there's a really hard push to try to bring down Trump. | ||
| And we've got to have President Trump back in office. | ||
| We have to have him back in office because he's the only guy that can take on, you named it, Big Pharma, the military industrial complex, the Election industrial complex, because there's problems there. | ||
| He's the only one willing to take on all this stuff. | ||
| And he's done it before with success. | ||
| We were all better off four years ago financially. | ||
| We were safer four years ago. | ||
| Our country was in a better place. | ||
| The world was actually safer with President Trump in control in America. | ||
| And so we got to get him back. | ||
| I can't believe that Ron DeSantis allowed for this to happen. | ||
| It tells me he doesn't have good political judgment. | ||
| Maybe he's not mature enough for the moment to allow a bunch of consultants to destroy his political career when it seemed to be bright. | ||
| Do you think deep character flaws have been revealed in his campaign? | ||
| Particularly what he did this weekend and basically saying, I am waiting for Jack Smith. | ||
| I'm on Jack Smith's team. | ||
| Basically, what's your path to victory, Ron? | ||
| And he says, for Trump to go to jail. | ||
| For the government to be weaponized so badly against President Trump that he goes to jail. | ||
| That's his plan to victory? | ||
| That's disgusting. | ||
| And actually, I think before he said that, there may have been a way for him to resurrect his career. | ||
| I agree with you. | ||
| He may have been able to say, look, I'm going back to Florida, I'm going to be the best governor I can possibly be, and I support President Trump. | ||
| But after he said that, I don't know. | ||
| Before I go back to Rahim, you're an Iowa girl. | ||
| Why does Kim Reynolds come in and say yesterday Trump can't win? | ||
| She plays into the same, this is the donor mentality, that the law firm is going to win out. | ||
| Why does the governor of Iowa come in and back up? | ||
| DeSantis, you've seen DeSantis in Iowa. | ||
| Is DeSantis resonating with any Iowans? | ||
| Iowans are very, I think they're very astute when it comes to detecting authenticity and that's something that Ron DeSantis is lacking. | ||
| I mean, he just doesn't connect with people. | ||
| And he's trying, I can tell, they're coaching him, he's working, and they're saying, look, people, shake their hand and look at, you can almost see the steps, like, okay, shake a hand, look him in the eye. | ||
| Ron the robot. | ||
| But it's not genuine. | ||
| When you look someone in the eye and you just go, okay, I looked at their eye, and the next person, I looked at their eye, and the next person. | ||
| I don't think you can train somebody how to be authentic. | ||
| And I think that maybe in a way he was effective as a government. | ||
| Can they look, they know how to spot authenticity and how to spot phonies? | ||
| And I think they're really disappointed in Kim Reynolds. | ||
| You know, she said she was going to stay neutral. | ||
| I think she should have gotten behind President Trump right away. | ||
| We don't need to have a primary—we already have an incredible, incredible candidate in President Trump who has done the job, done it well. | ||
| He's proven. | ||
| And we didn't need to have this sideshow going on and causing—but here's the deal. | ||
| The consulting class will never not have enough. | ||
| If there's an opportunity to make billions, they're going to have a primary, no matter who it hurts. | ||
| They're in. | ||
| Rahim, your thoughts? | ||
| Kim Reynolds, does this keep DeSantis going for a while? | ||
| No. | ||
| I mean, the data, if you look at the, we ran a story the other day on the National Pulse about the data behind all of this, it shows that there is not even, you know, 5% Uh boost that you get from a from a endorsement from a governor and then Kim Reynolds or Chris Sununu in New Hampshire. | ||
| I mean this is margin of error stuff. | ||
| They're tinkering around the edges now because what they're trying to do is just not look totally embarrassed when this thing happens in January. | ||
| But at the same time you see new data coming out every day that shows Nikki Haley is pulling more from DeSantis At the moment, and back to one of Carrie's points very quickly is, you know, about that jail thing, right? | ||
| Like effectively what you're saying is correct. | ||
| Ron goes out this weekend and says, look, my best shot at the presidency is the full weaponization of government. | ||
| And he's effectively rooting for that, right? | ||
| But the corollary question that everybody needs to ask themselves at home, if you're still thinking that, oh, maybe this guy is a good guy, maybe this guy can do it in four years time, who knows? | ||
| The corollary question is this. | ||
| Why isn't Ron DeSantis afraid that they would do the same thing to him? | ||
| Why isn't Ron DeSantis warning that this could happen to every single other Republican going down the line? | ||
| Because he knows. | ||
| Ron DeSantis knows in his heart that he is not Donald Trump, he would not stand for the same things, and the vast majority of politicians that align themselves with the Republican Party are cut from the same cloth. | ||
| And that is the cloth of yesteryear. | ||
| It's a cloth of bygone conservative, you know, small-c conservative, you know, free-market politics. | ||
| That actually wouldn't have the state weaponized against you if you just toe that line. | ||
| And that's fully what Ron DeSantis would intend to do if he was president of the United States. | ||
| So ask yourself that corollary question. | ||
| If you have any friends out there that still believe that this guy has the best interest of the America First agenda at heart, question them on why he isn't concerned about them targeting him in the same way that they have targeted Donald Trump. | ||
| Carrie Lake, your thoughts? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean, he's never going to be targeted that way because he's part of that club. | ||
| And Raheem's right, he's part of that club. | ||
| That club that is okay with weaponizing the government against people who dissent, against people who have different ideas on which direction America should go. | ||
| I always have said it, I love President Trump because he's got the right kind of enemies. | ||
| And I said this on the campaign trail. | ||
| You were there for a few of the times I probably said it. | ||
| We need to support the people that the media is attacking. | ||
| That both sides are attacking. | ||
| If there's a candidate out there that Republicans are attacking and Democrats, there's a good chance that that person is going to do the right thing. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| Rahim, people have attacked you. | ||
| One of the reasons they attacked you when you worked for me at Breitbart and ran Breitbart London was you're amazing. | ||
| You were the first person to actually go in and talk about this concept of no-go zones in your beloved England. | ||
| Then you expanded to go all to Europe. | ||
| Is it surprising you what you've seen in Europe and now the United States over the last couple days since the Hamas attack in Israel? | ||
| The only thing that surprised me about this is that we got a short respite from it all, right? | ||
| During the presidency of Donald Trump, I think people can appreciate that there was a respite from this stuff. | ||
| And, you know, I have it here. | ||
| This was the book I wrote in 2017, No Go Zones, where I went around All of these Arab-dominated, Muslim-dominated neighborhoods all across Europe, the United Kingdom, and indeed into the United States. | ||
| And I wrote about it, and by the way, I was on MSNBC at the time, I was on CNN at the time, I was on Fox News at the time, and everybody read this book, and they know that there's no alarmism here. | ||
| This is documentary evidence of what's taking place in these neighborhoods. | ||
| And what's taking place? | ||
| You're seeing it play out now on the streets. | ||
| A lot of these people don't even speak English. | ||
| Let alone have anything in common with people who have integrated or people of native extraction from these places. | ||
| A lot of these people couldn't care less about the legal system, about the judicial system. | ||
| They don't care about the politics. | ||
| They don't care about the culture. | ||
| They don't care about the civil society that they're supposed to be a part of. | ||
| What they care about, what they care about is the importation of internecine, you know, Levantine, Middle East conflicts into the United Kingdom, into the United States, And just having those fights battled out on a different plot of soil. | ||
| This is unsustainable. | ||
| It is fundamentally unsustainable. | ||
| And you have to get a grip of it. | ||
|

|
I tell you Rahim, we're going to go to break and we're going to reboot you. | |
| Rahim Ghassan about no-go zones. | ||
| Kerry Lake was all over Obama yesterday. | ||
| We're going to get into that. | ||
| that. Frank Gaffney is going to join us next in the War Room. | ||
| Okay, you went after, we have Rahim, Frank Gaffney is going to join us, we've got Harnwell, we're booked up today. | ||
| Um... | ||
| You went after Obama pretty hard yesterday. | ||
| Blaming him on the current situation. | ||
| Why are you picking on Obama? | ||
| Well, for him coming out and talking about what's happening in Israel and trying to lay blame everywhere, except taking any on his own. | ||
|
unidentified
|
To me, Obama, his policies... When he said everybody's hands are dirty? | |
| Yeah, basically, in so many words. | ||
| That was the comment that... That's what triggered me, really. | ||
| Honestly, he took zero responsibility for the Iran deal for the pallets of cash going over to Iran, which is funding terrorism around the globe, especially in the Middle East. He took zero responsibility for his help in creating ISIS and acting like it was no big deal and it could never be brought down. And President Trump, in short order, brought ISIS down in a very short amount of time. The man takes no responsibility. He's an apologist. And I was really appalled that he came out | ||
| and spoke that way. If he's going to be acting that way, he really should just sit down, as I said, and shut up. But honestly, the man needs to take some responsibility for what he did. President Trump is the one who brought us peace in the Middle East. And under Obama, we saw a man stoking terrorism around the globe. And I think he's got blood on his hands for what's happening. | ||
| Rahim, thank you so much for your time. | ||
| What you're seeing in Europe, what you're seeing in London, what you're seeing in Paris, and what you're going to see, because it's going to get a lot worse in here. | ||
| Is Obama a big part of that problem, or is it even deeper than that? | ||
| I mean, it was way deeper, but look, Obama was the time that that really came out, right? | ||
| Up front, the Cairo speech, the doffing of the cap to the Islamist world, the empowerment of the Iranian regime, especially under the Obama regime, but also now. | ||
| And in fact, furthermore now, but the scandal is lesser for some reason, that people don't cover it so much. | ||
| The fact that there have been Iranian agents working in Joe Biden's government in recent months is something that you would think would be leading on the news stations all around the country, all around the world. | ||
| And it just doesn't. | ||
| This isn't this isn't kind of conspiracy Rahim Kassam's head kind of stuff. | ||
| This is documented information that you could read on the NBC News website, but for whatever reason, NBC News themselves don't actually put it up on their air for people to actually watch and name these people and show them for who they are. | ||
| This is the level of infiltration that we've seen, and it was always going to be this way. | ||
| I mean, you look at the First Minister of Scotland. | ||
| Steve, we got in big trouble, big trouble over at Breitbart London. | ||
| I think it was 2014, may have been 2015, when we wrote a whole thing talking about how Hamza Youssef, the now First Minister of Scotland, had Islamist sympathies. | ||
| And of course, what is he doing now? | ||
| He's going up there, you know, he's calling for pro-Hamas ceasefires. | ||
| He's doing all of the same agitation against the Western world that we predicted. | ||
| This was so easy to foresee. | ||
| All you had to do was spend a little time looking at these networks. | ||
| I read the news this morning, and I see there's something going on in the United Kingdom pertaining to all of this, and it says, okay, the Muslim Association of Britain, and I think to myself, my goodness, the Muslim Association of Britain, I was talking about that organization and its Hamas links in 2007. | ||
| In 2007, we were talking about that stuff. | ||
| When I was coming out of college, when I was coming out of university, I was talking about the Hizb ut-Tahrir demonstrations that were happening on Regent Street, and the Islamic Society meetings that were happening. | ||
| I remember the story of me, where they tried to recruit me into an Islamic Society at Westminster University, and they were showing videos of 9-11 and clapping and cheering in that room, slap bang in the heart of London. | ||
| And of course, the period of time that's passed since, the radicalization element of these people, the extremism, the insulation, all of that has become worse, not better. | ||
| Worse, not better. | ||
| We have had a semi-respite for the four years that Donald Trump was in the White House and cracked down so heavily on all of those issues that led up to things like that. | ||
| The immigration stuff, whatever you wanna call it, the ban on travel, and being heavy-handed with Islamists across the world, but without committing thousands upon thousands of American troops to die as a result of it, that created a respite. | ||
| It all came flooding back the second the adults were back in the room. | ||
| Rahim, how do people get to the National Pulse? | ||
| You've got a track record of reporting on this topic. | ||
| I mean, now is your moment. | ||
| This beginning phase of the kinetic part of the Third World War is what, quite frankly, you've worked professionally to understand for many decades. | ||
| Where do people go to the National Pulse in your social media? | ||
| Yeah, look, it's imperative. | ||
| I always tell people that places like CNN have a budget of billions every year. | ||
| We don't have that, but we have the truth and we have the people behind us. | ||
| The National Pulse is all people funded. | ||
| No billionaires, no corporations, none of that. | ||
| You go to thenationalpulse.com forward slash war room. | ||
| You can sign up. | ||
| The first month is free. | ||
| And I'll tell you what, everybody that signs up today, everybody that comes and supports real news, supports the way we do the news, we tell the truth, we do it in brief, we give you sources if you want to go and read longer things there, and we give you exclusive editor's notes, that's my take on the stories, why they exist, what's going on, what's the chit-chat in Washington DC, in Westminster and beyond, on any given story. | ||
| I'll tell you what, anybody that signs up today, Uh, we're going to enter you into a competition. | ||
| I will sign an original copy of No Go Zones from 2017, um, and we'll get that out to you as well. | ||
| So go over to thenationalpulse.com forward slash war room. | ||
| And we appreciate every single person because every single person makes a difference to the way we run our operation. | ||
| without every single person putting their shoulder to the wheel on this thing, we cannot grow, we cannot hire more staff. As you know, Steve, in the world of journalism, especially on the right, the staff need to be trained, they need to be shown what to do, and we do that every day. | ||
| We bring on new people, we train them up, and we get them out there reporting the truth. | ||
| So be a part of that. I can say after many years of training up, working and training up Rahim, it takes resources. | ||
| So go to the National Pulse as we train up another generation. | ||
| He's still working on it. | ||
| By the way, the National Pulse is fantastic. | ||
| It's one of the first places I go. | ||
| Raheem, thank you very much for joining us, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thanks for having me, Steve. | ||
| Cheers. | ||
| Thanks, Gary. | ||
| Thanks, Rahim. | ||
| And that's the key to real journalism. | ||
| Look at the sponsors. | ||
| I mean, when you look at these five or six corporations that control the mainstream media, who are their sponsors? | ||
| Who's paying for the commercials? | ||
| And it's all big pharma. | ||
| It's the big military as well. | ||
| And we need to... This is one of the good things coming out of this very difficult time. | ||
| And us waking up to the fake news is that real journalism, independent journalism is growing and it was much needed to have this kind of revolution in journalism. | ||
| We're going to get into the next hour. | ||
| Frank Gaffney's going to join us. | ||
| Frank's going to join Kerry for a discussion of the Muslim Brotherhood on one side and the Persians on the other side. | ||
| The pincer move in Israel and the United States all next in the war room. | ||
| I want to thank Birch Gold The end of the dollar empire. | ||
| We've been doing this for two years now. | ||
| It was a cold shot from the war room, but you're going to live in this kind of financial and economic agony. | ||
| You need to understand precious metals and why it should be a part of your portfolio. | ||
| Remember, for 5,000 years of mankind's recorded history, there has been one hedge against turbulence in troubled times. | ||
| Precious metals. | ||
