What would a second Donald Trump term look like?
unidentified
Well, he cannot be the next president.
Because if he is... You can't imagine the things that he's going to do.
Mexico!
Canada!
We can't go to Canada because eventually Canada will become an ex to America.
And shoot visitors to the White House.
Yeah.
That means he can shoot the First Lady.
We're going to see violence the likes of which we didn't even see on January 6th.
Make it illegal to run against him, to throw his opponents in jail, to shut down the media.
He will make himself into the Führer, and he will make everybody raise their hand and salute him.
Using martial law against the American people.
Terminate the Constitution.
Rewrite the Constitution.
Create mass internment camps.
Throw everyone into Gitmo.
Might be sent to jail, or their rights might be suppressed.
Especially minority groups in society.
You might have any number of things happen to you and your family.
Every one of us, our freedom, our liberty, none of us is safe.
He's going to have people around him executing against an enemies list.
Assassinate generals.
Ordering troops to attack American citizens.
Trump's very well armed and extremist base will try to kill people.
He's going to basically burn the house down.
He will unravel the institutions of our democracy.
Draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler.
Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
Makes Donald Trump even more dangerous.
Wants to take away your vote.
Senate and the House are immediately going to be paralyzed.
People will begin in their minds to censor themselves.
They might say, well maybe I shouldn't say this.
This is the end of democracy here.
I think that could be the end of our democracy.
Democracy is dead if Trump is re-elected.
If he goes up to Putin, democracy will be at risk.
The absolute destruction of the Justice Department as we know it.
The Justice Department could be entirely transformed.
I am really concerned about that.
Every person who was associated with the attempted coup elevated in the administration.
If he's re-elected, he will curb transgender rights.
The end of the rule of law.
Arrest political opponents.
To persecute, not prosecute, but persecute his enemies.
Take a wrecking ball to the rule of law.
He's going to make the law everyone else will have to follow.
A vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in.
To go after the independent and free parts of American civic life.
He would tear down our institutions.
Urge the government of employees.
Department by department effort to weaponize the powers of the government.
maureen bannon
To use the military to quash protests.
joy reid
Reading the government of all democratic safeguards.
unidentified
Junking American democracy as we have always known it.
That he would try to stay in office beyond a second term.
That he would never leave office.
There's no question.
Trump is re-elected, he won't leave.
Donald Trump will never leave office voluntarily.
rachel maddow
And what that means is that everybody who wants us to remain a republic has to put every other thing aside and work together urgently right now to stop that from happening.
unidentified
In America, we don't worship government.
We worship God.
Here I am, a little older, a little wiser, a whole lot bolder.
And I got something to say.
In this world that we live in, there are secrets that I hid.
And I can tell you why, but you gotta believe.
You gotta believe, believe.
Open your eyes, no time to be blind.
Open your mind to see we're in a modern day holy war.
Coming after your mind to find your soul.
Oh, it's true.
Modern day holy war.
Challenge your blessings, fear your sin no more, no more.
Cause Jesus put the light in you.
Little children in a straight line, don't fall behind.
Modern day holy war.
The television's only meant to indoctrinate the mind.
See, ain't always believing, doesn't mean you're wrong.
Okay.
steve bannon
With Trump leading in the polls in every battleground state, the opposition, the deep state, the administrative state, the uniparty, the oligarchs on Wall Street, the lords of easy money in the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, The tech oligarchs, the World Economic Forum, Brussels, Davos, all of it.
The forces of darkness are reigned against President Donald J. Trump and the MAGA movement.
The numbers out over the last 24 hours are absolutely brutal for the bad guys.
Lead story in the Hill, Trump's taking a significant lead over Biden.
In Politico, one of the lead stories from one of their best writers says the polling he looks at says it doesn't even matter if President Trump is convicted in these bogus show trials.
That's exactly where we stand on Saturday, the 16th of December in the year of our Lord 2023.
We're going to be going between AmFest in Phoenix, Arizona in the nation's capital.
We're going to have some very special guests on here, including the one and only Rudy Giuliani.
Incredible 24 hours, last 48 hours.
unidentified
The MAGA movement is ascending.
steve bannon
President Donald Trump is ascending.
The march to a second term can only be defeated if we allow it to be defeated.
Let me repeat that.
We can only be beaten If we allow ourselves to be beaten, and they understand that, they will pull out any and all stops.
unidentified
This is now total and complete political warfare.
steve bannon
There's no compromise.
There's no way you can bridge this gap.
Absolutely impossible.
Absolutely impossible.
unidentified
We are in a modern-day holy war, as shown by the day show.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
unidentified
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved!
unidentified
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bass.
steve bannon
Okay, Saturday, 16 December, Year of the Lord 2023, we're between AmFest and the Nation's Capital, a lot going on.
I want to give a hat tip To our marketing director, Madeline Peltz, over at Media Matters.
And Madeline, look, we don't agree.
They're picking on Media Matters.
Hey baby, we take it.
You guys come at us as hard as you can.
No problem, no harm, no foul.
In fact, Madeline's actually made us more popular with sponsors and advertisers.
That's why she's a great director of marketing.
She got a very prescient, already put it up on Twitter.
Formerly known as Axe, Steve Bannon opens his show today with a celebratory supercut of experts warning about the threat Trump poses to democracy, then plays a music video for a song called Modern Day Holy War filled with apocalyptic imagery.
Absolutely.
Because that's where we are right now.
The over-the-top, and here's the thing, the American people, you're seeing the great awakening.
You are the army of the awakened.
But you're seeing a great awakening among your fellow countrymen.
Of every ethnicity, every race, every religion, we're all coming together now to join MAGA.
These polling numbers are absolutely, absolutely incredible.
The Hill newspaper today, the lead story, if I can put that up, can we do that, Denver?
I've got all these up on Getter.
Remember, Getter's totally free.
Download Getter.
I have over 6 million followers there right now.
Just saying, hey, humble brag.
But I put everything I put all my stuff up on getter because that's the one I understand how to use It's it's simple enough for me, and I'm a tech Complete tech you know have no no feel for it social media The Hill newspaper today, lead story, Trump takes significant lead and they go through state by state.
A lot of this, I think, is based upon the Bloomberg morning consult poll that I put up yesterday, that Bloomberg, I think, had up in every swing state.
And oh, by the way, Michigan plus 10 or 11.
I mean, the spreads here are getting to be like Ohio and Florida spreads.
Think about it.
The two states used to determine the elections, Ohio and Florida, are now Trump's prohibitive favorite.
Um, but as importantly as that, and the, and the Hill's very strategic about how they put up lead stories, particularly on Saturday, they realized that the political class is going to get up and have a cup of coffee.
Oh, by the way, maybe we get a cup of coffee.
You know what?
I'm so jacked up early in the morning.
You get the field of greens, but that's, that's, that's dawn patrol stuff.
I'm talking a little later.
Warpath coffee, Mariners blend, dark roast.
Can Mo and Grace, can we, can we send a bag over to Madeline?
I'd like to get a review by Madeline Peltz over at Media Matters.
Madeline, we love you guys, too, by the way.
You're a great marketing department.
You're fantastic.
I can't believe people are picking on you.
Some people are so thin-skinned.
Hey, if you're going to stand up and do this, you've got to be able to take the incoming.
Warpath.coffee.com.
Get your big discounts there.
Mariners blend, now look, I would love you to try, if you don't like dark roast, if French roast is too bitter for you, try this.
We've done, we've tried it, it's not acidic.
We've worked for a year and a half, two years with Tej on the team taking it out.
Now if you're a mild coffee drinker, blends do that too.
But get war room jacked.
We're on the war path.
It's a modern day holy war.
Carvel's got a, James Carvel, The Guardian.
And you know, I start off, you know, one of my early reads is The Guardian.
I still say the best edited paper in the country.
A bunch of crazy lunatic left-wingers and progressives.
But you have to know what your enemy's thinking.
Know thy enemy.
And more importantly, you have to know how your enemy's framing the narrative on the information war.
It's most important.
You just can't go to read all the sites you like.
Of course, we got Revolver.
We got Citizens Free Press.
We have the Gateway Pundit.
We got all those.
They're all fantastic.
Great stuff.
Great information.
But you also have to study your enemies.
This is why every day my first read are the British papers.
The Guardian, the Financial Times of London, people know I love the FT, right?
Although it's the paper for the Uniparty.
The Economist is the People magazine, and this is the tip sheet every day.
Big headline, West Ways Seizing Russian Assets.
Yo, I thought we seized all the Russian assets.
It's a big shocker to the pro-Ukrainian war crowd that the assets haven't been seized yet.
They were told that everything was done.
You've been lied to.
You guys look like the biggest clowns of all.
Seriously.
All the goofballs on MSNBC and CNN were right.
None of this went according to the plan you were told, as we told you.
And now you've got, I don't know, Zero Hedge had the idea.
Then you got to be very, as I say, very careful about Zero Hedge.
They will send you to a link or two that may be, hmm, you know, maybe a little pro-Russian.
So you got to watch that.
Oh, there's nothing bad with that.
You just got to watch where you're going to.
But they got, I think it's McGregor saying there's two million casualties.
Now, I don't know if that's the case, but it's a lot more than the 75,000 to 100,000 of the Ukrainian people.
Of course, they're saying the Russians have lost, I think, 350,000 combat casualties or deaths, KIAs, whatever.
Putin gives us four hours.
And of course, he's KGB.
You can't trust these guys.
They're KGB.
They're thugs.
Just like the CCP.
They're not at the criminal class of CCP.
The CCP is like Hitler-level dictators.
The Kremlin are bad.
Very bad.
Bad guys.
Enslaving our allies, our natural allies, the Russian people.
And our natural, CCP enslaves our natural allies, Lao-Beijing.
The common man and woman of mainland China, who we love, and every day we assist and try to fight for so that they can one day win their freedom.
We're not going to win it for them.
They're going to win it.
But one day that will come.
One day that will come.
We've got a lot to get to today.
We're going to be going out to AmFest.
We're trying to get hooked up there.
The very first day.
Big day tonight with the concerts.
Tomorrow, the speakers.
I speak, I think, right after Carrie Lake.
I'll get you more details on that.
Anybody in the Greater Phoenix area, come on down.
We're going to be broadcasting Monday and Tuesday.
We're going to do sidebars.
I get to meet everybody.
We'll do, as you guys remember, do all the handshaking and hanging out.
We can't wait for it.
And I really want to thank Rav.
I think her studio looks amazing.
Short break, back in the War Room.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass.
steve bannon
OK, welcome back.
We're going to go to AmFest.
We're going to be there for the next couple of days.
Team's already there.
I want to thank Real America's Voice.
Man, what a setup.
Let's go live to AmFest in the Greater Phoenix area.
We've got our own Natalie Winters, Jane Zirkle, and Captain Mo Bannon.
Natalie, give me your sense, tell me, give me your thoughts.
You've seen the speakers list, you see what's going on, all the activities.
Give me your overall assessment of AmFest this year.
natalie winters
Sure, well, the number one question that I've gotten so far is, where is Steve Bannon?
But the second most popular question I've received is, when are we actually going to get accountability?
And it had me thinking last night as we were going and heading into Ambest, that our Republicans on Capitol Hill, our elected lawmakers, have routinely failed, I think, The spears we have at this event are the few select, really the elect that have actually done something on that front, whether it's the Biden's, whether it's the Chinese Communist Party, whether it's Ukraine and auditing all of that.
But what I really realized is think about how far the war room posse has come since we were here last year.
They are the only political force that is around today.
That has actually been at the tip of the spear of providing accountability, whether it's on the Ukraine issue, right?
That's a non-starter.
Zelensky had to come and beg for money and got absolutely nothing.
We deposed Kevin McCarthy.
McHenry is stepping down.
So is Mc...
Uh, the other one.
And Garrett Graves, I'm sure he should probably step down.
I know that's your personal favorite.
But all these people who negotiated the debt ceiling, their careers are gone down the gutter.
And I really think it shows how effective of a political force the War Room Posse has become in just a year since we were last here in Phoenix for AmFest.
steve bannon
No, it's really turned into a cadre, and that's one of the reasons we're going to be not just celebrating that, but also talking about the program.
The Warren Posse has to be the tip of the tip of the spear in 2024.
Natalie, you know, we started with that supercut, and I saw that the other day.
Somebody else had made it, but Zero Hedge did this brilliant article breaking it all down today.
Do you believe this over-the-top talk about dictatorship and anti-democratic forces, Robert Kagan's basically green-lighting the potential assassination of Trump, do you think we could thwart that if the Republicans in the House grew a set and we actually had in-your-face hearings, in-your-face criminal referrals, that if the accountability would ratchet up,
That some of that stuff would back off because people would see, like in the FISA situation, that we're the movement and the MAGA movement and the party that doesn't want a surveillance of civilians in the United States.
That we're the ones that want accountability, whether it's the biopharmaceutical industrial complex, the military industrial complex, Now the Federal Reserve, the Central Bank, and the Treasury.
Real accountability, real oversight.
Do you think if the Republicans were hammers, we could actually use that to start to tamp down this over-the-top and I would say dangerous rhetoric coming from the mainstream media and the Uniparty left?
natalie winters
I mean it's a very big if and I think frankly to me with the Republican majority that we currently have the answer is no way in hell empirically I think I'm proven correct on that but again I think it goes back to the grassroots to the activists I think we have the power but frankly the enemy That we are up against, and I use that word intentionally.
I don't think that we understand, I think, we as in the War Room Posse and the people who watch this show do, but the people who are elected, they're barely Republicans in the traditional sense.
They're as bought off, I think, as Democrats are, right?
They're part of that uniparty.
And I know, Steve, we've been talking about, at least when it comes to the Ukraine front, which of course all of this dictator talk is just Projection.
Look who they're shelling out money to around the world.
Look who they're in business with.
The Chinese Communist Party.
But the White House is actively colluding with the Ukrainian government on talking points about why we need to continue giving our taxpayer dollars to Ukraine.
And it's because, catch this, it's great for American jobs.
It's great for the American industrial base.
These are people who will routinely lie to our face, get away with it.
They hate this country.
It's not just managed decline anymore.
It's accelerated decline.
Coupled with complete moral, ethical, religious, just degeneracy.
And frankly, our Republicans can't even get a win on FISA, can't even get a win on CISA, can't even really get a win on having an actual speaker who's willing to throw down.
Sure, he has a biblical worldview, but the world that we're living in right now, the world that he is actually taking steps to implement and not safeguard or prevent, whether it's our constitutional liberties, our God-given rights, this is a world that frankly, You can't describe it as biblical.
It's definitely not that.
And I think we need to see actual action to make that happen, not just hot takes, not just tweets, not just media soundbites, and not just trying to fundraise so you can secure your next election, to continue this failed cycle of doing absolutely nothing.
steve bannon
What did you think also about in the NDAA, which we fought, they slipped in at the last second with no debate, no debate in the House, no debate in the Senate, they slipped it in to handcuff President Trump on NATO.
To basically put a law in that no president could get out of NATO when the Constitution, and some of the articles quoting me bring up some stuff from Thomas Jefferson, from some of his writings.
But there's literally no provision in the Constitution that says you have to go back to the Senate to unwind a treaty.
What are your thoughts about how how focused, how maniacally they're focused now on putting structural impediments to President Trump's second term, ma'am?
natalie winters
Well look, it's just one arrow in the quiver that the globalists have been using to effectively nullify Trump's, what should be his third term, but you guys know you always refer to impeachment as the nullification project, so we've been doing that, or they've been doing that rather, for a while now.
But I think we also are sort of missing the forest for the trees here when it comes to the NDAA and what they were doing with NATO.
Think about what they were doing with the World Health Organization just a few months ago, right?
They were trying to weaponize public health, pandemics, lockdowns, climate change, you name it.
to sort of influence or exert their own agenda with whether it's unelected bureaucrats, but really countering the only man that we know empirically has been tried, tested, and proven in battle to go up against them. And make no mistake, Steve, I was actually reading, believe it or not, they just had one of the latest negotiation sessions on that WHO pandemic treaty and I was reading the draft text and don't worry, they're going to have everyone sign on to it just a few months ahead of the 2024 election.
There are no conspiracies, but there are no coincidences.
And frankly, like I said, these people are evil to their core.
They're in bed with the very autocrats that they're accusing Trump of being.
Look no further than the story that I just put up on warrooms.org today that has to do with a secret group that the White House established Working with the Chinese Communist Party on an agricultural working group to collaborate on farmland food supply.
Meanwhile, you see Republicans, you see conservatives and activists raising red flags, sounding the alarm about what the Chinese Communist Party is wanting to do in terms of weaponizing our food supply.
And you have the Biden regime playing footsie with them, collaborating on them with farmland and everything in the agricultural realm.
What we're up against is not just run-of-the-mill You know, Democratic politics.
Our founding fathers, the Constitution that we have written, isn't even in the same paradigm with what we're up against now.
So when these people mock Democrats and say, oh well, what they're pushing is unconstitutional, that's exactly the point.
They never respected that document in the first place.
They want to burn it down.
They want to shred it, and frankly, I'd say look no further than that wonderful story from Henry Rogers if you want to look at what true degeneracy looks like on that side, because that, at the end of the day, is what they think of these institutions.
They don't respect it, and they want to use them to push subversive, dare I say, satanical, evil agendas that people who are here at this event want nothing to do with, and it's very empowering to be around like-minded people when you've been gaslit that you're crazy for so long.
steve bannon
Natalie, be my wingman for the Monday and Tuesday shows, four hours each day live.
We're going to be there at the studio.
Natalie, thanks.
Mo, give us an overview of AmFest.
Exactly, get ready.
I know you guys can handle the partying every night and come in and hit the deck plates running.
Mo, give us your overview of AmFest this year.
What are your thoughts?
maureen bannon
So we're expected to see significantly more people than we did here last year, which means that the grassroots effort is getting even bigger.
And they've split it up this year.
So Sunday is Turning Point Actions Day, where you'll have a ton of great speakers, including Congressman Matt Gaetz, Carrie Lake, and yourself.
You're closing out Sunday.
And then on Monday and Tuesday, we will have Turning Point USA speakers.
Expected to be many great speakers on those two days as well.
You know, everyone here is wanting to know how to get involved, so they will learn how to do that if they haven't learned already on both Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
steve bannon
By the way, I want to thank Mo.
She's running around like a chicken with her head cut off.
She's the CEO.
She and Grace organize all the operational, administrative, and particularly all the sponsors, all the content, all of it.
So, honey, thank you so much.
Fantastic job.
Just great job.
Look forward to getting out there.
We're going to head out this afternoon immediately after the show.
The reason was we were going to have somebody in studio today, but we've rearranged that.
Rudy's going to join us, I think, by Skype now at 11 o'clock.
We're going to get Rudy's take.
He's still in Washington, but tied up in other meetings this morning.
He's going to join us at 11.
Jane Zirkle, the polling shows, when I say every ethnicity, every race, every religion, also every demographic.
Talk to me about Bloomberg.
You've got a piece up on Bloomberg, about this Bloomberg assessment about the youth vote.
unidentified
Yeah, so the Morning Consult did a study on seven different swing states, including Arizona, which we are in right now.
And it showed that President Trump is up 47% to Joe Biden's 42% amongst those seven swing states.
And they attribute that largely to Generation Z and their dissatisfaction with Joe Biden's handling of the economy, and interestingly enough, student loan debt cancellation.
Generation Z on one hand feels that Joe Biden has not done enough with student loan debt cancellation.
And when you're talking about Generation X and the Millennials, they feel that he's done way too much.
He's already canceled $127 billion of student loan debt.
But I think what's happening right now, and as we've seen, and I just want to echo from the Emerson College poll that I discussed with you the other day, is there's an economic awakening going on amongst young people.
And I also want to distinguish between those under 30 for those under 25 and those over 25.
President Trump nationally is actually beating Joe Biden by two percentage points with those 25 to 30 years old, which is huge because this is a demographic that really launched Biden into victory.
steve bannon
Big time.
I tell you, you three hang on.
I'm going to come right back to you.
Natalie, Jane, and Mo are at AmFest.
Grace is going to head out there later today.
We're heading out there also.
We've got Philip Patrick a little later.
We've got Rudy's going to join us about this situation yesterday.
From Rome, we've got the one and only Ben Harnwell.
We've got a lot of wood to chop today in the war room.
Get a hot cup of coffee.
Go to warpath.coffee.com right now.
Get your dark roast.
Let's get fired up on a Saturday.
unidentified
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Batt.
steve bannon
OK, Philip Patrick's going to join us in the second hour.
We're going to break down everything that's been going.
People should understand there is a massive movement underway by the deep state, the administrative state on the financial side.
This whole pivot Uncalled for because of where inflation still is, and core inflation still is, and they're talking about four rate cuts next year.
The Treasury Department with Janet Yellen, who was former Fed Chair, she knows where all the pockets of cash are.
They are flooding the zone with liquidity.
The deep state is telling you, I think part of it, hey, It's part of it's about the end of the dollar empire, particularly the fourth installment where we kind of out the fact that we got off the convertibility of the dollar into gold with an executive order.
Think about it because it couldn't pass a law because the American people would not tolerate that.
So make sure you go to birchgold.com, check it all out, slash Bannon, check it all out.
Talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
Okay, Natalie, I'm going to start with you.
What do you believe is the most important thing we could come out of?
Because this kind of kicks off, it ends 23, we're going to summarize the year, we're going to do a lot of that out there with the team, but it's also to fire off the football with some muzzle velocity for 24.
What do you think is the most important thing we could come as a takeaway to lead us to victory in November 2024, ma'am?
natalie winters
Well, setting aside hopefully a lot of selfies and autographs from you, I think the most important thing that we can have coming out of this event really is the case, the, I think, actual substantive plan forward for election integrity, because it doesn't matter what the polls say.
It doesn't matter if we're winning or losing on the issues if we don't actually have an election, but we have rather a Selection, or we're just counting ballots and not actual legal votes.
And I think what we really need to drill down on and really understand, we can sort of reverse engineer the left's playbook when it comes to elections by using, I think, the age-old strategy of they accuse us of what they're guilty of, right?
The Alinskyite axiom that they're just projecting what their plans are.
And we've seen that, right?
Remember for how long they were saying, oh, the election was stolen because Russia, Russia, Russia, foreign election interference.
That essentially, I think, Is their playbook.
I think we know they're not going to play by the rules.
And when you see them calling Trump a dictator, you see them leaning in to this autocratic narrative, this authoritarian regime.
That's because they run elections like authoritarian regimes.
I think to say they run elections like third world countries is frankly a dunk and a slam on third world countries.
I'd be lucky and I'd be honored if we ran elections as good as they do in third world countries here.
But unfortunately we don't.
We need to start pre-gaming what they're going to do to roll out another public health emergency to bring in, whether it's lockdowns on the climate front, on the pandemic front, on the disease X front, to institute that universal vote by mail.
So I think we really need to come out strong against that because like I've always said, these people are autocrats, they're authoritarians, they envy the power, they envy the authority that the Chinese Communist Party has over the Lao-Bai Jing.
And that's the circumstantial evidence that you know the Bidens were in business with the Chinese Communist Party because their tactics, their ruling styles rubbed off on them.
That's why you see lawfare going on.
And frankly, my favorite thing, I was watching MSNBC this morning and they said, well, the reason why Hunter Biden isn't guilty in what he did shouldn't be looked at as an impeachable offense in the context of his father is because I agree with you 1000%.
can engage in insider trading. I agree with the latter point there, but it's a non sequitur.
And these people are, we're so over the target. And I think we just need to celebrate that we can all come together at an event like this, not be shut down. We don't have to wear masks.
And like I said, really create a battle plan going forward on the selection integrity front.
steve bannon
Fantastic. I agree with you 1000%. Captain Maureen Bannon, your thoughts.

I agree with Natalie 1000% as well. And I also agree that The biggest takeaway...
is the action plan and to figure out how to go forward for 2024 and realize that we can't sit by the wayside and watch what's happening to this country continue.
We need to get involved.
And that means everyone, every single person that comes out here, every single person that watches War Room, watches the stream of AmFest, needs to understand that it takes the grassroots effort.
That's how we are going to get this country back.
And you can't sit by the wayside and expect someone else to do the work for you.
Amen.
Building a cadre.
That's why we're coming out there and we want to thank Real America's Voice for doing such a great special job.
Monday and Tuesday as well, the action plan and that everyone needs to get involved.
As we say in the war room, action, action, action.
steve bannon
Amen.
Building a cadre, that's why we're coming out there and we want to thank Real America's Voice for doing such a great special job.
We want to meet everybody out there.
As Natalie says, it's more than just the selfies and the greeting to make sure we're all of one mind in coming out of this, that we must win in 2020.
It's upon us to make sure that we do win.
Jane Zirkle, your thoughts, ma'am.
unidentified
It's about education.
It's about countering the propaganda that young people are spoon-fed in school and in the media.
And particularly when it comes to the student loan debt conversation, it's really interesting to look at the polling data on Generation Z and the economy, because they're having a lot more in-depth conversations and a greater understanding of how the economy works.
They're mentioning terms like money, like inflation, and that goes hand-in-hand when you're having a conversation about something like student loan debt.
Because any reputable economist will tell you that it drives up inflation, it hurts the labor market, and it's a huge burden on the taxpayer.
And currently, with the Joe Biden economy, that's just not something that we are equipped to take on.
steve bannon
Natalie, Jane's been doing some great work here about the youth vote.
I've been harping a long time saying, hey, you guys are nothing more than Russian serfs.
You don't own anything.
You're not going to own anything.
And in the last couple of months, last four or five months, I've been saying, hey, if you like it, if you like these policies, if you like where you are economically, keep voting for it.
You're free men and free women.
It's a free country.
Do you think that that's showing up now, that your generation is starting to wake up to the fact that there's essentially debt slaves or credit card slaves, you know, they get a little bit of credit and then they're just on the wheel and they'll never get off unless we break these totalitarian, authoritarian, neoliberal, neocon policies, ma'am?
natalie winters
I think what they're waking up to is the fact that all of this is by design, right?
It's the great reset.
You'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
But I think what people are realizing is both of those premises are false.
People don't want to not own anything.
I'm aware that's a double negative, but I think people are rejecting that sort of World Economic Forum mindset.
And more importantly, on the other side of things, I'm not sure if we're still live and I should keep talking.
Yes, keep talking, we're good.
But I think on the latter part, the you'll be happy, I think that is where the youth is more interested and I think that's what you see a lot going on here at Turning Point.
These fake narratives, whether it's like the Taylor Swift special we did, the sort of new opium of the masses, which is, you know, buy into these crazy gender ideologies, buy into transgenderism, buy into hookup culture, buy into stuff like that.
I think younger people are no longer buying into that, and I think that's sort of the gateway drug.
I know for me it was personally, and I'm sure you guys probably share a similar experience, but when you're exposed to these ideas and you realize these cultural issues, that the establishment has been so wrong on them, For so long, it opens your eyes to how they've been lying about the economy, too.
And of course, they bombard you with the numbers.
And if you just read the headlines that you see from the mainstream media, you would think the economy is great.
But as you always say, Steve, people's lived experience is so different from what you're seeing in the media.
And when I think you see that chasm between reality and what the media is telling you, It gives you that impetus.
It gives you that strength to really start to question it.
And Steve, that's why we see so many young people here.
It shouldn't be lost on anyone.
This isn't just a gathering event for people who, you know, feel the same way you do and are in your age group.
It's primarily for young people.
And I think we need to celebrate that because, like I said, I know we've done shows on this before.
It's very hard to be young and think the way that we do, right?
They want you to feel crazy, I'd argue.
There's a chemical warfare, spiritual warfare to have you feel crazy all the way down to the food supply and all of that.
steve bannon
Thank you guys.
We're going to try to get our video reworked.
You guys hang out there.
I'm going to come back to you, maybe talk to some of the folks.
Let's go to Rome in Ben Harnwell.
Ben, part of the predicate here is just what happened in the house before they left on Christmas vacation or Christmas holiday.
They're not back to the ninth.
But this big thing we hear right now, the Senate is still there.
The Senate is with Lankford of Oklahoma and what he should do is get on a plane and go back to Oklahoma.
They're trying to put some bells and whistles, some trinkets on border security.
We already got enough laws in the book that just have to be enforced, but they're trying to put some trinkets on border security to try to sell.
They're still maniacally trying to sell the 60 to 80 billion dollars going to Ukraine.
Just give me your sense.
ben harnwell
Why is it?
steve bannon
That they're so obsessed.
The Biden regime, the Uniparty, the Atlanticists with Zelensky.
When you look in Europe right now, in every paper, all my contacts, all my sources are telling me, hey, if the Americans come in, we're going to come in for something.
But if the Americans don't come in, we're out.
We're not going to independently step up for these guys.
Your thoughts?
ben harnwell
I think at this point, Steve, it's simply cosmetic.
That is to say, the administration knows that it's not going to get 61 billion for Zelensky anymore.
And in fact, I think it really wants to, you know, we've been covering this now for so many weeks on the show, it's really distancing itself from the regime via assorted leet.
briefings in the press, which we have been seriously reporting on.
So why is it doing this?
Well, I think it's because, as I suggested earlier on in the week, what the main policy objective now for the administration is to extricate itself from Ukraine.
And obviously, the huge wave of negative press reports when Ukraine inevitably collapses after that withdrawal, that financial withdrawal, to do that, to extricate itself while pinning the negative Press and fallout on the GOP.
That's, I think, fundamentally what this is now about.
The Democrats do not want this albatross around their necks as they're heading in towards the election year of next November.
That's absolutely fundamental.
But if it's Biden, if it's not Biden, they cannot still have the financial commitments to Ukraine hanging around their neck.
They obviously don't want the huge shame and embarrassment of being responsible.
So the idea, I think, the reason why they're pushing and pushing and pushing on this is that they're pushing the GOP to come forward and block it explicitly.
And then, of course, the Democrats, the White House finally say, well, folks, we did our best, but we don't have control of the House of Representatives.
And therefore, there is only so much we can do.
If you want to know why the Zelensky machines fall in.
steve bannon
OK, but here's what I'm missing.
You got to explain this to me.
It's told here that this is existential for Europe, and this is why they're handcuffing Trump on NATO, by restricting what he can do, or trying to, it's not going to work.
Restricting what he can do as Commander-in-Chief when he comes back in.
It's supposed to be existential for Europe.
What shocks me is Zelensky does a face plant here, goes back.
I don't see any European, I don't see any group coming together and saying this is existential.
We need to step up and figure out how we cover the 60 or 80 billion dollars the Americans are going to put in.
If it's existential to European security, where's the outcry from either citizens in Europe or the political leaders?
ben harnwell
Well, as of this point, as of, I think, the last 48 hours, Viktor Orban, the heroic prime minister of Hungary, has vetoed provisionally the European Union's financial plan intention of giving, I think, some 51 billion euros.
That must come out about 53, 54 billion dollars.
to, to, to Ukraine.
Right.
And Hungary vetoed that.
It was, it was the exact opposite of what Hungary itself had said it was going to do.
It said it was going to veto Ukrainian accession, the initiation of Ukrainian accession to the European Union.
And instead, Orban absented himself from the vote.
But he did, unexpectedly, then veto this 51 billion euro aid.
steve bannon
But hang on, hang on, we're going to go to break.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're going to go to break.
I'm going to come back to you.
We're also going to go back to AmFest here in a little while.
Um, but it didn't seem, that seemed like, that seemed like it was, um, Kabuki theater.
I didn't see any outrage at all on the, it's like they didn't want to send the money.
I haven't seen any outrage to say this is existential.
Short commercial break.
Back in the warm in just a moment.
