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
Welcome to AmFest!
It's Monday, 18 December, Year of Our Lord 2023!
steve bannon
I can't hear you!
It's Monday 18 December year of our Lord 2023. I can't hear you Man it's good to be in there Carrie Lake is with us, joins us.
kari lake
Hello!
It's so good to be on, Steve.
They love you here.
This is crazy.
This is like, you ought to move right here and just stay in the convention center and do this every day.
steve bannon
Okay, we're going to do something different.
This is Ask Kerry Anything, okay?
Oh, geez.
She wants to be in the United States Senate.
We're going to ask some hard questions here.
Okay, here we go.
Do I have a question right here to Kerry?
kari lake
Who are you?
Get this guy over here quick.
Get Jason Whitlock.
unidentified
I'm a donor to Kerry's campaign.
steve bannon
Oh, my Lord.
unidentified
So now she works for me.
So, Steve, anyway, do whatever you were doing.
kari lake
You know Jason Whitlock, everybody.
steve bannon
Good to see you, Jason.
Jason Whitlock from Blaze TV.
kari lake
Supporter, donor, great American.
And, you know, I really want to go to D.C.
and work for the people.
It's been a long time since we've had people in Washington, D.C.
who, A, are working to restore what our founders envisioned, which is returning the government to We the People.
It's ours.
And so I want to do that, and I want to work for the people of Arizona.
steve bannon
You have some unfinished business here in Arizona.
Talk to us about that because the number one concern we have in Arizona is in 2024.
We know that President Trump is going to win on the number of legitimate ballots.
We know that Carrie Lake's gonna win on the number of legitimate ballots.
You won the governorship.
You're the real governor.
He's the real president.
But how do we make sure we close that out on what you're working on today on election integrity, particularly in the courts?
kari lake
Well, and you see what's happening with President Trump.
He's being raked over the coals, dragged into the courts.
The Department of Justice is harassing him.
And the same thing's happening to us.
Tomorrow I'm going to be going off to court.
An elected official, an elected election official, suing me for defamation, for having the courage to speak out about what they're polling on the voter.
And how our elections are being run.
So they want to silence us.
And I talked about this in my speech last night.
They want to harass us to death so that we will just give up the fight.
steve bannon
So how are you fighting back?
kari lake
I'm not laying down.
I'm not dying.
I'll show up in court and we'll continue to fight.
We got it.
We got 11 months to save this country.
11 months.
So, you know, I know President Trump, he gives me encouragement because he gets up and fights every day.
And frankly, I see all of you and I get encouragement.
I see little Rocco over here.
I get encouragement.
This is why we're doing it for our future, for our kids.
And as long as you guys are going to keep fighting with me, then I'm going to keep fighting.
Is that okay?
unidentified
Good.
steve bannon
Okay, I noticed that Katie Hobbs just called out the National Guard to the border, right?
You were going to take your oath of office down on the border.
Why has Katie Hobbs waited, what, two years?
Over a year and a half to send anybody to the border?
Is the border out of control?
kari lake
Well, the Democrats even recognize that.
When the Democrat voters say, you got to do something about the border, that's when the Democrat politicians say, oh, we better act like we're doing something.
And she's going to finally send the National Guard down there.
I think they're going to be processing people coming over illegally.
steve bannon
Oh, they're not sending people back?
They're in process?
kari lake
Well, and she took down the barrier we had on week one.
And so the Democrats don't care about the border.
They're for a wide-open border.
Their voting record demonstrates that.
They've never been for a secure border.
You know why?
They love this problem.
They love that people are pouring in.
They see future voters.
But more importantly, they see billions of dollars in spending that they can say they're putting on the border But it's on all the symptoms that a wide open border.
They don't want to shut the border down.
And we need to actually build the wall.
unidentified
Okay.
kari lake
Cheapest way to fix the problem.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
What is the best argument you have against Senator Sinema?
As you're running against her.
It's true, it's true.
Why do I vote for Carrie Lake?
Why do the good folks in Arizona vote for Carrie Lake over Sinema?
kari lake
Well, it's real simple.
I mean, do you want a secure border?
Do you want a strong economy?
Do you want energy independence?
Kirsten may say she's an independent, but since she became an independent, she's voted with Joe Biden, the most unpopular president ever, the most corrupt president ever.
She's voted with him 100% of the time.
She's a liberal.
We have another liberal named Ruben Gallego.
And we don't want those policies.
Those policies don't work.
They make everything more expensive.
They make our families less safe.
They make our streets less safe.
And frankly, they make the globe less safe.
I mean, there's therefore endless wars.
They never met a conflict they didn't love, and they want to just continue to destroy everything they touch.
So I think that's the reason.
unidentified
Natalie?
Sure.
I think the reason why the War Room Posse loves you so much is because you're about action, action, action.
And I think, like we were talking this morning, you guys probably want to see a little more movement out of the investigations we have going on on Capitol Hill, right?
kari lake
Yes.
unidentified
And I'm curious, from your perspective, how do you adjudicate the current, whether it's the Weaponization Subcommittee, the Impeachment Inquiry, the China Select Committee, do you think those are good examples of what accountability looks like in Washington, D.C.?
natalie winters
Or how would you work to change that if elected?
kari lake
Well, I mean, these committees, and they pull people in, and they're great, but then what happens afterwards?
So we just had somebody speak, and then nothing?
So we need to have some action on the back side of it.
But I think we need to get a committee, actually, and start bringing in people involved in all of these questionable elections, all around the country, and set them in front of Congress, and have them testify under oath on exactly what went wrong.
Because we're seeing that nothing's being done at the state level to investigate this.
The courts aren't doing anything, and I as a senator would love to hold a committee hearing where we bring in people from around the country and ask some very hard questions about what went on during these elections.
We've got to get honest elections in this country.
And while I know that it is the state legislature that is responsible for setting up election laws and rules, the people want answers as to what went wrong and who was behind it.
steve bannon
If you were in the Senate today, And the House did an investigation and voted to impeach Joe Biden.
When it came to trial in the Senate, how would you weigh and measure the evidence?
What would you be looking for to vote for a conviction?
Two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote in favor of a conviction.
You're the jury in an impeachment to remove Biden from office.
What evidence?
That evidence hasn't been put forward to date.
A lot of it has, but not formally.
They're going to do that over the next two or three months.
If they vote to impeach, how would you judge that evidence as it came to trial in the Senate?
kari lake
Well, a lot of people have said, why haven't they already impeached him?
And I'm glad that they're doing this methodically.
We want to make sure the evidence is hard and true, because we saw what they did with President Trump, which was a bogus impeachment.
If we're going to impeach a president, we've got to make sure we've dotted the I's and crossed the T's.
And I trust that they will do that.
steve bannon
So it's not political.
It's done either bribery, treason, high crimes and misdemeanors.
kari lake
But I have a feeling we have all of that with Joe Biden.
Now, I don't have the evidence in front of me, but I know from what I've heard of what they've got, this guy's been paid off.
His family's been paid off.
I say Joe Biden's not just incompetent.
Worse than that, he's compromised.
He's compromised by our adversaries.
And so if we have proof, and I think they will bring forth the proof, I think it's going to be a real slam dunk, real easy to vote yes on that.
Absolutely.
unidentified
There's a real sleazy, dirty, corrupt word I think that we haven't said on this show yet today.
That's Ukraine.
And I'm just curious in terms of foreign aid packages, we know there have been no meaningful substantive audits so far.
Would you commit or would you prioritize if in the Senate, looking into where those funds have actually gone and on the back end of that, Holding these swampy D.C.
defense contractors, the oligarchs in Ukraine, accountable for our tax dollars that they've stolen to fund who knows what with God knows who, God knows where.
kari lake
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, we have sent, is it getting close now to $200 billion to Ukraine?
unidentified
Right.
kari lake
It is such an insult to the people of this country, especially sitting here in Arizona.
We have a wide open border.
I think the last figure I heard was it would take $10 billion to finish that wall.
Have you heard that figure?
steve bannon
Yes.
kari lake
Give or take.
How many of you would have rather sent 10 billion down and finish the wall than one penny to Ukraine?
Everyone's got two hands up.
steve bannon
Yeah.
kari lake
Absolutely.
We've got to start protecting our own country.
And so, yes, we need accountability.
Where did the money go?
I have a feeling a lot of it was spent on a bunch of stuff that was absolutely, that would outrage people.
steve bannon
Should the Senate have an investigation about where the money in Ukraine went?
kari lake
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
steve bannon
You guys for that?
You're for that?
kari lake
Investigation and then let's have it follow up with evidence that we can actually take to a court of law if there was some criminal activity.
I know that a lot of it went through FTX.
steve bannon
Who's got a question for Kerry?
Right here.
unidentified
Hi.
Kerry, what can we do to hold them accountable and get back to obeying the laws of the Constitution of the United States?
kari lake
Holding what, the lawmakers accountable?
That's a good question.
steve bannon
What about DOJ and the FBI?
What would you do in the Senate to hold them accountable?
kari lake
So many of these three-letter agencies aren't even constitutional.
And we have a lot of dead weight.
And I think President Trump, of all people, is going to be very dead set on rooting out the corruption in these agencies.
They're not elected officials.
We didn't elect the head of the EPA or the DOJ to come in and destroy our lives.
And they've obviously been weaponized against us.
I think we need to cut the size of government, obviously.
Great place to start.
Someone said, where do you start cutting?
You know that literally thousands of federal employees haven't been showing up for work ever since COVID.
They're still kind of working from home.
You go into these offices and they're empty.
But all of the desks Actually have an employee attached to them that's getting paid.
So if you haven't been showing up due to COVID and you're still not showing up, that tells me that your job isn't really that mandatory.
Let's start cutting right there, people who aren't showing up for work.
But we have to root out this corruption.
We get somebody in and President Trump may come in and appoint people to head up these departments.
But it's the guys below the head of the department that are the problem.
They're there forever and ever and ever.
steve bannon
A lot of these departments have not been reauthorized.
like Justice Department, there's like half the agencies have not been annually reauthorized or every couple of years.
Would you push for that?
Like they have an annual defense authorization where you go through all the policies.
Would you push for authorizing every couple of years like the Justice Department to make sure you go through all the policies and take out the people and the bureaucrats that shouldn't be there?
kari lake
Cut out the bureaucrats, the dead weight, the people who've been politicized to the point where they don't want anybody in the White House, in Congress who's going to shrink the size of the government.
But guess what?
The American people want that.
The American people want that.
steve bannon
Republican senators have been blocking massive cuts on the federal budget.
We now have a $2 trillion annual deficit, $34 trillion in debt.
One of the biggest holdups is not the House.
It's the Republicans that continue to vote for Democrats.
What are you going to do on the budget?
What are you going to do to cut spending?
kari lake
Well, we just need to cut some of the waste.
I mean, obviously, there's mandatory spending that we have to do, and then there's a whole bunch of other stuff.
And I'm going to think every time when we've got a spending package, if it's got a bunch of waste in there that the American people aren't for, you know, what they do is they tie something necessary.
Maybe it's spending for our veterans, spending for senior citizens or Social Security.
They try to tie that to something that the people aren't for.
Pork.
That's what they call it.
And then they hang it over your head and they say, well, she didn't vote for veterans.
So I'm going to use my mouth, and I have a very loud mouth and a powerful mouth, to go out in front of the cameras and explain this.
A lot of these senators, I'm going to say I feel for them.
Because they get hung out to dry that way, where if you don't vote for this package, we're going to say you didn't vote for the veterans, or we're going to say you voted against Social Security, or whatever it is that they try to destroy you with.
And they may not have The megaphone and a loud voice to say to the American people, here's what's going on right now.
I mean, thank God for people like Steve Bannon to be our megaphone.
But I'm going to have a loud voice.
And so when they try that, when they try to pin the mandatory stuff that we've got to spend on with a bunch of pork or, worse yet, spending that is only stoking war and stoking conflict, I'm going to use my voice to alert the people of what's going We've got about 30 seconds.
steve bannon
Where do people go to your site to get more information, to donate, and to volunteer?
You need volunteers, right?
kari lake
We need volunteers, especially after the first of the year.
We're really going to get things moving, and this campaign is going to get hot.
It's going to be fast, and people are going to be watching this.
It's the most important campaign, aside from President Trump's, in the country.
We're going to take a Senate seat back from the Democrats here in Arizona.
Carrylake.com.
Carrylake.com.
steve bannon
If Carrylake wins in Arizona, President Trump will win, and President Trump will be President of the United States.
Any doubt about that?
kari lake
Gotta have them both.
We gotta have them both.
steve bannon
Carrylake!
kari lake
Thank you!
steve bannon
We're gonna take a short commercial break.
We're gonna be back in one moment here at AmFest with the Roaring Posse.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bach.
Welcome back, AmFest 2023, Roaring Posse!
steve bannon
It's almost happy hour, so they're gonna run through the tape.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon
We're putting the band back together.
unidentified
We have a- Wait, what do you mean almost?
It's happy hour somewhere.
It's always happy hour for Rahim.
steve bannon
Rahim, thank you.
We're putting the band back together.
Rahim was, you know, the first person that Natalie worked for, right?
unidentified
That is true.
My only bosses in my entire life have been Rahim Kassam and Stephen K. Bannon.
It's a hard life.
steve bannon
I can attest that Natalie has no bosses.
She's boss girl.
unidentified
No, we don't.
We don't like girl bossing here in the war room, but... No girl boss.
No girl boss.
steve bannon
Ava, thank you very much for joining us.
eva vlaardingerbroek
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Now, you've been Jack Basovic's co-host the last couple of days.
eva vlaardingerbroek
Yes, yes.
It's been a pleasure.
It's been an honor.
It's my first time at MFest, and I'm having a wonderful time.
steve bannon
Let's hear it for... Hold it.
Hang on.
Poso is harder to get the mic away from than me.
I mean, how have you been co-hosts with her?
That's harder than Natalie's job.
Raheem knew it.
He did two years that I've had enough.
unidentified
Punched out.
eva vlaardingerbroek
Yeah, I'm European, so we know.
steve bannon
You know how to get along.
eva vlaardingerbroek
Yeah, exactly.
But it's been wonderful, and it's great to meet all of you guys in person, because I've been working with you for a while.
steve bannon
Yes, a couple of years.
eva vlaardingerbroek
A lot of you guys, we've all met online, and it is just wonderful to finally conspire with the right people in the United States.
steve bannon
What's the change in Rahim when he worked with me over at Breitbart?
was doing the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, Sharia, supremacy, but it's 10 times worse.
Talk to us about what's happened in your country and in that part of Europe.
eva vlaardingerbroek
Well, Europe, you know, the mass immigration to Europe has been detrimental to our continent, and you could say that many European cities are no longer European.
Even in my short lifespan, you know, I'm 27 years old.
I've seen the town that I grew up in change beyond recognition.
steve bannon
Really?
Tell us about that.
eva vlaardingerbroek
Absolutely, the demographic change is out of control.
I know that you guys here in America have a border crisis of your own, but you know, we have the European Union, these oftentimes unelected bureaucrats that have decided for us that our continent is just right open to anybody who wants to come and profit off of our social benefits.
And especially in the northwestern countries like the Netherlands, you know, we have people coming in who get free housing right this second when they come, and people like myself, you know, have to be on waiting lists for Basically decades before they even get considered for any type of social benefits.
And, you know, that's just the economic side of things.
But when we talk about the cultural consequences, those are much worse, if you ask me.
We have cities where non-Western immigrants are now the majority.
You know, we are literally being replaced in real time.
steve bannon
So it is real replacement theory.
It's not a theory, it's practice.
eva vlaardingerbroek
I mean, if you have two functioning eyes, you can see it's not a theory, it's reality.
steve bannon
Why are the politicians... When Rahim first started this, what, 12 years ago?
14 years ago?
unidentified
You were called a racist, a nativist, although you're... An Islamophobe.
steve bannon
Oh, you were raised Muslim, right?
unidentified
Badge of honor, baby.
steve bannon
Yeah, no, but they called you every name in the book.
unidentified
Sure.
Sure, but what I'm also interested in is, you know, after we did Brexit, something somebody may have heard of here, Brexit, right?
It was 2016.
steve bannon
By the way, Rahim was the architect of Brexit.
He was the wingman of Nigel Farage.
Nigel Farage was the happy face of Brexit.
unidentified
Yeah, he was the happy face.
I was and remain the angry face of Brexit, right?
You have to have the balance.
But after Brexit, you know, we were told, oh, you know, Frexit's coming and Nexit's coming and, you know, Irexit's coming, but none of those ever seemed to get there.
And I guess my question for you is, There is obviously the rise of the right in many European countries, and you see other places get stronger.
I mean, I've known Geert Wilders for 12, 13 years now.
The Vox guys in Spain, all of this.
But why is the European Union still an untouchable thing for so many of these European political parties?
It's the EU that's forcing these migrants in.
It's the EU's policies that are impoverishing communities.
It's the EU that is replacing Europe with not Europe.
So why not cut the head off the snake?
eva vlaardingerbroek
You are absolutely correct.
If we do not abolish the European Union, I think any other political, you know, effort is going to be extremely difficult in order to be successful.
So, the European Union needs to be burned down to the ground, metaphorically speaking, obviously, but yes, we need to... I'm a literalist kind of guy, by the way.
I can say that in Europe.
We have no First Amendment, guys, so... They never let me back in Brussels, baby.
The European Union needs to go.
The reason why it hasn't happened yet is, well, Brexit has been used by the media to scare all of us into believing that if we leave the European Union, we are going to financially crash.
Right?
The Netherlands, everybody believes that we're a tiny country that can't make it on their own.
And that is the power of the media apparatus.
With what we are doing here, with what you've been doing, Steve, and all of us, that is now changing.
And we just had elections in the Netherlands, and the so-called far-right party, Geert Wilders' party, won by a vast, vast, vast... You know, it was crazy.
We didn't expect it.
We did not see this coming.
One in four Dutch people now went to vote for the guy who was demonized.
But, well, for the past 20 years or so.
So something is changing in Europe, and I am hopeful that this will come.
steve bannon
Can it change fast enough?
Because what's happening in Europe is going to happen here unless we stop it with Trump, right?
It's just not a border wall.
All 9 million must be deported, must go back home.
Is that correct?
All 9 million?
unidentified
All of them?
steve bannon
Because if we don't do it, we're going to end up exactly like Europe is.
eva vlaardingerbroek
Yes, and you don't want that.
You really do not want that.
steve bannon
How close to civil war is places like France, Rahim?
unidentified
I mean, I would argue you've seen the start of it.
You've seen the running street battles.
And by the way, these are not running street battles between, you know, brown or black immigrants and white people.
This is internecine third world warfare that is being imported onto the streets of London, onto the streets of Paris, onto the streets of Amsterdam, all over Europe.
You've got the Turks fighting the Kurds and it's, you know, all of this stuff.
Sweden, as a prime example, The preponderance of grenade attacks that you see in Sweden, but it's migrant-on-migrant crime creating these, dare I say it, no-go zones all across Europe.
Somebody wrote a great book about that.
We'll have to find him in here.
All around Europe, and again, Eva, you can attest to this, right?
I mean, You have to bite your tongue often because you will be persecuted for these things.
If I said the things I say here in the United States of America, if I say them in my home country, I will be put in handcuffs, no shadow of a doubt.
steve bannon
Tell people that.
You don't have free speech there.
eva vlaardingerbroek
I cannot stress how important it is.
Even Geert Wilders, the man who just won our elections, he has been prosecuted and condemned for his criticism of Islam.
And you know, this man has to walk around with bodyguards 24-7 for his criticism of Islam because there are fatwas against him.
But it's not just the Islamic extremists, it's our own government, our own state who came after him.
You can't speak of free speech when that is happening, when they go after the dissidents, when they try to criminalize the opposition.
And that is our reality in Europe.
steve bannon
Are whites afraid to speak up?
And are minorities that have been there and have assimilated over three or four generations, are they afraid to speak up?
Is there fear there they can't stand up for their countries right now?
Is that one of the issues?
eva vlaardingerbroek
There is absolutely that fear, and that fear is real, you know.
The consequences are substantial, not just socially, but legally as well in Europe.
But, I am hopeful that the intimidation game, ladies and gentlemen, has finally lost its power.
steve bannon
of a lesson here.
Ava, how do people get to you?
Do you have a podcast now?
eva vlaardingerbroek
I want to start my own podcast, so thank you for mentioning that.
steve bannon
We should talk afterwards.
You think Ava ought to have a podcast put up on War Room?
I think I hear War Room Europe.
War Room Europe.
eva vlaardingerbroek
Yeah.
steve bannon
We would start that with Rahim, but I don't think he'll go back.
unidentified
No, I'm not going back.
Listen, if I even tweeted the things I tweeted from London, that would be it for me, you know?
I'd have to do it at His Majesty's pleasure.
Same, I need political asylum in the US, so... Where do people go to get your content?
eva vlaardingerbroek
Right now, best way to follow me would be on ex-formerly Twitter, at Ava Vlaar.
steve bannon
Wow.
Rahim, where do people go to get you?
unidentified
TheNationalPulse.com.
I hope we've got National Pulse members here.
TheNationalPulse.com is the place to go.
You know, really, Natalie built the National Pulse mostly by herself.
I'm just kind of the janitor over there.
I never got any equity.
Neither did I.
The NationalPulse.com and Raheem Kassam on all the platforms.
steve bannon
Talk about National Pulse real quickly to the people that don't know about it.
Why is it special?
What your commentary analysis like?
Here's an example.
They came out with a phony poll yesterday on Nikki Haley closing, you know, in New Hampshire, closing Trump to 15 points.
Raheem ripped it apart in about 20 minutes, right?
And posted it.
unidentified
Yeah, not by choice.
I did have Steve standing over me going, hey, I need this done, like, right now.
I was, like, sitting there in my pyjamas with my laptop.
It was like the old days.
It was like the old days.
The bad old days.
The theory of the case of the National Pulse is this, right?
All these news sites waste your time.
They insult you as a reader.
They want you to consume 900 words, 1,200 words.
It's riddled with ads.
We don't do any of that.
We get you in and out within 250 words.
What you want to know, we have a wonderful app as well that you can get the breaking news alerts and critically it's told from our perspective, from a nationalist, populist perspective.
So when the New York Times breaks a story, what do we always find that we're doing is reacting to that, right?
No, the point of the National Polls is we will get the story up first, we will get it up The briefest so people get the information and you will get that push Notification on the app so that actually they have to start reacting to us and how we set the news agenda So I think it's time We turn that on our heads the national pulse calm the app is free and you can sign up to support our work I'd really appreciate it fantastic.
steve bannon
Can we hear it for Eva and for Rahim?
unidentified
Thanks, man.
Thanks, man.
We'll talk to you about the podcast.
Shall I do the mic drop like Steve did yesterday?
Ah!
steve bannon
Rahim, you weren't good enough.
unidentified
Thanks guys, appreciate it.
steve bannon
Okay, we're gonna come back.
We got Ben Berkwam in the audience with some folks.

Very long.
Okay.
steve bannon
Hey, are you guys having a good time at AmFest?
Are you the cadre that's going to bring it home in 2024?
Let's go real quickly.
Ben Berkram, who do you got?
unidentified
So I've actually got three guys here, all running for Congress, all vets.
steve bannon
I'm going to start with J.R.
unidentified
Majewski, Air Force.
steve bannon
We've also got a Marine vet and a Navy vet.
unidentified
And then we actually have a guy from Israel whose son is fighting right now, fighting the jihadists in Gaza.
A lot of people know your story.
You ran for office.
steve bannon
Now they've attacked you.
The left has attacked you.
unidentified
Surprise, surprise.
Tell us your story.
Well, I ran for Congress last cycle.
I was on path to defeat the chairwoman of the Ukrainian caucus, swamp creature Marcy Kaptur, who's been in office for 40 years.
And it took a lie about my military service, accusations of stolen valor.
And they actually stole my military records, forged my signature, used my social security number.
It was an attack on guys like me that were all in for Donald Trump, all in for America First.
And we're coming back with a vengeance this cycle, and we're going to win.
And I can't wait to be a part of it.
I'm glad to be here with all of you from the War Worm Posse.
Senator Wendy Rogers is a great friend of mine, one of my first investments last year, so I'm happy to be here.
steve bannon
Where do people get more information about your campaign?
unidentified
It's JR at JR4Ohio, excuse me, that's my email, JR4Ohio.com.
Alright JR, we're going to get to these guys in just a second.
steve bannon
Just tell me your name real quick, where you running?
unidentified
David Serpa and I'm running for Congress in Riverside.
steve bannon
And where do they get your information?
unidentified
DavidSerpaForCongress.com.
steve bannon

Amen.
unidentified

unidentified
B-U-R-T-F-O-R-C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S.
My linktree's there.
steve bannon
Let's give it up for these guys who's here running for Congress!
unidentified
Stay tuned!
steve bannon
Stay tuned for some great stories!
How many precinct committee men do we have here?
Let's see those hands!
Alright, look at this right here.
You guys are the tip of the tip of the spear.
Okay, we're gonna start.
Trent Staggs, the mayor of Utah, he's here to replace Mitt Romney.
Does that work for you guys?
unidentified
Well, great to be here.
This is kind of where it all started, Turning Point Action.
I was endorsed back in July, right?
In Palm Beach at the event.
Grateful for that endorsement.
We went out, did 50 town halls around the state.
We kept talking about Mitt Romney and what he promised five years ago to Utah.
steve bannon
What do people in Utah think of Mitt Romney?
unidentified
Oh.
They said over and over again, fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
They were not going to support.
He went from 50% to 30% by September.
And so he said in September he wasn't going to seek re-election.
And so now we've got it.
We've got an America First candidate here who's going to go into office with President Trump and with Kerry Lake and with other great conservatives.
We're going to finally be able to get things done.
I think we have enough to hit critical mass where we're not just going to talk about things, we're actually going to be able to deliver for the American people, for all of you, for all you patriots.
steve bannon
Is Steve Daines in the Senate and Mitch McConnell, are they happy about your campaign?
unidentified
No, and neither is Mitt Romney.
He has his own lapdog, his Mitt Romney 2.0.
They're trying to prop up an establishment candidate.
That's been the problem in our party, Steve, as you know.
We've got to push back against the establishment.
We need people that are actually going to stand up, say no, fight, and push back.
That's what's typified my 10 years in elected office.
We're going to do it day one in D.C.
steve bannon
Trent, you're a big fan.
You've got a lot of fans here in the audience.
Where do people go?
Let's hear it for Trent.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon
Paul, where do they go to find more information?
unidentified
They go to TrentStags.com, that's S-T-A-G-G-S, TrentStags.com, at Mayor Stags on social.
Grateful for all the support, thank you.
steve bannon
By the way, a vote for this guy is up in your face to Mitt Romney, right?
This is the one guy Mitt Romney does not want to take his seat.
unidentified
No, and it's like effectively a flip in the state of Utah.
People ask, well, so Republican.
But we have a chance to get rid of Mitt Romney, who voted 60% plus at the time with Biden, encouraged Biden to run, and he's still saying that he'd be a better president than President Trump.
steve bannon
He says he's going to vote for him over Trump.
unidentified
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
He is just, he's checked out.
He's not in tune with the people of Utah.
I am.
We're going to finally put somebody in there that can represent him.
steve bannon
Amen.
Trent Staggs.
Let's make sure we go to the site and check it out.
Colonel, you ever heard of Colonel Wendy Rogers?
Colonel Rogers, how we doing here in Arizona?
Are we going to be able to close the deal in 2024?
unidentified
Well, first of all, Merry Christmas, everyone.
steve bannon
Merry Christmas, Colonel.
unidentified
We go back into session on the 8th of January.
We have a one-vote majority in the Arizona legislature, both the House and the Senate.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
You may have mathematically one vote, but you don't have... I mean, how many MAGA people in the House?
How many MAGA people in the Senate?
unidentified
We have the most conservative caucus that we've had in ten years.
It's truly awesome.
And we're sort of the de facto AG in the state.
We have, I think, eight or nine lawsuits now as the Arizona Senate, which is an unheard of role for us, to keep Hobbs within the guardrails.
steve bannon
Okay, so what action is going to happen and how can this posse have your back?
unidentified
This posse needs to man up at every spot along the way during the elections to make sure it's not stolen again.
They will do everything they can to cheat.
And steal our election.
And we're doing everything we can.
steve bannon
So how's the Senate, what are you guys doing specifically to stop that?
unidentified
None of our bills have been able to get through.
However, we are working with the calendar of the counties for 2024 to make sure that not as much fraud and corruption occur with the ballots that are at the end of the process.
There are very many sort of under-the-radar workarounds.
I'm chairman of the Senate Elections Committee.
We will be having not one, but two quite revelatory sessions the 29th of January.
We'd love for you to cover.
steve bannon
I'd love it.
We'll be there.
Here's a question.
Are we going to have a free and fair election?
In Arizona, so that, remember, the 2020 election was stolen in this state.
It was.
The 2022, Carrie Lace, the legitimate governor, Abe Holidays, the legitimate Attorney General, is the Senate committed now that we're going to have a free and fair election in 2024?
unidentified
We're going to do everything we can, but they will try to steal it.
And so, the more we expose of all the ways that it did happen, the more we will be cognizant of being able to prevent it.
We must turn out to vote overwhelmingly so that we win.
steve bannon
Where do people go to get all the information about this?
unidentified
WendyRogers.org.
Sign up.
Wendy Rogers.
Wendy like the hamburgers.
Rogers like MrRogers.org to get my updates.
steve bannon
Fantastic.
Guys, let's give it up for Wendy Rogers.
Thank you, guys.

mike lindell
All the stuff's on sale.
Steve loves the flannel sheets.
They're on sale with the war room posse.
steve bannon
I've known Mike a long time.
He's taken a lot of abuse.
He's been, you know, he's been hammered by everybody, the media, everything like that.
But I've never seen, you know, he's a devout Christian.
Christ saved his life by committing himself to Christ.
I've never seen Mike Lindell.
Ever.
Get angry, short-tempered with everything going on, except for one time.
One time, one time, when a lawyer said, is this 800 number to call to complain about your lumpy pillows?
mike lindell
You go after my product and my employees, you're going to hear about it.
unidentified
There's no lumpy pillows.
steve bannon
What do people have to do?
Today's the last day.
mike lindell
Today's the last day.
You need to order before tomorrow morning at 6 a.m.
I'm buying the free shipping guaranteed before December 24th on your whole order.
And you guys, my employees love you.
We have a number you can call in at 800-673-1062.
unidentified
800-873-1062.
steve bannon
I can't believe I remember that number, and he doesn't.
Of course, he's got 10,000 numbers.
mike lindell
Yeah, yeah.
steve bannon
Remember, tell the folks on the other end we got their back.
Remember, the IRS tried to take their jobs away from them forever.
mike lindell
Yeah, they tried to take the moms and dads working from home.
They went after them.
It's been the biggest attack on my pillow, and they did it to keep me silent over the last four months, but they failed.
I will never, ever, ever stop talking and trying to secure our elections.
That's a fact.
steve bannon
Is this election this year, in 2024, going to be secure, yes or no?
mike lindell
Yes, absolutely, everybody, with all your help.
We have a great plan.
Check out LyndellPlan.com.
This will secure our elections, you guys.
It is a great plan, and like I've been told, but it is our only plan.
unidentified
Okay, let's give it up.

Nicole, New Federal State of China, you just gave, he just gave a killer speech.
This is one of our brethren from Canada.
unidentified
Yes!
What was the speech?
Well, a major thing, uh, different is about, like, we, uh, expose three pieces of intelligence.
For the first time ever, like, we talk about CCP's behind the, uh, Hamas terrorist group.
They're building an army of mercenaries to support Hamas.
Wow.
And building arsenals.
Wow.
And DF-41, DF-10 series.
And putting different, uh, countries in the Middle East.
And also, they've built 11 Biological labs, secretly, like in many countries, many continents in South America.
steve bannon
Where are the 11 biolabs aware?
unidentified
In the Middle East, in Africa, in South America.
steve bannon
By CCP.
unidentified
By CCP.
steve bannon
Like Wuhan.
unidentified
Like Wuhan, like the one you found in California.
So it's very, very dangerous.
steve bannon
Miles Guo warned us about this, did he not?
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
Yes.
He said the CCP is going to build them everywhere.
unidentified
And he has been proved right every time.
And through time, we want people to witness our revelation and join us to take down the Chinese Communist Party.
And we do not ask you to fund us.
We do not ask you to fight the war for us.
The only thing we ask is to decouple from the Chinese Communist Party.
Should we decouple from the CCP?
steve bannon
The Xi Chinese, the Xi Communist Party.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
Where's the new federal state booth?
unidentified
Right over there!
Yes.
steve bannon
After the show today, I want everybody to try to go by.
We've got a 6 o'clock show right next door.
You've got to go by the New Federal State of China.
These are Laobai Xing that are working to take down the Chinese Communist Party with our assistance.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
So amazing.
You guys are doing such great work.
By the way, main stage speech.
You guys are growing every day.
I'm so proud to be associated with you.
Three miles grow!
unidentified
Three miles grow!
steve bannon
One of the greatest guys ever to come here and warn us about the Chinese Communist Party and the Justice Department and Biden have got him in federal jail now before trial.
Before trial, it's never happened before.
A guy's been locked up now for over a year so that Biden, so he can't come out and testify and give testimony about how Biden is bought and paid for by the CCP, which you're going to see in the impeachment hearings, which I hope Miles Groves is one of the top witnesses of that.
Thank you guys so much.
Nicole, you stay right here.
Let's get Nicole.
Lady in the Gray is going to join us.
unidentified
Another Nicole?
steve bannon
Right there.
Okay, you just got back from Clay Clark's Reawaken tour.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
That's a wild one, right?
This is very subtle.
This is very establishing compared to those brothers.
They get it on up there.
How was it?
unidentified
It was amazing.
There was about 2,500 people there.
It was pretty busy.
And Clay always does an amazing job.
And General Flynn was there.
And at the end, we sang Merry Christmas.
It was very festive.
It was a good time.
steve bannon
We're going to play the song.
Tell us about the song.
What inspired you?
unidentified
You know, I was at home and I was watching the burning down of the Notre Dame Cathedral, and it just really hit close to home because I had been there with my family the summer before, and it felt kind of personal, you know?
And this voice said to me, this is the trigger event to the modern day holy war.
Wow.
And I grabbed my guitar, and it all started from there.
Many long nights in my pajamas, late at night, writing, and now here we are.
steve bannon
Well, it's a big hit now.
If people want to play it, if people want to get it, where do they go?
unidentified
You can go to ladynogrady.com.
You can download it straight from there if you want to bypass Apple.
You can also watch the music video that I collaborated with with Max Evans.
The Max Evans, wow, on Getter.
Okay, our six o'clock show is gonna be right over here.
steve bannon
I'm actually gonna do a meet-and-greet, I think, right over here, if anybody wants to do it.
We're gonna end... I know it, I know it.
Come on, man.
Come on.
This is my girl.
Nicole is a fighter.
She's running the whole deal while Miles is preoccupied.
We're going to end now with the video, Modern Day Holy War.
You can meet Nicole afterwards.
We'll see you over here.
Back here tomorrow morning, 8 o'clock.
unidentified
You're going to be in the world.
Woo!
You're coming after my divine door, so holy, true.
Mother of day, holy war, shout your blessing, feed your sin.
No more, no more.
Cause Jesus puts the light in you.
Little children in a straight line, don't fall behind.
Mother knows the television's only meant to indoctrinate the mind.
Seeing ain't always believing, doesn't mean it ain't true.
Oh, and there's an unbearable evil right under you.
We're in a modern day holy war.
You're coming after my divine door, so holy, true.
Modern day, holy war.
♪ Count your blessings, be a sin no more, no more ♪ ♪ Cause Jesus put the light in you ♪ ♪ Light in you ♪ ♪ Oh, count your blessings, be a service ♪ ♪ Till His will is done ♪ Could you be a bit more?
Could it be true that everything you learned in school was always just a great big stupid lie?
Things you wouldn't believe, mind, can't conceive will probably make you break down and want to cry.
Don't you want to know how to stop?
