joe scarborough
And I do not believe that Americans will support a guy and put him back in the White House who betrays Israel, who betrays Ukraine, who betrays Taiwan, and who betrays freedom fighters across the globe.
unidentified
I don't believe it.
Donald Trump betrays pretty much every issue where the American people are.
I mean, it starts with Putin, it starts with our role in the world, and it starts with protecting Ukraine, it starts with protecting Israel, but it also goes to protecting a woman's right to choose for her body.
It goes to protecting against immigration, against the borders.
It goes to protecting against democracy.
You know, there's a right track, wrong track issue in polls all the time.
There's a right side, wrong side.
And what's stunning is beyond his own kind of personal liabilities on the issues.
He's wrong on everything.
And two things are going to happen as, and you guys touched on this in the previous hour, as we get close to the election.
Number one, we're going to see more and more of Donald Trump.
To me, if I had my way, there would be a town hall meeting every single night.
So as the light shines brighter on Trump, people are going to, as you talked about, it's a binary choice.
It's Trump or Biden.
You can go with Biden.
And as the light gets shone on the issues, he and the Republicans are on the wrong side of just about every issue that matters to Americans.
And that's what wins and loses elections.
Why do they bash America so much?
Yeah, and you know, the irony is if you travel around the world, which I'm fortunate enough to have a chance to do several times a year, you know what the rest of the world sees right now?
They see America with the strongest economy.
They see America with the most advanced technology.
America's universities still the brightest light on the horizon in terms of academics and research.
They see American companies still exceeding in terms of their global reach.
But you know what they really look down their nose at?
They look down their nose at Donald Trump being the leader.
I mean, what everyone says to you when you travel, well, you wouldn't elect him again, would you?
Hasn't the country learned?
You wouldn't ever give this guy power again, would you?
Tell us that he's not going to be re-elected.
Please tell us that you've learned your lesson.
So the only blemish on the great country of America worldwide is, in fact, Donald Trump.
And can I make a suggestion?
I move that every newspaper in America quits doing any fact-checks on Joe Biden until they fact-check Donald Trump every morning on the front page.
It is ridiculous that the New York Times fact-checked Joe Biden on something.
I mean, he vomits lies.
Trump vomits lies.
And every day, over and over and over again, and it's just ridiculous that the New York Times is doing a fact check on Biden while they let Trump, while they're numb to the torrent of lies coming out of Trump's mouth.
willie geist
And Mike, we were talking about how Donald Trump is narrow-casting when he talks about abandoning NATO allies and making them pay up.
Very unpopular minority opinion according to this new poll that we've been talking about this morning.
And so too is this Senate position on Ukraine.
Americans believe it's important to help Ukraine in this fight.
They don't want to see Russia win.
So they're digging deeper and deeper in fealty to Donald Trump into these positions that are not popular in this country.
unidentified
Yeah, led partially by people like Lindsey Graham, Joe and Miku just pointed out.
A sad, spineless figure that we thought we knew, but we don't really know.
And to Joe's point that he just raised about people in this country, what they believe in, they believe in the country, first of all.
And I'm wondering, yesterday, the former guy, D.J.
Trump, here's what he said in that town hall meeting.
We have a country that's dying.
We have a country that's failing.
A failing nation.
We have a nation in decline.
We are a nation in decline.
And my question is, to the people out there watching, to the people who go to work every day, who raise their children and pay their taxes, why is it that this new Republican Party, so many of them, people like Donald Trump, people like Lindsey Graham, why do they hate America?
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
unidentified
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
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. Bannon.
It's Thursday, 22 February, the year of our Lord, 2024.
Welcome to CPAC, the War Room Posse!
Wow.
Wow.
Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.
steve bannon
I know you want longer cold opens.
You want more Morning Mika?
Are you, but they call, they call you, on Morning Mika, they're calling you a confederacy of trash.
unidentified
Are you trash?
steve bannon
Do you like, do you like Morning Mika?
You know we do this to torment you.
unidentified
Now the winners.
steve bannon
Thank you.
Looking very perked after yesterday.
How many people were at the pregame?
Did you like it?
Was it good?
We got some really good news coverage.
You know, you guys, I think it was 500 people there for five hours.
Nobody left.
It just wasn't the free lunch because you stayed longer than lunch.
But really, really thank you guys a lot.
unidentified
We're here for three days of CPAC.
steve bannon
We had the official kickoff yesterday.
We're going to go in the audience.
This is audience participation.
So we're going to do almost all of it live, and we're bringing very few guests on the Skype, just if we absolutely have to for breaking news.
What we're going to do is get all the folks at CPAC that are going to speak, we're going to roll them in here, make sure that you guys get to meet them, and then they'll go in the audience and work the crowd, okay?
We're also going to have a bunch of our authors, the filmmakers, everybody will be hanging around, so we want to make sure.
This is interactive with you.
We're doing this because you guys are the best audience in the world, and quite frankly, coming out of this, we got a drive to 5 November for a big victory, right?
Morning Joe's saying Trump's broke, there's no money, that MAGA's losing enthusiasm.
Is Joe Scarborough right?
Natalie, your thoughts so far of what you see at CPAC?
unidentified
Well, I'm so excited to be here with the War Room Posse!
And I just have to say, I know I think we're going to get into what's going on, but no conspiracies, but no coincidences.
For those of you who have AT&T, I'm sure you know there's all these weird cyber attacks going on now.
Of course, it overlaps with the first day of CPAC, though I think they should have timed it with the Force Multiplier Academy, I would say.
But even more interesting, I'm sure you guys remember from the World Economic Forum what was one of the prevailing themes that they discussed.
A cyber pandemic.
steve bannon
Cyber pandemic.
unidentified
And cyber security attacks.
So I would just say it's interesting for the past few weeks you've really seen in the mainstream media this refrain that the Chinese Communist Party is going to attack us from a cyber security perspective.
But when does the mainstream media ever talk critically of the Chinese Communist Party?
Never.
So I would just say that is, I think, an interesting theme that we should watch throughout this conference.
steve bannon
How many phones went down this morning?
unidentified
Let's have a vote.
steve bannon
By the way, can we make sure, I'd love the real American, I want to make sure we get the audience on the screen.
Can we do that?
Camera can't do it yet?
Let me know when the camera can.
Okay, fine.
Small technical difficulty.
unidentified
We'll work through it.
Cyber security.
steve bannon
Cyber security, we're being attacked already.
unidentified
Here's what we're going to do.
steve bannon
We're going to start in the audience.
You know, I think we create- It's easy in the war room to create, you know, like, uh, celebrity monsters.
Is Ben Berkwan- No, I'm just kidding.
Ben, you're the best.
unidentified
Ben, Ben, Ben, you're going to get detailed back to the Darien Gap.
steve bannon
Steve, I'm actually heading to the Darien Gap Sunday.
unidentified
But Steve, we're not confederacy, whatever they called us.
No, no, no, no, no.
steve bannon
They called you a confederacy of trash.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
steve bannon
We're not a confederacy of trash, Steve.
We are We The People.
unidentified
That's what this is.
The whole room is We The People, and they don't want that.
steve bannon
But yes, we have amazing people out here.
God bless you.
Tell me where you are, what's your name, where you're from, and why you're here.
My name is Spencer Reyes.
unidentified
I'm from Wilton, Connecticut, and I am here to share the moral corruption and the moral bankruptcy of Western leaders that has led our country into a despair of national debt and to despair in the primrose path of Ukraine and on horrible foreign policy by Western elites.
Appreciate it.
steve bannon
Alright, sir, come here.
unidentified
What's your name?
Where are you from?
steve bannon
Where are you running?
unidentified
I'm retired Brigadier General Chris Mookie Walker.
Former commander of the West Virginia Air National Guard, and I'm the real MAGA candidate for West Virginia.
I'm running for the U.S.
House of Representatives, West Virginia District 2.
Please visit ChrisWalkerForCongress.com to check me out.
Make America great again.
steve bannon
You're a retired Brigadier General?
unidentified
I am.
steve bannon
Why are you MAGA?
unidentified
Well, because while Trump was in office, everything was better.
Our military was better.
When Biden came into office, everything turned upside down.
And I was biting my teeth.
I just retired back in October, and I had to bite my lip throughout all of that.
But now I'm telling it like it is.
All right.
God bless you, sir.
steve bannon
By the way, General, make sure one of our producers, we're going to get you in the next couple of days up here and give the whole show.
West by God, Virginia, right?
unidentified
Amen, amen, amen, man.
steve bannon
Ben, hang on one second.
Calamity Jane, what do you got for us?
unidentified
Can you please tell me your name and what brings you here?
My name is Anthony DiBella and I am from New Jersey.
I'm here because I am trying to be a force multiplier.
I wanted to meet everybody.
I wanted to meet Steve.
I've been a war room posse member since impeachment.
To pandemic, to now, and I actually am here with my producer, Chris.
We have a YouTube channel.
It's called Renaissance Man AD.
It's a Christian Catholic YouTube channel, and by divine providence, the first person that we met today was Bishop Strickland, and we got to have mass with him, and we got to pray.
Do we love Bishop Strickland?
How about you, young man?
What brings you here?
My name is Mo Snipes from Charlotte, North Carolina, and I'm here representing the teenage Republicans.
Tell me about what it's like to be a teenage Republican in 2024.
It's a little bit difficult, but unlike what the media shows, teenagers around the country, around my state, are on fire for Trump and are on fire for the Republican Party.
We're excited for the election.
steve bannon
Dude, are you an endangered species?
unidentified
What is a teenage Republican?
steve bannon
We got a couple that work for us.
Natalie and Will Blair and Jane.
unidentified
And Cameron.
steve bannon
In fact, our whole staff are teenagers.
What's a teenage Republican?
unidentified
We are Republicans and we are fired from the Republican Party.
We like to help out any candidates that need us and we just love America.
steve bannon
What do you love about Trump?
unidentified
No, it's not.
I like how he did everything that he said he was going to do.
steve bannon
I like how he did everything he said he was going to do.
unidentified
I like how he did everything he said he was going to do.
What he said, he did it.
What's your name and where are you from?
steve bannon
Hang on one second, Ben Burquam.
unidentified
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Ma'am.
I'm speaking to the ma'am.
Come here.
steve bannon
Big fan.
Big posse.
unidentified
Big posse.
You guys are my family.
Sandra from Bel Air, Maryland.
I love it.
All right.
steve bannon
And you're here to see that guy?
unidentified
I'm here to see everybody.
It's just...
Yeah, these are my people.
They understand me and speak for me every day.
I love it.
This morning, I'm getting ready, I hear the word ramparts in my head.
I'm literally hearing Steve Bannon's words.
steve bannon
What do you mean when we say get to the ramparts?
What does that mean to you?
unidentified
To go forward and attack.
steve bannon
Amen.
unidentified
Okay, I got it.
steve bannon
Are we gonna stop?
By the way, they had a, uh, I think it was in Politico this morning, they had a piece in Politico about, uh, Speaker Johnson had addressed the leadership in the House, and in talking to the House, he had actually brought in some biblical references, and he was talking about maybe having to shut down the government, secure the border, and the, and so... Yes!
unidentified
Yes, who wants to do that?
steve bannon
And there were...
Yeah, if we don't shut down the border, you want to shut down the government?
unidentified
Yeah!
steve bannon
Do you have Speaker Johnson's back on that?
Yeah!
Okay, so he said that, and Politico got some anonymous sources that were in the room to say, we didn't like the biblical stuff, we don't want to shut down the government, MSNBC will pick on us, Morning Meco say bad things about us, so we don't want to do it.
Are you tired of weak and worthless Republicans?
unidentified
Well, Steve, I was reading what the mainstream media was saying, not just about CPAC, but of course you guys, the attendees, and ABC's lead story on the event.
They said, three questions you should be asking yourself ahead of CPAC.
And the first one I would love for the audience to answer.
How much retribution do Republicans want?
steve bannon
Is unlimited an option?
unidentified
Do you want retribution?
steve bannon
Now, it's because they stole your country, right?
And trying to destroy it?
It's earned retribution, is it not?
unidentified
It's justice.
steve bannon
It's what?
unidentified
Justice.
steve bannon
Yes, we call it justice.
What's the other questions ABC asked?
unidentified
They want to know who you want to be the vice president for Trump.
And lastly, picking battles in the culture war.
steve bannon
Oh yeah, no, that's... But they lead with retribution, because they know that's... So everybody, okay, maybe you should listen to the speeches.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome, we're back here at CPAC Live, CPAC 24.
By the way, this audience is a little sleepy this morning.
unidentified
Have you had your... Warpath, come on!
steve bannon
I can't hear you!
Hang on one second.
We're here with an ambassador.
She was an ambassador in the Trump administration, Carla Sands.
Let's give it up for her!
Okay, here's a question.
You ran for the Senate.
I'm going to go to Ben and Jane in a second, but how are we going to win the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?
If we win Pennsylvania, Trump's the president.
How are we going to do it, Carla?
unidentified
So how do we win throughout our country?
Yeah.
How do we win throughout our country?
Here's how.
And you're not going to like it.
We have to early vote.
We have to vote early by the laws of your state.
Let me give you a quick story.
In 2022, John Fetterman on election day had about a million ballots banked.
On election day, Mehmet Oz had about 250,000.
Pennsylvania has 50 days of early voting.
Democrats used every one of those.
And how do you come to 750,000 votes behind in one 12-hour day when your opposition has had 50 days?
You don't.
750,000 is impossible to overcome.
How can we win?
By voting early.
steve bannon
Voting early?
unidentified
Voting early.
steve bannon
How do we stop?
What about the mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania?
Aren't they always going to steal it as long as they got mail-in ballots up there with no signature verification?
unidentified
So here's the thing.
You can walk it in to your county board election office.
It doesn't go through the machines.
It just goes through a counter and you can check online that your vote has been counted.
You have to trust this integrity that you can vote early.
We have lost every single recent election, including the special about a week ago.
Three specials.
We lost every one because voters voted early, the Democrats, and they won.
Look at New York.
We had a snowstorm on election day.
But the Democrats banked their votes before that on those nine days.
steve bannon
I just got a report that Mike Lindell had to get a flannel sheet and wrap his head around because his head's blown up.
But we'll deal with that.
unidentified
We'll deal with that.
We love Mike Lindell.
steve bannon
We'll deal with that in his segment.
unidentified
But we have to win.
steve bannon
And the point is, we have to use every... Okay, we know about their votes, but what about the non-signature verified mail-in ballots?
They steal Pennsylvania in 2020.
Any doubt about that?
unidentified
You know that.
steve bannon
We want... So how do we stop...
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh particularly just to pick a couple of random spots and maybe a few university towns from just ballot harvesting, fake mail-in ballots.
unidentified
So there's two points.
We need young, fearless, tough.
Conservative attorneys, young men and women, that are going to be soldiers to help us now and on election day.
And we'll have their back.
We have to fund them.
The left spends hundreds of millions of dollars every election cycle to secure the election to help them in their policies and on election day.
We have to do more than go toe-to-toe.
You have to energize and inspire people to vote, not to be disparate.
I want you to stop talking smack about the votes, and I want you to go vote early.
If we overwhelm them with these early votes... You're saying if you bank to vote early?
steve bannon
Okay.
unidentified
Vote early.
If we don't use that, we are going to have... You know what Einstein said the definition of insanity is.
Do the same thing over and over and expect a different result.
We'll look at 2022, 2023, 2024 with those specials just a week ago.
We have to win.
Do you want President Trump to win and secure the border?
Stop the crazy wars around the world?
steve bannon
Bring back peace and prosperity?
unidentified
I think we want Trump to win, right?
steve bannon
Is this a Trump crowd?
I think...
Ambassadors, by the way, this is one of Trump's toughest ambassadors, right?
How do you, uh, where do people go to find you?
Social media?
All of it.
unidentified
Right, so you can follow me on Twitter, I'm Carla H. Sands, but also you can go to AFPI, America First Policy Institute.
You can also go to AmericaFirstWorks.com.
We have a telegram channel there you can sign up for, and we also have weekly trainings by people like Congressman Lee Zeldin, Grant Stitchfield.
Teaching people how do you talk to your friends, family, neighbors to get them to vote early.
Get your vote in.
Do it on the first day.
Let's practice on the primary so we win in the general and we take this country back.
steve bannon
Okay, Omega Steel Magnolia.
Ambassador Sanz, let's give it up for her.
unidentified
Thank you.
God bless you.
steve bannon
And Burquam, what do you got for us?
5,000 miles from Eastern Europe.
Tell me your name, sir.
unidentified
My name is George Mikhail Nemtsov and I came here to salute our visionary, our intellectual inspiration, Steve Bannon.
Thank you very much!
We in Eastern Europe, in Poland, in Croatia, in Hungary, in Romania, we had Ronald Reagan as an inspiration.
Now, we have Donald J. Trump as another inspiration.
steve bannon
Why is he an inspiration?
unidentified
He's an inspiration because he believes in the Western Civilization.
Because he said that we still write symphonies, we strive for excellence, we cherish inspiring works of art, and we honor God.
steve bannon
That's why we love you.
What is Western Civilization?
unidentified
It's Christianity, it's Jerusalem, it's Rome, and it's Athens.
It's science, it's politics, and it's contemplation in Christ.
steve bannon
Boom.
By the way, do we wish they taught that in public schools in this country?
unidentified
Yes.
So, Steve, thank you also for bringing up the great books tradition, the classical tradition, our trust in the Republican system.
steve bannon
Talk about what the great books are.
When you say great books, explain to our audience what they are.
unidentified
It's your passion for Plutarch and the great lives.
It's your passion for Thomas Akempis and the imitation of Christ.
It's your passion for the Bible.
These are the books.
These are the ideas that have consequences.
These are the bedrocks of our civilization.
It's in the books.
It's in our hearts as well.
So thank you for everything that you do.
steve bannon
Get this man's card.
I want to talk to him later.
Fantastic.
What else you got for us, Ben?
Great.
unidentified
All right, sir.
Come here.
steve bannon
Come here.
unidentified
Tell me your name.
steve bannon
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hang on a second.
My name is Reggie Randall Sands.
I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia.
steve bannon
Virginia Beach?
That's God's country.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
I'm here because I'm an avid Trump supporter.
I'm with Fox 5 television, and I want to shake your hand.
steve bannon
Well, thank you, sir.
Honored.
unidentified
By the way, tell us what you're doing.
steve bannon
They tell us that President Trump is a racist, President Trump's a xenophobe, President Trump's a nativist, President Trump's an overall bad guy.
Do you believe any of that?
unidentified
Not at all.
No.
President Trump is different, with a capital D. He's gonna make things happen.
He's gonna set things in motion.
And it's time.
It's a new day, and it is time.
Taylor Swift said, shake it off.
It's a new day, and a new time.
steve bannon
Amen. Thank you, sir.
And Trump's the man.
Make sure we get his information.
Yes, sir.
Hang on one second.
Jane.
unidentified
Calamity Jane.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
and I am here, my court seat back, to join the other force multipliers and take our country back from these...
Hey guys. All right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right.
steve bannon
All right.
We're going to fix it.
Hang on, Jane.
We're going to fix your mic for a second.
Let's go back to Ben Burquam.
unidentified
What's your name?
Where are you from?
Bob McGuffey.
I'm from Blue Captured Connecticut.
I'm running for Congress in Fairfield County against Jim Himes and these entrenched blue Democrats.
steve bannon
Hold on.
Hang on.
Aren't you just wasting your time running in a place like Connecticut?
It's a total waste of time.
unidentified
No way.
steve bannon
Why is it not?
You're a good man, McGuffey.
Why are you not wasting your time?
unidentified
Because it has to be done.
These blue candidates are these entrenched Democrats.
They are vulnerable on their voting record.
They come into the district.
They talk moderate.
They vote with the hard left.
Himes is typical of them, and we can take him on.
You have to beat Hearst Media in Connecticut, but I can do it.
BobMac4Congress.com.
Help me out, and I'll deliver it.
steve bannon
Thank you, sir.
Hang on for a second.
Can we get a shot?
Can we get a shot of the truck?
unidentified
Is that the yellow road to the Texas back there?
That's the Texas!
steve bannon
That's the Texas Syndicate!
unidentified
Texas Syndicate there!
steve bannon
Why are there so many pretty girls in Texas?
This must be the water.
We're gonna get them.
We worked in the next break.
We'll get to them.
You guys hang right.
Can we get that shot?
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Yeah, there we are.
Going out to the world.
Uh-oh.
Dave Brett's in the house.
unidentified
Dave Brett!
steve bannon
We love Dave!
By the way, I want to tell you, I want to tell you, I think, I think the Gaylord Hotel has already told us, if the noise keeps at this length, this sound, we're gonna get the boot.
unidentified
So, Gaylord, suck on this.
steve bannon
Let's hear it!
unidentified
Come on man, it's CPAC in the war room!
steve bannon
They haven't even started drinking yet.
Wait till that happens.
Wait till the afternoon show.
Dave Brat, that was a really great prayer yesterday.
Tell me what your thoughts were about the whole day yesterday.
Did you guys like Force Multiplier?
unidentified
Do you feel like Force Multipliers?
steve bannon
We've got to get a deeper session of the young people telling you about social media, the algorithms, all that.
I thought it was fascinating.
We've got to do more of that.
Vish and Poso, Natalie.
Where's the Queen of the Trolls?
Is Grace Chung around?
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
Where's Grace?
Grace Chung's around?
Okay, she made the opening bell.
Dave Brat.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
steve bannon
How you doing?
Thanks for the prayer.
dave brat
No, you're welcome.
unidentified
No, it's, uh... Your interviews... First off, first off, in Brat, does Brat look like a movie star?
steve bannon
Doesn't he?
Or a TV star?
Maybe not TV.
unidentified
I was a fan of his when I was in high school.
steve bannon
You travel around the country and I get that great tan.
You got the whole look.
You're a tennis pro, right?
dave brat
No, but I am coming out with a new Brat Pit shampoo series.
I'm going to push it on your show.
steve bannon
I get President Trump's cologne and I get your shampoo.
dave brat
No, I don't have a shampoo.
I'm just kidding.
No, it's great.
unidentified
Yeah, we want everybody to know he does not have a shampoo line he's pitching.
dave brat
No, the world out there is dark right now when we hear the news, but I come in here and I see these faces and I get to say hey to everybody.
This is America, right?
This is the faith in America.
Tucker just had that interview with Michael Benz.
That, if you haven't watched yet, share that.
And then the next day, the Oxford Don interviews Benz.
That is some dark stuff.
That is some really dark stuff that just feels overwhelming.
But Benz himself says, and Steve has been saying, there is a window right now.
The left got out over their skis.
They tried to fake out America on this thing called democracy.
They're trying to define democracy as ownership of all the institutions that they own on the left.
I think the war room posse has a different version, a different view of what democracy is.
Can I hear you all say, we the people are democracy.
We the people are democracy.
Wow.
Any other route than going through you, the American people, is a fraud.
steve bannon
Let's hear it one more time.
We the people are democracy.
Of course, we're a constitutional republic.
Short commercial break.
We're going to be back in the war room.
unidentified
Good.
steve bannon
Just a second.
unidentified
Good. Good. Good.
He's your host, Stephen K. Babb. The CPAC.
steve bannon
The CPAC 2024!
Matt Schlapp just came over here to officially give us permission to get louder.
unidentified
Yes, please!
steve bannon
Is that good?
Are you having fun at CPAC already?
This is the only thing.
Matt and Mercedes, join us.
Matt, you just kicked off CPAC.
Tell this audience and the vast TV audience out there and radio audience, what about CPAC this year?
It's where globalism goes to die.
Tell us what we can expect over the next three days.
matt schlapp
Well, I like how we started.
Do any of you like Byron Donalds?
steve bannon
All right!
matt schlapp
97% ACU score in Congress, the kind of guy who wants to fight, who's out there fighting for Donald Trump.
He's speaking right now.
And we're going to hear, Steve, you gave us this advice.
You said, hey, let's run The Apprentice for VP.
Let's hear from everybody everyone's talking about.
So over the course of the next couple of days, you're going to get that.
steve bannon
Real America's Voice is sponsoring the vice president's poll.
Don't you guys want to have a vote about who tells President Trump what your recommendation is for VP?
unidentified
Here's the deal.
Is Steve Bannon going to be on the poll?
That's what we should ask ourselves.
steve bannon
Is someone going to vote for Steve Bannon?
unidentified
That's what I want to know.
steve bannon
I think Natalie will.
unidentified
I think so.
steve bannon
I got the best job in America, just cutting on the mic and letting the War Room Posse talk.
Mercedes, tell us what to expect.
We've got President Trump on Saturday, but you have international, you're covering every different vertical we're interested in.
What should people, how can they get the best CPAC?
Is it about networking?
Because you've got so much, you've got things going on the main stage, you've got breakout rooms, you've got lunches, dinners.
Tell us, this audience wants to know how they maximize their CPAC experience.
unidentified
Well, if you're single, you'll probably find, like, your future spouse here, so start looking for that.
Make sure they meet the credentials, the conservative credentials.
steve bannon
Natalie, get your number two pencil out.
Number two pencil.
unidentified
No, the best CPAC experience is...
Just take it all in.
Get energized because you got to go back to your communities and spread the word.
Not of just conservatism.
It's not just that.
It's about freedom.
It's about Fighting for what we love this great country.
It's about protecting our families So if there's a topic or a theme you really want to hear it's all there on the CPAC stage I do want to add we launched it yesterday Steve Bannon was their critical part of our CPAC international summit we had over 20 countries represented And they are sharing the same battles we are.
And it's our moment now that you have to understand.
It is why these Latin American leaders are speaking.
We have President Bukele, if you haven't heard him before, from El Salvador.
Guess what he's done?
Cracked out on MS-13 in El Salvador.
Telling the Americans here, the Salvadorians, come back to my country.
I want to make this country great again.
And then we have President Javier Mele who will talk about, take a chainsaw and try to destroy, you know, take down these useless institutions and call out communism for what it is.
Very strong messengers coming over here to send a warning signal to Americans.
I've got a question for you guys.
I know the theme of CPAC this year is where globalism goes to die.
Godspeed on that.
But I'm just curious.
Obviously, we're in DC.
I'm sure none of us really want to be here, but we'll make the exception.
Well, we're in Maryland.
Not great, but... We'll make the exception for CPAC.
But obviously there's ongoing negotiations about continued aid to Ukraine.
natalie winters
How do you think this event, the activists, the Warren posse, the grassroots crew, is going to use this event to really make sure our congressional Republicans hold the line and don't give more of our hard-earned taxpayer dollars to Ukraine?
unidentified
I think that's a very important message.
We've already spent over $113 billion in Ukraine, and at this point you've got to ask yourself, who's talking about a peace deal?
I don't think anyone is.
steve bannon
Only Trump.
unidentified
Only Trump.
And that's a problem, so we have to keep putting pressure on them.
We have to protect our borders, first and foremost.
And stop throwing away money without accountability, without an exit strategy in Ukraine.
steve bannon
Okay, CPAC took action yesterday.
I don't know if everybody got a chance to see the summit, but you passed three resolutions.
matt schlapp
That's right.
steve bannon
My phone was blown up this morning about the resolution, but particularly the one on WHO.
Tell us what...
What were the resolutions?
matt schlapp
What drove you guys to take this action?
You were there, Steve.
20 countries.
We have CPACs in six or seven countries now.
There's a lot of countries who came to this CPAC wanting to get going in their country, too.
And it just hit me as my head was hitting the pillow last night or the night before.
We ought to do something and send a message to the world.
So the first thing we did It's all these people in the media who are saying Republicans are cozy with Vladimir Putin and we're colluding with Vladimir Putin and all the conspiracy theories.
Joe Biden is using Vladimir Putin's tactics and other dictators' tactics to put his opponent in jail.
So CPAC called out Joe Biden for election interference and calling it a crime.
steve bannon
All right.
matt schlapp
On WHO, I got to give our Vice Chairman Bill Walton credit.
He did the deep dive on the WHO.
Do you know we're really weeks, months away from basically surrendering our national sovereignty?
May 24, thank you, ma'am, to the WHO.
We are calling on all freedom-loving people to begin a grassroots campaign in their country to defund and get out of the WHO.
steve bannon
All right.
Do you guys support that?
unidentified
Does the WHO suck?
matt schlapp
Better said, that would have been a lot faster resolution.
Then the third thing we did, which we are proud of, as Mercy says, is we have a neighbor, literally a neighbor down the street, who has a Ukraine flag and a pro-Hamas Yard sign.
These people are sick.
They want Israel to wave a white flag and immediately move to make peace with the terrorists trying to destroy them, yet they want us to fuel a war in Europe and take the lead.
CPAC stands with Israel and all 20 countries stood with us.
steve bannon
Amen.
Guys, last thing.
President Trump's speech on Saturday.
How many CPACs has he made in a row or total?
And he was rejuvenated coming to CPAC Orlando in the first 90 days he went down to Mar-a-Lago after they stole the election.
CPAC Orlando is what really springboarded him to get back into this race, become the presumptive nominee.
matt schlapp
CPAC and Ronald Reagan are just linked at the hip.
And here you got Donald Trump, the outsider.
He beats the Reagan record this year.
This is his 14th appearance at a national CPAC, and it's very important that he leave this CPAC, hearing from all of you that we've got his back, and we're going to help him take our country back.
steve bannon
Can we give it up for Mercedes and Matt Schlapp?
Do you love being a CPAC 2024?
Guys, thank you so much.
Mercedes, Matt.
matt schlapp
Thank you, Steve.
steve bannon
Jane Zirkle, take it away.
Let's hear from the posse.
unidentified
Can you please tell me your name and what brings you to CPAC?
My name is Pam Kontouris and I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Allegheny County to be specific, so that's why I'm here.
We love Carla Sands.
I've been a proud Posse member since... I was a little late, so it was on the impeachment, right?
So we have an integrity group called Team Red, and what we do is we try to have election integrity.
We backed John Fredericks to be one of our delegate members, and we started a new Team Red Next Generation for the young people from 18 to 35, and it's playing whack-a-mole on a daily basis to try to protect I love it.
Action, action, action.

What brings you here to CPAC?
Hi, I'm Ken Lubeck.
I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia, and I'm an election data analyst, and we started a 501c3 so we could purchase the seventh most expensive data set of any state in the country.
That's Virginia.
And we found a lot of stuff.
steve bannon
What did you find?
unidentified
We found duplicates.
We did a calculation.
Six million characters times six million characters.
That's how many registered voters there are in Virginia.
And we found over 10,000 duplicates with different registration numbers where both of them voted.
That's one example.
That's only one.

I came here to network and be amongst like-minded individuals, but mainly to contradict the Biden regime and the mainstream media narrative that Trump can't and won't get the black vote.
He can and will get the black vote.
What do you think about what's going on in Fulton County?
I think it's atrocious what's going on in Fulton County.

Every day.
steve bannon
No, no, no.
unidentified
Yeah.
dave brat
I'll just give a little theology take for one minute.
I get a lot of people who say, young kids, I don't want to go into politics because it's dirty and it's messy and whatever and Jesus didn't do that.
My response to that is, was Jesus in the Old Testament at the Exodus as well?
Him getting rid of Pharaoh?
Yes, was he with the kings and the prophets and the judges and Samson and all of them?
Was God providentially at work in our Revolutionary War?
Yes or no?
Let me hear you.
unidentified
Yes!
dave brat
Was God providentially at work in our Civil War?
steve bannon
Yes!
dave brat
Was God providentially at work against Hitler and that evil regime?
unidentified
Yes!
dave brat
Is God still with Israel?
steve bannon
Yes!
dave brat
Yes!
God still with the United States of America? Yes. All right, if he is, it's your duty, that's a big tall order. If you're saying yes to that, you got some work to do. Get every young person you know on board. I think I saw a terrible stat the other day, one in five kids are going to church.
Wow. We need to get that number up. You get out of bed on Sunday morning, if you don't feel like it, tough luck. Short commercial break. We'll be back in one minute.

Printing more money isn't so funny Can't have a border with disorder Ain't gonna fight no endless war War is a war The Canada Band Welcome to the show The Canada Band In the War Room Studio The Canada Band Everybody knows Action now Action Action
Jason Miller is the killer Cash Medell will kill He told us we gotta cut the song off We gotta cut the sound down.
steve bannon
Hold it.
Phil is one of the great Trump supporters.
I gotta thank you, Phil.
I've never had a love song written for me.
unidentified
I did write a love song for Steve Bannon.
I was so inspired by The War Room.
steve bannon
You're a four-hour, he's a four-hour-a-day junkie.
unidentified
Yes, I write, don't Boris, get to the chorus, rock and roll.
And when I got inspired by this show, four hours a day, I just had to write this song, which I think could actually be an appropriate theme song for the War Room.
Anybody who watches the War Room on a regular basis, it's like getting a PhD in statecraft.
Don't you agree?
It's amazing.
steve bannon
What do you like about the show?
unidentified
What I like is I hear things that are not in the echo chamber.
I hear things that actually make us smarter so we can go out there.
And I'll give you an example.
When you talk about the Speaker of the House, you said, I'll never forget this.
You said, you know, we like that he's a Christian, but we don't need a Bible study.
What we need is somebody who's going to be a warrior like in the Old Testament and the New Testament.
And that's something like that.
You go out and you talk to somebody at a party or a dinner, and they've never heard anything like that before.
And it's novel.
steve bannon
Phil is one of the, he's a top real estate investor and the family, Phil and the family are very close to President Trump.
Talk to me about what do you expect on President Trump on Saturday?
What are you looking for?
You're one of his biggest supporters.
What are you looking for in this speech?
unidentified
I'm looking for him to be the statesman that I know that he is.
I'm looking for... Actually, I'm looking for us to charge him up.
Because you know what?
After all, he's a mere mortal like the rest of us.
steve bannon
Can you guys charge him up on Saturday?
Is Phil right about that?
unidentified
I mean, he is a human being.
But, you know, when I see him in Palm Beach at Mar-a-Lago and he's at dinner, He, after the 350 million dollar judgment, he had, he was smiling, he had his friends around, he was walking around, saying hello to his friends and the members.
I mean, it's like nothing had ever happened.
It's amazing.
steve bannon
It's impervious to it.
Can we give it up for Phil?
Can we give it up for the song?
unidentified
Thank you.
The Canon of Bannon on YouTube.

Let's give it up for Phil.
unidentified
Thank you to the War Room.
steve bannon
Dave Brat, get us home here.
Talk to us about what we should be focused on at CPAC with this amazing crowd of warriors.
You're one of the biggest, people are criticizing you saying you're a proponent of Christian nationalism.
Talk to me about it.
dave brat
No, God's sovereign over the whole creation.
God loves this country.
God loves Israel.
God's put a special hand on this country.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Don't be ashamed of that.
Be proud of it.
Get up.
Teach your kids that.
There's three issues.
Our side... I'm gonna teach you something here.
I don't think you know.
I was in Congress.
The reason the Republicans are not effective is because 200 Republicans are allowed to run 200 individual races for Congress.
The Democrats unify.
Newt Gingrich used to have a contract.
It was a contract.
It wasn't like, maybe we'll get around to it.
We just need three things.
We need the Speaker to cut the Ukraine and the everlasting wars, the debt, and the border invasion.
If Mike Johnson runs on those three and forces his members to run on those three, and you support him, what you're doing What Steve says every day is you're the heroes here, right?
You are the full faith and credit of the United States of America.
And if you put heat on your senators and congressmen and women to do the right thing, this country will be saved.
And it's all thanks to God first, and then you, the people, and then we're happy to play our little part, but he plays the bigger part.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
steve bannon
Let's give it up for Dave Brat.
dave brat
Thank you, guys.
unidentified
We love Dave.

And I say from Steve and the War Room, because that's where the news is.
steve bannon
I'm Demetrius.
unidentified
I'm a physician in Richmond.
But I want to say something serious.
I tried to say to Steve yesterday at the Academy.
What did you think of the Academy?
It was wonderful.
It was wonderful.
And I know I'm speaking seriously now and I'm funny.
We need to organize this group of people and the group of people that's watching us.
And we need to do exactly what Naomi Wolf did with the Pfizer documents.
We need to break up into groups.
and have tasks, and have some action.
Because I think we all want to do something, but we're not quite sure what to do.
steve bannon
If we can organize, it would be wonderful.
Do you hear that?
We've got to organize amongst ourselves.
Come with the Academy.
Hang on for one second.
Thank you so much, brother.
We're going to talk to you later.
Ben, you've got 30 seconds.
Hit me.
Talk about attacks on We the People.
Tell me your story.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm a homeschool mom getting sued by Biden's White House officials for flying Trump flags next to the Biden bus in 2020 with that viral video we all saw on the news.
They are claiming that we gave them emotional damage and they want financial compensation.
steve bannon
Are you the ones that ran them off the road?
unidentified
That is what they said and we have, from staying in litigation, we have footage from inside the bus that proves that they were trying to run people off the road.
They are lying to us and it is something, they're infringing on free speech rights at the federal level.
We have to fight back.
steve bannon
Let's get a card.
We're going to get you on the show and actually talk about that.
unidentified
Thank you so much!
Yes!
