This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on these people.
President Trump 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'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 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.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.
steve bannon
It's Thursday, 29th of February.
It's Leap Year, Leap Day.
29th February in the year of our Lord, 2024.
We're going to continue our coverage of... We're having a little problem getting the press conference in New York.
Remember, this stretches from the Colombian-Panamanian border today.
We have Ben Burquam and Oscar Blue Ramirez on the other side of the Darien Gap.
We're also in Eagle Pass, Texas with Jane Zirkle.
Awaiting President Trump's press conference visit today.
Biden is down in Brownsville.
He went to the least part of the Rio Grande Valley that has the least problem.
So they're just going to have some trash down there and, you know, no surge.
There's a press conference in Midtown Manhattan right now about taking on Eric Adams.
Eric Adams trying to weasel out of, oh, I made it a sanctuary city, but I'm going to unmake it a sanctuary city.
The collapse of these cities all over, whether it's in Athens, Georgia, and last night the mayor got completely lit up by his constituencies when he's trying to worm out of the danger of being a sanctuary city.
As I went through the polling a minute ago, it is just absolutely extraordinary of what this polling is with President Trump in the battleground states.
Absolutely, absolutely incredible of what this is.
The polling, I want to repeat this, This is a Bloomberg News morning consult just released.
I want to go back through this again because you understand the reason these numbers are so big is because of the central issues facing our country of which the invasion of this nation is number one in every poll.
You saw Gallup yesterday, from the month of January, they asked everybody to list their number one concern.
It was 20% in January.
Inflation, I think, was at 12.
That gap is huge.
Massive.
When they did it in February, it's 28%.
That increase is enormous.
Inflation and the economy stayed the same as big issues, don't get me wrong.
It is the invasion of our country.
Now, look at how it manifests itself in the polling.
I'm going to go back through.
This is Morning Consult Bloomberg, a very strong polling organization, but not one on the right.
Not the People's Pundit, not Barris, not Trafalgar, not Trump's internal guys.
I want to go through these.
Pennsylvania, Trump 49, Biden 43, Trump up 6 in Pennsylvania.
Nevada, Trump 48, Biden 42, plus 6 in Nevada.
Wisconsin, Trump 46, Biden 42, up 4 in Wisconsin.
Michigan, Trump 46, Biden 44, plus 2 in Michigan.
Biden 42, up four in Wisconsin.
Michigan, Trump 46, Biden 44, plus two in Michigan.
North Carolina, Trump 50, Biden 41, up nine.
Arizona, Trump 49, Biden 43, plus six.
And Georgia is also Trump 49, 43, plus six.
Those of you who are into pattern recognition understand that Biden's in the low 40s.
And Trump is just under 50.
I Having been around Trump a couple of three years, from 16 to 20, and now beyond, we have never had polls like that.
Ever.
You've never had outside, center-left, renowned polling organizations that had these numbers.
Now, why are we there?
Because people understand this illegitimate regime is destroying the country, its finances, It's economy, the lived experience of its citizens.
It has is in the beginning of a kinetic war around the rim of the Eurasian landmass.
From the Straits of Taiwan, the South China Sea to the Red Sea, Gaza.
The Suez Canal, and up in Ukraine.
And, most importantly, they have, as we've showed you in the first hour of this show, an organized effort to plan, execute, aid, and abet an invasion of our country.
This is not random, and it's not chaos from them.
And it's Ben Burquam and Oscar Blue Ramirez, and today they have the huge conference that The Guardian's talking about.
That migration is only going to get worse because of because of climate change, the cult of climate change.
And oh, by the way, since we're since Obama signed it, we got out of it in the Trump administration in the first days.
But the global compact on migration is what links us all in.
And of course, you have the three legged stool of the cartels involved with CCP and others, people that hate our country.
The government itself, Homeland Security, My York is the whole crowd, State Department, and of course the NGOs.
Now this is, and how is this tied back to this fiasco on Capitol Hill that we're talking about?
We have all the power and all the leverage to end this now.
All the power.
The framers of our country, the founders of our country, put it in like the house was close to the house of commons, the closest to the people.
All spending must come through them.
All spending, not some of the spending, not a little of the spending.
All of the spending must come through them and must be approved by them.
Johnson, it's very clear, it's simple.
You know, it's very simple.
In the fog of war, you have to have total clarity.
This mumbo-jumbo, I'm gonna shift it another week, it's gonna be another two weeks here, we got a minibus and a maxibus, I got these bundled, we're gonna do this, ba-bing, ba-bing, ba-bung, ba-bung, ba-bung.
B.S., dude, you're a gutless coward.
It's very simple.
Force him to the table.
Use your leverage.
The answer is no.
No more CR.
No more money.
Nothing.
At midnight tomorrow night, it runs out.
And then on Saturday morning, you're over at the White House.
We'll cover it live here on our Saturday show.
You walk into the White House with your little, you know, your little pad of paper and your pen.
Looks like you're going to school.
You know, your parents are sending you off to kindergarten.
Note to self, that's not the way to show up at a meeting with Chuck Schumer.
Hakeem Jeffries, Mitch McConnell and Biden, those people are sharks.
You shouldn't walk in there.
You don't need a pen and a pad because there's nothing to write down.
You should have been dictating the terms, not taking notes.
Don't need a note taker.
And you tell them point blank, hey, here's the deal.
Nothing.
You get nothing.
Until we get in a room and you get the executive actions that you have and you admit you have, To shut this border down.
Now the government's shut down.
If it stays shut down, it stays shut down.
The nation has your back.
Not only is it the right thing to do, but the American people are awakened to it.
Not just War Room.
We've been down there for four frickin' years.
Three and a half years.
Oscar Blue Ramirez, Ben Berquam, Michael Yan, Todd Bensman, Jane Zirkle, the whole team down there.
Time and time and time again to awaken MAGA that then awakened the Republican Party.
And with our leader, President Trump, now the nation knows it.
And why the nation knows it?
The lived experience.
Because nurses murdered in Athens, Georgia.
Liberal Athens, Georgia.
Progressive Athens, Georgia.
Did I not tell you?
In the way they run elections, they have two concentrated areas.
They have the university towns and they have the urban areas.
Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Madison, Wisconsin.
Charlottesville, Virginia.
Austin, Texas.
Oh, yes, Athens, Georgia.
Even in red states.
In fact, particularly in red states.
And the mayor of Athens, Georgia, last night, got completely lit up, completely lit up, when he lied to his people.
Oh, the sanctuary city, I check in with the state of Georgia every time, they're sitting there going, you're a liar, you're a liar, you have that girl's blood on your hands.
Same thing's happening in New York City right now, this press conference.
Eric Adams, they're all trying to weasel out of it.
Oh, the sanctuary cities, it didn't mean that.
We didn't even like criminals.
We never did that.
Did we do that?
Yes, you did that.
You are guilty of that.
It is now time for Johnson.
Don't give me the biblical worldview.
Go Old Testament on us.
That's what we want.
You don't need the biblical worldview.
You need to be like an Old Testament prophet.
Shut it down.
Show up on Saturday morning at 8 o'clock.
You know, rouse Biden out of the bed and say, dude, here's what you're going to do.
I need five major executive actions starting with remain in Mexico.
The First Nations Clause.
The thing where people can't come and be a burden on the country.
You gotta have a sponsor that has economic resources to pay for it.
unidentified
Boom, boom, boom.
steve bannon
We'll give you the five.
Walk it over there.
In fact, you can take your pad of paper, just take one sheet, write it down, give it to them.
Say, this is it.
You do these things and we'll go ahead and open up the government.
You don't do that and it gets shut down.
End of drill.
No other discussion.
It's either, you either believe it, and don't give me this mumbo jumbo, we're gonna do this mini bus, maxi bus, we're gonna do this, that's all crap!
Call your people now, 202-225-3121, and tell them, hey, brutally frank, you support this, and you're not gonna be running high from us.
We're tired of it.
We're tired of you hanging there.
You heard what Chip Royce said.
They're still talking about Ukraine.
If the money for Ukraine is absolutely essential to Western democracy, then let the guys in the ski chalets in Switzerland, in Tuscany, in the south of France, in Belgravia, in the west end of England, in Berlin, in Paris, go to the Norwegians.
Get to their sovereign wealth fund.
They've got a trillion and a half dollars.
The $60 billion comes from them.
It's not your burden.
It's not your fight.
It's their fight.
And it's time they stood up for themselves.
Because you have a country to protect.
Let's go to Jane Zirkle down in Eagle Pass, Texas.
Jane, get us ready.
The President's going to be there later.
What do you got for us?
unidentified
Yeah, so I'm on location in Shelby Park, which has been the epicenter of the razor-wire debate between the Biden administration and the state of Texas.
Of course, a few miles away, down in Brownsville, Joe Biden will be speaking today.
And the Hillsdale County GOP has issued a statement basically condemning Joe Biden for his lack of border security.
And there will also be a rally to demonstrate against Joe Biden.
Over there.
We're expected to hear from President Trump at around 2.45 today.
As you can see, the razor wire is behind me.
The river is behind me.
The Texas border is crossed by nearly 15,000 illegal migrants a day at this point.
This country is in dire need of border security, and it's time that the Democrats address migrant crime.
Of course, Trump's visit to the border comes on his statement about Lake and Riley and the brutal murder that she endured at the hands of an illegal migrant who should not have been in this country in the first place.
Joe Biden will not even say her name.
He made remarks about crime just yesterday.
Wouldn't bring it up because it doesn't fit into their narrative.
steve bannon
Jane, they have cleaned up.
I mean, we've had people down at Eagle Pass, particularly this standoff between the Texas state officials, Governor Abbott and in the Biden regime.
But what you're saying in front of me looks pretty cleaned up.
We know that Biden has a deal with Mexico right now.
This is not the normal the normal.
It's not the normal flow, correct?
It's been cleaned up.
So they make sure President Trump can't get down there and start railing on him.
unidentified
Yes, things are definitely looking rather orderly.
We're sort of in a walled off pen for media, but as you can see just behind me, you have walls of razor wire.
You see some National Guard over there.
The razor wire across the river is laid out pretty much Fully intact.
And this has been an ongoing battle where we've seen, of course, scenes just from a month ago where Border Patrol were, you know, being shilled with rocks from incoming migrants.
The migrant flow has been so overwhelming that they had to use shields to shield themselves from these people coming across the river.
So this is absolutely out of control.
It's an epidemic that our country is facing, and every state is a border state.
This can be seen across the country.
Of course, in Maryland, where you heard that awful story of the two-year-old boy that was murdered by an illegal immigrant, Maryland has become an epicenter of MS-13 gang violence.
steve bannon
Jane, hang on.
We're going to come back to you before the show ends today.
I want to thank Brian Glenn and the team down at Right Side Broadcasting helping us out.
President's going to speak this afternoon.
Jane's going to be back with us at 5.
Ben and Oscar Blue Ramirez may have to get on a plane.
They're going around the Darien Gap today.
We'll try to get back to them.
Paul Danz is going to join us next in studio.
I'm going to pivot here for a moment.
We'll come back to the border situation before we wrap up the show.
You think it's turbulent?
You ain't seen anything yet.
This conference they're having, I have it up on Getter about the conference that the Guardian's talking about.
They're laying the predicate because they're saying, hey, it's climate change is really causing this and you really haven't seen the beginning of it.
It's really going to be wave after wave after wave after wave.
Since we're now agreed to, because of the Biden regime, the global compact on migration, that makes us right in the middle of it.
So, the turbulence is only going to get crazier.
That's why you need to go to birchgold.com slash Bannon today.
Talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
Find out why gold has been a hedge against times of turbulence for man for 5,000 years of recorded history.

Paul Danz in the War Room next.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Daily Mail has got excerpts, I think, from the President's talk today, and it's President Trump saying that he alone can fix this vis-a-vis Biden.
I think he's absolutely 100% correct.
This thing's got to be a fiasco.
When I read those... Look, let me say this.
Morning Consult does not lean towards MAGA when it polls.
That's why it's Bloomberg's pollsters, right?
And Bloomberg, remember, is about the terminal.
Bloomberg's own personal politics Does not come in on the Bloomberg opinion page, on the Bloomberg News, yes.
But when they're talking about math and numbers, they're talking about money.
Remember, Bloomberg made his money in the bond market.
So when he signs up a pollster, it's a pollster that's going to give it to him as straight as possible.
Those numbers are blowout numbers.
You're talking about a 350 electoral college win.
You're talking about a mandate.
This is what they told me the other night.
Oh, you can't get a mandate, can't win the popular vote.
Hey, that's a spread.
And there's nothing Biden can do that's going to close it.
He can go down to the board.
He can go to Brownsville, Texas, as much as he wants.
Paul Dance.
Real quickly, too, just about the law fair.
We started with a seven minute cold open from Rachel Maddow and her team and Chris Hayes.
I mean, MSNBC, I have never seen an emotional meltdown.
Like, I mean, they literally threw the toys out of the pram last night.
They went nuts.
And it was quite evident.
In their emotion.
And they even admitted their hair was on fire.
I think Chris Hayes said it.
That they had depended upon lawfare so much to stop Trump.
You're one of the top lawyers in the country.
You see Fannie Willis, all this is kind of collapsing around them, right?
Their ability to use the law to try to stop the country from having a choice between the Biden regime and President Trump's MAGA movement.
paul dans
Sure you know they're taking this all the kitchen sink approach and and when you sometimes do that you don't do any of the things very effectively.
You know it's reaffirming in a sense we are a country that the rule of law is paramount and it's reaffirming as someone who's given his professional life over to being an attorney to see that you know when you do have truth and justice on your way it will prevail.
Now these cases are still stacked wrongly against the president and I think they're doing a great amount of damage to You know the public confidence in our institutions. We have seen utter lawlessness by many of these courts and prosecutors but you know, I do believe at the end of the day we're gonna prevail in all of them and You know, that's that's kind of what happens when you when you're desperate and they're going well Let's talk about desperation because I'm noticing a hysterical
steve bannon
hysterical reaction to what is just citizens thinking through What should be the direction of the country?
In particular where their tax money goes and what policy should be etc When you talk about project 2025.
Now the reason you're uniquely.
Perfect to talk about this is that intellectually we talk about this construct of the administrative state and this kind of fourth branch of government that's Come about over the last 50 60 70 years.
Let's say from World War two Might argue the it was the antecedent was maybe this beginning in the Civil War but You went at this legally because there's two angles of attack on this.
One is the courts and you see the Supreme Court is now taking a lot of interest in that.
You were involved in that part of it for a long time of how legally you actually go using the court system to present your case and to start to deconstruct the administrative state through all these regulatory laws that they've kind of self-imposed.
The other is actually how do you get people in there into the bureaucracy.
When you win with your three thousand Appointees that you can make immediately plus the 1,000 you have to have Senate confirmed New York Times has got another piece out today They are about to go just like the emotional reaction to we saw last night from law firm from Andrew Weissman and all of them Right you're about you're seeing this now in the wall in the Wall Street Journal in the in the New York Times in the Washington Post It's no longer even a rational argument.
They are hysterical about the fact that on our side we actually have top professionals that are looking at this, like Kevin Roberts, you guys have one, obviously Rushford, but professionals are looking at what are really the policies we want to implement upon a victory.
paul dans
Sure, you know, it's they say Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but a 4,500 word fan letter in the New York Times comes pretty close.
unidentified
Let's get, Denver, if you get it up, why don't you say, it is fan mail.
steve bannon
It's pretty extraordinary.
paul dans
I think the author is struggling.
He's gone through a struggle session because he read the book and he's kind of brought it over to our view of the world, which is the common sense one.
No one can, in their right mind, can say this is working.
The federal government is broken.
And like many institutions, this is ripe for reform.
This is essentially what we're doing.
Let me frame this properly.
This is a great era of reform that we're about to undertake.
And we are drawing the curtain to a close on the progressive era.
You dated it 50 to 60 years, I think.
We use a demarcation of maybe 1916.
steve bannon
You're saying Woodrow Wilson and the progressives that came in.
paul dans
The federal government has been built for the last 100 years in a mechanism that is really just to propel a different worldview.
And the problem with that is that it's complete derogation of our Constitution, which is ultimately the grand architecture of this great experiment of self-governance that we know as our United States.
You know, we're on our 250th birthday coming up in two years, and what we're proposing really is to do a major historical renovation to bring this government back to the way the genius of the founding fathers, the separation of powers, the ability that every power is enumerated, otherwise it's reserved to the people and the states, and that we need decentralization.
And people need to be part of this government.
When Abe Lincoln, you know, spoke at Gettysburg, it was to preserve this government of the people.
Well, right now we have a permanent government in Washington, and it's immutable, and it's irresistible to change, and that is anti-democratic.
You know, the assaults on our project and the like, and President Trump talked about dictator.
The thing couldn't be further from the truth.
It's quite the opposite.
And if you think of the reform era, you know, the civil service was brought on with Tammany Hall and these excesses, the spoils system.
We live through the same excess.
With COVID, with the Russia hoax, with everything else, we have now seen the pendulum swing entirely to the other way.
Government, when the civil service was created, with the Pendleton Act in 1883, was supposed to consecrate 10% of these jobs to civil service protections.
Now fully 99.5% of them are Yeah.
you know, reserved to careers, meaning that a president who comes aboard with a popular mandate from the people can neither hire nor essentially fire people.
The government, and you can read this again in our book, I understand the author probably read it, but chapter three, this is the mandate for leadership.
steve bannon
And by the way, the editorial writer, the editorial writer for the New York Times actually, and I give him a hat tip because he, in the fanboy letter, people, more people are going to order this now because it was so interesting the way he broke it down.
paul dans
Yeah, no, he did a summary, granted it was one that was stilted.
But, you know, this is available online, project2025.org.
The PDF is for free.
We work in the light here, you know.
We're taking a cue from the man upstairs.
There's no darkness here.
We don't do 4D chess and try to be too clever by half.
The bottom line is we have the truth on our side.
The system is broken.
It's not serving the people.
And not only does it need to be reformed and made more efficient, It needs to be accountable.
And that's the entirety of the whole thing.
steve bannon
I want to make sure people, we pull back the camera for a second, give them the construct here.
When I gave that speech or talk at CPAC a couple of years ago, they asked me, what's President Trump going to do?
This is the first 30 days of administration.
I said, number one, a new national security, America first national security.
Number two will be economic nationalism, bringing the jobs back, tariffs, protections and all that.
Number three will be deconstructing the administrative state.
And the media is going, what is Bannon talking about?
What's the administrative state?
Of course, all the CPAC folks and bib overalls were standing ovation.
They knew.
I just want to make sure the audience understands something.
This is not talking about getting rid of two regulations for every one we add.
This is not about bureaucrats.
Something metastasized here that was very different than the framers ever had in mind.
It's a fourth branch of government that has its own rulemaking, its own legal side, its own enforcement side, its own set of courts.
It is totally impervious Even congressional control now.
It's a living, breathing thing that has its own ideas of how things should be run.
And that's what we're going to the heart of, is that that has to be deconstructed.
We cannot continue as a government because it is not just not responsive to the American people, it is metastasized to be its own kind of imperial power that runs the city.
paul dans
Yeah, now it's directed against American people, particularly conservatives.
But that's exactly right.
What's happened is the three powers that the president, you know, the founders separated and the executive power, the judicial and the legislative function have been ebbed away into this fourth branch.
With the legislature, it's called undue delegation, that they basically shuffled off their work because they don't want to do the political heavy lifting.
But with the executive branch, it's that executory function of the law.
It's executing the law.
And that, to be sure, you know, Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2, vests the executive power in a president, period.
That's what the founders, not a committee of presidents, not a so-called independent agency.
All this is in a president.
So everything that we have today that's grown up, you know, from FDR and Woodrow Wilson through the Great Society through, you know, even Obama years and it's a derogation from that and it really, you know, when we talk about government shutdown, the government never really shuts down.
It slows down and we're doing what the government is supposed to be, you know, necessity.
Well then the question becomes, why are you doing all these other things?
And we should really take this moment in history to re-examine why is our federal government in all these other spheres of life.
steve bannon
Can you hang for a few minutes in the next, I think Paul Danz joins us from over at Heritage's Project 2025.
They are the stars of a major op-ed in today's New York Times, the paper of record of our beloved Republic.

Short commercial break.
Back in the warm at this moment.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
You know, the convergence of cyber... I couldn't fit in Joe because we've got Paul in studio today.
Paul Danz.
Joe Allen.
I'm going to try to get him on the 5 or the 6 o'clock.
5, I'm being told.
6, I'm being told.
6, I'm being told.
We're also going to be at 6 o'clock.
We're going to go to England at the Foundry for the World War I memorial.
They're actually starting to cast that over there.
We're going to go there, talk to the artists, talk to the people working on it.
That's going to be done by April, I think.
Of course, September is going to be when they put it up in Washington, D.C.
Something we've been covering closely.
One of the aspects that Joe Allen's been all over is this combination, convergence of cyber and artificial intelligence.
Now the Pentagon's actually admitting that they're picking targets now with artificial intelligence.
That just broke yesterday.
Quite dangerous when you go down that path.
This is why on home tidal lock, If you didn't think you had a problem before, you need to check.
The combination of cyber and artificial intelligence makes that title of yours just a target.
Remember, there's six trillion dollars of equity in homes throughout America.
And right now, with interest rates where they are, not a lot of people are taking out seconds.
Well, they're going to go and take a hard money second out on yours that you've got to pay back.
Go to HomeTitleLock.com today.
Immerse yourself in information.
Fantastic.
The other aspect of the administrative state, and you had something to do this in your career as a lawyer, but this concept of when they talk about the Chevron deference, and we have all these cases, West Virginia, everybody, and now the media and our audiences all over this concept of the Chevron deference, really why maybe you could argue Justice Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, people who had already been legal intellectuals in handling these cases or talking about these cases,
When they say Chevron deference, that was deference to the administrative state.
That the administrative state would really be the decider on many of these, would be the deciding element or the decision-making unit when it came to that corporate America that the justices would defer to what the experts said, correct?
And that's what even helped metastasize the administrative state.
paul dans
Yeah, it built this entire Washington ecosystem that essentially gets back again to that
steve bannon
Undue delegation by the legislature in particular of their what they should be putting into law and and much more detail obviously laws can't cover every Contingency and you're saying with the laws passed in some general language Then the then the apparatus the administration gets it and then they do the federal register the federal they actually write out the rules underneath it and those rules essentially become Much more powerful than what the overall law was, or the decisions and the details.
paul dans
And the people who work in the administrative state interpret the laws and their interpretation carries the day in a court case as a matter.
It's very difficult to challenge how they view the law.
So everything from, you know, if you have a bureaucrat all of a sudden interpreting the Clean Water Act as, you know, paramount to preserving the turtle in a particular case or whatever the most absurd thing would be, that is going to be extremely hard for outside groups to challenge.
And then the flip side is, you know, that because of that, the corporations have K Street.
They have the expensive law firms here and they are all pushing for interpretations and rulemaking that behooves them.
So, you know, who's not represented?
It's probably the people of the United States.
You know, you're sending these representatives to Washington and they're kind of shuffling off their work on these cadre of professionals.
steve bannon
No, this is why we say Trump, the reason they hate him so much Is in this town, in the imperial capital, our phrase is, if you're not in the room, you're not in the deal.
You've got to be in the room.
And Trump not only put the average American, working class and middle class Americans in the room, he put them at the head of the table.
And that's why, and this is why this, what Kevin Roberts and the team over here is doing so powerful, because, and you're doing it complete, It's total transparency.
You have a 900-page document.
As the guy in the New York Times, when I read this one, that's why I contacted you, I said, I think it's the best advertisement we've ever had.
It's a paid announcement in the New York Times.
Because he actually read all 900 pages.
Now he has his slant on it, but he goes through the level of detail.
If you're just a citizen reading it, you go, hey, I want to get a copy of this and check it out.
paul dans
Which you guys can.
If I might be so bold, I'd say this, as the left would like to say, this is what democracy looks like.
I mean, we are talking about a plan to put people back in their own government.
This, you know, again from the left, this land is your land, this land is our land.
But this government is as much your government as any of the folks on K Street and the big firms and the muddied interests take it.
And, you know, to build on your analogy about a seat at the table, you know, it's more, I hear a phrase often that if you're not at the table, you're on the menu.
And so, you know, do you think of that as the American citizen's interest?
Why, you know, I was just driving through you know, rural America and it's falling down.
And we have our politicians here saying the most important thing is that we give this money to Ukraine. You know, like you often say, you know, who is deciding that we go off and fight these wars?
And how is it prosecuted?
And why is this even brought to the surface?
Well, it's a cadre of people here in Washington who are doing all that micro-decision making.
And the essence of this is when people vote through popular sovereignty every four years and even every two years, that needs to have an impact.
It needs to be accountable.
And the positions that are determining policy have to be responsive to the political will.
We're not talking about taking out the expert with water safety and the like.
We're talking about You know, that's scientific, technical expertise, very much a part of government, but it's for the policymaker to ultimately sift through the, you know, the cost benefit of implementing it.
And certainly where we see these absurd, you know, pushes in electric cars or whatnot, you know, at the same time they're depowering the entire grid, we're heading for a cataclysmic result that is really, you know, an elite fever dream.
steve bannon
In fact, we've got Dave Walsh, I don't think, lined up today, maybe tomorrow to go right through.
We've got an analysis and a lot of reports coming on how net zero, this whole net zero thing is going to be catastrophic.
As you know, we've talked, had Dave on here many times talking about the grid.
How can people Get involved.
I want to make sure people, this is totally free to get.
What Heritage has done is great.
They made this totally free and totally accessible.
It's incumbent upon, and we know the posse loves being involved, immerse yourself in detail.
Now, you're not going to read this all in one setting.
It's taken by a time, but there's so many different verticals.
You're going to find out whatever your love or interest is.
They've covered it.
So how do people go and find out more about what you guys are doing?
The more people read this, the more it's downloaded, the more we talk about it, of course, the more the left's heads are going to blow up, right?
Because they understand it's now, it's a people-driven movement.
This is true populism where people get involved and can understand what, you know, what the government policy shouldn't just be above the people.
People have to understand the policy and actually be the driver.
So how do they get involved here?
paul dans
Absolutely.
We're coming together in the great tradition of America, self-organizing and doing this.
We're not, to be sure, connected to President Trump's campaign, but many of our ideas you'll see one-to-one mirroring.
We sat down and wrote this book before President Trump had even announced, but our aspiration was coming together Working together saying the conservative movement can no longer do this in fighting thing.
We have to win and we have to realize we're united on 80 90% of this stuff.
So let's go.
You know, we put this up.
Everything's at project 2025.org.
But, and you can read the book, but it's more than that.
Once you read the book, you really have to get involved.
And that's what we're ultimately doing.
We have a database that anyone, you know, can sign up to actually get into this government.
You know, when I say anyone, most of us aren't in a position to serve, but most of us know somebody who could do this work.
And you could just really sponsor or encourage that person.
Maybe they're your best employee at your Maybe they're your daughter, maybe your neighbor, but the idea is you no longer need connections in Washington to serve, you need conviction.
And we have to, this isn't going to change until the right people get in and start pulling the levers of power and being smart about it.
And that's what we're training people to do.
steve bannon
You also have another, it's a training module too, that people can go, talk to us about that.
paul dans
Our entire project is on four pillars.
With the notion that we were going to assemble a team to hit the ground running day one.
And so the first was a policy book.
You read the book, see if you're aligned with it.
You get clued into what these agencies do to you.
Sign up for the database.
You build a conservative LinkedIn.
You build your profile.
You tell us what areas you're interested in your background.
We want to see that you gave to the movement You know, you don't have to be the corner office partner the really successful person the indefatigable person who keeps popping up to the surface That's what we want the roustabouts in some cases and then three we want You to learn before you go on the job how this thing works and what's expected of you when you serve So there's an online Academy you can take classes We've crowdsourced that through experts 400 people coming
together and essentially giving anecdotes The primer that you would pick up on the job too late to pick up on the job You have to know when you walk in day one because you know the building You know is 95% the reality here in Washington. We have a permanent government the people vote 95% Democrat
They're political contributions of federal employees 10 90 95 percent towards one party and You need to know who you're serving with and you have to work effectively with them But you have to have the right mindset and then for we're building a playbook a real 180-day checklist of how the role And really be smart about taking down regulations and guidance and and really
We'll see that later.
steve bannon
I want to make sure, you know, Paul was kind enough to come over and speak at the Force Multiplier event, and I got tremendous feedback.
You didn't have enough time.
I think it was like six, eight minutes.
That's what I wanted to have you on today.
To be a force multiplier, folks, that's why I want to make sure everybody in your own nodes and cadres, I want to make sure you drive everybody over to Heritage, to the site.
And remember, Kevin Roberts, in fact, I'll get to Grace in a moment, we'll put the link back up.
When he did the panel at World Economic Forum in Davos and he told Davos man, you're the problem, right?
They haven't had a speaker like that in a while.
We've got to make sure that Kevin Roberts gets invited back next year because that kind of shocked the Davos crowd.
But we need everybody to push this out.
One, it is a great learning tool.
When people talk to you about, hey, what's MAGA, and, you know, MAGA, we understand you're a bunch of, you know, right-wing crazies.
This gets you the kind of depth of knowledge that everybody thirsts for.
It's totally free.
Then you can push it out to your friends, so it'll become a force multiplier.
Your social media, where do people get you?
paul dans
Well, you know, I am at project2025.org.
unidentified
Okay.
paul dans
That's, I'm, I'm not so sure.
steve bannon
They're smart enough.
I'd love to have Dan have his own, have his own Twitter account.
paul dans
I'm not clever enough to come up with it.
I leave that to the others.
Bottom line is you have to get involved.
We have people.
There's a plan coming.
But there isn't a cavalry.
It's when you realize you are the cavalry and take charge.
steve bannon
Nobody's coming to save us.
We've got to save ourselves.
paul dans
And that starts with getting involved.
Not everyone can come and serve in Washington.
But, you know, we have to make sure we have the talent.
steve bannon
And you can be as knowledgeable back in your hometown.
unidentified
Absolutely.
paul dans
You can help us in so many other dimensions.
steve bannon
It's all free.
Make sure you go one more time.
Where do they go?
paul dans
Go to project2025.org.
steve bannon
Also, folks, I want to make sure you've seen Paul now a couple of times in studio, but at the event, because He and Kevin Roberts are going to get so demonized over the next couple of months.
The left, Joy Ann Reid and Chris Hayes, and of course our own Rachel Maddow, they're going to make him a horned devil.
So we want to see in the flesh what a good man he is.
paul dans
We'll put on the armor of God here, but we have a great faith in this republic.
So many generations came before us to build this, and when you're hit by that and realize the great indebtedness that we didn't really deserve to even inherit, It's incumbent on us to take our small portion of life on earth and propagate it for the next generation.
steve bannon
Fantastic.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
Be back in a moment.
By the way, we keep right here in front of us all the time, the full armor of God, just down there, to make sure that we know we're always protected.
Of course, that's going to make their head blow up tonight.
That's the Christian nationalism coming through.
Short break.
Back in the war room in a moment.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
Okay, Paul Danz left some swag from Project 2025.
Hey, Grace, I'm just telling you, I got my swag here from the worm today.
But this is a man-sized mug.
I love this.
This is my favorite.
Man, he left it man-sized.
You can fill up with Warpath coffee, go to warpath.coffee.com.
I think we'll do this in the afternoon show.
I want to thank the team over at Project 2025 and we're going to work it out that we're going to have at least one of the verticals every week to go through it to make us all smarter and to make sure you know some of the great works being done here in DC to fight the administrative state.
Federal judge, folks, every day is a struggle.
New ruling just came out temporary.
Jane Zirkle, I'm going to go back.
Back to Eagle Pass.
Also some new developments what's happening there.
Get us up to speed.
unidentified
Yeah, so breaking a federal judge has temporarily blocked Texas's SB4, which is the state's immigration enforcement law that would allow Texas to have their own deportation force targeting individuals that they suspect are in the state illegally.
This has been legislation that was part of a package championed by Greg Abbott.
Of course, Governor Abbott will be down here with Trump along with Ted Cruz.
This afternoon.
And another development, there has been a dead body that has washed up on one of the ramps that President Trump will be touring down here in Eagle Path.
So just goes to show the magnitude of this immigration crisis and what Joe Biden is causing.
Joe Biden has blood on his hands.
He has Lakeland Riley's blood on his hands.
And just now, another migrant has died trying to cross the border into America.
steve bannon
Jane, what's your social media?
How do people pick you up between now and the time we come back here at 5?
unidentified
You can find me at Jane Zirkle on Instagram, Twitter, Getter, and YouTube.
steve bannon
Thanks, Jane, and we'll come back to you for the afternoon show.
President Trump's supposed to be there at 4.
I think that's Central.
I think it's Eastern.
Anyway, we'll get it figured out when we come back here at 5.
Charlie Kirk's up next with two hours of populism, nationalism.
I think Charlie's got a new announcement on a conference he's going to be putting on in June.
You'll want to tune in for that.
Poso after that.
You've got, at MirandaCon, Tara Dahl at four, we're back at five, five to seven.
Mike Lindell.
First off, get us up to date.
Georgia's exploding all over, from the murder in Athens and the blowing up of the mayor of Athens, who's a sanctuary city, to, I'm getting stuff from people in Georgia all day long of things that are going on there.
Tell me about your event last night.
unidentified
Well, I did a two hour speech and it was probably about 600 people there from all, mostly in Cobb County.
And I was down there, Steve, we're getting, as you know, we're working every county in the country to get the paper ballots hand counted.
It was a great event.
I'm heading to Florida today to do an event there in the villages.
And then I'm going to be heading to Illinois to do nine events in three days next week.
Everyone says, well, why are all these states important?
Every county, every state is important, everybody.
We've got to get to our election platform secure and we're well on our way.
And the people were really, really hopeful down there.
I told them they're kind of the tip of the spear down in Georgia with all the stuff that's coming out.
I had a really interesting thing there, Steve.
One of the guys knew Brad Rassenberger personally, so we sent him a text message.
He said, I'm with Mike Lindell.
He's kind of an interesting guy.
And Brad sent back, yeah, yeah.
What'd he say?
He sent back, he says, yeah, you're really funny, LOL, like I wasn't with him.
He said, that's...
So we were kind of giving Brad a little hard time.
As you know, I go after him every day.
I think he's one of the worst politicians in history, one of the biggest blockers this country's ever seen.
It's shameful down in Georgia.
steve bannon
What do you mean by blocker?
Explain that.
This is a term you've been using a lot lately.
unidentified
Explain to our audience.
A blocker is like Robin Voss of Wisconsin when they do a big investigation, then they get done and they block us from getting to paper ballots, or they block us to secure our elections.
Another blocker is Kim Hammers in Arkansas.
Cleaborn County last year voted to go machine free in their county to go to paper ballots.
All of Arkansas was going to follow suit.
Kim Hammers quick threw a thing through the Senate, a bill through the Senate, and it says if you go to paper ballots in Arkansas, we're going to defund your county.
That's a blocker.
There's no reason that they should be fighting us to get to paper ballots.
When the RNC ruled 168-0, paper ballots, a resolution, paper ballots, hand-counted, precinct-level signature required.
And we're tired of fighting our own party, Steve.
We're coming through and we're gonna keep calling them out like Crooked Brad down in Georgia.
We're tired of it.
And we're tired of being blocked by the RNC, the GOP.
And they better start, we're running out of track here.
We've got 10 months, but we've got over 260 counties committed to paper ballots, another 20 some.
And in South Dakota, it looks like they're gonna.
Get us up to speed.
How are we doing?
all across the country and we just want to get as much as we can secure to get our great real President Donald Trump back in office.
steve bannon
Mike, people loved that you were on the factory floor yesterday. Get us up to speed. How are we doing?
And the question people are asking, we still have the, what's the story with the shipping?
unidentified
