Speaker Time Text

Facts here are very important.
Facts are always important in a trial, or at least they're supposed to be.
The president's actions in this matter were previously reviewed and no charges were filed.
Why is that?
Because there's no crime here.
Now, eight years later, suddenly they've resurrected this thing.
They brought it back.
And why is that?
Well, just apply common sense.
Everyone can see.
It's painfully obvious that we're now six months out from an election day.
And that's the reason.
That is the reason why they brought these charges here and across the country.
What we've got here is a partisan Democrat district attorney.
We have a Biden donor judge, and we have an assistant DA who was recently a top official at the Department of Justice, Biden's DOJ, and recently received over $10,000 in payments from the Democratic National Committee.
The star witness here is Michael Cohen.
I just listened to a few moments of his testimony this morning and it is consistent with what he's already done.
This is a man who is clearly on a mission for personal revenge and who is widely known as a witness who has trouble with the truth.
He is someone who has a history of perjury and is well known for it.
No one should believe a word he says today.
He lied to Congress.
He lied to the IRS.
He lied to federal election officials.
Even Cohen's own lawyer testified to a grand jury that he is not reliable.
So there's nothing that he presents here that should be given any weight at all by a jury and certainly not this judge.
They have placed a ridiculous and unprecedented gag order on President Trump.
They were overriding his constitutional right to defend himself from political smears from his harshest critics at the most important time.
He is soon to be officially the nominee of one of the major parties in our country, running for president.
And they have him tied up here in this ridiculous prosecution that is not about justice.
It's all about politics, and everybody can see that.
President Trump is leading in swing state polling.
The American people see right through these politically motivated attacks.
I've been in 102 cities in over half the states in the last few months.
And I can tell you that no matter where we are around the country, I've been doing large events.
People from all walks of life come to these events.
And they are concerned about this.
They are disgusted about this.
They are fed up.
They've had enough.
Because they see what's happening.
It's impossible for anybody to deny that looks at this objectively.
That the judicial system in our country has been weaponized against President Trump.
The system is using all the tools at its disposal right now to punish one president and provide cover for another.
And meanwhile, among the atrocities here, the judge's own daughter is making millions of dollars doing online fundraising for Democrats.
They're using this trial as a hook.
It's so corrupt.
It's so corrupt, and everybody knows it.
This is a year-long partisan witch hunt.
Years long.
And it's been going on for quite some time.
We're seeing the same thing in the Classified Documents case.
That one is so egregious, the trial's been indefinitely postponed.
I'm working with Chairman Jordan of the House Judiciary Committee, Chairman Comer of our Oversight Committee, on measures to rein in the abuses of Special Counsel Jack Smith.
The latest revelation is that they've manipulated documents.
They might have tampered with the evidence in the case, it seems, and that doesn't surprise any of us.
In Congress, we have oversight responsibility, and it is our objective and our responsibility to hold them accountable.
These are politically motivated trials and they are a disgrace.
It is election interference and they show how desperate the opposition that President Trump has and how desperate they truly are.
The American people are not going to let this stand.
Election Day cannot get here soon enough and we will continue to shine a light on all of this in Congress because we have that constitutional responsibility.
Again, I came here again today on my own to support President Trump because I am one of hundreds of millions of people and one citizen who is deeply concerned about this.
So I'm glad that I'm here.
steve bannon
Thank you.
What a pathetic clown.
I mean, come on, man.
It is Tuesday, 14 May 2024.
Dude, you've got the ability to step in here and use your office like you should to begin at Judiciary to begin a real investigation, not up there regurgitating War Room.
We can regurgitate here fine.
You've got the actual power.
What are you doing?
I think Johnson just did this to trigger me today.
I think he went up there, just came to the sticks.
We're going to continue to shine a light on it.
We're going to continue... Boy, I'd like to have Maria Bartiromo on here right now.
We're going to continue to shine a light on it.
We're going to continue to send sharply worded letters.
We're going to continue to... He runs around like he's like a little boy.
What in the hell do you think the Democrats roll like that?
The reason the country is in the shape it's in is the controlled opposition manifested and personified by that wimp right there.
How dare you go up there into the middle of this and come out and just spew more nonsense?
Let's cut to the chase.
The donors don't want you to have Trump's back.
That's why you're not having Trump's back.
They're putting plenty of cash in back of you, $100 million.
Paul Singer in this group and Stephen Law's group just announced yesterday $70 million.
$70 million in back of Senate races.
All the big Senate races except for, wait for it, wait for it, Carrie Lake.
This is a complete, this is, this scam is, this con is so obvious.
And you have the audacity.
I hope, I hope that our beloved president, President Trump, finally getting a belly full of this.
Because this is lawfare.
Russ Vought now joins me.
We got other issues with the House and what they're trying to do, clearing the decks.
But Russ, I gotta ask you right here, brother.
You've been at this game a long time.
Is this outrageous he goes up today and just gives more happy talk in front of this instead of being in Washington D.C.
driving the action, sir?
russ vought
I mean, this is exactly what we are so frustrated with as a movement, is that our leaders that have actual power don't use that power on behalf of their own voters, their own movement.
And so we just ended several leverage points of funding in which it would have been totally appropriate to defund all of this lawfare going on.
There were amendments to do it, people like Mike Davis wrote the language for these individuals, and they just refused to consider it.
They have no desire to ever use the tools, the powers, the levers that they have at their disposal to actually accomplish their purposes.
They, in fact, just come up with shiny objects and hamster wheels for themselves to walk on while the real battle plays out and the Democrats are never opposed.
And they're setting another one of these things up over the next several months, and it's vital that we get ahead of it.
steve bannon
Okay, here's what I want to do.
Knowing they're not going to have Trump's back, they're just going to sit up there and just be more happy talk, unless this audience lights these people up on a daily basis.
Because bayonet to the back does work.
We've seen that.
That's how we've gotten moving so far.
But, remember, I say break down the next year, the most important year in American history, forget just election, break it down into three pieces.
Now to 5 November.
Five November, late in the evening until the 20th of January at noon, inauguration, and then the first hundred or so days of the Trump second term.
Right now, election interference, lawfare, trying to steal it.
You got Garland and those guys yesterday throwing it, getting in your face, right?
Then you've got from the 5th to the 20th, Mark Elias, Jamie Raskin, everything they're gonna try to do either to unwind Trump's victory or to delegitimize him in front of the world, in front of the nation.
And then starting on the 20th, they're doing this now.
De-Trumpify De-Trumpify, handcuff President Trump across the board so there won't be any first hundred days, right?
They'll only do what the Uniparty wants.
Rust vote.
Tell me about that.
People have to become aware there's an active process now to steal President Trump's second term and it's coming from a combination of the Uniparty, a combination of establishment Republicans and radical Democrats, sir.
russ vought
Steve, you laid it out really nicely.
Here's what people understand.
The funding for the government that President Trump would take control over is provided this year.
And so if you put terms on that funding, if you restrict it, we can't get Mike Johnson to restrict funding not to go to these lawfare initiatives, but if you allow the Uniparty to restrict his ability to accomplish his agenda this year, You have made it so that for the first year that he is in office, he does not have the ability or the freedom of action to be able to serve the American people based on what the election and the agenda that he wins on.
And so, right now, you're seeing the development of a meme.
It's called Clear the Decks.
And what clear the decks is, I see it in every conversation I'm having here in Washington,
D.C., is, oh, we have to remove all of the leverage points of funding, get them done
now with Democrats, by the way, because, of course, the House Democrats are, in fact,
in control of the House of Representatives.
Get those done now, between now and the end of the year, so that President Trump doesn't
have to deal with these issues.
But what they're doing with that is that they are both removing his leverage points, but
worse.
They're kicking the funding past the election to have a big, omnibus bill in which they
will include all manner of poison pill amendments, poison pill riders that turn off his ability
to govern the career civil servants, the bureaucrats, to have the ability to take an America first
perspective when you have discretionary, consistent with the law.
All of those things will be tucked in and they will do it now and they'll say, hey look, we're just trying to get our business done.
If you hear clear the decks, you have to be able to interpret it and realize that it is
an attempt against President Trump.
steve bannon
Clear the decks is to say, oh, we want to clear the decks so President Trump can have
open field running.
That is a bald faced lie.
It's the exact opposite.
This is what the cartel is doing.
Let's just go through the critical path.
Remember, September 30th, they're supposed to have all the single subject bills and all
that.
And Mike Johnson came back to the donors when he left Florida.
He came back to the donors and told them Sunday a week ago, hey, I'm going to reverse all
the changes that they forced on McCarthy.
I'm going to reverse so that the uniparty, including getting rid of the conservatives on the Rules Committee, so that the cartel once again can be in control through the instrumentality of Polly Pockets Johnson.
If you look at this timeline, you've got the 30th September is when we're supposed to get everything done.
For the fiscal year, that President Trump will step in essentially at the end of the first quarter.
What they intend to do, Russ Vought, and correct me if I'm wrong here, is when they say clear the decks, they're trying to sell MAGA and try to sell Trump that, hey, we're going to get everything taken care of so that you can have Openfield running.
What they're doing is going to handcuff him from taking on the administrative state and making real cuts and forming an economy based on the principles of President Trump, America First, and MAGA.
Russ Vought.
russ vought
No question, and this is one of the things that they pioneered under, you know, Paul Ryan and the leadership that was there, is that they would get these things going at the White House, these massive bills, and the President's dealing with a whole mess of things.
He's got the coup happening at the Department of Justice, he's got foreign affairs that he's dealing with, and they would get these things rushing with a full head of steam.
They're trying to kind of innovate on that by doing it ahead of the time that he's in
office and to do it right after the election.
No one is, they're not saying that they're going to be able to get all these bills done
before September 30th.
This is not a, this is not regular order.
What they want is they want to do it in the lame duck.
They want to do it when all of their new members are here looking for their offices and hiring
staff.
No one's paying attention to anything.
They've kicked the members off the House Rules Committee.
They've accomplished revenge over what occurred with regard to Kevin McCarthy.
And then they will move a leverage-eliminating omnibus bill with bad riders tucked into it.
And I'm telling you, we exposed them yesterday.
Our phones were blowing up with regard to the statement that we put out because we know, and they have basically gone to every one of the meetings that occur around this town and are articulating why this is on behalf of President Trump.
It's not on behalf of President Trump.
It will ruin his ability to do what he campaigned for in crushing the deep state.
steve bannon
Amazing.
Russ, where they go to get the statement?
Where they go to get more information?
We got armed.
The posse must be armed.
This is the way the cartel is going to try to thwart.
First of all, they don't want him back in.
But they get him back in, they want him back in on their terms, not Trump's terms.
Where they go, Russ?
russ vought
AmericaRenewing.com, if they want to read that statement, go to my Twitter, at Russ Vought.
It's up right now.
Get that in the hands of your member of Congress and their staff and just say, do not let this happen.
We do not want you to clear the decks.
We want the cavalry and President Trump and his team to arrive to be able to help us save the country in this late hour.
steve bannon
Amen.
Russ Vought, thank you so much.
Honored to have you on here.
Look forward to having you back.
I've got Dave Bradbury.
A big, big surprise in the next block.
The precinct strategy manifests itself right here in the War Room.
We've got some of the heroes that have taken over one of the political districts and have had great changes.
Of course, it didn't come without cost.
They weren't welcomed.
They weren't patted on the head.
Short commercial break.
Birchgold.com.
Is it turbulent enough for you yet?
Birchgold.com slash Bannon.
Okay, Russ, vote is on fire.
Remember, break it down in three component pieces.
Now to 5 November.
Patrick and team Phillips gonna be with us again on Saturday. Too busy during the week taking your calls. Short
break.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb.
steve bannon
Okay, Russ, vote is on fire. Remember, break it down in three component pieces. Now to 5 November.
And you've seen the polling. You've seen the producer price index. You're gonna see the consumer price index tomorrow.
It's not gonna change.
Biden, we're gonna run the tables.
They got lawfare, and they got stealing.
Okay?
And that same crew, we had the cold open of Garland, Monaco, and Ray, are at the center of stealing this.
Both the lawfare and the steal.
And we need action.
I heard Russ vote.
The second part with Mark Elias and Jamie Raskin taking over from November 5th to the inauguration day, that's going to be another fiasco we're going to have to fight through.
Then with President Trump, the first hundred days, which would end about this time next year, guess what?
They're de-Trumpifying his ability to have open field running with what he wants to do in his second term.
And they're using it, we have to clear the decks for President Trump.
That's a bald-faced lie.
What they want to do is handcuff Trump, Dave Brat, studio in D.C.
What do you got for me?
dave brat
Yeah, well, Russ Vought put his finger on it, as usual, right on the button.
And I'll translate his political speak into economic speak.
He said what they're trying to do is hamstrung Trump and his agenda when he gets into office.
Another word for that that we mentioned last week on the economics is they're trying to Trump-proof the economy by jacking up the spending so high.
And so, as we heard earlier by Scott Besant, The spending is a choice, right?
And so now we are doubly hamstrung because no matter what we do, we're going to get inflation, right?
Even if they try to slow things down, the long run impact of that is if you slow things down to try to help inflation in the short run, You're going to slow down GDP growth, and you're not going to be able to make interest payments on the debt, which is $35 trillion.
And so then what do you have to do?
You have to print more money and have inflation in the longer run.
They've ruined our economy, in effect.
If we speed things up right now, they get inflation.
If they try to slow things down because inflation is the number one political issue that hits everyone square in the pocketbook.
That and the border invasion.
So no matter what we do right now, whoever's president next time, and I think it looks like it's going to be President Trump, but they're going to have a hard, high mountain to climb.
steve bannon
No, because of what they're bearing.
They're handcuffing him right now.
Hang on, I'm going to come back to you on some economics.
I want to go to Mike Lindell.
Mike Lindell, you're probably President Trump's biggest defender.
You also had your life saved by coming to Christ.
When you see Mike Johnson, are you seeing and hearing a biblical worldview, sir?
mike lindell
Well, here's Mike Johnson.
This is really bad to Donald Trump.
Wait a minute, it says here I'm a Christian.
Just hold on, let me look at my notes.
This guy has no passion for our country.
He has no passion for our great real president.
This guy has to go.
I'm serious, Steve.
This is disgusting.
Him up there reading off some notes that was weak.
He couldn't even... If you have passion for our country or passion for what's going on, the travesties going on against our real president, you could speak from the heart and speak out and get the country behind you.
steve bannon
Hold it, hold it.
Lindell, Lindell.
That's my point.
You've been doing this for years, but when you talk about this topic of lawfare and stealing the election, do you need a checklist?
Do you need notes, sir?
Or does it come from the heart and the mind?
mike lindell
Absolutely.
I don't need notes.
It comes from right here.
Just like I had one of the big outlets here on the left-wing media here yesterday for two hours interviewing me, I didn't need little bullet points and stuff for me to talk to them.
When you're speaking from the heart and it's the truth, you don't need to have little notes for yourself.
It's disgusting.
If you have the passion, the guy sitting there to say this, oh yeah, it's a travesty or whatever, like you said it well, Steve, he can do something about it.
He's got the tools to go on the offense.
We've been on the offense here at the War Room and myself, we've been on the offense for over three years.
Hang on.
steve bannon
Hang on.
He said he's gone to 102 cities since he's been to all these places.
When you go around the country, what do people tell you?
They come up and flock you.
You do all the big rallies.
You go around every day.
You're on the plane speaking at groups.
What do people tell you when they come around and talking to Mike Lindell?
mike lindell
They come up to me, it's two things.
It used to be all about the great pillow products and stuff, but now it's two things, everybody.
They either come up and say, you know what?
Your story of addiction, the American dream, I've read your book, we went to your Lindale Recovery Network, my brother got saved, my daughter got saved.
You're a Christian.
Thank you for speaking up for Jesus and all these things.
The other thing is, don't give up on our country.
Don't ever back down.
We pray for you every day, Mike Lindell.
We pray that you never, ever stop your voice from talking and speaking out, no matter how much you're attacked, no matter how much your employee-owned company is attacked, which is the worst attack on any company in American or world history, for that matter.
That's what they come up, Steve.
It's their hope.
Our voices are their hope, everybody.
This is the hope of the nation, that we never lose our voice and we never keep speaking out with passion to what is right and what is the truth.
And this is all people, Steve.
These are Democrats, too.
As you know, I'm in a big program right now that we've launched, Flipping Democrats.
These Democrats come up.
I was in Chicago a couple weeks ago.
I was up in Oregon.
I've dipped these different places.
They're coming up.
Yeah, I voted for Biden.
Now I'm voting for the real President Donald Trump.
And they're pouring into this bucket, everyone.
I'll tell you what's going on in our country.
Donald Trump is a uniter of the people.
All people are getting Amen.
steve bannon
Pathetic.
mike lindell
Pathetic.
Okay.
The audience wants to know, talk to us about deals.
We know yesterday ended with the free shipping.
Johnson up there saying this was really bad. Really? You had to read that off your notes,
Speaker Johnson, to tell you it's a bad that's out there.
steve bannon

mike lindell
Thanks, Steve.
Thanks, Warren Posse.
steve bannon
Thank you.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
I'm, I am so pumped now.
We got the precinct strategy, Kelly Collins from Palm Beach, from the Palm Beach County.
Talk to us about, you guys are the backbone of, of what's changing this country.
You guys are the backbone of absolutely what's reason that Trump's polling is.
Talk to us about what happened in Palm Beach County.
unidentified
Well, first, I want to thank you, Steve.
I wouldn't be here without you.
steve bannon
What do you mean by that?
unidentified
Well, I wouldn't be, and the majority of our base wouldn't be.
You've literally started a movement, and Trump talks about a movement.
We've galvanized the base.
We have changed the trajectory of the landscape of our REC.
It is now MAGA, America First.
Our leadership team is largely MAGA, America First, and we have been doing great things in the last eight months since we came on board.
We raised the largest amount of money.
steve bannon
Hold on, before, give us the foundational myth story.
What happened?
What inspired you guys?
What got you off the couch and what got you to do it?
And how were you greeted when you showed up?
unidentified
Well, we...
steve bannon
They didn't embrace you and say, hey, the cavalry arrived, we're so pumped.
unidentified
That was the biggest wake-up call, I think, ever.
Like, not happy to see you.
Establishment, not happy.
steve bannon
Not really, really not happy.
unidentified
Not really not happy, and that's the understatement.
We are literally living a microcosm of what President Trump is on a macro level.
And it was a big eye-opener, and it has been every day, but I believe it's like a spiritual battle.
This is providential.
I know we were called for such a time as this, and I know we were.
And, you know, what got me off the couch was I didn't really realize, oh my gosh, there's 100, 300, 400,000 open precinct seats.
I can do something.
And we all jumped in.
30, 40, 50 people a month started joining the RAC like in droves.
I mean, at our local RAC.
steve bannon
They would show up.
unidentified
Just showed up and just overwhelmed.
The then chairman, they didn't know what to do with us.
Like, oh my, what do you do with all these people?
steve bannon
Did you guys come in like the Vissigoths or you just came in like middle class hardworking folks?
unidentified
We were just hardworking people.
steve bannon
But they treated you like the Visigoths.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, like, we're like, wait, wait, wait.
We want to do stuff.
We want to do stuff.
We want to get involved.
And none of us have ever been, most of us have never been in politics.
I was a totally disaffected voter for 20 years.
And now I realize it was all global, as which President Trump exposed.
And the only person ever got me excited was President Trump.
And you know, a businessman, I was like, oh, thank heaven, finally someone that's going to come in and clean up this mess, you know, and get rid of all this red tape and waste.
And anyway, so he got me pumped.
My dad was the first Trump supporter.
He took a lot of flack and he was right.
So, and we just have grown.
steve bannon
Your dad was the first one.
unidentified
He was the very first one.
He got so much flack, wore the hat, everything.
steve bannon
He wore, he wore the mega hat.
Did you give him a hard time when he first left?
unidentified
I was like, really?
And he's like, you watch, you watch.
And I was like, this man is right.
steve bannon
Hang on a second.
Kelly Collins joins us.
Precinct Strategy writ large.
Nicole Negrete is going to take us out to a short break.
Modern Day Holy War.
And yes, it is.
Short break.
Back with the Precinct Strategy in the War Room.
Just a minute.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
We're living in times of turbulence.
You know that.
Philip Patrick's going to join me on Saturday in the show as we break down everything about capital markets.
But you can get to him by going to birchgold.com slash Bannon and going right to Philip Patrick and talk to the team about the microeconomics of gold as a hedge against times of turbulence.
We give you the macro, we give you the overview of capital markets.
Got Dave Brett in our studio in D.C.
We're going to talk a little bit more about the Economist cover story, the end of the post-war liberal rules-based order.
All in a couple of minutes now with Kelly Collins.
So here's what inspired me.
Okay.
So I come in to give a speech at the Palm Beach Republican Club.
So you can imagine the swells that I think are going to be at the Palm Beach Republican Club.
And I've just given a couple of fire-breathing speeches out across the country to a hardcore MAGA audience.
So I come back and said, I got to ease my way into this and kind of test the audience.
Three minutes into it, I mean, these people are like savages.
They're just screaming and yelling.
And I said, whoa, this is pure MAGA.
But there was a group in the chairs about halfway back.
They're standing on the chairs.
I go, who are these people?
These people are wild.
Then afterwards, it was, of course, the Worm Posse and the Precinct Strategy.
It was you and the crew.
And I guess that you had such overwhelming odds when you first showed up.
And now you kind of run the deal.
Walk me through the journey.
This is very important for this audience, for people particularly that haven't gotten
engaged yet, or even people that have and have been thwarted by the establishment.
unidentified
Yeah, so thank you, Steve.
So I heard the call, like a lot of people, the Dan Schultz on the war room, the precinct strategy.
I had no idea there was 300,000 to 400,000 open seats.
And I said, oh my gosh, I think by design, we were never informed of this.
So I said, oh, I can get involved.
And one of my girlfriends at a dinner said, hey, the REC, and it kept coming up.
And I said, this is God.
This is just, I felt it.
And I said, OK, I'm going to join and got in there and we all got sworn in.
And all these people that I was with, none of us had ever been in politics.
We all got galvanized by the war room and came in altogether.
We were all excited.
And the first thing I got involved with was election integrity.
And I realized that nothing was happening.
And I was like, wait, we got to look at Palm Beach County.
I mean, we need an audit.
I mean, there's a lot of stats coming out.
We got to look at this stuff.
But what was it wasn't being looked at.
And so I started my own group, an election integrity coalition.
steve bannon
We started inside of the inside of the RAC because people just wouldn't they just didn't
unidentified
want to get that wasn't the yeah, that wasn't the interest.
I introduced five resolutions in the REC, one of which was not able to be heard, which is about calling for an audit, because right then it was like, oh no, the gold standard.
It's still the gold standard in Florida.
We had a fabulous election and all the stats were saying otherwise.
It was like, no.
So we started a coalition across the state as well, which turned in now the People's Audit, which is doing amazing work.
Our election integrity group is fabulous.
We've cleaned up a ton of the voter rolls.
We're shoring up our elections, which is fantastic.
steve bannon
What's the voter rolls of the key?
That's the predicate they do all the other cheating.
Whether it's a machine or whether it's mail-in ballots.
unidentified
Right.
steve bannon
The voter rolls, the corrupt voter rolls, what they depend on.
unidentified
Huge, huge.
And you know, there's a lot of cheating through the MPAs and that's why we want people to register Republican.
If you lean conservative, you love Trump, you know, go change your party to Republican.
You can vote in the primaries and check your voter registration status.
Make sure it's right.
Make sure you're registered and get out there and vote.
Whether it's early, you vote by mail, you vote day of, you gotta vote.
But, you know, so the journey has been interesting.
steve bannon
I mean, this is— Why did they—since you guys showed up in such mass and enthusiasm and you were new to politics, you would think, hey, I got some recruits, the cavalry finally has gotten to Fort Apache.
Why did they not embrace you?
unidentified
I, you know, I think that it's, you know, it's a small power seat that wanted to keep the power seat and not happy with change, don't want change.
And I don't know.
I don't know if there's, you know, there's other objectives going on, but I know that we came in with about a 30% win rate in the county, which is absolutely dismal, you know, with our local elections.
And we just pumped out almost 60% wins in our municipals because we changed our ground game.
steve bannon
So you flipped from 30% wins countywide to the municipals of 60%.
unidentified
How did that happen?
Exactly.
So we got it.
We have a brand new election operations team.
We have a MAGA America First leadership MAGA base.
And we said, OK, we've got to change our game.
And we talked to a county that was a red county.
They flipped red and they said, you've got to touch the voters seven to nine times.
steve bannon
We took that to heart.
That, I mean, touch them.
unidentified
Touch them.
You've got to text them.
You've got to call them.
You've got to mail them.
You've got to email them.
Seven to nine times to convert, to win.
We took that to heart.
We did it.
And we pumped out not only 58 percent wins for the county, which is almost double the
percentage it was a couple years ago, but we flipped three seats red.
One of them was a massive Democratic stronghold for years in Delray Beach.
We have a Republican mayor now.
I mean, big wins.
So we shored up some gaps.
We're running this playbook to August and beyond.
But we got six months.
We got money in the bank.
Now we blew out our biggest fundraiser of the year, Lincoln Day, which again, Steve, thanks to you and this big movement we started because of the War Room.
The base at the event was MAGA.
It was America First.
It was electric.
I mean, President Trump, I think, was just taken aback.
Over a million dollars?
Get this.
So a million dollars.
Two or three days later, we see a stat.
The Democrats had raised $1.3 million in the entire state of Florida.
We raised over $1 million, one event, one day, one county.
That's huge.
Candidates need money.
They also need you.
You know, they need us.
Whether you can, you know, you have an hour a week, you have two hours a week, you have two hours a month.
steve bannon
But can you also do it at your home?
You can do it on a computer.
You can do it at home.
If you can't get around that easily, there's something.
Everybody can be you.
unidentified
Absolutely.
Everybody.
In any capacity.
You know, oh, I don't have computer skills.
It doesn't matter.
Oh, you love a candidate.
Hey, call that candidate and say, hey, I'd love to help.
They're going to love to get your phone call.
We take it very seriously.
We are in President.
President Trump is in our backyard.
We should be the pinnacle.
We are our power seat.
We take that very seriously.
We got to win.
We got we got to win for not only President Trump, but like you say all the time, he can't
do it alone.
And he says it, too.
We got to get these local Republicans elected.
We I mean, that's where it starts.
steve bannon
How did you guys actually take over the whole thing?
Did that come down to a vote where it became the Precinct Strategy MAGA group versus the establishment?
unidentified
It did.
I mean, we actually, again, I don't believe there's any accidents.
This is providential.
I mean, if you would have said to me four years ago, this is where you're going to be, I would have been like, pfft.
I can't stand politics.
There's no way.
We would all say that.
Half of us are ex-business people.
So what happened was we had the election and then we had a chairman that got tapped by DeSantis to be in the county commissioner's seat and realized that was just too much to do both.
So his seat became vacant and I actually ran with our current chairman.
As a ticket.
And as a ticket, and he earned the vice chair seat at first, and then when our other chairman stepped down, we had another election, and he literally was a landslide for our current chairman.
MAGA, America First, you know, populists, nationalists, that's what people want.
That's, you know, getting back to grassroots, getting back to, you know, what is important, it's local.
We got to get these local, every, like what someone said the other day, get your dog cat, go run for dog catcher, like go, you know, these seats have been taken.
steve bannon
These billets are very important.
This is where the country's really governed at this level.
unidentified
All of it.
School board's important.
I mean, the Port Authority, whatever it is, I mean, we got whatever calls to you, your HOA, that's hugely important.
I mean, that's something that seems small.
I mean, my gosh, just start getting involved a little bit.
Take a step because, you know, we don't do this alone.
You know, you're one drop of water that builds an ocean, right?
steve bannon
Talk to me about that, about the camaraderie.
One thing I go around the nation, when people come up, they say, hey, look, I had, you know, my college friends, my high school friends, you know, that I was, you know, I didn't have as many friends I had.
I got in this movement.
Next thing you know, I know people all over the country.
I got camaraderie.
I'm going to meetings.
unidentified
That is exactly.
I'm so glad you said that.
I mean, some of my best friends now, I didn't know three years ago.
Some of them I didn't know eight months ago.
But there's something bonding, man, and it's giving me the chills right now about going through war together and, you know, and fighting together and having victory together.
And, you know, I mean, it's very bonding.
And you meet people that are your brethren, like, oh, wow, these people love our country.
Like, it just invigorates you.
steve bannon
You find out you're not alone.
unidentified
It spreads the fire and you go, hey, Joe, you got to get involved in this.
This is crazy.
Like you got to come over here.
This is nuts.
Like we're doing great stuff and it's infectious.
steve bannon
Victory begets victory.
Once you start winning, like you take it from that 30% winning with 30, you go to 58.
Everybody wants in.
unidentified
President Trump says you're hot.
Oh, hot.
Well, you know, before that, I don't know if people wanted to say, Oh, I don't know about this new, you know, and, but then now you win.
Like you're the, all of a sudden the Cinderella, the, the darling and, you know, but we're not stopping.
Like we're thrilled with that.
We are marching just more, more and more of that.
Keep moving the needle.
You don't move the needle by talk.
The war room's amazing.
Watching Trump rallies is great, but doesn't move the needle.
You got to get out there and you got to take action.
Even little steps.
steve bannon
What about, what do you see as the future?
What would you recommend to people to get involved here, the future here in Palm Beach County?
Because this is, you know, President Trump's going to have the winter White House here again in a few months.
About what are you guys doing, the direction going, state of Florida and also the country?
unidentified
Yeah, so you just, you got to get involved.
I mean, whether you call your local Palm Beach County REC, whether, you know, gosh, this open seat that, you know, oh, the, you know, the tax collector position is open.
Maybe I should throw my hat in.
Yeah, go look at the filing deadline.
Find your local REC.
They've got an election operations team.
They can help you.
But do something.
Pick up the phone.
Call a candidate.
Whatever it is, I promise you, you know, and they will be thrilled to hear from you.
And if you don't get a call back, then you call again.
But I can't.
I'm just so grateful to the War Room.
And I'm grateful to you, Steve.
I'm grateful that we are here.
I mean, it's a movement.
steve bannon
We've got a platform and it is a movement.
You see that.
unidentified
It's huge.
I mean, and I've been to several Trump rallies and it's just like you get it like these around these patriots and you're just like, it's God.
I mean, God is moving.
steve bannon
You think this is part of the spiritual?
unidentified
A hundred percent.
I mean, we say it all the time for such a time as this and God just used me like, that's it.
Just say, you know, if you don't know, pray about it.
It'll come to you.
Here I am.
Use me.
Use me.
That's what I say.
I don't, You know, like, I can't believe I'm here.
Sometimes you don't know what you're going to do the next day or what's going to happen, but you just do the best.
You know, take the next right step.
steve bannon
When I gave that speech, I could tell there's not difference in the Palm Beach Republican Club, although there's some donors there and some big donors, than it is if I go to Arizona or Montana or Nevada or wherever you go and give talks.
It's the exact same people.
Just a little difference in fact when I said you don't it's not about giving money.
You don't need to write checks. What you need to do is commit. You commit as a person.
unidentified
That's how we change this. Amen. Amen. And you know we've only scratched the surface. I mean
there's millions of people in this country. I mean if everybody gave even an hour a week, my gosh,
you just talk about moving the needle. I mean we doubled the wins. I mean we want to double it
again. I mean why not? We want to be bright red in this county. I mean I believe we're redder than
we've we've ever probably been in years. But we're not stopping here. We're just getting started.
steve bannon
So if people want to reach out to you from around the country, not just in the county,
about lessons learned, how they do it, where do they go, What's your landing page?
What's your social media?
People are going to be inspired by this and we want them inspired by this.
unidentified
Right.
Oh, they go to palmbeach.gop and they'll be, you know, you can fill out the form and you'll, you know, whatever your interest is and that'll be directed to the right group.
But yeah, I mean, we just, and if you don't get an answer, then, you know, certainly, you know, we want to hear from you.
steve bannon
Are you up on social media?
unidentified
We're up on social media.
That's another area where we know we need to focus more.
We know we need to make a much bigger splash, a much bigger presence, because you've got to reach all the demographics.
Some people say, oh, why do you call?
Why do you send emails?
Why do you do this?
Because we want to reach all the demographics, and we know we've got to hit social media harder.
All the platforms, all in unison, hammering the same message.
Get out and vote.
steve bannon
Do you have an email or social media we can give people?
unidentified
Well, I have the Palm Beach GOP.
Palmbeach.GOP, excuse me.
steve bannon
Palmbeach.GOP.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
steve bannon
Grace and Mo will put that up.
And if people want to contact you, they go through that?
Is there anything they specifically say?
unidentified
They can go through that.
They can say, I want to get involved with the election operations.
I want to get involved with election integrity.
I'm a great fundraiser.
I do amazing events.
Whatever it is, we can use you.
We would love to have you.
steve bannon
Kelly Collins, you never thought you'd be here four years ago?
unidentified
Never thought... When your dad starts talking about Trump, you... God rest his soul, and he was right, and I'm so grateful.
He was right about almost everything in my life, and God bless him, and I love President Trump more and more every day.
We fight for him, we love him, and we're gonna get him over the finish line, along with our local Republicans, with the help.
steve bannon
And then be there for the second term.
unidentified
Amen.
steve bannon
Amen.
Okay, Hometowntotalock.com.
Go check it out today.
Immerse yourself in the information.
Don't let somebody get you off the ramparts worried about a second mortgage by hard money lender.
Hometowntotalock.com today.
Kelly Collins, thank you for coming in the War Room.
The precinct strategy lives!
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass.
steve bannon
Kelly Collins tells us also they're working on a playbook to share with the rest of the country how they went and took it over and then changed things in Palm Beach County.
We'll make sure we'll have it back on to go through it all.
Dave Brat, your thoughts on the precinct strategy, Kelly Collins, and what you just heard?
dave brat
Yeah, well, just very inspiring.
I drove four hours up this morning, listened to 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians, as President Trump would say, and it happened on a verse that came to mind while Kelly was talking, and you got Glenn Story, another patriotic Christian, coming up, and I saw Dave Zier.
Here's the verse, 1 Corinthians 1228, King James Version for you, Steve.
And God has said, some in the church, God gives everyone a unique talent, everyone a gift, right?
There's many parts to the body, it's on the precinct, you may not know your gift yet, and if you think some people in the church are a little crazy, maybe we are, but you have special gifts.
God said some in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps.
Governments, comma, diversities in tongues.
Never saw that today until I was coming up to the war room.
A gift from God is your gift to be part of the government.
That ties us all together.
And boy, just hearing Kelly and her just straight upstairs talking, and Glenn's gonna do the same, just wanted to share a little text from God this morning with the war room.
steve bannon
Amazing.
Amazing.
Tying that together.
Glenn Story.
Glenn Story, you've been, of course, your company's been accused of being Christian nationalist.
You've been called everything in the book.
Patriot Mobile refuses to back down.
Give me your thoughts on what you heard on Kelly Collins today.
glenn story
Wow!
What a breath of fresh air.
I looked at her, I listened to her words.
I was like, she is spot on.
Grassroots is where everything happens.
And then, you know, she just has an energy about her that I, you know, I'd like to bottle up and sell.
steve bannon
No, they've done a great job.
The precinct strategy, one thing about precinct strategy, always remember, particularly you think, hey, all my friends have died.
My friends, you know, they're gone to college.
You will find once you make this step for the precinct strategy or getting involved at any level, including school board, town hall, homeowners, you will unlock the door of friendship, camaraderie.
You'll go through shared experiences.
You'll be in the foxhole.
It'll last you a lifetime.
One of the things that we really admire, Glenn, is you and the backing that Patriot Mobile has given Patriots all over the country.
Tell me about it.
glenn story
Well, you know what, I just, you know, I'll go back to that.
But, you know, what's really interesting is in Southlake, you know, three cycles ago when we took over, not we, but our little pack, Lee Wamskans and our chief marketing, our chief communications officer, she formed a pack.
And that PAC, we got together, we raised a couple hundred thousand dollars.
And the real beauty of it is, we went and found two school board members, two city council members, and a mayor.
And we won.
That was three cycles ago.
And all of a sudden, we get thousands of emails.
How did you do it?
And it's the grassroots.
Once you get folks educated, And let them know what's really going on.
All of a sudden, it's really easy to get folks involved, especially when you have a playbook.
And that was one of the things I just loved.
You know, it truly is the grassroots.
And I loved Kelly.
I loved what she said.
steve bannon
No, it's incredible.
I could tell that the other night when I gave the talk.
These people were fired up.
And of course, when they first showed up, as the book Finish What We Started shows by Isaac Arnsdorf, you're treated like the Visigoths when you first show up.
Not just from public standards, but the people have been there forever just think, oh my God, who are these barbarians?
But it works itself over time.
If you don't quit, remember, we're going to win this fight if we don't Quit.
Now, Glenn, you came today.
You've got a big announcement with everybody's favorite, Patriot Mobile.
What do you got for the audience?
glenn story
Well, nobody knows this yet.
We're launching a new product.
It's called Patriot Mobile One.
It's one cell phone.
Multiple networks.
We can put two networks on your phone and consolidate it into one bill.
You know, it's Egypt mobile, but the real beauty of it is, you know, there's areas that may not have coverage, let's say on one network, but it has excellent coverage on that network.
It floats between back and forth between the two networks on terms of data's data seamlessly.
And it just gives you that extra layer of protection or that way you have a extra, extra layer of protection that you will always have coverage.
That's just an incredible amount of incredible, incredible offer.
steve bannon
Now, how long you guys been working on this?
glenn story
Well, last several months.
I mean, we want to put it together.
We want to offer it in a great package.
You know, it's awesome, and we wanted to break this on your show, and nobody knows about it, and I really want to get it going, and I know our control room's about to blow a fuse, and I know everybody else is, but I want to make sure that everybody hears this, and we get it going right away.
We're going to offer two months for free, so you sign up today on Bannon.
Not only do you say, you know, forward slash Bannon, but just make sure you let them know that you heard that the CEO and founder's given two months for free.
I know our marketing team's about to blow a fuse, but I love it that way.
steve bannon
So when they go on, it's Patriot Mobile 1.
The new service is 1, right?
Correct?
Patriot Mobile 1, where you get two carriers?
glenn story
That's right.
That's right.
We put a combination.
Look, these modern phones have eSIM capability and you can put many, many different carriers, but you can't go to your big carrier and ask for multiple networks.
That's something that we do that only we do.
You know, maybe there's others, but we're really proud of it.
And then again, when you call in, you're going to talk with somebody either in California or Texas.
They either speak Californian or Texans.
So that's a really good thing as well.
steve bannon
Where do they go right now, Glenn?
I want as many people to pile into this as possible.
So where do they go?
glenn story
Patriot Mobile forward slash Bannon.
Or you just call 972-PATRIOT.
972-PATRIOT.
Tell them you heard about Patriot Mobile 1 on Steve Bannon and just say, hey, I heard about something about getting a couple months free.
steve bannon
Glenn Story, glad to have you on here.
Always love the team over at Patriot Mobile.
Thank you for being a sponsor, and thank you for being a patriot and supporting people's values.
