unidentified		Well, hello!
		How are you?
		Welcome to the heart of America, the heart of Virginia, and the heart of Palatine, Virginia!
		We are glad to have you out here.
		I was in charge of one thing, and that was weather.
		So, how'd I do?
		Did I do okay?
		Man, we've got a full slate of great Republican warriors out here to fight for your freedom, and you guys are going to enjoy hearing from each and every one of them.
		My name is Jim Herring, and we can't thank you enough.
		We've even got folks from North Carolina here.
		How about that?
		You come all the way up from the Tar Heel State, you're okay with me.
		Thank you so much.
		Hey, listen, we're going to try to get through some stuff.
		We've got a lot of people we want to have speak.
		I want to tell you, one of the things I love about the Republican Party is that we start each and every gathering the way we should.
		We start off with a prayer, because God comes first.
		And I want to invite Pastor Tom Atlas to come up here.
		Pastor Tom, could you please lead us in a prayer, please?
		Amen.
		Stand, if you will, please.
		Our gracious and loving Heavenly Father, we're reminded, as the psalmist said this morning, O Lord, my God, unto Thee do we put our trust.
		Lord, we acknowledge that You are our Creator.
		You're the giver and the sustainer of life.
		We magnify you and we bless you.
		Lord, we've been reminded this week that our freedoms as Americans was not free.
		Thank you for those who gave their lives, gave some their careers to defend our freedoms and our liberties.
		We remember them.
		We honor them.
		We thank you that our spiritual freedom was purchased by Jesus Christ there on Calvary.
		And we thank you and we rejoice in that.
		We thank you for those that are involved in our government.
		Lord, we recognize that you ordained the church and the home and the government.
		And so we commit it to you.
		We commit them to you.
		We thank you for this time together tonight.
		We pray for each one who challenges us.
		May we be attentive.
		Lord, may we, as your people, be the salt and the light and the culture in which you've called us to live.
		In Jesus' name we pray.
		Amen.
		Thank you, Pastor Tom.
		Greatly appreciate it.
		As I said before, we always start everything off with a prayer because God comes first.
		But the second thing to Republicans is our family and our country.
		And I want to invite the chairman of the 5th Congressional District, Mr. Rick Buchanan, to come up and lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, Jim.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We'll make this simple.
unidentified		I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for
		which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
		Greatly appreciate it.
		Next, we're going to invite a young man.
		I've had a chance to hear this man do this a number of times.
		I got to meet him several years ago.
		He's the newest member of the State Central Committee from the 5th Congressional District.
		I'd like to welcome up Daniel Bradshaw to sing the National Anthem.
		Please join me in our National Anthem.
		Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
		Whose broad stripes and bright stars Through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, Were so gallantly streaming?
		And the rocket's red glare, The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
		Alright, I gotta be honest, I can't hold the note as long as Daniel does.
		I tell you what, when I first, my county, my home county is Goochland.
		You guys can take a seat if you want.
		My home county is Goochland, and when we moved into the 5th Congressional District, I didn't know what to expect.
		Because in my 43 years, 43 years now, of involvement in politics, I'd only met two politicians who really, I thought, spoke for me.
		And I really identified was, one was Ronald Wilson Reagan, whom my son is named after.
		Ronald Reagan spoke for me.
		And a second one was Dave Brat.
		And I'm glad Dave's gonna be here.
		We'll talk about him a little bit later on.
		But when I came to the 5th, I didn't know what to expect.
		And when I first met Bob Goode, you don't just meet Bob Goode.
		You meet Bob and his beautiful wife Tracy and his family because they all come as a team.
		That's what you get with Bob Goode.
		When I first got to talking with Bob, I started going, man, this is a guy of integrity.
		This is a guy of character.
		This is a guy who really stands for something and believes in something.
		And he tells me the truth.
		And you know what?
		I'm telling you one thing, Bob Good does not back down from a fight.
		And that's what I was looking for.
		When I started learning more about my congressman, I realized my congressman does not kiss rings.
		My congressman does not answer to the party.
		My congressman answers to three things.
		Country, Commonwealth, and constituents.
		That's who my congressman answers for.
		My congressman does not stand down.
		My congressman stands up.
		Are you ready to stand up for my congressman?
		Put your hands together for Congressman Bob Good.
		Well I won't back down, no I won't back down.
		You can stand me up at the top of the mountain, I'll be there to support you.
		You can stand me up Thank you so much for being here tonight.
		back down. Thank you so much for being here tonight. Thank you so much for being here.
		And I'll say it once again, I'm so thankful that y'all are here because I know y'all have
		had a hard weeks of work and to come on a Friday night and be here tonight because you
		You care what's at stake for the country.
		You know that we're hanging by a thread.
		You know we're teetered on the edge of the cliff.
		You know what matters most.
		You realize that you've suffered far too much under the policies of the last four years.
		You know the only people doing better than they were four years ago are the illegal aliens.
		They're the only ones doing better under this Biden administration.
		And so thank you for being here tonight.
		We haven't even gotten up to our advertised starting time.
		We're going to have, obviously, our special guest tonight.
		He's going to be doing his show live from here.
		So he's going to take over and do whatever he wants to with the show here.
		We're going to do War Room right here from Powhatan County.
		Do you realize that if we were to take this crowd just right over here, this part, this is more people than have been at all the events our opponent has had since he launched his campaign in November.
		Just this part over here!
		We knew that y'all would turn out tonight, and because, again, you guys love the country, you love the Constitution, you love the founders, you love your freedoms, and you know that it's all at risk.
	So I just can't tell you how thankful we are, the way you have propelled us in this campaign, the way you have prayed for us, the way that you have knocked the doors, the way that you've made the phone calls, the way you've put up the signs, the way that you've had our back, the way you've advocated against the lies and the deceit and the deceptions.
	With our opponent's campaign.
	Let me give you the real simple answer for the things that you hear about from my opponent's campaign.
	Two words.
	They're lying.
	That sums it up.
	Liars lie.
	And that's what's happened.
	The whole campaign is based on a lie.
	He lied to you all last summer.
	When he said he wasn't going to run for something after running for state senate.
	And then of course two weeks, or actually just a week after he wins the election, before he's ever sworn in, he's changed his mind, decides he doesn't want to be a senator.
	And he decides he's going to run for Congress.
	And so the whole campaign's based on lies.
	The whole campaign's based on the seat.
	But we know that the people of the 5th District aren't going to let this seat be bought by the D.C.
	Special Interest, by the D.C.
	Swamp.
	The 5th District congressional seat is not for sale.
	So thank you, thank you again.
	We can't say that enough.
	By the way, we know we're ahead.
	We know we're ahead.
	We're absolutely ahead in this race.
	And it's going to get uglier, and it's going to get nastier over the next 11 days.
	So brace for impact, because it's coming in the next 11 days.
	Because they're in a panic.
	They're in a panic because they know that we're ahead.
	They know that people are behind us.
	I can tell you our door knocking results.
	We're knocking tens of thousands of doors.
	Overwhelming support with the door knocking this past week.
	Our numbers are holding steady.
	They know that we're ahead.
	So you're going to see that impact from the nastiness and the deceit and deception that you're going to get over these next 11 days.
	Little side note here.
	Vote early.
	Don't do like the other side and vote often.
	Just vote early.
	Only vote for me one time.
	But vote early.
	Let me give you a few reasons why you want to vote early.
	Be the first person to cast a ballot in your name, number one.
	Number two, when you vote early, then that frees you up to work on election day.
	We need you at the polls, by the way, giving out information.
	So you want to vote early so you don't have to beat your poll in place.
	And then if there's an emergency or something happens on election day, you get called out of work or family, you've already voted.
	So vote early so that you can volunteer and so you can help us on election day.
	So...
	I'm going right to Bannon.
	All right.
	We have, he is in the house so to speak, the one, the only, Steve Bannon.
	He's in the house.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Is there a happy hour or something after?
		There's got to be some reason to get you.
		Are we in the war room yet?
		Are you guys ready to fight?
		Are we live at six o'clock?
unidentified		We are?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We're six right here.
		OK, good.
		This is a great honor to come here.
		Powhatan, the historic courthouse, this county, the good folks.
		You know, I'm from Richmond.
		from from the north side for a while arm
		We're here, and you guys are here on a Friday afternoon.
		You could be doing anything.
		Why?
		You love your country, right?
		And right now, it is definitely in... How do I say this?
		It is right here of which way this country is going to go.
		Nothing's foreordained, right?
		There's nothing foreordained.
		We're losing this republic.
		You agree?
		Is this the country that was bequeathed to us?
		Those guys in that first wave on Thursday, on 6th June, did they die for what this country's devolved into?
		You sure about that?
		So what are you prepared to do to take it back?
		This can't be, and it can't be, Donald Trump's shoulders, or Peter Navarro's shoulders, or Steve Bannon's shoulders, or Tucker Carlson, or Alex Jones, or Rudy Giuliani.
		Too big to rig.
		But hey, they're either going to imprison or bankrupt all of us, right?
		That should not matter to you.
		This is all about one thing.
		This is about total and complete victory.
		There's no other way.
		We don't have another choice.
		And we can't continue to lean all the time on President Trump.
		Look at the pressure on him.
		We can't continue to lean on Rudy and Navarro and Tucker and Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, all of us.
		It's next man up.
		And you know who the next man is?
unidentified		It's you, it's you, it's you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We had McGinley on today, right?
		We have McGinley on today.
		What did McGinley say?
		It's $2 billion.
		The foreign billionaire's got $2 billion against us.
		$2 billion, right?
		$2 billion.
		The DNC's not much.
		The Biden campaign's not much.
		But the RNC's restaffing right now and raising money.
		The Trump campaign is hitting on all cylinders, but they don't have a ton of money.
		And Bill McGinley said it.
		It's gonna be you.
		You're the determining factor.
		There's nothing else.
		It's you.
		That's what populism is.
		You know what populism is?
		It's saying, I'm going to do it.
unidentified		I'm not going to depend on somebody else to do it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		How the hell do you think the country got in the shape it is?
		We depended upon too many people.
		And guess what they did?
		They lied and misrepresented.
		And who were they?
		They were standard Republicans.
		That's why Bob Goode, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, right?
		You like the Freedom Caucus?
		Why do you like the Freedom Caucus?
		Because they stand in the breach and they will get something done.
		These are the men and women that have been there on the tax cuts, on stopping this budget.
		And let's say why we're here today, and why I'm here today.
		There's nobody... Look, my support of President Trump is unconditional.
		Unconditional.
		It has to be.
		Think about it for a second.
		When he went back to Mar-a-Lago, he could have stayed in Mar-a-Lago.
		He could have played golf and bought more golf courses and hung out with Melania and his family.
		All of it.
unidentified		They would have given him $30 million to do a memoir.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		He would have been a grand old man of the Republican Party.
		They would have gone down there and paid all the comics to him.
		They would have done all that, right?
		I've done specials about him.
unidentified		All of them.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		New York Times reported this.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		The Republican establishment wanted him to do that.
unidentified		Including Kevin McCarthy.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		And why are we here today?
		Why are we here today?
		Because of Kevin McCarthy.
unidentified		Right?
unidentified		We're here not because of Democrats.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We're here because we were sold out by the Republican establishment.
unidentified		And they hate, they hate anybody that will stand up to them.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This is not about President Trump.
		Every person in this crowd would sacrifice anything for President Trump.
		President Trump, here's why he's one of the greatest Americans in our history.
		equivalent to General Washington and to Lincoln.
		He knew what they were going to do if he came back.
unidentified		Right?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		To put him in prison for 700 years and you don't think they want to put him in prison?
		You wait to July 11th when they give him a printing sentence on a totally bogus and sham trial that was a disgrace and like the Moscow show trials Of the 70, can I stand in front of this camera?
		You kind of lose me if I walk off?
		Oh, it does?
		That's okay.
		As long as you can hear my voice.
		This is not that great a looking package, okay?
		First off, first off, brother, good.
		I've never seen good not in a suit, but man, you come out today, you think... This is how we do rallies in the 5th District.
		Where's the Harley?
		Where's the Harley?
		President Trump knew they were going to try to bankrupt him.
		President Trump knew they were going to try to imprison him.
		Name me another individual in the political history of the country that's done that.
		Nobody!
		And I include General Jackson, Lincoln, all of them.
		It's like the founders.
		They knew the founders in this great commonwealth, the founders and framers we had to come from here, from this historic state.
		They knew That they were committing treason to the crown.
		And what they said is that we don't care.
		We'll put up our sacred honor.
		That's the same as Donald Trump and the elites, the ruling elites of this country, Republican and Democrat, hate him for it.
		He's a class traitor.
		What other person in our history has ever willingly said, I know they're going to bankrupt me, I know they're going to imprison me, I know they're going to mock and ridicule me, they're going to destroy my family and everybody around me, and still did it.
		And look at the arc we've been on.
		From he got to Mar-a-Lago, his approval was in the 30% and all the Republican establishment bailed on him.
		But look at the arc today.
		I challenged the CNN person yesterday, if you held the election today on CNN's polling, and the New York Times polling, and MSNBC's polling, Donald Trump would win in a landslide!
		350 electoral votes, including the great state of Minnesota and the sacred Commonwealth of Virginia!
unidentified		That's right.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		And we would take the Senate!
		And we'd increase the House!
		And that's why we need Bob Good more than ever, right?
		Right?
		Brother Good, come over here and say a few words.
unidentified		The great Steve Bannon.
		You know, I text... Steve probably won't like me saying this, but I texted him today and I said, Steve, this verse just kept playing in my mind today.
		The verse from Galatians 6, 17.
		And the Apostle Paul said, from now on, everybody leave me alone, because I bear in my body the marks of Christ.
		Steve Bannon bears in his body, euphemistically at least speaking, figuratively speaking, the marks of patriotism, of freedom, and of courage.
		He's literally put it all on the line for the country.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hell, I was on a Navy destroyer for what, three and a half, four years.
		You know, prison's not gonna be that bad.
		By the way, it's just serving my country in a different way, right?
		You think I'm gonna kowtow to Nancy Pelosi?
unidentified		Never!
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I'm proud of it!
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Right?
unidentified		Now...
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Obviously, I had a lawyer that said one thing, and I followed him.
		But the central part of it to me is the committee is not a legitimate committee.
		It didn't have a ranking member.
		It didn't have a minority council.
		And this is why it had no impact.
		Remember all the democracy?
		It's the end of democracy, end of democracy.
		This is democracy!
		That's what they hate about, the precinct strategy.
		How many precinct committee men we got here?
		All right.
		Seven, not bad.
		We need more.
		That's how you take over the Republican Party.
		Why are we here today?
		And I've got brother Dave Brat.
		I've got Mo Bannon.
		We've got other people we're going to bring.
		But I have one question.
		I just got to get this out there.
		Because we have unconditional support for President Trump, right?
		But President Trump needs backup.
		We're here today because these heroes fought McCarthy and the cartel and the establishment to a standstill in January 2023, right?
		And we made a deal!
		And you know what the elites in Washington hate more than anything?
		They sit there and they go, man, these constituents, when they're calling up, they have too much information, right?
		Seriously, you guys are so well-informed, they can't hide anymore.
		They cut a deal that if McCarthy had lived up to the deal, We would be in good shape right now, right?
		We would have had all the single, we had all the single topic appropriations bills and most of you watch, we're up at 2 and 3 in the morning watching those amendments, watching those fights, watching democracy and work, right?
		We would have had a budget that somehow at least would have been somewhat out of control.
		He lied.
		He lied.
		He lied to everybody, had no intention of doing it, and the first big lie, the big one, was the debt ceiling deal.
		We have $35 trillion in debt, and we're adding a trillion dollars every 100 days.
		Think about this for a second.
		They're going to start talking in the next couple of weeks.
		We have $35 trillion in debt.
		We're adding a trillion every day.
		We're financing this with 90-day bills, Treasury bills, not selling 10s and 30s, right?
		The illegal aliens now, they tell us that 10 to 15 are central to the economy.
		They say absolutely central to the economy.
		And they're going to announce next week, for the second quarter, you're going to have 1.4% growth.
		This is not sustainable.
		This is a Ponzi scheme.
		And who we're leveraging up?
		These little kids running around.
		They're done.
		They're not going to have America as we've known it.
		And Bob Good stood up for that, and fought for that, and said, no we can't, and McCarthy sold us out, and he went to the White House, and this is the unforgivable sin.
		He gave them another year!
		He gave them a year, you know why?
		He wanted to take it out of the election year because the donors said, oh my gosh, if it's in the election year and you're running these big deficits, which you'll do $2 trillion deficits, they're going to look around the table and say, well, hey, what are the billionaires, what are they paying?
		What are they really paying?
		And they don't want that.
		They kicked it past the 2024 election into 2025.
		So now it's Donald Trump's problem, right?
		That's what he did.
		The most powerful thing when we came back.
		And I gotta have you here, brother.
		The most powerful, when Gates and those guys came back the second time, in the first time in the history of this country, remove a Speaker of the House, was when Bob Good stood up there and told about his journey.
		Right?
		Your journey.
		That moved the nation!
		They said, this is a solid guy, this is a good man.
	He didn't agree with McCarthy on policy, but once he makes a deal, he's prepared to live by that deal, Live by it, right?
	As long as the cartel lives by it.
	And what will we rely to?
	You know why?
	Because they think you're a bunch of morons and don't count.
	They don't trust your power.
	Well, if Kevin McCarthy knows it now, and that's why this revenge tour he's under, out, is ridiculous.
	It's an obscenity.
	He's got to back off.
	and anybody takes his blood money has no business being in the next Congress to support President Trump.
unidentified		Walk through again.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		If people have forgotten, you stood up there after Gates.
		The fire-breathing Gates.
		You stood up there.
		But we needed that.
		We needed somebody whose hair was not on fire.
		Right?
		And Bob Good can do that.
		Tell us about that journey.
unidentified		If you go back to January, the deal that was made with the former Speaker, and Gates and I were among the six who never actually voted for him, but we agreed to vote present, because 14 of our colleagues had negotiated some changes that we gave them the leverage and the space to negotiate.
		And to Steve Bannon's point, McCarthy's mad at everybody who he holds responsible for him not being Speaker, except himself.
		But he's the one who promised that we'd have a vote on a balanced budget.
		He broke his word.
		He promised that we'd bring all 12 appropriation bills to the floor for a vote.
		He broke his word.
		He promised that we would impeach Secretary Mayorkas.
		He broke his word.
		He promised that we'd go back to majority of the majority, meaning we wouldn't bring bills to the floor that didn't have a majority of Republican support.
		He broke his word.
		And then it's to Steve's point, he passed that debt ceiling deal, predominantly with Democrat votes, and took the debt ceiling increase, not for a dollar amount even, He said, we're going to take it to January of 2025 for as much as Congress can come together and gleefully spend.
		And there's one thing Congress is good at, gleefully spending your hard-earned money.
		And they took it out to January of 2025.
		And then the final straw was September of 30 of 2023, 2022.
		23, 23 was when he did the continuing resolution again with almost every Democrat vote.
		The Democrats voted for it like 95%.
		You didn't elect us and give us a Republican majority and trust us with your vote to do what Democrats want to do in Congress.
		And that's why he's not the Speaker.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I just found out we're like three minutes before broadcast time.
		I've used all my best stuff.
		I only got so much in it, baby.
		We're going to have some audience interaction, obviously, to get us through the next hour.
		We want to hear what you guys have to say.
		Was that magnificent with President Trump?
		Think about this.
		Think about this.
		The historic 80th commemoration of Normandy and the heroes there.
		And what Biden did with Zelensky and all.
		It's just not appropriate to politicize it.
		Right?
		Look at Trump.
		Trump goes out to, and this is after doing the bodega run, and the construction workers, remember that?
		And the firemen, and South Bronx, and in between there you got Wildwood, New Jersey on a cold Saturday.
		100,000 people, right?
		Not exactly known for MAGA at Blue State.
		Then he goes down, does a Charlotte 600.
		Huge crowd standing ovations.
		And then yesterday he goes out to the church, to the Dream City Church.
		Five or six thousand people, Hispanics, Evangelicals, MAGA.
		The questions, hell Bob, the questions are better than you guys asking in Congress.
		They are!
		Because they're coming from the heart.
		They're coming from the heart.
		Then he goes to Silicon Valley to David Sachs and all these, all these tech billionaires and isn't it great?
		To have them be supplicants?
		Isn't that great?
		Oh, MAGA's terrible.
		MAGA's a bunch of fascists.
		MAGA this, MAGA that.
		They ain't saying that now, right?
		It's old President Trump.
		You know, David Sachs, very smart guy.
		The A-B test.
		He did the A-B test, right?
		And Trump won.
		Of course Trump's gonna win.
		Look at the economy you did!
		We had four, well, we had three years of peace and prosperity until we were hit by a Chinese Communist Party bioweapon, right?
		When are we going to start talking about, when you, when we get back, you have the majority, you're House Freedom Caucus chairman again, when are we going to start talking about Chinese reparations?
		Don't we need CCP reparations?
		Don't we?
		To the whole world!
unidentified		To the whole world!
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Start with the Chinese people!
		Start with Lao Baijing!
		Let's say it's him. Do you want reparations of these dictators to ruin your life?
		Now we know the Freedom Caucus is about freedom and liberty and cutting taxes, but these investigations
		When are we going to, when are we going to turn up, when are we going to turn up the heat?
		Right?
		When are we going to?
unidentified		What?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		Who is that?
		Who is that?
		Who's that?
		Garland?
		Who's Garland?
		Garland Merrick?
		Oh, that's right.
		That's right.
		That's right.
		Did he lie the other day?
		Did he perjure himself?
		Do you expect... See, they have no respect for you.
		The old way of doing things would be a clip on Fox News.
		That doesn't work anymore.
		It doesn't work anymore.
		You people are more knowledgeable than guys in Congress and in the imperial capital.
		Goodness, staff know that.
		You guys are on point because finally you have information.
		And you got, thank you very much, we try, but you got, hold it, you got so many great podcasts, you got guys putting up new sites, you got Breitbart, you got Citizens Free Press, you got all of it, you got Revolver, all of them.
		You got all of them.
		Darren Beattie.
		I want to introduce my agent right here.
		Keep it up, brother, we love you.
		Platinum C, right there.
		Thank you, sir, appreciate it.
		No, it's so many sites, and people know.
		So when Garland goes up there, he shows you the old school way of doing it.
		He's just gonna lie.
		Do you honestly expect me to believe that Matthew Colangelo, Colangelo the number three guy, Gorsuch on the Supreme Court, it's Gorsuch's old job!
		Do you understand?
		It's a ticket to the bigs.
		You're there, number three, in back of Lisa Monaco and Merrick Garland himself.
		And remember, Colangelo is one of those Obama radicals, like Lisa Monaco, big time.
		These are super radicals.
		Do you honestly believe he left that to go be the assistant to the assistant to Alvin Bragg in that crowd?
		That group looks like the bar scene in Star Wars, doesn't it?
		You seen them?
		Eyes on the side.
		There's a crazy-looking group.
		And Klansman's up there.
		And he lies.
		I didn't know he... And Gates.
		Gates can really... Can Gates... Can Gates... Can Gates do it?
unidentified		Gates can do it.
unidentified		Gates... There's nobody better.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Tell us about... Tell us about the... Are we live now?
		We're live?
		War Room audience?
		You... Is it six?
		Six... Six...
		Pick the feet up, good, good, because I only got so much gas in the tank here.
		I'm an old man.
		Give us the agenda, the House Freedom Caucus agenda, because we're going to hold the House, right?
		You guys can feel it right now, because in 16, President Trump was over to Virginia.
		He was all over.
		As you remember, he came to Virginia over and over again.
		And being from the Commonwealth, I said, I just don't feel it.
		The other one, he was in Minnesota.
		Remember, we went to Minnesota one time.
		We only went to Minnesota one time, and it was by happenstance, on the last weekend, like Sunday, Monday, we're going to do like 20 rallies.
		Now what person, like standing up here tonight, I'll be worn out when this is over.
unidentified		Right?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Good?
		You're worn out.
		Trump does five rallies a day with twelve, fifteen thousand people.
		It's superhuman strength.
		We were doing, I think we were doing, we finished at Laura Ingraham's place at like, she has a ranch or a farm or something, like three in the morning.
		Started in Colorado at six, but we went to Minnesota because Paul Ryan, you ever heard of Paul Ryan?
		You know Paul Ryan?
		So Paul Ryan calls on Friday or Thursday with Reince and says, no, we got to cancel.
		We have to cancel Trump's visit.
		And I go, we have to cancel Trump's visit?
		It's the middle.
		We're coming from Colorado, Nevada.
		We're coming everywhere.
		And you're the pivot going to Iowa.
		And you're the pivot.
		Then we're going to head down.
		So we got to go.
		We're stationed.
		We got it.
		Everybody's there.
		He goes, I can't do it.
		We say, why?
		He said, well, I already lost Wisconsin as Mitt Romney's running mate.
		And Trump's going to lose, and if I get on the final week and lose again, I'm finished as a national figure.
		Well, I didn't want to tell him, I didn't want to tell him, I said you're finished as a what?
		See, this is the grandiose, this is delusions.
		So I said, well, hold it.
		We're going to win it.
		We're over the target.
		This is going to be tight, but we're going to win this thing by 10,000 or 20,000 votes, because she's never been out there.
		She never went to Michigan or Wisconsin, never went out there.
		Too arrogant.
		They got that locked.
		They got the labor unions and the universities.
		Her arrogance.
		She wanted to go to Arizona and Georgia and run the score up on us, right?
		So I said, come on, man.
		We got to do it.
		Boom.
		Done.
		So I said, what are we going to do?
		It was Laura Ingraham said, Minnesota and I got a buddy that owns a hangar and some planes and he'll let you pull the plane right up.
		I said, okay, but we got no time to advertise it.
		No time to put it up on Facebook.
		And he's been on me from day one about going to Minnesota.
		And I said, we got to focus on this.
		We pull up.
		It's like 20 degrees.
		We're about to land.
		There are 15,000 folks.
		Hold it!
		In the hangar!
		They got the hangar door open and it's jammed.
		and the guy that owns that, I've never seen him, there's another 20,000 folks down on the wire,
		on the fence looking for him.
		And what does he do?
		We pull the car over and he walks down, says hi to everybody, and that cold goes.
		We're going up, he says, Minnesota, what should I talk about?
		Stephen Miller says, the Somalians.
		That, I've never seen a crowd.
		And we lost by under 1%.
		If we had gone one more time, we would have won.
		I have the same feeling now of the Commonwealth of Virginia, right?
		If we have a massive turnout, so I'm going to turn to my expert, then I'm going to bring Brad in and Mo Bannon, but tell us, first off, I want to know about the campaign and about what's going to happen this fall in the Commonwealth and in your district.
	And then I want to talk about your program to help President Trump and the Freedom Caucus going forward.
unidentified		All right, well, you stop me when I go too far with it, Steve.
		This is your show, my friend.
		Thank you, my brother, for being here.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		You know, I just want to say... Hang on for a second.
		Hang on.
		Hang on.
		I know the audience loves it when I cut in.
		A lot of it loves it when I cut in guests.
unidentified		Shut up and let Danny talk.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Well, you shut up, Bannon, and let the guests answer a question.
		Hang on.
		Hang on.
unidentified		Hey, I'm joining my friend Thomas Massey in calling, and it applies to Steve.
		We need, as a Congress, as a Republican House, we need to rescind that subpoena to appear before the J6 committee.
		We, as a Congress, need to rescind that subpoena.
		Number two, we need to have a House vote to condemn the J6 committee, to condemn that committee.
		Obviously, I did not vote to form that committee.
		I voted against that when I first got to Congress a little over three years ago.
		But I believe we are going to win Virginia.
		I believe we are going to win Virginia.
		Virginia is in play.
		You know, you think about our campaign.
		Our campaign's a little bit like the Biden-Trump campaign.
		Biden can't do events because he can't draw a crowd, and then President Trump gets tens of thousands of people, 100,000 people in New Jersey.
		Our campaign, we get hundreds of people that show up to our events.
		Now, we don't always have Steve Bannon, so we don't always have this many, but we've got hundreds of people that come out to our events, thousands cumulative so far.
		Our opponent had 15 people yesterday in his home county of Goochland County that showed up with him and the lady from Georgia.
		We agreed to seven debates!
		Does that sound familiar on the presidential level?
		We agreed to seven debates, kind of at any time, anywhere, and I got to spend three weeks of the month in Washington.
		My opponent, who stands outside on the highway, holding a sign and waving at cars as they go by and is not in session, he doesn't have time to do any debates.
		We know who the people of the 5th District are behind.
		That's why he can't show up in front of you, because he can't take your questions.
		He knows you're not behind him.
		He does all of his fundraisers up in Washington, D.C.
		His money's coming from D.C.
		and California.
		We know how he would vote.
		Look at the people who are supporting him.
		They voted for reauthorizing FISA without protecting your constitutional rights to a warrant.
		They voted for those big omnibus spending bills that took our debt even higher.
		They voted to send $60 billion of borrowed money overseas to Ukraine.
		They're the people who are behind my opponent.
		How do you think he would vote if he got to Washington?
		And that's why you are not going to send my opponent to Washington.
		You're going to keep me in Washington doing for you the things I said I would do.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Has he committed to be part of the Freedom Caucus?
unidentified		Well, he's not going to have to answer that question, number one.
		Number two, the Freedom Caucus wouldn't take him because his voting record is so bad in Richmond.
		And number three, no, he can't turn his back on the people who have funded his campaign.
		He can't even talk about the Freedom Caucus.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Here's a question I got, too, for Bob, but for the whole audience.
		You are part of a fascist movement, right?
		You're following a fascist leader.
		A guy wants to be dictator.
		You're all brown shirts.
		You're all fascists.
		Correct me if I'm wrong.
		Is it not this audience and the MAGA crowd through Bob Good and Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump?
		Were we not the people that didn't want the warrantless FISA?
		Aren't we, of any American, even our opponents?
		How does that work?
		That the media doesn't pick on?
		That we're the people want to get back to civil liberties and no state Like the Commonwealth of Virginia knows what it is to fight for its liberties, right?
		Amen, brother.
		You may be on the short list of guys that are going to be honorable co-hosts if I end up in another location.
		Now, talk to us about that, because this is what gets me.
		We are the party that fights fascism.
		We believe in entrepreneurial capitalism.
		You don't want the lords of easy money on Wall Street, right?
		You don't want the techno-feudalism coming out of Silicon Valley.
		Every day you're fighting for civil liberties, civil rights.
		The liberties and freedoms that were bequeathed to us after generation after generation, and the other side is a proto-fascist organization starting with the media that's their active partners.
		So how is it that we, and you still got these Republicans in there, that don't mind giving the CIA, the FBI, and the DOJ the right to listen to you, to get your information, To see what you're doing.
		How are we the fascist party when they back legislation that's purely fascist and give it to people that are unworthy to have that?
unidentified		Yeah, what we did with those omnibus spending bills that were passed at the end of March gave Secretary Mayorkas and the Department of Homeland Security a $3 billion raise to bring more illegals into the country.
		We should have defunded that department and refused to fund this government that's perpetrating the border invasion.
		Moreover...
		They gave the FBI $200 million to build a new headquarters.
		The two senators from Virginia have asked me in the past to sign on to trying to get the FBI headquarters in Virginia instead of Maryland, and I said, I don't want them to get $1 for a headquarters.
		Matter of fact, I want to defund them, start over, and rebuild it from the ground up.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hang on.
		I love this plan.
		I put this up on Getter the other day.
		I think you're talking about the show.
		Here's the idea.
		We go down to Pennsylvania Avenue, and by the way, the ugliest building in Washington, D.C.
		is that Hoover building, right?
		It's that modern architect, 19th century, horrible.
		So we get everybody out of there.
		So nobody's in danger.
		And we take it apart, ugly slab by slab, right?
		And then we do what the Romans did to Carthage.
		We salt the earth around it and nothing else.
		They don't need a headquarters.
		They gotta be disbanded, deconstructed.
		The Freedom Caucus, one of the things, tell people about this thing called authorization.
		We do the defense authorization every year.
unidentified		Boom.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		And that's where they're getting, you know, that trillion dollar budget.
		But how many departments, including DOJ and other departments, are supposed to be authorized every five years?
		How many are actually not authorized and haven't been authorized in two or three decades?
unidentified		Hundreds.
		And what he's talking about is the departments and the agencies of the federal government are supposed to be authorized.
		The programs are supposed to be authorized every so many years, typically five years.
		We've got hundreds of them for Hundreds of billions of dollars that have not been authorized in decades, in decades, and yet we still give them the money to keep doing stuff to you while they're pretending to do stuff for you, and we control the power of the purse, the Republicans.
		We could absolutely shut down this government, defund the weaponization, not give them the money to keep doing the things that we campaign against.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This is why, now here's the scam, this is how you deconstruct the administrative state.
		This is how you deconstruct.
		And Trump's team, you know, those guys at CRA and American Policy Institute, American First Policy Institute, Heritage, go on their sites and read it.
		They're talking about doing it.
		Here's one way you do it.
		You ask, well, why haven't they been authorized?
		It's just a vote.
		They haven't been authorized because they've expanded into so many programs and so many areas they should never be in.
		They couldn't sit there for hearings and they couldn't get a vote to pass it.
		This is the way you start.
		Everything's got to be authorized.
		All we want, all MAGA wants, is rules that are highly defined.
		You give us the rules, right?
		You give us the rules, we'll work through the rules.
		This problem in D.C., it's totally lawless.
		This authorization scam, you have all these departments, they're in all types of programs, and the only way you cut the budget is not percentage.
		You have to take out programs.
		That's one of the things that Russ Vought and, you know, remember, Russ...
		That was the deputy OMB director under President Trump, then the OMB director.
		You ask Russ anything on the budget, seven trillion dollars, he'll say, Russ will say give me five minutes and he'll come in with the answer.
		One of the answers is to start to force DOJ, the FBI, The CIA, all the intelligence, make them come in front of you guys, make them make a presentation, have the questions and answers, the due diligence, and then let's put it to a vote.
		You're going to shrink the federal government by 10% right off the box, programmatically, because they know you were never authorized to do that, you shouldn't have done it, and you're not going to do it in the future.
unidentified		Yeah, we ought to cut some half a trillion dollars from the federal government.
		Most of the discretionary spending is totally unjustified, totally unconstitutional.
		What do the founders intend?
		That the power would be kept at the state and the local level.
		And the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, what do they say?
		That the powers not given to the federal government in the Constitution are left to the people in the states.
		When you talk about limits of the federal government and constitutionalism in Washington, They look at you like you got three heads.
		They don't care about the Constitution.
		They don't care about the limits of power.
		They don't care about the limits of what the framers intended.
		That the power, again, was supposed to be on the state and the local level.
		I got on the Education Committee because I wanted to eliminate the Department of Education.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Amen.
		We're going to get back to this topic.
		Patti Lyman joins us.
		This is Trump All The Way.
unidentified		Our National Committee woman.
		Just re-elected.
		National Committee woman.
		Thank you.
		Thank you.
		I am very proud.
		I'm proud of that title of National Committee Woman, but I'm more proud of my title of being
		a charter member of the posse.
		We have a new Republican Party and we're never, ever going back.
		Thank you.
		The reason I have been everywhere that Bob Goode needed me during this campaign, and I will through the entire process, is that this isn't really about an opponent versus Bob Goode.
		This is about a failed, disgraced ex-Speaker versus the House Freedom Caucus.
		Make no mistake.
		This is about there being no House Freedom Caucus whatsoever.
		You know, we've gotten a little bit spoiled since those who went before us started the House Freedom Caucus, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan.
		We've gotten a little spoiled.
		We are used to seeing Republicans up there Fighting back when our own leadership is corrupt, when they turn their back on the grassroots, when they ignore the Constitution.
		We are used to having people speak up now and say something and inform us so we can speak up.
		You know, that didn't used to happen.
		Ever.
		People went there and all they cared about was keeping their nose clean so they could get the money they needed and they could get the committee chairmanships they wanted.
		And frankly, the grassroots were not thought of.
		That was it.
		You were supposed to shut up, sit down, give them money, and vote, okay?
		That was back in the Boehner era.
		What Kevin McCarthy and his cohorts want is to take us right back to that.
		So these heroes that we saw in January 2023 and then at the end of 2023, so they will all be silenced.
		That is the plan.
		Bob's not the only one they're doing this to.
		But they don't understand we have a brand new Republican Party.
		We are never, ever, ever going back.
		I just came out, yes!
		I just came out of a race where the long knives were out for me.
		And I don't just mean in this state.
		I mean nationally as well.
		People that don't like this new party.
		People who don't like you.
		Well, you told them different.
		We are never, ever going back.
		By the grace of God, Virginia, as usual, as we have for 400 years, we will lead the way.
		We will save the House Freedom Caucus, not just for us, but for the whole country.
		Our secret power is we know who we are.
		We know whose we are.
		We know why we are here.
		And we're not turning back.
		And I'll leave you with this.
		Never forget this.
		We are from the Republican wing of the Republican Party.
		Can we give it up for Patty Levin?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Simon!
unidentified		Amazing.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		A fighter!
unidentified		Thank you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Think about it, try to throw the most Trump person off of being a committee man.
		Bring Dave Brat up to be with Bob Goode.
		This is why we need Bob Goode and head the Freedom Caucus, Freedom Caucus back.
		Let me give you some inside baseball.
		So when we, President Trump wins in a landslide, right?
		So he gets back in on the 20th of January.
		He's got to go through the Deep State, Administrative State, but you got 10 to 15 million illegal aliens here, right?
		Got to seal the border first.
		What are you going to do with that?
		You've got these forever wars exploding all over the place.
		Now, I happen to think that immediately President Trump can get into this fiasco in Ukraine and cut a peace deal, because they would never done if he was president.
		I think he'd do the same thing in Israel, right?
		Because they were never done if he was president, obvious.
		And then he's got to back down, and he will back down, Xi and this out-of-control Chinese Communist Party around Taiwan, right?
		But then it's the economy.
		And remember, Biden and those guys haven't seen any spending bill they didn't love.
		And I'm talking trillions of dollars of side pocket deals and this deal.
		But when those tax cuts, when President Trump is president, and those tax cuts that have helped you so much in business, when they revert back, all of a sudden these guys, oh my God, I can't have a tax cut.
		It's gonna, it's gonna be, So important for the House Freedom Caucus to work with the President, to work with, I hope, the new either Deputy Secretary of Treasury, the head of OMB again, Russ Vogt, and the team over there to say, we're going to have to have some pay-fors.
		These budgets are so out of control, we need to have some logical cuts in the budgets to make sure that we're offsetting at least part of the tax cuts so the tax cuts can get back to what they were doing under President Trump's terms.
		So how are we going to do that?
unidentified		Steve's obviously right.
		We've got to have growth again.
		We've got to go back to the pro-growth Trump policies.
		The pillars of the Trump economic growth was low taxes, low regulation.
		He got seven or eight regulations for every new one regulation.
		And Biden has went the exact opposite way.
		You're paying about $8,000 a year in hidden taxes and higher regulations.
		Everything costs more because of this White House.
		So it was low taxes, low regulations, cheap, plentiful energy as we were on our way to become an energy dominant.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Full spectrum energy dominance, right?
unidentified		And fair trade.
		Fair trade.
		Pro-America growth policies that are important for the economy because we've got to grow our way out of this deficit in addition to cutting the wasteful spending.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		And President Trump and the fair trade?
		He's going to use the tariffs as a bludgeon, right?
		He's going to bludgeon these other nations.
		I believe what you're going to see under President Trump This is a whole restructuring of the economic order with something that's not the madness that we had with this post-war international rules-based order, where they gamed the system, the elites gamed the systems for their own benefit, the party of Davos, and gutted the middle class here, and gutted the working class here, of all the great, high-value-added manufacturing jobs.
		Trump's gonna reverse that!
		Right?
		He's going to reverse that.
		And that's why we're going to need smart, tough people here to help with the budget.
		Okay, we have one of the smartest.
unidentified		Speaking of smart.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Speaking of smart.
		He's a theologian.
		How many PhDs do you have?
		Dave Bradshaw probably needs two hands.
		He's a theologian.
		He's a doctor of economics.
		One of the most brilliant guys I know.
		A great guy.
		And one of the original guys.
		Come over here.
		I just want you to tell them the story of...
		You're no longer on the short list of being an honorary co-host.
unidentified		It's not.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		you You're like one of my ex-wives, so easily persuadable.
		They were all great.
		They were great girls.
		This was the problem.
		Trust me.
		Trust me.
		They were great.
		We got time.
		So here's how I met Brett.
		Brett, Eric Cantor was the congressman down there.
		Our family, because we knew the Blotley family at Blotley's Funeral Home, and Eric was the driver, the body man, for Congressman Blotley, and they were from our neighborhood.
		Everybody knew the Cantors, and Eric, as a kid, was a great guy.
		It's a perfect example of a great young man that goes to D.C.
		and gets controlled.
		All of a sudden, the apparatus gets there, and they're saying, you're going to do this and do that, and the swamp takes over.
		So, Ron Maxwell, this is in the Tea Party years, Ron Maxwell says, we gotta take out Cantor.
		And I said, brother, there's never been a city majority leader in the history of the republic that's ever been taken out, ever.
		He goes, no, no, no, I think we can do a Tea Party.
		So he calls me and says, I got the guy.
		I go, OK, tell me about it.
		And he goes, he's fantastic.
		He's amazing.
		I said, what's his job?
		He goes, he's a professor.
		I said, I'm hanging up.
unidentified		He goes, no, no, no, no, no, no.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		He's an economics professor.
		I said, OK, I'm going to slam down the phone.
		He goes, no, no, no, no.
		He's at a great school, and everybody loves it.
		I go, what?
		He's Randolph-Macon.
		Randolph-Macon, not bad.
		I said, hey, you've got to take him.
		So he came up and saw me and I said, this is, this is, I said, we can work with this.
		This is good.
		This is a good guy.
		And so we had Laura Ingraham's radio show.
		We had Julia Hahn, who was right out of, she was the Natalie Winters of her day.
		She was 19 years old at the University of Chicago, was the producer for Laura Ingraham.
		We had Breitbart Radio, which was only on Sunday nights.
		And this guy was literally a co-host for six months.
		And I remember the day that he won.
		The Fox guys are calling us up and saying, who's this guy, Brit?
		By the way, in a blowout win, that's how he took over.
		And from the day he took over, the day he took over, He was the number one target to get rid of, right?
		Because you wouldn't play ball, just like Bob Good and just like the Freedom Caucus.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Alright, gotta pry that microphone out of Bannon's hands, man.
		Give Steve a round of applause for making his way down here to support Bob Good.
		Steve Bannon never gets a shout out.
unidentified		He's got all that Catholic guilt bundled up in him.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		He doesn't like being applauded, but today we applaud him.
		These are the half the Dave Brat Brigades out here, too, from the 7th, back before they tore it up.
		Great to be out here supporting my good friend Bob Good.
		I just got one question for you.
		It's got three sub points, because it's a good lecture, right?
		If it's a Presbyterian sermon, it's got three points.
		The question is, why in the world would you ever want to replace a congressman who's getting an A-plus across the board on everything?
		Right?
		That's the question, and I haven't heard even a partial answer to that question.
		Right?
		So what did President Trump set up years ago?
		Right?
		He had it in his head way back, if you go back and look at him.
		But there's three points that Bannon covers on The War Room every single day, over and over and over.
		And Bob Good and the Freedom Caucus are the only people that fight on these three issues.
		And what are they?
		One is the $7 trillion budget that just funded the CIA and the FBI and the woke military and all of it.
		Right?
		And the Freedom Caucus is fighting hard, getting personal about it, because it will ruin the country.
		For real, it's ruining the country.
		And so, Bob Good has made commitments.
		I haven't heard crickets from anybody else running for this seat on that issue.
		Number two, President Trump go four years ago.
		How many endless wars were we in back in four years ago?
		Zero.
		Now, again, under the Einsteins up there in the swamp, we're engaged in four wars all over the world, trillions of dollars.
		As Steve says, if you park those ten trillions of dollars for the wars in our inner cities, what would this country look like?
		Right?
		You could turn this country around, regenerate growth like Bob's talking about.
		And Bob, once again, A+, stands up.
		And no, no money to Ukraine until we shut our border.
		Issue number three, right?
		Issue number three.
		Probably President Trump's signature issue.
		I ran on it.
		We clobbered Canner on that issue, right?
		And it's the border invasion.
		Back then it was bad enough, right?
		It was a million, now it's 14 million, total of 30 million, etc.
		And this is why the Freedom Caucus, we keep bringing it up, but can you think of anyone outside of the Freedom Caucus that's fighting on these three issues?
		These are President Trump's signature issues.
		They're on the war room every day.
		These are the signature war room issues every single day.
		The Freedom Caucus is doing it.
		No one else in Congress is doing it.
		Bob's the leader of the Freedom Caucus.
		We've got to have him back.
		And I won with no money, right?
		And so in closing, the final argument You're not getting off that easy.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hang on, hang on, hang on.
		No, I want to talk about money for a second.
		They found out, because Eric Cantor was not even down in the district on the day of voting.
		They called him from the office and he had to drive down, had to get his driver and bring him down.
		Eric Cantor spent at the Steakhouse Bobby Vans.
		Uh, near the Treasury, he spent, I think, $150,000.
		More than I did.
		More than Brad had raised, because of the whole entire campaign.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, no, that's right.
		That's the money.
		And so now, on the challenge to Bob, follow the money.
		Where's the money coming from?
		And you think that money's free, without obligations?
		Are you kidding me?
		You know what's coming, right?
		And if, just in general, if someone, if a candidate can't commit to the issues ahead of time, which is not happening, what are they going to do when they get there?
		Holy Moses!
		It's so bad.
unidentified		Alright, let me close with two short little stories.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		I was so poor.
		I was so poor, they kicked me off.
		I was a liberal arts professor at Randy Mac.
		It was a great job.
		But compared to the fat cats up there, I was poor.
		Didn't have the money, whatever.
		They wouldn't put me on any money committees.
		They kicked me out of everything.
		The leadership would not give me a dollar.
		They gave the most liberal members of our caucus $30 million to run in Illinois, San Fran, $30 million per race.
		Me, zero.
		And I didn't even care about that.
		The only thing that got my ire was when John Boehner kicked me out of the members' dining room.
		For real.
		I show up one day and they say, you cannot go in there, sir.
		You gotta be kidding me.
		One more money, short little story.
		Paul Ryan, me and Gary Palmer and a couple other good guys go in there and say, hey, we found, Mr. Speaker, we found we're paying $40 billion to dead people.
		Does it seem reasonable to you we could save the $40 billion we're paying to dead people?
		And he goes, let me check on that.
		I'm like, sir, with all respect, I think you're the speaker.
		It's up to him, right?
		And so, believe it or not, it's $40 billion if there's a rounding error, right?
		I mean, it's not even a .001, right?
		$40 billion is nothing.
		Comes back, says, no!
		The answer's no!
		We can't save the $40 billion.
		We're paying the dead people and shove it toward the deficit or something, right?
		And this, I'm just telling you this because this really does pack a punch.
		There's a lot of information in this one little story.
		And so, why is that?
		It's because that $40 billion is already there, right?
		It's already up there in the giant Excel spreadsheet in the sky, I used to call it, right?
		That $40 billion is up there.
		It's come in, and in order to take that $40 billion and put it toward the deficit, they're going to have to take it from...
		And then I come home to all you rowdies, and all my tea party friends, and get that fire lit again, people!
		Get it lit!
		Let's go!
unidentified		It's time!
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		And then after I tell the $40 billion story, all you got in effing economics, because you say, Dave, you got to balance the budget.
		Put in a balanced budget amendment.
		I just told you we can't save $40 billion, and you want me to save $2 trillion now?
		To balance the budget would be $2 trillion cut.
		You with me on that?
		That's a powerful little story.
		All that is just a way of saying, he's the point man in the Freedom Caucus, that's the tip of the spear, and we gotta get Bob good.
		And this will not only help Bob, it'll help President Trump, and it'll save this country, and that's why we're here.
		And thank God for this man, he does it every day.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		No, no, you're gonna stay right here.
		Hold it, Brad's gonna be up here.
		Hang on, so Bob, take those three things he ran out as As President Trump's three most important things and walk us through the Freedom Caucus's plan to help President Trump solve those problems.
unidentified		Well, we need to build some muscle memory now on the spending side of it because we're approaching the end of the fiscal year on September 30, when we're supposed to again pass 12 appropriation bills.
		I kind of think what we ought to do is pass 12 Republican bills that reflect Republican priorities that cut the spending That eliminate the LGBTQ transgender funding, that eliminate abortion funding, that eliminate the climate funding, that eliminate the diversity, equity and inclusion, that eliminate the CRT, change the policies, cut our spending and send them to the Senate and let the Senate choose between passing our bills or shutting down the government.
		Instead, we can have no more of this When we pass out of the House what we know the Senate will take and the President will sign because we cannot disrupt the very government that we complain about.
		We can't stop the very policies we campaign against.
		Gosh, we cannot have the government have a pause and then 15% of non-essential operations that actually is paused when there's a government shutdown.
		It doesn't matter what you believe and what you stand for unless you're willing to fight for it, to take risks and to suffer consequences.
		See, Bannon knows something about that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.
		Let's take a vote right here.
		If 34 days before the election, at midnight on the 30th, if they have not passed the Republican single-subject appropriations bills, do you believe we should shut down the government?
		Any question about that?
		And we can have a national referendum in front of all the American people and the American people will finally find out how they're getting screwed.
		This is how inflation, this is why your lives suck.
		Federal spending is not a benefit.
		Federal spending in 99% of the cases is nothing but bondage and enslavement.
		And as soon as people... That's what we ought to do.
		Will you lead that charge right now?
		Can we lead it?
		On 30th of September, shut the whole thing down.
unidentified		Absolutely.
		What's happening... Too many Republicans...
		Too many Republicans are afraid to have a fight.
		They're afraid to have a shutdown.
		Their priority is to get re-elected so they can stay in office.
		However, if we were to actually have a shutdown fight over the border, or we were to have a shutdown fight over the spending, after you guys woke up from fainting because we were actually fighting for you, you'd rally behind us and you'd drive us on to the greatest victory the Republican Party's ever had on November 5th, because somebody was finally fighting for you and doing what they said they would do.
		Shut it down!
		Shut it down!
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		You think in Washington they're gonna hear you when you sit there and go, we're tired of the games, we're tired of the nonsense, your math makes no sense, Bob Goode and the Freedom Caucus have come up with the plan we thought we agreed to in January 2023, right?
		And by the way, that's the one thing they never want to do.
		They never want to have those single-subject appropriations bills, because that's where you see where the games are.
		Remember, for those of you that sat up in the middle of the night and watched the amendments process, think of how many folks voted against some practical amendments taking $40 billion out here, $30 billion out here.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		The whole thing is a joke.
		This country is... I should have opened.
		This country is given to us by God.
		Haven't spent enough on that.
		Bob Good, I knew him at Liberty for years, and this man believes in God Almighty and God's work.
		And God gave us this country and now we're ruining it, right?
		So there's many things that are much more important than the economics, but the economics are a signal, right?
		You can see it points toward what do we value.
		Do we value the kids?
		Do we value the 500,000 dead in Ukraine?
		Right?
		Is this our values?
		Is this what this country believes in?
		It is not what we believe in.
		And we're funding all of that.
		And it's easy sometimes to point at China and big tech and all the bad guys, but part of this, the revolution, has to start here when we look in the mirror every morning, right?
		We can do a lot with the church, with the politics, With the kids, we can get a lot of the job done if we do it, right?
		So it's action, and you all help me, right?
		With no money, I send out like an email, right?
		A page, and you all shove that thing out to your entire list, not to a few buddies.
		You sent that email out to your entire list.
		You got to do that for Bob.
		Bob, take the best stuff you find, that you love, that stirs your emotions, because that's a signal, right?
		And then you send that out to your entire list, and you say, hey, will you please shoot this out to all your lists?
		And I think Bob's going to win, but you never run like you're going to win, right?
		You run like you're 30 behind, and that's, go do it.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		He's gonna win, but it's how big he's gonna win, that's what we gotta run through.
		We need to send a signal to the swamp.
		Kevin McCarthy, Kevin McCarthy's got to break his pick here in Virginia on the 18th.
		He's going after Eli Crane, he's going after all the good guys, right?
		All the people that stood in the breach, went against the big money, and you don't understand the pressure.
		Tell us some of the pressure you got when you stood up.
		I mean, behind the scenes deals, the pressure they're doing, kicking you out.
		By the way, if the War Room was around, would Boehner kick him out of the dining room?
		We ran Boehner out of town, remember?
		We ran Boehner out of town, right?
		The first time we did the vacate the chair.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		It was good.
		I forgot to crack my joke when I came up here.
		I didn't know I was coming to a Johnny Cash convention here, right?
		I was like, Bob, I usually rely on Bob and the red uniform and whatever, the tie.
		And then I knew what I was getting with him.
		I know.
		This guy's loyal.
		Look at him.
		Look at that brat, man.
		This man's A+.
		Yeah, what's Trump's new phrase?
		Too big to rig.
		That's how you stop it.
		You send out all your lists and we'll blow this thing wide open.
		In the whole country, on the war room, everybody out there do it.
		Spread his platform.
		When people hear his platform, and it's the same as Bob's platform, but that changes people's hearts and minds, right?
		And they want to save this country.
		The African-Americans are all coming our way.
		The Hispanics are coming our way.
		The young kids are coming our way.
		Everybody's coming our way because we love everybody and we're fighting.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Because two-thirds of the nation is MAGA.
		They're waking up to that because it's just common sense.
		It's just decency.
		You people can't work any harder.
		You just want the government out of your lives to raise your families and not get us in a bunch of wars.
		Right?
		It's not that complicated.
		That's why people are coming to us.
		That's why Hispanics are coming to us.
		African-American men.
		Asian-Americans, they're all coming to the Trump movement.
		Why?
		Because it is the American movement.
		We put America first, but as importantly, we put American citizens first.
		Okay, Captain Bannon here.
		Captain Bannon!
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Captain Bannon!
maureen bannon ▲ ● ▼		So Congressman Bob Good is the tip of the sphere, like Dave Brat said earlier,
		and it's going to take not only everyone here, but you have to get your families, your friends, anyone not here, out to
		vote.
		There's 11 days until the primary.
		You have to get them.
		If you have to encourage, say, Guys, get to the polls.
unidentified		Vote.
maureen bannon ▲ ● ▼		It's going to take everyone to get him across the finish line.
		So it can't just be you guys.
		It has to be everyone you know in order to get Congressman Bob Good across the finish line.
		And we need him back in Congress.
unidentified		Thank you so very much.
		If I may, you know, Washington is designed to keep you from making a difference.
		Washington is designed to maintain the status quo because it's working for them when it ain't working for you.
		And when I first got there, I can remember I was in a Republican conference meeting.
		Congressman Bratton knows all about that.
		We have like a weekly meeting of the 200 and whatever Republicans.
		And I was fighting against earmarks or something like that.
		The Republican Party ought not to be doing earmarks.
		And a committee chair, now guess how you get to be a committee chair?
		It's not like the Freedom Caucus.
		The Freedom Caucus, we actually, the members, choose the chairman of the Freedom Caucus.
		But the committees, they're not chosen by the members.
		The party chooses it based on, number one, you gotta raise a bunch of money for the party.
		Number two, you gotta do what the party tells you to do, not what your constituents want you to do, not what's right, not what honors the Constitution.
		And then number three, you gotta be an established and moderate rhino.
		That's how you get to be a chairman of a committee.
		Well, this was a chairman of a committee, and I was fighting for change, arguing for something, and this guy gets up and he says, I've been here 30 years!
		What we're doing's working!
		And you're coming... And I went back to the mic and I said, by what standard of measurement is anything we're doing here working?
		And that's what Washington's about.
		They're trying to stop you and keep you from making a difference.
		And as President Trump likes to say, my race, I'm standing between you and them.
		What they're trying to do is, you come to D.C., you fight the status quo, you take on the swamp, you try to make a difference, you go back and you tell your district what they're doing to you, and we will take you out.
		We will spend millions of dollars to make an example of you so that others won't try to do what you've done.
		And that's why we've all got to come together.
		We've all got to do everything that it takes to win this race.
		And if the people vote, if the people turn out and show up, we will absolutely win this race.
		Thank you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Come here, girl.
		Now hold it, Brett.
		Come here too, Brett.
		When Brad's sitting there saying he was a professor at Randolph-Macon, a liberal arts professor, is that, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't that the first job you actually ever had?
		He's a tennis pro.
unidentified		I grew up in a town of 10,000 people.
		I was 14.
		I ain't no preppy.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		I ain't no yuppie preppy.
unidentified		I worked up there for six weeks.
unidentified		I was waiting for a sample.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		How's that?
		Does that date us?
		That David is my restaurant.
unidentified		I'm the busboy.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		I work the whole way up.
		He thinks I got pretty hair or something and I can just play tennis.
		He's always getting on my case.
		Yeah.
		No, I know.
unidentified		Pretty hair, you wear a hat.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Mo, is being my daughter the hardest job in America?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Let's hear it for his West Point daughter.
unidentified		I'm here for Shane Harder.
maureen bannon ▲ ● ▼		Yeah!
		I mean what, what West Point was pretty hard,
		but what West Point has become is a disgrace.
		grace.
unidentified		Yeah.
maureen bannon ▲ ● ▼		What the military is turning into.
		This is not the military that I was in.
		You know, I got out in 2019.
		This is not the same military I was in.
		And it's very, very hard to watch.
		And Congressman Bob Good knows that it's not the military that it was back then and is fighting to make it the same as it was, because that's what worked.
		We should be focused on war fighting, not gender theory and pronouns.
		Because if China and Russia come, what are we going to do?
		Are we going to say, I'm sorry, I can't fight.
		You didn't address me by the right pronouns.
		I'm sorry.
		I can't do it.
		Or I'm not wearing the right uniform.
		You know, it's ridiculous what this military has come to, but no.
		West Point was hard.
		Being your daughter is not hard.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Hey, I got... I'm gonna give Bob a quiz in public.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Bob, come on over here.
unidentified		This is the professor.
		Now, he gave me an A-plus earlier.
		I don't think there should be another quiz.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		That's what I mean.
		You can feel full confidence here, right?
		So, this is what the other candidates will not say.
		Would you go on YouTube and sign a pledge with yourself signing, I will not vote for another two trillion dollar deficit?
		Would you go on YouTube and sign your name in public now ahead of time?
unidentified		Yes.
		Yes.
		I've already voted against it a bunch of times.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I know.
		So it's already, right?
		But no candidate will do this.
		This is what's shocking about this country.
		Would you go out on YouTube and sign in public a document that says, I will not fund another dollar that expands the border invasion?
unidentified		Absolutely.
unidentified		You know, I pledged last year not to fund the government without the border security, and I've voted against every spending bill since then.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Number three, will you go out on the record, sign your name and a pledge, I will not vote for any more Ukraine funding or any other endless wars unless they go through a War Powers Act and go through the proper, up through the presidency and through the Congress where it belongs.
unidentified		What he said, and also that we don't borrow it.
		We can't borrow it from our kids and our grandkids.
		And we shouldn't throw nine and a half billion dollars to fund Hamas when we're giving support to Israel.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Because of him, I get to talk to a lot of candidates these days around the country.
		I put that test to about 40 people this year.
		None of them will say yes to that test in public.
		Right?
		And you just got a guy on camera that just said, I will.
		That's what sets him apart and makes him special.
		And that's why he's going back up.
unidentified		Thank you, Dave.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Let's talk about it.
		What is the problem?
		What causes that?
		Because people, when they're in these small towns, they think they're sending good people there.
		Just like Cantor.
		What is it about the system, because we've got to break the system, right?
		What is it about the system that causes good men and women not to be able to look in that camera and say, I'm not going to fund two trillion dollar deficits.
		Right?
		I'm not going to continue to finance the border invasion.
		I'm not going to worry about the Russian-speaking eastern border of these two Slavic entities before I shut our border.
		What is it about the system that takes good people and turns them into gutless, feckless, spineless rhinos?
unidentified		Well, when I was first running back in 2020, and Dave knows that when you run for Congress, you get a lot of free advice on everything, and I got told, hey, they're all corrupt, they're all crooked, you can't trust one of them, they're all just terrible.
		You know, if you want a friend, get a dog kind of a thing.
		So I went to DC with the lowest of expectations.
		And I was still disappointed.
		No, actually, I was actually encouraged.
		I knew I wanted to join the Freedom Caucus, and I've got a couple of dozen friends who do have courage, who put it all on the line.
		They're there for the right reasons.
		And one of the things I say to the other 200 Republicans, I'll say to them, we will never save the country until it becomes more important to us to leave here having made a difference, Then it is to see how long we can stay.
		At the end of the day, most of them, their priority is to see how long they can stay.
		And they tell themselves, well, I can't do the right things, I can't do the tough things, because I might not get re-elected, so that I can keep on doing not the right things, and not the, you know, the tough things.
		For what?
		Why, how do you put your head on your pillow at night, and, and go to, and, and, and, and, and you're talking to your maker, When you know you're not there for the right reasons doing the right things.
		I think they tell themselves, we'll fight next time, we'll fight tomorrow.
		Then the system tells them, you know what?
		I know your constituents don't want you to vote for this bill.
		I know you said you wouldn't fund the border invasion.
		I know you said you wouldn't vote to increase spending.
		I know you wouldn't vote to keep the Pelosi-Biden-Schumer policies in place.
		But I tell you what, vote for it this time.
		And here's what we'll do.
		We'll spend money in your district to make sure you get re-elected.
		We'll come and campaign for you in your district to make sure you get re-elected.
		And we'll help you lie to your constituents about what was in the bill and make it sound good.
		And the reason why they hate people like Dave Bratton, they hate the Freedom Caucus, is because we name and shame.
		We tell them about what they voted for.
		We tell them who the Republicans are that let them down.
		And they don't like it and they hate us for it.
		So, the truth is, some of them just really don't want to do Republican stuff.
		And I think if you get elected as a Republican, you ought to actually do Republican stuff when you get to Washington.
		Some of them just don't want to do it.
		Some of them are afraid to do it.
		They're afraid of the consequence.
		Some of them are afraid because they want to get to the higher, they want to become a committee chair, or they want to get on the money committee, where you get the money for being on that committee.
		They didn't put me on any money committees.
		The budget committee doesn't get any money.
		The education committee doesn't get any money.
		But, so, the system does change you.
		But part of it, I think about Daniel.
		Daniel said, Daniel, when he went to Babylon, he had purposed in his heart that he would please the Lord and not please the king of Babylon.
		He knew who he was when he went there.
		He knew what he stood for when he went there.
		And he took a stand, and he stood alone, and he influenced Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
		And they stood even without him when they were cast into the fiery furnace because they knew whose they were, as Patti Lyman said earlier.
		That's what it's about.
		It's about knowing who you are, why you're there, who you're there for, what you stand for.
		And I've got to my right here, your left, my wife of nearly 36 years, and two of my children are over here.
		They're grown now, and I've got a couple of grandchildren here, and a daughter-in-law, and...
		I've got one son, one daughter, one daughter-in-law, and three grandchildren, no, two grandchildren over there, Tracy, to make sure.
		But I want to be able to look them in the eye, and they know that when I come back home from D.C., that I did what I told them I would do.
		And when I leave D.C., and I hope it's at least a couple years longer, I hope you're all going to keep me a couple years longer, I'm going to leave Washington, D.C.
		One of my prayers is, Lord, help me to be more concerned about offending you than I am about offending them.
		Help me to be more concerned.
		About not offending you by what I don't say than I am about offending others by what I do say.
		You know, I got asked about it this week at a forum, because I said on the House floor something I've said so many times, and really when you break it down, this is what it's about.
		Almost everything that plagues our country, that plagues our society, and plagues our culture, is a failure to follow God's design for morality, For marriage and the family.
		Now, how many of us have imperfect families and imperfect pasts?
		Life gets messy.
		And the left, they get so angry.
		Oh, that's hateful!
		No, but God knew what he was doing, the foundation of the family, the principles that are in his word.
		And so that's my guiding principle.
		That's my true north.
		I'm thankful to have a couple of dozen warriors like the Dave Brats of the world fighting along beside me because we help influence those other Republicans.
		But as my friend Matt Gaetz likes to say, our friend Matt Gaetz, you can't change Washington with the people who are in Washington.
	So that's why we've got to replace them.
	And I put it on the line too in some of these races, Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, I'm trying to help re-elect and elect courageous conservative warriors around the country so that we have more reinforcements in Washington.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We got a couple of minutes left, and here's what I like to do is, there's too much burden on President Trump's shoulders, right?
		This guy's fighting everybody.
		The deep state, he's fighting everybody, right?
		So what ought to happen is we got to get some stuff done between now and then, and one thing we have to get done is to stop the de-Trumpification that's going on at Capitol Hill right now.
		Remember, now to November 5, we got to fight.
		November 5, To the 20th, and by the way, tomorrow morning we'll have McGinley on exactly on your question about the steel.
		Because it's got to be answered.
		And the answer's quite imperfect right now.
		It's going to get better, but quite imperfect.
		But, starting on the 20th, when he takes his hand off the King James Bible, and we're back in power, those first hundred days are everything.
		On Capitol Hill right now, you know this.
		They're working non-stop because they know Trump's coming back to de-Trumpify everything out there.
		Bob Good, how do we take the burden off President Trump right now to make sure that he's got a runway that he can really hit it when he gets back in?
unidentified		A couple of things they're going to try to do, and you watch this.
		They're going to try to fund the government for another year from October 1 to September 30 of next year.
		And they're going to say that they're trying to help the president, that we're going to clean out the barn for him, we're going to clear the deck, so he doesn't come in in his first quarter and have to worry about the funding of the government because what they don't want to do is allow President Trump and a Republican Senate, I hope led by Rick Scott, and a new Republican House majority, have us fund the government with the Republican priorities on a policy standpoint.
		But also taking steps towards balancing the budget and eliminating the deficit.
		They don't want to allow us to do that.
		So you're going to see just what happened two years ago when Mitch McConnell got together with Chuck Schumer and they did it with that Christmas omnibus two years ago.
		They're going to try to do that again.
		So that's the battle right now that we're going to have from a funding standpoint.
		The other thing that the Biden administration is trying to do is to make it harder to fire federal employees because, quite frankly, we could probably fire half of them and we wouldn't miss them.
		Do you know 80% of federal employees haven't come back to work in office since COVID?
		80% of them.
		But you know what?
		Some of them came back to protest having to work in person.
		They literally showed up in person to protest having to come back to work in person.
		So the Biden administration is trying to make it harder to fire federal employees before he gets out the door because he knows President Trump's going to come in and he's going to clean house and he's going to bring a reckoning because the deep state is embedded in all those departments and those agencies.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hang on, hang on, hang on.
		They're also trying to make sure he can't cut funding in Ukraine, he can't take sanctions off Russia, he wants to negotiate on every aspect.
		Either the border, the spending, the border, and the forever wars.
		They're trying to de-Trumpify right now.
		What can you do to take leadership and make sure that President Trump has a Trump second term, not an Obama-Biden first year of a second term?
unidentified		Yeah, it's all about... There's one of two things that are going to happen to save the country when it comes to the Congress.
		It's either the people in Congress grow courage and show unprecedented courage and resolve to do what we told you we would do.
		We get all Republicans to do that.
		We don't need one Democrat vote to do that because we can do it out of the House and just say no to the Senate and make the Senate cave for once instead of the Republican House cave.
		If we fund the government implementing the priorities that we're talking about and eliminating the stuff that we run against and we campaign against, it's got to be more than just campaign talking points and slogans, right?
		It's got to be action behind.
		If we do that and we fund the government by September 30, so therefore we're funding it for the next year with our priorities, then it's the Democrats in the Senate who choose to shut down the government.
		They want to shut down the government.
		God bless them.
		Shut it down.
		We don't care.
		And that's what they don't understand.
		They're addicted to government.
		They're addicted to spending.
		So that's a critical piece of it.
		It's the funding of the government.
		I'll tell you one other thing that ties into what Steve was just talking about.
		The WHO.
		Right now, right now, the Biden administration, this is the most important, least talked about issue.
		The Biden administration is trying to surrender our national sovereignty to the WHO, which is an extension of the UN, which is a tool of the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, and they want to surrender the WHO, our sovereignty, when it comes to the next health pandemic.
		They could declare a health emergency.
		They could declare a climate emergency.
		They could declare a poverty emergency.
		They could declare a gun emergency.
		What do they think is a gun violence emergency?
		And then we would have to comply with what the WHO says the Biden administration is trying to put us under the WHO.
		We shouldn't do it anyway, but if we were going to do it, obviously, it ought to be a Senate treaty where senators have to go on the record whether or not to vote for that.
		That's happening right now.
dave brat ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, Bob, the Congress can still put pressure, if you guys stick around and work over July and a bit of August, to put huge pressure on the budget to investigate where the money is being spent right now.
		Right, sometimes we think, well, it's too late to pass another budget deal, right, to put real pressure on these issues.
		But they have the power right now to subpoena and to investigate all the money that is being spent right now.
		They also have the power to put huge pressure on Nancy Pelosi's weaponized committee that's putting pressure on our friend Steve Bannon and put Peter Navarro in jail.
		And the Supreme Court needs a little nudge to get their timing straight on the President Trump issues when those come up.
		So how can you help Bob do that?
		I'm not seeing enough op-eds coming out of the Richmond Times dispatch from all you.
		Right?
		Start lighting it up.
		Support him.
		We got two weeks to go.
		Do your writing on issues that you're passionate about.
		Put pressure on these congressmen that are not supporting Bob Good.
		Right?
		We still have time to put tremendous pressure.
		To bail out the people who are... The lawfare, it's unbearable, right?
		What they're doing to patriots around the country... New headlines today, right?
		Patriots are being attacked around the country today.
		I could go through about five.
		The federal law enforcement come up, boom.
unidentified		Think about what he did.
		What if we just said, we're not going to give the Department of Injustice any money until they end and reverse all this lawfare against our patriots.
		What if we just said that?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We got about two minutes left, and I want to tell you, not just the Lintel TV and the feed, the feed that we're taking and putting up has over 20,000 people watching this right now.
		You know why?
		You know why?
		I want to thank you so much.
		You know why?
		It's Bob Good, but what Bob Good stands for, which is you.
		Remember, on the 18th of June, Kevin McCarthy's Revenge Tour has to end right here!
		You've got to send a message to Kevin McCarthy and all those donors that are out to get Eli Crane and out to get Matt Gaetz and Bob Good and the backbone that got us at least a little bit we got.
		I'm going to turn it over.
		Brother Gaetz, you finish.
		You've got about two minutes.
unidentified		Hey, I've been called a lot of bad things since I ran.
		That was one of the good things I've been called.
		No pun intended.
		Matt Gaetz loves the country.
		He is one of the most talented, fierce warriors in Washington.
		We're all jealous of him.
		You know, some people are really smart and some people are really talented.
		He's both.
		That's not fair, I think.
		But, hey, thank you for the privilege of representing you in Washington.
		You know, I'm not entitled to this.
		It doesn't belong to me.
		You gave me a two-year contract about a year and a half ago, and I've done my best to live up to the trust that you've placed in me.
		I know I went there for the right reasons.
		I know I fought for the right things.
		I stand behind everything I've done and said from when Tracy and I first answered that call, when others came and
		asked us to run for office.
		Very different than my opponent.
		I've run for two things in my life, county supervisor in Campbell County, because other people came when I was 50 years old and asked me to run for county supervisor.
		And Tracy and I said, let's find somebody else.
		We'll pray about finding somebody else.
		And we couldn't.
		And then I didn't run again.
		I term limited myself and didn't run again.
		I thought I was done.
		And then five years later, when I was 55 years old, people came to me and asked me to run for Congress.
		And Tracy and I tried to find somebody else to do it.
		She didn't want me to.
		We knew it was going to turn life upside down.
		But we felt like the Lord was giving us the peace about doing, so I quit my job.
		For a year, we didn't have any income as we pursued what we believed the Lord was calling us to do, and all the levels of power in Washington were against us.
		We had nobody of importance endorsing us, except the people in the 5th District.
		So I'm thankful for the trust that you've placed in me.
		I don't take it for granted.
		I don't feel entitled to it.
		But I know that I've done what I told you I would do.
		I know I fought for the right things.
		I fought and stood for the right things.
		I tell you what, if I was looking out for Bob Goode, I would do very differently in Washington than I've done over these past three and a half years.
		But thank you for letting me do it.
		Thank you for your prayers.
		Bob Goode!
		Thank you for your courage.
		Thank you for your support.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, we're gonna end it!
		We're gonna end it!
		We're gonna end it!
		With the patron hero that's gonna win the Commonwealth of Virginia on the 5th of November this year, Donald J. Trump.
unidentified		Trump!
