katy tur ▲ ● ▼		A Virginia race that's going to tell us a lot about how exactly, how loyal exactly, a person needs to be to Donald Trump in the Republican Party to exist in the Republican Party as it's currently made up.
		Well, that race still has not been called.
		It is so close.
		Congressman Bob Good, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, is statistically tied, you
		can see, with State Senator John McGuire, a Trump-backed candidate who was at the Stop
		the Steal rally ahead of the insurrection.
		Joining us now, NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Ali Vitale.
		So this is the head of the House Freedom Caucus.
		As Republican, as conservative, as they come.
		As pre-MAGA, if you will, as they come.
		And he is, he's, you know, face-to-face tied with this guy, McGuire, who's a state senator
		and who was at the Stop the Steal rally.
		Explain why this matters, why we're watching this race so closely.
unidentified		Well, because you and I were talking about this race yesterday, Katie.
		I went to the district on Friday.
		It's been one that's on our radars for a while, because it says a lot about what a Trump endorsement means, what it means to have Kevin McCarthy play in a primary, and of course, what the sway on the electorate is there.
		When I talked to Congressman Bob Good and I went down to the district, he said nobody cares about Kevin McCarthy.
		Okay, maybe.
		I guess we're going to see.
		But everybody cares about a Trump endorsement.
		And what's so fascinating, and I love the frame you put on this, is the role that a Trump endorsement plays here and what it means to be sufficiently pro-Trump.
		Trump endorsed against Bob Goode in part because Goode endorsed Ron DeSantis back in the primary last year.
		Now we're going to see the level that a Trump endorsement has here because even if Maguire wins, and look at this screen, a 313 vote difference right now, even if Maguire pulls this out, This is not the kind of sway that Trump likes to say he has over an electorate.
		And frankly, in my conversations with my sources before vote counting began last night, the conventional wisdom seemed to be that Bob Good was in trouble and that this would be a pretty early night where John McGuire would just walk away the likely next congressman from Virginia's 5th district.
		That's not what happened, and it's certainly not what we're saying officially has happened, and they're within right now a 1% margin where one or both of these guys could say, hey, I want to do a recount.
		This race is not officially called yet, but we're waiting to see if a recount even is part of this equation.
katy tur ▲ ● ▼		All right, I've got a question for Charlie Dent, who's going to join us in a moment, about what it's going to mean for the primaries and then what it means for the general election, because that's where it's going to matter.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
		Pray for our enemies.
		Because we're going medieval on these people.
		I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people.
		The people have had a belly full of it.
		I know you don't like hearing that.
		I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
		It's going to happen.
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼		And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified		MAGA Media.
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼		I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified		Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved!
		It's Wednesday the 19th of June in the year of our Lord 2024.
		Okay, just so everybody understands and can think this through because the mainstream media is all flapper because they got to figure out How to make it look like Trump is getting weaker or MAGA split.
		None of that is true.
		None of that is true.
		And it's this in Virginia, you know, being a native of the Commonwealth, a son of Virginia.
		at Let me walk you through what happened.
		100%, 100% or 99.9999% of people that vote in their primary yesterday are Donald Trump supporters and Donald Trump voters and revere President Trump.
		As you know this show, we revere President Trump.
		We pride ourselves This audience and this platform has been the platform that has had his back from the very beginning.
		And we're not shy about saying on things we disagree with.
		What happened here, and Bob Good has been a very good head of the House Freedom Caucus, and this is why it's ironic that the CBO numbers and the $2 trillion deficit came out on the same day of this vote.
		Divine providence.
		God is sending us a message.
		Because he wanted to remind us, God in heaven wanted to remind us, of what Kevin McCarthy has done.
		So, Washington Post, New York Times, please, MSNBC, Katie Tur, all of you guys over there
		in the mainstream media, take note.
unidentified		Thank you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		In a 100% Trump primary, a 100% of Trump devotees, supporters, people that think the world of the President, donate to the President, go to the President's rallies, believe the President's policies, have the President's back, 50% of them voted against his endorsed candidate.
		That's it, pure and simple.
		Now, how did that happen?
		We have all types of allies on either side of the football.
		MTG, right, who's on this show a lot.
		I realize, you know, she's had some issues in back and has some issues in back and principally is about Kevin McCarthy, but hey, when she backs somebody, she backs them.
		So she's down there because good was one of the hard eight.
		I got that.
		John Fredericks, my brother John Fredericks.
		Maybe he did it for other reasons.
		Cha-ching.
		Maybe he did it for other reasons.
		Matt Gaetz and Eli Crane are with War Room.
		And I love going down to Palatine.
		And seeing those great folks down there.
		But remember, we started that rally by, in the first couple minutes, talking to everybody, please stand and support President Trump, 100% of the people.
		I think we had 300, 350 people in that burning heat.
		And at the end, we ended the rally with Trump, Trump, Trump.
		This was Kevin McCarthy.
		He's so toxic.
		He's so toxic.
		Please write this down.
		Take out number two pencils, MSNBC.
unidentified		He's, how do they pay these people?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Von Heer, I don't think Von Heer got this wrong.
		Von, come to the rest of you, some of your colleagues.
		How did you get this wrong?
		How do you get this wrong?
		He's so toxic that 50% of the most loyal Trump followers in the greatest state in the American South voted against him, his endorsement, and hated doing it.
		Because they understand what Kevin McCarthy did and what Kevin McCarthy did you saw in print yesterday with another two trillion dollar deficit.
		That Kevin McCarthy, remember this would not have happened.
		It was only supposed to be a one-year deal.
		Please take out your notebooks and look back to the spring of 2023.
		The war room never forgets.
		It was only supposed to be a one-year deal.
		McCarthy!
		McCarthy and Graves.
		And the little guy with the glasses, they brought up the second year of the deal.
		Why did they do it?
		Because they realized that the deficit would have come around this time, May or June, and guess what?
		We would have been talking about, hey, we gotta get, we gotta get, you gotta get, you gotta raise taxes on the wealthy, and the donors don't want that.
		They kicked the can past the, this election.
		Why?
		Because they don't want you to have control.
		Mr. President, MAG is not going to forget that.
		They got your back, but they're not going to forget McCarthy didn't have your back.
		And I'm going to play in a moment.
		We're going to segue to another topic, but it's the same.
		It's these other side of the same coin.
		And let's connect some dots.
		The president magnificently goes after Murdoch news today.
		And you know, nobody loves that better than me.
		Why is that?
		That's back to the 25, that's back when Trump first came down the escalator.
		Rupert Murdoch told him he wasn't going to run for president, told Ivanka that.
		No, he's not going to run.
		Oh yeah, he is going to.
		No, he's not going to run.
		Yeah, he is going to.
		No, he's not going to run.
		He came down the escalator on what, the 17th of June?
		The 15th of June?
		17th of June?
		of 2015, and what was it, 45 days later, approximately, they're in Vegas for the first thing, and Megyn Kelly tries to kneecap him.
		Tries to kneecap him.
		Who was the only people, virtually only people, in conservative media that had Trump's back?
		Breitbart.
		Executive chairman, Stephen K. Bannon.
		Lead national political reporter, Matt Boyle.
		Lead political reporter, the Tony Lee, a rooftop Korean, if there ever was one.
		I let him off the chain, and they backed Murdoch, and they backed Ailes down.
		So President Trump has got this, and he's coming at Paul Ryan like nobody's business, and man, it is magnificent.
		Mediaite's got it up as the lead story.
		President Trump had a truth social.
		Natalie Harp doing such a magnificent job over there.
		This thing's magnificent, and we're going to play the clip in a minute.
		But hello, Mr. President.
		Mr. President.
		Who's the acolyte of Paul Ryan?
		Who's his acolyte?
		Let me think.
		Hang on a second.
		Wait for it.
		Oh yeah, Kevin McCarthy.
		Yeah, I remember.
		I got this now.
		That's why you've got another of these Navy SEALs.
		Who was down campaigning for him?
	Of course, Ryan Zinke.
	How many great Navy SEALs do you have in Congress besides Eli Crane?
	Hmm, let me think about that for a second.
	Zero.
	Zero.
	They've gone Hollywood.
	They're woke.
	This is two sides of the same coin.
	So MSNBC, here's what happened in Virginia 5.
	And Virginia 5 is quite blessed.
	Not with just some of the most dedicated and patriotic people in this country.
	That have the great understanding of liberty and freedom as the revolutionary generation.
	Incredible.
	And it also happens to be, I believe, one of the most beautiful parts of this nation.
	It is truly like Eden.
	You can see the bountiful nature of this blessed country we have.
	In Virginia 5.
	And the people in that district are some of the nicest, best people in this country.
	And 100% on the Republican side, and it's a red district, Mr. President, they support you.
	The reason that you're, and this has nothing to do with Maguire, I mean some people say he's a squirrish or whatever, but it has nothing to do with Maguire.
	He's not relevant to this.
	I didn't hear really anything about him.
	It was about Kevin McCarthy.
	I think what Bob Good said, I think it was a little, not misquoted, I think he said it, he just didn't think it through.
	People did care about Kevin McCarthy.
	It's not that he could pull votes in.
	It's that he's toxic.
	Why is he toxic?
	He's not toxic because he's a pleasant person.
	I call him the pledge chairman.
	No, you had young guns.
	You had Eric Cantor, who's also from my hometown, and the Cantors are a very revered family.
	And Eric was the body man for Tom Blally, who was the Catholic, and part of the Blally family lived right in back of us.
	Over in the north side in Ginter Park, and the Blyleys are as good a family as you can get.
	And Congressman Tom Blyley, although not a fire breather, was a good man and kind of the traditional congressman back in that day.
	And Eric Cantor was his body man and his driver and came up through that.
	And people revered Eric Cantor until he went to D.C.
	and kind of got the, you know, got caught in the swamp.
	And it was Dave Bradford that beat him.
	And that wasn't an easy thing, because the Cantors are good people.
	Very good people.
	The family's a very good family down in Richmond.
	This was all about Kevin McCarthy.
	The reason it's going to take weeks to figure this out, and no, John Fredericks, it's not over.
	I know.
	I'm not saying when the last check clears... Fredericks, I love you, brother.
	Why don't we launch in Memphis?
	Let's get the down and dirty 730 and let's launch it.
	John Fredericks building that empire.
	Buildin' that empire.
	Somebody gotta pay up.
	Don't give me stink.
	My producers give me stink.
	He's a workin' man.
	Gotta pay out that debt somehow.
	Gotta de-lever.
	Too much leverage.
	MTG.
	She down there fightin'.
	We love MTG.
	It has nothing to do with MAGA.
	Has nothing to do with MAGA policies.
	Has nothing to do with President Trump.
	All those people.
	President Trump's biggest supporters.
	And still biggest supporters.
	It has to do with the politics that's over.
	Kevin McCarthy, with all that money and all that rocking around, beating his chest, got blown out by Nancy Mace.
	Blown out by... They tried to lower expectations in the last week or two, saying, well, we're just going to get to runoff.
	Blown out over, I think, 57% by Nancy Mace.
	And let's be brutally frank.
	This is a pure humiliation for Kevin McCarthy.
	A pure humiliation.
	And this is going to go on for weeks and weeks and weeks.
	And Bob Good should never give up.
	Count every vote, get in there, find out what McCarthy's got.
	I don't trust McCarthy's team as far as I can throw him.
	Stealing ballots, stealing votes.
	Hell yeah, they're bad as Democrats.
	Worse than Democrats.
	So people all get in there.
	And look, McGuire, whatever you are, don't be running around, popping around, skipping around, jumping in front of mics, saying you won.
	You didn't.
	Not yet.
	Short break, we're going to talk about the president and the Murdoch.
unidentified		These folks who also shared your same concerns about Donald Trump sort of said, all right, we're rallying around Donald Trump.
		You had said, though, that would not be the case with you.
		You had said that he's a populist and an authoritarian narcissist, that character is too important to me, and it's a job that requires the kind of character he just doesn't have.
		That's pretty strong.
		Yeah, that's the way I feel.
		I agree with that.
		I don't support Biden either.
		I think his policies are terrible.
		I hate the fact that I feel I've got to write in a Republican like I did the last time in 2020.
		I voted for him in 2016, hoping that there was going to be a different kind of person in office.
		And I do think character is a really important issue.
		If you put yourself above the Constitution, as he has done... But what happened?
		I think that makes you unfit for office.
		This is the whole January 6th thing?
		Uh, that's a part of it.
		I think it's a contribution of factors, but I think it really is just character at the end of the day.
		And the fact that if you're willing to put yourself above the Constitution, an oath you swear when you take office in federal office, whether it's president or a member of Congress, you swear an oath to the Constitution.
		And if you're willing to suborn it to yourself, I think that makes you unfit for office.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Not to his, not to himself.
		He was defending the Republic and defending the Constitution.
		We don't care if you vote Republican.
		We don't care.
		If you watch Fox News, you're supporting this.
		Why is he on the board of directors of a publicly traded company?
		Please tell me, in the history of Wall Street and fiduciary responsibility, has any board member ever come out and trashed a nominee of a party that they're supposedly a center-right news network.
		They're not center-right.
		That is old politics.
		This is neoliberal neocon.
		You heard he said, Cavuto, he's a populist and a narcissist.
		He's a populist and a narcissist.
		Can I get that cut again?
		Can you pull that when you tell me that's ready?
		He's a populist and a narcissist.
		He's a defender of the Constitution and President of the United States of America.
		And gave us three and a half years of peace and prosperity before being hit by a Chinese Communist Party bioweapon out of the Wuhan lab created by the People's Liberation Army and with an assist with Dr. Anthony Fauci.
		And I've got Natalie Winters joins me at six o'clock and we're going to break down the lies of Anthony Fauci, Mr. Fauci, at six.
		But if I can connect some dots here, Paul Ryan is in on the fix.
		Paul Ryan, why is there even, why is the Billy Bush weekend, why does the Access Hollywood weekend such a big deal?
		Why is it anything more than just, instead of a defining moment, why is it a defining moment instead of just normal course of business in a campaign and forget about it?
		Because with a couple of weeks to go and having closed the gap from being, I don't know, 10, 12, 14 points down, Trump was, we were in a dead heat and we were, we, and, and, and they abandoned us.
		The first one to abandon us was Paul Ryan.
		He couldn't wait to jump off the ship.
		Then Mitch McConnell.
		All of them that weekend.
		That weekend is a defining weekend.
		Who had Trump's back and who didn't?
		Who had Trump's back and who didn't?
		The 2016 election was, that's locker room talk, the country's in a collapse, a managed decline by Hillary Clinton and her gang.
		Merrick Garland had a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.
		That in and of itself is enough to back Trump.
		You got Neil Gorsuch instead of Merrick Garland.
		How would your life be if you had Merrick Garland versus Neil Gorsuch?
		And yes, Mayor Garland, every night when you pull those sheets up, mommy tucks you in.
		Just remember that Stephen K. Bannon had a small and tiny part in making sure that you're over the Justice Department getting abused by us every day instead of a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.
		Because if you're on the Supreme Court, unlike your left-wing colleagues and what you've done to expose them to assassinations, yes you have, yes you have, just like your FBI went down to Mar-a-Lago looking for trouble, you did nothing when the assassin came to Kavanaugh's house.
		You backed off and looked the other way.
		You would have had a lifetime appointment and we would have revered you.
		We don't go after the left-wing judges at all, ever.
		Paul Ryan.
		He walked away in 18 and wouldn't leave.
		Remember he announced he quit in like February as Speaker and didn't step aside.
		You had no momentum.
		You had no... He didn't.
		He didn't mind Pelosi taking over because he knew Pelosi would do the dirty work and impeach Trump.
		His hatred.
		This is the hatred.
		Of these standard stock, controlled opposition Republicans that have had control of this apparatus for 40 or 50 years.
		That hated Reagan.
		It's the Bush.
		Just like the Democrats are owned by families and factions, so is the old Republican Party.
		The Bushes being the biggest.
		The Bushes being the biggest.
		And I do disagree with President Trump every now and again.
		I do disagree with him about Joe Biden.
		Being the worst president in the history of the United States.
		I think Joe Biden is tied with two other people.
		I think there are three that are neck and neck.
		James Buchanan and George W. Bush.
		Clearly, the evidence is overwhelming.
		Overwhelming.
		Paul Ryan comes from that mindset.
		They've had control of this party and made a damn good living and got to go to cocktail parties and be invited on TV and people would pay attention to what they said and it was so important and these people are statesmen and Paul Ryan, man, he's got a workout.
	Remember he ran as vice president?
	Wow, what a workout he's got and 8% body fat and wears his hat backwards.
	He's one of those young guns and drinking energy drinks and good juices, green juice.
	Was it the PX90s doing a 90-minute workout and walking, I don't know, 400,000 steps a day?
	He's everything.
	He's great.
	Makes you read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged because he's a libertarian.
	He's a libertarian.
	Read Ayn Rand.
	Somebody would tell you to read Ayn Rand as your Atlas Shrugged.
	He's got the mentality of like a 14-year-old teenage girl in Russia.
	Oh, yeah, that would be Ayn Rand.
	Looking for Ubermensch, looking for Superman to save her.
	That's the goofball.
	That's the goofball philosophy in back of that novel.
	And anybody that hands it out to young adults, as an adult, shows me that you're about as deep as Ayn Rand.
	And if you don't think she could get her freak on, just read her biography.
	That's what you're dealing with.
	And he sits there all puffed up.
	He's not a man of character.
	What is your character, bro?
	What is your character?
	Every time I've seen you in combat, and I've seen you in combat a couple, three times, you cut and ran.
	You cut and ran on Billy Bush weekend.
	You cut and ran, then we came back around, we closed the gap.
	We're all over top of this, and we're going for the last weekend, and he, that gutless son of a... He calls up and says, no, I can't, I can't, Reince, I can't.
	Steve, Reince, what are you talking about?
	No, Steve, he can't do it because he lost Wisconsin as VP for Romney.
	And if he loses, if he comes and we lose again, he's finished as a national political figure.
	Steve, to Reince, he's not a national political figure.
	He is finished.
	What are you talking about?
	It has nothing to do with what happens here.
unidentified		These guys, they're so puffed up.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		It's the Ron DeSantis, Paul Ryan ticket.
		So we couldn't go.
		He said he wouldn't be on.
		He said in the last weekend in 2016, and we're closing, and Trump's doing, I don't know, 15 rallies a day.
		Who can do that?
		Superman.
		Who can do that?
		Only one person on earth.
		Donald Trump.
		These 10,000, 5,000.
		And he's talking for an hour with no prompt.
		Boom.
		Just giving it to him.
		Get on a plane and do it again.
		Paul Ryan waves us off and says, I'm not going to have Johnson go.
		So we don't go to Wisconsin.
		And we won.
		We were right and he was wrong.
		Doesn't even know a state.
		Oh no, we're down two or three points.
		You're gonna lose by two or three points?
		Uh, no, I think you're wrong.
		And here's how much I know about Wisconsin politics.
		Try zero.
		But you know what?
		I'm smarter than that guy.
unidentified		Because I was right and he was wrong.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		He's a dangerous guy.
		Because he's puffed up in self-importance and now that he's a nothing burger, he's still got to come in and put that dig in.
		Trump lacks character.
		Where's your character?
		You quit as Speaker but would not leave.
		You quit as Speaker and would not leave.
		Because you didn't mind when you left, you didn't want Somebody has to follow you as Speaker of the Republican.
		You wanted Nancy Pelosi to take over because you knew Nancy Pelosi would do the dirty work that you were too gutless to do.
		And that was to impeach Trump.
		Yep.
		That was your plan.
		It's pretty obvious.
		It's pretty obvious because Nancy Pelosi told everybody that's why they had that big turnout.
		They went all door-to-door in the hot summer of 2018 walking door-to-door.
		And what were those people doing when they were walking door-to-door?
		You got to come out and vote.
		We got to take the House because we're going to impeach Trump.
		There's no policy difference.
		We're going to impeach Trump.
		We're going to get rid of Orange Man bad.
		That was what they ran on.
		But Mr. President, the Young Guns DNA is all of a piece.
		It's all of a piece.
		That deal they cut, that Kevin McCarthy cut and allowed that we ran him out of town on a rail, and part of that rail was a guy named Bob Good.
		We ran him out of town on the rail.
		Why?
		Because he's handcuffing you.
		He's handcuffing Donald Trump in his second term.
		You think it's going to be easy to get your tax cuts?
		Sir, it is not.
		Are they necessary?
		Yes.
		Most of them.
		Is it going to be easy?
		It's not going to be easy because McCarthy detrumpified the second term.
		It's McCarthy's acolytes on Capitol Hill that are working against you and your program.
		It's McCarthy acolytes that sit there and go, he's a populist and a narcissist.
		He's a populist and a narcissist.
		Do I have that?
		Can I play that clip?
		Do I have enough time to play it?
		Let's play the clip.
unidentified		All right, now I know a lot of these folks who also shared your same concerns about Donald Trump have sort of said, all right, we're rallying around Donald Trump.
		You had said, though, that would not be the case with you.
		You had said that he's a populist and an authoritarian narcissist, that character is too important to me, and it's a job that requires the kind of character he just doesn't... Character is too important to me?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		You're a total and complete phony.
		And Murdoch ought to be sued by every shareholder out there to have you on the board and out there saying this.
		They ought to short the stock.
		You're disgusting and revolting.
		Short break.
		Back in the war room.
		For more Happy Talk, next.
unidentified		A lot of these folks who also shared your same concerns about Donald Trump sort of said, all right, we're rallying around Donald Trump.
		You had said, though, that would not be the case with you.
		You had said that he's a populist and an authoritarian narcissist, that character is too important to me, and it's a job that requires the kind of character he just doesn't have.
		That's pretty strong.
		Yeah, that's the way I feel.
		I agree with that.
		I don't support Biden either.
		I think his policies are terrible.
		I hate the fact that I feel I got to write in a Republican like I did the last time in 2020.
		I voted for him in 2016, hoping that there was going to be a different kind of person in office.
		And I do think character is a really important issue.
		If you put yourself above the Constitution... You think character is an important issue.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		You think character is an important issue.
		When have you ever stood up for anything in your life, sir?
		Give it to me.
		Have the Paul Ryan accolades.
		Tell me anything in your life.
		Give me a fight that you stood in the breach in.
		On Billy Bush weekend where they tried to smear him, you stood?
		No, you cut and ran.
		When we're coming into the close in 16, to stop the Clintons from taking over with Merrick Garland and the Supreme Court?
		Think about that for a second.
		It's all in the balance.
		That's the defining moment.
		In war, it comes down to a couple of minutes.
		That defines you forever.
		And in that moment, you showed your character.
		You ran.
		You ran and hid in Wisconsin.
		You would not have us come to Wisconsin, and you said, I will get Johnson, and it will be a humiliation.
		You can't come.
		That's character, bro.
		Let me give you character about 2018.
		You cut and ran on an individual who worked a tax cut, was trying to build a wall.
		They gave us peace and prosperity, you cut and ran.
		So please, Murdoch, Loughlin, James, any of you, Jesse Waters, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram, give it to me.
		Show me where the guy Paul Ryan has ever had any character when it mattered.
		When you're in the middle of a fight and you don't know how it's going to turn out.
		And it could go the other way on you.
		That's character in the defining moment.
		In the defining moment of his political life, every time there's a crisis, he runs.
		And you're going to have him sit there and lecture us about the character of a man who went back to Mar-a-Lago!
		When he could have retired and he turned around, understanding he was going to go to prison, and they were going to bankrupt him, and they were going to do everything to him, and he said, hell no.
		I'm coming back to fight for that republic.
		Well, that's a guy I will stand with.
		And the Murdochs are disgusting.
		And if you watch Fox, you're supporting it.
		Why is he not off the board of directors?
		Why is he there?
		To mock one of the greatest Americans in the history of this country.
		And yes, Donald John Trump has a couple of three flaws.
		He's not a perfect instrument, if you haven't noticed.
		But who is?
		And his imperfections only make him greater.
		Because this is not an era of normal politics.
		What are you missing?
		Why do you think Rachel Maddow, they're not sad and she doesn't cry when Paul Ryan is up there.
		That's what they want.
		They want to go back to the controlled opposition and just have the country taken.
		With those guys just whistling along and going to conferences and, you know, going out to, you know, Palm Springs and having a conference and we're going to talk about tax cuts and budgets as we approve the spending time and time and time again in the forever wars, time and time and time again.
		Don't take it from me.
		Let's read it from our beloved leader, our president.
		This is true social.
		And I quote, Nobody can ever trust Fox News, and I am one of them.
		With the weak and ineffective RINO, Paul Ryan, on its board of directors.
		He's a total lightweight, a failed and pathetic Speaker of the House, and a very disloyal person.
		Romney was bad, but Paul Ryan made him look worse.
		As a team, they never had a chance.
		Rupert and Lachlan, Get that dog off your board.
		You don't need him.
		All you need is Trump.
		Make America great again.
		This is the family with Paul Ryan on the board.
		This is the family.
		This is old man Murdoch, that demon.
		He sent an email out.
	They're going to make Trump a non-person.
	It's not that we, okay, we at Fox have a policy position and, you know, we disagree with, we don't disagree with anything Trump did in the White House.
	We loved all that and we really want the tax cuts and we love where the economy was and the stock market was, but we're going to make him a non-person.
	A non-person.
	A non-person.
	That's not a policy disagreement.
	Why did they say that?
	They hate you.
	Think the Murdochs are sitting there going, man, we really, really love our audience and we really care what MAGA's doing and we want to have MAGA's back and we want to support these folks.
	You think that?
	You think that?
	Hey, Fox, I'm waiting for the special on Paul Ryan, Profiles in Courage.
	Please, any of the nighttime hosts.
	You've got massive shows, huge audiences.
	Just send us anything.
	Do it on the show.
	Tweet it, text it.
	Do anything you want.
	I'd like to know... Paul Ryan and Neil Cavuto.
	Neil Cavuto.
	Neil Cavuto.
	Neil Cavuto, can you give me...
	Three examples of courage and character that Paul Ryan has ever shown anywhere.
	Please tell me.
	Oh, he went, remember Paul Ryan had that big transformation, he was going to go back and he went to a couple of black schools and that was supposed to be the great awakening of the new Abraham Lincoln.
	Because Paul Ryan was the future.
	Think about the Republican Party in 2012.
	In 2012, you had Mitt Romney, Mittens Romney, as the GOP presidential candidate.
	And Paul Ryan was the future.
	He was VP.
	They're going to win eight years with Mitt.
	Eight years.
	That's a 16-year run.
	Not bad with Paul Ryan.
	Think of where this country would be.
	Oh my God.
	Can you please show me?
	I can show you three where he bailed.
	I can show you three where he's a yellow belly coward.
	In the breach where you gotta stand in.
	And you don't know what way it's gonna go.
	You gotta stand in that breach and that moment to find you.
	I got three that I saw him.
	He's a gutless coward.
	PX 90 in all your workouts and you're 8% body fat.
	And your hat worn on backwards to show me that you're cool.
	Goofball.
	I think it was a Breitbart member.
	I think we showed that he got a wall around his.
	Oh, I won't go into those old days.
	Matt Boyle and Tony Lee and those guys picking on him.
	President's right.
	And we got them nervous.
	Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell never had them nervous.
	They love those guys.
	Half of MSNBC's staff is former Republicans.
	Tim Miller and those guys.
	They had bigger paychecks than they ever got in their life.
	They got more airtime than they ever got in their life.
	But we got them.
	Rachel Maddow said she's worried.
	McCabe has said you know why he's worried.
	We went through that today.
	But my favorite is Donnie Deutsch.
	The advertising marketing guy.
	Because he's got his fingers on the pulse.
	Let's play Donnie Deutsch.
	Donnie Deutsch is worried.
unidentified		And I guess... I'm listening to everything you're saying.
		Congratulations.
		And I'm just bringing it back to your Eric Holder segment.
		What's wrong with us that this man, that half his country, if you just watched 25 minutes of this show, you would go, this is a despicable human being.
		Forget anything else.
		It's just, and yet somehow, somehow, What's wrong with us?
		What is wrong with us, Nicole?
		okay with it. What does it say about us? I'm running out of things to denigrate Donald
		Trump about. I'm running out of things to talk about what a bad human being he is. You
		can just talk for nine hours. I'm not even going to list it.
		What's wrong with us? What is wrong with us, Nicole? How did we get here? I know I'm
		drifting off a little bit.
		I'm just getting worked up as I'm listening to this, just doing voice on The Apprentice.
		I love it.
		It's just a little, it's just a little slice of such an indecent, vulgar human being in every way.
		And you and I both know smart, educated people that are going to thumbs up with this.
		And it's just, what the hell happened to us?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Here's what happened to us.
		It's quite simple.
		A ruling class in this country decided that the country was theirs and not the citizens of this nation.
		And not the nation itself.
		That we would pass down this republic in better shape than it came to us.
		That's what every generation, that is the unbroken chain.
		The unbroken chain from the beginning of this experiment in the New Jerusalem.
		At the New Jerusalem.
		In an unbroken chain, it's been handed down generation after generation after generation.
		And even with someone like Buchanan, as bad as Buchanan and the people around him, that couldn't somehow figure out how to do this without ripping us apart with the Civil War, it gets passed down better.
		That's the American experience.
		But that doesn't come... Donnie Deutch, we understand that that has been broken.
		You now have a ruling clique, and we're 75% of the nation, and that's dawning on them.
		Look at the primal scream of Donnie Deutch.
		Look at Rachel Maddow.
		Look at Chris Hayes.
		Look at these people.
		Look at Joy Behar.
		They understand.
		Look at Mike Allen in Axios this morning.
		It's evident.
		They tried everything.
		They threw everything at us.
		Anti-democracy, you're fascist, everything like that in their coalition.
		Here's the thing.
		Half the coalition that they have is leaving them and hate them.
		And they're coming to us.
		We're not, what are we losing?
		We're losing a couple of Paul Ryans and Rupert Murdoch's foreigners and people who would sell this country out like Paul Ryan in the Mitt Romney's.
		That's who's not with us.
		That's marginalia.
		Who cares?
		The Democrats are losing a huge swath of their base, and they're coming our way, and they hate what they voted for and supported.
		They're awakening.
		What does Amber Rose get?
		It was propaganda.
		We're now doing our own research.
		She owns it.
		Our own research.
		Our own research.
		Of course, the credential class, all the Harvard types, Joanne Reed and those types.
		Because Joanne Reed went to Harvard.
		Amber Rose didn't go to Harvard.
		Oh, she's going to check all these internet sites, and she's going to check all this misinformation and disinformation.
		Well, hey, a couple of years into this, we'll take Brookings.
		We'll take the record of Brookings in the New York Times, and we'll match it up to War Room, and we'll see who the projections came right.
		And we'll show who understood the situation and broke it down for an audience better than what you guys did.
		Yes, Donny Deutch.
		What happened to us?
		No, it's what happened to you.
		It's what happened to you.
		In the days of you being one of the court jesters of the ruling class, all those days are coming to an end on the 5th of November.
		And no, MSNBC, we are not split.
		MAGA is not split in Virginia 5.
		It is 100% in back of Donald J. Trump, and it's 100% MAGA.
		The only thing we're split on is even President Trump's brand The 50% that voted against your endorsed candidate, President Trump, are the exact 50% that believe 100% of what you just said about Paul Ryan.
		Because the progeny of Paul Ryan is McCarthy.
		And that's who we hate.
		That dems the facts.
		And you are 1000% correct.
		On Paul Ryan.
		And I'm still waiting for anybody at Fox or any of his acolytes still up here in Capitol Hill to show me one.
		I got three and I can give you more, but I got three big ones.
		You show me one time he had political courage and took the hard way and stood for something.
	Short commercial break.

steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Welcome back.
		We're going to have Scott, Matt Bull's got an amazing piece up at Breitbart.
		Matt's going to join us tomorrow.
		We're going to have Scott Besant.
		We're going to go through some more math.
		Look, it's divine providence.
		It's providential that the CBO came out on the day of the election, on the day of the Virginia primary.
		We've got to get in back of that.
		And there's got to be a plan for that.
		And I understand the speaker and other people are working on all these kind of plans and doing things.
		But hey, guys, I just don't know how We want to put this in front of the American people.
		That's what we only wanted a one-year deal.
		Remember McCarthy, we gave him all kind of headway.
		We didn't love that first deal.
		Remember it had a $1.8 trillion deficit in it.
		We were not crazy about that.
		I didn't like it.
		I think I thought it was not a great deal, but prepared to do it if it was just one year.
		It was the second year in the uncapped spending.
		And we said at the time, it's going to be $2 trillion.
		We were right both times.
		It's pretty evident.
		And these numbers are even going to be worse when they're really calculated.
		So, they did that to take that out of the national election because they knew it would come, it would be basically in April or May.
		And they didn't want to do that.
		Because they're afraid, the donors are afraid you come back and start talking about tax increases for the wealthy.
		They didn't want that.
		And they only report to the donors, they don't report to you.
		So, we keep running and hiding because you don't trust the American people.
		The American people have tremendous common sense.
		The depth of goodness in this country is incredible.
		When you read the history of the world and you read the history of nations and you see what this country has done, the little guy, it's always the little guy.
		We've never been a country that's really been run by the elite like the countries in Europe or in Asia.
		That's what this great experiment is.
		You just have to trust them.
		You have to trust their common sense and now they're fed up.
		Donny Deutch, that's what you don't get.
		All you sit in is that bubble, and yes, it's going to feel like Fort Apache, and the cavalry is not going to arrive.
		You guys are finished.
unidentified		It's the end of an epoch.
unidentified		It is.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Where the elites of this country were overthrown.
		And a new day arises, and that's what Paul Ryan and the Murdochs, all of it, That's why they hate Trump.
		And they say he's a man without character.
		A man that could be sentenced to 700 years in prison and have his entire business taken from him and everything.
		And that man is without character and has come back to save this republic.
		The American Cincinnatus, just like the great Roman general that came back to save Rome, Mike Lindell.
		One of the things I love about Mike Lindell, he's down for a fight.
		You talk about this country, they're trying to take his company, they took the FBI, took his phone, they're trying to arrest him, they're trying to bankrupt him, they're trying to destroy him.
		Mike Lindell's all good for a fight.
		It's Paul Ryan, you Midwesterners, Minnesota, you guys want to fight.
		There are guys in Wisconsin, we're going to go there for the convention in Milwaukee.
		Paul Ryan's not like you guys.
		You guys are ready to fight.
		Robin Voss in Wisconsin.
		Robin Voss is a Paul Ryan acolyte.
		We're throwing him overboard.
		Correct, sir?
unidentified		Absolutely.
		They're two birds of a feather.
		They're all together and they're not like us in the Midwest.
		I don't know where they come from.
		But I got a Robin Boss report for you.
		I just got off the phone with my team in Wisconsin and the WEC, the Wisconsin Election Commission, has delayed.
		Last time, remember, they let us know in five hours if there was anything going on or any problems.
		This has been delayed.
		Now they just pushed it off to next week, Thursday, June 27th.
		Now what's with the delay?
		I mean, all they have to do is set the recall election and call it a day.
		And so once again, it just kind of reminds me of our elections we have now, like Maricopa, where they cover up the windows and you wait three days for the polls to come in.
		I mean, what is going on in Wisconsin?
		Well, when you take out one of their leaders, one of the biggest blockers this country's ever seen, they're very worried, Steve.
		You said it before.
		I pulled over on the side of the road here to watch your show here, because you were talking about all this.
		They are very worried, and it's going to be the end of them.
		It really is.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Hold it, so are you saying we're getting rolled on this?
		Please translate that from Minnesotaese so I can understand it.
		Are we getting rolled on this?
		Is the Wisconsin Election Commission, they've decided that despite the signatures there's not going to be a recall?
unidentified		Well, I asked my team, I said, who regulates the WEC?
		They can't do this according to the Constitution.
		Well, Mike, they can do anything.
		This is the Wisconsin Election Commission.
		Remember, you guys, that's their secretary of state.
		It's kind of the equivalent to a secretary of state and very corrupt.
		Remember Megan Wolf, that's who Voss would not take out, get rid of after the people got rid of her.
mike lindell ▲ ● ▼		And I believe they're slow rolling us and they're trying to come up with, they're inside of their little building right now going, what do we do?
unidentified		What are we going to do?
		We can't get rid of Rob.
		We can't let them get rid of Robin Voss.
		He's our fearless, corrupt leader.
		What are we going to do?
		You know, so yeah, they're slow rolling us.
		All right.
		We'll see what happens next Thursday, but there's Steve, there's really, our lawyers have looked at, there's really nothing they can do, but in the times we're in, they can sure try.
		We know that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Oh, there's a lot they can try.
		Okay.
		So we're on the Robin Voss watch.
		Now, give me a deal.
		Make me feel better before.
		I got Natalie coming on.
		We're going to take apart Fauci, so stick around for that.
