It matter when Donald Trump, a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist, is also absurd.
What does matter, of course, is democracy.
We're not saying that you shouldn't be paying attention.
Donald Trump is dangerous, and he isn't hiding what he intends to do in a second term.
His team's Project 2025 is a real thing and a real threat to all Americans.
It is a blueprint for his presidency, should he win in November, that offers a chilling roadmap for the subversion of checks and balances, the creation of a new authoritarian presidential powers, and efforts to Christianize the federal government.
nancy pelosi
We organize.
We own the ground.
We get out our vote.
Joe Biden will be the next president of the United States again.
He will be.
And Kamala Harris, the vice president.
We're very proud of that.
And we are organized.
I'm going all over the country.
I'm a former chair of the party.
You know, I came up into all of this being a grassroots organizer to get out the vote on the political side, to get out the vote.
I can smell a good campaign.
Or not.
And I'm telling you, the scent is there.
People are ready.
unidentified
Dictator.
Tyrant.
Dangerous.
Threat to democracy.
I cannot in good conscience endorse Donald Trump.
We don't take an oath to a king, or a queen, or a tyrant, or a dictator.
We don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator.
joy reid
We worked with him.
unidentified
We knew him.
This man is unfit to be president.
A second term would be more dangerous than a first.
Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, they're fully prepared to take advantage of him.
Yes, I do regard him as a threat to democracy for all those things that make America great.
donald j trump
Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath.
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
unidentified
Because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon
You're not going to get 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.
unidentified
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
It's Thursday, 27 June, the year of our Lord.
It is.
We're doing the pregame here.
Of course, you know, we don't do a lot of this debate.
Now, you know, I think that all this stuff they wait, all this wasted time on cable news is all hot air.
It doesn't mean anything.
Just keep this in mind with President Trump tonight.
Pivot and fire, pivot and fire, pivot and fire.
And President Trump, remember, you don't need to answer their questions, just pivot and fire.
Just just get out there what you need to get out.
You get plenty of ammo.
That's all metaphorical.
Misinformation, disinformation, sociopathic overlords that want to shut us down.
We got Brian Glenn.
We got the Brian Glenn.
Brian Glenn is in Atlanta.
Brian Glenn, Real America's voice man on the scene.
What do you got for us, brother?
brian glenn
Well, good afternoon, Steve.
The sun is out.
It's 100 degrees.
It feels like it.
And I love that strategy.
Pivot and fire.
Let me step aside, Steve, show you the scene out here.
We've got a couple hundred people that have gathered here over the last hour and a half, all waiting for President Trump to land at 535 here in Atlanta.
He will make his way over to, I'm assuming, prepare for the debate tonight that we'll have here.
And you said it, wall-to-wall coverage.
It all starts right here at the airport, and we'll carry our coverage all throughout the night.
correspondence on the ground here in Georgia, Carolyn Ryan, and we've got a
great group of people up in New York to do it from there from the warehouse. But
you know I've been talking to people Steve and they're fired up and all of
them think pretty much what you just said. Stay on point, stay on point, answer
the answer the question, get your you know don't get distracted and just fire
away on your accomplishments because we all know how devastated he's been.
steve bannon
I'm saying that hey if Jake Tapper answers a question I think it's an
option.
Pivot to Biden and get up in his grow.
I'm of the theory, and President Trump, I know a lot of people tell me, you've got to be nice, you've got to be classy.
Hey, just be yourself.
Be Donald John Trump.
Be the guy that got us three and a half years of peace and prosperity before he hit with a Chinese bioweapon in the deep state, broke out the summer of love.
Right.
We know what that was, was to take you out because you're so successful.
Just give us that.
You give us that guy.
And that's what people said to be nice.
You just just be yourself.
And if Biden says something that that triggers you within use that, turn that energy back and just pivot and fire, pivot and fire.
Biden can't keep up with him.
Let me ask you, Brian, because you follow the president so often over right side broadcasting and now at Real America's Voice. It's a little different strategy.
Biden got there I think a couple hours ago or so. He's going to relax, you know, do his 50th
debate prep. President Trump, typically, he's just flying right in. He's going, where's
the locker room? Where's game day? Where's the field? What's, where's the course? And what's the,
unidentified
where's the first tee? And what's the course record? Yeah, yeah, that's his game plan.
brian glenn
I mean, President Trump's a fighter.
I've seen him do two rallies, a speech, and then flew to Vegas to do a UFC, to walk into a UFC fight.
So the guy's got a ton of energy.
And so he's made for today.
He's made for this purpose.
And you and I both know this is our last hope.
There will never be another President Trump.
There'll never be another political figure that can take the bullets like he's taken over the last Six years, it seems like.
So, people are fired up.
Tonight, we're going to be watching.
And I like that strategy.
Pivot, fire.
Now, here's my strategy, Steve, on J6.
When they bring up J6, you say, well, let's talk about J6.
Let's talk about how low the immigration rate was on J6.
Let's talk about how low inflation was on J6.
Let's talk about how secure the border was that day on J6.
So, let's talk about J6.
steve bannon
I love that.
That's brilliant.
Quite brilliant.
Let me ask you, because you cover all the rallies.
You see him all over the place.
Talk about his energy level.
I mean, Biden's got a problem.
You've got to jack him up.
He's got two bathroom breaks.
When was the last time?
Kennedy, can I ask my crack young staff here, maybe the guys in Denver?
Did they have two bathroom breaks during Kennedy-Nixon?
Did they have a bathroom break during Reagan?
And they said, oh no, it's for ads and commercials.
Hey dude, CNN is broke, dead broke.
It got an English, got a British CEO from the New York Times.
You're gonna make plenty of money before, he's saving the channel.
President Trump is saving CNN, okay?
So why do they need, Brian, why do they, you're a TV guy, why do we need two commercial breaks, sir?
brian glenn
To reset Biden and give him some water and perhaps roll out a stool so he can sit down.
From what I've been told, by the way, is they originally wanted them to both sit.
And Trump said, nope, we're going to stand up because you should be able to stand up for 90 minutes.
And this might be the longest that he's had to stand up, Steve.
Think about this.
He doesn't do very many press gaggles.
He doesn't stand up for, you know, for minutes doing these things.
He may give a speech, but he sits down.
So physically, this is going to be a challenge for Joe Biden.
And we know mentally For sure, this is going to be a challenge for Joe Biden.
But I like your strategy.
And also, I don't want to see the two shake hands.
You don't shake hands with someone who's trying to lock you up and lock your family up for life.
You come out there, you stare him in the eye, and you look at those cameras.
steve bannon
I agree.
There's nothing to shake hands about.
This is not like... No, there's nothing to shake hands about.
President Trump, let's remember this.
He didn't go to the inauguration.
The reason he didn't go to the inauguration is that the 2020 election was stolen.
Joe Biden is not the legitimate president of the United States.
You should only shake hands with the legitimate president of the United States.
He's not it.
So why do it?
Let's just get right... I even like the part about this, there's no opening statement.
Let's just get on it.
Let's have a cage match.
Right?
UFC comes to presidential debates.
I just think President Trump ought to be his own true self.
Don't listen to everybody that's in his head.
Just be his own true self.
Right?
They've gun decked this every way.
They make sure that nobody's in the room.
It's in a studio.
They control the mic.
And the first time they control the mic, I'd go right after the announcer said, hey, hey, look, undo that mic.
I wouldn't have him have control of any of that.
Brian, you've watched him throughout the country.
Tell people, when he goes to these rallies, how long are these rally speeches where half of it's off the glass, he's not even looking at any text.
And you've seen him, you've been around him when he's done two or three of these a day.
How big are they?
How much energy does it take to stand up there in front of crowds of 5, 10, 15, 20,000 people?
brian glenn
Yeah, and outside, you know, not inside in a climate control, even though we had a great arena in Philadelphia.
But the majority of these rallies have been outside, cold weather, extremely hot weather.
The speech typically, as it reads, Steve, goes for about an hour and 40 minutes.
But you and I both know President Trump goes down these rabbit holes on just about every topic that adds to this.
So it is not out of the ordinary to have an over a plus, you know, two hour speech.
If he gives two a day, he's speaking for four hours.
That's not counting the amount of time.
Let's show them real quickly, Steve.
You've got a bunch of people lined up here.
And I know President Trump, he's going to walk off that plane.
He's going to start at one corner and he's going to work that line all the way down and
take a picture and talk to every single person.
I watched Joe Biden step off the plane earlier.
guess what how many people he spoke with zero
Zero.
And President Trump has energy like you and I. I only hope to have that much energy when I get a little older.
But he is ready, and I think we're going to see him in rare form tonight.
steve bannon
Brian, what do you think about his debate prep?
You know, most people would be trying to cram at the end.
He hasn't done any debate prep.
Biden has been at Camp David for a week.
Trump is here, right?
He's going to fly in right for the debate.
He's going to take 30 or 45 minutes to go through that line, shake hands, and let people take selfies.
Then he's going to go right to it, maybe have one Diet Coke, and then, you know, pop a TikTok and then ready to go.
A TikTok and ready to go.
brian glenn
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I think his debate strategy is what he's been doing.
After the 2020 election, Steve, he did 39 rallies after the 2020 election before he announced that he was going to run for president.
And then he did over double that when he announced.
So he's been preparing since, you know, November 4th of 2020, for the most part, he's been preparing for this.
Joe Biden's the one that needs to prepare because he cannot run on his record.
We all know that they're going to just fire January 6th.
You're going to find 34 You know, felony convictions, that's all they're going to do.
And so, I like your strategy, but I think he is warmed up to this.
I don't think, this is like another, this is like light work for him.
This is something that he does all the time in front of the fake news press as well.
He knows how to handle the press.
And Jake Tapper, and I kind of hope he does call out Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, as her husband was one of the spies that lied.
I kind of hope he calls them out.
Why not?
unidentified
You have nothing to lose tonight.
steve bannon
If they try to mess with his mic, definitely.
He's president of the United States.
But I don't know if you saw this.
In fact, if we can get this cut.
Whoopi Goldberg took offense, Brian, at people like you and me and others, MTG, referring to Donald J. Trump as President Trump.
She went nuts on us today.
Said, you know, just went crazy.
That was inappropriate, etc.
Brian, what time is the president due to arrive?
brian glenn
Okay, he lands at 535, so really here in the next 25 minutes or so, and then we'll have coverage of him obviously working the line.
Our coverage, official coverage, for the debate starts at 7 o'clock tonight.
Team coverage.
steve bannon
Okay, Brian, what we're going to do, we'll talk to Denver.
We're going to come back to you in the C Block before the President lands.
We'll come back and get your full report.
How about that?
Sounds good, Stan.
Thank you, brother.
You know, Brian Brooks, a good point.
President Trump, hot, cold.
MTG, as tough as she is, she was kind of hurt.
Remember they had in Vegas?
I got to talk to the advance team.
They had in Vegas, it was 115 degrees.
And I don't think they had any shade up to the front of the... President Trump just went out there, didn't back off.
I think that speech was over an hour.
MTG will tell you, if you weren't drinking cold water, Every second you were about to get you're about to crush.
OK, President Trump is coming into Atlanta.
He's left Mar-a-Lago.
A lot of good folks on the plane, kind of less than a debate prep.
He comes up.
He's going to land at 535.
We're going to go back to Atlanta.
Brian Glenn, Real America's Voice is there on the scene.
Watch President Trump as he arrives.
We're going to focus.
We got Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, a lot of stuff going on.
You heard Nancy Pelosi.
It was quite powerful.
Nancy Pelosi said, I'm a grassroots organizer.
We organize, we win.
You got to listen to her.
She's evil, but she's tough.
And I think she's on to something.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
We're sponsored by and brought to you by Birch Gold.
Remember, this end of the dollar empire means the end of the dollar is the prime reserve currency.
How is that going to impact your life?
Your personal finances?
Your family's finances?
The country's finances?
You're going to learn a lot about it, and you don't have to go to business school.
We've got the end of the dollar empire, which is five free installments.
You can download them all at one time.
Some people come to have them sign them at these events.
Love to do that.
Birchgold.com slash Bannon.
unidentified
short commercial break.
That is, unless the Supreme Court intervenes, which it could do at any moment.
Today, the Department of Justice formally urged the High Court not to intervene here and to let Mr. Bannon face accountability for his actions.
But remarkably, the Justice Department isn't the only group that lobbied the court about Steve Bannon today.
sean hannity
Mr. Speaker, I understand there might be a change in position regarding the House and their stance on the January 6th committee, and it might be regarding Steve Bannon, and it may have a big impact on his contempt case.
unidentified
Tell me what's going on.
mike johnson
Yeah, we're working on, following an amicus brief, and his appellate work there in his case.
unidentified
Today, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and several other Republican members of the House voted to make the formal position of the U.S.
House of Representatives, the formal position that the January 6th Committee did not have the authority to do the work that it did.
And that therefore, Steve Bannon should not have to go to prison.
To step back here for some context, remember that the reason Steve Bannon is headed to prison in the first place is because he refused to comply with the subpoena from the January 6th committee.
That's despite clearly knowing a lot about January 6th and the plan to overturn Biden's win in Congress.
Just to refresh your memory, here was Mr. Bannon the day before the attack on the Capitol.
steve bannon
Tomorrow morning, look, what's going to happen, we're going to have at the Ellipse, President Trump speaks at 11, we're going to be live at 10, we've got a lot more news and analysis of exactly what's going to go into the day.
I'll tell you this, it's not going to happen like you think it's going to happen, okay?
unidentified
It's going to be quite extraordinarily different.
steve bannon
And all I can say is strap in.
The War Room, a posse, you have made this happen and tomorrow it's game day.
unidentified
Strap in, tomorrow it's game day.
Today the Washington Post and George Mason University are out with new polling that asked voters in six key swing states who they trusted more when it came to protecting our democracy.
Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
And somehow, Donald Trump came out on top.
44% of voters in those six swing states trust Trump over Biden to protect democracy.
In Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, 44% of voters trust Donald Trump, the man who incited the attack on the Capitol, the man who calls the January 6th rioters hostages, and more to the point, the man who tried to subvert democracy and steal our last presidential election by force.
But somehow, somehow, More voters in the swing states that will likely decide this election trust Donald Trump over Joe Biden when it comes to defending our democracy.
That poll is confounding.
But it also highlights a dark reality and one that we have to wrestle with to understand what is really happening in our nation's politics right now.
The big lie is working.
Not everywhere and not all the time.
But Donald Trump and his Republican boosters in Congress and the right-wing media, they have all successfully sold a sizable portion of the American public, not just on the lie that the 2020 election was rigged, but that people like Donald Trump and Steve Bannon are victims.
And that they, Trump and Bannon, are the defenders of freedom, fighting against an unseen fascist cabal.
As preposterous as it may seem, that lie, based on grievance rather than the actual truth, well, that lie really seems to have found an audience.
I mean, he is the id of the MAGA movement at this point, but keep in mind that he is doing the bidding of the former president of the United States, the future president of the United States, and let's go back to Mike Johnson.
Mike Johnson is looking at him and says, this is our guy, this is somebody that we want to defend, this is somebody who is a victim.
So the larger picture here is the assault on any sort of legal accountability for people
who were involved with January 6th.
This is part of this revisionist history, turning January 6th into some sort of legitimate
protest and Republicans in Congress are now all in on all of this.
So you know, Donald Trump is out on a regular basis, joining himself with the January 6th
of pledging that he will pardon all of them.
And in many ways, you know, Steve Bannon is just a symbol of all of that.
What's extraordinary is that Mike Johnson has a choice to make.
He could distance himself from that, deal with the business of the country, put the country over this, and move on.
Instead, because Donald Trump is demanding it, he has to go and use his authority to try to defend Steve Bannon, who is obviously in I'm deeply involved in the conspiracy to try to overturn this election.
But again, this is all part of this continuum, this attack on the criminal justice system, this insistence that they are all victims, and the fact that the Republican Party, the party of law and order, I can't get over this, I'm sure David can't either, the party of law and order, you go now to a Trump rally and people are going, I'm voting for the convicted felon.
The chairman of the Republican Party in the county that I'm sitting in right now had an op-ed piece.
I am voting for the convicted felon.
And the more felons they are, the more zealous I'm going to be in supporting them.
I mean, this is... We are in a really weird moment in American politics.
And it's not just when we talk about democracy, but there's a real assault on the concept of the rule of law if you delegitimize the entire criminal justice system and you turn criminal behavior like Steve Bannon's into some sort of a martyrdom.
steve bannon
Welcome back.
The president, I think, has just landed.
Can we do a two shot right here?
We'll go to Brian Glenn as he pulls up.
Two shot.
The president is in.
The eagle has landed.
Getting ready for tonight.
Very important there.
Alice Wagner, and a hat tip to her, she's the only one that's really addressed this Washington Post poll.
Because the Washington Post wanted to go out and do a poll That they were released on the eve of or the morning of this debate that show, yes, Biden is resonating this democracy.
Defending democracy is what the people want to talk about.
It's very important.
And he's up 20 points or 30 points.
Remember the CNN, the head of politics over there, we used to play this clip all the time.
Remember when he looked at the reflecting pool and he had on the mall and they had those little lights like you see sometimes at weddings or at dinner parties or cocktail parties.
And he says, look at that.
That looks like Joe Biden's arms just embracing America because you need a hug.
This was on the eve of the inauguration.
Remember that crap?
Charlie Sykes, here's the reason.
So let me make sure that MSNBC can understand this.
There's some pattern recognition first and some understanding.
The American people have tremendous common sense.
The American people understand when something doesn't make sense.
The American people and we said this on the show from the very beginning of when the big steal happened.
And particularly if you remember on the afternoon of 20 January 2021, those of you that were, you know, followed the show, we said, we're going to keep pounding this.
We're going to keep pounding about the big steal because the more people get information about it, the more people that understand it, They'll start to question Biden's legitimacy.
And once they question the legitimacy of this regime and they understand that the foundation is going to shift and all of a sudden you're going to see a massive shift in demographics supporting MAGA, supporting President Trump.
unidentified
That's exactly what's happened.
steve bannon
We go into this, is it Ezra Klein?
The 538 is pushed.
The great pollster has pushed now that President Trump is no longer a toss up.
It is two-thirds, one-third Trump to win.
And the reason he said this, the battleground states, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, maybe even throw in Michigan, that those are now in play.
There's a big story in Daily Mail today that a state that has not voted for Republicans since, I think, 2004, the great state of Nevada, Trump's now up three points.
So the shifting, and particularly the shifting on their key topic, If you looked at all week before the Washington Post poll came out, all they said was that Biden was really focused, where he thought because the economic policies are not working, so much is not working, that he was really going to focus and hone in on this democracy.
unidentified
And now that has blown up in their face.
steve bannon
And Charlie Sykes, people can see, when they see, they can't even understand what happened in New York.
They can't explain it.
And they see that guy got 34 felonies.
He's going to be sentenced to prison on 11 July.
And he's got another, you know, dozens and dozens of felonies out there for, I don't know, 700 years in prison.
And they see the scam that's been run in South Florida.
They see the joke down with Fannie Willis.
They see the, you know, the Trump electors out in Arizona and Michigan.
And they're about to get the Supreme Supreme Court was already nine to nothing when you try to take him off the ballot illegally, nine to nothing.
Even the super left wing progressive justice had to vote for it.
And either tomorrow morning, Julie Kelly, the great Julie Kelly, she thinks we're going to get Fisher tomorrow.
I happen to think we'll get Chevron deference tomorrow, Friday, and the Supreme Court has told us they will issue some on Monday.
I believe that you'll get Fisher and Fisher I'll just overturn so much and get to the heart of the conspiracy with these with these with these federal judges in DC.
It's all blown up in their face.
No, we are the rule of law party, but it's about the rule of law under the Constitution.
What you've had is something that shredded the Constitution, and you quite frankly were part of a Republican Party that allowed the Radical Democrats to do it.
You were collaborators.
You just got tapped along.
You were what we call the controlled opposition.
Well, we're not the controlled opposition.
And hey, guess what?
There may be prison.
There's already been prison time for Peter Navarro.
Other people have been put in prison.
Some for many years.
They just had a 75-year-old grandmother that was put to prison.
People are going to go to prison.
They've already bankrupted people.
They're bankrupting.
They're liquidating Alex Jones.
They're trying to bankrupt Jim Jim Hoft.
They're now going to go after Epoch Times.
This is just it's a political war.
These kind of things are going to happen.
But we're ascendant.
And if we don't quit, we win.
We can only lose if we say we've had enough.
We can't do it anymore.
It's theirs.
It's their country.
If you continue to fight for your republic, we will be victorious.
short commercial break the president Okay, uh, we're back
We're back a little early.
I want to go to Brian Glenn.
The door to Trump Force One has opened.
We're going to toss to Brian Glenn.
Brian, put us in the room down there.
Put us in the scene, brother.
We got the president got there a few minutes early.
What do you got?
brian glenn
He did.
As soon as he landed, man, these people went crazy.
The energy here was like a rally.
So he landed, he circled back around, he's parked.
They put the stairs up to the front door.
No one, as of now, has walked off the plane.
No advisors, no service members.
And obviously, President Trump has not come off as well.
But what an iconic, you know, Steve, this is one of those moments.
You have been around politics, you've seen this your entire career.
Have you ever seen this much energy, especially after all that President Trump has gone through?
You would think that the base would have given up at certain times, but as you can listen in, they're chanting Trump, Trump, Trump.
Steve, it's just a great moment right now.
steve bannon
It's fantastic, and I know the President's going to be very jacked up today.
The debate is not until 9 o'clock, so he is there at 5.30.
I think you're, what, 45 minutes out from downtown where the CNN studios are, Glenn O'Brien?
brian glenn
Yeah, yeah.
It's about 30, 45 minutes now.
Atlanta traffic, as you probably know, is awful.
So right now, with all of the closures that are going around, around the CNN building and around the soccer, by the way, there's a huge soccer game going on tonight, just blocks away from the debate.
So the traffic in this area is going to be a nightmare.
And I would imagine It is right now.
So, of course, obviously the motorcade supersedes all of that.
But there's a lot, just a lot going on here in Atlanta.
So if you live in the area and you want to go out and maybe flag wave, you can do that.
I see Susie Wiles, Chris Lasavita, she's trying to peek through the The crowd here to see who's off the plane at this point.
But a lot of energy.
And if you, you know, I do encourage people, Steve, to grab your Trump flag and make your way down towards the debate area.
Now, they're going to have it blocked off.
But what I'm told, there's some very organized, peaceful support for President Trump there on the ground.
But, you know, do have some caution.
We do have the ceasefire people.
We do have the Antifa has also Publicly said they're going to be out there protesting the president.
So there's going to be some counter protests down there, as you would expect.
But if this is, you know, if you live in Georgia, here's the deal, Steve.
The polls may say one thing, but I don't necessarily trust them.
And I want to pretend like we're 30 points down.
And I want, you know, I want Georgia to really get out and help the vote.
Too big to rig is what President Trump often says, and that's what we need to happen here.
Because Steve, I'm not completely convinced that they're not going to try to steal this election, not just here in Georgia, but look at what they've done in Texas, Steve.
All the illegals they have registered to vote.
And that will easily flip Texas.
People think that Texas is a done deal.
And why would you need to take Wisconsin or Michigan?
You take Texas, and you get Texas, it's game over.
And Joe Biden's your next president.
So every state's crucial at this point, especially with all the illegal immigrants that have come across our border.
And for one purpose only, in my opinion, it's to vote for Democrats in future elections.
And If they end up doing that, Steve, we got some problems.
steve bannon
Brian, we had a cold open with Nancy Pelosi.
She's saying today, on the ground, that she came at a grassroots order.
You have to own the ground.
In the six o'clock hour, we are going to go to Georgia.
Liz Harrington has done a brilliant study about how Georgia was stolen.
She's brought the receipts, how Georgia was stolen in 2020.
And Jenny Beth Martin is going to come in and talk about Tea Party patrons and their efforts.
To get ground games stood up so we can beat this.
I 100% agree with you.
Particularly Brian in Georgia.
They had last night an interview.
President of the United States right there.
Let's just watch this.
brian glenn
Let's listen in, Steve.
This is what the crowd has been waiting for for the past two hours here on the ground
at Atlanta, Georgia.
Nice little fist pump by the president.
And that's one thing he is, Steve.
He's a showman.
He knows how to get the crowd jacked up, knows how to energize.
Well, he's going to go straight to the car.
Well, there you go.
Well, let's listen in.
You gotta go straight to the car.
steve bannon
Yeah.
Clearly, they feel like, I think, the Secret Service and the team feel like they've got to get down to downtown Atlanta.
CNN headquarters, given the traffic, the rush hour traffic.
Remember, he wants to get down there and at least spend a couple of hours just gathering yourself.
I would always be, you know, don't have people in his ear.
There's no last minute statistic you can give him.
Or if you want to give him a one line, this is not the time to do it.
Just let him Let him collect himself and think about it.
He's he's still the best.
What I don't like about this tonight, Brian, as we're going to see the president, the president is going to take off, I think, immediately.
What we don't like is is kind of some of the structure of this.
I don't like the fact that it's in this studio with no audience.
President Trump, as you know, Brian, can read the room better and he feeds off of he feeds off that raw emotion that can come in a debate, particularly one that could be a fight club.
The other thing in the media is complaining about this.
The media spin room and where many of Trump's, President Trump's surrogates will be is a ways away from, I don't even think it's, I'm not even sure it's in the same building with President Trump.
They're going to watch it on closed circuit TV.
This is the biggest journalist in the world.
So there's not like they're going to be sitting in the room.
They're going to be in closed circuit TV, I believe.
And they're going to just go.
And then the President Trump's surrogates are just going to go with Biden's surrogates and just jump in there.
If you, you have any update on that, Brian?
brian glenn
No, I think you're absolutely right on that.
It's going to be an empty room.
And Trump feeds off this crowd, like he's feeding off the crowd now as he makes his way to the debate.
But by eliminating a live audience, that is taken out that once Trump throws a really good one-liner, a really good talking point back, and the crowd can get jacked up.
That just, he feeds off that.
They're taking that away.
So it's going to be a very silent arena.
You will not get feedback from the studio audience.
You may even get feedback from Joe Biden.
I don't think he's going to say, he may not say anything except for answering the questions that he probably already has in advance.
steve bannon
Brian, President came down, gave a fist pump, recognized the crowd, but then immediately got into the beast.
I think landing at 5.30 and going into Atlanta, rush hour traffic, which I think you would assume would take you at least an hour, even with Secret Service.
There's only so many ways you can clear those freeways, right?
That it would take him at least an hour.
That would put him down at 6.30, almost 7 o'clock, just two hours.
Before the debate, and I think in two hours, he's got to collect himself, just stand down, clear your mind, have a Diet Coke, relax, and just free your mind.
brian glenn
Yeah, you're right.
I was with him in the motorcade when he went to jail.
From this facility to jail, it was about 35-40 minutes.
Now granted, there wasn't a whole lot of other stuff going on.
We didn't have, you know, Joe Biden in town or sporting events.
unidentified
So to your point, it was also it was also it was also early.
steve bannon
Yeah, it was also earlier in the day.
Now you got that Atlanta rush hour traffic.
It's get in the car and let's look.
I would have actually probably advised we come in a little earlier.
But President Trump likes Mar-a-Lago.
He didn't want to leave until he's got to leave.
And so you got to work with that.
But I always like getting there a little bit earlier and giving him time.
To unwind.
It's not helpful to have people in his area.
Think about it.
I want to compare and contrast this.
Every day this week, Brian, as you've been covering, President Trump's doing rallies.
President Trump's going doing meetings.
He's holding meetings down in Mar-a-Lago.
Yes, they are getting some, I don't know if I'd even call it debate, perhaps some, I think they call them policy meetings that can kind of sharpen sharpen his blade.
Joe Biden, Brian, has spent seven days with 16 advisers Just non-stop debate prep.
What does that tell you about a guy?
And he's supposed to have the job right now.
It shouldn't be like a lot of these things should be new information for Biden, do you think?
brian glenn
No, you're right.
What do you have to prepare for?
I mean, Joe Biden, you've had, actually I'll go a step further, Steve.
You've had 40 years, 40 plus years in public service.
I would think by now, you know what the hell you're doing.
So I don't know why you have to go up there and sit and focus for so long.
I don't understand what's needed.
And to be honest with you, we said this earlier, President Trump, he's got these policies down.
He put them in place.
He lived it.
Americans experienced it.
I think tonight, He just needs to get in the right mindset.
I love the pivot and fire tactic.
You got to get Joe Biden on the ropes, get him mentally confused, get him so turned around that he doesn't know where he's at.
Now, granted, you don't have a crowd, but let's imagine that President Trump is in there just throwing haymakers and getting Joe Biden mentally Off his game and and real quickly for the for the call to have a drug test at Steve.
I think that is a legitimate request because we have seen him at the State of the Union where he slurred that speech.
He had the world's longest walk from the cloakroom down to So what Joe Biden will we see tonight?
Will he be jacked up Joe Biden where he's going a mile a minute or will he be sleepy Joe?
an hour and like five minutes. He was on something there.
There's no doubt about it, comparing to previous speeches. So what Joe Biden will
we see tonight? Will he be jacked up Joe Biden where he's going a mile a minute
or will he be sleepy Joe? That's yet to be decided.
steve bannon
What people, just to go back to the State of the Union where the media was
Remember, they're the ones that pushed this early debate because they want to figure out how to change it out.
Axios today, Mike Allen and the brilliant ones over there had a scoop today.
That Michelle Obama, who doesn't like politics, and they say is very nonpartisan.
I think you remember that from the Obama years, how nonpartisan she was, right?
They talked about how she detests the Bidens, and particularly what she detests about them is kind of the creepy feral dog family aspect of it.
So they kind of teed her up as that, hey, I'm available and I'm not partisan.
I can bring the country together.
I can give you a big group hug.
But Brian, I think that they're trying to tee up a potential to have something in the back burner in case it doesn't go right.
If I was President Trump, I would make sure I would do one thing.
During that debate, I would turn to Biden and I would ask him a tough question, a question that he just hasn't programmed by talking points and tells.
I would ask him about, you know, maybe the bird flu in Iowa.
I would pick a topic.
That the president should know, but he and his team haven't thought of it.
I'd ask him a direct and I'd ask him a tough question.
And I think you would get a total vapor lock.
I think unless it's been programmed into Biden, I think unless they've given certain tells of what Trump says and that'll do it.
I think that the best way to show that he's not up to the job mentally is to challenge That mental aspect of it.
And the best way to challenge it is ask somebody hard questions.
Let's ask him a tough question, a tough but fair question, and let him just sit there in front of the mic and babble an answer.
As you know, when you see his, and Brian, you've been around and seen Trump at these hour and a half, two hour speeches with huge crowds and applause lines, and they're all policy driven.
And then he'll go Mort Sahl on you, right?
He'll take news of the day and rift on it.
Like, you know, he's playing a big room in Vegas.
No, it's amazing.
Biden, as you know, they go to the Roosevelt Room and they go there's highly structured.
He's got a he's got a piece of paper where they even say, hey, it's time for me to pause.
He's not up for this.
And so if I was President Trump, I don't know if I would say I would come off the chain, but I would be quite aggressive and challenge this guy and see if he can prove to the American people he's up to the task of being president of the United States.
Your thoughts?
brian glenn
No, I agree.
Come out and give him that topic.
Offhand, I don't know what that question would be, but you're absolutely right.
You've got to get him off what he has predicted and probably studied the last week.
Just while you were talking, we had a lot of people come up here and say, hey, thanks for what you do.
Thanks for what you do for the American people.
Let me just say this, Steve.
You're going through a very difficult time right now.
Let me tell you.
America's with you.
We are with you.
We are inspired by you.
We're not going to back down.
We're not going to give up.
We've been doing it for years, and I'm telling you, Steve, from the bottom of my heart, we are not going to quit fighting for this country, and we're going to fight for you.
I can promise you that.
steve bannon
No way.
No way.
Thank you, brother.
I appreciate that.
By the way, what inspires me is that audience, the people that stand out there.
To greet President Trump and make sure he feels pumped up, and then they come up to you and say, Brian, we love the job you're doing.
We love the job Real America's Voice is doing.
Brian, what's the social media?
Where can I get all your content?
brian glenn
Well, you can hit me up at BrianGlennTV across all socials, at Brian on True Social, at Getter, at BrianGlennTV as well.

How confident do you feel in the elections right now in Georgia?
How many Joe Biden signs have you seen in people's yards?
Bumper stickers?
Support?
There you go, Steve.
We're going to be told that Joe Biden is the most popular political candidate in this state.
We're going to be lied to again and again.
This is what the people are saying.
Steve, I've traveled this country.
We do have faith in God.
Thank you very much.
steve bannon
We know that Joe Biden is compromised.
unidentified
He's a pathological liar.
He's a resident, not a president.
He's a usurper.
This is some fake news out of our Augusta Chronicle.
Biden isn't working to address any immigration issues.
Nothing.
steve bannon
And first of all, it's not immigration.
brian glenn
It's illegal alien invasion.
That's what the people are saying right here, Steve.
I mean, as you say, they've had a belly full of it.
They cannot stand Joe Biden anymore.
And we are all praying for you, Steve.
steve bannon
Let's remind you that.
You know, Brian, if I had my choice, I would have had those folks to prep President Trump for the debate.
Prepping for the debate.
That would have been fantastic.
Thank you, brother.
Thank you, Brian Glenn from the Atlanta airport.
Look at those folks right there.
Illegal alien invasion.
They got the nomenclature down.
That's just random citizens right there.
You had five or six just amazing, amazing comments.
Brian Glenn doing it.
So the president's en route to the CNN headquarters, the CNN broadcast center, I guess we should call it now.
I don't think their headquarters are in Atlanta anymore.
The broadcast center.
Kind of an odd setup tonight.
We're going to go through all of it, by the way.
So we're going to also stream it on Getter.
We're going to stream it on Rumble.
Check in with Grace, check in with Mo.
If you're hearing this, make sure you go and interrupt.
I'll be in and out of the chat.
As the night goes on, and I'll be joining Charlie Kirk and Jack Posobiec.
They're doing, you know, one of these watch things.
I'm going to jump in there afterwards and give you my assessment.
And we've got a big show tomorrow.
Also, and I think we're going to stream it if we can.
I'm going to be with Megyn Kelly for two hours tomorrow.
I'm going to be with Megyn Kelly on her show for two hours.
We're going to do the Megyn Kelly show, a two hour interview.
We've never ever interviewed.
I don't believe maybe one time there's a movie, but I don't think I did any talking.
I think Bossy did all the talking.
So first time I've ever had an interview with her, that would be 12 noon to 2 p.m.
Live tomorrow morning.
So a lot of activity.
We're gonna focus in the next hour Nancy Pelosi said that said we own the ground We own the ground.
There's no possibility we allow this to be stolen.
So we're going to go to Georgia.
We've got Harrington and Jenny Beth Martin to walk us through Georgia.
We're going to go to Arizona.
We got Caroline Wren.
We're going to get Mike Lindell.
We're going to get Mike Lindell up about the, about Mike's up.
We're going to get to Mike in a second about, well, Mike, let me go to you now and we just do it.
So Mike, what in the hell's happening in Wisconsin?
I thought we're going to have a recall of Robin Voss, the big blocker.
unidentified
Well, the WEC is denying it.
Steve, they can't do it.
Their own lawyers said two days ago, yep, it's good to go.
Recall August 6, the Wisconsin Election Commission is denying it.
And remember everybody, Robin Voss is the one that set up the WEC.
It's his baby.
So it's like, did we kind of expect this?
Well, I expect anything nowadays what's going on in our country.
But I will tell you this, Steve, I've been after the WEC for three and a half years now
because they suppressed everything in Wisconsin like they did Colorado.
steve bannon
So I'm very- Okay, I got that.
Okay, but hang on.
everybody would hang on if...
If we don't shut down the Robin Voss, the WC, President Trump, and I'm taking this from Gabelman, President Trump's not going to win Wisconsin.
How did they deny it?
unidentified
Illegally.
According to our lawyers, it's absolutely, they can't deny it.
Do we spend time now bringing the WEC to court?
steve bannon
Are you going to court this afternoon?
unidentified
No, no, we're not going to.
I'm going to be calling the lawyers.
I'm going to be calling them and finding out what the strategy is.
We're not, we will never give up to get rid of Robin Voss and the WEC.
I'm taking this once again, you know, the public, the public now is, it's opened it up to the public.
They're very upset.
The people on the ground, they are so upset.
Robin Voss, remember, had more signatures to recall him than he got in the election, than he even got in the election.
So Not only Robin Vos, but now people see the corruption of the WEC.
They both need to go.
And Steve, I will tell you this.
We will try everything we have to get rid of them, which we will, but we are going to win Wisconsin.
This just fires up the people all the more in Wisconsin.
His rating is 14% he's polling at.
