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
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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bound.
Hello everyone.
mike lindell
I'll tell you, I never thought I'd be filling in for a legend and to talk about a legend that has passed.
I'm honored to be filling in for Stephen, and I'm very sad to bring in the news, which you probably already heard, but passing of my great friend, Lou Dobbs.
Just a few days ago, two days ago now, I was praying with his wife.
We were at the RNC, and she had called, and we prayed with her over the phone, and Lou passed yesterday, as everybody knows.
He was a legend.
He was a great friend of mine.
We strategized almost every day about these election platforms and what we were going to do to be proactive going forward.
He was such a great mentor.
He inspired so many.
And he loved just telling the truth and putting it out there.
He goes back all the way.
I'm going to show you some clips here, but I just want to say that, um, Lou wanted to keep going.
We knew he was sick, and he was a fighter to the end.
He wanted to keep working, keep working.
He wanted me to keep going, just to keep going and what we've been working on and everything, and that is securing our election platform.
I want to show you clips back when Lou worked with CNN and we're gonna I want to show you that this is there's a couple clips you're gonna see here for putting work for CNN and then when he went over to Fox and to show you how long it's been that Lewis the pioneer of going after these machine companies and going after and to secure our election platforms and
But I want to get into that, but I just want to say again that I'm praying for the family.
I'm praying for his wife, Debbie, and the family today.
I just came from the RNC convention, and it was an amazing, amazing convention.
But we'll have to talk about that at another time.
But right now, let's roll these clips, and let's get into what Lou wanted us to do and to continue on to save our country.
lou dobbs
E-voting machines will count at least three out of every four votes cast in next week's election.
But the e-voting machines may not be reliable.
They may not be safe from tampering.
If the voting process is not secure, then our very democracy is at risk.
A new documentary, Hacking Democracy, is set to air on HBO Thursday evening, telling the story of writer-turned-voter activist You have people that don't understand software security that are saying, okay, it adds two boats together.
unidentified
Let's push it off.
mike lindell
So we really need new standards.
lou dobbs
And the idea that these companies with their proprietary software, and this is the part I really love, Are basically in control of the election because no one can verify what they're doing except the their own employees.
Do you think, we hear from our viewers all the time, concerned in a partisan way about what will happen with these four, these machines manufactured by four basic manufacturers.
They view these machines not only suspiciously in terms of the software that they use, the way in which they're designed and operated, but they think there's true partisan influence.
Do you agree?
unidentified
Well, I think on both sides.
You see, the problem with the machines is whoever has custody of the machines has a tremendous advantage if they choose to manipulate the election.
lou dobbs
And I just, I cannot imagine, Hugh, how we got to a situation where the federal government is spending billions of dollars to buy machines that can be opened with minibar keys that can be tampered with.
unidentified
It's kind of scary when you kind of take the analogy of electronic voting machines.
Yes, well, the American people are going to have to insist on paper ballots with real identification.
That's going to be one of the key things to stop.
lou dobbs
Well, that's going to be great for the next... I'm not even... Sydney, I've got to tell you, I'm not even going to contemplate the next election.
I'm not even contemplating the January 5th election in Georgia.
The hell with that.
If the people of Georgia are dumb enough, after what they have gone through in the November 3rd election, to then go toward January 5th in a runoff and think that changing nothing will change the outcome, then the people of Georgia aren't half as smart as I believe them to be.
And I believe the patriots in Georgia should stop this nonsense now.
It is not something that to be decided about over who do you favor, which party, which candidate.
This is now about faith in the electoral system in one specific state that may control the destiny of this country.
And by God, it's too important for anyone.
And I don't care what party you're in.
I don't care whether you're an independent.
This is too important to act as if nothing happened on November 3rd and to pretend that there will be a different outcome on January 5th.
It's idiotic.
mike lindell
Well, there you have it.
You know, Lewis started out back in, I believe it was 2003, trying to say, you know, talking about our election platforms.
And right after that last clip, you see, remember, he worked for CNN.
He left there.
Then he went over to Fox.
And I believe we have a A clip there, or I mean a newspaper article there.
There it is right there.
Lou Dobbs got let go.
Him and I had a lot in common back then.
You go back to in 21, where he just for speaking out, saying, hey, let's look into this.
Let's check into this.
And he got let go.
And when I first, I gotta backtrack a little.
I remember when I spoke from the Rose Garden, I remember back in the day when I said, you know, we need to get back in our Bibles and spend time with our families.
God had given us grace for such a time as this.
This is right before the virus.
And I did 109 interviews in five days back then.
They're going, how dare you speak about God from the podium?
And I remember going on a little show, and I was just going, wow, I'm going on this legend, this absolute legend show.
And I was so nervous.
And I get on there, I was up.
Of all the ones I did, I was nervous.
I get on there, and I remember just putting it out there.
I go, Lou, they're just evil.
They're just pure evil.
And he just cracked up on TV.
It made me just feel good that he belly laughed, actually.
But anyway, after he got let go, it was...
I met him a couple of different times over those couple of years, but then I want to show you clip two and three, or three and the next two clips, because he came over, yep, he came over to, I offered him a job at Frank's Beach, but first he came, and last summer, a year ago, and I said, hey, would you come to our event, this election summit?
And, Lou, you said, absolutely, Mike.
I'm going, wow, we got Lou coming to our event, and it just validated everything we were doing, because Lou, I mean, it was validation.
Lou just was, you just knew what he said was, like, he put it out there.
He put the truth out there, and he didn't back off.
So let's roll this one.
And do you know, do you know how special this is?
This is the first time he's done an appearance like that since Fox let him go on February 5th of 2021.
So God bless you.
unidentified
Thank you.
mike lindell
And you know, you were one of my favorite shows all the time, you know.
And actually our great real President Donald Trump, he always talked about your show.
And it's, uh, and, uh, and you, you know, back in 2004 or five, I seen where the electronic voting machines, or you even had concerns back then.
And you were speaking out though, back then.
And I want you to talk a little bit about that, but then I want to say, what changed between now and then?
Why are the people that speak out now are getting attacked, as you know, and it's totally different.
lou dobbs
Well, I think my earliest reporting, can you hear me all right?
My earliest reporting was, I believe, 2003.
Electronic voting just coming into play, and most of the critics at that time, and Brenda and I were talking about this earlier, most of the critics The few that were, were Democrats.
By the way, that was true in 2020 as well, until just a few months before the election.
Now, I don't know what happened, but it seemed like it was an orchestrated withdrawal of the Democrats from the complaint.
They did get the memo.
unidentified
It's your turn!
lou dobbs
And back then, my concerns were the same as they are to this very day.
The machines are unreliable.
There is no transparency, which is a wonderful word.
There's no clarity whatsoever about how those little boxes are working.
And they're proprietary and all of the companies that have them are private, and they count 90% of the votes in the country.
And I'm telling this to you, you've spent so much time on this, but it's what has changed since then.
The fact that the Democratic Party has been overtaken by Marxist Dems.
They have moved farther left.
They have become an anti-American force in this country.
They have actually joined with the deep state and created a fifth column in this country that means to do us not only great harm, but they mean to destroy the very idea of a constitutional republic.
mike lindell
Oh, that seems like yesterday, but a long time ago.
That was a year ago this August.
And, uh, when Lou came out and, uh, and spoke there and, uh, uh, this week we, we got, we got real close to her.
We talked about all kinds of stuff that, that I just kept asking him all these things.
Cause he was so knowledgeable going back about the, uh, um, the voting machines.
And, uh, and if you heard one thing he said there, he said the Democrats, We're against these devices.
And I've been telling you all that.
If you watch the movie Kill Chain, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Minnesota, we played it before, like the 10, 20, 30 different Democrats and politicians saying, hey, we've got to go to paper ballots, hand counted.
And that's what we've been telling you all, everybody.
So I want to tell you, I want to tell you what Lou and I, you know, we were working on.
And by the way, remember then I hired Lou In December of this last year, and he came over to Frank's speech, I was so honored to have him on board.
And like you say, he had a show every night right before mine.
And, and it was, we probably strategize every day about the election platform.
So one of the things I want to tell you all right now, Well, if you go to LyndalePlan.com, everybody, you go there and you guys can, what I want you all to do, you'll be asking it for your mail-in ballot.
You just, you go get your mail-in ballot and you secure it.
You don't use it, you hang on to it.
And when you go to vote on election day and they tell you that you have not voted, you pull it out.
I mean, I'm sorry.
If they say you've already voted, you say, no, I have not.
Now this then becomes identity theft.
We didn't have this in the other elections where you people would go in there like four months ago.
This gal, this district attorney in Texas, she went in to vote and they said, oh, you've already voted.
She said, no, I haven't.
It became a big fiasco, but she had a platform to get the word out where they actually looked into it.
So everybody, if you secure, get your mail-in ballot, hang on to it.
When you go to vote, if they tell you you've already voted, you bring it out and say, no, I have not.
Now we lay it all out there on the plan.
We lay it all out there on the plan.
Where we tell you what to do.
It's a 10-step process that you can do when you get in there.
You're still going to be able to vote, regardless.
But we need to have this.
And there's also other stuff that you can do at LyndalePlan.com.
But Lou is very passionate about this country.
He loved our country.
You all know that.
And every day it was how we could get the word out, keep getting the word out, and to get our great real president back in.
This fall.
And you know, for him to pass on the last day of the Republican convention, I mean, I don't know, he keeps looking down from above and watching, looking down from above and seeing all these things that have unfolded this past week.
And I'm sure he's going to be quite proud when we save our country.
And we're so proud of him.
He's just such an amazing legend.
I'm gonna really miss working with him every day and his friends.
He was such a great friend, so we'll be back in a little bit, everybody.
unidentified
But...
We rejoice when there's no more.
mike lindell
Let's take down the CCP!
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Hello, everyone.
It's Stephen K. Bannon.
I'm here with my friend, the great Stephen K. Bannon.
And I'm here with my friend, the great Stephen K. Bannon.
mike lindell
Hello everyone.
If you're just joining me, I'm Mike Lindell.
I'm filling in for a legend, Steve Bannon, to talk about a legend that passed away, my great friend Lou Dobbs.
And we've talked about him.
One of the things I want to say is when he came over, when I hired him to come over to Frank's speech to our network, I was just so honored, but I was just thinking about it on the break there, and I'm going to so miss his calls.
This is just yesterday when he passed away, and it was just his knowledge of a network.
Remember, he started at CNN, then he went to Fox and helped build CNN back in the day.
And it's the knowledge, but he wanted to get the word out.
He knew that everyone, all the news outlets out there, just on cable TV, everything, the Fox and the CNNs, the world, how they're suppressing the news, especially about our election platforms.
And it was a big concern.
It's like he's been fighting and fighting and fighting, and he fought right up to the end to get the word out to save our country.
He never stopped fighting.
His first show, everybody, it came out at Frank's Beach last January when it aired, was with our great real President Donald Trump.
And get this, his last show was with our great real President Donald Trump.
I'm going to show you a few clips from that first interview.
And I was there with all, it was with those two in the same room and just watching our real President and the great Lou Dobbs talking and being interviewed.
It was just, for me, it was just epic just watching this.
Louis just so skilled in everything he did and to get the news out, to draw it out, and
to draw it out of his host or his guests and just one of the amazing hosts and people I've
ever seen.
But let's go ahead and play this, about five minutes of clips so you guys don't want to
miss this.
lou dobbs
Somebody can dispute them, but the facts are straightforward.
And one of the things that I've always found interesting is no one wants to say to you, re-litigate 2020.
The fact is that this country doesn't come to its senses about how deceitful and crooked these elections are.
And I'm talking about from the local to the presidential offices.
We're going to have real problems.
What I don't see from the Republican Party is a response.
I don't see Ronna McDaniel in the NRC.
I agree with you.
What would you like to see here?
unidentified
I know you've got more than a full plate.
lou dobbs
You're being assailed from every quarter.
But what would you like to see the Republican Party, for which you are the titular head, Do.
donald j trump
So when I won in 2016, I won, I went home, and I watched.
I did my thing.
I did seven rallies on the final day.
Maybe seven rallies in the two final days.
Seven and seven, and not a lot of people can do that.
And they were full, big, beautiful rallies.
Started in Florida, ended up in Iowa.
One was 82 degrees, one was 3 degrees below zero.
It's called pneumonia weather, right?
That's beautiful, because you go from that difference.
But we did a great thing.
And I went home and I watched the election, and I won the election.
I never thought I'd have to watch votes.
You know, that's supposed to be done by states, really, for the federal government, but it's supposed to be done by states, and we're supposed to have people watching it within the party.
And they said they'll never let that happen again.
And I was hearing those statements.
I said, that's a weird statement, right?
And they cheated.
And they cheated at every different level in many different ways.
And we have it all documented.
We have so much documented.
lou dobbs
Much of the country, I think more than half of the country, certainly, wants you to be the president elected in 2024.
How confident are you that you can win?
And overcome all that you must.
Indictments, the full array of the federal government against you, whether it's the federal get-off-the-vote executive action taken by President Biden three months after he was in office.
He meant to weaponize the government from the very beginning.
And you've got a party that is right now working against itself, whether it's in the House of Representatives, whether it is a number of lesser-known personalities, I'll put it that way, who think they should be the nominee.
donald j trump
Even having debates.
I'm up 64 points, and they're having debates.
And they hit me at the debates, although mostly they're hitting each other.
The party should be unified.
The party shouldn't be having debates.
You know, you have a 64-point lead.
The weaponization is interesting because the people get it.
And, you know, I have a big platform.
I can talk to people like you.
I can talk to others.
And when you explain it, they understand.
And my numbers have gone up.
I don't think my numbers would be anywhere near... Who would think this is possible?
Think of it.
You get indicted on ridiculous stuff.
Along with other people that were very decent people.
You see some of the people.
These are high quality, wonderful people.
They've been, you know, they want to destroy these people.
But you get indicted, you explain it to the public, and your vote goes up.
That's never happened before.
If you get indicted, normally you go to the microphone, you announce you're retiring.
You want to spend more time with your family.
You know, it's the standard phrases that they use.
And you want to clear your name.
My numbers have gone through the roof because people see it's a hoax.
Just like Russia, Russia, Russia was a hoax.
You were the first one to see that.
You were a small group of people knew the Russia, Russia, Russia thing was a hoax.
And if we had A strong attorney general, instead of a man that was petrified, he would have done something about it.
Maybe you can still do something about it.
You know, you do have a six-year statute of limitations.
What other countries have done to us, and now with this all-electric mandate, all of those cars are going to be made in China.
They're not going to be made here.
They're going to be made in China.
The all-electric car.
They don't go far, and they cost so much.
You know, it's very simple.
Somebody said, well, should we make it more complex?
You don't have to.
They don't go far.
And they cost too much.
If you want to take a very short trip, it's nice.
But if you want to go, like, beyond the state line, without having to get a charge for two and a half hours, it's so crazy what they're doing.
They're destroying our country.
lou dobbs
They're destroying the country.
I think a lot of people have that sense.
I know about half the population has that sense.
Yeah.
And there are people in this country, a lot of people, good, strong, healthy families that are fighting against these policies and their effects on middle America.
You were the president who made the Republican Party the party of the working man and woman in this country, the American family.
Give us your sense of what you will do to restore primacy to the forgotten men and women of this country who right now are fighting for their economic and their real survival.
unidentified
So let me just say one thing about that.
mike lindell
Well, there you have it.
That interview, you can actually see that interview over at frankspeech.com.
You know, the, uh, but you just see with the way Lou was in interviews, he's just a, he was just an absolute legend and, uh, we're going to miss him.
But one of the things we can do is keep supporting what he was all about.
And that was securing our elections and saving our country.
And I really encourage all of you, if you go to lyndaleplan.com, get over there, help us out.
Uh, we've got, we've come this far, we've got to finish this job.
We can use your help there too.
I can donate there, you can help us out.
We've got to get this plan and secure our election platforms.
You know, our great real president, everybody is doing everything he can,
everything.
He's out there campaigning after an assassination attempt.
He's doing a rally tomorrow in Michigan.
And it's just amazing.
I mean, he's a fighter like no other.
Lou is a fighter.
He fought till the very end.
He did a show just a week and a half ago and he was in very bad health there.
It was about two weeks ago now with our great real president.
And we when we talked, he says, you know, Mike, if I you know, he really we really believed that he was going to get
well.
But he he said, you know, if something happened, he's keep going.
So I want to thank you guys all for supporting Lindell plan dot com and going there and really and really learning
about it and spreading it out.

joe scarborough
Williamson writes In response to my recent piece on howling moonbat Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lou Dobbs sneers.
unidentified
Who reads N.R.?
joe scarborough
Well, Lou, since you raised the question, I'll answer it.
You do.
We both know this.
We know this because we used to discuss it off and back when you had a Fox business show and I was a frequent guest on it at your invitation.
Let's remember, never at my request, I don't think your memory is failing you, Lou.
I think the problem is that you are a coward.
You were so terrified of your audience that you're willing to let them tell them anything they want to hear, follow them down any ridiculous rabbit hole, pretend to be something that you aren't.
You're a guy who went to Harvard and lives on an equestrian estate in New Jersey, Lou!
lou dobbs
It's stunning to me that he decided to pick on this helpless old fella sitting out here on the farm in northwest Jersey, undisclosed location.
But I'll take a mental exam if he'd like, a cognitive test, and we can just kind of rack up the results.
We'll do a competition.
steve bannon
But here's why it happened.
And I actually think, I don't know if you said in your podcast, you said it on here, Who reads National Review?
The point is, the National Review has always been the praetorian guard for the corporatist donor class, the blue blazer and khaki in the Republican Party.
And you weren't just talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene.
You've been after those guys for years.
And the downturn in the economy we just saw, as we said, 2.4 percent of that was driven by the trade deficit.
That you have been hammering and hammering and hammering for decades.
Why do you go after the National Review?
Let's get to the heart of, not the smears and the attacks, but what the reality.
Why does Lou Jobs say, who cares of who reads the National Review, sir?
lou dobbs
Those are people who are irrelevant to the direction of this country.
They are a problem.
They're no part of the solution.
And they're a bunch of effete elites, globalist all, libertarians many.
And I really am not interested in irresponsibility and political philosophy, nor am I interested in centralized command authority and authoritarianism, which the corporatists represent.
So, that's why they have a circulation of probably, what, 40, 50,000?
It's a vanity publication.
And they have, frankly, between you and me, Steve, I don't want to say this out loud, they have no reason to be vain about anything.
Their intellectual, their original thinking is minute, and their contributions to the public debate are zero.
Think of the last thing that the National Review put forward.
Oh, I remember.
Never Trumpism.
How did that work out for them?
You know, the Weekly Standard is blown up, and with it, Bill Kristol.
The vanity publications are having a bit of a struggle now, don't you think?
steve bannon
Lou, you've been at the forefront for 20, 30, 40 years talking about trade and how important trade is.
Seeing the numbers that just came out.
I mean, the Morning Meek, it doesn't matter.
Morning Joe, it's the conventional wisdom.
Always wrong.
And they're sitting there going, this is unprecedented, unexpected.
No, it's not unexpected, Joe.
If you and the clowns that run that show watch War Room, we've talked about this for Months and months and months it was coming.
Lou, how serious a situation we have here?
You just heard Cortese hit another 40-year high today on inflation.
Stock market worst month since 2008.
Lou, how big a jam do we have ourselves in right now, sir?
lou dobbs
It's a big jam, and it's getting worse, as you know.
But to everyone, I want to put this in some context.
We now are moving toward a confluence of really difficult issues, and I think some wrong-headed policy prospects are certainly in view.
Not only are we looking at inflation that is without question runaway inflation now, and it is rising to hyperinflation levels, We're looking at a good part of the market, particularly in technology that is in bear market territory.
We are looking at a Wall Street cadre that is trying to move investor money toward China rather than to the U.S.
in terms of capital investment, in terms of building out infrastructure with private money.
It's a very difficult time because we really have a disequilibrium within the market.
I'm talking about the capital markets.
The yields on the Treasuries are indicating flashing red lights right now.
We have also, though, a balance, a little bit, that's been restored in terms of the inverted yield curve.
But this coming week, we're going to hear from the Federal Reserve.
Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Fed, is going to have another opportunity to screw things up.
We do have an advantage over the last time he screwed things up, and that is at least he's following the markets, the capital markets, rather than trying to lead them.
I hope that he has the sense to forestall any hike at this point.
And I know that a lot of the Wall Street crowd that is out there may just have a fit about that.
But this is not the time when we have this much uncertainty, this many cross-currents in our economy and our markets, to start playing central banker.
Because they really don't have yet the experience with that institution, this current leadership team, to take it on, in my judgment.
And certainly the commercial bankers aren't going to be of much help in looking for counsel.
So I would ask that they forestall any move.
They're talking about doing a half point.
And that would be, I think, a terrible signal.
And I think it would have perhaps, well, it would be, in my opinion, it would be a trigger to the onset of recession.
And that is something we do not need at this point.
steve bannon
Lou, how do people, particularly the Morning Joe crowd, Morning Mika, how do they get to, and Kevin Williamson, how do they get to your podcast, how do they get to all your content, brother?
lou dobbs
Well, you know, I was just thinking, maybe they'd like to, well, anyway, I'll just give you the direct answer.
They're being snide and comparative in it.
The fact is, our little podcast is The Great America Show.
It's with me helping out.
And we're at every podcast platform there is, and we are very thankful for the audience we have, and would invite all of Micah and Joe's audience to come over and join us.
unidentified
All 50,000.
steve bannon
All 50,000 readers of The Natural Review.
lou dobbs
It is.
Right now they're both, they're both vanity publications, if you will.
And I just, I'm remarked, I find it just remarkable that they would be so arrogant and go after a helpless old fellow like me sitting on his farm, patting on the horses and watching the eagles fly.
And then, and then, after all of that, we would find out That they don't have an audience.
They've never approached Fox and Friends, for example.
It's just, it's a vanity publication.
steve bannon
Lou Dobbs.
Lou Dobbs.
Your assessment right now of the one person that stood in the breach to turn this madness around, that was Donald J. Trump, who really took All the great... I mean, you warned America about this in the 80s, that the manufacturing industrial base was being shipped overseas, and then it obviously metastasized with Laos and China into the most favored nation, into the World Trade Organization, with no caveats whatsoever, and then we shipped all of our best manufacturing jobs over there.
What's your assessment of Trump right now?
The policies, the man, and the politics, sir?
lou dobbs
Interestingly, he is the only candidate Who is talking about our likely candidate, who is talking about what he governed as, and that is talking about the populism that is necessary to drive this country.
We are still the great constitutional republic.
The consent of the government, the consent of the governed is required despite all the Biden administration, the Obama administration before it.
As I have said, we are a country right now with one champion for the working man and woman and their families, and that is Donald Trump.
And, you know, despite every effort of the left wing, legacy, corporatist media, however you want to style them, 95% of the media, in other words, is trying to destroy Donald Trump.
The American people in poll after poll after poll now, he is not only in resurgence, he is rising to new levels, in my opinion, of popularity because we have seen clearly what Biden is and is not.
Most importantly, we have seen as well what his administration can and cannot do.
And there is nothing they do well in terms of serving the national interest, serving the American people.
It is a disaster.
We've just gotten word that there was another huge train derailment up in North Dakota.
70 cars, hazardous materials.
This is an infrastructure that is falling apart.
But it's falling apart despite bills that Joe Biden promised would be effective and instead he puts it out as a bailout for blue state budgets that are completely underwater and probably not retrievable at this point anyway.
We're looking at a nation right now that has no leaders who are effective.
It has no managers in government who are effective.
I mean, look at his appointees.
FAA directors who, frankly, can't tell you what's up and what's down.
We've got others who don't know how to spell woman, let alone define it.
These are characters And he's putting them forward with a straight face and relying entirely upon a Senate that is so woke that it will actually say, good, that's fine, terrific, welcome to government, because we're no better, say the senators, and they're right.
steve bannon
This populism of Trump, have you ever in your, you've been doing this and been one of the top observers and commentators and analysts of this for 40 or 50 years, have you ever seen the correlation of forces against Trump to stop him on his return to the White House, sir?
lou dobbs
Certainly the Russian hoaxes that began and what we didn't understand was going on at least initially.
That was pretty powerful stuff.
An FBI, a Department of Justice aligned with the Democratic Party and the deep state and the corporatists who feared mightily the populist conservative Donald Trump.
They threw everything at him.
What we're witnessing now is a holistic assault on him.
Five jurisdictions are assaulting him in court.
Lawfare is afire right now trying to stop him because they're afraid of him.
They don't have any idea how to stop him, so they're throwing everything they can at him.
It's laughable to watch the New York Times, the Washington Post, MSNBC, all of the cable networks and every other outlet Trying to mock him, to define him, and to destroy him.
And the result is up another 20 points in the polls.
I truly believe Elon Musk had it right.
If Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA, is a big enough fool to indict Trump, I believe that
he assures his election in 2024.
unidentified
He's a big enough fool to indict Trump.
We will fight till they're all gone!
We rejoice when there is no more!
Let's take down the C.C.P.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
steve bannon
Lou, Victor Orban took on Soros and all comers yesterday.
He took on his left in his country, the international left, the international media, George Soros and all the operations he funds.
And he actually threw Zelensky in there too.
NATO and Brussels, particularly Brussels, and the party of Davos.
What is the, I've been saying, hey, as Brexit in June of 16 was to the Trump victory in 20, the precursor.
You followed this better than anybody.
Walk us through the importance of Orbán's shattering landslide victory yesterday in Hungary.
lou dobbs
Well, first of all, it was a landslide and that in and of itself was big news to the global elitist publications.
This is just a play on what the United States experiences with nearly every election.
You notice it was a very tight race leading right up to the actual counting of the votes.
And then suddenly the folks decided that Mr. Orban was exactly the right fellow for the exactly right reasons in the right place.
And all of the nonsense about he was an acolyte and chief sponsor of Putin-Russia just all washed to the side.
He's talking about running a highly successful economy, a nation that is stable and orderly and progressing, and what more could you ask for?
And by the way, now that I've said that, you and I both know that on every absurdist website and news outlet, I am now pro-Orban, and that by extension makes me pro-Russian and pro-invasion.
I mean, it's madness.
And to see the reluctance with which American political analysts deal with this, Steve, it's as if there's a sulfuric acid attached to every aspect of the debate.
The debate is a A sovereign nation has made a choice about its leader and it didn't comport to the urgings, to the value structure, the architecture of the world order that is dominated by globalist elites still.
And I think part of the reason may be Soros and his friends were just a little distracted by the invasion in Ukraine and the fact that there does seem to be a new world order shaping.
steve bannon
Lou, you're the first to warn this country back 30, 40 years ago about the rise of China, what it was going to mean to working class people and manufacturing jobs.
Your other was the invasion, the open borders situation, unlimited illegal immigration.
You're the first guy to go off the Chamber of Commerce.
Title 42 is being taken off May 23rd.
We now know, and Todd Benzman just sent me some analysis, I think 40,000 cubits.
There's literally hundreds of thousands of people ready to come across immediately.
They're talking about maybe as many five or, if it's 18,000 a day, five or six million.
lou dobbs
Is this?
steve bannon
The destruction of the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and self-determination of the American Republic, sir.
lou dobbs
I think it will further that.
I think that process is well underway.
And while America slumbers, and particularly our middle class working men and women, their families pay little attention because they are, after all, caught up in trying to make ends meet, working, trying to stay up with at least the shadow of inflation as it rises higher and higher.
In this country.
Two million illegal immigrants coming in.
We learned that the charter aircraft carrying illegal immigrants are already bringing in, resumed their flights.
It is definitely that, Steve.
And it is directed.
This is not an accident.
And people have to quit talking about, you know, this migration imperative.
It is, in point of fact, a decision by this president and all who in the cabal govern him to render this country absolutely helpless against an onslaught Of illegal immigrants, refugees, and the madness of it all is that these people are coming in from countries all over the world.
They're unvetted.
They don't have medical exams.
But meanwhile, New York has to reinstate mandates for the virus.
Really?
And the American people are so stupid.
They can't understand the disconnects, the contradictions in all of this.
I think it's just a moment of disassociation, as the psychiatrists would call it, in this country.
First, in the part of the Marxist Democratic Party.
Secondly, the Marxist corporate operated and owned media in this country, reinforcing all of the parameters of the psychotic episode that the rest of us are being...
steve bannon
We talked about your assessment of Biden's handling of things in the last couple of crises, but you specifically brought up this in the capital of California, Sacramento, big shootout last night, dead people everywhere, and Biden immediately knee-jerk, it's gun control.
What's your assessment of how Biden's handling all of that?
lou dobbs
Well, first of all, here's a man who is mentally impaired.
I'm not going to get into a clinical diagnosis.
I'm not qualified, but I can tell you he's mentally impaired.
And no one wants to talk about it.
There is a wall of silence around it in the corporate-owned media.
Anyone who raises it, of course, is immediately shunned and everyone trying to put them in sackcloth and ashes for their sins.
This man is mentally impaired and he is reflexively responding to a shooting in which we're talking about two dozen people at least six of them dead and two blocks from the state capitol.
A democratic held state capital, a democratic legislature, a democratic governor, a democratic mayor in Sacramento.
And suddenly his prescription is, let's take away citizen rights, let's create more government control over American lives, which is what this Marxist authoritarian government and political party is intent upon.
And it's just another replay and they're supposed to be taken seriously.
No questions about what the motivation was for the shooting.
Was it racial?
Was it gang related?
Was it the cartels?
Was it politics?
And what is What is going on in that moment that this many people could be shot and lose their lives?
None of that was of any import to this president, nor did he take note of the fact that city after city after city, Democratic led this year are setting records in gun violence, in knife violence, Criminality of all forms.
It's a disgusting moment in our history.
