Episode 5140: Robson Drops Out Of AZ Governor Race; CCP Interference In The US
Karen Robeson’s exit from Arizona’s 2024 governor race—citing a divisive GOP primary—leaves Andy Biggs as Trump-endorsed frontrunner, blaming Katie Hobbs for economic decline and California-level costs. Meanwhile, Michael Kunzler’s All-Family Pharmacy slashes prices on ivermectin, NAD+, and other contested treatments via allfamilypharmacy.com/backslash-Bannon, bypassing personal doctors. Peter Schweitzer’s The Invisible Coup reveals CCP-linked figures like Neville Roy Singham funding U.S. unrest, with agencies allegedly failing to act, while Bannon warns of elite collusion and urges accountability, tying it to broader institutional threats.

And the people that deserve the credit are the residents of Minneapolis.
It's the 435,000 people.
It's the tens of thousands of people that have been protesting peacefully in the streets, that have been standing up for their neighbors, getting groceries to people that are terrified to go outside.
And I'm sure there is going to be relief because undoubtedly this has caused great destruction and catastrophe in our city.
Two people tragically got killed.
And in addition to that, we've had small local businesses that have shut down.
They're losing between 10 and 20 million dollars collectively every single week.
And while this will be a road back, what I can tell you is that our city is going to show the same kind of resilience and grit that you've seen these last couple of months during this Operation Metro surge.
I want to state just up front and on the record: what we heard today and what we've seen over the last few days for me proves that this incursion into your state was an unmitigated failure.
It was an abject dereliction of responsibility and duty by this administration.
And the fact that representatives like yourself, the mayor, and the governor, stood the ground is very, very important for the people to understand as they also took to the streets to make it very clear they did not want ICE or Tom Holman or anybody else there.
So I understand that there's this cautious optimism out there.
But then you have the administration, Mr. Holman, saying, oh, don't worry, like cockroaches, we're going somewhere else.
You think you may have run us out of here.
Now we're going to go someplace else.
What can you warn people about a potential infestation of ICE and Tom Holman and others coming into their jurisdictions and how they should prepare themselves and gird themselves for what will be a fight ahead?
And I think that you kind of present the mixed emotions, the conflict of today for us because we are celebrating today in Minneapolis.
We are celebrating the fact that this authoritarian invasion of mass secret police of basically a paramilitary force couldn't stand up to the resilience and resistance and unity of our community.
And so we are savoring the sweetness of that today.
And we are hoping that, you know, the thousands of families whose kids aren't going to school, the people who are skipping medical appointments, you know, moms who are talking about having birthing at home without attendance are able to fully move back into their lives today.
And we want them to feel that relief and that sweetness of the withdrawal.
I think what you saw is you saw a federal government and an administration that thought that they were going to break the people of Minneapolis down.
They thought that we were going to back down and sort of kowtow to whatever it is that they were looking to get done, not just locally in Minneapolis, but nationwide.
They were looking to implement a national agenda based on coercing us to change local policy.
And here's the thing: we didn't.
The people of Minneapolis stood up.
They stood up for their neighbors.
They loved on each other.
And I think that's the kind of patriotism that is ultimately going to get us through this.
We are always fighting on our back foot because no one will ever pick up the good stories that we do.
You know, we joke all the time that one of the major criminal organizations we fight, they have better playbooks than we do when it comes to making ICE look bad.
Two, talking about journalists as a criminal enterprise, right?
The enemy, that is language that is coded.
It tells and signals to people who don't like the reporters already who's allowed to be beat up, who's allowed to be attacked and yelled at.
But also it tells you how this administration thinks about accountability, right?
To be very clear, the people who recorded both the shooting of Alex of Predi and of Renee Good, those were people who were just there.
They weren't reporters.
The video that came from that were not reporters.
And what the representative has just been talking about, what we've seen in Minnesota, is normal people doing most of the covering of what's happening.
So he's not just upset at the media, right?
And upset at reporters like me and others who hope for accountability in this country.
He's also mad at the American people who do the same thing, who pull out their phones and record the things that they feel like this administration is doing to them, to their communities.
And I think it tells you everything you need to know about powerful people when their biggest concern is being held accountable by the people that pay their bills.

Your office, among other offices, were subpoenaed by the federal, by the Justice Department in the course of what they say is a criminal investigation.
Many people saw that as obviously pretextual as a form of intimidation.
Would you have any updates on the status of said investigation?
What I will say is never in a million years would I think that a great American city, the city that I love in Minneapolis, would be invaded by our own federal government.
Never in a million years would I thought I would see constitutional rights stripped away.
And I certainly never thought that I was going to get investigated by the Department of Justice, a department that, at least historically, I have had great respect for under both Republican and Democratic administrations.
But here's the thing.
It's not about having committed a crime or something.
It is about intimidation.
It is about bullying people and communities to get them to back down.
Here's the thing.
In Minneapolis, we're not going to be intimidated.
I'm not going to be intimidated.
We're going to stand up for our neighbors.
And thankfully, not because of me, but because of the tens of thousands of people that have been standing up for our collective family, I think they're the big reason ultimately that they decided to shift bases here and end Operation Metro Search.
The federal judge has blocked the Pentagon from punishing Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona for participating in a video reminding service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been pursuing steps to reduce the senator and retired Navy captain's rank and pay over that video.
But the judge, a nominee of President George W. Bush, said those actions violate Kelly's First Amendment rights.
Quote, this court has all it needs to conclude that defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees.
I think the lawyers who walked into the grand jury with that case are doing the bidding of superiors.
They are doing the work of political appointees for political purposes.
Maybe that's performative, maybe it's prosecutorial, maybe it's some of both, but it is all about what they are being told to do and not at all about the law, not at all about democracy, not at all about our system of government.
unidentified
And we begin with breaking political news involving the race for Arizona governor.
Republican Karen Taylor Robeson is out.
She previously ran for governor in 2022, but lost the Republican primary to Kerry Lake.
Robeson was seen as a formidable candidate because of her ability to fund her own campaign.
This July, she was set to face Republican Congressman Andy Biggs and David Schweikert in the Republican primary.
In a statement, Robeson said, quote, we cannot afford a divisive Republican primary that drains resources and turns into months of intra-party attacks.
It only weakens our conservative cause and gives the left exactly what they want.
It's Friday, 13 February in the year of World War II026.
Remember, after the, you know, the beginning of the second term, we had all the backup of the four years in the wilderness with CRA and Stephen Miller's America First Law and Brooks Rollins America First Policy Institute.
And of course, Mark Meadows and the team over at CPI Inheritage Project 2025 that had all the CRs, had all the Executive orders.
He had Russ vote coming in, even had, you know, although I was not a big fan of the effort because I thought it was misplaced, you had to doge all of it.
And then the second phase of that was to seize the institutions and do it with urgency.
Right now, you're seeing the institutions, whether that institutions are the Senate, whether this is radical judiciary, the defense contractors, they're trying to encircle the White House and President Trump.
We're going to get into all this this morning.
But the breaking news out of Arizona, we have the great Andy Biggs by phone, Congressman Biggs.
Congressman Biggs, kind of a shocking development in the Arizona Republican primary, which is we're in Texas, the Texas Senate primary and the Arizona governor's race are the two top races of this cycle.
Karen Robeson stepped out, or at least put it on hiatus yesterday.
I was very pleasantly surprised that I didn't know that was going to happen, but it just leaves me as the only, you know, Donald Trump, President Trump, and Charlie Kirkenberg's candidate in the race.
And I have a substantial lead.
And she said something really classy in there.
She said it's time basically to clear the field and let's win this against Katie Hobbs.
And I think she's right.
And I was grateful for that comment.
And that's who I'm focusing on, Steve, is beating Katie Hobbs.
One of the top voter integrity folks in the country.
He is now running for Congress.
Chuck Gray is going to join us here momentarily.
Andy Biggs, we got a packed show.
Also, going to go to Fort Bragg.
The president's going down today to thank the troops that were part of that special forces operation in Venezuela.
So we're packed wall to wall today.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
Make sure to take out your phone, find out why gold is a hedge.
Maybe crypto hasn't been, but gold has.
Take your phone out and text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N-989898.
Get the ultimate guide.
It's no obligations.
Totally free.
And you get access to Philip Patrick, who is also going to be in the show this morning in the second hour to talk about gold and the price of gold and where gold may be heading.
Short break, Congressman Andy Biggs on the other side.
I know the audience, we do those cold opens because we curate all this other news that you would never see.
We understand it's torture.
And then we always go out in the A-block now, at least for a while, with Bruce Springsteen, streets of Minneapolis.
We do follow it with Natasha Owens, the boss, but we got to torture.
You got to make sure you're hard and tough coming out of the A-block.
Andy Biggs, as you know, when you announced you're going to run for governor, I spent a long time saying, Andy, Congressman Biggs, you're one of the few good guys we got to keep you.
And you told me at the time, you said, Steve, I think where we're going to go is that this republic is going to have to be saved really at the state level to buck up what's happening at the federal government.
Walk me through that because I think given what happened in the Save America Act, the senators just having a cursory vote and then leaving for Munich to the security conference to pall around with the globalist, people are sitting here going, What are we doing?
I've come to the conclusion that Congress is irredeemable with a short of an act of God.
Okay.
And so if you're going to say that the states, if you had enough governors that were going to honor and respect the 10th Amendment and push back on the feds on everything from mandates to policy to these funding,
these massive takings of property within states, if the states were actually to push back and make the assertion of their sovereign integrity, it seems to me that's the way that we're going to save it because the spending is, you know, you got spending hawks like myself, and there's probably 15.
There's a lot of people who talk a good game, but there's really very few people who are willing to go in there and say we got to control spending, for instance.
That we have to shrink this federal bureaucracy, for instance.
They talk about it, but think about this.
You start talking about, let's say, defense.
They've never passed an audit.
And you know what they tell me?
Oh, we need to give them more money.
Wait a second.
They've never even passed the audit.
Why are we giving them more money?
And it just rolls that way.
And it's out of control at the federal level.
So that's why I think the states, if this country is going to be saved and be a long-lasting empire of freedom, a nation that is liberty-minded, that people can actually fulfill the measure of their creation from God, then it's going to be the states.
Well, the way it works is policy-wise, Katie's been disastrous for the state.
We've gone from fourth to 47th in job creation.
She's mismanaged our water.
And you know, Steve, you know, Arizona really well.
And you got to have water.
You got to have water to live.
You got to have water to grow.
And they've mismanaged that.
They've killed the American dream in Arizona.
The only place that has homes more expensive than us is the Sanctuary City bubbles and California altogether.
And we've got to, and that's because of the policy she's put in place in a very, very short time.
And so I want to restore the American dream.
And the way you restore the American dream is you make housing more affordable.
You make everything more affordable.
And you get the government out of the way so that creative entrepreneurial spirit, independent spirit of Arizona will go forward.
And Arizona will become, we're on our way to becoming, if we had a governor that would foster this, we would become the technological innovator of the world, the entire world.
And that's where we're going to go.
And we're going to get the government out of people's lives.
Yeah, if you go to biggforzona.com, biggsforrizona.com, you spell out for F-O-R, Biggforzona.com, you can actually get there and you'll have access to all of everything that we have.
Congressman Biggs, I know you get a big engagement this morning, a big event.
Get to it, and we'll chat later.
Congressman Andy Biggs looks like at the forefront of this all-important, I think this Texas Senate primary in the Republican Party and the Arizona governors were the two of the biggest ones.
Let's go to Fort Bragg, home of the 82nd Airborne.
Our own David Zeer is there.
David, the commander-in-chief is coming down today to address the troops that serve so valiantly all over the world.
So Trump will be here with Flotus as well at about 1.30.
It'll be a relatively quick ceremony here.
He's going to greet and meet with special operators who participated in Operation Absolute Resolved.
You know, JSOC, Delta Force, SEAL teams participated.
The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, the Night Stalkers, penetrated Venezuelan airspace undetected, jamming their stuff in a mission that was just a little over two hours.
An extraordinary operation.
HEGS said it was the most sophisticated military operation in history here.
And the troops on the ground here say Fort Bragg is a place where the 82nd Airborne could be anywhere in 18 hours.
And when the president dials 911, the 82nd Airborne answers.
And we're just outside the paratrooper training facility here with the mock door set up and the fake static lines.
And on the other side of the building where Trump's going to speak is the flight line where they load up to jump out of our C-17s and our C-130s here.
But it's a pretty incredible Delta Force established almost 50 years ago, has been shrouded in secrecy, participated in this Venezuela capture of Nicholas Maduro and his wife.
Just an incredible operation here.
And Fort Bragg, 250 square miles, 50,000 troops, 200,000 people depend on the operations that go on on this base.
And it's adjoining Pope Air Force Base, now known as Pope Field, and pretty much a joint military operation that can get and globally military airlift our paratroopers any in anywhere in the world in less than a day.
Important day here.
We're also home to the 18th Airborne here, the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, and, you know, JSOC and SOCOM, SOCOM, which was SOCOM, I'm sorry, which was formed, you know, after Desert 1 and Operation Eagle Claw that was aborted.
We had the crash in the desert in Iran, and we lost those SEALs in Grenada.
So now we can dip into any of the services, put the teams together necessary to take on these incredible missions.
1:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and Melania Trump is going to speak as well.
Supposedly, she has an announcement to make.
I'm not sure the content of that, but they're off to Mar-a-Lago right after this.
But an important stop to honor these guys because nobody could carry out these operations across the globe like they can here at Fort Bragg and Fort Campbell in Kentucky.
Gold is up, it's down around 5,000, right, from 1,000.
It's not the price, it's the process.
With an appropriate, what is it, a certified purchase, a qualifying purchase?
That's my phrase, a qualifying purchase.
You get a free edition, the Patriots edition, of the end of the dollar empire.
We started this, what, five years ago in 2021, I think it was, to basically walk you through capital markets, make sure you understood the process of why gold has been a hedge for 5,000 years in mankind's history.
So with this is all about massive voter suppression, voter suppression at a national level.
You know, as a U.S. attorney, I was used to looking at efforts to suppress the vote locally by county in smaller numbers.
When statewide ID acts became popular following the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby County versus Holder, which gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, we saw efforts to make it more difficult for people to vote in certain states like Alabama and Arizona.
Now we're watching Donald Trump try to do it on a national level.
He can read the polls just like we can.
He knows that his party is underwater for the midterm elections and perhaps beyond.
So this is nothing more than an election, an effort to let politicians choose their voters rather than to let voters elect their representatives.
Well, the Save America Act is so important, proof of citizenship for registering to vote and voter ID.
Two years in a row, this passed the U.S. House and the Senate has refused to take a vote on it.
Just a lot of momentum over the last few weeks.
Voter ID got added to the Save America Act and the U.S. House repassed the bill with voter ID in there in addition to proof of citizenship for registering to vote.
These are important issues that over 90% of Americans support.
Wyoming has been at the forefront of implementing both of these reforms.
We were the first state in the nation to have an ironclad proof of citizenship for registering to vote requirement.
And yes, testified this week at the U.S. Congress about how important it is how these bills are implementable and how out of control the radical left is in their wrong narrative about these bills.
We have to continue to stand for the truth on the fact that these are implementable, people want them, and they're consistent with advancing common sense election integrity across our country.
Proof of citizenship for registering to vote, banning rain choice voting, banning third-party interference in our elections, commonly called Zuckbucks, all of those reforms we got done.
And that's also, there's another companion bill called the MEGA Act that Chairman Brian Style, the House Admin Committee, is putting forward in the House.
So we're getting a lot of movement in the U.S. Congress on these baseline measures that are consistent with what the federal government has done with NVRA and HAVA that passed in the 90s and early 2000s.
So we need to advance these baseline election integrity measures.
And that's why I'm running for Congress.
One of the many reasons is that I think we need to get this across the finish line nationwide.
And the reality is getting these measures through the Congress is the only way we're going to get these things done in many of the blue states where there is just that the radical left has taken control of their state legislatures.
So All-Family Pharmacy is a small business, family-owned.
The name just so happens to match obviously what we are as a family.
But, you know, All Family Pharmacy works with licensed physicians.
They're licensed in every state.
We're licensed in about 45 states.
We have a few pending.
Obviously, we all know which one is probably the main one that's pending.
California, the most difficult state to always work with.
But we came up with 47 just because we love the direction that America's going in right now.
Things are getting better for people.
Business is picking up.
Ivermectin sales are picking up consistently.
People are becoming more comfortable purchasing the medication without the repercussions of their doctor or the regulators within their state.
So we feel like this holiday weekend is a great time for people to take advantage of 47% off medications like ivermectin, mabendazo, hydroxychloroquine.
And we also decided to throw in a couple of the biohacking drugs, NAD Plus, which is the battery that runs your cells.
It's a wonderful, wonderful supplement to try.
If you have not tried it and you do not have cancer or not have had cancer in the past, it is something I highly suggest for everyone, even in flu season.
This will beat the COVID fatigue that you get from long COVID.
It'll beat the flu fatigue after five days of laying in bed, you know, wondering, should I have gotten vaccinated?
Should I have not gotten vaccinated?
We have medications and supplements that are going to make you forget about all these vaccines that don't work anymore.
And I think that's the main purpose of this sale: to promote medications that we feel work, get people comfortable with them, let them try them in a safe and effective manner.
And then, you know, hopefully they'll continue purchasing them down the line.
You know, medical freedom and informed consent, it's just not about big pharma.
It's also about the distribution system.
I mean, the distribution system really has an iron grip on this.
This is what you guys, why we found it so fascinating of what you as an entrepreneur were trying to break.
Just I want to make sure people let's go through the steps because this is going to be, you know, particularly for guys like me and the boomer generation, right?
This court has all it needs to conclude that defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees.
Did Mika just say the Dylan song, you don't need, because we're playing the Bruce Springsteen song to drive you nuts today.
Of course, we counter that with Natasha Owens' hit that was the number one hit of The Boss, which is her counter to the streets of Minneapolis.
Did Morning Mika just say you don't need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind blows?
I don't want to bring up for those of us of a certain age that that was the organizing principle behind the Weathermen, which were a radical revolutionary group that deployed violence.
I find it quite odd that Morning Joe is sending, you could not signal, not noise more than that, these radicals in the streets.
And this is what we're talking about.
This is an institutional blowback.
I want to bring in Forrest from the new federal state.
Peter Schweitzer's book, The Invisible Coup, is three weeks in a row, folks.
As great as Peter Schweitzer is, he's never had a book like this.
Three weeks in a row, New York Times' number one bestseller.
Remember, they always suppressed the counter, the conservative books.
The Invisible Coup, how American elites and foreign powers use immigration as a weapon.
The lead villain here, as bad as Mexico is, and it's bad, the lead villain is the Chinese Communist Party.
Peter Schweitzer says straight out, the Chinese Communist Party is trying to use mass immigration as a weapon in unrestricted warfare to destroy the United States from within.
Forrest, there's a certain individual I don't think we've highlighted enough, and I've asked you guys to go do some research and talk about it.
This individual, supposedly American citizen, although lives in Shanghai, is bigger than Source, bigger than the guy from Switzerland in funding these groups that have taken to the streets of places like Minneapolis and Los Angeles and Chicago.
These are not just interested, these are not good government civilians.
These are not citizens in these states or just, oh, well, I think I've got a better idea than President Trump has.
This is an organized color revolution in the streets of America.
And let's be brutally frank.
Right now, they may be winning.
I think we withdrew the ICE, we're withdrawing ICE from Minneapolis.
So, Forrest, tell us, why is a guy living in Shanghai that has very close purported ties to the Shanghai military intelligence group and Bruno Wu and that whole crowd, why is he writing checks for a revolution in the streets of the United States of America, sir?
Okay, thank you so much, Steve, for me coming back.
This guy's name, his name is Neville Roy Singham.
Neville Roy Singham.
He's living in Shanghai.
You asked a very key question: why Shanghai?
Why not Moscow?
Why not Taiwan?
Why not Pynyang?
Because you know what?
That's where Bruno Wu is.
That's where CCP is, because that's a CCP-controlled state power who can provide him everything he wants, the cover and the financial channels to funnel the money into this country.
And he's working with the CCP, try to destroy this country from within.
That's why he's living in Shanghai.
That's why he's working with the Chinese Communist Party.
I believe those guys, because CCP founded them, CCP have a million ways to put them into the U.S.
This is a difference between the massive immigrant Peter was talking about.
CCP used those elite, elite, again, it's not regular people, a common law immigrant into this country.
CCP utilized those elites in the US and as well as like Bruno Wu to compromise, come into this country using their financial channels, their international connections to corrupt individuals in this country, to infiltrate the institutes in this country.
Bruno Nguu's wife, Yanglan, she's graduated from Colombia, where I graduate.
She graduated from CEPA.
where she working was all the media.
She almost interviewed every famous guy in the whole world.
Think about it.
How many people was compromised, corrupted by those two couple?
So that's why these people are very dangerous.
All the elites, whether it's Chinese elites used by CCP or the elite in the US.
And everybody knows about this.
We do need actions against those people.
Miles used to say follow the money, follow the PP.
PP means here reference to the sexual activities.
And I would like to add follow through with the actions because look at it.
We don't have actions against those peoples who sell out the US, U.S. and who sell out this country.
