On today's show, Stephen K. Bannon is joined by Rachel Maddow and Rachel Goodman to discuss the latest in the Russia-gate scandal, and what it means for the 2020 election. Plus, a look at the latest poll numbers on the Democratic candidates, and how they match up with each other.
00:03:21.000And that is a creed that Donald Trump does not understand.
00:03:25.000That is a creed that Stephen Miller does not understand.
00:03:29.000That is a creed that people are that talk about exclusion don't understand.
00:03:35.000That is that is a creed that Silicon Valley certainly understands because America dominates the world in tech because of immigrants and because of people whose parents immigrated here.
00:03:57.000Once again, immigration comes in and makes America stronger.
00:04:02.000As a few hours ago, Trump ally Steve Bannon is a free man released from prison just days before Election Day.
00:04:08.000Bannon served a 120 day federal sentence for contempt of Congress charges after refusing to comply with the subpoena from the House Select Committee that investigated the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
00:04:20.000And the timing of his release could not be more critical.
00:04:23.000The New York Times put it this way, quote, Bannon's release from prison will unleash an agitator into a heated campaign.
00:04:30.000Third election in a row in which Russia has tried to interfere to try to get Trump into the White House.
00:04:35.000How do you assess the magnitude and the type of interference they're attempting this year compared to what they've done in his previous two elections?
00:04:46.000Well, as you said earlier, Rachel, he's he's at it again.
00:04:52.000This time, he's not even trying to hide his his hand and he has far more sophisticated tools.
00:04:57.000You know, his A.I. is better so he can make these fake videos.
00:05:01.000He has done things like spend 10 million dollars trying to buy American influencers and get them parroting his his lines and not even know it's happening.
00:05:12.000But he's also got a brand new, very, very powerful tool, which is Elon Musk and X.
00:05:18.000You know, in 2020, the social media companies worked hard with the U.S. government to try to do content moderation to try to catch this stuff as it was happening.
00:05:28.000But this time we have Elon Musk talking directly to the Kremlin and ensuring that every time the Russians put out something like this, it gets five million views on X before anybody can catch it.
00:05:40.000So it's it's quite dangerous, although I do think the American electorate has gotten more sophisticated and more savvy about this stuff.
00:05:47.000This this just in former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has been released from prison this morning.
00:05:53.000He served four months in the federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, for contempt of Congress in 2022.
00:06:00.000Bannon was convicted on two counts for not complying with the House Select Committee subpoena as part of an investigation into January six.
00:06:07.000Live from New York, the world's financial capital.
00:06:12.000Financial capital. You're in the war room. It's Tuesday, the 29th of October in the year of our Lord.
00:06:18.000Twenty twenty twenty four. We're what six in a wake up away from one of the most important political days in the history of this country.
00:06:25.000But I want to make sure everybody understands something.
00:06:28.000And you see from the great staff here. And I'll talk a little bit about the production team and our co-host.
00:06:34.000And of course, the war room posse, all the great efforts you made so that was next man up.
00:06:39.000And it's now my turn. Right. It's my turn to be next man up as you guys have done such a magnificent job over the last four months.
00:06:46.000Understand something. And this has to be very clear.
00:06:50.000The Democrats and those radicals you just saw on MSNBC and CNN and Joe Scarborough and that entire crowd. Right.
00:06:59.000They had Robert Kagan's wife who brought this entire debacle on Ukraine on us.
00:07:06.000They have no intention of giving up power.
00:07:11.000We have a three phase. And this is why it's so important for this audience.
00:07:16.000You're the backbone of this movement. We have two things we're going to talk about today to get out the vote effort focused on our first phase, which is November 5th.
00:07:26.000Then the second is to make sure that they cannot steal the election with Mark Elias and others of these the nullification project that they're bringing in, which goes from November 5th all the way to Inauguration Day.
00:07:43.000But January 6th being a key part of that we'll talk about in a second.
00:07:47.000The other is the delegitimization process. I have never heard and I think most people would agree the rhetoric that's come out about American citizens calling this audience, not just Donald Trump and not the people around Donald Trump.
00:08:04.000That's bad enough calling us fascist, but calling you fascist saying that that fantastic, that amazing rally in Madison Square Garden that could never be pulled off by Kamala Harris or the Democrats with that energy and people from Tulsi Gabbard to Elon Musk.
00:08:23.000Just the broad cross section you had of American entrepreneurs, Vivek Ramaswamy, you had these powerhouses up there, right?
00:08:32.000And they're trying to smirch that with one influencers kind of throwaway, not funny line.
00:08:38.000I can tell you in coming from and being a political prisoner in a federal prison that the young men in this country that are African-American and Hispanic detest, detest Kamala Harris.
00:08:54.000They detest her. We're going to go into details today and at the press conference of why that's up.
00:08:59.440But we have a chance. To move past race on November 5th, everything, everything, everything we have fought for for so many years is all coming to fruition and we have to have a convergence.
00:09:13.440And my fear is that. Some people, I think, are trying to lean on the shovel, say, look at the polls, these polls and Trump always under polls and he does this.
00:09:24.400This is always Trump's up three or four or five. Hey, maybe that's the case, but that's theoretical right now.
00:09:30.900Reality is is the electorate we bring on November 5th. And that gets back to you. That gets out to get the vote.
00:09:37.720Look, Elon Musk is one of the smartest guys in the world, right, if not the smartest practical engineer in the world.
00:09:45.180Charlie Kirk is incredibly smart. Look where they've put their efforts over the last couple of months.
00:09:50.900Look where Elon Musk wrote one hundred and fifty million dollars worth of checks the last couple of months.
00:09:56.620It is flat out. Get out the vote. And that's where this audience comes.
00:10:01.460Your efforts have been magnificent. The co-hosts that have done this for four hours a day and a couple hours on Saturday and then plus other streaming we've done with Grace and Mo.
00:10:11.980So the incredible thing of these people stepping up is everything to motivate you to make sure that you get out and vote.
00:10:20.200You know, Nancy Pelosi sent me to a federal prison.
00:10:24.140She sent me to a federal prison as a political prisoner to do two things, to make sure that she tried to tamp down the power of this show.
00:10:33.860Right. Tamp down the power of the show. And also to break me, Nancy Pelosi, take out your number two pencil and write this down.
00:10:42.660This show has never been more powerful. The voices behind it have never been more powerful.
00:10:47.580The audience has never been more powerful. And we're going to deliver a knockout blow to your progressive insanity on five November.
00:10:56.000And then we're going to secure the deal after that. And number two, the four months in federal prison not only didn't break me, it empowered me.
00:11:04.740I am more energized and more focused than I've ever been in my entire life.
00:11:09.360And I can see clearly, just like in 2016 and in 2020, exactly what's going on here and what we have to do to defeat it.
00:11:17.980I want to go back through the three phases. Number one is five November.
00:11:21.760Remember, all that matters right now in places like Pennsylvania and in Michigan and in Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, obviously other states.
00:11:32.480But these seven battleground states is to deliver something that that takes us to where Ohio and Florida are today.
00:11:40.260We have to put this beyond their ability to steal it.
00:11:44.220Because don't think for a second by hiring Mark Elias and the gang of thugs around him that they don't look at phase two.
00:11:52.740They understand she can't. Kamala Harris, it's impossible for her to generate any enthusiasm.
00:11:59.540Number one, what she had to do was to focus on one thing and drive the narrative.
00:12:05.040Her politics of joy was too ill-defined. She didn't do it.
00:12:08.940So what did they do last week? They pivoted to night falls on America.
00:12:15.020This is a fascist movement that the people that supported are equivalent to the American German Bund in the 1930s.
00:12:26.140That is a bald-faced lie, and it's a dangerous lie.
00:12:29.960So number one, on November 5th, we have to crush them at the ballot box.
00:12:35.260And there's only one way to do that. The commercials aren't going to do it.
00:12:38.980The only thing that's going to do it is you're putting your shoulder to the wheel.
00:12:42.900The hard work of walking precincts. The hard work of working phone banks.
00:45:52.220Boris is getting ready to go into a meeting of all these lawyers.
00:45:55.320I wanted to have the legal team, the cutting edge, and the real fighters on this because November 5th, we have to drive and converge all our forces on the 5th to maximize ballots and maximize votes.
00:46:37.980The Trump supporters need to continue to show up and vote as early as possible in massive numbers.
00:46:45.920And we need to win this thing decisively on November 5th by three or four points because if we don't, the Democrats, led by Mark Elias, who is a savage attorney, the best attorney out there on election integrity, they're going to try to do everything they can to prevent Trump from getting inaugurated on January 20th.
00:47:07.760Look, they've tried to bankrupt Trump.
00:47:09.900They've tried to throw him in prison for the rest of his life.
00:47:13.040They tried to take him off the ballot, and they tried to take off his head when they underfunded his Secret Service protection.
00:47:20.180They put Steve Bannon in prison, his top presidential advisor.
00:47:26.440They tried to put his supporters on January 6th in prison until the Supreme Court stepped in and said you can't politically persecute them with the Fisher decision.
00:47:34.960They are playing for keeps, and thank God this time we are so much better prepared legally and politically for this lawfare fight than we were in 2020.
00:48:15.180And why would Harris, given all the problems that Mark Elias has had with some of the Democrat apparatus, that they make such a public showing of we've retained Mark Elias to be our senior guy, to be our senior advisor on these things?
00:48:31.160Look, I respect Mark Elias because he fights to win.
00:48:34.300He's not like the Republican lawyers of the past who want to be the string orchestra on the Titanic.
00:48:40.020They want to look majestic as the ship is going down.
00:48:43.420Mark Elias will throw the women and children off the lifeboats, and he'll win.
00:48:47.980And we need more Mark Eliases on the Republican side of the aisle.
00:48:52.160Do you think – McGinley's going to join us in a second.
00:49:15.620But this time around with Chairman Michael Watley at the RNC, with Dave Warrington leading up the Trump campaign effort, Boris McGinley with the Article III project, we're making damn sure that it becomes much more difficult for the Democrats to rig and steal this election again.
00:49:37.020Let's bring in – I think we got Bill McGinley.
00:49:39.920Can I bring in Bill McGinley, our old friend?
00:49:41.880And Bill and I go way back to the White House.
00:49:44.900Bill was actually on the 26th campaign.
00:50:11.240Look, I mean, right now what we're doing, and we've talked about this before, GOTV and election integrity are two sides of the same coin.
00:50:20.060And what we're seeing in the early vote data is that the Posse and everybody else who has signed up to volunteer, who's committed to getting 10 to 15 of their friends, family, and neighbors to drive them out to the polls, to really kind of motivate this nation to change course, are doing a great job.
00:50:37.440We feel good about the numbers, but there's a lot of work to do.
00:50:41.140And on the election integrity side, what we've really done is we've built out some great state operations in Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia.
00:50:51.740I would also throw Virginia in there, Minnesota.
00:50:55.220And we're looking at some of the other states as well that are starting to really tighten out there because there may be some possibilities.
00:51:01.320So what are the buckets that we're concentrating on?
00:51:03.820Number one, we're focusing on transparency.
00:51:06.200We need to be able to have our poll watchers in the room as the eyes and ears, as an early detection system, so that they can elevate issues as they see them.
00:51:15.560Now, everybody who's done this for a long time knows that there's going to be sort of the garden variety issues that are going to pop up every early voting day, every election day.
00:51:23.440Everything from polls not opening on time.
00:51:25.200Sometimes they don't want the watchers to have such proximity so that they can have a meaningful opportunity to observe.
00:51:32.660And there may be some other issues that are handled at the very local level.
00:51:36.180The other thing that we're the other bucket that we're really focusing on, and you see this from a lot of the lawsuits that have come this year, is we are trying to act.
00:51:43.780We are asking the courts to instruct the election administrators, whether it's the secretary of state and the guidance they put out, or if it's in the county registrars where the voting votes are going to be tabulated on election day, for them to follow the law.
00:51:57.100A lot of the state laws, we have some people who are trying to cut corners and not do what they want to do.
00:52:06.560You saw out of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a press conference that happened a couple of days ago, where we actually had some election clerks who did their job.
00:52:16.760When they received a voter registration dump, they actually went through the voting registrations and found the anomalies and referred them.
00:52:25.080Ultimately, they referred it to the DA.
00:52:30.640I got Posobiec, Bill McGinley, Mike Davis is in the house, Raheem Ghassam, Cash Patel, with some other information on Mark Elias, and the president, Donald J. Trump.
00:54:12.820So, unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients, and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health.
00:54:22.900So, that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements, and, of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.
00:54:31.760For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc.
00:54:40.620And, because it is 100% grass-fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general.
00:54:53.720So, we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to SacredHumanHealth.com, and cheers to your health.
