Episode_2010: The Elites Fear The Precinct Project; The Left Doesn't Care About Your Safety; Dr. Birx: 'We're Hoping' The Lockdowns & Vaccines Would Work
Stephen K. Bannon has a plan to take over the Republican Party and the United States. It s called the Precinct Strategy, and it s based on a plan that Bannon has been working on for years: get good people into politics.
00:00:55.280These three women, and millions like them, are what Bannon hopes is the future of the Republican Party and the United States.
00:01:05.980Bannon calls it the precinct strategy.
00:01:08.460Ergo, we're going to take over everything from school boards all the way up to the House and the Senate.
00:01:13.520He is really talking about, from the ground up, remaking a party that is a Trump-loyal, MAGA-loyal kind of party.
00:01:22.060Okay, I want to start with Dan Schultz, precinct strategy.
00:01:25.100The precinct strategy's author is a Bannon regular, Dan Schultz, a local Arizona attorney.
00:01:31.020If we conservatives don't take over the Republican Party, we're going to lose our republic.
00:01:37.240President Trump comes out and endorses the precinct strategy.
00:01:40.100His step-by-step tutorial for taking over Republican politics is now considered almost gospel, inspiring thousands of believers in the election lie to get involved.
00:01:51.140GOP leaders in more than 20 counties, in mostly battleground states, told CNN they've seen a spike in participation.
00:01:58.800The precinct committee strategy, that's the first thing.
00:02:01.000Dan Schultz, I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm calling everybody I know.
00:02:04.840Did you even know that we had a precinct in my neighborhood?
00:02:51.120I remember her when I used to be in the White House Correspondence Room and Sean Spicer or Sarah Sanders would be talking and she'd just be sitting there swiping Instagram all day long and then listening to whatever comes in over her earpiece.
00:03:22.860How did you feel about your portrayal?
00:03:24.680Apparently, you are the man that is somehow taking down democracy by participating in democracy, if I have this correct.
00:03:35.160Yeah, it was interesting because I thought Ben Ginsberg hit the nail on the head.
00:03:41.640And because he said, there's nothing wrong with participating in politics as long as you do it fairly and nicely.
00:03:54.000And, you know, it's basic American civics, participatory democracy, whatever term you want to use.
00:04:00.700And that's all that the precinct committeeman strategy is.
00:04:03.780It's an attempt to get good, decent Americans into our party.
00:04:11.300And that's the best thing to do is to get into our party.
00:04:16.160Not too long ago, somebody on War Room said, oh, the thing to do is just join a group.
00:04:25.900Well, the best group to join is the Republican Party where you live.
00:04:29.740And that's, you know, you hit so many birds with one stone when you do it because you're not only are you in the best position to get out the vote for the candidates that you like, but you're also part of the apparatus of the party and you're able to change the party from within.
00:04:48.180And it's there for the changing because over half of these slots on average, wherever you happen to be, are vacant.
00:04:56.860I can remember even being younger, just growing up outside the Philadelphia area and, you know, getting involved and understanding at the local level, the power of the precinct, but then the local committee.
00:05:08.860And then that flows all the way up through the county and then eventually you get your state parties and the state delegates and they actually wield some serious power over the state party itself.
00:05:17.920They can choose the state chairman and now you're talking money, right?
00:05:20.160Now you're talking who actually controls, you know, which candidates get the backing when it comes to some of these primaries.
00:05:26.860Of course, my background is more Pennsylvania in terms of that.
00:05:30.340But you see these exact same dynamic play out across the country.
00:05:33.280And you really do want to take back the party.
00:05:35.600It's got to be from the precinct level.
00:05:37.420And we actually did see a considerable amount of this back during the Tea Party days, which I did play a role in back some 10 years ago now, 10 plus years ago now, believe it or not.
00:06:17.940This is this is Orban and Putin and the return of Franco, right, because you're organizing people to run for committee men and they're in the precinct and school board.
00:06:28.480Of course, every precinct has one of each.
00:06:31.080We haven't gone down to all 56 genders yet for the committee positions, but maybe we'll be there in some point.
00:06:36.620And of course, in New Jersey, they've got transgender women in the women's facilities impregnating other prisoners.
00:06:42.260So so then tell me, what did it feel like to see yourself on CNN, even though I know not a lot of people watch them?
00:06:49.760I think war room audience is probably bigger.
00:06:51.420But what did it feel to see yourself portrayed like that?
00:06:53.420Well, actually, I thought they did a fairly fair portrayal.
00:07:00.120They didn't I don't I didn't think they tried to make me out as a boogeyman.
00:07:04.720But what they did is they they fashioned the entire program that over an entire hour, eventually they were trying to show us here in the United States as being scary, like the scary people over, you know, in in Europe, which, of course, we're not, you know, it's we're the United States of America.
00:07:46.520I highly recommend that everybody go and read the CNN piece that they have about the documentary.
00:07:56.260There's, you know, great tutorial videos.
00:08:01.520There's, you know, they they make the point, for example, that every state is unique.
00:08:08.480You know, which I try to always weave into when I get three or four or five minutes with Steve, that each state's unique.
00:08:16.500You've got to learn the terminology because it's not called precinct committeeman in every state.
00:08:21.980And they made and they made those distinctions.
00:08:25.240So I thought they actually did a pretty good public service.
00:08:29.480But of course, what they tried to do over the course of the entire hour is end with, you know, saying things about, you know, I wrote some of it down that that Steve was diabolically disingenuous and a danger to democracy.
00:08:50.980All we're trying to do is encourage people to get involved and engage in basic American civics.
00:08:57.100And you can learn how to do that, of course, at my site, precinctstrategy.com.
00:09:01.080Well, I do have a, I have a, I have a rubric for being able to translate this and it actually comes via Adrian Vermeule.
00:09:07.980And now I don't usually make a habit of quoting Harvard professors on a regular basis, but Adrian Vermeule is a, you know, sort of the, one of the token conservatives over there at Harvard.
00:09:19.060He said, he said, whenever they say democracy, they mean liberalism.
00:09:24.560That's actually what they're talking about.
00:09:26.200So this idea that our regime is controlled by this, this neoliberal uniparty establishment, that it really only has one option, right?
00:09:37.220Even though we've got two flavors of that option, there really is only one option forward.
00:09:41.940And so whenever they say there's a threat to democracy, which really has been the sort of cause du jour, the force majeure of the latest push here, what we're talking about is there's a threat to the ruling establishment.
00:09:54.080There's a threat to the ruling class in both, and of course the political parties are the means by in which the ruling establishment establishes their power.
00:10:05.040And so what you're doing is a direct threat to that power.
00:10:09.220But of course, you're doing so openly and honestly and transparently and saying, yes, of course, this is a citizen-led grassroots movement.
00:10:17.860This is the people of the war room, this is the people of the 50 states actually stepping up, saying, we want to take power back for ourselves.
00:10:25.820We're sick of the moneyed interests, we're sick of the corporate interests.
00:10:28.360We just want people to be able to actually run back.
00:10:32.020I remember one of the first places I got involved in this was there was a golf course, right, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
00:10:38.340And all of the residents of the area wanted to keep the golf course there, but a hospital was trying to come in.
00:11:24.180And, you know, like here's my little book, you know, how to get into the real ballgame of politics, where you live, help President Donald J. Trump make America great again.
00:11:33.320I came up with that really catchy title.
00:11:36.040Anyways, it's just seventh grade civics.
00:11:38.340It's everything that I learned in seventh grade.
00:11:40.340And, unfortunately, they don't teach it anymore because the progressives succeeded in getting basic American civics out of the seventh and eighth grade curriculum, by and large.
00:11:51.460I know here in Arizona, they had succeeded in doing it.
00:13:20.680My goal is to get, as soon as possible, about 300,000 America Firsters on the platform, working together to help change the party and change the outcome of the all-important, usually very low-turnout primary elections.
00:13:40.800Well, and that is the bottom line up front, right?
00:13:44.060Saying the quiet part out loud because CNN themselves has pinpointed this as the pain point.
00:13:50.720This is the pain point for the regime.
00:13:55.000This is why they're worried about losing influence because they realize that you have come up with a way of doing the work.
00:14:00.980And it's the march through the institutions like the parties.
00:14:03.640It's going to be a march to the institutions of our universities, through academia, through corporate sector, again and again, Hollywood, right?
00:19:36.600And I think it really has been the pain point for the establishment.
00:19:40.140Because last time I checked, because I'm trying to follow the throughput of the logic here.
00:19:44.460So this is CNN upset that America Firsters are running for Republican committee positions.
00:19:50.640I don't believe, and, you know, Producer Cameron, correct me if I'm wrong,
00:19:54.120I don't believe that Steve has ever advocated for anyone to run for the Democrat Party.
00:19:58.400So CNN is actually defending the establishment of the Republican Party
00:20:03.980in going after this precinct strategy.
00:20:06.400And that's a very interesting concept and dynamic for people to understand.
00:20:10.540Yeah, because they need controlled opposition.
00:20:13.040So they need a Republican Party that is going to heal whenever they tell them to heal.
00:20:17.940So they need people like Kinzinger and whatever.
00:20:20.520And so a grassroots precinct committee strategy makes a Republican Party stronger.
00:20:25.660And that really bothers CNN and bothers the national regime media.
00:20:29.760Remember, they do not want to obliterate the Republican Party.
00:20:32.900They just want a Republican Party that will be perpetually in the minority and obedient to their commands.
00:20:37.620Charlie, one thing that I know that you've been digging into today and we were talking a little bit during the break is we've got the juxtaposition of two horrific events.
00:20:49.520And Drew Hernandez is going to come up after you and go through some of these these these violent events that we've seen crimes.
00:20:55.400One at a mall outside of Indianapolis, where apparently a good Samaritan with a gun was able to stop a mass shooter in his tracks.
00:21:05.200But we've also just got the 80 page report of the Uvalde police failure, right, failure to essentially do anything.
00:21:15.280Right. 400 officers and agents were on the scene.
00:21:18.100We're also hearing that this town or this town, this area of Uvalde, because it's on that border nexus of the corridor, the trafficking corridors between Del Rio and Eagle Pass.
00:21:28.820They've had 47 lockdowns at this school, including the day before the shooting, right, just this year, just this year, 47 lockdowns because of human trafficking activity.
00:21:40.920They call them bailouts. The car crashes. The illegals spill out of the car.
00:21:45.720They thought when they got the security alert that it was just another one of the bailouts.
00:21:50.040This is what's going on on our border. That's why it's got these these law enforcement.
00:21:54.260And one of the reasons that it's got them in vapor lock. Meanwhile, you juxtapose that with this kid, 22 years old, right, you know, young adult.
00:22:02.440At the Greenswood Mall, just outside of Indianapolis in the Midwest, where you're from, who stops a mass shooter in his tracks.
00:22:09.180Charlie, what's going on with our country right now? What's going on with this generation?
00:22:13.560So we're going to talk about this in the next hour. There is a news headline that we're going to have to read and really dissect.
00:22:19.100So Fox 59, the local Indianapolis Fox affiliate, covered the Good Samaritan, preventing a severe mass shooting.
00:22:27.280Now, four people still died. And so it's still a tragedy.
00:22:30.120But as we've learned from Uvalde and as we've learned from Highland Park, is that number can get very high very quickly, Jack,
00:22:37.200is it can go from four to 20 very quickly and tragically.
00:22:40.320So this Good Samaritan comes in armed and neutralizes the shooter, kills the shooter.
00:22:45.680And how does the media thank him? Well, according to Fox 59, it says,
00:22:50.860Good Samaritan stops shooter, comma, disobeyed mall's code of conduct.
00:22:58.380The shooter goes in and saves lives. And how does the media thank him?
00:23:04.660Not with a profile piece, not with a big picture like Stacey Abrams, you know, like a big cape.
00:23:10.060No, no, no. Saying, hey, just so you know, in the headline, Jack, he violated the code of conduct.
00:23:17.380That's what I saw. I was I was getting some comments in last night as I was doing show prep.
00:23:22.560And when I prep, I like to kind of tweet as I prep, as I go, some of the thoughts that I may have.
00:23:27.500And one of the comments I got in was, hey, I thought that you you conservatives were all pro-lifers.
00:23:32.960You know, that's what your Bible says. It says to be pro-life.
00:23:35.080How can you support someone right that that shot someone? And I said, stopping a mass shooting is aggressively pro-life.
00:23:41.880It's aggressively pro-life. I mean, maybe they that a person sounds like an atheist who's never opened the Bible.
00:23:48.020Using force to stop evil is not just allowed. It's commanded in the Bible.
00:23:54.240Precisely. Now, Charlie, you and I, we're going to be together later this week.
00:23:58.320Tampa, I know the last time I was here, we talked about this, but I'm going to fly down Wednesday.
00:24:03.520I know we're going to be doing human events daily from there. I'll do war room from there if need be.
00:24:07.420Rav will be down on the scene. But we've got Turning Point USA, SAS, Tampa, Governor DeSantis Friday, President Donald J.
00:24:15.720Trump Saturday. Tell us what do we have in store this weekend down in Florida, down in Tampa?
00:24:21.780How is it shaping up? It's going to be amazing.
00:24:24.060It's going to be the center of the conservative universe for a couple of days.
00:24:26.520I think it's going to be the biggest conservative event of this entire summer.
00:24:30.620The numbers are incredible, Jack. It's going to be much bigger than last year.
00:24:34.140And you remember last year. It was a real sight to be seen.
00:24:36.920And so, as you mentioned, we have Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, who will be sponsored by Turning Point Action, our political vehicle, as Ron DeSantis is running for governor right now of Florida.
00:24:46.600And who knows what Donald Trump's going to do anytime soon.
00:24:49.000And then we're going to have a straw poll, Jack.
00:24:50.980Well, Charlie, you're not you're not saying that we might get an announcement at SAS.
00:24:54.780No, I don't. Is that is that potentially in the cards? What do you think?
00:24:57.360No, we just have to be careful at Turning Point, you see. So if he becomes a candidate on stage, they're got to make sure that the right organization is sponsoring him.
00:25:04.820He's not a candidate yet, but we're going to have a straw poll on starting voting opening Saturday evening.
00:25:11.360And we'll see what happens, as President Trump would say.
00:25:14.120So that's going to be very interesting to see.
00:25:16.120And so we'll have students from all across the country.
00:25:19.380If anyone wants to come, it's tpusa.com slash SAS.
00:25:24.280Or if you just can't remember that, just go to tpusa.com.
00:25:28.160Not to mention, we have Greg Gutfeld, Laura Ingram, Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle.
00:25:34.100We have Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, the biggest speakers you could possibly imagine, breakouts that will change your life.
00:25:41.480The entire theme this year, Jack, is celebrating Turning Point USA chapters.
00:25:46.960We believe chapters change the world at Turning Point USA.
00:25:50.400We believe our high school and college chapters are the backbone of everything that we do.
00:25:53.980And we want the greater population of America to know about how our chapters are moving the dial to actually have meaningful educational activity happen on these campuses.
00:26:05.700That I think it's one of the great untold stories of the last decade of how many Turning Point USA chapters there are and what they're doing.
00:26:12.200So that's going to be kind of one of the themes of SAS because I feel as if sometimes we have these events, Jack.
00:26:16.460And, you know, okay, great, these great speakers.
00:26:18.480But I want the focus to be on the students, not as much even on the speakers.
00:26:50.240So we have my new book, The College Scam, which we will be talking about this week.
00:26:54.900All proceeds go to Turning Point USA, which is really fun, Jack.
00:26:58.220So you can get a book to learn about how awful college is and then fund the organization that is actually starting college campus chapters.
00:27:25.060Almost every single college is a scam, and we have to say it out loud.
00:27:29.140We have to understand the financial implications, the spiritual implications, the political implications of what I consider to be the third rail of American politics.
00:27:43.980Why do they believe there's no country?
00:27:44.980Well, maybe it's the multi-trillion dollar albatross that you send your grandkids to that you think is not a problem, but in reality is harming everything.
00:27:54.180There's people that dance around the edges on this topic, but no one has really been, I think, as forceful as we have been in this book, as factually as we've been, saying don't send your kid to college, period.
00:28:04.360If you want to play Russian roulette with your grandkids' values or your kids' values, send them to college.
00:28:44.400And that change starts with you and your wallet.
00:28:47.100That's why I'm proud to partner with Public SQ, the largest network of patriotic, freedom-loving businesses and consumers our nation has ever seen.
00:28:56.080Public SQ is the first app to connect freedom-loving Americans with their local community and the businesses that share their values.
00:29:03.560Whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms, a coffee shop that took a stand against COVID mandates, or a bank that can never cancel you for your political views, Public SQ is your guide.
00:29:16.220There's also interactive, sensor-free community groups where you can connect with other local members.
00:45:39.800This is kind of a wild show trial based on the subpoena from a different wild show trial that we have going on in Congress.
00:45:49.320So it will be certainly interesting to see how the January 6th committee continues to prosecute their political opponents.
00:45:57.020So you've got, and just to be clear, so Post Millennial will have someone, obviously Viva, and we had him on earlier in the show, is going to be doing the limited podcast series every day.
00:46:07.400A new episode, I think every night is what he said.
00:46:10.020And then, but Post Millennial will also have someone boots on the ground in the courtroom itself, the Perryman Feral courtroom.
00:46:34.640We have a couple of our great reporters and editors heading down there who will be covering SAS, covering some of the great speakers.
00:46:43.600I know that you're going to be speaking, Governor DeSantis is going to be speaking, and we will for sure be there covering that.
00:46:49.760So you can find all your SAS related news right at the Post Millennial.
00:46:54.980I was going to say SAS, so DeSantis is actually speaking before me.
00:46:58.400So he's my warmup act for the, for the evening, but then I'm on the warmup for President Trump.
00:47:01.920So it goes, so it goes, at least the last, the last schedule I saw, who knows, Charlie probably, will probably yank me after that last comment.
00:47:07.620But you were digging into, and we've got about four minutes left here in the program, but you were digging into, and this is so important, Dr. Birx's new biography, which to me reads like a confession.
00:47:21.620When I've read some of these excerpts, you really dug into it.
00:47:25.300You went down the rabbit hole. Tell us, what did Dr. Birx mean when she said that she hid and obfuscated data on COVID-19 to President Trump in order to achieve the lockdown protocols?
00:47:41.460Yeah, so it was actually really interesting. I took a look at that. I listened to some per congressional testimony, and she said that the U.S. did not have sufficient data to back up the plans that she wanted for lockdowns and for economic shutdowns.
00:47:57.520She said, actually, that the goal was to introduce greater and greater shutdown measures, but to do it slowly, one piece at a time.
00:48:05.940She brought each new plan for the shutdown, such as the 15 days to stop the spread and all of this, one little piece at a time, not revealing that her true intentions were to go much further.
00:48:19.040She was literally advocating for boiling the frog slowly, and we Americans and her rights were definitely the frogs.
00:48:26.080So at each step of the game, when Americans would give up their rights and would say, okay, we'll do this little piece, you know, 15 days to stop the spread, we all remember that.
00:48:35.880It sounded so reasonable, and it turned out that even when that 15 days to stop the spread was being proposed by Birx and her team to the Trump administration,
00:48:44.900they knew already that that was really just step one. And in her book, she reveals that there was not enough domestic data to support this,
00:48:53.040and that they were going off of data from Italy, South Korea, and China primarily.
00:48:59.140It was really interesting, too, because Jim Jordan was questioning Birx in a congressional hearing last month
00:49:05.960and asked her outright if the government was guessing or if they were lying when they talked about vaccine efficacy and all of these other things.
00:49:15.360And she said, Dr. Birx said that the government was, in fact, hoping that they were hoping that their plans were correct because they were based on domestic data.
00:49:40.860Like she's getting it off of her chest.
00:49:42.980It's something that they're proud of. She's very proud of the strategies that she took and the way that she and her team were able to convince the Trump administration
00:49:51.400and the economic advisors who, you know, Trump was very concerned with shutting down the economy.
00:49:57.540This was not a great idea. We're seeing now. This was not a great idea. Yet here we are.
00:50:03.100And she was very proud of her strategies.
00:50:05.080I think a big part of the reason that she wrote the book and certainly what she said to Congress was to say outright that the U.S.
00:50:13.280should be doing a better job of forcefully collecting data.
00:50:16.520The CDC primarily does voluntary reporting and Birx and many in her cohort think that this should be, you know, much more robust and mandatory data collection.
00:50:29.540Well, I think I think this is something we need to be digging into all week.
00:50:32.180We're pretty much out of time here for the show today. Libby, where can people find you?
00:50:35.080Because I know you're going to be breaking report after report on Dr. Birx and also the way that she modeled this after the CCP.
00:50:41.080Yeah, you should check me out at Libby Emmons on Twitter. You can follow the Post Millennial on Twitter at T Post Millennial.
00:50:50.360And of course, we're at the Post Millennial dot com every day.
00:50:53.840All right. Thank you so much, Libby Emmons. Now, I remember now CNN and the Atlantic, some of the places they heard Steve say something here on the worm the other day.
00:51:01.300They said he was going to go medieval. He was going to go medieval. Right.
00:51:04.900So I heard that and I said, go medieval. All right. We're going to go medieval. I'm going to go medieval as we close it out here.
00:51:42.240Folks, let me tell you about Salty. It's a company that makes a soft gel supplement rich in antioxidants to help people like you and me keep a healthy heart.
00:51:51.920While COVID gets all the headlines, it's important to realize that heart disease kills nearly 700,000 Americans every year.
00:52:00.300Yes, heart disease is the number one killer every year, year in and year out.
00:52:04.020Heart disease builds over time. Hypertension, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, all of it affects our heart.
00:52:10.640A healthy heart is key to being energetic as we get older. It is never too early to take care of your heart.
