Episode 2030: CPAC Preview How To Win And What To Do With It; Arizona And Missouri Races; They Come For Mom's For Liberty, Zelensky's Million Man Army; FBI Whistleblowers And The Laptop From Hell
Stephen K. Bannon, John Lott, Ben Harnwell, and Mike Davis join me in the War Room to talk about the latest in the Coronavirus epidemic, the Ukraine crisis, and much, much more!
00:08:34.380You're the you're the last big conference before a last gathering of kind of the Eagles before before we hit the judgment day on 8 November.
00:08:47.980And if you use the code room war room, just so you know, everybody, you're going to get to meet the war room team and Steve Bannon on the ground in Dallas.
00:08:56.960So when you go to our Web site at conservative.org to get your ticket, use the code word war room.
00:09:02.060You're going to get to go to the most special a special party.
00:09:05.200Now, Steve has had other parties at CPAC and they're always a success.
00:09:13.820It is fomenting, it is formulating, you know, you could look at these polls, look how blacks and Hispanics are like abandoning the the Democratic Party.
00:09:23.220Look, look what's happening around this country.
00:09:47.800We're going to be there for a couple of days and make this a very special event for the entire war room posse and everybody that's there because it's 90 days out.
00:09:55.100This will be the last time people get together.
00:10:05.520So first, let's say that the theme is Fire Pelosi, Save America.
00:10:09.640And so as we save America by getting rid of these stinking socialists, who's going to be on the board?
00:10:16.280Well, first of all, you know, Donald Trump's on the board and I think his speech at CPAC is going to all be about all the themes going into November and then what we've got to do the day after November.
00:10:25.600Jim Jordan's there, I think the most consequential member of the House of Representatives because he's going to have that gavel for the Judiciary Committee.
00:10:32.340And it's all about going back and resetting the truth in all these areas, including on J6.
00:10:38.360All the people like you who are being persecuted for your political beliefs, not for any wrongdoing, just purely for your political beliefs.
00:10:45.420He's got to use his power to not listen to the Republican establishment lawyers who always say, you know, just go easy, take it one thing at a time.
00:10:53.120No, we've got to go on every issue all at once and we've got to have the staff to do it immediately and go right back at them so we can save the country.
00:11:01.760Then we're going to have the people that you always want to hear from, the people who are going to lead this revolt that I think hopefully happens in the Senate.
00:11:09.400People like Ted Cruz, who are going to be very instrumental in what goes forward and the change from this idea that when you get a Republican majority in the Senate, you don't do anything ever.
00:11:22.540And we're going to hear from all these candidates that matter.
00:11:25.060People like J.D. Vance, Myra Flores, all these, you know, I can't even pronounce her name, Yelsey Vega from Virginia.
00:11:33.260All these people who are coming on the scene hot, they've won their primaries, they are populists, they are conservatives, they are nationalists.
00:11:41.800There's going to be a change to Washington like we've never seen.
00:11:44.380And Steve, let me make this point to your listeners and to your viewers.
00:11:47.460But the very first time, this has never happened in our history, there would be Republican majorities in the House and increasingly likely in the Senate based on no corporate influence or corporate money or corporate PACs.
00:11:58.220The corporate PACs abandoned the Republican Party because they stand for voter ID.
00:12:02.280And the Republican and the conservative corporate, excuse me, the corporate PACs stand for Zuckerberg.
00:12:07.600They're for all that crap, all the woke crap, all the BLM crap.
00:12:11.620When the Republicans get this majority, it'll be because grandmas and grandpas and people who have 25 bucks gave them the money, the regular people.
00:13:20.340What's going to happen if that's their approach this time?
00:13:22.740If they don't govern the mirror opposite of how Pelosi, God bless her.
00:13:26.780I mean I can't stand anything she does.
00:13:28.640But the woman stands up and fights for what she says she's going to fight for.
00:13:31.480If we can't do the mirror of that for ourselves, we are going to lose every supporter across this country because we have no more time to screw around.
00:15:01.340When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation.
00:15:09.240Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote, there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly that I didn't at the time fully understand.
00:25:49.860They're voting for Eric Greitens this coming Tuesday, August the 2nd, in the Missouri primary because people recognize, as, as Kerry said, the country is in crisis right now.
00:26:01.680Rhinos have continued to stab the American people in the back.
00:26:05.760And in this race, it's me, Eric Greitens is the MAGA candidate versus my opponents who've all said that they're supporting Mitch McConnell.
00:26:14.200As you know, Steve, it was right here on your show.
00:26:16.540I was the first guy in the country to come out and say that when I'm elected to the United States Senate, I'm voting against Mitch McConnell because we need new, strong America first leadership here in the Senate and in the United States of America.
00:26:32.020Real quickly, how do people, how do they come?
00:28:46.840You'll find a special offer where you can save $150 on a three-month emergency food kit from My Patriot Supply.
00:28:55.360My Patriot Supply is the nation's largest preparedness company with millions of well-prepared customers who will be able to eat when the food shortage hits.
00:31:20.680And it said that, you know, we should, California kids are in danger of these predators and that we need to watch because kids all over the country are now going to be in danger of these predators.
00:31:32.560And apparently that was considered hate speech by Twitter.
00:31:37.460They gave me the choice to either delete it or freeze the account while it's an appeal process.
00:31:41.980So why are you not going to delete it?
00:31:46.880Well, I mean, I don't understand why it's hate speech.
00:31:48.820I ask them, you know, specifically when you appeal it, you say, I said, what is the hateful, how did I, how did we somehow violate any type of hateful conduct?
00:32:02.100It is categorized as a mental illness.
00:32:03.680And there are predators who are coming after our children.
00:32:07.380And so I've appealed it because it's the truth.
00:32:10.820And the truth should not be censored on Twitter or elsewhere.
00:32:14.880You realize that with the rise of Moms for Liberty and these other groups, these parental rights groups, and you had this conference down in Florida, which DeSantis talked at.
00:32:25.400And obviously the War Room audience loves you and the posse and you're supported.
00:32:54.260I mean, if there are the people that are willing to threaten the lives of children and to go to these extremes and to call the truth hate speech just because they don't want to hear it, we can't stop.
00:33:03.820So I just say to everyone listening, please get on Twitter, ask that, you know, James Lindsay tweeted out, he said Twitter hates moms.
00:33:23.300You can donate to us if you'd like so that we can help to support these chapters across the country.
00:33:27.120These are really strong moms who are speaking the truth, who are fighting for kids and dads too.
00:33:32.920So, you know, we have to stand up against this type of censorship, free speech in the United States.
00:33:38.400Are the folks, are the moms that have signed up and are taking the school boards and then throwing out the school boards and now going to throw out the administration, start hiring people to get new people in there?
00:33:49.300Are you guys going to back down at all, ma'am?
00:33:53.680We are reclaiming education in America.
00:33:55.980We should not be worried every time we send our kids to school that they're being taught something that's antithetical to the teaching in the home.
00:34:01.940And as far as this conversation that apparently the public education system, the unions want to have about whose children are they, we've got a newsflash for you.
00:34:10.220They're our kids, and we direct their upbringing.
00:34:13.320We have that fundamental right, and we are not backing down.
00:34:17.120Tiffany, once again, how do people get to Moms for Liberty?
00:34:20.520Go to momsforliberty.org, and you can click to start a chapter or to join a chapter near you.
00:34:27.900Click to start a chapter near you if you don't have one yet.
00:34:29.940I promise you when we unify, when you get unified together with other like-minded parents and educated on the issues, you will be empowered to make change.
00:34:37.540And we have moms and dads all over the country running for school boards now paying attention to local politics.
00:34:42.240We are going to right this ship in America.
00:34:45.960Tiffany Justice, thank you very much for joining us.
00:35:07.320Ben, Harnwell, just hang on for one second.
00:35:08.860Let me get – let me get – this is what being a wingman, the penalty of being a wingman.
00:35:13.740Davis, I got to take more time and do this, and I also got to get to your tech thing.
00:35:17.320The reason I add to your tech thing, Mike Davis, literally in Washington, D.C., because we, as you know, in the war room, monitor CNN and MSNBC constantly.
00:35:27.160I have never in my life seen a barrage of ads against what you're fighting for in this bill.
00:35:34.280And quite frankly, the ads are done such that if I voted the way you wanted me to vote, I would be like an unpatriotic American.
00:35:41.760And real quickly, what's the status of this tech – against the tech oligarchs?
00:35:46.320Because the tech oligarchs have made some pretty good spots, and they've bought a lot of them, sir.
00:36:03.820My former boss, Chuck Grassley, has delivered the Republican votes.
00:36:08.740There are enough Democrat votes to get over that 60-vote threshold that you need to pass most legislation in the Senate.
00:36:15.700And so Chuck Schumer needs to call the vote.
00:36:18.140I anticipate the vote will happen or not happen right around Labor Day, and it's make or break.
00:36:24.080This is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, our only chance to finally break up big tech's gatekeeping power over online information and commerce.
00:36:35.600Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple are too powerful.
00:36:38.740They use their power to crush competition, shutter small businesses, and cancel conservatives, and we need to get it done.
00:36:46.920We had this breaking news last time about grass.
00:36:49.140I'm going to do some producing on the thing.
00:36:57.560Grassley has got these letters he just sent about FBI whistleblowers, people coming from FBI and DOJ, whistleblowers on the laptop from hell.
00:37:05.660Explain to us what happened, sir, on the laptop.
00:37:08.880Yeah, so Grassley, my former boss, is the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and he is the king of oversight.
00:37:17.100He's been the king of oversight his entire career.
00:37:19.500He's had whistleblowers from the FBI come to his office with pretty damning evidence that FBI supervisors are doing everything they can to, not only did they do everything they could to take out Trump with the Russian collusion bogus nonsense that they peddled,
00:37:39.220but there is this derogatory, very damning information on Hunter Biden, James Biden, and likely President Biden about their business dealings.
00:37:47.600And they cooked up this, these agents at the FBI cooked up this scheme to say that it was a disinformation campaign, and then the supervisors used that intel disinformation campaign scam to shut down these investigations on Hunter Biden, James Biden, and likely President Biden.
00:38:09.780So, Grant Grassley is not a guy that hops around for one thing.
00:38:14.060When he sends a letter that's got this his back of him, he says, I've talked to these guys personally.
00:38:19.100You could essentially take that to an Iowa bank and cash it, sir?
00:38:22.560Yeah, I mean, you could, Grassley is a dog on a bone when it comes to this oversight.
00:38:29.780He's long been skeptical of the FBI, and the FBI is rotten to the core, absolutely rotten to the core, and so is the public integrity section in the criminal division at Maine Justice.
00:38:41.580So is the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C.
00:38:46.660We have these career law enforcement officers who are essentially Democrat agents masquerading as law enforcement, and they're trying to throw elections.
00:38:58.180They tried to get Trump, they tried to throw him out of office, and then they did everything they could to prop up Biden and drag him across the finish line, including coddling his corrupt son, Hunter.
00:39:09.560You would say, and you're a pretty even-handed guy, this is, by the way, reported by CBS News, not Breitbart, not Gateway Pundit, not the war room.
00:39:24.680Would you say this is fairly explosive, Mr. Mike Davis?
00:39:29.220Well, you know, Steve, if this were a Republican president doing this, there'd be calls for impeachment.
00:39:34.540There'd be investigations opened for obstruction of justice.
00:39:38.060This is clearly obstruction of justice for FBI supervisors to use politics and fake intel information, disinformation, they call it, to shut down legitimate criminal investigations of a presidential candidate, his brother and his son.
00:40:10.780We're going to have a whole hour special sometime this week when I can get on Davis's calendar to go through the Jonathan Swan memos of the deconstruction administrative state.
00:40:19.280Davis walked you through the legal aspect with Gorsuch and everybody at the court.
00:40:22.740That's why EPA versus West Virginia is so important.
00:40:24.880We're going to do the shock troop side of it when I get some time with Mike Davis.
00:40:54.020Ben, thank you for hanging out with me.
00:40:56.040Ben, you've got like 10 articles to go through and connect dots, but I just got time for two.
00:41:00.900The New York Times article about Ukraine and then the Hill article about this firefight between the old guard of the Republican Party and America First.
00:41:09.800Walk me through the New York Times piece and why is it so shocking, sir?
00:41:35.360And they've gone out there and they've spoken to people on the ground and they're citing people.
00:41:40.080Like, for example, there's this young guy called Dennis, who's 29, who says, I know guys who don't even leave their apartments because they're afraid to get a summons.
00:41:51.040And this is like stories on the ground of people who don't want to go and fight, as you say, because they don't want to be pushed into the into the meat grinder.
00:42:00.900And it's not, you know, it's not a question of a lack of patriotism.
00:42:05.420It's just patriotism manifested in a different way because they don't see the point of throwing everything into a war which cannot be won.
00:42:14.840And all it's going to do is just leave the country absolutely decimated.
00:42:19.020In fact, when I come down to it, I'm going to give another very surprising on the ground testimonial.
00:42:26.500First, however, I just want to say that in Harkiv, for example, there's talk here of a channel on Telegram, which is providing anonymous, crowdsourced, real time information on the locations of recruiters so that people can stay clear of them.
00:42:43.000That Telegram channel has 67,000 subscribers.
00:42:49.020Now, here's the quote that I that I mentioned before.
00:42:53.140When the New York Times spoke to one recruiter down there and he recalled that one guy didn't want to stop or give his details because he looked to be of the age when he could be press ganged into the army.
00:43:09.640And he says, I don't want to serve, he says.
00:43:35.100With the recent rulings from the Supreme Court, it's worth mentioning that these wins didn't happen on their own.
00:43:46.160It took the support of companies like Patriot Mobile, who have passionately fought on behalf of the unborn in your constitutional rights.
00:43:54.220Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative mobile phone provider.
00:43:58.960They have been on the front lines fighting for your values.
00:44:02.840This is why Patriot Mobile is different from every other provider out there.
00:44:07.100Inflation has made it really hard on many Americans.
00:44:09.740Thankfully, Patriot Mobile has plans for almost any budget, and they offer the same nationwide coverage as all the major carriers.
00:44:17.060So you get the same great service, plus the knowledge that your money is going to a company fighting for the sanctity of life, religious freedom, and your Second Amendment.
00:46:12.080And by the way, every time I read one of these pieces, I go, you know, Ben Harnwell actually said that three or four months ago.
00:46:17.900In your mind, what is this New York Times?
00:46:19.980Did they put a lie to the fact that he's got any chance of raising a million-man army among Ukrainian citizens, sir?
00:46:27.900Yeah, I think the New York Times pretty much said that's not going to happen.
00:46:32.220And they calculated the figure that he's got is something more like 700,000.
00:46:36.520But there's a real morale issue here in Ukraine.
00:46:40.560Steve, the thing – so the Ukrainians have signed – I'll just close with this fact and then give an observation.
00:46:46.800The Ukrainians have signed a petition with more than 225,000 signatures demanding that Zelensky responds.
00:46:56.660It's requesting a ban on issuing summonses at checkpoints, gas stations, and other public places.
00:47:04.440Because what Ukraine is now doing is basically resorted to the old British tactic of a couple hundred years ago of press-ganging you into the Navy.
00:47:13.080You know, when you were at the bar and you were having a beer, if you had the coin at the bottom of the tumbler, you were in – that was it.
00:47:19.020They'd drag you the moment you stepped out, and then you'd be off serving His Majesty.
00:47:31.120Everything these days is considered to be a human right, you know, using the wrong pronouns, health care and all the rest of it, drinking water.
00:47:39.020These are all supposedly human rights.
00:47:41.300How about – now, I'm against the human right-driven culture.
00:47:44.000But how about having a human right of not being drafted and being forced to fight in a war you don't believe in?
00:47:53.600My second observation, and I'll close with this, right?
00:47:56.520It seems to me to be perfectly appropriate that when this war is finished, when the treaty is signed and there is peace, there ought to be an international tribunal, a people's tribunal, and we'll call together Jens Daltenberg and Ursula von der Leyen and Joe Biden.
00:48:15.720Put them all up next to one another, just like at Nuremberg, right?
00:48:19.460And they can account for the gross harm that they did to the Ukrainians keeping a war going that could have finished and been over in March.
00:48:30.660Absolutely – reading this New York Times article absolutely illustrates everything that we have said for now six months.
00:48:38.020We've just passed the six-month deadline, Steve.
00:48:56.460Let's go to Chris Hoare over at the Satellite Phone Store.
00:48:59.400Chris, people all – right now, everybody's worried about the whole system starting to collapse, natural gas, you've got the grid, all of it.
00:49:06.720Why are you guys a solution in times like this, sir?
00:49:09.520Well, Steve, I mean, as ever, you know, satellite communications provide an opportunity to communicate without the use of cell towers.
00:49:58.500That includes the device and unlimited text.
00:50:01.000And this little device, it communicates with the satellites directly and just connects to your phone via Bluetooth and a free app, and you're up and running.
00:50:09.420So you're using your cell phone to send and receive text, even if you have no cell phone chip in there.
00:50:37.060And so we have EcoFlow solar devices, including solar panels, battery packs, backups, everything that you need to keep running off the grid wherever you are.
