Bannon's War Room - Episode 2054： Erik Prince, Sarah Palin, John McLaughlin： Live

00:00:00.120 Well, the virus has now killed more than 100 people in China, and new cases have been confirmed

00:00:05.080 around the world.

00:00:06.040 So you don't want to frighten the American public.

00:00:08.320 France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.

00:00:11.080 But you need to prepare for and assume.

00:00:14.160 Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.

00:00:18.400 That this is going to be a real serious problem.

00:00:20.400 France, Australia, Canada, the U.S., Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.

00:00:24.860 Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the U.S.

00:00:28.880 Germany, a man has contracted the virus.

00:00:32.300 The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.

00:00:35.760 Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.

00:00:39.060 Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.

00:00:44.940 We have to prepare for the worst, always.

00:00:47.720 Because if you don't, and the worst happens.

00:00:51.180 War Room. Pandemic.

00:00:53.400 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:58.880 Live from CPAC.

00:01:02.340 It's Thursday, 4 August, here, over 2022.

00:01:05.700 But this is the afternoon show.

00:01:06.900 It's going to be a little while.

00:01:07.980 We've got some great guests coming in studio, trying to track down Governor Sarah Palin.

00:01:12.200 President Trump's pollster, John McLaughlin.

00:01:14.300 We've got the force for the live report from Bedminster.

00:01:16.820 I want to start with my good buddy here, Eric Prince.

00:01:20.460 Eric Prince.

00:01:21.160 Steve, thank you.

00:01:21.660 So listen, Nancy Pelosi goes to Taiwan, right?

00:01:26.100 First of all, do you agree with that?

00:01:27.380 Do you agree what she did as Speaker?

00:01:29.800 Because hasn't, isn't she kind of like putting Biden out of a job?

00:01:32.940 I thought Commander-in-Chief did this.

00:01:34.440 Yeah, it was definitely not a, it was not a Commander-in-Chief type role for her to be doing.

00:01:39.080 I think it was, I applaud anything that pokes the CCP is a good thing, but I think it gives

00:01:47.940 the CCP too much of a reason with the blockade and all the other stuff they're doing.

00:01:53.060 It might even give Xi Jinping enough of a lift with his domestic market to infuriate him

00:01:58.280 that it makes his re-election this fall easier.

00:02:00.880 I don't think to Emperor for Life.

00:02:02.700 Emperor for Life.

00:02:03.360 I don't think he'll, I don't think they'll try to keep the blockade on.

00:02:08.100 I mean, certainly the United States cannot let, the Western world cannot let them be choked

00:02:13.060 off and isolated like a Berlin airlift scenario like we had in the 40s after World War II.

00:02:19.880 We can't let that stand.

00:02:21.900 Xi has to be re-elected in his mind, so he'll try to keep the pressure on to make noise.

00:02:26.660 Look, all this naval activity or what we're seeing, you're one of the smartest guys in

00:02:30.640 the world about this, is what we're seeing, is that portend a naval or air blockade right

00:02:37.640 now in Taiwan?

00:02:39.240 Effectively is there now.

00:02:40.260 They've really shut down most of the commercial air travel and commercial vessels, so there

00:02:44.200 is effectively a blockade now.

00:02:46.040 How long that lasts, we don't know.

00:02:47.960 I hope it doesn't last long, but it cannot be allowed to continue ad infinitum.

00:02:52.880 Let me ask my, let me ask our posse right here.

00:02:55.900 By the way, do we support a free and independent Taiwan?

00:03:00.480 Yes.

00:03:01.480 Hell yes.

00:03:02.280 Are we, what do we want to do with the CCP?

00:03:04.960 Take them down.

00:03:05.840 Take them down.

00:03:06.520 100%.

00:03:07.400 No question.

00:03:08.640 Yes.

00:03:09.760 We've had great support here at CPAC.

00:03:13.540 Do you support, are we treading into something very different, very dangerous when we start

00:03:18.240 talking about a free and independent Taiwan versus the one China policy?

00:03:21.620 I would have rather had a, an appropriation go in to get Taiwan some good diesel electric

00:03:27.900 submarines or good minefields or encourage them to build an actual home guard, which like

00:03:34.280 a model that the Ukrainians use. 0.96

00:03:36.080 You don't believe that if we supported diesel boat submarines, the Chinese counties probably 0.96

00:03:40.740 say that's an act of war right there.

00:03:42.780 Because what are they going to use diesel boat submarines for?

00:03:45.140 Shoot, the torpedo, it's fast attack, shooting down.

00:03:48.020 For ensuring free and open navigation, like every other country.

00:03:51.660 Of the Straits of Taiwan, Straits of Taiwan and the South China Sea.

00:03:55.200 So that the Taiwanese people can always eat. 1.00

00:03:57.720 Yes.

00:03:58.960 How important is us to confront, do you believe that we are going from hybrid or unrestricted

00:04:06.120 warfare, which is economic, cyber, and information?

00:04:10.360 Do you think we're sliding to kinetic war right now?

00:04:14.560 The Chinese will make a lot of noise. 1.00

00:04:16.420 I mean, lining up the tanks, all their amphibious vehicles on the beach of Xiamen directly across

00:04:21.400 the stage from Taiwan.

00:04:22.760 That's a lot of noise, but, but, but no fire, right?

00:04:26.460 You mean the amphibious thing that line up?

00:04:28.140 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:04:28.340 They line up all the tanks at the beach.

00:04:29.900 Look, it'd be a bigger problem if they were loading it onto ferries to take it across.

00:04:33.480 Because that's real, lining them up there, lining them up as a, as a, as a big chess

00:04:38.380 beating exercise.

00:04:39.340 That's noise.

00:04:40.220 That's just for the domestic audience.

00:04:41.820 They fired missiles, I think today or yesterday from, from Chinese facilities and even hit inside

00:04:49.580 of the economic exclusion zone of Japan today.

00:04:53.480 The first time that's happened in 75 years.

00:04:55.540 In the East China Sea.

00:04:56.840 Correct.

00:04:57.540 Correct.

00:04:57.800 So they, they hit inside of waters, which would be considered the EEZ of Japan, not just

00:05:02.720 Taiwan.

00:05:03.340 So they are definitely throwing down.

00:05:05.500 Do you think they're sending a message to the entire region that if you back the Americans 0.55

00:05:09.020 it's going to be blowback?

00:05:10.320 They want to, but again, they want to win this thing in as, in an asymmetrical way as possible.

00:05:15.140 They don't want it to go to a full-on conventional war.

00:05:18.160 Look, every general surrounding Xi has paid for that position.

00:05:23.260 As problematic as a lot of.

00:05:24.840 What do you mean by that?

00:05:25.380 Meaning based on corruption.

00:05:27.800 Based on their buying that position because they get to trade on that for years to come.

00:05:32.760 They don't rise as a meritocracy.

00:05:34.460 They, they, they, not the best generals or the best war fighters.

00:05:36.680 And so you have a combination of, of a lot of, uh, very political generals, even more

00:05:43.020 so than we suffer from here.

00:05:45.020 Political generals there that have bought a lot of stuff and they've kind of started to

00:05:48.500 believe their own nonsense.

00:05:49.740 So that's a, uh, it's an interesting wrestling match for Xi to say, I mean, because if they

00:05:55.020 try to take Taiwan by force and they fail, it is absolutely the end of his rule and probably 0.51

00:06:01.320 of the CCP.

00:06:02.460 I don't think that's a gamut they want to throw down just yet.

00:06:05.000 So they will try to make noise, intimidate, bluster, try to take it through all means just

00:06:11.580 short of full-on kinetic war.

00:06:13.320 So that's why the United States has to be smarter in fighting these unconventionally

00:06:17.280 and, and quietly giving the kind of aid, the kind of deterrence.

00:06:22.140 Why I want Taiwan to build a home guard so badly, because if they mobilize just 3% of 0.96

00:06:27.180 their population, that's another 750,000 people with guns, with capability that all they have

00:06:33.580 to do is step outside and defend their neighborhood.

00:06:36.140 That is a huge math problem for any invading force to have to contemplate.

00:06:42.960 Are we prepared to win a war right now with about the defense of Taiwan, an amphibious

00:06:48.640 assault, and are we prepared to win a war in the South China Sea or defending the Straits

00:06:53.840 of Taiwan, the U.S. 7th Fleet today, if the balloon went up?

00:06:57.920 Right.

00:06:58.540 As you said before, are they ready to fight tonight?

00:07:01.340 I don't know that they are because they've had a lot of maintenance problems.

00:07:04.960 They've had a lot of good order and discipline problems between fatal collisions with commercial

00:07:09.900 vessels, losing a submarine, crashing into a seamount, losing a $6 billion warship to a

00:07:16.260 fire while it's tied up, the Bonhomme Richard tied up in San Diego Harbor.

00:07:20.260 Those are not the things that, that deliver a message of strength and capability and deterrence.

00:07:25.780 And when you pile that on top of the debacle of the Afghan pullout and really even allowing 0.53

00:07:30.740 the failure of deterrence to stop Putin from invading Ukraine, they see, I mean, I worry

00:07:37.320 that if the Chinese are going to do something, they're going to do it while Joe Biden is president

00:07:41.120 because they see the ultimate perfect leader for them to be able to push in and assert their

00:07:47.780 will.

00:07:48.080 You don't think we did enough deterrence to, Trump had deterrence, Trump had deterrence

00:07:53.720 on stopping Putin in Ukraine.

00:07:55.660 Why, why didn't, why didn't Biden?

00:07:57.320 Because, because he was not of the swamp.

00:07:59.840 He was not a known political animal.

00:08:01.840 Uh, and, and I think Putin respected him as another leader that would make difficult choices

00:08:08.160 and would go toe to toe to him if he needed to.

00:08:10.940 Uh, the Biden, uh, leadership style has not been very strong and it is, it is, it empowers

00:08:17.420 weakness.

00:08:17.940 I mean, everywhere around the world, it's going crazy.

00:08:20.780 Nigeria is melting down. 1.00

00:08:22.420 The DRC is melting down.

00:08:23.940 The left has, has swept through elections all through South America in a way we haven't

00:08:29.260 seen in a hundred years.

00:08:30.620 So it is a pervasive problem.

00:08:33.360 I keep thinking I could correlate now the period we're into, to the late seventies in

00:08:38.260 America, a Carter administration, we're far worse than where we were in the Carter

00:08:42.800 administration because we had far worse.

00:08:45.100 You think we're weaker today than we were in that relative to the world?

00:08:48.460 Yes.

00:08:48.980 We don't have the, the ample supply of reserves economically and we have $30 trillion in

00:08:54.380 debt.

00:08:54.840 You think financially we're in much worse trade?

00:08:56.560 Yes.

00:08:56.960 Especially the, the, the dollar as the world's reserve currency is at risk.

00:09:01.700 The overuse of sanctions is, is, is forcing other countries to still trade.

00:09:06.480 Yeah.

00:09:06.660 It's, it's way too much.

00:09:07.940 It's too much the easy button for Washington to think they're doing something instead of

00:09:12.060 the kind of covert action subterfuge that we should be doing to make our enemies fear

00:09:16.240 us or respect us.

00:09:17.100 Why don't you hang on?

00:09:17.760 We're going to continue this conversation.

00:09:18.940 I got Eric Prince, one of the smartest guys geopolitically in the world in a war room

00:09:22.960 regular, hang on, uh, Jane Zirka, let's go, let's, let's introduce, have some of the posse

00:09:27.300 introduce themselves.

00:09:31.120 We've got to have that.

00:09:32.400 CPAC today.

00:09:33.360 Well, I'm here because, uh, like all of us, we want to save this country.

00:09:37.600 Also, I wanted to say that, uh, I'm part of the group of parents and we were very successful

00:09:44.880 in getting our school board in Grapevine flipped.

00:09:49.280 It was, uh, seven, uh, liberals and we got it changed to four conservatives and three liberals.

00:09:59.280 Wow.

00:09:59.480 And that's that grassroots activism at work.

00:10:01.840 Now, also Clarissa, tell me what compelled you to come to CPAC today.

00:10:05.640 To hear Steve, of course, number one.

00:10:08.800 And I'm also with Moms for Liberty out of Tarrant County.

00:10:11.520 And so we're here to, uh, support Mr. Bannon and we're part of the deporables and the war room posse.

00:10:19.200 And we love him.

00:10:20.080 How many, how many here, right here are from Texas?

00:10:25.920 Just a few of us.

00:10:26.720 How many here are not from Texas?

00:10:29.120 All right, all right, all right.

00:10:30.640 You're not from Texas.

00:10:31.360 Where are you coming from?

00:10:33.520 Where?

00:10:35.040 Wow, wow, Nashville, Tennessee.

00:10:37.520 Okay.

00:10:38.380 Uh, we got, I want to make sure we get that fixed so I can hear it, Harry.

00:10:40.820 We had it before so we can boom it.

00:10:43.140 Eric, Eric, Eric, talk to me about, uh, talk to me about the Chinese Communist Party, the military threat of it, okay?

00:10:52.320 Is it a military threat outside the South China Sea, outside the Straits of, uh, the Straits of Taiwan?

00:10:58.740 Can the United States military sort them if they want to trade the Straits of Malacca,

00:11:03.160 if they want to partner up with other nations in the Eurasian landmass?

00:11:05.920 Are they going to be a big partner to Russia in the Ukraine?

00:11:08.480 Where do we need to fear them militarily?

00:11:11.600 Look, their, their money, we need, we need worst of all, we need to, to clarify and to purify the CCP influence out of America.

00:11:22.000 Yeah, because whether it's the, the, the...

00:11:25.180 What do you mean out of America, the influence peddling here in this country?

00:11:27.560 Look, after the Soviet, after World War II, it was very clear that the Soviet Union squared off against,

00:11:32.780 it was East versus West, freedom versus communism.

00:11:35.720 For all those years since then, um, the globalists had this idea that if we made China rich,

00:11:41.740 and we allowed them into the WTO, that if we made them rich, that they would become like us.

00:11:44.720 It hasn't, it has reinforced their CCP tendencies.

00:11:48.640 We became, we became like them.

00:11:50.040 Our oligarchs, our tech oligarchs, state capitalism, our authoritarian world.

00:11:53.140 They're the tentacles of that money with big Wall Street, with the big hedge fund managers,

00:11:58.320 that nobody wants to count, nobody wants to stand up to China, even in Hollywood, right? 1.00

00:12:03.120 It's even, it's amazing to see Hollywood has come alive to the fact that a movie like Top Gun,

00:12:07.960 that is pro-America, and kind of stands up to China, because China was complaining about the mere patch

00:12:13.640 of Taiwan on Tom Cruise's jacket.

00:12:16.900 Okay, they stood up to that, and...

00:12:18.280 They digitally removed it at one time, and then put it back.

00:12:20.220 And then they put it back, and that movie did over a billion dollars.

00:12:24.220 Amazing.

00:12:24.740 And so Hollywood has woken up.

00:12:26.020 So we need to, the next administration has to make it very clear, are you on the side of freedom?

00:12:30.460 You mean the Trump administration when it returns off? 0.97

00:12:32.120 Damn right. 0.94

00:12:32.600 What is this next administration thing? 0.96

00:12:34.860 I just can't wait until that day.

00:12:36.700 Look, we need to, are you on the side of freedom, or are you on the side of the CCP and all the tentacles, right?

00:12:43.380 The United Front Work Party is a way, right?

00:12:46.120 So whether it's Confucius Institutes at universities, paying for research grants in biotech,

00:12:53.660 and the amount, they have been insidious in how they've implanted Chinese access actors throughout our society.

00:13:01.200 Nancy Pelosi, all her donors are Silicon Valley, and the big guys are already Sequoia Capital,

00:13:05.300 totally infiltrated by the CCP, Silicon Valley by the CCP.

00:13:09.760 Was her just performative?

00:13:11.180 This is an act that she did, or is this meaningful, given that the Democratic Party,

00:13:15.660 with the big corporatists, with big tech, big media, has already been compromised by the CCP?

00:13:21.540 Is this anything more than performative?

00:13:22.820 Maybe it is.

00:13:24.820 I'm glad.

00:13:25.560 I'm glad to see representatives of the U.S. government visiting Taiwan.

00:13:29.140 My worry is that it only gives them a, it causes belly to do this and to lash out at Taiwan. 0.64

00:13:36.960 I still don't think they're trying to go the distance right now, because Xi has to be reelected.

00:13:40.720 You don't think they're going the distance?

00:13:41.340 You think he wants to get past the party conference in November?

00:13:43.140 He's got to get past the party conference, because, right, why did he lock down Shanghai for so long?

00:13:47.820 It wasn't about COVID.

00:13:49.060 It was because of the Shanghai faction.

00:13:50.940 Control, right.

00:13:51.440 Right.

00:13:51.900 You have three factions, the Young Prince Lings, the Shanghai faction, Communist Youth League.

00:13:56.000 Right.

00:13:56.220 He smashed the other ones.

00:13:57.280 He had to smash Shanghai, and he did, welding people into their houses over COVID. 1.00

00:14:01.840 Right.

00:14:02.480 When they had 18 cases in Shanghai, a city of 32 million people.

00:14:06.520 It was about making sure no one from Shanghai rose up and opposed his being president for life.

00:14:11.660 Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.

00:14:13.640 We're live at CPAC.

00:14:14.640 We're trying to wrangle Governor Palin right now.

00:14:16.880 Eric's going to stick with me.

00:14:18.100 We've got John McLaughlin.

00:14:19.280 John's the president's pollster.

00:14:21.540 Boris is going to check in from Bedmiss or all of it.

00:14:24.120 Short commercial break.

00:14:25.280 We're going to be back in the warm in just a moment.

00:14:35.040 Hey, Eric.

00:14:35.520 We're going to know a fight to the end.

00:14:37.240 Just watch and see.

00:14:38.400 It's all started.

00:14:39.920 You know what's never good?

00:15:01.560 When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights

00:15:08.340 of impending inflation.

00:15:14.560 there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices

00:15:19.440 and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly that I didn't, at the time, fully understand, end quote.

00:15:28.780 You know who understands the real threat of inflation?

00:15:31.140 People who invested in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group.

00:15:36.400 They're protecting their savings from a highly turbulent economy by diversifying their 401k or IRA into gold, physical gold.

00:16:24.960 War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:28.700 The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.

00:16:32.460 War Room Pandemic.

00:16:34.260 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:40.340 Welcome back.

00:16:41.960 We've got a very rowdy crowd here of deplorables and whorling posse.

00:16:48.920 We've got our own Jane Zirkle. 0.98

00:16:50.500 Jane, I'm going to toss it to you. 0.98

00:16:51.560 Let's hear from the posse.

00:16:58.040 Well, Steve's a fighter.

00:16:59.600 He gives us stuff to do.

00:17:01.000 Instead of sitting at home being pissed off,

00:17:02.980 Steve says, be a precinct chair.

00:17:05.760 Here's the website.

00:17:07.180 Here's your senator or legislator.

00:17:09.040 Call them.

00:17:09.480 Here's the number flashing on the screen.

00:17:12.040 Go ahead.

00:17:12.580 I became a precinct chair in Travis County because of this show.

00:17:16.100 And now I work with county citizens defending freedom for election integrity because of this show.

00:17:20.980 Amazing, amazing.

00:17:22.020 How important is grassroots activism?

00:17:23.780 Well, Steve gets it.

00:17:25.800 There's a big picture here.

00:17:27.240 He unwinds it.

00:17:28.460 He knows what's going on, and he communicates it well.

00:17:31.560 That's key.

00:17:33.660 I want to introduce you to my agent.

00:17:35.560 Why do you think grassroots activism is so important?

00:17:43.260 I think it's important if you look at Bannon's show,

00:17:45.340 your ability to grab large swaths of people,

00:17:48.260 of different kinds of people together,

00:17:49.740 whether it's veterans,

00:17:50.980 whether it's the tech community,

00:17:52.440 all different kinds of people.

00:17:53.820 You're more effective than a lot of people than politicians.

00:17:57.020 So thanks, Steve.

00:17:59.040 Now, CNN calls him a divider,

00:18:02.020 but do you all think he's a uniter?

00:18:04.740 That's right.

00:18:06.740 This group looks pretty united.

00:18:10.980 I want to introduce Jane Zirkle.

00:18:13.340 Jane Zirkle right there.

00:18:14.940 Now, she was Rudy's assistant.

00:18:17.420 That's how we met her in the war room.

00:18:18.760 We put her out in Turning Point USA.

00:18:22.540 You had amazing interviews.

00:18:24.140 Now, she's not from Texas.

00:18:26.000 She's from Palm Beach,

00:18:27.060 but she decided to get up in Texas garb.

00:18:29.120 Jane, thank you so much.

00:18:30.900 A great new asset.

00:18:32.080 Thanks.

00:18:33.940 Jane Zirkle.

00:18:34.620 Let's rotate people through, 0.82

00:18:35.660 and we'll get in before Governor Palin gets here.

00:18:39.760 Right now,

00:18:40.560 we're coming up on the one-year anniversary of Afghanistan.

00:18:43.540 Yep.

00:18:43.760 Right?

00:18:44.180 I think it's on the 13th.

00:18:45.640 Is that correct?

00:18:46.260 Or right around there?

00:18:47.460 Yes.

00:18:47.780 And amazingly,

00:18:48.880 for all the promise that Afghanistan would no longer harbor al-Qaeda,

00:18:54.480 where did they kill Zawahiri?

00:18:56.060 What was the promise on that?

00:18:57.440 What was the promise on that?

00:18:58.340 They promised it would no longer be a terror sanctuary.

00:19:02.180 And, of course,

00:19:02.820 Zawahiri was living in a luxury palace 300 meters from the UK embassy in the green zone.

00:19:09.560 They used to call it the area of poppy palaces because it's where all the money went. 1.00

00:19:13.660 And Zawahiri was from the heroin trade.

00:19:15.400 From the heroin trade.

00:19:17.140 And there,

00:19:17.780 he was in a home owned by the Haqqanis.

00:19:23.260 The Haqqani Network.

00:19:24.600 Yes.

00:19:25.220 So,

00:19:25.780 you have the Haqqanis, 1.00

00:19:27.100 which were on the bounty list with DOJ,

00:19:30.180 right?

00:19:30.400 Five million,

00:19:31.040 ten million dollars, 0.65

00:19:31.840 because they're terrorists. 0.61

00:19:33.360 One of them is now the interior minister of Afghanistan.

00:19:36.480 And they were renting out the house to Ayman Zawahiri,

00:19:40.080 the co-founder of al-Qaeda,

00:19:42.360 literally the co-mastermind of the 9-11 attacks.

00:19:45.100 And he's living there in luxury.

00:19:47.600 And they got him because he went on his porch consistently every morning.

00:19:51.180 And finally,

00:19:51.860 they smoked him.

00:19:52.700 Here's what people want to know.

00:19:54.160 How did it take 21 years to finally get that guy?

00:19:57.840 I mean,

00:19:58.140 you've worked special operations.

00:20:00.380 You've worked with the agency,

00:20:02.040 paramilitary.

00:20:03.180 You know all the tracking devices we have.

00:20:05.340 How did it take 21 years to track this guy down?

00:20:08.800 Because he was living very cautiously.

00:20:10.980 I think for a while,

00:20:11.840 he was even living in Iran.

00:20:13.420 Much of his family was in Iran.

00:20:14.720 He died in Iran.

00:20:15.740 Oh,

00:20:15.920 yeah.

00:20:16.600 Yep.

00:20:17.200 Between the tribal areas being harbored by Pakistan,

00:20:20.740 like bin Laden was, 0.53

00:20:22.020 or covered up in Iran.

00:20:26.180 And he came back.

00:20:26.980 I think he got sloppy and he paid the price for it.

00:20:29.660 Good riddance.

00:20:30.380 They have not actually done a DNA.

00:20:32.140 I mean,

00:20:32.340 we don't have an official right now DNA check or whatever they do.

00:20:35.860 Are you absolutely sure we got him?

00:20:38.920 Yeah,

00:20:39.180 they got him.

00:20:39.640 I don't want to do any conspiracy.

00:20:40.740 You're saying your contact said we got him.

00:20:42.800 I'm pretty confident they got him.

00:20:44.000 Walk us through the logistics.

00:20:45.060 How did that happen?

00:20:46.820 Look,

00:20:47.200 give us the unclassified.

00:20:48.300 In the same way that they track people,

00:20:50.460 whether it's electronically or family members or optically,

00:20:54.540 right?

00:20:54.780 They're looking there.

00:20:55.940 This is a guy they've been looking for for a long time.

00:20:58.180 So they're in the cameras are so good on these drones.

00:21:00.820 They locked in and finally they got permission to take a shot.

00:21:06.900 Do you believe,

00:21:07.680 by the way,

00:21:08.180 Tom Friedman had a column the other day about how he was opposed,

00:21:12.380 how opposed he was to Nancy Pelosi going to Taiwan.

00:21:15.540 But the very lead,

00:21:16.560 when he went down there,

00:21:17.380 we talked about this on the show the other day,

00:21:19.180 they said that the Biden administration has lost all faith in Zelensky.

00:21:23.400 They think Zelensky is a liar.

00:21:24.600 And they specifically called out,

00:21:26.480 he fired his attorney general and the head of his intelligence services on the same day,

00:21:30.920 the equivalent of Biden firing Merrick Garland and the head of the CIA.

00:21:35.060 What is your assessment?

00:21:36.060 Because there's all types of spin.

00:21:37.680 What's your assessment of the combat reality?

00:21:39.840 What is the ground truth of where that war is right now in Ukraine?

00:21:43.880 I'm happy to see any leader hold their national security apparatus accountable,

00:21:48.640 right?

00:21:48.880 Something we haven't done here in America in a long time.

00:21:51.780 Look,

00:21:52.300 the Russians are grinding along when the Ukrainians don't really have the ability to maneuver. 0.99

00:21:58.160 That means the Russians can move their artillery within range and they just start pounding.

00:22:02.520 And they're pounding at five to 10,000 rounds a day like a rototiller.

00:22:06.380 You came on about a month ago,

00:22:07.600 said they're going to rototill.

00:22:08.860 And that's happening.

00:22:10.420 What's left of it?

00:22:11.080 But the Russians have lost serious casualties.

00:22:16.560 They have a big problem because Putin does not want to mobilize

00:22:19.560 because that would be a huge political problem.

00:22:22.760 So they're sending every non-Russian ethnicity that they can from like Baikal, 1.00

00:22:27.440 from the Far East, from the Mongolian border, everywhere.

00:22:30.900 Not very capable troops.

00:22:32.580 And so those are dying.

00:22:33.620 You're saying not Russians from Moscow.

00:22:35.540 They're not ethnic Russians.

00:22:36.960 They're not doing press gangs in the clubs and bars in Moscow.

00:22:41.080 Correct.

00:22:41.840 The mayors are ended up sponsoring regiments,

00:22:46.180 kind of like we did in the American Civil War,

00:22:48.240 trying to put more people out there,

00:22:49.580 trying to pay and incentivize,

00:22:51.260 as is the Wagner Group.

00:22:52.760 Their favorite private military company is recruiting globally,

00:22:56.660 trying to get people to show up because they're dying.

00:22:58.680 Look,

00:22:58.820 the Ukrainians are still fighting well.

00:23:00.820 The Ukrainian special operations are fighting very well.

00:23:03.200 Have the Russians lost 75,000 men?

00:23:07.220 I don't know if it's 75,000, but it's approaching 50.

00:23:10.020 Approaching 50.

00:23:10.800 Yes.

00:23:10.960 How many of the Ukrainians?

00:23:13.120 Zelensky is talking about raising a million-man army.

00:23:15.460 The New York Times had a story.

00:23:17.100 They were running press gangs through Ukraine to the bars,

00:23:20.160 and guys are hiding.

00:23:21.480 How many actual troops does he have deployed on the Donbass?

00:23:24.140 I don't think they're running press gangs.

00:23:25.860 I was in Ukraine some weeks ago.

00:23:27.720 I didn't see anything like that.

00:23:28.740 Oh, my God.

00:23:29.120 We're going to get it classified.

00:23:30.200 We're breaking.

00:23:30.900 Eric Prince was in the Ukraine.

00:23:32.820 But.

00:23:33.980 Media matters.

00:23:34.860 Put that up in your headlines.

00:23:36.060 But the fact is,

00:23:37.040 Ukrainians showed up by the millions.

00:23:39.140 From other jobs that they were working in Europe,

00:23:41.320 they came back to their country to fight.

00:23:43.500 I think it's as imperfect as Ukrainian democracy might be,

00:23:47.000 people showed up with their own flesh and blood

00:23:49.200 to defend their land and their culture

00:23:52.020 from the Russian bear taking it.

00:23:54.920 So that's to be applauded.

00:23:56.440 I don't think we should leave them hanging.

00:23:57.380 The escalation has really come, though, from the West, hasn't it?

00:24:01.880 I mean, it's the West that's pressing in there.

00:24:03.860 Austin and Blinken wanted to severely degrade the Russian military

00:24:08.320 and force them out of Ukraine. 0.70

00:24:09.960 Is that going to happen?

00:24:10.840 Is that realistic?

00:24:11.960 I think there will not be a peace deal

00:24:14.920 until Putin is militarily unable to continue to pound.

00:24:19.280 Bring her in. 1.00

00:24:19.920 And he will, I'd say,

00:24:22.980 it's probably the goal of the Pentagon now

00:24:24.280 to up the ability of the Ukrainians to punch back a bit. 0.71

00:24:27.380 I'll tell you what we're going to do.

00:24:29.340 We've got Governor Palin.

00:24:30.800 Let's bring her on in. 1.00

00:24:34.740 Can you guys welcome Sarah Palin?

00:24:43.720 How are you?

00:24:44.460 We've got Eric Prince.

00:24:46.020 We've got the...

00:24:47.340 How are you?

00:24:48.680 A bit of hard.

00:24:49.500 Yeah.

00:24:50.460 America's favorite mercenary.

00:24:51.700 Yeah, he is.

00:24:52.380 Thank you for your service, sir.

00:24:54.380 So listen, first off, tell us about the congressional run.

00:24:57.720 We're looking forward to having you in the House.

00:24:59.620 Having you in the House.

00:25:01.060 Shouldn't Governor Palin be part of the leadership of the House?

00:25:03.960 Yeah, screw that freshman stuff.

00:25:07.840 Let me get right on in there with all the other congressmen.

00:25:10.400 Or congresswomen.

00:25:11.780 Congressman, please call me.

00:25:13.980 It's going well.

00:25:15.080 You know, it's Alaska.

00:25:15.760 Alaskans know me.

00:25:16.660 They know why I'm running.

00:25:17.840 Drill, baby, drill. 1.00

00:25:18.860 Energy independence.

00:25:19.840 Freedom.

00:25:20.300 All about freedom.

00:25:21.420 Stopping the rhinos.

00:25:22.380 Stopping the Democrats.

00:25:23.900 And it's bizarre, though, Steve, because you'll appreciate this.

00:25:27.400 This newfangled weirdo voting system we have where it's mail-in-only ballots.

00:25:32.660 Dominion computerized counting.

00:25:34.440 No hand counting.

00:25:35.320 And it's ranked choice voting.

00:25:37.280 No paper ballots.

00:25:39.080 Only machines.

00:25:41.020 Polling machines.

00:25:42.400 Computerized Dominion.

00:25:43.660 And even in a little tiny village where maybe five people vote.

00:25:46.700 Nope.

00:25:47.120 Can't count them by hand.

00:25:48.160 Got to go through the system.

00:25:49.440 So just keep your eyes and ears open.

00:25:51.440 And President Trump was up there a couple weeks ago.

00:25:53.900 He rallied with us.

00:25:54.880 And it was awesome.

00:25:55.960 So much electricity.

00:25:57.180 You should get back there as you had a good time last time up there.

00:26:01.740 And President Trump tried to explain to the audience out there that with this ranked choice voting,

00:26:07.760 the third place, the third most popular candidate can actually win the thing through a process of elimination in a weird counting system.

00:26:17.080 Isn't that how it's set up?

00:26:18.300 Is this the Murkowski you fought when you came as the mayor of Wasilla?

00:26:21.820 And became the governor.

00:26:23.220 Your number one thing was to take on the old boy network, right? 0.77

00:26:25.960 They didn't think you had it in you.

00:26:27.400 They knew oil and gas.

00:26:28.740 And you bench press them.

00:26:29.660 Is this the old boy network setting up the direction? 0.59

00:26:32.260 It's back.

00:26:32.620 It's back.

00:26:33.240 And you call it a nice term, good old boys network. 1.00

00:26:36.440 They actually had hats back in the day where they embroidered on them the corrupt bastards club. 1.00

00:26:43.140 Well, too many of them are back. 1.00

00:26:44.720 At least their thinking is back.

00:26:46.000 So Lisa Murkowski's attorney pushed hard for this new voting system to get her back in there in the Senate because she couldn't win straight up as a Republican. 1.00

00:26:54.560 So that's what that's all about.

00:26:56.220 That should have told Republican lawmakers in our legislature from the start something's whack about the voting system.

00:27:02.600 It came from Murkowski.

00:27:03.440 So tell us, how is the Murkowski machine still run the state?

00:27:09.200 Murkowski's and baggage's.

00:27:10.660 We have the two dynasties.

00:27:12.180 One registered Republican.

00:27:14.500 One registered Democrat family.

00:27:16.400 These are the aristocracy right now, as they see it, of Alaska.

00:27:20.380 Yeah, yeah.

00:27:21.140 You know, I really think they think they have more influence than they actually do because especially the young people, you know, they're all about this third great awakening.

00:27:28.680 They're all about a real wokeness, right? 1.00

00:27:31.600 And they don't care about families that have claimed this dynasty for years and years.

00:27:37.000 They want change.

00:27:38.320 They know it's now or never for our country.

00:27:40.600 Can you hang for a commercial break?

00:27:42.560 Governor Sarah Palin is with us.

00:27:44.360 We're live at CPAC.

00:27:45.260 We have Eric Prince, Governor Palin, Stephen K. Bennett.

00:27:48.040 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:27:49.480 We're going to turn with the War Room Posse here live at CPAC in just a moment.

00:27:54.080 Thank you.

00:27:54.620 Thank you.

00:27:59.140 Bring it on and out and fight to the end.

00:28:01.360 Just watch and see.

00:28:02.560 It's all started.

00:28:04.720 Everything's begun.

00:28:06.540 And you're all over.

00:28:09.200 Because we're taking down the CCP.

00:28:13.240 Spread the word all through Hong Kong.

00:28:14.860 We will fight till they're all gone.

00:28:18.080 We rejoice when there's no more. 0.90

00:28:19.960 Let's stick down the CCP.

00:28:24.520 Homeowners beware.

00:28:25.840 You could already be the victim of home title theft and not have a clue.

00:28:31.640 Some cyber thief may have already forged his name onto the title to your home.

00:28:36.600 Think about that for a second.

00:28:38.140 May already have forged his name onto the title of your home and you not know it.

00:29:51.800 You're in the war room.

00:29:53.480 Hey, give us a war room shout out. 1.00

00:30:00.880 What do you got?

00:30:02.060 Should Governor Palin be in leadership as soon as she gets to the House? 0.95

00:30:06.880 That would be fun.

00:30:08.160 There we have it.

00:30:08.820 Look, I got a question.

00:30:09.820 We talk about this all the time.

00:30:11.420 The morning media gets all over all the Republicans, gets all over you all the time, all the stuff.

00:30:15.960 So, I get it.

00:30:17.280 Morning, Joe.

00:30:19.100 Morning, is Mika Brzezinski carries that show.

00:30:22.220 I've got a question for you.

00:30:23.360 Shouldn't it be called Morning Mika?

00:30:25.420 And I've got a question.

00:30:26.220 Does MSNBC pay her more than she pays Joe Scarborough? 0.99

00:30:29.640 Because they're all over us as a bunch of white nationalists and misogynists. 1.00

00:30:33.540 And Donald Trump's the worst thing in the world. 0.99

00:30:35.200 What is MSNBC?

00:30:36.400 What does Sarah Palin, Governor Palin think about Morning Mika? 0.94

00:30:39.780 Okay, Mika, Joe.

00:30:41.320 The word that comes to mind is subservient.

00:30:44.400 Mika, come on. 0.97

00:30:45.780 She's allowing this to happen, yet she's going to judge us and preach to us about we, supposedly. 1.00

00:30:51.800 Okay, that's really pathetic. 0.98

00:30:53.060 And that's a great point. 0.99

00:30:54.220 If she was truly independent.

00:30:55.600 If she were a true feminist. 1.00

00:30:57.160 But these fake feminists, they just kill me. 1.00

00:31:00.160 You know, no, she's satisfied with that. 0.99

00:31:02.700 And yet, again, she puts herself in a seat of judgment for everybody else.

00:31:06.500 That's the problem that I have with it.

00:31:08.260 But yeah, and didn't Mika come first?

00:31:10.880 Mika has been a journalist, I think, for 20 or 30 years.

00:31:13.780 She was really the heart of it.

00:31:14.980 She does more of the work.

00:31:16.400 He's kind of the typical guy drafting off a strong woman.

00:31:20.440 Let's see their pay stubs. 0.99

00:31:22.060 Okay.

00:31:22.560 We don't see their pay stubs.

00:31:23.600 Do you believe she should be paid at least as much or more than Joe?

00:31:27.680 Well, more.

00:31:28.520 Because she's supposed to be the principal.

00:31:29.980 And yet, she's allowing herself to be under Joe. 1.00

00:31:33.140 That's pretty pathetic. 0.98

00:31:34.720 And, you know, though, behind every successful man stands a surprised woman. 0.99

00:31:40.600 Maybe she's just surprised at how Joe has succeeded.

00:31:45.940 Because he's not a journalist.

00:31:47.280 No, no.

00:31:47.400 He's just a talker.

00:31:48.480 He's a failed congressman, isn't he?

00:31:50.280 I think.

00:31:51.020 One or two terms.

00:31:52.240 You can say that.

00:31:53.180 One or two terms.

00:31:53.760 You're going to be a suspect.

00:31:54.780 You talk about the great awakening a moment ago.

00:31:57.060 Oh, yes.

00:31:57.760 Yes.

00:31:58.020 I know you are, having been the filmmaker that made your biography, was it 10 years ago?

00:32:04.140 Yeah.

00:32:04.540 That was the best.

00:32:05.120 10 years ago.

00:32:05.460 And I spent that great time in Alaska with you.

00:32:07.920 You're not just deeply spiritual.

00:32:09.500 You're very religious.

00:32:10.420 And your religion forms a core of you.

00:32:12.440 When you talk about a great awakening, what do you mean?

00:32:15.000 And you talk about that film called The Undefeated.

00:32:17.880 I hope that's providential.

00:32:19.780 I believe it is providential.

00:32:21.040 The title even itself.

00:32:22.560 The Undefeated.

00:32:23.740 The Great Awakening.

00:32:24.820 You know, I think inherent in, especially young people, is this passion for, this need for,

00:32:31.240 this understanding of freedom.

00:32:32.960 God created this drive for freedom within us.

00:32:36.100 So, I think these young people, looking at what our government is doing to us, it was

00:32:40.800 our government, of course, feds, it was set up to protect our individual rights, not take

00:32:45.260 them from us.

00:32:45.920 And yet, that's what they're doing.

00:32:46.960 They're succeeding at taking away our rights.

00:32:49.100 So, I think young people, especially, are going, no, no, no, no.

00:32:51.860 You know, we've had awakenings before in the history of mankind.

00:32:55.920 It is time for the awakening.

00:32:58.500 It'll be the third great awakening.

00:33:00.420 But everyone rising up, awakening to what these young people are feeling.

00:33:05.100 What they actually desire.

00:33:07.940 And, no, it's going to be all about activism.

00:33:11.120 You know, putting our feet to the floor, running with this idea, with this principle,

00:33:17.280 with this truth, that we are made to be free, not to be subservient to government.

00:33:22.400 Okay, let me, Eric, I want to ask you too, but they're going to accuse you right now when

00:33:25.520 you start talking about Great Awakening.

00:33:27.080 Because they've already accused you of it, that this is all about a Christian nationalism.

00:33:30.620 This is a militant church, right?

00:33:33.040 The people, we want to enforce our beliefs everywhere.

00:33:35.520 So, when they say, okay, when Sarah Palin talks about the Great Awakening, that's code word

00:33:39.380 for a white nationalist, Christian nationalism.

00:33:42.860 What say you, ma'am?

00:33:43.860 Wow.

00:33:44.520 And that's all they got?

00:33:46.040 No.

00:33:46.900 It's so far from it.

00:33:48.320 It's all, you know, it's all about tolerance.

00:33:50.360 It's tolerating other people's beliefs, allowing them to have the freedom, as long as they're

00:33:54.960 not hurting somebody else.

00:33:56.940 That's part of the awakening that we need.

00:33:59.500 This council culture and all this political correctness, all the political correct speech

00:34:04.240 that they try to tell us what to think, what to say.

00:34:08.580 No, people, I think people are awakening to the truth, that we were not created to be that.

00:34:15.100 And we will fight back.

00:34:16.520 And anybody who wants to accuse me of inciting violence, like they tried to accuse you of,

00:34:22.500 well, hey, it's not the first time I've been falsely accused of anything.

00:34:25.860 But the falsehood in that alone tells you, whoever's going to spew that kind of falsehood,

00:34:34.320 tells you how narrow-minded and intolerant and how dense they are.

00:34:39.620 So, you know, I'm going to consider the source if they're going to accuse me of that.

00:34:44.280 When they go up to Prince and they go up to you, like they went up to Carrie Lake and

00:34:47.720 Eric Greitens, they're never going to debate you on the subject matter.

00:34:51.180 I know.

00:34:51.460 Doggone it, I know.

00:34:52.320 No, you know why?

00:34:53.120 Because they know you're bench pressing.

00:34:54.600 Yeah.

00:34:54.880 Right?

00:34:55.080 Because you know oil and gas, you know energy, you know national security.

00:34:58.580 And the Constitution.

00:34:59.840 And you were a tough governor that backed off the corrupt guys in Alaska.

00:35:06.280 They'll never debate you on that.

00:35:07.220 Right.

00:35:07.420 It's got to be the politics of personal destruction.

00:35:09.620 They have to come after you personally.

00:35:11.480 Like they came after Carrie Lake personally, $30 million.

00:35:14.520 They're never going to debate you.

00:35:15.720 So how do you get around that?

00:35:17.280 Yeah.

00:35:17.400 How do you work around that?

00:35:18.380 Because like him, they're not going to sit there and ever debate Eric Prince on national

00:35:21.620 security or geopolitics.

00:35:23.560 Right.

00:35:23.800 Right.

00:35:24.100 What they're going to say is Eric Prince is a bad guy.

00:35:25.960 Eric Prince does this.

00:35:27.120 Me, I'm a bad mom.

00:35:28.460 You know, they'll try to poke the bear on that one. 0.88

00:35:31.980 But no, I mean, personally, you know, I live by the mantra, if you don't live by man's 0.76

00:35:36.380 praise, you're not going to die by man's criticism.

00:35:38.360 But those false accusations that that lead to potential danger when they accuse us of

00:35:45.020 inciting violence, they're just rounding up their base.

00:35:48.460 And who knows what that is inciting in the obstructionists, those who don't want a freedom

00:35:54.600 loving pro-America agenda to succeed.

00:35:56.760 So, you know, I consider the source.

00:36:00.560 But Steve, you, more than anyone, you know that politics of personal destruction because

00:36:05.820 they try it on you over and over again.

00:36:07.600 But it's like President Trump told me.

00:36:09.440 He called right when our Congressman Don Young had died.

00:36:11.780 And President Trump asked if I was going to run, wanted me to run.

00:36:14.340 He called you and said, I want you to run.

00:36:16.260 He did.

00:36:16.520 And he said, I said, you are not a real politician.

00:36:21.200 Thank you.

00:36:21.740 You know, you're loyal.

00:36:23.460 Right on.

00:36:23.840 That's great.

00:36:24.520 But anyway, he said, Governor Palin, you got nothing to lose.

00:36:28.940 He goes, I got nothing to lose either.

00:36:31.280 Imagine if we're both in there together.

00:36:33.040 But he also said, though, consider what they've said about you, your kids, what they've done

00:36:37.180 to you, what more can they do?

00:36:39.520 That's freeing.

00:36:40.960 You know, that allows the shackles to be off.

00:36:44.220 And that's not a racist term because, you know, I'm going to get dinged for saying shackles

00:36:48.500 now too, Steve.

00:36:49.980 However, shackles are off, freedom, nothing to lose.

00:36:54.040 So, you know, it's just balls to the wall and go do the right thing.

00:36:57.000 When you say nothing to lose, you went to the Alaska Capitol as a small town governor

00:37:01.880 and they kind of didn't take you seriously.

00:37:04.160 They said, well, she's a former sportscaster and an athlete. 0.75

00:37:07.180 Not jock, but, you know, who is a small, what's what's all up?

00:37:09.820 You went there and shocked them by saying, because I remember when I did the interview,

00:37:13.260 they said she knew more about the oil and gas industry and the corrupt practices than

00:37:18.060 we knew in Eutectom.

00:37:19.140 When you go to Washington, D.C., I mean, God bless you what you did in Alaska, but the scale

00:37:24.420 of the corruption and incompetence in Washington, it's Babylon on the Potomac, right?

00:37:30.160 It is a wash in five and a half trillion dollars a year of a federal budget that's all

00:37:36.320 graphed in corruption.

00:37:37.700 What is Sarah Palin going to do after she wins when you come to Washington? 1.00

00:37:42.100 Because I remember in the film, you said you told me your favorite movie is Mr.

00:37:45.620 Smith Goes to Washington, right?

00:37:46.920 So what do you do when you get to Washington, D.C.

00:37:49.360 as congressman representing the great state of Alaska?

00:37:51.660 Yeah.

00:37:51.900 And I wish I could stand on the floor and repeat the speech that he gave, you know,

00:37:55.020 because that meant everything.

00:37:56.620 But yeah, you know, fighting corruption is that's got to be the name of all of our games

00:38:01.660 or our country's going under and the things that they've gotten away with thus far.

00:38:05.580 It's sinful. 0.96

00:38:06.620 It's disgusting. 0.94

00:38:07.900 It's a sickness there in D.C.

00:38:10.680 But someone like me, when I talk about nothing to lose in terms of nobody buys me or sells

00:38:17.320 me, I don't have those conflicts of interest.

00:38:19.200 I don't have crony capitalism in my blood whatsoever.

00:38:22.300 It's people like me who can hit the ground running to get up there with a promise to drain

00:38:26.880 the swamp, the good guys in office today, they need reinforcements.

00:38:31.440 And that's why I'm running.

00:38:32.960 You know, I've always said, you don't need a title.

00:38:34.840 You don't need an office to get out there and fight for what's right and make a difference.

00:38:38.180 But our good guys need some votes along with them.

00:38:41.280 And I want to provide that.

00:38:42.680 But not only that, I do want to provide leadership to remind the other congressmen, don't be scared.

00:38:48.240 Don't be frightened.

00:38:49.520 They're not going to kill you.

00:38:51.300 They're not going to kill you.

00:38:52.520 They will try everything they can to destroy you and your family.

00:38:56.340 But you stand strong.

00:38:57.860 And I hope my track record can help prove that it's doable.

00:39:02.240 There's a lot of discussion about investigations, investigations of Fauci, investigations of the

00:39:06.860 laptop from hell, Hunter Biden's, all these investigations about the southern border, all

00:39:11.880 the emails and how did we get to the invasion of the southern border in your priorities when

00:39:16.480 the laptop from hell, the Biden corruption, Fauci, what happened in the Wuhan lab?

00:39:20.140 You got the southern border, the whole Ukraine situation.

00:39:23.700 What's been going on with the Chinese Communist Party, their infiltration and influence peddling?

00:39:28.020 As you rank order those, right, not in your voting because you're going to win.

00:39:31.940 When you come to D.C., walk us through your priorities.

00:39:34.580 Yeah.

00:39:34.860 OK, that's a great question because you just, you know, rattle off so many corrupt acts that

00:39:40.980 are going on today that are being accepted.

00:39:42.820 It does, though, bring me back to the reason I'm running the good guys in office needing votes.

00:39:46.880 I'm so tired of hearing about investigations.

00:39:49.040 Whatever happens to the findings, nobody goes to jail on their end, on the corrupt end of

00:39:55.620 this.

00:39:56.220 So that all needs to be changed.

00:39:58.160 So, you know, bottom line, big picture.

00:40:00.460 Do you think these investigations ought to be real, they ought to be meaningful, and there

00:40:03.580 ought to be consequences for whether it's the finance of the Wuhan lab, the Fauci's operation

00:40:08.360 or Hunter Biden?

00:40:09.820 You have to get to the facts.

00:40:11.120 I know.

00:40:11.320 You're not going to have a show trial like January 6th.

00:40:13.660 You're actually going to get there, do it even handily.

00:40:15.720 But you're saying pursue it to its ultimate end and then hold people accountable.

00:40:19.600 Not only that, but we can't give up on the other corrupt acts that put our country in

00:40:23.960 the position that we're in, like the 30,000 emails that were erased and all.

00:40:28.400 That was OK.

00:40:29.560 Crooked Hillary did that. 1.00

00:40:31.540 Benghazi.

00:40:32.160 Oh, my gosh.

00:40:32.660 All these things were.

00:40:33.560 Oh, yeah.

00:40:33.740 We're going to investigate.

00:40:34.540 Congress should be having these badass, huge rallies on the steps of the Capitol, and it 0.77

00:40:42.200 should be congressmen.

00:40:43.400 They have a platform.

00:40:44.860 They should be having these press conferences.

00:40:47.040 They should even be having fireside chats.

00:40:49.840 They should do whatever they can to get out there with a message to the public to let them

00:40:53.020 know what's going on, right?

00:40:54.780 I don't know why they don't seize the opportunity.

00:40:57.460 Number one, I don't.

00:40:58.500 Yes, sir.

00:40:58.860 Go ahead.

00:41:00.160 Congress has the power of the purse.

00:41:01.760 Congress, the beast does not get smaller until we starve it.

00:41:07.520 The most important thing the next Congress has to do is start to scale down the spending.

00:41:13.260 The reason the five counties surrounding Washington, D.C. are per capita the wealthiest in the

00:41:18.080 country is because of that $5 trillion that flows through there. 0.89

00:41:22.060 Congress, the reason we're doing stupid gain-of-function stuff in the Wuhan labs is because we spend 0.86

00:41:28.280 too much money. 0.99

00:41:29.560 Yes.

00:41:30.320 Starve the beast.

00:41:31.820 That's how you drain the swamp, by literally putting bureaucrats and the NGOs and all the

00:41:37.040 affiliated characters out of business.

00:41:39.320 Make them go get a real job and pay real taxes.

00:41:42.220 Correct me if I'm wrong.

00:41:43.060 When you went to Wasilla with what Eric Prince just said, didn't you balance the budgets in

00:41:47.260 Alaska, if I remember correctly?

00:41:49.380 I did, and then when I was governor, and in my city of Wasilla, I got rid of personal

00:41:53.720 property taxes, reduced real property taxes, all that kind of stuff that in the end actually

00:41:59.260 generates revenue for government because it speeds up your economy.

00:42:03.220 Did the same thing as governor with record vetoes in order to cut down on the spending,

00:42:08.740 of course.

00:42:09.120 You don't make any friends doing that in the legislature, so you're always butting heads

00:42:12.160 with your own party even.

00:42:13.520 But okay, so yeah, power of the purse, that's huge.

00:42:16.740 But do you agree with me, though, that Congress should be using their platform either collectively

00:42:22.560 or individually?

00:42:24.120 Get out there and tell the people what's going on.

00:42:27.080 You've got a global platform.

00:42:28.540 We've got to bounce.

00:42:29.240 I know you do.

00:42:29.900 How do people find out about the campaign and, most importantly, how they support you?

00:42:34.640 Oh, that's awesome.

00:42:35.320 And it's really simple.

00:42:36.460 It's sarahforalaska.com is the website.

00:42:38.900 All of our positions are spelled out in black and white, pro-life, pro-gun, all this.

00:42:44.040 None of the other candidates did that.

00:42:45.880 Isn't that a surprise?

00:42:47.000 So sarahforalaska, nothingscapitalized.com, and you'll see all my positions.

00:42:53.280 I think a lot of people already know kind of which way I lean.

00:42:56.120 And people can volunteer and they can send money?

00:42:58.220 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:42:59.300 And that would be appreciated.

00:43:00.760 Mike Lindell said you had an amazing fundraiser last night.

00:43:03.140 Governor Palin, it's an honor to have you on here.

00:43:05.400 You're a fighter.

00:43:06.160 And we want to see you in leadership when you get to Congress.

00:43:46.080 The years have proven that we need to be prepared.

00:46:47.380 Getter has arrived.

00:46:49.180 It's time to say what you want, the way you want.

00:46:52.580 Download now.

00:46:56.760 We're live at CPAC.

00:46:58.680 It's the war room.

00:46:59.560 We've got the CPAC posse right back there.

00:47:01.700 By the way, I've got the president's pollster, John McLaughlin, right here.

00:47:05.980 Mark, how many people want President Trump to announce quickly and run in 2024?

00:47:13.940 It's a 100% poll.

00:47:15.580 I wish the election was today.

00:47:17.340 Tell me, okay, first off, your Orban's also his poster. 0.57

00:47:21.020 Victor Orban was here, gave a magnification.

00:47:23.000 Tell us about the speech first.

00:47:24.220 And why would Victor Orban come to Texas?

00:47:26.780 Well, because, I mean, his conservative message is really important in terms of the conservative

00:47:32.180 political action conference went to Budapest after he got reelected with his highest margin

00:47:37.040 ever.

00:47:38.060 And when you think about the kind of climate that he was in, where the opposition, the

00:47:42.480 Soros-funded opposition, had united against him, they picked one candidate, and Orban won

00:47:48.180 with a record majority over 50%, which is really hard to do in a parliamentary system.

00:47:53.960 And he's got a record number of seats in his parliament.

00:47:56.780 And it was a time of surviving a global pandemic.

00:48:00.800 The economic shutdown is coming out of the pandemic.

00:48:02.740 This is the fourth time he's running a road.

00:48:03.980 Yes.

00:48:04.180 And every time it's a bigger landslide.

00:48:06.040 Talk to us about the Soros influence over there.

00:48:08.520 How tough is it?

00:48:10.000 It's real.

00:48:10.560 Because they fund, it's a free country, a free democracy, where most people get their

00:48:15.520 information off the internet.

00:48:17.140 And the leading TV station over there is an anti-Orban, left-of-center station.

00:48:22.200 And the internet is funded by NGOs, that Soros funds.

00:48:27.500 And then you also have the idea of our State Department.

00:48:30.280 Remember when you were in the White House?

00:48:31.460 Yeah.

00:48:31.680 Our State Department was funding anti-Orban media over there.

00:48:36.940 Big time.

00:48:37.260 Which was crazy.

00:48:38.460 And so...

00:48:39.160 Insane.

00:48:39.600 So, in effect...

00:48:41.240 Are you glad he came?

00:48:42.640 Oh, I'm... 0.66

00:48:42.960 He said, to hell with the globalists, I'm here in Texas.

00:48:44.980 Yeah, but it's a very important message that he had, because he's saying the world needs

00:48:49.800 a strong America.

00:48:51.080 Yes.

00:48:51.320 Western civilization needs a strong America to defend our Judeo-Christian values, because

00:48:57.220 he says, European countries, when you've been over there, they understand what it's

00:49:02.320 like without a weak, without a strong United States, when the United States is weak, because

00:49:06.620 what happens is, he said, Orban, we talked about Nazism, they don't believe in God, they 1.00

00:49:12.060 don't have our values, Soviet communism, they don't have our values. 0.77

00:49:15.720 Yes.

00:49:16.060 And if you have a world like that...

00:49:17.960 Yes.

00:49:18.840 In effect, bad things happen.

00:49:19.940 One of the Judeo-Christian West, one of the linchpins of it. 1.00

00:49:22.360 Before we talk about polling, I want to remind everybody, John McLaughlin was President Trump's

00:49:27.520 pollster in 2016.

00:49:29.500 Yes.

00:49:29.720 Do we want John McLaughlin to be the lead pollster in 2024?

00:49:33.380 Can I hear it?

00:49:34.120 Yeah!

00:49:35.120 If President Trump runs, are you coming back?

00:49:37.780 How can I leave the war room?

00:49:39.320 Come on, I got...

00:49:39.980 Okay, let's talk about some numbers.

00:49:41.240 Why is Joe Biden collapsing?

00:49:43.300 What's the real reason for it?

00:49:44.380 Could he have possibly had 81 million votes and have the bottom fall out as quickly as it's

00:49:49.080 fallen out?

00:49:49.460 I mean, you do this for a living.

00:49:50.780 The math doesn't add up.

00:49:52.140 Doesn't that reinforce his illegitimacy?

00:49:54.240 Well, look at...

00:49:55.820 The media won't even look at Wisconsin, where the state Supreme Court said their election

00:50:01.200 was fraudulent, in fact.

00:50:02.780 And there was the Supreme Court in a majority vote said there were illegal ballots.

00:50:08.000 We warned them because David Plouffe, who was Obama's campaign manager, worked for Zuckerberg.

00:50:13.380 He put out a book in 2020.

00:50:15.540 He thought up the whole concept.

00:50:16.760 Yes.

00:50:17.500 Where they were going to...

00:50:18.800 Because our strategy in 2016 was bring out new voters.

00:50:21.940 Big time.

00:50:22.500 And what we did...

00:50:23.540 The Trump voter.

00:50:23.940 Right.

00:50:24.480 People who were conservatives that didn't vote for Romney in 2012.

00:50:28.020 We brought out millions of them.

00:50:29.300 Record turnout.

00:50:29.680 Former Democrats' independents.

00:50:32.020 He reversed it on us, and nobody at the RNC, the Republican National Committee, picked up on it.

00:50:36.760 They were talking about their grounding.

00:50:38.120 Why was that?

00:50:39.100 Why?

00:50:39.300 Because I know that you were telling them to give them a heads up.

00:50:41.380 We were talking about what Mark...

00:50:42.780 Mark Elias put the Transition Integrity Project.

00:50:45.840 It's not like they hit it.

00:50:47.040 Right.

00:50:47.260 They bragged about it.

00:50:48.260 Raheem Kassam and I went around the nation and were given...

00:50:51.240 These secret recordings they're talking about are actually me giving talks throughout the country

00:50:55.660 talking about the...

00:50:56.460 Elias said, Trump's going to lead by a red tsunami at 10 or 11 o'clock at night on election night.

00:51:03.400 But just wait for all the mail-in ballots to be counted.

00:51:07.020 It'll be three weeks, and then Joe Biden will be named president.

00:51:09.360 They knew what they were doing, and Zuckerberg paid for it.

00:51:11.680 What's amazing is no one at the Republican National Committee has filed an IRS complaint against Zuckerberg

00:51:16.940 because that $400 million was tax-exempt.

00:51:19.940 The other part is no one has filed an FEC complaint against them

00:51:23.580 because they basically violated the laws when they were doing that.

00:51:28.120 And the Republicans, you know, like our friend Pat Caddell used to say, 0.90

00:51:31.960 Democrats are the crooked party. 1.00

00:51:33.700 The Republicans are the stupid party. 1.00

00:51:35.120 And it's like we were fighting it and saying they're going to steal the election. 1.00

00:51:39.680 In states like Texas, where Ken Paxton stood up to them, in Florida, where they stood up to them,

00:51:44.120 North Carolina, and didn't change the election laws, we won.

00:51:47.840 In states like Georgia, where they signed off on the drop boxes that were unsecure,

00:51:52.160 that people were dropping multiple ballots in, that you've got documentaries out on now, Dave Bossie.

00:51:57.900 Dave Bossie.

00:51:58.460 I think you're in that, and they've got 2,000 mules.

00:52:02.800 You know the facts.

00:52:03.880 Talk to me real quickly about Maricopa County.

00:52:06.300 That's the Republican, the McCain establishment, the anti-Trump forces trying to slow-walk Cary Lake's victory.

00:52:12.480 Well, I don't know.

00:52:14.100 I was like, I was working for Jim Lehman, who's a really good guy, good conservative.

00:52:18.020 I like Jim a lot.

00:52:18.680 Very good guy in Arizona.

00:52:21.240 But, you know, sure.

00:52:23.160 I mean, you know.

00:52:24.420 Does it shock you that Maricopa County, one of the biggest cities, famous, one of the most sophisticated cities in the world,

00:52:29.480 were now 125,000 ballots and going to bleed them out at 5,000 at a time?

00:52:33.400 They knew this was coming for two years.

00:52:35.380 Yes.

00:52:35.720 It's not, and it's Republican.

00:52:37.120 Pinal County and Maricopa County are Republican in control.

00:52:40.080 Well, this is the problem because Soros goes out there and funds Secretary of State.

00:52:43.760 Big time.

00:52:44.100 And so you have Katie House, who beat out Steve Gaynor, and Ducey didn't fight for Steve Gaynor four years ago in 2016, you know, in 2018.

00:52:54.280 When he won.

00:52:54.920 So it cost us in 2020, and it cost us probably, you know.

00:52:59.940 How do people, you're the president's poll, sir.

00:53:01.800 How do people get you on social media?

00:53:03.340 How do they follow what you've got to say?

00:53:04.400 Well, you go to mclaughlinonline.com, and on social media, I'm on Getter, I'm on social.

00:53:11.380 You've got to watch John McLaughlin.

00:53:14.040 He's the best.

00:53:14.660 At JMCL.

00:53:16.080 You're signed up for 2024.

00:53:17.680 You're on.

00:53:18.240 Well.

00:53:18.640 When he announces?

00:53:19.400 When did he announce this?

00:53:21.740 I wish the election was tomorrow.

00:53:23.180 We would win in a landslide.

00:53:25.440 Trump's ahead of Biden, 49-44.

00:53:27.420 He's ahead of Kamala Harris by eight points.

00:53:29.440 It would be a landslide.

00:53:30.740 People want him back today.

00:53:32.200 Yes.

00:53:32.760 So.

00:53:33.080 Well, what we've got to do is announce first and then get on with it.

00:53:35.800 Okay, folks, love you being here.

00:53:38.100 We'll see you back here tomorrow at 5 o'clock in the warm-up.

00:53:40.940 Come in the morning if you're here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

00:53:43.760 We're going to now continue on at 6 o'clock over at Frank's Beach.

00:53:47.080 We've got a whole packed house of crew.

00:53:48.800 We want to thank John McLaughlin.

00:53:50.060 Thank you.

00:53:50.420 This guy was my wingman.

00:53:51.340 He rode shotgun with us in 16.

00:53:53.300 He's a tough hombre.

00:53:54.820 And I'll tell you one thing.

00:53:55.860 He always told the president exactly what was going on.

00:53:59.220 That's why we were highly confident in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, to roll the blue wall.

00:54:04.400 McLaughlin, you're a hero.

00:54:05.440 Thank you, Steve.

00:54:05.940 Okay, see you back here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in the warm-up.

00:54:08.720 Let's take down the CCP.

00:54:12.540 We've got a great song.

00:54:14.100 We will play until they're all gone.
