A new report from the States United Democracy Center finds that election deniers are using their power to weaken free and fair elections in 17 states, including 7 governors, 5 sheriffs, 5 secretaries of state, and 11 attorneys general.
00:00:28.540I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.480Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.180If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.540War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:53.020So intent on demonstrating their loyalty to the cause of election denialism.
00:00:58.920That they went forward with this unlawful vote.
00:01:01.040This is a really troubling sign from our Senate that they are fully on board with the types of attacks on our elections that we've been seeing since Donald Trump came on the scene.
00:01:10.720That was Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Call on this program on Friday telling us about the unlawful effort by the legislature in his state to remove their nonpartisan election chief from office.
00:01:23.880All in service of the disgraced ex-president and his big lie.
00:01:29.960A new report by States United Democracy Center finds that inside state legislatures all across our country, election deniers are using their power to weaken free and fair elections.
00:01:42.000Quote, in all, 23 election deniers currently hold a statewide office with election oversight power in 17 states.
00:01:50.140They include seven governors, five secretaries of state and 11 attorneys general.
00:01:55.160The report details the critical steps these election deniers have taken.
00:01:59.620Quote, nine states have polled out of the Electronic Registration Information Center, a partnership that helps make sure voter rolls are accurate.
00:02:07.460Election deniers have moved to restrict donations to support election funding, hampering election officers that are already dealing with an onslaught of threats and conspiracy theories.
00:02:18.460Election deniers who hold office are also creating or expanding special units to prosecute election crimes, including voter fraud, which is practically non-existent.
00:02:28.360It is about scaring voters and keeping election lies alive.
00:02:31.840Do government work in a post-truth, post-fact environment?
00:02:36.720I mean, there's no evidence of fraud, right?
00:02:39.92030 percent of Americans, 80 percent of the Trump base thinks there is.
00:02:55.780How do you how do you feel like you're talking to a wall?
00:02:58.440Like, where does this conversation go from here?
00:03:00.520Well, it's breaking down and it's affecting everyday lives, right?
00:03:04.540Because if in your crazy head you want to enact, you know, election reforms and leverage the funding of the federal government to do that because you want to accept the outcome of the election, then you're affecting people who rely on the government to function.
00:03:18.380And oh, by the way, that's kind of where we find ourselves right now with Republicans who want to defund DOJ, who want to defund, you know, any election disinformation programs that we have in the country.
00:03:29.420But I am optimistic because I believe that if we get this right, democracy just needs to live long enough to live forever.
00:03:38.280That means getting through just one more election.
00:03:41.420So worst day for democracy is probably 2016.
00:04:21.740And people like Mark Elias and others have recognized that if we go to court, there's still enough reasonable judges who can be a firewall for many of these abuses.
00:05:01.360When you were talking about the red flashing light on Friday, it's like, what if we have an economic recession right before the next election or the election after that?
00:05:08.520And voters are voting on their pocketbooks instead of democracy.
00:05:23.100And I think that if we cannot break through in the MAGA world – and I'll just put some names to what Mary McCord said.
00:05:29.580If the people that work for Donald Trump don't speak, if people that can't speak to MAGA world can't tamp this down and take that number from 35 percent of the country, whatever it is, down to 20 percent, a real minority, then I think we're in big trouble.
00:06:16.240Like, I hope to not be out here for you next time.
00:06:19.100Rebukes of the Republican front runner yet.
00:06:22.340President Joe Biden told a crowded Broadway theater in New York City last night that he was running for re-election because Donald Trump was determined to destroy the nation.
00:06:35.680Democracy is at stake, he told the audience at the event, a crowded fundraiser for the president.
00:06:40.460According to the Associated Press, Biden said that hate groups have been emboldened and children to go to school fearing shootings.
00:07:24.420It is Tuesday, 19 September, year of war, 2023.
00:07:27.060You see the rhetoric that they're using.
00:07:29.520Also, Tom Nichols, a former Naval War College professor at the Atlantic, has a piece in the Atlantic, one of their top pieces about the cult of Trump is now more dangerous than ever.
00:07:40.000It's metastasizing, become more and more dangerous.
00:07:43.120This rhetoric, they're ratcheting up the rhetoric.
00:07:46.100And I want to quote the illegitimate president of the United States standing on a Broadway stage that MAGA Republicans and President Trump are set to destroy the United States of America.
00:08:23.720Well, Steve, remember, this is the same type of people who said all along that the Trump movement was about destroying democracy, a danger to democracy, a threat to democracy.
00:08:33.920And the way to translate that to understand what they're actually saying is they're a threat to liberalism.
00:08:42.120They're a threat to the neoliberal globalist order.
00:08:48.040They're a threat essentially to the regime's total control over every institution in this country.
00:08:55.620And if you understand how to translate it through that filter, you call it the big media filter, whatever you want to call it, that is them hitting the panic button over and over and over because they can see the ascendancy of MAGA in every poll across the country.
00:09:13.520They can see President Trump making these moves to stand with the workers up in Detroit, to stand with the auto workers, that he has reformed politics in this country to remake the Republican Party into a party that stands for the workers and the people of this country.
00:09:30.700Now, there may be some vestiges and some money to interest that haven't quite gotten the message yet on the Republican side.
00:09:37.700But no matter, because the regime is responding exactly as you would see.
00:09:43.960They are in full on panic mode and they're pulling every lever and twisting every dial they can.
00:09:49.920Let me play. I've got a lot to get through with you.
00:09:54.940I'm going to come back to this topic, but I want to play a very disturbing.
00:09:57.860I want to play Zelensky's at the U.N. to hear Biden sing his praises.
00:10:08.320You know, we talked about this the last time and I'm going to give you news you probably don't want to hear, but you probably also already know is true.
00:10:18.760Conservative support in this country for this conflict has dropped precipitously.
00:10:25.460And we discussed some of the reasons the last time you were here.
00:10:32.520It's their continent and they needed to do more from day one.
00:10:35.780And in comes the United States flooding Ukraine with money, you know, basically a blank check for a period of time, you know, culminating recently with five hundred million dollars earmarked for green energy in Ukraine.
00:10:54.500That's the last thing that is important in Ukraine right now.
00:10:57.460Green energy. Their survival is the most important.
00:12:34.620Look, I think that whether it's Republican, Democrat or anything in between, that and I'm, of course, not a political analyst, but as an observer of it, as one more citizen, I would say that I'm very confident that whichever party might support decisive action, complete action in this.
00:12:58.340It would be a political win, not to mention a principled one.
00:13:01.420And by action, I mean, give them everything they need now rather than bit by bit over the time.
00:13:08.520Simply allowing the light of the Ukrainian nation's honesty to shine brightly.
00:13:13.920Next week, the teeth of the Russian devils will gnash ever harder.
00:13:18.020And their rabid mouths will foam in uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see a favorite Kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes.
00:13:26.900And this puppet of Putin is only the first.
00:13:30.700Russia's war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down and justice will be served as we in Ukraine are led on this mission by faith in God, liberty and complete liberation.
00:13:41.820What? So you have the gangster Zelensky who deploys.
00:13:50.500OK, that could have been a little tighter.
00:13:54.700Jack Pasoble, you only got about 30 seconds.
00:13:58.580The reason I played the long Sean Hannity roll up to Pence to Sean Penn is your work in exposing to the American people what the reality is led to the big drop in numbers.
00:14:09.300There's no chance the House, anybody that puts up in the House will be primaried and they're gone.
00:14:57.440The former KGB Colonel Vladimir Putin, who, by the way, is no friend of the United States, called the U.S. dollar's drop in dominance objective and irreversible during the recent BRICS conference in South Africa.
00:15:13.360As Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa formally agreed to use local currencies instead of the U.S. dollar.
00:15:25.740We call this the de-dollarization movement.
00:15:30.540Now, as demand for the dollar weakens, the buying power of the dollar weakens.
00:15:34.380That is why Birch Gold Group is busier than ever.
00:15:37.880Investors and savers are looking to harness the power of physical gold held in a tax-sheltered IRA.
00:15:46.880Text BANNON, that's B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 for your free info kit on gold.

00:16:10.760As the U.S. dollar continues to receive pressure from foreign countries, digital currency, and central banks, arm yourself with information on how to protect your savings.
00:16:21.640Text BANNON, to 989898, that's BANNON, at 989898, to claim your free information kit.
00:17:42.700We've all tried to put forward the reality to the American people.
00:17:48.280But you have a – from your heritage, being a former naval intelligence officer, you have a unique grasp of the region and have done such an incredible job in articulating what reality is.
00:18:02.300Was that Sean Hannity – has somebody taken over Sean Hannity's body?
00:18:07.500That whole tee-up was kind of like he was – was he channeling you last night?
00:18:11.740Were you like in a sand channeling through Sean Hannity?
00:18:15.140Why? Because that brother right there basically laid the reality case that Jack Posobiec talks about every day, sir.
00:18:23.720Well, Steve, as I've always said many times on the show, we don't get involved with the occult.
00:18:30.360We say the prayer to St. Michael every single day.
00:18:33.500That's what we do in the Poso household.
00:18:50.860He would sit up there with his CIA lapel pin telling us how great it is.
00:18:55.120And you remember, this is when Hannity used to come on after Tucker, before Tucker was sacked over these very same reasons by the Murdochs.
00:19:02.700And Tucker would come out and expose the lies of the Zelensky regime.
00:19:07.280And then Hannity would come on and he'd bring on Jen Griffin and he would bring on all these other people from the Pentagon and say that Tucker's lying to you.
00:19:22.440And then this is, of course, coming back.
00:19:24.240And if you read what Ukraine has written on this, this hit list, which is controlled by Ukrainian intelligence services, the SBU, this list, which is known as Murotvorets, where they've they've actually, as in their words, liquidated various reporters and activists that have exposed specifically what Ukraine is doing in these eastern provinces of Donbass and Donetsk.
00:19:51.300One of them, an Italian journalist, Andrea Riccelli, Dugin's daughter, Darina Dubina, was killed in an actual assassination using a car bomb outside of Moscow for her, may have been intended for the father.
00:20:39.020The proud boys, the correct to the rest, they will use this as evidence in court against you.
00:20:44.840And so my reporting on the ground in Ukraine last year is directly cited in my entry now on this site.
00:20:56.760The fact that Ukraine, many times, and there was another one just this week, just this week, Steve, where a market was hit in Ukraine by a missile.
00:21:19.140And of course, Zelensky was out immediately claiming that it was a Russian targeted attack.
00:21:24.160But if you actually look at the trajectory of the missile, the markings on the missile, you could tell that it was launched from Ukrainian territory.
00:21:33.980And now even the New York Times, believe it or not, is coming out and agreeing with my assessment early on that this actually was a Ukraine launched missile.
00:21:43.500So this was this was just about a week ago when Tony Blinken conducted his surprise visit to Kiev.
00:21:51.720Now, apparently, because of my reporting, because of my visit there, I've now been labeled an anti-Ukraine propagandist and essentially a collaborator.
00:22:02.000This is the same type of rhetoric that we've seen from the far left of the United States, the same rhetoric that we've seen from the regime.
00:22:12.600And if you're not, if you're listening to the radio show in Atlanta or Pittsburgh or throughout the country where we are, or if you're on the podcast, this is why I need you to go to get our morning where we put out all the information and the graphics of this.
00:22:30.540So if you look at the screen, if you're watching on TV, on the streaming services, that is this list they've had a post.
00:22:38.860So I just want to make sure that we understand, Jack, the crime that you committed.
00:22:44.400The crime that you committed was putting forward the facts against regime media in that sense, which is cheerily and lied about everything.
00:22:55.800Posobiec was on here on the day before the invasion, and he was on here the day of the invasion.
00:23:01.060And with Jack Posobiec and our team with Harnwell, myself and others, I want you to show in over one and a half years where we have been wrong on anything we've put forward.
00:23:11.880And now you're in a situation where McCarthy had the Ukraine pin and they're all thing right now, even in this debacle of a CR, it can't be included because they would get no votes.
00:23:30.000Because with Fox News and all conservative ink and all the neocon neoliberals and, of course, MSNBC and CNN, the New York Times, the Biden regime, all of it.
00:23:39.540But all of it, and even President Trump at the beginning, not good on this topic, very good now, not good at the beginning.
00:23:49.920Posobiec's crime is telling the American people, for the good of the Ukrainian people, remember the charnel house, they have 50,000 combat dead men, women, children, young men.
00:24:01.080The biggest business in Ukraine right now is getting young men to get the hell out or their families to get them out.
00:24:06.360They have a crisis of manpower because people just understand they're being thrown to the charnel house and lied about it.
00:24:53.040It's simply allowing the light of the Ukrainian nation's honesty to shine brightly.
00:24:59.420Next week, the teeth of the Russian devils will gnash ever harder, and their rabid mouths will foam in uncontrollable frenzy,
00:25:07.040as the world will see a favorite Kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes.
00:25:12.400And this puppet of Putin is only the first.
00:25:15.500Russia's war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down, and justice will be served, as we in Ukraine are led on this mission by faith in God, liberty, and complete liberation.
00:25:29.540Jack Posobiec, what is that dude's association with the Ukrainian government and Zelensky?
00:25:35.080Right. So Michael Ashton Crillo, who is a 46-year-old man from northern Florida, was a failed Democrat candidate in Las Vegas, failed member.
00:25:50.900By the way, one of the plants within the Proud Boys that was working, apparently, with other Democrats and federal investigators
00:25:57.800to try to urge Proud Boys to get involved with events that preceded January 6th and then led into January 6th,
00:26:05.420then travels to Ukraine, joins the Ukrainian military as one of these international volunteers, along with Malcolm Nance,
00:26:13.760even though Malcolm Nance has already returned back from there, and is now coming up saying,
00:26:18.740and as disgusting and ridiculous as this presentation is, putting Americans on kill list and then saying,
00:26:24.640we will hunt you down, there's an American blogger by the name of Gonzalo Lira,
00:26:28.860who was arrested in Ukraine by this Mike Ashton Crillo and these forces.
00:26:38.080And so even though it looks ridiculous, and you're asking, where are they hiding the cabasi,
00:26:43.260that there are serious actual crackdowns being conducted,
00:26:48.540the intelligence services using the word of that guy to go after Americans who happen to set foot
00:26:56.000on the territory of Ukraine. And we continue to fund them. We continue to fund these operations.
00:27:03.480We continue to put this out. And Steve, I would just say to the American government,
00:27:08.460to the Congress, not one more red cent while they are putting Americans on kill list. This isn't just
00:27:15.700about me. This is about every American. I understand Elon Musk was on this list. Tucker Carlson,
00:27:21.480Viktor Orban, by the way, not an American, but the prime minister of Hungary was put on this list.
00:27:26.020Now, not a single American should be at Tulsi Gabbard. Tulsi Gabbard, an American, a Democrat,
00:27:32.040by the way, for speaking out against the war, not one more cent should go to Ukraine until every
00:27:37.080single American is off this list. And if there are any Americans that are currently in Ukrainian
00:27:42.960custody for the quote unquote crime of conducting journalism and conducting reporting, they should
00:27:50.060be released immediately. And honestly, if anyone's going to go up to the United Nations, it should
00:27:55.160be the State Department and our UN ambassador going there and denouncing Ukraine's war crimes for
00:28:00.900locking up reporters like Gonzalo Lira.
00:28:02.660No, there should be an immediate inspector general. We haven't gotten the, we haven't gotten the audit.
00:28:09.080We haven't gotten any accounting. They just, the Reuters, I'll get back. Jack, I know you're busy.
00:28:13.200I just got to hold through because we're going to, we're going to, we're going to, yes, not hold the line,
00:28:17.860pull the plug on all of it and start doing criminal charges. Reuters is reporting. The biggest problem
00:28:23.880they got is the graft and corruption. They just fired the six co-heads of defense, the undercard on the
00:28:30.220defense ministry, all six in one swoop. Do you get the feeling that the unthinkable is going to happen
00:28:37.120soon? Well, I do. But between the distractions and smoke screens in the media, we probably won't see
00:28:44.020it coming. That's why it's smart to invest in emergency food right away. As they say, it's better
