Summary
On today's show, John Avlon, Michael Duffy, and Michael Bloomberg join us to discuss what's going to happen as the sun begins to set on the 2020 Democratic primary race. They discuss why Donald Trump is the only thing standing in the way of a Joe Biden re-election victory, and why the rest of the country should vote for him.

00:00:00.000
Donnie. And I do not believe that Americans will support a guy and put him back in the White House
00:00:08.360
who betrays Israel, who betrays Ukraine, who betrays Taiwan and who betrays freedom fighters
00:00:17.260
across the globe. I don't believe it. Donald Trump betrays pretty much every issue where
00:00:24.400
the American people are. I mean, it starts with Putin and it starts with our role in the world
00:00:28.060
and it starts with protecting Ukraine, starts protecting Israel. But it also goes to protecting
00:00:32.480
a woman's right to choose for her body. It goes to protecting against immigration, against the
00:00:37.540
borders. It goes for protecting against democracy. You know, there's a right track, wrong track issue
00:00:43.300
in polls all the time. There's a right side, wrong side. And what's stunning is beyond his own kind
00:00:48.720
of personal liabilities on the issues. He's wrong on everything. And two things are going to happen
00:00:54.620
as you guys touched on this in the previous hour, as we get close to the election. Number one,
00:00:58.640
we're going to see more and more of Donald Trump. To me, if I had my way, there would be a town hall
00:01:02.760
meeting every single night. So as the light shines brighter on Trump, people are going to, as you
00:01:07.360
talked about, it's a binary choice. It's Trump providing the vote of Biden. And as the light
00:01:11.800
can shine on the issues, he and the Republicans are on the wrong side of just about every issue
00:01:17.600
that matters to Americans. And that's what wins and loses elections. Why do they bash America so much?
00:01:24.620
Yeah. And you know, the irony is if you travel around the world, which I'm fortunate enough to have a
00:01:30.840
chance to do several times a year, you know what the rest of the world sees right now? They see
00:01:38.200
America with the strongest economy. They see America with the most advanced technology. America's
00:01:45.180
universities still the brightest light on the horizon in terms of academics and research. They see
00:01:51.680
American companies still exceeding in terms of their global reach. But you know what they really
00:01:57.360
look down their nose at? They look down their nose at Donald Trump being the leader. I mean,
00:02:01.820
what they, everyone says to you when you travel, well, you wouldn't elect him again, would you?
00:02:07.200
Hasn't the country learned? You wouldn't ever give this guy power again, would you? Tell us that
00:02:13.120
he's not going to be reelected. Please tell us that you've learned your lesson.
00:02:17.400
So the only blemish on the great country of America worldwide is in fact, Donald Trump.
00:02:23.540
And can I make a suggestion? I move that every newspaper in America quits doing any fact checks
00:02:29.940
on Joe Biden until they fact check Donald Trump every morning on the front page.
00:02:35.560
It is ridiculous that the New York Times fact check Joe Biden on something. I mean,
00:02:40.100
he vomits lies. Trump vomits lies. And every day, over and over and over again. And it's just
00:02:47.640
ridiculous that the New York Times is doing a fact check on Biden while they let Trump,
00:02:53.120
while they're numb to the torrent of lies coming out of Trump's mouth.
00:02:56.900
And Mike, we were talking about how Donald Trump is narrowcasting when he talks about abandoning NATO
00:03:02.300
allies and making them pay up. Very unpopular minority opinion, according to this new poll that we've
00:03:08.000
been talking about this morning. And so too is this Senate position on Ukraine. Americans believe
00:03:13.120
it's important to help Ukraine in this fight. They don't want to see Russia win. So they're
00:03:17.260
digging deeper and deeper in fealty to Donald Trump into these positions that are not popular
00:03:22.600
in this country. Yeah. Led partially by people like Lindsey Graham. Yeah. And we could have just
00:03:28.240
pointed out a sad, spineless figure that we thought we knew, but we don't really know.
00:03:34.660
And to Joe's point that he just raised about people in this country, what they believe in,
00:03:39.960
they believe in the country, first of all. And I'm wondering, yesterday, the former guy,
00:03:45.980
D.J. Trump, here's what he said in that town hall meeting. We have a country that's dying.
00:03:51.660
We have a country that's failing, a failing nation. We have a nation in decline. We are a nation in
00:03:59.980
decline. And my question is, to the people out there watching, to the people who go to work every
00:04:06.400
day, who raise their children and pay their taxes, why is it that this new Republican Party, so many of
00:04:13.580
them, people like Donald Trump, people like Lindsey Graham, why do they hate America?
00:04:20.280
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on
00:04:31.800
these people. Here's one time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. The
00:04:37.980
people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do
00:04:41.920
everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:04:44.920
And where do people like that go to share the big line? MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
00:04:53.100
these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to
00:05:11.480
It's Thursday, 22 February, the year of our Lord 2024. Welcome to CPAC, the War Room Posse.
00:05:20.480
Wow. Wow. Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it. I know you want longer cold opens. You want more
00:05:31.280
Morning Mika? Are you, but they call, they call you, on Morning Mika, they're calling you a
00:05:38.460
confederacy of trash. Are you, are you trash? Do you like, do you like Morning Mika?
00:05:47.460
No. You know, we do this to torment you. Now the winners, thank you. Looking very perk after
00:05:55.340
yesterday. How many people were at the, were at the pregame? Oh, wow. Did you guys, did you like it?
00:06:02.720
Was it good? We got some really good news coverage. You know, you guys, I think it was 500 people there
00:06:09.240
for five hours. Nobody left. It just wasn't the free lunch because you stayed longer than lunch,
00:06:15.480
but really, really thank you guys a lot. We're here for three days of CPAC. We had the official
00:06:21.100
kickoff yesterday. We're going to go in the audience. This is audience participation.
00:06:25.360
So we're going to do almost all of it live and we're bringing very few guests on the Skype,
00:06:29.780
just if we absolutely have to for breaking news. What we're going to do is get all the folks at
00:06:33.780
CPAC, they're going to speak. We're going to roll them in here, make sure that you guys get to meet
00:06:37.340
them and then they'll go in the audience and work the crowd. Okay. We're also going to have a bunch of
00:06:41.540
our authors, the filmmakers, everybody will be hanging around. So we want to make sure this is
00:06:45.660
interactive with you. We're doing this because you guys are the best audience in the world. And quite frankly,
00:06:50.440
coming out of this, we got to drive to five November for a big victory, right?
00:06:58.520
They're all, I'm morning Joe saying Trump's broke. There's no money that MAGA is losing
00:07:03.440
enthusiasm. Is Joe Scarborough right? Natalie, your thoughts so far of what you see at CPAC?
00:07:12.100
Well, I'm so excited to be here with the war room posse.
00:07:15.340
And I just have to say, I know, I think we're going to get into what's going on, but
00:07:21.020
no conspiracies, but no coincidences. For those of you who have AT&T, I'm sure you know, there's
00:07:27.340
all these weird cyber attacks going on. Now, of course it overlaps with the first day of CPAC,
00:07:33.100
though I think they should have timed it with the force multiplier Academy, I would say.
00:07:36.620
But even more interesting, I'm sure you guys remember from the world economic forum, what was
00:07:41.080
one of the prevailing themes that they discussed, a cyber pandemic, cybersecurity attacks. So I would
00:07:49.360
just say it's interesting for the past few weeks, you've really seen in the mainstream media, this
00:07:53.860
refrain that the Chinese Communist Party is going to attack us from a cybersecurity perspective.
00:07:59.580
But when does the mainstream media ever talk critically of the Chinese Communist Party? Never.
00:08:04.160
So I would just say that is, I think, an interesting theme that we should watch throughout
00:08:08.380
this conference. How many phones went down this morning? Let's have a vote. By the way,
00:08:13.540
can we make sure, I love the real microphone, let's get, I want to make sure we get the
00:08:16.680
audience on the screen. Can we do that? Our camera can't do it yet? Let me know when the camera can.
00:08:22.780
Okay, fine. Small technical difficulty. We'll work through it.
00:08:26.160
Cyber security. Cyber security, we're being attacked already.
00:08:29.420
We're going to start in the audience. You know, I think we create, it's easy in the war room to
00:08:35.840
create, you know, like celebrity monsters. Is Ben Burkwam? No, I'm just kidding. Ben, you're the
00:08:41.200
best. Ben, Ben, Ben, you're going to get detailed back to the Darien Gap. Steve, I'm actually heading
00:08:48.260
to the Darien Gap Sunday. But Steve, we're not confederacy, whatever they called us.
00:08:53.340
No, no, no, no, no. They called you a confederacy of trash. Yeah, yeah. We're not a confederacy of
00:08:58.760
trash, Steve. We are we the people. That's what this is. The war room is we the people. And they
00:09:05.220
don't want that. But yes, we have amazing people out here. God bless you. Tell me where you are.
00:09:10.660
What's your name? Where are you from? And why are you here? My name is Spencer Reyes. I'm from
00:09:13.940
Wilton, Connecticut. And I am here to share the moral corruption and the moral bankruptcy
00:09:20.500
of Western leaders that has led our country into a despair of national debt and to despair
00:09:28.000
in the primrose path of Ukraine and on horrible foreign policy by Western elites. Appreciate
00:09:34.180
it. All right, sir. Come here. What's your name? Where are you from? Where are you running?
00:09:37.000
I'm retired Brigadier General Chris Mookie Walker, former commander of the West Virginia
00:09:45.540
Air National Guard. And I'm the real MAGA candidate for West Virginia. I'm running for the U.S.
00:09:50.540
House of Representatives, West Virginia District 2. Please visit ChrisWalkerForCongress.com to check
00:10:01.340
Ho, ho, ho. You're a retired Brigadier General?
00:10:08.760
Well, because while Trump was in office, everything was better. Our military was better. When Biden
00:10:15.860
came into office, everything turned upside down. And I was biting my teeth. I just retired
00:10:21.700
back in October. And I had to bite my lip throughout all of that. But now I'm telling it like it is.
00:10:31.040
General, by the way, General, make sure one of our producers, we're going to get you in the next
00:10:35.720
couple of days up here and give the whole spiel. West by God, Virginia, right?
00:10:47.260
Can you please tell me your name and what brings you here?
00:10:49.620
My name is Anthony DiBella, and I am from New Jersey. I'm here because I am trying to be a force
00:10:55.100
multiplier. I wanted to meet everybody. I wanted to meet Steve. I've been a war room posse member since
00:11:00.100
impeachment to pandemic to now. And I actually am here with my producer, Chris. We have a YouTube
00:11:06.480
channel. It's called Renaissance Man AD. It's a Christian Catholic YouTube channel. And by divine
00:11:10.760
providence, the first person that we met today was Bishop Strickland. And we got to have mass with
00:11:19.600
How about you, young man? What brings you here?
00:11:21.920
My name is Mo Snipes from Charlotte, North Carolina, and I'm here representing the Teenage
00:11:26.200
Republicans. Tell me about what it's like to be a Teenage Republican in 2024.
00:11:31.400
It's a little bit difficult, but unlike what the media shows, teenagers around the country,
00:11:36.240
around my state, are a buyer for Trump and are a buyer for the Republican Party. We're excited
00:11:41.600
Dude, are you an endangered species? What is a Teenage Republican?
00:11:53.340
And Cameron. In fact, our whole staff were teenagers. Now, what's a Teenage Republican?
00:11:58.400
We are Republicans, and we are on fire for the Republican Party. We like to help out any
00:12:04.960
candidates that need us. And we just love America.
00:12:11.960
I like how he said, how he did everything that he said he was going to do.
00:12:17.580
Project. We need more. Give it to you again. You got to project. These mics aren't the
00:12:21.880
I like how he did everything he said he was going to do. When he said it, he did it.
00:12:30.360
Yes, ma'am. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Ma'am. I'm speaking to the ma'am. Come here. Big fan.
00:12:34.480
Big posse. Big posse. You guys are my family. Sandra from Bel Air, Maryland.
00:12:42.880
I'm here to see everybody. It just, yeah, these are my people. They understand me and
00:12:51.400
This morning, I'm getting ready. I hear the word ramparts in my head. I'm literally hearing
00:12:56.600
What do you mean when we say get to the ramparts? What does that mean to you?
00:13:03.600
Are we going to stop? By the way, they had a, I think it was in Politico this morning.
00:13:08.040
They had a piece in Politico about Speaker Johnson had addressed the leadership in the
00:13:13.920
House. And in talking to the House, he had actually brought in some biblical references
00:13:18.640
and he was talking about maybe having to shut down the government, secure the border.
00:13:27.300
And there were, yeah. Who wants, who, if we don't shut down the border, you want to shut
00:13:36.760
This is what, okay. So he said that and Politico got some anonymous sources that were in the
00:13:41.400
room to say, we didn't like the biblical stuff. We don't want to shut down the government.
00:13:45.700
MSNBC will pick on us. Morning Mico say bad things about us. So we don't want to do it.
00:13:50.260
Are you tired of weak and worthless Republicans?
00:13:55.260
Well, Steve, I was reading what the mainstream media was saying, not just about CPAC, but
00:14:00.020
of course you guys, the attendees and ABC's lead story on the event. They said three questions
00:14:05.660
you should be asking yourself ahead of CPAC. And the first one I would love for the audience
00:14:10.020
to answer. How much retribution do Republicans want?
00:14:14.840
Oh yeah. Is unlimited an option? Do you want retribution?
00:14:23.980
Now it's because they stole your country, right? And trying to destroy it. It's, it's, it's, uh,
00:14:36.240
Yes. We call it justice. What's the other questions ABC asked?
00:14:40.640
Um, they want to know who you want to be the vice president for Trump. And lastly, picking
00:14:49.580
battles in the culture war. Oh yeah. No, that's they, but they lead with retribution because
00:14:54.460
they know that. So everybody, okay. Maybe you should listen to the speeches as we head toward
00:15:00.940
a presidential election in November. One thing you can be sure of 2024 will be a tumultuous
00:15:06.920
year. Like no other. How will your hard earned savings fare during this year? You're already

00:16:23.180
Okay, welcome. We're back here at CPAC Live, CPAC 24. By the way, this audience is a little sleepy
00:16:29.300
this morning. Have you had your way? Warpath? Come on. I can't hear you. Hang on one second.
00:16:41.520
We're here with Ambassador, she was an ambassador in the Trump administration, Carla Sands. Let's
00:16:46.280
give it up for her. Okay, here's the question. You ran for the Senate. I'm going to go to Ben
00:16:52.360
and Jane in a second. But how are we going to win the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania? We
00:16:57.520
win Pennsylvania. Trump's the president. How are we going to do it, Carla? So how do we
00:17:01.080
win throughout our country? Yeah. How do we win throughout our country? Here's how. And
00:17:06.920
you're not going to like it. We have to early vote. We have to vote early by the laws of your
00:17:10.860
state. Let me give you a quick story. In 2022, John Fetterman, on election day, had about a million
00:17:17.820
ballots banked. On election day, Mehmet Oz had about 250,000. Pennsylvania has 50 days of early
00:17:26.400
voting. Democrats used every one of those. And how do you come to 750,000 votes behind in one 12-hour
00:17:35.020
day when your opposition has had 50 days? You don't. 750,000 is impossible to overcome. How can
00:17:41.840
we win? By voting early. Voting early? Voting early. How do we stop? What about the mail-in
00:17:48.280
ballots in Pennsylvania? Aren't they always going to steal it as long as they got mail-in ballots up
00:17:52.580
there with no signature verification? So here's the thing. You can walk it in to your county board
00:17:59.280
election office. It doesn't go through the machines. It just goes through a counter. And you
00:18:03.760
can check online that your vote has been counted. You have to trust this integrity that you can vote
00:18:09.060
early. We have lost every single recent election, including the special about a week ago. Three
00:18:14.680
specials. We lost every one because voters voted early, the Democrats, and they won. Look at New
00:18:20.120
York. We had a snowstorm on election day. But the Democrats banked their votes before that on those
00:18:26.460
nine days. I just got a report that Mike Lindell had to get a flannel sheet and wrap his head around
00:18:30.300
because his head's blown up. But we'll deal with that. We'll deal with that. We'll deal with that.
00:18:33.820
We love Mike Lindell. We love him. We'll deal with that in his segment. But we have to win.
00:18:38.080
And the point is, we have to use every... Okay, we know about their votes. But what about the
00:18:42.680
non-signature verified mail-in ballots? They steal Pennsylvania in 2020. Any doubt about that?
00:18:50.380
No doubt. You know that. We won. So how do we stop Philadelphia and Pittsburgh particularly,
00:18:55.640
just to pick a couple of random spots and maybe a few university towns from just ballot harvesting,
00:19:02.380
fake mail-in ballots? So there's two points. We need young, fearless, tough, conservative
00:19:09.240
attorneys, young men and women that are going to be soldiers to help us now and on election day.
00:19:14.600
And we'll have their back. We have to fund them. The left has, spends hundreds of millions of
00:19:19.700
dollars every election cycle to secure the election to help them in their policies and on election day.
00:19:25.000
We have to do more than go toe-to-toe. But the second thing, you have to energize and inspire
00:19:30.740
people to vote, not to be despaired. I want you to stop talking smack about the votes. And I want
00:19:36.300
you to go vote early. If we overwhelm them with these early votes...
00:19:41.880
Vote early. If we don't use that, we are going to have... You know what Einstein said the definition
00:19:46.980
of insanity is? Do the same thing over and over and expect a different result. We'll look at 2022,
00:19:51.640
2023, 2024 with those specials just a week ago. We have to win. Do you want President Trump to win
00:19:59.820
and secure the border, stop the crazy wars around the world, bring back peace and prosperity?
00:20:04.600
I think we want Trump to win, right? Is this a Trump crowd? I think... Okay. Ambassador Sam,
00:20:08.000
by the way, this is one of Trump's toughest ambassadors, right? How do you... Where do people
00:20:14.440
Right. So you can follow me on Twitter, X. I'm like Carla H. Sands. But also you can go to AFPI,
00:20:20.660
America First Policy Institute. You can also go to AmericaFirstWorks.com. We have a telegram channel
00:20:27.080
there you can sign up for. And we also have weekly trainings by people like Congressman Lee Zeldin,
00:20:32.240
Grant Stitchfield, teaching people how do you talk to your friends, family, neighbors to get them to
00:20:38.180
vote early. Get your vote in. Do it on the first day. Let's practice on the primary so we win in the
00:20:44.000
general and we take this country back. Okay. A mega steel magnolia. Ambassador Sands, let's give
00:20:49.160
it up for... Thank you. God bless you. And Burkwam, what do you got for us? 5,000 miles from Eastern
00:20:55.240
Europe. Tell me your name, sir. My name is George Mihail Nansu and I came here to salute our visionary,
00:21:01.200
our intellectual inspiration. Steve Bannon, thank you very much. We in Eastern Europe, in Poland,
00:21:06.740
in Croatia, in Hungary, in Romania, we had Ronald Reagan as an inspiration. Now we have Donald J. Trump
00:21:13.680
as another inspiration. Why is he an inspiration? He's an inspiration because he believes in the
00:21:18.140
Western civilization. Because he said that we still write symphonies, we strive for excellence,
00:21:23.180
we cherish inspiring works of art, and we honor God. That's why we love him. What is Western
00:21:29.220
civilization? It's Christianity, it's Jerusalem, it's Rome, and it's Athens. It's science, it's politics,
00:21:35.540
and it's contemplation in Christ. Whoa! Boom. By the way, do we wish they taught that in public schools in
00:21:43.320
this country? Yes. So Steve, thank you also for bringing up the great books tradition, the classical
00:21:48.540
tradition, our trust in the Republican system. Talk about what the great books are. When you say
00:21:52.000
great books, explain to our audience what they are. It's your passion for Plutarch and the great
00:21:55.980
lives. It's your passion for Thomas Akempis and the imitation of Christ. It's your passion for the
00:22:01.000
Bible. These are the books. These are the ideas that have consequences. These are the bedrocks of
00:22:06.380
our civilization. It's in the books. It's in our hearts as well. So thank you for everything that
00:22:11.020
you do. Get this man's card. I want to talk to him later. Fantastic. What else you got for us, Ben?
00:22:14.320
Great. All right, sir. Come here. Come here. Tell me your name. Where are you from? Hang on a second.
00:22:18.260
My name is Reggie Randall Sands. I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia.
00:22:22.680
Virginia Beach. I'm here. That's God's country.
00:22:25.360
Oh, yeah. I'm here because I'm an avid Trump supporter. I'm with Fox 5 television and I want
00:22:31.520
to shake your hand. Well, thank you, sir. Honor. Okay. By the way, thank you for the work you're
00:22:35.780
doing. They tell us that President Trump is a racist. President Trump's a xenophobe. President
00:22:41.440
Trump's a nativist. President Trump's an overall bad guy. Do you believe any of that? Not at all.
00:22:47.080
No. President Trump is different with a capital D. He's going to make things happen. He's going to set
00:22:54.780
things in motion. And it's time. It's a new day and it is time. Taylor Swift said, shake
00:23:02.040
it off. It's a new day and a new time. Amen. Thank you, sir. And Trump's the man. Make sure
00:23:06.660
we get his information back on. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Thank you. Hang on one second. Jane, Calamity
00:23:11.420
Jane. I'm in Illinois and I am here, my fourth day back, to join the other four smoke
00:23:25.660
fire and take our country back from these. Hey, guys. All right.
00:23:45.980
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. We're going to fix it. Hang on, Jane. We're going to fix
00:24:03.080
your mic for a second. Let's go back to Ben Berquam. What's your name? Where are you from?
00:24:06.660
Bob McGuffey. I'm Bob McGuffey. I'm from blue captured Connecticut. I'm running for Congress
00:24:12.000
in Fairfield County against Jim Himes. And these these entrenched blue Democrats.
00:24:17.480
Hold on. Hang on. Hang on. Aren't you just wasting your time running in a place like Connecticut
00:24:21.340
is a total waste of time? No way. It's why is it not? Because you're a good man, McGuffey.
00:24:25.280
Why are you not wasting your time? Because it has to be done. These candidates, these blue
00:24:29.360
candidates are these entrenched Democrats. They are vulnerable on their voting record.
00:24:34.680
They come into the district. They talk moderate. They vote with the hard left. Himes is typical
00:24:39.460
of them and we can take him on. You have to beat Hearst Media in Connecticut, but I can
00:24:44.540
do it. BobMcForCongress.com. Help me out and I'll deliver it. Thank you, sir. Hang on for a second.
00:24:51.040
Can we get a shot? Can we get a shot of the truck? Is that the yellow roses of Texas back
00:24:55.960
there? That's the Texas. That's the Texas syndicate. Look at that. Texas syndicate there.
00:25:01.120
Why are there so many pretty girls in Texas? This must be the water. We're going to get them.
00:25:05.740
We worked in the next break. We'll get to them. You guys hang right. Can we get that
00:25:09.360
shot? Okay. Yeah, there we are. Going out to the world. Uh-oh. Dave Brett's in the house.
00:25:15.680
Dave Brett! We love Dave! By the way, I want to tell you, I want to tell you, I think the
00:25:22.140
Gaylord Hotel has already told us, if the noise keeps at this length, this sound, we're going
00:25:27.020
to get the boot. So, Gaylord. Suck on this. Let's hear it!
00:25:37.400
Come on, man. It's CPAC into the war room. They hadn't even started drinking yet. Wait
00:25:42.820
till that happened. Wait till the afternoon show. Dave Brett, that was a really great prayer
00:25:47.200
yesterday. Tell me what your thoughts were about the whole day yesterday.
00:25:50.100
Did you guys like Force Multiplier? Do you feel like Force Multipliers? Yeah. We got to
00:25:58.040
get a deeper session of the young people telling you about social media. The algorithms, all
00:26:02.780
that. I thought it was fascinating. We got to do more of that. Vish and Poso, Natalie, and
00:26:07.040
where's the Queen of the Trolls? Is Grace Chung around? Yes. Where's Grace? Grace Chung's around?
00:26:17.020
Okay. She made the opening bell. Dave Brett. Yes, sir. How you doing? Thanks for the prayer.
00:26:22.720
No, you're welcome. No, it's your interviews. First off, first off, in Brett, does Brett look
00:26:28.720
like a movie star? Doesn't he? Or a TV star? Maybe not a movie. TV. I was a fan of his when
00:26:33.960
I was in high school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're traveling around the country and I got that great
00:26:38.160
tan. You got the whole look. You're a tennis pro, right? No, but I am coming out with a new
00:26:44.380
Brat Pitt shampoo series. Hold it. I'm going to push it on your show. Hold it. I get
00:26:50.300
President Trump's cologne and I get your shampoo. No, I don't have a shampoo. I'm just kidding.
00:26:55.780
No, it's great. Yeah, we want everybody to know he does not have a shampoo line he's pitching.
00:27:00.280
No, the world out there is dark right now when we hear the news, but I come in here and I
00:27:05.780
see these faces and I get to say hey to everybody. And this is America, right? This is the faith
00:27:10.860
in America. Tucker just had that interview with Michael Benz. If you haven't watched yet,
00:27:16.440
share that. And then the next day, the Oxford Don interviews Benz. That is some dark stuff.
00:27:24.740
That is some really dark stuff that just feels overwhelming. But Benz himself says, and Steve
00:27:30.960
has been saying, there is a window right now. The left got out over their skis. They tried
00:27:36.680
to fake out America on this thing called democracy. They're trying to define democracy as ownership
00:27:42.100
of all the institutions that they own on the left. I think the war room posse has a different
00:27:47.500
version, a different view of what democracy is. Can I hear you all say, we the people are
00:27:53.320
democracy. We the people are democracy. Wow. Any other route than going through you,
00:28:00.240
the American people. Let's hear it one more time. We the people are democracy. Of course,
00:28:06.180
we're a constitutional republic. Short commercial break. We're going to be back in the war room.
00:28:18.800
True or false? Using your tax refund to pay off credit card debt is a smart thing.
00:28:24.560
Actually, that's false. Donewithdebt.com published a brilliant strategy designed to
00:28:30.220
let you keep your hard-earned tax refund and reduce or eliminate credit card debt. Most Americans
00:28:36.680
owe thousands in credit card debt. In fact, Daily Mail's got a story that 56 million Americans carry
00:28:42.920
credit card debt. And that debt will take years to pay off, if you pay it off at all. Donewithdebt
00:28:49.720
found that filing bankruptcy is usually not the answer. And taking out loans to pay off credit cards
00:28:55.200
usually increases the debt. When you engage Donewithdebt, their legal experts and skilled
00:29:01.360
negotiators take on the credit card companies for you. Their winning strategies are designed with
00:29:06.200
one goal. Solve your debt situation quickly and permanently. First things first, chat with a

Matt Schlapp just came over here to officially give us permission to get louder.
00:29:45.380
Yes, please. Is that good? Are you having fun at CPAC already? This is the old thing. Matt
00:29:52.780
and Mercedes join us. Matt, you just kicked off CPAC. Tell this audience and the vast TV
00:29:57.380
audience out there and radio audience, what about CPAC this year? It's where globalism goes
00:30:02.220
to die. Tell us what we can expect over the next three days. Well, I like how we started.
00:30:06.880
Do any of you like Byron Donalds? All right! 97% ACU score in Congress, the kind of guy who wants
00:30:14.560
to fight, who's out there fighting for Donald Trump. He's speaking right now. And we're going
00:30:19.000
to hear, Steve, you gave us this advice. You said, hey, let's run The Apprentice for VP.
00:30:24.400
Let's hear from everybody everyone's talking about. So over the course of the next couple
00:30:29.080
Real America's Voice is sponsored in the vice president's poll. Don't you guys want to have
00:30:32.800
a vote about who tells President Trump what your recommendation is for VP?
00:30:36.660
Well, here's the deal. Is Steve Bannon going to be on the poll? That's what we should ask
00:30:41.100
ourselves. Is someone going to vote for Steve Bannon? That's what I want to know. I think
00:30:47.900
No, I got the best job in America. Just cutting on the mic and letting the war with
00:30:53.380
posse talk. Mercedes, tell us what to expect. We got President Trump on Saturday, but you
00:30:58.600
have international. You're covering every different vertical we're interested in. What should
00:31:02.500
people, how can they get the best CPAC? Is it about networking? Because you've got so
00:31:06.500
much. You've got things going on in the main stage. You've got breakout rooms. You've got
00:31:10.060
lunches, dinners. Tell us, this audience wants to know how they maximize their CPAC experience.
00:31:15.720
Well, if you're single, you'll probably find like your future spouse here. So start looking
00:31:20.780
for that. Make sure they meet the credentials, the conservative credentials.
00:31:27.860
No, the best CPAC experience is just take it all in. Get energized because you've got
00:31:36.820
to go back to your communities and spread the word, not of just conservatism. It's not
00:31:43.560
just that. It's about freedom. It's about fighting for what we love, this great country.
00:31:49.820
It's about protecting our families. So if there's a topic or a theme you really want to hear,
00:31:54.920
it's all there on the CPAC stage. I do want to add, we launched it yesterday. Steve Bannon
00:31:59.600
was their critical part of our CPAC International Summit. We had over 20 countries represented
00:32:05.460
and they are sharing the same battles we are. And it's our moment now that you have to understand
00:32:12.440
it is why these Latin American leaders are speaking. We have President Bukele, if you haven't
00:32:17.560
heard him before from El Salvador, guess what he's done? Cracked out on MS-13 in El Salvador.
00:32:22.960
Telling the Americans here, the Salvadorians, come back to my country. I want to make this
00:32:28.340
country great again. And then we have President Javier Malay, who will talk about take a chainsaw
00:32:35.320
and try to destroy, you know, take down these useless institutions and call out communism for
00:32:42.740
what it is. Very strong messengers coming over here to send a warning signal to Americans.
00:32:47.540
I've got a question for you guys. I know the theme of CPAC this year is where globalism goes
00:32:53.060
to die. Godspeed on that. But I'm just curious. Obviously, we're in DC. I'm sure none of us really
00:32:59.000
want to be here, but we'll make the exception. Well, we're in Maryland. Not great, but we'll make
00:33:03.800
the exception for CPAC. But obviously, there's ongoing negotiations about continued aid to Ukraine.
00:33:09.360
How do you think this event, the activists, the war room posse, the grassroots crew is going to use
00:33:14.460
this event to really make sure our congressional Republicans hold the line and don't give more of
00:33:19.860
our hard-earned taxpayer dollars? I think that's a very important message. We've already spent over
00:33:24.160
$113 billion in Ukraine. And at this point, you've got to ask yourself, who's talking about a peace
00:33:29.900
deal? I don't think anyone is. Only Trump. Only Trump. And that's a problem. So we have to keep
00:33:35.480
putting pressure on them. We have to protect our borders, first and foremost. And stop throwing
00:33:42.760
away money without accountability, without an exit strategy in Ukraine. Okay. CPAC took action
00:33:48.500
yesterday. I don't know if everybody got a chance to see the summit, but you passed three resolutions.
00:33:53.060
That's right. My phone was blown up this morning about the resolution, but particularly the one on
00:33:57.140
WHO. Tell us, what were the resolutions? What drove you guys to take this action?
00:34:01.320
Like you were there, Steve, 20 countries. We have CPACs in six or seven countries now. There's a lot
00:34:07.160
of countries who came to this CPAC wanting to get going in their country too. And it just hit me as
00:34:13.240
my head was hitting the pillow last night that, or the night before, we ought to do something and send
00:34:19.740
a message to the world. So the first thing we did is all these people in the media who were saying
00:34:24.680
Republicans are cozy with Vladimir Putin and we're colluding with Vladimir Putin and all the
00:34:30.020
conspiracy theories. Joe Biden is using Vladimir Putin's tactics and other dictators tactics to put
00:34:37.460
his opponent in jail. So CPAC called out Joe Biden for election interference and calling it a crime.
00:34:45.260
All right. All right. On WHO, I got to give our vice chairman, Bill Walton credit. He did the deep
00:34:51.520
dive on the WHO. Do you know we're really weeks, months away from basically surrendering our national
00:34:57.700
sovereignty? May 24th. Thank you, ma'am. To the WHO, we are calling on all freedom loving people
00:35:05.660
to begin a grassroots campaign in their country to defund and get out of the WHO. All right.
00:35:12.480
Do you guys support that? Does the WHO suck? Better said, that would have been a lot faster
00:35:21.080
resolution. Then the third thing we did, which we are proud of, as Mercy says, is we have a neighbor,
00:35:28.720
literally a neighbor down the street who has a Ukraine flag and a pro Hamas yard sign. These
00:35:36.540
people are sick. They want Israel to wave a white flag and immediately move to make peace with the
00:35:43.460
terrorists trying to destroy them. Yet they want us to fuel a war in Europe and take the lead.
00:35:48.860
CPAC stands with Israel and all 20 countries stood with us. Amen.
00:35:55.020
Guys, last thing. President Trump's speech on Saturday. How many CPACs has he made in a row
00:36:02.280
or total? And he was rejuvenated coming to CPAC Orlando in the first 90 days he went down to
00:36:09.640
Mar-a-Lago after they stole the election. CPAC Orlando is what really springboarded him to get
00:36:15.300
back into this race, become the presumptive nominee. CPAC and Ronald Reagan are just linked
00:36:20.840
at the hip. And here you got Donald Trump, the outsider. He beats the Reagan record this year.
00:36:26.080
This is his 14th appearance at a national CPAC. And it's very important that he leave this CPAC
00:36:33.320
hearing from all of you that we've got his back and we're going to help him take our country back.
00:36:38.300
Can we give it up for Mercedes and Matt Schlapp? Do you love being a CPAC 2024?
00:36:46.580
Guys, thank you so much. Mercedes, Matt. Jane Zirkle, take it away. Let's hear from the posse.
00:36:51.700
Can you please tell me your name and what brings you to CPAC?
00:36:54.360
My name is Pam Contouris and I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Allegheny County to be specific.
00:37:00.020
So that's why I'm here. We love Carla Sands. I've been a proud posse member since I was a little late.
00:37:06.680
So it was on the impeachment, right? So we have an integrity group called Team Red. And what we do
00:37:15.160
is we try to have election integrity. We backed John Fredericks to be one of our delegate members.
00:37:21.440
And we started a new Team Red Next Generation for the young people from 18 to 35. And it's playing
00:37:27.440
whack-a-mole on a daily basis to try to protect our integrity. And we are God and constitution first.
00:37:34.740
Love it. Action, action, action. How about you, sir? What brings you here to CPAC?
00:37:39.040
Hi, I'm Ken Lubeck. I'm from Virginia Beach, Virginia. And I'm a election data analyst. And
00:37:44.480
we started a 501c3. So we could purchase the seventh most expensive data set of any state
00:37:50.260
in the country. That's Virginia. And we found a lot of stuff.
00:37:54.960
We found duplicates. We did a calculation, 6 million characters times 6 million characters.
00:38:01.260
That's how many registered voters there are in Virginia. And we found over 10,000 duplicates
00:38:06.160
with different registration numbers where both of them voted. That's one example. That's only one.
00:38:11.640
How about you, sir? What brings you to CPAC? I love a MAGA hat. Who loves a MAGA hat?
00:38:17.900
My name is Justin Holley. I'm originally from Los Angeles, but now I'm in Fulton County, Georgia.
00:38:22.220
I came here to network and be amongst like-minded individuals.
00:38:25.660
But mainly to contradict the Biden regime and the mainstream media narrative that Trump
00:38:30.900
can't and won't get the black vote. He can and will get the black vote.
00:38:35.840
What do you think about what's going on in Fulton County?
00:38:39.080
I think it's atrocious what's going on in Fulton County. Fannie, you need to quit.
00:38:43.280
What's your social media? How do people get to you?
00:38:45.400
Follow me at Justin Holley MAGA on IG or August Sky Entertainment. Also, Steve, if I may,
00:38:51.340
I'm a musical artist. I just did a song with 4G out of a blow. It's called My President.
00:38:58.780
I got the truth. I don't care what fake news says without any evidence.
00:39:04.620
I'm rocking with the one in MAGA red. Yeah, that's my president. Yeah, yeah.
00:39:10.520
Whoa! Hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it, hold it.
00:39:14.320
Somebody sign this brother up. We're going to get you on later. You stick around.
00:39:21.340
That's it. And we got the number two Prentzel crew over here.
00:39:24.760
Let me see it, ladies. Let me see it. Suck on that.
00:39:27.560
Hold it, hold it. This is a family show. I can't believe these lovely ladies.
00:39:34.660
We are the Bannon's Bombers. We are hardcore MAGA patriots.
00:39:44.080
And we are here to learn, to get educated, and to show, and to spread it.
00:39:50.680
We met here as volunteers, and we come here every year, and we share the room.
00:39:54.800
Tell that story. How did you guys meet, and how did you guys come back together?
00:39:58.740
We had a face. On Facebook, we found each other looking for our roommates.
00:40:02.600
And so we, strangers, came in as roommates, and we are lifelong friends now, and we are MAGA people, and we love this country.
00:40:09.760
That was a CPAC. That's what we wanted yesterday to be. You get to networking, meet kindred souls all over the place.
00:40:14.480
And they brought a present for my new baby. Incredible.
00:40:17.420
And they brought you. They brought you a present, too, Steve.
00:40:19.860
Ben, Ben, don't block. Don't block. Don't block.
00:40:22.960
Ben, we got enough of you in camera. I want to say, I want to say, guys.
00:40:28.280
This is about the posse. Your big old ugly head's in there all the time.
00:40:32.380
No, no, you guys hold them. I want you guys to hold them.
00:40:51.280
We got to sort that mess out down there in Georgia.
00:41:06.400
Who wants to take out Kemp more than Fanny Willis?
00:41:19.080
I'm going to turn to one of the good guys, Dave Bratt.
00:41:23.720
Yeah, let's give another round to Matt and Mercedes Schlapp for all they do at CPAC.
00:41:37.820
And I'm going down to Florida again, coming up.
00:41:41.720
If you want me to come visit a city near you, just email me there.
00:41:45.680
And let's give a hand to Natalie also for the co-hosting job she does.
00:41:56.280
And I always like to give a shout-out to Steve.
00:42:03.040
So give Steve a shout-out for running the whole program.
00:42:10.640
I'll just give a little theology take for one minute.
00:42:14.420
I get a lot of people who say, young kids, I don't want to go into politics because it's dirty and it's messy and whatever.
00:42:23.520
My response to that is, was Jesus in the Old Testament at the Exodus as well?
00:42:32.580
Was he with the kings and the prophets and the judges and Samson and all of them?
00:42:37.060
Was God providentially at work in our Revolutionary War?
00:42:44.560
Was God providentially at work in our Civil War?
00:42:49.040
Was God providentially at work against Hitler and that evil regime?
00:42:57.180
Is God still with the United States of America?
00:43:05.340
If you're saying yes to that, you've got some work to do.
00:43:25.860

00:43:36.740
If you owe back taxes, COVID was your lucky break.
00:43:40.200
Tax courts shut down, the IRS paused, and you skated.
00:43:45.700

00:46:28.780
He's already told us we've got to cut the song off.
00:46:47.320
Yes, I write, Don't Boris Get to the Chorus Rock and Roll.
00:46:52.500
And when I got inspired by this show four hours a day, I just had to write this song,
00:46:58.900
which I think could actually be an appropriate theme song for the war room.
00:47:03.980
Anybody who watches the war room on a regular basis, it's like getting a PhD in statecraft.
00:47:14.120
What I like is I hear things that are not in the echo chamber.
00:47:18.060
I hear things that actually make us smarter so we can go out there.
00:47:24.300
When you talk about the Speaker of the House, you said, I'll never forget this.
00:47:27.980
You said, you know, we like that he's a Christian, but we don't need a Bible study.
00:47:32.520
What we need is somebody who's going to be a warrior like in the Old Testament and the New Testament.
00:47:39.620
You go out and you talk to somebody at a party or a dinner, and they've never heard anything like that before.
00:47:46.780
Phil is a top real estate investor, and Phil and the family are very close to President Trump.
00:47:52.840
Talk to me about what do you expect on President Trump on Saturday?
00:47:59.840
I'm looking for him to be the statesman that I know that he is.
00:48:04.740
I'm looking for us to charge him up because, you know what, after all, he's a mere mortal like the rest of us.
00:48:21.040
But, you know, when I see him in Palm Beach at Mar-a-Lago and he's at dinner, he, after the $350 million judgment, he was smiling.
00:48:35.400
He was walking around saying hello to his friends and the members.
00:48:53.340
We're going to put it in rotation of our songs.
00:49:05.800
Talk to us about what we should be focused on at CPAC, this amazing crowd of warriors.
00:49:10.320
You're one of the biggest, people are criticizing you, saying you're a proponent of Christian
00:49:32.780
Our side, I'm going to teach you something here.
00:49:37.180
I was in Congress, the reason the Republicans are not effective is because 200 Republicans
00:49:43.280
are allowed to run 200 individual races for Congress.
00:49:58.500
We need the Speaker to do that cut the Ukraine and the everlasting wars, the debt, and the border
00:50:04.900
If Mike Johnson runs on those three and forces his members to run on those three and you support
00:50:13.600
them, what you're doing, what Steve says every day is you're the heroes here, right?
00:50:18.160
You are the full faith and credit of the United States of America.
00:50:21.620
And if you put heat on your senators and congressmen and women to do the right thing, this country will
00:50:28.240
be saved, and it's all thanks to God first, and then you, the people, and then we're happy to play our
00:50:35.180
little part, but he plays the bigger part than most.
00:50:46.180
Today, Grace Germany, and I'm a faithful watcher of Steve Bannon and the Real America's Voice,
00:50:55.740
and I have Dish TV so I could just record him every day.
00:51:08.800
First of all, I see I'm from the sovereign state of California, or the Republic of California,
00:51:13.320
where the Constitution is slowly dying, and my shirt says it all.
00:51:21.500
Merry Fourth of St. Patrick's Day, because it's Joe Biden.
00:51:27.060
Well, I used to get my news on the main street, you know, main channels, and then I switched
00:51:35.760
And now people ask me, where do you get your news?
00:51:37.680
And I say, from Steve and the war room, because that's where the news is.
00:51:46.440
I tried to say to Steve yesterday at the academy.
00:51:53.780
And I know I'm speaking seriously now, and I'm funny.
00:51:58.100
We need to organize this group of people and the group of people that's watching us.
00:52:03.320
And we need to do exactly what Naomi Wolf did with the Pfizer documents.
00:52:08.820
We need to break up into groups and have tasks and have some action.
00:52:14.200
Because I think we all want to do something, but we're not quite sure what to do.
00:52:31.780
I'm a homeschool mom getting sued by Biden's White House officials for flying Trump flags
00:52:36.020
next to the Biden bus in 2020 with that viral video we all saw on the news.
00:52:40.460
They are claiming that we gave them emotional damage, and they want financial compensation.
00:52:47.080
That is what they said, and we have, from staying in litigation, we have footage from
00:52:50.840
inside the bus that proves that they were trying to run people off the road.
00:52:54.400
They are lying to us, and it is something, they're infringing on free speech rights at
00:53:01.460
We're going to get you on the show and actually talk about that.
00:53:04.840
When I saw the video, I definitely did not see you guys running them off the road.
00:53:11.880
Okay, short commercial, birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:53:25.200
Learn why the prime reserve currency is so important.
00:53:29.260
I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.
00:53:37.500
First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:53:41.500
This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email
00:53:50.360
Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence
00:53:54.820
and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this
00:54:00.560
governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:54:03.580
In fact, some of the guests I've had on the war room believe that the government will soon
00:54:11.060
If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even
00:54:17.000
vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:54:21.340
I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:54:27.540
Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission
00:54:31.620
to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility
00:54:40.040
