On today's show, Stephen K. Bannon is joined by CNN's own Aaron Miller and Jeff Zeleny to discuss the latest in the Joe Biden vs. Peter Navarro Senate primary battle and the implications for the future of the 2020 Democratic primary race. Plus, a special guest appearance from Don Jr. on the latest episode of The War Room.
00:01:57.000About the GOP 63% saying Biden is not legitimately elected, but it is incredible.
00:02:04.580Yeah. I don't think we can be surprised anymore, but we can still shake our heads that about two-thirds of the Republican electorate,
00:02:11.200depending on which primary state you're jumping to, believe something that's a fugazi, that's fake.
00:02:15.740We all know that Biden legitimately won that election, yet two-thirds of Republicans believe otherwise,
00:02:20.640depending, again, on the state you're looking at.
00:02:22.480And that just shows the stranglehold that Donald Trump has over the Republican Party.
00:02:27.200There's still maybe about a quarter of that Republican Party that's willing to go the other way.
00:02:31.340That is that strongly or somewhat disapproved that Jeff was pointing out.
00:02:34.500But the fact that they are a minority, the majority of the party is firmly in Trump's pocket.
00:02:38.220And I wish we had a billion of you, you know, not the people that we have in Washington,
00:02:42.800including all, you know, the vast majority of those supposedly on our side.
00:02:48.080But first off, that's been disheartening how many Republicans in the House have not seized the opportunity they got in 2022.
00:03:01.100But let me just explain to your viewers and listeners what's at stake here.
00:03:08.260And the broad stroke here is, like, men and women of America throughout our history have shed blood, lost their lives for the defense of this country,
00:03:24.080defense of what we stand for, defense of our values, defense of the Constitution.
00:03:27.540And for me, it's it's it's a it's a much smaller sacrifice to be willing to go to prison, as I now have been ordered to do to defend what is really one of the most important principles of of the Constitution,
00:03:47.120which is the constitutional separation of powers.
00:03:49.300My my my hope and my mission here is that U.S. versus Peter Navarro will be, in fact, the landmark constitutional case.
00:03:58.720I believe it is as it works its way through the appeals courts on the constitutional separation of powers,
00:04:05.660on whether a partisan weaponized Congress can attack a president with with subpoena power.
00:04:16.000Yeah. And take away something that, Don, it goes back to the days of George Washington and the famous J Treaty,
00:04:24.080when George Washington, our first president, basically laid down the law on what's called executive privilege.
00:04:31.920And why is that important? You know, privilege.
00:04:35.480That is Don Jr.'s incredible interview for about an hour with Peter Navarro the other day.
00:04:41.700Don Jr. joins me. It's Thursday, 21 March, year of our Lord, 2024.
00:04:46.000We're going to get into a day with a nothing but heavy hitter guest, Don Jr.
00:04:51.460So yesterday, tale of two cities in the imperial capital.
00:04:56.140The Republican controlled house had overwhelming evidence of the crimes of the Biden family,
00:05:03.300and specifically Joe Biden and taking money from the Chinese Communist Party and also about Ukraine,
00:05:08.840but definitely the Chinese Communist Party black letter.
00:05:11.100The Republicans and they had Gates and Byron Donaldson, great people hammering Jordan,
00:05:17.060but they didn't even sit in for the whole thing.
00:05:18.940The Democrats sit there unified and try to make a travesty out of it.
00:05:22.680In New York City, we have something that has not been seen in the Western world since the Moscow show trials of the 1930s,
00:05:32.080where they're just these show trials and then taking entrepreneurs' businesses to liquidate them to take the cash and pay the state.
00:05:40.740You can compare and contrast what is happening in Washington, D.C. with the Biden crime family versus what's happening in New York on something that, to me, is shocking.
00:05:51.200And it seems like it gets worse every day, sir.
00:05:53.400Well, it does get worse. I mean, you have like liberal Columbia Law University professors that are like, whoa, what's going on here?
00:06:03.040You have the most clear evidence arguably perhaps ever presented about the Biden family and their compromised position as it pertains to our national security.
00:06:14.680No one can still articulate, you know, why are the Chinese giving Hunter Biden a billion dollars?
00:06:19.160I mean, they don't exactly make investments with crackheads.
00:06:21.360That's not part of their business model, Steve, of course, unless you're buying someone off, which is, of course, what was happening.
00:06:27.720You have clear evidence and they keep pretending they don't have it.
00:06:30.840It's ludicrous. And yet for five years, Russia, Russia, Russia was the gospel.
00:06:35.480That was the gospel of the Lord. There was no evidence, but it didn't matter.
00:06:39.300You didn't need anything. We were somehow, amazingly enough, compromised by Russia.
00:06:43.580Apparently my father needed the money or something like that.
00:06:45.560I'm not sure. It just shows you the double standard that you would try to seize assets for a,
00:06:50.940I guess, no one's articulated yet who the victim was, but that doesn't matter because these are show trials.
00:06:58.000These are designed not just to hurt Donald Trump, but to make sure you put a marker out there, Steve,
00:07:02.600that no one in the future ever decides to go against the swamp, go against the Democrat Party because they will come after you.
00:07:10.920They will come after you with all of their might.
00:07:12.900And in these blue states, that's going to go unchecked. The law, facts, none of that means anything.
00:07:20.540You know, like I said, the liberals that are like, well, we don't understand who's the victim.
00:07:23.980How is this happening? How is it going on? It doesn't matter. It's still happening.
00:07:27.900That's why, you know, even the Florida grand jury was done in Washington, D.C.,
00:07:31.700because the Democrats are picking and choosing the places where no one could possibly get a fair trial.
00:07:36.840We have no equal justice under our law. The democracy, so to speak, is totally compromised.
00:07:45.160And honestly, the republic is at risk if this continues, because there is no stopping the Democrats.
00:07:50.300They've shown that they are willing to do anything to remain in power, to control,
00:07:56.120to subvert the democracy they claim that they're defending each and every day.
00:08:03.820As you know, the suppression on social media, I mean, we don't need to get into the details of it,
00:08:08.240but you know how the techno feudalism we live under about the cancel culture.
00:08:14.140But with all that, Harry Enton, CNN's pollster saying, hey, two thirds and oftentimes 75 percent of the Republican Party.
00:08:23.000And I think it's now 40 percent of the American people, and I think an independence is almost 50 percent,
00:08:45.900They weaponized everything they possibly could to rig an election, to put a puppet in charge.
00:08:51.980And make no mistake, Steve, I think Joe's been very effective for the radical Democrats,
00:08:55.460the people who are actually in charge, because he'll sign anything.
00:08:59.500Obama would have loved to have done so many of the things that Joe Biden is doing,
00:09:03.060whether it's the open borders or just basically the America last policies that are destroying our economy and our hegemony across the world.
00:09:10.380He'd have done that, but he was not willing to risk his legacy, his future, you know,
00:09:14.940the 20 million dollar home on Martha's Vineyard and the million dollar speaking fees.
00:11:27.880I get to give a hat tip to you and the team management team over at Winning Team Publishing to think of this, because this question gets asked a lot.
00:11:34.500And they pulled a lot of people contributors on this show together to actually walk through and said, hey, when you want to see what President Trump's focus on,
00:11:42.000when you take the rally speeches and actually write it down into what policy is, this is the drive of President Trump.
00:11:47.560Tell me about New Magadil and where do people get it, how they get over to Winning Team Publishing.
00:11:53.520Yeah, you can get it at newmagadeil.com.
00:11:57.760So Peter, for those who don't know, he was in charge of our China policy, probably another reason why the swamp wants to lock him up and try to take him out.
00:12:05.740He was the one that was hard on China, held them to task.
00:12:09.320I mean, you and him share something in common, that you're some of the people that they've weaponized against you.
00:12:14.260We all have that in common, since they wanted to try and be for treason, a crime punishable by death.
00:12:19.800But, you know, Peter was working on this book for a while.
00:12:21.880It's the principles, basically, of the 2024 policy platform.
00:18:39.020We continue to fund transgender surgeries, the Department of Defense.
00:18:42.320And you and I both care intently about the border.
00:18:45.460You just had Don Jr. on there, former President Trump.
00:18:48.460These are people who are serious about securing the border.
00:18:50.500We know that radical progressive Democrats, led by Biden, want our borders to be open, to destroy our sovereignty, to pile people into our country,
00:18:58.060to allow, yes, criminals who act like animals, as the former president said, to kill Americans.
00:19:45.180Tell them the truth, that they are risking the House majority if they vote for this bill.
00:19:49.920A vote for this bill is a vote against America.
00:19:52.420A vote for this bill is a vote for the mass parole and release of criminals that are killing Americans.
00:19:58.080Any Republican who votes for this bill owns the murders, the rapes, and the assaults by the people that are being released into our country.
00:20:12.520We fought back in January 2023 to get these rules on single-subject appropriations to finally get the process to get your hand around the spending.
00:20:20.840This audience back last summer was staying up all night watching these incredible fights, amendments, fights, and really look like democracy at work.
00:20:34.080Because everybody's asked me this morning and said, Steve, it looks like none of the things we fought for last summer that were, we thought, approved at the time.
00:20:50.820I mean, I can tell you, my staff, the good people here in the Freedom Caucus and others, and some good guys over in the Senate, guys like Mike Lee and Rick Scott and Ted Cruz and Ron Johnson, all of us that would gather and visit, we were working hard at getting those amendments.
00:21:04.900We fought to get great provisions to defund a lot of the, you know, climate garbage that's killing our economy, to defund a lot of the woke stuff.
00:21:39.780And Mike Johnson blew it when he walked away from a continuing resolution that we could have extended through this year to trigger the caps that we had put in place last year.
00:21:50.140We would have forced Democrats to the table and then leveraged this.
00:21:53.120The other thing he could have done, pass a CR today that kicks this into May, trigger Thomas Massey's 1% provision.
00:22:00.820Then you force Democrats to the table and say, guys, we're not going to do any of this unless we actually secure the border.
00:22:06.500But now we're getting yet another promise.
00:22:09.140Trust me, Chip, we'll secure the border when we do a supplemental on Ukraine funding.
00:22:14.160Look, most of your audience doesn't want another dollar to go to Ukraine at all.
00:22:18.340But you and I have had a back and forth about this.
00:22:20.800I might eat a few dollars of lethal aid to Ukraine if I got actual border security, but they're not going to do that.
00:22:26.960I've been sold a lie every step of the way that next week we'll do something.
00:22:33.060What we achieved last year was we showed that conservatism can win.
00:22:37.480When we passed Limit, Save, Grow, H.R. 2, seven appropriations bills that dropped spending down, we were moving the needle and got policy changes.
00:22:45.740The swamp has bit back the defense industrial complex that wants more money for Ukraine, more money for defense.
00:22:52.600They want to have warrantless searches on Americans.
00:22:55.360They're fighting back, and unfortunately our Republican leadership is letting them do it.
00:22:59.200It's wrong, and we're trying to figure out what to do about it.
00:23:03.060This bill right here, if passed this week, the border will not be shut down.
00:23:08.400The border will not be secure, correct?
00:23:31.760If you don't shut the border, this thing does not get passed, and force Biden to the table this weekend to actually secure this border before he gets another penny to fund his government.
00:23:40.840Why the psychosis about shutting down the government?
00:23:45.500The best way I can describe it is the leadership has accepted the premise that we must do this because, one, they're afraid of shutdown.
00:23:55.740They're afraid we lose politically in a shutdown.
00:23:58.740I go back and look at every shutdown fight we've had, 2013 with Ted Cruz and Obamacare, 2019 when President Trump was fighting for the wall.
00:24:07.440We always gain seats after that because the American people are inspired that we're actually fighting for them.
00:24:13.820But these guys, they run around and they listen to some pollster who comes in and says, but you'll lose if you do a shutdown.
00:24:20.060The second reason is they're beholden to the defense world.
00:24:25.200People will say, but you don't understand, people will die.
00:24:27.960If our defense isn't bigger, we're going to lose to China.
00:24:30.420If we don't give money to Ukraine, Putin will win.
00:24:32.020And if we don't fund Israel, they're going to die.
00:24:34.080And if we don't give money to, you know, if we don't continue spying on Americans and we, you know, if we allow a warrant, people will die.
00:25:37.820Call today and make sure every member of Congress feels the pain that they should not vote for this bill.
00:25:44.640And if we can somehow stall this bill out today, because it's going to take it's being put up on suspension of the rules, which, by the way, is a travesty.
00:25:51.840It's being put up with less than 24 hours to read it, which is a travesty.
00:25:55.140It busts the caps, which is a travesty, funds the FBI headquarters, doesn't secure the border, funds the World Health Organization.
00:28:15.260Shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:28:18.280This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.
00:28:25.760Now Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:28:39.460In fact, some of the guests I've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.
00:28:47.360If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:28:58.240I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:29:03.660Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:29:16.320Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:30:30.580When it comes to money and power, they always roll over.
00:30:34.800And Natalie's going to be on in a little while to talk about yesterday.
00:30:37.120We're going to do a compare and contrast on this impeachment fiasco, in which most of the Republicans didn't sit there for the entire time.
00:30:44.680That shows you how much seriousness they put into it.
00:30:48.180The Democrats are there as a block to make sure that Biden got off.
00:30:53.880So the CNBC article, that's why I go over to birchgold.com and talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:31:00.320They've got a bunch of analysis on the CNBC story, totally unrelated to Birchgold or to War Room.
00:32:02.640And we will win that argument with the American people.
00:32:04.600Like Chip Roy said, every time the government's been shut down, we've won the argument because it gets out into the ether, which never gets out to the low information, low propensity voters.
00:32:15.540And they sit there and go, hey, I agree with these guys.
00:33:02.880You've got the machine guys braced up against the wall.
00:33:06.120Now it's time to, what's the evidence?
00:33:08.020What are the receipts you've got that are so compelling it's going to make the Supreme Court, who's had less than zero interest in this to date, take this case up, sir?
00:33:17.520Well, Steve, if you recall last week, I said when we filed our petition for rita certiori with the Supreme Court to ask them to take the case, I said there were three new pieces of evidence that further showed that the standing of Carrie Lake and Mark Fincham existed and that this case should be brought before and heard on the merits.
00:33:38.620Those three pieces of evidence were we could show that the election software Maricopa County used in the 2020 and 2022 elections had been altered, and any representations that Maricopa made that this was EAC certified were false.
00:33:54.460Secondly, that in 2020 and 2022, Maricopa did not perform logic and accuracy testing before the election, which is designed to see if the machines will tabulate and count the ballots correctly, and in fact, that was an express violation of state law.
00:34:12.500And third, and most importantly, I think, in terms of the country, we have uncovered that the master cryptographic encryption keys are left unprotected except for the Windows login and in plain text on the database.
00:34:27.560And what that means, this is like the Enigma machine from World War II, where the Allies solved the cipher codes and could read all the Germans' messages.
00:34:35.240Now, here, you don't even have to decrypt them.
00:34:38.260They're straight and plain text, and any malicious actor can take control of the entire voting system, create a fake election, do whatever you want, and it's nearly undetectable.
00:34:47.760So what we introduced last night is a motion for expedited consideration of that, and we attached three of our expert declarations.
00:34:57.580And in those declarations, you get a peek inside the machines, because there are actual screenshots of the log files and the database table that shows where the encryption keys is.
00:35:09.280We have redacted some of the encryption keys, because they're in plain text.
00:35:15.000And those encryption keys, it's phenomenal.
00:35:17.500You can actually take them and apply them and decrypt the passwords on the machines.
00:35:23.740You can get into the configuration files.
00:35:28.120You can intercept communications and de-encrypt those communications, put your own results on there, re-encrypt them as a – the machine will recognize you as a certified user, and create your own fake election and put it back on the EMS.
00:35:44.740It violates every basic rule of cybersecurity, including what are called Federal Information Processing Standards, which Dominion puts in its contract that its encryption level complies with.
00:36:50.120Why have no other investigative teams or lawyers found this, which you would think would be enough to get them past Fox writing an $800 million check?
00:37:01.560How did the best lawyers in the country with the top investigators in the country miss this?
00:37:58.220The amount of that settlement does not make sense.
00:38:02.000But what it did do is scare the bejesus out of people thinking, oh, my God, $800 million that Fox paid.
00:38:09.180There must be nothing to any of these allegations.
00:38:12.240Why would Fox pay so much money if these were credible allegations?
00:38:16.160So it certainly did create that narrative.
00:38:18.260But this evidence that we put forward is solid.
00:38:21.900And I think that Fox's attorneys and Fox, they should be asked the question, why didn't you bring this evidence to light or why didn't you uncover it?
00:38:32.960Well, I'm sure there's shareholders that are quite interested in that.
00:38:36.160If you're saying if your evidence is true, then the question gets to be both at Newsmax and others, why didn't your lawyers find this?
00:38:43.960Yeah, I think that's a legitimate question that shareholders should pose.
00:38:48.260Now, I understand why, you know, in Arizona with the Katie Hobbs and her regime, why the Justice Department not looking this, have you taken this evidence to any – because there's 20 or 30 red states with red state attorney generals and a red state secretary of state that have machines or even county supervisors.
00:39:11.340Have you taken this evidence to anybody and has anybody else – has anybody grabbed on this and said, this is amazing, let me go check this out and then use it to get rid of the machines?
00:39:22.640Well, this evidence just came to our attention in a matter of – I mean, the declarations were finalized last week.
00:39:34.000In terms of a call to action, I know that your audience is very active.
00:39:38.240The House Admin Committee has oversight over the EAC.
00:39:42.220I would suggest that your audience make some phone calls and push the House Admin Committee to look into this and to investigate and look at the evidence.
00:40:23.120But the response to our motion for expedited consideration is going to be due in 10 days, which falls on a Saturday.
00:40:31.360So it would be April 1st, Monday, we'll have a response from Maricopa County and the Arizona Secretary of State as to what we put in this brief and to the evidence that we put forward.
00:40:45.220But they're not – hold on, but somebody's got to sign off on the expedited, right?
00:40:48.800That's in case they sign off the expedited.
00:40:50.300Other than that, Maricopa County has no obligation to answer any of this, do they, as it stands right now?
00:40:55.760But if they don't file an opposition or a response to our motion for expedited consideration, then it will go straight to conference, and it's basically conceded in terms of that expedited consideration is warranted.
00:41:14.200And then what's the process at the Supreme Court?
00:41:16.300I know you filed, and this was for expedited consideration.
00:41:18.840Just walk us through what the process is there.
00:41:20.540Well, basically, all the clerks will get together and review, and they'll do a memo on the petition and then our motion for expedited consideration.
00:41:31.320And that will be presented – when it's done, it's on a Wednesday, I believe.
00:41:36.520And so we're looking at probably the earliest that it could go to the court would be, I believe, April 12th, because from the petition, there's 30 days for the defendants to respond to the petition, which was filed on March 14th.
00:41:56.420And they can waive that, or they could file a response or seek an extension, but we would oppose an extension.
00:42:03.740There's basically a number of ways that this could go.
00:42:05.800Do you think – what do you put the odds of the Supreme Court?
00:42:10.940Because they've gone out of their way not to take up any of these cases about the election fraud or stealing the election, except now they're forced to with President Trump on these validations.
00:42:20.460What do you put – we've got 30 seconds.
00:42:21.780What do you put the odds that the Supreme Court takes this up?
00:42:25.640I think the Supreme Court absolutely should take this up because this will have a dramatic impact on 2024.
00:42:33.980We're not asking in this case for them to rule on the merits.
00:42:38.060What we're asking is that they take the case, rule on standing, send it back expeditiously to the district court, where we will move immediately for an injunction, and then follow on the merits from that level.
00:42:50.280This is a very easy case, I think, for the Supreme Court to take and decide because it is on standing.
