Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 160： Arizona, Florida, WAshington： What They Fear In These States; The Real Anthony Facui： The Movie

00:00:00.000 this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing

00:00:11.200 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians

00:00:18.960 get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in georgia

00:00:24.720 it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations

00:00:29.760 This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged.

00:00:32.220 As we've told you, this is the fight.

00:00:34.200 All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.

00:00:38.000 War Room, Battleground.

00:00:39.840 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:00:42.660 The problem with Washington politicians is they have no skin in the game.

00:00:49.740 Well, I'm not a self-serving politician.

00:00:52.100 My whole life has been about service, family, and community.

00:00:55.840 After 9-11, I served as a Navy SEAL in the Middle East.

00:00:59.180 Now I'm ready to secure our border, stand up for law enforcement, and protect the integrity of our elections.

00:01:05.400 It's time for we, the people, to take our country back.

00:01:09.480 I'm Eli Crane, and I approve this message.

00:01:14.320 Okay, welcome. It's War Room Battleground, Monday, 17 October, in the year of our Lord, 2022.

00:01:20.400 We are three weeks and one day away from the most important midterm election since 1862.

00:01:26.220 And since that midterm election really pivoted around in the hinge was the Battle of Antietam that took place in September before the election.

00:01:36.220 We thought it was very important to make sure we're always talking to our veterans about particularly the veterans at the tip of the spearhead.

00:01:42.540 We got three of the best Eli Crane from Arizona, Joe Kent from Washington.

00:01:46.320 And then we go to Florida to Anna Paulina Luna, New York Times, huge story on the Sunday Times right hand column.

00:01:53.060 so you know it's important the paper of record of our country and our first guest they start with

00:01:57.540 eli crane 42 running in a republican leaning house district in arizona saw five wartime deployments

00:02:03.680 with seal team three over 13 let me turn to page 26 by the way massive story something like 5 000

00:02:10.280 pages long or 5 000 words long uh and as a sniper machine gun turret operator and running killer

00:02:17.920 capture missions with the delta forcing against high value targets some in fallujah mr crane

00:02:23.500 presses the false case that the 2020 election was stolen of course all of this is about being

00:02:30.280 election deniers or part of you know j6 insurrection it's all nonsense and that's

00:02:35.440 we got three of the best crane luna in kent i want to start with you eli out in arizona first

00:02:41.820 First off, they're kind of shocked when they talk to the young MAGA warriors, when you guys express skepticism and kind of the neoliberal neocon order that has people going on battlefields all over the world, giving up their lives, serving their country.

00:02:58.860 But the incredible just waste of money that has been and they're kind of shocked when you guys push back, whether this is Ukraine or just ever increasing defense budgets, given that all three of you served your country when you were young and in the highest method possible.

00:03:16.200 Eli Crane, what do you got to say about that?

00:03:19.360 Well, Steve, it's an honor to be here.

00:03:21.820 You know, anytime you're doing a piece with The New York Times, you never know how it's going to turn out.

00:03:26.320 I do feel for the most part that, you know, shockingly, they seem to cover us pretty fairly in that one.

00:03:32.800 But, yeah, it was interesting, you know, to be, you know, it's interesting when they ask you questions and push you on, you know, the election.

00:03:40.300 You know, they're kind of surprised to hear that you don't back down, you know, from the positions that you've had, you know, the entire time.

00:03:46.620 And then when it comes to they're also surprised that veterans, you know, don't support all of this massive spending, you know, with with our military all the time and also, you know, sending, you know, billions of dollars around the world to Ukraine to a place that most Americans can't even point to on a map that we all know is extremely corrupt.

00:04:07.060 And that's the thing with this America First movement, Steve. I know that you've been one of the architects of it. I'm grateful for guys like you, President Trump, that came in and just made all of us, forced every single one of us to ask serious questions.

00:04:21.600 Is this the best thing for Americans? Is this the best thing for America? How much is this going to cost? Who's going to pay for it? And it's so common sense, Steve, but it's like that's the direction we have to go or we're going to lose this damn country.

00:04:36.020 And I know that there's so many of us that wore those uniforms that lost friends overseas and recognize how much has been paid and sacrificed so that we can be here today. 0.74

00:04:46.000 But we realize that the country cannot continue to withstand this amount of corruption, this amount of debt, and we have to start putting America first.

00:04:55.380 And so I think they are surprised that, you know, we've got a new crop of candidates who aren't, you know, we're not singing off the same old sheet of, you know, Republican music.

00:05:06.020 your district first off arizona is one of the most uh beautiful states uh in the country and

00:05:15.020 one of the most beautiful places in the world it was the last of the states that really organized

00:05:19.640 from our territory made a state uh in the lower 48 your district is one of the most stunning

00:05:26.600 districts in this country it's huge it's bigger than many many many states when you go throughout

00:05:32.760 your district, which is principally rural. It's got some towns and cities in it, but principally

00:05:36.980 rural. When you go throughout your district and talk to folks and they hear about America First

00:05:42.960 and the logic that you put forward as a combat veteran, what is their response?

00:05:48.660 Steve, they're all about it out here. I mean, last night, for instance, we were up in Yavapai

00:05:53.820 County. We were in Prescott. We had Jim Jordan out. We had Congressman Paul Gosar out. We had a

00:06:01.300 packed room, I think it was about 550 people showed up. They love this country, Steve. They

00:06:07.840 love hearing that there are candidates who don't shy away from their faith, don't shy away from

00:06:13.720 talking about how we need to turn back to God as a country. They love hearing that we have

00:06:20.960 candidates that actually are America first, who want to secure the border, who want energy

00:06:26.780 independents who want fiscal responsibility on Capitol Hill, want our politicians to quit 0.61

00:06:33.440 printing and spending money that we don't have. They're common sense, hardworking American,

00:06:39.000 Steve. And the thing about Arizona is they come from all over the place. We've got a bunch of

00:06:43.420 people leaving California that come here. We've got people that just want to be a part of warmer

00:06:48.360 weather. Some of the beautiful regions you talked about, we've got Sedona here, where, as you know,

00:06:53.160 a lot of the Westerns in our country's movie history were filmed here just because it's so

00:07:00.500 beautiful. We've got Flagstaff. We've got the Grand Canyon. It's a big, beautiful district,

00:07:06.380 Steve. But at the end of the day, these people are just Americans. They want to put America first.

00:07:11.500 They want to go back to the same ingredients that made this country great in the first place.

00:07:17.440 And that's why they're willing to look outside, think outside the box when it comes to candidates.

00:07:22.080 They don't want the same, you know, the same Mark one motto, Republican wearing the, you know, the blue suit, you know, the American flag, you know, pin on his, you know, collar regurgitating the same old Republican talking points that have got us here in the first place.

00:07:39.440 No, they'd like to have a guy that was on a machine gun turret and went into Fallujah and can speak the truth.

00:07:44.300 I want to turn briefly.

00:07:45.480 We're going to go to Anna Luna in a second, Napoleon Luna second, then Joe Kemp.

00:07:48.660 but i want to there's been a bunch of press nationally by the way you're 100 correct everybody

00:07:53.240 i posted this new york times story when it came out given it was the new york times it was incredibly

00:07:58.680 incredibly even-handed about about the veterans although they do refer to you guys as some white

00:08:04.480 nationalists insurrectionists but hey it's the new york times when you're the guy you run against

00:08:11.140 put out a call for help nationally about 10 days ago to say hey you know i've paid my dues to the

00:08:19.320 dncc i i've got this district i'm an incumbent i can win here this young guy is all over me but

00:08:26.460 you got to give me some money or he's going to win uh what was that that was a cry for help

00:08:31.400 from your opponent where do we stand right now and by the way he wasn't shy about putting up on

00:08:36.000 twitter and talking to people about it saying hey i need help i need help immediately or eli crane's

00:08:41.120 going to be a congressman. Where does it stand right now, sir? Steve, I think we're in a great

00:08:46.540 spot, brother. We have the demographic advantage out here. This is ranked at a Republican plus

00:08:53.620 7.5 district. If our people, Steve, show up and actually vote the party line, and that's what

00:09:01.320 everybody in this district needs to do, I can't imagine a time and place where it was more

00:09:07.640 prevalent that we show up and vote Republicans straight down the ballot. But if our people show

00:09:14.160 up and do that, Tom O'Halloran is going to be retired. He knows it. This guy's been a politician

00:09:21.400 for 20 years. He supported the Inflation Reduction Act when he was asked Steve why he supported 87,000

00:09:28.400 new IRS agents. You know what he said? He said, because we need more revenue streams. That is not

00:09:33.720 what the people of this district believe. They do not think that the government needs more revenue

00:09:38.060 streams, Steve. If anything, they know that this government needs fiscal responsibility and to pull

00:09:43.200 its head out because this is an America last administration and Tom O'Halloran has supported

00:09:49.500 it 100%. So if we get the support we need, Steve, Tom O'Halloran is going to get retired and it's

00:09:55.500 going to send one more message across Arizona and across this country that the old ways of doing

00:10:01.400 business have got to be over and done. Eli, where do people go to find out more about you,

00:10:09.220 more about this campaign? We've got the New York Times story up on Getter right now. Where do people

00:10:14.420 go to find out more about you and your campaign? Thank you, Steve. EliForArizona.com. And I'm

00:10:21.400 really easy to find on social media as well. Eli Crane, CEO. Eli for Arizona as well. So

00:10:28.620 Those are my coordinates. Thank you, Steve, for all that you do, brother. We're praying for you. We've got your back, brother.

00:10:36.080 Thank you, man. Same, same. You like praying out in Arizona, too. Let's go. Do we have Anna Polina's ad? Let's play the ad and we're going to bring in the great Anna Polina Leno.

00:10:45.020 After decades in Washington, career insider Eric Lynn wants to go back. Lynn supports Biden's reckless spending that's causing higher inflation.

00:10:55.220 Eric Lynn, after decades in Washington, it's time for him to go.

00:11:00.460 Ana Paulina Luna will stop the radical spending.

00:11:04.280 I think these spending bills are destructive.

00:11:06.360 If we continue down the path that we're going, there will be no more middle class.

00:11:09.700 It's going to completely destroy it. 0.99

00:11:11.700 I'm Ana Paulina Luna, and I approve this message.

00:11:16.580 Okay, we go to Florida now to Ana Paulina Luna.

00:11:18.880 Ana, I may not have this totally correct, but I want to make sure the audience gets the construct.

00:11:24.180 Charlie Crist had the option of essentially,

00:11:26.820 I know there's been some movement in the district then there,

00:11:29.500 but basically had a choice between a rematch with you

00:11:32.600 and taking on Ron DeSantis statewide.

00:11:35.320 And he chose DeSantis.

00:11:36.440 So I roughly have that correct?

00:11:39.060 Yeah, actually, I think you saw the polling from last time.

00:11:42.140 I was running in a D2 and they said I was going to lose by 17 points.

00:11:46.000 I was outspent three to one and I lost by five.

00:11:49.320 So with redistricting, I think he'd rather lose against DeSantis than me.

00:11:52.780 he's not going to win either. No, I just want to go on the record. He'd rather take on Ron De

00:11:57.620 Santos in a statewide race than take on Anna Polina in his own district. Anna Polina Luna, 1.00

00:12:02.200 that says something. Talk to me about how your service, particularly as a woman, tell me about

00:12:07.520 how your service to your country informs not just your campaign, but what you see yourself

00:12:14.340 as a sitting congressman. You know, I think it provides a different level of perspective.

00:12:21.440 It really says something that after World War II, a majority of Congress was actually service members, both men and women.

00:12:28.600 And now I think it's less than five percent.

00:12:31.740 You know, when you're looking at bills, for example, we'll take the PAC Act, for example, and you see that the Democrats will say, well, if you don't vote for this bill, you're anti-vet.

00:12:40.320 And then you look at the billions of dollars in spending, for example, in the PAC Act, over 400 billion did not go to veterans.

00:12:45.600 And yet they used veterans to get that whole pork spending bill through.

00:12:49.400 I think it really provides a level of perspective. Obviously, you have skin in the game, but then also, too, you're not going to be for the war machine. Like many of these establishment, both Democrat and Republicans are. And I think that with what we're seeing now, especially with Russia, you see that there's a machine that exists in Washington that's thirsty. They're thirsty for more spending, for more war, and we don't want that. So it's a different perspective that I think more representatives should have.

00:13:15.780 that's that's one of the things of of you veterans this young generation it's it's you're intensely

00:13:22.800 patriotic in fact you really came to volunteer for the military in one of the toughest times

00:13:28.600 to volunteer for the military you see how tough it is today when when people talk to you about

00:13:33.460 these spending bills they talk about sending troops all over the the the the world and they

00:13:38.620 talk about you know the types of money we're shoveling into ukraine but also in other places

00:13:42.820 what are the constituents in florida 13 what because this is a super patriotic tons of veterans

00:13:48.220 tons of retirees i don't know if there's a state more patriotic than florida what are the people

00:13:55.520 in the district what's the feedback you're getting from them i think right now people are really

00:14:00.780 really impacted by the economy and when they're sending literally millions and millions and

00:14:05.920 millions of dollars overseas to places like ukraine and then you it came out recently that

00:14:10.860 the U.S. Air Force had to cut some of these special duty pay for our service members because

00:14:15.500 they miscalculated the budget while we're essentially funding literally the bureaucrats

00:14:20.080 in Ukraine. I think that that really puts it in perspective. You know, people are hard hit with

00:14:24.100 the economy right now. You can look at everything from airline fees to gas to the price of eggs.

00:14:29.220 It's all gone up. And, you know, while Democrats are trying to push Republicans to talk on social

00:14:34.880 issues that we really have nothing to do with at the congressional level, I think that they're

00:14:39.580 missing how the american people are actually impacted you know here in my district it is one

00:14:45.280 of the biggest veteran districts in the entire country and i recently had my opponent that said

00:14:50.280 that i was anti-vet because of the fact that i want to hold congress accountable for the spending

00:14:55.300 that they are using veterans for and so i think that bringing that approach to dc is definitely

00:15:00.880 gonna you know put some heat at my back but i don't really care i'm frankly sick and tired of

00:15:05.460 these people that have no skin in the game, have never served their countries, using us as political

00:15:10.480 talking points. Let's talk about that for a second. Tell me where the race is, because your opponent

00:15:15.960 is pulling out every trick in the book. Walk me through where this race stands today and how it's

00:15:20.660 going to develop, how you see it developing over the next three weeks. So we are at a statistical

00:15:26.640 tie, but what we're finding is Republicans across the country are actually not taking polls. So to

00:15:32.220 put it in perspective, I was also at a statistical tie in my primary, and I won by 11 points. And

00:15:38.340 that's because there are people that are genuinely afraid of the weaponization of the FBI and the DOJ

00:15:43.660 people are frankly uncomfortable right now to voice their political opinions. Now, it does go

00:15:49.720 to show that they know that I'm going to win because of the fact that you are literally seeing

00:15:53.820 outside spending, they just dropped $4.8 million in attack ads into my race, in addition to my

00:15:59.900 opponent having $2 million. So this is effectively one of the most expensive races in the state of

00:16:04.920 Florida. I'm not just stopping there, though. They are literally silencing everything about

00:16:09.340 our race with local politics. The Tampa Bay Times isn't talking about us. Neither is Florida

00:16:13.860 politics. We are outside every single day knocking doors and pounding that pavement. And as you know,

00:16:19.320 Steve, that is how you win elections. So I'm seeing the forward momentum. I feel it. I feel

00:16:24.040 that we are going to be winning. But I can also tell you that the leftist media doesn't quite know

00:16:28.900 how to interact with me yet. I had the Washington Post and the New York Times misquote a lot of

00:16:33.800 stuff that I said. Obviously, it's to be expected. They're left-leaning outlets, but we're bringing

00:16:38.100 the heat. And I think that this incoming class, especially those candidates that were endorsed

00:16:42.200 and vetted by President Trump, we're going to be bringing some change to Washington, D.C.,

00:16:47.140 that's for sure. I just want our nationwide audience to understand. I want to go back just

00:16:52.400 for a minute. We're pressed for time, but I want to go back. The outside groups are putting how

00:16:56.280 much money on you? $4.8 million is what they just dropped a negative attack at. So I'm effectively

00:17:03.560 up against $6 million plus. And that is not including what they spent against me in the

00:17:09.620 primary election, of which I also think there were Democrat operatives that were actually

00:17:13.240 spending on behalf of the Republicans that were running against me. So if you are a true America

00:17:18.380 first candidate, if you are anti-globalist, they are going to try to spend what it takes. And as

00:17:22.620 you know steve that's quite a hefty spend especially for a house seat that's an r7 and so

00:17:28.900 we anticipate this is this is one of the historical real quickly what is it about

00:17:35.860 anna paulina luna that national democrats at the national level would spend 4.8 million dollars

00:17:42.240 in a tv market in florida what what what is it that you do that triggers them what do they fear

00:17:48.980 I am. I am capable of targeting the largest voting minority in the country. I worked in national grassroots outreach and I'm effective at it. So I am effectively going to help shift politics into culture to target the Hispanic voting bloc. And I think that they know that and they are afraid of it. And I'm an anti-globalist. I'm a populist. I'm for the people and they don't want that.

00:18:10.100 anna polina luna how do people find out more about you and specifically this campaign this

00:18:16.500 is one i'm telling you this is one of the most important campaigns in the nation how do they

00:18:20.500 how does our entire posse find out more about you you can head over to vote apl.com that's vote

00:18:27.680 alpha papa lima.com and if you guys can please consider donating 10 20 bucks it all goes to the

00:18:32.900 campaign i'm not ilhan omar i'm not paying my husband but we do ask that you go and donate and

00:18:38.640 And if you want to volunteer, you can head to at Real Anna Paulina.

00:18:43.760 Captain Bannon can assure you it's quite a Spartan operation with Anna Paulina Luna.

00:18:50.540 Everything, a close run thing, as we say in the military.

00:18:54.980 Anna, thank you so much.

00:18:56.720 Thank you.

00:18:57.960 One of the most important races in the country.

00:19:01.020 Just had two, another one, Joe Kent.

00:19:04.240 Before we do the cold open, Joe, they had to come back for another bite at the apple.

00:19:08.440 they couldn't help themselves after having a huge spread after having a huge spread a huge spread

00:19:14.740 already with you and your opponent they had to come back and say how do we get another vertical

00:19:18.760 oh yeah joe kent's a combat veteran let's do that let's play i want to play uh is it mont

00:19:23.700 sure let's go ahead and play mont shearer from uh from ghetto he did a combination a combination

00:19:28.720 on your uh debate let's play it i'm marie glusen camp perez i run an auto repair and a machine

00:19:33.840 shop with my husband i work in the trades and i fix things for a living you can vote for me

00:19:38.260 a small business owner or you can vote for joe kent an extreme politician judge for yourself how

00:19:42.980 extreme joe kent is he supports a national ban on abortion with no exceptions he wants to defund

00:19:48.260 the fbi he wants to abolish mail-in voting and that's the last thing we can afford you know a

00:19:53.540 green job is not just somebody running a recycling plant it is a electrician wiring in a heat pump

00:19:58.980 and i think that it's important that we have a middle of the road but understanding but i i do

00:20:04.180 think it's the right to federally decriminalize simple possession of marijuana. Joe Kent's plan

00:20:09.300 to end all legal immigration for 20 years is morally bankrupt and an economic sabotage.

00:20:16.020 Our democracy is under threat. You know, we have candidates running up and down the ballot who

00:20:21.060 deny our elections unless they like the outcome of it. My opponent supports abolishing mail-in

00:20:26.180 voting. Paper ballots are the gold standard in election security. You know, Joe Kent was one of

00:20:31.700 of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the state of Washington claiming that our elections were

00:20:35.540 stolen. It's a charade for gaining followers and points on the internet. These violent rioting

00:20:42.620 mobs who attacked our Capitol on January 6th, he calls them political prisoners. I've been

00:20:47.320 endorsed by so many. My proudest endorsements are from Republicans. If Ukraine falls, we are in

00:20:54.860 danger. If the Ukrainians lose, they die. So, you know, if Canada invaded America, what part of 1.00

00:21:03.180 Washington state would you all be willing to give up to appease our aggressors? He says that Biden's

00:21:08.240 trying to kill off oil and gas. Biden actually issued more permits for oil and gas drilling in

00:21:13.340 2021 than Trump did. I'd like to remind the audience. If you cannot be quiet, you'll be

00:21:21.060 asked to leave. I want to fix things. Joe Kent wants to break things. Joe Kent is an extreme politician.

00:21:29.360 Yeah, hi. I'm Joe Kent. Had the honor of serving this country for a little over 20 years. Did 11

00:21:33.480 combat deployments and special operations in the intelligence community. It was the greatest honor

00:21:36.900 of my life. I intended to continue to serve in that capacity until my late wife, who was also

00:21:41.040 in the military, was tragically killed fighting ISIS in Syria. Her death is a direct result of

00:21:45.680 the failings of policy of our corrupt ruling class. The thing is, she is just more of the 0.97

00:21:50.340 same old Democrat. Look at her policies with inflation, not addressing the energy crisis, 0.87

00:21:54.420 not addressing the spending, bragging about signing on to omnibus spending packages. 0.99

00:21:58.120 Look at the crime. She didn't address crime one time. She is endorsing open borders,

00:22:02.080 no border wall. She's endorsed by Democrats. They're letting child killers out of prison

00:22:05.760 here in the district. She supports the radical mutilation of children and the chemical castration

00:22:11.320 of children known as gender affirming care. She not only endorses it, she wants your taxpayer 0.91

00:22:15.360 dollars to go to fund it. I'm going to Washington, D.C. to provide a strong check against Nancy 0.79

00:22:20.740 Pelosi, against Joe Biden and against one party rule. I served this country for 20 years. I'd

00:22:25.120 be honored to serve you for two more as your representative. Thank you very much.

00:22:31.420 OK, welcome back. That is so powerful because we've had obviously the war room tea, Grace Chong.

00:22:39.100 We refer to her, our Grace's queen of the trolls and Captain Bannon. They've been following these

00:22:43.420 debates and they've been you know posting live and the debates because i said a certain amount

00:22:48.400 of time but when you compress it like that joe um she's just not ready for prime time it's kind

00:22:55.360 of the junior varsity it's a junior varsity varsity scrimmage and i say that as somebody

00:22:59.760 that actually wanted your opponent on the policy side to really be able to have a discussion between

00:23:04.760 a center-right populist nationalists and center-left populist nationalists we're not getting 0.91

00:23:10.020 it she's just not up to the task uh walk me through where this race stands right now particularly

00:23:15.660 these debates where i just think you have shined because you just know the facts you know the

00:23:20.860 details thank you steve yeah so we have one more debate scheduled the debates are not going well

00:23:26.060 for her at all she had less note cards this time but still couldn't make it through without

00:23:29.860 referencing the statements made for her by her consultant and the thing is you heard the the 0.87

00:23:34.980 attack lines that she used there. It's all the same talking points from MSNBC and CNN. When it

00:23:40.920 gets down to actually discussing the policy, when she gets put on the spot by a very friendly panel

00:23:46.120 of local journalists, actually, they're friendly to her. They asked her just about inflation,

00:23:50.600 about our energy crisis. And all she could do was stumble around this answer that Biden's doing.

00:23:55.800 Actually, Biden's actually trying to help. He's issued more permits. And you heard the audience

00:23:59.420 like come out, almost come out of their seats when he said that, because you can't fool the

00:24:03.760 people in the district. They understand what Biden did to our energy independence, that he

00:24:08.100 absolutely killed it off. They understand what he's doing to the economy. She tried to attack

00:24:12.160 me for saying that I would stop signing off onto these omnibus spending packages, really just 0.99

00:24:16.580 basically saying that, hey, if I get to Washington, D.C., I'm going to vote exactly how Nancy Pelosi

00:24:21.020 and the corporate lobbyists tell me to. So when it boils down to it, she actually gets pressed on

00:24:25.500 real policy issues. She has nothing to say except for these petty attacks.

00:24:30.480 the thing that was most impressive of what this guy man sure did and and you saw it in there but

00:24:37.440 you when she made this statement that was so over the top and outrageous the audience of

00:24:42.620 citizens started laughing and the moderator to come in and say hey there'll be no more

00:24:46.140 there'll be no more laughing is that what happened that's exactly what happened steve because i had

00:24:51.620 been hammering everything with inflation starts with what biden did the energy sector and everyone

00:24:56.740 knows that. People fill up their gas tanks every day. You don't need to have a PhD in economics

00:25:01.180 to understand that very basic concept. When she got put on the spot, she said, well, actually,

00:25:05.580 it's not what Joe Kent just said. It's really that Biden's issuing more permits. She was getting

00:25:11.040 ready to say corporate greed, this whole myth that the oil companies are making money and all this

00:25:15.860 nonsense. But she couldn't even finish the sentence because the audience, there were some

00:25:19.880 laughters, but there was also a lot of boos because that's just insulting to the people in

00:25:24.460 the district. It's insulting that she has to read it off her little note cards, but it's also 0.98

00:25:28.700 insulting that she thinks people are dumb enough to believe that nonsense. Talk to us. Give us a 0.99

00:25:35.700 minute. I want to hold you through the break. Give us a minute on this New York Times piece

00:25:38.560 that kind of in shock that combat veterans who have really been at the cutting edge can sit

00:25:43.720 there and go, hey, I think we need to really rethink the Ukraine situation. I'm sure these

00:25:47.120 defense budgets are justifiable. They're in shock about this. Talk to me about the New York Times.

00:25:52.100 It was a good and fair article that you and Eli pointed out. I mean, look, they profile two Green Berets and two Navy SEALs really heavily in there, myself and General Don Bulldog serving at different levels of the Green Berets, and then Eli and Derek as Navy SEALs.

00:26:09.100 And they're in shock that we are questioning the ruling class, that we're questioning, hey, do we need to be going into this new conflict in Ukraine? Should we be taking a broader strategic view to this and really putting our country first?

00:26:22.100 And it's crazy to me that these people are shocked because really they're just used to veterans showing up and quite frankly saying exactly what the D.C. war machine wants them to say, like, rah, rah, it's patriotic if you want to go to war all the time.

00:26:33.900 But we're saying, hey, our experience over the last 20 years is that our ruling class, our betters, our adults in the room, they got it wrong.

00:26:41.160 They got it wrong and our friends died.

00:26:42.900 They got it wrong and America didn't benefit nine trillion in the war on terror.

00:26:46.920 And you think we're not going to come and demand some accountability for that?

00:26:50.000 So I really just think that the legacy media can't wrap their head around the fact that we aren't programmed robots.

00:26:56.080 I tell you what, Joe, just hang on one second.

00:26:58.940 Short break.

00:29:41.280 Go there.

00:29:42.000 Do it today.

00:29:42.620 Check it out. 1.00

00:30:07.200 So we're going to give you a lot of anecdotes about why she's a different kind of Democrat, 0.98

00:30:11.140 but the thing is, she is just more of the same old Democrat. Look at her policies with inflation, 1.00

00:30:15.640 not addressing the energy crisis, not addressing the spending, bragging about signing on to omnibus

00:30:20.440 spending packages. Look at the crime. She didn't address crime one time. She is endorsing open

00:30:25.760 borders, no border wall. She's endorsed by Democrats that are letting child killers out

00:30:29.860 of prison here in the district. She supports the radical mutilation of children and the

00:30:35.620 chemical castration of children known as gender-affirming care. She not only endorses it, 0.95

00:30:40.180 she wants your taxpayer dollars to go to fund it. And most importantly, when she gets to Washington,

00:30:45.240 D.C., she's going to vote in lockstep with Nancy Pelosi. And so the real question is,

00:30:49.860 can you afford two more years of one-party rule? I'm going to Washington, D.C. to provide a strong

00:30:56.560 check against Nancy Pelosi, against Joe Biden, and against one-party rule. I served this country

00:31:02.320 for 20 years, I'd be honored to serve you for two more as your representative. Thank you very much.

00:31:08.920 Wow. Joe Kent, New York Times front page story in the Sunday Times about Joe Kent and some of

00:31:14.560 his colleagues and comrades in the Green Berets and the Navy SEALs. Joe, that was a pretty good

00:31:19.840 summary right there. Give our audience what they want to know is where does this race stand today?

00:31:25.120 Because obviously you are one of the most important people running as a MAGA candidate this year.

00:31:31.560 where do we stand in Washington three? We're looking strong. We have a really good grassroots

00:31:36.780 game. People in the district, they know me. My opponent though, because of the coverage that

00:31:41.500 she's gotten from the mainstream media, she's been able to raise a good deal of money. She's

00:31:45.380 up on the air quite a bit. I think she raised about $2.5 million. Most of that is going to

00:31:50.140 attacking me on the air and trying to frighten some of our more moderate friends, moderate

00:31:54.820 Republicans and independents that I'm some sort of an extremist. But those issues I laid out there

00:31:59.500 in the closing, inflation, crime, protecting our children. I don't think that these are extreme

00:32:04.160 issues at all. I frankly don't even think they're Republican or Democrat. I think this is just basic

00:32:08.560 common sense, you know, what really makes this country great. And I think most people, if they

00:32:13.300 hear our message, they can get behind us. So we're feeling confident. We're getting the message out

00:32:18.440 there. We're knocking on doors. I'm doing town halls pretty much every single day. I'll be up

00:32:22.440 in Lewis County later on today in Chehalis at a great town hall. So we won the primary by

00:32:28.240 by grassroots efforts. And we're going to win the general with the exact same methodology.

00:32:33.960 Joe, just, I, I, I assume, but I want you to help clarify me. I assume that a lot of that 2.5

00:32:40.540 million does not come from the citizens of Washington three. Am I, am I, am I wrong in

00:32:46.020 that speculation? No, we talked about the political article where one of Mitt Romney's former Bain

00:32:52.120 capital buddies is helping her bundle money with Democrat donors throughout the country. And so

00:32:56.960 that's basically the people that are just triggered by donald trump it's like hey this is one of trump's

00:33:01.000 you know one of trump's all-stars is out here give us some money and so it's actually working out

00:33:05.140 pretty well for her and then she can just hit the negatives on on the ads but it's it's not coming

00:33:09.280 from inside the district we're still doing really well on individual contributions from folks in the

00:33:14.420 district by the way the new york times has not put you on the front page twice because they want you

00:33:20.860 to win as a mega candidate they're trying to they're trying to draw attention and say hey

00:33:24.880 this guy's important to take out

00:33:26.300 and the money's got to go to back that.

00:33:27.920 So Joe Kent, one more time,

00:33:29.660 where do people go to find out more

00:33:30.840 about you and your campaign?

00:33:32.840 Yeah, please go to joekentforcongress.com.

00:33:35.440 The posse and grassroots got us this far.

00:33:37.280 So five, 10, $15 really helps out.

00:33:40.320 If you're in the district,

00:33:41.080 if you know people in the district,

00:33:42.840 please get them access to me,

00:33:44.140 joekentforcongress.com.

00:33:45.940 Come out to a town hall,

00:33:47.800 send us a message.

00:33:48.760 I'll hop on the phone, people, if we need to.

00:33:50.760 If you are a common sense American,

00:33:53.200 We are the only chance at saving this republic. Every single Democrat right now is in lockstep with Joe Biden and with Nancy Pelosi, and they are hellbent on destroying our country. So look forward to having everybody on our team, JoeKentForCongress.com.

00:34:05.560 warrant kent thank you very much honor to have you on here okay we've got one most important

00:34:11.920 cultural thank you brother one of the most important cultural uh events we had the book

00:34:18.320 remember with robert kennedy jr we did an incredible two hours with him what was this

00:34:23.140 god it's got to be back in 2021 the book the real anthony fauci sold significantly i think a main

00:34:29.700 and a half copies a blockbuster hit and let's say this it's not the most easily accessible book

00:34:35.480 I've ever read in my life, but man, once you open it up, you cannot put it down. This block versus

00:34:40.240 book has now been turned into a blockbuster film. Let's go ahead and play the trailer. I'm going to

00:34:45.680 bring the filmmaker in, Jeff Hayes, and then we're going to also bring Tony Lyons, the great

00:34:49.940 publisher over at Skyhost. Let's play the clip. This book is a product of my own struggle to

00:34:58.580 understand how the idealistic institutions our country built to safeguard both public health

00:35:04.740 and democracy suddenly turned against our citizens and our values with such violence.

00:35:13.260 I am a lifelong Democrat whose family has had 80 years of deep engagement with America's

00:35:19.340 public health bureaucracy and long friendships with key federal regulators, including Anthony

00:35:25.660 Fauci, Francis Collins, and Robert Gallo.

00:35:29.520 Members of my family wrote many of the statutes under which these men governed.

00:35:37.340 They nurtured the growth of equitable and effective public health policies

00:35:41.880 and defended that regulatory bulwark against ferocious attacks funded by industry.

00:35:48.480 I built my own alliances with these individuals and their agencies

00:35:52.500 during my years of environmental and public health advocacy.

00:35:57.500 Quiet on set.

00:35:58.660 But I also watched how the industry, supposedly being regulated,

00:36:05.760 used its indentured servants on Capitol Hill and its financial clout

00:36:10.120 to systematically hollow out those agencies beginning in the 1980s,

00:36:14.680 disabling their regulatory function and transforming them into sock puppets

00:36:19.280 where the very industry Congress charged them with regulating.

00:36:23.100 I explore the carefully planned militarization and monetization of medicine that has left

00:36:30.940 American health ailing and our democracy shattered. I chronicle the troubling role

00:36:36.580 of the big tech robber barons, the military and industrial agencies, their deep historical

00:36:43.140 alliance with big pharma and the public health agencies. The disturbing story that unfolds here

00:36:49.960 has never been told, and many in power have worked hard to prevent the public from learning it.

00:36:56.980 The principal character is Anthony Fauci.

00:37:00.200 wow it took huge stones to write this book it took bigger stones to publish this book

00:37:21.300 and i gotta tell you it may even take in the biggest stones to make this film

00:37:24.980 Jeff Hayes joins us, the director-producer.

00:37:27.940 Jeff, walk me through.

00:37:28.720 That is a stunning, stunning, stunning trailer.

00:37:33.600 Walk me through the film.

00:37:35.280 Thank you.

00:37:36.340 It's a stunning, stunning book.

00:37:40.040 When I read that book, and as you said, it's a formidable read, totally enjoyable, but it is packed.

00:37:48.280 It's meticulously researched, a publishing phenomenon, the most suppressed book of my lifetime.

00:37:54.980 where bookstores that wouldn't carry it still to this day, over a million copies sold 17 weeks on

00:38:01.240 the New York Times bestseller list, and still not one major media review of the book. So when I read

00:38:08.780 it, I've known Bobby for several years, I called him and asked him if he would consider letting me

00:38:13.820 make a documentary of it to make it more digestible. And he agreed. And I couldn't be

00:38:21.740 more delighted with what we've done with it but yeah it there was some soul searching about whether

00:38:27.120 i wanted to do this career-ending film now why is it occurring give people a little bit about your

00:38:34.140 your background why why is it why would it be career-ending because the book when you first

00:38:39.720 get it and and and i've laughed with tony before it's about as charmless a book you can see when

00:38:45.600 you first get it it kind of looks like the phone book it's got this ominous black cover when you

00:38:50.320 open it up and i know most people say i can't read this just too much you start reading you

00:38:55.540 cannot put it down it's it's it's not just mesmerizing the level of detail and research

00:39:01.740 you're kind of like a horror book right you're reading a like a thriller that is it's a page

00:39:07.360 turner but why do you say and turning that into because it's all documented right it's all

00:39:12.160 documented it's right there in the book why do you say making something that's so fundamental

00:39:17.140 to the current situation of citizens of this country would be a career ending to a filmmaker

00:39:22.420 like yourself? Yeah, this is in my traditional documentary world. That is a very liberal world.

00:39:31.800 And they are. I just got an invitation to a fundraiser the other day, and I'm reading their

00:39:38.560 vaccination mask policy, and it's literally delusional. And this is the environment. Half

00:39:45.280 of the people, when you see the credits on the film, half of the people that worked on it wanted

00:39:50.040 their names redacted and did not want to be credited. They wanted to be involved. They

00:39:54.260 wanted to get it out there, but didn't want to pay the price. You know, I had a film in the Toronto

00:39:59.080 Film Festival a month ago that I did with Amy Redford. I've got a film that we submitted to

00:40:05.000 Sundance and I realized, wow, I should have taken my name off of that film. I probably killed its

00:40:10.400 chances walk me through and taking a book like this how do you then think about a film because

00:40:18.320 many of our audience have have read the i'm proud to say that we're my our audience is big book

00:40:23.520 readers big book buyers but particularly this book i think they jumped on this thing they

00:40:28.420 because remember a lot of folks in the show are are traditional republicans or maga or independents

00:40:33.240 but when you mentioned bobby you mentioned the kennedys they're not going to sit there and say

00:40:36.700 oh, I want to see something from Kennedy.

00:40:38.400 They were mesmerized by the book and his interview we did.

00:40:40.900 How did you take this really a book of documents and turn it into a movie?

00:40:48.660 It's such a fascinating story.

00:40:51.720 I was ignorant about Fauci.

00:40:54.160 When he first showed up, I just was kind of oblivious to his whole world

00:40:59.700 during the AIDS crisis and starting in 1984.

00:41:03.620 so for me Fauci was this avuncular grandfatherly guy who showed up at Trump's side and seemed to

00:41:12.140 be very rational and and I liked him every time I saw him and then I started hearing inconsistencies

00:41:19.640 but once I read Bobby's book I realized the impact that this man has had you know the hundreds of

00:41:28.560 thousands of lives that I believe are lost directly related to the decisions that he's

00:41:33.640 made and the money that he got control of and that he controls.

00:41:37.360 So we took the book and really plotted a storyline through the whole book.

00:41:42.840 And it was actually easier than most films I make because the research was already done

00:41:48.180 and the people were already in the book as the sources.

00:41:51.660 And so we were able to go out and interview the people in the book and stay pretty much

00:41:56.340 within the confines of the book and and bring that story to life then i gotta tell you you know

00:42:02.300 our editors do most of the work after the writers and you know are finished and then we wait for

00:42:09.000 them to show it to us and i i watched the first half of this um six weeks ago and i've like i was

00:42:16.980 thrilled as a viewer uh it's in there i want to bring in tony lyons now to join jeff tony um

00:42:26.340 Tell me about Skyhorse and all the times you've been published, because you've published a couple of three controversial books on the scale of what Skyhorse considers controversial.

00:42:37.060 How controversial is the real Anthony Fauci?

00:42:39.820 So I don't think that it should be controversial, but I think that viewers have to realize that the most corrupt, the greediest people in this country have taken over the government.

00:42:50.780 they're trying to control your ability to see what's going on and this has to be stopped people

00:42:57.760 have to watch this movie and understand how this country is run what uh you had a vision for this

00:43:07.340 when we first talked about the book and bobby you had a vision for this uh becoming a film how did

00:43:12.380 you guys how'd you get jeff and how'd you get it done so quickly because it's bringing a filmmaker

00:43:16.660 or myself, given the complexity of the topic, it's kind of stunning to me that you guys are

00:43:21.900 finished already at the quality level of the film I've seen, which is absolutely brilliant.

00:43:26.060 How did you envision this and how'd you get it going so quickly?

00:43:30.120 Well, so, you know, we were desperate to get this movie made because we felt that,

00:43:35.220 you know, it's a it's a big, complicated book. And, you know, I think that there are

00:43:41.900 tens of millions of people in this country who want to hear this story. Some of them were

00:43:47.200 prevented from doing it because there was a censorship campaign that was waged against

00:43:53.220 this book that's unprecedented in U.S. history, that on every level it was censored. But even

00:44:00.460 people who wanted to read it, in some cases, just couldn't do it. It was just too big a mountain to

00:44:07.180 And this is a long, complicated, incredibly exciting, but also shocking book. But I think that, you know, this is the most important movie of the year and we wanted it to come out quickly while it was still so relevant to decisions people make and to politics in this country.

00:44:28.480 So we, you know, had a couple of different people who wanted to make it and we heard a presentation from Jeff and he just seemed like the perfect person who was going to get it done, work day and night.

00:44:39.600 And that's what he's done.

00:44:42.400 Jeff, back to you, you know, the Toronto Film Festival, it's a market, but it's also one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world.

00:44:50.160 Sundance, clearly for American independent film, the most prestigious.

00:44:53.760 I noticed that we're not premiering this in a film festival.

00:44:57.500 Why would that be, sir?

00:44:59.700 Oh, there's no chance it would have a life there.

00:45:02.260 We've actually made the film free to see.

00:45:05.240 It's at TheRealAnthonyFauciMovie.com, and it goes up tomorrow.

00:45:10.280 We're going to have it there for free for 10 days.

00:45:13.300 This film, if it's going to succeed, it's because people see it and share it.

00:45:18.740 And we're actually enlisting the audience to share the film while it's up for free.

00:45:23.660 and there's no reason millions upon millions of people shouldn't see this film it's so important

00:45:30.780 it's it it was an important book it's certainly the most important film i've ever made but here

00:45:36.320 here but here here's the thing given your career as a filmmaker and by the way the war room is

00:45:40.960 going to push it so we're going to have millions of people see it well just walk me through the

00:45:44.660 pushback why would hollywood why would the film industry tv everybody wants to make money this

00:45:49.600 thing's going to get millions of views the book sold i think tony what a million four copies a

00:45:54.560 block i don't mean a blockbuster i mean in today's environment something that's historic the only

00:45:59.980 article i remember tony lyons from the mainstream media was our beloved paper record the new york

00:46:05.280 times did a hit piece on on bobby canny jr about how his family who loves him said we love this guy

00:46:12.120 but he's so far off the reservation we can't help him anymore that's the only mainstream media big

00:46:17.400 article it was jeff hayes having dedicated your life being a filmmaker why is this not in theaters

00:46:23.640 why is this not streaming why is discovery not have this sir yeah every door is shut and this

00:46:30.960 goes all the way down to one of our editors sent us a section that he worked on about a 10 minute

00:46:37.320 section that he put on his private youtube page a couple of months ago for us to review

00:46:42.540 password protected, non-public facing, and YouTube took it down for violating their policy.

00:46:50.340 The website that we have, therealanthonyfaucimovie.com, has already been blacklisted

00:46:55.600 by five different services. We're appealing all of those. We're going to have to play cat and mouse

00:47:02.320 just to show it for free. So the doors that normally are open to me are slammed shut.

00:47:10.760 And that just makes me

00:47:12.720 But Jeff hang on

00:47:13.920 New York City

00:47:16.140 Hollywood, Los Angeles

00:47:18.520 This is the creme de la creme

00:47:20.600 Of the free speech, the creative crowd

00:47:22.600 What is it in your film

00:47:24.960 Sir, that would take the

00:47:26.680 People that are supposed to be the biggest people

00:47:28.920 About free speech in the nation

00:47:30.680 In the creative arts

00:47:31.800 What is in your film that they would block this everywhere

00:47:34.880 Yeah

00:47:36.080 And the real answer is

00:47:38.160 It's Bobby Kennedy in the film

00:47:40.400 the truth is in the film. I have watched Bobby, to me, he's a modern day Joe, as he has been

00:47:47.840 stripped of, you know, this was a man that was liberal royalty in this country that could pick

00:47:54.460 up the phone and call anybody in the United States. And suddenly he's persona non grata.

00:47:59.920 I've watched him stoically just continue to tell the truth and take his stand. And

00:48:08.300 how he has become a pariah to people that he's stood up for all his life i have no idea how this

00:48:16.160 happened this is why we're going to see from everyone that's always going to see him pass on

00:48:20.660 tony lyons correct me if i'm wrong with all the damning evidence and his interview on war room

00:48:27.340 blew up he's calling guys murders you never got sued so what is it in the book that jeff hayes

00:48:33.620 made a film up that would have every distribution platform shut down to you, sir?

00:48:38.920 Because this book is saying that the most powerful health official in this country,

00:48:43.980 the person who was essentially running the country during the pandemic, is absolutely

00:48:50.340 corrupt, is working for the pharmaceutical companies at the expense of public health,

00:48:55.700 and that he's been doing that now for two and a half years, that hundreds of thousands of people

00:49:00.760 have died unnecessarily and that it's the point now where we need truth and reconciliation. We

00:49:06.760 need tens of millions of people to watch this movie, to share this movie, to get a hold of it

00:49:12.620 in any way they can in order to begin to understand what's happened, to be sure that it never happens

00:49:19.580 again in this country or hopefully anywhere. Tony Lyons, how do people get the book? Before

00:49:26.000 I go back to Jeff Hayes, we're running out of time. How do people get the book? Because I know

00:49:29.100 people are going to want to buy the book when they see us from how they get it amazon.com skyhorse

00:49:33.780 publishing.com uh you know the book sold a million copies but i swear to you they were 10 million

00:49:40.520 people who would have read this book if it wasn't shut down so don't let them shut down this movie

00:49:46.120 do everything you can to watch this movie even if you're sure you're going to disagree with it

00:49:51.260 watch it think about it and then tell us that you really disagree with it

00:49:56.040 jeff hayes how do we get to this film and how do people follow you on social media sir you're a

00:50:02.160 hero and a patriot for doing this thank you so much the real anthony fauci movie.com

00:50:08.180 and if they'll just go there we're gonna win

00:50:12.300 oh we're gonna go there we're gonna go there in a big way jeff hayes thank you for doing this and

00:50:19.460 Tony Lyons, you're a hero, a hero for this country.
