Stephen K. Bannon delivers an update from the Oval Office on the day of Liberation Day, the Vietnam response to President Trump's tariffs, and the impact of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on the midterms and the upcoming midterms.
00:05:33.580If the people who supported President Trump will vote, I will win.
00:05:37.320I will win overwhelmingly, but we need them to do that.
00:05:40.720And that is the challenge that we have right now is explaining to people that the agenda is at stake and we need them to go and vote right now.
00:05:49.800Let me be blunt to the Warren Posse because you guys are the tip of the tip of the spear.
00:05:55.000Wisconsin, Wisconsin, and they have many issues in Wisconsin.
00:06:19.760If they win that Supreme Court seat, it's going to go 4-4.
00:06:22.320If they win 4-4, folks, I'm telling you, if we hang on to North Carolina, the redistricting, if we hang on to Louisiana, I think Louisiana is the Supreme Court, that means it has to be New York and California we have to hold.
00:06:35.380And we're assuming that Randy Fine is representing Florida 6.
00:06:41.240We don't have any bandwidth whatsoever.
00:06:44.280If you like what you see from the Oval Office, if you like what you see with President Trump's doing up on Capitol Hill,
00:06:49.060if you like what he's doing, both legislatively, if you like the executive orders, if you like the action, action, action, because he's delivering.
00:06:56.560We can't put any more pressure on this guy.
00:06:58.400This guy's got the weight of the world on his shoulders, and he's delivering.
00:09:32.000They will do anything to steal this seat because they know what it means, which is why I need everybody who lives in the 6th Congressional District.
00:19:22.360Chuck, we had Mark Elias, and we had the signing of the order.
00:19:27.720Talk to me why this executive order you said from the President of the United States is very similar to what you've been doing in Wyoming.
00:19:34.200Did he crib what you guys are working on, or did you crib him, sir?
00:19:37.700Oh, President Trump, CEO yesterday, huge moment for election integrity in our country, proof of citizenship.
00:19:45.720For registering to vote, stopping foreign funding of elections, and that's exactly what we've been working on in Wyoming.
00:19:55.380In our recently completed 2025 general session, we passed proof of citizenship for registering to vote.
00:20:01.860We applied it to all races, unlike many states that don't have exemptions from the National Voter Registration Act that can't apply it to federal races.
00:20:12.260And that was one of the things that this EO does.
00:20:15.160It says that the National Voter Registration Form shall require proof of citizenship.
00:20:21.740We also banned the foreign funding of elections, closed the federal loophole that the FEC put in place that allows federal funding for statewide ballot measures, which is really disturbing.
00:20:33.620And we closed that in our recently completed general session.
00:20:37.080And President Trump's executive order closes it as well by saying that the DOJ needs to prosecute these cases of foreign funding of elections that we've seen in Michigan and Ohio with ballot measures.
00:20:51.420So hang on a second, because this is explosive.
00:20:57.600You're saying that you can prove, and you're rooting out of Wyoming, that there's foreign, not just influence, but foreign money coming in to drive some of these elections, sir?
00:21:07.780This is a trend across our country because the FEC issued a decision a while back that the ban on foreign funding of elections does not apply to statewide ballot measures.
00:21:21.820This is in past administrations, and the FEC is sort of a quasi-independent agency.
00:21:27.960And so what we've been trying to do is go state by state, and chief election officials in each state, like myself, have been trying to bring through legislatures bans on foreign funding of statewide ballot measures, this loophole that the FEC created in the past.
00:21:44.360And we were the second state to pass this ban two and a half weeks ago in our state statute, and the EO is working to push back on the FEC decision.
00:21:55.620I know the Congress is working on it as well because it is a decision that we've got to reverse.
00:22:01.240Have you noticed, you're kind of at the cutting edge of this, have you noticed since President Trump won, because we've just talked about Pennsylvania and people kind of leaning on their rakes there in Florida, we're trying to fire people for this Florida 6, we see it in Wisconsin right now.
00:22:17.140Now, were people so excited about President Trump winning, Chuck?
00:22:23.280Do you think that now the election integrity, is that a harder sell for the MAGA base?
00:22:27.780Are people still up on the ramparts about this and saying, yeah, we've got to clean all these elections up, sir?
00:22:34.720President Trump is doing a fantastic job.
00:22:37.960I mean, Steve, think about this fact sheet on the first 100 days, how that's going to read.
00:22:44.820So he's doing a fantastic job, and I think that the election integrity movement, that there is still a huge appetite.
00:22:53.720People understand that we need to continue to push these election integrity measures that we've been pushing since the 2020 election fiasco, and that's why we won this election in 2024.
00:23:06.680It's a huge part of it is that we were advancing these election integrity measures.
00:23:11.680President Trump just did a fantastic job.
00:23:14.820We're traveling the entire country pushing and putting forward our Make America Great Again message.
00:23:21.200But the election integrity measures that advanced have also been extremely helpful in that respect.
00:23:28.240And I think people understand that we've got to continue pushing election integrity.
00:23:32.700We've done some polling on it, and election integrity is at the forefront of voters' minds in Wyoming.
00:23:38.200And across our country, Scott Rasmussen released some polling about two weeks ago showing that over 90 percent of Americans want proof of citizenship for registering to vote, Steve.
00:24:14.560The reason we won in 2024 is work that you and others had done in the lead up in those dark years of 21, 22, 23, where we couldn't get the reversal that we needed for the election that was stolen.
00:24:27.820What worked the most that led to this triumph in 2024, sir?
00:24:34.940President Trump really worked to advance conservative secretaries of state in the 2022 cycle.
00:24:44.740He endorsed our campaign, and I'm proud to have the President Trump's endorsement in that campaign.
00:24:51.580I think one of the key aspects of what we advanced in the intervening period after the 2020 election fiasco was the ban on Zuck Bucks, the ban on third-party interference in elections.
00:25:06.900You look at what the Democrats and the left machine did in swing states with these Zuck Bucks and these drop boxes.
00:25:15.360We pushed back on that, and Wyoming became the 28th state to ban this third-party interference in elections.
00:25:23.680And then I also think the eyes that were on the entire election process, that was pivotal.
00:25:30.360Of course, the most important part, the sine qua non, if you will, was President Trump and the work that he has continued to do, pushing back on the radical left, campaigning and advancing our message across the United States.
