The Great America Show - BANNON SAYS BIDEN RUNS AMERICA LIKE A TRIBUTARY STATE TO CHINA

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody, and welcome to this edition of The Great America Show,

00:00:04.820 Truth, Justice, and Liberty, all about the American way.

00:00:08.980 Still a lot of fallout, no pun permitted or intended here,

00:00:13.220 a lot of fallout from the Speaker Pelosi invasion of Taiwan.

00:00:17.820 And did she set off a fission-like reaction, whether on mainland China, Taipei, or Washington, D.C.?

00:00:25.800 Here is an 82-year-old Speaker of the House taking charge and setting down in Taipei, Taiwan,

00:00:33.020 to offer security assurances and guarantees to Tsai Ing-wen, the President of Taiwan.

00:00:40.380 The two leaders are historic, Pelosi, the first woman Speaker and the oldest in America,

00:00:46.520 and Tsai, the first woman President of Taiwan.

00:00:50.200 Speaker Pelosi driving the Communist Chinese absolutely crazy. 0.96

00:00:54.520 And back in D.C., President Biden looks even more morose and weaker than ever, 0.91

00:01:00.000 after Pelosi took over foreign policy.

00:01:03.180 Democrats appear to have moved on, though, from Biden.

00:01:06.520 There has been no impeachment, of course, no 25th Amendment asserted.

00:01:10.560 The House, the Senate, however, are ignoring him.

00:01:13.800 His national security team hasn't been heard from in two months.

00:01:17.840 And to be clear, that's not a complaint on my part.

00:01:20.580 But it is a noteworthy rupture in our national government.

00:01:25.240 Not only a bloodless coup, but a silent coup.

00:01:28.840 And no one, not even Biden, seems to be objecting.

00:01:33.160 And oh yes, the national corporate media, they haven't even mentioned the point.

00:01:39.520 And what about the Republicans, you ask?

00:01:41.700 Don't they mind?

00:01:42.680 Don't they want to be part of some big deal discussion and negotiation and power sharing as

00:01:49.180 the result?

00:01:50.600 You don't really need to ask, do you?

00:01:52.460 The Republicans are their habitual and predictable selves.

00:01:56.600 They're milquetoast and mum perfectly pleased to silently wait out the arrival of the midterm 0.95

00:02:02.300 elections without taking a stand on any issue of importance, like, say, presidential succession.

00:02:08.760 You know, who's leading the country?

00:02:11.260 And maybe express just a little concern.

00:02:13.940 Doesn't have to be anger or passion of any kind, of course.

00:02:16.940 These are Republicans, after all.

00:02:20.400 And as a practical matter, no one really wants the impaired Biden in the Oval Office anyway, 0.90

00:02:26.300 nor the knowledge-free and awkward Harris.

00:02:29.580 She's surely not the ticket either.

00:02:31.860 So it appears our national leadership has devolved quite smoothly and without resistance or drama

00:02:38.500 to the one person who is to succeed by our Constitution's design, the next in line, the Speaker of the House.

00:02:47.400 And you might be forgiven for thinking it was all a coup.

00:02:50.760 But no, just for their proof, once again, America's founders were indeed geniuses.

00:02:57.940 And with that, let's turn to our guest today, Patriot friend, former chief strategist to President Donald J. Trump,

00:03:05.380 the host of the top-rated podcast, Steve Bannon's War Room.

00:03:09.220 Steve, great to have you back with us.

00:03:11.040 And we have a lot to talk about.

00:03:13.120 But I'm sure the audience wants to know how you're doing and how goes your legal battle with the deep state,

00:03:19.560 the Marxist Dems, and assorted evildoers.

00:03:22.880 Well, I think it's fine.

00:03:25.420 You know, my attorneys are working on appeals.

00:03:28.160 We've got a number of appeals, I think five or six defenses.

00:03:31.800 Most importantly is one about a vice-a-counsel.

00:03:35.240 But most importantly, I think for everybody, is going to be the executive privilege.

00:03:40.020 I think that could go all the way up, not just the Appellate Court,

00:03:42.920 maybe the Supreme Court, to finally get a decision on what executive privilege is

00:03:47.620 and the separation of powers in this regard.

00:03:49.320 So, look, I've got a fantastic team of attorneys, as I've always said,

00:03:53.420 and we're working through the processing side.

00:03:55.720 I appreciate everybody's focused on it, Lou,

00:03:57.800 but we've got so many more important things to deal with in this country.

00:04:01.120 My situation is, you know, tangential to anything that's going on,

00:04:06.440 because we've got, what, 96, 97 days until the most important midterm in our lifetime.

00:04:12.320 And, you know, everybody needs to be focused on that and what we're going to do afterwards

00:04:17.680 to make sure we can sort things out.

00:04:21.240 We have no lack of issues to discuss.

00:04:25.280 I want to turn to, first, though, what we are witnessing in China before we get to the elections.

00:04:32.540 This is another existential moment with an impaired president, a vice president, 0.98

00:04:41.900 who seems to be at sea on every issue, on every responsibility of a typical vice president.

00:04:48.560 We are in deep, deep trouble when the secretary, the speaker of the House,

00:04:54.320 has to take up leadership on foreign policy, as she did in Taiwan.

00:04:58.160 Yeah, well, you know, Nancy Pelosi, I think, surprised people.

00:05:03.420 Remember, Lou, she used to be very hardcore anti-CCP when she first ran for office back in the 90s. 0.96

00:05:08.400 In fact, it was one of her key planks in that San Francisco area,

00:05:12.240 and she almost got arrested in Tiananmen Square at one of the first anniversaries of it.

00:05:17.180 Of course, she's gone soft with the Democratic Party line since then.

00:05:21.440 You know, I thought what she did was I fully supported it.

00:05:26.020 Since then, Biden has been very weak.

00:05:28.160 As usual, the compromised Biden, administration Biden regime, I think, has done a terrible job.

00:05:34.920 And, you know, now with Sullivan and Blinken, they're kowtowing.

00:05:39.520 As the Chinese military looks to, the Chinese military looks to, you know,

00:05:45.320 they're encircling Taiwan right now in exercises.

00:05:48.300 They're encircling them with live fire exercises and also firing missiles into the commercial zone

00:05:55.340 in the waters off Japan.

00:05:58.380 I protest by the Japanese to China, but this is perfunctory and meaningless in point of fact. 0.90

00:06:05.000 And you mentioned Blinken and Sullivan, but Blinken, Sullivan, and Lloyd Austin all are missing.

00:06:14.100 They haven't been around for two months.

00:06:16.220 We're talking about the national security team of the U.S. government here,

00:06:20.000 and they are nowhere to be found.

00:06:22.440 And this president is making all, he's not even making guttural utterances

00:06:27.380 about what China is doing as they insult our allies and the United States government. 0.84

00:06:35.940 Well, you know, they lied the other day when she had this, you know, the playing with fire.

00:06:40.940 Those who play with fire will get burned, which is a huge insult, obviously,

00:06:44.420 to the American people and to our country on this call.

00:06:48.020 But then they continue to lie about what's said.

00:06:50.240 They try to lie and say that Biden really pressed him on worker conditions and the Uyghurs 0.98

00:06:55.620 and forced labor and all that. 1.00

00:06:57.020 And the Chinese just said that's a lie.

00:06:59.020 In fact, the Chinese said, why don't you release the false transcript,

00:07:02.420 which the White House refuses to do?

00:07:04.340 So, listen, it's everything you would expect, Lou, from a group that you can see exactly what their character is.

00:07:12.820 Like going to the laptop from hell.

00:07:14.620 And the laptop from hell shows that they're not only honeypotted, but more, you know, worse.

00:07:19.180 They're compromised financially by Chinese Communist Party companies. 0.63

00:07:23.620 And it's a disgrace.

00:07:25.280 Biden's been, you know, has run this country like a tributary state to China.

00:07:30.040 And now I think Taiwan's in play with the real estate implosion and the capital markets implosion in China,

00:07:38.920 where the CCP has to protect the Bank of China branches with tanks out front.

00:07:44.560 It looks like Tiananmen Square.

00:07:46.280 Right now, Xi is looking for something to reinforce his support for the 20th Party Congress,

00:07:51.740 which he hopes to be named essentially emperor for life.

00:07:54.840 But I believe now that they're really going to try to move on Taiwan.

00:07:59.400 And I think Nancy Pelosi gave security guarantees while she was there. 0.53

00:08:03.920 America's got to step up. 1.00

00:08:05.120 I just hope the Seventh Fleet is on top of things, because I don't have any faith, given Austin and the rest of this crowd.

00:08:11.020 It's very difficult to evaluate the situation, how we would deal with the threats when we have a national security team,

00:08:20.800 Sullivan, Austin, Blinken.

00:08:24.740 This is this is a robust gathering of weaklings and incompetence.

00:08:31.960 And they have not demonstrated any adroitness whatsoever on any issue in foreign policy since this since Biden took office a year and a half ago.

00:08:40.660 Have they?

00:08:42.100 No, I mean, it's look, as you know, as scary as it gets, we are in a very treacherous time.

00:08:49.280 The Bank of England just today, as you know, Lou announced that they think inflation will peak in October at 13 percent.

00:08:56.260 They don't believe it will be down to two percent.

00:08:58.240 Donald Trump's two percent until 2020, middle of 2025.

00:09:02.060 They project a long and deep recession.

00:09:05.280 The world's economy is and by the way, the Bank of England is dealing straighter with the American people

00:09:09.320 in the American capital markets than our own Federal Reserve.

00:09:12.820 We're in for a real very tough time.

00:09:15.680 The Chinese economy is imploding.

00:09:18.820 The CP has stolen the savings of the Laos by China and won't return them. 0.72

00:09:23.380 That means the world economy is going to go into even a deeper recession than what Biden's already been listening to.

00:09:28.160 So in a time of challenging economics, you need people with a steady hand.

00:09:33.980 And just across the board, if you look at the Iran deal where the Iranians say now that they can build a nuclear weapon, 0.77

00:09:39.520 if you look at what's happening in Ukraine, all the way to the South China Sea and the Straits of Taiwan,

00:09:46.000 it's an unmitigated disaster.

00:09:47.480 And the American people know that.

00:09:48.440 The polling all shows they have absolutely no faith in no faith at all in in the Biden regime.

00:09:54.720 So faith and the Biden regime, there's just no way I can find a juxtaposition for those those terms.

00:10:03.300 This is a this is a disaster for the American people right now to have a Marxist dem leadership for the Democrat Party.

00:10:13.200 That is, is anti-American as are either Russia or Iran or the People's Republic of China.

00:10:22.240 It is that straightforward.

00:10:24.200 And the corporatist news media is doing their usual complicit ignorance of of all the events that are most important.

00:10:35.700 And amongst those, the elections in Arizona, Michigan, this this is a remarkable week.

00:10:44.180 I am so worried about Carrie Lake and how she is going to come out of this.

00:10:49.900 What looks like a rigged election in Arizona and Maricopa County.

00:10:54.440 I hope she prevails, but I don't I have to say I I'm not sanguine about it.

00:11:00.220 Your thoughts.

00:11:01.040 Well, I'm very concerned.

00:11:03.760 I mean, you know, she was down by 10 points the way they count the vote.

00:11:06.920 So she started coming back with a 70 percent.

00:11:10.580 Game day vote spread, which is just extraordinary to show you about the Trump voter.

00:11:15.980 You know, she's leading.

00:11:17.220 She's up by 2 percent now, but they've got one hundred twenty five thousand votes.

00:11:20.540 They haven't counted and they're doing five thousand vote increments.

00:11:23.640 I feel very concerned about it.

00:11:25.640 We had Kelly Ward on the show today. 0.99

00:11:27.760 I think the ropes in ought to concede right now.

00:11:31.220 There's no path for victory or mathematically.

00:11:33.760 And they're just trying to hold it up.

00:11:35.240 This shows you McCain, D.C., real estate, corporate financial elite and establishment in Arizona do not want to give up.

00:11:44.920 You know, they got the tables run on them, including Rusty Bower is getting crushed.

00:11:48.900 They don't want to give it up to the Trump movement.

00:11:50.700 And they're going to fight.

00:11:51.560 They're going to fight.

00:11:52.140 What I don't understand, and this is frankly shades of 2020, is why the Carrie Lake campaign did not have attorneys ready to go in every every polling station in every every place in Maricopa County, which everyone knows is crooked as it could possibly be.

00:12:15.100 And this is just a disaster waiting to happen.

00:12:19.360 And again, if it happens, it's going to be because the Republican Party wasn't prepared to fight on street terms with these thugs, these Marxist Dems. 0.96

00:12:32.740 This is getting sickening.

00:12:34.780 And to hear Ronna McDaniel predict glibly that the Republicans will win four seats in the House in what should be a wave election, every Republican, every American should be deeply concerned about this party and what it's capable of doing right now.

00:12:51.780 Well, look, I agree that Katie Hobbs, the secretary of state, she's one of the ones that's caused this problem in Arizona. 0.99

00:12:58.040 But you've got to remember, in Pinal County, it's a five-man Republican supervisor.

00:13:03.580 It's Maricopa County the same way, all Republicans.

00:13:07.320 And so it's Republicans, the Republican establishment, the RINOs.

00:13:10.160 And this is the same crowd with Ronna that doesn't want to be majority.

00:13:14.200 They'd rather have a controlled majority than have another 40 or 50 Trump-type acolytes win in the House. 0.99

00:13:22.380 So this is – look, it's all down to – and I think also they're trying to break the spirit of the Trump movement to show you, yeah, the elections are rigged.

00:13:28.560 We rig them.

00:13:29.300 What are you going to do about it?

00:13:30.300 And I think that's a challenge for us right now.

00:13:32.300 We're going to have to make a determination of what actually we are going to do about it because if we just continue to sit here and take this – and I agree with you on the Republican Party.

00:13:39.900 And even Kerry, I've advocated that Kerry actually go into court because I think I agree with you.

00:13:46.920 I think unless you're taking a court action right now and get some sort of – at least get some judges, supervisors, I do not trust Maricopa County whatsoever at all.

00:13:55.500 I think it's nothing but bad news.

00:13:57.880 Yeah.

00:13:58.320 Maricopa County, Fulton County in Georgia, Wayne County in Michigan are taking on the mantle of Cook County, Illinois in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

00:14:09.220 I mean, they are everything corrupt that Cook County was and more because, as you said, this is in-your-face corruption. 0.74

00:14:21.340 This is in-your-face we're going to rig it and you can't do a damn thing about it, Republicans, MAGA. 0.96

00:14:28.420 And you know what?

00:14:30.120 Right now, it is a true statement because the Republican Party isn't organized for street fighting, and this is street fighting.

00:14:39.500 I 100 percent agree.

00:14:42.220 But the Trump movement better get organized for street fighting.

00:14:45.140 I mean, you're going to have to get in there.

00:14:47.260 And because they're telling you right now, they're showing you about what's happening in Maricopa County.

00:14:51.180 They don't care about your sensibilities.

00:14:52.720 I mean, this is outrageous.

00:14:54.000 The way they're counting these votes right now, Lou, we would not get a count until Labor Day at 5,000 vote increments.

00:15:02.020 So this is where we've got to start taking action and say, hey, you've got to demand.

00:15:05.800 I think you've got to go into court.

00:15:07.880 Kelly Ward basically pleaded with Robeson to concede today.

00:15:13.240 That's not going to happen.

00:15:14.680 And so Kelly Lake is being robbed of her victory night speech on main media. 0.98

00:15:18.140 She's being robbed of any intensity.

00:15:20.800 She's got to fire up the football and go up to Hobbs right away.

00:15:23.780 And Katie Hobbs is part of this.

00:15:25.260 They show the confusion and the disorganization of the Republican Party, and they'll use that against us in November.

00:15:32.300 Well, they're going to use everything.

00:15:35.560 Let's be honest.

00:15:36.660 If there is a November, at the rate this is going, the Republican Party is going to have to fight very hard to have a contest with what should have been,

00:15:45.420 according to every strategist, every pollster, a wave election.

00:15:49.960 And I'm not a, as you know, I'm not a cheerleader, and I am certainly not a person who will profess optimism when I feel that the straits are dire indeed.

00:16:00.640 And this is such a moment.

00:16:01.760 I would like to say that the Republican Party is something different than what it was in 2020.

00:16:09.680 Lana McDaniel and what we're witnessing right now tells me that the Republican Party didn't learn a damn thing, and it is enough to make you gut sick.

00:16:20.680 What should be our response, do you think, to this?

00:16:24.700 I just think we've got to get tougher.

00:16:26.840 I mean, look, the MAGA movement, nobody's going to give us anything, right?

00:16:29.820 You see in Arizona, you have to outvote the fraud, and you have to outvote the money.

00:16:35.980 Because the money, they dropped $30 million against, they dropped $30 million against Carrie Lake, right?

00:16:43.280 And she only had three and a half.

00:16:45.340 So you're going to have to outvote the fraud.

00:16:47.220 You're going to have to outvote the money.

00:16:48.520 We're going to have to outwork them.

00:16:49.900 I think this is a clearing call.

00:16:51.420 I don't think November is going to be any easier.

00:16:53.080 They're going to try to steal it in November.

00:16:54.620 They're trying to break your spirit.

00:16:56.080 We cannot be broken.

00:16:57.380 So it's time to go to work.

00:16:58.500 If we have any more of these country club Republicans in charge of anything, they ought to be thrown out on their keisters.

00:17:07.360 I want to go to the issue, though, of this counting votes in 5,000 increments and doing so into, I don't know, into perpetuity if they want.

00:17:16.300 How is it that in a day of the digital age, and we hear all of the digital electronic voting companies telling us how proficient they are, how efficacious and swift digital technology is, and there's no reason for us to worry our little heads about things.

00:17:34.040 They can't even get an election counted, Steve.

00:17:37.120 They cannot get it counted.

00:17:39.660 And do you know what?

00:17:40.300 Everybody sits around with sucking on their thumbs saying, oh, you know, this is a – we'll just have to be patient. 1.00

00:17:45.820 This is idiotic for Americans to sit here and put up with this nonsense. 0.99

00:17:49.980 Now, listen, it's trying to break our spirit, and, you know, everything we're going to try to do is a misdirection play and to break our spirit. 1.00

00:17:59.620 That's why MAGA – look, for the good of the country, MAGA has to be tougher.

00:18:03.620 MAGA has to be stronger.

00:18:04.900 MAGA has to organize.

00:18:07.260 Look, we've done a fantastic job.

00:18:08.700 If you look at the votes in Michigan, if you look at the votes in Arizona, people have really come together.

00:18:13.780 Now, they're going to try to pull every trick and don't think this is the last thing they're going to do.

00:18:17.520 So it's just – we've just got to pull together and get it done.

00:18:19.780 It's not going to be pretty.

00:18:21.240 Ninety-five days ago, and it's going to be very, very tough, very, very hard.

00:18:25.740 And we're letting an impaired president who now has in the basement with him Lloyd Austin, Jake Sullivan, Tony Blinken, the entire national security team, and no one hears from them. 0.80

00:18:40.700 And now we hear HHS is declaring a monkeypox public health emergency nationwide.

00:18:47.760 Do you know how many cases there are, Steve?

00:18:49.880 6,617 monkeypox cases.

00:18:54.500 And they're declaring, again, another national emergency.

00:18:58.700 I wonder what for.

00:18:59.740 Could it have anything to do with the election?

00:19:04.080 A thousand percent.

00:19:05.240 I mean, listen, this is what they're – they love mail-in votes.

00:19:07.940 They love mail-in ballots.

00:19:08.900 They particularly love them when there's no ID and no signature check so they can dump them off in these – just like 2,000 mules.

00:19:15.640 No, they love that.

00:19:16.860 Obviously, they're going to – this is not the last national emergency we're going to see, Lloyd.

00:19:21.820 Trust me.

00:19:23.360 Steve, this appears to be a significant rupture between Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, and the President of the United States.

00:19:30.380 For all the world, with her taking on the leadership role and a determinate leadership role, it looks like a coup by Nancy Pelosi.

00:19:40.000 And the impaired president is relegated to where he properly belongs. 0.98

00:19:44.840 A base – your thoughts?

00:19:46.360 Well, I think that Manchin and Schumer didn't include him at all in the discussion of this Manchin fiasco.

00:19:53.580 Nancy Pelosi is acting like the commander-in-chief.

00:19:55.760 I mean, every candidate out there, everybody running in this midterm, including Gretchen Whitmer, doesn't want Joe Biden anywhere near him.

00:20:02.820 Why?

00:20:03.060 He's got historic low polling.

00:20:05.160 I mean, historically, why does he have that lose?

00:20:06.880 You know he's illegitimate.

00:20:08.820 He has no authority.

00:20:10.460 American people are now wise to that. 0.99

00:20:12.420 It's only going to get worse.

00:20:13.700 And the Democrats are showing you this is not coming from Republicans.

00:20:16.200 It's not coming from Trump.

00:20:17.000 His own party is abandoning him.

00:20:19.040 And if you think, why should she sit there and say, why should I treat him with any respect if Nancy Pelosi, his own Speaker of the House and his own party, doesn't treat him with any respect?

00:20:29.380 So I think you've nailed it.

00:20:30.260 And I think that's where the crisis in the country is now.

00:20:33.240 For MAGA to basically help turn the country around, we've got to look at Maricopa County, what the problem was, and make sure that we sort this thing out, because it's not going to get any easier for us.

00:20:44.760 Steve Bannon is the star of CPAC this year in Dallas, Texas.

00:20:50.500 I know you'll give him what for, and for me, give him hell and have fun.

00:20:55.380 I, Lou Dobbs, wish you were down here.

00:20:59.100 It's 100 and some degrees.

00:21:00.100 I understand it's a little hot up on the farm, too.

00:21:01.740 So, look, thank you.

00:21:02.480 I love the show, and thank you for having me on.

00:21:04.400 Thank you, Steve.

00:21:05.200 All the best.

00:21:06.780 Thanks, everybody, for being with us.

00:21:08.480 Tomorrow on The Great America Show will be Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, member of the powerful Foreign Affairs Committee.

00:21:16.020 Please be with us tomorrow.

00:21:17.580 Until then, God bless you, and God bless America.
