Steve Bannon: ‘We Know How to Get Low Propensity, Low Information Voters out to Support the President’s Policies’

CUOMO: “All right, well, so you’re talking about litigating this issue. Because I don’t want people to listen to our interview and say, ‘Bannon is cooking up an insurrection, Bannon is cooking up...’ You know what I mean? I want people to get a straight take on where your head is. What are you suggesting?”
Bannon: “Chris, as you know, I’ve had greater long shots than this. We supported President Trump after the election. I realize you don’t believe the election of 2020 was stolen. We do. We firmly believe that. When President Trump went back to Mar-a-Lago —“
CUOMO: “Who’s ‘we?’”
Bannon: “ — on January 20, 2021, he was the longest of long shots to return to the White House. We said that day on our podcast and doubled down we’re having President Trump’s back, that he was coming back, not just to win the primary, he would win the White House and we had to get organized and drive that victory, also start working on all the policies, what’s called Project 2025 or the America First Policy Institute, but all those different think tanks that started putting in the policies that you’re seeing today and what we call flood the zone or days of thunder or however you want to describe it. But this has been many years in the making. We had greater long shots than Trump 2028 and we got a lot of stuff we’re working on there. We’re not prepared to talk about it publicly, but in a couple of months I think we will be.”
CUOMO: “But you are not suggesting revolution or overthrow or anything that people would condemn?”
Bannon: “Chris, we just won one of the biggest sweeping victories. We’re in the middle of a 1932 type realignment, if we can continue on, continue to have populist policies, populist nationalist policies — “
CUOMO: “So that’s your analogy?”
Bannon: “We have African-American men coming to our side, we have Hispanics coming to our side. So, no, we’re huge believers in democracy because we know how to get votes out, we know how to get low-propensity, low-information voters out to support the president’s policies. The anti-democratic forces, I think you’re seeing them today in the courts. I mean, they’re trying to obstruct a sitting president of the United States from fulfilling his executive mandate. So, no, we’re the big believers in democracy and we show it because we won this unbelievable come-from-behind, not just in ‘16, as you know, but in 2024, when virtually everybody ruled Trump out.”
