STEVE BANNON (HOST): This Thursday debate is totally, 100% rigged.
...
The organizing principle of CNN is a hatred of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement to the core of their being, they hate -- not disagree, not have policy differences, they hate Donald J. Trump and they hate the MAGA movement.
...
Let me say the quiet part out loud. Donald J. Trump gave CNN, from a business perspective, a life preserver. It is a dying business, it's sinking, it's missing its numbers, and Trump went and said CNN you can do it first. It'll be the most watched political event I think in modern history. And President Trump graciously, graciously, because he's a class guy, went and did that and essentially bailed out -- what's he's doing on Thursday will bail them out for the entire year and you see the raw hatred and disrespect they have for MAGA, for the American people.
...
It's a channel and a network that has no self-confidence in what they do. This thing is totally rigged.
...
Why should the president of the United States, who had the 2020 election stolen, why should he walk into a trap in basically -- near their corporate headquarters down there, a trap with no audience and they control the mic? The same yahoo schmendrick in the control room that cut off and dumped Karoline Leavitt, will have control of President Trump's mic and ability to cut away? No. No. Impossible. Impossible. It's totally rigged.
