That is not the case, so this is a new discovery - the Lorentz force does
NOT have an equal and opposite reaction. Your point is merely theoretical.
My evidence is experimental.

 Correct, merely experimental.
It stands falsified by a reliable theory.
 FYI, the Maxwell-Lorentz equations as they stand
do conserve energy-momentum.
If you want to be taken seriously it is up to you
to tell the world what is wrong with Maxwell-Lorentz,
and how these equations must be modified.
 As long as you can't do that you are merely an incompetent tinkerer,
 

It is entirely possible that Banjo stumbled across that apparent violation of momentum by momentum being carried away by the electromagnetic field. But we will never know since he refuses to produce a writeup in sufficient detail for someone to reproduce his experiment, instead writing "Watch my videos!!!". Add his stubbornness that he insists this is something new that violates Newton/Einstein/Maxwell rather than a known existing behavior, you do get the incompetent tinkerer.
