Donald Trump
I think so, yes. Good. I think it's a good point. Thank you.
Steve Bannon
On the shutdown, we are now about.
Reporter / Journalist
One week away from military service members missing their paycheck.
Donald Trump
We'll always take care of our military.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
Would you encourage Congress to pass a.
Reporter / Journalist
Standalone bill to pay our servicemembers?
Donald Trump
Yeah, that probably will happen. We have to worry about it yet. That's a long time. You know what one week is for me? An eternity. One week for me is a long time. We'll take care of it. Our military is always going to be taken care of. Yeah. Please. Blue dress. Blue.
Reporter / Journalist
Thank you, Mr. President. Rebecca with Blaze News. I'm curious to know you're talking about the money funding these Antifa organizations and somebody brought up Roy Singham. I think it was you. Who by the way, is married to one of the co founders of Code Pink, this infamous left wing organization. I'm curious to know the administration.
Donald Trump
Who is that?
Reporter / Journalist
Who is that Roy Singham he's married to?
Donald Trump
No. Did you say they're here?
Reporter / Journalist
No, he's not a journalist brought him up, but.
Donald Trump
Oh, I see. Okay.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
Yeah.
Reporter / Journalist
Okay, thank you.
Donald Trump
Good, good, good.
Reporter / Journalist
Bring up, you know, excellent.
Donald Trump
Go ahead.
Reporter / Journalist
He's, he's somebody who's been reported on extensively and I'd love to know what the administration is going to do to actually bring consequences to some of these names you mentioned.
Donald Trump
Well, I don't know the name, but I would like to ask Pam to take a look at it. You know, a lot of the best information we find are through you and other people like you. So I'd like you to look at it. Pam, in the back, please.
Reporter / Journalist
It's been actually very compelling proof that Antifa did infiltrate on January 6, dressed.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
Up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something that you would want.
Reporter / Journalist
The new J6 committee at Congress to look into?
Donald Trump
Well, I've heard that they dress up like, you know, they're fresh out of maga, but they have nothing to do with maga and they make trouble and they try and blame it and yeah, we know some of that and we will be acting on some of that. We've seen it. We've seen it. So I think you could stay a little longer. But you know, the problem is, although you have some very honest journalists in here, you also have some mostly largely dishonest journalists like MSDNC and cnn. I think they're very dishonest, unbelievably, like a waste of time even talking to them. But I have to go now to try and solve some problems. In the Middle east, although I'm very well represented by our Secretary of State, he could probably do an even better job than me, but who knows? We don't want to take any chances. So we're going to go and do that. If you'd like. Pam, would you like to stay for another five minutes, 10 minutes, while we have all these great people? And I'll let Pam and Christie take over and get some good points out. I just want to thank the people around the table in particular. You've been amazing. You've been brave. You're real patriots. You're real patriots. And at some point, we're going to have to look into, at least in certain cases, rewarding you with some very important medals and honors. Okay? As we have done, and we'll be doing with Charlie Kirk, you know, Charlie is getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is our highest award outside of the Congressional Medal of Honor. And I think they're sort of even one's civilian and one's military. But unfortunately, the civilian sometimes is military also because of what we have to go through. And the streets of this. Of this country. I can only tell you this. We have a great nation. We have a nation that's right now the hottest in the entire world, with the hottest nation in the world, despite all of the things we've been saying today. But that's going to make your job easier, because nobody is doing better than we are financially. We're. We've never done better. We've had, I think, 58 stock market increases since I've been top, meaning record increases. We have never seen anything like it. And we're going to keep it going. That makes it a little bit easier for what we're doing. I guess maybe it also makes some people crazy because they don't want to see us do well. But we're the hottest nation anywhere in the world. And we were a dead nation one year ago. I say it all the time. We were a dead nation. Now we're the hottest nation in the world. And that's said, too, by every leader. One of the reasons that we have every country already signed up or just about to sign every country in the world on this whole mess we have going over with Hamas in the Middle east and all of the things you see is they respect our nation. A year ago, you wouldn't have been able to get it. You certainly couldn't have gotten it with Biden. He didn't know where the hell he was. But a year ago, you wouldn't have been able to have a situation like this. So I just want to thank the people around this table and certainly the officials around the table because they've been incredible. They've been brave. And I watched yesterday, Pam and I watched a little bit. I thought it was so good. I rounded up and I watched it late in the evening because I thought you were fantastic yesterday. You really look, you had some wonderful senators, some great politicians asking you very fair questions, and you had some real, real slime balls. But I thought you were amazing. So thank you very much. And Christy, thanks for the great job. Cash, thanks for the great job. Always My man down there, he's, he's a silent type, but he's a hell of a lawyer. Thank you all. We're going to get, we're going to get peace in the Middle East. That's what we want to do. Thank you very much, everybody.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
What specifically makes you so hopeful, Mr. President?
Steve Bannon
Okay, President Trump, a blockbuster announcement about going to the Middle east for peace. Very close to the thing. We're going to stick here. Let's just keep the camera. President Trump has given authorization for Kristi Noem and for the Attorney General of the United States to continue the press conference. We'll see if that happens. I should say it's a press avail. There's the president leaving right now. The roundtable, did they cut that? They lost it. If we get that feedback, let's continue on because they're going to ask a few more questions. So we should get, we should be able to pick it up. President States just left Kristi Noem, Director of Homeland Security, and Pam Bondi to continue on, as he said, maybe take a few more questions. What you're seeing, and this is why I continue to say you have to appreciate President Trump every day. What just happened there over the last hour or so is so extraordinary, a roundtable. And on Antifa, the president having, you know, people like Cash and Pam Bondi and others talk about the, the terror, you know, the designate antifa terrorist organization of what they're going to do, but also at the end, that give and take. And this is the power of having alternative media there, not just real America's Voice, but many other podcasters and other news services. You see the give and take and you actually see some of the information they can get and how President Trump absorbs that. We've broken the grip of not just the big three TV networks or big four TV networks, but also the chokehold cable TV in the New York Times and the Washington Post. Head on, head on. News and information flow that was absolutely extraordinary right there. And we got clips. We have Mike Davis going to join U.S. court. So this morning was very important. Comey has been. Comey has been finally indicted and arraigned. His trial will start on the 5th of January of 2026. I am sure that that is going to be the can kick down the road. Although he asked for. He asked for dismissal. Do we have the cold open when you play from. Let's go. We got a col from some of the antifa situation. Let's go and play that then Mike Davis is going to join us. Let's go ahead and let it rip.
Reporter / Journalist
We pleaded not guilty this morning on charges of lying to Congress, allegations his lawyers call vindictive and politically motivated. And according to legal experts, they have a pretty good argument especially as we previously reported the government star witness might not be helpful to their case. Katie was a totally packed courtroom today and the best word I have for it is surreal. It was absolutely surreal to see James Comey, who once led the FBI, who was the deputy Attorney General who served as the Southern District of New York's U.S. attorney. And perhaps most importantly for our purposes today, he was the U.S. attorney in charge of the Richmond office of the office now prosecuting him, the Eastern District of Virginia. So to see him stand up in court today and say that he understood his constitutional and statutory rights to plead not guilty and then listen as his lawyer previewed a series of defense motions that could get rid of this case before trial and negotiate with prosecutors. Things like when discovery is going to be produced, what it's going to look like, how they're going to get clearances to review classified information and most importantly, when this case will be ready to go to trial was just bizarre, particularly given where I was sitting in the courtroom. I had the Comey family two rows ahead of me with three of his daughters there, along with some of their spouses and his wife Patrice and at one point his daughter Maureen Comey. Perhaps the best known of the Comey children, she was herself a United States. I'm sorry. An assistant United States attorney in the Southern District, New York, prosecuted the Ghislaine Maxwell and Sean Diddy Combs trials but was fired in July for reasons not identified or articulated. Perhaps for the crime of being James Comey's daughter. To see her, comfort her mother, put her arm around her mom and rub it at the very end of today's proceedings, really there just aren't words. It felt like living in the Upside Down. To see Jim Comey go From being a leading figure in United States federal law enforcement to being a criminal defendant in a courthouse where he himself perhaps once stood and delivered arguments on behalf of the United States.
Donald Trump
It should be clear to all Americans that we have a very serious left wing terror threat in our country. Radicals associated with the domestic terror group Antifa that you've heard a lot about lately, and I've heard a lot about them. For 10 years and other far left extremists have been carrying out a campaign of violence against ICE agents and other officials charged with enforcing federal law. In Chicago, anarchists have surveilled at least four local ICE facilities and posted diagrams of the buildings online, meaning nothing but bad, accompanied by photos of specific ICE agents that they're targeting one in particular, who's a top person and a great person, great patriot. In July, approximately a dozen antifa line militants stormed the ICE facility in Texas and then lured officers out of the building before firing dozens of rounds at police. They were crazy, frankly, shooting one Texas officer in the neck. And in Portland, Oregon, antifa thugs have repeatedly attacked our officers and laid siege to federal property in an attempt to violently stop the execution of federal law. Everything we're doing is very lawful. What they're doing is not lawful.
Mike Davis
My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn't imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn't either. My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I'm innocent. So let's have a trial. That's a reminder that Comey is a forceful and articulate speaker. He may not be able to speak while this case is pending, but he's got a forceful and articulate lawyer, Pat Fitzgerald, who is a longtime fixture in the DOJ and the legal community. And he was a special counsel. He won a conviction of a high official for lying to investigators at one point. So he knows that charge intimately. And he said today in court that it was the honor of his life to represent James Comey.
Donald Trump
Under the last administration, the Department of Justice targeted faithful Catholics, Christians and patriotic parents as domestic, domestic extremists. They said, oh, they're extreme because they believe in God. They're extreme because they go to a Catholic church or evangelicals. Everybody was under the gun. Unless you are a really bad, sick person, then they left you alone. Under the Trump administration, we're going after antifa criminals, and all who fund and support their campaigns are in serious trouble. And we have a lot of records already, a lot of surprises, a lot of bad surprises. It's people that you would never think.
Cash Patel
You know as well as I do. The president of the United States in the last 24 hours called for you to be imprisoned.
Steve Bannon
I want to give you an opportunity.
Cash Patel
We've seen your reaction on social media, but I want to hear what you have to say back to the President of the United States.
Brian Glenn
Let's start with the idea that this.
Steve Bannon
Is a convicted felon.
Brian Glenn
I mean, think about that. Who's threatening to jail me. I got to say, this guy's unhinged, he's insecure, he's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump.
Steve Bannon
If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me. Okay, Pritzker, right there. I think you see the juxtaposition today. The FBI, the former, the corrupt, the crooked cop, Comey being arraigned on two felony charges in a courtroom where the FBI brings a lot of their a lot of their cases. And then President Trump has the antifa roundtable afterwards. I think part of that is to emphasize what Comey and Ray and the FBI and the deep state didn't do, because guess what? They love left wing terrorism and they love the fact that left wing terrorism is escalate going up the escalatory ladder of violence. My strong recommendation, the president states afternoon, Pritzker said come and get me. That's an invite, Mr. President. I would put Pam Bondi on it this afternoon, Kristi Noem on it this afternoon, Tom Holman on it this afternoon, maybe Stephen Miller, too. An incredible roundtable. We're going to break all that down. Mike Davis is going to join us about what Halligan did today, which is bring these charges against Comey and really, how do I say this? Begin the long journey that we are going to take together to take down the deep state brick by brick. Short commercial break we're going to turn to the War room. Just a moment.
Donald Trump
I got American Bab.
Steve Bannon
In America's heart, let me be blunt. Gold is up around 40% this year. That's not speculation, that is reality. And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you're missing the boat. Here's the facts. Inflation is still too high. The US Dollar is still too weak. The government debt is insurmountable. This is why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving prices up to record highs. But it's not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group and get in the door now. Birchgold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA. In gold, you don't pay a dime out of pocket. Just text Bannon B A N N o n to 989-898 and claim your free info kit.

Two and a half centuries of honor, courage and commitment. This Saturday, Real America's Voice presents America's Marine 250 uncommon valor. A 250th anniversary salute. From the founding at Tun Tavern to today's Marines defending freedom worldwide witness a historic tribute to their service and sacrifice. Coverage begins at 5pm Eastern, hosted by Steve Bannon. Benny Harmony, Brian Glenn and Jack Posobic join us for this once in a generation salute only on Real America's Voice. Okay, put it into your. Put it in your calendar right now. This this Saturday from 5pm Eastern Daylight Time to 8pm we'll be hosting Real America's Voice in the war room. A another special. This is Marine Corps 250, the first of two parts. The second part will be on the 18th of the following Saturday, but you don't want to miss either one. It'll be just absolutely amazing. The Marine Corps 250. The same people that put on Navy 250 are working on this right now. It's going to be extraordinary. More about that tomorrow morning. I want to go now to Mike Davis. First of all, historic day starts with the first real director. We had an acting director during Watergate that was indicted. Those charges were dropped. This is the first real full time director of the FBI indicted on two felony charges in federal court in Northern Virginia. Mike Davis. This begins a journey. Halligan is at the tip of the spear on this. This begins a journey that's going to be long and tough. A trial date, a preliminary trial date's been set for the 5th of January of 2026. Walk us through the historical nature of this day in regards to the taking down of the deep state. Sir?
Mike Davis
Yeah, I've come on your show quite a bit, Steven. We've talked about this lawfare against President Trump, his top aides like you and Peter, Peter and Peter Navarro and Jeff Clark, his supporters on January 6th, parents, Christians. I've come on and I've praised President Trump's legal team. Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche Cash Patel, Dan Bongino, Harmeet Dillon, Judge Jeanine Pirro, Jason Redding, Kenone. Down in Florida there are so many good people and I'm leaving out people, of course. There's, you know, also on the Homeland Security side, one person we don't talk about enough is Lindsey Halligan. Lindsey Halligan is a the new star in the Trump administration. She is a warrior. She is the new U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, which is the D.C. suburb. Right. So she has the Pentagon, she has the CIA, she has Alexandria, Arlington and quite a bit of the rest of the Eastern AFL or the Eastern quarter of of Virginia. It's a really important district and she got put into this district. I served there for six months as a new prosecutor, especially assistant U.S. attorney almost 20 years ago where I got trained to be a lawyer before I went off and clerked for then Judge Gorsuch and lived in Colorado as a private litigator for a decade before coming back to D.C. with Gorsuch. Lindsey is in the belly of the beast out there, Judge Jeanine as well in D.C. but Lindsey's really out there in the belly of the beast in the Eastern District of Virginia. That's where these assistant U.S. attorneys, these prosecutors, these agents, these are the protectors of the deep state.
Brian Glenn
Right.
Mike Davis
And she is fighting this every day. They were coming up on a five year statute of limitations if they didn't charge Comey with perjury. It wasn't going to happen. So they sent Lindsey out there to do this and she goes in there, they don't even tell her where the bathroom is. They barely show her how to turn on her computer. And she pretty much single handedly put together this grand jury indictment and got True bills on two key federal charges in the Eastern District of Virginia, which is really pulling the rabbit out of the hat. She got false statements under 18 USC 1,100 and an obstruction of a congressional investigation. And she did this with a very hostile grand jury.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
Right.
Mike Davis
The grand jury rejected the perjury charge, according to reporting. But Lindsey is a warrior for the Constitution. She has been in the trenches for many years with President Trump on this unprecedented Republican welfare against President Trump. So is Todd Blanche and Amo Bovey and Boris Epstein and, you know, Pam Bondi going back to the impeachment days. Judge Jeanine. So many good people who have been involved on this, but Lindsey's kind of the unsung hero of what's going on right now. Cash Patel is part of that as well. And Dan Bongino. So many good people in the Trump administration. We have a lot of strong personalities, a lot of people who really care about their country and the Trump administration and the White House counsel's office, Dave Warrington, Suzy Wiles throughout the administration, these are big personalities doing really important work every day.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
Right.
Mike Davis
And so I think it's critically important that we praise Lindsey for what she did today. And, you know, there is an issue about whether they should have done the perp walk. Now, I've talked to people who are very familiar with the thinking inside of the book, and I'll tell you what I think it came down to. And I, you know, I, I know we had strong feelings this morning, but here's the issue. You have a Democrat judge, and you have a Democrat jury pool out there. They barely got this indictment done under 1001, obstruction of a congressional investigation. They do not want to give this judge any reason to throw out this case against Comey for malicious prosecution or for any other reason. So I think that's why you saw the restraint today. I know that, you know, you and I and Peter and many others want to, you know, drag him through the streets, as I said, after the election. But I think, on balance, this may have been the right move.
Steve Bannon
Here's. I can tell you the way the media played it, too, also. And I heard, you know, I've talked to a lot of people since then also, and they're saying, hey, look, they made you and Navarro kind of folk heroes by doing this. And you guys were standing from the microphone, and all of a sudden you got people to your side. The president, they do it. And when they did it to President Trump and he had the mug shot taken, it went next level. They think that that is what actually eventually turn the tide of the American people backing President Trump 100%. You're sitting in the, in the heart of the most left wing, you know, except for D.C. probably in the most left wing jury pool you could get, maybe except for lower Manhattan. And they understand that this judge and everybody around that courthouse is going to be looking to see if we singled out Tron Comey. I just want to take a second though, because you talked about earlier today in Fort Pierce about how you have to compose this grand jury and here it may not even be to January with, with an individual, you know, that's 100% focus on this, talk to that. In relation to, I think Halligan had a week, she basically stepped in on an interim basis with I think six days to go and a hostile grand jury. I mean, how did, how did she even get any charges brought at all?
Mike Davis
She's a, she's a fierce, effective lawyer, right. And she's, she's proven that over the last many years. She, you know, she went into the trenches to def President Trump against the lawfare. She was in the White House staff Secretary's office. Now you know what that means, Steve. But for the war Room Posse, that is a crucial office. Will Scharf is the White House Staff Secretary and it's that person's job to control the paper flow, the policy recommendations, the inbox and the outbox to the President of the United States, just as Brett Kavanaugh was the White House Staff Secretary for President George W. Bush. It's a hugely important office where you need really smart lawyers who get the politics, get the policy. And Lindsey is what was one of the top deputies to Will Sharp in the White House Staff Secretary's office before she got deployed to the Eastern District of Virginia. Lindsey is, she's a young, I think she's like 36 years old. She's a hell of a lot more accomplished than I AM now, even 12 years older than that. And she's a fierce warrior and she's dogged and she's determined and she beat the Deep State to get this indictment that is a monumental task to go into the Eastern District of Virginia, yet zero help from the 300 federal prosecutors in that building. She had to recruit two prosecutors from North Carolina to help her. And she single handedly got this done over fierce objection from the Deep State partisans on both side of the aisle, the Marxist lawyers that Obama and Biden shoved in there, along with the weak wimps that have been in that office, who the Marxists allowed to stay from The George W. Bush era. So hats off to Lindsey Halligan.
Steve Bannon
She.
Mike Davis
She really delivered for justice today.
Steve Bannon
I know you got to bounce. You're up on Capitol Hill. One last thing. The MSNBC and this whole crowd today. CNN made a big deal about, by the way they talked about. Comey brought his family. I don't know why they were broken. His wife was, was crying, weeping the entire time. But they made a big deal about what his lawyer put forward. They want an automatic dismissal of this on grounds that it's malicious prosecution. Your thoughts on that? We got about a minute. Mike, your thoughts on that?
Mike Davis
Well, I mean, maybe that's why Lindsey's decision not to do the perp walk was actually very smart because that takes away that argument that this wasn't a media circus. This was done very gently for James Comey, a lot less gently than the Biden regime did. Some people like you, Steve and Peter Navarro and Jeff Clark and others. While we may not have gotten our vindictive moment today, I think Lindsey probably had the smarter hands. So. And remember also, the grand jury showed discerning judgment here. The grand jury didn't indict for perjury and indicted on false statements. And apparently so I don't think there's a vindictive prosecution argument that's going to win.
Steve Bannon
Mike, Article three, where do people go right now? We need fixed bayonets on this vertical.

Cash Patel
The American people gave you a sweeping mandate in your victory in this election cycle. And they demanded safety and security for our citizens, citizens. And your administration with your leadership has provided us with the resources that we need, which is a whole of government approach to go after criminals absolutely everywhere, not just outside of this country, but within this country. And that takes a whole of government approach. The interagency seated up here with the Department of Homeland Security, our Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General and your White House staffers and including Stephen Miller's leadership has allowed us to go out there and map out the these networks. What we are doing at the FBI is simple. It does not require rocket science. We are following the money. Money never lies. And that's what it's going to take to bring down this network of organized criminal thugs, gang bangers and yes domestic terrorists. Because that's what they are. They are harming everyday citizens in every single one of our communities. And the folks you see here on the right and left, they're some of the bravest men and women with we have today. They're reporting the stories live time because the mainstream media won't cover it. They're putting their lives on the line. They're standing up for the flag. The least we can do is stand up for them. So you have my thanks. I read more of your stories than I do theirs because you guys are putting out the truth and we deserve a country where you are protected as equally as they are. We in this FBI will go after with the criminals with a vengeance. We will not rest until we find every single seed money donor organization and funding mechanism that we have. And I want to echo the Secretary's comments on Scott Bessant who's allowing us to map out these networks through their financial criminal activities, which has been going on for decades.
Steve Bannon
A very proud day for the war room as two of our contributors, Cash Patel, now the director of the FBI, and Scott Besant, the Secretary of Treasury. Cash right there. And I think there's some sphincter muscles that are tightening in the source world because right there they're saying they're going to, they're tracking down the money, who's actually financing this and who's paying for it. Brian Glenn, extraordinary day. You were both at the federal courthouse when Comey slipped in through the back door. And you were also, you're also at this, quite frankly, historic roundtable with Antifa. And I got to tell you, Brian, I'm so proud of not simply Real America's Voice, but all the different podcasters and news services because the mainstream media, President Trump went off of them. But the problem is they never stick to the topic. They want to ask snarky questions to try to capture, you know, catch President Trump in something. They got all these experts. Antifa's huge. You're about to put in the Insurrection act of 1807. It's a huge issue. He spends hours of his day, he's got all these cabinet officials and law enforcement officials. They got to sit there and ask the snark. And he's finally had enough of it. Every podcaster, every. The Breitbart, the people like at Breitbart, the people at Real America's Voice, not just asking great questions, also providing interesting information, as the senior executives up there said. Brian Glenn, the floor is yours, sir.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, thank you, Steve. And one thing I noticed in there is President Trump.
Steve Bannon
We just lost Brian Glenn. Let's go ahead. Let's go and try to reboot right there on the, at the White House. Brian Glenn is live. You saw President Trump, he took on, boy, I didn't wouldn't want to be that reporter at cnn. He took on CNN throughout the, throughout the press avail. This is also something to remember, too. This is why we, why we cover so much of it, right? We go live to it so much in history. You remember FDR's fireside chats? Well, if you go back and look, there really weren't that many fireside chats. But it was so extraordinary in the new communication of radio to actually do this and really have the nation hear the president's voice and hear it in kind of a not formal speech, because things are a lot more formal than particularly in rhetoric here. President Trump is redefining communications and he's. I'm Going to give you a fancy Harvard Business School world. Disintermediation. He is disintermediating the mainstream media. And by that I mean, you know, corporate media, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times. He's disintermediating the cable networks, including even Fox and of course, broadcast television, where we used to get all our information from. And he's opening up every time he has something like this, a bilatine or one of these signing of executive orders or particularly today, a roundtable, he brings the cameras in. You can see it unexpurgated, right? The camera's right there. You get all the feeds. And then he's taking questions and he's taken every question. You know, Kaitlan Collins, who's no Trump fan, was saying on this podcast, she's never seen anything like it. She said, look, Obama never took questions. He would never take the questions that were shouted to him, much less do some of this. Why Biden and Obama and Bush, they didn't really know the material. They're kind of politicians that are kind of like, you know, they got the comms directors around them and the press people around them to kind of have, you got to say this, you can't say that Trump doesn't give two Fs. It's Trump, he's going to give it to you. And that's why these things are so extraordinary. And you're getting a better sense of how you're actually governing and how President Trump is thinking through some of this stuff in real time. Brian Glenn, we just dropped you. The floor is yours, sir. Continue on.
Brian Glenn
There you go. Thank you. Well, what I was pointing out is President Trump wants to know where this money's coming from and asked several of the individuals there on the panel, like, give us names, let us dig into it, because if we cut the head off a snake, we can basically cut off all of our funding, all of the resources, because as we know, they are very, very organized. And many people on the panel gave specific examples of having these, you know, certain houses in different cities where they keep supplies. They can all gather. So it was just an amazing. It's great to see our own Jack Posobic, Savannah Hernandez, Nick Sorter and many more on that panel. And I just love the fact that the president, Pam Bondi, Krissy Noem took this very seriously. They want to address this problem. And, you know, I didn't know that, you know, Jack had said that this had even dated back 100 years. This organization has just evolved and now to become one of the most, I would say international terrorist organizations that we have. But it was a very historic day here. And if we really compare to what happened this morning, Comey, the FBI, they refused to address this topic. President Trump is taking it directly head on.
Steve Bannon
Yes, you know, this was the really the Marxist in particular Italy and France and some Germany to go after those movements. But it's metastasized since then. And President Trump did say when the question was up to him that he's going to look at designated an international terrorist organization. Brian, before we let you go, the president dropped a bombshell about actually going to the Middle east and maybe going to Gaza. And then Secretary Rubio slipped in a note and saying we're very close to a deal. Can you get us up to date on what's happening there?
Brian Glenn
That was amazing moment with seeing Rubio come in, write something down, hand it to the president. It was all pretty much unwinding in front of us live. The very latest that I've got from one of the press photographers here, they said, well I guess you're going to go into the Middle east this weekend. And so I don't know the exact terms on it or what day he's leaving and what day he's coming back or even specifically what country he's going to. But the deal is close. That close where President Trump is headed there this weekend. I'll try to get some details as soon as we jump off the air. I'll go up back and lower press but you can see some of the some of the great podcasters and influencers that have been covering all of this is behind us. Just a great historic day and I'm very proud once again, Real America's Voice has been on the front lines of all of this from day one. Some of the most bravest Ben Burkham, our own Ben Burkhom's been doing of course Jack Bosobik's been doing it. Very proud of these guys. Very proud of you as well, Steve, as we have been really you've been the tip of the sword in all of this. So hats off to Parker and Rob Sig for putting this all together and allowing us to do it.
Steve Bannon
The media just extraordinary. The new media really drove this particularly about this antifa in the terrorist organization and the escalating violence. Bryant, social media, what are your coordinates? We'll let you go back to over to lower press. Go to work. Going to and we're find out more about the Sunday trip to the Middle East.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, you can find me @brianglenntv on Instagram, Twitter, Ryan on Truth Social. I'm going to walk down there right now and find out what's going on this weekend. Until then, Steve, I'll throw it back to you as we are here at the White House on this very historic day. Steve, we'll see you.
Steve Bannon
Thank you, Brian. I think every day now at the White House is like a historic day. Think about, think about. Of course Trump's not going to take a day off. He's going to go to, oh, he's going to go to the Middle east on, on Sunday. And I got to tell you, if they don't award the president United States the Nobel Peace Prize. Was it Friday morning? I think Friday morning. The whole, that whole thing's a joke. I mean, he's close to a deal in the Middle east to end this horrific war that came after the horrific attack by the Muslim Brotherhood franchisee Hamas on the worst day of slaughter for the Jewish people in the state of Israel since the Holocaust. I want to bring in Dr. Bradley Thayer. Dr. Bradley Thayer, behind the scenes is also one of the drivers of everything we're working on regarding Antifa. You're kind of an expert, Dr. Thayer. You saw the roundtable today give the audience the assessment, kind of the precis of what went down today, sir.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
Yes, Steve, it was really important today what President Trump did as long as with the cabinet secretaries in Kash Patel and the journalists there who were offering evidence which was again, critically important. President Trump was getting out the accounts, the evidence about what Antifa has been doing. So you heard, as Brian Glenn mentioned as well, you heard in the cold open too, cash say, to follow the money. The donors really are the nervous system of the body of what we're dealing with here. The brain is going to be revealed, right, who's actually controlling it. But Antifa is the muscle, right? The most overt element really of this organization, this organism that we're dealing with. You heard several people mention that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Besant is making great progress in revealing how that money is conveyed, how it's generated, how it's raised, how it's disseminated. Thirdly, as Brian Glenn mentioned, importantly, one of the journalists talked about a safe house in Portland, very close to the ICE facility. So that journalist also mentioned that the same people appear, the same supplies in some, that this is a well organized, interstate, coordinated machine, really, that's operating here. You also heard that the Tides foundation act blue, other donors were mentioned as well as some journalists. The media as well. And then you heard Jack Posobec talk about the necessity of declaring ANTIFA a foreign terrorist organization. Right. As Jack said, that there are ties to Europe and the Middle east and that Secretary Rubio is going to act or likely will ask on that. And then finally, ultimately, you heard President Trump ask for names. So what happened today? A lot of evidence was revealed, a lot of documentation, a lot of really the accounts of what ANTIFA has been doing and how these journalists have suffered. Right. Having been imprisoned, having been physically beaten up again by this terrorist organization that we've allowed to operate in American cities to conduct this terrorist organization and this insurrection against the government year after year. And that has to stop. And President Trump and that. So antifa's the.

Hang on one second. I'm gonna hold you. I'm. Hang on, I'm gonna hold you. I'm gonna hold you through the break. And I want to get into the second. Dr. Thayer originally came on here for the great Andy Marshall. He wrote an amazing book about the Chinese Communist Party in China. The way I was introduced was through Andy Marshall and the. But his expertise is really understanding Marxist revolutionary thought theory. And I tell people the economics of communism didn't work. But the Marxist, the atheistic, take no prisoners. Marxism is infested in this country. This is what we're fighting in New York City in this election. So this is what ANTIFA is about. This is. You've seen the escalating violence. It's part of Marxist theory of how they bring down a culture and bring down a society. Okay, take a short commercial break. Go. I might add, was it $4,060 today? Have you done your homework?

This morning they did a summary of the forces driving gold. It's kind of like, I'm not saying lifted from the war room script, but you can tell they're watching. It's about de dollarization. It's about central banks buying gold. There's something that's fundamentally shifted in particularly major financial institutions around the world, money center banks and central banks about looking at gold not as a relic of the past anymore, but a major asset, particularly with rising debt and deficits against fiat currency like the euro. The French government we're actually following closely, maybe the fall of the Fourth Republic or the Fifth Republic before our eyes. Not just the parliamentary system over there, but Macron's entire government. Why debt and deficits, the end of the dollar empire. We focus on the dollar as a prime reserve currency and how that plays off against gold throughout history. You have to understand this, understand that you're going to have a pretty good understanding of capital markets and you can learn it even if you don't have a high school degree, you can learn it.

You get a month free. Dr. Thayer, we got a bounce. Got a couple minutes. But back to your. You have followed these revolutionary movements and particularly Marxism. And folks, just because the fall of the Berlin Wall, the cancer that is Marxism was not killed, okay? It's thriving today. This is part of what we're fighting. I don't call it communism because I think that takes into account more the economics, but it's definitely Marxism and it's on the ballot in New York and it's going to win by 20 plus points on, I think, November 4th to take over the financial capital of the world with Zorhan. Your thoughts, sir? As you saw today, Antifa, the first roundtable and the president sharing it. We got a couple minutes. Dr. Thayer, the floor is yours.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
Sure. Yeah.
Reporter / Journalist
Steve.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
This dates back to the Bolshevik Revolution in 1970, when Lenin and his allies seized power, of course, in Russia. One of the things that the Bolsheviks wanted to do was to spread that revolution globally, to do that effectively in an organized way. They created something called the Communist International or the Comintern. And the job of the Comintern, through the Executive Committee of the Communist International, was to look at every state to find out how to advance a communist revolution in every state. And that included China or British India, as well as Britain, Germany, France, the United States as well. And what they recognized was there were going to be certain efforts that they needed to undertake in political warfare to advance a communist revolution in each of those states. That was going to require seizing control of the media, seizing control of businesses, of political parties working through the Communist Party, but also other parties. They also recognized they needed muscle, that is, they needed to own the streets. If they're going to bring about a revolution, they've got to actually physically dominate the public environment, the public sphere, the streets of, of countries. And to do that, they created and implemented Red Guards, as they called it at the time. Well, Antifa basically is just a modern form of Red Guards, right? They're the muscle to bring about this revolution. They're funded. Right. Again, they're connected. There's a nervous system, there's a brain behind this. There's a skeletal system. And what President Trump.
Steve Bannon
Hey, we gotta, yeah, we gotta bounce. But I wanna, I'm gonna. Because I'm gonna have you back tomorrow. It's a skeletal system. And President Trump laid out kind of, hey, how we're going about it. You got the first layer of the street thugs. That's what you see every night in Portland. Then you get the second layer, and this is where it gets scary, of people inside the apparatus that trained them. Special forces and yes, military personnel. They've infiltrated the. They have infiltrated the military. This is who the Antifa guys tell you this, who trains them. Then you have the organizational, the politicians, the media and the money. The third layer, we're going to get to all that. The Red Guard and kind of they are the muscle, the street muscle, like the brown shirts. And this is what President Trump's going to take down. Not just the brown shirts, but as Cash Patel said, they're already deep into looking at the money. Dr. Thayer, you first of all, you had an amazing book. You've got a couple amazing books out on the Chinese Communist Party. Where do people go for your writings, where they go for your columns, where they go for your social media media.
Dr. Bradley Thayer
Steve, Brad Tharrett X or Bradley Tharron. Get her. And the truth. And so President Trump, by calling attention to this, making it overt and changing the framing of the issue, right? This is a problem. We're going to solve it. President Trump is going to solve it. It's so important to do so.
Steve Bannon
Wow, wow, wow. Define the problem and then get the solution and be a Jackhammer. Thank you, Dr. Bradley Thayer. Dr. Thayer is working, as many people are, as one of the leaders behind the scenes and working through this whole thing, being an expert. He's right. Antifa is nothing but the Red Guard. And we're going to give him a struggle session. How does that sound? Stick around. You're in the late afternoon, early evening edition of the war room. The 6 o' clock hour is about to arrive.

Date: October 8, 2025
Host: Steve Bannon
Special Focus: The indictment and arraignment of former FBI Director James Comey; the Trump administration’s tools and strategies for combatting Antifa and left-wing extremism.
This episode of War Room centers on two historic and related stories: the arraignment of former FBI Director James Comey on felony charges, and President Trump’s high-profile roundtable on the threat of Antifa and methods for dismantling left-wing domestic terror networks. The episode weaves together real-time insights from White House press events, legal expert commentary, and panel discussions with Trump officials, journalists, and analysts. The tone is urgent, combative, and unapologetically populist.
Topic: Journalists press Trump and his administration on specific leftist organizations and alleged left-wing infiltration of right-wing events.
Highlights:
Cash Patel (FBI Director):
Steve Bannon Commentary:
Dr. Bradley Thayer (Expert Analysis):
Topic: James Comey’s arraignment on charges of lying to Congress and obstruction of a congressional investigation.
Reporter’s Account:
Mike Davis (Legal Analyst):
Bannon’s Framing:
Steve Bannon on Alternative Media:
Trump’s Approach:
Trump on Antifa’s January 6 presence:
“I've heard that they dress up like, you know, they're fresh out of MAGA, but they have nothing to do with MAGA and they make trouble and they try and blame it… we've seen it.” (01:44)
Reporter:
“It felt like living in the Upside Down. To see Jim Comey go from being a leading figure in United States federal law enforcement to being a criminal defendant…” (07:29)
Steve Bannon:
“This begins a journey that's going to be long and tough…to take down the deep state brick by brick.” (14:52)
“President Trump is redefining communications... He is disintermediating the mainstream media.” (32:39)
Cash Patel:
“We are following the money. Money never lies. And that's what it's going to take to bring down this network of organized criminal thugs, gang bangers and yes domestic terrorists.” (29:55)
Brian Glenn:
“President Trump wants to know where this money's coming from… if we cut the head off a snake, we can basically cut off all of our funding, all of the resources, because as we know, they are very, very organized.” (34:54)
Dr. Thayer:
“The donors are the nervous system... Antifa is the muscle... the most overt element really of this organization, this organism that we're dealing with.” (41:10)

This landmark episode underlines the “War Room” ethos—relentless investigation, an adversarial stance toward legacy media and the “deep state,” and an activist approach to national security and law enforcement. The simultaneous pursuit of legal accountability for high-ranking officials like Comey and the aggressive targeting of Antifa’s alleged financial and organizational networks are presented as two halves of a broader battle for the nation’s future.
President Trump’s roundtable signals a new phase in confronting what the administration frames as coordinated left-wing domestic terrorism. As the show closes, the focus turns to global stakes, with Trump preparing to take his fight—and his brand of diplomacy—to a Middle East on the brink of what is teased as a historic deal.
For Listeners Who Missed the Episode:
This installment is a must for understanding the Trump administration’s aggressive stance in both legal and street-level battles with its opponents. It uniquely combines real-time, behind-the-scenes access with high-level legal, political, and historical analysis—all delivered with the show’s trademark urgency and combative flair.
