Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. New Jersey Gubernatorial Race & MAGA Mobilization

Main Points:

• Race Overview: Scott Pressler breaks down the Republican campaign for Jack Ciattarelli in New Jersey, emphasizing its importance and closeness.
• Turnout is Critical: The GOP is focused on boosting turnout, especially among historically low-propensity and early voters.
• Mail-In Ballots & Early Voting: Republicans are currently returning mail-in ballots at higher rates than Democrats, but the campaign is also organizing "in-person early voting rallies" to drive momentum beginning October 25.

Tactics for Victory:

• Targeting low-propensity and "low information" voters—those not typically engaged in politics—by emphasizing the stakes and coordinating community-focused actions.
• Engaging Republican voters in minority-majority counties such as Passaic, demonstrating the potential for political realignment.
• National movement: Lessons from Pennsylvania's shift to a competitive state—"We are 55,000 active voters from flipping the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from blue to red." (Scott Pressler, 13:24)

Notable Quotes:

• Scott Pressler [03:19]: “This race for Jack Ciattarelli running for governor of the Garden State, New Jersey, this is a tied race. Every vote is going to matter.”
• Steve Bannon [05:54]: “One of the conundrums of the MAGA movement… is that low propensity, low information voters… unless Trump’s on the ballot… What tools do you have in the toolbox?”
• Scott Pressler [07:54]: “Trump is on the ballot. If you do not vote, if Republicans stay home in 2025, the people that celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination win.”
• Scott Pressler [10:41]: “If we show huge monumental early in person voting, the low propensity voter is going to get all of this newsfeed… and they’re going to go wow, Republicans in New Jersey are energized.”

2. State-by-State Political Battles

Pennsylvania and Redistricting Wars

• Pennsylvania’s voter registration gap between Democrats and Republicans has narrowed drastically.
• Redistricting is framed as pivotal for Republican chances in national and state elections.
• Grassroots action is encouraged to influence not just high-profile races but crucial state judicial and administrative positions.

Quote:

• Scott Pressler [13:24]: “In 2012 there were 1.2 million more registered Democrats than Republicans. Steve, we are 55,000 active voters from flipping the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from blue to red... If you want Pennsylvania to become the next Ohio… I need you to vote this November, turn over your ballot and vote no to retention to Democrat justices.”

Texas—The Next Battleground

• The myth of Texas as "safely red" is challenged; Tarrant County is highlighted as the largest remaining GOP stronghold, central to Republican national strategy.
• External (foreign/Chinese) influences and well-funded opposition are described as existential threats.

Quote:

• Scott Coburn [25:39]: “We live in Tarrant county… the largest red remaining county in America… If we lose Tarrant County, we lose Texas. And likely… we don't have another Republican president ever.”

---

3. International Escalation: Russia, Ukraine, and US Policy

US Sanctions and Military Aid

• New US sanctions on Russia’s oil sector are announced.
• More consequentially, President Trump is reported to have authorized US intelligence support for Ukrainian strikes (using UK-supplied missiles) inside Russia—specifically the attack on a military plant in Bryansk.

Analysis by Ben Harnwell:

• This marks a significant escalation, described as “crossing the Rubicon,” and provides Russia with a pretext for retaliation.
• The gravity is heightened by the source: reporting draws from the Wall Street Journal but is not yet broadly covered in US media.

Notable Quotes:

• Ben Harnwell [33:35]: “President Trump has authorized the use by Zelensky of long range missiles into Russia… That is something I think a precedent that America will be building on... and it does give, I think, Russia the room should it want to, to respond.”
• Steve Bannon [36:59]: “I just want to make sure we point the audience… this has gone up the Escalatory ladder or as you said, crossed the Rubicon.”

Timestamps:

• [33:35–38:49] International focus—US sanctions, escalation in Ukraine.

---

4. MAGA Movement Media and Organizing

The Role of Influencers

• Jack Posobiec discusses the Atlantic’s description of him as the top MAGA influencer—gives the “number one” mantle to the late Charlie Kirk instead, portraying him as a uniter and martyr.
• The show highlights the power of alternative media and grassroots communication, not only in narrating the conservative movement but also in on-the-ground organizing.

Notable Quotes:

• Steve Bannon [47:04]: “Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk was a uniter… Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr. And I believe Charlie Kirk is by being a Christian martyr, Charlie Kirk is a saint. Yes, we said it.”
• Jack Posobiec [46:42]: “No, I’m not [the most powerful]. I’ll tell you why. Because it’s Charlie Kirk… his message has been shared more times and… will continue to do so.”

Timestamps:

• [46:21–50:27] Discussion of movement media, MAGA influencers.

Transcript

[Steve Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

[Jack Posobiec]

War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Steve Bannon]

It's Thursday the 23rd of October Yerviller 2025 the war in Posse because of your importance in the MAGA movement and being tip of the spear of kind of driving action, this is why we do inundate you with both the geopolitical, the global financial and also, you know, back to Maine and Idaho in investigations like, like, like o' Keefe in the present. I can tell you, I think you're going to see these bilats. I think you're going to see a, a expansion of the bilats to have some of these bilats. We kind of got the formula, you know, where the dignitary shows up, President Trump greets him, goes in for a few minutes privately, then he invites the media and spends some time with them publicly talking about what they're working on and then he takes questions. I think that works perfectly since that format seems to work for our audience and they got a kind of a template. I think you'll see more domestic because I think there's a huge pivot inside as they're trying to get world peace and stop these conflicts to focus at the same time which they're doing on domestic issues, particularly the economy. One of the things politically and MSNBC said this last night in a moment of clarity, that the most important things going on politically right now is the redistricting wars. Right. Of which we're the tip of the spear of. And Degrasse is working on some stuff. We're going to get into details, I think, if not tomorrow and Saturday, the next week. But North Carolina is moving forward, although Idaho's kind of, excuse me, Indiana's kind of. Of hung up on the nine 0s. Looks like 8 to 1. Anyway, there's a massive effort going on behind the scenes and we're going to get everybody up to speed. The other massive effort is a true American hero and patriot, Scott Pressler. Scott Pressler has done the ground game and registrations and trying to get a more level playing field, of course, absolutely critical to the victory in Pennsylvania and his kind of watchword, that the effort is to turn Pennsylvania into the new Ohio and New Jersey into the new Pennsylvania. Okay, so we're down to it. We're now with a couple of weeks to go. It's a dead, essentially the polling shows a little bit of a gap, but I think on the ground there's ground truth maybe that we're a little closer to a, to, to drawing neck and neck and maybe even squeaking out a victory. Scott Presser's here. Scott, you've been, you've been hammering this talk to me. What's going on? What, what's your current assessment? We got a couple of weeks out.

[Scott Pressler]

Thank you, Steve. Well, I want everyone to know that this race for Jack Ciatarelli running for governor of the Garden State, New Jersey, this is a tied race. Every vote is going to matter. Every vote is going to count. And Steve, I want to remind the viewer at home, the listener that will say that New Jersey is too blue to elect a Republican governor.

[Jack Posobiec]

No.

[Scott Pressler]

In 2021, that election was decided by 84,000 votes and 600,000 Republicans stayed home and did not vote. In 2021, we could have stopped Phil Murphy from becoming governor again had Republicans just come out and vote. And I want to also remind the listener that this is a state, New Jersey, that went double digits for Joe Biden in 2020, but went within 5 percentage points of electing Donald Trump. With those electoral points in New Jersey in 2024, we won Passaic County, a state county that hadn't gone for a Republican president since 1988, and that is a majority minority county right now. Republicans are returning mail in ballots at a higher percentage rate than Democrats. And so if you have your mail in ballot, I want you to turn it in immediately. But what we need, Steve, if we are going to be competitive and if we are going to win and push Jack across the finish line, we need high in person early voting, which begins October 25th through November 2nd. October 25th through November 2nd, please vote early in the in person for Jack ciarelli.

[Steve Bannon]

So the 25th is, is Saturday, correct? The early in person voting starts Saturday?

[Scott Pressler]

Yes. And we're beginning rallies. We will be in Paramus and Bergen county, the biggest, most populous county in New Jersey, at 10 o'. Clock. And I have that graphic on my social media. Please join us. We're going to get everybody hyped up, revved up. Jack is going to be there your cand. And then what we're going to do is all of these in person early rallies that we're having. We're then going to march everybody legally and lawfully over to the early in person voting location and vote together as a family.

[Steve Bannon]

So, Scott, one of the conundrums of the MAGA movement and bringing coalitions together, Make America Healthy Again and the parents rights and with maga, the hardcore populist nationalists and back of President Trump, this coalition we haven't solved for, or I should say it differently, you are one of the lead engineers in how to solve for a issue we have. And the issue we have is that low propensity, low information voters and low information has nothing to do with IQ or education level. It's just there's a lot of people out there just not into politics, right? And so they don't follow political news. They follow, you know, sports or, you know, cultural things or some of them just dialed out at all. But unless Trump's on the ballot, 24 is different because Charlie Kirk and Scott Pressler and Cliff Maloney and the precinct strategy people and the war room posse and all that, you guys have apparatuses and we know how to do that. You've perfected that and Charlie Kerse perfected that. So we have that down. Just like in 2020 when they stole it or 2016, we came from behind. But where Trump's not on the ballot like in some of these midterms. And this is why the fight for redistricting was so important. And Alex De Grasse is a hero for getting their seats back pre 22. And this is why the fight for redistricting, the redistricting war now would determine to a large extent the midterms.

[Scott Pressler]

Walk me through.

[Steve Bannon]

What is the best way? What are your tool, what tools you have in the toolbox to go and get the low propensity voter. That is absolutely essential to the MAGA movement and to continual victories when President Trump's not on the ballot? And particularly something like in New Jersey when it's kind of these weird off years where it's just kind of a statewide race. What are the tools in the toolbox that Scott Pressler uses? And how can the war room Posse assist you in this heroic effort, sir?

[Scott Pressler]

Thank you. I want to be clear, Steve. Trump is on the ballot. If you want to have energy going into the midterm elections, in 2026, which is going to determine whether or not President Trump is a two year president versus a four year president. They already stole two years from the president by taking the House in 2018 and then impeaching him. If you don't want that to happen again, we must win this year. Trump is on the ballot in 2025 in Virginia, in Pennsylvania, in New Jersey. And I say this as respectfully and thoughtful, Charlie is on the ballot this November and I want everyone to hear me as clear as day. If you do not vote, if Republicans stay home in 2025, the people that celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination win. If you don't vote, you are allowing the very people that celebrated his assassination to be elevated into positions of power. And do you think that Jay Jones is going to prosecute criminals in the Commonwealth of Virginia? No. Charlie's on the ballot. Trump is on the ballot. Steve, as soon as we helped together as a family deliver the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for Donald J. Trump, we immediately announced that we were going to New Jersey. I've had 14 full time staff on the ground across New Jersey's 21 counties and we are doing a 21 county play. It's not just about Essex and Hudson and Camden, but getting high turnout in places like Salem and Warren and Hunterdon and Ocean, and even continuing to engage with black and brown communities in Passaic county. That gave President Trump within 5 percentage points of winning New Jersey. This is a low propensity game. And I'll tell you, I met a woman, Steve, in Passaic county that registered to vote the day that President Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania. That woman came to an event that I had and she said, scott, after voting for the president for the first time ever, my first vote, I am voting in my first gubernatorial election ever. This is a base turnout election. I am asking every posse member, everyone you know in California, no to Prop 50 in Virginia, win some Sears for governor in New Jersey, Jack Ciatarelli for Pennsylvania, no to retention on those Democrat Supreme Court justices in Georgia. You have a statewide election for Public Service Commission. This is Trump is on the ballot. Republican policies are on the ballot. And I need every single Republican that voted last year to vote this year. And we will win.

[Steve Bannon]

Steve, I know you've got it set up that you can do it remote or calls what the posse right now. If they want to volunteer and assist you, they want to become part of, you're the field, one of the commander. So they want to come in and say, hey, I've got Some time or maybe I actually show up. Where do they go right now to find out how they can fill your ranks?

[Scott Pressler]

Well, a couple things. One, please slide into my DMs on social media. Ottpressler we need eyes and ears. Passaic county already said that it won't have cameras and it won't be making sure that our elections are secure in the very county that voted for Donald Trump. We need poll greeters, we need election day workers, we need eyes and ears to anyone that is willing, that is able come to New Jersey. Come to New Jersey. I will connect you with a member of my team and we'd love to have you. For those of you that are not able to come to New Jersey, please download the Early Vote Action app. This is my application. It's free. You can call voters, you can text voters, you can still write postcards to voters. You probably want to get those in the mail right now when you text. Just hear me out. I'm only asking for 25 texts per person. 25 texts from all of the posse and you will reach every registered Republican in Jersey. Turn off your imessages, make the message your own. Just let them know. 84,000 voters decided the 2021 election and 600,000 Republicans stayed home. 600,000 Republicans stayed home. If we get those voters out, Steve, we win and I will end on this note. Please, I encourage you, I urge you, I plead with you. October 25th. If we show huge monumental early in person voting, the low propensity voter is going to get all of this newsfeed of people talking about it from your show and rumble and get her and X and they're going to go wow, Republicans in New Jersey are energized. Look at the amount of people that turned out on Saturday, October 25th. So please, if you're going to vote early, make it your priority to do big beautiful turnout on October 25th. And I look forward to seeing all of you at in person rallies across New Jersey. I ask for your vote for Jack Ciattarelli to become the next governor. We can win this election. Steve.

[Steve Bannon]

Real quickly Scott, we got a minute. You've made this statement that because of your work and other guys work and the president obviously driving this, that that we've turned Pennsylvania into the new Ohio and that New Jersey is the new Pennsylvania. Give me that, give me a minute on that sir before we leave.

[Scott Pressler]

In 2012 there were 1.2 million more registered Democrats than Republicans. Steve, we are 55,000 active voters from flipping the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from blue to red if you want to see that happen. If you want Pennsylvania to become the next Ohio or Florida, I need you to vote this November, turn over your ballot and vote no to retention to Democrat Justices Doherty, Donahue and Wet. You have the power Pennsylvania, in one election to defeat three Democrat justices that locked you down, that stole your election and that gerrymandered your maps. If you want to forever change the political landscape of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and make it into a red commonwealth, you flip over your ballot and fire your judges this November Tuesday, November 4.

If you've got a story, you're in the chat or get to Grace or Mo, you know, pitch, let us know what's going on. We're trying to cover it all from the global to the local because MAGA is, you know, drives the agenda, drives the messaging. We're going to have Idaho and Maine on tonight. Also, Mike Walsh, I think I got Dr. Bradley Thayer if I can't definitely get Dr. Bradley Thayer with him on what's happening in my beloved Ireland, because a lot going on there tied to, I think you could say immigration there. It's foisted on them by the political class. There's so much going on in Texas. I just got back from there, huge coming out of Texas and this whole question of what exactly is going on with Islam down there. Laura Loomer's also got on her tweet something about in Capitol Hill, I'm going to try to get to Laura right afterwards and Tuberville's involved, etc. But another breaking story right there in this New Jersey is very important because taking control of that state from the governor's mansion is important in 26 and in 28 it would be monumental. The polling's got a little bit of separation, but it's all going to be about turnout. It's a turnout game. That's why Cliff, Maloney, Pressler, all of them, everybody is up there right now and grinding. If you can be of assistance, particularly if you can give of yourself even remotely to do text. I don't know if they're going to set phone banks, but if you can get there in person, get to press or get to Maloney, get to these folks, it's now riot to the sound of the guns on this one because we lost it last time because there was not enough attention paid to it. That won't be the case this time. And remember, the Scott's right. President Trump is on the ballot here. It's vitally important that we win the state, so make sure everybody's on top of it. Texas, Scott Coburn. So, Scott, you know, Glenn's story is the unspoken hero of the situation that took place with the, the most important fight we got right now is the redistricting war. I'm very upset that there was a decision made, I guess, by the Republicans, people putting up the money not to get President Trump engaged in California because California's got more maga, absolute number of MAGA voters than Texas or Florida, just given their, you know, the scale of their population. A decision was made not to, I think, get President Trump involved here. Although Newsom's entire campaign is not about redistricting, it's just about stopping Trump and impeaching Trump. They don't get into the details, whereas the, the right or the Republican Party and people doing it are in some sort of esoteric discussion about, you know, commissions and all that. That doesn't move people. This is like in the Brexit situation where Boris Johnson had the official. He got, you know, because they give money to the official things in these big propositions. He beat Nigel for the official campaign and he, it was a smart campaign. He didn't smart about Brussels. All your sovereignty has been lost and Brussels makes all the laws. But even that, it may be powerful to the Warren Posse, who are involved in this nonstop, but for people that are lower information, it's a littleit's just a tad too esoteric and doesn't really viscerally hit you in the solar plexus. Nigel campaign, which he had to finance himself, was absolutely dead spot on. It just talked about migration and what was happening to British culture and society. What we call what we're being accused of now of cultural nationalism in the United Kingdom and in Ireland. And guess what? They won Brexit. My team was there. We were there. Breitbart, we set up Breitbart London under Raheem Kassam and Rahim actually stepped out and worked on Nigel on the campaign. But Alex Marlowe, the entire team, and Nigel said the day after that if it hadn't been for the establishment of Breitbart London and Breitbart's support, Brexit would have never happened. Because the Daily Telegraph and all these, all these wuss organizations, conservative media were, you know, they're kind of globalist, right? They, they were remain. They weren't, you know, Brexit. What happened down in Texas with Glenn's story and the team on his Political side is monumental. Of course. Lee Wamsgans, who we spent a lot of time with the last couple years now in a, you know, in a tough state senate race and that foreign money is coming to get her. And my warning to Texas, which is the railhead of the MAGA movement, and I can make the argument the most important of all the states, California, Florida and all these great states and powerful states and states are part of the, you know, they stand on their own in the global economy. Texas first among equals, let's say Texas is that important. I can tell you going throughout the world, Texas has got a brand because of the frontier and the pioneers in the Old west and no other nation on earth has that where the little guy actually went out into a wilderness and created something that has been the most powerful entity in mankind's history, that has allowed the little guy to flourish more. No matter how imperfect this is, it's flourished more than anywhere on earth. And if you see the point of contact between civilization and, let's say non civilization or non Western civilizations may be a better way to say it is in Texas and you can go anywhere in the world and people just not know about Texas. They know about the myths and the legends and the, and what happened and who did it, either through movies or books or just, you know, reading. That's how powerful the culture is. This is why they're targeting Texas. Think about it, they're targeting two places right now. New York City, the financial capital of the world. And really, even for those of you who maybe not New York City fans, I'm one, I've lived there on and off for decades. And it's just a magnificent place. It's really a collection of little neighborhoods and villages. It's not this, when you're there and you're living there, it's not this overwhelming entity. Everything's very local, your grocer, the dry cleaners, everything. It's very neighborhood by neighborhood, a collection of neighborhoods. The Marxist jihadists know this and they're going after it. And just to pull out yesterday, you know, the overwhelming majority of foreign born, you know, all these migration laws you've had, all these amnesty laws you've had, all these immigration laws you've had, are turning against the United States, as I've warned, turning against American citizens, many of whose families have been here for decade and decade and decade and decade and decade and still don't own anything with the Marxist jihadists look like they're going to take New York City. For everybody out there wearing a Bow tie says, well, no, they're socialists. They're running money. It doesn't work like that. These are Bolsheviks. These are not. Stop. They're not socialist. It's not some debating society. Well, maybe we should have more government control of this or a little more government control. That's not what this is about. These are hardcore Marxist jihadists and Siddiq Khan is the model. And to talk about, there's a, there's a, you know, there's articles every day about how difficult it is Western civilization to actually thrive or even survive in London. He's turned London into a hellscape. That's what's going to happen in New York City. But at the same time, they are rolling hard for the great state of Texas. This one company down there has just gone out of their way on their, on their public engagement side to help defend that. Now, I tell people on top of that, they happen to be a premium service and run by Americans with the call center staffed by Americans. Scott Coburn joins us. Scott, we don't talk enough about how great Patriot Mobile is as a, as a business entity in the services they deliver. So take it away, sir.

Yeah, Steve, you hit the nail on the head. Like here in Texas, we've absolutely got a battle on our hands. Like we're fighting to keep Texas, Texas, we're very proud of our state. And they're coming at us with guns blazing. You know this. And here's the deal, right? I mean, people that don't live here, they, they have this misconception that Texas is this deep red state and everything's all fine and dandy. Well, let me tell you, we live here and it's not. And we live in Tarrant county, okay? Tarrant county just happens to be the largest red remaining county in America. It's larger than 15 states. If we lose Tarrant county, we lose Texas. And likely we don't have another Republican president ever.

[Steve Bannon]

It's.

[Scott Coburn]

It's a, it would be a disaster. So you mentioned Lee Wansconce. I want to encourage everyone that lives in Tarrant county to get out and vote. We have a special election going on right now. Early voting started on Monday. And Lee's a fighter. Steve, you've known Lee for years now. She's a fighter. She doesn't back down. She speaks truth. She loves the Lord, and she's our candidate. And this is what we need to do. We've got to get people off the couch and out to vote. Because you mentioned there are some candidates that are well funded by Chinese money and other money outside of Texas, and we don't want that. We need to keep this here at home. We need to keep this fight at home and stop the mockery that these Rhino Republicans have made out of our state. And it starts right now. Steve.

[Steve Bannon]

Scott, I'm gonna hold you to the break real quickly. This audience saw this in the redistricting fight. There are eight seats out there that can be fairly redistricted. I mean, if you want to be fair, it's eight seats. Brian Harrison had to come on with the meeting we had at Patriot Mobile on your political side, and we had to go scorched earth to get five. And then the establishment who fought us all the way, trying to take credit with it in the national media. Give me 30 seconds of that before I bolt.

[Mike Lindell]

Steve.

[Scott Coburn]

You know it's a fight, right? And we're in it together. And the events in the last few weeks have only told us one thing. We're just now getting started. We're in the bottom of the first inning.

[Steve Bannon]

What if he had the brightest mind in the War Room delivering critical financial research every month? Steve Bannon here. War Room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man. A former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets, Jim predicted Trump's electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself. Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future.

[Jack Posobiec]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay. Like going with Russia. I'm gonna get to Rome and Ben Harwell in a moment. Scott. The benefits of doing the switch now to Patriot Mobile, sir.

[Scott Coburn]

Well, Steve, I'll start with the technical benefits. Hey, you're going to get coverage on all three of the main networks, right? So you never have to worry about whether or not your phone's going to work. Why settle for one network when you can have all three? Okay, and you talk about the US Based customer support. Hey, I don't know when the last time you tried calling your current cell phone service provider, but I'm sure that didn't work out too well for you. When you call Patriot Mobile, you're going to be talking to somebody in English, maybe a little East Texas hillbilly accent, that might be all you get. But you're going to be talking to somebody in English. And look, here's the big reason, guys. I mean it's this is on all of us, right? We have to do everything we can to save our republic. I don't care if it's where you buy your coffee, who you choose to bank with or even who you choose to be your cell phone service provider. It all matters. Every dollar you spend matters. That's the kind of war that we're in here. So why wouldn't you take 15 minutes, switch your cell phone to Patriot Mobile and know that every time you paid your bill, a part of that bill is going to support companies like tpusa, Folds of Honor and many other organizations that are on the front lines fighting for our freedoms. That's what it's really all about.

[Steve Bannon]

Scott, how do people track you? You guys are putting up great information about Patriot Mobile all the time. Where do people go to find out more? Where they go to talk to one of those folks with a beautiful, soothing East Texas hillbilly accent that are at your call centers.

[Scott Coburn]

It's real easy. It's easy to remember too, Steve. 972 Patriot. That's 972 Patriot. Or you go to patriotmobile.com Bannon and you're going to get a free month of service. When you mentioned you heard about us on Bannon's War Room Posse and that's why we want you, we want every single one of you out there to consider switching to Patriot Mobile. The time is now. It's never been more important to support this country and everything that we got going on simply by switching your cell phone service. Get her done today. Let's go.

[Steve Bannon]

Scott Coburn, thank you so much. Thank the folks.

[Scott Coburn]

Thank you, Steve. God bless you.

[Steve Bannon]

7972. Thank you sir. 972 Patriot stop giving your money to companies that hate you. This layers on top of all three of the major mobile providers. You will love the service, you'll love the deals. 972 Patriot make sure you talk to one of those East Texas folks, as good a folks as anywhere on earth on this planet Earth, the backbone of our nation. Talk to them today to talk to a US citizen and make the switch. Check it out. Patriot Mobile. And I gotta tell you, the work they're doing out of Texas, unbelievable. Texas, we gotta fight. Texas is a, it's a, it's a state that's in play even with all the great patriots down there. It's a battleground state. It's about, even though we won by 14, cruise by 12, they're all over it and some very shady things going on down there that we're getting back on. Making sure you can all of it exposed and the people that are doing it exposed because it's not right for a state that is a state that is a legend. Ben Harnwell from Rome. Ben. So President Trump and he's very upfront yesterday in the bilatin, I think again this morning he's tried to, you know, he says he has conversations with Putin, he thinks things are going in the correct direction, it's just not in Alaska. But he has these phone conversations, things is going the right direction and then nothing happens. Lavrov kind of blew off Marco, Secretary of State Rubio. So we're not going to Hungary to sit down and set things right here with Putin and President Trump in a room with Orban to try to figure this thing out. It's actually heated up much more. We got some pretty serious sanctions. Medved has said, hey, these are acts of war, but you actually think something has happened, transpired over the last 24 hours that's even more serious than that. The floor is yours, Ben Harnwell from Rome.

[Ben Harnwell]

Hey Steve. Well, let's pick up from what you were just saying in your question. The statement from Dmitry Medvedev is that what President Trump, both with the sanctions on the oil, but also the canceling of the, of the, of the bilateral in Hungary, which actually cancelled by Russia, not, not President Trump. He said that there's a declaration of war. Now Medvedev is probably one of the most hard line of the key Russian political players, that is absolutely for sure. And he makes President Putin in, in comparison look quite like a moderate. And he represents that hardline nationalist sentiment politically. But he's incredibly trusted by President Putin. How trusted by President Putin is he? Well, when Putin for constitutional reasons was required to stand down from the presidency a few years ago and assume exactly the same real powers as prime minister, he handed over the notional office of the presidency to Medvedev himself. So he's definitely on the hard right flank and that's what he said. He said that President Trump has departed from his talk about wanting to be a peacekeeper and he's made an open declaration of war and that Russia now has the pretext to respond to that accordingly. I know that the US Press is leading on the sanctions and to some extent on Medvedev's comments. I don't think that's the big issue, Steve. I think the big story really on Ukraine over the last 24 hours is, is the fact that President Trump has authorized the use by Zelensky of long range missiles into Russia. They were used yesterday to attack the military plant in Bryansk. Now Trump has said no, POTUS has said no to supplying the Tomahawks and the actual missiles used on this occasion yesterday were the Shadow Storm missiles provided by the UK but they were, the targeting was provided by US Intelligence and with President Trump's permission. So I think that's the thing that people need to be watching for right now rather than I don't want to dismiss what Medvedev has said as simply being rhetoric because as I say, he's certainly one of President Putin's most trusted political collaborators. But I actually think that the issue here and it's not towards disengagement, Steve, it's not towards de escalation. I actually think that the real attention here ought to be on the fact that President Trump, because this is like a Rubicon that you pass, right? Once you cross this, you've crossed it. President Trump has authorized the use of long distance weapons British made, British provided, but with US Intelligence to attack weapons, munitions, point, as I say, in Bryansk in the last 24 hours. That is something I think a precedent that America will be building on down 1,000% against that. And it does give, I think Russia the room should it want to to respond.

[Steve Bannon]

I just want to make sure we point the audience. Where's this being reported you're pulling this from? You're absolutely correct. I just want to make sure we can get people because in the escalatory ladder President Trump went out of his way last week to tell them no Tomahawks and essential we are not going to give you permission of any long range attacks even with European or other weaponry. And we certainly won't help, you know, coming out of V spot and in other places with target acquisition. That's clearly changed as President Trump's getting frustrated. He's trying to look, he's trying to look for leverage points to get a deal. But you're right, this has gone up the Escalatory ladder or as you said, crossed the Rubicon. Where is this being reported?

[Ben Harnwell]

Well, if Denver would very kindly I sent through just before going on the show that my main source for today's reportage. Thanks very much Denver. This is in the Wall Street Journal which is, which is a credible newspaper. I don't trust everything the Journal says in terms of his interpretation but normally it's pinpoint facts are quite accurate and I make the same point about the New York Times and the Washington Post as well. I trust their fact facts when they report them as facts. Their interpretation often I wouldn't trust with a barge poll. But on this issue, Steve, I trust their interpretation on this story. Denver, thanks very much for putting that up on the screen. As I'm talking that's the source that people might want to look at. But as you say, Steve, the point now you're actually right, this isn't being widely reported. The US Press is focusing really on the sanctions on the oil right now and I think that's, I think that's somewhat the wrong thing to be concentrating on.

[Steve Bannon]

Ben Hartwell in Rome, kind of blockbuster news this morning. Thank you. Where do people go and get your your beady eyed cynicism 24 hours a day?

[Ben Harnwell]

Steve My bead cynicism never switches off. I'm like a reptile. I don't even blink when it comes to my eyes. It's just pure focused, it's pure focus. 100 Autism 100 BD Cynicism 24,7 Folks, if you want this, come on to my social media platform of choice which is Getter. It's the best social media platform out there as far as I'm concerned. No malicious algorithms, divert with diversions. It's just pure content and I'm there. Simply type in my surname and which is Harnwell and I'll probably be updating in the next couple of hours on this story. Thanks very much Steve.

[Mike Lindell]

God bless.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you brother. Ben Harnwell, the Atlantic magazine has a huge story on Jack Posobet. They say he is the most powerful influencers and influencer in all maga. We're trying to get Jack up. Maybe we get him up for the last block or try to get up as soon as possible. Another piece that I need to focus on and if Grace and Mo would be kind enough to go in my getter and maybe my crack production team here. I didn't break it out but it's one of the last pieces I put up. It's from Politico. It talks about really what we addressed yesterday, and that would be what's this guy Isaacman as head of NASA, it's real basic. President Trump announced today, the administration announced today, something I fully support, which is taking stakes in companies where the government is giving tons of contracts. We have 10% of intel. He's talking now about quantum computing, which are these companies are just going to blow up on the stock market because as we told you, quantum computing is when the converging technologies for the singularity and quantum computing is. This is where we may actually be behind the Chinese Communist Party and what they're doing in China. So it's a lot of catch up to do. President Trump's talking about, you know, granting these companies these huge government contracts and for such. He wants, you know, he wants to get his beak wet for the country. The same thing should happen to SpaceX. We have a very dangerous situation with SpaceX. 97%, I think of our launches, our launch capacity is done by SpaceX. You can't concentrate all that power in one person's hands. You remember Elon, when he had the falling out with President Trump a couple months ago, sent a tweet, well, maybe we just delay launch or something like that. And that was, it was an 11 year old boy throwing his toys out of the pram. But that's elon, he's an 11 year old boy and he's going to throw his toys out of the pram on occasion. You can't be hostage to that. There's two ways to do that. Number one, you have to spread out the contracts. It just makes sense. You have to let some of these other competitors get some of the contracts. Obviously got to be competitive and be able to perform it. Number two, you can't put his bestie, you can't put his buddy in NASA who deals out the contracts. Isaacman is a left wing, progressive, radical Democrat, full stop. All these oligarchs are all Democrats. They're all progressives. They hate the culture that you're fighting to save and they detest it. Right? They're all transhumanists. They all want to live forever. They all, they don't care about the basic underlying principles of the Judeo Christian West. They just don't. They came on board for one reason, because Trump won. Isaac Min was a Kamala Harris and a big Democrat. And the only reason he's groveling around the White House is that we're in power full stop. And as soon as President Trump's defeated or Mag is defeated, they'll be back over There, where their natural home is. And that's why the guy should not get a senior position in the administration. Anybody in the administration pushing that against Sean Duffy's heroic fight is going to be outed, and I'm going to out him, okay? We're tired of this crap, and that's what it is. Last but not least, President Trump's master dealmaker. I know he's thinking about this. 50% of SpaceX. 50%. You need more. We need to do more than wet the beak. We need to get a piece of the action. Short break. Back in the worm in a moment. You know, I didn't know this until the the guys at Field of Greens, the doctors and the experts told me about it and then gave me information. It was fascinating. We have two ages, our actual age and our body's internal biological age. Additionally, what I didn't know is I've likely lowered my biological age without even knowing it. Here's the thing. Because Americans eat so many processed and ultra processed foods and not enough fruits and vegetables, many, perhaps most, are 10 years older on the inside than their actual, their actual age. They're ticking time bombs. A major university study suggests how to slow aging and diffuse that biological time bomb. Participants slowed their aging by drinking Field of Greens. That's all. They didn't change their eating, drinking or exercise, just Field of Greens. I feel great knowing Field of Greens can slow how quickly I'm aging. And I encourage you to join me. Swap your untested fruit, vegetable or green drink for Field of Greens while there's time. Check out the university study.

War Room.

[Jack Posobiec]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, day day at 3 o' clock in real. America's voice will cover it all live. President Trump in the state dining room is going to have the White House press pool open for the entire time. You're going to have announcements on drug cartels, human trafficking, Stephen Miller, Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Blanche, Secretary of War Hegseth Director of the FBI Patel and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. That is what we refer to as the starting team. Don't miss. It's going to start 3 o'. Clock. Knowing the White House may start a few minutes later. We'll cover it wall to wall. Then it's back at. It's in the 6 o' clock hour tonight I'm gonna have Dave Bossi on his theory. There's absolutely nothing to give on the shutdown. Let's just keep rolling, which I agree with 1000%. We're gonna go to Idaho, Maine, all of it to cover breaking news there particular situation in idah about cutteries in the base and all that. We're gonna find out what folks out in Idaho think about that. Jack Bosobic, by the way. So Charlie Kirk at new the Charlie Kirk show at noon, poso at 2, gruber at 3, which you may or may just cut to the White house bowling at 4. Back to the war room. 5pm Eastern Daylight Time. Jack Posobic, the Atlantic magazine, which is no fan of Jack Posobics, it's got a lead story that Jack Bosobic, if we can put that up on the screen. Jack Posobic is the most powerful and important of the MAGA influencers. What say you, sir?

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, Steve, I didn't write this article, I didn't write this headline, you know, I. Look, look, the Atlantic magazine, they've.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, okay, okay, hang on, hang on, hang on.

[Jack Posobiec]

I would argue.

[Steve Bannon]

Hold a hand. Quit stumbling around. Did I train you better? Is it true or not? Are you the most powerful of the MAGA influencers, sir?

[Jack Posobiec]

No, I'm not. I'm not. I'll tell you why. Because it's Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk is the number one MAGA influencer and he still is. Because Charlie Kirk's videos, Charlie Kirk's words and Charlie Kirk's message has been shared more times and I'm talking frequency and velocity over the past six weeks than they ever have before and will continue to do so.

[Steve Bannon]

Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk was a uniter. Charlie Kirk did something and that's why they assassinated him. Charlie Kirk was the cutting edge of the future of obviously the present. But Charlie Kirk was showing you the nation. We could have by reason, debate and humility and live Christianity. That's why Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr. And I believe Charlie Kirk is by being a Christian martyr, Charlie Kirk is a saint. Yes, we said it. Jack Posobec, you're different. You're never. Look, I said When Andrew Breitbart died. You cannot replace Andrew Breitbart. You're never gonna be able to replace Charlie Kirk. Just can't happen. A guy like that comes along once a generation maybe, and there are many generations, nobody like Breitbart or Kirk come along. And of course, in our nation's history, Trump comes along once in a country's history. That being said, why did they single you out? Because the Atlantic normally hates you. All your work with Antifa, everything in the. All the danger you've put yourself in. Why would. Why would Atlantic, who really detests the very person of Jack Bosobic, do this article or actually even think of this, Sir?

[Jack Posobiec]

Well, Steve, was I doing action with Antifa or was I goofing off? Because I saw a quote from Stephen K. Bannon that said Posovic was goofing off in 2020 when I. And by the way, I remember what that was. They said Bannon chewed him out. I said, yeah, I remember. That was the day. The day after we square off with Antifa at Lincoln park up there on Capitol Hill. I get. There was two people, you know, everybody asked if I was okay, except for two people. One of them was Tanya Tay, because she was losing her mind on me. And the other one was Stephen K. Bannon, who said. Who was like, paso, what are you doing?

[Steve Bannon]

No, but Tanya Tay's right. She, by the way, noted self. You should. I've told you this lesson. Tanya Tate, she was pregnant.

[Jack Posobiec]

She was pregnant at the time with. With our second son.

[Mike Lindell]

And.

[Jack Posobiec]

And I came home and said I wasn't. They said, were you worried? I was like, I wasn't worried about Antifa. I was worried about the pregnant Belarusian at home that I had to deal with. So I stopped. This is what my move was that day. I remember it very vividly. I call her up. I say. I say, sweetheart, I'll be home as soon as I'm done filling out the police report. And then. Which is always a good way to start a conversation. And then before I made it home, though, what I did is I stopped off the highway and I picked up. I picked up flowers and I picked up chocolate. And then when I come in the house, I'm. I'm holding that like a. Like a shield and a sword, you know, to ward her off. And, fellas, she totally worked. It totally worked.

[Steve Bannon]

I got to check with her. I'm not buying that. Okay, I gotta. We gotta bounce. We gotta sell some pillows here. I gotta spend some more time with you because the left's losing. The mainstream media is losing their mind about President Trump's crackdown on antifa. And actually rolling this thing up and getting to our report from Maine is how this guy running for the Senate is actually tuned.

[Jack Posobiec]

Just stay tuned. In two cells, Seattle and Oakland, we've got that full report. By the way, I'm going to be co hosting today with Andrew Colvette on the Charlie Kirk show. So I'll be up. I'll be up talking about that story and many more.

[Steve Bannon]

We'll toss it to you in a few minutes. Jack Bosovich going to be with Andrew riding shotgun.

[Jack Posobiec]
