Loading summary
Steve Bannon
The last presidential election. President Trump and many of his closest allies still are not over his loss in 2020 and they continue to peddle lies about a stolen election. The New York Times reports Trump has empowered election deniers by placing them in high level official administration jobs. The nightcap is still here. What could the midterms look like with actual election deniers in serious jobs? So I mean going to the way the administration staffed up during the trans, even if you want to go back before that. So who ended up on the Trump campaign? Who got the plush jobs with the.
Dave Brett
PACs in this case, being pro January.
Steve Bannon
6Th and the election denier helps you.
Jeannie Seaver
On the resume doesn't hurt you.
Steve Bannon
And that's what they are selecting for and filtering against when they have all these personnel fights. So look, I think that this is the key thing to understanding who survived with Trump. But also if you look at who gained power between 2021 and like 2023, it's the folks who are the most willing to on the chin when it was the least popular. Okay, but Fox and other outlets were sued for spreading falsehoods about voting machines ringing ballots in 2020. They had to pay an enormous amount of money. New reporting tonight on how Donald Trump and his enablers are hijacking the machinery of democracy to enact his retribution campaign. Reuters has uncovered a wide ranging group of Trump lackeys whose main purpose is to weed out the mythical deep state from within the federal government. It would be laughable if it were not true that this was actually happening. This so called weaponization working group includes resources from the White House and at least eight other agencies, including the irs, CIA and the Defense Department. And as former and current officials face increasing danger from the president and his administration, his outspoken critics are starting to wonder, will I be next? This letter from Jack Smith that jumped out at me. But specifically this piece about the secrecy of grand jury materials. His lawyers write. Smith is prepared to answer questions about the special counsel's investigation and prosecution, but requires assurance from the Department of Justice that he will not be punished for doing so. To that end, Mr. Smith needs guidance from the Department of Justice regarding federal grand jury secrecy requirements. Talk to me about the criminal exposure, the danger for a prosecutor in not having that be clarified. Yeah, well, Jack Smith and his lawyers are being very smart here because arguably the Republicans in Congress and in the White House and DOJ are trying to set up a pincer move where if he is called upon to testify and has to answer questions, the only way that he can answer honestly is by Divulging grand jury material, which, as we've talked about previously, is typically stuff that can't be disclosed. I think what's important to remember here is, you know, Jack Smith is, you know, we mostly see him through still images and prepared remarks. But I really encourage people to watch his interview from a few days ago with Andrew Weissman. Extraordinarily articulate, extraordinarily knowledgeable about DOJ procedures here, including these procedures about grand jury secrecy. And that really stands in contrast to.
Jeannie Seaver
The folks that he's going to be.
Mike Davis
Testifying in front of.
Steve Bannon
You know, I've actually testify in front of Jim Jordan, you know, I guess, you know, he is not a particularly good questioner.
Jeannie Seaver
He's going to talk very quickly, he's.
Steve Bannon
Going to say a lot of things, but he really doesn't know the materials the way that Smith does. Adam Schiff's attorney called the investigation transparently vindictive. If he's indicted, are there strong grounds to toss this case? Well, there are. This will be round two of the Jim Comey case, also similar to the prosecution of Letitia James. Because what makes those cases so stunning is that they were indict indicted after experienced career prosecutors declined to indict the cases. And Donald Trump was forced to drop in, of course, his own choice for that office, someone with no experience who was willing to move forward to indict Senator Schiff after experienced career folks in the Maryland U.S. attorney's office say no would be tantamount to acknowledging that this is a selective, vindictive prosecution. And now you've got a new deputy assistant secretary for election integrity pushing the very same lies. Yeah, I mean, I think they're not probably going to have to deal with a lawsuit. But I mean, this is, to Jake's point, I think it is kind of defining. Right. Like my line about the 2024 campaign is that more than anything else, Donald Trump was running to finish the job he started on January 6th. And I think that's really the fundamental way of understanding the second term.
Jeannie Seaver
Yeah.
Steve Bannon
And what they did with January 6th, the whole plot, they identified the vulnerabilities and the systems. Right. And then you put these people in place.
Mike Davis
Right.
Steve Bannon
So now with, with Heather Honey at cisa, Right. You have someone now, if there be some claims, this is the agency that is meant to protect all of cybersecurity and infrastructure.
Jeannie Seaver
Yeah.
Steve Bannon
That's the worst possible person to put there.
Dave Brett
She had no political history before.
Jeannie Seaver
Yeah.
Steve Bannon
And now she's there. And if basically, if there were to be some claims of voter fraud, you'd wonder what she would say. She was trying to say that they would declare an emergency and mandate states to do certain things which I think would be blocked by the courts. But my main thing that I've really been thinking about is how we might, in Hindsight, see the 2022 midterms as one of most important elections in recent history. Because all of those battleground states. 20. Oh, no, 2022. Okay, yeah, 2022. Because all of those battleground states we saw election deniers lost. Remember, that was a big election. And now all of these key states are run by Democrats. Yeah, yeah, all of them. Right. Whereas now, if we were in this position where in Jersey it went, you know, I think with D. McCormick.
Mike Davis
Right.
Dave Brett
Or.
Mike Davis
Yeah.
Steve Bannon
And these other states, if it was run by Republicans, Kerry Lake.
Dave Brett
Right.
Steve Bannon
Where would he be? Who would they be obeying those mandates? And now, because those are all going to be run by Democrats, there'll be bulwarks against potential efforts in 2026. So that gives me a little bit of hope. I'm, you know, throw a little bit of hopium out there. And then you have these other things coming out of the Department of Justice, whether it's weaponizing the Department of Justice against the President's perceived political enemies, Letitia James or Adam Schiff. And you have prosecutors saying there's not enough here to go after these people. But yet the administration continues to want to speak very publicly, but then hide behind closed doors whenever we try to sign a light. So we have filed lawsuits this week to get behind the communications between the Department of Justice and these agencies to understand what's happening. We've launched an investigation into the President's claim the Department of justice owes him $230 million. This is not just a money grab. It is a power grab. And it is a power grab that's deeply harmful to people. And you see people now pushing back. And the question we all need to be asking is, what are they hiding? What are they afraid of? Why wouldn't bring Jack Smith up in front of all of the American people to see they deserve, we deserve to know what is happening and what are they hiding? With all of these other demands that we see from the Department of Justice.
Dave Brett
Excited isn't the word. The market should be excited, too. Here's our late but coming out September, read on. The Consumer Price index, headline number up 3, 10, 1 10. Cooler than both rearview mirror and what we were expecting. And if we look at the stripping out of food and energy known as core it comes in also a bit less than expected. Up 2. 10, we're expecting up 3. 10. Our last look was up 3.
Mike Davis
10.
Dave Brett
Here's the money ball numbers year over year, 3%. And even though it's less than the 3.1 we're expecting, it's hotter than 2.9. And after all, it's got a three handle. And if we look at CPI year over year, ex food and energy, it also comes in at 3%. We're also expecting 3.1, but last look was 3.1. So it cooled a bit. So we're seeing interest rates move down and stocks move up. You may be asking why? Easy answer. Because it's less than expectations. Is it less than the Fed's target of 2%? No. Which in my opinion, that fact will rise above all the issues of the day at some point. But yes, we do see rates moving a bit lower. Ultimately, this is a very important number because the market, without any data points, has been pretty much viewed on the notion that the labor market is slowing. And that really is a good thing if you're looking for the Fed cycle to continue its rate cuts. Now, how does this figure in? I can't speak for Fed officials, but if you really have an agnostic view and you look at these numbers, the last thing you think about is we're closing in on the Fed's target. This is the primal screen of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. There's no I got a 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?
Steve Bannon
MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish.
Dave Brett
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. War room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. It's Friday the 24th of October in the Overlord 2025. I've got Dave Brett riding shotgun with me today, wearing his doctorate in economy economics because inflation came in below expectations, heading towards the below 3, heading towards the the 2% inflation target of the Fed and real wages are up. Donald Trump's economic plan appears, at least to the markets, to be working because the math is working. I get bread in here in A moment, all of that. And that was a magnificent cold open cut over the last, from material over the last couple of days by the Denver Raft team and of course our war room producers here at the War Room. Just magnificent. I want to bring in the Viceroy, Mike Davis. So I wanted to start, I wanted to start with Arctic Frost and what your old boss Grassley dropped the bomb on, on, on this, on Lisa Monaco, Chris Wray and Merrick Garland. But I've got to ask you about that cold open mike Viceroy, complete meltdown from everything we're trying to sort out these elections to. You've got a team going through the 2020 elections. Also people are trying to weed out the weaponization of government. MSNBC and CNN are kind of vapor locked. They have very little time. President's leaving today for an extended trip to Asia. We're going to have Thayer and Captain Funnell, all of us on, talk about that, about the high stakes with the Chinese Communist Party and Asia as the war in Ukraine heats up, as it looks like we're getting ready for kinetic activity in Venezuela, Marco Rubio's in, in Israel. Everything geopolitically is going on, but the mainstream media, particularly msnbc, is vapor locked over kind of the plan of the Viceroy. What's going on? What are they complaining about, sir?
Mike Davis
Well, I would say this to these Democrats. If the 2020 election was so clean, why are they so scared to show their work? Why are they freaking out about opening up the hood and taking a look at the 2020 election? And we, we all know the answer. It was clearly rigged and stolen. They used Covid as an excuse to illegally, unconstitutionally mass mail ballots out to old voter list, including college students who move and these ballots pile up at these apartment complexes. And how do you prevent a fraudulent mail ballot? You look at signature verification, but somehow Covid changed our signature and they turned signature verification down to meeting lists. And so of course they stole the election. They know it. They know they're going to get caught. It's the, it's one of the biggest scandals in American history that you can rig and steal an election. They also know that they're getting caught on this lawfare, this criminal conspiracy against rights under 18 USC section 241. My old boss Chuck Grassley found a pretty damning memo from former FBI Director Chris Ray to Attorney General Merrick Garland through Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, who's the worst actor of them all, Lisa Monaco. But this memo authorized Arctic Frost. And let's just explain to your listeners and viewers what Arctic Frost is Democrats. The Biden administration used President Trump's challenge of the 2020 election as a predicate to open up a crime. And again, I keep saying this on your show. It is not a crime to object to a presidential election. It's only a crime to object to a presidential election and a Third World Marxist hellhole. If it were a crime to object to a presidential election, you would see Democrats in prison for objecting to Republican wins and Democrat losses in 1968, 2000, 2004 and 2016. And so there's clearly not a crime here. But what the Biden Justice Department did was used Arctic Frost to spy on and try to imprison President Trump, his top aides, his allies, and even his allies in the United States Senate. And the fact that they spied on nine US Senators is it finally got the Senate's attention after four years.
Dave Brett
Viceroy, can you hang on one second? I just want to draw. I know you got to bounce. You're traveling today. I just got a few more questions about this. Make sure the audience understands, you know, we've talked, I gave that speech or that talk, those remarks at Charlie Kirk's Student Action Summit about taking on the deep state and the urgency, how we had to have a maximalist strategy to take it apart. Things are happening. Things are rolling and rolling hard. You've got grand juries, you have people that are taking apart the weaponization. You now have this new front open up by Senator Grassley and Arctic Frost, all of it. So a lot going on. The Viceroy is going to stick around. Get Dave Brad packed show today. Gold back up at 4100.

Mike Davis and people should know the Viceroy is a, I think, I would say a sage and major advisor to the entire administration. So you have I just want the audience. The takeaway from this morning, there are multiple fronts in which major action is taking from from federal grand juries to people working on tiger teams or task force inside the government about taking down the deep state or de weaponizing the deep state. To Heather Honey and others now coming in to look at the mechanics of the elections and people starting to actually get down and start to look at adjudicating the 2020 election. On all that, one of the most explosive was I say, I just want to go back and make sure everybody understands the scale of this because it took a whistleblower at the FBI. They had buried this so deep that Cash Patel, the director, and Dan Bongino, the the deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, could not Find this. I want everybody to embrace that could not find this. It took a whistleblower to come forward about the senators, about the nine senators basically being wiretapped, let's call it what it is, wiretapped by Biden's, by Biden's regime. I want to, I want to say, how big was this memo? Now they've unearthed this memo, kind of setting up Arctic Frost. How big is this? How's it tied to the senators? And where do you think this. Because Grassley, people got to remember Grassley ain't a lawyer. He's an Iowa farmer. He's, he's tough as boot leather and he's like a dog with a bone against these investigations. Mike Davis, the Viceroy, your thoughts?
Mike Davis
I would say this is the biggest mistake that these lawfare Democrats made, that you didn't hear senators complain too much when the, the, the Biden Justice Department, the Obama Justice Department spied on presidential candidate Donald Trump, spied on him when he was the President of the United States, indicted him, went after his top aides like you and Peter Navarro and Jeff Clark and so many others. It wasn't until the welfare Democrats went after these U.S. senators that they really got into hot water here. And I say this, presidents come and go. Senators last for decades, right? And so this was a huge tactical mistake by these lawfare Democrats. It finally got the senators attention. You're hearing senators who I didn't hear say very much about this unprecedented Republicaning lawfare over the last eight years. They're suddenly very interested and very outraged. And so a big mistake by these lawfare Democrats. Merrick Garlands, Lisa Monaco, Chris Ray, Jack Smith, Jay Bratt, so many of these bad actors. I would also take note of a, a new court order, I think people miss down in the Southern District of Florida where the new Trump U.S. attorney in Miami, Jason Redding Quinones, one of my good friends opened up a special grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, and that's going to get and paneled sometime in early January. So I would watch out for what's happening down in the Southern District of Florida. We've been calling for a, an investigation under 18 USC Section 2, 241 conspiracy against rights for over three years on this show, Steve Bannon, since the Mar A Lago raid. And maybe, just maybe that's going to happen.
Dave Brett
Mike. The other thing they're, they're, they're, they're going crazy about is, is this effort to go after the deep state and start to take apart the weaponization and using teams put together from inside the government. I mean, obviously it would come from inside the government. What, what is their complaint? I don't understand the grounds of their complaint on this. To look at the deep state and the deep state actors, they're going absolutely crazy on this, on this topic. Your thoughts?
Mike Davis
Yeah. Think about it. If this were a corporation and you have the executives of the corporation going bonkers because the board of directors of the corporation wants to do an audit of, of the books and the executives are going crazy, you can't do it on the books. And you have to ask why not? Why, why can't you make these government officials show their work on the 2020 election? Why can't you make these government officials show their work on what they did to investigate their political enemies, going back to the Russian collusion hoax of if they, if they've done nothing wrong, they shouldn't be concerned about showing their work. But they're freaking out. So maybe that's a good indication that Trump and his team are over the target and they've actually done something very bad with the 2020 election. These Democrat operatives, they've all, they, maybe they've done something very bad with this lawfare against President Trump, his top aides, his allies, his supporters on January six, parents, Christians, maybe, maybe they know they're going to get caught and that's why they're freaking out.
Dave Brett
Before I let you go, you know, Pam Bondi gave a great answer yesterday when they had that the task force kind of up there about doing this. And Pam, they asked Pam about grand jury and she says, look, I can't talk about the grand juries, but there's a lot of grand juries going on. And I think Pam Bondi's response is absolutely correct response. But before I let you go, Vaishrori, just give me 60 seconds on Lisa Monaco and why Lisa Monaco. When all is said and done, Lisa Monaco's name is going to be emblazoned in American, in infamy, in American history, sir.
Mike Davis
Yeah, she's the, she was the deputy attorney general under Joe Biden. She was the person who ran the day to day of the Biden Justice Department. Merrick Garland was this aloof former judge who was kind of a figurehead of the Justice Department. He was still a bad actor, but it was really Lisa Monaco as the dagger, the deputy attorney general who ran the day to day of this lawfare. She was very close to Obama. She was an Obama plant. And she's, she's not going to look good when these investigations Conclude and I want to, I just want to remind your, the war room posse if we did not have Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Cash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino and Harm Meat Dylan as the head of the Civil Rights division and Jason Redding quinones as the U.S. attorney and Miami and Judge Jeanine Pirro in D.C. if we did and Tulsi Gabbard if we didn't have these bold and fearless Devin Nunez who's running Trump's intel board, if we didn't have these bold and fearless picks and this second term, none of this would have come out. These we saw in the first term with the people like Bill Barr who covered up this, these biggest scandals in American history, refused to investigate the election, refused to look at Russian collusion hoax. We have bold and fearless leaders in President Trump's second term and they are, they are absolutely going to get to the bottom of this and they're absolutely going to bring accountability as I've said for the last three years on your show and I'm going to make damn sure that happens in the, in the four years of the second Trump term. We have to have accountability for what happens so this never happens again. These are republic ending tactics. When you steal elections, you rig and steal elections and then you try to throw your political enemies in prison for nine crimes, you're going to destroy our country. And so there has to be the most severe legal, political and financial consequences. I have not been trolling about this for the last three years. I am deadly serious about this and I'm going to make damn sure these lawfare Democrats go to prison.
Dave Brett
I think it's just dawn on these folks in the last week that we are dead serious and this is a, maybe the highest priority. Mike Davis, Article 3 your social media and Article 3 where do people go?
Mike Davis
Article 3 project.org Article number 3 project.org Follow us on social media donate but only what you can afford. But as everyone knows, the war room posse's superpower is action, action, action. And thank you Steve and thank you to your war room posse.
Dave Brett
Thank you brother. Appreciate you, Dave. Brad Wall street was not some markets on fire. Wall street was not expecting this news. In fact they were all saying yesterday it's going to be above three. I mean they're, they're getting ready Trump's grave investment. They got Trump invested in their gun sites. Give me, give me, give me a minute on this for we go to break the numbers today.
Jeannie Seaver
Yeah, well, markets are up again. Inflation came in cooler than anticipated. That's the short run. As Rick Santelli said, the 2% target is the bottom line ultimately. And President Trump is busy running the world and they forget to remind everybody that Biden, we had 20% inflation for four years. So he's, he's working on it, but the Federal Reserve is in charge of it. We're still making up for the 2008 crisis and digging our way out of this debt hole and inflation mess. But today we got a hair of good news. Santelli said labor markets are cooling a little bit and that's good news for a rate cut. I don't think it's good news. I hate hearing people phrase it that way. That's the American, American worker. So we got to get to Rick on that one.
Dave Brett
Okay, we're gonna take a short commercial break. Every dream you've had, and by the way, it's inflation. War is one asset that, that may be a counter, counter, valence, the countervailing to that is your home. Every dream you've had is in that home. Make sure that somebody that doesn't own it, like, hey, I realize you got many choices when it comes to who you choose for your cell phone service and there are new ones popping up all the time. But here's the truth. There's only one that boldly stands in the gap for every American that believes that freedom is worth fighting for. And that's the team at Patriot Mobile. For more than 12 years, Patriot Mobile has been on the front lines of fighting for our God given rights and freedoms while also providing exceptional nationwide cell phone service with access to all three of the main networks. Don't just take my word for it. Ask the hundreds of thousands of Americans who've made the switch and are now supporting causes they believe in. Simply by joining Patriot Mobile. Switching is easier than ever. Activate in minutes from the comfort of your own home. Keep your number, keep your phone or upgrade. Patriot Mobile's all US based support team is standing by to take care of you. Call 978 Patriot today or go to patriotmobile.com Bannon that's patriotmobile.com Bannon use the promo code Bannon for a free month of service. That's patriotmobile.com Bannon. Or call 972 Patriot and make the switch today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Okay, you've got these. You got that dogfight. Down in Texas in Tarrant County, Lee Wambsgans, who used to be the comms director for the political side of Patriot Mobile, now in a tough fight against Chinese money, money that comes from the biggest, from Macau, right, The money laundering and child trafficking. Center of the universe. Reason child trafficking is that as you know, President Trump's going to be meeting with the Chinese Communist Party. They slaughtered forced abortions. 450 million forced abortions. Think about that for a second. Think about a government that would do that to their people. And 80% of those are little baby girls slaughtered. That's why they have a huge societal problem with young men because there's just not enough women. So what they do, they traffic them in from Southeast Asia, do places like Macau. That money, that's the money that's going against Lee. So patriot mobile. 972patriot these people back you, back your causes back everything we work on here at the war room, just amazing. 972 Patriot talk to an American citizen. But changing your phone service today, it's the best phone service out there because it layers on top of the other three giant mobile carriers, Patriot Mobile, Glenn's story and the team Brat. You've got some first of the economic news and I've been saying, hey, we need to pivot more some of these bilats instead of having some of these NATO guys, you got to have more domestic bilats in the White House. I think the White House and I'm kind of concerned about the, the fourth quarter numbers. Just, I just am, I think, because I think the rest of the other quarters have been so fantastic. But this, these numbers today are Great. The, the $200 billion positive number on the deficit in, in September was amazing. So President Trump seems to be hitting the key is real wages are up, inflation's not, is under expectations. But you're most concerned right now, as I am, is about the deep state, the election of 2020 J6 and basically indictments across the board for what they try to do to President Trump in the first term. Your thoughts, sir?
Jeannie Seaver
Yeah. Well, first Mike Davis is a treasurer and what he just covered along with you was tremendous. But I just want to put down some evergreen stuff here as a marker. Right. What's going on here? I break it up into three parts. The strategy, the crime and then the COVID up. The strategy is very important. Going way back to 16, there was a threat to the entire system, right to this system. The matrix was under attack. For those who haven't seen the Matrix, go, go watch it. Get your young people to tell you what that is. But there was a major glitch in the, in the Matrix and that glitch was President Donald J. Trump in 2016. So then the crime, the crime is to run a coup and to take out a President of the United States. You'll never hear that from the left, right? And then the Arctic, the Operation Arctic Frost is the COVID up of that crime. And we're just covering part of the COVID up here, but it's just huge, way worse than Watergate. All this while the mainstream media today tells us that Trump, Trump is a threat to democracy. Right. And so I just went back to Grassley's webpage at, at U.S. senate Committee on the Judiciary. Here's just a headlines, right? Arctic Frost investigation formed the basis of Jack Smith's elector case against President Trump. Grassley, as you just said. But I want to give people the lingo here. Grassley's oversight exposed the existence of prohibited access files, a file system the FBI uses to limit access to certain documents by making some files inaccessible to most FBI agents. So as you said, we came down to having a whistleblower have to tell us this. Officials in the Biden White House, in the Biden White House personally assisted the FBI in securing Trump and Pence's government phones. Phones. President Trump and Pence's government phones. This is all from Grassley, by the way. Records Grassley made public last month showed the FBI also placed 92 Republican linked individuals and Republican groups such as Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA under Arctic Frost investigative scope. And just, you know, why is this huge and why is it not out there? Go out to Google, Google it, go out to Wikipedia and here's what they say. Articles is an informal label for an investigation that involved FBI preliminary toll analysis, phone metadata checks related several Republican U.S. senators, the context of the post 2020 election inquiries. Right? So nothing, nothing ever reported by the mainstream media. This is huge, right? The strategy.
Dave Brett
But hold it, but hold it, but hold it, but hang on, hang on, we got to stop. We said first off, it dwarfs Watergate. It's, it's, it's 10x Watergate number. Number two is that this is my problem with the broligarchs being in the White House and glazing President Trump. It's still Google. The big tech will not, not just not push us. They suppress this story. We're up against big tech because all the oligarchs are progressive Democrats. And as soon as President Trump exits the stage, they're going to be back to the progressive Democrats. They're only around us right now for the simple reason that President Trump is, you know, one of the top three presidents in the history of this country and saving the country. And they realize he's action, action, action, and they don't want to be caught crossways with his Justice Department or any more than they already are. The ftc. So the tech oligarchs, the Prologar, are not our friends here. You can see in this, in these massive investigations going over now. You go, you go online, you virtually can't find anything about it, right? It's. It's kind of.
Jeannie Seaver
It's crickets.
Dave Brett
Was not crickets. And this is why the mainstream, but this is why MSNBC is going crazy. Because President Trump yesterday has the panel with everybody and say, hey, here's what we're doing. And we got Stephen Miller, we got everybody, and they're freaking out because they understand Trump is taking action. Sir.
Jeannie Seaver
Yeah. And Senator Kennedy in his testimony, by the way, all eight senators that were spied on are the good guys. Go look that up. That's just a. You know, in passing, Kennedy raised the fact, as you were just pointing out on the communications front, that the mainstream media was all in on this. And under usaid, etcetera, they're probably getting paid. We can prove all that. But then the communication firms, all of them, had the power to independently quash these asks by a corrupt FBI, right? When you go after a sitting U.S. senator and ask for their phone records, and the communication companies say, yeah, sure. And you remember, I forgot to point out, right, part of the strategy and the conspiracy way up at the top level, the Unit party was in full motion here, right? You had the Republican leadership and the Democrat leadership all in on the Unit party going after Trump. Right? Back in 16, we forget that, right? And then we had the entire censorship regime coming against us. And so the action coming here is just huge for the American people. We, we've all been waiting for this, right? We've been called Nazis and fascists and taking over the government. It's all a messaging war. And the narrative really matters here. And this is the goods that we needed to show. No, it's the left. All political views of my own that's been lying to us since 2016, when the Washington Post launched a story on President Trump before he raised his right hand. It's a conspiracy of the highest order, the greatest magnitude this country has ever seen. Dwarfing Watergate, as you said, dwarfs Watergate.
Dave Brett
Hang on a second, Dave. We got a lot more to go through. Do I have a cold open? Jeanne Sievers with us on a story that we naturally, normally wouldn't cover, but it's, it actually speaks to a very large and troubling issue in this country right now. Can we go play the cold open and I'll just leave my mouth open. I'll jump in. Gambling on the games. It's two things.
Steve Bannon
First of all, as we were talking.
Dave Brett
About earlier in the show, all of.
Steve Bannon
These leagues, the NBA made most of all, but all of the leagues have gotten into bed with these, with FanDuel, with, with DraftKings, all these, these companies.
Jeannie Seaver
Where you can bet.
Steve Bannon
Betting is sports betting is legal in a number of states now, not all, but a number of states. And there's sponsorship everywhere.
Dave Brett
Whether it's on any, whether it's espn, Fox, any telecast.
Steve Bannon
There's, there's ways to bet on this and it's the prop bets and those are so easily manipulated. You can, if you're a player and you're looking to make a little cash.
Dave Brett
Or help out your friends or whatever.
Steve Bannon
It might be, or organized crime, it's.
Jeannie Seaver
Easy to say, you know what, I'm.
Steve Bannon
Gonna get under four rebounds today. Especially if you're some bench player who's only getting limited minutes, it's that, that's the kind of stuff that's so easy manipulated. So talk about that.
Dave Brett
And also head coaches, they decide lineups which players sit.
Steve Bannon
That's so dangerous.
Jeannie Seaver
Yeah.
Dave Brett
The menu of prop bets in your imagination, when you think about like the mob and these point shaving things you're.
Steve Bannon
Talking about affecting the score, this is not even that. This is the ability to bet against yourself.
Dave Brett
Essentially.
Steve Bannon
If I am going to do badly in a game, if I'm going to take myself out of it, I'm going.
Dave Brett
To get less than what the gambling operators say I'm projected to in a given game. So I can get, get under the.
Steve Bannon
Number of rebounds that I'm expected to.
Jeannie Seaver
I can bet.
Dave Brett
Yep. Jeannie Seaver, Moms Against Gambling I want you to talk because, you know, I'm kind of shocked and I'm a pretty big sports fan. But I know all my younger nephews and all my young crew that principally male that actually produce and put the war room together are all degenerate gamblers because they're betting on, in these games, they're betting on everything. They're betting on free throws. You know, does a guy throw a slider or a fastball the next pitch? I mean, the technology and what's shocking to me from the most blue blood like usga, all these sport, you know, and even the blue bloods like usga, everybody's in on it, all the sports leagues are in. ESPN's got a gap. ESPN shows the games. And now it's going on because the money is, it's so massive. The cash flow is so massive and, and the house always wins here. These kids are becoming poor and poor and poor. And it's one thing to gamble and just say, hey, I'm going to put up so much because it's like entertainment. So it's like going to a movie, put up 20 bucks or 25 bucks. But my belief is that's not happening here. Why do you have this organization and how is this scandal play into exactly what you've been preaching against for years?
Steve Bannon
Well, Moms Against Gambling is a national organization. Our basic goal is to educate parents, families, legislators on the harms and the addiction that is impacted by the gambling industry. There is so much going on right now. The addiction rates are skyrocketing. And what happened yesterday is just a tip of the iceberg, Steve, on what's to come. Because there is, there is so much. I mean, it's all, like you said, it's all about the money.
Jeannie Seaver
Money.
Steve Bannon
It's all about the money. That's all they care about. And it's the, it preys pretty much on the poor for the ones that are actually funding these millions and millions of dollars of advertising of sports betting. I mean, we've been fighting seven to nine years in Georgia. They've been trying to legalize all kinds of gambling here in Georgia. And we're just out there trying to educate them on the negative impacts. One out of five that become addicted to gambling, Steve, attempt suicide there. That is factual. That is not just a, you know, a talking point. It's, it's factual. And every, like in Georgia, for example, every dollar that they take in, in revenues for gambling, it will cost the state seven to eight dollars just on the negative impacts and the total destruction of the families and the mental health services that is needed. That will be needed. So this is a bad, bad situation. It's a, it's, it's destroying sports as we see. I mean, come on, you've got that athlete down in with Miami Heat. I mean, what is he making, $24 million a year? That's not enough. That's not enough a year. And he just threw it all away. It's an addiction. It's a terrible, terrible addiction. And it's definitely preying not only on our young men, but kids. Kids, Stephen, on their video games and iPhones, encouraging them to go and play the slot machines to get free stuff and then just try to get them into like this is a normal thing. This is not normal. And it's destroying. It will destroy our country. And they say, Steve, that it is the next opioid crisis.
Dave Brett
Hang on for a second. You're absolutely correct. Let's take a short commercial break. Myles Guo is going to take with take down the ccp. And of course President Trump's going over to have a very tough negotiation with Xi. All next in the war room. 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. I want you all to read it and get 20% off when you use promo code Bannon@FieldofGreens.com that's FieldofGreens.com promo code Bannon. Read the university study.

And in addition, you will get an energy boost. That's fieldofgreens.com promo code Bannon. You get 20% off. Do it today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. Jeannie One in five. Okay. What Seaver said is, is absolutely 100% correct. We have a massive opioid crisis in fentanyl in this country that's taking out, you know, every year like 2x what we lost in Vietnam, driven by the Chinese Communist Party, the gambling kind of, you know, this thing in Texas with Lee Bombsgan. The company's got seven casinos in, in, in Macau, a money laundering, the money laundering and child trafficking and sex trafficking center for the Chinese Communist Party. That's always lovely, isn't it? Macau is one of the darkest cities on earth. The specter of just darkness over Macau is deep. And they're trying to cause Texas. Once again, Texas is in play. They're trying to get gambling in Texas. Let me leave that aside. This is not, and I'm no Puritan, this is not betting which people have done for years, the college football card or the pro football card. You got the spreads and guys, you know, debate that shows all over. This is something far darker. When you watch, when I sit there and watch television sports events with my young Chargers or my nephews or things like that, they're not watching the games anymore. They're on the frickin phone and they're betting on their late. They're taking bets and laying bets off on like every action on the field. Are they going to go for it on fourth down? You know, is it, what's the next pitch? The guy's going to throw everything, every action. This is why this scandal right here. The guy just took himself out because they had I guess, a number of rebounds he's going to get or number of points he's going to get. So it's technically not point shaving, but it kind of is because he's taking himself out of the game. They got the video the very moment when he faked an ankle injury to go out. And that's because people are betting on every aspect of the game. And the sports books are not blameless here. You got the sports books, you have these huge industries and quite frankly got ESPN in the leagues. Espn. And these guys have bought into it it on the ESPN app, you can bet right there. And all they talk about is all they talk about all day long, the spreads, everything like that. The gambling has overwhelmed the sports. This is the issue. And you have a addiction issue coming because the gambling's always had an addiction problem. You got one coming that's gonna make the opioid crisis look small as far as addictions go. Maybe not some of deaths, but Jeanne, you're saying one out of every five gambling addicts commit suicide or attempt suicide?
Steve Bannon
Attempt, attempt suicide. They say one out of 10 are successful. That's the worst addiction in the nation. And let me give you an example of statistics here in Georgia. When we only have the lottery, we've got the coam or the slot machines and then the lottery tickets here in Georgia. And we're not. That's the only kind of gambling that's allowed. We have 840,000 addicted gamblers in Georgia with just that that is catastrophic. And they go, well, that's only a certain percent, Steve. One is bad enough because, you know, the economic impacts of the whole family structures destruction. I mean, I came from addiction, myself and my family. I know what that brings to your life and the struggles that you deal with. And so we are just out there fighting Georgia right now, trying to keep it from any other expansion.
Dave Brett
Oh, it's big money.
Steve Bannon
It's big money. And they say, well, it's for the kids. They say this, that and the other. But it's like it would be catastrophic. It'd be terrible for our country.
Dave Brett
And they're coming for the best of the southern and southwest states, Texas, Georgia, all Virginie, you're a national organization. I want people to go to your site, get more information. We're going to be covering this in depth now because as much pressure as people on, we're going to have to, we're going to have to address this situation. And we're not puritans. Okay. It's not like we're. This, this, this is not a good government, holier than thou situation. This is a, our young men particularly are being, being wrapped up. This, you can see it, you can feel it when you watch sports. You can see the games themselves and you can bet on everything. You see these commercials where it's all happy clapping and let's have a good time and more camaraderie if we bet. Jeanne, where do people go for your site?
Steve Bannon
Can I just add one more important very quick point?
Dave Brett
Sure.
Steve Bannon
I beg your listeners to go and look at their children's iPhones and video games because you will be surprised what you see of the gambling apps on their phone. That is the first thing that you could do because a lot of people ask on trying to get a, you know, just get a feel for what's going on in your child's life. And yes, it's moms against gambling.com we have. That's, that's, you know, we're there a lot of resources there to educate you. We are on X at no Gambling. NGA is our username and of course we're on Facebook. Moms Against Gambling. Any questions, anything we can do to help any parents with. We've had had several parent parents call and we've helped them. One more fact. There are three. Three rehab facilities in our nation. That's it. Three that are specifically targeted to help the gambling addicts. Only three, Steve.
Dave Brett
Wow.
Steve Bannon
These are things that need to be made our people made aware of and thank you so much and appreciate it, Mike Lindell, because he had us on our, on his Hope show with his team talking about this. So thank you so much, Steve.
Dave Brett
Thank you, ma'. Am. Appreciate you. We'll cover this more. Drill down on this brat. Brad, you're a pro athlete. You're a tennis. You're a tennis player. You're a pro athlete. Talk to me about modern. Talk to me about modern sports. I'm taking, I'm going long, Brad. I'm long right now. You see it? You see it, Dave, I know you're a sports fan. When you watch sports now, particularly with young people, they're on the fricking phones. I said, hey, get off the phones. And, you know, quit texting the girlfriend and, you know, and focus on the game. And there are. Focus on the game. But they're, they're laying off bets for every action on the field. And I'm sitting there going, how much? Because the house always wins on this. You know that. Talk to me about the moral depravity we're facing in this gambling situation.
Jeannie Seaver
Yeah, well, yeah, as your resident pilgrim puritan, Gene's last point there was right. Go check out the kids phones. And it's not just sports, it's everything, right? And speaking of dating, you know, they're talking to their girlfriend. Everybody's dating over the phones now. The first meetings and everything. The sports is totally corrupt, right? It's, it's not even clear who's winning the games. The, the, the collegiate sports map has been ruined by money. Everybody knows. So even, even when you're placing your bets, no one's clear. It's not all rigged. But the major point is you got to give your kids something to do, like go play sports, get out and go play out in the woods like we used to do when we were kids. Go out and meet girls, right? Don't do it all on the phone. That's the problem.
Dave Brett
Give them. Do what my parents did, my mom did. Throw them out in the backyard with a stick and say, use your imagination.
Jeannie Seaver
Right?
Dave Brett
Take the stick. Give him the stick.
Jeannie Seaver
Yes.
Dave Brett
Okay, we're taking, we're leaving with the right stuff. The second hour is going to be more on fire than the first. Stick around. You're in the war room.

Date: October 24, 2025
Host: Steve Bannon
Guests: Dave Brat, Mike Davis (“Viceroy”), Jeannie Seaver
This episode delivers a dual focus: exposing alleged deep-state weaponization and surveillance tied to the Biden administration’s “Arctic Frost” operation and the DOJ, and highlighting the rapid rise and dangers of legalized sports gambling in America. Steve Bannon convenes his regular contributors for their take on ongoing political investigations, the aftermath and future impact of the 2020 election, and a deep-dive discussion on the societal impact of modern sports betting, featuring an activist voice from Moms Against Gambling.
Personnel Loyal to Trump: The discussion opens with analysis of how the Trump administration and its allies prioritized loyalty—particularly those who denied the 2020 election results—when awarding key government positions.
Jack Smith & DOJ Secrecy: The legality and risks of prosecutors like Special Counsel Jack Smith testifying before Congress are debated, with a focus on the potential legal traps posed by grand jury secrecy laws.
2022 Midterms, Safeguards & Election Denial: Discussion centers on how key battleground states' governance by Democrats (after election deniers lost in 2022) may act as a bulwark against future alleged election subversion attempts.
Investigating DOJ Communications: The War Room team describes current lawsuits aimed at uncovering supposed secret coordination within the DOJ and between federal agencies to target political opponents.
Arctic Frost Reveal:
Mike Davis breaks the news of a memo unearthed by Sen. Chuck Grassley, allegedly authorizing “Arctic Frost”—a DOJ operation purportedly harnessed to spy on Trump, his aides, and nine US Senators.
"This memo authorized Arctic Frost... the Biden administration used President Trump's challenge of the 2020 election as a predicate to open up a crime... to spy on and try to imprison President Trump, his top aides, his allies, and even his allies in the United States Senate." — Mike Davis [12:45]
Notably, Davis frames this as a “republic-ending” abuse, far surpassing Watergate.
Reaction Inside the Senate:
Only when senators themselves were targeted, Davis alleges, did the Senate become outraged and begin taking action.
"Presidents come and go. Senators last for decades... This was a huge tactical mistake by these lawfare Democrats. It finally got the senators’ attention." — Mike Davis [19:38]
Monaco & DOJ Criticism:
Lisa Monaco, Biden’s Deputy Attorney General, is identified as a linchpin of alleged DOJ misconduct. Davis and Bannon emphasize that only with “bold and fearless” Trump-aligned appointments will full accountability and transparency be possible.
"Lisa Monaco's name is going to be emblazoned in infamy in American history." — Dave Brat [22:47]
Big Tech Suppression:
Bannon and Brat allege collusion by technology and media companies to quash coverage of the Arctic Frost scandal.
"You go online, you virtually can't find anything about it... Big tech will not, not just not push us, they suppress this story." — Steve Bannon [35:05]
Market and inflation data is recapped, with the panel spinning a narrative of economic improvement under Trump’s policies and warning of ongoing struggles.
"Inflation came in below expectations, heading towards the 2% inflation target of the Fed, and real wages are up. Donald Trump's economic plan appears, at least to the markets, to be working because the math is working." — Steve Bannon [09:17]
"Wall Street was not expecting this news... President Trump seems to be hitting the key... real wages are up, inflation's under expectations." — Steve Bannon [30:53]
Sports Leagues and Betting Companies:
All major sports leagues and networks (NBA, ESPN, FOX, etc.) are described as “in bed” with online betting firms like FanDuel and DraftKings.
"All these leagues, the NBA made most of all, but all of the leagues have gotten into bed... with FanDuel, with DraftKings—all these companies." — Steve Bannon [37:50]
Prop Bets and Easy Manipulation:
The panoply of prop bets increases the risk and ease of cheating, both by players and criminal organizations.
"You can, if you're a player... say, you know what, I'm gonna get under four rebounds today. Especially if you're some bench player..." — Steve Bannon [38:17]
Addiction and Youth Gambling:
National activist Jeannie Seaver (Moms Against Gambling) warns of unprecedented addiction rates, suicide attempts among gambling addicts, and the targeting of children through gaming apps.
"One out of five that become addicted to gambling, Steve, attempt suicide... For every dollar they take in for gambling, it'll cost the state seven to eight dollars just on the negative impacts and total destruction of the families." — Jeannie Seaver [40:44]
Only three US rehab centers focus on gambling addiction, highlighting societal unpreparedness for the crisis. [49:40]
Societal Impact:
Panelists agree that pervasive gambling is leading to “moral depravity,” the destruction of family structures, and will spark a crisis to rival or exceed the opioid epidemic.
"This is not a good government, holier than thou situation. This is a, our young men particularly are being, being wrapped up. This... makes the opioid crisis look small as far as addictions go." — Steve Bannon [48:31]
Parental Vigilance:
Seaver urges parents to check children’s phones for gambling apps and to monitor for early-stage addiction.
"I beg your listeners to go and look at their children's iPhones and video games because you will be surprised what you see of the gambling apps on their phone. That is the first thing that you could do..." — Jeannie Seaver [49:14]
On Arctic Frost and DOJ Allegations
On Sports Gambling:
This episode is a sweeping, combative War Room staple: conspiratorial and urgent, with Bannon and his guests constructing a narrative where the Biden administration weaponizes federal agencies for unprecedented illegal surveillance and “lawfare”—culminating in the Arctic Frost scandal. Simultaneously, they pivot to a full-on moral panic regarding sports gambling, using vivid statistics and activist testimony to warn of a generational addiction crisis.
Listeners receive a granular breakdown of perceived abuses by federal law enforcement, intricate (if speculative) explanations of grand jury secrecy, and a persistent call for accountability. The sports gambling half mixes policy critique and cultural lament, ending with practical advice to parents. Throughout, the tone is alarmist, defiant, and aimed at firing up the War Room’s core base for action.
Host Final Word:
"The second hour is going to be more on fire than the first. Stick around. You're in the war room." — Steve Bannon [52:15]
