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.
Jim Rickards
All these networks lying about the people.
Steve Bannon
The people have had a belly full of it.
Jim Rickards
I know you don't like hearing that.
Steve Bannon
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.
Jim Rickards
What is my purpose?
Steve Bannon
If that answer is to save my.
Brian Harrison
Country, this country will be saved.
Matt Schlapp
War room here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
Steve Bannon
Brian, give me, take two minutes and give me. And give me.
Jim Rickards
What's going on.
Steve Bannon
We got all this HB1 problems. Got all these issues in corporate America. Tell me about my beloved state of Texas. So next to the Commonwealth of Virginia, my home. I don't think I love a state more than Texas. You guys are the railhead of maga. You went through some of the toughest times in building this country on the frontier. It's a magnificent state with magnificent people. Please don't tell me the renowned University of Texas and Texas A and M university system is replete with H1B visa holders. Sir.
Brian Harrison
Yes, I love Texas. You love Texas. All God's children love Texas. Here's the problem. The reputation that the state of Texas has. There could not be a bigger delta between our reputation and reality. So put the private sector issues to the side with H1B. Let's talk about the Texas government. The things that the Texas people supposedly have control over. Even though as you know and the posse knows we've got a totally fake so called Republican unit party down here in Austin. The Texas government, okay. The Texas public university system. The inmates have been running the asylums. The governor of Texas makes the appointments. He appoints all the regions has for over a decade. They're responsible for everything in our public universities. Are they pursuing Texas first policies and hiring Texans to educate the workforce of Texas for tomorrow?
Mike Lindell
No.
Brian Harrison
I'm going to shock you. Texas has 3 million corporations in the state of Texas. 3 million. The top 10 users of the H1B program. And I probably need to say abusers because there's a lot of scam elements to this. The Texas public universities would be in the top 10 if they were one single unified employer in the state of Texas. My alma mater, Texas A and M keeps cranking out the hits here, well over 200 just at Texas A and M alone and not even for highly specialized jobs.
Mike Lindell
These are.
Steve Bannon
Okay, that was another victory. Victory begets victory. Remember, in a war, folks, victory begets victory. This is. And I'll get to the. Our war room, Texas and, and the spending, the five weeks in Texas that we're going to spend. That was last November. Brian Harrison. We have a victory on this, right, on the H1B scam, because in this issue that we've got on the getting rid of Sharia law, you do have the. Yesterday we had the chairman of Collin county on and he was talking about H1B visas mixing into this, particularly in the, in the school system, I guess, Harmony schools. We had the filmmaker Mark hall on St. Harmony schools. They were all staffed by H1B visa holders. What? You, you, you stood up, you made a big deal about this. The war and posse started working the phones. We have some positive results, sir.
Brian Harrison
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, results over rhetoric, right? That's what the voters of Texas demand and quite frankly, it's what they deserve. I was the first elected official in Texas to research this and find out the shocking reality that out of the 30 million, you know, businesses in Texas, if the Texas government, our public universities in particular, were taken as a whole, the Texas government was actually and has been a top 10 user or abuser of the H1B program in the entire state of Texas is an absolute outrage. And I believe that clip you showed Steve, you might have been the first national media show I went on to expose this scandal. And it is a scandal to the country. And I got to give credit to the posse, to the people who follow me on X, which we call the Liberty Bots. This was yet another victory begets victory, yet another in a long string of not just the biggest, but really the only conservative successes that have come out of the Texas government has come as a direct result of people like me going on shows like yours and social media, locking arms with the patriots across Texas and America melting the phone lines in Texas. It's how we got the president of Texas A and M fired. It's how we ended the biggest DEI program in Texas, how we stopped illegal aliens from registering vehicles. And now, excited to report today, we have again another huge victory curtailed. Finally, the Texas government is going to be reining in the H1B abuse has been rampant in the public universities in the state of Texas where, quite frankly, the liberal progressive Marxist inmates have been allowed to run the asylum for far too many years in the State of Texas. And it's further evidence why the Texas government, the legislature, has got to do what I came on your show a couple of weeks ago to publicly demand, which is stop waiting another year or two for action on all these issues. We need legislative oversight hearings and we need them now on things like property taxes, Sharia law. We have not done anything serious about that. Add the H1B issue to that right now. Save the Christian camps, a litany of things that cannot await. And quite frankly, once we get some of those hearings going, I would renew my call to the governor. Let's not wait until we're back in session in 2027 to start debating things that might not take effect until 2028 or 2029. Some of these issues are too pressing. H1B, property taxes, Sharia law. Texans deserve action. They need it now in 2026. Let's be bold. Let's finally Texas Republicans, let's start fighting as aggressively for the future of our state nation as a radical leftist Marxist progressive Democrats are.
Steve Bannon
If Denver would put up, folks to show the power of this audience and the power of you. We started this about four weeks ago with over Christmas. We planned this conference. We had this conference about four weeks ago that brought in Gert Wilders from the Netherlands, Glenn Beck and myself to talk about the issue of Syria law and it being on the ballot on March 3rd. And we launched War Room Texas right after that and three days a week and we're moving to Texas this weekend. We're going to be doing the show probably five days a week. Very quickly, the Texas Tribune, which is no MAGA publication, headline lead story yesterday, anti Islam rhetoric takes center stage in Texas Republican primary. And they said this is all everybody's talking about and it's going to change the direction of the country as we said it would, because Texas, and I say this as a Virginian, Texas is the crown jewel in the republic. More than California, more than Florida, even in the MAGA movement. I love Florida, but Texas is the crown jewel and the Islamists know this. Brian, you've been at the center of this. And I gotta tell you, the traffic on War Room Texas is off the charts. People are thirsting for this. We've had Arizona come on. The politicians there starting an anti Sharia movement. Oklahoma, the broken Arrow Oklahoma crowd, unbelievable. We had South Carolina yesterday. Mike Lindell came on running for governor. Lindell has got Amy Klobuchar. First off, he walls stopped, quit. And then Amy Klobuchar is leaving a safe Senate seat when all their Focus is taking the Senate to run against Lindell. And what does Lindell say? The very first act action he will take as governor is to ban Sharia law in Minnesota. So the nation is now getting. We're setting a permission structure for people to talk about this and act upon it. Brian Harrison.
Brian Harrison
Well, that's absolutely what leadership sounds like. And look, I want to be really clear that despite a lot of gaslighting from establishment politicians, the Texas government has actually not banned Sharia law in any meaningful way. And I love the way you let in there, Steve. I say this all the time and out giving speeches in my district and across the state. Texas is not often talked about as a battleground state. But I want to say this as clearly as I can. Texas is at the forefront. We are the line in the sand for the future of Western civilization. Because make no mistake about it, the the Texas government, Texas has been the crown jewels. I say the same thing you just used. Texas is the crown jewels in the left's plan to corrupt and ultimately take over these United States of America. So we've got primary elections that are coming up down here. I'm telling you, Steve, in my own race, when I'm knocking on doors, the success of the posse, the success of my followers on X or Twitter, the liberty bots, we have totally changed this from being like an obscure issue that the liberal media used to talk about as some fringe thing. Oh, what are these crazy right wing right wingers talking about? The Sharia thing? No, we've got multiple functioning Sharia tribunals and in my backyard, one in Irving, one in Dallas, we're adding two new mosques in Texas every single month. And I'm telling you, this issue has rocketed now to not just the top 10. I think it's a top one or two issue for just about every Republican primary voter here in the state of Texas. And Texas, the Texas government, the Texas establishment has got to wake up, pull their heads out of the sand and realize you talked about being a war out there. It is like World War three. We're facing out there the leftist progressive Marxist Democrats that want to not just bankrupt us economically, they don't want to just indoctrinate the next generation, which goes right Back to the H1B things. Why the hell is my alma mater Texas A and M importing thousands of likely anti American non American instructors into our public university systems so the Texas taxpayers have to fund H1B holder immigrants to indoctrinate the next generation in anti American ideology? This is the nonsense. This has been happening by the hands of supposed Republicans here in the Texas government for far too long. It's why I'm leading the charge for a whole new paradigm of transparency, exposure to root out this corruption. And so the Texas government can be not just the bold Republican leadership that voters of Texas demand, but that we can be the line in the sand that goes a long way to saving the next generation. Not just here in Texas, but as goes Texas, so goes America. As goes America, so goes the world. Texas has a role to play, and it's probably never been bigger. And I'm so grateful to you and the posse, Steve, for how many victories just in the last five, six months y' all have been able to help us to deliver against the liberal Austin establishment.
Steve Bannon
By the way, all started with Paxton's. All started when we woke up. I'll be the first event when we woke up because we've been fighting that Texas going blue for years, but we didn't realize how deep it was into the business and Republican establishment until the PACs and impeachment.
Brian Harrison
Yeah, they don't have to. They don't have to. They learn now they can't. And so they don't even try to run and win as Democrats. What they do is, is get leftist Democrats to put the letter R by their name, tell their voters they're Republicans, spend millions of dollars on TV ads, radio ads, and flyers, say, oh, vote for show so and so, who's actually a closet Democrat, quite frankly, like the people running against me right now, vote for them. They're a Republican. They'll stand up to the radical leftist. Vote for so and so. They'll, you know, fight against the Democrats that want to bankrupt and indoctrinate the next generation. But then once they get in office, they win. As a Republican, they've been colluding with the Democrats to destroy liberty. For the next generation of Texas and Texans, eyes are being opened like never before. I have more hope and optimism for the future of Texas because the Texas voters are now realizing the betrayal that's been happening at the hands of supposed Republicans. Democrats don't have to run and win, and they can't as Democrats, but they've been running and winning as Republicans and Texans are waking up. I've called. I think it's one of the greatest examples of voter fraud in American history. That's been going on too long. But a new day is coming.
Steve Bannon
We gotta break it. We're on Twitter. How do people get to you for your. For your liberty box?
Brian Harrison
That's right. Please go become a liberty bot today. Piss off a rhino. Do your civic duty. Follow me on X at Brian E. Harrison at Brian E. Harrison on X. Please like follow and share. And if you can, there's a link in that profile at Ryan E. Harrison on X. Click on that link. The establishment, because we've been so effective, my voice has become an existential threat to the liberal status quo. Please click that Link. Send me $5, $15, 500 5,000, 25,000 if you can. The establishment's trying to take me out in about one month from today in a Republican primary. I've got multiple, you know, Trump hating rhinos that are closet Democrats have been fighting for open borders and men and women's bathrooms. They want to take me out. They want to silence me because I've been the voice of patriots across the state and country. And posse, please know how grateful I am for you and Steve and the efforts to save Texas and save America.
Steve Bannon
Thank you, brother. Appreciate you. Great work. Grace and Mo, if you can, push out the Texas Tribune, another victory for the posse. We've made this the most important issue. Peter Schweitzer joins me. Peter, we blinked in Minnesota yesterday. We have to accept that. Rachel Maddow tells us that. But. And we've talked for the whole first hour about the coordinated effort there. Your book gives permission, structure to actually look at this as the war. It is the invisible coup. How American elites and foreign powers use immigration as a weapon. Folks, I'm going to be blunt. You need to buy this book and you need to buy multiple copies of this book today. You need to have one for yourself to highlight. But you need to send this to your friends and colleagues, particularly people when they see what we're doing on deportations that sit there and go, oh, this is so cruel. You're so mean.
Jim Rickards
Right?
Steve Bannon
You're not going to be able to do this. They need to read this book. Immigration, the invasion of the country was not chaotic. It was not anarchy. It was very well thought through. And it had not just foreign money, it had foreign support from Mexican government officials that have been playing the long game here. Everybody says, oh, the Mexican government's a bunch of buffoons. Far from it. Very sophisticated, very knowledgeable. Plus the Chinese Communist Party. And what you're seeing now on how do you get 15 or 20 million people out of here? The rubber meets the road in Minneapolis. And yes, we flinched yesterday. No doubt about that. Peter Schweitz is going to join us. I want everybody to go to Amazon right now or to your Bookseller. Buy a copy for yourself and a copy for your closest friend that hates maga. Short break, Peter Schweitzer. Next.
Jim Rickards
There's a lot of politicians that should be getting coal in their stockings for Christmas. But Birch Gold thinks as a smart planner, you deserve silver. That's why for every $5,000 you purchase between now and December 22nd, Birchgold will send you an ounce of silver free. Remember, silver is up over 60% this year and over $60 an ounce. You see, smart people diversify and have a hedge. That's why I encourage you to buy gold from Birch Gold. With the rate cuts from the Fed in 2026, the dollar will be worth less. And what happens if the AI bubble burst? Diversify. Let Birch Gold Group help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in physical gold. Let me repeat that. Physical gold. And for every $5,000 you buy, you'll get an ounce of silver for your stocking or for your kids. What a great way to teach them about saving smartly. Just text my name, Bannon B A N N o n to 989-898 to claim your eligibility for this offer. Again, text Bannon Bannon to the number 989-898 today. Because Birchgold's free silver with qualifying purchase promotion ends the 22nd of December of this year. Make sure you text Bannon 298-9898.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.
Steve Bannon
So the New York Times bestseller goes through midnight last night. The Warren Posse's Embrace. This book has been extraordinary. I've heard from so many of you. I've purchased a number of copies and given to people. The feedback is incredible. The clock restarts for next week's New York Times. We're going to make this number one last week and number one this week. Peter, it couldn't be better timing because the invisible coup ain't so invisible anymore. What your book is so important. The reason it's so important you give a permission structure to now look at what's really going on. Just don't look at the MSNBC and Rachel Maddow and see all this. This is a highly organized, highly choreographed every aspect of their state power backed by very sophisticated people in Mexico and the Chinese Communist Party. Foreign powers and global elites are financing this. And as we had Flynn on here talking about O' Keefe and Andy NGOs tweets, because those two guys are field commanders and they're telling. He says, you do not understand that this is a spiritual war for these Marxists. They're atheists. They want to destroy Western civilization. They want to destroy Christianity, and they have embraced it, and they're hard and they're not. They're relentless and they're not going to quit. Peter Schweitzer.
Peter Schweitzer
Yeah, no, that's right. And I would add to that that our foreign adversaries view it the same way. They view this as civilizational warfare. They say that, you know, I quote them in the book. They view Western Christian civilization as the fundamental thing that must be defeated because it emphasizes individual rights, it has different values than they value. And they want to defeat. And the way they're going to defeat this is. Is through immigration. Steve, in the late 2000s, it was very interesting government study. A lot of them are snooze fests, but this one was really, really interesting. They said, what were the biggest attacks on American history that were most successful? The three biggest attacks they described in terms of their damage to the United States were 9, 11, Pearl Harbor. And the third one they mentioned, Steve, was the Mariel Boat Lift. That's when. When Cuba expelled people into the United States through this refugee crisis. And what they pointed out in this study, Steve, was the problem with the Mariel Boat Lift. It was the most successful of the three attacks, because why? Well, we went and we destroyed Al Qaeda, or at least large elements of it. We went and destroyed the Japanese Empire in World War II. The problem when you use migration as a weapon is who do you bomb, who do you attack? What army do you go after? And that is what is being replayed in the United States writ large. It's not just, you know, a couple hundred thousand people from Cuba as the Marielle belt lift in 1980. You're talking about tens of millions of people that have been brought to the United States, encouraged to come here. And with them, they bring not only themselves and their family. They don't even just bring their culture and their language, Steve. They bring structures. They bring political networks and structures. And these are oftentimes militant political structures. Not all of them. Yes, some of them come here. They want the American dream. They want to work hard. They want to become like Americans. But those people are shunned by these foreign movements, and they focus on these radical structures that they say are designed to transform and change America fundamentally. So that's what we're facing. And you have these bizarre alliances that. That people don't quite understand. You've got hardcore, you know, Marxist activists who want trans rights working with Islamists working with atheist CCP members, working with people from the Marina Party of Mexico, working through the government apparatus. And they all have different views, but they unite around one thing and this is what they say to destroy the United States. That's their common goal. And they will split up the spoils later on. So when you look at what's happening in Minnesota, it's not just a local thing, it's not just a Tim Waltz thing. This is part of a global conflict and, and struggle of civilizations that's taking place in America's heartland. And we need to view it that way because all of these foreign adversarial powers, that is certainly the way they are viewing the conflict there and in the streets of America.
Jim Rickards
Yeah.
Steve Bannon
One thing about every page you turn on this, you realize these people are very smart. Don't think because what you see in the Somalians in the street, these people are very, very cunning. The people in back of it. Just give me a brief overview of the, both the Mexican officials, because people laugh at Mexico. Oh, it's a narco state. We have to go and interdict the drug trade. Well, you look what they did with fentanyl. You look at what they did with exacerbating the, the, the, the, the illegal alien invasion because they think this is their territory. Just tell me about the two foreign power adversaries, the Chinese Communist Party and the Mexican officials and business people working on this could not be smarter. They have thought this thing through. They have a strategy, and let's be blunt, they have 15 or 20 million illegal aliens just on Biden's watch in this country. So I would say, and flinched. I would say right now, folks, let me think about this, let me think about this. Oh yeah, I think they're winning in every page of this book. This is why you have to get this book. You're going to sit there and realize, wow, this thing is a lot deeper than I thought. This is going to be a lot tougher to overcome than I thought. We can do it. We have to do it. As I said, if we don't quit, we win. Just like in the revolution. We can do this and we really don't have a choice. When you read this book, you're going to sit there and go, we must do this. But Peter, talk about the government, the Mexican government side and the Chinese Communist Party side. They have thought this thing through to like the 10th level, sir.
Peter Schweitzer
Yeah, they, they have, Steve. And let me, I want to talk about this too. Let me just mention briefly, you talked about the Somalis if people view the widespread fraud and corruption in the Somali community just as, oh, this is just kind of a grift. This is just typical corruption. You're not paying attention and you're not listening to what these individuals are saying. One of the things I talk about in the book is how Muslim leaders are instructing those that live in the United States to commit fraud on public assistance because it's part of a tax that they say non Muslims pay to Muslims. So this is not just sort of rando corruption of third World grift. This is actually part of what these Islamist activists say you should do to wage war against the United States. But, you know, Mexico and China, two countries seem to have a lot of differences. And they do different methodologies, but they're very aggressive in how they carry this out. Look at Mexico. When I was on your show last week, Steve, I met read a couple of quotes from Mexican officials saying, we've got 40 million Mexicans in the United States. We are slowly retaking the territory that was taken from us. That was from a senior official who works for the President Sheinbaum of Mexico. Or a quote from Mexican senators. And I could read dozens of them saying the exact same thing, that mass migration is a form of warfare, immigration warfare against the United States to reclaim sovereignty over portions of the American southwest. Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah. They're talking about a dozen states. And this is not just sort of like, you know, people riffing. They actually have a structure designed to encourage political activism and a radical political activism by migrants living in the United States. And it's working. They set up something in 2024 called Magrante TV, Migrant TV, funded by the Mexican government, operated by the Mexican government. And what Migrant TV does is it beams over social media messages specifically for migrants living in the United States. In 2024, it was Kamala Harris is great. Donald Trump is a Nazi. When Donald Trump won, the coverage has been, here's how you defeat ice. Here's how you fight ice. ICE are a bunch of brown shirts. Donald Trump is, is a bigoted racist who hates you. So they are actively trying to radicalize migrants that live in the United States. The Mexican government, they also have this network of 53 consulates in the United States. Massive number. Great Britain and China have 6 and 7, respectively. Mexico has 53. And these migrant officials are getting involved in our politics. They met with Democratic party activists in 2024 on how to defeat Donald Trump. And they're also getting involved in organizing these violent anti ICE protests and on top of that, Steve, they also have these elected officials. Think about this. There are Mexican senators and members of their Chamber of Deputies, their congress, who live in the United States, who go to Mexico City, sit in their parliament, and their job is to is to represent Mexicans who are living in our country. And these individuals are also going around organizing these violent protests. I would note that there is a consulate in St. Paul, Minnesota, that has been working with some of the activist groups that are neck deep in this activism. So it's a very sophisticated effort. China's doing somewhat similar things, but in, in some respects in a more sophisticated way. They have exploited the birthright citizenship issue, which the Supreme Court is going to settle. And a lot of people look at that, Steve, and say, well, you know, somebody's kind of randomly happens to be here and they give birth to a child. What's the big deal if they're granted US Citizenship? No. China has an industrial scale model that they have been doing this for more than 10 years. They advertise and they they run articles in the People's Daily, the CCP main publication, telling members of the Chinese Communist Party elite, go to the United States, your child can get U.S. citizenship. They're encouraging them to do it. And we in the United States have no idea how many Chinese officials have done this because we don't track it. It's not on birth certificates. The Chinese government believes that over the last 13 years, every year, roughly 100,000 Chinese babies have been born in the United States who are then brought back to China where they are being raised. So do the math. That's more than a million, quote, unquote, U.S. citizens who are being raised in China. And guess what? When they turn 18, Steve, they're going to be able to vote, they're going to be able to give, to donate to political campaigns, they're going to be able to apply to government jobs. It's a massive, massive organized security breach. That's what's going on here.
Steve Bannon

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
Steve Bannon
Okay, Peter, where can we get the book? New York. Does the New York Times bestsellers come out tonight? Will we find out tonight or will be tomorrow or Wednesday? When do they actually put it out for the public to see?
Peter Schweitzer
So the public will find out tomorrow? We will find out tonight. We have been over the last eight days and, and a big part of that, I think, is this audience. We, we've been the number one book for all books sold on Amazon for eight straight days. So the response has been overwhelming. I thank everybody for picking up a copy, share it with friends, you buy it on Amazon, go to your local bookstore, get it wherever you can, and, and spread the word. We got interest from the highest levels of government for acting on this, but we need to continue to pressure them.
Steve Bannon
And we need, we need the audience to get up to speed. This will make you a lot smarter. The implication, Peter's too nice a guy. He's one of the nicest gentlemen I've ever met or worked with in my life. He's the deal here is the New York Times goes out of its way to make sure that conservative and particularly maga books are not on the New York Times bestseller list at all. Because they understand that generates interest from other people that might see it and say, well, hey, I'll go buy this, right? It looks like a lot of people are reading. It's topical. I want to get into it, Peter. They go out of their way to suppress this. Correct. They've got this weird algorithm for independent bookstores which all sell lefty material. They, they always have a tough time counting Amazon. So this is why you have to overwhelm the system with purchases. Correct.
Peter Schweitzer
Yeah, they, they, it's not actual total number of books sold, you would think on a bestseller list. That's how it's calculated. But you're right. They, they, they overweight books from independent bookstores, for example. And if you buy one on Amazon, it's considered less of a purchase for some reason. It is for independent bookstores. I've been fortunate. My last four books have all been times bestsellers. But you've got to over perform, radically over perform the number two, number three, number four, number five books in order to get on the list. If you have a message which is contrary to, let's say, the New York Times editorial approach, which I would dare say this book is.
Steve Bannon
Peter, one more time website where they can go of all your activities and your social media. Where they go.
Peter Schweitzer
Yeah, you can go to the drill down dot com. That's for our podcast, the Drill Down. You can go to at Peter Schweitzer on Twitter. You can go to the invisible coup.com or peterschweitzer.com for more information about the book and directions on how to order it.
Steve Bannon
Let's go. Okay, Peter, good luck tonight and we'll report tomorrow what happened on the New York Times Bestsellers. Thank you.
Peter Schweitzer
Thank you.
Steve Bannon
Sport one for yourself and one for your closest person, either friend or relative, maybe spouse, maybe significant other that doesn't agree with your magga leanings. Just have them read this book. It's all there. It's documented. I don't know, 20 or 30 pages of footnotes. Matt Schlapp, we're shifting war room to Texas. Coming this weekend to be there for five weeks to run up to the midterms. Also, I'm not sure a lot of people understand this CPAC this year is not going to be the nation's capital. You've had some other CPACs. I think you had it during COVID but CPAC is actually going to be in Texas. And people got to remember the beginning of President Trump's comeback started with a historic speech at CPAC, I think in March of 2020 in Orlando. Was it that President Trump came first kind of major address he gave. And it was like, hey guys, clear the way. Cause we're coming back and we're gonna come back. Big talk to me. You're shifting to Texas this year. Why are we not in the nation'?
Matt Schlapp
Well, you know, I'm, I live here in the nation's capital and I firmly believe we can't give up. We can't give up on this big city because it's all of ours. Right. We could maybe lose Chicago, San Francisco, Louisiana. We can't lose D.C. that being said, you know, it's impossible to conduct business in Washington D.C. this is now we got Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. full on woke, full on socialist. You know, you do a multi million dollar event like CPAC is in the nation's capital and they, you spend the whole time fighting with all the unions and everyone else who are trying to shut you down the whole time and eventually you just get exhausted of it. And also I have to say with everything that's happened out in the world, you know, we think that Texas and Florida are ours. We'll never lose them. That's a mistake. They're fighting like hell. The left is to infiltrate Florida and Texas. We're seeing this. You were just down in Texas, you understand this with what the radicalized Muslims are trying to do in Texas and others. And so, you know, we're going to join that fight. It'll be right after the primary in Texas, right after this big redistricting fight. These House seats are going to be critically important to hold on to where everybody from President Trump on down is going to get impeached in his progress will be slowed. Don't be mistaken if we lose, don't think that it doesn't matter to hold on to these majorities in Congress, because it does.
Steve Bannon
Oh, Charlemagne de God said yesterday we played the clip in the cold open that hey, when, when the first loss they're going to have, they're going to have, they call it denazification. They're going to have D MAGA trials. The city councilman in Minnesota yesterday said they want Nuremberg or Moscow show trials immediately from maga. So we gotta win and we got to continue to win. When is the date of CPAC and where can people go get tickets? Now I want to make sure I that people understand and start planning when this is going to be, where it's going to be and how they get access to it.
Matt Schlapp
So go to cpac.org it's going to be March 25th through the 28th. It's going to be in Grapevine, Texas, which is kind of like neutral ground between Dallas in Fort Worth. And you know, our intention is, as we always do at these events, to have a truly national event. It's increasingly taken on an international flavor because everybody around the world is rooting for Donald Trump to be successful. Because if freedom is extinguished in America, it doesn't have a shot anywhere around the globe that anybody who loves freedom around the globe is rooting for us all to succeed. And look, I think the end of March is right about the sweet spot for when we're going to have this conversation as a country of whether or not that we like a little bit of communism, Right? And I want to win this argument that we want to defeat communism. We started a center with Gordon Chang's leadership to defeat communism. I mean, this idea that we're going to appease and, and be bedfellows with these radicals is insane.
Steve Bannon
Not going to happen. By the way, the, the, the location in Grapevine is where we just had this conference. We put it together with those people starting on Christmas Eve. And I think we had 800 people, which is most you can get into that ballroom for a dinner, and another 500 people that want to come. So it's spectacular. A great location. The folks in Grapevine in North Dallas, and that's the center of this fight to make sure that Sharia law, this Proposition 10, passes us overwhelmingly. So, and this will be right afterwards, where do people go right now to find out more about it and where they go to get tickets? Because we know, particularly folks that are not in Texas, they have to plan on. On getting there and getting hotels, etc. Where do they go?
Matt Schlapp
Go to cpac.org the ticket prices. You know, we've done everything we can. We lower them every year because it's really just about getting people there. And I want you to know, Steve, that our theme is actions, not words. I think all of us have grown a little tired of people that just kind of like, pop into MAGA and then just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Talking is great. We got to get the talk right. We got to communicate effectively. Your show does that. But one of the things your show does uniquely in the stratosphere here is you guys put on hours of programming, but yet you're, you're, you are organizing and activating the grassroots on a regular Bas Peter's great book in getting people educated, but also getting them active on the ground in these primaries which are going to happen all over the country and defeating this terrible referendum in Texas, et cetera. So we have to, we have to. We have to start talking about what's working on the ground. It is great to have the presidency. Donald Trump is doing everything he possibly can do. No He's a man of history. We'll never have another president like him, I fear. And that puts a lot of pressure on the rest of us to make sure that we're ready to pick up this mantle. And CPAC is all a part of that.
Steve Bannon
Oh, yeah. Now, grassroots, we've seen this. It's on fire.
Mike Lindell
Now.
Steve Bannon
What's happening with this war room Texas and the grassroots. They had 150 people come before the dinner. Activists. We're having another huge meeting on the 5th right after we get there. No, the grassroots, they wanted to work on this. It was just bubbling below the surface. You can tell people want to participate in saving their country. They didn't want to be bystanders. They know they can't be bystanders. You're absolutely correct. Trump is at the level of Washington at the birth of the nation, Lincoln at the rebirth of the nation, Trump at the reclamation of reclaiming the nation. You're not going to see his like again, not in your lifetime. This, in most countries, this happens once in the history of the country. We've had it three times. And you're not going to. So you've got to. Number one, we got to maximize why he's here. Of course, I've got, I've got my own theories of how long that could last. That may differ from some people. But you got to maximize every day of it. And then you've got, you should see, I got slap on board. Then we got, then we've got to. We've got to. But it's got to be a grassroots, you know, movement. What is the. I think Lao Tzu said in his. He wrote this at the same time Socrates did back in, I think, 400 BC. He said the greatest leaders are when the work is accomplished and everything is done. The people turn around and say, look what we have achieved. And that's what CPAC's about, is to build that action network. So one more time, where do people go today to get tickets?
Matt Schlapp
Go to cpac.org go now and let's go save this country.
Steve Bannon
Fantastic. We'll go right now. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Matt. Appreciate you.
Matt Schlapp
Thank you.
Steve Bannon
Steve, match lap 25th to the 28th in Grapevine, Texas. God's country. Jake C. Wolf. God's country. Got a little ice on it. They've had some power problems, as has Nashville, Tennessee and others do. My beloved South. What do you got for sir? From my Patriot Supply.
Jake C. Wolf
Well, as you know and many others, there's been over a million dollar or a million people who have Been without power now who are experienced power outages as of yesterday we got a report of 800. Yeah, 800, 000 people still don't have power today. And they're estimating that a lot of these guys, it's going to take them over a week just to get electricity running back to their businesses, their homes. So here's what we got for you today Steve. We've got our grid Dr. 3300. This thing is a workhorse. I can have my refrigerator plugged into it, I can run my big 12 inch miter saw no problems, have batteries charging and everything. But that's not even the best part. The best part is that right now, especially for war room posse, when you guys buy the big unit, you can get our expansion pack there and it's going to double your watt hours. So those who are experiencing power outages, you're not going to experience that. The best part about that too, you can plug in five solar panels. It comes with one 200 watt solar panel. You can get additional four for it. That's a thousand watts power going back into it. Keep it charged. And also when it's charging you can actually use your unit. Most people, when you go to charge your unit you have to wait, you have to wait for it to charge. You can't use it. That's a load of crap. Ours you can use it while it's charging. The UPS pass through technology and even then on medical devices, the UPS system, universal protection supply, power supply, I think it is interruptible power supply. I apologize for that. If you have your medical device connected to the unit and it's plugged in the power power goes out, it'll automatically switch it to the power supply unit. That way your medical devices will not shut off, not even blink or anything. So this is a great unit and the fact that we're giving away an entire expansion pack with it just to get you guys started is a phenomenal deal.
Steve Bannon
Okay, hang on for a second. I want to hold you through the break. I want to go this one more time. It's so important. It's Dr. Maybe we can try to get her on. Dr. Carol Swain, I think put something up on getter. She's been down, she hasn't had power I think for four or five days. She's talking about it's freezing. Absolutely. So these are the types of things. Remember the reason my patriot supply is so important is that they kind of invented this industry of thinking ahead of getting ready, of preparation, of be prepared and that's why they got these cups of service reps. If you don't know anything, it's totally new to you. They'll walk you through everything. Okay, Jake Sebolf, we're taking a short commercial break. We're going to turn in the warmth.
Jake C. Wolf

Steve Bannon
So, Jake, this, this is what happened in the south is so catastrophic, obviously happening in New England. Now just give me, hit rewind, take a minute and give me that entire deal again because people are going to want to pile in this particularly the at what the additional freebies you're throwing in there.
Jake C. Wolf
Oh, absolutely. This is the best time to buy it because when you get our workhorse, the Grid Dr. 3300, which I remind you, while it's charging, you can use the unit. Most people don't have that capability. But when you come buy it from us, you're getting an expansion pack for free that doubles your power watt hours. You can buy more of those expansions, too. They just stack like bricks right on top of each other. You can put seven XPs underneath the one unit. It gives you about 18,000watt hours, but we're giving away one of them for free. That's 1500 bucks off your tab. You can use that money, purchase extra solar panels to make sure it stays charged. And this is the time to buy it. And I highly recommend to call in because we love hearing from the war room posse. You guys are the best at 866-229-0927. Just remember, you guys, this is I've used that thing. I've had lights, batteries, charging. I run my skill saw and 12 inch miter saw with my refrigerator plugged into it didn't even hiccup once. It's an incredible machine.
Steve Bannon
And just. And give me the thing. Yeah. And give me a thing about. Give me the thing about your medical devices. Hit me with that one more time.
Jake C. Wolf
Yep. So it has UPS and pass through technology, meaning say you have it plugged into the wall, it'll continue to stream power to your medical device. Now your power gets cut out, this thing will flip over and start using the battery from the device itself and your medical device will not shut off. UPS is called uninterruptible power supply. And pass through means that you can have it charging while using it. So most people don't have that ability on their units.
Steve Bannon
Yeah, 886-6229-0927 to speak to one of the sales rep right now or go to my Patriotsupply.com promo code. Bannon. Just go there today. Jake, thank you for, and thank you for sticking around to do this. Great offer. You guys always step into the breach when something's going on. My page is probably they are the axe in the space. They created this space. So go talk to the experts and they've got these great customer service people that will walk you through everything. Thank you. Jake Seawolf, Mike Lindell. Okay, Lindell, I want to bifurcate this. I want to talk to you. First off, Lindell put the fear of God in these guys because they thought when he ran for president, ran for governor, this is going to be some ridiculous mypillow thing. You know, it's some promotion for him to sell more pillows. They got the joke very quickly because Walls dropped out of the race. Now, clearly that is dealing with all the corruption and the revolution and the insurrection. But they realized he could not beat Mike Lindell, that Mike Lindell was going to get his hands on the receipts. So what did they do? Folks look down in Texas, this Corny Paxton thing, all the establishment is telling us is that and the government shutdown that's coming is that Schumer and these guys are putting hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars and taking the Senate. Amy Klobuchar ran for president. She's got the safest seat in the country in Minnesota. And what are they doing? They're taking Amy Klobuchar out of a safe seat and they're running her for governor against Mike Lindell. Now why is that? Because Mike Lindell puts the fear of God in them. And why is that? Because you can't Buy off Mike Lindell. You can't stop Mike Lindell. He's relentless. I've seen this guy in action. He is crazy, right? He is crazy. And this is what it takes today to win Trump. No, no, in a good way. Trump's crazy, too. I mean, this is what it takes. The apparatus is so against you. You can't be a conventional politician. This is why in this primary they're running these conventional politicians that go, what are you thinking about? This is. I said that speaker of the House or whatever she is, that's not got Klobuchar afraid, that didn't get malls afraid. They understand that you have righteous indignation and you're coming to basically save Minnesota because you're a native Minnesota and you love your state. Mike Lindell, right?
Mike Lindell
Yeah, that's exactly right, Steve. And, you know, and I want to talk a little bit about yesterday with, you know, the president getting a call from Waltz and then calling the mayor of Minneapolis. You guys, if you looked at, as. Do you call it blinking or whatever, here's what I say. I want it. Whatever we can do to get this push behind, to get back to the heart of the matter, which is the fraud, the biggest fraud this country has ever seen in history. Right now, they. They keep using this. Deflect, deflect, deflect, deflect. That's what they're doing. Well, you know what? This all happened under Amy Klobuchar's watch, too. So all this fraud happened under her watch. And also, everybody. You talk about the elections. Amy Klobuchar was the number one of the Democrats that wanted the voting machines gone. In the movie Kill Chain, she was all about that. Then she pivoted and said, we need to federalize our elections and put them all under one roof, and. Which would be the most horrific thing in history. So, Steve, I don't fear Amy at all. In fact, I welcome her. This will be the one time she's going to get exposed. And. And we have an opportunity here to not only get the Senate, but also to win the governor. And, and so I'm. I think it's the perfect timing. It's, it's. It's all lined up perfect. And you're right, they put her in there because they don't want me coming in with the receipts and being able to open this up. And you want to find fraud. There's me, fraud everywhere. We're going to get it all.
Steve Bannon
Okay, give me. Where do they go to find out more about your governor's rights? Because I want to, the audience really wants to get what's your next big sale is. So let's get to it. What's it where they go for governor.
Mike Lindell

We, we're, we're starting now. We're campaigning now. We're going to win this. There is no, there is no more important race for governor in this country. This is it. And so it's Mike Lindellgov.com.

If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish to be free from your credit card and other debt? Let's see if we can help you with that. If we could give yourself one gift this holiday season, would it be finally to get some relief from your credit card and other debt? I might have a solution. Here's why. Now's the time to make a move. This time of year, credit card and loan companies close out their books. They clean up past due accounts. They sell or write off the debt to clear their books. That means if you have credit card debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating and settling your account before you're in. That means right now, and I mean right now, you may actually have leverage. And Done With Debt knows how to use this to your advantage. They monitor lender trends and understand the year end pressure on creditors. They use that timing to negotiate hard on your behalf. Now's the time to get out from under crushing debt and interest payments to without bankruptcy or taking on new loans. Done With Debt goes to work for you Month one with one clear goal to reduce your total debt and leave you with more money every month. Get started now because your leverage may disappear at the end of the year. Chat with a Done with debt specialist@donewithdebt.com that's donewithdebt.com donewithdet.com do it today.
Air Date: January 27, 2026
Host: Steve Bannon (WarRoom.org)
Key Guests: Brian Harrison, Peter Schweizer, Matt Schlapp, Mike Lindell
This episode centers on what the panel perceives as an existential threat from "Sharia law" in Texas and discusses alleged abuses of the H1B visa program within the Texas public university system. The theme extends to a broader narrative of a coordinated “invisible coup” against American sovereignty and values, allegedly orchestrated by foreign powers and aided by U.S. elites. Bannon and his guests frame Texas as the decisive battleground for the future of Western civilization, highlighting recent grassroots victories, legislative priorities, and a push for immediate conservative action.
“The inmates have been running the asylums...the Texas government, our public universities in particular, were taken as a whole, the Texas government was actually and has been a top 10 user or abuser of the H1B program in the entire state of Texas—it's an absolute outrage.”
— Brian Harrison (03:42)
“Texas is at the forefront. We are the line in the sand for the future of Western civilization...Texas is the crown jewel in the left’s plan to corrupt and ultimately take over these United States of America.”
— Brian Harrison (08:10)
“When you use migration as a weapon...who do you bomb, who do you attack? What army do you go after? ...You’re talking about tens of millions of people...”
— Peter Schweizer (17:54)
“[Mexican officials] are actively trying to radicalize migrants that live in the United States...There is a consulate in St. Paul, Minnesota, that has been working with some of the activist groups that are neck deep in this activism.”
— Peter Schweizer (22:39)
“China has an industrial scale model...every year, roughly 100,000 Chinese babies have been born in the United States who are then brought back to China where they are being raised...”
— Peter Schweizer (27:13)
“Texas and Florida...we’ll never lose them. That’s a mistake. The left is fighting like hell to infiltrate Florida and Texas. We’re going to join that fight.”
— Matt Schlapp (34:15)
“We have to start talking about what’s working on the ground...CPAC is all a part of that.”
— Matt Schlapp (38:57)
“This is the primal scream of a dying regime...We’re going medieval on these people.”
“Results over rhetoric, right? That’s what the voters of Texas demand and...deserve.”
“Our foreign adversaries...view Western Christian civilization as the fundamental thing that must be defeated because it emphasizes individual rights...”
“Don’t think because what you see in the Somalians in the street [they are unsophisticated]...The people in back of it...could not be smarter. They have thought this thing through.”
“Actions, not words. I think all of us have grown a little tired of people that just kind of like, pop into MAGA and then just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.”
The tone is urgent, militant, and combative, with frequent use of metaphors describing political activism as warfare and defeat as existential. The language leans heavily on rallying, motivational tropes, and a strong “us-vs-them” dynamic ("the line in the sand for Western civilization").
This episode is a call to action for listeners who see themselves as the last line of defense for American values, focusing their energy on Texas as the decisive battleground for the nation’s future. The episode ties local Texas issues (university hiring, ballot initiatives) to a sweeping transnational narrative about immigration, culture, and national identity.
