Loading summary
Mayor of Minneapolis
On the one hand, it is a great relief. And the people that deserve the credit are the residents of Minneapolis. It's the 435,000 people. It's the tens of thousands of people that have been protesting peacefully in the streets, that have been standing up for their neighbors, getting groceries to people that are terrified to go outside. And I'm sure there is going to be relief because undoubtedly this has caused great destruction and catastrophe in our city. Two people tragically got killed. And in addition to that, we've had small local businesses that have shut down. They're losing between 10 and $20 million collectively every single week. And while this will be a road back, what I can tell you is that our city is going to show the same kind of resilience and grit that you've seen these last couple of months during this Operation Metro surge.
Political Commentator / Critic
I want to stay just up front and on the record. What we heard today and what we've seen over the last few days, for me, proves that this incursion into your state was an unmitigated failure. It was an abject, you know, dereliction of responsibility and duty by this administration. And the fact that representatives like yourself, the mayor and the governor stood the ground is very, very important for the people to understand as they. As they also took to the streets to make it very clear they did not want ICE or Tom Holman or anybody else there. So I understand that there's this cautious optimism out there. But then you have the administration, Mr. Homan, saying, oh, don't worry like cockroaches, we're going somewhere else. You think you may run us out of here now, we're going to go someplace else. What can you warn people about a potential infestation of ICE and Tom Homan and others into coming into their jurisdictions and how they should prepare, prepare themselves and gird themselves for what will be a fight ahead.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
Yeah, thank you so much for having me. And I think that. That you kind of present the, you.
Steve Bannon
Know, the mixed emotions, the conflict of.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
Today for us, because we are celebrating today in Minneapolis. We are celebrating the fact that, you know, this authoritarian invasion of mass secret police, of a basically a paramilitary force.
Steve Bannon
Couldn'T stand up to the resilience and.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
Resistance and unity of our community.
Steve Bannon
And so we are savoring the sweetness.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
Of that today, and we are hoping that the thousands of families whose kids aren't going to school, the people who are skipping medical appointments, moms who are talking about having birthing at home without attendance, are able to fully move back into their lives today.
Steve Bannon
And we want them to feel that.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
Relief and that sweetness of the withdrawal.
Mayor of Minneapolis
I think what you saw is you saw a federal government and an administration that thought that they were going to break the people of Minneapolis down. They thought that we were going to back down and sort of kowtow to whatever it is that they were looking to get done, not just locally in Minneapolis, but nationwide. They were looking to implement a national agenda based on coercing us to change local policy. And here's the thing. We didn't. The people of Minneapolis stood up. They stood up for their neighbors. They loved on each other. And I think that's the kind of patriotism that is ultimately going to get us through this. We are always fighting on our back.
Steve Bannon
Foot because no one will ever pick up the good stories that we do.
Mayor of Minneapolis
You know, we joke all the time.
Steve Bannon
That one of the major criminal organizations we fight, they have better playbooks than.
Mayor of Minneapolis
We do when it comes to making ICE look bad. Sometimes the media is our biggest enemy.
Steve Bannon
Eugene.
Political Commentator / Critic
Jokes are supposed to be funny. So that's 1, 2. Talking about journalists as a criminal enterprise.
David Zier (Military Correspondent)
Right.
Political Commentator / Critic
The enemy. That is language that is coded. It tells and signals to people who don't like the reporters already, who's allowed to be beat up, who's allowed to be attacked and yelled at. But also it tells you how this administration thinks about accountability.
Forrest (New Federal State Representative)
Right.
Political Commentator / Critic
To be very clear, the people who recorded both the shooting of Alex Preddy and of Renee Good, those were people who were just there. They weren't reporters. The video that came from that were not reporters. And what the representative has just been talking about, what we've seen in Minnesota, is normal people doing most of the covering of what's happening. So he's not just upset at the. Upset at reporters like me and others who hope for accountability in this country. He's also mad at the American people who do the same thing, who pull out their phones and record the things that they feel like this administration is doing to them, to their communities. And I think it tells you everything you need to know about powerful people when their biggest concern is being held accountable by the people that pay their bills. Your office, among other offices, were subpoenaed by the federal.
Steve Bannon
By the Justice Department in the course of what they say is a criminal investigation.
Political Commentator / Critic
Many people saw that as obviously pretextual.
Steve Bannon
As a form of intimidation. Would you have any updates on the.
Michael Kunzler (Pharmacy Entrepreneur)
Status of said investigation?
Mayor of Minneapolis
I don't. What I will say is never in a million years would I think that a great American city, the city that I Love in Minneapolis would be invaded by our own federal government. Never in a million years would I thought I would see constitutional rights stripped away. And I certainly never thought that I was going to get investigated by the Department of Justice, a department that at least historically, I have had great respect for under both Republican and Democratic administrations. But here's the thing. It's not about having committed a crime or something. It is about intimidation. It is about bullying people and communities to get them to back down. Here's the thing in Minneapolis, we're not going to be intimidated. I'm not going to be intimidated. We're going to stand up for our neighbors. And thankfully not because of me, but because of the tens of thousands of people that have been standing up for our collective family. I think they're the big reason ultimately that they decided to shift bases here and end Operation Metro Surge.

The federal judge has blocked the Pentagon from punishing Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona for participating in a video reminding service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has been pursuing steps to reduce the senator and retired Navy captain's rank and pay over that video. But the judge, a nominee of President George W. Bush, said those actions violate Kelly's First Amendment rights. Quote, this court has all it needs to conclude that defendants have trampled on Senator Kelly's First Amendment freedoms and threatened the constitutional liberties of millions of military retirees.
Steve Bannon
It's obvious, but and important that it was.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
A lot of these things are obvious.
Steve Bannon
So obvious.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
The judge goes on to write, quote, after all, as Bob Dylan famously said, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. To say the least, our retired veterans deserve more respect from their government, and our Constitution demands they receive it. Secretary Hegseth is vowing to repeal writing on X cop. Quote, sedition is sedition, Captain. Sedition is sedition, Captain.
Steve Bannon
What a child. Seriously, what a child, Captain.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
Yet, what a child.
Mayor of Minneapolis
But absolute child.
Political Commentator / Critic
Some breaking news out of Congress. The Department of Homeland Security is all.
Legal Analyst / Commentator

Political Commentator / Critic

Steve Bannon

Steve Bannon
Here's Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer today.
Political Commentator / Critic
When asked why the negotiation process stalled. Just ask the Republicans.
Steve Bannon
They're the ones holding this up. We're on the side of the American people. We showed today overwhelmingly.
Political Commentator / Critic
The reason the grand jury so rarely return findings of no true bill is not that grand juries are suddenly rising up and having their moment. The reason is as Karen Says that the prosecutors pre screen and filter out the cases that they're taking to the grand jury. That's why we're seeing grand juries have these moments right now. That's why this is occurring. I mean, the case involving the lawmakers, we're talking about bringing a criminal case. That is for, number one, pure political speech and number two, where the content of that speech is follow the law.
Chuck Gray (Wyoming Secretary of State / Congressional Candidate)
Right.
Political Commentator / Critic
It says a lot that the grand jurors in that room that average citizens and have more common sense than Department of Justice lawyers.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
So how do you think lawyers walked into a grand jury with this case?
Political Commentator / Critic
I think the lawyers who walked into the grand jury with that case are doing the bidding of superiors. They are doing the work of political appointees for political purposes. Maybe that's performative, maybe it's prosecutorial, maybe it's some of both. But it is all about what they are being told to do and not at all about the law, not at all about democracy, not at all about our system of government. And we begin with breaking political news.
Steve Bannon
Involving the race for Arizona governor.
Mayor of Minneapolis
Republican Karen Taylor Robeson is out.
Steve Bannon
She previously ran for governor in 2022.
Political Commentator / Critic
But lost the Republican primary to Kerry Lake. Robeson was seen as a formidable candidate because of her ability to fund her own campaign.
Steve Bannon
This July, she was set to face Republican Congressman Andy Biggs and David Schweikart.
Political Commentator / Critic
In the Republican primary.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
In a statement, Robeson said, quote, we cannot afford a divisive Republican primary that drains resources and turns into months of intraparty attacks. It only weakens our conservative cause and gives the left exactly what they want. A fractured Republican Party heading into November. With so much on the line in 2026, I am not willing to contribute to that outcome.
Steve Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians, 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 line? MAGA Media.
Chuck Gray (Wyoming Secretary of State / Congressional Candidate)
I wish in my soul, I wish.
Steve Bannon
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. Bannock. The 13th of February in the year of our Lord 2026. Remember after the, you know, the beginning of the second term, we had all the backup of the four years in the wilderness with CRA and Stephen Miller's America First Law and Brooks Rollins America First Policy Institute and of course Mark Meadows and the team over at CPI Inheritage Project 2025. We had all the CRS, had all the, excuse me, executive orders. He had Russ Vote coming in, even had, you know, although I was not big fan of the effort because I thought I was misplaced the you had a doge, all of it. And then the second phase of that was to seize the institutions and do it with urgency. Right now you're seeing the institutions, whether it institutions of the Senate, whether this is radical judiciary, the, the defense contractors, they're trying to encircle the White House and President Trump. We're going to get into all this this morning, but the breaking news out of Arizona. We have the great Andy Biggs by phone. Congressman Biggs. Congressman Biggs, kind of a shocking development in the Arizona Republican primary, which is we're in Texas, the Texas Senate primary in the Arizona governor's race are the two top races of this cycle. Karen Robeson stepped down or at least put it on hiatus yesterday. Sounds like she's out of the race. Your thoughts, sir?
Congressman Andy Biggs
Yes, Steve, I was very pleasantly surprised that I didn't know that was going to happen. But it just leaves me as the only, you know, Donald Trump, President Trump and Charlie Kirk and there's candidate in the race and I have a substantial lead. And she said something really classy in there. She said it's time basically to clear the field. And, and let's, let's, let's win this against Katie Hopps. And I think she's right. And I'm, and I was grateful for that comment. And that's who I'm focusing on. Steve is beating Katie Hobbs.
Steve Bannon
Well, we think there's going to be some, we think there's going to be some developments. Congressman, can you just hang on. We got to take a short commercial break because we had a long cold open. I want, I want to talk to you about beating Katie Hobbs. I think there's going to be some developments today in Maricopa county that we're following very closely. Also, we got to ask Congressman Biggs, one of the great fighters we've got on Capitol Hill about this situation with DHS shutting down. Looks like because the senators all went to the Munich Security Conference. Wade Miller is going to join us about that. We're also going to have the former secretary state of Wyoming had on the show a lot. One of the top voter integrity folks in the country. He is now running for Congress. Chuck Gray is going to join us here momentarily. Andy Biggs, we got a pack show also going to go to Fort Bragg. The president's going down today to thank the troops that were part of that special forces operation in Venezuela. So we're packed wall to wall today. We're gonna take a short commercial break. Make sure to take out your phone, find out why gold is a hedge. Maybe crypto hasn't been, but gold has. Take your phone out and text Bannon B A N N O N 989-898. Get the ultimate guide. It's no obligations, totally free. And you get access to Philip Patrick, who is also going to be in the show this morning in the second hour to talk about gold and, and the price of gold and where gold may be heading. Short break. Congressman Andy Biggs on the other side, a new year means new financial goals like making sure your savings are secure and diversified. Will this be the year you finally listen to me and talk to someone from Birch Gold Group? Honestly, they're great people. I appreciate their educational approach and their understanding of macroeconomics. There are forces pushing the dollar lower and gold higher, which is why they believe every American should own physical gold. So until February, if you are a first time gold buyer, Birchgold is offering a rebate of up to $10,000 for on qualifying purchases. To claim eligibility and start the process, just Text Bannon at 989-898. Birch Gold can help you. Roll an existing IRA or 401K into an IRA in gold and you're still eligible for a rebate of up to $10,000. Make right now your first time to buy gold and take advantage of a rebate of up to $10,000. When you buy by by February 27th, text my name, Bannon 989898 and claim your eligibility today. Remember, text Bannon B A N N O N to 989-898. You've got to the end of February 27, February to qualify up to a $10,000 rebate. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. Okay. Welcome back. I know the audience. We do those cold opens because we curate all this other news that you would never see. We understand it's torture. And then we always go out in the A block now, at least for a while with with Bruce Springsteen, streets of Minneapolis. We do follow with Natasha Owens, the Boss. But we gotta torture you gotta make sure you're, you're hard and tough coming out of the A block. Andy Biggs, as you know, when you announced you gotta run for governor, I spent a long time saying, andy, Congressman Big sure, you're one of the few good guys, we gotta keep you. And you told me at the time, you said, steve, I think where we're going to go is that this republic is going to have to be saved really at the state level to buck up what's happening at the federal government. Walk me through that. Because I think given what happened to Save America act, these senators just having a cursory vote and then leaving from Munich to the security conference to pal around with the globalists, people are sitting there going, what are we doing? And it may be you were quite prescient, sir.
Congressman Andy Biggs
Yeah, here's the way I saw it at the time. I've come to the conclusion that Congress is irredeemable short of an act of God. Okay. And so if you're going to say that the states, if you had enough governors that were going to honor and respect the 10th Amendment and push back on the feds on everything from mandates to policy to these funding, these massive takings of property within states, if the states were actually to push back and make the assertion of their sovereign integrity, it seems to me that's the way that we're going to save it. Because the spending is, you get spending hawks like myself and there's probably 15. There's a lot of people who talk a good game, but there's really very few people who are willing to go in there and say we got to control spending, for instance, that we have to shrink the federal bureaucracy, for instance. They talk about it, but think about this. You start talking about, let's say defense, they've never passed an audit and you know what they tell me? Oh, we need to give them more money. That's. Wait, wait a second. They've never even passed the audit. Why are we giving them more money? And it just rolls that way and it's out of control at the federal level. So that's why I think the states, if this country is going to be saved and be a long lasting empire of freedom nation that is liberty minded, that people can actually fulfill the measure of their creation from God, then it's going to be the states.
Steve Bannon
So talk to me about then the Andy Biggs, Katie Hobbs race. You know, it's, I'm not trying to jump ahead of things, but you're clearly not just running a primary or already setting up to position. Katie Hobbs in the general talk to me about Andy Biggs versus Katie Hobbs.
Congressman Andy Biggs
Well, the way it works is policy wise. Katie's been disastrous for the state. We've, we've, we've gone from 4th to 47th in job creation. She's mismanaged our water. And you know, Steve, you know Arizona really well, and you got to have water, you got to have water to live. You got to have water to grow. And they've mismanaged that. They've killed the American dream in Arizona. The only place that has homes more expensive than us is the sanctuary city bubbles and California altogether. And we've got to. And that's because of the policy she's put in place in a very, very short time. And so I want to restore the American dream. And the way you restore the American dream is you make housing more affordable. You make everything more affordable and you get the government out of the way so that creative, entrepreneurial spirit, independent spirit of Arizona will go forward and Arizona will become, we're on our way to becoming. If we had a governor that would foster this, we would become the technological innovator of the, of the world, the entire world. And that's, that's where we're going to go. And, and we're going to get government out of people's lives.
Steve Bannon
Well, all the advanced chip design is going to go there from Taiwan and other places. So it's going to be a tech railhead, a tech hub. Congressman Biggs, where do people find it now that Robeson's dropped out and called for unity? Where do people go to find out more about your governor's race? And what is your social media, sir?
Congressman Andy Biggs
Yeah, if you go to Bigs for Arizona dot com, Bigs for Arizona dot com. You spell out four F O R Bigs for Arizona dot com. You can actually get there and, and you'll have access to all of everything that we have.
Steve Bannon
Congressman Biggs, do you have social media? Do you remember your Twitter or Getter handle? Do you have that.
Congressman Andy Biggs
Oh, gosh, it's stumped. I don't, man.
Steve Bannon
We'll get, we'll get it up. We'll get it up. We'll get it up. Congressman. Well, we've got it. We'll put it up on the screen. Congressman Biggs, I know you get a, a big engagement this morning, a big event. Get to it and we'll chat later. Congressman Andy Biggs looks like at the forefront of this all important, I think this Texas Senate primary in the Republican Party and the, in the Arizona governors were the two, two of the biggest ones. Let's go to Fort Bragg, home of the 82nd Airborne. Our own David Zier is there. David, the commander in chief is coming down today to address the troops that serve so valiantly all over the world. In this case, I think it was Venezuela. Talk to us what's going to happen today.
David Zier (Military Correspondent)
So Trump will be here with FLOTUS as well at about 1:30. It'll be a relatively quick ceremony here. He's going to greet and meet with special operators who participated in Operation Absolute resolve. You know, JSOC, Delta Force SEAL teams participated, the 160th Special Operations Aviation Resources Regiment, the Night Stalkers, you know, penetrated Venezuelan airspace undetected, jamming their stuff in a mission that was just a little over two hours. An extraordinary operation. HEG says that it was most sophisticated military operation in history here. And the troops on the ground here say Fort Bragg is a place where the 82nd Airborne could be anywhere in 18 hours. And when the president dials 91 1, the 82nd Airborne answers. And we're just outside the paratrooper training facility here with the mock door set up and the fake static lines. And on the other side of the building where Trump's going to speak is the flight line where they load up to jump out of our C17 and our C130s here. But it's a pretty incredible Delta force, established almost 50 years ago, has been shrouded in secrecy, participated in this Venezuela capture of Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Just an incredible operation here in Fort Bragg. 250 square miles, 50,000 troops, 200,000 people depend on the operations that go on on this base. And it's adjoining Pope Air Force Base, now known as Pope Field, in pretty much a joint military operation that can get and globally military airlift our paratroopers any and anywhere in the world in less than a day. Important day here. We're also home to the 18th Airborne here, the US Army Special Operations Command and, you know, JSOC and SOCOM, SOCCOM, which was SOCOM, I'm sorry, which was formed, you know, after Desert One and Operation Eagle Claw that was aborted when we had the crash in the desert in Iran and we lost those seals in Grenada. So now we can dip into any of the services, put the teams together necessary to take on these incredible missions.
Steve Bannon
Well, the great Delta Force, you know, after Eagle Claw, like I said, I was a junior naval officer on a combatant in the carrier strike group, we call them carrier battle groups in the day in the North Arabian Sea. And I think it was Operation, I think it was blue light. They didn't really have a formal, they just kind of pieced it together. And after that the lessons learned were we got to get organized here. We had, that was the beginning of Delta Force. Then of course you had the Joint Command, Special Forces Command. It's so sophisticated. See in Venezuela, the expeditionary capability of the United States military is not just second to none. It's, it's, it's almost breathtaking and it's organization, valor and the ability to hit real quickly. David, I know you're all over this too. Any updates? You know, it's pretty amazing. Three hour meeting with Bibi Netanyahu and the president and really nothing come out about it. And of course the Turks met in with the, I think the Persians and the Iranians met with, in Doha with various people. No real, nothing leaked out of that. Any assessment of Iran? Give me a minute on what you're hearing.
David Zier (Military Correspondent)
I don't have any further updates for you other than, you know, that second strike group joining them over there and we have to wait and see, you know, what the approach is going to be here. And you know, it's, it looks like, you know, there's more military presence over there. So it may not just be a simple strike if there is one, taking out, you know, targets from, you know, our B2 bombers. But if I have anything relevant, I will pass it on to you immediately.
Steve Bannon
We are covered. The president is going to say a few remarks today right there. I think there is going to be a public address. I know he's meeting with the families, but we're covered on Real America's Voice. What time is that going to take place?
David Zier (Military Correspondent)
1:30Pm Eastern Time. And Melania Trump is going to speak as well. Supposedly she has an announcement to make. I'm not sure the content of that, but they're off to Mar a Lago right after this. But an important stop to honor these guys because nobody could carry out these operations across the globe like they can here at a Fort Bragg and Fort Campbell in Kentucky. It's pretty amazing.
Steve Bannon
Fort Campbell, Mo. Bannon was stationed there for 101st Airborne, 82nd down at Fort Bragg in North Carolina near Southern Pines in Fayetteville and of course up at Fort Campbell in, in Kentucky, Tennessee. David Zier, Social Media where do people get you, sir? Big day for the President. Big day for the troops down there.
David Zier (Military Correspondent)
Yeah. At Dave Zier on X and David Zier on everything else. And thank you so much, Steve and I'll give you some updates as I get them.
Steve Bannon
Thank you, brother. Okay, we're gonna be covering that Talk live about 1:30. Cover the entire president's visit, everything that's visible. Like I said, he'll probably punch out early after that and be down in Mar A Lago for the weekend. Birch Gold. Gold is up. It's down around 5,000, right? From 1,000.

That would make it a lot harder for millions of Americans to vote, and it is working its way through Congress. Yesterday, House Republicans rushed to pass the SAVE act, which requires very strict proof of citizenship to vote. And while it's highly unlikely to make it through the Senate, it is raising serious red flags. It all comes comes as the president remains fixated on rewriting the 2020 election. A newly unsealed affidavit shows that much of the evidence used to justify the FBI seizure of Fulton County's ballots relied on debunked theories and that search, it was spurred by a referral from Kurt Olson. You might not know this name. He was a staunch 2020 election denier, also known as Trump's new Director of Election security.
Steve Bannon
That's about a 99%1 with Republicans, about 86% with Democrats. Except Democrat politicians, because they cheat on elections. And then you have no mail in ballots, and there would be no mail in ballots. Very important. You know, we're the only country in the world that does a system like we do. We're the only country in the world that has mail in ballots. The way we do this is unbelievable. It guarantees cheating. So it's no mail in ballots. With the exception of disability, illness, military, or if you're traveling, you can get an exemption. You know, if you happen to be out of the country for a good reason, you can have an exemption. So with.
Legal Analyst / Commentator
This is all about massive voter suppression, voter suppression at a national level. You know, as a U.S. attorney, I was used to looking at efforts to suppress the vote locally by county in smaller numbers when statewide ID acts became popular. Following the Supreme Court's decision in Shelby county vs. Holder, which gutted Section 5 of the Voting Rights act, we saw efforts to make it more difficult for people to vote in certain states like Alabama and Arizona. Now we're watching Donald Trump try to do it on a national level. He can read the polls just like we can. He knows that his party, party is underwater for the midterm elections and perhaps beyond. So this is nothing more than an election, an effort to let politicians choose their voters rather than to let voters elect their representatives.
Steve Bannon
Okay, Chuck Gray, we're going to have a lot about this this morning because I believe there's active could be activity in Maricopa county today. There's been activity in Georgia. We're going to have one of the lawyers that knows Georgia Cole about this very topic join us at the top of the hour at 11 o'. Clock. I want to go to Chuck Gray. Chuck, you've been. We had you on the show as the Secretary of State of Wyoming. You've been at the tip of the spear of this fight. I think you actually testified on the SAVE Act. You're now running for Congress. The House passed this and the Senate took a perfunctory vote and then went to Munich. Your thoughts about this entire situation of voter integrity, election security, all of it, sir?
Chuck Gray (Wyoming Secretary of State / Congressional Candidate)
Well, the Save America act is so important. Proof of citizenship for registering to vote and voter ID. Two years in a row this past, the U.S. house and the Senate has refused to take a vote on it. Just a lot of momentum over the last few weeks. Voter ID got added to the Save America act and the US House repassed the bill with voter ID in there. In addition to proof of citizenship for registering to vote. These are important issues that over 90% of Americans support. Wyoming has been at the forefront of implementing both of these reforms. We were the first state in the nation to have an ironclad proof of citizenship for registering to vote requirement. And yes, testified this week at the U.S. congress about how important it is, how these bills are implementable and how out of control the radical left is in their wrong narrative about these bills. We have to continue to stand for the truth on the fact that these are implementable, people want them and they're consistent with advancing common sense election integrity across our country.
Steve Bannon
You know, this is why we had you on. You know, we were fighting the fight because the folks in Wyoming were inspirational to others. Remember, the Georgia folks dug in. You're gonna hear from Harry McDougald, the lawyer. They hung in there for five and six years on this. Getting sued, threatened with prison, all of it. And you guys in Wyoming said no. Here's what we have to do to make sure we're going to do it in Wyoming as inspiration for the, for the country. Talk to me about what you guys actually implemented, kind of these common sense rules, which it seems to me 85%, when you look in the polling, 85% of the nation backs it. What did you guys do in Wyoming?
Chuck Gray (Wyoming Secretary of State / Congressional Candidate)
Proof of citizenship for registering to vote, banning ranked choice voting, banning third party interference in our elections, commonly called zuck bucks. All of those reforms we got done. And that's also there's another companion bill called the Mega act that Chairman Brian Stile, the House Admin Committee is putting forward in the House. So we're getting a lot of movement in the US Congress on these baseline measures that are consistent with what the federal government has done with NVRA and HAVA that passed in the 90s and early 2000s. So we need to advance these baseline election integrity measures. And that's why I'm running for Congress. One of the many reasons is that I think we need to get this across the finish line nationwide. And the reality is getting these measures through the Congress is the only way we're going to get these things done in many of the blue states where there is just that the radical left has taken control of their state legislatures.
Steve Bannon
So, Chuck, we had. We start with Andy Biggs, a friend of the show, and Somebody you've had on for years all the time. Something may happen in Maricopa county today. I'm being, I'm not being told, but I think it's out in the Ethereum. He's actually going, he's one of our great worries in the House. He's going back to Arizona, run for governor because he said, hey, I think we're at the save the state level. You've had such an impact in Wyoming and Wyoming has been such an inspiration to the rest of the country. Why now are you saying, hey, I think I've got to go to D.C. to clean out this mess.
Chuck Gray (Wyoming Secretary of State / Congressional Candidate)
We need great MAGA representatives in both settings, both the state and the federal, and we need members of Congress that are going to advance presidents President Trump's agenda and, and really, really be vigorous in that. I, I've been in 10 years in Wyoming state government as a state legislator and as Wyoming Secretary of State. But I really think there is a role at the federal level in the Congress. And so I, I think you need great people in both. I really believe that and want to, want to get involved in the federal issues and this is a way to do that.
Steve Bannon
Where do people go to find out about your campaign? Where they find out about. On your social media. As you know, you're beloved by this audience, so people want to find out more. I think a lot of people didn't realize you're running for Congress. Where do they go, Sir?
Chuck Gray (Wyoming Secretary of State / Congressional Candidate)
Chuck for wyoming.com you also spell out F O R for that just like andy's website. Again, chuck4wyoming.com and onx as well, with Chuck for Wyoming for spelled out as the handle.
Steve Bannon
Chuck, make sure you send our regards to all the folks in Wyoming. Been a great inspiration of getting this mess sorted on, on, on election integrity. Real leadership. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
Chuck Gray (Wyoming Secretary of State / Congressional Candidate)
Thanks, Steve. Thanks for having me on.
Steve Bannon
Biggs is going back to Arizona and Chuck Gray is going to go to dc. Michael Kunzler. I got Michael Kunsler. So, Michael, I have not seen a response on a offer like my phone blew up yesterday and I want to take a few minutes and just walk through. People go, well, hang on, what is this? This is an online pharmacy. I don't have to get shaken down by these big pharmaceutical conglomerates or the McKesson's of the world. So just walk through. How did you get the idea, what exactly are you? An online pharmacy. But you got doctors, everybody certified. You can get, you can get all the medication that you need certified. Just walk through. How'd you have the idea. And what exactly is All Family Pharmacy?
Michael Kunzler (Pharmacy Entrepreneur)
All Family Pharmacy is a small business, family owned. The name just so happens to match obviously what we are as a family. But, you know, All Family Pharmacy works with licensed physicians. They're licensed in every state. We're licensed in about 45 states. We have a few pending. Obviously we all know which one is probably the main one that's pending. California, the most difficult state to always work with. But we came up with 47 just because we love the direction that, you know, America's going in right now. Things are getting better for people. You know, business is picking up. Ivermectin sales are picking up consistently. People are becoming more comfortable purchasing the medication without the repercussions of their doctor or the regulators within their state. So we feel like this holiday weekend is a great time for people to take advantage of 47% off medications like ivermectin, mebendazole, hydroxychloroquine. And we also decided to throw in a couple of the biohacking drugs, NAD plus, which is the battery that runs your cells. It's a wonderful, wonderful supplement to try if you have not tried it and you do not have cancer or not have had cancer in the past. It is something I highly suggest for everyone. Even in flu season. This will be the COVID fatigue that you get from long Covid. It'll beat the flu fatigue after five days of laying in be, you know, wondering should I have gotten vaccination? I've not gotten vaccinated. We have medications and supplements that are going to make you forget about all these vaccines that don't work anymore. And I think that's the main purpose of this sale is to promote medications that we feel work, get people comfortable with them, let them try them in a safe and effective manner and then, you know, hopefully they'll continue purchasing them down the line.
Steve Bannon
You know, medical freedom and informed consent. It's just not about big pharma. It's also about the distribution system. The distribution system really has an iron grip on this. This is what you guys why we found it so fascinating of what you as an entrepreneur. We're trying to break just I want to make sure people let's go through the steps because this is going to be, you know, particularly for guys like me and the boomer generation.
Congressman Andy Biggs
Right.
Steve Bannon
Just walk us through for the younger folks is probably easy. Walk us through either online or by calling what are, what's the process and where the steps.
Michael Kunzler (Pharmacy Entrepreneur)
Sure. So you go directly to our website, all of the medications that are 40% off, they are listed. You'll see it in red ink. It'll tell it's 47% off. We discounted every product that is already on that sale so that you don't have to worry about the coupon code. We're not here to try and, you know, get people to come to our site and just purchase it at full price. You get the discount regardless of who you are as an American. So you go to the website, you choose the medications that you're interested in looking at. We get you. You got to fill out the medical form, the shipping information, and the prescription information. That's typical legal language here for a pharmacy. We're going to send that form to a physician. A physician is going to review it. They'll contact you as necessary, and then they'll send us a prescription, approved or denied. If it's denied, we give you a call, or they give you a call letting you know why they feel it's not safe for you. If it's approved, we get the prescription. We ship the medications out with FedEx today or overnight. If it's an emergency, we'll overnight it to you. If it's FedEx today, we'll shoot it out with anywhere in the nation in two days. It's pretty easy, pretty simple. It's safe. You know, you don't. It's secretive. We're not going to sit there and, you know, email your doctor telling them what medications you're ordering. That's not our duty. It's your due diligence to talk to your doctor if you feel like sharing that information. We feel it's necessary. We understand how doctors, you know, think, and it's unfortunate that some of them want to shoot down a lot of these drugs, but, you know, we want them to open mind like we do.
Steve Bannon
And you've got certified physicians that'll, that'll walk through with the customers, the patients, all of that. One more time. Phone number. Where do you call right now? And if you go online, where you go online, what you got to tap.
Michael Kunzler (Pharmacy Entrepreneur)
In 561-717-6794 is the phone number. You can find it on our website@allfamilypharmacy.com Bannon go right to the site. Everything is discounted already for you. Made it easy. And it's until February 17th.
Steve Bannon
A huge, huge 47% off. Just incredible. Of course, he passes daily on the overhead from the big companies that they save you by being online. Michael, thank you. Thank you for starting this. Thank you for driving. We know everything's tough as a small entrepreneur, but thank you for making this amazing deal available to the war in posse. We appreciate it.
Michael Kunzler (Pharmacy Entrepreneur)
Thanks, Steve. Have a great weekend.
Forrest (New Federal State Representative)

Steve Bannon

The this is the creation of a small institution, hopefully becomes a big institution as you see them springing up all over the place to counter the the established order.

The judge goes on to write, quote, after all, as Bob Dylan famously said, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. To say the least. Our retired veterans deserve more respect from their government and our Constitution demands they receive it.
Steve Bannon
Did Mika just say the Dylan song you don't need because we're playing the, the Bruce Springsteen song to drive you nuts today. Of course, we counter that with Natasha Owens's hit that was the number one hit of the Boss, which is her counter to the streets of Minneapolis. Did Morning Mika just say you don't need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind blows? I don't want to bring up for those of us of a certain age that that was the, that that was the, the organizing principle behind the Weathermen, which were a radical revol that deployed violence. I find it quite odd that Morning Joe is sending. You could not signal not noise more than that these radicals in the streets and this is what we're talking about. This is an institutional blowback. I want to bring in Forrest from the new federal state. Peter Schweitzer's book the Invisible Coup is three weeks in a row, Folks, as great as Peter Schweitzer is, he's never had a book like this three weeks in a row. New York Times number one bestseller. Remember, they always suppress the count of the conservative books. The Invisible Coup, How American elites and foreign powers use immigration as a weapon. The lead villain here, as bad as Mexico is, and it's bad, the lead villain is the Chinese Communist Party, Peter Navarre. Peter Schweitzer says straight out the Chinese Communist Party is trying to use mass immigration as a weapon in unrestricted warfare to destroy the United States from within forest. There's a certain individual I don't think we've highlighted enough and I've asked you guys to go do some research and talk about it. This individual, supposedly American citizen, although lives in Shanghai, is, is bigger than Soros, bigger than the guy from Switzerland in funding these groups that have taken to the streets of. Of places like Minneapolis, is Los Angeles and Chicago. These are not just interested. These are not good government civilians. These are not citizens in these states or just oh well, I think I've got a better idea than President Trump has. This is an organized color revolution in the streets of America. And let's be brutally frank right now they may be winning. I think we withdrew the ice. We're withdrawing ICE from Minneapolis. So Forrest tells why is a guy living in Shanghai that has very close purported ties to the Shanghai Military Intelligence Group and Bruno Wu and that whole crowd. Why is he writing checks for a revolution in the streets of the United States of America? Sir.
Forrest (New Federal State Representative)
Okay, thank you so much, Steve for coming back. This guy's name, his name is Neville Roy Singham. Neville Roy Singham. He's living in Shanghai. You asked very key question. Why Shanghai? Why not Moscow? Why not Taiwan? Why not Pingyong? Because you know what? That's where Bruno Wu is. That's where CCP is. Because that's a CCP controlled state power who can provide him everything. He wants the COVID and the financial channels to funnel the money into this country. And he's working with the CCP try to destroy this country from within. That's why he's living in Shanghai. That's why he's working with Chinese Communist Party and State Department knows this. DOJ knows this. FBI knows this and the CIA knows this. And he definitely is not the only one. And I don't believe he's the biggest one. And he's not new and everybody knows.
Steve Bannon
But hang on a second, hang on a second. Bruno Wu, correct me if I'm wrong, either has a green card. I think Bruno wu's a citizens of the United States. This guy's a citizen of the United States. Peter Schweitzer's whole book is about how these guys get citizenship. And then they're basically agents of foreign powers inside the United States. He's talking about people having babies here. There's, there's one billionaire that wants his, his son that was a. Was. Was born here. He's back in mainland China now to be president United States. In the, in the book it's called the Manchurian President. Why do we have guys like Bruno Wu and this guy Singham that are clearly anti American, clearly up to no good. Clearly working with the ccp. How did they get American citizenship, sir? And is that holding back CIA, FBI, the DOJ people that should know this from rolling these guys up?
Forrest (New Federal State Representative)
Yes, that's what we discussed last time. I believe those guys because CCP founded them. CCP have a million ways to put them into us. This is a difference between the massive immigrant Peter was talking about. CCP use those elite. Elite again. It's not regular people or common law baixing immigrant into this country. CCP utilize those elites in the US and as well as like Bruno Wu to compromise come into this country using their financial channels in their international connections to corrupt individuals in this country to infiltrate the institutes in this country's wife, Yang Lan, she's graduated from Colombia where I graduate. She graduated from SIPA where she working as all the media. She almost interviewed every famous guy in the, you know, whole world. Think about it. How many people was compromised, you know, corrupted by those two couple. So that's why these people are very dangerous. All the elites, whether it's Chinese elites used by CCP or the elite in the US and everybody knows about this, we do need actions to against those people. Miles used to say follow the money, follow the pp. PP means here, reference to the sexual activities. And I would like to add follow through with the actions because look at it, we don't have actions against those peoples who sell out the US and who sells out this country in this country.
Steve Bannon
Hang on one second. I'm gonna hold you through into the 11 o' clock hour forest in the new federal state. Bruno wu's wife is the Oprah Winfrey of China, a huge talk show host. That's not by accident, right? There are no coincidences. Let's take a short commercial break or return. The second hour of the war room I commit to you will be more on fire than even our first.
Michael Kunzler (Pharmacy Entrepreneur)
Stick around.

This episode provides a fast-paced rundown of key breaking political, legal, and national security stories, framed with the War Room’s combative, populist, MAGA-centric analysis. The withdrawal of Robson in Arizona sets up a high-stakes GOP focus for 2026, while vivid warnings are made about both domestic subversion (from ICE interventions to federal investigations) and foreign (CCP-directed funding of U.S. dissent). Woven throughout is the War Room’s familiar call for state-level action, election security, and resistance to governmental and globalist overreach.
