Steve Bannon
America has been warned if Democrats win the House in November, quote, the subpoenas are coming. That's the message in a new memo from communications firm Villanova to its clients, advising that Democrats plan to investigate both the Trump administration and the private sector if they take control of the chamber. Quote, due to two key changes in congressional, Democrats thinking the focus on operations is likely to be more intense than ever. And executives who are not prepared risk being swamped by a legal, political and media onslaught. This is the party that ran against cancel culture, and now they're trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read. And this is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture, the kind that comes from the top. Corporate media executives are selling out the First Amendment to curry favor with corrupt politicians. And a threat to any of our First Amendment rights is a threat to all of our First Amendment rights.

So that's where I want to pick up, because I think it's easy to see this as a media story, and it is a media story, but it is fundamentally a First Amendment story. I agree. And let's not forget Don Lemon and Georgia Ford, who've now been indicted in a conspiracy case for doing journalism. Let's not forget the failed attempt to indict six members of Congress for speaking out and exercising their First Amendment rights to.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
To.
Unidentified Political Commentator 1
To the law is to say that members of the military are obligated not to file, to follow illegal orders, and not only do they have a First Amendment right to say that they are elected members of Congress who are elected for their policy views to speak on these things.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Right.
Unidentified Political Commentator 1
That's an assault on the First Amendment. Let's not forget the assault on law firms.
Steve Bannon
Right?
Unidentified Political Commentator 1
That started almost a year ago already. Right? Blacklisting law firms for representing people and causes the President dislikes. This First Amendment assault goes just across the board. It's not just about the media. It is about silencing critics and intimidating others and shutting people up.
Steve Bannon
Right now, we're looking at Texas. Now, it's always been fool's gold for Democrats, no doubt about it. They keep saying, we're going to get it next time, and they never get it. But Obama lost it by 13 and 12. Clinton lost it by nine in 16. Biden lost it by five in 20. And so they were moving in that direction. And then there was a huge flip, obviously, in 2024, towards Donald Trump. That's all changed.
Unidentified Political Commentator 2
That.
Steve Bannon
That most critical demographic has changed again. And you look at special elections in Texas, you look at polling in Texas, it is a completely different state today politically than it was a year, a year and a half ago. How, how, how, if you're talking to the Republicans in the House, you say, I understand, like deportation at massive levels is, is important to you, and that's what you campaigned on. It's destroying you politically. You need to trim the cells. What is your message to those Republicans?
Unidentified Political Commentator 3
Well, my message first of Donald Trump is you made a mistake keeping Kristi Noem. I mean, he, one fell swoop could have said, you know what, we're making a little bit of a move on immigration. This is a two thirds, one third issue as far as where people feel that ICE is overreached and the immigration policies are, are oppressive, to say the least. And the fact that Kristi Noem still has her job just shows Trump's not making a move on anybody. And the problem is, talking about Texas, I'm not saying Texas is in play, but the immigration thing in Texas and every place else is not playing the way anybody wants to play. If you're a Republican and, you know, we're so early out in the midterms was six, seven, eight months away. But the Democrats are set up for a tremendous, tremendous wave.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
We'll see what happens in time.
Unidentified Political Commentator 1
It wasn't even a month ago we had a president threatening to invade Greenland.
Unidentified Political Commentator 2
Right.

What does it mean for America to abandon its role as leader of the free world?
Unidentified Political Commentator 2
Well, so for 80 years after the cataclysm of the Second World War and the First World War, two of the largest events in human history, we created a structure against a lot of American public opinion, which was isolationist at the time. Averell Harriman once said, after the war, everybody wanted to come home and drink Coke, but they had to project power. And what Eisenhower believed was that in supporting NATO and President Truman and building it was we could not have just had American men die in the Second World War and then allow a Third World War to unfold in Europe. The post war order of NATO, the Marshall Plan, which brought down the Iron Curtain, as well as the internal inherent weaknesses of the Soviet system, about which we were correct, that in fact, human beings do want freedom. There's a reason the wall came down and they're going from east to West Berlin is because West Berlin was more prosperous. It was where people wanted to be. It was, as President Kennedy said, a long twilight struggle. It took patience. It took administrations of both parties. It took different Congresses. It was this deep, deep commitment. And what we have not proven in the 21st century is that we still have the capacity to, to carry on a long twilight struggle.
Unidentified Political Commentator 1
Why do you think we've gotten here?
Unidentified Political Commentator 2
I think the ill impacts of globalization, I think the, and the cares and concerns of those who believe the globalization and the last 30, 40 years have not been good for them are right. Right. I mean there is an.
Unidentified Political Commentator 1
Yes, but these moves don't serve them.
Unidentified Political Commentator 2
No, no. And that's the political case that the Democratic Party has to make, that has to be made clear is that by voting for an erratic autocrat, you are voting for someone who is going to act on whim for their own benefit as opposed to someone who's going to act on principle for yours.
Unidentified Political Commentator 1
And is it time to call him an erratic autocrat?
Unidentified Political Commentator 2
I just did.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it.
Commercial Announcer
I know you don't like hearing that.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
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.
Dr. Peter Navarro
To share the big lie?
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Commercial Announcer
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my.
Steve Bannon
Country, this country will be saved.

WAR ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
It's Wednesday the 18th of February in the year of our Lord 2026. Welcome. I think we may be as we had Captain Fannel on last night to talk about, really gave you a national security type level briefing on the military assets we're putting into the Middle east right now, particularly North Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, more assets flowing in every day. Reports all over about we're really heading to the path of war. The negotiations may not be going in the direction President Trump wants. And so we're going to talk about that. We've got Dr. Thayer and Ben Harnwell, as I've told you, are in Australia at a major conference. I think we're going to be able to get Dr. Thayer up to today and Ben tomorrow also Kurt Mills is going to join us. We're going to go through all of this. Matt Boyle live from Greece, Dr. Navarro from the White House. So we're going to try to get our arms around all of this. The, the Georgia situation they did file yesterday, the Abbey Lowell crowd, they still didn't name, I think the clerk. So all of My sources and people are telling me they still haven't made a case for standing. The government's got a chance to respond or has to respond by Friday. The elections board, I think, is meeting right now. We're going to have various election board members from Georgia on the show in the next couple days to say exactly what's going on. To get to the bottom of the 2020 election is the type of thing that MAGA needs to see to not just drive the election forward in the midterm elections, but to make sure that we hold accountable who stole the 2020 election, who left us in this terrible situation. Ben Berkwam's also going to join us. What happened in Dallas, I think yesterday was the night before a jury, jury nullification nullified a capital murder crime against a Trende Aragua terrorist group. The guys killed one of their own members that stiffed him, I think on some money in front of, I think his daughters and some nephews. The jury twice hung jury. The guy's going to walk. And they got a whole process. This is the collapse of the legal system. They're now giving training courses in Minnesota. We got a brochure for, to train you for jury nullification. They're also sending out, they've got, they've got videos, they got lectures about how they defeated the effort for mass deportations in Minnesota. I just think that people, and you know, there was this league very, Mark Halperin did a very good detailed analysis of this meeting they had, I think with 75 or 100 people yesterday, the Capitol Hill Club. It's great. It's time to get everybody organized and go through data and go through information and analysis and you know, the team laid it out. Scott Besson was there. It looks like the entire kind of forward leaning cabinet members that would have, that would have, you know, data and information about that were there, but it seemed quite conventional. I just don't think we're in conventional times. And I hope people understand. Let me just be blunt. They're talking about persuadable independence, all that. This is going to be a base election. If you do not take care of your base, if you're not focused on those policies and issues that are most prevalent to them, you're not going to draw out a mass vote. This is 2018 all over again. Remember, Paul Ryan was Speaker of the House. Paul Ryan could not stand President Trump. Paul Ryan quit about this time in the cycle, but would not leave, stayed as speaker of the House. Instead of saying, I'm not going to Run again. I'm just going to step down from speaker. Let's have the vote now. Get a motivated team. And they mailed it in and I think we lost what, 35, 40 seats and President Trump was impeached at their first opportunity. You saw what I've been arguing for behind the scenes and you saw it. Now they're going to turn the corporations, they're going to turn corporate America against President Trump and the Trump administration. That was the first part of the clip. They're already telling these people and law firms are getting prepared for it. They're going to subpoena all these CEOs. They're going to put massive pressure, the Democrats take the House. They're going to put massive pressure on these corporations to turn on MAGA and to turn on the Trump administration. They have a very well thought through plan and they're moving down that path quite aggressively. It's one of the reasons we're in Texas. Texas is the epicenter right now of the political world. Why and last night we just had incredible. Which we'll break down. May show you a few clips in the morning show. We're going to break down a war in Texas. Aaron writes and Chip Roy went at it. And a guy named Maze Middleton who kind of calls himself MAGA Maze, but nobody's heard of him. I think he's endorsed by Abbott. But Wright's and Chip Roy made really compelling arguments last night. It was great to see a couple of heavyweights up there throwing punches. And you can tell those two guys come at things a little differently. And Aaron Wright's gave as good as he got. It was quite impressive. We're going to show that. But in this run up, there's also an article today, I think in Punchbowl about how Cornyn has just carpet bombed advertising. He's raised such an incredible amount of money versus Ken Paxton. But Ken Paxton's still in the lead. I mean, there's a possibility Cornyn could finish third with spending, I don't know, 70, $75 million. So early voting started yesterday. Texas has a history particularly there's a big contingent of hardcore grassroots here that just do not believe that they should vote early. They think that data is manipulated by Democrats or taken by Democrats. It's a core belief of that part of the, of the Texas grassroots and those is very powerful. So you may not see some huge numbers in this early voting because there's a big contingent here that that just will not participate. We're going to have Harry Howsey on today. He's finished Pennsylvania. When you hear his talk about the data and what happens and the difference between actual votes and ballots and ballot scans and all that on certification, which is looks like it's totally made up in 20 and 22 by this very stage, you're going to sit there and go, what in the heck are we doing here? Maybe I shouldn't vote early. Maybe I should wait for game day. So we've got a packed show today. We're going to come back. We have Ben Berkhom, Harry Halsey, Joe Hoff to kick it off. Then we're going to go and pivot to this increasing international crisis which will have massive impact in the November election. Gold as we Put out the End of the Dollar Empire this is the exact time you need to think about gold. Now why is that? Gold has traditionally been a hedge against times of financial turbulence and times of geopolitical turbulence. What do I mean by geopolitical turbulence? You see the all the furrowed brows on MSNBC talking about the post war International Rules Based Order where that order collapsed when the business community in the least in this country sold out to the Chinese Communist Party. And when the Berlin Wall came down at Tiananmen Square, the post war International Rules Based order became a total grift. They brought in a entity with slave labor and then they financed it. They never make this argument because they don't want you to see about their evil and their deeds. Bringing the Chinese Communist Party into this equation, until you address that Meacham, it's just all hot air. Okay.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
The the situation in Georgia is twofold. It's number one. It's. We must get it done. Because this is the. This is the entry point to the 2020 election steal. And. And this is why the Patriots, from Caroline Jeffers to Sally Grubbs to everybody, all the people on the Georgia election board to the Garland favoritos, to all the Patriots, average Americans, normal Americans that dug in and would not give up when the pressure was intense, they're trying to do the same. The mainstream media in the left is taking this, I just think much more seriously, at least this fight for the evidence than it appears we are. Maybe I'm wrong, but we're trying to put a spot spotlight on this because the left is all over this. They're bringing two of their heaviest guns down there, Abby Lowell and Norm Ison to get the evidence back. They want to get the ballots back. And as people are saying, when they get him back this time, they're going to destroy him. In fact, this is one of the reasons I don't think they have standing. They don't have the clerk because the clerk argued before she wanted to destroy him two years ago. Be quite difficult to slide her in her now because judges are going to say, well, hang on, you want to destroy him two years ago? Why is it a big deal if the FBI and DNI have them? I want to start with Joe Hoff of the Hoff brothers. People don't fully understand because they have not talked a lot about. That's the cut of the jib of the Hoffs. People should know that they have been under amazing legal and financial pressure for years trying to drive the Gateway pundit into bankruptcy for the simple reason the Gateway pundit is one of the best with Citizens Free Press and Breitbart and a handful of others are the best. And I would actually argue in this specific area, probably the best platform we have for election integrity in the stolen 2020 election. That's why they were out to destroy Jim Hoff. That's where they're out to bankrupt the Gateway pundit. It's quite simple. And this is why it's been so powerful. Joe, working with Harry Hosi on, on the data, the data that just makes you sick to your stomach. So Joe, just give me a quick summary of Georgia. I know Harry's going to come up in a minute and tell why they don't. We don't have the numbers today for a very specific reason. But we got Pennsylvania. Talk to me about the fight of you, your brother Gateway pundit against an onslaught of lawsuits and the legal bills and trying to put you, trying to cut you off from your advertisers, all of it, to try to put you in bankruptcy.
Joe Hoft
You're so right. Steven, thanks again for having me on. And you know, God bless Gateway pundit. My brother Jim. Let's watch. Sit back and watch what's been happening. It's just like you. You honestly say this is not my country. This is not what I grew up with. This is Outrageous. I can only think of what my parents and grandparents would be saying about this stuff today. Because if you're writing the truth, which you're not getting in the mainstream media, we know that, which is why everybody's coming to us now. And so they want to destroy us. And just like with Trump, they want to bankrupt us and they want to silence us. That's the two things that they want done more than anything. And they will do anything to do it, whether it's censorship, kicking you off at Twitter, whatever it may be gearing. Steve, feel it. I mentioned yesterday that even Google is their ads now have shut down my site joehoff.com so this is how they work. They, you know, they want to, they just want, they will do anything.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
But hang on, but hang on, but hang on, but hang on, but hang on, on, but hang on. But they shut you down because you put up articles, you put up articles from third parties that were positive in reporting the numbers on President Trump's economy. And we were going to have Navarro on here at the top of this hour to talk about the numbers and talk about what the real numbers are and walk on to overground, John Gardner from the manufacturing small Manufacturing group saying the same things. You put them up and they're trying to shut you down. Also, we're going to have a live stream of the Georgia Election Board, which all our heroes that sit on that board are there today. If we can pop it in for a second. If not, what I want to do is put it up in Grayson mode, make sure everybody so if the audience your split attention. You can also watch the Georgia Election board today because this is a fight from here on in. And now we've got the evidence and we can't give it up. Joe, hang on for one second because they are trying to shut down Gateway Pundit. They're trying to shut down johoff.com why? These guys are the platforms for the truth and they've been digging in now for the sixth year. Think about that in your life six years focus on a thing when the entire apparatus of the state is against you, including the vast majority of establishment Republicans because they just wanted to go away and don't want to be held accountable. Harry, tell me why we had you scheduled today to go through the Georgia numbers you guys are very methodically going through. And late last night we talked and said, hey, I don't think we can be ready, but we've got Pennsylvania. Why can't you be ready for Georgia, sir, today? Because you guys are pretty good about Hitting your marks.
Harry Housie
So we've done the basic analysis that we normally do, but during the course of that, we went ahead and checked the digital signatures on the files. And there are many digital signatures that are required to prove provenance on the files on specific records that are missing. In addition to that, we have a misalignment of tabulator identities. So whenever a machine scans ballots, the identity of the tabulator is part of the official record. And what we found are hundreds of thousands of data points, votes that were recorded that don't have valid digital signatures.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Okay, but hang on, hang on, hang, put, stop. Georgia has been under a microscope now for years. It's, I would argue, Arizona. We talk about Arizona because that's the one Fox called when they shouldn't call the psyop that Fox ran that night. We talk about Pennsylvania because the egregiousness of the mail in ballots was so horrible. Remember, Trump was up 800,000 votes when voting when county was shut down that night. But Georgia was worse because Raffensperger came out the next day and said, hey, there's a record. I don't know, 3 million votes it's cast. There's, there's 200,000. Trump's up by 205,000 votes. There's only 190,000. It's mathematically impossible for Trump to lose. He said it on the Today Show. So how can you tell me now that there's hundreds of thousands. This thing's already been certified by every guy in the state of Georgia. It's got an R next to his name. And of course, in Fulton county, it's been certified by Fani Willis and that entire crowd in Fulton county that have Ds next to their name. So both parties signed off on this and certified. So how can you tell me on Wednesday, the morning of Wednesday, the 18th of February, in the year of our Lord 2026, when there's a fricking firestorm in Georgia right now at the elections board and they're going to court and the Democrats are pulling in their heaviest guns to get their fricking hands on that evidence, those ballots and those tabulators. How can you tell me, Harry, that six years into this, there's thousands and tens of thousands and maybe hundreds of thousands of signatures that can't be verified? Sir.
Harry Housie
The problem is that they've never done a comprehensive, true audit of Fulton county or any part of Georgia. Raffensperger, you know, the, the fraud that they perpetrate on the people, as they call them.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Harry, Harry, hang on. One second. Want to cut live to the Georgia Election Board? Let's go right there now. Okay, I guess we lost the audio.
Unidentified Political Commentator 4
That's.
Dr. Peter Navarro
Mr. Francis, is that your.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Your application and your signature?
Joe Hoft
I do not sign my signature this way.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
You did not fill out that application?
Unidentified Political Commentator 4
No.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Is there anything else on the card that doesn't. It's not correct. Everything seems correct, but I never did any of this. Did someone fill out an application for you, Mr. Francis?
Joe Hoft
Not by my knowledge.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Is the address correct on us?
Joe Hoft
I re currently moved, so I'm not.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Staying in the cab anymore. Was this. Was this address correct in 2020? Yes. You live there? Yes, I did live there. But that's not your signature? No. You have your driver's license on you? I don't have it on me, but I recently replaced it.
Joe Hoft
So the driver's license number is different as I fl.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Well, that shouldn't change. Right. Okay. Can you sign something for someone to see how you sign things?
Joe Hoft
Yeah.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Can you sign your name on a. Can you give him a piece of paper so he can sign his name? Sign this, which is signed.
Unidentified Political Commentator 4
Copy of the which.
Harry Housie
Okay.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Yeah, that's fine. Whichever. Oh, I think. Well.
Unidentified Political Commentator 4
It.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Let me go back to Harry. Keep this in a box. We're going to return to this. We're going to return. Hang on for a second. Let's hang with this. Let's see what they've got right here. They're down in the weeds in Georgia as you need to be. People want to see receipts. Harry, how was telling you that there's tens of thousand, hundred thousand don't match. They didn't match in. In Pennsylvania. That's where they ripped the double envelopes in the mail in ballots and threw them away. This whole thing was a total and complete scam from Pennsylvania to Georgia to Arizona. Let's throw in Michigan and Wisconsin for good measure. If regardless, this is a DE Cab era. Okay.
Unidentified Political Commentator 3
Any further questions from the board?
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Thank you, sir. Sorry. Let's go back to Harry Houston. Get a precinct card from De Cab County. Did they send you a. Let's go.
Dr. Peter Navarro
We.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
We're going to stream this. This board meeting. I talked to board members beforehand. This board meeting is going to go all day to five or six. They think Eastern Standard Time they're going to get into this level of detail. So Harry, Howsy, can you still answer. Can you answer the question originally? I'm sorry for cutting away and we're going to blow the brake. I want to thank Real America's voice because folks, particularly those been with us for a couple of years. You remember back after was it the 3rd of November of 2020, in that huge fight, until President Trump was forced out of the White House on the morning of the 20th of January, 2021. And thus began what do you say, a journey, a pilgrimage to make sure that divine providence had stepped in and said, okay, these guys are going to steal it and we'll see what they do with the republic. And President Trump was totally discounted and came back with the greatest political comeback in history. And here's where we are now. And that's why if we back off or blink in Georgia, I don't know how you get it back on track. Why? Because what does Georgia show us? What's the most important thing Georgia shows the most important thing? Human agency. These aren't highly paid people. The, the Georgia Election Board thing, I think, is virtually volunteer Caroline Jeffords and all the other people we've had on here right at Garland Favorito, they got these small, you know, Vote Ga, they got these small, little not for profits. They've been digging in. You got the Gateway, the Gateway pundit, Jim Hoft and, and Joe Hoft. That's not the Solz Burgers, that's not the New York Times, and that's some international media empire. It's a huge site that they've built. You know, when Jim Hoft and Andrew Breitbart kind of started this back in 2000, what, 2008, after the financial crash, or 2006, Andrew was the editor over at Drudge, and Jim Hoff was one of these guys out in St. Louis at the beginning of the tea party on the 15th of April of 2009. And he's built it up, but they're trying to bankrupt him.
Steve Bannon
Why?
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
They don't want to have this conversation. They don't want to look at the facts. Why are they putting all this effort to send their top legal guns into lie. You heard this yesterday from people in Georgia, all the mainstream media every night lying about what's at stake here. To do what? To simply get their hands on the ballots and to get their hands on the tabulators to make sure that we can't show the evidence, that the FBI can't pursue criminal investigation and a DNI Tulsi Gabbard can't do because it's an intelligence op. And John Solomon was on here last week and said, hey, over the next week or two, you're going to find out that this foreign interference and, oh, guess what this is, makes this understands why Peter Schweitzer's book has been number one I think now the fourth week in a row because he talks about the foreign involvement of the Chinese Communist Party. And Chinese Communist Party is going to be a name that pops up. So how is that? That's why all the, the, all the chips are pushed into the middle of the table on this. Harry Housie once again. And we've got up the live stream of the Georgia. You can dip in and out of that or follow. It's going to be pretty amazing because I think they're going to get down to some receipts on individuals and just show how screwed up this thing is. So just answer my question again, Harry, if you will. I had to cut you off. But how could they. This thing's been certified, 22 has been certified. How can you sit here in February of 2026 and tell me. Well, they can't possibly certify them because there's all these mismatch or not even a non existent signature, sir.

The fact is that they ignore the law repeatedly. They're certifying without having reviewed the detailed information that's at hand. They are fighting a scorched earth battle to prevent anybody from ever getting to the actual paper receipts. But what our organization has done is looked at the way they've recorded the, the actual electronic receipts. Even there. There are ample evidence of election fraud all over the place with tampering of the, with their record. The fact that they have people that are voting that have the name asterisk, it goes on and on and on. But the problem that we've had is the judiciary itself is afraid of this matter. They just won't hear it. Typically the people, and I've testified in front of the State Board of Elections in Georgia about these issues directly. And the fact is that the law is clear. They aren't obeying the law. The evidence is clear that they have materially affected the outcome of the elections. Yet we fight and fight and fight against a very well funded scorched earth machine that tries to destroy people. Our organization has been declared because we fight just on the basis of data. We're data analysts. We knew at the beginning of this fight in 2020, when I sat in the Westin Hotel for two months, that the preponderance of evidence wasn't going to sway the judges. You had to have actual burning evidence of criminal activity to get them even to listen. So what we've concentrated on is finding evidence of criminal activity which we have found in all of the swing states and Even more in California, Illinois and New York. So the fact of the matter is they're also, you know, establishing new purple spaces. So we see certain areas of Ohio being attacked, we see certain areas of Texas being attacked. But in Georgia they have done everything they can to prevent anybody from seeing the actual paper receipts. But they made some mistakes. They inadvertently, because they don't understand the complexity, they inadvertently exposed some of the mischief. And the mischief that I'm talking about is the fact that things are scanned with improper digital signatures when the rest of the batch has proper signatures. So they've injected objects into the system with no signatures or fake signatures. And I'm not talking about the signature on the voter registration. I'm talking about the digital signature that protects the provenance of the scans that are associated with the vote record, the cbr. So here we have that evidence.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
We're going to have to, I want to have a, like a seminar that we're going to block out. You know, on the, on the 6 o' clock show, all the 6 o' clock show, we have shifted to warm Texas. We'll figure this out. I think we need a more detail with some charts up like we used to do in the old days to, to understand this. Where do people go right now to see your latest on this? Because this is going to build up to this hearing because a hearing on Friday with the government response, then essentially a trial a week from Friday. They're calling witnesses. You know, Norm Ice and Abby Lowell want to shut this down immediately. So Friday a week. And we're going to have to get people up to speed on this between now and then. Where do people go for your, your group, Sir?
Harry Housie
Unite the number4freedom.com or they can follow us on X. We need your help. Donations time or just get yourself educated. We put a lot of our videos and information and reports up on our website. We continue to release new data almost daily as we go through the peer review process. And I just want to add a plug for the State Board of Elections in Georgia. The, the conservatives on that panel are some of the bravest people I know in the country and, and they attack them continuously.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Can attack them and sue them. We'll get into that tomorrow. We're going to have some of the, we're going to have some of the board members listen part of their game. They got, you know, the huge funding from, you know, the, the Chinese guys in Shanghai and, and, and Soros and others, all these foreigners and they back these lawsuits. So when you step in there, don't think it's, oh, I'm going to, you know, it's going to be great. No, they're going to come after you. They're going to take your, they want to take your house. They want to destroy your business. If you're analyst like Harry or a Lawyer like Harry MacDougallan, they want to drive away your clients. They want to make sure no big law firm ever work with you. This is their game. They play smash mouth smash because they understand the stakes here. This is the key that picks a lock right now on the steel of the 2020 election. This is why it's so intense on their side. So, Harry, thank you so much, brother. I appreciate you. Jo Hoft, where do people get you? And we'll have you guys back on tomorrow. I know you're gonna be rolling out. I'm dying to see the Georgia in, in detail. I know you got Pennsylvania today, but Joe, where do people go for you and your brother over at Gateway?
Joe Hoft
Yeah, for sure. Go to the thegatewaypundant.com go to joehofta.com and also, it's just really like we said, it's, this is all about transparency. This stuff never should have been certified in the real world. You don't certify stuff that's not secure.
Harry Housie
We.
Joe Hoft
Or where the evidence isn't there or not. Most importantly, where you're not allowed to look at it. If you can't look at it, it's a joke. You're not signing off on it. So thanks for doing all this.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Thank you, Joe. Well, it's very simple. Trump won the 2020 election. I've said that from day one. We've never waived. Trump won the 2020 election. He won the 2020 election. And a lot of the Republican establishment looked the other way. You know why we said, well, Steve, why would that be? They want to get rid of Trump. What the hell you think's going on right now? Yeah, you don't think they'd rather that. Yes, they got their tax cuts and they would love MAGA to show up and vote for them. This is the corny thing. In Texas, corn is spending. You know, I think Punch Bowl's got another huge story out today, how corn is just spending millions of dollars. If you're down here, you can't cut on a TV channel. Corn is not carpet bombing. The grassroots leader Paxton down here, they want MAGA to go away. They want, they want you to show up and vote, and then they want you to sit down and shut up. Okay, That's Why?
Unidentified Political Commentator 2
It's.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
It's essential to get to the beating heart, the railhead of the problem because that's going to bring in all kind of deep state actors. But you got the evidence. This is why they're panicked. Why are they sending Abby Lowell and Norm Ison, right? Two of the three heaviest guns they got. Why are they sending them down to Georgia next week? And really, they're kicking out. They want a trial, not a hearing. Why? They got to get their hands on those ballots. They got to get those hands on the tabulators. Hey. And that should be a death struggle. Under no circumstance should we ever turn those things over anyway. Joe, help. Thank you very much. We are already quite backed up. I want to thank Real America's voiceless blow Break. I got Berquam. Berquam on another issue that we cannot because on the, on the, on the focus on the midterms. And you can tell they're trying to go exactly like Paul ryan did in 18 is let's moderate. Let's talk to independents. Independents aren't going to come out and vote for you that are not. There are no independents. You have people lean our way and people lean their way. What they want to see is action. What they want to see is results. What they want to see is. Wait for the word resolve. They want to so resolve. They're rubbing our nose up in Minnesota, are they not? Ben Burkwam, you were there for weeks and weeks and weeks. What's the left saying? The revolutionary left, because that's what we're up against. These aren't traditional Democrats. It's not a traditional time. We're in a revolutionary time here. Just understand what this time is and what it is.
Unidentified Political Commentator 4
Get back to what you guys are talking about.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Go ahead.
Unidentified Political Commentator 4
This goes all back to what you guys are talking about. The elections. I was there in Arizona in 2020 and 2022 and 2024. And everything hinges on them being able to steal elections. They go out and burn down our cities trying to get the media to play their game, to make it seem like America's on their side. They know America is not on their side. And the only way they win is if they have enough votes to steal in these swing states to steal the elections. That's why this is so critical. We have to get election fraud out of our election systems. We don't have a country if we don't have sovereign elections. And the entire apparatus behind this, it's all connected. The radical leftists that attacked ICE in Minneapolis are the Same radical leftists that are working to steal the elections are the same radical leftists that invited the illegal aliens into our country, and now they're rubbing our nose in it. You have the democratic socialists, AKA the revolutionary Communists, out there saying, this is how we won in Minneapolis. This is how we got ICE to leave to stop the surge in Minneapolis. This is how you can do it in your neighborhood. And they're out there celebrating the nullification of these jury trials of criminal illegal aliens who murder people in America.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
They are not just.
Commercial Announcer
Hang on, hang on.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
I don't know if I said it. They're just not celebrating. They're running training programs on jury nullification.
Unidentified Political Commentator 4
That's right.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
I told you this was gonna happen. That's right. Going into the community and saying, if ICE or the police, you know, as bad as this bad hombre is, he's not as bad as Trump and Trump's fascist. Right? So you have to. I don't care if this guy murdered a guy in the community. You have to nullify and let the prosecutors know you're not gonna back this up. They're doing training programs on jury nullification. You just saw it in Dallas. In Dallas, they pulled a gang member out and killed him in front of his daughters and a couple of nephews. Twice, two hung juries because jurors were trained and they had jury nullification. And they're bragging about it, and they're training people on it. Give me the specific reasons on this.
Commercial Announcer
How do they claim victory?
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
What worked for them that they're saying, hey, we can shut down Trump, we can shut down mass deportations, we can shut down law enforcement, we can shut down the implementation of any immigration law in the United States. Sir.
Unidentified Political Commentator 4
Well, they're training people on the nullifications. They're training illegals on how to obstruct ice. They're training traders in our government on how to obstruct ice, and then when ICE moves out, they take it as a victory. Now, the surge in Minneapolis was always going to be a temporary thing. That's what the plan was, to go surge in these communities. But the fact that they were able to use Renee Goode and Alex Preddy as the poster child, they were able to basically shut down the state for a month and get ICE to say, okay, we're ending our surge operations, that was an absolute victory for these radical leftist communists. And one thing, Steve, we talk about Trojan horses all the time, that we've invited a Trojan horse in. We didn't invite a Trojan horse in. The Greeks are here. They're in our country. They're in our government. They didn't have to send a Trojan horse. They're here in our own government, destroying us from within. And that's what's happening right now. So what they're saying to everyone around the country is, if ICE shows up, this is what you do. This is the blueprint. You obstruct them. You support the illegal aliens. You attack ice, you die if you have to. You become a martyr like Alex Preddy or Renee Goode, and then they will leave your community. This is where we're at. This is civil war. This is guerrilla warfare happening on American streets today. And the only answer that we should have is we are not backing down. This should be the largest RICO case in American history. And every one of these traitors needs to be arrested. And if you get in the way, you get shot. That is, if you use deadly force against ice, deadly force will be used against you. And we are not slowing down. That should be the only answer that's coming out of Washington D.C. the.

Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Key takeaway from Ben and Ben, it was fantastic, and thank you for jumping in, doing this. The stealing of the election and the run up the summer of love. The stealing of the election, because remember, Raheem Kassam broke it. He had that memo and he broke it down. It was gonna be a red wave, but it was gonna be offset by a blue tsunami. You just had to wait 10 days or two weeks till all the votes were counted. They knew how to steal it. The steal led directly because 75 days after they, after election day, in the process of basically confirming their stealing, when Biden was inaugurated that afternoon, he started sending executive orders to guess what? Open the border. There wasn't chaos on the border. What did Ben Berkwam and Oscar Blue Ramirez report for years down there, it was not, it's chaos or anarchy. It was highly thought through to flood it with one opportunity, said, we're going to flood it with as many as we can get in here. And that number is, I don't know, 10, 15, 20, 25 million. And this is the fight we have now. And they're saying, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we don't care. These are our people and they're going to be our voters, and you're not going to get them out. This is the fight we have right now. And that's why you got to go back to the railhead. Hence why this fight in Georgia with these fabulous, historic, historic American patriots that have Refused to quit. Ben Berkwam Social media. We gotta bounce.
Steve Bannon
Yeah.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
Unidentified Political Commentator 4
Okay.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
We'Re gonna get into the kinetic part of the third world war. In a moment. We got Dr. Thayers joining us from Australia. We're going to have Matt Boyle from Greece. Kurt Mills is going to join us. Mersheimer, we got a clip of Mersham. I'll get to all that. But take, I think now more than ever, if you haven't done it, you need to understand why gold, physical gold, has been a hedge against times of turbulence. When I say geopolitical, normally that means either the war or the rumors of war. Okay, let's be blunt. That's what it means. Geopolitical means getting it on and right now. And if you haven't done it, Grayson Moe, you could put it out later. Captain Fennell gave a NSC quality brief. I mean, he was head of PAC Fleet Intelligence. A legendary guy. In the briefing he gave you last night about the assets flowing into the region and his he said look, if you're not going to negotiate a deal, the ayatollah is going to step down. It's not about ballistic missiles, not about nuclear program. If he's not going to step down, the president, United States, the commander chief's got to use that. He'll use it. And today we were headed that reinforced all kind of articles up about this. We are heading down the path at least right now. Unless these negotiations pulls a rabbit out of the hat of a kinetic war, we're going to get to all that. But this Halperin breaks this thing that had like 75 or 100 people around President Trump at this meeting and he broke everything down. But the bottom line was it's predicated upon a turnaround the economy. Dr. Navarro, there's more numbers out today. You've been a great sherper for us on this show for years. First term on the show, co host, Prison Mate and now back in the White House. Just walk me through the latest mathematics on the on the economy, sir. As you see it.
Dr. Peter Navarro
Steve, I'm working up a big thought piece on housing affordability. We had numbers out today about the improvement in residential housing construction. The big picture here, Steve, is that of all the affordability issues that the Democrats have been trying to hammer us on, housing is the biggest, it's the biggest expenditure that people regularly make every month. And we had a situation where 20 million illegals came in during the Biden regime. Council of Economic Advisors estimates that for every 1 million it pushed rents and housing price up 1%. See, so it's a 20% because of illegal immigration and open borders alone. And it's skewed, it's not uniform across the nation. It's skewed towards the sanctuary city. So in places like New York where you get a mondami coming in Chicago, Louisiana and also border town like Houston, they just, I mean it was housing affordability carnage. Right? But, but it's all reversing now under Trump policies and it's a beautiful thing to watch. We're shifting into higher gear for single family housing now. We had been building a lot of multifamily ones because that's where number one the legals to go. And number two, because mortgage rates were high because of the Biden inflation, we had people locked in to existing homes because of their fixed rate mortgages. So all of that is coming undone in a good way. And we've got a fairly significant correction now where we're seeing affordability. Get Dramatically better. And so that's a very, very good thing. And you know, the bigger picture, of course, which is when we're talking about. I'm going to make a prediction here. This is a little news for the war room. 10 year bond yields are going to fall soon below 4% and 30 year fixed 30, 30 year is going to fall below 6. They've been coming down ever so slowly, but they're getting near that threshold level. And for the technicians who look at this kind of stuff, once we get below that to, that'll have a really good impact on the housing market. We'll get that going. So what you're gonna see going into November is that the primary issue the Democrats have been trying to beat us on, which is affordability, is we're gonna see relief among the base, among low and middle income folks across a wide range.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Okay, but hang on. Yes, I got it. And when everybody came out in November says it's all going to be about affordability in next November, I said no, it's not because here's why. The inflation of Biden ain't going to go away. You've stopped the rate of inflation, are doing a magnificent job and the argument's compelling, but we are going to get back to. It's going to be GDP growth, which means economic growth, job growth and wage growth on that part because you guys are doing, I think a terrific job of getting your hands on the affordability issue across a broad platform and bringing the accelerating rate of inflation down. So you've kind of, you capped that, but people are still going to think prices are high because of Biden. But on the other three, growth of gdp, economic growth, housing.
Dr. Peter Navarro
Housing is the one place where you're absolutely wrong on that, Steve, because rents are actually coming down in absolute terms like a price. So, so I agree with you that.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Your rent, I think, I think, I think your rents are coming down because also you sealed the border in the first 30 days and you're getting folks 2 million people decided, hey, maybe I'll just go home. This is not working out for me in America. Apartment rates are coming down. The cities you mentioned like, oh, a random city like Houston, right. Things are coming down. No, I don't get me wrong, I think it's great what you guys are doing. I don't think you're getting enough credit credit for it because the business press will not give you the credit for it. Dr. Navarro.
Dr. Peter Navarro
Where can we go and talking about it, Steve? Because the bandage war room gets more eyeballs and listeners than The Washington Post these days. So there it is.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
But where do you get your clips? I want to send everybody to your site because you're putting up this analysis every day in an easily accessible format.
Dr. Peter Navarro
Yeah, Peter navarro.com that's, that'll open you up to X Getter Truth Instagram. And I just really urge people to take a look at these 60 second videos, share them with friends because they distill little nuggets of whatever into easily digestible economics. And then whenever I do one of the videos, there's a sub stack to go with it. Often an op ed in place like the Washington Times, the Daily Caller, whatever. And also there's the podcast, the Navarro Express Podcast. The beauty of that, Steve, is it counter programming. These things only go for three to four minutes, right? So it's a quick, fantastic, quick kind of hit. You don't have to go through the damn thing for an hour for three minutes worth of good, good stuff. I just give it to your direct.
Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
All your, all your, all your stuff is, is great. Dr. Navarro, thank you so much. We're going to push out all your content. Dr. Navarro is on. I call the predicate team. Got to turn the economy around. It's turning around. You can see it already. A short commercial break. We're going to go from Australia to Greece on the path to war. Next in the war room.
Steve Bannon
We still need help from the boss. We need help from the boss.

The episode paints the Georgia 2020 election investigation as the linchpin of the broader fight for election integrity, warning of coordinated efforts to stifle dissent, both legal and media-based. It urges listeners to support grassroots outlets and activists, and frames the coming electoral cycle as a battle not just for votes, but for the future of American democracy amidst what Bannon and guests perceive as systemic attacks from establishment actors and radical leftists. The urgency is heightened by international tensions and domestic economic concerns—framed as both cause and consequence of political upheaval.
