2. Health, Agriculture, and Regulatory Shifts—Including the Fight Over Roundup:
   The second half pivots to health reforms under the “Make America Healthy Again” coalition, recent progress under Trump/Kennedy administration, fierce opposition from Big Ag/Pharma, and the complexities of phasing out glyphosate (Roundup) in American agriculture.

A third, recurring thread involves the economic ramifications of a Supreme Court ruling against Trump-era emergency tariffs, alongside continuing advice for listeners on handling IRS and tax matters.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Georgia Election Integrity Battle

New Claims of Criminal Intent in 2020 Election Handling

• Bannon introduces “bombshell” information on Georgia’s 2020 vote certification, specifically a 6-3 Supreme Court ruling affecting Trump-era tariffs and pivoting to election issues.
• Guest Harry (Unite4Freedom) details how over 315,000 Georgia ballots were allegedly counted without proper digital signatures or provenance, which he argues breaks state law and would be “inadmissible” as evidence in any other context.
• Harry asserts, “They make a choice. It’s a conscious choice to put illegal ballots… Over 315,000 ballots in Georgia should never have been counted.” [03:39]
• Both Bannon and Harry insist this is not mere incompetence but “criminal intent.”
• Bannon: “Every time they say...that was just a clerical error and didn’t mean anything—this is what they are trying to do...this just couldn’t be incompetence...it’s got to be something else.” [04:16, 04:54]

Ongoing Investigations & Resistance

• Jason Frazier, Georgia activist, states the State Election Board “will not back off” efforts to get answers, despite heavy resistance: “We need to find out what happened in 2020. If I don’t do it, who will?...It is my duty as an American citizen to make this happen.” [06:14, 07:37]
• Frazier highlights absurdities in voter rolls, e.g., discovering a listing for a “Missing Missing” who allegedly voted in the 2020 runoff, underscoring doubts about clean elections.

The Toll on Whistleblowers

• Joe Hoft recounts efforts to bankrupt election-fraud whistleblowers and independent media like Gateway Pundit: “You stand up against this behemoth...and you are going to face some challenges, believe me.” [08:36]
• CISA findings that Georgia’s voting machines were insecure are raised: “A bad actor can hack in and a bad actor can flip an election.” [10:11]

Structural National Crisis

• Bannon frames these Georgia events as the core of the national political crisis: “The railhead of it is 2020, and the inner mechanics of it is in Fulton County...This is a test of political wills. There’s no way to negotiate this, there’s no middle ground.” [13:15]

Notable Quote:

“The heroes in Georgia...stood in the breach. The hard part’s just about to start.” – Stephen K. Bannon [13:09]

2. The Make America Healthy Again Coalition & Fight Against Roundup

Achievements Under Trump/Kennedy Administration

• Tony Lyons enthusiastically describes sweeping regulatory reforms:
  • Overhaul of school dietary guidelines to favor protein-heavy, less processed foods.
  • Major food brands removing artificial dyes.
  • SNAP program restrictions on junk food.
  • Reduced childhood vaccine schedule (from 17 to 10).
  • Removal of mercury from flu shots, ending Hep B vaccine at birth, limiting COVID vaccines for healthy children/pregnant women.
  • Extensive public awareness campaign (e.g., Super Bowl ad with Mike Tyson).

Quote:

“Changing the dietary guidelines...that’s a game changer. It’s a body blow to pharmaceutical companies...millions and millions of children heading towards eating healthier food, drinking whole milk in schools rather than drinking sodas.” – Tony Lyons [19:52]

The Glyphosate (Roundup) Controversy

• Lyons describes the administration’s “practical pivot” on banning glyphosate, acknowledging broad acknowledgment of its dangers but citing the entrenched dependency of 80% of farmers.
  • “Banning it outright doesn’t work...We need to look at new technologies...fast track regulatory pathways...maybe lasers.” [27:34]
  • He stresses the need for subsidies, innovation, and incentives over simple prohibition, aiming for phased, systemic reform rather than disruption to food security.

Quote:

“We all know that we have to get rid of glyphosate. The question is how to get there...What are practical, common-sense ways?” – Tony Lyons [33:10]

Political and Cultural Transformation

• Lyons: “President Trump is the most in-line president with Maha principles of any president in the last generation. There’s no question about that.” [24:05]
• He lauds open dissent and vibrant debate as newfound hallmarks of American democracy post-Biden: “We need all this disagreement...That’s democracy in action. That’s freedom.” [25:28, 26:05]

3. Tariffs, the Supreme Court, and U.S. Economic Policy

Supreme Court Ruling—Major Blow to Trumpian Economics

• Bannon reacts to the recent 6-3 Supreme Court strike-down of Trump’s emergency tariffs: “This is going to have massive consequences...This tariff thing is gonna be horrific.” [00:45, 32:56]
• John Gardner argues the national security case for tariffs, referencing economic theorists and U.S. historical experience:
  • “Adam Smith said...national security comes first. Even Milton Friedman...said national security comes first.” [48:19]
  • He opines that loss of manufacturing capacity is a grave danger to U.S. security, using recent closures of aluminum refineries as an example.

4. IRS, Tax Enforcement, and Listener Guidance

The Reality of IRS Enforcement in 2026

• Cameron Kinsey & Tax Network USA: There is no tax holiday for Trump voters; IRS enforcement remains vigorous regardless of politics.
  • Bannon: “Anybody sitting there and thinking...I don't have to pay my taxes...because President Trump is president and I'm MAGA...The world doesn’t work like that.” [39:09]
  • Kinsey: Tax Network USA offers free “discovery calls” to help listeners understand their status and options. [46:25, 47:10]

Quote:

“We have seen every single case in the book and...we are in your corner. We know the tax code inside and out. You just have to take that step and come to us.” – Cameron Kinsey [41:11]

5. National Election Integrity & Activism

• Mike Lindell joins at the end to reinforce the continuing fight for “secure elections,” linking his own legal targeting to standing up for election integrity: “They don’t want secure elections. They can’t win any election if they don’t have the opportunity to steal it.” [51:30]
• Lindell pitches ongoing sales as a means of funding both his business and activism.

Memorable Moments & Notable Quotes

• “We just need clean elections.” – Jason Frazier [07:37]
• “Even the government, the system said this was a mess.” – Joe Hoft [10:50]
• “Every dragon [Bobby Kennedy] is slaying is a massive dragon with a huge tail and 50 other dragons to back him up.” – Bannon [22:16]
• “President Trump is more of an old-time Democrat than any Democrat now.” – Tony Lyons [26:05]
