You change that. No, no, no, no, no. I, I, I'm all for not going at all and drop the hammer on them and keep the, you know, and totally block until she's prepared to stop sending arms. Right. And also say he's going to get the business of using the one to do, you know, to break the petrodollar because he's in back of Lula's, the head of the bricks. That's one of the reasons, I'm sure that the, the folks wanted him in the White House today to have President Trump talk about it. I hope it was a little heated. He didn't. President Trump had the media teed up and we flipped the show to Charlie Kirk. They were all lined up outside as they normally do. And what happens here, the audience know our staff at the White House always gives us, they give them five minutes where you're going to go. So we were, I kept saying in every block, hey, we're going to cut to the White House momentarily. It never happened. President Trump and they were supposed to have a joint, turns out they were supposed to have some joint press conference or joint statement at the end. That never happened. There's a lot moving on. You were the senior advisor inside. What, what very quickly, your show. But what was that? Did Trump just pivot and say, I'm not doing it, or did he give him a link in the night or like this. How's that work? Well, first off, first off, yesterday we had Peter on Navarro talking about trying to break the cartel, this four country, four company cartel, you know, like OPEC is for oil. They have a cartel here for beef. Two of the companies are Brazilian owned, it turns out as Reuters or excuse me, the Associated Press, I think breaks right before the meeting starts, that the meeting was set up by the guy, the guy we've got under investigation that's really the head of this beef cartel and one of the crookedest guys in Brazil and a billionaire is the guy in Bakalula. We've known this for years and talked about it. I think he's also a quasi Marxist, at least authoritarian. So I hope in the meeting and I, you know, my understanding is that people did show President Trump everything Lula said about him over the years, which is horrific. Also that Lula is the head of, you know, the BRICS nations and trying to break the, in trying to break the dollar. We sent, you know, Philip Patrick and the entire Birch Gold team, the audience will know this. A year ago, went down to Rio for the Rio reset, right in Brazil and, and And Lula was in back of the scene, moving all the pieces around, trying to do these off trade deals in local currency where people would take the, they would take the currency risk to get off the US Dollar. So these. So the good news today, I think hopefully that didn't turn out well. And I think President Trump and I know Scott Besson is coming in on an angle of attack here with the CCP to, to hopefully, you know, try to bring this thing to an end. But listen, if, if we can't, if they, if they're not going to stop arms, they're going to continue to try to destroy the US Dollar. I'm all for just canceling the meeting and putting the screws down harder, I tell you. See you. You mentioned Brazil owns two of the largest USB processors. Guess who owns the two largest Pork Po processors in America? China. The Chinese Communist Party hams man from Virginia. What are you talking broke? Broke our heart when he bought Smithfield. Smithfield Food owned by the Chinese DCP government. Isn't that lovely? DOJ ought to go in and turf them all out, sell that to Americans right now. And, and Peter talked about that yesterday. So it's interesting that that meeting even took place. But like I said, it's. President Trump is in the middle of this thing now in the, in the Persian Gulf and negotiating. And plus he's said, hey, if I can't get a deal here, I'm gonna go back to kinetic activity. So we'll just have to see. All right, brother, have a great show. See you. See you tomorrow. Stephen, that. Thanks, Eric, and thanks for tapping into the Bloomberg terminal today, give us all these updates. Fantastic.
B
Got more.
A
Okay, we're gonna have a cold. We're gonna go. We're gonna start in Tennessee and start in the reditioning wars. Michael Patrick Lee is going to join us. We got a cold open. Let's go to the cold. Then we're going to come back into the war room, Let every member cast their vote. You have to be in your seat to vote in your seat to vote. In your seat to vote the rules required in your seat to vote. Mr. Clerk, take the vote. Ayes, 25.
B
Nays, 5.
A
House Bill 7003. 7003. Having received a constitutional majority, I declare it passed. Sam. Oh, You walk out. Yeah.
C
Let.
A
Let r. Pearson go. Let r. Pe wr is wrong with you? Hey, you stupid mother. There's been a lot of redistricting. We had been talking about Democrats sliding into control pretty easily given both precedents and the current state of affairs. Is this changing it?
D
Yes. I mean, it certainly has the potential to. We can't say definitively now that it is. Right. But look at what this Supreme Court court decision has put in motion, Katie. South Carolina may redistrict. Alabama, depending on a bunch of variables, may redistrict. Tennessee is redistricting. Louisiana could redistrict. There's. That's a lot of seats. The Virginia Supreme Court is expected at some point to hand down a decision as to whether the new map that they drew Virginia Democrats and that the state passed into law the process that allowed this is proper. And Democrats are getting very concerned about that now. Let's just take a step back for a second. Yes, that would give Republicans a pretty big boost, but still, gas is still at $4.50. The Democratic Party is still favored to win a bunch of seats. And in a closely constructed House as it is right now, I think they would still be not a prohibitive favorite, but a slight favorite. But if Republicans can combine all those seats with Florida, where Florida Republicans are trying to draw a handful of new seats as well, that's a big cushion, Katie. That would require a mini wave of sorts for Democrats to take over. I'm not saying that's not impossible. It's certainly possible given the climate, the president's approval ratings, etc. But the winds have shifted in this. In this redistricting fight in which Democrats were clearly winning. And now it's a little. A lot, a lot less certain.
A
This is what white supremacy does. This is it trying to make. Force us to capitulate. And I appreciate y' all not capitulating. And I'm gonna take the votes. I'm gonna speak up and speak out. But this is the problem with our democracy. This is the problem when white supremacy rules and governs and guides instead of democracy. Where you going?
D
We're going into the land.
A
We're going into a van right now. I love you. All right, buddy. I love you. If you want to dtf, okay. But I got your. I got your code. I love you so much,
B
Brody.
A
I love you. Proud of you. This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Christians not 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.
E
And where do people like that go? To share the big lie. MAGA Media I wish in my soul,
A
I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and
F
what is my purpose?
A
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
A
Thursday, the 7th of May in the year of our Lord 2026. Let me be brutally frank. Frank. You know, for all the shortcomings of President Trump and everything he's trying to do and people, he hadn't done this and he's doing that and he's not accomplishing this. And look, I got as many beefs as everybody else on policy, but the alternative for our country is what you saw right there. That is a pit of hell. And how that was allowed to go down today, I believe, I think that's the Tennessee state House. How that was long. Those people should have been rolled up and arrested, all of them. And if it looks too bad on tv, hell with it. This, these people are radical revolutionaries. This is not about some Democrats that believe you ought to have higher marginal tax rates. You see Katie Porter, Katie Porter, if you watch the clip for the California governor's primary, which I can't even watch, makes me sick to my stomach to watch that. You know, she's saying, well, they ought to pay some more graduate taxes. She's not. She's another scumbag revolutionary that just feeds on this. Look at what happened in Tennessee today. I'm sorry. On a vote on unconstitutional. And this is what gets me. The south has had to bear this for decade after decade after decade. This should have been taken care of a long time ago. This thing's been unconstitutional for a long time. And finally, people in the grassroots, this show, this posse, this audience, coupled with President Trump and a handful of people coming in for air cover, have now embarrassed and shamed and scared to death these rhino Republican established Republicans, the same group that allowed it fester decade after decade after decade. And you see what you got? You see what you got there? Hey, just watch it. That's the pit of hell. That's those people want to run this country and they win the midterms, they win that, they win the next presidential. They. And quite frankly, we're not doing enough to round them up. Either get them the hell out of the country or throw them in prison. How about that? Give you two choices. Oh, Steve, you're so harsh. This is so harsh. How can you do that? Hey, look, what do you. That's French Revolution. What do you think they do with you, you're out in the streets. This is disgusting. We're sitting here and taking this and, and have to be supplicants to, like the speaker of the House of South Carolina. It's like being a supplicant to John Th. Get rid of John Thune. You want to save the Senate, start by getting rid of Thune. You don't get rid of Thune, you're going to lose the Senate. Mark my words. This country's in a crisis. Look, look back throughout the history of this country when we've had crises, the strong and the tough have come forward to save the Republic. This is what this is all about. If you're not up for it or if you don't like what Trump's doing on margin, go, hey, no sweat off our brow. We're gonna hunker down and we're gonna win. Like you see him winning. The guy saying, well, you know, the winds have changed. You damn right the winds have changed because we changed them. Short break. The American health care system is broken. And for most Americans, nothing changes. There's still delays, denials, high cost insurance, roadblocks. So when I find people doing things differently, I talk about it all. Family pharmacy is not your typical big chain pharmacy. This is an independent family owned pharmacy that gives you access to over 400 medications delivered straight to your door. They've got ivermectin, antibiotics, antivirals, nad, even your daily maintenance medications and so much more. If you already have a prescription, your doctor can send it directly. If you don't, their doctors handle it. As long as there is a medical necessity, they'll take care of you. And I'll tell you this, the feedback from people listening to the show and watching has been incredibly strong. People are using it, it's working for them and they're sticking with it. That's because it cuts out the delays, the middlemen, and all the usual nonsense. This is about being ready before you need it. Go to allfamilypharmacy.com that's all one word, allfamilypharmacy.com Bannon and use code Bannon10 to save 10%. The health care system is broken. Your pharmacy doesn't have to be. Sa. About. Yeah, let. Let r. Pearson go. Let r. Pe wr is wrong with you stupid mother. And all memphis. Hands on memphis. Hands on memphis. Hands on memphis. Hands on memphis.
F
Hands on memphis.
A
This is what white supremacy does. This is it trying to make force us to capitulate. Yeah, I can't take any of that. I Can't take any of their deep thoughts right there, folks. That's when you ask somebody what this election about. This is what it's about. That's what it's about. Go back to Ecclesiastes. There's a time and a season for everything. We're not in a season. And for the young man that was on the Eric Bolling show and had the beautiful music, trying to bring the country together. We're not going to bring the country together with music. It's not going to happen. There's a deep divide in this country between patriots and folks that believe in this constitutional republic. In the mob. That's what it is. That's a mob. That's anarchy. That's what wants to run this country. Supreme Court had a ruling. This has been ridiculous. We've let this build up for decade after decade. See that right there? That is why the rhinos are afraid. They're afraid of that. They're petrified of that. They're going to curl up. They're going to curl up in the corner. They're going to suck their thumb. You think Brian Kemp is going to have to have the stones to take that on? You think that these people, by the way, Bill Lee, you think Bill Lee wanted to do this? Well, he got the call from Trump saying, hey, look, here's what you're going to do. This is the problem. And, hey, this is just the very. This is just the first time they got out there and they're in a statehouse. You're going to have a. You think they're coming together to, like, celebrate America's 250? Do you believe they're proud of. Of our revolution? Are they proud of our constitutional republic? Are they proud of the sacrifices that people in this country have had to do and had. Had to go through to build this nation to be the most powerful nation on earth, the wealthiest nation on earth, the nation on earth that's freed more people than any other country in the history of mankind. Do you think they're prepared to celebrate that? Well, I got another thing coming to you folks. They are not interested in that. They're interested in grabbing the reins of power. And the way they're going to grab the reins of power is to intimidate you, to make you afraid that they're going to come in and do this and do that. This is why what happened in Tennessee today, the vote, was so courageous. And you see right there the reaction. You think it's going to get better from here? Do you think the way that MSNBC is feeding this every night. The New York Times is feeding this every night, and the media is feeding this every night. And the entertainment industry is feeding this. You think by feeding those people, that's going to get less nasty, less violent. You talk about trying to assassinate President Trump. If they had their opportunity, they were torn him limb from limb. This is a dangerous mob. This is anarchy. Beau French, this is what they accuse you of. You went to Tarrant county and you cleaned things up. But you've seen down in Texas this, hey, it's every state in the union. Tennessee is as good a state as you can get. Look what's happened in Tennessee. A mob, A mob tried to take it over, tried to disrupt the vote. And I don't understand why they didn't clean house. There's one thing to come and peacefully protest and have your say so, but you're going to sit there and act like a pack of animals. Clear it out. And the state troopers, you know, I got it, you got to stand back. But you don't have to take that abuse. Some guy, I don't care if he's some elected state senator, he gets in your face and says that about your folks and says about you, pure abuse. Turf him out and put him in jail. Beau French, your thoughts, sir?
C
Yeah.
E
I mean, look, we are dealing with people who don't abide by the same rules of society and culture that we do. Obviously, we're on the side of everything that is good, right and true, and they are on the side of evil. And for these people, it is all about anarchy. It is about, you know, they hate America. They hate our laws, they hate our people, which is why they've done everything they can to import as many people as they can stir up all of this discord among people. You know, it started with Barack Obama, really, or you could go back even before that, but I mean, he certainly was, was part of, really trying to divide people in America to hate everything that we stand for. And this is just the outgrowth of that. These Marxists are, you know, they, they will team up with anybody, which is why, you know, we call it the Red Green Alliance. They brought in all the, all the Muslims and doing everything they can to destroy our society with Islam as well. So it is a problem. It's in every city, it's in every state, and it's all across the country. And, Steve, we've got to stop it now before this gets out of control
A
even more now Governor Abbott has stepped in. Look, he called, he named Care and muscle brother terrorist organization. We haven't move the ball enough on that. But he started. He also was instrumental. This situation came on the show the other day in Texas was rectified, was it not, this Muslim takeover of this taxpayer paid for water park?
E
Yeah, that's exactly right. So there was a event going to be held at a taxpayer funded water park public facility and they were going to have a Muslim only event there, which obviously violates all kinds of laws. But you know, the leftists are okay with that. It turns out when they say separation of church and state, what they really mean is just no Christianity. It's a war on everything Christian. But they're totally fine with, you know, the Muslims having, you know, being on government property and hosting a Muslim only event to the exclusion of everyone else. So this is just part and parcel of their plan. To Governor Abbott's great credit, you know, he has stepped in. Ken Paxton has stepped in. So we have people in Texas who have been talking about this for a long time. As you know, I started talking about these issues in Texas a couple of years ago and was roundly criticized by the Democrats, of course, pointing out that we have two Muslims in our state legislature now from Pakistan. They're not America First. They're trying to advance things that destroy America and destroy Texas. And so, you know, when you have an event like this, fortunately with social media, Sarah Gonzalez did a lot of work on this, kind of blowing it up. You know, we've been able to just with public pressure and the outcry because more people are awake now to this threat. You know, I've been talking about it for two years. Seems like every politician is starting to come our way. The people are demanding, everywhere I go across the state, people are demanding we do something about this and stop this. And to Governor Abbott's credit and Ken Paxton's credit, finally more is being done here in Texas and our politicians are finally taking it seriously.
A
They're going to push and push and push until they're stopped. Bo, you're running for railroad commissioner. Where do people go on your social media, which always comes in a little hot, and also your website to find out more about you and your race.
E
Yeah, it's beaufrench.com website and then on Twitter, that's the main place is just owFrench.
A
Bo, and thank you for all the work you've done down in Tarrant County. Just extraordinary.
E
Thank you.
A
Extraordinary individual. Thank you. Brother Leahy. What in the hell went on down in Tennessee today? Why did they allow that to happen in the State House. Why was there no call for decorum, sir?
C
First, let's get to the main point of what was accomplished this week in Tennessee. The governor called a special session. The General assembly met, they changed the districts. It's now going to be a 90 Republican congressional district, Republican delegation in the US House from Tennessee, and the governor signed that bill into law. So that's what got accomplished today. Now, what you saw there was basically the very, the violent, crazy leftist fringe, they put together, they do these it's
A
not, it's not, it's not the French, it's not the French. You don't, you don't think at the University of Miss Memphis or at 10% of Tennessee are these schools down there. This is what colleges turn in. This is what high schools. Hang on, hang on. I'm gonna take a short break and keep you around. LEAHY when you work with me at Breitbart, you were a fire breather. Have you gotten soft since you started going to law school? Is this law school thing a problem

Today is Make America Healthy again, having any impact whatsoever. Short commercial break LEAHY on the other side, The dollar's convertibility into gold ended in 1971. Gold was fixed at $35 an ounce. Well, fast forward to today and the US dollar has lost over 85% of its purchasing power. Gold, on the other hand, is increased in value by over 12,000%. That's why Central banks are buying gold at record levels. That's why major firms like Vanguard and Blackrock hold significant positions in gold. And that's why I encourage you to consider diversifying your savings with physical gold from Birch Gold Group. But it starts with education. Birch Gold just announced their Learn and Earn Precious Metals event. This free online event rewards you for learning the basics of investing in precious metals.

You know the, the anthropic what we've been talking about there, what they came out with a couple weeks ago that shocked everybody. That's a combination of artificial intelligence, cyber and hey, it's going to be out there in the community. And, and let me say this, some certain bad hombres are going to get their hands on things like that and use Hometitle lock.com promo code Steve. That's Hometitle lock.com promo Code Steve.

Michael Patrick Lehi was a day of huge accomplishment in Tennessee had tipped to Tennessee 90. The Cohen District in Memphis been controversial for so long. It's so proud of some. It's a red letter day in the Volunteer State to have this happen. Walk us through it.
C
Yeah. Also so just so you know, this has been accomplished in three days and great credit to speaker of the House Cam Sexton, Governor Bill Lee, Lieutenant Governor McNally and Majority Leader Jack Johnson. Look, the Cam section who I know very well believes.
A
Hang on Marsha Blackburn, the President, United States and the Warren Posse and many grassroots that Called this was a team effort, was it not?
C
Absolutely. And the other thing, just to say, you know, Cam Sachs and the Republicans are not at all afraid of the crazy, aggressive leftists that you saw in the capital today. These are people who don't have any jobs and their job is to show up and protest. Look, Cam Sexton said, let, let them come on in. We'll, we'll let them protest. If they get too crazy, we'll throw them out. Which they did. They got the vote through. Governor Billy signed the bill. And if you want to talk about action, action, action, Steve, you got it in Tennessee this week. Here, let me give you an example. So the 9th district, which used to be, you know, just Memphis, Steve Cohen, the Democrat, he's going to be gone because the new 9th district goes from Shelby county all the way up to Williamson county, just south of Nashville. Within, I think, half an hour of the end of the Tennessee General Assembly, State Senator Brent Taylor from Memphis announced his candidacy for that dis, that seat in the 9th district. He was endorsed by Marsha Blackburn. He was also endorsed by Senator Bill Haggerty. And I'm going to break some news for you right now. Steve. He is, he's a very successful business guy. He just transferred $1 million in a loan to his campaign. He, he's at a campaign stop in Savannah, Tennessee tonight as we speak. I'm sure he'll be happy to be on your program. This is the guy who stood up to make Memphis matter. He championed bringing in the task force. And now he just put, he put together a bill that allows the state to take over the failed and failing Memphis Shelby county school system. He's, he's pure maga. And this is Action, Action, Action from Tennessee. The Democrats who are crazy, have been diminished by their antics today. And so you're going to see an even stronger MAGA vote. Yeah, there's Brent right there. You're going to see a stronger mega vote in November than you've ever seen in Tennessee. And we were 65, 35 for Trump. It's going to be very, very strong for MAGA and conservative Republicans in Tennessee in November.
A
Fabulous. And Steve Cohen's the first one to bite the bullet. We got Benny Thompson and Clyburn to go, but great work. Mitro Packaging. Where do they go to get the Tennessee star? Where they go to your social media
C
feed, go to tessistar.com tessistar.com I'm at Michael P. Leahy on X. And our three hours a day we do our radio program and it's broadcast on YouTube X everywhere.
A
Michael Patrick Leahy, thank you so much. Great work, great work in the Volunteer State volunteers. You've done good. 9 oh, thank you. Fantastic. What a pathfinder. Make General Jackson proud of you. That's what General Jackson used to do there. Tony Lyons. I have Tony up we're going to go now. We've been in Texas, we went to Tennessee, now we're going to go to Louisiana. So Politico had a. As Politico as want to do a quite snarky story that said, because the Louisiana race comes down, something very simple. It's Cassidy versus Bobby Kennedy. It is, it is the big farmer, the food processors, all that versus the make America healthy again. So Tony, walk us through what the strategy is down there and what the stakes are because Cassidy's been a thorn in the side of the MAHA movement from the beginning. Tony Lyons.
F
Yeah, definitely. I mean, Cassidy has stood in the way of everything. Just time after time he, you know, really hammered Bobby at the congressional hearings at the very start. He's clearly just been fighting to protect the interests of Big Pharma and he's clearly taking money, it's clearly corrupt. And his dedication is to those companies, to those multi billion dollar companies that have been poisoning the American public for a generation, that have led us to have the sickest children on earth. And this has to stop. And Bobby Kennedy has this incredible plan, this agenda to make us healthier and to solve this problem that is an embarrassment to the country, a danger for the military and just a disgrace to the entire country. And Cassidy is the one standing in the way. So we have to get rid of him. Everybody has to mobilize to get rid of Cassidy so that Bobby Kennedy can get the job done.
A
This is why I want to have Tony on, because I talked to Tony at length about this and about the race and what's going on. The litany of Cassidy as anti maga is legendary. He voted to impeach, he's hated President Trump. He's, he's a, he hates maga, he hates the grassroots. Let's leave that aside. This is a mano, a mano throwdown for a guy that represents big Pharma. He is the epitome, he is the ether, he is the, the main thing. When you look at and people sit there and go, big pharma runs it. Well, if you've had a belly full of big Pharma running it, Bobby Kennedy is our guy and this is the fight we wanted. We finally got the guy that represents him the most. He's a doctor. He takes all the standard traditional positions to defend big Pharma, defend the drug distribution companies, the big, the big drugstore companies, all of it. I mean, his, his record on defending that is unparalleled. That's why this fight is so important now. And that being said, do you feel that, do you think we've got the momentum down there? Do you think we're getting traction on the Maha issues? Sir?
F
Definitely. I mean, Let low is, is clearly on Bobby Kennedy side. She's been posting repeatedly over the last month, just day after day, pro Maha things, Pro Maha on school lunches, on food dyes, on so many different things. She is right on board. She will vote with him. She will help, you know, with the Maha movement. And, you know, clearly Fleming isn't the right guy. Clearly Cassidy is an obstacle that we have to get around. So, you know, this is an incredible battle. And if we win this battle, which is next week, and if everybody mobilizes to make sure that Letlo has a big victory and then gets to have, you know, it's going to go to a runoff, that's clear. And that will then be in mid June. But we have to make sure that Letlo is in the mix. She's doing great. Now, we've been spending hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads, on emails, on all kinds of things. So we think we can get this done, but we need the entire force of all of your followers.
A
So. So if the grassroots in the war and posse and the grassroots down there turn out, at least some of the polling I've seen actually has Cassidy running third. I mean, it would be historic because I don't think, at least the way I see the tea leaves now, no one can get to 50% plus one vote. It'll go to runoff like, like in Texas. But if it was Fleming and Ledlow, if, if he did not make a sitting US Senator that represents, has all the money from Big Pharma, did not make the runoff, that would be historic. That would go a long way to trying to break the back of the grip that Big Pharma has on the United States Senate, would it not, sir?
F
Yeah. That would send a very strong message that there's no amount of money that's gonna make people in this country willing to allow their kids to get poisoned by these companies, that these companies have had their run, they've lied to the public, they've controlled the media. You know, they've been able to get away with it and you know, They've got, in their own ways, kinds of liability shields so that nobody has personal responsibility for the damage that's been done to every child in this country. And that ends now. Now they will have responsibility, and they will begin to see that the people in this country will not stand for it. And this will be the first blow. And people will see it's early on in the midterm races, and they will see that they're going to have to start to pivot. They're going to have to start to change that. The American people want that, and they won't stand for anything less.
A
So we got a couple minutes. I want you to take Bobby Kennedy and pivoting to the midterm itself, I just saw the other day, he's coming out with one of the ones I think has got to be addressed, this antidepressants, where every kid, particularly little boys, are trying to get little boys on it. These young women are all on it. It's a plague on our kids. As you see, the pivot for the midterms, for the general right, for the national general midterm election. Where do you see Bobby? What are the two or three things you want him to focus on?
F
Yeah. So you see in all kinds of ways, there's real progress being made so, you know, in the drugging of the children in this country, so that, you know, children are bringing pillboxes to school, high school students with these big pillboxes that people only used to have when they were over 80 years old. And they're on SSRIs, they're on all kinds of drugs that are making them violent, lonely, isolated, leading to sexual dysfunction. I mean, they're so incredibly over diagnosed, overmedicated. They're disconnected. And Kennedy really wants to focus on nutrition, sleep, exercise, getting these kids to take their lives back. That's what the kids want. That's what parents all around the country want, and that's what has to happen. And, you know, battles like this, getting Cassidy out of there, but getting so many people in the midterms out of there and focusing on the gift that Maha is to the Republican Party that everybody knows, every parent knows that their children have been under attack, and they want people in power who are gonna fight back. And Bobby Kennedy and the Maha movement are that force that can take this country back.
A

What else you got about making us be healthier?
F
Yeah, just a couple of things. So, you know, one of the things that you're seeing all around the country is that people are demanding real food. They're tired of fake food, of ultra processed food. They're tired of, you know, like I've said, they're tired of their kids being poisoned. So one of the things that's happening is that Steak n Shake that has more than 400 stores all around the country. They have hired their own chief, Maha Person, and his job is to make sure that they have more real food. And they're, you know, like so many other country companies all around the country, they're responding to consumer demand that we've created in less than a year. And this demand is for getting rid of seed oils, getting rid of pesticides, using beef tallow, getting real grass fed beef, having real potatoes, you know, real food. That's what people want, that's what parents want. They're demanding it. And we think that's going to go, you know, to, it's going to go national that chains all around the country are going to start making those changes. So you might have a company like Politico coming out with stories saying we're not doing anything. And I think we're changing it from every side, from hhs, from above to demand.
A
Okay, but here's the point. You are doing something. That's what Politico is saying. You're not. Remember, they're on the side of big Pharma. Tell me about the. Give me a minute on the farm bill.
F
So the farm bill, you know, the problem was that they had a section in there that gave a liability shield for pesticide companies. And once again, the American public doesn't want cancer causing pesticides in their food, in their products. So, you know, and a liability shield for anything is anti Maha and it's anti the American people. We don't want to protect companies. We want a government that helps protect people, children, all of us. So, you know, Rep. Luna had an amendment to take that out and there was massive pushback from all these companies, all their lobbyists. We got 60,000 texts out. We got thousands and thousands of people to make phone calls. We had rallies. We had dozens of partner organizations, and we got that through. So in the Farm Bill, now there is no liability shield for those companies, and they can't do it. And the only way to get rid of these dangerous products is, is to have liability. And we have that now. So that's a big win. And then the last thing is Dr. Fauci. So we need to have Dr. Fauci indicted, and it has to happen soon, because on some of the lies, the statute of limitations is coming up. He lied to Congress. He lied to the American people. He made up statistics. It was clearly all about power. It was about money. It killed thousands of people, unnecessarily, kept children out of schools. It's endless. And we need reconciliation. We need punishment.
A
We're on the Fauci situation. Skyhorse books in your social media, where they go, sir, keep up.
F
Yes, skyhorsepublishing.com we got books coming out all the time. We've got the war room books, which is just fantastic books. And then for maha, it's maha. Action.org thank you, brother.
A
Thank you, Tony. Appreciate you. McCabe, I'll have you back on tomorrow morning to do this in more detail. But Lula left without doing this presser. They normally have the joint thing in the Oval. It was an answered prayer for me because I didn't want. I didn't want the president sitting next to him. We got 90 seconds. Walk me through what happened.
F
All right, real quick.
A
The normal process is that world leader comes in, they greet the reporters in the Oval, and then they break off, and the president and the world leader will have sort of a meeting and luncheon that was reversed. Lula came in, he said, hey, first I want to do the meeting. We'll have lunch, and then I'll meet with the reporters. And then when it came time to go to the Oval, Lula said, I got to go. And then he basically had his own presser at the Brazilian embassy, denying President Trump his opportunity to talk to reporters with Lula in the Oval Office. Steve, can you do. He went to Brazil. But here's what I want to do. I want you to stay and get some information, because this is not like President Trump or the staff to let guys kind of come in and change their deal. Then I heard he gave a very negative press conference over at the embassy. So let's get on top of it. We'll kick off the show tomorrow morning with Neil McCabe from the White House. How's that? Very good, sir. Thank you. Neil, where do people go for your, for your social media in the interim? Steve, you can find me on all the socials at reporter McCabe, big story about Brazil. And we're also open tomorrow about where we stand with the war, where we stand with this negotiation because I think they're trying to jerk President trump around. Neil McCabe, thank you very much. Appreciate you, sir. Our man at the White House, Mike Lindell, by the way, Brian Glenn is just broke the story just broke in the Daily Mail. Brian Glenn's gonna be with me tomorrow at 11:30. It's Brian Glenn's last day at Real America's Voice. He's going on to greener pastures. We work with Brian for a long time and consider him a buddy. So he's going to be on 11:30 tomorrow morning. Mike Lindell, talk to me about a deal, sir.

Title: Massive MAGA Victories In Tennessee And Texas
Date: May 8, 2026
Host: Stephen K. Bannon
Main Theme:
This episode centers on recent major political victories for the MAGA movement in Tennessee and Texas, focusing on redistricting successes, populist policy fights, and grassroots conservative momentum heading into the midterms. The show also explores related events in Louisiana, critiques the influence of “Big Pharma” and globalism, and provides commentary on internal and external threats to the American constitutional system. Throughout, Bannon and guests emphasize the need for confrontation and political mobilization against opponents they characterize as “radical revolutionaries” on the left, globalist corporate interests, and foreign actors.

“He’s a quasi Marxist, at least authoritarian… Lula is the head of the BRICS nations and trying to break the dollar.”
(Bannon, 02:00)
“This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we’re going medieval on these people.”
(Bannon, 11:02)
“If you’re not up for it or… don’t like what Trump’s doing on margin… we’re gonna hunker down and we’re gonna win. Like you see him winning.”
(Bannon, 13:49)
“We are dealing with people who don’t abide by the same rules of society and culture that we do… they are on the side of evil.”
(Beau French, 23:07)
“The Cam section who I know very well believes… Republicans are not at all afraid of the crazy, aggressive leftists… Cam Sexton said, let them come on in. We’ll, we’ll let them protest. If they get too crazy, we’ll throw them out. Which they did. They got the vote through. Governor Billy signed the bill.”
(Michael Patrick Leahy, 32:11)
“This is just the first time they got out there and they’re in a statehouse… These people are radical revolutionaries… Either get them the hell out of the country or throw them in prison.”
(Bannon, 12:55)
“If [Senator Cassidy] did not make the runoff, that would be historic… that would go a long way to trying to break the back of the grip that Big Pharma has on the United States Senate, would it not, sir?”
(Bannon, 39:05)
“It is about, you know, they hate America. They hate our laws, they hate our people, which is why they’ve done everything they can to import as many people as they can stir up all of this discord among people… These Marxists are, you know, they, they will team up with anybody, which is why, you know, we call it the Red Green Alliance.”
(Beau French, 23:16)
“Action, action, action, Steve, you got it in Tennessee this week.”
(Michael Patrick Leahy, 32:33)
This episode of Bannon’s War Room details what the host frames as a breakthrough week for MAGA conservatives after electoral and policy victories in the South—especially around redistricting in Tennessee (and steps in Texas and Louisiana). Bannon and his guests portray these wins as the result of grassroots energy forcing establishment Republicans to action, while redrawing political lines to secure Republican congressional majorities for the next cycle.
Throughout, Bannon casts progressive opposition and protest in apocalyptic terms—as radical, violent, un-American, and deserving of crackdown. The show extends this narrative into culture wars (notably in Texas), paints establishment politicians like Louisiana’s Senator Cassidy as bought by “Big Pharma,” and trumpets Bobby Kennedy’s challenge as a populist fight for health and freedom.
The overall message is one of relentless confrontation—both at the ballot box and in public discourse—against what Bannon calls the “mob rule” of the left and the entrenched interests of the corporate and globalist establishment. The MAGA movement, he argues, has learned to use institutional levers (like redistricting) as effectively or better than its opponents, marking a new era of right-wing political assertiveness.
