Flow & Tone

The episode maintains a combative, urgent tone. Bannon positions his audience as frontline defenders of democracy, routinely labeling opposition (media, Democrats, intelligence community) as corrupt, illegitimate, or traitorous. There’s a focus on global conspiracy, linking alleged U.S. election fraud with events in South Korea and Brazil, and repeatedly invoking the need for direct action and international collaboration among “patriots.”

---

Summary: For Those Who Haven’t Listened

• The episode opens with mockery of Democratic/legacy media concern about the 2026 elections, painting them as illegitimate and conspiratorial.
• Jim Marchant describes repeated election “theft” in Nevada, demanding sweeping reforms and relaying faith in Trump to intervene.
• Bannon and guests discuss deep-seated distrust of the intelligence community, particularly focused on John Brennan and a supposed network of “deep state” operatives.
• The show pivots to global themes with ex-South Korea Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn denouncing CCP-orchestrated election meddling; he calls for active U.S. alliance and even direct Trump involvement.
• Repeated motifs: any delay or opposition to “reforms” is proof of conspiracy, Democrats and media are “at war” with the people, and U.S. election issues are a front in a broader, international battle for free democracy.

---

Closing

The episode underlines the Fraud Fighter Summit’s claim that free elections are under coordinated global threat, linking American conservative concerns to world events and calling for uncompromising action and international alignment among anti-fraud "cartels" to combat what they see as the true, globalist cartel.

Transcript

[Steve Bannon]

Saying, Trying to find it. I'm trying to find one thing, man. You're a brilliant man.

[Ian Trottier]

Give me.

[Steve Bannon]

Play devil's advocate if you don't believe it.

[Ian Trottier]

Just give me one thing.

[Steve Bannon]

We're better off as a country right now on. On June 16th versus February 20th. Just give me one thing. I'll.

[Rachel Maddow]

I'll let you go.

[Steve Bannon]

Take your shot. I'm searching for it, Steve. The Knicks are all right. Won the NBA championship. The U.S. opens. The U.S. opens at Shinnecock. I can keep going. Don't talk to me financially. Hold it, hold it, hold it. Elon Musk is now worth. His personal net worth is now worth more than the whole of Bitcoin because the short squeeze over it. I can keep going if you want. It's up to almost, almost one point, I think.

[Ian Trottier]

$3 trillion.

[Steve Bannon]

Hold it. How do you like my.

[Jim Marchant]

How do you.

[Steve Bannon]

How do you like my. The 300 billion instead of going to the Persians.

[Trennis Evans]

Love that.

[Steve Bannon]

How about this? Let's. Let's say we're going to set. That reconstruction fund is going to go to the United States to compensate us. If Pete needs 350 right away, I can vouch for 300 billion. It's Qatar, UAE and the Saudis. Okay, I found it. We found 3 billion. We need Banning in the White House. You gotta be walking in.

[Ian Trottier]

Pete.

[Steve Bannon]

Pete, why are you wandering around? Why are you wandering around talking to Corden, who just got turfed out? Here's what you do. Get on the plane and go back over to Qatar, right? Go to Doha. Go to our base there. Have a meeting with the guy and say, hey, look, we rethought this third 300 billion is going to come to us to compensate us and maybe a little cash bonus for the sailors and airmen and soldiers and Marines that were over there. A little, like I said, a little something for the effort. Bannon 2028. I'm on board. Stop, Stop. We got war room, war rooms on a roll. War room's bigger. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you bowling. We'll see you tomorrow morning. Thank you, sir.

[Jim Marchant]

Okay.

[Steve Bannon]

Major conference in. In Las Vegas. We're going to talk about. It's about defining fraud. The CIA in business, all of it, but most importantly, voter fraud. Right now, this is the vanguard of the folks that are going to save us in this election cycle. And trust me, the progressive left knows it. We're going to go there live. After we have a short cold open. Let's let it rip.

[Narrator/Reporter]

So imagine this scenario. Election day is approaching. The White House is fear mongering. About supposed election fraud. This is not hard to imagine. White House is fear mongering about election fraud. But then they decide they're going to encourage vigilantes to take action to stop this supposed fraud. So Trump supporters decide that they're going to do citizen patrols of polling places because the Trump White House has been messaging that they should do that. And Trump supporters start showing up to do these patrols with guns. So now we're getting reports of armed vigilantes at polling places and obviously protests against them and probably confrontations with them. In response to those reports, Trump announces that he must keep the peace. He must send armed federal agents to polling places to protect the election. That's one scenario. What would we do in that scenario? Here's another scenario. Some foreign countries, say Iran or Russia, Russia or China, whoever, some foreign country decides to unleash a wave of AI generated deep fake videos of candidates and other people in American politics. And these are fake videos, but they're good, they're good quality and people don't always recognize that they are fake. These fakes are designed to hurt Democratic candidates and Trump critics. They're designed to confuse voters and muddy the waters in terms of what's going on in the election. When news organizations start reporting on the deepfakes, the Trump administration goes ballist and starts threatening all news organizations that report on the deep fakes. They start telling news organizations that they have to censor any coverage of this foreign influence operation as a matter of national security. That's a second scenario.

[Ian Trottier]

What?

[Narrator/Reporter]

What would we do then? Here's a third scenario. Voting's over. But before the states can certify the results of the vote, Trump's Justice Department sends FBI agents out to go seize the ballots, supposedly to investigate irregularities in election administration. They seize the ballots before the results are final. That's the third scenario. What would we do then? What are the options, really, practically speaking, what are the options for protecting our elections from our own federal government? That was the question at the center of a war gaming session that was held just a few days ago by 10 Democratic U.S. senators, including the Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, plus several election experts. Those three scenarios I just described, they gamed those out. Those three very specific and not at all unimaginable scenarios. Politico reported that in these tabletop drills, quote, they game planned legal injunctions to bar armed federal agents or armed citizens from voting sites and lawsuits to force the Trump administration to return ballots if they're confiscated. In key contests that could decide control of Congress. They Also choreographed communication strategies across elected leaders and campaigns and advocacy groups to combat misinformation and disinformation designed to sow distrust in the results.

[Rachel Maddow]

I think, number one, they need to prepare to vote, right? They need to understand that the rules may have changed, the registration may be being challenged. We're seeing Donald Trump do that. And so everyone needs to understand the rules and they need to have a plan to vote, even if they voted before. They need to make out a plan about how they're going to vote this time and make sure they are prepared. Number two is they need to be educated. I mean, I'm thrilled, Rachel, that you are doing this episode tonight with your enormous audience and people paying attention because it is educating people about the threats that are coming so that they won't be quite as scary, they won't seem quite as out of the blue. So people need to get educated and to share that information with others. I started Democracy Docket actually to be a resource that people could share information from. There are lots of good sources of information to share. And then finally, if we get down to the place where Republicans or Donald Trump are trying to interfere in the election, then we're going to need people to mobilize. We're going to need them to mobilize peacefully. We're going to need them to mobilize within the law. But we're going to need the public to be prepared to be active in protesting any efforts by the Republicans to, To.

[Jim Marchant]

To.

[Rachel Maddow]

To overturn the will of the voters. Look, the lawyers are going to do a lot of heavy lifting here. The political professionals to do a lot of levy let a heavy lifting here. But it is ultimately of the United States to really do their job. And if that happens, I think we'll be fine.

[Steve Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these. People's 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 great going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

[Trennis Evans]

MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul,

[Steve Bannon]

I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and

[Rachel Maddow]

what is my purpose?

[Steve Bannon]

If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. WAR ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Banner FOREIGN. The 16th of June year of our Lord 2026. We're gonna go to the White House. We got Neil, we're gonna go for updates of what's happening over the G7. Been a lot going on today and it looks like they've released or leaked to Axios 12 of the 14 points of this memorandum of understanding that's supposedly going to get us to a larger deal. We'll talk about that. Maybe if we don't get in time for this, we'll do it tomorrow morning. Get experts. I want to start in Vegas where a very important conference going on about fraud. They're talking about fraud, the CIA, corporate America, but specifically tomorrow, all day. And Tina Peters will be there talking about voter fraud. It's not a random event. That Rachel Maddow, that only does her show, she's the biggest voice on msnbc. She's the leader of that platform. She only does a show once a week now, I think for 20 million bucks Monday, the whole show was about basically the defense and the integrity of this midterm election where she's already accusing President Trump of having an army of vigilantes that are prepared to basically go in and, and disrupt this election. We all understand that if the Democrats can't steal it, they can't win. They know that. Just look at Los Angeles, the great state of Nevada. Jim Marchant, you remember Jim from years and years and years. And now he is the nominee to be Secretary of State for the state of Nevada. Is Jim there? Can we get Jim up? Okay, there we are, Jim. Okay, we're gonna do this.

[Jim Marchant]

Thank you.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you, Denver. Yeah, we got it. So, Jim, talk to me. Rachel Maddow says there's a group of vigilantes. President Trump is fear mongering. They got, they got Mark Elias, a guy you know very well. I mean, these people have been attacking you. I've known you, Jim, I think now for eight, nine years. You've been under attack by these people from the beginning. Walk us through. Where do you think we stand with security this midterm election? I know you running for Secretary of State in Nevada overall, where do you think we stand and what is the conference out there going to tee people up for, sir?

[Jim Marchant]

Well, I hope that. Well, for the past nine months we've been feeding Tulsi Gabbard information about the election system, you know, all over the country. And hopefully she got it to President Trump and I think she has and that we will do something to secure the election for the midterms. And that's what I'm counting on. Because if we don't, we don't win. And if we have the same election system that has been in place for years and years, then MAGA candidates like me don't win. Uniparty candidates win. But hopefully that's going to happen. And I have a good confidence in President Trump that he's going to try to do something certainly within the law, of course, and enable candidates like myself to be elected. So I'm looking forward to that. And of course, as you hear Rachel Maddow, the same old garbage that they've been spewing for years. Chuck Schumer, same thing. And they're, they're not going down without a fight. And we just have to be prepared to counter what they're, what they're going to do to us. So I'm looking forward to the fight again. I was in it in 22 and we're going to finish it up this time.

[Steve Bannon]

Jim. The one difference that they, they, they're quoting a political, political article. And I will talk about this tonight when I talk to you folks. They war gamed it. I mean, this is senators taking time and getting together with very sophisticated people on the election side. They war gamed it. Rachel Maddow and Politico wanted their side to know that they're war gaming various scenarios right now and that you're a group of dangerous vigilantes. Doesn't that concern you that you've got guys in the US Senate right now that are trying to war game out these midterm elections? I keep telling people that this is going to come down to a handful of patriots that are prepared to step in the breach. And I think we gotta get ice. I've been a big advocate of getting ICE to the polls also. But this is why the coalition's so important. This is why this conference is so important. It's going to come down to a cadre of people that are prepared to sit there and go, hey, I'm putting it all on the line, but I'm not prepared to have this election stolen. This U.S. senate under Chuck Schumer, the Democrats are war gaming various alternatives to thwart the MAGA movement.

[Ian Trottier]

Sir.

[Jim Marchant]

That's exactly right. And we knew they would. And so we've got to be smarter than they are. And that's what we've been working on since, gosh, I know that I sued after I lost the congress race in 2020 to start exposing the election fraud and all of that evidence that we've gathered since then we've turned over. And I hope they're using it and I think they are. And like I said, we've just got to be smarter than they are. And if we are, then we're going to be prevail in November and hold the House and Senate for the Republicans and finally, once and for all, fix our country.

[Steve Bannon]

I believe I've seen the unions out there, they've waited until votes come in, then they extended the mail in ballots. Has anything structurally. We got about a minute here. I'm gonna hold you through the break. Has anything structurally changed in Nevada at all, that, that you can hang your hat on, that you can tell people, hey, I think we've made some fundamental changes here. So they're not gonna be able to steal it in broad daylight like they're stealing it from Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles.

[Jim Marchant]

Very little. And I don't think they're going to show their hand during the primary too much. But during the general, they're gonna do the same thing they did last time. When I ran in 22, I was ahead 20,000 votes the next morning. And for the eight days, the next eight days, they were able to manufacture enough ballots that I lost by two points. So we have to stop that. And that's why we have implored on President Trump, you know, help us do something, you know, get rid of the mail in ballots. And of course, we've got Senator John Thune, I believe, blocking the SAVE Act. I think that would help if we could just get single day voting and get rid of the mail in ballots and my preference, and once I get in to be Secretary of State, I'm going to get rid of the Dominion voting machines. We're going to do hand voting, we're going to do voting on a precinct level basis, we're going to do hand counting on a precinct level basis and we're going to clean up the voter rolls once and for all and we're going to let everybody prove that they're a citizen. And if we do that, then we can, then I believe the proper people representatives will be elected that the people people want. And that's my goal.

[Steve Bannon]

Jim, hang on. We're holding through the break. Everybody take your number two Princip out. Jim was up on election night in the morning after by 20,000 votes. 20,000 votes and they stole it. Short break. Back in a moment. Buy gold and put some silver in your pocket. I know what you're thinking. Everything's expensive right now. How am I going to buy gold? Pull your head out of the sand. One thing you can control Right now that doesn't cost you anything out of pocket is diversifying your retirement savings. Birch Gold Group will help you convert an old 401k from a previous employer or an IRA into a physical gold IRA. Let me repeat that. Birch Gold will help you now convert an old 401k from a previous employer or an IRA into a physical IRA in gold. You know something? That's a hedge against inflation. Listen to this.

[Jim Marchant]

War Room.

[Steve Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. So Jim Marchant is now the Republican nominee for Secretary of State. State in Nevada. Jim, how important is the Save America Act? Because right now President Trump's trying to attach it to fisa, to this, to that, to the new reconciliation and Thune can't be bothered. What would you tell John th about what's in that act about IDs, mail in ballots, et cetera? How important is it?

[Jim Marchant]

It's extremely important. And I can't for the life of me figure out why any Republican in the House or Senate would not unanimously vote for the SAVE Act. I mean, we need voter id, we need to get rid of the mail in ballots in order to have a chance of candidates like myself winning in November. So it's critically important and I can't understand why they are holding this up. You know, I kind of have ideas on my own. Maybe they're not really Republicans, you know, so I can't understand why they won't want pass it. But it's absolutely critical that we get this passed. And I don't. I'm praying for President Trump and for him to prevail on this and we got to do it. It's just no Choice. We have to do it. What?

[Steve Bannon]

You're one of the most egregious cases of someone getting it stolen in broad daylight. Right. The last time when you were up by 20,000. And they just wait.

[Trennis Evans]

How?

[Steve Bannon]

As soon as they get over the number, election's over. We got it right. It's so. It's so brazen in Nevada.

[Jim Marchant]

Yeah.

[Steve Bannon]

Why did you take him? Why did you.

[Jim Marchant]

What?

[Steve Bannon]

They know it. Why did you. Why did you go to Tulsi Gabbard? Why not dhs, FBI, doj? Why'd you go to the Director of National Intelligence?

[Jim Marchant]

Yeah. She's the only one we had contact with in an agency like that that we could go to with the evidence. And. And we kind of like her. I mean, we think she's kind of thinks the way we do and wants to fix the election system. And I don't mean when I say fix, I don't mean fix it in one way or another. Just level the playing field. Because that's all we want. We just want a level playing field so that whoever the people vote for actually get in office. So we just want to show the evidence. You know, we've seen the evidence. I know you've seen the evidence. And we just wanted to get it to her and hopefully have her influence. President Trump, which I believe we have. And then to the point where he has proposed the SAVE act and items in it too, and he understands how critical it is for voter ID and cleaning up the voter rolls. Those are the two most important things,

[Steve Bannon]

particularly in place like Nevada. It's outrageous. I don't want to give up any inside baseball. But do you believe that Tulsi and people around her that that action is being. This is grinding through the system and action is being taken?

[Jim Marchant]

I think it is. And I was really disappointed to see her have to resign, but really like her. And I think it is. I think we made some progress. We actually turned some people inside that were like a lot of the UNI party saying there was no election problems. And, you know, election systems. Fine, just let it work. There may be a few things, but, you know, we don't need to worry about it. So I think we turn some people.

[Steve Bannon]

Jim, where do people go for your campaign site? Social media. All of it, sir.

[Jim Marchant]

Yeah. JimMarshant.com and Facebook. Jim Marchant. You just Google my name and I think it'll all come up. I think it's all on my website. Jimmarshant.com J I M M A R C H a n t.com so you know, come join me for. With the fight. I need all the help I can get. And I'm a fighter, always have been. And we're gonna. We're gonna go to the finish line,

[Steve Bannon]

run through the tape. Jim Marchant, you were a fighter and would make an amazing Secretary of State for Nevada. Good luck, sir.

[Jim Marchant]

Great. Thank you, Steve.

[Steve Bannon]

Now I think. Okay, I think I got it. I'll play it later. You got Mark Warner. You got Nicole Wallace. They're in full. You got Katie Turt. They're in full. I've never seen meltdown like this. I've never seen meltdown like this. They have to get Jay Clayton in as DNI next week. I think I know why. Look what he just said about Tulsi Gabbard. I think I know why. Why are they moving heaven and earth? Just Jay Clayton to fill out. When he was the chairman of the executive committee of Sullivan and Cromwell, John Foster Dulles old law firm, basically the outside counsel for Goldman Sachs. Just to fill out, you know, have you met foreigners in the last 10 or 15 years? Would take you a month. It would take somebody two or three months to go through it. That's part of the confirmation process. Why are they rushing it through for next Wednesday? Why are they going to have the vote on Thursday? Why they have to have this consent? Not one Senator Tommy Tuberville. Somebody can't say, whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's just slow down this train. Why are they jamming it in there? I will tell you why. They do not want Bill Pulte to step foot into DNI next week. Why is that? I don't know. Fulton County, Georgia. What happened in Maricopa County? The Tulsi. No. Now we know Nevada now. You know Jay Clayton's a good man, but didn't break any glass at sdny. None. Zero. He's a systems player, and they're trying to get somebody. When all those Democrats, when Mark Warner is sitting there going, we have to do this, we have to do this, we have to do this. What does that tell you? By definition, I don't want to do it. Slow it down. Ian Trache has been a guy looking at the investigation of how corrupt the CIA and former leaders are. Ian, do you feel comfortable that we're jamming in the head of the CIA's pick to be DNI? I want to get an objective observation from you, sir. Do you feel comfortable with that, given your intense investigation of the CIA and certain leadership members of it?

[Ian Trottier]

Yeah. I mean, Steve, this is clearly a power stroke from the Powers that be and the CIA, they are covering up what they, what I'm exposing. The CIA is completely, completely gone. It's corrupt. It's part of the global regime, Steve. And we know this in part from a former asset of, and possibly current Aston. But Patrick Byrne, who says that John Brennan, the subject matter of my book, John Brennan is still in control at the CIA. He still owns the top two layers. Steve. According to Patrick Byrne, who was recruited by David s. Cohen in 2006 to join and be an asset to the CIA, this is Patrick Byrne, the former Overstock CEO and co founder of Overstock. What I am exposing in High stakes treason is the most explosive political book of our country's existence, Steve. So, no, I do not feel comfortable at all with any moves and I don't trust any of the.

[Steve Bannon]

Hang on, I just want to make sure what Patrick and you were saying is that there's all Brennan acolytes in these key positions, right? The CIA has thousands and thousands of people. These are all people that have been working with Brennan, part of his team, people he's groomed, people he's molded, people he's put in leadership positions so that you've got a couple, you got a political appointee at the top, but it's irrelevant, right? You've got the whole system is a Brennan system. Is that basically your theory of the

[Ian Trottier]

case, Steve John Brennan created, as a result of executive orders of George Bush, he created the National Counterterrorism Center, a product of the Terrorist Threat Interrogation Center. This is John Brennan's brainchild. It's where he created his manipulation, his monopoly, the CT intel monopoly, which I detail in high stakes treason. So yes, even he himself, John Brennan, just weeks ago on msnbc, Steve, he referred to a legion, quote, a legion of political intelligence professionals in D.C. that are actively working against the Donald Trump administration. This is a paraphrase of exactly what John Brennan said on MSNBC weeks ago. So I refer to them, Steve, as gatekeepers.

[Steve Bannon]

Ian, we started, I know we saw the cold open. I'm gonna play it again tonight before I give my remarks. But Rachel Maddow took the entire hour of her show, which is the most powerful thing in progressive media, to go through the vigilantes like out in Vegas, these heroes and patriots of how they're trying to stop the election. But she leaked out the Politico story where the Senate, I'm sure, in conjunction with CIA or former CIA was, are war gaming. They're war gaming various alternatives of how to thwart exactly what you patriots in Las Vegas are trying to do to make sure we have free and fair elections. How does that sit with you?

[Ian Trottier]

Well, look, it makes me, it drives me, it drives me to work, work harder. I was in D.C. just weeks ago, Steve. I had somebody sponsor me to go there. I was able to exchange words with Ron Johnson briefly. He was familiar with the book. He's introduced me to a member of his office to work on this. Rick Scott was with Ron when I approached them and spoke with them outside the Capitol about high stakes treason. Chuck Grassley is another office that has expressed interest. There are various offices on the Hill that I've engaged to listen to the information in the book. In fact, just moments ago, I had a conversation with Peter Tickton and I asked Peter frankly what he thought of Ken Yonez, Jason Quinones in South Florida. This is information that I am trying to get to Jason Quinones asap and he can make. We can do some damage here in regards to these subpoenas that came out of the Ham Bondi DoJ as a request from Jim Jordan. So that is my focus at the moment, is getting Ken Yanis to look at this information regarding, as a compilation to the perjury, the perjury charges that came out of Jim Jordan's court regarding that 2023 testimony. Steve, something I haven't mentioned before to your program is something called Hamilton 68 dashboard and that's critical. It's an investigative journalist Jared Siegel spoken to, gave a testimony to Congress that same year, 2023, when John Brennan allegedly lied to Congress and He mentioned the Hamilton 68 dashboard. This is the high tech conglomerate that was organized to attack Donald Trump and smear him and create this fictitious Russian collusion hoax that's referred to as something called the Hamilton 68 dashboard, something your viewers should be looking at right now. It's a 40 plus page testimonial given by Jared Siegel that details this high tech attack on Our President in 2016 which John Brennan orchestrated regarding the Russian collusion hoax. So do I feel comfortable? No, absolutely not. Steve. Does it drive me harder to work faster? Absolutely.

[Steve Bannon]

Once you stay through the break, I want to make sure everybody gets the coordinates of how to get the book and all your research. The one thing that strikes me real quickly, Brennan is not chilled, but he's like in your grill. He's doing TV all the time. I mean, he feels he's. Brennan thinks he's winning and he's going to win this, that nothing's going to happen and his guys are going to stay in control of the CIA. If you look at his demeanor when he comes on tv, he's still very aggressive. He doesn't look like anybody's concerned about anything or cowed by anything. High stakes treason. Ian Trachea. We'll take a short break. We're gonna go back to Vegas in just a moment.

President Trump is dropping a $100 trillion bomb on the globalist. Jerome Powell's term is come to a close and he's installing a real America First Fed chair who will, according to Jim Rickards, slash rates and supercharge our reindustrialization. This is what one man is calling Trump's gift on America's 250th anniversary. Unleashing a historic super cycle in American mining, rare earths, uranium and gold. The same forces that turned $5,000 into over a million in less than five years during China's booms are hitting here now. Jim Rickards, the former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor has the battle plan. The gold royalty stock that could skyrocket in the next few years and the uranium power for AI. Don't miss this.

Do it and do it today. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Okay, Ian. Ian Trache is gonna, is gonna stick with, with us. I'm going to get back to him in a moment. I'd just like to add in the engine room in New York reminds me that Sullivan and Cromwell is the. Basically the law firm or basically is the CIA. John Foster Dulles, pre World War II. The reason he was one of the instrumental members of setting up OSS and was so close to Wild Bill Donovan, who also was a Wall street lawyer is because they were over in Europe doing all kind of deals and knew the power players over there and there's nothing wrong with that. Southern Cromwell is the law firm for Goldman Sachs and a tremendous law firm, but they're inextricably linked with the American intelligence community. And I think that might take, maybe we take a week or two and just check everything. We support Jay Clayton over dni, but I think it would give brother Bill Pulte, I don't know. Give Pulte a couple of weeks. Let him just rummage around and see what's going on. Check it out. It's got the President's confidence. That's what you need. He's done a terrific job over at the Housing Bureau and remember he came up with Trish, Big Tish James and all this. I think we give him a. And it has a logical conclusion anytime. Mark Warner and these Democrats are trying to jam something down your throat and got to get all kind of waivers and all kind of consents and we're not going to do any due diligence. Not going to do any due diligence. Something stinks to high heaven. They're trying to jam it down and hold up fisa. And they want the warrantless fisa. Screw them. Screw them. It's time. You're always talking about the rules. You got to play by the rules. Let's play by the rules. Let's do a normal. Let's just do a normal confirmation. Let's get all the paperwork. I think one of the things you got to do is list every meeting with a foreigner you've had for the last 10 years. Back when he was head of Sullivan and Cromwell's management committee, one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful law firm in the nation. Let's just do it and play by the rules. And if the confirmation takes and you got to go past the recess, which they're always going to take, it's not the end of the world. Bill Pulte is a safe pair of hands. Their fear of Bill Pulte. And this comes off the United States Senate. You just had Maddow and Politico. They're telling you they're war gaming. War gaming the midterm elections. This is the Senate reported in Politico and amplified by Rachel Matta. They're war gaming the midterm elections. These are senators and you know, they got consultants and advisors and they're all these deep state characters. So here we go again. Trent Evans joins us from Las Vegas. Trennis, we have a very special guest. I'm gonna turn it over to you for the interview. But brother, every time we see you, you're fighting for people. The little guy, whether it's in North Carolina or Tennessee or Tina Peters, you're just a fearless warrior. So glad to have you on here. Who is our guest? And go ahead and take the interview.

[Trennis Evans]

Well, thank you, Steve. It's always a pleasure to be here with you fighting for the country, fighting for freedom fighters and the people that are really doing the work in this country and the people that are exposing the truth. So we have here our guest today. We have former prime minister of South Korea, Hwang Kyo on, and he's here to share a little bit with us about what's happening in South Korea. So I will ask here. And he has translator here, Jennifer. So, Mr. On, I want to ask, you're witnessing in your country much of what we experienced in the United States when 2020 happened or we became aware of, because you're witnessing that and you have seen that. Where do you take this? Where does this headed in your country and what do you ask of us here in the United States?

[Hwang Kyo-ahn]

Korea has to go to the direction of erecting a free democracy. And we would like us to have a direct and decisive intervention into South Korea.

[Trennis Evans]

So you're a long standing ally. South Korea has been a United States ally. We have been on the same quest for freedom around the world as we see many countries. And you've witnessed now stolen elections there. And there's a lot of questions. And we see even the youth of South Korea is out in the streets. I see hundreds of thousands of your people in the street. Now, what do you say to those that say that this is everybody's progressive in the youth movement? What are we seeing? Absolutely a turn similar to like Charlie Kirk.

[Jim Marchant]

One.

[Hwang Kyo-ahn]

Now it's time for the young people to arise and take ownership. And in South Korea, the young people are taking actions and taking ownership. They are fighting against election fraud because they are enraged. And hundreds and thousands have gathered in Olympic park to protest and demonstrate. Charlie Kirk has been a factor in which they were motivated and also the older generation have joined in the fight. It is the time for young people to take back democracy and so that they could win the war to protect their rights to vote.

[Trennis Evans]

So you've seen this, we've discussed what's happening here. I want to know you're looking for a very decisive and direct intervention from the United States. And we know that that means President Trump, he has been a world leader fighting for freedom, fighting for free elections. Do you see the same problem in South Korean elections that we're having here? Is it really just a mirror image?

[Hwang Kyo-ahn]

They're completely the same but also more serious because unlike the United States, we have the communist factor because we have communist states as our neighbors. The United States do not have a communist state as a neighbor. So we face a much more serious problem because if we fail, we're going to be in the clutches of communization. So we are desperate and we're fighting with our lives. There are many people who are fighting together with us, but we need more strength. That's why we need President Trump to intervene as we have to fight against anti democratic forces including the current Lee Jae Myung regime.

[Steve Bannon]

Trennis Hang on for one second. Can you ask him directly was the Chinese Communist Party involved Directly? Was the Chinese Communist Party directly involved in the stealing of the last presidential election in South Korea?

[Trennis Evans]

Sir, sir, what is the Chinese Communist Party involvement, if any, are they involved in the stealing of the elections in South Korea?

[Hwang Kyo-ahn]

The Chinese CCP are directly involved. They are involved through an organization called AWEB which exports election fraud not only in Korea but all around the world. We've previously thought was only North Korea, but the Chinese CCP is behind all their actions. So because of CCP we're not able to to have electoral justice. That's why we are enraged and fighting. When I was the Prime Minister, I deployed Thaad so that we could thwart Chinese forces. That's why the Chinese CCP dislike me very much. Through Thaad, the United States and Korea are able to cooperate and collaborate in our security.

[Steve Bannon]

Trinis, can you.

[Trennis Evans]

Steve, you're hearing it there. They're saying the CCP is directly involved.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah. Can you ask the. It's pretty direct. Can you ask the Prime Minister Trinis, when he says direct, direct intervention by the United States and he wants President Trump getting engaged specifically, what does he mean by that? When he says he wants President Trump of the United States to directly intervene in this election? Stealing in South Korea. What is he requesting?

[Trennis Evans]

Sir, when you ask that the United States directly intervene, you're asking a President Trump to directly intervene in the matter as it's unfolding in South Korea. What do you mean specifically by intervene?

[Hwang Kyo-ahn]

There has been massive and pervasive election fraud which took place around 2020, 2024 and 2025 in this year's local by election, June 3, they started to also rig the election day votes. Previously, they only they focused their election fraud manipulation on early day votes that take place for two days prior to the election day. However, this time they have started to rig and manipulate the election day votes. And because of this, a lot of people became aware of the election fraud. A lot of the voters could not vote at all because there was a shortage of ballots in many polling stations nationwide in Korea. So the people, especially the young, became enraged and they're fighting for their vote, fighting their right to vote. That is why they have entered this war. The current administration is trying to oppress the voice of the people by force. And we are trying to protect and express the voices of the people in this aspect. We would like the US to support us.

[Trennis Evans]

Steve one of the things that I'm hearing, I've been listening and the former prime minister and I have been speaking today, that we are seeing so many of the same blueprint opportunities or moments like what we saw with Arizona in 2024 and 2022 and others and what in 2020. There's so many uncanny similarities. It's almost like they picked up the model that was used in the United States in 2020 and carried it straight over across the across the globe and implanted it in South Korea. I mean, it's the same thing. We've been discussing that. Dr. Frank and I've been discussing it. I've been discussing here with former Prime Minister on this is scary what I'm seeing and what I'm listening to. So I got a question on that. Do you see the same model and what we witnessed in United States elections 2020, 2022 as what's unfolded now in your country in South K.

[Jim Marchant]

And so.

[Hwang Kyo-ahn]

Doctor Frank examined when he visited Korea and stated that the election fraud is the same in Korea as in the United States. So I've been fighting against election fraud for more than five years and I've been wondering why they show the same patterns in election fraud in Korea as well as in the United States. And I came to the conclusion that there is an international election fraud cartel and we need to fight together against this Election fraud cartel. So we need to have a cartel which is for justice.

[Trennis Evans]

So see, what you're hearing here is that it's the same thing.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, hang on for one second. Because you had the premiere of the movie with the Bolsonaros. We've got Le Pen's going on trial. The Leshen there was stolen. You know, they had all these disruptions with her election, and now they're putting on trial, she can't run again. Does the Prime Minister believe when he says international cartel, is he signaling that that is the intelligence services? Does he believe the maybe rogue elements of the intelligence services that we know made contact with Lula in Brazil and was involved, as we know, in the 2020 election, stealing. Does. Does he believe that the intelligence services, including the Korean intelligence services, are somehow part of this, what he calls cartel?

[Trennis Evans]

So Steve has the question he's asking, do you believe that this is a cartel of like an international level for intelligence services, including intelligence services in South Korea and other parts of the globe that are operating together, you know, in what we might call a cabal that would be trying to overthrow world governments, you know, individually? Do you see that as a position that's happening here?

[Jim Marchant]

Kachi?

[Hwang Kyo-ahn]

By cartel, we know that there is a Chinese led cartel which also intervene in Canadian elections. And we see direct interventions of China in our countries. When I say cartel, I meant that we need to form a good cartel, a beneficial one that we could fight China against. So we need to have a US Korea alliance which is strong, and we need to make our cooperation possible. The biggest and most effective way to fight against election fraud is investigation. That is why we need to have a joint US And South Korean joint investigation effort to fight against election fraud. What is beneficial to the United States is also good for Korea. What is good for Korea will be also good for United States because we are allies. And this is what being in alliance means. We need to fight against election fraud together to ensure that we have free democracy and to uphold justice.

[Trennis Evans]

You know, Steve, this is something we've been talking about that while we have a language barrier and we have a hard time understanding each other.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, can you hold just for. What we're going to do is take a break, top of the the hour and come back. I want to continue this. So if the Prime Minister can stay there, if you could stay, we're going to come right back to you because I think it's quite revealing of what's going on in Las Vegas. Okay, here's what we're going to do. We're going to, we actually have a, a show that we have put together for the six o' clock hour. What we're going to do is continue live in Vegas. We're going to get back to Ian Trachier and Trinis Evans, obviously pretty explosive from the former prime minister of South Korea who said, hey, this thing was stolen and it was stolen with direct involvement by the Chinese Communist Party. And he wants some sort of engagement by the United States of America, including some sort of intervention to come in and help them sort it out. And so we will continue on and drill down also Ian Trottier, the situation about Bill Pulte and what's happening over dni. You had Jim Marchant when he first started the, the show. Jim said, hey, we reached out to Tulsi Gabbard. We got her the information. Something's in product of progress. Now you know exactly, exactly why Mark Warren and the Democrats and Schumer look at him. They're saying, we're not going to have Bill Pulte in there for a day. Screw you. It's time for one Republican senator. That's all it takes. Don't go along with the scam. Just stand up and say, we're not going to do this. We're going to have a normal process. We're going to confirm Jay Clayton. No, it's not a question about confirming Jay Clayton. It's a question about confirming him in about five days. That stinks to high heaven. We're not going to get jammed up here and screw your fisa. Warrantless fisa. Totally absurd and ridiculous. We're going to take a short commercial break. We're going to be back in Las Vegas. Just a moment. Everyone's focused on how the conflict in the Middle east is raising oil prices. But there's another grim reality to this contention. Oil isn't the only resource being constrained. About one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what comes next? Higher fruit prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at My Patriot Supply come in.
