Transcript

[Steve Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. 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 gonna stop it. It's going to happen.

[Randy Fine]

And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

[Steve Bannon]

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

War ROOM Here's Stephen K. Ban.

[Steve Bannon]

It's Wednesday, 26th March year overlord 2025. We're now out of the Oval Office and I think the comm staff over there is going to start working on that fee because there's just too much great content the President's putting out. Just as an update about Liberation Day next Wednesday. I guess it is the 2nd of April. Vietnam has has already responded to President Trump's reciprocity on tariffs. Vietnam is slashing their tariffs on American LNG liquefied national natural gas from 5% to 2% on automobiles, which has a range from 45 to 65% down to 32%, so cutting them in half and ethanol from 10% to 5%. They're also going to further cut import duties on American chicken, almonds, apples, cherries and wooden products. That's just Vietnam. So President Trump calls it Liberation Day today, the kickoff Automotive 25% on automotives coming into the United States effective immediately. He said on the reciprocity they're going to be named on the second and start kicking on the third, he said on automotive loans, projecting $100 billion of external revenues into the Treasury. He said his calculation is $600 billion kind of, I guess this year on tariffs up to, I think in the next year, $1 trillion. That's on an annual basis. That's not one of these ten year deals, folks, if you like what you see. And we know from polling for the first time in 20 years since the early days of the Iraq war, that the country finally feels that there's someone's got the country on the right track. Right track, wrong track has been upside down since really 2004. When I took the campaign over in 16, I told the president then candidate, I said, look, it's 2/3, 1/3 after Obama's eight years of hope and change of which it was 2/3, 1/3 when Obama beat John McCain because they thought Bush had not turned things around. So since over 20 years, the country, on the polling, American people can't quite articulate, but they know something's wrong. So we have this incredible victory in November. And let me be blunt. And I've got some real pipe hitters here in the second hour last night in Pennsylvania on a seat that was a Trump +15. We lost a special, and Cliff Maloney is going to join us to walk through that. We also have Florida, a seat I think President Trump won by 30 points. It was Waltz's old seat. You have a terrific candidate. Randy Fine is going to join us right now. Randy's in a dog fight down there. And I think the reasons, whether it's in Wisconsin, whether it's in Pennsylvania, whether Florida, and it's just the fact that people are so excited that President Trump won in November. And people love what they're seeing. They love the days of thunder. They love to flood the zone every day. They cut on and like I said, half of real America's voice. We're just taking live feeds from the Hill or from the White House because there's so much action going on. Action, action, action. But we have to understand these Democrats now are fired up. They're angry. They're having their Tea Party moment. You have to understand what's happening here. And they're looking to fight back. And look, we're in democracy. I got no problem with that at all. This is how we built this movement. Randy Fine now joins us from Florida. 6. Randy, brother, we won this by 30 points. You're in a dogfight down there. Tell us, first off, give us a situation report of what's going on. And number two, what do you need the war room posse to do what we do? Because I understand voting, I think, goes through Saturday, and then we got game day voting on Tuesday. So give us a situation report and then tell us what needs to happen.

[Cliff Maloney]

Well, Steve, I think you summed it up. Democrats are really, really, really mad right now. And so they're voting and they just wanna scream about President Trump and Elon and everything else. And Republicans are very happy. They feel like everything's on the right track and they just voted. And President so many wins, there's a sense of complacency. So what we need is we need everyone who lives in the 6th congressional district to go and vote tomorrow. They can go to my website, voterandyfine.com, depending on which of the six counties they're in. They can find their early voting site and then they can go and vote. It's pretty simple. Early voting is Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and then there's obviously Election Day on Tuesday. But it's very simple. If the people who supported President Trump will vote, I will win. I will win overwhelmingly. But we need them to do that. And that is the challenge that we have right now is explaining to people that the agenda is at stake and we need them to go and vote right now.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, let me be blunt to the war in Posse, because you guys are the tip of the spear. Wisconsin, Wisconsin. And they have many issues in Wisconsin. They have gun rights. They have. They have this right to life. They have election integrity. We got Chuck Gray, Secretary of State from Wyoming. He's done an amazing job. Chuck's going to join us, talk about the Mark Elias of it all and the executive order of the president. But it comes down to, and this is why Elon's up there at 20 million bucks. It's six, two congressional delegation. If they win that Supreme Court seat, it's going to go 4. 4. If they win 4. 4. Folks, I'm telling you, if we hang on to North Carolina, the redistricting, if we hang on to Louisiana, I think Louisiana's the Supreme Court. That means it has to be New York and California. We have to hold. And we're assuming that Randy fine is representing Florida 6. We don't have any bandwidth whatsoever. If you like what you see from the Oval Office, if you like what you see what President Trump is doing up on Capitol Hill, if you like what he's doing, both legislatively, if you like the executive orders, if you like the action. Action, action. Because he's delivering. We can't put any more pressure on this guy. This guy's got the weight of the world on the shoulders and he's delivering. The polling's through the roof. But RASMUSSEN Here at CNN's here, the highest approval ratings Trump's ever had. Right track, wrong track. The highest in 20 years. To make sure that we have that, Randy Fine has got to be the guy. Flora 6, there's no wiggle room here. This has to happen. So, Randy, I think we don't. We have 100,000, because this is one of the finest. This is one of the best districts in the country. This is one of the most MAGA districts, the most Trump supporters. This is the hardcore of the hardcore. How many of those voters had not come out and voted yet?

[Cliff Maloney]

Sir, there's 100,000 Republican super voters who haven't voted yet. And the great thing about this election is you go and it takes five minutes. There's literally one thing on the ballot. You walk in, you fill in my name, circle the oval or bubble in the oval, and you walk out. It doesn't take long. That's why people should go to voterandyfine.com, figure out where they're early voting site is and go and vote. There's three more days in all six counties so we can start running up the score. Cuz you never know what the weather will be like on Tuesday. So don't procrastinate, go and get it done. So there's a lot of people who haven't voted. Yes, President Trump won this district by 30. And I don't know that I'll win it by 30, but I'll win it by a lot if his voters get out and vote. It matters. President Trump wants a guy who will grab a sword, run up the hill and cut off the dragon's head. That's what I've done in the Florida legislature, that's what I'm ready to do for President Trump in Washington. But I can't do it if people don't vote.

[Steve Bannon]

You were one of the earliest guys to come out and endorse President Trump, were you not, sir?

[Cliff Maloney]

I was the second Florida legislator to endorse President Trump and I'm the only Jewish Republican. So it was kind of a big deal, you know, in the community at large. But yeah, made national news when I did it.

[Steve Bannon]

Before I let you go, I want to talk to you about. And look, this is what a democracy is about. The Democrats are absolutely furious. One of the reasons they're furious President Trump is executing on his agenda, they clearly oppose that. They clearly oppose it. They're angry. How angry are the folks down at the Democrats down in Florida? Six, sir.

[Cliff Maloney]

We had an event outside last week. They tried to literally scream me down for the entire time. Now I have a pretty big voice, so it didn't work. But think about that. Democrats like to say this is what democracy looks like. And then when a Republican Republicans having an event, they're gonna scream them down, wave cowbells, things like that. I mean, that's not how our democracy should work. You shouldn't try to silence the other side. They will say anything, they will do anything to steal this seat because they know what it means. Which is why I need everybody who lives in the 6th congressional district, voterandyfine.com, find your precinct early voting three more days. Take five minutes, go and get it done. There's no lines. You can vote easily. We can run up the score for President Trump and make sure we deliver a resounding victory for the President on Tuesday. That's why I'm doing this, because I want to be a foot soldier for him.

[Steve Bannon]

Randy Fine's philosophy, his program is President Trump's program. Randy, one more time, social media, where do people go? We need the 100,000. Florida 6, you're one of the finest of the MAGA troops. We have to send a message on Tuesday that the MAGA movement and President Trump's movement, we're not resting on our laurels. Every day is game day. We know that President Trump, every day they're coming at him, they're putting this press on now. Between the federal courts and the deep state, he's fighting back every day. Just give him your support. Where do they go? Randy, one more time.

[Cliff Maloney]

Voterandyfine.com There's a button to figure out where you see a special election information. You see it at the top, it tells them where to go to vote. Cuz each county's different, each county has different hours and polling places. For now, it'll tell them where their early voting site is. And obviously on election day they go to their regular polling place. But we don't want people to wait, we want them to vote early tomorrow.

[Steve Bannon]

Yep. Randy, thank you so much. Look forward to talking to you tomorrow. Randy Fine grinding out at Florida 6. Thank you, brother. I want to go to Pennsylvania. I've got Chuck Gray and Mike Lindell are going to talk about this president EO and then what's going on, Wyoming to sort things out. But I got to get to Cliff Maloney. Cliff, kind of a shocker last night. This is why I want to talk about Wisconsin. I want to talk about Pennsylvania. This is a, I guess a state Senate special election. I understand these are low turnout, but this is one that Trump is a 15 point. This is Trump country by 15 points. This is not close. What happened last night, sir? Yeah.

[Mike Lindell]

So I'll give it to you straight, Steve. You know, we ran this PA Chase program boardroom posse was fantastic, joined us, supported us. And I told people, you know, we had two special elections this past evening last night, one for the House, one for the Senate and the one outside of Pittsburgh. You know, it wasn't winnable. It's a 7525 Democrat to Republican seat and we gotta have resource allocation, so we didn't touch it. But then this state Senate special In Lancaster, this is, like you said, it's an R +15 Trump district. It's R +23 in terms of Republicans to Democrats. And Steve, I'm not going to mince words here. You know, I went to some of the swamp creatures in Harrisburg and some of these consulting class and I said to him, I said, look, I said, if you want us to do the phase program, we'll deploy. We'll go in and knock tens of thousands of doors to guarantee a win. And this is what they say to me, Steve, this is the swamp culture when it comes to consultants. They said, cliff, don't worry about it. We've got it covered. We don't think you should waste money here. And what did they do? They didn't chase a single ballot. They went out and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lining their own pockets and they lost the race by 500 votes in a Trump +15 district. I'm infuriated and I think this is the last time I listen to anybody in the consulting class. We're just gonna have to go out and do this ourselves. You've got people like Scott Pressler, who's a great partner of ours. Me and Scott are furious. We don't even know what to say. That we would be led astray by the consulting class and they would find a way to lose this seat. This isn't America first, this isn't maggot. This is incompetency with GOP consultants.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, so what? So that makes people feel better. But we still lost the seat. And I didn't flip. Did not flip the Senate. Is that correct or was the.

[Mike Lindell]

No.

[Steve Bannon]

So we flipped the House.

[Mike Lindell]

Yeah, the House seat was. They had a one seat majority. The Democrat had passed away. It was a Democrat seat, so that was going to stay. This reduces our small margin in the Senate, but we're still safe. But Steve, let me say something bold on your show. And I don't always like to call people out by name, but the posse is the one place where they say, name names. You know, look, I'm calling on our new state chairman, Greg Rothman. He's a current state senator. And I'd ask Greg this, I'd say, let's have a sit down. Me, you, Scott Pressler, some of these other grassroots groups. I'm tired of just all talk. I'm tired of saying, well, we're gonna fund these things, but there's no organization, there's no structure. We're gonna get this seat back in two years. But so many of the grassroots, the America First Movement. MAGA is just tired of these consultants who don't take action. So, yeah, I'm not here to tell you to feel good. I'm here to tell you that Republicans should be pissed off. This is not gonna have a huge impact on the PA State Senate, but we need to sit down with party leadership like we did with the Trump campaign. They worked with us day and day to make sure that we had the data and that we were all singing from the same song sheet. That is what I'm calling on right now from our state chairman, Greg Rothman. We cannot have stupid mistakes like this again. And I'm not even blaming the candidate. Josh Parsons. This is the consulting class that wants to spend all their money on traditional media. When we learn, Steve, in 2024, we don't need to message. We have the America first voters. We just have to get them to vote. That should be the focus.

[Steve Bannon]

Amen. Amen. Grassroots, Pressley, you others just turn them out where they go for social media. Cliff, we gotta get on this. If we can help put the meeting together with you and Rothman, we'd love to. We gotta get sorted here. Where do people go, sir?

[Mike Lindell]

Yeah, on X. Justlone. And then if folks want to help, we're doubling down on the PHAs. Go to phas.com. steve, I'm saying here on your show, we're going to knock 500,000 doors every year because Pennsylvania has thousands of elections every year. I'm not going to cede an inch to Governor Josh Shapiro. If folks believe in us doing the grassroots work. Pace.com as always, Steve, appreciate you, Ph Chase.

[Steve Bannon]

We love it. Thank you, sir. Scott Presley is up in Wisconsin. He's banging on doors up there trying to. Trying to bring a victory out of that. That's. Let's look at another grind up there. Remember, it's two seats on the line. Mike Lindell, the executive order yesterday, give me your summary of the executive order. We're going to go to Wyoming here in a moment. Talk to a man that's making it happen. What are your thoughts on this executive order, President Trump on election integrity, sir?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Well, I dug into it. You know, I like the thing of paper, no paper with QR codes or barcodes that's basically saying, hey, you can't hide, which you voted for. And because these machines that count the ballots, you can put anything you want behind them. So there was a lot of stuff you got into the meat of that executive order. I was very impressed. And you guys. What did he say? He said there's a lot more to come. Well, I know a lot of stuff that's coming, but there was a lot packed into that. And there. And you had. You even had the Daily Mail, Steve over in uk, they're doing this big thing about it and, and how this is gonna alienate voters to go vote because they don't have IDs. And then said down below. And Mike Lindell, the conspiracy theorist, he grifted. He grifted off this. And I go, I'm a pretty bad grifter.

[Steve Bannon]

I'll tell you. If you don't have an id, you don't need to vote. Very simple, Mike. Before I bounce, sell me a pillow. Sell me a pillow or sell me some sheets.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Right on. Well, you guys, just yesterday we had another cancellation from a box store. I'm actually gonna put their name out nationwide tomorrow. We had it all ready for them to go out, and they canceled. You can't make this stuff up. But you know what? We make lemonade out of lemons. So here's what we got again. The box stores, they canceled. We're giving it to the war room Posse what was allotted for the box stores. These are all the spring sheets that came in the allotment that was for the box stores. We're gonna give you for the wholesale prices. The queens are 29, 98, 34, 98. For the kings and the percale, go to the mypillow.com. scroll down. We put Steve right on top there. Click on Steve and there you got it. The my crosses. You GU guys all love save 30%. There's those 998 pillows, the war room specials there with the MyPillow 2.0. If you've never tried a MyPillow $9.98. Okay, so you get all these wholesale prices because of the box store. It's a win, win, win, win. And you guys call the number there, 800-873-1062. That's one of the biggest wins I'm proud of. When the IRS came after, my home rep said, you can't work from home. We beat them. They're working from home. They're taking your calls and promo code.

[Steve Bannon]

War room.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

You guys, I don't know where we'd be without you, but with my pillows here. Steve, we're gonna still be speaking out. We're never losing our voice. We're gonna keep talking no matter what they do. To attack Mypillow, my employee owned company. And we thank the war room posse.

[Steve Bannon]

And your show thank you, brother. Appreciate you. Mike Lindell. The best promo code in the business. Promo code worm. Go to mypillow.com we got a package to play in front of Chuck Gray, the Secretary of State of the great state of Wyoming. Let's go ahead and let it rip.

[Chuck Gray]

Now, Ms. Kirger, the American people want.

[Mike Lindell]

To know, is Elmo now or has.

[Chuck Gray]

He ever been a member of the Communist Party of the United States?

[Mike Lindell]

Yes or no?

[Chuck Gray]

No. Now, are you sure, Ms. Kirger?

[Steve Bannon]

Because he's obviously red. Well, he is a puppet, but no.

[Chuck Gray]

Now, that's not all. He also has a very dangerous message about sharing and helping each other. He's indoctrinating our kids. That sharing is caring.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, that's the wrong package. We'll play in a second. Let's get Chuck Gray up from Wyoming. Chuck, we had Mark Elias and we had the signing of the order. Talk to me. Why this executive order you said from the President of the United States is very similar to what you've been doing in Wyoming. Did he crib what you guys are working on, or did you crib him?

[Randy Fine]

Oh, President Trump, CEO yesterday, huge moment for election integrity in our country. Proof of citizenship for registering to vote, stopping foreign funding of elections. And that's exactly what we've been working on in Wyoming and our recently completed 2025 general session. We passed proof of citizenship for registering to vote. We applied it to all races, unlike many states that have exemptions from the National Voter Registration act, that can't apply it to federal races. And that was one of the things that this EO does. It says that the national voter registration form shall require proof of citizenship. We also ban the foreign funding of elections, close the federal loophole that the FEC put in place that allows federal funding for statewide ballot measures, which is really disturbing. And we closed that in our recently completed general session. And President President Trump's executive order closes it as well by saying that the DOJ needs to prosecute these cases of foreign funding of elections that we've seen in Michigan and Ohio with ballot measures.

[Steve Bannon]

So hang on a second, because this is explosive. Hit rewind for a second. You're saying that you can prove and you're rooting out of Wyoming that this foreign. Not just influence, but foreign money coming in to drive some of these elections.

[Randy Fine]

Sir, this is a trend across our country because the FEC issued a decision a while back that the ban on foreign funding of elections does not apply to statewide ballot measures. This is in past administrations, and the FEC is sort of a quasi Independent agency. And so what we've been trying to do is go state by state. And chief election officials in each state like myself have been trying to bring through legislatures bans on foreign funding of statewide ballot measures, this loophole that the FEC created in the past. And we were the second state to pass this ban two and a half weeks ago in our state statute. And the EO is working to push back on the FEC decision. I know the Congress is working on it as well, because it is a decision that we've got to reverse.

[Steve Bannon]

Have you noticed you're kind of at the cutting edge of this? Have you noticed since President Trump won? Because we just talked about Pennsylvania, people kind of leaning on their rakes there in Florida, we're trying to fire people for this. Florida 6, we see it in Wisconsin right now. Were people so excited about President Trump winning, Chuck, do you think that now the election integrity, is that a harder sell for the MAGA base? Are people still up on the ramparts about this and saying, yeah, we gotta clean all these elections up, sir, President.

[Randy Fine]

Trump is doing a fantastic job. I mean, Steve, think about this fact sheet on the first 100 days, how that's gonna read. I mean, it's gonna be a book. So he's doing a fantastic job. And I think that the election integrity movement, that there is still a huge appetite. People understand that we need to continue to push these election integrity measures that we've been pushing since the 2020 election fiasco. And that's why we won this election in 2024. It's a huge part of it is that we were advancing these election integrity measures. President Trump just did a fantastic job traveling the entire country pushing and putting forward our make America great again message. But the election integrity measures that advanced have also been extremely helpful in that respect. And I think people understand that we gotta continue pushing election integrity. We've done some polling on it. And election integrity is at the forefront of voters minds in Wyoming and across our country. Scott Rasmussen released some polling about two weeks ago showing that over 90% of Americans want proof of citizenship for registering to vote. Steve. Over 90% of Americans. This isn't just Republicans and independents. This is strong super majorities of Democrats. I mean, that's the only way you get to over 90% of Americans approving a proof of citizenship for registering to vote. And that's what President Trump got done yesterday with this fantastic executive order.

[Steve Bannon]

Go back. I just want you to hit that for a second. I don't think people say it enough. The reason we won in 2024 is work that you and others had done in the lead up in those dark years of 21, 22, 23 where we couldn't get the reversal that we needed for the election. That was stolen. But you did election integrity work. What worked the most that led to this triumph in 2024? Sir.

[Randy Fine]

President Trump really worked to advance conservative secretaries of state in the 2022 cycle. He endorsed our campaign and I'm proud to have the President Trump Trump's endorsement in that campaign. I think one of the key aspects of what we advanced in the intervening period after the 2020 election FIA was the ban on suck bucks, the ban on third party interference in elections. And that was just pivotal. You look at what the Democrats and the left machine did in swing states with these zuck bucks and these drop boxes. We pushed back on that and Wyoming became the 28th state to ban this third party interference in elections. And then I also think the eyes that were on the entire election process that was pivotal. Of course the most important part, the sine qua non, if you will, was President Trump and the work that he has continued to do pushing back on the radical left, campaigning and advancing our message across the United States and getting things done. I mean it's amazing, Steve, these eos every single day, I mean the fact sheet on this first 100 days, I mean have you thought of. I've been thinking about it the last few days. It's going to be incredible.

[Steve Bannon]

[Mike Lindell]

So you just spoke about elections and today we have a new executive order, which again, it's a little hard to characterize these things because what it's purporting to say it does is just plainly unconstitutional, unlawful. It's a. It's an executive order to essentially, by decree, centralize election administration, require a whole bunch of new forms of election checking and basically put it in the hands of Donald Trump unilaterally, with no law being passed and against the existing laws in the existing jurisdictions. What, what do you make of this new eo?

[Mark Elias]

Yeah, it's wildly unconstitutional and illegal. Let's just start with that. It is. It is. It has no more of the force of law than you and I. Chris, agreeing now that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. Right? It is, it is a fever dream that Donald Trump has, because the one consistent thing in all of Donald Trump's efforts has been election denialism. It is the. It is the only thing that is undocumented, uncompromising in his administration. It's a thing that's consistent. It's the reason why he hates me, because I was successful in litigating against him and his campaign. But what this executive order tries to do is to claim that he has this, this power to control how elections that are run. He has the power to contravene Congress. He has the power to overrule states. By the way, he also kicks in that he's giving Doge subpoena power, which is kind of a. Kind of a nice little sideline for him. Perhaps he'll give Mr. Musk something to do. But the fact is that the Constitution is very clear that the ability to regulate the time, place and manner of elections rests with the states. And it can be overridden by Congress. Congress, not the President. Congress. And Congress has passed laws that, that, that are enforced. And the President simply has no.

[Steve Bannon]

So, Secretary of State of Wyoming, Chuck Gray. What is it? Are you and President Trump right or is Mark Elias right, sir?

[Randy Fine]

Well, Mark Elias has a history of being wrong. He is a woke clown and this is just another example of it. He's tried to make a career out of attacking basic election integrity measures that over 90% of Americans want. And here he is going again, going with this golden oldie, the song that they think we want to hear, but we really don't, and going after proof of citizenship for registering to vote, which over 90% of Americans want. So it's just more of the same, which the people of the United States rejected here in the 2024 election.

[Steve Bannon]

Chuck, how can people find out more about what you guys are doing at Wyoming? I think it's pretty remarkable. So where do people go?

[Randy Fine]

Appreciate that. You can visit us on xuchforwyoming, on Instagram uckforwhyoming, and then also on Facebook. Chuck Ray. We continue to post updates on our work at the Wyoming Secretary of State's office in advancing election integrity and putting forward our Make America Great Again agenda.

[Steve Bannon]

Chuck, thank you so much for joining us and thank you for all the work out there. Thanks.

[Randy Fine]

Thanks, Steve. Appreciate it for having me on.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you, brother. These are the guys that are making it happen, the men and women. You got the Cliff Maloney's, you got the, you got the guys chasing ballots, knocking on doors, canvassing. This is what it's all about. The Chuck Grays of the world. This is why President Trump is in the Oval today. This is why we're talking about 25% tariffs on automotives. This is why he's bringing the economy back, bringing back almost a trillion dollars right now in capital investment from some of the major companies, major companies in the world. On the manufacturing side, okay, Something very special, John Kahn. We play American Heart. You guys love it. It's the anthem of the Tea Party that John wrote, I don't know, 14 years ago or longer, when Adam. Andrew Breitbart, the great Andrew Breitbart, was the leader of our movement. He's written another incredibly powerful song. I want to play it in its entirety and then bring in the one and only John Khan. Let's go ahead and let her up.

[John Kahn]

When I was 10 late on day and cried no one could hear me no one could hear me Thought there's gotta be a reason for my life. But who believe me, who believe me? I don't wanna be someone who dies with everything I am. Locked up inside Wondered if anything was I didn't know there was more I could lose. Up in the sky I could only see blue. But if my eyes were really open I would have found the clues I would have heard you say there's nothing you can do. I got my fingerprints on you. Oh I seen way too many heartbreaks to understand what you wanted, what you wanted. How could pain be part of any plan? That's always haunted, that's always, always haunted me. And I didn't know there was more than I could lose. Up in the sky I could always see blue. But if my eyes were really open I would have found the clues I would have heard you say there's nothing you can't do. I got my fingerprints on you. And now that little boy he cries for all the years and years of all that he denied. He looking for reason cuz he knows now that believe they be alive. When it gets dark and it's so hard to breathe. You'll be right there and I know it won't leave. It took a long, long time to get here. Lord I know now what I need. Cause even in the darkness I can see.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I can see.

[John Kahn]

You got your fingerprints on me. You got your fingerprints on me.

[Steve Bannon]

John Kahn. Fingerprints. John, when you first became part of this movement, I think it was for two years. You had to go around because you were coming out of Hollywood. You were out of Hollywood and you were known in Hollywood. You couldn't even reveal. It was so vicious back then. You couldn't even reveal your identity. It was a front page story in the Wall Street Journal when you did, because you had written so many. You wrote the anthem for the Tea Party and American Harpoon. Also wrote more songs. What's fingerprints? Tell me the evolution, because people know, because they love you, that your house, everything you had, burned down in the Palisades fire. What is fingerprints about? What's the evolution here?

[Chuck Gray]

So you know, Steve, you've known me a long time. Thanks for having me. And hi to the posse out there. You know, about five years ago, I was in Nashville in a writer's room, which you go into a room with somebody you don't know and you pick up guitars, you talk, you start writing songs. So I met a guy named Michael Ferrin, who was the son of a preacher. And we just talked for two hours and just talked about life. And we didn't even pick up guitars. And at the end of our conversation, he looked at me and he said, you know, you talk like a Christian. And I said, I didn't even know what that meant because, you know, I grew up in la. My family, there was no faith, there was no religion, and in godless la. And so I started exploring what that meant. I asked him what it meant. He said, you just have a seeker's heart. He says, I can tell that you're yearning for something more, to be part of something greater than yourself. So I tucked that away and I started having conversations with a lot of people about God and faith. I started going to church for the first time in my life, this was only a few years ago, and I started to like what it did for me. And I liked the notion of being accountable to something greater than myself. And it just made me feel a certain way. I started behaving differently. Not that I was behaving badly, but it just made me think about what I was doing and how I was responding to things. And finally, as I started to explore this, interesting things started to happen. People came into my life that I hadn't seen in 15 years. A girlfriend of mine who's a screenwriter says she came back. I hadn't spoken to her in 15 years. She goes, I'm writing a script about faith. I want you to read it all. These kind of things started to happen to me. And then I was talking to our mutual friend Wynton, and I was telling him all these stories, and he said, you know, John, I've never seen God chase anybody like he's chasing you. He's got his fingerprints all over you. And I tucked that away, and I thought, that's the name of a song, and that's something that's. So the song was originally about my exploration of faith and the journey that I was on. And I had written it. It's been ready for about a year and a half. And then I wrote Fighter, and that kind of took precedence. I didn't release the song because I didn't. I was so new to faith that I didn't want to, you know, go into an area where I felt like, you know, I was treading where I didn't belong. And then I had many conversations with people, and they said, look, you wouldn't have those words unless God wanted you to have those words. So ironically, what happened? After I wrote the song, I had a series of really rough times. I had a breakup with a girlfriend, my mom passed away, my dad fell, had surgery, and then my house burned down. And so I thought. But I never lost faith. And I always had a piece that things were going to work out. And so I thought, what better time to release a song like this than in the middle of a storm?

[Steve Bannon]

So let me get this right. In this journey, you wrote the song, you obviously looked like made the video, and you never released it. But it only came. You only thought that you should release it or should put it out there for the public after your house burned down on the Palisades.

[Chuck Gray]

Well, no, I was always gonna release it. But then I just happened, you know, it took me a while to get. And because I felt like such a newbie to it, I just didn't know if it was my place because it was something I was exploring. And I know it's a very sacred topic and people convinced me otherwise. I just happened to write the song Fighter, which was very time sensitive during the election. So that came out first and sort of occupied the last few months of my life. I was planning to release the song at the beginning of January, and then the fires happen. And, you know, my life took a weird turn and I've been a little bit swamped trying to figure out what I'm going to do next. And then I thought, you know what? I need to release this song.

[Steve Bannon]

Did the fire and taking away, because your place was so special, you had all your music there, your writing there. Did the fire rattle this newfound faith or this beginning of this faith journey? Did that rattle you to say, go back and say, what is this all worth? Or maybe there isn't a God or God would have not done this to me if there was a fair God or for God that loved me. What was the impact of the fire?

[Chuck Gray]

I didn't think that. I had a strange piece about it. I spent six weeks on my dad's sofa, and my dad is not a believer. And he and I weren't always very close, but we've gotten very close in the last couple years. And he's 93 years old now, and about four weeks after the fire, and I'm still trying to process what happened. And every time I would say to him, I'm going to go to church on Sunday. I'm going to church right now, he was very accepting of it. But there was always this little bit of, really, you're going to church. So there was always this A little bit of a push and pull. But I said to him, about three weeks, I walked into his bedroom and I said, you know, I don't think I could be handling this situation as well as I am had I not gone down this road of faith. And he looked at me at 93 years old and he said, I 100% agree with you. Which I thought was a pretty big moment for him and for me.

[Steve Bannon]

Wow. Wow. You say that, you know, in doing this, in this journey of faith, all of a sudden someone comes up and says, hey, I've got a script on faith. So many things are opening up to you that maybe have not opened up before if you didn't have this secret's heart. Now on the other side, is there people, because you're folks should know, both Andrew and John are kind of guys. Guys. They always have people around. You're very funny and people love to be with you. Have you seen in your previous that you've lost friends or the situations you don't want to be in or things you don't do anymore?

[Chuck Gray]

I think when you. You'll like the stories. Steve, a Navy SEAL once told me when I got to know him, I asked him once, are you. When you're on patrol in Afghanistan or wherever you are, you're always looking for the bad things? Are you always on the lookout? And he said, no, I'm always looking for the beautiful things. And I said, why is that? He says, when you look for the beautiful things, all the bad things stand out. And that story really stuck with me. So when you're on a journey like this, you look for the good. And so it makes you able to identify kind of the, the energy that you don't want to be around, the people that you don't want to be around who might not be on the same journey. I don't think I've lost friends as much as I've gained a lot of friends from this process and met so many amazingly kind people through it.

[Steve Bannon]

Now with and fighter people, remember, that's an incredibly moving power ballot about President Trump and particularly President Trump at the assassination attempt with this and now fingerprints, are you gonna back in the studio? Is this gonna lead to an entire album? Are you gonna put these out one at a time? Cause you've got so many fans here from us playing American Heart that absolutely love your music. So what's the future hold?

[Chuck Gray]

Well, I think I'm gonna. I'm trying to, you know, pick up the pieces. After the fire, I'm going to relocate to Nashville in about a month, and I'm gonna hang there for six months, and I write a lot of music there. And I think I've got a buddy named Jeff Steele who's in the Nashville hall of Fame, an amazing songwriter, and he always said, just write what's in your heart. And, you know, so there are certain things that I get inspired to write about. Usually they're kind of tough situations, but I'm just gonna keep sitting down at the piano, picking up the guitar and seeing what comes to me. Fighter, American heart Fighter. And this song fingerprints came very quickly to me, and usually that's a good sign. So I'm just going to keep writing because that's what they always tell me to do in Nashville. Just keep writing.

[Steve Bannon]

That's a pretty good foundation. Where do people go, Johnny, to get all of your access to all your content?

[Chuck Gray]

Well, you can go to my Instagram, which is John Khan music with no H in the John. My Twitter, which is MrJohnDavid. Again, no H. And there are links to all my music there. And I really appreciate your. The posse embracing American heart in the song. And fighter.

[Steve Bannon]

Love. Fighter and love this. Fingerprints is gonna be a big hit. Was it 14 years ago you came out in the Wall Street Journal? 12 years ago.

[Chuck Gray]

How many years ago? I think in 2010 it might have been 15 years ago.

[Steve Bannon]

Yeah, 15 years ago. Front page of the Wall Street Journal. John Kahn. Thank you, brother. Appreciate you. We're gonna play the song.

[Chuck Gray]

Thank you, Steve.

But who believe me, who believe me? I don't want to be someone who dies with everything I am Locked up inside Wondered if anyone anything was really mine I didn't know there was more I could lose up in the sky I could only see blue but if my eyes were really open I would have found the clues I would have heard you say there's nothing you can't do I got my fingerprints on you oh, yeah I seen way too many heartbreaks to understand what you wanted what you wanted how could pain be part of any plan that's always haunted that's always haunted me and I didn't know there was more than I could lose up in the sky I could only see blue but if my eyes were really I would have found the clues I would have heard you say there's nothing you can't do? I got my fingerprints on you? And now that little boy he cries? For all the years and years of all that he denied? He ain't looking for a reason? Cause he knows now that believing ain't alive? When it gets dark and it's so hard to breathe? He'll be right there? And I know he won't leave? It took a long, long time to get here? Lord, I know now what I need?
