Patriot Speaker
We know who you are, we know what you are, and we know what you're trying to accomplish.
Steve Bannon
And it is not going to happen.
Patriot Speaker
In the jewel of the crown of the union of this republic, we purge
Steve Bannon
any attempt to impose Sharia law in Texas. They are not coming. They are already here.
Patriot Speaker
You are not here properly and you're going to leave.
Steve Bannon
On 3 March, Sharia law goes on the ballot in the state of Texas. The United States Constitution and Sharia are fundamentally with one another.
Patriot Speaker
We're going to tell them, take your Sharia law and shove it.
Steve Bannon
Islam will never dominate the United States, and by the grace of God, it will not dominate Texas.
Patriot Speaker
As Texas goes, so goes the nation. As the nation goes, so goes the world. Are you prepared to fight for this state? Are you prepared to fight for your country?
Steve Bannon
War Room Texas. Your host, Stephen K. Bannon starts right now. Okay, thank you for a special edition of War Room Texas. We just finished the President, United States and Corpus Christi talk for over an hour. Incredibly, not just informative, but also very funny, as President Trump's want to do. We're gonna start today's show by going to the White House. Neil McCabe. Neal, I wanna get up to date on any breaking news coming out of this Iran situation. The President once again reiterated, and I think Axios had the story late in the afternoon, Neil, that he's a man of peace. He wants to find a diplomatic way to get to where he needs to go about nuclear weapons. However, he says they're very tough, they're very hard to negotiate. And I think he left it out there that his patience is running thin or wearing thin. What do you know this afternoon from the White House?
Neil McCabe
Yeah.
Correspondent/Analyst
Today at the White House, at the departure gaggle, as he was walking to Marine One, he said that he wasn't happy with the way the negotiations were going. And he also said that he preferred negotiations. He preferred a settlement. But if, you know, if the Iranians want a war, they'll get one. That's my words, not his. But I think his predisposition is to find some solution that he can negotiate. I don't think he's looking forward for a war at all because it creates all sorts of other complications once it starts, and then it becomes a chain of event that you lose control of. So I think he wants to have control of the situation and settle it.
Steve Bannon
Steve, the disturbing thing in Axios, it was this is the first time I've seen this that Jared Kushner and Steve Wyvkoff, the two lead negotiators here, were expressing frustration to him that they didn't know how much progress they were actually making. I've said this before, the reason Geneva was so important, if they had gone to Geneva and done this whole thing of passing notes to each other and the Oman, it's not going to work for President Trump. He wants to know if he's going to get a deal if you're not in the room. My understanding is the second part of that meeting took place face to face for the first time. Jared and Wyckoff did set up to meet in Geneva this next week. We'll have to see if that actually takes place. And I think the President's going to have to be pretty, pretty confident that things are moving towards some sort of peaceful resolution. If not, I think at least we're going to see some potential, what we refer to here as coercive diplomacy. Big news out of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Folks should understand that he looks at General Raisin Cain and really puts a lot of faith in him. Here's the reason, in the first term, we were told by President Obama that the ISIS situation was generational. Remember, ISIS at the time had a caliphate that had basically a third of Iraq, half of Syria. They had oil revenues. They're recruiting 10,000 individuals a month, principally out of Europe. General Kaine, as the operational commander, took ISIS down, I think, in four and five months. And that's where President Trump actually met him. Spent a lot of time with him. Of course, the expeditionary hit in June that ended the 12 day war, total obliteration of, of the nuclear, at least the enrichment program, what we heard at the time. And then the really incredible Joint Operational Command of Special Forces, of which the helicopter pilot was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor at the State of the Union the other night. Neil, there's been some disturbing news out of the Joint Chiefs. General Kane has made a decision today. What is that?
Correspondent/Analyst
Yeah, he fired Vice Admiral Fred Catcher. And what's shocking about this is the guy's only been in the job 90 months, 90 days. And that is a very important job. I mean, running the Joint Chief Staff. It's like a Pentagon inside of a Pentagon. And that it could be that maybe he blames Admiral Catcher for that leak. It was really a disheartening leak when it came out that supposedly Kaine had told the President that maybe attacking Iran was a bad idea, maybe we were not ready. But it was the kind of negativity that you don't usually associate with Kaine. And it couldn't have made Trump happy. In fact, Trump made a truth social, basically denouncing it all as fake news. And then the other shoe dropping is that the director of Cain's staff was sent back to the Navy.
Steve Bannon
You're speculating that we don't know. For whatever reason he was there less than 90 days. I don't know that when you're getting ready for a big operation, operation like this, one thing we do know is that I don't know if it was negative. I think it shows. President Trump puts a lot of weight in what General Raisin Cain will say. He's got a lot of faith in this guy. He's delivered, like I said in the ISIS situation, ending the 12 day war with a massive expeditionary hit. Not just the bombers from the continental United States, but also the fast attack submarines delivering as you know, Neil, those cruise missiles that took down the above ground facilities. And then quite frankly, just an extraordinary, another expeditionary strike to take Maduro. Neil, we're going to come back to you tomorrow. One more quickly, you've got an update on Cuba. I want to make sure we get. It seems like there's a lot of discussion between the State Department, Rubio and the Cubans and this group. It's quite odd. It's kind of an odd. I think you might be correct. It may be the Versailles Bakery Alumni Association.
Mike Lindell
Right,
Correspondent/Analyst
well there's that. And then the new threat of course is that a very prominent Cuban American leader in Miami told me that, you know, he wouldn't be surprised to find out that this whole thing was arranged by the Cuban intelligence where they would take his narrative. They basically found four stooges, lined them up for what in effect was a suicide mission. The six, quote, survivors, unquote would have been the Cuban agents. And when that encounter happened with the Cuban boat, you know, the four sort of stooges were killed. The survivors who are the Cuban agents, you know, they would be the ones who would then start saying, yes, we were here to disturb terrorists.
Steve Bannon
Yeah, but some of the old school Cuban community in Miami are not happy with cuz President Trump said, hey, we may work at a friendly deal, we may have a Raj Projeman. They can't be excited about that. These guys are hardcore. They see that, they're not enthusiastic.
Correspondent/Analyst
When Trump says a friendly takeover of Cuba, that's when people start shaking. He did say, though, that there is incredible trust of Rubio because of his life story and his career. And basically, I would put it that only Rubio could go to Havana, that they're confused as to why Rubio has been kind of hesitant. And they obviously, people are maybe wondering why the president hasn't really directly addressed the fact that four Americans have been killed by the Cubans. You would think he would talk about it, but people are sort of hanging out and they trust Rubio and they trust Trump.
Neil McCabe
Steve?
Steve Bannon
Okay, Neil, social media. And we'll have you back on for the Saturday show. Where do people go
Correspondent/Analyst
find me on at reporter McCabe and on all the socials.
Steve Bannon
Steve, thank you, sir. Of course, if anything breaks on this Iran situation, just like we've done in the past, a real America's Voice will go live. And we'll be up on this momentarily. We've got a whole team that's monitoring this quite closely, many places in Washington, D.C. and in the region. Honored to have Michael Limbaum on. Michael, thank you for joining us. And thank you for we had to change here a couple times because of the president's speech, et cetera. Roundup, the Make America Healthy Again, which is a huge part of our coalition, had a big event last night in Austin, Texas. They're kicking off this, you know, make America the whole food aspect of this. But I don't think we've seen anything in President Trump's first term that's gotten so many key parts of our coalition up in arms of this situation with Roundup and the executive order. Can you walk us through exactly what's going on here? And we know that you know the situation Roundup very deeply.
Michael Limbaum
Well, from our perspective, people who worked on the Roundup trials and had been following Roundup and glyphosate as a carcinogen since 2015, when IARC found it to be a probable human carcinogen. A lot of people have been wanting to get that things that have food that has Roundup in it out of the American diet. That's a big part of the Make America Healthy Again. But I think Secretary Kennedy and many of the leaders of Make America Healthy Again Maha recognized that Monsanto essentially has a stranglehold over the farmers in the U.S. there's a monopolistic stranglehold where they have really no choice but to use Roundup Ready products and to use Roundup to dry out crops of wheat and oats, to make Cheerios and Quaker oats and Wheaties and these things. You can't just go cold turkey to get rid of those things from the American diet and to re have regenerative farming that has the healthy microbes in the soil. One of the those types of things take time to take a big ship. Like hang on culture.
Steve Bannon
We have, we have a clip we want to play. But this is the Roundup situation has been controversial. I mean somebody approached me in my, because I was a filmmaker, came to me gotta be 10, 15 years ago about making a huge film about this. This guy went out, did this documentary over years. Roundup has been so controversial for so long and there's been a huge settlement I think just for our audience that are just coming into this. How did we get in a situation that Monsanto still has the monopoly that there's no other alternatives, that there's nothing some either safer version of this and or something that you can use that doesn't have the carcinogenic material in it. It seems like we've been talking about Roundup, studying Roundup, suing Monsanto for it feels like decades. So how can we get to 2026? I think people were asking and saying
Ben Berkwam
hey, how could we even have the
Steve Bannon
possibility President Trump's got to sign this and Bobby Kennedy sitting there going well we're not gonna have food production if we don't do it, sir.
Michael Limbaum
So there have been many administrations that have provided subsidies for Roundup ready crops and glyphosate based pesticides to be used throughout the US and there's like in the neighborhood of like $11 billion of subsidies that go to those crops. And the organic farmers and the regenerative farmers don't get those types of subsidies. And in order to get a freeway ramp off ramp from the Roundup ready crops and they need help. And I think that Secretary Kennedy has along with Secretary Rollins have begun the path of having $700 million dedicated to getting regenerative farming made available and more available to farmers now. 700 million versus 11 billion. Well that's, it's a start but it's not, it's not a complete, it's not a complete enough project to get as enough of the American farming off of the addiction to Roundup ready crops and Roundup herbicides. And you know, one of the problems, the big problems is that it's not just in the food. It, the manner in which it kills plants is the same mechanism of action that kills the microbes in the soil, makes dead soil kills microbes in your gut. When you end up with food that has Roundup in it when it's sprayed on wheat notes just before harvest. There's, there's a lot of damage above and beyond the non Hodgkin's lymphoma that we litigated and won those lawsuits on.
Steve Bannon
Michael. But just on the timeline here, as you said, you sued and won. We've known this for a long time. I think what people are shocked about is how could we be in a situation where we're still given subsidies? And this is not blaming the Trump administration, they kind of inherited this. But how have the Department of Agriculture and through so many years when we knew it had the microbes, when you knew you had problems with this, how could we be in a situation when Bobby Kennedy came in and Nicole Shanahan was so central to this coalition that everything's from the soil, that the way to American health is through agriculture. How could we be in a situation that knowing everything that's bad about Roundup, that so many farmers are still using it and it's still subsidized and at some point in time, if you've won these cases, that people, people sit there and go, hey, we've got to get another alternative. How, why was that? Why has that that not been done to date?
Michael Limbaum
Billions of dollars are at stake in the farming states, the central, central US Farming states. Billions of dollars are made by Monsanto and Bayer from these products. And they use that to lobby congressmen and legislation that is in their favor. They have, we found in our litigation that there were essentially moles inside the EPA that was serving Monsanto's interest to perpetuate the idea that it doesn't cause cancer when it actually did. And they refused to. EPA refused to reevaluate and conduct the proper analysis using their own guidelines, despite the fact that the Ninth Circuit here in California directed them to do it correctly. After establishing that, they failed to do it. So there's a lobbying and legislative and. Scientific debate that's being created that creates doubt. It's the same book that tobacco used Create doubt and persist. And eventually you're right, people are going to wise up and knock it off. And I think that under Bobby Kennedy, Secretary Kennedy and Secretary Rollins, we have a chance to increase regenerative farming and decrease Roundup dependence in the U.S. can
Steve Bannon
I just take one of those aspects? As I know you, as you're a lawyer, but you've had to make yourself an expert in this. Just what I didn't think there was any scientific debate about this. Walk through the bid in the ass on the scientific debate. What are Monsanto and Bear saying versus what outside independent scientists are saying. Because I thought we had kind of settled the science and there was a whole process of how to already have an off ramp. And I thought that was kind of the executive order. When Bobby came in and I knew Nicole Shanahan and the people that were the agricultural part of the MAHA movement, I think felt the same way that this was a process that we had for an off ramp and for something that was going to be maybe a lot more than 700 million of regenerative, which is nothing to sneeze at, but it was already a program. When you say there's a scientific argument they're making, what is the scientific argument that they are trying to make?
Michael Limbaum
They say that the EPA has deemed glyphosate and Roundup not to be a carcinogen and they have refused to reevaluate it using the proper methods. We used as an expert in our Trials, Chris Poitier. Dr. Chris Poitier, who wrote the guidelines for the EPA, wrote the guidelines for how you evaluate carcinogenetic. And he went through all the animal studies and epidemiology and arrived at the conclusion that along with iarc, the International association for Research on Cancer deemed that it was a probable carcinogen. Monsanto has hired experts to refute that and they do, they do. They ghostwrite articles pretending to be independent science when it's not. They've been caught ghost writing, they've been caught in our, our lawsuit showing that they, they miss, they misrepresent what the science actually is. That said the ways they do that is they had some studies that were done and some publications experts that they hired that said that there wasn't a Carson, there wasn't a elevated level of carcinogenicity. They say that their studies show that there aren't any carcinogenicity problems. But if you look at the independent science, it shows that there is and so do you. Which do you weigh more? The ones that that Monsanto did or the ones that independent scientists did? The Ramazini Institute just did a fantastic analysis and found that there was clear levels of increased carcinogenicity not just in Roundup, not just in non Hodgkin's lymphoma. Zen Honeycutt at Moms Across America has been finding Roundup in all sorts of food products that kids and Americans are eating on a routine basis. Is that contributing to gut microbiota being displaced and leading to some of the metabolic disorders that are prevalent in the US now? Will Monsanto recognize that no, they keep insisting. And one of the, in the emails that we declassified called the Monsanto papers, which you can Google, one of their main mantras was to have freedom to operate fto. They want to be able to say that they are free to operate independent of regulation, independent of independent science. They want to be able to sell and push their product notwithstanding that there is science against them.
Steve Bannon
If let's leave the margins and the profitability of Monsanto and bear off to the side for a second. But if you had to shift today to a totally non Roundup world, is it just not economically feasible? I mean we underwrite now $11 billion saying in Roundup, how much more would the US government have to underwrite a farmer so that they could make a shift to either regenerative, organic or maybe some other product that's everybody's consensus, not carcinogenic. Because the end of the day it's not that we care about the profits of Bayer and Monsanto. They're big companies, they got to figure it out. What we care about is you can't tank the farmers if they've been using this and are not off it. So what is the pathway that you recommended, you see, to actually shift people over here? And can you just be done cold turkey, say you're just not going to use it, use this. And if the government's got to underwrite it, the government's got to underwrite it for at least for a while.
Michael Limbaum
Well, I think Secretary Kennedy is correct that we can't go cold turkey. The margins that the farming community rely upon for just staying afloat are too thin and you just can't do it like that. But you could start subsidizing regenerative farming and organic farming and farming without Roundup being used much more than it's being assigned to it now. That would be one of the first steps I think to do. There are lots of opportunities and methods for doing that. Nvidia has come up with a type of weed killing that targets just the weed, does not kill any of the microbiota in the soil and does
Steve Bannon
whole
Michael Limbaum
crop or whole large and level industrial level farming type weed killing without killing the microbiota and without poisoning the soil, without poisoning plants that grow the, the crops that grow. That type of development needs more
Steve Bannon
support
Michael Limbaum
and require that will require money, it will require subsidies, it will require people willing to make that shift and it requires companies like Nvidia to make it affordable. So and, but they've done the research, they show how it works. It's pretty Interesting method of killing weeds.
Steve Bannon
Look, we'd love to have you back on here. We want to get more thinking about this. Bobby was on Joe Rogan. That is just Broker. If my staff can get it, we'll play that. He was quite obviously upset and you know, they're working through a plant. So we really appreciate you, Michael, coming on here.

Michael Limbaum
There's Whisnerbomb.com is the website for our law firm. And if you did a Google search for Monsanto Papers, Wisner Baum. We had all the thousands of pages of internal documents and all the expert reports that were used for the trials that we won. And that's a really good resource.

Mike Lindell
He's got him.
Neil McCabe
He's got him.
Correspondent/Analyst
He's.
Steve Bannon
I'm with him.
Ben Berkwam
Get out.
Michael Limbaum
Get out.
Ben Berkwam
Turn around.
Mike Lindell
Turn him up.
Steve Bannon
Turn.
Michael Limbaum
There we go.
Patriot Speaker
Down on the ground.
Steve Bannon
Get on the ground.
Patriot Speaker
Get on the ground.
Neil McCabe
This is what happens when you're taught to not comply with law enforcement. And then they blame law enforcement for reacting. Listen to law enforcement, comply with their orders and this won't happen.
Mike Lindell
Okay?
Steve Bannon
God bless ice.
Neil McCabe
Listen to law enforcement, comply with their orders. Don't act like that idiot.
Tom Holman
Used to be a good neighborhood, but I saw three murders, me and my son, right, walk out the dog, boom, Boom, boom, boom. Seven shots. A guy killed walking his two girls at a bus stop right there. 3:30 in the afternoon. And there's a Middle Eastern guy found in a trunk in a Mercedes. Bernie. So you guys are doing a good job.
Neil McCabe
What's your message to President Trump? Tom Holman, ice I told my we
Tom Holman
believe we're safer because this place is filled up with cars, all the people sleeping in it with guns and stuff. I see every time and I'm not lying.
ICE Officer
Thank you.
Correspondent/Analyst
Trouble.
Neil McCabe
That's it right there, guys. Law abiding citizens, they want more ice, not less. Speaking of due process, this guy who just fought with you guys, tell me about him.
ICE Officer
That's correct. He is Torres from Ecuador and he has a bnb, an absentia order, so. Which means that he had his right to due process. However, he refused to go see his immigration judge so the immigration process can play out. So this individual's next step is getting a travel document to his home country and he will be removed.
Steve Bannon
Okay, welcome back to Wherham Texas, Mo. Thank you for joining us. We're going to talk a little bit of grassroots. You got some other information too about some of the patriots that have been on these assaults. So thank you for joining us here on a Friday. I want to go to our own Ben Berkwam.
Ben Berkwam
Ben.
Steve Bannon
So 20%, this was not located in Texas. Ben is going to join us here. But I wanted to play this because it shows us where we are right now. 20%, I think, total either deportations and ICE activity. 20% of the total has come from the great state of Texas. And people will tell you here that ICE working with law enforcement was what made that so great at first. Now we've got this situation. You got this trial. I think there's a trial in Dallas. There's another trial in Antifa. That was a mistrial the other day. It's gonna stop all the people that tried to thwart. That tried to thwart law enforcement in Texas from working with ICE are kind of at the forefront now. And President Trump just said this in Corpus Christi. He said, we're gonna continue to do it. But there was no mention of mass deportations. It looks like you went out on special assignment in California. It appears to me that we're back to what you spent February and March of last year doing. Going out with ICE and doing these incredible raids, but on Bad Hombres. And you can see right there, the resident likes it. But it's not the Bovino school of we gotta get a lot of people out here, Mike. How? And people, they're starting, I gotta tell you, it's getting real traction in Texas. This mass deportation coalition. Tom Holman and these guys have an impossible job. So when you're out there with those folks today in California, what's the esprit de corps? Do they feel like they were actually making progress? Are we back to 10 ICE agents on one bad hombre?
Neil McCabe
Yeah, just to clarify, that was Phoenix ICE that I was with. I'm actually on the border of California now. I'm in Lake Havasu. Going to be speaking over here tomorrow at a Republican Lincoln Day dinner here. But yeah, it is. It's the Bad Hombres. Targeted enforcement. There's definitely a shift back to specifically targeting individuals that we have extensive rap sheets on or extensive background work up on, versus the Bevino model of this consensual encounter is what they call it, and basically going out into the community and engaging the community doing targeted traffic enforcement and that sort of thing. But in those cases, you don't really have an idea of who you're going to be encountering until you encounter them. When that was happening in Minneapolis and all across the country, both were happening at the same time you had target enforcement plus the consensual encounter enforcement. And it definitely seems like they've backed off the consensual encounter back to this target enforcement. As you said, you've got many, many ICE officers for potentially one person picked up. It's just you said it's an impossible task with the millions of illegals that were brought in under Joe Biden. There has to be an increased enforcement. But part of that has to be to win the propaganda war, the PR war against these leftists that are training their antifa scum to attack ice, that are training the community to work against ice, that are training, being trained by people like Mayor Fry in Minneapolis that I confronted in Washington D.C. at the State of the Union to have their police officers not work with ice. And that's a huge difference. You said it Steve. Texas has the highest percentage per state out of any other state in the country. Because Texas law enforcement actually works with ice. If law enforcement was actually able to work with ice, you can do this across the country in a relatively short amount of time. When you look at states like Illinois and Oregon or California where they're intentionally obstructing ice, it's virtually impossible.
Steve Bannon
Okay, so you know the center for Immigration Studies now Mike Howell and people disagree some of these numbers, but the rough number may be 1.5 million to 2 million self deportations in the first year. Now Mike Howe and some guys say hey that number could be 4 or 500,000. But still a lot of people self deported. The reason for that was the visibility of what you coming out with got and putting the media there. In Texas, in California and in Chicago, people got the idea. Particularly people will tell you in Texas and in California and some Arizona people just left and they left it in big droves. You're not going to get that because now you can even see this in Texas, particularly in places like Dallas, because these blue cities, Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, you've got the same problem. They're not sanctuary cuz they can't cuz the state's too tough down here. But as you saw, they had the jury nullification the other day on Trende Aragua, torturing a guy in front of his, I think nieces and nephews and then killing him in cold blood. Two mistrials, the guy walks. You've seen the situation mistrial the other day because of the lawyer in the antifa trial. I think that was like there's got 20 people. There's another aspect of this going on where they've Killed another, I think it was another ICE officer. All throughout Texas you see this problem that we didn't have a year ago. And it just seems to me if you're just back to onesies, twosies, this is, and I realize this is a midterm strategy, I don't happen to think it works because I do think people are enthusiastic. We just had, we had Steve Cortez on here today. That said in Wisconsin, it's like a 30 point gap of people that support in the Hispanic community that supports up there stronger enforcement, particularly the beginning of mass deportations. President Trump was in Corpus Christi, we understand. Now if Virginia, if these seats In Virginia, the 10 to 1 goes, the entire holding of the House could be those three Hispanic American seats that are being created down in South Texas. So how does the word get back to Homan and these guys that hey, people actually, and particularly people in like in places like Arizona and Texas support this and want to see more of it?
Neil McCabe
Yeah, well that's up to us. And this is the big difference, Steve. The way we win this is by lowering the hammer on antifa activists and these scumbags in these cities. The problem as you mentioned is you have activist antifa judges that side with these guys. So there has to be consequences. And this goes back to what you mentioned it Mike Banks, I interviewed Mike Banks, the chief of the Border Patrol just a few weeks ago and he said every single surge operation they did in America resulted in exponential increases in the CBP home app being used and the self deportations happening. It's exactly because that the illegals in those communities knew their days were numbered and, and they knew they better get out now and take that free money and go home versus getting a one way ticket out of here and never being able to come back. It has to be a combination of those things. But there has to be consequences for the people that are terrorists that are attacking ice. And if that doesn't happen, I, you know, I just don't, I, I just don't see it happening. And that the American people need to tell Tom Homan, they need to tell President Trump that they back them. We need to hear this across the entire country in every state, if you support President Trump, if you support Tom Homan, if you support ICE in mass deportation, they need to hear you now. Not six weeks from now, not after the midterms, when it's too late, they need to hear it now. They need to know they want all gas, no brakes, deport everyone, mass deportations. Otherwise mainstream media is pushing the narrative that America doesn't care. In fact, America is turning against ice. America wants less deportations. That's an absolute lie. The only place you find that are in the communist jihadist utopias in America that have already defunded their police, that have already neutered law enforcement. That's not America. We have to have regular America stand up and say that's not what we want. We want mass deportation.
Steve Bannon
I can tell you with some of these people in these blue cities in Texas and some of this jury is scary because they're now passing out brochures to train people in the cities on jury nullification. So it's very, very, very scary. Ben, real quickly, what was the esprit of core of the, of the officers out in Arizona there?
Neil McCabe
You know what man? Their mentality is they just want to do their job. And every single one I've asked and through the ups and the downs, through last year, through this year, through every one of them says they thank God President Trump's in office, their morale was the lowest it had ever been under Joe Biden cuz they couldn't do their job. In fact, I'll be releasing some of those interviews I did in Arizona. They said these are seasoned veteran officers who've been in the service for 15, 16, 17 years who said this is the first time in their career that they've finally been able to fully do their job. They love it. They just want the handcuffs off. They want to be able to do it and they want to know that America and the Justice Department has their back in doing their job.
Steve Bannon
Ben, where are you going to speak? Is it live stream? How do people get it? If not, you're going to put it up on social media tonight?
Neil McCabe
Yeah, it'll be tomorrow night. It's the Lake Havasu Lincoln Day Republican event and I believe we'll be pushing it live stream to social media. And then I've also got my speech from last week at the California Republican Assembly. I'm going to be rebroadcasting that as well. That'll be 7pm Excuse me, 6pm I actually don't remember what time. I think it's 6pm Tomorrow night, Lake Havasu. So it's Mountain Standard Time. I'll be live from there.
Steve Bannon
Ben, great job as always.
Neil McCabe
Oh, and Steve, my next episode, next episode of Law and Border is tomorrow at 7pm East. That's why I'm getting my times confused. 7pm Eastern time. You don't want to miss that one either.
Steve Bannon
Fantastic. Ben Berquam Always great. You're doing great work. Stay safe.
Neil McCabe
Thank you, sir.
Steve Bannon
Ben and Mo are our two number one speakers right now. By the way, we're going to have Oscar Blue Ramirez. Oscar is actually in the really tough part of the cartel country. Did great reporting today on Eric Bolling show. And throughout the day we're going to have Oscar on with some additional footage. He had to get out of there. It was getting a little dangerous. You and Ben Berkwam are the two. You're hot commodities. You're speaking all over the place. Thank you for coming out here. The grassroots is under and I just want to say something, make sure because President Trump listens to this. In the speech, he gave Paxton a shout out and there was a huge set of applause for that. He gave Cornyn a shout out.
Mo
Not really a round of applause for that.
Steve Bannon
Crickets. And then he kind of did Congressman and Wesley Hunt, who I know is a friend of yours, you're on the board of West Point with him.
Ben Berkwam
Wesley.
Steve Bannon
It was kind of like it was kind of a gap and he did with a congressman. I think people kind of lost the that it was a three way race.
Mo
I agree. And I think, I'm not sure if that was to want he wanted to address him with the congressman. But I think that like you said, kind of forgot maybe that he's running for this seat. But if you can hear the sound of my voice and you have not voted in this election and you are in the state of Texas, you need to make sure that you get to your polling location on voting day, on game day, because this is a very important election. And like you said, we need to focus on Texas. If we lose Texas, we lose the United States.
Steve Bannon
Well, and I want to tell you the early voting counts will have more to on the Marshall tonight, the Republicans because a lot of people don't like early voting here, particularly what I call the Doc Chambers, the more hardcore war room posse. They're not into early voting. They're not, you're not going to change your mind. That being said, I think we've overperformed so far for a midterm year. The problem is the Democrats have a tsunami and we just have to face the fact that they're very organized, have a ton of outside money. I keep telling people if they're successful in this primary and putting up numbers that are bigger, you're going to have a billion dollars flooded into the state from nefarious groups to support this. We're going to have a and I think we could have A couple of runoffs. Unless Paxton is really running through the tape right now. People are saying they think he might be able to, but he's getting. There's so much money being spent against him, it's unbelievable.
Mo
I agree with you. And if it does come to a runoff, then you need to focus here in the state of Texas on grassroots efforts. You can't put grassroots efforts by the wayside. We've seen candidates in other states that have focused predominantly on the grassroots and getting grassroots teams involved, and they've won. They've done great. And people that don't get involved and don't do the grassroots effort, we don't. You see them not in members of Congress or Senate.
Steve Bannon
They've got a report right now. Cornyn, I think, has spent close to $80 million and almost all negative ads, except he took out kind of a phony sharia ad when we made that a big deal here. But Ken Paxton, $3.6 million. It's just not the resources there. Let's jump for a second. Mike Lindell's joined us. Mike, we missed you in the last hour because the president wrapped up late. President was on a roll, as you've seen him, Mike Lindell and Corpus Christi. I didn't think he wanted to give a stage because it was hitting it on all cylinders. I know you run it for governor, but what the Warren Posse wants to hear from you late on a Friday afternoon, early on a Friday evening is what is the deal? Are we still moving the factory? Is this deal still open to us?
Mike Lindell
Absolutely. But I'm gonna put in a little government ad. You guys, tomorrow morning, I get to do a debate right in my home county tomorrow. My first governor debate right in my home county. So I'm looking forward to that. And if you want to help out There, it's Mike Lindellgov.com I know you're all helping out Texas, but I need help up here because I need. Minnesota, as you know, is the tip of the spear for fraud in our country. But you're right, Steve. I'm. You guys, I wouldn't be here, wouldn't even be able to do this if it wasn't for the war room posse. We're moving our factory. We've been doing it the last two weeks. We got another week. You guys could really help out right now and help yourself. I'm bringing back the mattress and the mattress toppers so we don't have to move them. You guys get them for as low as 99, 98. And, yes, I'm going to honor that. Free shipping on your entire order. These big ticket items right to your front door on stop on top of the sale. Go to mypillow.com forward/war room and you're going to see all the items from our factory that we're not going to carry anymore. Our clothing line up to 80% off. You guys just go there, get it all for the war room. Pass you guys. But make sure you get the mattress, the mattress toppers to get the best sleep of your life. All our other products with that big mega second annual mega sale, those are there too. It's kind of like three sales in one. It's a sale of the century. Promo code war room. You guys call 800-873-1062. You did it this morning. It was over. You got my operators loved it. You got every phone ringing this morning. Let's do it again. 800-873-1062. Promo code War Room.
Steve Bannon
Mike, thank you so much. Of course. Ben Berkhom jumped Friday the other night, asked him some questions. State of the Union didn't have any good answers. We're going to have you back on here tomorrow morning, Mike, as you're fighting the good fight up in Minnesota. Appreciate you, sir. Early voting ends today in Texas. That means, as Mo said, we got to get ready for game day. It's Tuesday. A lot of the grassroots here and particularly a lot of the war and posse in Texas are game day voters. They don't like voting early also today and I think they've extended out to midnight. Birch Gold. Take your phone out and text Bannon B A N N O N 989-898 the ultimate guide. This guide is free. There's no obligation about investing in gold and precious metals. And gold ended today at, yes, close to, I think a dollar or too short of 5,300 bucks. When we started writing up with Birch Gold, the analysis called the end of the dollar. Empire Gold was $1,100 an ounce. Find out why it became a hedge in times of financial turbulence. Geopolitical is this weekend. We're on tenterhooks about Iran. So go check it all out. Okay, Mo, real quickly, you know about the the chief warrant officer that was awarded the Congressional Medal of the Honor the other day?
Mo
I do. So actually, small world. One of our security worked with a gentleman I knew when I was stationed at Fort Campbell and we reconnected. We've been friends since I was at Campbell, but he trained and his friends with the Medal of Honor recipient, the Warrant officer, the CW5. So it's a very small world. You know, the military, the military, no matter when you were in it seems like you have a connection everywhere.
Steve Bannon
Fantastic. What a hero that guy is. I'm telling you he deserves went in. I think we have many heroes in Iran. We're going to be up all week and like I said, if anything pops, we'll be on it right away. We're going to be back here at 10:00am Eastern Time, Eastern Standard Time tomorrow morning when you'll be in the war room. Until then, have a great Friday night.
Mo
Away,
Patriot Speaker
God away.

This episode tackles two major themes:
“He [President Trump] preferred negotiations. He preferred a settlement. But if… the Iranians want a war, they'll get one.” – Neil McCabe ([02:26])
“President Trump puts a lot of weight in what General Raisin Cain will say. He's got a lot of faith in this guy.” – Steve Bannon ([06:01])
“Monsanto essentially has a stranglehold over the farmers in the U.S... there's a monopolistic stranglehold where they have really no choice but to use Roundup Ready products.” – Michael Limbaum ([10:34])
“Billions of dollars are made by Monsanto and Bayer from these products. And they use that to lobby congressmen and legislation that is in their favor.... They had, essentially, moles inside the EPA.” – Michael Limbaum ([15:36])
“If you did a Google search for Monsanto Papers, Wisner Baum. We had all the thousands of pages of internal documents and all the expert reports that were used for the trials that we won.” – Michael Limbaum ([25:13])
“If we lose Texas, we lose the United States.” – Mo ([45:57])

Summary:
This episode encapsulates War Room’s signature blend of populist outrage, investigative focus, and movement activism, zeroing in on how entrenched corporate interests (Monsanto), bureaucratic inertia, and ideological opponents complicate efforts to restore “American sovereignty”—whether that means purging toxins from the food supply or enforcing immigration law at the border. It’s a rallying call, with detailed analysis, pointed critique, and an eye toward the upcoming Texas primaries and national political consequences.
