Key Discussion Points & Insights

---

1. Election Mobilization in New Jersey and Ground Game Analysis

[01:23 – 14:54]

Redistricting & On-the-Ground Tactics

• Steve Bannon opens by emphasizing MAGA’s role in both geopolitical and domestic fights, naming ongoing “redistricting wars” and ground efforts like voter registration.
• Scott Pressler joins to discuss New Jersey’s upcoming gubernatorial race (Jack Ciattarelli), emphasizing that “every vote is going to matter.” He challenges the notion that New Jersey is too blue, citing close past elections and Republicans’ potential.

Quote:

“In 2021, that election was decided by 84,000 votes and 600,000 Republicans stayed home and did not vote.”
— Scott Pressler [04:19]

• Pressler calls for early in-person voting (Oct 25 – Nov 2), organizing rallies to boost turnout, and legal collective voting actions.

Converting Low-Propensity Voters

• Bannon acknowledges the challenge of engaging less-politically active voters and credits Pressler, Charlie Kirk, and others with perfecting grassroots apparatuses for mobilization—especially crucial when Trump himself isn’t on the ballot.

Quote:

“Low information has nothing to do with IQ or education level. It’s just there’s a lot of people out there just not into politics.”
— Steve Bannon [06:29]

• Pressler flips the narrative, insisting Trump is "on the ballot" in every state where his agenda is at stake, even in off-cycle or local elections.

Quote:

“If you do not vote, if Republicans stay home in 2025, the people that celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination win.”
— Scott Pressler [08:29]

Calls to Action

• Pressler urges listeners to become poll workers, use his Early Vote Action app for phone and text banking, write postcards, and especially to vote early on October 25th to create momentum.

Quote:

“If we get those voters out, Steve, we win... If you’re going to vote early, make it your priority to do big beautiful turnout on October 25th.”
— Scott Pressler [12:40]

---

2. The Redistricting War, Texas, and the Stakes Ahead

[18:06 – 33:58]

Texas as a Battleground State

• Bannon underscores the cultural and political significance of Texas:

  “Texas is ... the railhead of the MAGA movement, and I can make the argument the most important of all the states... If we lose Tarrant county, we lose Texas, and likely we don’t have another Republican president ever.”
  — Steve Bannon [27:33]

• Scott Coburn (Patriot Mobile) amplifies turnout efforts in Tarrant County, urging locals to support conservative candidate Lee Wambsgans and warns of well-funded opposition, including foreign money.

Quote:

“We need to keep this fight at home and stop the mockery that these Rhino Republicans have made out of our state. And it starts right now.”
— Scott Coburn [28:20]

Redistricting Struggles

• Bannon and Coburn detail the fight over fair district lines, calling out establishment resistance and the need for continued grassroots action.
• Coburn stresses that MAGA organizing is just beginning in Texas:

  “We’re just now getting started. We’re in the bottom of the first inning. Our pitcher’s just getting warmed up, and we’re about ready to bring the heat, baby.”
  — Scott Coburn [28:52]

---

3. International Tensions: Russia, Ukraine, and U.S. Policy

[31:41 – 42:10]

Escalation in US-Russia Relations

• Bannon turns to geopolitical developments with Ben Harnwell in Rome.
• Medvedev (close Putin ally) declares recent U.S. actions as a "declaration of war" after sanctions and cancellation of diplomatic meetings.
• Harnwell’s main point: President Trump authorized the use of UK-provided, US-targeted long-range missiles by Ukraine against a Russian facility—an escalatory first.

Quote:

“Once you cross this, you’ve crossed it. President Trump has authorized the use of long-distance weapons, British made, British provided, but with US intelligence.”
— Ben Harnwell [38:55]

• Harnwell cites Wall Street Journal as his main source, notes U.S. press is focused on sanctions, and suggests the missile authorization marks a significant escalation.

---

4. Media, Influence, and the Right-Wing Ecosystem

[47:34 – 53:13]

Influence and Legacy: Jack Posobiec and Charlie Kirk

• Bannon highlights a The Atlantic article naming Jack Posobiec as “the most powerful influencer in MAGA,” but Posobiec defers, crediting Charlie Kirk.

Memorable Exchange:

Bannon: “Is it true or not? Are you the most powerful of the MAGA influencers, sir?”
Posobiec: “No, I’m not. ... It’s Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk is the number one MAGA influencer and he still is.”
— [49:28 – 49:52]

• Bannon and Posobiec recall Antifa confrontation stories, the risks for MAGA activists, and the significance of committed, faith-based leadership in the movement.

Quote:

“Charlie Kirk did something and that’s why they assassinated him...Charlie Kirk is a saint. Yes, we said it.”
— Steve Bannon [49:52]

---

Other Notable Moments & Quotes

• Pressler emphasizing urgency:

  “Please, if you’re going to vote early, make it your priority to do big beautiful turnout on October 25th.” [12:36]

• Bannon on legacy media:

  “Mainstream media is losing their mind about President Trump’s crackdown on Antifa and actually rolling this thing up.” [53:10]

• Bannon riffing on SpaceX and government contracts:

  “You can’t concentrate on all that power in one person’s hands....We need to get a piece of the action.” [43:37]

• Harnwell, on reporting and skepticism:

  “I trust their facts when they report them as facts. Their interpretation often I wouldn’t trust with a barge poll.” [40:13]

Conclusion

This “War Room” episode is a battle call to the MAGA movement—urgently driving grassroots turnout in elections, warning of complacency, celebrating organizational achievements, and framing battles at home (NJ, TX, PA) as existential. The foreign policy segment ups the ante, suggesting a dangerous crossing of lines with the latest American actions in Ukraine, while the media segment reflects on the shifting landscape of MAGA influence and the messaging imperative.

Final Message:
Mobilize, volunteer, and stay vigilant—across precincts, counties, states, and global fronts. The war, Bannon and his guests argue, is being waged everywhere, and victory depends on relentless grassroots action and information warfare.

War Room here's your host, Stephen k. Band.

[D]

Foreign 23 October at Yervalure 2025 the War in Posse because of your importance in the MAGA movement and being tip of the spear of kind of driving action, this is why we do inundate you with both the geopolitical, the global financial and also, you know, back to Maine and Idaho in investigations like, like, like o' Keefe and the President. I can tell you, I think you're going to see these bilats, they're going to see a expansion of the bilats to have some of these bilats. We kind of got the formula, you know, where the dignitary shows up, President Trump grieves him, goes in for a few minutes privately. Then he invites the media and spends some time with them publicly talking about what they're working on. And then he takes questions. I think that works perfectly since that format seems to work for our audience and they got a kind of a template. I think you'll see more domestic because I think there's a huge pivot inside as they're trying to get world peace and stop these conflicts to focus at the same time, which they're doing on domestic issues, particularly the economy. One of the things politically and MSNBC said this last night in A moment of clarity that the most important thing going on politically right now is the redistricting wars. Right. Of which we're the tip of the spear of. And Degrasse is working on some stuff. We're getting the details, I think, if not tomorrow and Saturday, the next week. But North Carolina is moving forward, although Idaho's kind of. Excuse me, Indiana's kind of hung up on the nine zeros. We'll say eight to one. Anyway, there's a massive effort going on behind the scenes where we get everybody up to speed. The other massive effort is a true American hero and patriot, Scott Pressler. Scott Pressler, who's done the ground game and registrations and trying to get a more level playing field, of course. Absolutely critical to the victory in Pennsylvania and his. His kind of watchword that the effort is to turn Pennsylvania into the new Ohio and New Jersey into the new Pennsylvania. Okay, so we're down to it. We're now with a couple of weeks to go. It's a dead. Essentially, the polling shows a little bit of a gap, but I think on the ground there's ground truth maybe that we're a little closer to drawing neck and neck and maybe even squeaking out a victory. Scott Presser's here. Scott, you've been hammering this talk to me. What's going on? What's your current assessment? We got a couple of weeks out.

[C]

Thank you, Steve. Well, I want everyone to know that this race for Jack Ciatarelli running for governor of the Garden State, New Jersey, this is a tied race race. Every vote is going to matter. Every vote is going to count. And Steve, I want to remind the viewer at home, the listener that will say that New Jersey is too blue to elect a Republican governor.

[D]

No.

[C]

In 2021, that election was decided by 84,000 votes and 600,000 Republicans stayed home and did not vote. In 2021. We could have stopped Phil Murphy from becoming governor again had Republicans just come out and vote. And I want to also remind the listener that this is a state, New Jersey, that went double digits for Joe Biden in 2020, but went within 5 percentage points of electing Donald Trump with those electoral points in New Jersey in 2024, we won Passaic County, a state county that hadn't gone for a Republican president since 19, and that is a majority minority county. Right now, Republicans are returning mail in ballots at a higher percentage rate than Democrats. And so if you have your mail in ballot, I want you to turn it in immediately. But what we need, Steve, if we are going to be competitive. And if we are going to win and push Jack across the finish line, we need high in person early voting, which begins October 25 through November 2. October 25 through November 2. Please vote early in person for Jack ciatarelli.

[D]

So the 25th is, is Saturday, correct? The early in person voting starts Saturday.

[C]

Yes. And we're beginning rallies. We will be in Paramus and Bergen county, the biggest, most populous county in New Jersey, at 10 o'. Clock. And I have that graphic on my social media. Please join us. We're going to get everybody hyped up, revved up. Jack is going to be there, your candidate. And then what we're going to do is all of these in person early rallies that we're having. We're then going to march everybody legally and lawfully over to the early in person voting location and vote together as a family.

[D]

So, Scott, one of the conundrums of the MAGA movement and our in bringing coalitions together, make America healthy again and the parents rights and with maga, the hardcore populist nationalists and back of President Trump, this coalition we haven't solved for, or I should say it differently, you are one of the lead engineers and how to solve for a issue we have. And the issue we have is that low propensity, low information voters, and low information has nothing to do with IQ or education level. It's just there's a lot of people out there just not into politics. Right. And so they don't follow political news. They follow, you know, sports or, you know, cultural things or some of them just dialed out at all. But unless Trump's on the ballot, 24 is different because Charlie Kirk and Scott Pressler and Cliff Maloney and, and the precinct strategy people and the war room posse and all that, you guys have apparatuses and we know how to do that. You've perfected that and Charlie Kurtz perfected that. So we have that down. Just like in 2020 when they stole it or 2016, we came from behind. But where Trump's not on the ballot, like in some of these midterms. And this is why the fight for redistricting was so important. And Alex Agrass is a hero for getting their seats back pre 22. And this is why the fight for redistricting, the redistricting war now would determine to a large extent the midterms.

[C]

Walk me through.

[D]

What is the best way? What are your two, what tools you have in the toolbox to go and get the low propensity voter. That is absolutely essential to the MAGA movement and to continual victories when President Trump's not on the ballot. And particularly something like in New Jersey when it's a kind of these weird off years where it's just kind of a statewide race. What are the tools in the toolbox that Scott Pressler uses? And how can the War Room Posse assist you in this heroic effort, sir?

[C]

Thank you. I want to be clear, Steve, Trump is on the ballot. If you want to have energy going into the midterm elections in 2026, which is going to determine whether or not President Trump is a two year president versus a four year president, they already stole two years from the president by taking the House in 2018 and then impeaching him. If you don't want that to happen again, we must win this year. Trump is on the ballot in 2025 in Virginia, in Pennsylvania, in New Jersey. And I say this as respectfully and thoughtfully as possible. Charlie is on the ballot this November. And I want everyone to hear me as clear as day. If you do not vote, if Republicans stay home in 2025, the people that celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination win. If you don't vote, you are allowing the very people that celebrated his assassination to be elevated into positions of power. And do you think that Jay Jones is going to prosecute criminals in the Commonwealth of Virginia? No. Charlie's on the ballot. Trump is on the ballot. Steve, as soon as we helped together as a family deliver the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for Donald J. Trump, we immediately announced that we were going to New Jersey. I've had 14 full time staff on the ground across New Jersey's 21 counties and we are doing a 21 county play. It's not just about Essex and Hudson and Camden, but getting high turnout in places like Salem and Warren and Hunterdon and Ocean, and even continuing to engage with black and brow communities in Passaic county that gave President Trump within 5 percentage points of winning New Jersey. This is a low propensity game. And I'll tell you, I met a woman, Steve, in Passaic county that registered to vote the day that President Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania. That woman came to an event that I had and she said, scott, after voting for the president for the first time ever, my first vote, I am voting in my first gubernatorial election ever. This is a base turnout election. I am asking every posse member, everyone you know in California, no to Prop 50 in Virginia, win some Sears for governor in New Jersey, Jack Ciatarelli for governor in Pennsylvania, no to retention on those Democrat Supreme Court Justices in Georgia, you have a statewide election for public service Commission. This is Trump is on the ballot. Republican policies are on the ballot and I need every single Republican that vot year to vote this year and we will win.

[D]

Steve, I know you've got it set up that you can do it remote or calls what the posse right now. If they want to volunteer and assist you, they want to become part of you're the field, one of the field commanders. So they want to come in and say hey, I've got some time or maybe I actually show up. Where do they go right now to find out how they can fill your ranks?

[C]

Well, a couple things. One, please slide into my DMs on social media. Scott Pressler we need eyes and ears. Passaic county already said that it won't have cameras and it won't be making sure that our elections are secure in the very county that voted for Donald Trump. We need poll greeters, we need election day workers, we need eyes and ears to anyone that is willing, that is able come to New Jersey. Come to New Jersey. I will connect you with a member of my team and we'd love to have you. For those of you that are not able to come to New Jersey, please download the Early Vote action app. This is my application. It's free. You can call voters, you can text voters, you can still write postcards to voters. You probably want to get those in the mail right now when you text. Just hear me out. I'm only asking for 25 texts per person. 25 texts from all of the posse and you will reach every registered Republican in Jersey. Turn off your imessages, make the message your own. Just let them know. 84,000 voters decided the 2021 and 600,000 Republicans stayed home. 600,000 Republicans stayed home. If we get those voters out, Steve, we win. And I will end on this note. Please, I encourage you, I urge you, I plead with you. October 25th, if we show huge monumental early in person voting, the low propensity voter is going to get all of this newsfeed of people talking about it from your show and rumble and getter and X and they're going to go, wow, Republicans in New Jersey are energized. Look at the amount of people that turned out on Saturday, October 25th. So please, if you're going to vote early, make it your priority to do big beautiful turnout on October 25th. And I look forward to seeing all of you at in person rallies across New Jersey. I ask for your vote for Jack Ciatarelli. To become the next governor. We can win this election. Steve.

[D]

Real quickly, Scott, we got a minute. You've made this statement that because of your work and other guys work and the President obviously driving this, that we've turned Pennsylvania into the new Ohio and that New Jersey is the new Pennsylvania. Give me that. Give me a minute on that sir, before we leave.

[C]

In 2012 there were 1.2 million more registered Democrats than Republicans. Steve, we are 55,000 active voters. From flipping the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania from BL if you want to see that happen. If you want Pennsylvania to become the next Ohio or Florida, I need you to vote this November, turn over your ballot and vote no to retention to Democrat Justices Doherty, Donahue and wet. You have the power Pennsylvania in one election to defeat three Democrat justices that locked you down, that stole your election and that gerrymandered your maps. If you want to forever change the political landscape of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and make it into a red commonwealth, you flip over your ballot and fire your judges this November. Tuesday, November 4, 2025.

Ba ba ba. Okay, so many of the stories from around the states are so important. If you've got a story, you're in the chat or get to grace or movie, you know, pitch, let us know what's going on. We're trying to cover it all from the global to the local because MAGA is, you know, drives the agenda, drives the messaging. We're going to have Idaho and Maine on tonight. Also, Mike Walsh. I think I got Dr. Bradley Thayer. If I can't, I definitely should get Dr. Bradley Thayer with him on what's happening in my beloved Ireland, because a lot going on there, tied to, I think you could say immigration there. It's foisted on them by the political class. There's so much going on in Texas. I just got back from there. Huge coming out of Texas and this whole question of what exactly is going on with Islam down there. Laura Loomer's also got on her tweet something about Capitol Hill. I'm going to try to get to Laura right afterwards and Tuberville's involved, et cetera. But another breaking story right there in this New Jersey is very important because taking control of that state from the governor's mansion is important in 26 and in 28, it would be monumental. The polling's got a little bit of separation, but it's all going to be about turnout. It's a turnout game. That's right. Cliff, Maloney, Pressler, all of them. Everybody is up there right now and grinding. If you can be of assistance, particularly if you can give of yourself even remotely to do text. I don't know if they're going to set phone banks, but if you can get there in person, get to press or get to Maloney, get to these folks. It's now riot to the sound of the guns on this one because we lost it last time because there was not enough attention paid to it. That won't be the case this time. And remember, the Scott's right. President Trump is on the ballot here. It's vitally important that we win the state, so make sure everybody's on top of it. Texas, Scott Coburn. So, Scott, you know, Glenn's story is the unspoken hero of the situation that took place with the the most important fight we got right now is the redistricting war. I'm very upset that there was a decision made, I guess, by the Republicans, people putting up the money not to get President Trump engaged in California because California's got more maga, absolute number of MAGA voters than Texas or Florida, just given their, you know, the scale of their population. A decision was made not to, I think, get President Trump involved here. Although Newsom's entire campaign is not about redistricting, it's just about stopping Trump and impeaching Trump. They don't get into the details, whereas the the right or the Republican Party and people doing it are in some sort of esoteric discussion about, you know, commissions and all that. That doesn't move people. This is like in the Brexit situation where Boris Johnson had the official. He got, you know, because they give money to the official things in these big propositions. He beat Nigel for the official campaign and he it was a smart campaign. He didn't smart about Brussels. All your sovereignty has been lost and Brussels makes all the laws. But even that, it may be powerful to the Warren posse who are involved in this nonstop, but for people that are lower information, it's a littleit's just a tad too esoteric and doesn't really viscerally hit you in the solar plexus. Nigel campaign, which he had to finance himself, was absolutely dead spot on. It just talked about migration and what was happening to British culture and society. What we call what we're being accused of now of cultural nationalism in the United Kingdom and in Ireland. And guess what? They won Brexit. My team was there. We were there. Breitbart. We set up Breitbart London under Rahim Kassam. And Rahim actually stepped out and worked on Nigel on the campaign. But Alex Marlowe, the entire team, and Nigel said the day after that, if it hadn't been for the establishment of Breitbart London and Breitbart's support, Brexit would have never happened. Because the Daily Telegraph and all these wuss organizations, conservative media were, you know, they're kind of globalist, right? They were, remain. They weren't, you know, Brexit. What happened down in Texas with Glenn Story and the team on his political side is monumental. Of course, Lee Wambsgans, who we spent a lot of time with the last couple years now in a, you know, in a tough state Senate race and that foreign money is coming to get her. And my warning to Texas, which is the railhead of the MAGA movement, and I can make the argument the most important of all the states, California, Florida and all these great states and powerful states and states are part of the, you know, stand on their own in the global economy. Texas first among equals, let's say Texas is that important. I can tell you, going throughout the world, Texas has got a brand because of the frontier and the pioneers in the Old west and no other nation on earth has that, where the little guy actually went out into a wilderness and created something that has been the most powerful entity in mankind's history, that has allowed the little guy to flourish more. No matter how imperfect this is, it's flourished more than anywhere on Earth. And if you see the point of contact between civilization and, let's say non civilization or non Western civilizations may be a better way to say it is in Texas. And you can go anywhere in the world and people just not know about Texas. They know about the myths and the legends and the. And what happened and who did it, either through movies or books or just, you know, reading. That's how powerful the culture is. This is why they're targeting Texas. Think about it. They're targeting two places right now. New York City, the financial capital of the world. And really, even for those of you who maybe not New York City fans I'm one, I've lived there on and off for decades. And it's just a magnificent place. It's really a collection of little neighborhoods and villages. It's not this, when you're there and you're living there, it's not this overwhelming entity. Everything's very local, your grocer, the dry cleaners, everything. It's very neighborhood by neighborhood, a collection of neighborhoods. The Marxist jihadists know this and they're going after it and just to pull out yesterday, you know, the overwhelming majority of foreign born, you know, all these migration laws you've had, all these amnesty laws you've had, all these immigration laws you had, are turning against the United States, as I've warned, turning against American citizens, many of whose families have been here for decade and decade and decade and decade and decade and still don't own anything with the Marxist jihadists look like they're going to take New York City for everybody out there wearing a bow tie says, well no, they're socialists, they're running money. It doesn't work like that. These are Bolsheviks. These are not. Stop, they're not socialist. It's not some debating society. Well, maybe we should have more government control of this or a little more government control. That's not what this is about. These are hardcore Marxist jihadists and Siddiq Khan is the model. And talk about, there's a, you know, there's articles every day about how difficult it is Western civilization to actually thrive or even survive in London. He's turned London into a hellscape. That's what's going to happen in New York City. But at the same time, they are rolling hard for the great state of Texas. This one company down there has just gone out of their way on their, on their public engagement side to help defend that. Now I tell people on top of that, they happen to be a premium service and run by Americans. With the call center staffed by Americans, Scott Coburn joins us. Scott, we don't talk enough about how great Patriot Mobile is as a, as a business entity in the services they deliver. So take it away, sir.

[H]

Yeah, Steve, you hit the nail on the head. Like here in Texas, we've absolutely got a battle on our hands like we're fighting to keep Texas, Texas, we're very proud of our state. And they're coming at us with guns blazing. You know this. And here's the deal, right? I mean people that don't live here, they, they have this misconception that Texas is this deep red state and everything's all Fine and dandy. Well, let me tell you, we live here and it's not. And we live in Tarrant county, okay? Tarrant county just happens to be the largest red remaining county in America. It's larger than 15 states. If we lose Tarrant county, we lose Texas, and likely we don't have another Republican president ever.

[D]

It's.

[H]

It's a. It would be a disaster. So you mentioned Lee Wambsgans. I want to encourage everyone that lives in Tarrant county to get out and vote. We have a special election going on right now. Early voting started on Monday. And Lee's a fighter. Steve, you've known Lee for years now. She's a fighter. She doesn't back down. She speaks truth. She loves the Lord, and she's our candidate. And this is what we need to do. We've got to get people off the couch and out to vote because you mentioned there are some candidates that are well funded by Chinese money and other money outside of Texas, and we don't want that. We need to keep this here at home. We need to keep this fight at home and stop the mockery that these Rhino Republicans have made out of our state. And it starts right now. Steve.

[D]

Scott, I'm gonna hold you to the break real quickly. This audience saw this in the redistricting fight. There are eight seats out there that can be fairly redistricted. I mean, if you want to be fair, it's eight seats. Brian Harrison had to come on with the meeting we had at Patriot Mobile on your political side, and we had to go scorched earth to get five. And then the establishment who fought us all the way, trying to take credit with it in the national media. Give me 30 seconds of that before I bolt.

[H]

Steve, you know, it's. It's a fight, right? And we're in it together. And the events of the last few weeks have only told us one thing. We're just now getting started. We're in the bottom of the first inning. Our pitchers just getting warmed up, and we're about ready to bring the heat, baby.

[D]

Scott, hang on. Scott's with us. He's going to stop. Stay over Patriot Mobile, one of the great companies out there. Gold is. It's turbulence in the gold market. Find out why. Text ban and B a N N Owen at 989-898. Get your ultimate guide of investing in gold and precious metals from Birch Gold.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff.

[D]

Okay, a lot going on with Russia. I'm gonna get to Rome and Ben Harnwell in a moment. Scott, the benefits of doing the switch now to Patriot Mobile, sir.

[H]

Well, Steve, I'll start with the technical benefits. Hey, you're going to get coverage on all three of the main networks, right? So you never have to worry about whether or not your phone's going to work. Why settle for one network when you can have all three? Okay, and you talk about the US Based customer support. Hey, I don't know when the last time you tried calling your current cell phone service provider, but I'm sure that didn't work out too well. For when you call Patriot Mobile, you're going to be talking to somebody in English, maybe a little East Texas hillbilly accent. That might be all you get, but you're going to be talking to somebody in English. And look, here's the big reason, guys. I mean it's. This is on all of us, right? We have to do everything we can to save our republic. I don't care if it's where you buy your coffee, who you choose to bank with or even who you choose to be your cell phone service provider. It all matters. Every dollar you spend matters. That's the kind of war that we're in here. So why wouldn't you take 15 minutes, switch your cell phone to Patriot Mobile and know that every time you paid your bill, a part of that bill is going to support companies like TP usa, Folds of Honor and many other organizations that are on the front lines fighting for our freedoms. That's what it's really all about.

[D]

Scott, how do people track you? You guys are putting up great information about Patriot Mobile all the time. Where do people go to find out more? Where they go to talk to one of those folks with a beautiful, soothing East Texas hillbilly accent that are at your call centers.

[H]

It's real easy. It's easy to remember too. Steve. 972 Patriot. That's 972 Patriot or you go to patriotmobile.com Bannon and you're going to get a free month of service. When you mentioned you heard about us on Bannon's War Room Posse and that's why we want you, we want every single one of you out there to consider switching to Patriot Mobile. The time is now. It's never been more important to support this country and everything that we got going on simply by switching your cell phone service. Get her done today. Let's go.

[D]

Scott Coburn, thank you so much. Thank the folks.

[H]

Thank you, Steve. God bless.

[D]

972 thank you, sir. 972 Patriot. Stop giving your money to companies that hate you. This layers on top of all three of the major mobile providers. You will love the service. You'll love the deals. 972 Patriot make sure you talk to one of those East Texas folks. As good of folks as anywhere on earth on this planet. Earth. The backbone of our nation. Talk to them today. You talk to a US citizen and make the switch. Check it out. Patriot Mobile. And I gotta tell you, the work they're doing out of Texas. Unbelievable. Texas. We gotta fight. Texas is a. It's a. It's a state that's in play even with all the great patriots down there. It's a battleground state. It's about. Even though we won by 14, cruise by 12 they're all over it and some very shady things going on down there that we're getting back on, making sure you can all of it exposed and the people that are doing it exposed because it's not right for, for a state that is a state that is a legend. Ben Harnwell from Rome. Ben. So President Trump and he's very upfront yesterday in the bilatin, I think again this morning he's tried to, you know, he says he has conversations with Putin, he thinks things are going in the correct direction, it's just not in Alaska. But he has these phone conversations, things is going the right direction and then nothing happens. Lavrov kind of blew off Marco, Secretary of State Rubio. So we're not going to Hungary to sit down and set things right here with Putin and President Trump in a room with Orban to try to figure this thing out. It's actually heated up much more. We got some pretty serious sanctions. Medved has said, hey, these are acts of war. But you actually think something has happened, transpired over the last 24 hours that's even more serious than that. The floor is yours, Ben Harnwell from Rome.

[I]

Hey Steve. Well, let's pick up from what you were just saying in your question. The statement from Dmitry Medvedev is that what President Trump, both with the sanctions on the oil but also the canceling of the, of the, of the bilateral in Hungary, which actually cancelled by Russia, not, not President Trump, he said that there's a declaration of war. Now Medvedev is probably one of the most hard line of the key Russian political players, that is absolutely for sure. And he makes President Putin in, in comparison look quite like a moderate and he represents that hardline nationalist sentiment politically. But he's incredibly trusted by President Putin. How trusted by President Putin is he? Well, when Putin for constitutional reasons was required to stand down from the presidency a few years ago and assume exactly the same real powers as prime minister, he handed over the notional office of the presidency to Medvedev himself. So he's definitely on the hard right flank. And that's what he said. He said that President Trump has departed from his talk about wanting to be a peacekeeper and he's made an open declaration of war and that Russia now has the pretext to respond to that accordingly. I know that the US Press is leading on the sanctions and to some extent on Medvedev's comments. I don't think that's the big issue, Steve. I think the big story really on Ukraine over the last 24 hours is the fact that President Trump has authorized the use by Zelensky of long range missiles into Russia. They were used yesterday to attack the military plant in Bryansk. Now Trump has said no, POTUS has said no to supplying the Tomahawks and the actual missiles used on this occasion and yesterday were the Shadow Storm missiles provided by the UK but they were, the targeting was provided by US Intelligence and with President Trump's permission. So I think that's the thing that people need to be watching for right now rather than, I don't want to dismiss what Medvedev has said as simply being rhetoric because as I say, he said he's certainly one of President Putin's most trusted political collaborators. But I actually think that the issue here, and it's not towards disengagement, Steve, it's not towards de escalation. I actually think that the real attention here ought to be on the fact that President Trump, because this is like a Rubicon that you pass, right? Once you cross this, you've crossed it. President Trump has authorized the use of long distance weapons, British made, British provided, but with US Intelligence to attack a weapons munitions point, as I say, in Bryansk in the last 24 hours. That is something I think a precedent that America will be building on. Though I'm 1000% against that and it does give, I think Russia the room should it want to respond.

[D]

I just want to make sure we point the audience. Where's this being reported? You're pulling this from? You're absolutely correct. I just want to make sure we can get people because in the escalatory ladder, President Trump went out of his way last week to tell them no Tomahawks and essentially we are not going to give you permission of any long range attacks even with European or other weaponry. And we certainly won't help. You know, coming out of V spot and in other places with target acquisition. That's clearly changed as President Trump's getting frustrated. He's trying to look, he's trying to look for leverage points to get a deal. But you're right, this has gone up the escalatory ladder or as you said, crossed the Rubicon. Where is this being reported?

[I]

Well, if Denver would very kindly I sent through just before coming on the show that my main source for today's reportage. Thanks very much, Denver. This is in the Wall Street Journal, which is, which is a credible newspaper. I don't trust everything the Journal says in terms of his interpretation, but normally it's pinpoint. Facts are quite accurate and I make the same point about the New York Times and the Washington Post as well. I trust their facts when they report them as facts. Their interpretation often I wouldn't trust with a barge poll. But on this issue, Steve, I trust their interpretation on this story. Denver, thanks very much for putting that up on the screen. As I'm talking. That's the source that people might want to look at. But as you say, Steve, the point now you're actually right. This isn't being widely reported that the US Press is focusing really on the sanctions on the oil right now. And I think that's, I think that's somewhat the wrong thing to be concentrating on.

[D]

Ben Hartwell in Rome, kind of blockbuster news this morning. Thank you. Where do people go and get your, your BDI citizen 24 hours a day.

[I]

Steve My beady eyed cynicism never switches off. I'm like a reptile. I don't even blink when it comes to my eyes. It's just pure focused. It's pure focus. 100 Autism 100 BD Cynicism 24. 7 Folks, if you want this, come on to my social media platform of choice, which is Getter. It's the best social media platform out there as far as I'm concerned. No malicious algorithms, divert with diversions. It's just pure content and I'm there. Simply type in my surname which is Harnwell and I'll probably be updating in the next couple of hours on this story. Thanks very much, Steve. God bless.

[D]

Thank you brother Ben Harnwell, the Atlantic magazine has a huge story on Jack Posobic. They say he is the most powerful influencers and influencer and all maga. We're trying to get Jack up. Maybe we get him up for the last block or try to get up as soon as possible. Another piece that I need to focus on and if Grace and Mo would be kind enough to go in my getter and maybe my crack production team here. I didn't break it out but it's one of the last pieces I put up. It's from Politico. It talks about really what we addressed yesterday and that would be what's this guy Isaacman as head of, as head of NASA. It's real basic. President Trump announced today, the administration announced today something I fully support which is taking stakes in companies where the government is giving tons of contracts. We have 10% of intel. He's talking now about quantum computing which are these companies are just going to blow up on the stock market because as we told you, quantum computing is when the converging technologies for the singularity in quantum computing is. This is where we may actually be behind the Chinese Communist Party and what they're doing in China. So it's a lot of catch up to do. President Trump's talking about, you know, granting these companies these huge government contracts and for such. He wants, you know, he wants to get his beak wet for the country. The same thing should happen to SpaceX. We have a very dangerous situation with SpaceX. 97%, I think, of our launches. Our launch capacity is done by SpaceX. You can't concentrate on all that power in one person's hands. Remember Elon, when he had the falling out with President Trump a couple months ago, sent a tweet, well, maybe we just delay launch or something like that. And that was a, it was an 11 year old boy throwing his toys out of the pram. But that's elon. He's an 11 year old boy and he's going to throw his toys out of the pram on occasion. You can't be hostage to that. There's two ways to do that. Number one, you have to spread out the contracts. It just makes sense. You have to let some of these other competitors get some of the contracts. Obviously you got to be competitive and be able to perform it. Number two, you can't put his bestie, you can't put his buddy in NASA who deals out the contracts. Isaacman is a left wing, progressive, radical Democrat, full stop. All these oligarchs are all Democrats. They're all progressives. They hate the culture that you're fighting to save. They detest it. Right? They're all transhumanists. They all want to live forever. They all, they don't care about the basic underlying principles of the Judeo Christian West. They just don't. They came on board for one reason, because Trump won. Isaac Min was a Kamala Harris and a big Democrat. And the only reason he's groveling around the White House is that we're in power full stop. And as soon as President Trump's defeated or Mag is defeated, they'll be back over there where their natural home is. And that's why the guy should not get a senior position in the administration. Anybody in the administration pushing that against Sean Duffy's heroic fight is going to be outed and I'm going to out him, okay? We're tired of this crap and that's what it is. Last but not least, President Trump's master dealmaker. I know he's thinking about this 50% of SpaceX 50%. We need to do more than wet the beak. We need to get a piece of the action. Short break back in the warm in.

War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[D]

Okay, day day at 3 o' clock and Real America's Voice will cover it all live. President Trump in the State Dining Room is going to have the White House press pool open for the entire time. You're going to have announcements on drug cartels, human trafficking, Stephen Miller, Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Blanche, Secretary of War Hegseth, Director of the FBI Patel and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. That is what we refer to as the starting team. Don't miss. It's going to start 3 o'. Clock. Knowing the White House may start a few minutes later. We'll cover it wall to wall. Then it's back at. It's in the 6 o' clock hour tonight I'm gonna have Dave Bossi on his theory. There's absolutely nothing to give on the shutdown. Let's just keep rolling. Which I agree with 1000%. Go to Idaho, Maine, all of it to cover breaking news there particular situation in Idaho about the cutteries in the base and all that. We're going to find out what folks out in Idaho think about that. Jack Bosobic, by the way. So Charlie Kirk at new the Charlie Kirk show at noon, poso at 2, gruber at 3. Which you may or may just cut to the White house Bolling at 4. Back to the war room 5pm Eastern Daylight Time. Jack Posobic, the Atlantic magazine, which is no fan of Jack Posobics, it's got a lead story that Jack Bosovic, if we can put that up on the screen. Jack Bosovic is the most powerful and important of the MAGA influencers. What say you, sir?

[E]

Well, Steve, I didn't write this article. I didn't write this headline. You know, I. Look, look, the Atlantic magazine.

[D]

Okay, okay, okay. Hang on, hang on, hang on. I would argue hold a hand. Quit stumbling around. I trained you better. Is it true or not? Are you the most powerful of the MAGA influencers, sir?

[E]

No, I'm not. I'm not. I'll tell you why. Because it's Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk is the number one MAGA influencer and he still is. Because Charlie Kirk's videos, Charlie Kirk's words and Charlie Kirk's message has been shared more times and I'm talking frequency and velocity over the past six weeks than they ever have before and will continue to do so. It's Charlie Kirk.

[D]

Charlie Kirk was a Uniter. Charlie Kirk did something and that's why they assassinated him. Charlie Kirk was the cutting edge of the future of obviously the President. But Charlie Kirk was showing you the nation we could have by reason, debate and humility and live Christianity. That's why Charlie Kirk is a Christian martyr and I believe Charlie Kirk is by being a Christian martyr. Charlie Kirk is a saint. Yes, we said it. Jack Posobec. You're different. You're never. Look, I said when Andrew Breitbart died. You cannot replace Andrew Breitbart. You're never going to be able to replace Charlie Kirk just can't happen. A guy like that comes along once a generation, maybe, and there are many generations, nobody like Breitbart or Kirk come along. And of course, in our nation's history, Trump comes along once in a country's history. That being said, why did they single you out? Because the Atlantic normally hates you. All your work with Antifa, everything in the field, all the danger you've put yourself in. Why would. Why would Atlantic, who really detests the very person of Jack Bosovic, do this article or actually even think of this? Sir?

[E]

Well, Steve, was I doing action with Antifa or was I goofing off? Because I saw a quote from Stephen K. Bannon that said Posobic was goofing off in 2020. And by the way, I remember what that was. They said, Bannon chewed him out. I said, yeah, I remember. That was the day. The day after we square off with Antifa at Lincoln park up there on Capitol Hill. I get. There was two people, you know, everybody asked if I was okay, except for two people. One of them was Tanya Tay, because she was losing her mind on me. And the other one was Stephen K. Bannon, who said. Who was like, paso big, what are you doing?

[D]

No, but Tanya taste right, by the way. Noted self. You should. I've told you this lesson. Tanya Tay's right.

[E]

She was pregnant. She was pregnant at the time with. With our second son. And. And I came home and said I wasn't. They said, were you worried? I was like, I wasn't worried about Antifa. I was worried about the pregnant Belarusian at home that I had to deal with. So I stopped. This is what my move was that day. I remember it very vividly. I call her up, I say. I say, sweetheart, I'll be home as soon as I'm done filling out the police report.

[D]

And then.

[E]

Which is always a good way to start a conversation. And then before I made it home, though, what I did is I stepped. I stopped off the highway and I picked up. I picked up flowers and I picked up chocolate. And then when I come in the house, I'm. I'm holding that like a. Like a shield and a sword, you know, to water off. And, fellas, she totally worked. It totally worked.

[D]

I gotta check with her. I'm not buying that. Okay, I gotta. We gotta bounce. We gotta sell some pillows here. I gotta spend some more time with you. Because the left's losing. The mainstream media is losing their mind about President Trump's crackdown on Antifa and actually rolling this thing. Up and getting to our report from Maine is how this guy running for.

[E]

The Senate is actually tuned. Just stay tuned. Turning Point usa just antifa in two cells, Seattle and Oakland. We've got that full report. By the way, I'm going to be co hosting today with Andrew Colvette on the Charlie Kirk show. So I'll be up. I'll be up talking about that story. Many more.

[D]

We'll toss it to you in a few minutes. Jack Bosovic going to be with Andrew riding shotgun.
