Episode Overview

This episode of The War Room is anchored around explosive debates about Donald Trump’s ambitions for a possible third term, the legal and constitutional showdown with the 22nd Amendment, deep electoral analysis, and urgent warnings about both domestic and international threats to American democracy and security. The conversation ropes in constitutional law, live campaign battlegrounds in Texas, the impact of midterm indicators, and a recurring charge to the MAGA base: stand and fight.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Trump’s Alleged Third-Term Ambitions and the Constitution

• The episode opens with discussion of Judge Michael Luttig’s dire warning that the Founders anticipated a demagogue refusing to relinquish power, referencing Donald Trump. (00:35)
• Steve Bannon claims Trump should be accommodated as president in 2028, suggesting plans to challenge the 22nd Amendment (“You can drive a Mack truck through the 22nd Amendment.” – Bannon, 17:00).
• Trump himself gives cagey answers: on whether he would pursue a third term, he says, “I would love to do it… Am I ruling it out? You’ll have to tell me.” (01:59)

“He’s going to get a third term. So Trump 28. Trump is going to be president 28. And people just ought to get accommodated with that… There’s a plan.”
— Stephen K. Bannon (01:43)

“I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever… Am I not ruling it out? You’ll have to tell me.”
— Donald Trump (01:59)

• The Atlantic’s article about Trump’s third-term ambitions is contextualized; the author notes the piece ran the same day Trump, on Air Force One, appeared to back down—publicly stating the 22nd Amendment prohibits him from running again. But skepticism remains. (03:06)
• The podcast returns multiple times to whether Trump’s statements are sincere, or if he’s biding his time while rallying his base with the prospect of a constitutional challenge.

2. Democrats, Down-Ballot Races & Trump’s Political Impact

• CNN analyst segments observe Trump is deeply unpopular in key states (e.g., -11 points in New Jersey, -14 in Virginia, -35 in New York), dragging down Republicans across the board (11:28).
• Historical precedent is discussed: when Democrats sweep New Jersey, Virginia, and NYC in off-years, they tend to win the House in the next election (12:08).
• Bannon counters that Trump’s low engagement in these contested races is blamed for possible GOP losses, urging massive game-day turnout and arguing the MAGA base is crucial.

“Nobody solved the part of the equation of can you get folks out, particularly lower propensity voters that only come out for President Trump. He is one of the greatest assets in political history…”
— Stephen K. Bannon (14:23)

3. Redistricting and Internal Political Battles

• The episode delves into redistricting as a pivotal battlefield, with Bannon arguing Democrats are set to “steal” seats in California and elsewhere, partly due to insufficient Trump engagement.
• Bannon frames the stakes in existential terms: “It’s one fight between the forces of light (us) and the forces of darkness (them)… This is a revolution.” (39:01)

4. Border Security & the Texas Campaign

• Lee Wambsganss (Sarah) highlights her campaign for Texas’s Senate District 9, touting endorsements, opposition funding from out-of-state sources, and the border crisis:
  • Claims of cartel-created industrial human trafficking in Texas.
  • Calls for state-level action regardless of federal response.
  • Emphasis on MAGA grassroots mobilization for election day. (24:26–31:50)
• Accusations of Chinese money influencing Texas electoral opponents are also made. (26:26)

5. Islamism, Immigration, and U.S. Security

• Mark Lucas (veteran, Article 3 Project) argues the threat of “radical Islamism” is being imported to American cities, including allegations of criminal activity connected to new migrants.
• Blistering critique of the left and establishment Republicans for ignoring or enabling these disruptions.
• Calls for efforts to “denaturalize” and deport political figures (specifically Zoran Mamdani in NYC) on allegations of fraud and extremist ties.

“We’re not involved in a political election. We’re involved in a war… The left tried to assassinate President Trump on live TV… We need to play for keeps. This is Western civilization that’s at stake.”
— Mark Lucas (46:02)

• Detailed anecdotes from Lucas’s military service to underscore the perceived threat.

6. Mobilization & ‘Stand and Fight’ Message

• The MAGA audience is charged throughout to stop conceding ground, whether in New York, Texas, or in the national party, and mocked for “running to Miami” instead of fighting entrenched leftist and establishment forces.

“Is this what it’s going to be? We’re just going to turn it over? We’re going to let it become London? …How about stand and fight? How about believe in something?”
— Stephen K. Bannon (17:04)

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Judge Luttig (reading): "The founders of our nation foresaw a figure like Trump, a demagogue who would ascend to the presidency and refuse to relinquish power..." (00:35)
• President Trump: “All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people, which they don’t. They have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person.” (01:59)
• Steve Bannon: “You can drive a Mack truck through the 22nd Amendment. So suck on that.” (17:00)
• Atlantic Article Author: “He has amassed near absolute unchecked power… that would enable him to run for election, be defeated…and nonetheless be the next President of the United States.” (09:52)
• Mark Lucas: “We’re not involved in a political election. We’re involved in a war…” (46:02)
• Lee Wambsganss: “Texas can afford to protect Texans at our border, and we’ve got to have those guys’ back… We have just under 700,000 registered voters in this district… and I’m asking for your vote for Lee Wambsganss.” (24:26; 30:53)

Thematic & Editorial Highlights

Original Tone & Energy

• Bannon’s characteristic martial rhetoric is on full display: “It’s not a debate… They’re interested in power and control… We’re a nation that’s built on stand and deliver.”
• The panel oscillates between alarm, derision (toward establishment GOP, media, and Democrats), and urgency for action.

Partisan Framing

• Democrats are painted as “Marxists,” “Bolsheviks,” and as attempting to instigate illegality through redistricting, open borders, and attacks on Trump.
• Warnings about ignoring constitutional abuses, with the recurring analogy to European “collapse” due to lack of resolve against supposed threats.

---

Conclusion

This episode weaves constitutional anxiety, hard-edged campaign strategy, and provocative warnings about America’s political and demographic future. For listeners, the message is unmistakable: the fight is existential, the stakes are ultimate, and the MAGA coalition is called to action—against Democrats, establishment Republicans, and perceived threats from both within and without.

[Judge Ludig]

The founders of our nation foresaw a figure like Trump, a demagogue who would ascend to the presidency and refuse to relinquish power to a successor chosen by the American people in a free and fair election. Thomas Jefferson warned that such an incumbent, if narrowly defeated, would pretend false votes, foul play, hold possession of the reins of government. Were that moment ever to come, the founders believed it would mark the demise of the nations, the nation that they had conceived, bringing to a calamitous end the greatest experiment in self government ever attempted by man. End quote. As Judge Ludig notes in the same piece, the federal judiciary is under extraordinary pressure. It is now confronting a president who's actively trying to amass the powers of a king, who's given Americans ample reason to believe that he intends to defy the Constitution's two term limitations. Those Trump 2028 hats scattered around the Oval Office, they're not a joke. They're part of an effort to normalize something that is unequivocally illegal and unconstitutional.

[Atlantic Article Author]

Watch this.

[Donald Trump]

And then after that, we'll go for another four years, because you know what? They spy to my campaign. We should get a redo.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

He's going to get a third term. So Trump 28. Trump is going to be president 28. And people just ought to get accommodated with that. So what about the 22nd Amendment? There's many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we'll lay out what the plan is. But there's a plan. And President Trump will be the president in 28.

[Donald Trump]

I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever. It's very terrible. I have my best numbers. If you read it. Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me. All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people, which they don't. They have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person.

[Podcast Host/Commentator]

We Americans are by good nature, are by nature good people who believe in the inherent goodness of others, especially those we elect to represent us in the highest office in the land. But we ignore such statements and other expressions of Trump's intent at our peril. The 47th President is a vain man, and nothing would flatter his vanity more than seizing another term. Doing so would signify the ultimate triumph over his political enemies. Now, my presumption is that you wrote this article prior to Trump going on Air Force One and saying, telling reporters that he was not going to run for a third term, that he didn't think it was constitutionally viable, and that voters wouldn't be happy with him. Do you think we should take his word for that? Or do you think he's going to ultimately listen to advisers like Steve Bannon who say that there are plans in the works to allow him to run again?

[Atlantic Article Author]

Jackie, I wrote the Atlantic article several weeks ago, and it was actually scheduled to run, I think, on November 3rd. And the Atlantic pushed that data up in response to the president's comment. First that he would love to be president for a third term, and Steve Bannon's comments that Donald Trump was. Is gonna be the next president succeeding himself. And then that's to say that the article ran at 7am the morning that the president, by the end of the day from Air Force One on his way to Korea, had seemed to back away, saying that from what he reads, the 22nd Amendment prohibits him from running again. Now, the question, of course, is will he, notwithstanding that, run again? There's no reason, and he has given the American people no reason to believe that he will not run again and. And be the next president of the United States by whatever means is nest are necessary.

[Sarah]

There's a pattern to these names. They're all public figures who have publicly denounced you. Is it political retribution?

[Donald Trump]

You know who got indicted? The man you're looking at. I got indicted. And I was innocent. And here I am because I was able to beat all of the nonsense that was thrown at me. And yet, when you go after a dirty cop like Comey or a guy like Bolton, who I hear has. I don't know anything about it, I hear he took records all over the place. Who knows? Letitia James is a terrible, dishonest person, in my opinion.

[Sarah]

No, I was just asking.

[Donald Trump]

Comey's a dirty look. Comey's known as a dirty cup. I'm not known as a dirty person. They indicted me many times. Indicted me. They were after me. I'm looking at you now, President of the United States. I went through numerous indictments and two impeachments. And you Tell me that. I went after people. These people are dishonest. Look, Biden didn't have a clue. He illegally used, as you know, a machine, the auto pen, in order to give pardons to people. The only pardon he signed, it looks like, was his son, Hunter. He signed Hunter. So, Hunter, you're free. Congratulations, Hunter. But everyone else, I think those pardons are all just. Were just a waste of time.

[Sarah]

Did you instruct the Department of Justice to go after him?

[Donald Trump]

No. Not in any way, shape or form, no. You don't have to instruct them because they were so dirty, they were so crooked, they were so corrupt that the honest people we have, Pam Bondi, is doing a very good job. Kash Patel's doing a very good job. The honest people that we have go after him automatically, but they instructed them to go after me because the records now have been found. So when you tell me about. I went after Comey. Comey is low in the totem pole. They went after the President of the United States. Do you know that they raided my house in Palm Beach, Florida, called Mar A Lago? They raided my house. I had 78 or 98 FBI agents with arms. I know how you come into my house. And you're telling me, Nora, that I went after some lowlife named Comey who's adjudged to be a crooked guy. He lied all over the place. He lied to Congress and did many other bad things.

[Sarah]

I was just asking for that.

[Donald Trump]

You should be ashamed.

[Atlantic Article Author]

What the American people have to understand is that the foundation, the pillars of our nation, as set forth by our founding fathers and the architects of our Constitution, are under assault today. It is a paramount obligation of the federal judges of the United States, all of them, including the Supreme Court, to condemn what's happening in America today. It's not political at all to do so. That's what Donald Trump wants people to believe. Nothing about what's going on today and that we're talking about is politics at all. Ali, this is, as you say, truth, and it is about the law and the Constitution of the United States. Donald Trump has successfully convinced many, many millions of American people that it's all politics. It is not politics. None of it is politics. Ali Velshi. And the American people must understand that.

[Sarah]

You're not going to try and run.

[Podcast Host/Commentator]

For a third term.

[Donald Trump]

Well, I don't even think about it. I will tell you, a lot of people want me to run.

[Judge Ludig]

All this talk about a third term. Clearly, the 22nd Amendment is a pretty clear amendment. That said, do you take it seriously when. When Bannon and those folks talk about the fact that Donald Trump will be the president in after the elections of 2028.

[Atlantic Article Author]

Well, Ali, as you know, up until the day that the Atlantic released my article, there had never been any suggestion, to my knowledge, by either the President or Mr. Bannon, that the 22nd Amendment limited the President to the two terms or to the two elections to the office of President that he's been elected to. It was only within 12 or 15 hours after my article ran at 7am that day that the President, United States, on his way to Korea and aboard Air Force One, lamented the his what he reads that the 22nd Amendment prevents him from running for election again. Do I think that that would stop him? No, not at all. As between the President, United States and Steve Bannon on this issue, I would believe Steve. Steve Bannon in an instant. Steve Bannon knows, as does the President, that the Constitution prevents him from running again. But they've known that all along.

[Judge Ludig]

Yeah.

[Atlantic Article Author]

And all along, for eight months, they've been hinting that the President would run for election again. So I believe today that there's a likelihood that Donald Trump will run for election for the president again. And as I say in the Atlantic article, he has amassed near absolute unchecked power in the United States, power that would enable him to run for election, be defeated for the presidency.

[Mark Lucas]

Right.

[Atlantic Article Author]

And nonetheless be the next President of the United States of America.

[CNN Political Analyst]

I mean, the common denominator here is Donald Trump, and Democrats are on the precipice of delivering a huge blow to Donald Trump in his second term. What are we talking about here? Well, why don't we just look, Democrats lead all the key races. You go to New Jersey, Governor. That's really the only close one. Mikey Sherrill, the Democrat, up by six points. Abigail Spamberger in Virginia, up by talents. Aram Mandani, up by 16 points in New York City. The bottom line is this. Yes, there are ideological differences between the Democrats, but the key common component is they are all going after Donald Trump and all the Democrats lead from New Jersey to Virginia to New York City. They all lead. The Republican and Independent opponents, how much.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Is he impacting the cases? Never mind that they want to beat him. In their minds, it's sort of like.

[iHeart Radio Announcer]

Hey, this is to show you that.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

We can beat you.

[iHeart Radio Announcer]

But.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

But how much is he affecting?

[CNN Political Analyst]

I mean, look, Donald Trump is a huge drag in all of these races. Look at his net popularity ratings in New Jersey. He's 11 points underwater. Virginia 14 points underwater. Not much of a big surprise. In New York, he's 35 points underwater. And I will note nationally in my aggregate polls, he's about 13 points underwater. In our CNN poll, he's way below that, which looks a lot like New Jersey, a lot like Virginia. So these races in my mind could be huge bellwethers going into next year to understanding how Donald Trump is impacting these races. And he is a huge, huge drag. And across the board, New Jersey, Virginia and New York City, these races tell.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Us anything about the midterm as to what happens here and what might happen in the midterm.

[CNN Political Analyst]

Yeah. Okay. So you know, I was mentioning, of course, Donald Trump being a huge drag. Right. He's at his second term lows, not just in our CNN poll, but across the different polls that we were looking at this weekend. And why is it that these races are so important? We'll go back through history gut jumping at the Lorraine. Look at what has happened when Democrats sweep New York City, New Jersey and Virginia. Governor, they won the U.S. house the next year five out of five times in the last 90 years. You go all the way back to the FDR administration. So the bottom line is this. When Democrats do well in these off year elections, when they sweep New Jersey, Virginia and New York City, historically speaking, that means they go on to win the US House of Representatives the next time around. And when we're in this national polarized environment and Donald Trump is as unpopular as he is, I think that history is likely to hold if in fact Democrats do sweep tomorrow, which at this point looks more likely than not, we.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Will have to see. We also have some new polling numbers also that makes Democrats not look so good. So it's kind of like wondering whether this historic norm will stay as per usual.

[CNN Political Analyst]

And that, my friend, is why we go 365 years to find out what happens next year.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Monday, the 3rd of November in the year of our Lord 2025 was the 5th anniversary of the Stone election. Lead story in the Trump revived scrutiny of 2020. Lead story in the Washington Post, which is the paper of record supposed to be for politics in this country. You see right there the narrative they're building? There's only one thing they're not mentioning. President Trump was never engaged in any of these contests. Oh, they forgot to add the launch of Newsom's 2028 campaign in California with what looks to be a blowout win on the one of the most important, the redistricting wars, where they're going to pick up Five seats illegally. They're going to turn tomorrow night into a thumping of President Trump. If President Trump, if they had, if the campaigns in Jersey, which still could be won by the way, both of them be won. If you have massive, and I mean massive game day turnout. Massive game day turnout. If they don't win by huge spreads and I mean in the number of, you know, 175,000 200,000 votes plus, which is a huge, huge ask, then you're going to have a sweep. And President Trump was not engaged. I know he's doing a tele town hall I think tonight in New Jersey and in, in the Commonwealth. But that's not like having Trump intimately involved. Remember President Trump because of the Maga turnout in 211 for Youngkin, who's been a total and complete disaster since then, abandoned everything on the parents move. You still got boys and girls bath. The whole thing's a disaster because he's spending all his time in Iowa running for 28, which I think will be put to bed tomorrow night after they lose across the board in Virginia. This is about President Trump. Nobody solved the part of the equation of can you get folks out, particularly lower propensity voters that only come out for President Trump. He is one of the greatest assets in political history. In political history and essentially unused short commercial break. Back in the warm in just a moment.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Of the new thing. Monday the 3rd of November, in the year of Lord 2025. Lead story, Washington Post. Trump revived scrutiny of 2020. The redistricting fight. What's going to happen tomorrow night? The 2020? It's all the victory in California looks like because you've had basically Schwarzenegger and these guys throwing the towel. McCarthy that did not want Trump to be involved. It's all inextricably linked as part of a process history and the movement of humanity is a process. There's no endpoint. The only endpoint is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Alpha and the omega. Other than that, it's process and critical path. That's why tomorrow, what happens in Texas is inextricably linked, hardwired to what's happening in the streets of Manhattan. Particularly when you talk about not just Marxist and jihadist, but also. Honestly, our biggest problem is establishment Republicans who don't want to get in the fight because it's too, it's too tough. And at the end, they're going to whine about it. What you're seeing in New York City right now, oh, this is terrible. In the New York Post, got 100 articles. We're all moving out of here. We're going to take our toys out of the pram. Why don't you fight for your city? Why don't you fight for your birthright? Today it's all. They're going to all move to Miami. Is this what's going to happen when you're confronted? Just going to move around? Is that, Is that it? How about stand and fight? How about believe in something? Don't sit there and just whine all the time and then you're going to leave? Is this what it's going to be? We're just going to turn it over? We're going to let it become London? This is the problem. In Europe, they didn't stand and fight when they had the chance to stay in a fight. Now they look like they're overwhelmed. In Paris and London, you have to stand and fight. And it's not. It's not. It's not. This is not a garden party. Look at their tactics. You Damn right. It's Trump 28. You damn right. You know what? It Puts the fear of God in them. And I want to quote for all the media watching this this morning, like you watch every morning, one of the top constitutional lawyers in this country as he works through this, his quote to me is Bannon, quote, you can drive a Mack truck through the 22nd amendment, end quote. So suck on that. Tomorrow you're going to get an example. When you don't get Trump engaged in a fight and he's a fighter, you're going to get smoked. They don't want what this reduction fight. Degrasse will come on here and tell you not this morning. Maybe we'll get this afternoon. We were on a roll in the redistricting fight, just like in 21 when we flip what, eight seats? The reason we have control of the House is the redistricting fights in 21 and 22. These victories. This is why we went all in in Texas and we had 21 gross amount. And that does not count the Supreme Court DEI gerrymandering. I'm just talking about good old fashioned, let's do logical, fair. Redistricting was 21 gross. And then you had to net out. Now I'll be brutally frank. They're on a roll Virginia this election. They already got the House there. Spamberg is going to go 10 1. So suck on that. I've got no problem with them playing smash mouth. We're playing smash mouth. There's not a debating society. We're not in some salon in the Upper east side over some tea and martinis. Oh, well, you know, that's what the, that's what the National Review, that's what all these guys, RJC out there this weekend condemning everybody. Just like, remember, remember, they're the biggest never Trump group out there. They had Desantis. They were all set up. The Paul DeSantis thing is their operation. So please spare me, Please spare me what you're going to do, okay? Please. And please spare me your definition of what MAGA is, okay? We've been in the trenches with MAGA from the beginning when you guys hated Trump. Initially, you hate Trump all the time. Except when he's doing something for you. Mark Levine does nothing but hot air. Mark Levine, instead of running your mouth, what are you doing in New York City? I tell you what we're doing. We're going to denaturalize Mandami, which I told people back that they had to do back when I met with them right after Mondavi won the primary, which they didn't think he was going to win. I told him. He was going to win. So now what are they doing at the end? Oh, we're gonna move to Miami. We're gonna move the financial capital of the world. We're just gonna. We're just gonna give up on New York. That's gonna work out fine for the United States of America. Same way they're trying to quit down in Texas. It's easy to surrender. It's easy to surrender. It's hard to fight. You're going to get called everything in the book. You're going to be othered. Who cares? History shows when we stand and fight, we win. If we don't quit, we win. Our movement is antifragile. We have resilience. We can take a punch and then punch back harder. Never forget the lessons. Divine Providence allowed this election to be stolen for a purpose. Not just 16 was providential. 20 was providential. We needed to go into the wilderness. We needed to regroup. We needed to rethink our line of attack. And look at the glorious revolution we've had in the first 250 days. It hasn't been perfect, but you know what? It's pretty damn good. And you look at the alternative because you always have to look at the opportunity costs of what would have happened in either Hillary Clinton or an extension of with Kamala Harris. A complete and total disaster. You would have lost your country. That is why Trump is a providential figure. And I think while we have a providential figure, maybe we use him. And don't let the consultants say, oh, my gosh, you can't bring Trump to New Jersey. You can't bring him to the Commonwealth. You certainly can't bring him to California where there's more MAGA voters than anywhere else in the nation. You can't bring him because he works with the Democrats and he'll drive up their turnout. That was their whole mission anyway. Enten said it right there from the beginning. If you look at these campaigns, they're not even running the details. It's all hate Trump in California. It's just, how do you stop Trump now and how do you impeach him? And so Schwarzenegger and McCarthy and particularly Schwarzenegger, just wandering around like the clown he is just wandering around. And now you're going to have five seats stolen. The only argument they have internally, the Democratic Party there, you know what they're talking about. They should have gone 52 0. That's what they're saying. Because look at New England, 25 to nothing up there in a region that votes. I don't know. 40, 41, 42%. Republican. Lee Wambsgans, you've got a huge endorsement this morning down in Texas. Tell us about it, ma'. Am.

[Sarah]

Well, I was honored to receive the endorsement from the National Border Patrol Policy Patrol Council. Excuse me, the National Border Patrol Council. And that's because they know I'm the candidate who has had their back this whole time. For years and years, when the Biden administration came in and opened our borders, I was one of the ones speaking truth to power that Texas needed to step up. And the pushback I always get is that border security is a national issue. And yes, it is. It's a national issue. But Texas, listen, we've got a $2.7 trillion GDP. Our biannual budget is. Is over $360 billion. Texas can afford to protect Texans at our border, and we've got to have those guys back. You know the company I work for, Patriot Mobil, we sent down truckloads of supplies down to the border because the Biden administration did not provide it for them. And we asked, what do you need? One of the sheri said, we need body bags. We literally sent body bags because these. These farmers that live on the other side of the border are finding the dead bodies of these migrants who are just victimized by the cartel we have created by an open border, an industrial complex for human trafficking on the border. Now, thank the Lord that President Trump and Tom Homan came in to save the day, and they have done a fabulous job of securing that border. But Texas can never be caught again with. With this situation, regardless of who's in the White House. I am a person who will, in Austin, as your state senator, be the one fighting to make sure Operation Lone Star stays fortified. Our Border patrol has what they need. That. That if they need our Texas National Guard, they're going to get it. I will not relent on that, and I will not take a knee, because border safety and border security is important to all Texans and all Americans.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

How much the Chinese Communist Party, how much money are they putting in money? The money laundering capital of the world is Macau. The sex trafficking capital of the world is Macau because they've had 450 million abortions, 80% little Chinese baby female babies. So they got this disconnect with young men. So it's. Macau is one of the dirtiest, nastiest cities in mankind's history. How you stacking up against your opponent? What's the ground game like?

[Sarah]

The ground game is strong because I have the grassroots. My opponent has over 95% of his money coming in from out of state interest like the one that you just mentioned. That's the number one interest. We have never seen this kind of money. We have never seen a candidate in the state of Texas willing to take over now 95% of of his funds from outside of the state of Texas. We have over 450 donors. We have raised $2 million. We are working very hard and our ground game is very, very strong. We have just under 700,000 registered voters in this district and we've had over 11% of them vote in early voting and we are out there. We are, we're block walking all weekend. We are doing the calls, we're doing get out the vote tonight. We, we need every MAGA conservative that has not voted in this election to get out tomorrow. Polls are open 7am to 7pm Let me explain the importance to this. This is half of Tarrant County. This district, the state of Texas has 31 state senators. So we have about 31 million people. We have about a million people per state senate district. And what the left sees is for the first time in history we have five sitting Republican senators who are not running for reelection for whatever reason if they're running for something else or they got a job.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

[Sarah]

Ma', am, you go to Lee4Texas.com to learn more about my race. This race is a huge target of the Soros and the leftist organizations because Senate District 9 takes half of Tarrant County. As you said, Tarrant county is the largest red county in the nation. We have over 2.3 million people. Our county is larger than 15 states. That's why Senate District 9 is a target and that's why President Trump endorsed Lee Wampscon's for Texas Senate District 9. That's why Congressman Brandon Gill endorsed Lee Wampscon for Texas Senate District 9. Riley Gaines, this morning we got the Border Patrol endorsement because they know how critical this race is to Texas and America. I'm asking you to get your viewers to call their people in Texas. If you're in Texas, make sure every household member votes tomorrow, November 4th, in this special election for Texas Senate District 9. And I'm asking for your vote for Lee Wampscon's.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Thank you, ma'.

[Mark Lucas]

Am.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Look forward to having maybe some on your campaign on this afternoon. And we're going to cover it very closely tomorrow. So thank you, Lee.

[Sarah]

Thank you, Steve.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

One of the great fighters down there, she used to be head of comms over at the PAC or the political action group associated with Patriot Mobile. 972 Patriot. Call them today. Ask them the question why they're the best phone service in the world and particularly why they Support your causes and stop giving money to people that hate you. We're going to be doing coverage. Real America's voice and war room will flip to election night coverage as only we can do. Remember you folks that were with us on the 3rd of November, the 3rd of November, 2020 five years ago, Dave, boy, does time fly by. We did it from a top of a roof. Froze, totally freezing tops like we do the inaugurations, all that gets up there, Beautiful, magnificent venue. Gets a little cold in 2020 in the fight there. And then the next morning, right here from the war room as it got down into the trenches where they stole it. They stole the 2020 election. Flat out stole it. That's why they're so freaking out right now. And I understand I'm getting things from, you know, main justice and all. Well, you, you had to initiate a process by sending this strongly worded letter. Fine, I got it. Grab a U. S. Marshal, get a warrant, go down and see some balance. Because now people are saying, well, it's not actually 400,000, Steve, it's maybe 150,000. You see, you said, I'm just saying. I'm just saying, let's go seize the ballots. Don't play around with niceties. Oh, we have to kick off the what process? They stole the fricking election from him. Stop playing by the marquee of Queensbury's rules. You play by the marquee of Queensbury's rules, you end up with ma' am Donnie. You play by the marques of Queensbury rules, you end up with California with, you know, a state of what, 40 million people, it votes, I don't know, 42 or 43% Republican, and you're going to end up with a state that has 48 congressional seats that are Democrats and only four that are Republicans. Are you kidding me? The reason the country's in the shape it's in is that the National Review and the RJC and all the establishment Republicans and everybody that ran out there in 2021 when they didn't have Trump live, but they had desantis and they had Nikki Hadley and that had Ted Cruz, had a whole Israel first crowd up there nonstop. Guys like Ted Cruz never said a peep about the invasion in Texas, right? The invasion of illegal aliens coming through Texas could have stopped it. Could at least gone down to the border and laid down there and had press conferences say, we got to stop this. I'm not moving till we stop it. Nope, they're all soft when it comes time to the Point of contact with the enemy. And remember, this is not your father's Democratic Party. I came from a family of Union Democrats, Kennedy Democrats and FDR Democrats because these are working men and that's what they believed. Now, all of these folks now, or most of them are hardcore maga. The hardest core maga. My beloved parents or my mom had died, but she was a huge Trump fan back then. My dad first guy said, this guy Trump gonna save the country. At the point of contact, the Republican Party folds because they're not tough. They still want all their privileges of all their clubs and going to all their restaurants and, you know, living the high life and having some, you know, Upper east side with bow ties and tea and crumpets and chatting about, you know, great thoughts. We're beyond the great thoughts. Think. Mandami and that crowd are interested in your great thoughts. You think you're going to debate them? You think you're going to debate them? Chatham House Rules. Is that what you're going to do? Is this. We're going to have a debate. National Review is going to have a special issue on the debating Mondami. They are Bolsheviks. They're Marxist. They're Marxist jihadists. The Red Green alliance. What Raheem Kassam and what Trevor Loudon and Frank Gaffney and people said for years and were laughed and mocked at. And when they called out Sidikon, this is going to be a neighbor. Oh, you guys are racist, you're nativist, you're xenophobes, all of a check London out. How's that working out? How's it working out for the stabbing victims? Working out good over there. That good? They got control over there. They're going to debate that out. Let's go to Oxford and have a debating union and debate the topics. It's not a debate. They're not looking for a debate. They could care less about your ideas. They've already thought about them and they've rejected them. Okay, full rejection. Debate that. They're not interested. They're interested in power and control. And for everybody out there considering, well, this is going to be quite interesting. This will be great because, you know, he's a socialist and eventually going to run. He's not a socialist, he's a Marxist. He's a Bolshevik. He's a Bolshevik. And they play by Bolshevik tactics. The Working Family Party and the DSA are not. They are Bolsheviks and they play smash mouth. And once they get their hands on the apparatus of the New York government, city government, the Global Financial Capital. You're going to have to take a trenching tool and get it off now. Now every said, well, just, let's just run to Miami. Let's just run to Florida. Let's just run somewhere. We're not a nation that's built on running. We're a nation that's built on stand and deliver. And these gutless cowards, the elites in New York, you are to blame for this guy. You had every opportunity to actually work on making some things affordable, but your greed and avarice wouldn't allow it. And now in the 11th hour, the New York Post is like 50 stories. Drudgery's got the link. There's 50 stories. Oh, my God, he's coming for us. You damn right he's coming. A Ugandan citizen. A citizen of Uganda. Husay jihadist. His parents are jihadist. Funded by the darkest money, the most dangerous money coming out of the Middle east that we don't even know. All this dark money. We don't even know who gave it, where they gave it, how they gave it, but they gave it. And then his Marxist rhetoric on the other side. Remember, the Marxists always put on a look at the Bolsheviks and the revolution. They always put a happy. They try to put a happier face on it. They put it, you know, democracy is a big thing. Democracy. Until Trump starts winning. Then all sudden it's, you know, they're not into democracy. They got to figure it out that Trump's anti democratic, although he just won a sweeping victory. Right? Grassroots sweeping victory. But, you know, he's a fascist. He's a king. Right?

[Donald Trump]

King.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

This, this is why we got to get Trump engaged. They didn't want Trump in New Jersey. They didn't want him in Virginia. They certainly didn't want him in California. See how that works out for you tonight. The redistricting, all these fights are inextricably linked. They're one fight between the forces of light that would be us and the forces of darkness that would be them. And this is not a garden party. What did Mao say? What did Mao say Tung say? Revolutions are not garden parties. This is a revolution. You haven't seen that. Add technology on top of it. We're going to have Max Tegmark on later. Talk about AI. Advances in AI. They've just now appeared over the weekend. I don't know. Maybe AI is getting conscious. Hey, I don't know, but we're going to talk to some experts. Mark Lucas, a portion of your life was confronting this jihadism in the heart of it. Another you know, American adventure paid for in blood and treasure, particularly blood blood of this new greatest generation. Your thoughts when you see on the close to the 5th, the day after the 5th anniversary on them stealing the election for Trump. Remember they stole the election for Trump the day they got in office. In the first hundred days they did not do anything on raising taxes on the billionaires. Nothing. It was all performative. Why the billionaires owned the Democratic Party. You know what they did day one, though, they were already organized with the NGOs in a very systematic allowing and exacerbating an invasion of our country of 10 to 15 million people. Grasp that for a second. 10 to 15 million illegal alien invaders. That's what they did and that's what they had to have Trump out of the way. They understand he went a long way to sealing the border and starting to build a wall and getting serious like he did this time when he sealed the border in 60 days. Something they told you forever was impossible. Impossible in any amount of time. So Mark Lucas, your Article 3 the Viceroy is my man. Ma', am, Donnie is not a citizen because he lied about his citizenship. What are we going to do about it, sir?

[Mark Lucas]

Well, it's unbelievable. After 911 when I saw the Twin Towers fall, you know, I really wanted to serve my country overseas to destroy these monsters that were willing to take innocent life. And it's unbelievable to me and many veterans all across our country that New York City is poised to elect a foreign born Islamist who parades around known indicted conspirators of the first World Trade center attack. And now I'm hearing New Yorkers say they want to give up on New York City. Well, as an infantry officer, we don't believe in giving up any ground. If you look at President Trump and Secretary Hegseth at the Department of War, they're going into cities like Chicago and D.C. and Los Angeles. They're not giving up on these big cities. So at Veteran Action, I want to remind the American people of my service to Afghanistan and thousands of others who served in Iraq and Afghanistan that we saw radical Islam up close and personal. And these people aren't coming to America to assimilate. They're not coming here to enjoy our freedoms. They're coming to conquer and to dominate us. And some people are saying, well Mark, your experience in Afghanistan, that's a one off. That's more of a cultural issue in Afghanistan. Well, look at Europe, look at Sweden. I'm telling people that my men witnessed Afghan men beating their women, raping little boys and now they're exporting that to Sweden, where an afghan man is 69 times more likely to rape a Swede than a Swedenborn person. You look at New York City, you look at Dearborn, Michigan, you look at Minneapolis, Minnesota, where A young girl, 12 years old, was abducted and raped in the local mosque in Minneapolis, wrote a letter of support of that person and he received the minimum sentence. So I'm telling people all across the country to wake up New York City.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Hang on one second. Just stick around for one second. Hang around. Mark Lucas from Article 3. Spread the word all through Hong Kong. We will fight till they're all gone. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the ccp, run a.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Jim Rickards, one of the best analyst out there. Rickardswaroom.com we set up a landing page so that you can go and get a copy of Strategic Intelligence, his monthly newsletter based upon predictive analytics. Get ahead of the program. Make sure you talk to Jim Rickards and his team. He's also doing a free book about artificial intelligence and fiat currency. Wow. Talk about ahead of the curve.

[Mark Lucas]

Rickards.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

And that's why he does such a great job on War Room. And the audience loves him, wants to have him on more. We're trying to, but he's a very busy guy because he's focused on this newsletter, Strategic Intelligence. Rickardswarroom.com Check it out today. Mark Lucas, the I Hear you and it's important and we this is why we're the the War Room continues to pound this daily, but the people in New York, you know, the media has done a Terrible job of describing this because they just say he's a socialist. Right. You know, they got the happy, you know, videos, tiktoks where he's going around the grocery stores and talking about how he's going to do this and how he's going to do that. He's got the Working Family Party and dsa, which are ground game. And they got a tremendous ground game. I mean, you just look at it, they compound it. So given how far down the path we are, what happens if he wins tomorrow night?

[Mark Lucas]

We're not involved in a political election. We're involved in a war. And we saw what the left was willing to do against President Trump. They tried to send him to prison for non crimes. They tried to kick him off the ballot. And then I saw the left try to assassinate President Trump on live tv. That's what the left is willing to do to their enemies. They're playing for keeps. And I see too many people in the Republican Party, in the establishment that they don't see this threat. Well, I saw Mamdani openly campaigning with an unindicted co conspirator of the first World Trade center attack. I think that's enough grounds to investigate his application to citizenship, to see if he committed fraud by saying that he was not affiliated with terrorist organizations. And then we should move to denaturalize him and to kick him out of this country. And every other Islamic candidate who has been openly working with these type of people should also be investigated. We need to play for keeps. This is Western civilization that's at stake here. It's not just New York City. It's migrated to my midwestern towns like Dearborn, Michigan, Minneapolis, Minnesota. We have to hold these people accountable.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

They just stopped a terror attack. The FBI just stopped a terror attack the other day. Coming from, coming from the surrounding area. Dearborn. Correct. A Halloween terror attack.

[Mark Lucas]

Correct. And this is coming to America. I told people in the Federalist this morning. I was wrote an op ed that was very politically incorrect. I talked about how I witnessed older Afghan men that would buy little children into sexual slavery. I witnessed how these people would beat their women. They have a complete disrespect for women and for young boys in particular. And that was not politically correct. But I had to share that message as a veteran that served in Afghanistan in 2010. If you talk to other military service members who served in that sham global war on terror, we saw those type of atrocities every day. Let's migrated to Europe. It's coming to America and we need to put an end to it. Zoran smiles in these grocery stores. He talks about giving away all this free stuff, but he is a radical Islamist and he wants to conquer and dominate New York City. And I'm just really upset that these New Yorkers and I'm not even from New York. I grew up in Iowa. I was never a big fan of the city. I really Hank Williams Jr. Song Country Boy Can Survive that really resonated with me. But when I saw the Twin Towers fall, I felt like a New Yorker. And we cannot give up this ground. We have to continue to fight and we need to legally look into his citizenship and kick him out of this country.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

I fought a war against radical Islamists like the one New York is about to elect. By Mark Lewis. It's in the great Shaun Davis Federalist, which has so many great articles in it. It's pretty tough. That's why people got to read this. Mark Lucas, what is your, what are your coordinates on social media? And how do we get over to Article 3 Project?

[Mark Lucas]

Sure. Well, you can go to article3project.org I still serve with Mike Davis on his board, but you can also go to veterinaction.org, click on the Take Action button. I built an action center for Veteran action just like I did with the Article 3 project. And right now we're advocating not just against Zoran Mamdani, but we're also supporting President Trump's top legislative priority for veterans, the Veterans Access act that would give them access to good quality health care. So veterinaction.org you can follow me on Getter Truth all the socials arclucas USA.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

When you talk to the veterans that are part of Veterans Action, where are they coming down on? And not just Mandani, but what's happening in Texas and other places throughout the country.

[Mark Lucas]

They're shocked in particular when within Plano, Texas, there seems to be this growth of people trying to promote Sharia law and openly shouting down Christians. We witnessed this stuff in Afghanistan. We cannot believe it's coming to our home shore. And we were told a part of the deal with fighting the global war on terror was that we were able to fight these guys outside of America. But now we're having this struggle here with politicians who are inviting these people into our country. So veterans are just very shaken, but we're willing to fight for this country like we did overseas. We support President Trump securing the border, limiting immigration, and really focusing on the homeland.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

What is, what, what years we were you in Afghanistan?

[Mark Lucas]

2010 and 2011. Those were the two deadliest years of Operation Enduring Freedom.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

No, it was tough. Mark Lucas, thank you so much. Appreciate you.

[Mark Lucas]

Thank you, sir.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Shouldn't be lost on people that it was a group of Texans that were running the United states government between 2000, 2001, 2008, when we went very easy on this, very easy on this. People said, well, we started these wars. No, you look at the wars, they were complete disaster. This is why you want to see the war. You want to see how it was handled. Go watch the last 600 meters. You'll be furious when you finish watching it. First Fallujah Najaf. Second Fallujah. If you don't remember it, most people, 99% of people don't remember. Got to see it up close and personal. It's coming here. It's not coming here, it's here. Neither going to fight it or you're going to roll over on it. Home Title act make sure. Look, if you're lucky enough to own a home and if you're under 35, you probably don't, but 90% of your net worth or 80% of your net worth worth is tied up in it.
