Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything. The world has stopped that, but you're not going to stop it. It's great going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War ROOM here's your host, Stephen k. Band. Saturday 13th December Year Overlord 2025 folks, just remember the theory of the case here is the Republican establishment, the ordered establishment of this, of this country are surrounding President Trump in the MAGA movement. That is signal. There's a lot of noise out there, but that's signal and how they do it with some of the most powerful institute in the United States Senate that will not break the filibuster, won't go on recess appointments, won't back his $2,000 coming from the tariff money to the United States citizen, won't get rid of the blue slips, won't support him on judges across the board. And now you've got David Malpass who's as smart as they come, saying they just reappointed themselves. This is a fed that President Trump's been at war with. This is not your typical kind of, hey, you know, I, I'm, I, you know Nixon, I don't like Arthur Burns. This is not that The Federal Reserve as an institution has been at war with President Trump, the central bank of the United States and as you know, we even question that, we're like Jackson, why do we even have a central bank? They're at war and they just reappointed themselves. And here's the most important thing. The business media would not even talk about it. Malpus just laid out what they did. The same group, they're saying, screw Powell, Powell's just the guy structurally we're going to combat him. You're not going to move us and we're going to reappoint ourselves. So I don't care if you put worshin, you put hasset in. If Bessant wears two hats, we don't care. They're at War, just like the Senate is now. They don't. They're not like war room. Maybe we're yelling, screaming at a microphone about this stuff and going out and going to all your meetings and rallies and getting people jacked up into the ramparts, because that's political power. They're doing it another way. Behind, behind, behind the closed doors. This is the way the system works. They see Trump as a. As a passing summer storm. Josh Pettit. And Pettit, you've got the physical copy of what I don't have. Today's the Weekend Financial Times. What's that headline right there? Brother EU freezes 210 billion euros of Russian assets, Folks, I'm gonna get a copy of that. I'm gonna get Elizabeth or Grace or somebody. Put it up. When Viktor Orban says, you're crossing the Rubicon, and Viktor Orban is a man that's put it all on the line to work for peace over there and fought these demons in the eu, when he tells you, you cross the Rubicon, Folks, when you talk about the. When the kinetic part of the Third World War metastasizes and is not put to bed like President Trump's trying to do, you're going to remember some dates and this date's going to be one of them. So, Josh Pettit, I would normally have you on here. Remember, Josh, is the golf course, the Alistair McKinsey Institute, expert in golf course architecture. So I was thinking of having you on here as we could fit it in before Christmas. President Trump is making a big effort on the D.C. courses. In fact, they're taking now. Burgum came with the idea of taking the. Taking the. When they're taking. Excavating for the big, beautiful ballroom, he's going to now use that as berm to make even the links, little links courses on the water for the people, these little public courses. I was going to have you for that or some other stuff. But I remembered when we were talking about the fires in California, the most succinct explanation of what went on was you. You said, hey, look, don't, don't believe the stuff on the surface. This is an interlocking network of these coastal elites and what they've done, they brought this on themselves. They've been working for 30 years. And until you break that, all these commissions and NGOs and how they work together, just electing politicians, you're just kidding yourself. You've come up with something. And this is about the economy and where it's going. When you talk about data centers and you talk about AI and right now we had Doc Pete Chambers running for governor of Texas that said, yo, out here it's going to be water. You're sucking out the aquifers. You're doing it in Arizona. I know in Arizona it's a huge, huge issue. You've sent me an article, sir, and if we can get it up about a public golf course, I think, I believe it's in California. Walk me through it. Because the price tag, I think the course is worth people play there and they play for almost no money. It's these kind of blue collar or folk, you know, available to young people and to, and to retirees to play a beautiful course to play. I think the value of its $5 million and it sold for I think 40 or 50. And the reason is it's going to be a data center. Is that what's happening? You see? Is there some insidious effort by the Tech Bros now start. If they can't get zoning in other places, they're just going to go and roll up these golf courses, Sir. Well, Steve, you know, I, I can't help but think of the irony here. You know, here in California, golf courses have been targeted for years, decades by these overzealous NGOs who profiteer over the conversion of these golf courses into open space, which then allows them to source these state and federal grant monies that are funded by taxpayer dollars in order to conduct these big boondoggle habitat restoration projects in order to fight climate change. It's part of the climate agenda and it's, it's massive business for these people to the tune of hundreds of millions and billions of dollars a year. So myself and others have been fighting for a long time to protect some of these public municipal golf courses that are owned and operated by these cities. In these counties, they provide very affordable public access golf at a very low cost to the residents. They're great for seniors, for kids and they provide such a valuable recreational amenity to these communities. So I was shocked last night to come across this article on golf.com about this golf course. Actually the, the, the story mainly focuses on a golf course in Harrisburg Penns called Dauphin Highlands. And yes, it's a public, it's owned by the county, it's a municipal golf course. It's very affordable, it's actually thriving, it's very busy, does 50,000 rounds a year which for a seven month season on the east coast is a, is a lot of golf. So it's doing well and it was targeted by these AI, in this case, an AI data center developer based out of Dallas who offered the county in a backroom deal essentially 10x the market value of this land. So for people that understand land use and zoning, you know, the value, the market value of land is really predicated on the land use and the allowable uses of the land. So in, in the case of a piece of land for a golf course, that zone is, say, commercial recreation, the valuation is only as much as the golf operation provides. But in this case, the county has rezoned the land to offer it up to a developer to be able to develop for industrial use, in this case, AI dentist data centers, which is why now they've 10x the value of land they've sold for $46 million. And this, the article goes on to talk about several other golf courses. There's about a half a dozen or so that are being targeted now, including one out here in California not too far from me. That was a nine hole course designed by Alistair McKenzie, my hero. But I think this is just the beginning. And the irony here, going back to these environmental, these NGOs is that the data centers are the antithesis of what these people fight for. The data centers are going to provide noise pollution. It's going to be a loss of this green space, a loss of a recreational amenity. They require enormous amount of water and the key is they require an enormous amount of energy that's going to in turn significantly increase the electricity costs of the residents of this community. And if you read the article, it says specifically that the sale of this land is predicated on some further due diligence to be able to prove that they have enough access to enough energy to be able to build this facility. And of all things fall into place. The golf course is set to close at the end of 2027 and then it'll be developed into these data centers. Then there's another golf course also Steve, in this article that's targeted, called Hunting Hawk and your beloved Richmond, Virginia, Hanover County. So that's just one of these half dozen. But, but what you're going to see is they're going to go across the, the data centers are devouring land. We got all kind of analysis, we're sure next week in the Phoenix area, but just absolutely devouring land. Can you hang on, Josh? Because I want to get Joe Allen in here. We got a cold open from Joe. Let's go and play it and we'll bring Joe Allen in. I'm increasingly surprised by the number of People on the right who I would describe as ardent, free market, low regulation to no regulation, folks who are very anti AI. And I'm just curious, where do you think that comes from and what do you think it comes from? So far as I can tell, the perception that the risks outweigh the benefits. So the risks would include massive job loss, chaos where nobody sort of knows if anything is real and the fabric of reality itself begins to tear. Of course, the massive energy draw and the huge and expensive infrastructure changes. The downsides are super obvious. Not even to mention the potential. This gets completely away from us and eats us or something. Okay. As weighed against the potential benefits, which are what? Who's in charge of the marketing for this? Seriously? Sam Altman. Sam Altman and David Sachs. Go. Because AI is everything. AI means everything. What I think is more interesting than my opinion or yours on any specific ones here is what's going to happen in 2026 at a meta level. And we are shaping up to see the fight of our lifetime between AI companies and the technology industry and rank and file Americans. We actually had a big discussion with Tucker Carlson sitting in for Freeberg. We had a big debate on this. You're going to hear this play out in 2026, into the midterms and certainly into the 2028 national election. And I pulled a couple of clips here. I think it's worth us getting ahead of the curve here like we did on the IP issue on Twist. So first up, we're going to hear from Joe Allen. He is an author of a book that argues against transhumanism. And this is a book that Steve Bannon wrote the intro for Jason. So clearly there's simpatico here. What is the objective of the companies that people like David Sacks and Ted Cruz are running cover for? What is this supreme intelligence that the President is talking about? These companies are driving towards artificial general intelligence. And whether you believe that's possible or not, what it shows is they are willing to create something that would replace every worker on Earth. Whatever percentage of that objective they achieve, it will be a net negative for any working American or any worker across the world. So what are we fighting against? We're fighting against people who not only don't care about your well being other than to use you for training data or to use you as a pet after their singularity, these are people who actively want to replace you. So the argument here, Jason, that people are being forced to essentially submit their information, their training, and then become replicated by computer systems and then replaced by them. That does not sound like conspiracy theory to me. That sounds like it's dead on. That sounds like it's dead on. It's one of the smartest guys. Joe Allen and I want to set the framework for this because we're going to have Reagan Reese from the Daily Caller is going to join us. She's written a brilliant piece about what happened in Indianapolis. There are two for the Warren posse. There are two predicate fights that are happening right now that tees up 26 and beyond. One is the reditioning, the support from President Trump. You've seen the Republican establishment fight that tooth and nail. Indianapolis was a perfect example. And you have the war of the populist nationalists versus the tech bros. Joe, they're trying to put some not feelers out, but olive branches to say, hey, can't we all work together? Give me a minute on that before we go to break. You heard Josh Pettit say behind the scenes they're devouring every green space they can, including municipal golf courses. But right now, David Sacks and others, whether it's Tucker Carlson yourself, the war room, they want to. Can we just have a group hug and work it out, sir? Well, it seems to me, Steve, that the group hug would involve me inviting robots into my home to rub my feet, write my essays and do all of my media hits, which in some ways might be appealing. What Jason Calacanis, if I am pronouncing his name right, what Jason Calacones talking about is ultimately how to replace everyone and keep the population placated. They talk about artificial intelligence as if it's a force of nature. We heard the same sorts of talk around mass immigration. It's not a force of nature. Artificial intelligence is human beings harnessing the forces of nature to their own ends, and their ends are diametrically opposed to ours. Joe, hang on for a second. Got Josh Pettit and Joe, we've got some work on artificial intelligence to do. The great Reagan Reese is going to join us about her piece over in the Daily Call that outlines. Hey. Exactly what happened in Indiana and what is going to be the fallout and blowback that. The two predicate fights for 2026 and beyond. Also, there's going to be an EO signed on Monday about marijuana. We're going to get some folks here going to explain it all to you next in the War room.

But it ain't the price, it's the process. Learn what drives the price of gold. Learn what it means. Gold to be a hedge. Learn what it means. The de dollarization movement throughout the world. Harnwell is going to join us in a moment. We're going to talk all about that. I'm going to get Joe and Josh Pettit back on about these data centers and AI in the big fight. But there's two predicate fights, one and Reagan Reese over at the Daily Caller. A magnificent piece if we can get it up Denver. I want everybody to be a force multiplier on this piece this weekend because the other predicate fight is really these redistricting efforts. Reagan, do you see in Indianapolis the beginning of the Republican establishment essentially saying, hey, we're not going to do this because this was a people. We can't put it any other way. This was a catastrophic loss. The White House thought they had it. John Fredericks thought they had it. We were pushing hard. We Had a lot of people out there. Turning Point went out there. They're starting to say, well, Turning Point's not as powerful as when Charlie was around. Because you see in Indianapolis a lot of finger pointing. I know the White House very upset about this. President Trump very upset about it. And he didn't really get engaged. But because here's how big it was, we didn't even win the conference in the Senate. We lost that 21:19. Now, they did that to cover themselves. So there's no one or two parties you can. You can pick out there, but you covered this extensively. Walk me through your article and your thoughts on this. Is this the Republican establishment, both in the Senate and now in these state houses, two powerful institutions, saying, we can see the end of the MAGA movement, we can see the end of Trump, and we're ready to move on, ma'? Am. Yeah. I mean, there's no other way to interpret this, I think. And I think the President Trump and a lot of his allies are rightfully very angry about this. And so what we saw is that there was maybe a potential. There were a couple votes that could have been swung in favor of this redistricting. And I've heard from sources close to the White House that it kind of came down to the wire. And then there were a couple of establishment, like people in this Indiana Senate who wanted to go a different way, who wanted to stab the president in the back. And so now what I wrote about is that you are seeing the president and his allies really rally against the Indiana Republicans, and they want to make them. Make them pay. Trump adviser Alex Brushowitz told me that he has been vetting candidates to primary all 21 of these Senate Republicans for the past couple of weeks. Kind of saw some of this coming. TPUSA has begun to TP USA Action has begun to hire a staff to put them down on the ground in Indiana to be dedicated to chasing votes to make sure that all of these 21 Senate Republicans lose these votes. Heritage Action, who is a little bit tangled in a controversy around this Senate, this Senate, Indiana redistricting thing. They put out a tweet saying that the president threatened to pull federal funding from the state of Indiana if they voted against the redistricting effort. I've heard from a source close to the redistricting process that the Trump administration never made that sort of threat and that the whole tweet was fake and they never spoke to the Heritage Action. But despite that, anyways, and being kind of back and forth with the Trump administration, The Heritage Action has said that they are also going to be primary. All of these Senate Republicans, Club for Growth Club pledged to primary these Senate Republicans to look at what races they can win. And so now the knives are out. And I think I loved this quote I got. This was from a source close to the White House. This source told me metaphorically, this ends with heads on pikes. And I think that is a perfect representation of the anger you are seeing from the White House. And I think it also speaks to what you touched on. So, Steve, that there are establishment Republicans who are kind of looking to turn their back on President Trump and move on. And the White House, the president, his allies, the gop, I don't think are going to be very forgiving of that. Reagan, we've got Florida, Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska. I mean, you know, Degrasse did this in 21. It's one of the reasons we have the House. The war was at the tip of the spear in this. I have said we need a net 10 positive to make sure that we can put it away in 26. This is a struggle. Is the purpose of this exercise that the White House is going through to send a signal to the other people from North Carolina to Florida, you got to get on board and you got to get on board now because we're burning daylight and we don't have time to mess around. We certainly don't have time for another Indiana. It's empowering the Democrats, ma'. Am. Totally. I think the White House is feeling pressure on a bunch of different topics going into the 2026 midterms. We are now less than a year out from the 2026 midterms. And we have Americans who are feeling like the economy is not benefiting them. We have Trump supporters who feel like the president is spending too much time on foreign policy as opposed to domestic policy. And now you have within state governments, Republicans who don't want to redistrict their state to help the national party. And I think you can also read this as these people aren't looking at the big picture. These Senate Republicans in Indiana might have a hard time understanding how this can politically impact the rest of the country nationally. Probably the people of Indiana don't really understand either. And they're probably local politics on also at play. I think all of those reasons are totally fair, but this is definitely a matter of politics. It's a matter of national politics. And I think the White House is probably wise to send a message right now, get ahead of it while they still can, because they're going to need every ounce of support and tools that they can get heading into the 2026 midterms because there's pressure after the 2024 election, I think so many Republicans were so happy, the GOP was so happy that Trump won. Almost every area of the country shifted to the right that now there's this pressure to keep capitalizing on that in 202016 because. Or 2026 because I think that there is. There's a real fear on the other side of what the Democrats could do if they get in power and if they finally get their mojo back. And that's something the GOP does not want. We start the show with Rachel Maddow in Chicago. Trust me, President Trump saved the country. And if we don't go to the ramparts right now, we're in trouble. Reagan, where do people get, what's your social media? Where do they get this writing? You're covering the White House as well as anybody. It's pretty amazing stuff you're coming up with. Great interview with President Trump a while ago. Where do folks get more of your content? Thanks so much. Reagan Reese At Twitter, Instagram, I'm making videos, also breaking down my content. If you're not super into read, I do some short 60 second videos where I can explain the news of the day and what's going on in the White House. You can see it on Twitter as well and of course the Daily Caller website. We have tons of stuff going on there. And I'm also writing a column on Substack just with my insider experience, being in the Cabinet Room, being in the Oval Office. What's that like from the perspective of a White House correspondent? I want everybody to pile on this. It's great content with great insights. Reagan, thank you so much. Thank you for doing this. Thank you. Saturday. Thank you, ma'. Am. Joe Allen, the fight now because people have to understand, the EO basically sets up a fight over getting into this legislation, getting into this, the federal part of this, because President Trump's laid out the framework, not just the four Cs, but broader things about exactly what's going on, etc. We're going to get massive pushback from the tech bros. They do feel that the wins to their back. Give me your assessment. Yeah, what I'm seeing, Steve, is basically an attempt to placate is the only word that I can really apply to this. They want to placate the rage that people feel when they hear tech CEOs talking about creating AIs to replace them create AIs to rule over them, offer them brain computer interfaces as some sort of empowering device that would allow them to somehow participate in this world. For instance, Jason Calacantis in another part of the podcast that we just heard, where to my surprise, Alex Wilhelm from TechCrunch actually defended my argument. But we heard earlier in the podcast Jason Calacanis talking about how in the future, near future, people could use Neuralink to directly participate in Disney stories. You know, Disney and OpenAI just partnered and this is the sort of dream world that they live in. They live in a world in which machines will be the highest authority on what is and isn't real, what is and isn't good, and what is and isn't beautiful. And they are imposing it on the rest of the population. People talk about it in terms of choice. There is a choice on the personal and communal level, and to some extent there's a choice on the institutional level. But we see more and more companies forcing their employees and even their executives to use AI. For instance, Vista Equity forces all of their acquisitions to prove a certain amount of use of AI in order to keep the capital. So this isn't as if they're offering some sort of great product and saying, oh look, the Luddites and the populace are afraid of our new technology. Just like the light bulb, just like the telegraph, so on and so forth. They're the CEOs behind the biggest artificial intelligence projects. The four frontier AI companies are openly talking about replacing any human being possible in the white collar or blue collar sectors. And their ultimate goal is to create a digital being that will be the authority on what is and isn't real. AKA a sand God. Yeah, we're pissed. Imagine that. And we're going to fight like hell, so don't think anybody's placated. Joe, your work is amazing. Real quickly, Nashville. Word of people. Is there still time to join this effort you're having today or people just have to wait till later? This one's closed up, but there will be a video. You can find all my stuff at J O E B O T X Y Z and JoeBot XYZ. And don't forget the book Dark Aeon. Now you get the tech Bros buying it and reading it. They want to know the thinking of Joe Allen. Joe, great job. We'll put it out where you're going to go. I want everybody to see Joe in public, of course. Possible Joby with his amfest. Josh Pettit. Real quickly, where do people go to get your content, brother, you're breaking a massive story here in the nation. Data centers are devouring golf courses and they're going to devour a lot more than golf courses. Where they go, sir. And Steve, really quickly in the article, the buried lead is a quote from San Altman. He says, I guess that a lot of the world gets covered in data centers over time. I encourage people to check out that article@golf.com I'm@alistairmckenzie.org the Alistair McKenzie Institute. You're fantastic. And thanks for bringing the Financial Times. Josh Pettit, Modern day holding you up. Run a business and not thinking about radio. Think again. Because more people are listening to the radio on iHeart today than they were 20 years ago.

War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Banff. FOX News is reporting, reporting that American troops on patrol in Syria. Wow, I didn't know we were actually doing patrols in Syria. And we stay pretty on top of this. On patrol in Syria came under attack and there are multiple injuries. We'll put more of that up on Getter throughout the day as we learn more. Folks over at FOX are covering it. Wanted to introduce Luke Neferato from Protect Our Children, the largest organization in the country to protect children from drugs. Also, Dr. Matt polling. Luke, the president. There's been some rumor. It hasn't really come out, but it was supposed to be Friday. It's been delayed. It's supposed to be Monday. The president's gonna sign. I keep hearing from people some executive order about marijuana. Can you tell us what you know about it, sir? Thanks, Steve, for having me on right now. President Trump stands on the precipice of falling into a deep state. Big corporate money trap. It is being widely reported that Trump is sitting on an executive order right now. That would tell the DEA to continue the Biden decision to reschedule marijuana to Schedule 3. This is something that just to give you the backstory Biden promised in his campaign for the 2020 election to down schedule marijuana, to get it towards legalizing this drug. He then basically worked with the deep State to rig the process at dea. They didn't want to do it. They changed all the rules. They, they rammed this rule through. All that's waiting for this rule is for Trump to sign his name to it. It's a total trap. And what's happening is all the good folks around the President are telling him not to do this, but you have major marijuana industry CEOs. These people are multimillion dollar paid drug pushers that are getting away with harming and addicting our kids right now across this country. What if they get this rescheduling done? If they are able to dupe the President into signing this executive order on Monday, they will get a $2 billion tax write off. They will make tons of money off this decision while kids everywhere are being addicted to these new high potent marijuana drugs. So that's what we're looking at. Hang on, I don't understand this. We have a carrier battle group and an amphibious Ready group of 14,000 fleet Marines and sailors. We're pouring troops in there. President Trump, I just had our own correspondent in Northern Mexico yesterday. We're militarizing the California border after we did it in Texas, Arizona. You haven't had a President. This is not just say no to drugs. I mean taking action, putting military assets, taking on drug cartels. Hell, we've shot I think 30 boats out of the water. He's now looking at stopping the Chinese vessels from coming in. Nobody's put more military assets, not just dea. I'm talking about soldiers, troops, sailors, weapons to take down. We got aerial, you know, combat over Venezuela to stop this. How possibly so that's what I understand an individual in man has said. I am going to stop the inflow of drugs in this country and I don't care what I gotta do to do it. Take me to the Supreme Court, take me here. Why would possibly President Trump, the same guy then be doing this about marijuana? It makes no sense. And honestly that's why everyone who knows the guy needs to give him a call, he needs an intervention, cuz his heart is right on this. He is an anti drug person, he doesn't touch substances, he's been fighting hard against drugs. But what's happened is there are a few major marijuana people that have gotten in his ear and they've said that this won't really do anything. All this is, is just a little, it's a federal change that doesn't do anything. They're not telling him that. What this will do is it will basically overnight legitimize this illegal marijuana industry and it will legitimize the very cartels that, as you rightly noted, Trump is trying to destroy. These cartels, they are using states with legal marijuana right now to launder fentanyl dollars, to launder human trafficking dollars. They are using state legal marijuana as cover for destroying the American people right now in places like Maine and Oklahoma. They're not telling President Trump that part of the story. He doesn't know that what he's about to walk into is a mega trap. And so there are major corporate players in the deep state that have gotten between President Trump and the people. Because at the end of the day, this is about the people. Steve, I have parents that have called me and neighbors cuz I'm from Colorado. There are people like Laura Stack, her son died from marijuana psychosis. Moms in Minnesota, Heather Backus, her son died from marijuana psychosis. Those people, that's the base that President Trump is trying to help and he's trying to give them a golden age. That golden age will be turned into fool's gold if we make this decision. He needs to hear from everybody right now because if this gets signed on Monday, it's gonna be a disaster. And at the end of the day, let's not forget the big master plan here. This is about drugging up the American people so they're tuned out from what's going on, so the technocrats and the deep state people can make all the decision self driving cars, get rid of the blue collar and jobs, make sure it's all machine run like what you were just talking about. And meanwhile, the American people are drugged up, addicted and totally out of touch. This is something that will be disastrous for the next generation of Americans who need jobs, who need support, and of course for our families that are being destroyed by drugs every day. We've gotta get to the President and tell him the truth about this. So Doc, I mean, isn't that hysteria right there? I mean there's no, the young generation wants this. The bros that vote voted for President Trump want it. There's nothing matter with marijuana, is there sir? Well, my name is polling, but I'm not a pollster. I did note that, that that young men move decisively towards Trump's camp while biden Harris was still bribing them with marijuana. We're never going to out bribe. If you're a Republican, you're never going to out bribe the Democrats on this issue. So you might as well stand on principle like Charlie Kirk did decisively against this industry. We, we need to, we need to do what Charlie Kirk would do, not what the Chinese Communist Party would like us to do. They know very well what, what, what the marijuana culture is doing to our country. That's why they're helping to fuel it. But if we're. What is the marijuana. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. What is the marijuana culture doing to our country? Well, if we're, if we really want to make America healthy again, the last thing you would want to do is add more of a substance that is causing very serious and costly chronic illnesses like schizophrenia, like heart attacks, like strokes, like cancers if you smoke it fourfold. Increased risk of diabetes if you're a marijuana user. Expensive emergency room visits for psychosis and suicide attempts, chronic vomiting syndromes. I haven't even gotten to addiction treatment. I haven't even gotten to the public health or the public safety aspects of it. So, you know, this is a bad idea, both in terms of America's mental health, physical health, and fiscal health. There's really no, there's really no case for marijuana expansion, unless you're a progressive like George Soros who wants to see America cut down to size, or you're in the marijuana industry. There's only two, Only two explanations I can think of, Luke. Here's what I want to do over the weekend, I think, because this issue is not something we've really covered in any depth until I heard about this executive order. Luke, where do people go right now over the weekend to start to get some facts? So the war in Posse is always better when they've got the receipts and see them if they're gonna make calls or things like this. And you're right, and what doesn't make sense here is that President Trump has been nothing short of a hero in taking on the cartels. And I mean, he's got Maduro up against the wall down there because of this. And we poured in the largest battle groups, the largest amount of military, military assets. Not dea, not law enforcement. This is pipe hitters. We just had Oscar Blue Ramirez, like I said yesterday, who said in Mexico, the cartels understand that Trump has dropped the hammer on him. It makes no sense to do that. And then to have this eo, it's just there's something that doesn't fit there. So where do people go right now to your site to get all the facts? Great question. So find me on X. Luke Niferados, you can find me on X. Also, there's a great website, learnaboutsam.org it's got all the information about marijuana that you could need. All the facts. Check that out as well. And by the way, you mentioned Mexico. The Sinaloa cartel is lobbying for the country of Mexico to legalize marijuana because that will help them funnel more drugs into our country. That will help them. Legalization makes the cartels worse, not better. If we embold them on the United States side with this unprecedented historic decision to relax our drug laws, the cartels are going to run wild. More Americans will be harmed, more kids will be harmed. And the last thing I'll say is they're telling Trump that this is a winner in the polls. I think that's something that's getting to him. But we have polls from Wes Anderson right now that shows more than 65% of voters do not want marijuana rescheduling when they hear that it's a tax write off for child friendly advertising, which is what's going on. And we're seeing unprecedented drops over the last year in Gallup polls. 20% drop. More than 65% of Republicans do not want marijuana rescheduling. More independents don't want rescheduling. This is a loser with, with, with the midterm elections. It's going to keep people at home. Luke. Doc, where do people go to get your social media and to get all your content? I would, I would suggest they look@everybrain matters.org there's lots of information there about the public health and, and please have us back some time to talk about the public saf. All these random acts of mass violence that are supposedly so inexplicable. There's a common denominator there we're seeing pretty clearly now. Guys, thank you very much.

Hometitlelock.com, promo code Steve. Triple lock protection, $1 million. Go talk to Natalie Dominguez and the team. Ben Harnwell. Give me a minute. We crossed the Orban says we crossed the Rubicon. You're back on Monday morning. This is a major event. Like I tell people, President Trump's working like a Trojan to solve this situation. And unfortunately, I think a lot of this is spinning out of anybody's control in Europe. Your thoughts, sir? Steve, good morning. Well, look briefly then. The European Union yesterday has agreed the skeleton structure for how it's going to deal with the frozen Russian assets, the assets it froze right at the beginning of the war. And it's been renewing the freeze every six months. So yesterday they passed this law and said that those assets are going to be seized indefinitely. Immobilized is the word they like to use. I want to flag up this point in the time I have, Steve, that this illustrates the extension to which the degree to which our paladins of democracy and law and order are prepared to do outright illegal things in order to support Ukraine. It's that bad. In the final agreement that they're going to have on the 18th of December, the European Capitals are already promising Belgium, which has the majority of these frozen assets, that if Russia takes Belgium to court and Belgium loses, the other European capitals will come in and cover the costs. That's part of the actual planning now, which indicates that they know what they're doing is outright illegal. I'll go into this more on Monday. I will close my words with this, Steve. And it is a plea to the White House, to President Trump. Please revisit the position which you announced this week to devolve, if you will, the decision on US Security guarantees to Congress. Do not give Congress any voice in this whatsoever. Mr. President, please make this decision yourself and let that decision be a very firm, very clear no. Because the US Congress will go behind the back of the American people. It will trip over itself with haste to do so for obvious reasons that we've been studying for four years. Steve Guetta, social media platform of choice at Harnwell. Have a great weekend. Well, we'll see you over the weekend on Getter and back here Monday. Todd woods, give me a minute. You know the Ukraine situation as anybody help dangerous Is this what just happened? Look, what your audience needs to know is that the Europeans want a war desperately. They want a global conflict. Putting American forces or security guarantee in East Ukraine or in Ukraine at all is a tripwire to a much greater global conflict. We have forces there. They can do false flags, all kind of things. Ben Harden was exactly correct. And I would borrow a phrase from you, Steve. You know, U.S. security guarantees or U.S. forces on the ground for some kind of multinational force. How about no, we need to pull out of Ukraine completely. It's not our fight. We have plenty of problems in the Western hemisphere. And you can find me on Real El Todd Wood on X. And please tell your audience to go to CDM press a few times a day. Put us in your daily scan. Thank you. Cdm, you guys are on fire right now. And this Savannah thing, I'll have you back on Savannah. It's got to get to President Trump. Got to send the troops in to save the folks in Savannah. Thank you, sir. You bet. Take care. Sherman wouldn't burn it to the ground. The ladies of Savannah came to him and unlike Charleston and other places, Columbia, he would not burn it to the ground. They saved that a treasure. Trevor Comstock, Christmas special. What do you got for us, brother? Hey, Steve, good to see you. So, yeah, of course. I just wanted to mention we have Christmas coming up. So we are currently running our Christmas sale for 20 off all products on any one time order. So just make sure to use code Christmas at checkout for like I mentioned, 20 off any order. Also, I wanted to say that our tallow moisturizer continues to be extremely popular. Heads up. We did sell out late last week but we are now back in stock and we have our team all hands on deck to ensure orders are going out. But of course, you know, for anyone that doesn't know, the tallow is really amazing just because it's almost identical to the natural oils that you're. Your skin produces and allows, you know, the more the product to actually absorb within the skin as opposed to just sitting on top of it. And also on top of that, what's really amazing is it's just loaded with natural vitamins like the vitamin A, the D E as well as K which your skin essentially needs to stay healthy and radiant. So also a lot of questions we get is around who it's intended for. It is intended for both men and women. I use it personally every day. I love it obviously. But it also works for great in scenarios for things like eczema daily, you know, skin hydration as well as irritation. And because we pair it with the Ramenuka honey, it just has those anti inflammatory properties that really help. I want, I want everybody to be able to get to you where they go right now to get to you. Yeah, yeah. So you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com and then use code Christmas for 20 off as I had mentioned. 20 and let us know if you have any questions. 20 off and get to Trevor. Thank you, brother.

Podcast: Real America’s Voice
Host: Stephen K. Bannon
Date: December 13, 2025
This episode of The War Room centers on a sweeping critique of U.S. political and economic power structures, with a focus on the struggle between the populist MAGA movement and what Bannon calls the Republican “establishment” and “tech bros,” as well as federal institutions. Major topics include the battle over redistricting in Indiana, the impact of AI and data centers on communities, especially through land grabs of public golf courses, and fierce opposition to proposed rescheduling of marijuana at the federal level. The discussion is charged, combative, and unapologetically populist, emphasizing political mobilization and a call to arms for War Room’s audience.
Bannon’s Opening Statement (07:00):
Federal Reserve Critique
Pettit describes accelerating sales of public golf courses to data center developers, often at inflated prices due to new zoning for industrial/tech use.
He frames this as a betrayal by environmental NGOs, who previously justified the elimination of golf courses for green space but now stand by as these same lands become energy-intensive, noisy data centers.
Memorable Quote:
Pettit warns of increased utility costs and noise pollution for surrounding communities and suggests tech developers are “devouring every green space they can, including municipal golf courses.”
Allen debates the motives and consequences of Big Tech’s push towards artificial general intelligence (AGI). He insists AI’s main “objective” is to replace as many human workers as possible, threatening the social fabric and economic security of Americans.
He strongly critiques industry leaders (naming Sam Altman and David Sacks) and challenges the “inevitability” narrative around AI.
Memorable Quote:
Allen emphasizes that attempts by tech leaders to “placate” detractors are hollow, as their objectives are “diametrically opposed to ours.”
Reese details the GOP establishment’s betrayal of the MAGA-aligned Trump faction in Indiana’s Senate, with specific reference to failed redistricting that would have favored Trump’s coalition.
She reports on active efforts by Trump allies (TPUSA, Heritage Action, Club for Growth) to primary the 21 Republican senators who “stabbed Trump in the back.”
Memorable Quote:
Reese warns other GOP-controlled states (Florida, Ohio, Missouri, etc.) that failing to support Trump’s agenda will have serious consequences going into the 2026 midterms.
Notes pressure on White House due to economic discontent and worries over Trump’s focus on foreign over domestic policy.
“The Republican establishment, the ordered establishment of this country are surrounding President Trump in the MAGA movement... They see Trump as a passing summer storm.”
“The irony here, going back to these environmental, these NGOs is that the data centers are the antithesis of what these people fight for... The loss of this green space, a loss of a recreational amenity.”
“Artificial intelligence is not a force of nature... it’s human beings harnessing the forces of nature to their own ends, and their ends are diametrically opposed to ours.”
“This ends with heads on pikes. And I think that is a perfect representation of the anger you are seeing from the White House.”
“What this will do is it will basically overnight legitimize this illegal marijuana industry and it will legitimize the very cartels that, as you rightly noted, Trump is trying to destroy.”
“How about no? We need to pull out of Ukraine completely. It’s not our fight.”
| Timestamp | Segment/Topic | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------| | 07:00 | Bannon: Establishment vs. Trump/MAGA | | 12:00–18:50 | Josh Pettit: Tech/Fed Land Grabs & AI Data | | 19:10–25:00 | Joe Allen: AI, Tech Bros, Populist Backlash | | 28:00–36:20 | Reagan Reese: Indiana Redistricting Analysis | | 46:00–56:15 | Niferatos, Dr. Polling: Marijuana Rescheduling | | 56:15–58:50 | Grace Chong: Activist Calls to Action | | 01:09:00+ | Harnwell/Wood: EU Seizes Russian Assets, Ukraine|
The tone is urgent, combative, deeply partisan, and mobilizing—directed at energizing the audience around perceived threats to national sovereignty, economic security, and cultural identity. Discussions are laced with populist rhetoric and explicit calls for political action, reflecting the War Room’s established ethos.
This episode is a microcosm of the War Room’s worldview: opposition to “establishment” power-brokers (in both parties and in elite institutions), suspicion of technological overreach, rallying the populist base for the 2026 elections, and dire warnings about the consequences of compromise on issues like marijuana and foreign policy. The through line is a battle cry: “action, action, action” against perceived elite encroachment on the will and well-being of the American populace.
For listeners wanting a sense of MAGA priorities, arguments, and mobilization tactics leading into the 2026 midterms, this episode is packed with examples, strong rhetoric, and avenues for involvement.
