Texas and Oklahoma are painted as bellwethers and battlegrounds. With calls to legislative action, coordinated grassroots uprisings, and constant reminders of victories past and to come, the hosts urge listeners to stay engaged, fight “radical Islam” and “leftist infiltration,” and work to secure a Trump-led resurgence.

Transcript

[Steve Bannon]

This is an iHeart podcast, Guaranteed Human.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

So the President just wrote that Greenland is, quote, vital for the golden dome that we are building and that NATO would be far more formidable and effective with Greenland in the hands of the United States. And that he said that anything less than that is unacceptable. Again, how unacceptable? And what will he do about it? Today, Vice President J.D. vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are set to meet with the foreign ministers of Greenland and Denmark, which of which Greenland is a part.

[News Reporter]

Breaking news. President Trump holding a meeting on Iran tonight with top administration officials as anti government protests grow. The State Department warning that the first protester sentenced to death could be hanged as soon as tomorrow, which could spark more unrest. And Trump is promising to take quick, quote, very strong action against Iran if hangings happen.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

We will take very strong action if.

[Steve Bannon]

They do such a thing, when they.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Start killing thousands of people, and now you're telling me about hanging.

[Steve Bannon]

We'll see how that works out for them. It's not going to work out good.

[News Reporter]

At least 2,403 protesters have been killed in just over three weeks, according to one human rights group.

[News Correspondent]

He says the crackdown intensified dramatically on Thursday. It was just as we began getting pictures of larger crackdowns, crowds out on the streets of Iranian cities.

[Iranian Doctor]

Everything fell apart. At 8pm the Internet was cut. At 8:20, I got a call from the hospital. Doctor. Come. You must come. When I arrived, I saw what we call a mass casualty situation. Every single One of the four operating rooms was full. I was there from 10 or 11pm until the morning. I don't know how many surgeries I did, maybe 10 or 11.

[News Correspondent]

This is one of the few videos to have surfaced from inside Iran's hospitals. It shows some of the injured. But the doctor's testimony paints an even more distressing picture.

[Iranian Doctor]

From midnight Thursday onward, the type of injuries changed. The live rounds started. By Friday evening, all the beds were full. Most had pellet injuries and similar wounds.

[News Correspondent]

Throughout these and previous protests, the regime's security forces raided hospitals and hunted down injured protesters and the medical staff treating.

[Interviewer/Host]

Them.

[News Correspondent]

Turning places of healing into scenes of horror.

[Iranian Doctor]

There was so much fear. Three patients contacted me through intermediaries. I was afraid to answer, wanting to make sure it wasn't security agents trying to trap me.

[News Correspondent]

The true scale of the carnage is only just beginning to emerge. Once again, so many Iranians find themselves abandoned and alone in this nightmare.

[Iranian Doctor]

The hope being pumped by external media is not what we feel inside. Inside Iran, it's a mix of terror, desperation and a tiny flickering Shred of hope.

[Interviewer/Host]

Sam.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

These people being dragged in the street. I see. I see masked people coming up demanding papers. I see a guy sitting in a gas station parking lot and ICE officers breaking the window and then dragging him out and putting their knee on his back. I just, again, this. We went to law school, we practiced law. I. This, this, this looks, this looks like Russia. It really does. This looks like something that you would expect in Russia, that protesters. This is happening to protesters, not suspected murderers are rapists. This is what America looks like in 2025 for protesters. We always looked at what happened to the Soviet Union and looked at what happened in Putin's Russia and saw this happening to protesters there, being taken off the streets, thinking, my God, how could that ever happen in society? And I'd always ask, how could those Russian police officers do that? Well, we've got people lined up for this job to put masks on, to go in, to break people's windows, drag them out of their cars, beat up American citizens, shove them to the ground and then cuff them.

[Steve Bannon]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go.

[Interviewer/Host]

To share the big lie?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

MAGA media.

[Steve Bannon]

I wish in my soul, I wish.

[Interviewer/Host]

That any of these people had a conscience.

[Steve Bannon]

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Country, this country will be saved.

War room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[Steve Bannon]

It's Wednesday the 14th of January, year of our Lord 2026. A world on fire. And the most important fire, it's got to be put out here is Americans who have taken the side of the invaders and are trying to stop the normal process of repelling the invasion. We won an election on this in all 15, 20, 25, may you pick up. They all have to go. And you see what's happening with these white progressives in Minneapolis. And of course, the media continues to feed it, push it, et cetera. We've got an invasion also going in Texas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Islamic invasion going. And I don't know, the federal. The feds are either not focused on it and or helping it with these immigration policies. It's got to be stopped. This is why We've launched War Room Texas. We've got to stop this. We have to stop in its tracks and then reverse it or we're not going to have our country. And I understand that, you know, Iran and all these other situations. Look, the situation in Iran is terrible, but. And they had the, the shah son on Bret Baer last night and Brett Baer failed to ask him one basic question. He's talking about all the casualties in the street and killing people and shooting. Didn't that happen? Didn't his father do the exact same thing when the students were starting to overthrow the Shah? And of course, they had all type of agents in there, you know, Russian agents, other agents trying to overthrow him. Because it's a big alley in the United States and the Islamic Republic and all the, all the underground of the Islamic revolution. The people now, what 47 years later have had a belly full of. It's destroyed the country. But remember, they brought it on. They're the ones that fought. They're the ones that ran the United States, took our embassy, held them for what, over a year or two. We had to have a rate, a failed raid that I was part of, just the workup for because the whole Navy, all of our forces at the time, we weren't used to the Middle East. That just wasn't, you know, the Western Pacific, the Atlantic, the Mediterranean. We weren't, you know, didn't have the capacity, the capabilities for the Middle east from that time on. We got sucked into all of it. But when I see what's happening, streets in, in, in Tehran, it doesn't compare to what's happening in the streets of Minneapolis. And we got to clear that out and we got to start mass deportations. Yes, mass deportations in Seattle, in Portland, in Minneapolis and New York City, Chicago. Now the president says on 1 February, he's going to stop, cease all payments to sanctuary cities, to states with sanctuary cities. This is what you're going to have to do to smoke this out. Of course, I believe the government's going to be shut down next week because the Democrats are going to say we're never going to approve anything, even an interim deal that's got funding for ice. So that is the big fight that we've got on our hands. Go to Eva Vlaar Dingerbrock from Amsterdam. She's not up. Okay. We're going to try to get her. Okay. We're going to try to get her. Okay. She just got, you know, she's a frequent contributor to this show. We just Found out that. We just found out she was denied entry into the United Kingdom. They didn't give her any warning at all. She's a compatriot of kind of Gert Wilders, maybe not tied directly to his political party, but she's been an anti Islamic invasion commentator and observer for years. And there's no reason from the UK government while they are blocking her from coming to the United Kingdom. We had Gert over at this huge conference put on by Patriot Mobile and others on Friday. And in Gert, I think, talked for 40 or 50 minutes, mesmerized, telling the folks in Texas what happened, why Europe slept on the beginning years of this, of this year of this, of this invasion. And Gert held people. And people sat there and go, that's exactly what's happening in Texas. In fact, the great Peter McElveeny, who I'm gonna get on the show later in the week, Peter came over from England to warn people, hey, at the same kind of time period, you're farther advanced than the UK is for collapse. So, Eva, thank you for joining us. Please explain to people why are you denied access to go to the United Kingdom? Ma'.

[Interviewer/Host]

Am.

[Eva Vlaar Dingerbrock]

Hi, Steve, it's good to see you. I don't know. I got an email rather out of the blue from the United Kingdom government saying that my presence is not conducive to the public good of the United Kingdom. And I received that yesterday evening. I saw it this morning and the timing is suspicious. I didn't apply for an ETA right now. I came to the UK last to join the Tommy Robinson rally back in. In September. I was planning to do that again in May, but I guess not now. And just three days ago, I. I posted a tweet about Keir Starmer that I think he probably didn't like. So I'm guessing it's connected to that. But I don't know anything more than what you see in that email.

[Steve Bannon]

Let me ask you, the Tommy Robinson. Do you think it has to do that you. Your involvement with the Tommy Robinson protested? Drew? I don't know. They said a couple hundred. They said a hundred thousand looked to me like 2 million plus. And another big one scheduled for May. They fear the people, they fear Tommy Robinson. Do you think that might be one of the reasons also?

[Eva Vlaar Dingerbrock]

I'm guessing that that's the case, yes, because that protest was massive. I was there and I agree with you, just looking at it with my own eyes, you know. You know, that was closer to 2,3 million people than what the BBC said it was so, you know, the fact that they. That I was talking to Tommy just yesterday about coming to the new one in May, and now I received this email saying that I'm not welcome. I know for a fact that the phone that I'm using right now is under a mercenary spyware attack. I wouldn't be surprised if it's connected to that as well. I mean, there are many reasons, I suppose, why someone like Keir Starmer, who hates free speech, doesn't want me there. But it's a huge violation of my human rights. That's obvious.

[Steve Bannon]

Talk to us. You know, Gert came over and really had the audience mesmerized on Friday about what happened in the Netherlands where the elites, you know, exacerbated this invasion from Islamic nations and the nation really didn't wake up. Can you give us your perspective? We're about to go to Texas. When we, when we drop you, what's your warning to the United States?

[Eva Vlaar Dingerbrock]

Be vigilant now. Don't wait till it's too late. I mean, I don't want to say that it's too late for Europe, but we have a hell of a job cut out for us. We need to start active reimmigration to solve the issues that we are seeing right now. And that is a lot harder to do than to make sure that it doesn't happen to you in the first place to the degree that it has happened to us. If you want your country to survive, if you want America to exist the way that you've known it, you have to protect your country from the Muslim invasion that we are facing right now.

[Steve Bannon]

Eva, where do people follow you if you can't go to the uk You've got a big audience here in the United States that loves you and supports you. Where do people go to get on your social media, man?

[Eva Vlaar Dingerbrock]

X? Thanks to X, we have some free speech left in Europe. It's really our last bastion, let's say, because physically they're trying to do everything they can to silence us, banning me literally from speaking at rallies now. So we need the public market square online, and only X is the one that I can still voice my opinion on freely.

[Steve Bannon]

Eva, thank you so much. We'll look into this and get back to you. Something's rotten in the United Kingdom to keep a. A freedom fighter from entering the United Kingdom. Eva, thank you so much. Short commercial city council just moments ago denied a rezoning request for a new.

[News Reporter]

Mosque and retail space along Olive and the Creek Turnpike.

[Steve Bannon]

Thanks for joining us. Tonight I'm Lori Fulbright. And I'm Craig day. News On 6's Chloe Abbott is live with more on the council's decision.

[Chloe Abbott]

Chloe, Craig and Lori. The city council says the proposal did not meet the standards for the land use it's asking to rezone. The meeting turned contentious towards the end and one city councilor called for public comment to end. Some people started yelling and had to be removed from the room and many left on their own. After a nearly four hour meeting the city City council voted four to one to deny the rezoning request. One counselor said this isn't about freedom of religion but about the facts. That counselor said the project isn't acceptable for the currently in use at all of in the Creek Turnpike. Earlier in the meeting, the architect behind the proposal assured the council their plan followed all of the proper requirements and regulations. The Islamic Society of Tulsa said it needed a second location other than the mosque in midtown Tulsa because of overcrowding issues and half of its members already live in BA. An estimated 1300 people showed up to this meeting tonight. 440 people signed up to speak but city council said they were allowed to stop the meeting when they felt like they had enough information to make a decision. And council again voted to deny this request 4 to 1. And we will be hearing from the Islamic Society of Tulsa on what their next move is.

[Steve Bannon]

Okay, welcome back. We are Peter Navarro is going to follow Brian Harrison. I got Representative Brian Harrison from the Texas House is going to join us here in a moment just to lay out the battle map for you. We are, I'm highly confident we're now we're going to win the midterms, the economy, the economic numbers are actually going to be quite good and could be on fire. And then the Democrats are going to get more desperate. You're going to see more Minneapolises because this is their last stand. They're going to get more violent, they're going to get more crazed. They're going to get more anti American. Remember when you cut Minneapolis down to its core what it is. They don't want illegal aliens removed from the country. Why? The business model you see in the Somalian and all the all the graft and corruption but that's how the business model finances itself off of your money source. Those guys put in kind of starter prime the pump cash but the real money comes from you. That can't be broken up. And that's what Morning Joe and CNN just non stop. This is what they're defending. They will not let federal authorities actually remove the 15 to 20 million illegal alien invaders. So we have to have a, a conversation than a commitment that that has to be the number one priority has to be the sovereignty of our nation. And what you're seeing down in Texas, here's the reason I am one. Why are we doing war room Texas? Why are we putting such a maniacal focus on this between now and March? This has to be done. You see what's going on. Last night the federal government, President Trump designated three parts of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations in Egypt, in Jordan and in Lebanon. Now interestingly missing from that was Qatar and Turkey. Well, Qatar and Turkey happen to be. And this is where Tel Aviv live in and all the Israel first guys, this is what you brought on him. They're all in Gaza financing the Gaza rebuild and gonna be the security force in Gaza with the foothold in Israel proper. They need to be, if anybody needs to be designated as a center and hotbed of the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization is Qatar, which is the road. The financing in Erdogan's entire move to reestablish the caliphate is all the plan of the Muslim Brotherhood. But what you're seeing here is so powerful. What happened in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma is the people in this United States citizens saying it's not going to happen here. It's not going to happen. We're not going to besmirch the memory of all those tough people that came before us and built what we have today and bequeathed this to us, that we're going to make it better and bequeath it to our children and grandchildren. So back to every patriot's grave, the great state of Oklahoma, that we're going to let it be besmirched by an Islamic invasion by radical Islam. And yes, it's radical Islam. Let's be blunt. They put a nicer face on it, but it's radical Islam. It's tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and care. And the folks in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, I think with 1300 showed up for the planning committee, 500 signed up to speak to get in front of that microphone and give it to me. I'm going to show you my agency. This is what we have to do. This is the populous uprising. Only top down. You need bottom up. And man, you give me bottom up with the MAGA and war room posse, there's nothing that can beat you. This is my point about the seven national elections that we've had. Excuse me, eight national elections since Trump came on the scene in 2015. Presidential primaries, presidential elections in off Year, basically. National elections for the House, eight, and we've won seven. This is why they're trying to crush you. This is why they're trying to destroy Trump. This is why they threw me in prison. This is why they tried to assassinate Trump. They understand this populist nationalist uprising cannot be beaten. And we're not going to be beaten this November. Our objective now, not just to hold, but to add, but with a real agenda. And don't worry about Polly Pockets and Johnson, the Duma. That's all irrelevant. What they're talking about in run around, they're totally irrelevant. It's to make sure they can't stop the Trump revolution. I can't say enough about the folks outside of Tulsa and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. You have shown the way, the way for this country to turn it around and for the folks in the great state of Texas to basically get on it and fight it. Brian Harrison, you've been at the tip of this. I want to talk about your letter. But first, Governor Abbott has designated in a hat tip to him. He did designate the Muslim Brotherhood and CARE as a terrorist organization, which is kind of mind bending given the fact that he's not the most aggressive guy in the world. It also shows you how far this thing has gone, because even he says, I got to get ahead of this. And remember, he's got access to the intelligence division of DPS of the Texas Rangers Department of Public Security. So. And I said, this is converging. This is. This is a. We're converging forces onto a spot. This is warfare that spots March 3rd. And that's what's on the ballot to ban Sharia law from the state of Texas, Proposition 10. But you've got two other things going. Number one is the work with Governor Abbott in the executive branch to put some meat on the bone about exactly what we're going to do on the Muslim Brotherhood and care. And the other is the legislative to have hearings first and then to call a special session, just like you called a special session for the redistricting call a special session and then codify what you find out in the hearings. So first of all, tell me about this letter. You've now sent an official letter about the hearings. What is it, how is it? And how can we help in the war in posse to make this thing, to make sure that we start having hearings down in Texas? Because I tell you what, they can't take public hearings. Public hearings will be explosive. Will be explosive. So, Brian, what do you got for us?

[Brian Harrison]

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I want to highlight you talking about bottom up, the only real conservative successes we have down here in Texas. We where the corrupt liberal establishment unit party has, you know, sold Texans liberty down the river for far too long, especially in the Texas House, where people are shocked to learn the radical Democrats still control the leadership in the Texas House. I mean, the Democrats pick our speaker. So the successes we're seeing, including, by the way, the governor who Absolutely Governor Abbott, did the 100% the right thing with those bold and courageous declarations on the Muslim Brotherhood and care. But what that really speaks to is an uprising of the grassroots people, patriots who love our state, who love our country, who know that our freedoms that we cherish are worth preserving, that they are worth fighting for. And the elected Republicans in Austin had better get their heads out of the sand and start taking bold action. And I would be remiss, by the way, Stephen, if I didn't tip my hat to my fellow comrades, you know, patriots in arms, up in Broken Arrow. I just want to tell you directly, on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of Texans that I directly represent, and then the millions of Texans that I know that I speak, speak for. We in Texas are with you as you rise up and stand up against the spread of these violent Islamists and jihadists and Sharia communities. We are with you as to the letter, Stephen, this is super important. So I wrote a formal request because the Texas legislature is not planning to meet at all this year. Do nothing official this year. That means the first time, unless we change something, that the Texas government could stand up and do anything bold. It would be next year, 2027, before we even debate ways to tackle this problem. And then most likely couldn't even be until the end of 27 into 28 or 29 before action. And I'm sorry, Texans voted for bold Republican leadership. They deserve bold Republican leadership. Further delay is unacceptable. And I go further. I think further delay from the Texas government is tantamount to acquiescence to the left. So here's what we need to do right now. We need to call emergency interim legislative oversight hearings, do our constitutional oversight. Let's look into the basics. Here is the Texas government funding groups that have nexus to radical, violent terror organizations that advocate the violent overthrow of the Texas government and the United States government. There's a lot of evidence that points to absolutely, we are. We've got to do better oversight because, you know, our governor and other elected officials have said that Texas has banned Sharia law. The problem is we haven't. All we did was tweak one or two things in the family Code. Well, if that's what we're saying is a ban on Sharia law, it's not. But if it is, why is it only in the family Code? Let's hold hearings and put that. Those prohibitions on the way these. These judicial courts that are making decisions based on foreign law, which. Why is that happening in Texas? We should apply that prohibition to all of the Texas code. And then here's. A lot of your viewers are aware of this Epic City, this big Sharia compound that's being built here in North Texas. We did pass a law to ban Epic City. You're ready for the problem with the law to ban Epic City that everyone down here in Austin talks about. We exempted Epic City from the law that's supposed to ban Sharia compounds like Epic City. So we've got a lot more work to do because the people of Texas, they don't want rhetoric. They're sick of rhetoric. They're sick of gaslighting. They want results. And then as to these terrorist designations, let's have a special session. Bring us back right now. Let's pass the bills that I'm talking about. Let's pass the new legislation based on the oversight hearings that we have to have, and then bring us back to for a special session in 2026. Let's not wait till 2027. Let's not wait till 2028. We're adding two new mosques at least every month here in the state of Texas. We have two functioning Sharia tribunals right in my backyard, one in Irving, one in Dallas. Let's not wait. Let's confront this problem head on. And you talked about the generations that came before us that paid the ultimate price so that we can talk here on television so that our children can. Can enjoy the blessings of freedom and of prosperity. If the generations that came before us were willing to pay the ultimate price, then the least that elected Republicans in Texas can do is stand up, speak the truth, even if the truth makes you unpopular. Tell the people the truth, and then let's act on it. We've got a nation to save. We've got a country to save, and Texas is on the front lines.

[Steve Bannon]

Hang on one second, Brian. Hold you through the break. Brian Harrison and Peter Navarro next.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, stephen k. Band.

[Steve Bannon]

Brian Harrison, call to action. So I know you got a bounce call to action today because I have never seen a more overwhelming response than the conference we put on on Friday or Patriot Mobile put on in, in various 22 grassroots groups that they put on in two weeks time over Christmas holidays. Then you see what happened in Broken Arrow. People are fired up on this because they see in their own cities and counties, their own neighborhoods, this invasion taking place. And they're not going to have it. I'm telling you, they're not going to have it. You're about to see how tough as boot leather Texans are and how much they love their state, which as a Virginian, I'm the first to say they're the jewel and the crown of the union. As goes Texas, so goes the nation. As goes the nation, so goes the world. Call to action. Sir, before you punch.

[Brian Harrison]

Yeah, absolutely. People are seeing the videos and the photos coming out of Europe and the result of unchecked mass migration. Their eyes of Texans are opening like, like I've never before seen it. We used to talk, you know, don't, don't California, my Texas. But people are actually shifting, seeing what's going on here in this new. I'm hearing more people say don't Sharia my Texas. And I fully support that. The Texas government's got to act. So if you're a patriot right now and anywhere in the country country, what happens in Texas, I promise you it affects you no matter what state you live in. Join our call to action. Demand that the speaker of the Texas House, the Texas government, we do not wait another one year, two year or three year for action. So there's two things. Number one, if you're in Texas, you show up and you vote in the March 3 Republican primary. We are going to have Sharia law language on the ballot. Make sure you show up and vote to tell the elected officials in Texas that you oppose Sharia law within our borders. And the Texas government's got to do more to do that. Number two, call the number that I think you guys are going to put on the screen. Call the speakers of the Texas House. Let the elected officials in Texas know that they have it within their power right now to expose this threat, to craft solutions and to pass laws by holding interim hearings and that the governor can't, can and should call us back this year, 2026. Let's pass these bold laws and then back full circle. Make sure you show up and vote starting February 17, not just for the Sharia proposition, but the Austin uniparty swamp is doing everything they can to silence the bold voices for liberty like myself. They've got two Rhinos who hate President Trump, who want to tear down the border wall and do all the things that the radical leftists want to do. So please show up and vote. Support conservatives like myself, vote for the Sharia language on the Republican Party ballot and then demand that we have interim hearings and special sessions and take bold actions this year. 2026.

[Steve Bannon]

The number is 512463 1000. Speaker of the Texas House, make sure you call today and say you want the hearings asap. Brian Harrison, we're going to Grace and Mo are going to push out to the force multipliers your letter. So thank you very much for joining us, sir. Appreciate it.

[Brian Harrison]

It was great to be with you, Steve. God bless you.

[Steve Bannon]

President Trump designated the State Department, Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, the chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood just waiting on TUR and Qatar. Governor Abbott did it all. Designate the Muslim Brotherhood and cares terrorist organization. Got to put some meat on that bone. Investigations, prosecutions, all of it, full spectrum. I want to give a hat tip once again. Hopefully I'm going to get some of the broken arrow people on the war room Texas show on Thursday at 6. By the way, the overwhelming support and the force multiplier pushing the show, it's been overwhelming. So let's keep it top of the first inning. Let's just keep grinding this Proposition 10 on the ballot in Texas on the 3rd of March, early voting on the 17th. Dr. Peter Navarro, one of the senior advisors to the president United States and has been for over a decade now, joins us. Dr. Navarro, just, you know, he gave this great speech at the, at the Detroit Economic Club and I want to just bifurcate out the populist policies. President Trump's on top of that. You gave us a heads up the other day versus the just the math about the economic turnaround from the disaster of the Biden regime. Just walk me through it. Your case of why. I can see it. I can feel it. I talked to guys on Wall Street, I talked to guys that are building plant and equipment. You can see it happening. But I want you to just take a minute and walk us through the economic turnaround that's going to drive us through the summer and the midterm elections.

[Interviewer/Host]

Steve, nothing's going to be more important than that issue. You're all over it. The White House and President Trump are all over it. Remember, the ethos of the Trump administration going back to the first term is to make sure that real wages for our MAGA folks, blue collar folks, are rising because whenever wages go up faster than inflation, people are better off. They can't afford more things. So that's what we have in our sights. So that's number one. Number two, Biden caused inflation. Trump cures inflation. That's our second mantra. And if you look at virtually any of the components of the cpi, you can trace that directly to Biden policies. And so what? President Trump is systematically at the micro level undoing all of these macro effects. So whether it's housing or energy prices, latest credit card debt, he's going at it now. Let me just give you a couple of, couple of things. For example, mortgage backed securities, he ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $200 billion of those. What's that mean? It's a quarter to a half point on the mortgage rate, a couple hundred bucks a month on a lot of, lot of mortgages. He's banning large institutional investors, the hedge funds. These guys come in, they buy single family homes, they do it in a day. They don't. It's like they drive prices down in that market and then drive prices up in the rents. It's an astonishing effect. The boss is all over that. And then the third thing is, and I love this statistic for the war room, it's like 1 million illegal aliens, 1% increase in rents, 20 million illegal aliens. Under Joe Biden's open border policy, 20% rise in rates. Right on him. And that's just the national average. When you know that it's concentrated primarily in the blue and sanctuary states, you understand why rents are off the charts there. It's Biden's policy. And then the irony, Steve, it's like mom dummy and Newsom and Pritzker, they all try to blame Trump for higher housing costs, which is just crazy. Plus we're also handling it by undoing the regulatory problems at the local and state level. Gas, Steve. Look, gasoline and energy prices, Drill, baby, drill, certainly. But there's a very interesting twist on the Venezuelan heavy oil that we're going to be buying per an agreement that the President just signed. Why does that matter? It turns out that these bespoke refineries, these customized refineries along primarily our Gulf coast were built originally for heavier crude. And when the fracking generation came along, that's light crude, and it really made those refinings less efficient. So even if we get a few hundred thousand barrels of oil from Venezuela, then that allows us to kind of leaven the loaf there at the refineries. Gas prices, diesel prices come down, credit cards, I mean, look, the Mafia, the mafia is envious of MasterCard and Visa for the amount of interest rates they can charge on debt and It's a debt trap, Steve. It's like the Chinese Communist Party equivalent at the credit card level where they hand out credit cards like candy to anybody. They don't do their due diligence. And now they're whining somehow that if you cap interest rates at 10% on debt, somehow that's going to hurt the little guy. No, it hurts their business model, Steve. So these are the things that President Trump is doing across all of the problems we're having with Biden's legacy inflation. We're getting it done, sir.

[Steve Bannon]

In all this, you know, you had the big beautiful bill for the supply side tax cut for the factories and the capital equipment. You've had. You've been his chief advisor as he architects the redoing of all the commercial relationships. We're kind of on tenterhooks, waiting for the Supreme Court to come back on that. But the report is that in all of that and in you guys particularly, being very focused on what private equity and the hedge funds and Wall street have done in coordination with the Chinese Communist Party to ship all manufacturing over there, which you're trying to reverse our historical trend, the reported number for the all the trade deficit. We have a trade deficit that's shrinking, right, because you've got exports up, imports down. The Chinese Communist party just announced 2025 number, a $1 trillion trade surplus. How does that fit in? What does that mean as far as what you and President Trump and the administration are trying to accomplish as far as setting things right? Because until we get the trade deficit down dramatically, because I think the cumulative is like a $22 trillion trade deficit. Until we get that down, we're really not going to be the manufacturing superpower we should be.

[Interviewer/Host]

Sir, let me unpack this. First of all, the annual trade deficit in goods has fallen from $300 billion in the last year of Biden with China, which projected, when we get the final numbers in, to be about 240. That's significant. And that's the kind of thing we're seeing with the trade report just a few days ago, where we had our lowest trade deficit since 2009. Now, the trillion dollars you mentioned, Steve, is with the rest of the world plus the United States. So we're roughly 25% of China's deficit that they hold with the world. And what China has been doing as they been facing our tariff wall is that they've been dumping all of their goods around the rest of the world and they're basically destabilizing the international trade system and why that's good ultimately for us and I'm including the rest of the world there is that it is basically a call to action in Europe, in Mexico, in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam to basically adopt similar protections against China. So this is a work in progress. The one thing China should do but won't do is boost their consumption by boosting, by reducing their savings rate by giving the Lao Baijing health care and pension plans that will give them some kind of assurance. Steve it's remarkable, remarkable that a communist country has some of the worst pension and healthcare benefits around the world. Okay, it's like crazy stuff. So you get like savings rates in excess of 50% for Chinese citizens allowed by Jin. They don't buy any of our stuff, any stuff around the world. And so China maintains its predatory model. So these are the kinds of statistics which we're well aware of. And ultimately what President Trump is trying to do is defend our manufacturing base, our supply chains, our defense industrial base against the predation not just of China, but of much of the rest of the world which cheats us by rule. Steve by absolute WTO World Trade Organization rule the rest of the world can charge us higher tariffs and higher non tariff barriers and screw us in six different other ways. And President Trump says no mas, no more reciprocal tariffs in and that's kind of where, where all this aircraft carrier is going.

[Steve Bannon]

To. April 2025 was Liberation Day. Dr. Navarro Social media where you're putting up these clips, you're writing op EDS all over the place. These daily clips are amazing. We got about 30 seconds. Where do people go to get all your content, Sir?

[Interviewer/Host]

Central Peter Navarre.com PeterNavara.com that'll get you to my ex getter truth social substack and Instagram and the videos are really I think important messaging documents there Really I break this stuff down in 60 seconds everything time. President Trump does something to basically increase wages or reduce the inflation rate growth. It's up there. So have at it. Keep doing what you're doing. Steve November looms and we got to, we got to win that we can't let them beat up on a crisis they created.

[Steve Bannon]

Thank you sir.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

[Steve Bannon]

So punchbowls put out the daily schedule. The President's going to sign have a signing ceremony at 2pm I imagine have a a press avail too. I believe that the hasn't been officially announced but I believe that this is going to part of the signing ceremony. At least one of them is going to be around Rare Earths and critical minerals. Something that Secretary Besant remember he chaired that meeting the other day on Monday that Secretary Bessant and Peter Navarro and Jameson Greer, the trade, the trade czar, all of it have been working on. I believe it's going to be a very important document in rare earths. So you've got several things going on obviously simultaneously. One is to re kickstart the American economy away from what Biden did which is this massive federal spending that got the debt so out of control. My concern right now in gold is that silver hit 90 bucks last night. Gold is going to be an all time high. It looks like gold's going to blow through. $5,000. Think about that gold, $5,000 an ounce. You've been with this show a while. Several years ago we started Birch Co. I think it was $1000 or 1100 an ounce. Also the market's up. Bond market's in shape. The, you know this could have massive implications for the US dollar. We try to teach you about this and this is why End of the dollar empire go to birchgold.com, promo code Bannon endothedollar Empire. You now with a qualifying investment or purchase of physical gold you can get a signed copy. I'm signing these things every day to make sure that the Warren posse gets it. You're going to really love the hard copy of the book. What we've done in putting the online courses that we put up are installments we put up so that you can understand what's going on. It's not the price though. The price has skyrocketed both for gold and silver in the last couple of years. We keep telling you it's not the price, it's the process. Understand the pattern recognition and I think it's very, very important that you guys understand that fully. You can see in the economy the Trump plan is working. This is why they're getting crazier and crazier. Why am I enthusiastic about the midterm elections? Everybody else is kind of doom and gloomy. Is that number one, we are going to have a re energizing on the, on the redistricting in Florida. I think Florida's going to give us another three seats. I think there's a couple of others out there we can pick up. And I see that there's a policy set that could play very well for us. Particularly the fact that the left is getting crazier and crazier now that they can't point to affordability, they can't point to anything. On the economy. Because remember, I told people, don't fall into the affordability trap. President Trump says it's a made up term, but don't fall in the affordability trap. Clearly inflation is an issue, but that issue is brought on by Biden. President Trump stopping the rate of growth, getting inflation under control. But it's going to be economic growth, it's going to be jobs and it's going to be wages. And you've got a plan to deal with that. And you can start to see the green sprouts of that right now. And as the Democrats lose that as a, as a talking point, right, as a political talking point, they're gonna get crazier and crazy. You see what is in Minnesota, they're defending the stealing of your money. We're gonna try to get, I think David Hoch on either tonight or tomorrow to drill down even in the expanded investigation into Minnesota. And Minnesota is just a kind of a proxy or it's a example of how the whole system works. This is why President Trump just said, hey, on the 1st of February, if you're a sanctuary city, you're not getting any more cash from the federal government, something I've argued for for a long time. And that's specifically to target California and New York, in Chicago and Illinois. You guys are big talkers. Let's see what we do. When you cut off the federal money, this is one of the reasons of the hard work. Folks are going to Texas. They showed at the briefings on Friday, Thursday and Friday, I might add. We were down Thursday and Friday. The briefings were shocking in the fact of what they talked about, of the state and federal government. There's a number now we haven't totally been able to get arms, but $4 billion in state and federal money have gone into expanding these Islamic centers and these schools under the school choice that are Islamic schools. We're also going to get to the bottom of this whole school choice initiative in Texas. Why was it the most important thing under Abbott? Why was it just absolutely so important? It was the highest priority. In fact, he would talk to the president and said, hey, if you can help me get school choice across, I can deliver redistricting, I can do all this other stuff. Why was that? Because this school choice, which at one time was kind of the salvation of the school system, is a way that the Islamists get into the system and get their schools financed. They have to understand they should take me at our word. You're getting stopped and it's getting rolled back and you're going to get out. Not. The people in Texas are not going to have to worry. Do I have to walk on eggs? Do I have to? Do I have to? Do I have to not. Is this not going to be Texas? Because all sudden we have a massive importation of Islamism. No, no, no, no, no. That's not going to happen. You saw a broken arrow. Those people are patriots and heroes. 1100, 1300 show up at a planning session for, for, you know, a board of supervisors. And 500 this. 500 sign up to talk. Give me that microphone. Don't give it a what for. They had to cut it off because they had the votes. That, that is an example of how we win. You engage the American people in this fight. We're going to win. We're going to win because we have to win. You don't have an alternative. And this is going to be one of the driving motive forces with a couple of other issues that we're going to get to one at a time that we're going to get to that are going to drive the 26 midterms. I can see the 26 midterms clearer than the 24 presidential election or 22. You guys have been along for the ride. You know what we did here, you know what you did here, how we helped to kind of lay the framework. I can see it, and I can see that we're going to go into a very dangerous time in American political life, American social life. Just look at what's happened. Look at the videos. See what you see. See what they're doing in Minneapolis. See what they're doing to law enforcement officers and see what they're doing to ICE agents whose simple job is to remove the illegal alien invaders. We have, I don't know, 15 million more to go. These are the people that not just allowed, that wanted to have those invaders because that's their model. They need illegal aliens voting. This is why they don't claim the voter rolls. They need it. So then they get on the welfare, which is not checked by anybody in Congress. Nobody does the due diligence. So Mike Johnson, instead of running around, it's why your committees. Tom Emmer is now talking this, talking about why didn't he do it at the time. It's all got to go. It's got to be reversed or you're not going to have a country. It has to happen now. There's no delay in this. It's now. This is the moment. And I can tell you one thing. The MAGA movement, the war room posse and the working class people out there, they can meet the moment and they're going to meet the moment. Your greatest victories, and you've had so many great victories. You've won seven of eight national elections. Your greatest triumphs are all ahead of you.
