The really important word to use here is impunity. In other words, the Trump administration appears to have given these masked thugs who are now in the streets of so many American cities a sense that they can do whatever they want and no one can stop.
Left-wing Activist
If it was the intention of Donald Trump to make an example of Minnesota, then I'm damn proud of the example that the world's seeing. We believe in law and order in this state. We believe in peace, and we believe that Donald Trump needs to pull these 3,000 untrained agents out of Minnesota before they kill another person. And we're up here telling another story of a Minnesotan just trying to live their life without the interference.
Chi Osse (New York City Council Member)
Out I. Come on.
Jack Posobiec
I know you have been.
Steve Bannon
Horrified, as many people have, by what's been happening with ICE in Minneapolis. Do you worry that Donald Trump would try to do something similar here in New York City? And if he does, what do you do about it? I think just to first take a moment about Minneapolis. It is horrific what we have seen there. And I think that there are too many Americans who are being asked to not believe their own eyes, not believe their own ears, not believe their own realities.
Dave Brat
And people want to hear the truth.
Steve Bannon
They want to see the truth. And that's why I described that as a murder. Because there's no other way to watch that video and come to a different conclusion. And, and we know that the fear that so many are living with in Minneapolis, it's a fear that New Yorkers are also living with a fear of being terrorized. And I will do everything in my power to ensure that we do not see that take place in New York City. And I've also said clearly to the President that these ICE raids, they are cruel, they are inhumane, they do nothing to serve the interests of public safety.
Left-wing Activist
This has become part of the disgusting White House cover up of these killings. They said the same thing about Renee Goode. They really think the American people are stupid. I mean we can all see the videotapes. We saw the videotapes with Renee Goode. We've seen the videotape today with Alex Preddy. It is clear that Stephen Miller in this White House are engaged in a cover up.
Steve Bannon
And it's criminal to try to cover up a killing like this.
Left-wing Activist
Look, the reality is that the real domestic terrorists, they're in the White House right now. They're people like Stephen Miller, they're people like Donald Trump. They're the ones who are terrorizing the community. These communities having nothing to do with public safety.
Cam Higby
Yesterday, investigative journalist Can Higby began releasing information obtained after infiltrating the Minneapolis Ice Watch signal chat conversations. And the information that he has found and released to the public is absolutely incredible. He began by releasing screen recordings of their members list. And investigators over on X have been taking that list and researching who these people are when they've decided to use their real names. We're talking about local politicians, we're talking about national journalists and yes, even people connected directly to Governor Walz himself. Local politicians like Audran Chowdhury, a St. Paul City Council member. And at the state level, people like Brad Tapke, a Minnesota state representative. Sergio Martinez, a national correspondent for NPR, Hwa Jong Kim, another St. Paul councilwoman. Others have also been identified. Local politician David Snyder has been identified as one of the admins in the anti ice signal organization. Minnesota state candidate Anita Smithson also identified as a dispatcher. And it is now believed that this person, Amanda Noel Kohler, may in fact be the ringleader of what appears to be a very sophisticated, very well funded organized crime operation. And here she is smiling with Governor Twinkle Toes Sparkle Fingers as a political strategist for his campaign. You know who else is found in these signal chat conversations? Renee Good and Alex Pretty. Two people who have lost their lives when conducting domestic terror tactics under the supervision of this organization. So what else did Cam Higme discover? Well, it appears as though they had direct access to the national license plate identification network, which can only be obtained with cooperation through law enforcement or somebody embedded in law enforcement that has access to that database. They also know the exact timing movements of law enforcement and shift changes. Information that can also, again, only be learned when you have people embedded in law enforcement. So you've got local politicians, you've got national media, you've got coordination with local law enforcement, and you have a connection directly to the governor's office. So now I understand why the Department of Justice has been demanding records through subpoenas to a grand jury of St. Paul, Minneapolis, the governor's office, the attorney General's office, and the mayors of those two cities, and local prosecutors. Does the Department of Justice already know the detailed level of sophistication this organization is operating under? And are they looking for additional information so that they can start making arrests? And just think about it. All of this organization, all of this money, all of this insurrection, simply because one person walked into a state and found billions of dollars of Frau.
Jack Posobiec
You.
Chi Osse (New York City Council Member)
Oh, yeah, oh, back up, back up.
Progressive Commentator
Those offices are above the law. Then anyone can be targeted. And that is what creates fear, a kind of terror, whatever word it is that you want to use. And that feeling is how you get people to. More people to disobey the law. It's how you get people to stay home during elections. It's how you get people to become not citizens, but passive subjects of a regime. This, again, is something we know from the past.
Left-wing Activist
And we believe that Donald Trump needs to pull these 3,000 untrained agents out of Minnesota before they kill another person. And we're up here telling another story of a Minnesotan just trying to live their life without the interference. I ask you not to stand by, idly speak out, share what you're seeing, and urge others to put politics aside. We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody's going to write that children's story about Minnesota. And there's one person who can end this.
Jack Posobiec
Now.
Progressive Commentator
Remember, this is what is supposed to happen when you use. When you create spectacles of violence, when you dehumanize the victims, blame the victims. When you celebrate the aggression of people who are acting lawlessly. The point of doing that is. Is to make very broad circles of people afraid in order to give you more control, to make sure that you are in charge of what happens next. Politically it's profoundly un American. It's never happened before at the level of the federal government, at least not at this scale. And it's really important that all Americans are aware of it, understand what's happening, and mentally prepare themselves to. To fight back.
Chi Osse (New York City Council Member)
I'm New York City Council member Chiyo Sei. I represent Bed Stuy and Crown Heights in the city council. And while we're calling to abolish ice, that most certainly is not enough. We need Nuremberg trials for the people of ice, for the people who are committing crimes against humanity here in our country. I refuse. I refuse to call them law enforcement. They are agents of chaos. They are destroying the fabric of our country. We move further than calling to abolish ice, something that many of our leaders in the Democratic Party are still afraid to do. I don't want to hear about reforming ice. I don't want to hear about training these ICE agents. We need to abolish ice. What do we want and why do we want it?
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. 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.
Left-wing Activist
And where do people like that go to share the big lies?
Steve Bannon
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.
Jack Posobiec
War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
Steve Bannon
Monday the 26th of January year of our Lord 2026. Now you see what a color revolution looks like when it comes to the street of America in Minneapolis is just the center of an outright revolution. Highly organized, highly financed, with our enemies, the Chinese Communist Party in back of this, but Soros, many other groups, highly organized, as sophisticated as what they did against our troops in Baghdad during the, during the, the insurgency there in, in. During the Iraq war. This is highly sophisticated. Under no circumstances can we de. Escalate. Under no circumstances can we blink. President Trump has sent Tom Homan to Minneapolis to take field command of what is going on and to work with Bovino to make sure that he continues to get, as President Trump says, the criminal aliens out. Of course, he did say last night in a true social that there's tens of millions of criminal Aliens. So his terminology is like ours, all of them here are criminals and they all have to go home. Jack Posobuk joins us by phone. Jack, we got a minute or two here from James o' Keefe to Cam Higby to Special Forces operators. They're talking about how highly organized, sophisticated, well financed this color revolution is in the streets of Minneapolis. We got about a minute, sir, your thoughts? We'll hold you through the break.
Steve Robinson
Steve. Look, Kevin, my brother, he's been on the field there in the ground for the last three weeks. We're dealing with a well financed, well organized and trained activated communist insurgency.
Steve Bannon
100%. This is why I can't, you cannot de escalate. You cannot blink. You cannot if you blink or de escalate. And I want to make sure the audience has got all the names of the Republican of the Republican Party operatives and politicians saying, oh, you got to de escalate. This is the reason that we're at this inflection point. The Republican Party has been controlled opposition for decade after decade after decade. The very people that are counseling President Trump to de escalate are the very people that allowed this to happen and the same people that are still funding this on Capitol Hill. Remember this, the appropriations bill going through has still much as I think $6 billion still for the refugee resettlement program, the same program we got the Somalians in Idaho, got them in Minneapolis and throughout the country en masse in groups, in clusters so they can steal with both hands of the same time vote. We are breaking the business model of the enemies of this country in Minneapolis. Everything the mainstream media is saying about this is a lie and Marxist spin. Jack Posobics with us. Dave Brat. We're gonna have, we're gonna load this up this morning. Focus on the color revolution in the streets of Minneapolis. Short commercial break Back in the War in a moment.
Jack Posobiec
I got a American babe.
Steve Bannon
In America's heart.

Chi Osse (New York City Council Member)
New York City Council member Chi O say and I represent Bed Stuy and Crown Heights in the City Council. And while we're calling to abolish ice, that most certainly is not enough. We need Nuremberg trials for the people of ice. For the people who are committing crimes against humanity here in our country. I refuse. I refuse to call them law enforcement.

We move further than calling to abolish ice, something that many of our leaders in the Democratic Party are still afraid to do. I don't want to hear about reforming ICE. I don't want to hear about training these ICE agents. We need to abolish ICE. And why do we want it?
Steve Bannon
Okay, 15 million minimum. Illegal aliens, invaders here and right there you saw a city council member of Minnesota. That's what you're dealing with. And you got fry City council members like that waltz. They have their. They've stood down the police force, they've stood down the National Guard. They had a National Guard in a ritual humiliation evolution like the Red Guards used to do during the Cultural Revolution. They had them in the little yellow vests like you have the workers on the highway or the sanitation workers. It put him all in yellow vest and had him handing out coffee and donuts to protesters. These rioters, these trained activists and these folks are not from Minneapolis. There are some from there, but this is an army. They've brought in of highly trained, highly organized black block, antifa etc to basically bring the Marxist revolution to the streets of America. This is why you cannot de escalate. Any politician, any Republican politician that the word de escalate comes across his lips, you'd know he's on their side. He's one of these guys in the middle. And the guys in the middle are exactly why the nation is where it is. It's exactly why this was funded for years, is exactly why a lot of this crap is still in the is still in the appropriations bill. So you're paying for the destruction of your own country. Just embrace that. This morning, Jack Bosobic, you researched and wrote a book about these Marxist revolutions called Unhuman. You know this as well as anybody. Plus you've been in the streets fighting antifa for over a decade. Your thoughts on what's going on today, and particularly there, because that's what they want. It's not just. They just don't want the, the ICE guys to stand out. They understand once you stand down, they're going to win and it's going to lead to Nuremberg trials. Jack Posobec Steve well, look, we've been.
Steve Robinson
Running, and yes, we wrote the book, 2024 came out all about the communist insurgencies that have gone on in other countries. Been running operations now in Minneapolis through Human Events and other groups for the last couple of weeks. And what we're seeing is no different, but we are seeing is more a higher level of sophistication. These are insurgent tactics that you would see on the battlefield of Fallujah, the battlefield of Kabul. Over in the Middle east, you're seeing these. They've got spotters up, Steve, on street corners. They've got. Look at the hotel last night. So the hotel, they've got people inside the hotel. Lobbies stand out throughout the city, waiting to see when ICE officers, when border patrol that have been surged into the city, finding out where they are. Then they radio back to their team members, let them know this is command and control elements. They're using operational security, comm security, they are tracking. They have a database of which, by the way, a lot of people have asked questions about. They have a database of license plates that many people are saying seems as though they have had some access, potentially even to Minnesota law enforcement databases. And there's some serious questions. Cam Higby was able to infiltrate these signal chats, which, by the way, this communist insurgent, Alex Preddy was a member of, that. They've got information in these databases that seems to be law enforcement information. So there's a real question as to whether or not there are people within the government of Minnesota, city government of Minneapolis, who may be involved in this insurgency. And guess what? That's the exact same thing that we saw with the blue on.
Steve Bannon
Yeah, we just lost Jack for a minute. Jack's out. I think he went to the. I think went to the Adams funeral. We'll try to get Jack back up in a second. Dave Brat. Yes, of course. Cam Higby and others are showing that there are members of law enforcement they're members of the government, they're doing license plate runs, they've got access to the license plate. They're members of the corporations, they're members of the hotels that are tipping off. This is what this riot was outside last night when they laid siege to the hotel, to the restaurants. You have people inside the companies, you have people inside the governments. This is the infiltration you have.
Jack Posobiec
Right.
Steve Bannon
As any Marxist organization will tell you, it all comes from. There's a, you know, I think there was a book out there, there's a course that has taught these people Lenin's Pathway to Revolution. The pathway Revolution. It tells you all the pieces that have to come into, have to come into being. So this is why it's not. People just think this is about oh, some local protesters and the little five year old boy. It's not about that. It's not about that. This is a color revolution. This is the overthrow of the American Republic. You're seeing it right there. This is a replay. They, they had their spring training in the summer of love in Minnesota. They're much better financed, much better organized. They have hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars coming out of Shanghai, the Shang Shanghai military intelligence group with Jody Evans, the co founder of Code Pink. Actually I guess she's the founder of Code Pink who was Andrew Breitbart's mortal enemy for years and years and years as Andrew Breitbart went up against those guys every day. I made that film with Andrew, Occupy Unmasked, all about Andrew Breitbart's research in this very topic. And that was back in 2000. We made that in 2011 and 2012. Dave, Brett, your thoughts about coin? This is why politicians are stepping up there. Oh you need to pull them out. You need to de escalate. This is why the left thinks the Republican party in the conservative Inc. Are weak. Are weak. Are fake and gay as young kids say, are weak. You can't do this. You have to. President Trump has sent home in there to give him a field report because obviously he wants, you know, Homan is more I guess the tougher of the group and he, he and Bovino to work together and get a sort this thing out. But now's the time to press the bet not to de escalate you blank. Now it's over. They're going to run the tables. The media is going to bury you and they're going to run the tables on you and all the weak, feckless Republicans are going to just get in a corner and Say, oh gosh, this is so horrible. Look at this media. It's so terrible. Get out there, make the case. Get off your ass and get out there and do some work. Talk about what's really going on here. All you do is you're repeating the left's talking points when you're doing interviews. Dave, Brett, you had to work with these people. You had to work. You were, you were early in the Duma for a couple of terms. But I see these senators and these congressmen up there, they're so feckless and weak, right? They're the reason we're here. They just put, they just blinked to the Democrats on the appropriations bill. We've still got tens of billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars still in these bill, still doing the woken weaponized funding because oh, the Democrats wouldn't concede that we had to do it. The, the refugee resettlement. That is the whole reason the Somalians and other groups are in clusters around the country so they can get political power and it's easier for them to steal, right? To steal. Like you see that you rip off the, the, not even rip off because the social welfare programs are part of it, just like in Minnesota. And they understand the crimes they've done there. That's what they've dug in. They understand they can't give up Minneapolis because Minneapolis is the key that picks the lock. They. Brad?
Dave Brat
Yeah, I came in over 10 years ago and the Republicans, the controlled opposition you're referring to wanted a mass amnesty. The night I won the primary, that amnesty came to an end. So for the folks at home who want to find out, who are these folks that are fighting against our own country, in our own party, go look up that list and I'll guarantee you that Blob is still sitting in Congress because they're masters of staying around, right? They get all the party money. But President Trump is messaging, right, spot on here, right. He is in favor of peace and the rule of law. He is challenging Governor Waltz and the mayor and saying to them very clearly, no, you guys hand over the criminals and then we'll talk. But they are holding back on that. Right? And the real story of this chaos and criminality starts back at the 10 to 20 million border invasion where the Democrats strategically did this on purpose. This wasn't just folks coming in across the border. They were being flown into certain key cities for political reasons. They were being greeted with five star hotels and food and all the benefits and everybody knows all that. Then when they get arrested and hundreds and hundreds There's a great ICE list out of all the criminals just in Minneapolis online that maybe Grace can post. But when they get arrested for rape, drugs, assault with a weapon, murder, child prostitution, et cetera, they're released into the public. And then the same Democrats who are doing this say, we are in favor of peace and we can't believe these folks and we need Nuremberg trials for the folks who are trying to bring peace and the rule of law to this country. This is the new novel part, right? The Republicans are boring and they're in the opposition because they're not fighting, but they don't cause this violence. The leftists are no longer liberals, they're Marxists. Mamdani is the new role model. How the congresswoman in Minneapolis, Ilhan Omar, came in broke and is now worth, I think I saw $40 million today. And all this is on the back of the fraud, corruption in the daycare centers and fraud approaching, from what I've read, estimates up to the $10 billion range. So that's the, that's the organized chaos. Paulina Luna, by the way. Go follow her on the China connection. She's been very strong and the rest of the Congress ought to follow her and get a backbone.
Steve Bannon
Well, she's also said she's got, she's got an organized effort now that they won't pass anything until the SAVE act that stops illegal aliens from voting unless the SAVE act is included anyway. A pitch battle not just in Minneapolis, but throughout the country, and particularly the Imperial Capital, Washington, D.C. as President Trump sends Homan to Minneapolis. We got Jack Vasobic back on up. We'll go to Jack as soon as we have a short commercial break.

Jack Posobics back post so we're going to actually have Steve Robinson from Maine in a second because I want to show people this is just not Minneapolis. This is an organized, well thought through effort to invade the country and then to have the taxpayers of the country pay for their own destruction. Jack Posobic the de escalation crowd are the same ones that are going to run away and hide every day. Let me be blunt. If you blink in Minneapolis, they're going to overwhelm you and they're going to win. You cannot blink in Minneapolis. That is one of the festering sores of this country and that's where they've all come together. You have to take care of the issue. You have to lance the boil there. Jack Bosobic, your thoughts.
Jack Posobiec
Steve, understand what they're doing in Minneapolis by setting this up in Minneapolis. There are now these insurgents that are coming in, the John Brown gun clubs, the antifa leaders. We've got evidence of people coming from Boston, people coming from New England who are now flooding into Minneapolis. So what President Trump is doing here, he's now making this be the key point. But if you expand the map at the same time, there's way more of our federal agents, of our federal resources, thanks to the. To the bbb, the one big beautiful bill. We can go into Maine, we can go into these places. But if you blink, if you blink now in Minneapolis, they're going to send the insurgents to Maine. Then they will follow every single place. If you blink in Minneapolis, you'll never make it to Detroit, to Chicago, to Philadelphia, to Los Angeles, to New York. No, take the fight here. If they want the fight to be here, you make the fight here and you put the insurgency down immediately. It's really as simple as that. They are flooding in because they'll hop on the buses, the George Soros, Alex Soros funded buses and they'll move on to wherever the next spot is, will follow Bovino, the rest of it. This is an insurgent insurgency and it needs to be described as such. And all these little freeze frame activists want to play. Oh, well. And he was. He had his hands on and he has hands off to get. No, no. Understand the context of what President Trump, Tom Homan and Commander Bovino are dealing with.
Steve Bannon
In 2006, we made the last 600 meters. We just released it last year. Finally got played on PBS after what, 14 or 15 years because it wouldn't play it. This is what happened in Fallujah. Fallujah. We walked away the first time. It was too tough. We had to come back. It was bloodier. But we took care of business. And the lesson from Fallujah and the job is you can't blink. You have to finish what you start. That's what these people understand. You have to finish what you start. I did last 600 meters with. With Michael as the director Occupying mass, which I had to step in and actually direct because the director first. The guys first started doing. Didn't quite get Andrew's concept. That was in 2012. So last thing Andrew did before he passed away. And in Jack Posobic's Unhuman, which I think we published that in 23 or 24. Jack, was it 24?
Left-wing Activist
It was 24.
Jack Posobiec
And I remember because it was the day that a certain war room host went to federal prison.
Steve Bannon
Exactly, exactly. Next man up. My point is you can connect all those dots. This is the way they've been doing this really since the French Revolution. But they perfected it in the Bolshevik takeover of Russia and then the communist revolution. This is why they pulled. They had a cultural revolution humiliation ritual. Because they want to put you through humiliation rituals. That's what they're talking about. Nuremberg trials, what they mean is the Moscow show trials. They want to put the people that defend the American Republic on trial. This is what I had when I went to prison. It was a show trial. They don't even let you in J6. They didn't even let you put on a defense. None of the J6ers could really put on a defense. They have a Moscow show trial. They're trying to break you. And some people are going to be broken. We're not going to be broken. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Double down, triple down. Sending home in there is a good first, first, first effort. But President, remember, the President's got nothing but calls from businesses. All the Fortune 500, all 17 Fortune 500 companies in Minnesota sent a letter with everybody else. Oh, you have to de escalate. You have to de escalate. We ain't de escalating. This is a Marxist. This is the Red Green alliance coming together to try to take down the American Republic. Why do you think, Fry, Why do you think Waltz have pulled out the police? The police sat back last night, Jack, you know this because you got, You've got, You got o' Keefe in the field, Your brother's in the field. Human Events is in the field. They're reporting this. You got Sorter, you got others. They're telling you what's going on. There's no police around. If the police are doing anything, they're kind of, you know, looking the other way. When this mob, and that's what it is, it's a domestic terrorist mob, right, goes and destroys that hotel last night, this is what President Trump's saying. You can't have the ICE operations without the military. This is why. Has it got a solution for that? It's called the Insurrection act. Get the 82nd Airborne, the 101st Airborne, if you have to. The Minnesota National Guard is more loyal to Waltz, and they won't do it. Then bring in other, national, federalize, other National Guard units. There's plenty. Trust me, there's plenty, particularly in a place called the American south, that'll be quite fine with going up there. If not, get the 101st and the 82nd Airborne, like Kennedy used, like Eisenhower used. This is fully within the President's power. And this is why I say, hey, I know we're. I know we're flooding the zone with military equipment around a potential situation in Tehran, but the problem in this country is not in the streets of Tehran. The problem in this country is a Marxist revolution. Highly financed, very sophisticated. Operationally with opsec, all of it in the streets of Minneapolis. That's infiltrated into the Minneapolis state government or the Minnesota state government and the Minneapolis city government. This is what's obvious. You have now government officials on taxpayer money that are working for the insurgents. Jack Posobic. And this is why we got a lance to Boyle. You cannot blink. If you blink in Minneapolis, you've essentially told them because Los Angeles and New York City, these places in Chicago are bigger problems. Are bigger problems. And you've told them, I can't handle Minneapolis. You're certainly not going to. So you're basically going to say the 20 million illegal alien invaders that this group brought in, highly organized effort, wasn't chaos. They, they broke them, as we showed you every day for five years or for the four years of the Biden regime. It means they're going to stay and you're going to lose your country. Jack Bosobic.
Jack Posobiec
Look, Steve, this is exactly correct. And we've got communications from Antifa. Now you can go. And they're announcing it publicly. They're saying this. I'll read it to you. Most civil wars are actually only fought in a few locations. Even though they affect the entire national territory, it's important for people who are able to send delegates to Minneapolis in order to get a sense of possible and what is at stake. Minneapolis could be our Fallujah. Organize supply drives, arm the proletariat. What did I say right there, Steve? And they're putting up gives and goes the rest. People also need to see this incredible footage last night. One border patrol guard standing there up against the mob last night. His hands are bloodied, his fingers are bleeding. He's calling for backup and he's holding the line. He's standing in the gap of that doorway not allowing to come in because they've got the innocent. The workers of the hotel, the people, the staffers, the clerks, they're all standing behind. And he's facing off against his antiba mob completely by himself as they're pelting him with rocks. They're, they're. Steve, they're freezing the water bottles and chucking them at his head over and over and over. And he doesn't back down. Those are the types of heroic patriots that we need to support right now, that the war room posse needs to support. And that is why when we see stands like that holding the line, this is the stand for Western civilization right now in Minneapolis.
Steve Bannon
Right there. Absolutely. Jack, take a second. Just reread Antifa. I want the audience to Understand how they're thinking. This is very well thought through. And I use the Fallujah without even hearing that. I use the Fallujah about the last 600 meters. Michael Pax. Well, Michael Pack directed the film back in 2006. The reason we made the film was because of this. That you can't blink. The culmination of the film is the taking of Fallujah after we back down and back down and back down and back down. And what it caused, it caused the problem to be ten times worse. And it took the lives of young American boys, Marines and army in retaking it, just like Occupy en masse. Andrew Breitbart went off on these guys. This was the movie about the black block, right during the occupied time period. And of course, your book was magnificent. Just read the antifa piece again, will you, sir?
Jack Posobiec
I will. And this is just this. I'm just reading from their own tweets. Most civil wars are actually only fought in a few locations. Even though they affect the entire national territory, it's actually important for people who are able to send delegates to Minneapolis in order to get a sense of what is possible and also what is at stake. Minneapolis could be our Fallujah. Organized supply drives armed the proletariat.
Steve Bannon
Right there. You got it. Hey, Jack, hang on. Because I know you've got relatives, as I do, from Maine, I want to bring in Steve Robinson, amazing independent reporter up there. Steve, I want you to come on because I've been following you closely. Obviously, we've had you on the show a bunch of times, but in this effort, this is, this is a national insert. This a national insurgency. This is national. It's just not. It's just not in. In Minnesota. So we're going to go to Maine, which you would think, hey, Maine, so bucolic, so lovely. Kennebuckport, you know, all the, all the Yankee money's up there. They all vacation up there. Maine's. Maine's problems on the scale of Maine is as big as what's happened in Minneapolis. What are you finding, Steve?
Steve Robinson
Well, Steve, we're finding that the seeds of this were really sown as far back as the passage of Obamacare. Because what the leftist agitators have been able to do is turn Medicaid, which is a $1 trillion a year program, into a permanent funding stream for some of the migrant run NGOs, some of the fraudulently run migrant run NGOs. And we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars pumped into these communities. And that money has in turn funded organizations that work to reelect Democrats. So the level of hysteria that you're seeing from Democrats over ICE actions or investigations into the fraud is because it's existential for them. They've built a migrant industrial complex funded with taxpayer money that helps them win elections over and over and over again. And I think that a true investigation, an aggressive investigation into exactly how this money has flowed and how it's influenced elections will find that in Maine, we haven't had free and fair elections since Medicaid was expanded because we've had Democratic leaders elected with the help and support from these migrant NGOs who have then turned a blind eye to just massive systemic fraud. Last week a report came out that said that $46 million in improper Medicaid payments were made just in 2023 related to an autism program, the same autism program that's been widely defrauded in Minnesota, and the same autism program, by the way, that Gateway Community Services build under. Gateway Community Services is our poster child for Somali and Medicaid fraud here in Maine. This is an organization we've been reporting on for a year. It took 10 months of beating that drum for other outlets to catch on. But the CEO of Gateway Community Services, after living the high life in Maine, taking pictures with Governor Janet Mills, rubbing elbows with all of the top politicians he's currently hiding in Kenya and is afraid to set foot on US soil, is trying to sell his million dollar mansion in Falmouth. We have exposed the corrupt nexus between Somali Medicaid fraud and the Democratic party here and I think you'd find the same thing in Minnesota.
Steve Bannon
Steve, hang on for one second because what you're finding is what Peter Schweitzer's talking about. The invisible coup. Posobic Robinson Brat. Next.

Jack Posobiec
Here'S your host, Stephen K. Bann.
Steve Bannon
Jack, I know you gotta bounce. Give us, give us some observations before you take off. You're one of our leading experts in this. You've been in the field fighting this. You got a team out there now. I'm really worried for o', Keefe, too. I think that. I think the people, if, if they are caught by these mobs, they'll be torn apart. They'll be torn apart physically at the hands of these people. That's the type of mobs you have out there. These domestic terrorist mobs are the most dangerous thing I've seen in the United States ever, sir.
Jack Posobiec
Well, Steve, there's no question. And people need to just. Whenever you're talking about the Alex Preddy situation, just remember that from the starting point. This is a communist insurgent who armed himself and went out to disrupt federal operations. He was not engaged in a protest. He was not engaged in First Amendment activity. He was engaged in interfering and disrupting in federal law enforcement. And he's a member of one of these groups. They're all members of these groups. They're in the signal chats. His neighbor said that he was a member of the group. They're all members of the insurgency. This is key to understanding the entire situation. But one other piece that I wanted to add to the mix. I was at the Scott Adams Memorial yesterday out there in San Francisco area, in the Bay Area, and I ran into Walter Kern, who was also speaking. Walter Kern is from Minneapolis St. Paul, the Twin City area. And he pointed out to me, he said one thing to not overlook is that the highest concentration, the highest per capita concentration of Fortune 500 companies is right there in the Twin Cities region. That's first among all the top 30 US metros. So you're talking Target, UnitedHealth Group, Best Buy, General Mills. They're all right there in the Twin Cities. Those are the ones who are sitting on the sidelines, for the most part, waiting to see what happens here. Then you saw the statement last night. They came out with the. The NBA team, with the other teams out there. Those are the ones who are the real power brokers in the Twin Cities. And those are the ones to keep an eye on.
Steve Bannon
Well, there's 17, there's 17 Fortune 500 companies headquartered in a city the size of Minneapolis. Okay. Because historically Minneapolis has been, you know, one of the things for the agriculture and others. And then it got the retail section later with the, some of the stores and had so many spin offs.
Dave Brat
Right?
Steve Bannon
Best Buy, all of them. Target. But their, their letter was de escalate. Their letter kind of started this. Oh, you got to de escalate. Let's de escalate. They're not asking for de escalation, folks. They're asking for surrender. This is about surrendering, not about de escalating. They want you to surrender. They want you to say it's just too tough and too hard. And I told you this day, this day was coming. And there'll be other days like this too, particularly when you've got quote unquote allies on Fox News. You know, comer, the, the disgraceful moronic governor of Oklahoma. And folks, I, I don't get it. I don't get how Oklahoma could be so God fearing and MAGA and have a governor like that. He was embarrassing. I say, what's the end game? You want to deport everybody? Well, we want to deport all the illegal aliens. Yes sir. Yes sir, that would be correct. Wouldn't think I'd have to write it down for a governor in a number two pencil. Jack, you're putting stuff up all the time. You got people in the field, not a better time in the world to get your book and understand how from the French Revolution forward, how their tactics are always the same. And this is very sophisticated. It's paid for. Jody Evans husband, a billionaire, multi billionaire, pays for this. A lot of his out of his pocket as George Soros does. It's all interlinked. But that's just bridge financing. They get, they get it. They want to get them on the government payroll, which they have it now. Steve Robinson is going to tell us about this and even more in depth of what they're doing in Maine. Right. As an example of what happening throughout the entire country. Closing thoughts before you bounce, sir.
Jack Posobiec
Well, and Steve, I've got to just throw out at you, by the way, United, United Healthcare. Right, we just mentioned that. When else did we hear about United Healthcare? Oh right, the assassination of the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who was from Minneapolis by who? Luigi Maggione. So this is all inextricably linked. Renee Goode, George Floyd, it's all tied to Minneapolis and And Liz Collin knows this best. And there's. There's for. For all of these reasons, all of these forces together. We've always talked about how it's corporate America being the backstop of all of this stuff with the illegal aliens, with them ultimately being the ones kind of pulling the strings behind even. Even Antifa, even behind 2020 BLM and Tifa linking up. This is the key. Look, if you want your country back, what you have here now is the power brokers are riling up the proletariat to squeeze out who the middle class MAGA is. The middle class MAGA is the working class MAGA is not the people who are the dependents of government, the dependence on the system or the high oligarchs. It's the oligarchs and the dependents versus the middle. And you have to understand that because we are winning.
Steve Bannon
Well.
Jack Posobiec
And they know that if we throw out their financial base and their voting base in Minneapolis, we can do it. The entire country.
Steve Bannon
Yeah. And the credential class, you got the oligarchs, right? Then they got the credentialed class, the MSNBC crowd. And then you've got the, the abject. This is the illegal aliens they bring in here, the refugees, etc, that are on the government payroll, essentially. And the working class.
Jack Posobiec
They turn the fraud operations on so they can get the money. And we know that money flows back to their own political copies offers.
Steve Bannon
Very highly organized. We'll break this down. The color revolution comes to the streets of America now. You're seeing in all its glory. And you're seeing the gutless cowards run. They want to run away at the first sound of gunfire. They want to run away. They want to run away. And you've got a. You've got a domestic terrorist mob in the streets. Look what they did last night. And you've got the police, they've been told to stand down because you got a Marxist mayor and Fry, and you've got Walls, who's a beauty, right? And he's told the National Guard to go get him coffee and donuts. He puts them through a cultural revolution, Red Guard humiliation exercise. Put them in a. Put them in the little vest, right, like you're a sanitation worker and go serve some coffee and donuts. And they film it. Playbook, it's Marxist jihadist playbook. 101. Jack, where do people go, particularly your Twitter feed, in the show at 2?
Jack Posobiec
Yeah, it's at Jack Fasobic. We're gonna be up at 2. We've got a full show together. You guys are really gonna like who we have on today. Going through all of this in full detail. The book, of course. If you want to know what is happening and if you want to know what part comes next, then go and read the book on humans, because what do they do? They organize, they agitate, and then they unleash. These are the three stages of the revolution. And guess what, boys and girls, you may not be interested in a communist insurgency, but you're living through one.
Steve Bannon
Yeah, it's interested in you. Jack Posobic, thank you so much, brother. Thank you for going out there and speaking at the memorial service for Scott Adams. And thank you for joining us this morning. Appreciate you.
Jack Posobiec
Of course. Well, Scott's a great patriot and he taught us. He taught us so much, and he paved the way.
Steve Bannon
Also, Scotty Martin passed away, I think, on Thursday or Friday. The great videographer, the guy made all the great videos, passed away unexpected from a heart attack. Lost two giants. Scott Adams, Scotty Martin. This is an I Heart podcast, Guaranteed human.

Host: Steve Bannon (iHeartPodcasts, Real America's Voice)
Featured Guests: Jack Posobiec, Dave Brat, Chi Osse, Steve Robinson, Cam Higby, Progressive Commentators & Activists
This episode of "The War Room" with Stephen K. Bannon focuses on the escalating unrest in Minneapolis, which Bannon and his guests describe as an active "color revolution" or “communist insurgency.” The discussion covers the roles of local politicians, national media, activist networks, alleged infiltration of law enforcement databases, and support from national and international actors. The panelists compare the current Minneapolis situation to historical revolutions and military engagements (such as Fallujah), frame the events as organized attacks on American sovereignty and rule of law, and urge listeners not to “blink” or “de-escalate.” Calls for stronger Trump administration actions, invocation of the Insurrection Act, and condemnation of both Republican “controlled opposition” and left-wing "Marxist" actors are recurring themes.
On “Color Revolution”:
On Law Enforcement Database Access:
On No De-escalation:
Antifa’s Message:
On “Nuremberg Trials” for ICE:
On Corporate Pressure:
The episode blends field reports, panel debate, and direct calls to action, frequently uses martial and insurgency analogies, and is confrontational and combative in language. Bannon’s tone is apocalyptic and exhortative, warning of existential threats and criminal conspiracies, aiming to galvanize his audience against both left-wing radicals and moderate Republican “controlled opposition.”
This packed episode of THE WAR ROOM positions the Minneapolis unrest as both a practical and symbolic battleground for America’s future, alternately depicting left-wing activist networks as insurgent threats and Republican moderates and corporate actors as enablers of national decline. The hosts and guests advocate for escalation, aggressive federal intervention, and a complete rejection of mainstream narratives. The urgency is reinforced through direct comparisons to historic uprisings and repeated warnings that “blinking” in Minneapolis will mean losing the nation.
