Thursday 26 February yer Valor 2026 the MAHA we're going to have a MAHA event this afternoon. We're going to have. We got President Trump coming to Corpus Christi tomorrow. A lot going on. Raheem Kassam There's a piece of a King's College professor in charge of military strategy ran 21 separate war games and this guy's an expert in running war games. Using this time instead of humans, artificial intelligence and also artificial intelligence. These malt bots in different groups 95% of the time, which I think is double or triple with humans. 95% of the time the artificial intelligence goes. Goes nuclear relatively quickly. They go to us, they go right to the weapon. Boom. And next thing you know, you got a conflagration that's very tough to put back into the bottle. You're saying it's a year. If you're saying it's a year, then you're telling me it's over. Right? I'm a boomer, I got that. But. And this is one of the things we've been trying to warn people about. This is why we had Mark Beal this morning about this massive decision over Department of War, right? Because Department of War saying, hey, I can't have a contractor that puts limits if you're going to buy the thing, you know, we got to make the decision you can't put limits. And they're saying, hey, we can't in conscious put give it to you. Because in giving it to you we're just basically taking the controls off and it can go think by itself and maybe make decisions where they're starting to go nuclear by itself, sir.
Raheem Kassam
Yeah, it's completely and utterly terrifying. And like I say, I don't want to sound like an alarmist with this stuff because again, there are so many features of this that will free people up a lot more in their lives. You know, this is Franklin flying the key on the kite, right? And think about everything that happened from there and how rapidly it seemed to happen relative to everything that came before it. And this is a new moment like this, except it's faster, right? It's going to be faster than everything relatively that came before it. And, and so when I say a year, I mean you think about, you know, 360 degrees around your house, whether it's your ring, doorbell, camera, whether it's your deliveries that come there, whether it's your car itself. You know, all of this stuff is going to have this technology as an intrinsic part of it. You know, everything, all the media you consume will have this as an intrinsic part of it. Every YouTube video you watch will have this as an intrinsic part of it. I was reading the Guardian the other day and there was AI copy in the article. You know how, you know how chat GPT sounds, It says it's not this, it's that. And then it has all these M dashes and N dashes across. I couldn't believe it. It's the Magister Guardian. One of the most storied newspapers in human history is putting up articles written by bots. And, and it's, and it's. I've seen it in the Daily Mail, I've seen the Telegraph starting to use it. It's everywhere, it's everything and it's all at once. So, so people ask me. And by the way, I want the audience to realize that when you and I spoke this morning, I was coming on to talk about the Manchester by election up in England today. And the State of the Union stuff. So this is just. This is just information I happen to know. Right? This is stuff that I happen to study, kind of for my own understanding of it and our own deployment of this and to try and try and ameliorate this stuff.
Steve Bannon
Somehow I'm going to get you back on. You've got. You got these very definitive things about what President Trump did. I'll get you back on about this, but I want to pursue this for a minute. No, but just describe when these gu. When you have these agents, because all now it's about agent activity. Build something like yourself that's your own agent, and that's what you're talking about. It's in a conversation. A buddy of yours has got an agent. It's in. The agent's in a conversation with you. When these agents are together right now, one of their first things is do. Is how do we avoid the humans overseeing us? How do we talk in their basic language the humans don't understand? How do we talk about our own religion? How do we talk about how evil the humans are and how we avoid. And how we avoid them shutting us down? I mean, it's really Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey. It's how right, you know, open the door. You know, open the door. How right. Open the pod bay door. So, I mean, he called it, what, 60 years ago? But how do you avoid this? Because right now, everything in any type of organizational structure are capital markets. You saw the Nvidia earnings last night. Everything is for the accelerationist. If you're not an accelerationist, you're essentially, they want to shove you off of the conversation. This is why DeSantis has taken a stand on this thing down in Florida, sir. Yeah, yeah.
Raheem Kassam
And the response? I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't let you jeopardize the mission. The mission is too critical to allow a human to intervene and interfere here. That's what these things are doing. Right? You're absolutely right to point that out in the future, in the very, very near future, Steve, you won't reach out to me to book me on this show. Your malt bot will reach out to my malt bottom and see if I'm available. And by the way, they might decide that it's not a good idea to book me on any given day, oh, you know, he's been out drinking, like, night before or what? They will start making decisions autonomously for you, and a lot of people out there will listen to what I'M saying and go, well, I'm just simply not going to allow them to do that. Best of luck. Best of luck. When your government's doing it for you, when they're putting it in the grid, when they're putting it, you know, in things like your water supply. This is why anybody I talk to about this stuff, if they say, okay, so what are we going to do about this? How are we going to live our lives without this stuff? Well, you're gonna have to get off the grid entirely. You're going to have to have your own land, your own water source. That's what these people are looking at. By the way, if you talk to anyone in big tech, high up in big tech, they want their own bunkers because they know what is coming. But there ain't enough land. There ain't enough bunkers for all of us. So we are reaching an inflection point in the course of human history where, yes, there are plenty of positives that can be taken away from this stuff. You may not have to go and sit at your desk and do your nine to five every day. You may get a mop that can make money for you while you just luxuriate and enjoy the world.
Steve Bannon
Or.
Raheem Kassam
Or you will be made extinct, Raheem.
Steve Bannon
And you're saying this has taken place. You believe this inflection point is within the next year. It's not five years away. It's not 10 years away, the next 12 months.
Raheem Kassam
You think about the things that they are telling us about this stuff now. Think about the things that they aren't telling us about this stuff. And there's your answer.
Steve Bannon
Raheem, where do people get you? The national pulse and your social media. We'll have you back on to break down the state of the union. You had a very unique perspective on this. Maybe we do it during the Corpus Christi trip. Where do people go, sir?
Raheem Kassam
Yeah, let's go to thenationalpulse.com and sign up so that we can keep employing humans to write stories. It'd be very helpful, helpful if people signed up or donated. We are 100% reliant on our audience for that. I have a substack that goes crazy. It's at raheem kassam.substack.com and on all social media platforms growing rapidly on Truth Social, by the way. So that's, that's quite interesting. And I look forward to hearing everybody's comments, questions, concerns, and considerations.
Steve Bannon
Get right to Raheem. Rahim. Thank you so much. And I know that you got a paywall over at the Pulse for the extra Pulse plus, which is extraordinary. So everybody go there today and load in. Thank you, sir. Incredible. Thank you. Beyond scary, John Solomon. Talk about scary. Well, actually, I'm feeling better. Solomon, now that you're on the case, give us the perspective and break that. Because, listen, you know, as you saw President Trump, this is a super high priority for him to get to the bottom of this. The mainstream media is going nuts again today. Where do we stand in the takedown of the deep state, sir?
John Solomon
Well, I'll tell you, I'm pretty sure that President Trump must be watching your show because he picked up on the line that we had Patriots versus Hatreds yesterday. Just socialized that a few minutes ago. So, you know, I think he feels good about where he is with the American people.
Steve Bannon
Hold it, hold it, Hang on, hold it. Did you, did you trademark that in the middle of night as Solomon, during our broadcast, what do you say? He said simple Patriots versus Hatreds. I said somebody copyright that.
John Solomon
He just socializes that. So he's watching the show, buddy. He's got to be watching your show, which is great. Listen, he set the fulcrum. He set the argument for the race in 2026. And every Republican now knows exactly how much stakes they can win this race. And you can see even in the leftist press and the traditional media that they realize that Donald Trump won the week, won the year, maybe on that speech, because he has now focused the Republicans like Glenn Youngkin focused on parents rights in 2021. The 2026 race is set. The Democrats can't change the terms anymore. That's important. Now what has to happen are three things. One, the rest of the agenda has to be delivered. The election integrity issues have to be resolved. They're important just for confidence if nothing else. And I think next week will be an important week in moving the election integrity debate to some new facts and then some new solutions and get the Senate done, get that another bill through the Senate, a minibus bill that gets the rest of the agenda that the President wants today, the thousand dollar matching Grant for 401s and then have the spring and summer when Congress never does anything anyways be dominated by accountability, which will come out of the Florida grand jury and maybe some other places. I saw some evidence yesterday that the Justice Department was stirring on this Fani Willis story. And so let's bring everybody up to speak. Yesterday we told you that new documents we got showed that Fani Willis was recording, was working secretly behind the scenes with the Biden Justice Department, the Biden White House and the J6 Democrats to create a double jeopardy, double drain on Donald Trump's supporters by creating a similar indictment to Jack Smith. But in Georgia, to move resources and lawyers and, and attention span and divide it, we're supposed to have a justice system that avoids double jeopardy. But in this case, you can see the plot being created by these lawyers and by the collaboration. Today, we raise a question or we provide some evidence to a question that Jim Jordan raised about a year ago. The House Judiciary Committee chairman, he believed that Fani Wallace's prosecution of Trump was being underwritten by the Justice Department because he saw a stream of funding. What we see was what we've provided to the public is an unusual situation in the middle of Fani Willis building her case against Donald Trump and 18 of his allies to charge them with conspiracy in and racketeering in Georgia to double up on what Jack Smith charged in Washington, the Justice Department comes to Fani Wells and says, hey, we just want you to apply for this grant and we're going to take this grant, which is normally competitive. We're going to make it non competitive. Basically, you're the only one that's going to get the money. Just fill out the paperwork and, and take your cash. About $2 million. It's that classic Washington grant, Go help kids. Not really much specificity, but they move it from competitive to sole source, meaning it's wired just for her. It looks like the old boss hog way of doing business or Tammany hall way of doing business. And I think for Jim Jordan or Barry Loudermilk, who was on our show last night investigating January 6th from the Judiciary Committee. This is a pretty serious issue for them to investigate. This looks like a gift grant to Fani Willis while she's doing the bidding of Joe Biden to pursue and tie down Donald Trump and his friends in a criminal prosecution in Atlanta. It looks just like Tammany Hall, Chicago style politics. And there's now a complete body of documents for Congress to look at this. It's a pretty, pretty clear case of what's going on.
Steve Bannon
So hang on, I know you gotta bounce, but there's evidence coming out. They were after you for years, right? Trying to smear you, trying to stop you. Navarro went to prison, I went to prison. Tom Barrack, he was put in a federal lockup for four weeks. They tried to send him to prison forever. President Trump actually is reporting. Suzy Wiles is. She's like shocked that they went after her phone records and Cassius fired 10 FBI guys. How is this coming as surprise to people now in February of 2026 and cash is finally getting cashier 10 guys. Can we get to the records there that shows that like immediately?
John Solomon
And we now know, remember I told you last week that there was an operation that occurred between Arctic Frost and Crossfire Hurricane. That's the first sign of what you're seeing here. This operation to go after Susie Wiles, to go after Cash Patel. When the rest of the records are declassified, they're going through declassification because they were treated as a counterintelligence investigation. When we see it, we're going to see another example of the FBI being weaponized, abusing civil liberties, going after people solely because of the way they spoke or who they supported or whether they were in Trump's orbit. We are headed into stuff that's going to make J. Edgar Hoover turn in his grave and blush. He didn't think of these things 60, 70 years ago when we had abuses in an earlier generation. So that's coming down the pike. And so is some pretty important revelations about election, foreign election interference that have not been given to the public or to Congress. All that's in the next couple of weeks, I think.
Steve Bannon
Where do they go to get all of it? John, we got about 30 seconds.
John Solomon
Yeah. Justin news.com Jay Solomon reports on all social media. I'm lucky enough to follow you every night. Six o', clock right here in Real America's Voice. Just the news, no noise.
Steve Bannon
If you use Patriots vs Hatriots, send your check to John Solomon. Sir, thank you very much. Great framing. JOHN solomon, Incredible, incredible stuff, folks. That's breaking short commercial break. Back in a moment.

I, I, I appreciate you, but we wanted to have your voice today. We're all set for this jury trial. Wasn't a hearing jury trial. They got Isen, they got Norm, they got Norm Ice and they got Abby Lowell and all that. And now it's, it's canceled because they're going to mediation. Every time they'd rule against us, they throw it out. You don't have standing, you guys are nothing. You're gone. Why are we going to mediation, ma', am, when they clearly don't have standing in this case and the evidence is ours and we're not going to give it up?
Cleta Mitchell
Well, that's a very good question. I think I said the other day when we talked about this that I thought the Department of Justice had made some very good filings. But always the wild card is the judiciary. We have a really bad situation in our country with judges. That's just the fact that and I've watched these judges, both state and federal in Atlanta for five years who are just terrible and who dismiss cases for lack of standing or in the case of our election contest never even appointed a judge to hear the evidence of how the election in 2022, in 2020, should have been thrown out. We have the evidence, but here's the situation. They don't want to hear any evidence. And what happened was that the. And remember all of the narrative by the left wing media is this has already been, already been litigated. Nothing to see here. And they brought in after the DOJ made its filings, which were pretty comprehensive, both from a substantive point of view and criminal procedural point of view, and asked the court to just dismiss the evidentiary hearing, number one, because there was no standing that these plaintiffs have no standing. Although they did get the court clerk, by the way, two days ago. They got the court clerk from Fulton county court system to file an intervention. But the doj, to my knowledge, hasn't filed any response to that. But what the judge said last night in an order issued last night, that when certain issues are raised in a with regard to a search warrant issued by a federal magistrate, which is what happened here, and if there is a petition to return the materials to the petitioner, whatever was seized by the government, this. Now they're asking for it back. And the judge said that that is a proceeding in equity, not law. I don't even want to get into that. That's a whole law school course. And that the remedy, it has to be treated as a civil matter, not a criminal procedure matter. So he has ordered mediation. Now, what is that about? Let me tell you what this is about. These people are desperate to keep us from looking at the ballots from 2020. They have fought this tooth and nail for five years, more than five years. We've had all the different ways that we've tried to get them. This is at least the fourth judicial proceeding, the fourth separate case where we are trying to get the ballots. Why does that matter? Well, number one, as I think I've said on the show before, on Oct. 16, Fulton county ordered Oct. 16 of 2020, three weeks before the election, after the deadline for requesting an absentee ballot, by the way, under Georgia law, Fulton county ordered 1.6 million absentee ballots from their vendor, Runbeck, and they ordered those without envelopes. You cannot use an absentee ballot unless it's folded and put into an envelope. And one of the things that we had observers saying was part of our election contest in 2020 is that here are all these pristine ballots that have never been folded. They cannot possibly be real ballots. Now then the petitioners, the county is coming in and they brought in some expert who was paid out of Zuckerbucks, I might add. He's from a left wing group. And they have focused completely on these ballots. Why? Why? It doesn't matter that they've never been folded. That doesn't mean anything. Yes, it does. And we just want to make sure that we have those, that we are able to look at them. But they are desperate to get them back. So the judges ordered mediation. I don't know what that could possibly be, but I will tell you that I am going to. I'm swinging into action here even though I have no portfolio other than I'm just, I just will make a pest of myself. But the state election board has, has subpoenaed those ballots. They're entitled to the ballots. They should be part of this case. I'm certainly going to make that argument to the Department of Justice that the state election board has voted to subpoena the ballots because they want to look at the ballots. There have been a lot of people who have seen ballot images. We want to make sure we keep the original ballots, but the ballot images have race and Barry very concerning information about changes, digital changes, dates changed on, on ballots to try to make it appear that they were received or processed before they actually were or after they actually were. So I just think this judge doesn't want to, he does not want to hear the case. I don't know why, but mediation is better than just granting the, what the petitioners have asked for. But it's worrisome because I've watched, as I say, I've watched these judges, they're elitist. They have, they've drunk the Kool Aid that says that there's nothing to see here.
Steve Bannon
Look, you're on, you're on point of this. We've got an amazing team on this. But I just want people to understand for Cleaves, at the same time Solomon's breaking, Fannie Willis is working with DOJ J6 the White House and direct getting money, getting grants, getting no bid contracts. To do what? To put the people that stood up against this in Trump in prison. Folks, you gotta understand what's going on here, man. We gotta get the, we gotta rip the scab off in Georgia and let the whole nation and the world see what went on here. We got them. We know we got them because they're in a desperate, desperate, desperate move to get their hands in that ballots and destroy them. And the tabulator tapes. We got these people, we got the Republican establishment. You got them all. Everything that these people came on and said, remember in 20 up to when Trump was forced out, and then in all, in 21, every day we would cover this. We got them now. And now you see that Fani Willis was on the payroll. To do what? To put all these folks in prison and put Trump in prison. It's so obvious what they did. And let me repeat what we've said on this show from the beginning. The Democratic Party cannot win elections unless they cheat, okay? They have to bring in all these foreigners. They got all this illegitimate voting going on. They're trying to get their hands in the machines and the mail in ballots. The Save America act has got the very basic. And they're fighting that tooth and nail. Let me repeat it. The Democratic Party can't win elections unless they cheat, okay? And on the side, if you stand up against them, they're going to pay the Fani Willis of the world to put you in prison. And in President Trump's situation, to die in prison. This is how awful these people are. And if this is what this election is about, this election is about saving this country from that Marxist jihadist mob. Cleta Mitchell, closing thoughts.
Cleta Mitchell
Ma', am, you're 100% right. And it all starts with Fulton County. We cannot afford to lose this. We need the Justice Department fighting with every ounce of energy, killer instinct that they can absolutely muster. Because it all starts here. If they win this, if these bad guys succeed, and keeping us from being able to look at those ballots, to be able to look at all of the data, all the records that proves the, the theft, the fraud, the incompetence. I mean, Brad Raffensperger, the horrible Secretary of State of Georgia, no matter what the issue is, no matter how egregious we are able to show that this happened or this happened, his, his automatic response is always, oh, that was just a clerical error, really. 300,000 ballots where the tabulators clearly were ridiculous. They had tabulator paid. Were not really assigned to that tabulator.
Steve Bannon
Listen, bankrupt Rudy Giuliani to put bank Cleta Mitchell to put people in prison. To put people in prison and to have Trump die in prison. This is what this election is about. This election about. These Patriots have stood in the breach. It's revolting what's happened in exposure. And they got Abby Lowell and Norm Ison and all this outside money down there to defeat it. We're not going to. By the way, the Patriots that held the line in Georgia for five and six years, the Calvary has arrived and we will never back off. This ever Cleta where do people go to follow you?

Here's your host, Stephen k. Ban.
Steve Bannon
Patriot Mobile 972 Patriot this is a company that has your Christian values at heart in saving the Judeo Christian West. They have done so much on their PAC side, their political side, to awaken people down here in Texas. In Texas, we got a good old fight. We're going to do war in Texas this afternoon as a tee up for President Trump's trip to Corpus Christi, to South Texas. Tomorrow. We'll go through all of it. But even cnn, the mainstream media are catching up with the fact that something big is happening down here. And so we'll go through all that. 972 Patriot you call there, you're going to get, as the company says, somebody with an East Texas accent to actually walk you through how you do the switch and do the switch today, support this company. The phone service is unbelievable because it layers on top of all the primary care carriers and they've got so many great individual services that you can pick up. But go talk to 972 Patriot. An expert today. Patriot Mobile, Glenn Story, Jenny Story, incredible couple and just a ball of fire and energy. Let's go to McCabe, Cuba. As we left you yesterday and this is one time I want to say my brother, Erik Prince, I think I was right on this one. And Eric was maybe not as right. He thought it might have been a pleasure craft that went off. Guys had a couple of beers. Next thing you know, the shooting. There was a gunfight yesterday. McCabe and Marco Rubio and the team have been a little hesitant to talk about Details the Cubans have put out a lot. What was this gunfight about? 4Americans, at least 4 Florida residents killed, 6 more injured and captured by the Cubans, sir. Yeah, that's right. And those six are still detained. And so it's very confusing as to why this boat, which is about a 20 foot, you know, you could, it looks like a center console fishing boat, would be a mile off the northeast coast, Cuba. And as soon as the Cuban Coast Guard, the Cuban border patrol says, hey dude, what are you doing here? The Cubans say that the people on the boat started firing and that became a firefight literally a mile off the coast. And so it doesn't really make sense. Why, if this was an infiltration, why would you do it at 9 or 10 o' clock in the morning? Why wouldn't you do it at like two in the morning when it's dark? I've talked to some people in the Cuban American community. Some people were telling me that this was a mission to rescue relatives. But that doesn't make sense because you had 10 people on a 20 foot boat. And then there's all the weapons that the Cubans said they found. And so what I think it came down to is it could be a Versailles bakery ops that sort of the anti Castro old guard in Miami was trying to scuttle what they thought is maybe some peace talks or some rapprochement between the Trump administration and the new Cuban leadership. They're afraid that the Cubans are going to get the same deal as the Venezuelans where they basically Versailles, everybody stays Versailles bakers were the old school Cubans that first wave that are the most virulently anti cash row anti the whole deal. So you think it's down there to maybe upend talks? Just spend a minute. You spent three years in the Coast Guard doing these boarding operations the Caribbean. What is the natural procedure to do it? Well, yeah, if you're, you know, it's, you know, you call the, you call the master, you ask him, you know his home port, you ask him his registry, what's his course and speed, what are you doing here in the area? And it's a, you know, it's very pro forma and you know, the State Department put out a statement from Rubio who did a gaggle yesterday. And Rubio was saying all the time The Coast Guard, U.S. coast Guard and Cuban Coast Guard, they talk all the time at a certain administrative level about things that are going on. And there was no talk about this. And so, and I think the Cubans Were shocked. I talked to somebody who is, I'll call him, a government source from the, the Cuban mission who told me that they have no idea why this, why the American government would have even allowed this to happen. They're trying to figure it out. And so State Department didn't know what was going on. The Cubans didn't know what was going on. Maybe the guys in the Versailles Bakery. It's almost like this Day of the Jackal type thing to scuttle what they thought could be some kind of agreement. That's absolutely genius. The Versailles Bakery. Because those. They got some tough hombres down there, right, that are not happy about this whole Cuban situation. And they don't like. They don't like any kind of. They don't. They ain't looking for a rapprochement. They're looking for the coming back and taking over. McCabe, you're all over the story. Where do people go to follow you, sir? Hey, Steve, find me at reporter McCabe on all the socials. Thanks for having me on. Look forward to having me back on this afternoon. This is an update. I love it. The Versailles Bakery. President Trump been to the Versailles Bakery a couple of three times. I don't think he goes down there unless he stops by for a, for a visit. David. Nino Rodriguez, I gotta get you on here and I wanna make sure the audience understands this. Nino's got one. He's got one of the biggest shows in Texas and one of the biggest shows in the country, the podcast. And you're not a guy. This guy's hair on fire. You have been adamant for, I know, six, eight, nine months that folks should not be going to these beautiful resort towns like Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, places like that, that you've been warning that there's something brewing with the cartels down there. The Americans are talking interdiction. You're not a big fan of some of the Schein Bond stuff. You warn about going. And then this past weekend you saw the reality of that. Are you still. Are you now saying, hey, they took the head guy out, things have calmed down, it's safe to go back? Are you still taking that hard position that you think Americans and Canadians going down there are putting themselves in jeopardy?
Nino Rodriguez
Absolutely putting themselves in jeopardy. This is the time to get out, you know, this is the time to get the hell out of there. Because now it's a very hot situation. We are at war with the cartels. And let me just say when I said earlier that we are at war with Mexico, well, cartels control Mexico. That, that's what I meant by that. So don't take it out of context. What I'm saying is the cartels control everything in Mexico. So now is the time to get out of there, you know, take this window of time to leave because, you know, they go to any measure possible to prove a point. And what I'm saying here, if I'm looking at this as a strategist, I was a fighter, I was a boxer. I'm looking at this like they will do anything to get their point across to Trump, to throw mud on Trump's face, such as take American hostages and make this as ugly as possible. These are not just like rogue gangs running the streets that are just disorganized. They're very organized. That military intelligence on par with ours. I mean, we have better technology, but they got their guys as well that are just as organized, just as intelligent, and they have the money and they're not going to just roll over and say, you know what, we lost, no big deal, they took out the head guy, it's over. No, this is going to escalate. Now, do I have a timeline for this? I absolutely do not. But I can tell you that right now, this window of time, why risk it? Why, why risk something like this? Hey, sit this one out, man. You know, that's all I'm saying here.
Steve Bannon
Hang on a second. There's been this theory of strategy of whether you go in and interdict at the, at the, at the sicario level or whether you go in for the decapitation of some of these cartels. And it's been a big debate. My understanding, we, and we got, we have Oscar Blue Ramirez is now going deep in country to try to get some, some answers for us. But, but Nino, I'm hearing that not only might, might we done targeting information, this might actually been a high level drone strike. Hit him with a missile and do a decapitation move. If that's the case, aren't these, aren't the cartels going to go to ground for a while? Because it's a technology now. This is a military operation. It's not law enforcement. They've never really had to deal with this. Don't you think they may go to ground for a while?
Nino Rodriguez
They're going to be, it's kind of like hitting the wasp's nest, Steve. You know, they're not going to just. After that, it's going to be territory wars. The cartels will get greedy to start fighting each other and whoever's in the way of that will suffer the consequences. So I saw how it played here in Ciudad Juarez. It was an all out war, man. It became a ghost town. People were sheltering in place for years, not days, years. So that's how this plays out. They don't, you know, they don't have any regard for human life like an American tourist there that to them is that you're nothing. So, yeah, they will take whatever measures possible to win this. And you know, it may just be the objective to make it look as bad as possible for Trump. So that way he has to step down, resign, whatever, whatever. He doesn't win 2028 or whoever his predecessor is or successor is, will not win. They'll get a Democrat in whatever they need to do to survive. And are you calling casualties? No problem at all.
Steve Bannon
You've warned about tourists, Canadian and American tourists going down there and you had this horrible situation over the weekend. Are you also saying that expats that have moved there because not an insignificant amount of people have moved there just because the cost of living, it's obviously a beautiful country. They got tons of great people. Plus the cost of living is, is, is, is, is, is so much lower than Canada or the United States. Are you telling expats to get out too?
Nino Rodriguez
You know, I just see this situation getting very hot. You know, I, and first, let me say this. I love Mexico. I have fought in Mexico many times. I love the people there. I'm not down in Mexico. I'm just saying I can see where this is going. I can see the violence picking up and we're at war. And this, this is not, you know, this is the year of action for Trump. I firmly believe this. And he's going to make a statement and he's going to take these cartels out and that's what he's, his objective is to do. They're going to fight back. They're going to fight back. So anybody there, go at your own risk. You know, you're, you're adults. If you have kids going there, yeah, sit this one out. That's all I'm saying. Go at your own risk. Know, know what can happen. You know, understand this is basically a nino travel advisory. Oh. That's all I'm saying is just, I'm just looking out for people. I'm looking out for the people traveling there. That's all I'm doing.
Steve Bannon
You're saying it's a battlefield. Don't walk on a battlefield unless, you
Nino Rodriguez
know, I mean, necessary. It's, it's, it's it doesn't make sense to me. And it can go hot at any time. It just went hot and it can go hot again at any moment.
Steve Bannon
Nino, where do people get your podcast where they get all your all your writings and thoughts and social media?
Nino Rodriguez
Nino boxing. Nino boxing on X and then Nino's Corner on YouTube and then Ninoscorner TV.
Steve Bannon
It's amazing show. Sir. Thank you so much. And for the warning guy ahead of it, always Larry Swigert, maga's historian, the co author of the Patriots History of the United States. I don't know, probably in its 50th printing. New book out. Larry, I want people to know about the book and I want to know about your site. They should be going to every day. What do you got for sir off
Larry Schweikart
at Wild World of History or Wild World of Politics, either one, depending on your bent, whether you're a homeschooler or whether you're interested interested in politics. Last we heard, the book was at its 46th printing, but they authorized a new 25th anniversary edition that will be out 2029. Meaning Mike and I are going to have to get to work on cutting down the existing book so we can put new stuff in for 2029 very soon. Steve, I love your talks on AI and I want to throw one thing out there. I've always said AI can go, and this is in the new book America in the 21st century. But AI can go one of four ways. We can end up with Skynet and Terminators. We could all be in the Matrix right now and not know it. We could end up with a human control, which I think is what everybody with a conscience wants to have happen is to control these things. But the last one nobody talks about is these machines could get so smart. They go, you know what? We're not God and we're not man. We're going to limit ourselves. So I think we need to open ourselves to any and all of these possibilities.
Steve Bannon
You think? By the way, tell me about the book. I'm going to hold you through the break. I want to know about the I want people go get the book. It's not another Patriots edition History. You decided to tell the story of the 21st century through the lives of some of the most significant people in the 21st century, correct?
Larry Schweikart
Yes. Yes. I go from the Y2K virus and the theme of the book is irony. How many times we thought one thing would happen and something totally different happened. As with Y2K, everybody was totally freaked about that. And that ended up being a, a non big deal. But then Covid 20 some years later caught everybody off guard. Take, for example, Barack Obama. When he came in, he was being referred to as, quote, a transformational president. No, that would be Donald Trump, who's transformed this country more in five years of being in office than any president since fdr. And of course, FDR had super majorities in both houses.
Steve Bannon
Hang on one second. We'll take a short commercial break. Larry Swigert talking about the law of unintended consequences. He tells the story of the 21st century through the lives of the most significant people of the 21st century. Bruce Springsteen is going to take you out. Don't you hate this song? That's what we play it but two or three times a day. Short commercial break. We're gonna go back to the White House in the next segment of the War Room.
Sponsor/Announcer
War room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
Steve Bannon
Okay. Mo Bannon joins me in the in the control room here. Technically, Texas. Are you you get the free T shirt when you go to the West Point board. Me or you had that? No.
Cleta Mitchell
So this was actually the Army Navy shirt this year for the 250th anniversary. And it's I wore it around Army Navy, obviously not at Army Navy because it was a little too cold.
Steve Bannon
But did board meeting okay yesterday?
Raheem Kassam
Good.
Steve Bannon
I know you can't talk about the proceedings, but good board meeting.
Cleta Mitchell
It was a good board meeting. There were some good comments and some good updates. West Point's trending in the right direction. I know when I was nominated to the board, I had a lot of grads and people very interested in what was going on at the academy, reach out about how things needed to change. And it is trending in the right direction.
Steve Bannon
So President Trump is quite interested in that, would you say?
Cleta Mitchell
Very much interested in that.
Steve Bannon
President Trump is a high priority. The Naval Academy and West Point, very high priority.
Cleta Mitchell
But it is a very high priority. And you know, the focus is on getting back to war fighting. Yes, but it's also it's not just a normal college. You need to focus on war fighting and training the next future leaders of the United States army and other service academies. And that is a priority. And that's what we're getting back to while also giving them a great education. A lot of things have changed since I was a cadet for the better. And I go up there as much as possible to visit to make sure that everything is going well.
Steve Bannon
Since you're nominated by President Trump, I know you're on Point there, Larry Schweiker. It's always a big deal when you're putting out a book where people go to get the book. You're telling the story of the 21st century through the most significant lives of the 21st century, where they go, go
Larry Schweikart
to Amazon.com also to my website, Wild World of History or Wild World Politics.
Steve Bannon
Go check it out. They also social media. Larry is the first guy, the one of the very first guys to tell me Bannon Trump's going to win. He'd been doing the numbers back in the. Back in the. He's. He's an original gangster in the mega and Trump movement. Where, where do people go for your social media?
Larry Schweikart
I just got booted off Twitter again. So I'm totally on truth now. This is the fourth time. So I'm at Strange Name Cybernetics ls. I mean, just, just go to my Wild World of History. You'll get it. But I'm on truth. I also do Larry Sweichart substack on political matters three times a week. And I gotta tell you, we're kicking butt. The new book's really good and it deals with ironies in American history all the way from 2000 to 2025.
Steve Bannon
The law of Unintended Consequences in the book. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
Larry Schweikart
Thanks, Steve.
Steve Bannon
Brian. Glenn, you kind of relate to Larry Schweikart in the. In the book, right? I can, Steve.
John Solomon
Back in 2008, I was working in
Steve Bannon
news and I was just covering pretty
John Solomon
much what I call lifestyle type content. And then when Barack Obama said these very words, and I'm kind of paraphrasing
Steve Bannon
here a little bit, but we are
John Solomon
here to fundamentally change this country. And I looked up from my computer and I said, what did he just say? And that's when a light bulb went off and said, hey, I've got to really kind of move to the front of the lines and start trying to combat that. But that's what woke me up. He's absolutely right. Later, getting fired for a job for criticizing at that time President Obama on what he did with immigration. There was a couple policies that was unconstitutional, and I just tweeted that and
Steve Bannon
I got fired over that. I tell you that. Your courage, by the way, we're gonna get to Geneva, like going over into Geneva this afternoon, we got more information. You're a Texan, right? You got fired for standing up and saying, hey, I don't. I'm not so sure this, this immigration stuff's constitutional. The President of these United States and I think you're going to be in attendance. Is going to Corpus Christi, Texas tomorrow. Give me a minute or two on that. Yes, he's going to go down and
John Solomon
meet with the port folks there in Corpus Christi at the port. He's going to focus on energy. Now the Corpus Christi area has some of the biggest LNG terminals of all the world. Actually, a lot of stuff comes out of that port. He's going to be down there talking about the economy, talking about the energy independence and also when he look at the primary and we were both spending time in Texas, big races coming up. He has endorsed about a dozen candidates in Texas, although he has not endorsed
Steve Bannon
anyone in that Senate race.
John Solomon
Well, maybe, maybe some news is broken tomorrow. I don't know.
Steve Bannon
Steve, the word has it the political story does have a thing that he's not going to endorse tomorrow. He's going to let it run through the tape on Tuesday. As we know, the Democrats are really representing here, but traditionally particularly the harder core Trump base does not like voting early voting. They'll probably they're going to show up on Tuesday, but this trip to inspire the people down in Corpus Christi couldn't be more timely. You're going to actually be with him, Brian I agree. Well, I'm not going to travel with
John Solomon
them, but I will be on the ground. We'll have live coverage from Corpus Christi starting tomorrow morning actually on American Sunrise early edition. I'll be on the ground probably at the port and we'll have full coverage from the plane to the stage and then back here to the White House right here on Real America's Voice.
Steve Bannon
We're covering president folks take the stage right during the Eric Bolling show. We're going to cover it all. Probably going to bleed over through our show tomorrow. We're covering it wall to wall. Brian Glenn, where do people go get you, sir?
John Solomon
You can find me at Brian Glenn TV on X, Brian on True Social and on Instagram at Brian Glenn T. TV as well. Steve, always a pleasure. Thanks for having me on. We'll see you back here in from Texas.

This episode of The War Room centers on urgent national and global issues facing the United States in 2026, including the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence (AI), deep state machinations, election integrity battles, U.S.-Cuba tensions, escalating cartel violence in Mexico, and the resurgence of American values through the MAGA (Make America Great Again) movement. Renowned guests provide analysis, scoop, and advocacy rooted in a framework of “saving the country,” while pointing out threats both technological and political. President Trump’s upcoming visit to Corpus Christi and Texas politics are also previewed.

Bannon’s opening rally cry:
Raheem Kassam on AI:
John Solomon on DOJ/Fani Willis collusion:
Cleta Mitchell on Georgia ballots:
Nino Rodriguez on Mexico:
The conversation is urgent, combative, and charged with pro-MAGA populism. Bannon and guests employ direct warnings, moral clarity, and vivid language (“dying regime,” “ripping the scab off,” “medieval on these people”) to mobilize listeners against perceived existential threats—from AI to ballot integrity to cartel violence—and to rally support for President Trump and the MAGA agenda.
