We see further evidence of a Sharia movement with imams making concerning claims. For example, in a recent video posted on X this month, a Texas imam said the following Mamdani is victory. We didn't succeed to conquer Vienna by the sword for 200 years and now it's 10% Muslims. We need to enlarge the Muslim population in America. Sheikh Ustad, an imam from Epic Mosque in Texas, preaches regularly that jihad against the non Muslims and martyrdom is the highest cause and reward in Islam. And he praises Hamas and other terror groups espousing the following My brothers and sisters, we are going to die anyway, so why don't we aim to die as a Shaheed? Shaheed is Arabic for witness, but used in Islamic context for martyrdom on behalf of Allah. All of this while the Muslim observing population in Texas has has grown. For example, in 2000 there were 115,000 Muslims in Texas. In 2020, the most recent data available, it's estimated 313,872% jump. And it's much greater five years later, one can make the claim that not all devotees agree or enforce with Sharia. But no one can deny the increase of Muslim observers in Texas, many of whom likely harbor support for Sharia's tenets. Moreover, Texas ranks third among US states in the number of mosques, with 224 counted in 2020 and and estimated over 300 today.

Senator Tommy Tuberville
The Save America act is most important. It requires voters to show a government ID to vote in federal elections. What a thought. This is common sense. Which is, by the way, 80%, 83% of all American, they support it. According to a 2025 poll just a few weeks ago. There is bipartisan support for it. 95% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats across this country agree that a photo ID should be used in all of our elections. Interestingly, the support also transcends demographics. Among American citizens, 82% of Latino voters, 76% of black voters, 85% of white voters favor photo ID. This really isn't complicated. The Save America act also requires proof of citizenship for an individual to register in your state. If you are here illegally, you should not be voting in our elections. Period. Lastly, the bill requires states remove non U.S. citizens from existing voter rolls. It makes sense, these policies. They're not controversial. Yet the Democratic Party is throwing a tantrum. You should be asking yourself, why is that? Why are they against voter id? No mail in ballots, no ballot harvesting, and one day voting. Why is that? Is it because their illegal voting base will no longer be able to keep them in power once the legislation becomes law. Sure it is. Democrats claim the Save America act is a voter suppression. It's racist. But the American people, they're not falling for it. Don't believe the mainstream media's portrayal of this. The American people have already spoken. The Save America act is a huge majority of Americans and they want it.

John Solomon
When we're talking about Sharia law, I mean this is not really relevant to this committee and what's going on in America today. There's so much we could be dealing with concerning the Constitution and protecting America. White Christian nationalist ideology has been put forward. One of the gentlemen here said something about. What was it certain might have been you, Mr. Spencer. Something that the group put forward as their plan for the future. Some publication or some ideology. Did you mention that?
- [04:16]
Robert Spencer
I don't know. You might be referring to the explanatory memorandum which is. I didn't mention. But it's a captured internal document of the Muslim Brotherhood detailing its program for the United States. Where it says the brothers must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their own hands in the hands of the believers so that Allah's religion is victorious over other religions.
- [04:46]
John Solomon
Right, that's pretty much that.
- [04:47]
Robert Spencer
Just saying we got other religions.
- [04:48]
Stephen K. Bannon
Sir, I've got the floor.
- [04:49]
Robert Spencer
Doesn't make that.
- [04:50]
Mike Lindell
Sir.
- [04:50]
John Solomon
Sir, I've got the floor. You're not Pam Bondi.
- [04:52]
Stephen K. Bannon
Sorry, I say I've got the floor.
- [04:55]
John Solomon
You're not Pam Bondi. That's what I was getting at. And what you're talking about sounds like a Middle Eastern version of Project 2025, another type of manifesto to take over and do all these things and to control our government and to turn it around on its head.
- [05:15]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
We are seeing the Democrats strategy play out in real time in other countries as we speak. I've been saying this for years. All you gotta do is go to Europe. They're us. Ten years from now if we don't pass the Save American act, it's gone. Their leaders are getting fired right and left. They've lost their moral values, they lost their culture and they lost their country. All it started with mass migration which they have allowed completely destroy what they've had for centuries. The socialist controlled Spanish government recently imported 500,000 migrants and are in the process of granting residency. You gotta be kidding me. Or look at Romania where the conservative pro Romanian first candidate was cheated out of a victory in 2024 because of made up claims that Russia had interfered in their elections. Sounds familiar. If we don't pass the Save America act this year, what's happening in Europe won't just be overseas anymore. It's going to be right here in our backyard. Because many of the enemy are already inside the gates. Politicians often warn about the crime or national security threats that illegals pose to this country. But this isn't just about American safety. It's also a serious financial problem. You know that every year now we're having to pay for the illegals that are in this country. It costs you and me and every taxpayer in this country $150 billion. What could we do with that money in our states, in our communities and our neighborhoods? Folks, we have to take our country back. Our borders, we have to take it all back before it's too late.
- [07:13]
Stephen K. Bannon
Welcome Tuesday, the 10th of February, year of our Lord 2026. Senator Tommy Tuberville joins us after giving that great talk on the floor of the Senate. Are we taking our country back or are these bills. I know the House is working through this. We intercut you today with the first Sharia caucus of which you're a member, but that was the House version. He saw the Democrats right there mocking it, talking about the internal memo the FBI has from the Muslim Brotherhood from the Holy Land foundation trial back in the 90s. So Senator Tuberville, in your perspective up on Capitol Hill in the Senate, are we taking this country back?
- [07:53]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
I can't say that we are, Steve. We, we can't seem to chew gum and walk at the same time here. We're were really concerned about what the left thinks, what the Democrats think, what the far left progressive thinks. Instead of saying, listen, we've got the majority in the House and Senate and the White House. Let's get this done. And again, we've got several people up here that already said, listen, there's no way I'd vote to bust a filibuster or I'm not voting for the SAVE act. And I'm talking about Republicans. I mean, they're just out there, blatantly out there. I don't know how they get elected. I really don't, especially on the Republican side. So no, we're not making a lot of progress. You know, we can't make our mind up on whether we want to really play tough or just give in to the Democrats, Steve.
- [08:43]
Stephen K. Bannon
So Eric Schmidt was, was quoted in the Hill today. They talked about, he came back from Mar a Lago of watching the super bowl with the President, he's got to Protect America Act. They want to go on offense. They're in this negotiation, as you know, they sent us 10 things that have to elimina with ice. Each one of them is outrageous. I mean, they get, you know, judicial warrants, all of that, but every part of it is outrageous, particularly since we had a federal judge who just confirmed in the state of California that Newsom state law doesn't override federal law for keeping mask on the ice agents. So in the negotiations, are we, are we drawing a tough line and is Senator Schmidt or are you able to have his back so we can go on offense?
- [09:24]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
There's well at the President's back, especially Senator Smith, myself. But the deal is here. Nobody in the Senate is negotiating with the Democrats. It's the President, it's the White House. We're basically out of it. And they've sent over 10 ideas that they would like for us to look at and pass. First of all, I wouldn't even look at them. I just tear them up. Listen, we got ice, they got a job to do. Let's get the hell out of the way and let them do their job. But for some reason, nobody wants to say that we're afraid they're going to shut the country down, folks. We got the majority here. If they shut the country down, it's their fault. But we're afraid that we're going to get some blame here, Steve. And it just, it's just, it hurts to watch how things are run around here. And again, I guess they've done it for a long, long time. I'm used to getting things done. I'm not used to sitting around. I'm used to backing the American people. And the American people, as I said in that speech, they want the Save Save America act done. I mean, they want it voted on and over with and have fair elections. And again, the Sharia law, all those things that, that you heard from Chip Roy and some of those people, we're in trouble. We're in bad trouble. And again, they're playing cat and mouse here. They want to keep our eye off what really is going on with all these things about shutting the government down or whatever. We better pay attention to the entire thing, especially Sharia law, and vote this election law in, because they have cheated. We probably got a half a dozen people up here in the House and the Senate that weren't really elected. They were elected because they cooked the books. And if we allow that to happen next fall, it will be over with. I think we'll lose the House, the Senate, and President Trump's going to have a hard time keeping his job.
- [11:19]
Stephen K. Bannon
John Solomon's going to join us momentarily after the break about developments in Georgia and what the FBI is reporting already about inconsistencies. Senator Tuberville, are you saying if the House works through rules and votes on next couple of days, are the Senate even going to stick around to even have, even try to move on a standing filibuster? Isn't everybody getting on a plane and going over to the Munich Security Conference conference on Thursday?
- [11:44]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Yeah, there'll be a bunch of more Democrats because the Munich Security Conference is all about the globalists and, and the Europeans and begging for money for our taxpayers, our working taxpayers to send them money so they can survive, basically because they're wasting all their money on illegal aliens or migration coming in. I went a couple of years and it's really a waste of time. But we'll have, we'll probably have four or five seven 37s packed with congressmen and senators going over there for four or five days. And next week we're supposed to be in recess, but I don't know what will happen if we can't come up to some kind of agreement because we'll have to shut down tsa, we'll have to shut down fema, and it'll be a tough road to hoe for some people, especially if they're traveling.
- [12:34]
Stephen K. Bannon
Senator, we got a couple of minutes. What's your advice to the president? He listens to you. What would you tell him about this mess we got up in the Senate with the inability to get the Save America act passed?
- [12:44]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
Well, I had dinner with him Saturday night in, down in Palm beach. And you know, that's, he looked at me, the very first thing he says, we've got to get this passed. We've got to get this passed. And there's no possible way. I mean, again, we got, we got Republicans that coming out and verbally publicly saying, I will not vote for this Save America Act. And you know, when you do that, I mean, you're pretty brave to come out there and say it. And again, we'd have to have 50, 60 votes to get it done. Anyway. There's, there's no, no way a Democrat's going to vote for it. So only way we can do it, Steve, is bust the filibuster. But there's no appetite for that here. We've got a lot of the, the former senator mentality here over the years. And of, hey, we just do not want to nationalize elections. But this is a different country. This is a different time. We have around 14 or 15 blue states that are not going to have fair elections. So that leaves us 35 states in which to win another presidential election in three years. And again, we're losing some in red states. Look at Georgia. We don't have a senator of a red senator for.
- [13:59]
Stephen K. Bannon
From.
- [13:59]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
From Georgia, which is amazing to me. So it's going to be hard. It's really going to be hard. But they're cheating everywhere. Just look at Pennsylvania they sent out in the last presidential election 1.8 million ballots and back 2.5 million. Now, to me, you know, I wasn't real good in math, but somebody cooked the books there and they cheated all over the country. So it's just say we got huge problems. And again, if we don't stand up and say enough's enough, we got majority for the last time and we got seven months to do it. And if we don't bust the filibuster, heaven help us.
- [14:38]
Stephen K. Bannon
Senator, what's your social media? How do people keep up with you.
- [14:40]
Senator Tommy Tuberville
On a daily basis at Senator Tuberville and then at Coach Forgov?
- [14:47]
Stephen K. Bannon
Senator Tuberville, honored to have you on here, sir, giving us the hardest truth of what's really happening on Capitol Hill. We'll take a short break. John Solomon's going to be here. Update on what the FBI is finding in Georgia next in the War room.
- [15:05]
Scott Walter
Alter the CCP's involvement in our tax.
- [15:09]
Stephen K. Bannon
Exempt sector is one of many ways.
- [15:13]
Scott Walter
One of many ways that China has sought to harm America's national interest.
- [15:19]
Stephen K. Bannon
Can you please walk through Mr. Singham's web, the big web of nonprofits, and.
- [15:27]
Scott Walter
Explain how the CCP is using our tax exempt sector to push CCP propaganda? Thank you for the question, Mr. Chairman. I have to say that some of this is speculative because so little is known for certain. And like a good Maoist, Mr. Singham works hard to hide what he's doing. And our nonprofit sector makes that easy. But there's been some very good reporting, especially from the New York Times on this, which uses the number hundreds of millions of dollars Mr. Singham has spent to try to influence politics in America and other countries as well through a vast number of groups. All those groups do different things, but one thing they do is exactly what you say. They all push communist China propaganda. As the New York Times is perfectly clear, none of them are registered under fara. As the Times also points out, they do all kinds of things like the People's Forum. As you said, it both trains and organizes for protests on multiple issues all over America. Other groups operate YouTube channels to reach youth. Others operate fake news websites. Still more lobby Congress operate the Tri Continental Institute, a Marxist think tank, support candidates for office in multiple countries. And in all cases, by the way, they don't just boost the communist government of China. They also support other hostile regimes. For instance, the no Dut Dal group connected to Singham propagandizes for the gruesome dictatorship of North Korea. Singham's wife Jody Evans helps operate Code Pink. And of course their protests famously include disrupting hearings in Congress, which shows their contempt for America and their contempt for the rule of law. So I think this is clearly something that needs additional investigation from multiple parts of the executive branch and I applaud your investigating it here. A lot of these problems involve America's nonprofit sector which is traditionally a glory and a strength of this exceptional country. But foreigners abuse this sector, especially tools like fiscal sponsorship and donor advised funds which aren't inherently bad things in order to hide their influence ops. American's homegrown groups also exploit those tools. Recall the politicized multi billion dollar nonprofit network operated by Arabella Advisors, one of whose presidents admitted their business model which heavily uses fiscal sponsorships is quote, a workaround to the tax regime. This same Arabella network's first major funder whom we can discern was Hans Joerg Wies, the Swiss foreign national and democratic mega donor. Ms. Sutherland discusses a big part of the problem is so called campaign finance reform. It greatly narrows money flows into hard dollar entities like political candidates and parties. But it places no restraints on 501C3 private foundations and public charities. This preference for the charitable sector is.
- [18:30]
Stephen K. Bannon
Explained by the fact today Jason Smith of Missouri today held a hearing at the Ways and Means Committee. The Waynes and Means Committee is mainly talking about taxes and tax structure. Very arcane, but it was explosive. Scott Walter, the president of Capital Research Group was one of the star witnesses. Scott, it was pretty mesmerizing. What was your message? And I gotta applaud Jason Smith for holding this hearing. What you said in a very calm manner was about as explosive as I've seen on Capitol Hill in a while. Talk to me. What was your testimony about foreign money coming into these not for profits, for really political use?
- [19:11]
Scott Walter
Well, as I was saying in the end of what you just had there.
- [19:14]
Stephen K. Bannon
The.
- [19:17]
Scott Walter
Foreigners can easily abuse this sector because there's you don't you know, if you if a foreigner I have a C3 charity. That's my think tank. Right. If a foreigner sends me money, I don't have to tell anybody that I got money from a foreigner. That's true for the whole sector. And there are no limits on the giving, whereas there are strict limits on, you know, the hard dollars to candidates and parties. No limits at all on the amounts that come into the nonprofit sector. And so you have, you know, arguably the two biggest bad guys here are Hans Wyss, a Swiss national. And by the way, he'd given money to the Democrats witness, which the Democrats witness was not very honest about admitting. And the other is the Neville Singham, who is, you know, literally lives in Shanghai, is joined at the hip with the Communist Party regime there, and has all kinds of influence ops. The most famous probably is the People's Forum, which the morning after the October 7th massacre had people on the streets to applaud their good friends there in Gaza. I mean, it's really radical stuff and it's completely unpoliced, unchecked.
- [20:27]
Stephen K. Bannon
Is this because you mentioned Jody Evans, his wife and Code Pink. Part of the conversation today was to highlight treasury to the nation, to the irs, that a lot of what we call the color revolution is because Singham is considered by many to be associated with the Shanghai military intelligence of the CCP and the PLA is part of this is what Jason Smith's trying to get to is that we have to have a massive investigation over the Treasury Department and the IRS to check into who's actually funding this insurrection in the streets of places like Minneapolis, in New York City.
- [21:08]
Scott Walter
Yes, that's exactly what Chairman Smith has been very well focused on. And the thing is, part of the trouble is that Singham is bizarrely, is actually a US citizen still, though he doesn't live here and holds us in blazing contempt, which makes it somewhat harder for the government to investigate him. But given if I hold up in Shanghai for a few years and start doing their government's business, I don't think I have a right to complain. If US Intelligence is going after what's going on here.
- [21:43]
Stephen K. Bannon
Scott, we gotta jump. John Solomon's coming on for some breaking news, but we're gonna play more of your clips tomorrow morning. Where do people go? To find out more capital, research, your social media and more about your investigation into all of this, you can find.
- [21:58]
Scott Walter
Us on exit apitalresearch. Our main website is capitalresearch.org but you really should go to influence watch.org. it's a Wikipedia of the left, sir.
- [22:10]
Stephen K. Bannon
Absolutely extraordinary. Thank you. Look forward to having you back on. We'll get some more clips up there. Explosive testimony today. John Solomon has just finished a big interview with Jim Jordan. He's getting ready for a show that follows us here at 6. But there's some breaking news on just the news, sir, about the FBI in Georgia. Can you get us up to date on what you're breaking?
- [22:31]
John Solomon
Yeah, real simple. That perfect election that Everybody declared in 2020 looks a little less perfect every day when we get new evidence. We knew about the China interventions a few months ago with the driver's licenses coming in. We learned about belatedly the Iran hack of voter systems. But today we're finding out that the recounts in the efforts to count ballots accurately in Georgia were substantially flawed. What the FBI said in an affidavit that was unsealed by a federal judge about 45 minutes ago is that the FBI has substantiated about five irregularities in the vote counting in Fulton County, Atlanta, the major hub, the major urban area of Georgia. This kind of puts a shine on Brad Raffsenberger's claim that everything was fine. It wasn't. The Fulton county couldn't get vote counts to match. There are concerns that they might have faked or altered numbers. There is the FBI declares in an affidavit they have confirmed in Fulton county or the state of Georgia have confirmed that in some cases during the recounts, ballots were double counted, double scanned and double counted, that numbers didn't match up. And then they suddenly just magically matched up with no additional work that there were other and that some ballot images have been lost and that about 315,000 ballots which were certified were not properly certified through Georgia law. Now, why is that important? It's much like the way the FBI and the IRS ultimately got Al Capone. They didn't get him by charging him as being a mobster. They got him by not filing other things like tax law. Here it is a federal felony to fake or fraudulently put out vote counts that don't match or are inaccurate or that don't follow your state's law. You're trusted as an election official in Fulton County. You have to follow the law. It looks like the FBI has some pretty substantial proof that the law wasn't followed. What the FBI agent says in this bombshell affidavit is if we find any intentionality to this that they did anything like they were embarrassed, they didn't want to admit that they couldn't get their votes to match, they could be federally charged with felonies five years later, that is a big deal. It explains why they raided that warehouse. And I'd keep an eye on Arizona. I think a similar issue is brewing there now.
- [24:40]
Stephen K. Bannon
In Arizona. In Arizona, the same type of issue.
- [24:43]
John Solomon
Yep. I would look at 2024 Arizona. I'm definitely seeing some signs of activity there. There was some important information that Abe Hamade conveyed after his election, and I think that that is catching some corroboration and evidence. Not surprising. Abe's a very careful fact gatherer. But I think Arizona has similar issues. Doesn't mean that the election was hijacked or someone. The vote counts are going to flip suddenly. But if you can't count votes, which is your job, you're letting the American people down. And if you fake or make it look like things are okay when it's not, you're in danger of a federal felony. That's what this affidavit makes very clear today.
- [25:24]
Stephen K. Bannon
John, we got about a minute. I know you gotta go get ready for your show. That follows us here in about 30 minutes. This was so scrutinized on the recount and Brad Raffensberger so many times in the media and to the president and to everybody, 100%. This was all by standard norms. There was nothing to see here. This was a safe and fair election. How can we rely upon what he said, given the facts? They're coming out now?
- [25:52]
John Solomon
Well, the FBI clearly didn't.
- [25:54]
Mike Lindell
Right.
- [25:54]
John Solomon
In fact, one of the persons interviewed in the affidavit is his former director of elections, who said, I didn't know some of this stuff and it does seem problematic to me. That's his top guy, the guy that was responsible for this. Listen, at the end of the day, Brad Raffsenberger belatedly over the last few years acknowledged that Fulton county was a mess. That's after we got the Carter Jones report. Some of the other evidence, by the way, all five of the irregularities are all things that Justin News had chronicled between 21 and 24. So the FBI was able to corroborate what we had out there. Brad Raftenberger's changes tune over time. Fulton county has always been a mess. Finally, there's going to be accountability for that county.

Unidentified Interviewer
What percentage of US Muslims believe that Sharia law should be implemented in the United States?
- [27:11]
Stephen K. Bannon
So I'm not aware of survey data on that specific question, however.
- [27:15]
Unidentified Interviewer
Well, I can tell you it's 39%. 39% of Muslims in the United States want Sharia law implemented in the next 20 years. Do you know what percentage of Muslims in the United States support the formation of a Muslim political party?
- [27:32]
Stephen K. Bannon
Again, I'm not familiar with survey data on that particular question.
- [27:36]
Unidentified Interviewer
Number is 46%. Do a couple more. Do you know what percentage of Muslims in the United States support making it illegal to show a picture of the cartoon or cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad?
- [27:49]
Stephen K. Bannon
So, as with the other questions, a lot depends on the wording and the sample, and I would want to see 50%.
- [27:55]
Unidentified Interviewer
That's a lot. Let's do one more. Do you do you know what percentage of Muslims in the United States believe that Islam should be declared as our national religion?
- [28:05]
Stephen K. Bannon
Once again, I would want to look at the methodology of the survey. The question 33%.
- [28:10]
Unidentified Interviewer
This is this is from a survey conducted by the Heritage foundation in 2024. In September of 2024. It was published on October 6, 2024. I got two more for you. Do you know what percentage of American Muslims believe that Israel does not have a right to exist as a Jewish homeland?
- [28:29]
Stephen K. Bannon
I don't know that one either. But if it's from a survey by.
- [28:31]
Unidentified Interviewer
The Heritage Foundation, 43%, you're happy, you know, you can declare that statistics you don't like aren't true, but they that's that's not how I'm going to operate here, Mr. Spencer.
- [28:44]
Robert Spencer
And I'd look to you on this question here. I heard my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who were raising objection to legislation that a number of bills that some of us introduced, particularly one that I introduced that was raising the issue of vetting individuals as we're bringing them into the United States for their adherence to Sharia law. That was the idea. The idea is that Sharia law is inconsistent with our values in Western civilization. So we should know if we're bringing people into the country that may want to advance a system of law or systems that are contrary to our laws. Here's my question. In doing so, my colleagues acknowledged and said that that would mean that Muslims generally would be in fear of deportation or inability to be brought into the country. Does that not suggest that there's a recognition that Sharia law is central to most of the Muslim population throughout the world? And those that come to the United.
- [29:38]
States, it would seem as if they're aware of that, yes.
- [29:41]
And is that true? Is Sharia law central to most Muslims throughout the world?
- [29:46]
Absolutely. Sharia is considered divine law, and thus it takes precedence over all other legal systems. In areas of the Muslim world where it is not fully implemented, such as Egypt or Syria, other countries, it still has a tremendous cultural influence such that elements of it are often enforced by individuals or groups where the government doesn't do so.
- [30:13]
Stephen K. Bannon
That is Robert Spencer right there, one of the world's, if not the world's, leading expert on Sharia law in the West. Unbelievable testimony today in the House. The first anti Sharia law. Sharia Free America caucus as we're down here in Texas for the run up to the primary on March 3rd that has Sharia law on the ballot. Proposition 10 prohibiting Sharia law in the state of Texas. And I can tell you that it is exploding down here with people's interest in awakening to what this issue is. We gave her permission structure, the people that worked in the conference and all of it gave a permission structure for people to talk about this next hour in Warham, Texas. We're gonna go from the actual district level to then talk to in the precinct level about what people are thinking in the north Texas area all the way to a Muslim that converted to Christianity and the hell on earth his life has been.

Talk to Philip Patrick and the team. Do it today. Let's play. We've got Spanberger in the commonwealth of Virginia. The new chairman of the Virginia Republican party just elected. Let me play this and I'll bring him on board. It's hard for me to watch that. Jeff Reyer, you join us. You just were elected. I Think this weekend, sir. I guess congratulations and condolences simultaneously. You're taking over a party that has been basically shattered and they brought you in to rebuild it. Talk to me. First off, how do we get this situation where you have a radical like Span, a deep state radical like Spanberger? She's already put out a slew of executive orders, although she promised on the campaign trail that local authorities and police would work with ice and work in customs and borders. She signed a declaration, executive order that did away with that. She has worked more like a deep state operative than a governor of the Commonwealth. And her first couple of weeks. What say you?

Jeffrey Ryer
Well, I think that's become somewhat typical of the Democratic playbook, is to run as a moderate or somebody who is concerned about the middle class, and then to govern to appease some of the furthest left elements of their own party. It's become exceptional now, really, to find a Democrat who serves in the same manner that they conducted their campaign. And Abigail Spanberger is no different than that. She ran as somebody who was bipartisan and moderate. And we have seen really just an extreme level of partisanship, plus a dramatic shift to blue state policies over the course of a very short governorship. She has only been in office so far for less than a month. She was inaugurated on January 17.

Stephen K. Bannon
Talk to me about that. First off, this radical shift. What she was signing right there, I think, was a redistricting of where they're gonna have, I guess, a referendum in April. I think the court's already nervous about this. But she's taken a state that was essentially. And it flips between 6, 5 Democrats, 6, 5 Republican, with 11 seats. They're going 10 to 1. Is she doing this because she wants to be Newsom's VP and she's got to play smash mouth in the new Democratic Party? I mean, it makes no sense, particularly the way you see the map, the way it's carved up. What's the explanation here and how is that sitting with fellow Virginians?
- [34:38]
Jeffrey Ryer
Well, with fellow Virginians, they're just becoming aware of it at this point, because although the Democrats started working on this, they started working on it a week before the general election last year. So there wasn't really an opportunity for many people to focus on it. And they followed through entirely. We had really some of the best congressional districts this state has had since the institution of one man, one vote. They were compact, contiguous, and observed communities of interest. They really did look, look like model redistricting. And now Governor Spanberger has signed legislation that would put on the ballot, a constitutional amendment as a special election, not as a general election, but as a special election in April, time of the year when Virginia never holds elections. And what it would do is turn it to a 101 state. If you see the map, which they have already produced, to their credit, they have put out a map demonstrating what they're going to do. It unites communities that are so far apart and so disparate that it really looks, it really looks absurd. It is a more egregious gerrymander than one that have been cited like Illinois or the most recent one in California or even the ones in Maryland and New York State. It is really bad. It basically disenfranchises most about 46% of the Commonwealth that voted for President Trump.
- [36:07]
Stephen K. Bannon
What else has she done? She signed a number of executive orders that she never told anybody, anybody about when she ran. I mean, she's really governing like a Newsom or like a Pritzker, like this was Illinois or California when it's far from it. What else has she done?
- [36:23]
Jeffrey Ryer
Well, she has limited the ability and really restricted the ability of local law enforcement to cooperate with ice. And as a result, as we know, in places where there are restrictions on cooperating with ice, you end up, in fact, with a greater deal of difficulty than you do in places where they are cooperating with ICE simply because you have law enforcement that's not cooperating with law enforcement. That's never a good idea if you're interested in actually combating crime. And that's really kind of been the headline of the things that she has passed or rather signed as executive orders as far as the reversals. But in addition to that, the Democratic General assembly is very busy passing a lot of what I would describe as anti business legislation, making it more difficult really to do business here in the Commonwealth and more expensive to do it, especially if you're a small business or a startup.
- [37:22]
Stephen K. Bannon
Chairman Reyer, you were not the pick of the establishment. My understanding there's a lot of grassroots supporting you. The reason that the House of Delegates in the state Senate can pass these things as supermajorities. How did we get. And I don't think you can blame it just on a bad candidate. How did we get into a situation where I believe there's super majorities in the House of Delegates in the Senate, I also think that there were seats lost that people from Virginia just thought could never be lost by a radical Democrat over a conservative Republican. How did that happen? Because this was kind of stepping into a situation you have a systemic failure more than just personalities. How did that happen?
- [38:07]
Jeffrey Ryer
A couple of things. First of all, just so you'll know, the Senate is actually still pretty evenly divided. Thankfully, they weren't up last November, so it's 2119. Obviously we're in a minority, but it's not as severe as a situation in the House. What happened, I think, was failing to learn the positive lessons that we learned in 2024. Trump Force 47 was based on as a volunteer model and volunteer campaign, engaging people who agreed with us and a lot of activists and occasional voters, and really growing our coalition. Although we weren't able to carry the state, we, we improved President Trump's performance rather dramatically over the previous two runs and also managed to hold five of the five of the 11 congressional districts. So it was not a bad year. All in all, the following year, we revert away from that model and we to some extent failed to excite. To a great extent, we failed to excite our activists and our activist base. The exit polls at the end of last year's election showed that while 46% of Virginians voted for President Trump in 2024 of the 2025 electorate, only 42% had voted for President Trump. That's a heck of a drop off of your base. If they're not even keeping pace with the electorate as a whole, and that's somewhat desultory. It had a very bad effect. We need to get back to engaging our activists at the local level, engaging our strongest base supporters and a lot of people who they always say President Trump is the one who brings them out. No question it is President Trump, but it's also the policies that the President promotes and a lot of the values and the principles that we stand for that help to invigorate our base and keep them at that level. And I think that's going to be critical going forward.

Chairman, can you just ryer. Can you just hold on for a second? Because I think the lessons that you guys have learned and are going to implement throughout the country are going to be vitally important in this run up to, in the run up to 26. I can see this in Texas, we're having people that want to come on the show from North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida. The grassroots has got to be. Has got to be ignited, right?

Right?

Stephen K. Bannon
He's always wanted to win that. You guys did a better job. The Trump force 47 talk to us. Give us a couple of minutes on your action plan. You were put in there by the grassroots. You're kind of the anti establishment guy, the Trump guy. Walk us through. Give us a minute or two on what the plan is to turn around Virginia.
- [42:57]
Jeffrey Ryer
Well, the plan to turn around Virginia is fairly straightforward. We know who voted in 2025 and we know who we missed from 2024. And now it's time for us to identify those voters that we're missing, those Republican voters. And that means empowering our local units and our local volunteers to go out and work and attract and talk to those individuals and engage them. One of the things that the Democrats did successfully and they used Covid to great effect for this, was to take their least likely voters and turn them into people that were permanent voters and who showed up in every election. They got them on permanent attributes, absentee lists, they signed them up to continually work them. Our party didn't do that well, we're going to have to do that. And we can't just have our top performance during presidential years anymore. We can't afford that. We need those Republican voters and those conservative voters out every single year. And we need to be spreading a message that, that they find attractive. And most of that message, as you know, is delivered very effectively by President Trump. One of the things I ran on was we should not be pretending to be something that we're not. We should. We are supporters of the president and we need to go ahead and emphasize that he has a lot of supporters here in the Commonwealth. And we, we have a long mission to go.
- [44:17]
Stephen K. Bannon
Amen. If we stick with that, I think we want to visit. I think Spanberger being so over the top is going to play into your hands, because I think the people in the Commonwealth are saying, hey, we didn't vote for this. She didn't run on this. We didn't vote for this. We don't know what's going on. And I think you guys stick to President Trump's policies and I know the president will be very engaged with you helping to rebuild the party there and to make sure we can get back into the ability to strike, you know, get closer so we can strike for a victory. Where do people go to follow you on social media? Where they go to the website of the Virginia Republican Party.

Amen. Jeff Ryer, new chairman just got elected over the weekend. A lot of good grassroots folks in the Commonwealth. Remember, we won in 21 by. What do we do? It was John Ferg said, hey, we just got to get 80, 85% of the Trump vote added to these moms up in Loudoun county, the disgruntled mom, the moms were unhappy because they saw the, really, the Marxist takeover of the schools. That was a winning combination. One big. Now, years later, it's gone away, but it can be rebuilt. Mike Lindell, you've been first off. Tell me about, Give me a minute on your, on your, you've been down in meetings in Mar? A Lago. You've forced Klobuchar out of the Senate into the race. Give me a minute assessment on your, on your governor's race.
- [46:02]
Mike Lindell
Yeah, you guys, last week I came out number one in the polls. And so they let the, I let the president know that he was very happy to hear that, that we were number one. And they, and also right now we've, it's basically down to a couple other candidates. But right now we're down here. I'm raising, I'm able to raise money with everybody in the country because they know Minnesota is the tip of the spear for what's going on there. I've said it before. First day, I'm going to ban Sharia law. I'm going to put in protester laws. I mean, there's so many things going on. But the, the bottom line is it needs someone with, with a business sense to fix Minnesota with common sense. And I need your help, you guys. You can put Mike Lindellgov.com it's Mike Lindellgov.com that's all I need. I've got a great plan. A marketing plan hasn't even been done before that I know of. And we will win Minnesota. 250,000 people voted for Donald Trump in 2020. They didn't even bother to get out and vote in 2022. Well, I'm going to reach those people. I'll tell you if I have to go door to door. But we need to reach them and tell them this is the most critical election at this point in history. We have to win. There is no doubt. We have to win.
