Steve Bannon
I told the donors, you know when we, we basically called he was going to win the primary and everybody oh, this guy was in. Alex Degrasse, who's Stefanik's guy told me back in February when I think this guy was a 2% in the Democratic primary that this guy was going to be the guy. Because the working Family Party and the DSA have a massive ground game. They've essentially copied what the, what the Trump movement, what the MAGA movement did.
Eric Bolling
Obama acorn. That sounds, it seems well like low propensity.
Steve Bannon
You have to get low propensity voters and they've gone out and they've canvassed and they've gotten low propensity voters. They've, you know, they're focused on foreign born voters and here's what you got. And so I think he's got to go through a thorough review quickly denaturalizing. Get him on, get Eric Adams and put him on a plane and send him, send him to Uganda. And I think the president tomorrow ought to have the Justice Department going to California into federal court.
Eric Bolling
Yeah.
Steve Bannon
And, and talk about the unconstitutionality of what they did in California.
Eric Bolling
Prop 50. Yeah, that's going to, that's looks like in the fly too. And then you got nut job in Spanberger who can't say that the, that Jay Jones was wrong for calling for the murder of his. It's great, Steve. It's scary. It's scary how fast the country's turning.
Steve Bannon
It's.
Eric Bolling
It's almost like they don't know who's president right now. I want to take.
Steve Bannon
There's a bowling. There's a common theme of this. The Republican establish. People have to understand they, they are just, they think Trump's a passing summer storm. Look at Dick Cheney. We played today. My producer founded the Dick Cheney ads, you know, anti Trump ads. The Republican establishment hates Trump. They've had no engagement of Trump in any of these elections. He wasn't engaged in New Jersey, he's not engaged in the Commonwealth. Virginia. He's not engaged in New York City. He's not engaged in California.
Julie Kelly
Why?
Steve Bannon
It's always the same mantra. Trump. They use Trump to get, you know, to draw voters to build momentum. Well, they've got momentum. They use Trump anyway. So you might as well get him out and get engaged. He just won the greatest political comeback in American history. If President Trump had been engaged on this from the beginning, particularly in California, I think there'd be a very different outcome. Yeah, but you could get blown out by 10, 20 points in California tonight. That thing could be over the moment the polls close.
Brit McHenry (alternate or guest)
Yeah.
Eric Bolling
Across the important ones. It's going to, it's not going to be. There's no close race of those four. That's, that's the scariest part, Steve. You know, we always talk about is, is even the financial guys, Apple and whatnot, are they just saying they're going to come bring manufacturing back here and just kind of hold their breath until, you know, 2029, when, when there's someone else in office and say, you know, I pledged it.
Steve Bannon
Hold it, hang on, stop, stop. 2029. And there's what you clearly don't watch. The show that follows you. TRUMP, 28. And I'm, I'm, I'm 100% serious. But look at that tonight. Show me what you got. You got nothing. You know what you got? You got Trump.
Brit McHenry (alternate or guest)
Yeah.
Steve Bannon
You got a guy that, that, that started the process of saving this country when it, when all of our battles.
Eric Bolling
I'll bite. I'll bite. I'm gonna bat. I'm gonna bite on Bannon's bait right now if that's. You're a tough segment. No, you're bite Bailey's bait. Don't take that the wrong way. You're a tough. The way he has to do it, he just has to run. He has to say, I'm just going to run and win. Right. It just can't be sanctions. It can't be courts. You just run and let Supreme Court decide.
Steve Bannon
Eric Bolling. Eric Bolling comes up. Hey, I talked to the top, a top constitutional lawyer. He told me point blank, quote, you could drive a Mack truck through the 22nd Amendment. You see all these things. They got all the stuff that Trump stopped Trump on the execution of the maximization strategy of his Article 2 powers and whether they've lost 20 cases at the Supreme Court tomorrow, we're going to go in for, we're going to go in for the tariffs and bringing jobs back to the country. Right. Reordering the entire world's commercial system. We'll find out about that. But so far, the Roberts court has just said that's politics, it's not law. You guys figure it out.
Eric Bolling
You have the phone. You have the phone to the boss. I will tell you something. Tell him those 3,400 billion dollars he's collected in tariffs. Take that, use that for the snap. Put that into the most needy people, pay the military, and he takes that card away from the Democrats. Slam dunk. Midterm elections.
Steve Bannon
I think right now, you know, if the SNAP program was, all the illegal aliens were off it, all the deadbeats were off it, all the scam artists were off it. If we got actually even a mini audit right now and people that really needed and deserve it, I could agree. Other than that, just, just, you can't bend to the Democrats. They're going to keep throwing something else up. I just think, I think we need Trump and we need harder Trump. I think the best solution we've had in this country, Eric, is every time we get to the back and Trump's trying to modulate or people around him and said, you got to reach out to guys, hey, how about this? Suck on this. Give them Trump and maga. Trumpism, full unvarnished. Let's roll. You're seeing tonight, you're going to see tonight when they all talked him out of getting involved in all the campaigns in those states. You know, Winston Sears and Youngkin couldn't be bothered. They couldn't be bothered for four years to implement any MAGA programs. They couldn't be bothered to have Trump down there. They couldn't be bothered when Trump really delivered the victory, when John Fredericks and Maga turned out in 2021, historic proportions, all because this show and John Fredericks and others got him out there. They couldn't be bothered to thank Trump for doing that. And Sears was the worst. She's a never Trumper from way back. Yeah, right. You couldn't be bothered. So what you're going to get tonight, what you're going to get tonight is you're going to get to the Republican Party without Trump. That's what you're going to see tonight and this. And people think that you're going to get these low propensity law information voters out there without Trump. You're kidding yourselves. It's not going to happen.
Eric Bolling
Now hopefully people standing for president.
Steve Bannon
Cliff Maloney, Cliff Maloney says we have a record turnout. I think it's 290,000 or 300,000. The Jack's got to win the margin. Sears is the same. So everybody should go out and vote. Everybody should get there and we'll see what happens. You know, MAG is great when they represent, but right now when you hear about, you know, anecdotal what's happening during the day, you see the polling, you see the amount of money Democrats are putting in cuz Trump's not engaged. You're gonna get what you get. You know what you get by the progressive Democrats in a feckless Republican Party, a gutless Republican Party in New York City. You know what you get, you get a Marxist jihadist as your mayor. I want you to just bolling, you were there 24 years after 9, 11, and Andy Ogles. Andy Ogles, you know, because Andy Ogles, I love him. He's a little bit on the, he's a little bit on the war room crazy side. He put up today the, the videos of the, of the, of the jets of the weapons flying into the World Trade Center. He put it up there. So 24 years after that, in memory of all those heroes that died at, at the, at the World Financial center, at the World Trade center, and all the heroes in the police department, the fire department that died, here's what you got. A guy that's been here six years, a Ugandan citizen that we know nothing about in the big talk mainstream media, has not done anything, anything at all about, about looking into it, sir. You're on it.
Eric Bolling
You're on it. Steve Bannon, appreciate your time. Sorry ate into your show, but have a great show and I love this. Let's do it again sometime, my friends.
Steve Bannon
We may track you down tonight bowling and get your after Mandami's after the results coming to New York City.
Eric Bolling
I'm around for banning. I'm going to be your campaign manager when you run for president.
Steve Bannon
No, no, no, no. Hey, Trump 2028, very simple. Show me. Hey, show me what you got. I got Trump. Show me what you got. Thank you, Eric Bolan. Appreciate you.
Eric Bolling
Thank you, Steve. Always.
Steve Bannon
See, we didn't have a show plan, so hanging out with Derek is the best thing to do. What's the trt? My young charges right here. What's the TRT on our cold open? Boom. We're going to go to a cold open right now. You're in the war room. Let's go ahead and let her rip.
Field Reporter
Number of voters that we're seeing at the two polling places we visited today here in the South Bay area. You know, this is an off year election. There's only one thing on the ballot, but we're seeing substantially more people than I expected here at this polling place. For example, we've seen lines of 20 to 30 people off and on throughout the day. So it'll be really interesting to see the turnout numbers at the end of the day. And what we're hearing from people, really, it's mostly Democratic voters for whom the, the messaging from Newsom and the rest of the Democratic Party has very much landed. They're saying that they're here to counteract Republican gerrymandering efforts in Texas and other places. And they're happy for the opportunity to kind of respond to that as aggressively as, as Newsom and others have been positioning this. Also some dissenters, I will say, not just Republicans but independents. I'll play you a sample of the, you know, the interviews we've been doing, one with a Democrat and the other an independent. Take a listen. Texas is doing something and then we.
Steve Bannon
That's gonna have a negative impact, I feel, right on what's going on. And we have to do something in response to what they're trying to do. Do you think two wrongs equal a right? There's reasons why we need to force bipartisanship.
Political Analyst
And this goes against that.
Political Commentator
That last.
Field Reporter
Point, Katie, that, you know, what Texas did by gerrymandering districts in this sort of nakedly partisan move to benefit Republicans was not good. And the California should not stoop down to that level is one that Republicans here and nationally tried to exploit in trying to get people not to vote for Prop 50. But from what I'm hearing from people, by and large, Katie, that didn't really work. Most of the Democrats, at least that I'm talking to, are really kind of excited about an opportunity finally to sort of fight fire with fire, sort of, you know, take the gloves off, whatever metaphor people prefer. And then, you know, on the other side, we have spoken to some Republicans who also understand that they're basically here defending Donald Trump and Donald Trump's project and the Republican project. It's a very kind of, again, gloves off, tit for tat kind of hard political tactics. And people understand that that's what's happening when they come to the ballot.
Political Analyst
The fact that Donald Trump went from having this huge wind in his back on affordability to now Democrats running on offense on is certainly a threat to Republicans. That's certainly the case.
Steve Bannon
Now.
Political Analyst
Playing in places where you haven't played in a long time is certainly something that every party should want to do. But I don't think you do that through running socialists everywhere. And in fairness to the Democratic Party, Bernie Sanders has been saying this kind of stuff for decades now. So I think what you can maybe learn from these elections if Abigail Spanberger and Mikey Sherrill do well, is that if you run sort of down the middle and run more moderate candidates, you can do really well. The problem Democrats have right now nationally is that people think they're too far to the left, that they care about far left progressive issues much more than they care about things that average People talk about, obviously, cost of living is something that average people care about, but that is not the perception that most voters have of the Democratic Party. And that's why Republicans are trying to elevate the potential new mayor of New York City as a Democratic socialist, because that plays into the narrative that voters already have about Democrats too far to the left. And until they figured that out, they're going to have problem playing in places like West Virginia.
Steve Bannon
There appears potentially to have been some.
Britt McHenry
Tightening in the race in the last few days.
Steve Bannon
Staten island could be a difference maker.
Political Commentator
Donald Trump is trying to weigh in and convince Republicans in this city to vote for Cuomo.
Britt McHenry
Should we be reading into what the margin ends up being?
Political Commentator
Say Mamdani does win, but he doesn't win by, or he wins by less than 10 points. Is that going to matter? Well, I think you've predicted a narrative that's going to be fought out in the next couple days because it's a, it is a three way race. We're not sure how much Sleepwell will lose to Cuomo because of Trump's appeal, which Slave would never make. I was at a campaign rally this weekend. It was all about how he's not going to take bribes from billionaires and not drop out. So Democrats who don't want the party defined by Maudi, I think they will point to that, but his agenda is going to be more important and the way his agenda is discussed. Brennan was just talking about the perception Democrats are viewed as more progressive, specifically what really hurt them. And you saw this in New York last year, those interviews Mamdani was doing on the street. But other interviews, lots of people did, was it was the perception that Democrats were taxing you American taxpayers and using that for hotels for migrants who'd been sent in from Texas. They're using it for surgeries, gender surgeries for prisoners. With Kamala's position. One thing I expect Republicans to hit with Mamdani is a position to make New York a sanctuary for transgender people who are being discriminated against in their own states and offering a fund to help with their treatment, help with their gender transitions in New York. I think there'll be much more of a focus by Republicans on the policies he tries to lay out in New York. I found this covering Bernie Sanders. We might hear socialism and think of the economic basis of socialism and Karl Marx. For a lot of voters, it just means left wing and it means you're taking my money and giving it to somebody else. And that's something Mamdani did a very good job of describing in the campaign. Cuomo did a terrible job rebutting, but something Republicans are very you saw that with Eric Adams. Eric Adams mayoralty was basically destroyed by those sorts of expenditures by Democrats and his inability to explain them. And there are going to be Republicans who wouldn't have been safe but now will be because of those maps but on the president's agenda. Look, the Republican argument all year has been trust this guy, it's going to work out. The tariffs are going to work. You're not paying much for it anyway. If voters are angry about the state of the country, they have not separated themselves from Trump the way at this point four years ago there were Democrats separating themselves from Biden. They were not defending Biden on every decision he made. They were willing to criticize his handling of Afghanistan, for example. The party will ride or die with Donald Trump. That is the not just the strategy that is unavoidable, but based on the way the party's built itself.
Steve Bannon
Ride or die. Well, for somebody who's prepared to ride or die, they didn't really engage him. Across the country from New York, from Manhattan to New Jersey to the Commonwealth to California, now they're saying, hey, there could be a hope for in commonwealth if you have a strong turnout in southwest Virginia. But southwest and central Virginia, Donald Trump dominates. Unbelievable. I think he may have a shot in New Jersey. That's what Cliff Maloney's telling us. If you have a massive, continued, massive turnout between now and the time the polls close at 8pm Eastern Standard Time tonight. So if you're in the Garden State, get the hell out. Get some folks with you and vote. Short commercial break. Back in the warm in a moment. Hey, this is Sarah.

Steve Bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
Brit McHenry (alternate or guest)
Incredibly concerning, and I think that it is an illustration of the attacks we're seeing in our democracy. Sometimes they're blatant and explicit in the manner of these bomb threats, and we have to understand this as part of the general approach, the Trump administration has taken to trying to intimidate voters with baseless allegations of voter fraud as a means of trying to repress the voice of Americans across this country.
Steve Bannon
Okay, there. You're seeing it right there, right at the beginning. This is what you're getting. And if you want to tolerate it, tolerate it. It's not. It's intolerable. That's why it's got to be dealt with. And got to be dealt with by denaturalization in shipping him the help back to Uganda. Right there. Baseless allegations. Yo, dude, he won the 2020 election. I don't know if that was on your radar scope because you weren't a citizen then. Oh, I might be wrong. You might have just got in under the wire. His whole citizenship is highly, highly, highly suspect. Should be reviewed quickly. And then if he lied on his naturalization forms, then get him the hell out of here. Denaturalize him, send him back to Uganda and let him work on it from there. Getting back here, the progressives, because you're going to have a Marxist jihadist, as we've been telling you, you're going to have a Marxist jihadist with their hands on the governmental apparatus of the financial capital of the United States of America and the financial capital of the world. 24 years after Radical, the jihadist, radical Islam struck the World Trade center, killing all those folks about their daily business, basically doing what American citizens do to drive forward the country during their jobs. And of course, the firemen and the police officers that died in the line of duty doing their jobs. And what's the reward you get? How long is the memory? Remember all those speeches every year on September 11th? They'll be remembered forever. Well, hey, they're being forgotten today. They may be remembered forever, but they're going to skip 4. November in the year of our Lord 2025. President Trump is for better or for worse. He is one of the most extraordinary leaders this country's ever had. He saved us from the Clintons in the bushes in the managed decline of this country and has been pushed harder since. They stole the 2020 election from him. Stole the 2020 election because they had to force him out. You've gone beyond the managed decline to a complete and total collapse of the country. This is what divine providence allowed us to see in the four years in the wilderness. Do you remember those years? And I just think that the strongest MAGA voices in the folks, and when I say strongest MAGA voices, I don't mean me or some of the people that come on here, Mike Davis or others. I mean you. You have not been listened to.
Julie Kelly
That.
Steve Bannon
We want President Trump engaged and we don't want to hear from the Republican Party. What you're going to see tonight is the Republican Party outside of Trump. Now, the great Cliff Maloney tells me we may have a shot in New Jersey. If we have a shot, the polls are open to 8pm Eastern Standard Time in the Garden State. Cliff, what do you got for us?
Cliff Maloney
Yeah, Steve, here's the update. So we've obviously been tracking to see what turnout will look like on Election Day. Like I said this morning on your show, you know, we were able to eat in on the vote by mail. We had a 5% jump on the early voting. But it's all going to come down to today. And the good news for Jack is the more Election Day votes that occur today, he is going to win Election Day handily. So we need to run up the numbers right now. My prediction is this. If 3 million people end up voting in total, we will lose this race. If roughly 3.1, we're at least in play. If we get north of 3.2 million total votes in the entirety of this general election, Jack Cittarelli will be the next governor. I'm not saying we're there, but I'm saying that we are on the cusp of being competitive. And we still have, like I said this morning, as of 10:00am this morning, 57,000 Republicans who have a mail in ballot that need to get it to a Dropbox or need to take it to their county office. But outside of that, Steve, if we can get all of these Republicans to turn out the after dinner rush, the after work, this is the time. 3.2 million. If we can reach that, there's a shot that Jack Cittarelli will be the next governor of New Jersey. But that is, you know, we've got two and a half hours left. This is it. And so if people are sitting there, every member of the war room posse, anyone you know in New Jersey, this is the time to call them, to double down, to really ask them to do you a favor, not just for you, but for the entire America first movement for our republic. We can flip Jersey, but we've got to get to that 3.2 million total vote for this general election.
Steve Bannon
Where, where was the total vote in, in 2021? Do you remember?
Cliff Maloney
Yeah, it was much lower. I mean we're talking about, you know, I'll have to pull the exact number for you, but I mean we're talking about a significant increase. Let me share this with you, Steve. We have certain counties that at 2 o' clock today, if you look at the 2021 numbers, 100% of the voter turnout that we had in 2021 just for total votes in those counties was matched. And so I'll pull for my team right now what the actual total amount of votes were. I've been so focused on the vote by mail and so we're pulling all of this preparing for the livestream tonight. But at 2 o' clock to have tons of these counties that are already where they needed to be, it shows you that we have massive turnout on election day.
Steve Bannon
What the mail in ballots, the 57,000 that are out there haven't been returned. What is the absolute, do they have to be stamped by some government official by 8pm tonight? If they come in after 8pm I mean, if you put them in a Dropbox, they're going to be picked up immediately. Right. Or if you take them to a registrar, but you just can't put them in the mail. Right. You have to go deliver this somewhere.
Cliff Maloney
Yeah, well, you can put them in the mail as long as they're postmarked by today, which, you know, lets you go to the post office and get them postmarked and make sure it's not guaranteed. What I would do is I would take the ballot to your county office where you can hand it in or. I can't believe I'm saying this, but we're desperate right now. Go to the drop boxes because as long as it's in by 8pm it will count. And so that, that is the big ask right now. You can't take your ballot to your local polling location because what you do, you surrender it. You can only cast a provisional ballot. And so I just want to be clear with everybody. Take it to a Dropbox or take it to your county office where they can accept it. But Steve, these 57,000, that could be the entire election.
Steve Bannon
I think the number in 2021, my staff is telling me might be 2.6. I'll check this out afterwards. 2.6 or almost 2.7. So you ask for a significant. Okay, but, but, but you're saying you hit.
Cliff Maloney
I'll confirm that for. That is right. That is right.
Steve Bannon
So you anticipate 600,000, an increase of 600,000 votes in an off year election, Is that what you're saying?
Cliff Maloney
Yeah, I mean, this decision desk, as much as I don't follow them too often. Yeah, I mean, they're putting out right now, they're projecting about 3.1 to 3.15 is where we're going to be. So, yes, you are correct. The number total was roughly 2.6 mil. But like I said, this isn't me predicting this out of thin air. This is looking at the counties that we currently see coming in and their turnout numbers compared to 2021 show that you're going to have a significant increase.
Steve Bannon
That's amazing. The issues driving this right now still, affordability, electrical taxes, all that.
Cliff Maloney
Yeah, of course. I mean, electric bills are the number one issue. I mean, these Democrats have run New Jersey into the ground. Obviously crime is a major issue. Siding with illegal immigrants over American citizens. I mean, it's all the America first talking points. Right? It's all the things that we ran on in 2024. And it's still the same response from the left. Double down on being insane, double down on being crazy. Double down on woke and call Donald Trump Adolf Hitler. That's their whole message. I mean, it's a huge opening for us, Steve. This is the only reason New Jersey's in play. Because the left is so stupid they cannot come up with a plan. And Jack Cittarelli is presenting real solutions, a real plan, real leadership. It's the only reason New Jersey's in play.
Steve Bannon
They're tied to illegal aliens and they're tied to the visa scams. If they don't do that, they don't have a party. They know that. That's why they're getting increasingly violent. Cliff, one more time, where do people go to find you on social media? What's the website? We're going to be dipping in and out of your live stream and we'll have you on as polls start to.
Cliff Maloney
Close in Jersey on Xaloney going to give Constant Updates and NJChase.com you can follow the program. Appreciate you, Steve.
Steve Bannon
Appreciate you man. You're doing the hard work. Once again, Cliff Maloney and the team at the tip of the tip of the spear. Remember what, a year ago, I guess a year ago tomorrow, right? Unbelievable. Okay, in New Jersey, you heard ride to the sound of the guns. You got till 8 o'. Clock. If your MAGA or Trump supporter hit it, Cliff Maloney said we got a shot. If you have a massive turnout between now and 8, 8pm tonight. Short commercial break. Back in the warm in just a second. Our host Stephen K. Ban. Okay, so Cliff, who was one of the the key guys along with Charlie Kirk's team and the war on posse, the precinct strategy, everybody rode into Pennsylvania and delivered a massive, I, I would say an upset win in 24. Of course, in New Jersey everything's trending our way. It's the whole Scott Pressler returning Pennsylvania into the new Ohio, in New Jersey into the new Pennsylvania. We'll have to see. I mean they're talking huge numbers. You talk 3.1 million, which I think is 500,000. I'll get that number in a second. 500,000 over a couple of years ago. Four years ago. That's just, that's mind boggling. I want to play the mom Donnie. We're going to go to the Commonwealth of Virginia in just a moment, but I want to play mom Donnie one more time. Can we play that clip?
Brit McHenry (alternate or guest)
Incredibly concerning and I think that it is an illustration of the attacks we're seeing on our democracy. Sometimes they're blatant and explicit in the manner of these bomb threats. And we have to understand this as part of the general approach the Trump administration has taken to trying to intimidate voters with baseless allegations of voter fraud as a means of trying to repress, suppress the voice of Americans across this country.
Steve Bannon
Baseless allegations of voter fraud. Baseless allegations of voter fraud. You hear that? It's going to start already. And wait till he Wins tonight. Wait till he wins tonight. You're going to have your nose rubbed in it. Told you this back when he won in the primary. In what? July? In July. It's coming. You add that to Newsom. I saw a number earlier Talking about a 20 point victory in California because they did not engage Trump. RNC didn't get involved. Trump didn't get involved. I can't tell you how important California is. This redistricting. It's also what they're doing. I agree with President Trump. President Trump put it out today on truth Social feels illegal and unconstitutional. But I take it's going to take somebody from the Justice Department, Harmey Dillon or somebody. Let's get on with it. How about dropping a suit tomorrow and let's just roll. We have no doubt what happens when we roll hard. When President Trump rolls hard, what happens? Good things. Right. When he's talked to moderate. What happens? Middle of the road things. Trump is best when you're getting the pure version of it. Have I talked to you about Trump 2028 yet? Later for that. Brit McHenry. Brit, where are, where in the hell are you?
Cliff Maloney
Ma'?
Steve Bannon
Am? You're in the Commonwealth of Virginia somewhere. Where are you?
Britt McHenry
I am. We are in Loudoun County. We are at winsome Earl Sears watch party behind. If you can see, it's a little empty right now. We're waiting for her to arrive but the media presence here is incredible. We heard others remarking on these risers. They were expecting a lot less less than this. So it's a packed room in terms of the media anticipation for her arrival and for this watch party. And she will need a lot of people to show up today as we discuss Steve, because early voter turnout has been the highest in Virginia since in any other non presidential election year. Obviously there's a huge turnout when we have presidential elections. Last year, Virginia was the fourth highest voter turnout always possible, red or blue. State Governor Glenn Youngkin has been wildly popular here. But for some reason that number his high approval ratings of 50% and above have not translated to early predictions for winsome Earl Sears. So with 1.4 million votes being cast in early voting, 300,000 more than the last gubernatorial election, you have to wonder which of these women will become the first female governor in the state of Virginia.
Steve Bannon
The they are. It's a guy named Hines. I think it is. I go to his site quite a bit. He's got the best predictive model for looking at all of it. And I think he's a. I would say He's a Republican if not a MAGA conservative, but he's pretty good. He's got Spanberger and looking at his analysis and cross tabs and everything, he's got spamberger at about 8, he thinks spamberger closes out early at 8%. But you've also got down, you got down ticket. Right. You got Meres, which is key because he's running against a guy who wants to see people, children killed. What else the other flavor. And by the way, this is what happens, Bret, when you join the team close to election day. You get the hardest location of all. Loudoun County. Loudoun county for maga. Right. Talk to you. What else you're hearing about the rest of the tickets down there.
Britt McHenry
I actually have a source in the Spam Burger campaign saying they're actually very concerned about Southwest Virginia. All of the early voting turnout really focused. I mean not all of the votes, but much of it was in Northern Virginia, which has been known to be a bit purple and or certifiably blue. So Southwest Virginia, a lot of those districts have been slow to recover. Report Winsome Earl Sears will for sure need a large turnout today because as you mentioned, yes, that's been an 8 point, 10 point swing for her. But I think the attorney general race is going to be very interesting because as you mentioned, those texts by Jay Jones, you know, it was a bit of an uproar where I live in Northern Virginia when those were released about three weeks ago. Very graphic. Like these were not just casual, hey, I'm, you know, making some jokes with my friends. These were very violent text messages that Jay Jones sent three years ago. And Abigail Spamberger did not condemn those. Right. And she just didn't have much of a messaging there. She had Barack Obama campaigning for her this weekend. President Trump sent out a call and said we need to really support our candidates the other night. He didn't mention Sears by name. But there's been a bit of a disconnect in the history with governors in Virginia just sort of stepping aside. So I wouldn't look too much into that, but it for sure is heated. And I think also you have to keep in mind, Steve, the hundred delegates that are also open, open seats, 100 open seats in Virginia. So we need to see how many of those go red as well. I will be keeping a tab on that.
Steve Bannon
Well, I think the House of Delegates is already what, one seat for the Democrats are thinking about closing that or flipping it. But but they could lose as many as three or four more seats in The Commonwealth also, you know, John Fredericks had the audience will remember last cycle in 2001, Fredericks came up with a strategy of we carpet bomb because Trump wasn't going to get involved because Youngkin's not a Trump guy and Youngkin didn't want him involved. It wasn't like, you know, President Trump said, I'm not going to do it. He wasn't invited. But Fredericks had this theory of which he's tried to play out here the last couple of weeks of go down to southwest Virginia and central Virginia, which is basically Trump country, and perform at presidential year numbers. I think, John, I think we came in and the war was very engaged back then. We came. I think it was 85% of turnout, which tipped it for Youngkin. This time it's been basically nothing. In fact, last night, correct me if I'm wrong, Brit McHenry, I believe when President Trump did the teletown Hall, I'm not sure he ever mentioned and Sears has been a never Trumper for a while. I don't think he ever mentioned her name by name. He talked about the gubernatorial candidate, but he did not. So right there, you're kind of going against the headwind, are you not, ma'? Am?
Britt McHenry
Absolutely. And you nailed it. Glenn Youngkin is looking at his own possible presidential run as well. So not maga, not on board. And that very likely was why there wasn't a name callout, which for where she was standing in the polls going into tonight was needed. I mean, that would have been icing on the cake, let's face it, to have the president endorsing you by name. That did not happen. So we'll see how close. Close it is. But a lot of I can just tell you from being in this area, not just reporting here, a huge fascination with this governor election. So and that showed in the early votes. And of course, we'll keep you posted on anything else we hear, but the attorney general one is very controversial.
Steve Bannon
Well, Slotkin, Slotkin, Mickey Sherrill and Spamberger. That's the new Democrat. You know, front porch. You get a national security, CIA intelligence coming out of the Naval Academy, you pick it. They put that as the front porch. They get all the radical transgender policies in back of it. But you put that up there to make suburban people feel comfortable, digital, safe pair of hands, and you run on the most radical platform possible. So that's their game plan. We're going to come back to you, Britt. Coverage starts. In fact, Solomon's going to pick up and do some pre game as we're doing here. Coverage is going to start, I think at 7 o' clock with the Studio 6B folks. They're going to have a live audience up in New York. We're going to come and take the baton at 9pm Eastern Standard Time and go to whenever, I guess California and the rest of them are called, should be around midnight or sometime thereafter, maybe one. We're going to be here. We've got Pac, we got folks all over the place and we put them in the most important places. That's where we're going to split the Commonwealth. We're going to have I think Serrano down in Richmond. And we've got since Loudoun county in Northern Virginia has been so important, particularly in the parents rights movement, kind of where that revolt started in the Commonwealth and really kicked it off across the country. It was, I guess in Dallas, in Florida and in Northern Virginia that got rolling. And so Brit McHenry's there for us. Britt, what's your social media in case people want to keep up with you between now and the time we get you back on Real America's Voice.
Julie Kelly
Yeah.
Britt McHenry
And I'll be tweeting updates on x. Britt McHenry on Instagram, Britt McHenry and TikTok real Britt McHenry. And it would be a pleasure to come back on with you, Steve.
Steve Bannon
Yeah, we'll see you back in. We'll see you back during the evening. Thank you, man. Appreciate you.
Julie Kelly (alternate or guest)
Thank you.
Steve Bannon
I got some, I got Julie Kelly yet. Julie. Julie Kelly. Is Julie on phone? Are we out of hair and makeup? Wearing hair and makeup. Julie Kelly, your lovely visage. What do we oh, that's right. You now only you only do the afternoon shows. Right. Because hair and makeup is better. What do you got for us, ma'?
Julie Kelly
Am?
Steve Bannon
You're part of everything is on fire right now. What's going on?
Julie Kelly (alternate or guest)
I know. It really is. There's just so much going on. So it looks like House Judiciary today announced an investigation into AT and T and Verizon, especially Verizon, for producing those cell phone records of eight or nine US Senators and one House member. That was the Verizon subpoena that Jeb Osberg put a nondisclosure order on that you and I have talked about. AT and T, however, did not produce those records. But I think that House Judiciary still wants to see to the extent that they can, communications between Special Counsel Jack Smith and AT and T in seeking that subpoena. So that's new. I Think the big news today are the disclosures by Acting U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan in the Eastern District of Virginia. She's the one who brought that to count criminal indictment against James Comey. Lot of motions and briefs. You know, filing fast and furious. Jim Comey last month seeking a filed a motion to dismiss based on selective prosecution. Lindsey Halligan filed the government's response yesterday.
Steve Bannon
Along with her because I want people to go to your Twitter and we want to get it up. Halligan essentially simplify it for legal morons like ourselves. Halligan kind of called his bluff. He came in and said this is malicious prosecution. She doesn't know what she's talking about. This was all normal course of business. And she kind of dropped a dime on him, did she not, ma'? Am.
Julie Kelly (alternate or guest)
She absolutely did. And what and I've been posting this. I know Mike Davis has posted it. And you've talked to him as well. And that is the exhibits that Lindsey Halligan attached to this, the government's response. And these contain text messages between Dan Richmond, the Columbia law professor who also was a special FBI employee. Employee. He was Jim Comey's conduit between whatever Comey wanted to pitch to the media and whatever the media published, especially Michael Schmidt at the New York Times. There's text messages back and forth. These disclosures really give a view into Jim Comey's extensive leak operation out of the FBI to spin the Clinton email investigation to plant the see seeds about the Trump Russia collusion investigation and then of course, to protect himself and have himself portrayed in a positive light because he was under fire from both sides at that time. But the big revelation, I think is the notes that Jim Comey took either during a meeting or some sort of call on September 26, 2016, and that again confirmed that he understood that this Russia gate information was being ceded by Hillary Clinton, her campaign. The notes there. I know you talked to Mike Davis, but the big one that I think I talked about earlier.
Steve Bannon
Julie, Julie, hang on, hang on for the big one. We're going to take a short break. The Julie Kelly is with us as you to run up to election night coverage.

Not so sure he's a legitimate legal citizen, but that won't stop this progressive Marxist crowd in New York City. Julie Kelly Boasberg, you got so much going on. And by the way, Julie, I did get a copy of the book Injustice from you from the Washington Post team that I'm going to send to you, to your home for you to read. You will have a laugh a page, ma', am, as they have the long faces over the collapse of the Merrick Garland Jack Smith. But the inside details are unbelievable and your reporting is dead spot on. So I got that for you. Hit the highlight reel. We got a couple minutes left, ma'.
Julie Kelly (alternate or guest)
Am, so thank you for that. I actually bought the book on Kindle, so I will be posting snippets of that because it actually is just what I've read so far, a laugh a minute. But we are going to get more insight into exactly what Jack Smith was up to, especially after the Mar A Lago raid. It's so absurd. These people are so dirty and corrupt and stupid. So it's really time that they are held accountable.
Steve Bannon
Hang on, hang on. Because I only got time for this. But I want to say something. What I want to do is go back for your substack, in particular your Twitter feed and your hits on War Room, and compare and contrast your reporting at the time to what? Because these guys got the inside baseball. They got the inside baseball at the Justice Department. And when you compare and contrast both, you realize how purely evil Merrick Garland, Jack Smith and the entire operation was.
Julie Kelly (alternate or guest)
Julie, it was. I mean, as you and I talked when I was covering both court proceedings in Washington and then, of course, in Florida, I saw exactly what these guys were made out of. And you know what? So did Judge Aileen Cannon. So. But now what's hilarious is that Jack Smith is finally being portrayed as the loser that he is. And now you've Got even Democrats and establishment DOJ sycophants from msnbc. Carol Lenning, who wrote the book, now admitting that there were so many mistakes made that delayed the case getting to trial or advancing before the election. So it doesn't look like Jack Smith has a lot of friends on either side anymore, which is perfect. He doesn't deserve any. And I look forward to the continued investigation into him and his team of thugs, Jay Bratt, David Harbach, J.B. cooney, Molly Gaston and Tom Windham. There was some emails floating around about Tom Windom today in seeking President Trump's cell phones.
Steve Bannon
I tell you, Julie, we're going to get you back on tomorrow because there's so much going on, this exploding every day. But I do want people to go to your substack because you work on things there and particularly your social media feed. So where do folks go?
Julie Kelly (alternate or guest)
Yes, Declassified with Julie Kelly on substack. I'm on x Julie.underscore Kelly2. I also have some reporting, especially dating back to the Mar A Lago raid and the Florida court proceedings on Real Clear Investigations.
Steve Bannon
I can't wait for your going through this book because it's going to be pretty amazing. The tale they tell is 180 out from reality and what Julie Kelly reported at the time. Compare and contrast. Julie Kelly, you're a rock star. Thank you, ma'.
Julie Kelly
Am.
Steve Bannon
Appreciate you.
Julie Kelly (alternate or guest)
Thank you. Thank you.
Steve Bannon
So, Lindell, I was getting calls throughout the day. You're in, you're in D.C. bothering people. What are you up to, brother?
Julie Kelly
Well, I was at the Senate today over there talking to senators about Arctic Frost and our election platforms. Isn't it amazing that all the machines are going bad in New Jersey?
Political Commentator
What?
Julie Kelly
You got to be kidding me. And then, by the way, Steve, when I went into. I've seen it since. When I walked into the Senate building, the first one I seen was Adam Schiff. It was like he's seen a go. He pops out. He's probably thinking, I thought I already destroyed you, Mike Lindell. Well, then somebody chased him all the way down the hallway telling him about Jesus. And it was, I'm watching. They weren't with me. I'm going, wow, this, this guy. It's his turn to, to be attacked, Steve, and he needs to be put in prison. But you know what I've learned today so much about Arctic frost and how MyPillow was the most attacked company in history. And then also with our election platforms, what the, what the senators and stuff, it was going to be coming on as we go into the future here. All this stuff going on today in New Jersey and stuff with these problems. I hope it's a gateway where people say, hey, let's look into these. We've got to look in deeper this. I mean, isn't it funny how ATM machines and everything else seems to work out fine and you get there and you have all these problems. Everybody, this has been going on and we've got to secure our elections and save our country.

This is an I heart podcast.
Date: November 4, 2025
Podcast: Real America’s Voice (iHeartPodcasts)
Host: Steve Bannon
Guests: Eric Bolling, Britt McHenry, Cliff Maloney, Julie Kelly, Field Reporters, Political Analysts
This episode of "The War Room with Steve Bannon" centers on the pivotal off-year election day across multiple key states, analyzing real-time turnout, party strategies, and the dominant influence (or lack thereof) of Donald Trump in current Republican politics. The show delves into state-specific contests (notably, New York City, California, New Jersey, and Virginia), the ideological divides shaping both major parties, and predictions of electoral outcomes based on grassroots mobilization, voter turnout, and national narratives. The episode is interspersed with commentary on election security, the state of the GOP, and updates on legal battles tied to national political figures.
“You want to tolerate it, tolerate it. It's intolerable. That's why it's got to be dealt with.” – Steve Bannon (17:24)
“The best solution we've had in this country, Eric, is every time we get to the back and Trump's trying to modulate... Give them Trump and MAGA. Trumpism, full unvarnished. Let's roll.” – Steve Bannon (05:10)
“They're here to counteract Republican gerrymandering... They're happy for the opportunity to respond to that as aggressively as Newsom and others have been positioning this.” – Field Reporter (08:09)
“If 3 million people end up voting in total, we will lose this race. If... north of 3.2 million total votes... Jack Cittarelli will be the next governor.” – Cliff Maloney (21:31)
“These disclosures really give a view into Jim Comey's extensive leak operation out of the FBI... to protect himself...” – Julie Kelly (39:37)
On Democratic organizational tactics:
“They've essentially copied what the Trump movement, what the MAGA movement did.”
– Steve Bannon (00:10)
On the GOP without Trump:
“What you're going to get tonight is you're going to get the Republican Party without Trump. That's what you're going to see tonight...”
– Steve Bannon (05:40)
On Trump’s potential 2028 run:
“TRUMP, 28. And I'm, I'm, I'm 100% serious.”
– Steve Bannon (02:36)
On American political polarization:
“You have not been listened to. We want President Trump engaged and we don't want to hear from the Republican Party.”
– Steve Bannon (20:39)
On what “socialism” means to American voters:
“For a lot of voters, it just means left wing and it means you're taking my money and giving it to somebody else.”
– Political Commentator (12:45)
On legal revelations and DOJ conduct:
“These disclosures really give a view into Jim Comey's extensive leak operation out of the FBI...”
– Julie Kelly (39:37)
The tone throughout is urgent, combative, and unfiltered, echoing Bannon’s signature style. The show oscillates between banter and impassioned calls to action, laced with populist, anti-elite rhetoric.
In this episode, Steve Bannon and guests argue that the future of the Republican Party—and American democracy—is at a crossroads shaped by turnout, Trump’s direct engagement, and the growing boldness of progressive Democratic activism. The conversation lays bare the deep factionalism, grassroots energy, and sharp ideological contrasts driving the current political moment, with persistent calls for maximum MAGA mobilization and little patience for compromise. Legal and electoral battles, especially those involving perceived misconduct or government overreach, are spotlighted as emblematic of the broader struggle over the country's direction.
Useful for:
Anyone seeking a rapid yet nuanced catch-up on the themes, tactical disputes, state-by-state battles, and bigger-picture anxieties animating MAGA-aligned Republicans on election night, November 2025.
