Real America’s Voice – War Room with Stephen K. Bannon

Episode #4939 – November 19, 2025

Overview

This episode of “The War Room” is anchored by Stephen K. Bannon and features a dynamic panel with Joe Allen, Julie Kelly, Greg Fouraz, Colonel Self, Kurt Mills, and contributions from Jake Seawolf. The discussion is centered around the latest geopolitical and legal developments affecting the U.S., including covert operations in Venezuela and Mexico, mounting judicial conflicts surrounding Trump administration policies, the ongoing conservative pushback against federal and state-level AI regulation, intensified scrutiny over Islamic organizations in Texas, and internal GOP battles over national security appointees.

The tone is urgent and combative, consistently calling for grassroots pressure, action against perceived overreach, and vigilance against both Democratic and establishment Republican actors.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Covert U.S. Actions in Mexico and Venezuela

• Cartel Violence and Foreign Influence in Mexico (01:34)

  • Jake Seawolf lays out rising cartel violence targeting conservative politicians in Mexico, supported by alleged Chinese Communist Party interests, and the growing national security threat to the U.S.
  • Advocates for “leadership change” in Mexico, suggesting possible U.S. “kinetic strikes” and covert actions.

• Shift in U.S. Strategy Toward Venezuela (02:43–05:58)

  • Bannon and Joe Allen discuss new reporting on the Trump administration’s authorization of covert CIA operations in Venezuela and renewed diplomatic channels with the Maduro regime.
  • Uncertainty persists over the true motive: whether it is about oil, stemming immigration, or drugs (highlighting that Venezuela is a transit country for cocaine, not fentanyl).
  • Quote:

    “If you’re trying to tackle the fentanyl problem, you’re not blowing up boats coming out of Venezuela.”
    — Joe Allen [05:58]

2. Judicial Conflict: The Contempt Inquiry Against Trump DOJ

• Jeb Bosberg’s Contempt Proceedings (09:45–15:38)
  • Julie Kelly unpacks a new D.C. federal court hearing where Chief Judge Jeb Bosberg revives a contempt inquiry against Trump’s DOJ, tied to orders during the enforcement of the Alien Enemies Act, particularly regarding the deportation of Venezuelans.
  • The case could escalate to criminal referrals for DOJ officials and is sharply criticized as political weaponization.
  • Quote:

    “Give it to me in English, not in legalese. What is he doing?”
    — Steve Bannon [12:12]

  • Impeachment calls for Judge Bosberg are gaining traction:
    • Six Republican senators have asked for his suspension pending House impeachment, spurred by his role in non-disclosure orders against GOP senators.
• Julie Kelly’s Substack and Advocacy (18:47–20:09)
  • Listeners directed to “Declassified with Julie Kelly” for detailed reports and live updates.

4. AI Regulation and Republican Infighting

• Controversy over Federal AI Moratorium (24:40–29:55)

  • Joe Allen details efforts by Ted Cruz, David Sacks, and Marc Andreessen to slip an AI regulation moratorium into the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and a pending executive order (EO) seen as a backstop.
  • Concerns raised that the EO enables federal preemption of state regulation, undermining state initiatives on child protection, digital equity, and transparency in AI.
  • Bannon highlights the absence of meaningful federal regulation and the danger of “trusting companies to self-regulate.”
  • Quote:

    “Typically, even a pack of cigarettes isn’t going to tell you to shoot yourself in the head. With AI, it’s completely unregulated in any meaningful way.”
    — Joe Allen [37:25]

• Industry Influence and Risks (39:16–40:44)

  • Allen accuses Marc Andreessen (Andreessen Horowitz) and others of manipulating policy for their self-interest—citing apps that facilitate cheating, deepfakes, and bot swarms as areas of concern.

• Grassroots Action

  • Listeners are urged to use tools like Bill Blaster and contact Congress to block the AI moratorium.

5. Texas Designates Islamic Organizations as Terrorist Groups

• Governor Abbott’s Actions (31:37–35:23)
  • Colonel Self and Bannon discuss Texas’ designation of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations, a “first step” intended to “wake up” citizens to the perceived threat from Sharia law.
  • Investigation into Sharia courts in Texas is anticipated.

6. GOP Foreign Policy Struggles: Pentagon Appointments

• Internal GOP Conflict Over National Security Staff (41:31–44:20)

  • Kurt Mills (The American Conservative) reports Senate neocons are blocking President Trump’s picks for key Department of Defense roles (specifically Elbridge Colby and Austin Dahmer).

  • Asserts entrenched establishment efforts to maintain control over U.S. foreign policy, warning that without personnel reform, “neocon foreign policy will persist.”

  • Quote:

    “Little bureaucrats, quote, unquote, are the people that got us into the Iraq war... and the people who can stop us getting into reckless wars in Iran, Venezuela, etc.”
    — Kurt Mills [44:29]

• Call to Action

  • Urges listeners to pressure the Senate to confirm Trump’s nominees and advocate for a realist foreign policy agenda.

Notable Quotes

  “This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.” [07:34]
