steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified		Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I've got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
		The people have had a belly full of it.
		I know you don't like hearing that.
		I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
		It's going to happen.
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼		And where do people like that go to share the big line?
unidentified		MAGA Media.
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼		I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified		Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified		War Room.
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
rachel maddow ▲ ● ▼		Sometimes the vote in a national election is about the fundamentals.
unidentified		You know, like is this candidate a good choice on the economy?
rachel maddow ▲ ● ▼		Sometimes it's about a different kind of fundamental.
		Does this candidate say he likes Hitler?
		Sometimes it's a more personal thing.
		When it comes to just liking each of these candidates or not liking each of these candidates, Americans broadly like Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walls, and they broadly do not like Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance.
		The latest AP poll on just this sheer question, do you like him or don't you?
		It puts Kamala Harris plus five favorable, Tim Walls plus five favorable.
		It puts J.D. Vance...
		Minus 16, unfavorable.
		And Donald Trump, minus 17, unfavorable.
		That's its own kind of election fundamental as well.
		You know, and maybe this election will come down to the fundamentals, right?
		Number one, economic basics.
		The Harris and Biden administration with a rip-roaring economic record to run on literally the envy of the world.
		Maybe it'll be on, number two, likability of the candidate.
		Voters like Harris roughly 22 points more than they like Donald Trump, who they really don't like at all.
		They just flat out like her and don't like him.
		She's positive, he's negative.
		She's positive by a little, he's negative by a lot.
		Another fundamental, number three, quality of the campaign.
joe scarborough ▲ ● ▼		He said, this is not about blood.
		This is not about blood.
		We are not bound by blood.
		We Americans are bound by a creed.
		And I remember Peggy Noonan writing, and when character was king, explaining why Reagan believed what he believed about immigrants.
		She said, whether you have been here for 10 generations, or whether you just got here last week.
		You are part of a story.
		You are a part of a history.
		That blood that has been shed on the battlefields across the world for Americans' freedom, it has been spread, shed for you, and it has been shed for people who have been here for 10 generations.
		We are all part of the same family with the same history.
		And here's the punchline.
		We are bound by the same creed.
		And that is a creed that Donald Trump does not understand.
		That is a creed that Stephen Miller does not understand.
		That is a creed that Silicon Valley certainly understands.
		Because America dominates the world in tech.
		Because of immigrants and because of people whose parents immigrated here.
		It changed America.
		It changed Silicon Valley.
		It changed the world.
		Once again, immigration comes in and makes America stronger.
unidentified		As a few hours ago, Trump ally Steve Bannon is a free man, released from prison just days before Election Day.
		Bannon served a 120-day federal sentence for contempt of Congress charges after refusing to comply with the subpoena from the House Select Committee that investigated the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
		And the timing of his release could not be more critical.
		The New York Times put it this way, quote, Bannon's release from prison will unleash an agitator into a heated campaign.
rachel maddow ▲ ● ▼		The third election in a row in which Russia has tried to interfere to try to get Trump into the White House.
rachel maddow ▲ ● ▼		How do you assess the magnitude and the type of interference they're attempting this year compared to what they've done in his previous two elections?
unidentified		Well, as you said earlier, Rachel, he's at it again.
		This time he's not even trying to hide his hand, and he has far more sophisticated tools.
		You know, his AI is better, so he can make these fake videos.
		He has done things like spend $10 million trying to buy American influencers and get them parroting his lines and not even know it's happening.
		But he's also got a brand new, very, very powerful tool, which is Elon Musk and X, You know, in 2020, the social media companies worked hard with the U.S. government to try to do content moderation to try to catch this stuff as it was happening.
		But this time, we have Elon Musk talking directly to the Kremlin and ensuring that every time the Russians put out something like this, it gets 5 million views on X before anybody can catch it.
		So it's quite dangerous.
		Although I do think the American electorate has gotten more sophisticated and more savvy about this stuff.
		This, this just in.
		Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon has been released from prison this morning.
		He served four months in the federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut for contempt of Congress.
		In 2022, Bannon was convicted on two counts for not complying with a House Select Committee subpoena as part of an investigation into January 6th.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Live from New York, the world's financial capital.
		You're in the war room.
		It's Tuesday, the 29th of October in the year of our Lord, 2024.
		We're, what, six and a wake-up away from one of the most important political days in the history of this country.
		But I want to make sure everybody understands something.
		And you see from our great staff here, and I'll talk a little bit about...
		The production team and our co-host and, of course, the War Room Posse, all the great efforts you made so that it was next man up.
		And it's now my turn, right?
		It's my turn to be next man up, as you guys have done such a magnificent job over the last four months.
		Understand something.
		And this has to be very clear.
		The Democrats and those radicals you just saw on MSNBC and CNN and Joe Scarborough and that entire crowd, right?
		They had Robert Kagan's wife Who brought this entire debacle on Ukraine on us.
		They have no intention of giving up power.
		We have a three-phase, and this is why it's so important for this audience.
		You're the backbone of this movement.
		We have two things we're going to talk about today.
		The get-out-the-vote effort focused on our first phase, which is November 5th.
		Then the second is to make sure that they cannot steal the election with Mark Elias and others of the nullification project that they're bringing in, which goes from November 5th all the way to Inauguration Day, but January 6th being a key part of that, which we'll talk about in a second.
		The other is the delegitimization process.
		I have never heard, and I think most people would agree, The rhetoric that's come out about American citizens calling this audience, not just Donald Trump, and not the people around Donald Trump, that's bad enough.
		Calling us fascists, but calling you fascists.
		Saying that that fantastic, that amazing rally in Madison Square Garden that could never be pulled off by Kamala Harris.
		Or the Democrats.
		With that energy and people from Tulsi Gabbard to Elon Musk, just the broad cross-section you had of American entrepreneurs, Vivek Ramaswamy, you had these powerhouses up there, right?
		And they're trying to smirch that with one influencer's kind of throwaway, not funny line.
		I can tell you in coming from, in being a political prisoner in a federal prison, That the young men in this country that are African-American and Hispanic detest, detest Kamala Harris.
		They detest her.
		We're going to go into details today and at the press conference of why that's up.
		But we have a chance to move past race on November 5th.
		Everything, everything, everything we have fought for for so many years is all coming to fruition.
		And we have to have a convergence.
		My fear is that some people, I think, are trying to lean on the shovel and say, look at the polls, these polls, and Trump always under polls, and he does this, Trump's up three, four, five.
		Hey, maybe that's the case, but that's theoretical right now.
		Reality is the electorate we bring on November 5th, and that gets back to you.
		That gets out to get the vote.
		Look, Elon Musk, Is one of the smartest guys in the world, right?
		If not the smartest practical engineer in the world.
		Charlie Kirk is incredibly smart.
		Look where they've put their efforts over the last couple of months.
		Look where Elon Musk wrote $150 million worth of checks the last couple of months.
		It is flat out get out the vote.
		And that's where this audience comes in.
		Your efforts have been magnificent.
		The co-hosts that have done this for four hours a day and a couple hours on Saturday, and then plus other streaming we've done with Grace and Mo, the incredible thing of these people stepping up is everything to motivate you to make sure that you get out and vote.
		You know, Nancy Pelosi...
		Sent me to a federal prison.
		She sent me to a federal prison as a political prisoner to do two things.
		To make sure that she tried to tamp down the power of this show.
		Right?
		Tamp down the power of the show.
		And also to break me, Nancy Pelosi, take out your number two pencil and write this down.
		This show has never been more powerful.
		The voices behind it have never been more powerful.
		The audience has never been more powerful.
		And we're going to deliver a knockout blow to your progressive insanity on 5 November.
		And then we're going to secure the deal after that.
		And number two, the four months in federal prison not only didn't break me, it empowered me.
		I am more energized and more focused than I've ever been in my entire life.
		And I can see clearly, just like in 2016 and in 2020, exactly what's going on here and what we have to do to defeat it.
		I want to go back through the three phases.
		Number one is 5 November.
		All that matters right now in places like Pennsylvania and in Michigan and in Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, obviously other states, but these seven battleground states is to deliver something that takes us to where Ohio and Florida are today.
		We have to put this beyond their ability to steal it.
	Because don't think for a second, by hiring Mark Elias and the gang of thugs around him, that they don't look at phase two.
	They understand she can't.
	Kamala Harris, it's impossible for her to generate any enthusiasm.
	Number one, what she had to do was to focus on one thing and drive the narrative.
	Her politics of joy was too ill-defined.
	She didn't do it.
	So what did they do last week?
	They pivoted.
	Tonight falls on America.
	This is a fascist movement that the people that supported are equivalent to the American German Bund in the 1930s.
	That is a bald-faced lie, and it's a dangerous lie.
	So, number one, on November 5th, we have to crush them at the ballot box.
	And there's only one way to do that.
	The commercials aren't going to do it.
	The only thing that's going to do it is you're putting your shoulder to the wheel.
	The hard work of walking precincts, the hard work of working phone banks, the hard work of texting nonstop.
	And we have to put in superhuman efforts To support the Elon Musk of the world.
	To support the Charlie Kirks of the world.
	To support the other organizations that are out there doing this.
	Number two, and we're going to have hopefully Mike Davis and Boris Epstein and Bill McGinley, three of the prominent leaders in the legal effort to combat Mark Elias.
	They are signaling you right now what they're going to do.
	Every day, when you see, oh, we're going to delay, we can't count the vote for seven days, we're going to take mail-in ballots five days later.
	Every day after the evening of November 5th is going to be Stalingrad, where Mark Elias is in court, and they're going to do this to slow it down.
	If they can't take it away from Trump, if they can't nullify it right there, they want to at least delegitimize his victory.
	Remember, Jamie Raskin is out there dovetailing off of Nancy Pelosi's interview in the Rolling Stone where she says, I only have one purpose in my life.
	My purpose is to make sure that Donald Trump has never re-elected President of the United States and he never sets foot into the White House again.
	And Jamie Raskin has been very upfront.
	If they take the House even by a single vote, 218 to 217, What they will do is sit there and say that Trump is an insurrectionist.
	That, hey, Bannon and Vardy went to prison.
	Trump's been indicted.
	He's an insurrectionist and he cannot take the office of the presidency.
	All that's in front of us.
	We're going to take a short commercial break.
	I think I've got the rhythm down here.
	Take a short commercial break.
	You're in the war room.
	President Trump is about to have a news conference.
	We're going to go live through that because we want to hear what President Trump has to say.
	We've got tons of guests today.
	We've got Mike Davis, Boris Epstein, Bill McGinley on the legal side.
	Raheem joins us in studio here in New York.
	Jack Posobiec in Washington, D.C. Stick around.
	You're in the war room on the Gathering of the Fight Club.
	Back in a moment.
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, welcome back.
		We're live in the world's financial capital.
		I want to go back to this at the beginning.
		By the way, Rahim joins us here.
		Rahim, thank you so much.
		Welcome back.
		Thank you.
		I never left, actually.
		I never left because it was Next Man Up, and I can't be prouder.
		Of the production team and the co-host, four hours a day.
		And Natalie Winters, I mean, we had some breakout stars.
		It's just incredible.
		The work that went into this, when I said next man up, I never thought in a million years it would go that smoothly.
		And I think people are just fantastic.
		The production team worked like crazy.
		It's because of the team that we've got and the co-host.
		But we can talk about that, and I'm going to talk a lot about prison today at the press conference and all this because there's a bunch of new developments happening.
		But we've got to get down to what is important.
		Think about it.
		Think of this journey we've taken.
		From the beginnings of the populist movement, from Andrew Breitbart and Sarah Palin and everything, Donald Trump coming on the scene and Donald Trump leading this movement to heights that no one ever thought.
		Ten years into this, Trump came down the escalator.
		The media doesn't respect the American people enough even to talk about this.
		What they do is you're a fascist, right?
		That's not going to work anymore.
		So Rachel Maddow, you're going to have to hit the rewind button.
		Joe Scarborough, we don't care what you say, right?
		You and Morning Mika.
		We don't care.
		We're going to win this election with ballots cast by people called American citizens.
		Certifiable ballots from American citizens.
		And we're going to have a blowout win if we do our job here in the next seven days.
		And then we're going to secure this win.
		We're going to secure this win.
		And Donald John Trump is going to get his third victory and serve his second term.
		And on the 20th of January at high noon, he's going to put his hand on his family's King James Bible, take the oath, and we're going to roll hard.
		And we don't care if they like it or don't like it.
		They're just going to have to accept it.
		And they're going to do everything to try to delegitimize President Trump, everything to try to nullify this, even worse than in 2016.
		Jack Vosobis is going to join us here in a second.
		Thoughts.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, the interesting part of it, I think, is that they are fighting themselves over this fascism stuff.
		You're starting to see op-eds popping up in Newsweek and stuff saying, look, we can't do that.
		It's not working.
		It's not right.
		It's not fair.
		You can't label all Americans who support Donald Trump.
		And by the way, recent Americans who have come to Donald Trump, either they came through RFK or maybe they came from Elon world or the Make America Healthy Again world, they're now being called fascists.
		These were people who three, four months ago the Democrats would have counted on their side and now feeling like they're being called fascists and Nazis.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Well, Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat, Democratic Congress.
unidentified		Right.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Robert Kennedy comes from the most storied family in modern democratic politics.
		Elon Musk was a progressive and a Democrat for a long time.
		Right.
		You're seeing this.
		But they will go to any length to stop President Trump.
		That's the reality.
		Am I wrong in that?
		You can see it right now?
		When you hire Mark Elias and make a big deal about it, they're telling you they're going to the mattresses.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		They already did.
		I mean, look at this summer.
		I know we're going to focus on it more at 3 o'clock in the press conference, but you've been there.
		You've been the victim of them willing to do anything, right?
		President Trump, two assassination attempts, and let's face it, probably plenty more operating in the background.
		This is a direct result of their radicalization, of their base.
		That's what's been happening over the summer.
		Listen, what you say...
		The fascism, the Nazism, all this stuff is the primal scream of a dying regime, right?
		That's what we're living through right now.
		These last six days.
		And if that doesn't force every single red-blooded American to the polls to make sure your vote is counted and to drag everyone else you know along with you to say, this cannot stand any further.
		You cannot have a governing party in this country that calls most of America Nazis.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		And our coalition is now going to include a wide swath of African-American men and Hispanic men.
		This is the game changer.
		I'll give you a lot of details about that, of things I learned in prison.
		Let me say something.
		If you're not prepared to be sent to a federal prison as a political prisoner, then you're not worthy to be in this movement and to step forward and try to save your country.
		You have to understand, they want to put you in prison and they will put you in prison.
		If you can't accept that, then you don't know what they represent.
		They talk about President Trump, he's gonna do this, he's gonna do this.
		Look at what they've done and look at President.
		President Trump gets sentenced on the 26.
		Don't think they're just gonna wave that on.
		This is a fight.
		For not simply the direction of this country, but what this country actually stands for.
		Let's bring in Jack.
		Jack Posobiec, thank you so much for joining Rahim and myself this morning.
		Your thoughts, particularly, hey, I love the fact that people are talking about the popular vote.
		I love the fact you're talking about New York and we're going to New Mexico and you're going to Virginia, but that's not relevant.
		Look, this game has a set of rules.
		You're either playing stroke play or you're playing match play.
		The Electoral College is match play.
		We don't need to worry about stroke play.
		One of my concerns, and Raheem jump in here after Jack, is that we have the ability to send a definitive message that populism and nationalism is not just on the rise but has arrived.
		As the dominant political force in this country with a blowout win, and we're right on the cusp of delivering that if we just don't lose our focus.
		And I'm quite concerned that people may be losing the focus here, particularly in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which, as you and I have talked beforehand, I think only 10 percent.
		It's all going to come down to game day.
		Jack Posobiec, your thoughts, observations.
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		Well, Steve, thanks so much.
		And just say from all of us out here in the posse and certainly from the POSO household, we've been praying for you and for your safety this entire time.
		And I just wanted to say thank you to Steve Bannon for taking time to take a call from my six-year-old Jack Jack this morning early on his way to school because he was asking about Uncle Steve every single day he was gone.
		And I'll tell you something, though, and I said this at the RFK Reawaken America Tour down in D.C., That now, my son, six years old, his mother fled the Soviet Union, his father comes from a Polish family, and he's now living in a country where the President of the United States, the candidate, has suffered two assassination attempts, and he knows, he knows political prisoners on a first-name basis.
		And this is what we are up against because this will go nationwide if we do not stop it here and we stop it now.
		So when I hear about all this stuff about you're going to win the popular vote, and yet please, if you're in a blue state, go out and vote for Trump.
		If you're in one of these solid red states, go out and vote for Trump.
		But my focus, my steely-eyed focus is on my home state of Pennsylvania, where today is the very last day of early voting.
		Today.
		That means if you get in line, get in line and stay in line in Pennsylvania.
		Now, the numbers are better than they were in 2020, but let's get serious.
		Now, Steve, when you and I spoke earlier this morning around 7.30 a.m., we were looking at, like, yesterday's numbers, only 10 percent of Pennsylvania registered Republicans had come out to vote already.
		That number has now increased because we've got the overnights out.
		So there's 3.6 million registered Republicans in the state of Pennsylvania.
		We're not including independents that may cross over and vote for Trump.
		Those guys might be there, but we can't use that reliably as far as banking our numbers.
		That 10% is now 12% because we got the overnights in.
		So yesterday...
		You had Pennsylvania Republicans, and I know because both of my parents were out there, they already voted back in September, but you had people out there, they were at the polls, someone got arrested at the polls in Delaware County.
		Stay in line and get in line and stay in line.
		Be polite, be patriotic, but be firm.
		I am going to vote.
		So if you're going to the polls today, and if someone tells you to leave or something happens, you need to film what's going on and get that information to us.
		So Steve, that 10% is now 12%, 88% of Republicans is still outstanding.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		But hang on.
		Jump in here.
		This is the point for the audience.
		I know the polls and the polls are looking good and you can tell these break points come about two weeks out and the numbers and the internal numbers, I would tell you guys are very enthusiastic.
		Even if we have a good day today, 85% We don't know what's going to happen on election day.
		You don't know what's going to happen.
		Anything can happen.
		We have to be focused, and we have to breach the blue wall.
		The weight of victory here in North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada, you still need a part of the blue wall.
		We have to breach the blue wall.
		If we want to send a definitive message, it has to be like 16 where we crash the blue wall.
		It's all doable.
		This audience is the tip of the tip of the spear.
		That's why we have to get superhuman efforts again and double down.
		This is a long way from over, folks.
		And I want to make sure we're not complacent, that we've got to drive this and we have to run through the tape.
		Raheem?
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		Look, you know me.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		I am often on the pessimistic side of things, right?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Raheem.
		Jack, do you ever notice Raheem's...
		Raheem, take...
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		There's a British expression, take...
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		We're not going to say it here in the war room, but we know that one.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		No, the black dog will get on Raheem like Adam Churchill.
		The black dog will get on all over Raheem sometime.
		And he'll be in the mumble tent.
		That's why Nigel's always the upbeat one.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		That's right.
		And I have to drag him back down to earth.
		And I get called a doomer.
		Right?
		For this.
		And I talk about, you know, last election, the transition integrity project, and the ballot boxes.
		You know, the beginning of spring and summer of this year, it's pointing out, you know, what I perceive to be flaws in the campaign.
		Get called a Duma, Rahim, stop being a Duma.
		Now, let me flip that on its head for a second, and come back on something that you just said.
		Because I have been looking at, you know, detailed internal numbers, and I go, oh, I actually start to feel optimistic about it.
		But to your point, just because you're feeling optimistic, you cannot for a second believe that, you know, oh, now we're fighting for New Mexico, or oh, now we're fighting for Maine.
		But look, it is most people out there right now, the reason they feel hope like that is not because they wanted, like, the hopium element of it.
		It's because they want to shove it in the faces of the people who are calling themselves them Nazis every day.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, hang on.
		We're going to go to a short commercial break.
		I think we're going to come back and have a little introduction to President Trump's press conference.
		Trump and the campaign are doing a fantastic job, obviously.
		It's now up to the tip of the spear to drive this home.
		A big victory awaits us.
		Too big to rig because the Democrats are all about stopping President Trump and the MAGA movement.
		Short commercial break.
		Poso Rahim and President Trump on Real America's Voice.
		The War Room next.
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		So there's so many shout-outs that we've got to give over the next couple days.
		Obviously, one is Kane over at Citizens Free Press.
		Always doing a spectacular job.
		I want to really thank Kane for all the links.
		Natalie Winters, obviously, fantastic job as kind of the breakout co-host with many other people.
		Just fantastic, fantastic job.
		Natalie, great.
		We're going to get Natalie, if not in the 11 o'clock hour, then on the 5 o'clock show.
		Election, before I go back to Poso, I want to remind everybody, President Trump, it's going to be 1045, I think.
		They've been known to run, you know, because they've got so much stuff going on.
		He is going to give a press conference, and I think he's going to address this magnificent event at Madison Square Garden.
		The energy, the level of sophistication of the speakers.
		The bringing in of former Democrats to the MAGA movement.
		Jesse Waters, I think, last night, the chyron said, Trump's Avengers.
		It is fantastic.
		But go back, when you talk about Mark Elias, remind people, Bill McGinley will be our guest here shortly.
		Bill's one of the senior guys leading, making sure we close the deal on the election.
		The election integrity for President Trump, he's like the senior guy underneath Whatley.
		Mark Elias, the election integrity project manager.
		In July of 2020, Bill McGinley and Raheem Kassam, Raheem's founded, came to me and said, this guy Mark Elias, he's their top attack dog on elections, he's literally laid out a blueprint of how they're going to steal the election.
		Because they wanted to make sure they said, well, we talked about this in July.
		Give me a minute on Mark Elias and why they are promoting so hard that Mark Elias is now tied up, has now been retained by Kamala Harris' campaign.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		And he's gloating about perceived victories that they're having in Nevada right now.
		And look, this is a direct consequence of the slowness, I guess, of the Ronna McDaniel era to lawyer up, to get enough people out there, to get enough cases on the books, to figure out exactly...
		What was going wrong and where it was going wrong?
		And my heart goes out to the people who are in there right now, Bill McGinley, a couple of the others in there.
		They're playing catch-up in a lot of ways, and they're having successes.
		But it's a little bit of that it's going to spill over past November the 5th.
		We know that.
		We know that there's going to be legal bouts.
		We know there's going to be legal challenges.
		And what you're seeing today, right?
		The Supreme Court will rule on the non-citizen voting.
		I think it's Virginia, right?
		That we're expecting a decision any minute now.
		I mean, to have that six days out from an election...
		Actually, it's a little embarrassing.
		For the so-called state of American democracy, from a so-called party that preserves democracy and preserves election integrity, to have these cases going to the Supreme Court six days before an election, you just think, the outside world is watching in and going, huh?
		They still don't know whose ballots they're going to count in six days' time?
		I mean, that is a really strange state of affairs.
		But just to come back on the Madison Square Garden thing, because I think it's really important.
		Over the summer, I said, look, you've got all of these great people now, right?
		You've got the RFKs, you've got the Elon Musk, you've got the Tulsi Gabbards, you've got all of that.
		I said, put them all in one place together, which is what happened, and call it the government of all the talents, the GOATs, right?
		And that's what you saw at Madison Square Garden.
		Of course, they have to figure out a way to flip it.
		And so what do they do?
		They go to their first instinct, Nazi, fascism.
		You know, KKK held a rally here some, you know, 100 years ago, whatever it was.
		And ordinary people watching the reaction from Rachel Maddow, what you saw on CNN last night, Mehdi Hassan, somebody who has worked for the state of Qatar, is going on there and calling all Republicans, all people who are thinking about voting Republican, Nazis.
		That's where we are, six days out.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Mike Davis, the Viceroy, is in the House.
		We're going to get Mike Davis probably at the 11 o'clock hour after President Trump.
		Posobiec, your thoughts?
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		Well, look, there's a specific targeted message that a lot of people, I think, are missing and overlooking for the subtext of what MSNBC, CNN, and specifically what I would say, the signal here, not the noise, Liz Cheney.
		When they rolled out Liz Cheney, what did she say?
		Which was in addition to this hard pivot from joy to darkness to fascism to Nazism to all of these things.
		What did Liz Cheney say?
		Liz said, no one has to know who you voted for.
		No one has to know.
		So what they're saying is, read between the lines, they can see in the data that men, particularly young men, but men throughout the suburbs, men in the exurbs, they are all voting for Trump.
		So what are they doing?
		They're targeting this message, they're targeting the message, Jan 6, Nazism, showing Hitler rallies, which weren't even in the same building, which were in a different building that were all the way uptown 100 years ago, trying to tie this directly.
		It is a targeted psychological operation That's being run on suburban women.
		And they're saying, look, you can vote for Kamala Harris and nobody has to know.
		That's what they said when they activated Liz Cheney when she went up on that stage with Kamala Harris when she went up there is that nobody has to know who you voted for.
		That's the new target to try to peel away as many of these suburban female votes in the seven swing stage, which by the way, the Sun Belt's looking good for us right now.
		We need to keep up the motivation, but the blue wall of the Rust Belt, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Those are the three where it's neck and neck, and that's why when it comes down to a razor's edge, things like this really matter.
		That's why you're seeing CNN, MSNBC, and then CNN throws Gerdusky off there with Mehdi Hassan telling him, you know, everyone's a Nazi, everyone's a Nazi, and they apologize to Mehdi Hassan.
		They're doing it for a reason, and people need to wake up.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		We've got to breach the blue wall.
		You know, Charlie Kirk brought out six months ago, we should have taken care of the Nebraska thing.
		We didn't.
		So there's not going to be a 269-269 tie.
		We failed, the Republican establishment failed to move on the Nebraska situation, and we've bought a big problem here.
		We have to, correct me if I'm wrong, we have to breach the blue wall in some regard, even if we win Nevada.
		So winning the Sun Belt, We still come up short.
		You've got to breach the blue wall.
		Now, it looks like the heaviest lift of all, which is always Pennsylvania, right?
		It looks like now, because of Muslim men, right, refusing to vote for her, is Michigan could really be in play, and Michigan may be where that breach is.
		Look, we could run the tables on all three, but we've got to take one.
		That's where you have to have the concentration of forces.
		I think 5 November, if we do our job, The country begins to move beyond race.
		And what do I mean by that?
		I mean African-American men, Hispanic men, and Muslim men saying, hey, I'm not doing this.
		Maybe in some regards they're not going to vote for Trump, but they're certainly not going to vote for Kamala Harris.
		And I have first-person experience on that that I will share today at the press conference.
		This, by the way, gets into gender.
		Your thoughts?
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		No, I just want to add one controversial thing, if I may, to that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		You adding controversy?
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		As Muslim men go, Muslim women go.
		You know, have to understand how that community operates in terms of how the votes tend to split up.
		And Muslim women might be telling pollsters, X, Y, Z... But you're not buying that.
		No, but on the day, as Muslim men go, Muslim women will go at the polling booth.
		I mean, we've seen this in ghettoized communities and in tight-knit communities, in Arab communities all across Europe for the last two decades now.
		And so I think that you have to consider that too.
		Michigan is much worse than she thinks.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		And you think Michigan is the target even more than Pennsylvania.
		We've got to focus on all three.
		Pennsylvania, I think we can win and win big because it's a phony populism, Biden, and she's not a populist at all.
		Neither is he.
		He comes from the credit card state.
		But Wisconsin's in play.
		But in Michigan, you can see it all coming together.
		Jack, I want to go back to we may be moving beyond race to gender, and there's obviously big gender disparities here.
		Why is it they made a bet at the beginning it was going to be the politics of joy.
		The politics of joy was going to bring in the female vote.
		The hard pivot they had last week, I think was shocking.
		Where they went to night falls on America.
		Why is that?
		Do they feel they need to scare the women of America to come out and support Kamala Harris because she doesn't really have a program that you can kind of get your arms around?
jack posobiec ▲ ● ▼		Look, they tried for months, and it might be too little too late, but they tried for months to prop up Kamala Harris as she's the avatar of women.
		She's going to defend women's rights.
		She's going to defend reproductive rights.
		She will save you, the daughters, the granddaughters, all this.
		But the more that we saw Kamala Harris, because Trump just kept beating like a drum on this idea that she would not give interviews, that she would not bring herself before the American people and answer questions.
		And the more she did that, the more...
		More people decided that she was a terrible candidate.
		She has no idea what she's talking about.
		She is someone who has no operation, no agenda of her own, and she can't stand on her own two feet.
		So suddenly, they saw all that in the internals and said, look, we can't go with this.
		By the way, this is what happens when you have a candidate that doesn't go through the primary process.
		All of this would have been shaken out in that primary process.
		And the Democrats had nominated, like a Tulsa Gabbard all those years ago, We'd be in a very different situation, but we're not.
		And Tulsi is a Republican now.
		So fast forward to today because they couldn't get Kamala Harris over.
		What are they doing?
		They're doing the hard pivot to you can't elect Trump.
		Trump is evil.
		Trump is bad.
		Trump supporters are bad.
		They are all fascists.
		They are all Nazis.
		They are all Hitler.
		And so whenever you see them playing this card, you know it's because it's the very bottom of the deck where it's been dealt from.
		They don't have anything left.
		They're going back to that final well.
		And for MSNBC, they have gone completely – MSNBC, Politico Playbook, these outlets have gone completely wrong.
		Pravda at this point because they're in free fall.
		And you've got James Carville out there who is ringing the alarm bell saying, if you don't do something to stem the bleeding, then there's going to be huge problems right now.
		So you're seeing the entire apparatus firing on all cylinders.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Look, you've seen it in the Election Integrity Project.
		That's why if we don't put up big numbers...
		If you think this is going to stop, you're kidding yourself.
		It's only going to entice them to say, oh, well, Trump really didn't win.
		The country's at a standoff.
		It's at a 50-50.
		None of his agenda comes in.
		They're going to fight it.
		It looks like we're going to take the Senate by maybe one seat.
		Maybe we have a couple other pickups.
		The House fight.
		And I will tell you right now, Trump's presidency without the House...
		It's going to be a third of what it could be.
		Because, hey, number one, they're not going to seat him.
		On January 6th, they say he's an insurrectionist.
		We have a report, and hey, Bannon went to prison.
		Navarro went to prison.
		Trump's been indicted three times.
		We'll throw a superseding indictment out there and get some other Trump's co-conspirators to come in.
		Jack Smith will be off the chain.
		They'll fight this tooth and nail.
		And then they will impeach Trump as quickly as they can.
		Don't take it from me.
		Read the Rolling Stone interview with Nancy Pelosi.
		She's obsessed to a quite unhealthy degree.
		She says her whole purpose in life is to make sure that Trump is not re-elected president and that he never sets foot in the White House again.
		Raheem Ghassam, your thoughts?
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		Well, I just wanted to mention as well that it was so gloomy here the last couple of days and suddenly you're hearing the sun is shining, the sun is beaming through the windows.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		Make of that what you will.
unidentified		The angelic presence of Stephen K. Batman.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		No, no, it's the first time everybody ever said I brought sunshine and light and usually the cloud of darkness.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Nightfalls in America is usually my beat.
raheem kassam ▲ ● ▼		By the way, by the way, an old friend of yours told me some very funny stories about the 2016 campaign just a couple of days ago, but we'll wait to share those.
		That's a teaser for a future moment.
		Steve, I just want to make mention of the fact, you know, a lot of people are tuned in a lot.
		I'm reading a lot of the live comments at the moment, and a lot of people want to hear from you about your time the last four months.
		But I just want to reset and let them know where they can do that, when they can tune in.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Today at 3 o'clock we're going to have a press conference, and I'm going to give some details About my time in the federal prison system as a political prisoner.
		What I learned, because I learned a lot.
		And there's a lot of lessons there for the MAGA movement.
		Number one, I will tell you that if the Pelosi apparatus wins, You better be prepared to go to a federal prison because these people have no qualms about weaponizing the Justice Department, weaponizing the legal system against American citizens who have different political views.
		And like I said before, if you're not prepared to go to a federal prison, Then you've got to ask yourself, were you prepared to defend your country and drive the MAGA philosophy and the MAGA movement forward?
		Because Pelosi and these guys and Merrick Garland, that whole crowd, they are...
		Look at Jack Smith.
		Look at the insane nature of Jack Smith.
		So hang on.
		We're going to take...
		I think we're trying to get...
		President Trump's going to step up to the microphone in a minute in Mar-a-Lago.
		We're going to go live there.
		We're going to take a short commercial break.
		I've got Poso...
		Raheem McGinley's going to join us.
		Boris, we've got the Mike Davis in the house.
		Back in a moment.
unidentified		Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, welcome back to President.
		I think we're getting a 10-minute...
		Heads up on the press conference.
		President Trump's going to have a press conference in Mar-a-Lago.
		Michelle Bacchus is our correspondent for Real America's Voice.
		She is there live.
		We'll go there momentarily as soon as the president steps to the sticks.
		I want to hear what President Trump has.
		He says a couple of special announcements.
		I've got my dear friend and colleague Mike Davis is with us.
		I spent my time at...
		In federal custody.
		Mike Davis, you were hammering every day.
		And man, did they come after you?
		I think you make their head blow up worse than Raheem, Posobiec, and myself combined.
unidentified		I love it.
		That's my job.
		We have our general back, Stephen K. Bannon.
		The caged, roaring lion is back a week before the election.
		And I think that the left is going to panic because they know that you're going to rally the troops.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so...
		The election's a lot longer than next Tuesday.
		This is the reason you're here.
		McGinley's going to join us.
		Boris is getting ready to go into a meeting of all these lawyers.
		I wanted to have the legal team, the cutting edge, and the real fighters on this because November 5th, we have to drive and converge all our forces on the 5th to maximize ballots and maximize votes.
		But man, it doesn't end there.
		Talk to me, when they hire Mark Elias, They're telling you they're going to the mattresses on this thing.
		And one is that they do intend to try to reverse the judgment of the decision of the people, but they think that even if they don't, they will hit Trump hard enough to delegitimize his second term.
		Am I too over the top on that?
unidentified		No, not at all.
		I would say this.
		The Trump supporters need to continue to show up And vote as early as possible in massive numbers.
		And we need to win this thing decisively on November 5th by three or four points.
		Because if we don't, the Democrats, led by Mark Elias, who is a savage attorney, the best attorney out there on election integrity, they're going to try to do everything they can to prevent Trump from getting inaugurated on January 20th.
		Look, they've tried to bankrupt Trump.
		They've tried to throw him in prison for the rest of his life.
		They tried to take him off the ballot, and they tried to take off his head when they underfunded his Secret Service protection.
		They put Steve Bannon in prison, his top presidential advisor.
		They put Peter Devaro in prison.
		They tried to put his supporters on January 6th in prison until the Supreme Court stepped in and said you can't politically persecute them with the Fisher decision.
		They are playing for keeps.
		And thank God this time we are so much better prepared legally and politically for this lawfare fight than we were in 2020.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		I want to go back to Elias for a second because...
		He's been out of favor.
		He plays such smash mouth.
		He's been out of favor with some of the DNC. Because this guy doesn't take any prisoners.
		If you're a ribbon clerk over at the DNC, he doesn't want to hear from him.
		Because he's going to war every day.
		I don't have a problem with a guy that does that.
		Although I think sometimes he does not color inside the lines.
		Tell me about Mark Elias.
		And why would Harris, given all the problems that Mark Elias has had with some of the Democrat apparatus, that they make such a public showing of we've retained Mark Elias to be our senior guy, to be our senior advisor on these things?
unidentified		Look, I respect Mark Elias because he fights to win.
		He's not like the Republican lawyers of the past who want to be the string orchestra on the Titanic.
		They want to look majestic.
		As the ship is going down, Mark Elias will throw the women and children off the lifeboats and he'll win.
		And we need more Mark Eliases on the Republican side of the aisle.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Do you think McGinley's going to join us in a second?
		Boris is going to come.
		We very much focus.
		Watley's at the RNC because of this.
		This is something you warned about this.
		McGinley did six or eight months ago.
		We started to get serious.
		Where is that program today?
unidentified		I think we're in very good shape.
		We're never going to be as good as Mark Elias and the Democrats.
		He's just a pro.
		But this time around, with Chairman Michael Watley at the RNC, with Dave Warrington leading up the Trump campaign effort, Boris McGinley with the Article III project, we're making damn sure that it becomes much more difficult for the Democrats to rig and steal this election again.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Let's bring in, I think we got Bill McGinley.
		Can I bring in Bill McGinley, our old friend?
		And Bill and I go way back to the White House.
		Bill was actually on the 26th campaign.
		Bill, they've got Mark Elias, Boris, you, Mike Davis, others are putting together a team and have been working together for months and months and months.
		Where do we stand?
		We're driving to get out the vote.
		The Elon Musk guys are doing a fabulous job.
		Charlie Kirk, the Warren Posse's all in.
		We know we have to deliver on November 5th, but then the fight really starts.
		Where do we stand?
bill mcginley ▲ ● ▼		Look, I mean, right now what we're doing, and we've talked about this before, GOTV and election integrity are two sides of the same coin.
		And what we're seeing in the early vote data is that the Posse and everybody else who has signed up to volunteer, who's committed to getting 10 to 15 of their friends, family, and neighbors to drive them out to the polls, to really kind of motivate this nation to change course, are doing a great job.
		We're seeing it in the numbers.
		We feel good about the numbers, but there's a lot of work to do.
		And on the election integrity side, what we've really done is we've built out some great state operations in Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia.
		I would also throw Virginia in there, Minnesota.
		And we're looking at some of the other states as well that are starting to really tighten out there because there may be some possibilities.
		So what are the buckets that we're concentrating on?
		Number one, we're focusing on transparency.
		We need to be able to have our poll watchers in the room as the eyes and ears as an early detection system so that they can elevate issues as they see them.
		Now everybody who's done this for a long time knows that there's gonna be sort of the garden variety issues that are gonna pop up every early voting day, every election day.
		Everything from polls not opening on time.
		Sometimes they don't want the watchers to have such proximity so that they can have a meaningful opportunity to observe.
		And there may be some other issues that are handled at the very local level.
		The other bucket that we're really focusing on, and you see this from a lot of the lawsuits, That have come this year is we are asking the courts to instruct the election administrators, whether it's the Secretary of State and the guidance they put out, or if it's in the county registrars where the votes are going to be tabulated on Election Day, for them to follow the law.
		A lot of the state laws We have some people who are trying to cut corners and not do what they want to do.
		You saw out of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, a press conference that happened a couple of days ago where we actually had some election clerks who did their job.
		When they received a voter registration dump, they actually went through the voting registrations and found the anomalies and referred them.
unidentified		Ultimately, they referred it to the DA. Bill?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼		Bill, hang on for one second.
		I got Posobiec, Bill McGinley, Mike Davis is in the house, Raheem Ghassam, Kash Patel, with some other information on Mark Elias, and the president, Donald J. Trump.
		All next.
