| ...our country honorably and very significantly, and I think I'll just ask them as a couple to express, in terms of speaking to the president, tell them which one of you is the better pilot. | ||
| That's what we really want to know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'll answer that. | |
| My husband has retired, and I'm still flying. | ||
| No question. | ||
| There you go. | ||
| What do you hope from the President in terms of policies that will affect people who are retired, whether they're military or private sector? | ||
| But you've both done your service for this country. | ||
| It's Tuesday, October 29th in the year of our Lord, 2024. | ||

|
If you don't mind, I'll make a quick digression. | |
| Honored to be able to introduce you and welcome you rightfully back to Stephen K. Bannon's war room. | ||
| We're going to let President Trump wrap up his remarks in Pennsylvania, but don't go anywhere. | ||
| We have a packed show. | ||
| We're going to be joined, I believe, by Monica Crowley, Jeff Clark, Mike Davis, and so many others who are up in New York with Stephen K. Bannon, who's wrapping up some interviews, but he will be back On this show, either in the 5 p.m. | ||
| hour or the 6 p.m. | ||
|
unidentified
|
hour. | |
| So make sure you stick around. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But until then, we'll toss it back to President Trump. | |
| Thank you, Jeff. | ||
| Thank you, Jeff. | ||
| It is our honor to do all we can. | ||
| I live in Montgomery County and Abington Township, and the GOP in Montgomery County and Abington Township is working every day from now through November 5th to get you elected. | ||
| And we're doing it. | ||
| Joe, thank you very much. | ||
|

|
I know I digress, but I honestly mean it. | |
| And my wife will add some more. | ||
| You asked about how we can help seniors. | ||
| Mr. | ||
| President, for four years you showed us what a strong economy looks like. | ||
| A strong economy helps seniors. | ||
| A strong economy helps people on fixed income. | ||
| A strong economy helps people who are below the average amount of money or maybe struggling, and we have them in our own neighborhood. | ||
| What a strong economy we need is low energy prices, and I know you're all for low energy. | ||
| We need an all-of-the-above solution. | ||
| We need nuclear, we need natural gas, we need coal, we need electrical coming from wind, and we need it from water, and everywhere else we can get it. | ||
| But it's all of the above. | ||
| That will lower our prices for food prices, gasoline prices, the prices that seniors and fixed income people pay in the wintertime, and basically it's going to lower inflation, which is the tax that cripples us all. | ||
| And we've had that before, and we'll have that with you. | ||
| From what I understand of the Harris Plan, it consists of two things. | ||
| One is divide people. | ||
| And the second one is raise taxes. | ||
| That doesn't solve anything, and any economist will tell you, you tax things, you get less of it. | ||
| You lower the taxes on things, you get more of it. | ||
| And the other thing I'd like to say, and folks, I hope you understand this, Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota. | ||
| Minnesota is one of only 10 states that tax Social Security income at the state level. | ||
| So she chose him. | ||
| So for all of us in Pennsylvania, we don't have that right now. | ||
| What can we expect? | ||
| That is anti-fixed income. | ||
| That is anti-senior. | ||
| And I'm afraid that that's what we may look forward to. | ||
| And the last thing I'll ask you, just because I don't know the answer to this. | ||
| What does 10 million plus illegal aliens coming into our country look forward to as far as the Social Security Trust Fund is concerned, as far as Medicare is concerned? | ||
| How can we look at our own kids and go forward and say, we have any idea about it because nobody does. | ||
| This is a catastrophe. | ||
| So those are my thoughts. | ||
| Well, there's a good thought. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And the only mistake that this great husband of yours made was it's not 10 million, it's probably 21 million, you know, which is, and that doesn't include the gotaways, you know, the gotaway, that's the people that just pour in and, you know, they're just, they're all pouring in. | ||
| And we're not going to stand for it, number one. | ||
| And number two... | ||
| Number two, we can't. | ||
| And you know, the reason they come is because we say we'll give you, I mean, they actually tell them we're going to give you health care, we're going to give you this, we're going to give you social security, we're going to give you education. | ||
| We have a community in Springfield, Ohio, with 32,000 illegal migrants were put into a 50,000 person community and you can't get into the hospitals, you can't get into the schools, you can't do anything. | ||
| It's a disaster. | ||
| And it's all going to change. | ||
| It's not sustainable. | ||
| I mean, it's not yet a nice community. | ||
| Springfield. | ||
| And now it's, you heard about this, Mike, 32,000 illegal migrants. | ||
| Now, they sort of made it legal by playing cutesy with the law, but they're illegal migrants. | ||
| And it's just not sustainable. | ||
| This is happening all over the country. | ||
| In terms of pricing, what you're really alluding to is drill, baby, drill. | ||
| Because when we bring the energy cost down, everything's coming down. | ||
| And we have more energy under our feet than any other country, including Saudi Arabia and Russia. | ||
| And we were, as you know, energy independent four years ago, and now it's a mess. | ||
| We're buying tar, big bets of tar from Venezuela, and we're refining it. | ||
| It's a mess. | ||
| And we have the best energy, we have the best oil, we have the most oil, and we don't want to use it. | ||
| We want to go and give money. | ||
| Venezuela is the enemy, and we now are making them a very rich enemy. | ||
| It's not even believable what they're doing. | ||
| They don't know what the hell they're doing. | ||
| But we're going to drill, baby, drill. | ||
| We're going to use our stuff. | ||
| We don't need anybody else's. | ||
| And we're going to open up Anwar in Alaska, which is as big as Saudi Arabia, they say, the biggest in the world. | ||
| I got it open. | ||
| Ronald Reagan couldn't do it. | ||
| Nobody could do it. | ||
| For 60 years they couldn't do it. | ||
| I got it done. | ||
| And Biden comes in and he decides to not let it happen. | ||
| I'll get that thing open so fast. | ||
| We'll supply it to Everybody, and we'll start paying down our debt, and all of those good things, but your costs are going to come down. | ||
| You bring energy. | ||
| Energy is really more than anything else. | ||
| It was their spending, but it was also energy. | ||
| That's really what brought up the cost, because energy, you need it for everything. | ||
| If you make donuts, you need it for the stove. | ||
| You need it for the trucks, for delivery. | ||
| And we're going to have so much energy, and one of the pledges that I make is that we are going to have Energy costs, which are very high right now, and that includes gasoline. | ||
| We're going to get rid of the mandate, by the way, the electric mandate for your cars. | ||
| That's going to come off. | ||
| And that's great. | ||
| You know, if somebody wants an electric car, I mean, Elon Musk gave me the biggest endorsement you've ever seen, and his cars are great. | ||
| But not everybody needs to have an electric car or wants to have an electric car. | ||
| You're going to be able to get hybrids. | ||
| You get regular gasoline-powered cars. | ||
| But we're going to bring your energy costs down quickly. | ||
| By 50% within one year. | ||
| By the way, it's going to be easy. | ||
| We can do it. | ||
| Nobody else can because we have so much. | ||
| It's right under us. | ||
| Even in New York State, they don't realize that New York State is sitting on a tremendous amount. | ||
| And if they used it, Lee would have opened that up in two seconds. | ||
| They don't want to drill for the environment. | ||
| And the people in Pennsylvania, they're sitting there, they have a Cadillac, and the people across the line, the line is right here, and they don't have a car. | ||
| And it's just absolutely, we have so much energy in this country, we're going to bring down the prices, that'll bring down everything else, and you'll be in great shape. | ||
| But that's fantastic. | ||
| I'm fascinated by your wife. | ||
| So, they say that as a pilot, the hardest thing you can do is land on an aircraft carrier. | ||
| Have I heard, is that a correct statement? | ||
| Do you land on an aircraft carrier? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, in fact. | |
| You've got to be kidding. | ||
| She might be better than you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All the airplanes have hooks on the back, so you've got to use them. | |
| Go land on a carrier. | ||
| That's fantastic. | ||
| It's a great story. | ||
| Thank you very much, both. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All right. | |
| Ed Grove is a telecom union member and a proud American patriot. | ||
| I understand he's also a talented musician and singer, a jack of all trades, and the proud father of four grown children. | ||
| Ed, you're a longtime telecom union member, and we see a lot of unions acting far more political than they ever have in the past. | ||
| And it's interesting that it seems like a lot of union leaders are not aligned with the rank and file. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| In your personal opinion, do you see this where union leaders with regards to political matters are in conflict with their leadership? | ||
| First of all, thank you for having me. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a great honor to be here. | |
| My personal opinion, of course, I can't speak for the unions, but there is a silent majority. | ||
| Political stuff we really don't care about. | ||
| Being represented is what matters most to us. | ||
| Personally, I just don't believe union bosses speak for all union membership. | ||
| I support Donald Trump because he supports keeping manufacturing jobs in-house. | ||
| He was proven in your first term. | ||
| Thank you for that. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You also take care of the American worker instead of going overseas or out of country to do so. | |
| Very much appreciate that. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you very much, Ed. | ||
| Very nice. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| Lee is alluding to the fact that the Teamsters took a vote and 61%, this is nationwide, 61-62% of them support Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, they do. | |
| And they have a very good head. | ||
| They have a man named Sean O'Brien who's a great guy. | ||
| He's the head of it. | ||
| He released those numbers, which is something I appreciated very much. | ||
| And the firefighters, the same thing. | ||
| They support me, the rank and file. | ||
| So we have a lot of the unions beyond that. | ||
| I think the auto workers in Detroit, we're going to bring back a lot of plants into Michigan. | ||
| We're going to bring them back very fast. | ||
| And you probably read, Mike, where I... Killed. | ||
| They were building a giant plant in Mexico, sponsored and owned by China. | ||
| And I let them know, and that would have destroyed Michigan. | ||
| This plant would have made as many cars as all of Michigan. | ||
| This was going to be the largest plant in the world. | ||
| And I let them know, you build that plant, and we're going to put the biggest terrace of those cars you've ever seen. | ||
| And, you know, that was about two weeks ago. | ||
| They've just announced they're not going to build the plant. | ||
| That's a great thing. | ||
| Isn't that good? | ||
| Now, if they want to build it in the U.S., that's okay, Ed. | ||
| If they want to build it, Mike, in the U.S., that's okay. | ||
| But they're not going to build it in another country and send the cars in here and destroy all of that. | ||
| That's what's been happening for 50, 60 years. | ||
| So they just announced, China just announced they're not going to build the plant. | ||
| I'm very happy about that. | ||
| Thank you very much, China. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Mr. | ||
| President, I want to introduce you to Dr. | ||
| Kathleen McGuire. | ||
| She is just to my right here. | ||
| She has a very esteemed academic career in gerontology, but I think she brings something else to the table, not just the academic study of gerontology, but more importantly, she cared for her own mother for two and a half years. | ||
| And Dr. | ||
| Maguire, if you could express When you went from the academic side, studying and teaching others about gerontology and then taking care of your mother, what were the big challenges and what kind of assistance did you find from the government when you were trying to be the caregiver to your own mom? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| I appreciate being invited here. | ||
| The challenges were not being able to navigate the system. | ||
| Not knowing how to navigate the system. | ||
| Yes, I taught the class, but it's different when it's your own family member. | ||
| You can tell everybody else how to do this. | ||
| Make sure you give them resources here. | ||
| But if you don't know it yourself, that's even more difficult. | ||
| When you live that experience, living with my mom, and I'll tell you, It was very challenging and I'll tell you a little bit about her history. | ||
| What happened was that she was living alone in the Pocono Mountains on a mountain 100 miles away from family. | ||
| She's a widow. | ||
| I was trying to keep up her house and according to the Department of Human Services she was not able to get any assistance because she was not under the federal poverty level. | ||
| Even though she was on a fixed income Getting Social Security. | ||
| And she was able, she had an advantage plan, which was also more money. | ||
| She had one big asset. | ||
| And that asset was her home. | ||
| So she was asset rich and cash poor. | ||
| So it was difficult. | ||
| She wanted to live there and she wanted to die there, but it was more difficult. | ||
| She had to make difficult decisions. | ||
| Do I pay my taxes? | ||
| Which she had to pay her taxes. | ||
| She had to pay association fees. | ||
| She had to pay utility bills with, what, $1,400 a month, maybe? | ||
| She had to pay for food, maybe. | ||
| And she had to come up with a decision. | ||
| What do I do? | ||
| Do I maintain my home or do I eat? | ||
| She chose to maintain her home rather than her well-being. | ||
| She decided, well, as her health deteriorated, we brought her back to my house in Bucks County, Upper Southampton, rather than Lower Southampton. | ||
| Not far from Mickey D's where you were, yes. | ||
| Nice job, by the way. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And that whole day was very well appreciated. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| And so she was not really willing. | ||
| If you get to a certain age, my mom was 83 years old, they don't want to leave their home. | ||
| She wanted to stay in her home, she wanted to die in her home, but she was not safe anymore to be alone. | ||
| And so we had to quickly find out and navigate the Medicare system. | ||
| And so what we found for my mother and maybe for other seniors, because remember she was asset rich and cash poor, that Medicare does not pay for adult care services, adult day care services, hospice. | ||
| She was in the hospital in April. | ||
| If I wanted to switch her from this room to another room, $14,000 a month. | ||
| Cash. | ||
| Cash. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| All right. | ||
| She came to us and she didn't have any, there was no respite care. | ||
| That is not covered. | ||
| Home care assistance is not covered and you have to have basically four hours of service from these agencies. | ||
| So what happened was that I'm fortunate enough and very proud of my immediate family. | ||
| We became the caretakers. | ||
| We became the elder care Supporters. | ||
| My family supported her. | ||
| It was challenging sometimes. | ||
| It was a team effort. | ||
| She was able to get to her doctor's visits, go to the dentist. | ||
| Any money that she didn't have couldn't pay, our family supported her. | ||
| She had three meals a day. | ||
| She had significantly lost a lot of weight. | ||
| She was down to 100 pounds at 5'6". | ||
| Well, she'll probably get less than that as you shrink. | ||
| But she gained 20 pounds with us. | ||
| Gained 20 pounds. | ||
| I had to buy new clothing. | ||
| That's for my son's cooking. | ||
| She wasn't allowed to leave the table until she finished everything. | ||
| What goes around comes around, right? | ||
| All our activities of daily living were supported by us. | ||
| We took her everywhere she needed to go. | ||
| She was our best, my best bud. | ||
| She went with me, door knocking. | ||
| She, yeah, she did. | ||
| That's very nice, isn't it? | ||
| I knew I liked her. | ||
|
unidentified
|
83 years old, door knocking. | |
| Sometimes I'd leave her in the car and I forgot that she was there. | ||
| I was too busy talking. | ||
| But she was with me, wasn't she? | ||
| But the most important thing, because, okay, Medicare, we had a difficult time. | ||
| She had her family. | ||
| And that is who her support was. | ||
| And unfortunately, it took two and a half years for being assigned a case manager to help us. | ||
| Did that work? | ||
| After six weeks of being into a facility, she had passed away. | ||
| And at lower than, you know, probably about a hundred pounds. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| It's difficult to navigate this system. | ||
| And it's difficult when you need help and assistance because there's no one there to help you. | ||
| And I'm very proud of my family for that. | ||
| So asset rich No. | ||
| And cash poor. | ||
| What did they do with the house? | ||
| What happened with the house? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh my gosh. | |
| I was showing somebody pictures earlier. | ||
| She's in the real estate business, so it's always interesting. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, yeah. | |
| My mom, she lives in Poconos, and what happened was, I was there one day, visiting my son in New York, and I came home, I noticed mold. | ||
| There was black mold all over, and she was hiding it. | ||
| So we had to dig the whole roof off. | ||
| You could look into it. | ||
| The house, sheetrock off, everything off during the winter. | ||
| And so her utility bills were $1,000 a month. | ||
| So what did I say? | ||
| She ends up with $1,400 maybe to $1,200, $1,000 for utilities. | ||
| What did she have left to pay for the rest of her bills? | ||
| So as the work progressed, now insurance does not cover a new roof. | ||
| Right, right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So as the work progressed, the workers walked off the job. | |
| Off the construction job, went out of business with her money, and did not finish the job. | ||
| So the house now is sitting there. | ||
| Not sitting there, we're going through her things, which is the worst horrible thing to have to go through. | ||
| Going through her things, and we're going to have to put it up for sale. | ||
| A good area? | ||
| A good area for sale. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Oh, in the Poconos, Albrecht'sville, right by Hickory, if anybody knows where Hickory is, State Park, Big Boulder, Lake Harmony. | |
| Yes. | ||
| Good. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| That's good. | ||
| Mr. | ||
| President, you announced a tax break for Americans like Dr. | ||
| McGuire, that people have served as caregivers. | ||
| So, I mean, it's like you've already thought about how that could help her. | ||
| I did. | ||
| It was suggested to me by a very, actually a very smart reporter, if you can believe this, right? | ||
| Some smart ones out there. | ||
| Good one, actually, a good person, and suggested... | ||
| A tax deduction for caregivers because, you know, you devote the time as a family to it. | ||
| And if you had to hire people, you wouldn't have enough people. | ||
| You wouldn't be able to do it. | ||
| Families take care of their children. | ||
| You know, when we have service members coming back from wars... | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| It's Tuesday, October 29th in the year of our Lord, 2024. | ||
| I don't know about you guys, but this is probably my most favorite day in this entire year. | ||
| I'm sure the audience shares my sentiment. | ||
| Stephen Cate Bannon is back. | ||
| Like I said, he will be joining us later in the show. | ||
| But until then, I'll be hosting for a bit, but we'll be joined soon. | ||
| By a rotating cast of MAGA firebrands who are alongside Steve right now in New York. | ||
| But for those of you who weren't able to catch Steve's press conference today, or for those of you who just want the reruns and the highlights, I want to play a quick clip so you can see our fearless leader Stephen K. Bannon in full action. | ||
| Let's roll it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And Nancy Pelosi thought a federal prison was going to break me. | |
| Well, it empowered me. | ||
| God bless you. | ||
| It empowered me. | ||
| I am more empowered today, more focused today, sharper today, in better shape today than I've ever been in my entire life. | ||
| So Nancy Pelosi, suck on that. | ||
| Honey Badger never gave a you-know-what. | ||
| Now just to put that press conference in context, that is a man, Stephen K. Bannon, who ran circles around every single mainstream media reporter in that room, not just on adjudicating the 2020 election, but the forthcoming 2024 election, down to ballot counts and ballot fraud in every single swing state. | ||
| And he did that after being in prison. | ||
| A political prisoner for four months. | ||
| All he had was access to CNN and Fox. | ||
| And of course, the war room posse and our team worked diligently to keep him updated and abreast of everything that was breaking in the news cycle. | ||
| But just think about that. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon, a political prisoner for four months, is still able to run the track, to run circles around every single mainstream media reporter that had four months plus to prep their gotcha question for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| And he emerged victorious. | ||
| And you know what's even more powerful about that press conference that he held? | ||
| Is that he was able to stand there amidst a barrage of questions from people, the Washington Post, the Bulwark, Tim Miller, all the lovelies, all the darlings in the mainstream media. | ||
| And he was able to say, look at the polls, look at the receipts, look at the early vote numbers. | ||
| MAGA is ascendant. | ||
| And that's not a pipe dream. | ||
| It's a reality. | ||
| And do you know why Stephen K. Bannon was able to stand up there today and have the support of people like you? | ||
| And say what he did about how optimistic he is about the election, it's because you guys never gave up when they threw Stephen K. Bannon in prison. | ||
| No amount of lawfare, no amount of Jack Smith indictments, no amount of misdemeanors against Stephen K. Bannon, press conferences, letters sent, censorship efforts, disinformation meltdown campaigns, foreign disinformation smears against this show. | ||
| They didn't work. | ||
| And they're not going to work. | ||
| And that press conference that you just saw is a testament to the power and strength and undying resolve, not just of this show, but of Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| And I know that he may have been held in contempt of Congress. | ||
| I'd ask, what has that Congress ever done for you? | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| The American people hold the people who put Stephen K. Bannon in prison in contempt. | ||
| And the trial for those people, should we call them the enemy within? | ||
| I think we will. | ||
| That trial's on November 5th, on a little thing called Election Day. | ||
| Where we are fighting tooth and nail every day as trench warfare to make sure that that is a victory, not just for Stephen K Bannon, but for the MAGA movement writ large. | ||
| And like Stephen K Bannon said in his opening today, There's a difference between polls, that's theoretical, and reality, which is Election Day. | ||
| And we're going to get into all the ways that they're already trying to Trump-proof, should President Trump win, or all the deep state hacks that they're rolling out to endorse President Trump. | ||
| Most recently, I think this morning, it was the daughter of George W. Bush. | ||
| Right? | ||
| All the military apparatus, the nice brass. | ||
| wants to tell you after making your kids die in foreign wars to defend borders, other than this country, apparently we can have a wide open southern border, that you're a fascist for daring to support President Trump. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And it's quite an interesting tell that it's the military Because right in that institution, you see the dichotomy between how the elites want to treat our military, our young men and women who are so patriotic and dare to serve this country, as their own protectorate, their own paramilitary force, an international FEMA where they think that crisis and disaster is when the pocketbooks of the board members of Raytheon take a hit. | ||
| Or when soft power and Victoria Nuland's ability to roll out coups across whatever country she deems fit, that's what they think a crisis is. | ||
| And you see what happens domestically with our FEMA. Yeah, they're cash-strapped because they're too busy giving illegal aliens everything they want and more. | ||
| Well, as Stephen K. Bannon represents, we're taking our country back You can throw Stephen K. Bannon in prison, and you know what he's gonna do? | ||
| He's gonna come out stronger and more empowered than ever, and he's gonna run circles around you at a press conference. | ||
| Yet you're a bunch of pseudo-intellectual hacks who, frankly, I think you guys could benefit from a civics lesson from Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Not the inmates in Danbury. | ||
| Now, in typical War Room fashion, we are awaiting Steve's imminent return because he's busy doing some media interviews, but I do believe we are joined by Monica Crowley, who is up in New York. | ||
| She was live at the press conference, and I also see Captain Maureen Bannon. | ||
| Monica, why don't we start with you? | ||
| I think the question that is on everyone's mind, how is Steve doing after that press conference? | ||
| What's the vibe up there? | ||
| What's the energy like? | ||
| Well it's great to be here with you Natalie and with Captain Bannon here on my right on such a hugely momentous day Natalie and also to join you. | ||
| Hi from New York City, the People's Republic, where I early voted yesterday. | ||
| It was quite the experience doing that in Manhattan. | ||
| You know, I'm so honored to be in this chair here today on this hugely important day for all of us here in the War Room. | ||
| You know, Steve Bannon is many things. | ||
| He's an American patriot. | ||
| He is a political prisoner, now a former political prisoner. | ||
| But above all, to me, and I know for you, Natalie, and certainly, well, for Moe, You're his daughter. | ||
| But for me, he's my friend, first and foremost. | ||
| So to see him today and give him a huge, tight hug, I think I may have squeezed him to death, you guys. | ||
| But to give him such a hug after this four-month political persecution where he was incarcerated by his own government, a weaponized government where we are all the enemy because we have wrong think, because we believe in the wrong things according to the weaponized government. | ||
| It was just such a moment for me and I know for everybody else to have Steve Bannon back and at exactly the right time, right? | ||
| Because President Trump has been peaking at exactly the right moment throughout October and now as we go into the end of October and in these final six days of this campaign. | ||
| And Steve Bannon now to have the honey badger back on the ramparts with all of us here in the war room posse and then to have him do this extraordinary press conference today with, you know, Maureen and I were standing behind him. | ||
| And we could see the entire imperial media represented in this very room with their hostile questions and their antagonistic questions. | ||
| They're all mouthpieces of the weaponized government and the security state and weaponized law enforcement. | ||
| And they're firing questions at him. | ||
| And in typical Steve fashion, just like Wonder Woman with the cuffs, remember? | ||
| Natalie and Maureen were Wonder Woman. | ||
| Just like boom, boom, boom. | ||
| Just one bullet after another. | ||
| It was an extraordinary performance where he is telling the American people the truth. | ||

|
Quite an extraordinary. | |
| Of his experience and the stakes of this election. | ||
| So if we can hold you through, Captain Bannon, I also want to get your scoop on the release of Stephen K. Bannon in the early morning hours of today, Tuesday, October 29th. | ||
| A day that will live in infamy, shall we say. | ||
| War and Posse, don't go anywhere. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| Stephen K. Bannon will be joining us shortly. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| *Dramatic Music* Welcome back to The War Room where we're celebrating the triumphant return of Stephen K. Bannon to his rightful throne here in The War Room. | ||
| But in the meantime, I'm holding the fort down. | ||
| We're joined to up in New York by Monica Crowley and Maureen Bannon. | ||
| For those of you who caught just the stunning stellar press conference by Stephen K. Bannon today, you'll notice that all of the harpies in the mainstream media, the questions that they kept trying to go For the jugular with, they all had to say, oh, are you planning another January 6th? | ||
| Well, how about this? | ||
| The real question is not, are we planning another January 6th? | ||
| It's, are you guys planning another steal of the election? | ||
| That's what we're going to get into on this episode once Stephen K. Bannon is back, and most importantly, how we stop and thwart not just that impending, but that steal that is already here. | ||
| Right? | ||
| The resistance never went away. | ||
| They only intensified because they only saw the stakes increase. | ||
| Can't wait for Stephen K. Bannon to be back. | ||
| It's been a while since I've had the honor of co-hosting with him. | ||
| But in the meantime, it is also always an honor to share War Room airtime with the lovely Captain Maureen Bannon. | ||
| Now, Captain Bannon, if the studio wants to toss up this just iconic picture on screen, I would love for you to walk the audience through. | ||
| Give us all the details that you can dare to splurge about Steve's release early this morning from what I understand to be around 3.15 a.m. | ||
| You are correct, Natalie. | ||
| So we arrived at Danbury Correctional Facility to pick up my father and we were escorted in and he was brought out to us by correction officers and that is actually what you see in the picture. | ||
| That is our first moment seeing each other after my father was wrongfully imprisoned. | ||
| by this extreme regime and kept in prison past his early release but that is the first time that we saw each other and you know it's an iconic photo I know a lot of people say it's pretty blurry but it's because it was taken by a reporter from a distance so that's why but those are the first moments after not seeing each other since July 1st when I dropped him off to Danbury. | ||
| And can you just walk us through? | ||
| I know there was a really nice Rolling Stone piece highlighting how Stephen K. Bannon had been teaching civics to inmates, but his life sort of in prison. | ||
| You're obviously saying that you did not go and see him during his four-month stay. | ||
| Was he just focused on, you know, securing a victory for President Trump, staying up to date with the news, and obviously emailing you vigorously back and forth? | ||
| But can you give us any insight on what his four months looked like? | ||
| So, like you said, he did teach government and civics, and from what I have heard, it was wildly popular. | ||
| I mean, everyone out here knows how amazing my dad is and what a great teacher he is. | ||
| So, you know, I truly believe that the inmates at Danbury are... | ||
| Lucky to have had him as a government and civics instructor, and they probably learned a lot, especially, you know, learned as much as the War Room Posse does on a daily basis. | ||
| But I think that the inmates, you know, it was so popular it had to be taught a few different times, but... | ||
| A lot of the men in there, like he said, detest Kamala Harris and just want to learn as much as they can about this political movement. | ||
| And Monica, you have been hitting the campaign trail with Team Trump. | ||
| I'm curious if you can sort of speak to that convergence that Bannon was talking about earlier today among the working class, among people of every race, every ethnicity, and even gender, but how you've sort of experienced that firsthand in the swing states that you've been campaigning in. | ||
| Yeah, thank you so much, Natalie and Mo. | ||
| And, you know, listening to Steve's press conference today and Mo's comments here about his experience in federal prison with these other inmates, his comments today during the press conference made it clear he was deeply engaged with minority men, inmates, African-American, Latino, who are completely getting screwed over by the system. | ||
| And so now he has learned so much more about it But he's also talking about the working class getting screwed by the system as well. | ||
| So these are all running on parallel tracks. | ||
| This is something that President Trump has been addressing for years, even long before he ever decided to run for president. | ||
| But certainly over the last nine years, his campaigns, his presidency the first time, the presidency the second time, is geared toward the forgotten men and women. | ||
| Minorities and others in this country who have been completely screwed by the system. | ||
| Whether it's the Uni Party in Washington D.C. or whether it's the globalists abroad and here, these people have gotten the short end of the stick. | ||
| Steve addressed that today in his press conference. | ||
| And also about the forgotten man, a lot of the inmates in Danbury are part of those forgotten men. | ||
| They are in their past what should have been their release dates or their eligibility for early release to home confinement or a halfway house under the First Step Act. | ||
| And it's blatantly clear that Kamala Harris isn't adhering to the First Step Act. | ||
| And that's why I think a lot of these men and their families are waking up to the fact that Donald J. Trump cares about the American people. | ||
| Kamala Harris doesn't. | ||
| She'd rather keep your significant others in prison for her own benefit. | ||
| Yeah, and Natalie, I spent the whole last week on the campaign trail with the Trump campaign. | ||
| Many days in Pennsylvania, crisscrossing that state on the campaign bus tour. | ||
| And then I was in North Carolina. | ||
| And I can tell you that these crowds that come out, I mean, they're coming out for me and Kristi Noem and Byron Donalds and David Bossy and Corey Lewandowski and Matt Whitaker and Pam Bondi. | ||
| They're coming out for us, like, by the hundreds. | ||
| They're like mini Trump rallies. | ||
| And every single, in every single event, to a person, these are the forgotten men and women. | ||
| Who come out and they are looking for hope in President Trump and Senator J.D. Vance and those of us out there are blessed to be surrogates for this campaign and for them. | ||
| They are looking for hope and they had it for four years under President Trump in the first term. | ||
| The last three and a half going on four years of Biden-Harris, Harris-Biden, has been an historic catastrophe in every way, whether it's the economy, the no borders policy, the collapse of law and order, the collapse of our cities, two new hot wars with our enemies advancing against our interests around the world. | ||
| They see all of this And they know that they're the ones bearing the brunt of this because they're the ones who are forced to go to war. | ||
| They're the ones who are forced to pay sky-high prices at the grocery store and at the gas pump. | ||
| They're the ones who have to deal with the massive influx of illegal immigrants. | ||
| They're the ones who have to deal with spiking crime when they just want to walk down the street in their own community. | ||
| So they're the ones bearing the brunt for these policies coming out of Washington, D.C., and they see so much hope once again in President Trump. | ||
| The difference this time, and Steve touched on this, we don't have to take a leap of faith this time as we did in 2016. | ||
| You know, nobody knew how President Trump was going to govern. | ||
| This is a guy who had never done any of this before, right? | ||
| This time we don't have to take a leap of faith and the forgotten women who have gotten screwed constantly for decades, certainly over the last three and a half, four years, they're looking to President Trump to bring back the policies that served them and to restore the power back to the people, which is what the Founding Fathers intended for our system. | ||
| But our system has become so warped and so perverted by the system that Donald Trump is the only one Who can go back and restore that balance of power back to the American people. | ||
| Well, and you're already seeing it with the early turnout, particularly among rural voters in Georgia. | ||
| I think they're already hitting the 90% threshold of the 2020 turnout already with just a few days into early voting. | ||
| But I'm curious, Monica, to that point where I think there's a profound metaphorical Significance of the Harris regime ignoring the First Step Act implemented by the Trump administration in the same way that they've been working hand in glove and behind the scenes to sort of obstruct the implementation of President Trump's Agenda 47, | ||
| whether it's with pandemic treaties Or preventing the withdrawal from NATO, working around with different whistleblower clearances, all of these myriad of ways that they're trying to obstruct and get in the way, what they call Trump-proofing the country. | ||
| I'm curious your thoughts on those efforts materializing as it looks like a Trump victory, albeit as long as the Warren Posse turns out to vote, is more and more likely. | ||
| Yeah, you know, Steve has often talked about how the system is not just going to let President Trump and all of us march right back in. | ||
| They're not going to do it. | ||
| They're not just going to give up power. | ||
| They are so centralized in their obsession and need for power and control that they're not just going to allow it to happen. | ||
| That's why we've seen everything from the Russia hoax, to two fake impeachments, to two assassination attempts, to Steve Bannon going to prison, Peter Navarro going to prison. | ||
| They have pulled out all of the stops. | ||
| They have thrown the kitchen sink at this man, and they cannot believe That he is still standing, and not just still standing, but thriving, and likely, with the help of the posse, to be re-elected president. | ||
| And so, Natalie, to your point, what this system is doing is trying to lower the boom, you know, drop like iron curtains all across The administration, all across the government to try to prevent President Trump from governing effectively. | ||
| You just laid out a whole number of them, and thank you for that. | ||
| There's so much more going on behind the scenes, some of which we know, some of which we don't know. | ||
| But what we do know is they're also burrowing in. | ||
| Like, when you look at the labor reports, and I look at the labor reports every month, the unemployment rate, etc., The biggest rate of growth in jobs is with the federal government. | ||
| So they are hiring hundreds if not thousands of people every single month to get on the government payroll and then burrow in deeply into the federal government to make it more and more difficult for President Trump to get in there and uproot what needs to be uprooted. | ||
| So, again, they are single-minded in their attempt first to try to stop him come next Tuesday. | ||
| If they fail to do that, then they are throwing every obstacle in his way to try to cripple his second presidency the way they tried to cripple the first with the Russia hoax and the fake impeachment and the holdovers, right? | ||
| You had Obama holdovers, never-Trumpers, You had a whole variety of people who undermined him from within. | ||
| They're going to desperately, in their desperation, try to do that again. | ||
| Right, it's obvious when you have Rachel Maddow propping up Victoria. | ||
| Yeah, having Victoria Newland on the show last night. | ||
| We got about two minutes left. | ||
| Maureen, I'm just curious, your message to whether it was the mainstream media reporters in the press conference today or the left-wing activists on Twitter who are all melting down over your dad's release, the elites over in Brussels, when he says he's empowered, just how exactly empowered is he? | ||
| Well, he said, I'm not broken, I'm empowered. | ||
| And he's empowered to secure a victory for Donald J. Trump on November 5th. | ||
| We know what we've seen the last three and a half, almost four years, has not worked. | ||
| It has destroyed this country. | ||
| And we need Donald J. Trump back in the White House. | ||
| And he is just... | ||
| More than ever, empowered to help secure that victory on November 5th. | ||
| And I think the mainstream media thought that you shut him down, that you silenced him by throwing him in Danbury Correctional Facility. | ||
| You only empowered him and emboldened him more to help secure that victory. | ||
| And he got his voice heard through myself, the amazing guest host, but now he's back behind the mic. | ||
| And his voice is amplified and will be stronger and louder than ever. | ||
| And I can promise you that. | ||
| Paul Revere had his midnight ride where he said the British are coming and Stephen K. Bannon's midnight ride back from Danbury, like I said yesterday. | ||
| Well, I think he probably said retribution is coming and rightfully so. | ||
| Monica Crowley, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything you're working on, where can they go to do that? | ||
| Thank you, Natalie. | ||
| The Monica Crowley podcast on Rumble, you can find it at the Monica Crowley podcast, on Instagram at Monica Crowley underscore, and on Twitter and True Social at Monica Crowley. | ||
| My favorite podcast, second to War Room, though I guess I'm a little biased on that front. | ||
| But Monica, thank you for being in New York, up there with Steve, standing strong amidst a sea of, shall we call them, pseudo-intellectual mainstream media reporters. | ||
| Tim Miller didn't even have the nerve to put on one of his pearl necklaces for Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| How rude. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll be right back. | |
| Welcome back to The War Room, where I believe Stephen K. Bannon will be back at 6pm. | ||
| He's a busy man, as you can imagine. | ||
| The media, even though they pretend to hate him, they all want a piece of him, probably just to goad him into saying things about January 6th, like you saw on full display during that press conference. | ||
| Captain Bannon, I want to give you a chance just to have your sort of final concluding thoughts. | ||
| You know, you hear so much in the left-wing media about how evil President Trump was because of family separation. | ||
| And yet, in reality, I think what they did to your family is tenfold if not a thousandfold worse because your father did nothing wrong. | ||
| His only crime was putting America first. | ||
| Your concluding thoughts on what can only be described as a historic day today, October 29th. | ||
| I agree with you, Natalie. | ||
| My dad did nothing wrong. | ||
| And the fact that Kamala Harris can go on Fox News and say that Donald Trump is a dictator because he wants to throw his political opponents in prison for disagreeing with him, she's just deflecting that exactly who she is. | ||
| She is a dictator, and she and Joe Biden threw anyone that disagreed with them in prison. | ||
| They threw Peter Navarro in prison. | ||
| They threw my dad in prison for four months. | ||
| They thought they were going to silence him, like I said before. | ||
| They will not silence him. | ||
| They did not silence him. | ||
| His voice will continue to be heard. | ||
| He's empowered more than ever. | ||
| And, you know, I think that our team did a great job in these last four months, but I think we're all ready. | ||
| To have my dad back behind the mic, but we are all empowered in the war room to help secure a victory for Donald J. Trump on November 5th because no one else should have their family separated like we did. | ||
| Yeah, that's the real family separation that I'm concerned about. | ||
| Like I said yesterday, let's get Stephen K. Bannon out of prison so we can open up his cell for Merrick Garland or mass deportations. | ||
| Take your pick. | ||
| Maureen, if people want to follow you, stay up to date with everything, where can they go to do that? | ||
| They can follow me on Twitter at Maureen underscore Bannon and also on Instagram at RealMaureenBannon. | ||
| Maureen, you have a backbone of Steele, the antithesis of what the backbones of most people who live and work in Washington, D.C. are made of. | ||
| It's obvious that you are your father's daughter and you know this audience loves you, as do I and as does your dad, so thank you for staying so strong and giving your father the support that he needed the last four months. | ||
| Thank you, Natalie, and like you just said, I am my father's daughter, so I will continue just like him to fight for this country. | ||
| As Stephen K. Bannon would say, hell yeah. | ||
| And I think the posse agrees. | ||
| I think we're going to be joined shortly by Mike Lindell. | ||
| But just in the meantime, there was another glorious moment, I thought, from the press conference where Tim Miller tried to make a joke about how Stephen K. Bannon was already probably committing another crime, that recidivism was probably going to be something that was going to happen again. | ||
| Well, how about this, Tim, and all you bulwark, never-Trumper, America last losers? | ||
| Get ready for it. | ||
| You know that's what's going to happen on November 5th. | ||
| If you guys want to continue criminalizing putting America first, if that's Stephen K. Bannon's original sin, being loyal to President Trump and caring about America as a country enough thinking that it's worth fighting for and not bending the knee to a sham January 6th committee, | ||
| That had no constitutional legitimacy, only rooted its legitimacy in agitprop, I won't even call it political theater, but in a debunked narrative that intel agencies spurred up and created just to try to come for the MAGA movement? | ||
| Well, you've severely misjudged not just this show, but the MAGA movement more broadly. | ||
| Because on this side we have a little something called patriotism and a few misdemeanors from hell, a few nasty press conferences and crisis actors like Cassidy Hutchinson, Sarah Matthews, you know who you are. | ||
| They're not going to intimidate us. | ||
| Or make, like I said, our backbones that are forged of steel and true undying love for this country, they're never going to waver. | ||
| And Stephen K. Bannon is a role model in what that looks like. | ||
| And by the way, Democrats, when you want to stand up there and lecture us about what masculinity looks like, using Michelle Obama, you want to talk about an interesting vessel to do that, you want to use Michelle Obama to do that? | ||
| True masculinity Is what Stephen K. Bannon did for this country. | ||
| Holding the line, standing in the breach, when the entire force of the federal government, deep state and establishment Republican Party came for him, provided no cover, we won't forget, by congressional Republicans. | ||
| And he went and served a four-month sentence like a real man. | ||
| Like a real man that Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama maybe, who knows, could never. | ||
| And that's what the MAGA movement is about. | ||
| An unwavering commitment to this country. | ||
| And Stephen K. Bannon is a prime example of that. | ||
| And frankly, when President Trump wins, I think that Stephen K. Bannon should receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. | ||
| And I'll just let you know, Tim Miller, if the crime is putting America first, then the rate of recidivism among the entire MAGA movement is going to be pretty damn high, because we're never going to stop doing that, no matter what you try. | ||
| And neither is Mike Lindell, who joins us now. | ||
| Mike, a historic day. | ||
| Let's make some records when it comes to MyPillow sales. | ||
| Hit us with the latest. | ||
| Yeah, this is the win-win-win-win day. | ||
