Speaker Time Text
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 got a free shot of 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 try 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 lie?
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.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
It's getting back and saying the exact same thing to We can't reach the courthouse.
Roxanne did call a coworker because she works at the courthouse, just not in the election office, and he is informing us that literally everybody in the county is having the exact same problem.
So they would be getting overwhelmed by a call.
steve bannon
Because that audio is not the best.
That's the audio.
These are provisional ballots.
We're bringing Jack.
So, by the way, it's Tuesday, 5 November.
This is one of the most important days in modern American history.
And I'm going to play something here in a moment that's quite stunning from Mark Halperin.
And Mark Halperin, besides all his issues he had to deal with, is still one of the smartest guys out there in politics.
And he ain't MAGA. This guy's a center-left guy or a lefty.
I just sent it to the team.
But Jack, it's stunning news about Pennsylvania coming from him, and he's also got a brain analysis of Wisconsin.
Jack Posobiec, so the machine problems, and I want you to make the pitch for provisional ballots.
Because people, if the machines are screwed up, what do they need to do?
unidentified
Look, look, look.
There's two things that are going on, and we knew this was going to happen, okay?
We knew that there would be machine issues, and here they are, right?
You don't need to be Mike Lindell to tell you that.
So here's the two options.
First option is provisional ballot.
I've been on the phone with election integrity lawyers even yesterday about this.
Guess what?
The provisional ballot goes in.
It's the same as doing an in-person early vote.
It just gets count by a human.
Actually, it doesn't get scanned by the machine at all.
So if you do a provisional ballot, it's a paper ballot.
There's no machine involved in any way.
And then what you do is that you can wait to see, and you can check on the website to see if your vote actually was cast or not, if it was returned.
Those all get counted at the end of election day.
And the election integrity lawyers across Pennsylvania are already working on this.
Chairman Watley from the entire head of the RNC is directly focused on this issue.
Can break down in Johnstown.
And I can tell you what I'm hearing is they're looking at if this extends longer and people have to- because I get it.
People have to go to work.
People have stuff to do.
They're also looking to see whether or not they can find a way to extend the hours out there The same way that we had issues in Bucks County, we extended the voting by several days.
They're looking at extending to vote hours in Cambria County to make sure that all of our people get an opportunity to vote.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
steve bannon
Hang on.
unidentified
What's up?
steve bannon
Hang on, though.
Is DeGrasse still there?
Is DeGrasse still in?
Look, extending the hours, you're going to open up a can of worms here, aren't you?
Because they're going to want to extend hours in Philadelphia to, I don't know, maybe Thursday.
Once you open Pandora's box, and I understand the rural counties are tough.
That's where people got to get in line.
And, hey, I know it's hard.
You got to come after work.
But...
Isn't it true that the Democratic Party machine, if they see this happening in rural Pennsylvania, they will demand that you got, you know, and then you just open up a can of worms in Philadelphia, they can start generating, you know, do what they normally do, Jack Posobiec.
unidentified
See, if Philadelphia was going to do that, but generating ballots, we would see it already in the vote by mail, which, oh wait, already didn't happen because it trickled to almost nothing.
And yesterday was a day when we saw Republicans actually overtake Democrats in their vote by mail return rate.
So if they wanted to do any of those games with just generating ballots, they would have done that by now.
That was the whole opening pitch you gave this morning, and it was fantastic.
Look, I think that they know What's going on?
And again, legally speaking, they can only do that if there are machine issues.
So that's gonna affect their voters anyway, because if they couldn't get their voters out in the first place and the machines were down, they're not gonna be showing up later.
So the Democrats in Philly would be stuck between a rock and a hard place on this.
Because they didn't harvest the vote.
They didn't chase the ballots when they should have.
They didn't get them out.
And if the machines have issues, they're not going to be getting them back.
It's as simple as well.
So, look, we are seeing and we're not hearing these issues.
steve bannon
I know they didn't do an early voting.
Just give them more time.
Hang on right there, Pasovic.
Let me bring in Alex de Grasse.
De Grasse, what do you think we got going on here?
unidentified
Well, I mean, the key, the provisional ballots are really key because they do get counted.
And you just have to really make sure you report it to President Trump's legal integrity, you know, team.
Because what we do is, as operatives, we track it.
We've got this master list of all these people that have voted provisional.
And then there's that separate process.
And we make sure those get counted or there's legal, you know, sort of battles that get counted.
You know, which ones don't count.
They get challenged.
And there's a separate process for that.
So it's clean.
It's not ideal.
When you do leave things open, you could send motion to chain reaction.
We've seen that in other places where then someone else will sue and say, well, it's not fair because they opened and then they got more people to the polls and it just gets unrest.
We want this thing wrapped up as soon as we can.
But I'm reading about these polling issues.
Looks like a big Republican area.
A lot of people getting upset.
I see on the video people just need to be calm.
You could vote provisional like Jack said.
Or stay in line, because it's worth it.
And they'll get this fixed, hopefully.
But record everything that's going on.
Names of workers, video if you can, legally.
steve bannon
Yes.
unidentified
Yes.
steve bannon
And for the election integrity people, make sure you talk to your supervisors.
Don't let them chase you out of the rooms.
And right now...
If you're standing in line, don't go home.
They're going to try to make this as unpleasant as possible because they see the blowout that's coming.
You guys are doing an extraordinary job.
Drew Grassley there.
Cash is with me also, but post on what you...
I'm taking the two opposite ends of the spectrums, and these are only meaningful about direction.
But Dixville-Notch is split 50-50, and if you notice this morning, if it was the, you know, Trump didn't get a vote in 2020, and man, it has the lead story in CNN. Trump split the vote three and three.
You go to Guam, it's the first time, I don't know, since Reagan's first time forever that Trump's doing great out there.
I think you're seeing there's something in the ether.
There's something in the atmosphere.
It's a populist nationalist revolt.
Jack Posobiec, thoughts?
unidentified
Steve, we talked about this before.
And we talked about the fact that in Pennsylvania, we do not have legal early voting.
By the way, I'm not just seeing this in Pennsylvania.
This is up and down the eastern seaboard, even out to Ohio, where Bernie Moreno is up for election against Sherrod Brown.
And there's a couple of points up in the latest polls that were there, those late-breaking polls.
So we're seeing this.
It's the muscular class.
It is the working class.
And it is largely male that I'm seeing this.
And I've got buddies that are driving around I've got people up in Ducks County, I've got people up in Cambria County, I've got people in Philadelphia, I've got people in Montgomery County, just all across the entire state.
And they are telling me that the lines they see are predominantly male voters who are coming out early and coming out to vote in big margins.
I'm also hearing from the Gettysburg area, from the farmers and everyone.
In Franklin County, they're basically saying, we're getting everyone in the family to vote.
The guys who usually are working, we're bringing them along.
We're bringing the cousins.
We're bringing the kids.
They're over 18 now.
They can vote.
The people who don't normally vote do support Trump.
They're making sure that every single name is accounted for.
Every single person is coming out this time.
steve bannon
Okay, hang on.
unidentified
Kash Patel, thoughts?
Steve, I'm going to stick with the theme of the day and continue using cheat sheets here.
I'm going to read you what I rarely do, texting with our great president.
I'm just going to read you a simple message.
Thank you, boss.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on.
Ho, ho, ho.
How did we get the one South Asian that's terrible in math?
I was in Danbury.
I had an IIT guy that I got very close to from Goldman Sachs.
I'm the only poor guy who sucks at math.
unidentified
Where's affirmative action when you need it?
steve bannon
Yeah, exactly.
Come on, man.
But continue on.
unidentified
Gotta get it done.
But here's the message.
I rarely do this, Steve, but it's worth it for the war room posse.
I'm texting our great leader, President Trump, and my note to him that I normally keep private, but on this day I won't.
Thank you, boss.
You are our champion, our relentless warrior of justice and our titan of peace.
Thank you for leading us, USA. Now I got two messages, Steve.
I got two messages.
One, Hold it, hold it, hold it.
steve bannon
Was that copy Kash Patel?
unidentified
I'm free to be head of CIA. Did you put that at the bottom?
steve bannon
Come on, man.
donald j trump
Hold it.
steve bannon
Not only is he pitching himself, he's pitching himself to the president.
unidentified
You then got to read it on national TV? Cash, we got a more subtle way.
steve bannon
We'll get you in there.
unidentified
Hey, transition team.
steve bannon
Transition team.
His name is Cash Patel.
Watch out.
He's dangerous.
unidentified
He's a government gangster.
steve bannon
He wants to be a government gangster.
unidentified
I didn't want to do this on live air, but I gotta give you an information update, FCC. Steve Bannon has officially completed his transition into the Vidal Sassoon program now that he's been released from his unconstitutional prison service.
Can confirm as a connoisseur of hair products.
So I just wanted to announce his transition on national TV in the war room.
Wow.
And he's going to start pushing those products soon.
Promo code Bannon?
steve bannon
Hey, I hope you have a better luck with the president buttering him up than me because, no, you're not replacing her as co-host.
She's still the co-host.
Good try.
unidentified
I'm good at math.
steve bannon
Exactly.
She went to the University of Chicago, not the local Long Island community college you went to, right?
So good luck.
I hope that CIA thing works out for you.
Continue on, Cash.
unidentified
I got two messages.
I got two messages.
One, I got to talk to my Indian Americans.
We are 1% of the population in every swing state.
1% of the population in every swing state.
If half of you vote to bring this thing home, Donald Trump wins in a landslide.
We are living the lawful immigrant American dream.
Every single one of us.
Every single one of our children.
Our parents and grandparents came here to escape.
Genocidal dictators to seek a better life.
They are living that American dream.
You're looking at this kid.
Who is on the war room on the presidential election day in Palm Beach with Steve Bannon and company and about to go see our great leader.
That doesn't happen anywhere else.
This dream will be vanquished under Kamala Harris.
Indians get out and vote and read Donald Trump's message on this auspicious occasion of Diwali to every Indian American out there.
He wished us a happy Diwali, the battle for good over evil.
These are most auspicious holidays.
Get it done in the swing states.
And lastly, Steve, the message is almost the same for gun owners and evangelicals and the Bitcoin guys.
Millions of y'all sat home in 2020.
President Trump has spoken to you singularly, together and collectively and not left you behind like Kamala Harris.
He has provided policies that will champion the issues you care about.
Gun owners, get off your behinds.
Evangelicals, let's get to the polls.
Bitcoiners and gamers, Donald Trump is creating policies for you.
Let's defeat the stereotypes together.
You do not sit in basements.
You do not lay on couches.
You are every bit of American as we are.
Our brave leader, Donald Trump, has reached out to you.
Let's unify this country from coast to coast, Steve.
Every swing state needs to show up.
Ballots harvested legally.
Get in line.
Stay in line.
And let's bring this thing home.
Steve, I'm going to see you later from Mar-a-Lago, and I'm also going to call you later from the Palm Beach Convention Center.
And Steve, my brother...
I'm going to say this tonight, to you tonight.
We, you and I, are going to tell this world who our next president is when I get to that convention center tonight.
Thank you, War Room Posse.
Get it done.
steve bannon
Amen, brother.
Amen.
I'll call you after the show, and we'll have you back on tonight.
You're both at Mar-a-Lago and at the convention center.
DeGrasse, you've got a warning out there for people.
A lot of people are kind of running.
It's a run-and-gun day, but hey, you've got to be focused here.
Alex DeGrasse.
unidentified
Did I lose DeGrasse?
steve bannon
He muted himself.
Don't let that technology be smarter than you, Alex.
I'll tell you for this big dramatic moment.
Okay, there we go.
Okay.
I realize you're only working over at the house.
Once we upgrade your technical skills, we'll still...
Hang on, I tell you what.
It's too important to cram in here.
You hang right there.
I got Alex DeGrasse.
Cash had to go.
He's down at Mar-a-Lago.
With the president, Jack Posobiec, hanging out in Arizona.
I'm so glad he's out there.
Charlie Kirk.
We're on pitch to Charlie Kirk at the top of the hour.
You get five hours of populist nationalism every day here in rural America.
Actually, you get seven hours, I guess.
You get four hours of the war room, two in the morning, two in the afternoon.
You get two of Charlie, you get one of Jack, two, four, six, seven.
I can do math.
I think we should add another hour.
We're in discussions on that.
Have your agent call me.
God.
unidentified
10% for the big guy.
steve bannon
Done.
Done.
We need a spiff.
unidentified
15.
I'll be nice.
steve bannon
We need to be spiffed.
We need a spiff.
We need a carried interest.
But people need to vote.
unidentified
Especially men.
steve bannon
Alex DeGrasse.
Natalie told you.
Gotta vote.
unidentified
Okay.
steve bannon
Short break.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Van.
steve bannon
Okay, Alex DeGrasse is the right-hand man of Elise Stefanik.
He's all over these house races as he's been in the last couple of years and helping us out here.
This is a huge deal.
Sabato, who's one of the more prominent guys in the Democratic side of things on polling, has this big center down at the University of Virginia, came out last night with his analysis and said, hey, look, I've looked at everything.
It's going to be razor thin.
It's going to be tight.
But he's predicting...
A takeover in the House by the Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries, would be Speaker of the House, in 218 to 217.
This is just one small notch down from getting President Trump across the finish line.
That's what people in these congressional districts, you have to represent today.
The down ticket is brutally important here.
Alex, update, and particularly because there's all kind of discussions now of expanded times and things happening in lines, what do you got for us?
unidentified
I think the most important thing is to be so calm and methodical.
Just focus on getting out the vote, being calm.
We're seeing issues in New York, especially in the Jewish areas, Steve.
But we've got lawyers on the ground.
We've got election integrity teams already there.
I just checked.
Things are moving.
People need to be calm.
We have a much better apparatus.
I'm certainly seeing some of our volunteer lawyer guys.
They're very trigger-happy.
They're excited.
MAGA guys, you know?
We just, we want this election to be done as legally early as possible.
That's the name of the game tonight, regardless of where anything is going on.
alex degrasse
The faster this thing is done and certified, because as you said, Steve, and I send it to every staffer in the National Party pretty much, Every day after Election Day, starting tomorrow morning, is going to be like Stalingrad.
unidentified
Some people didn't know what that was, so we had a history lesson.
But I'm talking about they're going to throw everything they can.
So we put this to bed today.
I think that's on the table based off the numbers.
I'm seeing in upstate New York significant Republicans voting in New York 19, New York 18, 22.
The numbers look strong for Brandon Williams.
All of those seats, by the way, Larry said we were going to lose.
So right now we're in the lead.
steve bannon
Okay, so hold it.
Hang on.
Hang on.
This is what I want to get to.
It goes, New York's so important.
This is really the reason President Trump had the MSG. He wanted to give some support in New York.
You're saying all those ones we just went to, Sabato had us losing, and that's what got Hakeem Jeffries to the 218, correct?
unidentified
Exactly.
We hold them in New York.
There's no path.
That's why...
I mean, I sat with President Trump and Elise.
I mean, I think it was a year ago.
steve bannon
Yeah.
unidentified
Or more.
And he looked at her and said, we need to get this done in New York.
steve bannon
This is why these numbers out in New York are so important.
Just repeat that.
If they don't pick up these seats in New York, there's no path for Hakeem Jeffries.
There's no California pickups.
There's no Oregon pickups.
There's no pickups in Virginia.
There's not enough throughout the rest of the country for him to take the house.
unidentified
If we hold them in New York, the path is limited.
It's almost nonexistence, of course.
Anything can happen.
But statistically, it's very challenging.
They really need two or three, which is what Larry has in his model.
He has three, flipping as well as no pickups.
I mean, we just looked at the poll in New York 18.
Larry Sabato has it as a likely Democrat, not even lean, likely.
And President Trump is winning that seat by five points.
So...
I feel great about that, but we have to be calm.
We need to vote.
We need to get everyone to vote.
You need to wait in line.
Don't wear your MAGA gear.
Don't talk to people in the line like Posa.
Posa's been great.
He's all over all this.
You want to be calm.
Don't talk to people.
Vote.
Text your buddies.
Make some calls today.
People feel great.
I've heard the Democrats are panicking.
steve bannon
Hang on.
Tell me about that, because you've got close relationships with these Democrats, both in New York and in the House.
What are you hearing from the other side?
I'm hearing the same thing.
In fact, do we have a video of Mark Halperin?
Can we put that up, the Mark Halperin piece?
Maybe get that to Poso.
Mark Halperin.
I don't have it up yet.
As soon as I get it, I'll read it again.
Let me read the Mark Halperin.
Mark Halpern's put this up, and I just want to repeat this, kind of what you've heard in War Room, but it's coming from a guy that's an independent guy.
Do we have the audio?
The video?
Let's play the video.
Let's play this.
Hang on for a second to grass.
unidentified
Let's talk about Pennsylvania, okay?
This is a state where the early vote matches, as I said, what we've seen other places.
Disappointing turnout in Philadelphia.
Go ahead and put up the Pennsylvania chart, please.
Not enough vote coming from Philadelphia.
Lots of votes coming from rural.
So this chart looks at 2020, 2022, and 2024 in the early vote, the mail-in vote.
And the most important thing, I think, to look at is...
It's where it says GOP returns and Dem returns.
So you see, in 2020, the GOP returns were 580,000, and the Democratic return ballots were 1.6 million, okay?
Almost a million, over a million vote difference on the early vote.
And then go to the first column, and you see the Republican returns are slightly higher, almost 600,000.
But the Democratic returns are down 600,000 from 2020.
Okay?
So, again, in a world where the vast majority of Republicans are going to vote Republican, the vast majority of Democrats are going to vote for Democrats.
Democrats have a big lead.
They have a 400,000-vote lead.
But we know...
Just as we knew Democrats would have more votes early than Republicans, we know that Republicans will have more votes on Election Day than Democrats.
So if this is the final lead, and I think we'll get another round here, but we will get another round, or maybe two.
But this means that Democrats in 2020 went into Election Day with over a million-vote lead, and they barely won the state.
They won the state by less than 100,000 votes.
And...
steve bannon
I'm going to play the rest of that later.
He says at the end, he sees that it's very, and look, this is not a MAGA guy.
He says it's very hard for him to see that she's got a path in Pennsylvania.
Let me be blunt.
She doesn't win Pennsylvania.
She's not the president.
That's just the way this thing's coming down.
We jammed her up to the blue wall.
She's got to win the blue wall.
She's got to win Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
In fact, the guys were talking about it on Morning Joe this morning.
They said the number 270 to 268.
And, you know, Jonathan Martin was a smart guy at the New York Times, right?
And one of the guys from Politico on Morning Joe all the time said, hey, her path is to 270 and he's got to carry the blue wall.
DeGrasse, before I go back to Postal, what are you hearing?
unidentified
Well, that's right, Steve.
I mean, the whole point of this entire effort on the early vote was we knew that, you know, we're going to do great on game day, right?
And so every vote that was cast cut that margin down on what we needed.
What we're seeing is that we're overperforming on game day as typically done.
And we over-performed on the early votes significantly.
It gets it impossible.
This was sort of the master plan of all Republicans, right?
Up and down the bow, we realized that if we could move the numbers on the front end and then push through on game day, that her path would be very limited.
It's all happening.
I feel great about it.
I mean, the numbers in Pennsylvania are outstanding.
I mean, what Scott Pressler, I mean, what Poso getting the videos out with Philadelphia, they're not voting.
That's what I'm hearing.
I'm hearing that no one's voting on their side and that they are in a free fall about it.
So all we can do is own your vote, go vote, get people out, be calm, be safe.
steve bannon
Okay.
You're now participating in history, okay?
Everybody needs to represent.
Everybody wants to be part of this.
So own your vote.
Be a force multiplier.
Take out other people.
Hang on for a second, DeGrasse.
Pasobic, what are you hearing about Pennsylvania?
We're going to try to get Sam Faddis, track him down.
I think Laura Trump, if she's free, we're going to try to get her also.
What are you hearing about Pennsylvania, Pasobic?
unidentified
Look, Steve, it's the same thing all over.
I'm looking at data that's come in, I think, as of 11.07 a.m.
and the in-person turnout.
It is very strong in the southern wards, the lower wards.
I'm talking about 39.40.
It's coming up.
That's your South Philly.
That's your Italians.
And then it's high again up in the Northeast.
The greater Northeast.
These are areas where you do have a larger Trump vote.
And then, yes, we are seeing turnout as well, picking up in some of the center city wards.
So that's something that I'm definitely going to be keeping a look at as we go through all of this for the day.
And that's just Philadelphia, okay?
That's just Philadelphia.
But I'm also hearing the Collar Counties.
Collar Counties had big turnout.
That's your affluent suburbs.
Big turnout.
Free work.
That would slow down.
Typically, by the way, you have on election day, you have three major tranches or pushes of voting.
So you have pre-work, then the lunch rush, then your post-work.
So the pre-work rush is done.
Next, we look to see the lunch rush.
That'll probably run about 11 to 2, give or take.
Then from 5 p.m.
to 8 p.m., that's your last rush.
So we're done the first one.
So those college counties are down, but the rurals are still coming in steady.
They are still coming in steady and it's line after line after line in these rural areas.
But people need to know, if you're getting one of these issues, if you're hearing any of these issues, Or something like this.
And it's simple.
Just cast a paper ballot.
Cast a paper ballot.
It's right there.
It's on the books.
It is totally legal.
You cast the paper ballot.
It's known as a provisional ballot.
You cast the paper ballot.
They have to count it by law.
They have to count it by law.
And the lawyers are there from the Trump team, from the RNC, Laura Trump, Watley.
They're all over this thing.
So you cast a paper ballot if you want to.
It's as simple as that.
And people, just keep up the momentum.
Look, it is 11.28 a.m.
right now.
We've still got a lot of baseball left.
So just keep up the momentum in the rural areas and we can bring this thing home.
steve bannon
Keep the pedal down.
Jack, hang on for a second.
Birchgold.com slash Bannon, the end of the dollar empire.
Get smart like the Bricks Nations.
They're not too happy with the dollar.
I don't know.
Maybe it has something to do with the 20-25% depreciation that we've had over the last couple of years.
They think they've got alternatives.
Maybe not now, but eventually.
This is why you need to know that gold has been a hedge against times of financial turbulence for 5,000 years.

Media Matters already clipped our Red Mirage repartee.
That has to be record time.
steve bannon

Short break.
Lara Trump.
We're going to try to get Lara up here in a moment.
Posovic.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
steve bannon
Okay, welcome back.
It's game day.
And so far, folks are really putting their shoulder to the wheel.
It's pretty amazing.
We now have the vice chairman of the Republican National Committee.
That would be Laura Trump.
Laura, can you give us your assessment of where you think we stand this morning?
lara trump
It's looking really good, Steve.
Listen, we saw the early vote totals all across, really, these battleground states were huge for Republicans, historic in so many places.
And so that set us off on the right foot.
And then I think you're seeing everywhere in the country right now, there are really long lines.
Everyone I talk to in every one of the battleground states is telling me the lines are long, people are waiting in the lines.
We have identified issues already and we have dealt with the issues already.
People may know there were eight counties in Pennsylvania where they were trying to turn away our poll watchers early this morning when they showed up to these locations.
And obviously the RNC intervened.
We have attorneys on the ground at the ready.
To take anything that comes their way.
And this was one of the first issues we identified today.
Our poll watchers are in all of these locations.
I'm happy to report.
And we also are aware of a lot of the voting machine issues.
I know I've heard about several in Pennsylvania and one in Ohio.
And we have in Cambria County so far, Pennsylvania.
I asked for an emergency petition to extend the voting hours to make sure that everybody gets their vote in.
So I want to make sure everybody knows, do not get out of line.
Stay in line.
Cast your ballot.
I heard Jack Posobiec just before I came on.
Use a paper ballot if that's what they're going to give you.
But make sure you get your vote cast.
Do not get out of line.
steve bannon
Let's talk about it.
We hear these long lines.
I mean, obviously, we have the big grassroots over here.
The feedback we're getting from the grassroots participants is pretty extraordinary.
What are you hearing?
Is there any analytics that you're hearing right now?
Anything of any targets that you guys were focused on that you think we're pushing through?
lara trump
I do.
I mean, look, the traditional way things go is that Republicans typically turn up on Election Day.
We show up big on Election Day.
And whenever you look at the early vote numbers, a lot of people were concerned, would we cannibalize our Election Day voters?
And actually, I think what we did from the Trump campaign and the RNC in terms of identifying, targeting, and then reaching out to the low propensity voters It really has turned up to be a huge success for us, at least so far.
Because around 18% of the people who came out and early voted in all of these battleground states were people who were the low propensity voters.
Meaning these are folks who hadn't voted in the last several presidential elections.
And we know that they're Republicans.
We know that when they come out, they're gonna vote for Donald Trump and Republicans down ballot.
That's gonna be really, really powerful.
I think in this election.
And that was always our intention was to target these low propensity voters, get them out early.
And that is indeed what we did.
And so I think a lot of the people who maybe are your traditional but hardcore Republican base, those are the people that are out there today.
They're gonna wait in those lines.
And as I always say to my father-in-law, look, people would crawl across broken glass and hot coals to vote for you.
I think no matter what, these people are gonna wait in these long lines and they're gonna make sure that they vote for Donald Trump.
steve bannon
You know, one of the reasons because of the outreach that you have led, but it's pretty obvious from the math that the minority community, particularly African-American men and Hispanic men in places like Atlanta, places like particularly Philadelphia, are just not coming out to vote.
What is your at least initial assessment of this?
lara trump
Well, I think that's right.
And I think overall what we've seen, the trends that we saw in early voting were that a lot of the urban vote was way, way down.
And this is everywhere in the country.
We're talking Philadelphia, we're talking Atlanta, Charlotte.
All of the urban vote totals are way down from where they were in the early vote.
In 2020.
But conversely, the rule vote is very, very high, and it's much higher than we've ever seen.
That was from our early vote total.
So if that trend continues, which we typically expect it will, again, the more red counties are the ones that typically turn out in bigger numbers on Election Day.
Then that's huge.
That's a big win for us.
And I think whenever you look at the polling, especially you're talking about African-American voters, the polling for Donald Trump right now is off the charts.
We haven't seen a Republican, Steve, I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, With this kind of polling, Donald Trump's polling around 30% with African American voters.
That's something that I'm sure has terrified the Harris campaign.
You look at the Arab American vote.
Donald Trump, of course, was endorsed in Michigan by that Arab American mayor, a Democrat mayor, no less.
He was on stage with us last night in Grand Rapids.
And I think that those are things that are gonna turn out to be a huge problem for Kamala Harris and a huge win for Donald Trump.
You have the Latino vote very high, or at least the polling would indicate it would be so for Donald Trump in this election cycle.
And they talk about the men versus women.
Well, Donald Trump is doing far better with men than Kamala Harris is doing with women.
And that also can't be overstated.
And I think, especially last night, getting that Joe Rogan endorsement, maybe it turns a few more of the men out to vote for Donald Trump today.
So, obviously, we'll have to wait and see.
But every indication we have is that everything is let on target.
Everything is as we would want it to be right now, heading into Election Day.
And I think we're in for a very exciting evening.
steve bannon
By the way, fantastic job.
You're absolutely correct.
I gotta ask you before you go.
North Carolina.
That's the one to me that's always the hardest to kind of think through, although President Trump carried it in 16 and 20.
What's your sense, given that North Carolina is very close to your heart?
Talk to me about North Carolina.
lara trump
Well, you know he's tasked me with winning my home state, Steve, three times.
Now, this will be the third time's a charm.
And we won it by a little over three points in 2016, just shy of two points in 2020.
And it is razor thin, and everybody continues to talk about that.
Look, this is a great state.
A lot of people from the Northeast have moved to North Carolina.
It does seem to be a bit of a purple state.
We've kept it red for two election cycles.
I'll tell you what I've heard from everybody on the ground there.
Our team has been amazing, and they have done such great voter outreach.
Our Trump Force 47 captains, shout out to all of them.
They've done amazing work, and I do think it will turn out the vote in North Carolina for Donald Trump.
We do expect it to stay red.
steve bannon
Laura, social media, how do people keep up to date with everything going on with you today?
lara trump
Yeah, we're giving people updates in real time, Steve.
We wanna make sure that if there's an issue out there, we're trying to report back that we have identified it and we're handling it from the RNC. I'm at Laura Lee Trump, L-A-R-A-L-E-A Trump on X and Instagram, and obviously Chairman Watley.
You can follow both of us or at GOP for any updates.
We're trying to give real-time updates as we get them to make sure people have the confidence to come out and cast their vote.
It is so, so important.
Get out and vote today, please.
steve bannon
Laura, thank you so much.
Honored to have you on here on the day of all days.
lara trump
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
steve bannon
Now we have breaking news.
Again, Media Matters is all over our...
unidentified
And Raw Story.
steve bannon
Well, Raw Story.
unidentified
They didn't like what you said about Merrick Garland.
steve bannon
They didn't.
unidentified
They thought you were heckling him.
steve bannon
I was heckling him.
lara trump
You guys have been watching the war room for the last four months?
unidentified
It's a full heckle.
steve bannon
What do you mean, guys?
Come on, Raw Story.
Get better than that.
unidentified
They don't like the Willard.
You should walk the audience through the significance of the Willard decision.
steve bannon
The Willard is...
Well, maybe I'll hold that to five and walk around.
The Willard is where we had the technical war room, not the show, but we had the technical war room in trying to stop the steal in 2020.
That was Jack Smith's favorite place.
And Merrick Garland, very upset about it.
Nancy Pelosi, very upset about it.
Like I said, suck on that.
But that's where we decided to go to the roof.
Suck on the early vote numbers, too.
Yes, yes.
And it's also historic.
It's where President Lincoln had to be snuck into the Capitol through Baltimore when he came here, when he won the presidency.
And the Willard is where President Lincoln hung out I think a week or so before he went over to the White House for his inauguration.
Very, very famous.
The landmark hotel in Washington, D.C. Very historic.
Any updates?
By the way, Media Matters is all over.
We want to thank our marketing director at Media Matters, Madeline Peltz.
She's always on point.
Make sure you push out more of our content.
Before I go back to Posto, any thoughts, Natalie?
unidentified
They have extended the voting in that one county, Canberra County, until 10 p.m.
at least.
steve bannon
10 p.m.?
unidentified
Yes.
Wow.
steve bannon
That's the kind of turnout you got of MAGA. Watch.
They're going to do the same thing in Philadelphia, although there are no lines there.
They're going to do the same thing in Philadelphia.
Jack Posobiec, we're getting ready to go to Charlie Kirk's show.
You made a brilliant move.
I'm so glad you're out there with Charlie.
You're going to be co-anchoring because you guys are going to be up all day.
You and I will be in with Charlie jumping in and out of the coverage tonight.
I'm glad you're out there.
Give me some thoughts about, but your primary response, like Laura Trump's been designated by the president to win North Carolina or make sure North Carolina comes as a win.
Corey Lewandowski got tapped in New Hampshire.
Brother Posobiec, you are the Pennsylvania guy, so tell me where we stand.
unidentified
Well, Steve, thank you so much.
And actually, I'm probably going to be walking, I'm just down the street from probably right now, so I'm probably going to head over there to the Turning Point Command Center here in a little bit.
By the way, just so you know, Arizona, Wisconsin, huge numbers as well.
And Tyler Boyer was up here at 5 a.m.
Arizona time with buses that they've got to bring people around.
And we'll be talking more about that because Arizona, Maricopa County specifically, has got this strange Choose your own voting center system so you can actually bust people from one poll to the other if there's long lines like what happened in 2022.
Other states don't have that, but if they did, you know, you gotta love the creative solutions these guys come up with.
In Wisconsin as well, huge numbers from the rural areas that's coming in.
And Madison, Wisconsin, we're seeing low turnout as well.
When it comes to Pennsylvania, look, Philadelphia is starting to come online.
People need to see this.
Like I said before, we're starting to see a little bit of a slowdown in terms of some of the stuff that I'd like to see.
So yeah, boom right out of the gate for Pennsylvania.
But now there's a little bit of a slowdown going on in the red areas, and the blue areas are starting to wake up.
They wake up a little later.
They vote a little later.
You know how it is.
You know how it goes.
Rush Limbaugh used to have a line about that that I'm not going to repeat right now.
But we need to stay focused.
We need to get our heads in the game.
We need to be vote multipliers.
Go vote, and then once you vote, think, how can I multiply my vote?
Be creative.
Can I motivate people in line?
Can I wave the American flag?
Stand there and wave the American flag.
What are they going to do?
That's not political.
Just stand there and wave the American flag if you want to.
And then you're You're texting people.
You're knocking on doors.
You're doing whatever it is you can between now and 8 p.m.
or 10 p.m., if they've extended the line in some of these areas.
steve bannon
Hey, Jack.
Jack, just hang on one second.
We're going to go.
President Trump is actually voting.
I think he may be saying something.
Let's cut to Florida and President Donald J. Trump.
donald j trump
We got back pretty late last night, and it was an honor.
It was a great honor.
We had four incredible rallies.
And left Michigan late at night.
Many of you are with us.
And I hear we're doing very well.
We did a great job in that we brought it back to the States, as you know.
I believe in exceptions, as Ronald Reagan did.
And we did a great job.
We did something that they wanted to do for 52 years.
Yes, please.
unidentified
Well, it'll be just that.
donald j trump
We want to bring everybody in.
We want to be very inclusive, and we will be very inclusive.
We have a great country, but we have a country that's in trouble.
It's in big trouble in many ways.
And we have to straighten it out.
We have crime is through the roof.
We have people pouring through our borders that are Not exactly perfect.
They come out of prisons.
They come out of prisons.
13,000 people convicted of murder.
We don't need this in our country.
We have enough difficulty.
We don't need that.
So I think people saw that.
It just seems that the Conservatives are voting very powerfully.
Just finish it up.
No, I feel very confident.
I have felt.
You know, we went in with a very big lead today.
And it looks like Republicans have shown up in force.
So, we'll see how it turns out.
But it seems that they have...
Really shown up in force.
I just got a call from Dan Patrick in Texas.
He said they've never seen anything like it.
unidentified
Look, regrets.
donald j trump
You always have regrets.
I can't think of any, to be honest, to use her expression.
I can't think of any.
Look, I ran a great campaign.
I think it was maybe the best of the three.
We did great in the first one.
We did much better in the second one, but something happened.
And this was the best.
I would say this was the best campaign we ran.
unidentified
Do you accept the possibility that you and Vice President Harris both might not get to 270 electoral votes by the end of tonight?
donald j trump
It should never happen.
A thing like that should never happen.
This election should be over.
They spend all this money on machines.
And frankly, if they'd use paper ballots, it would be over by 10 o'clock.
And by the way, the paper ballots would cost 8%.
It would be 8% of the cost if they would use paper ballots, voter ID. Proof of citizenship and one day voting, it would all be over by 10 o'clock in the evening.
It's crazy.
They use these very expensive computers and I'm hearing in Pennsylvania they won't have an answer till two or three days from now.
I think it's an absolute outrage if that's the case.
Maybe it'll be later, but it's paper ballots in France.
They went paper ballots because the mail-in was not working.
It was corrupt.
And in France, they won paper ballots.
And at 10 o'clock in the evening, they had 37 million votes counted and done.
They had a winner, they had a loser.
And in this country, I mean, I'm just hearing that in certain states, it's going to be a long time, and it won't even be close.
It won't even be that close.
They say, I'm going to win the state, but it's going to take a long time to certify it.
unidentified
Could you see a world where you don't declare victory tonight?
donald j trump
Yeah, I mean, I'm hearing the same things that you're hearing.
I'm hearing states where I'm up by a lot, but they won't have a final number for a long time.
So we're going to have a very special group of people, many of whom you know, and they'll be at Mar-a-Lago.
In addition, we'll have four or five thousand people at the convention center.
On the assumption I win, I mean, I don't know if something else happens.
I don't know what's going to happen in terms of declaring victory.
But in normal times, I would go over to the convention center, let's say at 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock or something.
But I just don't know.
It looks like we have a very substantial lead.
It looks like we have many more Republicans voting today than Democrats.
So if you have a lead and we have a bigger vote, that means you're doing very well.
But they have to call a winner.
They should.
And they should call a winner.
unidentified
Yes.
donald j trump
Just stop talking about that.
Go ahead.
Oh, I don't know.
I was honored to get Joe Rogan last night.
Joe Rogan's a big deal.
He's a very respected person.
And I must tell you, Megan was fantastic.
She got up and said some things that were really pretty amazing.
But before that, I just think we ran a good campaign, a good policy.
We want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally.
We want strong borders, and we want people to come in.
We want to be totally inclusive, but they have to come in.
I think that was a big issue.
To me, that was the biggest issue.
steve bannon
The president, he's voting.
He's talking about what's happened over the last couple of weeks and I think very enthusiastic.
He has a substantial lead and leaves open what he's going to do tonight to explain that to the American people.
Pasovic, I know you've got to go down the street to co-host the 12 o'clock.
We toss it to Charlie Kirk.
You're going to be around back for your show.
You'll be with us tonight.
Charlie will be with you guys.
It'll be insane coverage that we're going to do here, wall-to-wall.
Any closing thoughts, particularly on your beloved Commonwealth of Pennsylvania?
Remember, if she doesn't win Pennsylvania, there's no path for her to the White House.
So it's kind of all down to that for her.
Sir?
unidentified
Stay frosty.
Stay focused.
Stay focused.
We had good news out of the gate, but we need to sustain that momentum.
There is a long day and it's a hard day.
You have to do the grubby work.
I know it's not fun reaching out to those family chats.
Reaching out to those sports chats, church chats, whatever it is, and saying, make sure you go vote today.
Make sure you have a plan.
Did you vote today?
And then go and be that vote multiplier.
If you can go and do those things, then we can have a very early—we can have an early night or we can have a long week.
And you heard President Trump just say it there.
And let me tell you something.
Mar-a-Lago right now, they are totally We're really focused on Pennsylvania at a granular level, at an atomic level.
And so we need to do our part to help back up everything that this man has done for us over the last nine years.
And one last thing, Steve, let me say one more thing that I need to say.
That there's one Pennsylvanian that will not be able to vote today.
He wanted to very much.
But that right and that opportunity was taken from him.
And his name is Corey Campatore.
Every single issue that you face in line today, every single minute you have to wait, just remember something, that there's a man, a Pennsylvanian, one of the greatest Pennsylvanians ever to walk the anointed soil of our Commonwealth named Corey Campatore.
Do it for Corey.
steve bannon
Murdered in cold blood, by the way, by a radical that instigated by the left.
Instigated by the Pelosi's of the world, the Rachel Matters.
His blood is on your hands.
Jack, social media, where do people go to get you on Twitter today?
unidentified
Yeah, we'll be up everywhere.
AtJackSoBig, ThatTruthSocial, Getter, all the rest of it.
And then we've got the show, of course.
Thank you, brother.
steve bannon
Sam Faddis.
Yeah, two to three.
We're tossing to Charlie Kirk next, top of the hour.
Poso's back at two.
We're back at five.
Then all night long, into tomorrow, however long it takes.
A couple of three days if it does.
Hopefully it's over earlier.
Sam Faddis, is it going to be over earlier?
Are we representing in Pennsylvania, sir?
sam faddis
Yeah, without question, Steve.
Look, I think the basic issue going into the...
Election Day voting was, did we cannibalize our vote?
Because we know that the mail-in vote was running—was extraordinarily positive for our side.
The answer is we did not cannibalize the vote.
The turnout is off the charts.
I mean, I'm sitting here on and off the phone and talking to people all over the state, and I just got off the street myself.
I mean, I went down to my little precinct.
There may be a thousand voters in my precinct.
Forget about the mail-in vote.
There were 305 people had voted in person by 9 a.m.
There were another 100 people went through during the time I was at the polls.
You'll be looking at close to 100% participation.
Down in Hamburg, near Allentown, we got two-hour wait lines to get in to vote.
Bradford County, off the charts.
Northumberland County.
All across the state, everywhere.
Erie.
I mean, it's just rolling in here.
Nobody has ever seen numbers like this.
Nobody's ever seen participation like this.
steve bannon
Okay, where do they go on social media to keep up with you today?
Website, all of it, Sam?
sam faddis
Yeah, easiest place is to go to And Magazine, andmagazine.substack.com.
But we're also on Twitter, RealSamFaddis.
That'll get you everywhere.
steve bannon

We've got Charlie next.
We're coming back.

Give me your closing observation, sir.
unidentified
So I just got off the phone with Virginia 7, Steve.
Can they hear me?
Yeah?
Can you hear me, Steve?
steve bannon
Hey, you're good.
Go ahead and rip.
Let it rip.
unidentified
I just got off the phone with my friend who's running the race in Virginia 7.
It's very high turnout.
Could be good, could be bad.
So that's just the reality of it.
They spent the morning in Prince William County that's on the eastern side.
It's left-leaning sort of towards that deep state area like you spoke about.
They're working these commuters.
They're working lines.
Lots of positive feedback.
They feel good about it.
It's going to be incredibly tight either which way.
So we cannot be complacent.
Virginia 7, key bellwether to get in there.
steve bannon
Everybody in the country, you've got to get out.
Little issues maybe in Nevada.
You've got to get out and take everybody with you.
