At just 34 years old, Mamdani becomes the youngest mayor in more than a century and the first Muslim and South Asian New Yorker to hold the office.
She's also the first Queen's residency mayor, as hard as it is to believe.
Mamdani promised bold policies on affordability, safety, and transit, including taxing the wealthy to fund programs like universal child care while striking a note of unity in a deeply divided city.

I, Zoran Kwame Mamdani, I, Zahran Kwame Mamdani, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States, that I will support the Constitution of the United States,
the Constitution of the State of New York, the Constitution of the State of New York, and the Charter of the City of New York, and the Charter of the City of New York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the Office of the Mayor of the City of New York, of the Office of the Mayor of the City of New York, according to the best of my ability, according to the best of my ability.
So help me, God.
zohran mamdani
So help me, God.
alexandria ocasio-cortez
Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city.
He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century.
And he will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations.
But most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us.
zohran mamdani
For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.
Many of these people have been betrayed by the established order.
But in our administration, their needs will be met.
Their hopes and dreams and interests will be reflected transparently in government.
They will shape our future.
And if for too long these communities have existed as distinct from one another, we will draw this city closer together.
We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
If our campaign demonstrated that the people of New York yearn for solidarity, then let this government foster it.
Because no matter what you eat, how you pray, or where you come from, the words that most define us are the two we all share: New Yorkers.
gloria pazmino
He signed these executive orders that you mentioned at the beginning, Sarah, directing this new administration to focus on housing.
He signed three executive orders yesterday, creating two task forces, directing the city to look for city-owned land, to build housing, and to figure out ways to speed up construction.
He also reinstated the mayor's Office of Tenant Protections.
He also tried to undo, or in fact, signed executive orders to undo some of the Adams executive orders that were put into place towards the end of his term.
So, Mambani getting right to work.
zohran mamdani
I stand alongside over one million New Yorkers who voted for this day nearly two months ago.
And I stand just as resolutely alongside those who did not.
I know there are some who view this administration with distrust or disdain, or who see politics as permanently broken.
And while only action can change minds, I promise you this.
If you are a New Yorker, I am your mayor.
Regardless of whether we agree, I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn alongside you, and never, not for a second, hide from you.
unidentified
What the fuck are you doing?
Merga!
Gertie Red the Challenger!
Speaker Tebadier!
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
Here's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
MAGA Media.
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
steve bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
unidentified
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
It's Friday, 2 January, the year of our Lord, 2025.
I know a great, or excuse me, 2026.
Boy, I practiced that all morning and I blew it.
I knew that, folks, I can already tell from my phone blowing up, you're very excited about the Mamdani inauguration and his speech.
Of course, it's quite obvious.
Articles all weekend, if you really look below the surface, on the Muslims taking over New York City.
New York City has fallen.
He did have a party for his 10,000 supporters that came down and faced the freezing cold yesterday in New York.
4,000 had seats, but they had another 10,000, but they didn't have food.
They didn't have access to facilities, bathrooms, et cetera.
And so it wasn't the first day on the job a little discombobulated.
But trust me, that is a radical, radical regime.
We're trying to get Rudy, the mayor, up a little later in the show.
Mike Davis is also going to join us and break down the deposition of Jack Smith as Jack Smith goes through.
He was set to indict President Trump.
He's just set to roll all the way up and through the election.
That's how radical these guys are.
But we want to start with some geopolitics.
And let's start in Persia, with what's happening in Iran.
Of course, for followers of the show, you know, I've been advocating for a long time.
You don't need regime change at the top by going in and bombing.
You don't need to bomb.
You don't need to take out the mullahs.
that the people of Iran, the people of Persia will eventually get tired of them.
And just like they overthrew the Shah back in, what, 1979, 1980, they will eventually overthrow the mullahs.
If you just enforce the sanctions, remember all the discussions we had back in July.
You don't need to go in for the nuclear facilities because the Mossad intelligence were all lies, right?
As we now know from cabinet meetings with the Israeli cabinet that said it wasn't two weeks.
It was a couple of years.
Of course, the United States Navy had to take out the above-ground facilities because the Israelis could not finish what they started.
And now you've got Netanyahu down in Mar-Lago.
He's talking about now they've moved the gold post.
Now it's the ballistic missiles program.
But what has happened naturally with an economy that's crashing, a currency that's crashing as we said it would, if you just enforce the sanctions and let the mullahs try to run the economy as they're running it because they don't know what they're doing, running it by Islamic law and not by the laws of free market economy, the economy will crash and the Persian people will overthrow these guys just like they overthrew the Shah.
Of course, now Netanyahu and Tel Aviv, Levin, and all those guys, now we got to go in for regime change.
Just let the Iranian people, let the Persians deal with their own problem.
The one thing we should do, and we've advocated this for a long time, because as part of the sanctions, you should cut off the illegal oil that they're selling to the Chinese Communist Party.
We would get two birds with one stone there because I think their oil is like, I don't know, 50 or 60% of the oil that goes to the Chinese Communist Party.
And we should cut that off.
I think that's a higher priority of cutting that off than interdicting naval quarantine of oil shipments coming from Venezuela to Cuba.
Todd Woods joins us.
Todd, you've been on this for a long time.
You wrote a book, I think, about this entire situation, MEK, which is quite frankly a controversial resistance group to the Mullahs.
But let's put a pin in that.
We'll come back to MEK in a second.
Just what is the overall picture of the country and the economy?
Because now you've got visuals from all over Persia where people have taken to the streets because they just can't live in this economy.
Can you get us up to date?
Like, what's the basic numbers of how bad things are?
I mean, why now?
How bad has it gotten that they're actually now in the streets and many of those advocating for overthrow of the mullahs?
And of course, now they're shooting into crowds.
And remember, the shooting into crowds on a mass basis is what brought down the Shah of Iran back in 1979.
Todd Wood, your thoughts.
l todd wood
Well, thanks for having me on, Steve.
What your audience needs to know is that this is an oligarchy that is raping the country.
This is a very mineral-rich country.
As you know, as you've said, the Persian people have a long and proud history.
But the government has been, the IRGC in particular, have been just essentially raping the country.
This is a country where half the people don't have an adequate supply of fresh water.
People can't farm.
They can't support their families.
The economy has collapsed.
Inflation is running between 30 and 40% a year.
The currency has collapsed over 80%.
Their debt in an oil-rich country is approaching 50% of their GDP.
And the people are just not being served where they can function.
So they have no future.
And the youth of the country, especially, have nothing to lose.
So they are rising up as they have over and over over the last few decades.
And what's important is a lot of these youth are women and they're fearless.
And a lot of them are being killed.
And they just keep coming in waves against the regime.
It's quite fascinating if you actually know what's going on in the country.
But I agree with you.
We don't need a war.
We need to support the people on the ground to remove the regime.
The Iranian people are well capable of doing that themselves.
steve bannon
When you say support the people, I mean, America, we got enough problems.
We got problems all over here.
Look, we've got the Muslims have taken over New York City, right?
They're laughing in your face.
They're laughing in your face in Minnesota.
We're going to have a Lynn Dell here in a second.
The way they even got the rigged elections up there.
We're going to Texas this week, this coming Friday.
And I'll talk more about that later with this Islamic takeover of Texas, the beginning stages of it.
We got enough problems here.
You talk about 50% of debt.
Hell, we're over 100% of debt.
So I understand that they're in a dire situation.
But when you say support, this is the problem.
You got now Bibi and Tel Aviv Levin, right?
You got this entire crowd saying, oh, yeah, now let nature take its course.
We have basic sanctions on the regime.
The biggest sanction, correct me if I'm wrong, we're still not stopping the oil supply.
In the oil they're selling to the CCP, illegal, illegitimate.
There should be no way that oil is going out because that's sanctioned and specifically sanctioned to go to the CCP, which they think the CCP signed a 40-year deal from.
Isn't that a legitimate target to stop the oil from being monetized with the Chinese Communist Party?
l todd wood
I completely agree.
Yes, that is a huge, I guess, influx of currency into the regime, and it needs to be shut off.
That's a no-brainer.
My only point is, at least from the bully pulpit standpoint, just support the Iranian people.
These are kids coming out.
Last round in 2019, they shot 1,500 of them.
I mean, they put girls in cages and put them in prison and let them rot.
I'm not joking.
I mean, it's horrible what this regime has done over four decades to the Iranian people.
steve bannon
Yeah, but if you're going around, look, I can pick 50 regimes throughout the world.
If we're going to do that, you're back to being the world's policeman.
Yes, it's horrible, but revolutions are horrible.
I mean, if you're going to overthrow it, it's their responsibility.
If it looks like we have any CIA involvement, Mossad involvement, that's going to just hunker down the moolahs.
Anyway, hang on, we're going to hold you through the break.
We'll talk about MEK, all of it, but it's a very tenuous situation.
The president has come out with a tweet overnight in the early morning that we're locked and loaded to support these folks.
I understand the president's overall strategic goals here.
Anyway, let's take a short commercial break.
It's the first workday back in 2026.
Back in a moment.

Okay, welcome back.
You've had a dog's breakfast of various resistance groups to the Moolah's, even from when they took over.
You've still got monarchists, right?
You've got the Shah's son.
And remember, he showed up during the summer because we kind of mocked him when he showed up in London and he had a passion thing.
I'm prepared to go back, you know, when there was all talk of regime change, when the Mossad and Netanyahu was trying to force President Trump to decapitate the regime.
They'd already done a decapitation run when they did the initial bombing.
And he was in London and he stood up and some guy said, Hey, and the audience said, Hey, are you prepared to go to Iran like immediately to take over the government, if called upon?
He says, Well, you know, I've got a very packed social schedule in England over the summer, but maybe by October I could free up.
I mean, it's not serious.
MEK, and they've got, you know, they have issues themselves, and you have other resistance groups.
How much of this is indigenous to the Iranian people?
And how much?
Because the more the West gets involved, right, the more the MULA is going to dig in and say, this is just the CIA.
This is just the, you know, the great Satan, the United States, and their little partner in Israel trying to overthrow a dedicated Islamic regime.
Kind of what we're doing in New York City today, right?
We got an Islamic regime in New York City, but here the MULA is going to say it's just the evil West trying to overthrow us.
So how much of this is indigenous and real?
And how much do you think is stirred up by foreign powers, sir?
l todd wood
Steve, I'll tell you, I spent a lot of time with the resistance units, and over 130,000 of them have been executed over the last three or four years.
So I think that's pretty indigenous.
What I'm saying, I'm not calling for military action.
We don't need a war.
What we need is the bully pulpit, just like supporting the Christians in Lebanon.
I've spent time with a lot of these resistance fighters, and many of them are Christian in Iran.
There's a huge Christian movement blossoming in Iran.
And we need the bully pulpit to come in and say we support the people of Iran to fix their own government.
I'm not talking about military action, but what we can do is stop the info op against any resistance that organizes in Iran to take down the government.
Western media, the State Department has been against the resistance movements.
We saw that with no support in the past.
And my only point is we have it on the ground there.
Why not let them do what they want to do and stop all the info op against them all over the world, especially in the UK?
steve bannon
Well, you say that people aren't people teasing right now that Samantha Powers and Hillary Clinton must somehow have gotten invited to the Mar-a-Lago New Year's Eve celebration because the president coming out today saying, hey, we're locked and loaded.
Isn't that straight from the Samantha Powers and Hillary Clinton playbook?
I mean, you say we say the State Department.
Why don't you agree with that?
l todd wood
We don't need a war.
We don't need American forces on the ground.
That's my whole point.
There is a organized resistance, and there are several of them.
It's not just the MEK.
There are others, but we don't need a war.
American forces on the ground.
American aircraft, you know, we send American aircraft and think it's easy and nothing's going to be harmed or hurt.
Look, people get shot down.
I was an Air Force pilot.
I mean, it's a dangerous mission, and there's a high threat level over there.
And even when you send in, you know, stealth B-2s, there's a big chance they can be shot down and people killed and technology stolen and all the rest.
So there's huge risk to this.
And I'm saying we don't need American forces involved.
Just let's use what's on the ground already in whatever way we want to.
I'm not saying military, you know, vigilante force or paramilitary.
I'm saying just support them in the info op to start with.
steve bannon
But the their natural incompetence because they're trying to run this economy by Islamic law, their natural incompetence coupled with these sanctions that we've had on, and we don't we haven't even used all the sanctions we can get because we still have oil, which we're allowing to be monetized.
Is that what's driving the collapse of this economy?
And is that what's driving people out into the streets to say that we've had enough of the mulas?
l todd wood
Yes.
I mean, like I said, the people, the youth have no future.
They have nothing to lose by coming out and demonstrating at the risk of death.
I mean, this is what they do every day, and they're doing it right now.
I think close to 10 or a dozen have been killed already on the streets.
This is going to get worse before it gets better.
And my hope is the Iranian people can take back their country.
The IRCG is the oligarchy that's controlling most of the businesses.
It's controlling the water.
I mean, story after story of farmers having their water diverted to some IRGC plant and their whole business collapses.
It's creating, as you see in the West, actually, at earlier stages, you've got a situation in Iran where the youth just have no future and they have nothing to lose and they're in the streets and they're getting violent.
And that's going to continue.
And maybe it has to.
As you say, revolutions are ugly.
steve bannon
This reminds me of 1970, because we got deployed over there as soon as the American hostages were taken, the State Department, guys, but it reminds me of 79.
Although obviously there were radical Islamic groups underneath that to overthrow the Shah, a lot of this did come back when the middle class and others who were not, you know, didn't want Islamic takeover.
When the economy collapsed, they took to the streets too.
And as soon as the Shah, they had that famous where they opened up fire on that square where protesters were.
Is this reminiscent of how the Shah was actually overthrown?
l todd wood
Yeah.
And in fact, a lot of the resistance units today in the street were formed during the Shah's regime.
And they actually thought they would have some kind of democracy or say in their own government.
And then the mullahs just took over and started repressing the resistance units.
So there's a history to this.
And the people just want to be, I mean, as you said, the Persian culture is one of innovation and thousands of years of science and art.
And let's let them become what they should be, in my opinion.
steve bannon
Todd, where do people go?
You've got a book out on this.
Your sites cover this closely.
Where do people go?
l todd wood
The book is called Paying the Price, The Untold Story of the Iranian Resistance.
I spent a lot of time with them in Paris and in Albania in their camps.
I was the first journalist in their camp.
If you want to know about this resistance movement, check it out.
Go to CDM.press, put us in your daily scan.
We're global news without the globalists spin.
We have people all over the world and CDM underscore press.
And I'm at RealLtodwood on X. Thank you very much for having me on, Steve.
steve bannon
Appreciate it.
You've been covering, you're probably the only guys covering.
You had this brutal story about the skin grafts.
Can you just get us up to date on the ACID, the woman that was the victim of the ACID attack in Savannah?
I was reading your stories over New Year's about that.
Can you just get us up to date on that?
l todd wood
Yeah, she had her first skin graft, you know, over 50% of her body horribly burned.
I mean, she's got a long road to hoe, as they say, to recover.
There's no information out of the Savannah government.
I still think this was a targeted attack.
And, you know, Savannah crime is an issue that needs to be focused on.
We're going to continue to raise it at the Georgia record because it's important.
I'm from there.
I grew up there.
It's important to me.
And it's just as bad as any other city.
And it's getting worse with a lot of the migrant and gang crime.
And it needs to be stopped.
And we're going to stay on it.
steve bannon
And the authorities there haven't really lifted a finger on this, correct?
l todd wood
Yeah, well, no.
I mean, there's been, they don't have a suspect.
The first picture they put out was not real.
I mean, this woman was leaving a Christian event.
She was, you know, the guy was waiting for her in the bushes.
He had a highly caustic chemical.
Where did he get that?
You know, everything doesn't add up to the story that this was just some random attack.
I don't think it was.
And I think that there is a big problem in Savannah.
It's a big port city, as we've talked about.
A lot of stuff flows into there.
It's very important strategically and national security-wise for the United States.
The nuclear plant is right there, big military presence.
And, you know, I think the Georgia government is just covering this up and not really going after what's actually going on.
And we're going to go into that too.
We've been on Georgia, you know, corruption in government for some time, and it's one of our focuses going forward.
We've been really effective down there, and we want to keep going.
steve bannon
Todd Woods, thank you very much.
Appreciate you.
l todd wood
Thanks, Steve.
Yeah, man.
steve bannon
Let's play.
Can we play the clip?
I want to play.
We got a clip from Scott Pressler.
So I want to play the clip.
I've got Mike Lindell, but I'm going to run up against the break.
So let me play.
How long is the clip?
Oh, it's 30 seconds.
Let's play the clip and I'll bring in Mike Lindell to start it.
We'll finish after the break.
Let's go ahead and hit it.
scott presler
Did you know that in 2008, 500,000 voters, or nearly 19% of all voters in Minnesota, registered on election day?
And did you know that former Senator Al Franken was elected by 312 votes?
So I'm not alleging anything on the program, but what I am saying is that this vouching system, which clearly opens the door for potential fraud, could swing statewide elections.
steve bannon
Mike Lindell, please explain.
We got a minute here.
I'm going to hold you.
Please explain what is a vouching system.
What in the hell is going on in Minnesota?
mike lindell
Yeah, well, they were cheating in Minnesota before cheating was popular, everybody.
We have the earliest voting.
And what it is, it's a vouching system.
You just bring, you can bring up to eight people.
Yep, they're a resident.
They're a resident.
Yep, they're a resident.
I don't know them, but I might believe they're a resident.
And it's disgusting, Steve.
Up to eight people.
Remember, Governor Waltz, he said he brought everybody in.
All the illegals said they could all have driver's license, which means they could also vote.
So now you just got, you didn't even need that before.
By the way, they don't even want to look at your license.
They just say this vouching system.
And who says that they've only vouched for eight?
It's disgusting.
It all goes back to this goes back like you heard it there all the way back to Al Franken, but it's been in Minnesota when I started investigating the corruption, corruption, corruption.
And we come back from the break.
I'll tell you about the Somalians, but they didn't 2020.
steve bannon
Hang on for one second.
We're going to go back to Minnesota and to Mike Lindell.
Short break.
back in a moment.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Let me just reiterate: we've been talking about this a long time, the situation in Persia.
And with appropriate, so these guys don't know what they're doing.
They're going to run it into the ground, right?
They have run it into the ground.
It's a great and ancient civilization.
Great and ancient civilization pre-Islam.
Although it was always an enemy of the West, but hey, the Romans and the Greeks.
It will collapse.
It will collapse.
What you don't need, and this is what I was so adamant about, and Tucker and others about this phony intelligence that got us all over top of bombing these people and trying to do a decapitation.
If you do a decapitation naturally, 50% of the country at least or more is going to come to the defense because they're nationalists.
They're going to come to the defense of the Mulas because they're going to say, hey, you're attacking our country.
Let it collapse.
Keep your sanctions on.
And like I say, once again, cut off the oil.
Don't let them monetize the oil to the Chinese Communist Party, who are one of their partners.
The strategic relationship between the Persian, particularly the Persian military and the Chinese Communist Party goes back many, many, many decades and it's quite deep.
That was their foothold to get into the Middle East.
And, you know, all this people to all the Qatar, Beijing, were the biggest hammers on Beijing.
They got in Qatar.
But there was no deep and direct relationship was coming through the Persians and then to other Gulf emirates, maybe even, dare I say it, the Saudis cutting a long-term deal with the CCP, UAE trying to cut a long-term deal with the CCP, our allies, quote unquote.
So the last thing you need to do is to get involved here.
Just let nature take its course.
It will collapse.
Because I think we got enough problems right now.
I think we got to be thinking about, hey, maybe we should restore the sovereignty of the United States of America.
What you're seeing in Minneapolis is out of control.
It's all throughout the country.
What you're seeing in New York, New York is only going to get worse.
And look, OMB and Treasury are all over these things.
They say the Doge guys, you know, all the tech bros, oh, Doge, Doge did not find one penny of this.
Not one penny.
And I know that from senior officials in the Treasury Department and OMB, which have adults running them.
So we have to be serious about this now.
It's not, it's playtime is over.
So Mike Lindell, this has been known for a while, right?
About the voting system.
unidentified
Absolutely.
steve bannon
Do the people in Minnesota agree with it?
Well, no, do the people of Minnesota agree with it?
Now, let me be, let me be blunt.
I know you're running.
It's great.
And you're a leader, but the people of Minnesota, this is on them.
They got to step up.
And not just MACA.
You know, all the farm labor party and all these people, if you believe this is not a democracy, this is a racket.
And they need to step up.
And you got walls, that liver lip walls blown around.
Things have to happen.
And Ellison, he's corrupt up to his neck now.
I understand that there's surging task force in there of prosecutors and FBI and others.
And look, President Trump and the team are going to do what they can do.
I know you're going to do what they can do.
But this goes back to the people in Minnesota.
Walk me, just walk me through the system today.
You can just have these Somalians walk in and vouch for people and they got all these phony driver's license that the Minnesota Assembly has approved.
This is back on the people in Minnesota.
Right?
This is a disaster and it's an embarrassment.
Go ahead, sir.
mike lindell
Yeah, and it's on the it's on the politicians, the Republicans too, and the, and, and on our media in Minnesota.
And you guys, in the month before, the, in Minnesota, you could vote 45 days early.
We started this in this country.
And back in 2020, uh, James O'Keefe came to Minnesota, Project Veritas, and him and I, all the Somalians then, we had videos and everything of these ballot, you know, ballot harvesting.
You vouch for someone, all the cheating going on.
We turned it in back then to the administration and said, we're trying to sound the alarm.
We're trying to sound the alarm here in Minnesota.
But what happened is the media here, the Starn Tribune and this media outlets here, our local media, just suppressed it.
I mean, it's almost like they're in, which we all know that it's not just the fake meet, it's the media that doesn't talk about these things.
And Steve, that's why I ran for governor.
I mean, nothing's been, nothing gets done.
It's like, okay, same old, same old, oh, we bring up some fraud.
They were bringing up the Somalian fraud, the Star and Tribune, actually in 2000, the year 2000, everybody, this started.
All the way back then, nothing's been done.
Right now, Steve, you know, and I'm going to put a plug in here over the next month.
I'm doing, we're going to be doing governor, governor debates almost every day in the month of January that I'm going to be involved in with all these other governor candidates.
And I'll tell you, what am I doing?
Right now, this whole weekend, I'm meeting with farmers, both green and the beef farmers, and finding out, you know, all these different areas that why haven't they been involved?
I think they're all realizing now in Minnesota is waking up the people going, hey, our politics, our corrupt, corrupt elections and our corrupt politicians.
This is what it's led for.
You better get out and you better vote and you better change this.
You need a different input to get a different output.
And we can look at all the corruption.
I look at this as the biggest blessing, one of the biggest blessings this country's ever seen, because it's not just Minnesota.
And you're going to all find this out.
I'm hearing from all over the country right now, these last two weeks.
As this opens it up and keeps opening it up, we can't let them cover this up and shut it down or we're going to lose our country.
This is just, it's what's going on in Minnesota is a takeover, Steve.
You know that.
steve bannon
Yeah, I know, but here's, but here's how I feel good.
I can go to sleep at night and feel good because the speaker of the house, the Republican female, I don't know her name, running for against you for governor.
Lisa, Lisa Damon, Tom.
mike lindell
Lisa Damon.
steve bannon
Lisa and Tom Emmer are at the forefront.
I mean, they're banging the drum and they're doing this and they're doing that and they're going to find this and they're going to find that.
These two phonies have done as much to protect them.
Emmer started the Somalia caucus in the House of Representatives to put forward the interest of the Somalians.
Now he's the biggest, you know, he's a hockey player.
He's going to go in and high stick them, right?
He's looking for penalties.
And he got the Speaker of the House.
She's like Elliot Ness right now.
This is the problem.
You got these phony Republicans that have either just gone along with it or actually behind the scenes pushed it, right?
So how are you going to clean that rat's nest out?
This is just not progressive Democrats.
This is the whole, this is my point.
This is back on the citizens of Minnesota.
They got to step up to the plate here.
mike lindell
Well, I think it's all going to be revealed, Steve.
I mean, some of them might have been, you know, not knowing what they were stepping into.
Let's give, let's just say that they, for instance, you know, they didn't know what this was going to manifest to and they made some bad decisions back in 2014 and 15 and back in those days.
But I'll tell you one that's very recent.
And that's last January in Minnesota or February when our local news station broke the news about all these Somalians and these daycares and all this.
That was broke back then.
And that Lisa Damon, you know, she just came out and said, hey, look at these.
Waltz never did anything.
And Waltz didn't do this and the Democrats didn't do that.
Well, you guys, what did you do?
You should have been shouting from the top of your lungs.
It shouldn't have to wait all the way till now for an independent reporter to get to get in there and make this go viral.
We've got to keep spreading the word, everybody, of these good things and the bad things happening.
And then, you know, to see to see, you know, this is another thing of running.
They say, well, what does Mike Lindell know about politics?
You guys, I've been immersed in it for five years.
I don't want to be a politician.
I want to be a leader and lead out of these things.
You take things apart like our great president say, let's solve this, solve this, solve this, because it's so horizontal and vertical.
All these problems, it's like, where does that, where does evil begin and where does it end?
It's unbelievable.
And, and, yes, Steve, there's a lot of, and people, I don't want everybody to look at it that we can't get it done, that it's overwhelming.
You know, we're so far ahead of this, we're five years ahead of it, especially with the election fraud and all these things.
And I really believe we can get a turnaround and get these things solved and not take decades.
It has to happen now.
It has to happen fast.
People need to go to prison.
You had Waltz come out with a thing going, they want to put me in prison, Mike Lindell and Elon Musk.
Well, if you did something, which we think you did, yeah, anyone involved in this, prison, prison, prison, and deport, deport, deport.
steve bannon
People should understand that Waltz is now sending out emails and sending out mailers to his supporters and independents that raising money against Mike Lindell.
This is how serious he takes the Mike Lindell thing.
He's saying, Mike Lindell is going to put me in prison.
I need your money to stop Mike Lindell from putting me in prison.
I would say that's a guy that's a little concerned, don't you think, sir?
mike lindell
He's very worried.
When he even heard rumors I was running two months ago, he said he sent out big flyers and stuff and mailers and said, are we going to let Donald Trump and Mike Lindell come into our state and ruin our family values?
I mean, you can't make this up, everybody.
And it's, he very much fears change and fears him being put in prison is what I'm thinking.
You know, he does not want me in there.
And we're going to change all that.
steve bannon
And I'll put a little bit of a- Would you prosecute as governor?
As governor, I realize there's federal charges, but as governor, would you have your attorney general begin the process of prosecuting Keith Ellison, the Muslim, the radical Muslim?
That's the attorney general that looked the other way on all the Samaya stuff.
In fact, exacerbated it.
And Ellison and we'll throw in the lieutenant governor that walks around in a hijib.
Now, she cosplays being a Muslim woman.
That's a great collection.
You got you got Waltz, who's a freaking criminal.
You got a lieutenant governor who I think is Catholic.
Her name's Flynn again.
She's a Mick like I am.
She's walking around in her hijib, cosplaying a Muslim woman.
And you've got Keith Ellison.
I mean, you've got three beauties there as head of the Minnesota government.
I mean, what in the hell is going on in Minnesota?
How can people put these people in office, sir?
mike lindell
Well, it all starts with criminals stolen elections.
You think if they steal money from daycares and everything else, you think they won't steal your elections?
I mean, Minnesota was the, they were stealing elections before elections were popular.
We've been blue since 1972, everybody.
Crazy things have happened in our elections, but and that's all going to get exposed.
And absolutely, prosecute, prosecute, prosecute.
And I'll tell you, everybody, I'll be the most transparent governor you ever seen.
The whole public's going to know every day, hey, look what we just found.
You know, this person's going to go to prison.
This is going to go to prison.
This one's going to prison.
These people are getting deported.
I mean, this has to be cleaned up.
And then I have great solutions to put in place when it comes to these welfare programs and all this.
That you guys can check out mikelindalegov.com and help out there too, by the way.
We need help right now.
We're coming in to this next month before these big, the big straw poll on February 3rd.
So, Steve, I'm going to be going every day, listening to the people, getting these problems, getting the solutions.
But the number one problem, obviously, in the public's eye is all the fraud.
These guys, all Keith Ellison, he's been attacking me for a year and a half, everybody, my Lindale Recovery Network, because he doesn't want people getting off addiction and finding Jesus Christ our Savior.
And there's a reason.
Now, I think, Steve, I think they were afraid I was going to run in the first place.
Why all these attacks came?
Not just sounding the alarm about the elections.
steve bannon
100%.
Okay, where do people go?
One more time.

steve bannon
Mike Lindell, go with God.
We look forward to the debates, the governor's debates, the gubernatorial debates for the Republican nomination.
Mike Lindell, thank you for joining us this morning.
Appreciate you.
mike lindell
Thanks, Stephen.
steve bannon
I tell you, the Persians are going to take care of Persia.
The Persian people are going to step up.
They're going to take care of business over there.
We got business to take care of here.
Including the Viceroy is going to join us.
Jack Smith got deposed last week.
The conservative treehouse, Sundance, does a great analysis about the dystopian future you have if the law affair of Jack Smith is implemented.
Next.
jack smith
For nearly three decades, I've been a career prosecutor.
I've served during both Republican and Democratic administrations, and I've been guided by those principles in every role I've held.
I continued to honor those principles when I was appointed to serve as special counsel in November of 2022.
The decision to bring charges against President Trump was mine, but the basis for those charges rests entirely with President Trump and his actions, as alleged in the indictments returned by grand juries in two different districts.
Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power.
Our investigation also developed powerful evidence that showed that President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January of 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a ballroom and a bathroom.
He then repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents.
I remain grateful for the counsel, judgment, and advice of my team as I executed my responsibilities.
I am both saddened and angered that President Trump has sought revenge against career prosecutors, FBI agents, and support staff simply for doing their jobs and for having worked on those cases.
These dedicated public servants are the best of us, and they have been wrongly vilified and improperly dismissed from their jobs.
I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump's political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.
We took our actions based on the facts and the law, the very lessons I learned early in my career as a prosecutor.
We followed Justice Department policies and observed legal requirements.
The timing and speed of our work reflects the strength of the evidence and our confidence that we would have secured convictions at trial.
If asked whether to prosecute a former president based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Republican or a Democrat.
Recent narratives about my team's work are false and misleading, including stories about our collection of toll records.
Toll records were sought for historical telephone routing information collected after calls had taken place, identifying the incoming and outgoing call numbers, the time of the calls, and their duration.
Toll records do not include the content of calls.
Those records were lawfully subpoenaed and were relevant to complete a comprehensive investigation.
January 6th was an attack on the structure of our democracy in which over 140 heroic law enforcement officers were assaulted.
Over 160 individuals later pled guilty to assaulting police that day.
Exploiting that violence, President Trump and his associates tried to call members of Congress in furtherance of their criminal scheme, urging them to further delay certification of the 2020 election.
I did not choose those members.
President Trump did.
I hope that my testimony today serves to correct these mischaracterizations about my work.
And to that end, I welcome your questions.
steve bannon
Okay, the Viceroy joins us.
I remember the Viceroy came to prominence on that raid, as you remember, back several years ago, Mike Davis.
This goes on and on and on.
I think there's a 240-page deposition.
We're going to make sure everybody can read that over the weekend because I think people need to read that.
But this guy gets an answer question.
This is as scary as it gets.
Sundance over at Conservative Treehouse, and Grayson Mo, if you can blow that out, I've got it up on Getter.
I think lays out the case that this is really, you're really seeing lawfare at work here, sir.
mike davis
Yeah, Jack Smith's testimony proves that Joe Biden and Merrick Garland picked the right prosecutor to try to take out President Trump.
This guy is a rabid left-wing ideologue.
This is the same Jack Smith who brought bogus charges against former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, got him convicted of bogus charges, and those charges were overturned several years later by the Supreme Court eight to nothing.
It would have been nine to nothing, but Justice Scalia passed away, but the damage was done.
Jack Smith took out former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell as a potential presidential or vice presidential candidate.
They did the same thing here with President Trump.
When they heard that President Trump was thinking about running for election again in 2024, that's where they sent in Jack Smith.
They brought him back from The Hague, where he was banished after getting overturned eight to nothing.
Let me just pause.
I clerked on the Supreme Court.
It is very hard to get reversed by the Supreme Court on a criminal case.
It is almost impossible for that to happen unanimously.
But Jack Smith found the way.
He should have been done.
He should have stayed in The Hague and his legal career should have been over.
But he was the perfect scud missile for Joe Biden.
steve bannon
But hang on, but hang on, but hang on.
But this is why they sent him, let's get the, that's part of it.
But they sent him to The Hague because they had to go after these guys and they wanted a guy that wouldn't follow any rules.
His reign of terror at The Hague is legendary.
They sent him over there because he has no morals, no ethics, right?
I mean, that's why he went there.
And according to them, right, the globalists, he did a good job for him because he said, you know, he did all the stuff at The Hague that is now getting reversed over there, sir.
unidentified
Yeah.
mike davis
I mean, this guy is a partisan scud missile that Democrats launch at Republican presidential contenders to try to take them out.
And they were almost successful with President Trump.
Again, we've been saying this on your show for three and a half years.
It is not espionage for a president to have his presidential records.
That is allowed by the Presidential Records Act.
Any document created or received by the president or his staff is a presidential record.
And it does not matter whether it's classified or not.
There are many presidential records, a great many that are classified.
And this is why former presidents have security clearances and skips.
And they have staff that has security clearances and they have 24-7, 365 secret service protection.
Jack Smith says that these documents were in a ballroom.
They were locked.
They were locked in Mar-a-Lago with 24-7 365 secret service protection.
And President Trump is allowed to have these records.
steve bannon
Hey, hang on for one second.
I'm going to hold you through the break.
Got a lot more to talk about.
Mike Davis, the Viceroy, joins us on the first workday back in 2026.
