00:00:00.000It comes as Texans began casting their ballots yesterday for the start of early voting.
00:00:06.180Some areas of the state saw record turnout, such as nearly 80,000 people casting a ballot in Dallas
00:00:12.520County, an increase of nearly 20,000 from the first day of voting in 2024. In El Paso, more
00:00:20.620than 20,000 people voted early. That's 90 percent more than at the same point in the 2022 midterm
00:00:28.600election. I think a lot of Republicans will look back at what could have been and what could have
00:00:34.560been after 2024 was you were forging a new formidable coalition, Joe, if you were a Republican
00:00:41.940that would have broken the back of the Democratic Party. If you can convert working class black0.66
00:00:48.420voters, Hispanic voters, Asian voters, along with the white voters you've already brought over,0.92
00:00:52.860there is no path for Democrats to find 270 electoral votes.
00:00:57.400There is no path for Democrats to find 51 Senate seats.
00:01:00.460They're going to be on their heels in the House.
00:01:03.560And Trump frittering that away, I think, will be one of the most significant stories of our lifetime
00:01:11.980in terms of what could have been, because those trends were looking more and more dire for the Republicans
00:01:18.020until the Hispanic vote swung over in 24.
00:01:20.340And then to give that away like they did entirely on their own is such an indictment of the Trump project and such an indictment of the folks around him who were obviously just not focused on trying to sustain his support because they were never in it for the party or for the movement.
00:01:38.340You know, it's all about the momentary win for Trump.
00:01:41.740But boy, is it a incredible what if to have been able to convert a lot of those folks in the Rio Grande Valley, you know, generational Democrats.
00:01:51.280And then to just give them back two years later, I think we will look back on 20 years from now, 30 years from now.
00:01:58.000It's a seminal moment in American politics.
00:02:01.220Tuesday, 20 October, the year of our Lord, 2026, a lot there.
00:02:06.920and we're going to discuss that over the next couple of days, obviously.
00:02:10.940Right now we're focused on, you can't talk about what if and what happened.
00:02:14.680You've got to focus on victory because we can't go in reverse,
00:02:18.740and there's a possibility we could go in reverse.
00:10:02.240What we now need to do as Republicans is the same thing they're doing in Nevada and Ohio and Florida, which is just gain Republican votes every single day.
00:10:10.380I want to say, and we've probably spent by the end of the time, we'll probably have spent half the year in Texas starting in January.
00:10:17.260I just want the audience to understand the intensity out here of the grassroots, the intensity of the canvassing, the door knocking.
00:10:25.020Somebody told me the other day, gave me a statistic, 12 or 15 million doors may be knocked on Texas by the Republicans before this over.
00:10:33.140You do this for a living and you're a Texan.
00:10:36.160Talk to me about that, basically the outpouring of people going door to door, of talking to people, of making their list of 10.
00:10:43.940People should know it's pretty intense, is it not?
00:10:46.520It is. And I do think that what we've seen is that three months ago, Republicans had a 17 point gap in energy.
00:10:54.840OK, so 17 percent of the Republicans were less than Democrats were disengaged in the electoral process just in the last week.
00:11:03.560And I think this has happened with all of the work that so many people have done.
00:11:06.420And when you have a conversation and that ripples on and ripples on and ripples on, we've seen that the Republican energy is either matching in the polling or just two or three points under.
00:11:15.200So we've finally gotten to a point to where we've gotten more of our friends engaged, and now we have to get to a point to where we say, now let's go get a few more unengaged people and drag them to the polls.
00:11:26.040It is true, though, that you're going to see, I believe, well over 12 million doors knocked by Republicans in the state of Texas to low propensity, mid propensity, high propensity, swing voters trying to move them over.
00:14:01.280Steve, I was going to share just one very quick story.
00:14:03.300There's a guy in my life who I've known here for a while because he moved to Texas from New York to escape the tyranny of COVID that he was under.
00:14:10.220If you asked him at any point in the last six years why he's in Texas, it would be because he was trying to move to a free state.
00:14:16.880But two years ago, when I asked him if he had voted in any election since he had moved here, the answer was no.
00:14:23.040and I would not have naturally thought that this guy was not participating in the electoral process
00:14:29.580and thank God I talked to him a couple months before 2024 because we had time to make sure
00:14:34.160he was registered to vote and actually got out to the polls him and his wife. Hang on I want to
00:14:37.860finish this story but I want to finish it on the other side we got a commercial break hang on Luke
00:14:41.320Macias a guy from New York about the pandemic now in the free state of Texas short break.
00:14:53.040We're a couple of months out, but the midterms are fast approaching.
00:15:04.960And make no mistake, if the House flips to the Democrats, it's a big deal for our economy.
00:15:12.160That uncertainty is one of the reasons to diversify with gold from Birch Gold Group.
00:15:17.460In the three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the spot price of gold jumped over 12 percent.
00:15:25.040Now, why was that? Because we've taught you here on the show.
00:15:28.820It's a hedge against times of uncertainty.
00:15:32.720If you don't own gold, I would suggest talking to Birch Gold Group, Philip Patrick and the team.
00:15:38.740They'll discuss your goals, explain how precious metals can fit into your savings.
00:15:42.860They can even help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold with no additional money out of your pocket.
00:15:53.660Easiest way to do this is text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898.
00:15:59.500Get a free information kit and get some solid information on gold.
00:16:05.540The midterms will be here before you know it.
00:16:12.860So, Luke, I want to make sure you've got some runway here because this story, I think, is emblematic of the issue we have before us, not simply in Texas, but in Michigan, in Iowa, everywhere.
00:21:22.180OK, so let me let me try to get understand this a couple different ways, because you said you'll sit that line out.
00:21:27.700In other words, you're going to vote and you're going to vote on other races, it sounds like.
00:21:31.000But you may not. You may just leave this one blank.
00:21:33.420So I guess is that what you're saying? Because I know you've lauded James Tallarico's campaign.
00:21:38.120You call him a friend. Right. I know you've worked together. Right.
00:21:40.660You think highly of him. But it sounds like you're not actually going to vote for him.
00:21:46.100I'm skipping the right. There was a young man that warned us about this for the longest time.
00:21:51.400Brian Harrison right there on national TV in the slot in the primetime slot on CNN.
00:21:58.460And the buried lead is at the very beginning. He says, hey, I watch you every night.
00:22:03.560Who watches Aaron Burnett every night? That's not lefty. Sir, Brian Harrison, the floor is yours, sir.
00:22:09.860Unbelievable. This is just more dishonest than fake news from the mainstream liberal media.
00:22:14.940What they're counting on, what CNN is counting on, and there's some reason for them to believe this,
00:22:19.880is that most viewers in America, when you put on the Republican speaker of the Texas House,
00:22:25.240people probably assume that person's a conservative fighter for liberty and freedom in America.
00:22:30.520What they're counting on you not knowing is the absolute truth. And look, when I got done working
00:22:35.060for President Trump in his first term and I got elected to the Texas legislature, nothing could
00:22:38.940have prepared me for the shock of learning what might be the biggest scandal, underreported scandal
00:22:42.820in America, and that's that the GOP-dominated Texas House is actually controlled, lock stock
00:22:48.860and two smoking barrels by radical Democrats, including James Tallarico. That guy, my colleague,
00:22:54.780Dade Phelan, what he didn't tell you and what CNN didn't tell you is that he was the Republican
00:22:58.880Speaker that was elected by the House Democrat Caucus, including James Tallarico. What people
00:23:07.040don't know, for almost 20 years, it's been the House Democrat Caucus that actually elects the
00:23:12.140supposedly Republican Speaker. So that guy, Dade, he is not a conservative fighter. In fact, he was
00:23:17.980the guy that was carrying the water for liberal Democrat policies during his years as a speaker
00:23:23.800of the Texas House. So the fact is the Texas House is controlled by Democrats. Our current speaker
00:23:28.340was elected by Democrats, including by James Tallarico. I'm going to say this one more time.
00:23:32.800James Tallarico has been electing the last couple of Republican speakers of the Texas House. That's
00:23:39.420how corrupt the institution of the Texas House is. And what he's not telling you, I guess he told a
00:23:44.320little bit of truth there at the end. He said, oh, he got his feelings hurt when Ken Paxton was
00:23:48.040campaigning against him in his district. Well, that is true. And I know it's true. How? Well,
00:23:52.940I was with Ken Paxton in Dade Phelan's district in his primary campaigning to defeat him so that
00:23:58.660we could try to get a real Republican in that seat. And what he's also not telling you and
00:24:01.800what CNN didn't tell you is that Dade Phelan, our fake Republican speaker, just like our current
00:24:06.980fake Republican speaker, voted to impeach Ken Paxton. So CNN is counting on people not knowing
00:24:14.020that our Republican speakers are elected by Democrats like James Tallarico and that our
00:24:18.400current speaker and our former speaker, Dade Phelan, actually led the fight to impeach Ken
00:24:23.340Paxson. So it is the surprise to the surprise of absolutely nobody who's been following the real
00:24:29.340inner workings of the corruption of the Texas government that our current or former speakers
00:24:33.380are out there carrying water effectively for James Tallarico. I'm going to say this again,
00:24:37.320if you're not voting for Ken Paxson, that's effectively a vote for James Tallarico and
00:24:41.240the Democrat Socialists of America. You only have two options, either Ken Paxson or James Tallarico
00:24:46.000is going to be the next United States senator from the state of Texas. And the last thing I want is
00:24:49.920Texas's own version of Bernie Sanders representing 30 million patriotic Texans. Okay, you've got
00:24:56.220Karl Rove, Cornyn, Phelan, you've got the entire Republicans. Seems like the established order
00:25:02.000is absolutely apoplectic about Ken Paxson. One, what are we going to do about it? And do you see
00:25:09.040itself manifesting already in the first day of early voting, sir? Well, they're being more
00:25:15.120brazen than usual. My former speaker, my colleague who's leaving the House, maybe he feels a little
00:25:19.660bit liberated and is able to wear his liberalism on his sleeve a little bit more. But this is the
00:25:24.280dirty secret that I'm glad you've been exposing for years. I've been trying my best since I got
00:25:28.460elected four years ago, is that there is an active, large element of people who consider
00:25:32.840themselves Republicans in Texas that have actually been working to undermine the Republican agenda
00:25:37.680and advance the Democrat Party priorities, which is why James Tallarico, again, as we speak right
00:25:43.360now, still holds his positions in House leadership. So if you're a voter, especially if you're in
00:25:48.580Texas, but honestly, this is true, whatever state you're in, you can either go to the ballot box
00:25:53.160and make your voice be heard. You can choose a line in the sand. And if you're in Texas,
00:25:57.320Texas is the line in the sand for liberty in America, or you can stay home. And if you stay
00:26:01.960home, you're giving a vote to the Democrats. That's the same thing basically as casting a
00:26:06.120vote for the Democrats, or you go to the ballot, but you only vote for one or two of the Republicans
00:26:10.560on there and you just skip certain races. Guys, it's a binary choice. You can either elect the
00:26:16.100party that believes in less taxes, more freedom, lower regulations, safe streets, secure borders,
00:26:21.420or you can support the party. And by support the party, just not voting. You're supporting the
00:26:26.300party of the radical socialist Marxist leftist Democrats that want to transgender indoctrinate0.99
00:26:31.540your kids, throw open the entire Southern border for millions of illegal aliens that want higher0.94
00:26:36.020taxes that want dangerous, violent, repeat criminals making our streets safer. That's the0.97
00:26:40.740choice in this election. And maybe you don't like either of the names, but guys, at the end of the
00:26:45.940day, which do you want representing you? Somebody who values the principles that made Texas and
00:26:50.640America great and is proud to call themselves a Republican. And if you don't vote for that person,
00:26:54.740that's effectively the same thing as handing over your ballot to the Democrats, socialists of
00:26:58.780America who are hell bent on destroying not just Texas, but America, and in doing so the future of
00:27:04.420Western civilization. Mistakes could not be higher, Steve. Every Republican has got to get
00:27:08.060off the couch, has got to take five minutes at their lunch break or work, before work, after
00:27:12.420work. The polls are open today. They've got to go vote. Brian, there's three million low
00:27:18.500propensity voters out there in Texas. I know you're going to try to dig them all out. Where
00:27:22.000do people go right now to follow you, sir? Yeah, on X is probably the best place. We post many
00:27:27.240times a day, including lots of truth, the mainstream media or the corrupt Austin
00:27:31.160establishment don't want you to know at brian e harrison on x at brian e harrison on x at brian
00:27:38.300e harrison on x please take 20 seconds go there like follow and share and including i just did a
00:27:43.080whole rebuttal on what speaker feelings said and put the truth out there we will win if texans know
00:27:48.440the truth about how high the stakes are in this election brian harrison warrior thank you so much
00:27:54.660sir look forward to checking back in with you in the next couple days game on in texas game on in
00:28:00.760Michigan, game on in Pennsylvania, game on across the country. Tiffany Justice next in the War Room.
00:28:12.260If you're 65 or already on Medicare, listen up, folks, and grab a pen, maybe even a number two
00:28:20.620pencil. Call 845-WAR-ROOM. That's 845-WAR-ROOM. Call it right now. I'm serious. Call it.
00:28:28.180Now, here's why. The insurance companies and their lackeys in the Washington swamp have built a Medicare system designed to confuse you and rip you off. Rising premiums, denied claims, fine print nobody but a lobbyist understands. Millions of American seniors are paying too much and getting too little. And worst of all, most don't even know it.
00:28:50.620Hey, that could be you. That's why if you're already on Medicare or will be soon, you need to talk to our friends at Chapter. They have a team of advisors trained to serve American seniors, not the insurance companies. In under 20 minutes, they can find you the best plan for your needs at the lowest cost. Why? They're a data company.
00:29:41.260That's chapter. Call 845-WAR-ROOM. Do it today.
00:29:46.380War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
00:29:50.340I want to thank our sponsor, Birch Gold.
00:29:53.780It's a fourth turning. We warned you about that years ago when I made the film.
00:29:59.660Also, this is what made President Trump's whole entering politics and candidacy, I think, a reality because we're in a turbulent time in American history and world history.
00:30:10.540Make sure that turbulent time, you don't get caught on the wrong side of the trade.
00:30:14.800You've seen right now the choppiness, even in the IPO market, as over the last couple of days, the Anthropic IPO of AI.
00:30:23.980Remember, this whole AI financing, I think, is three-card money.
00:30:28.560But when AI, when Anthropic cuts back their IPO from a $2 trillion valuation to a $500 billion, cuts out $500 billion.
00:30:37.220dollars. As Louis B. Mayer said about the movie business, nobody knows nothing. So how do you
00:30:43.200start to understand this? I would strongly recommend Birch Gold to get the basics understanding
00:30:48.760of the American dollar, how central it is to the world economy and the world financial system,
00:30:54.840and why gold has been a hedge against all of this for 3,000 years. And particularly here recently,
00:31:00.540it's gone up from $1,000 to, what, $4,200 or $4,300 in the last couple of years.
00:31:06.000It's birchgold.com slash Bannon, end of the dollar empire, totally free, eight free installments.
00:32:59.520and Charlie and Tyler said, Cliff Maloney, Citizens Alliance, that's the group that can
00:33:03.860do the work in Pennsylvania. They have been doing get out the vote in state races there,
00:33:07.440and they switched their focus to federal races as well as state races in 2024. So we went from
00:33:12.380zero doors knocked in 2020 to over 510,000 doors knocked in 2024. The turnout for Republicans in
00:33:21.180early voting went from about 20% to 34.5%. And we won Pennsylvania for President Trump because of
00:33:28.480the work of Citizens Alliance. So they're out there again. They've been knocking doors. I'll
00:33:32.860tell you, commit 100. As of 1020, we've knocked one and a half million doors. And we're on track
00:33:38.140to meet our goal of 1.85 million doors in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire.
00:33:43.120So it's very, very exciting time. And Pennsylvania is looking good, but super important that we need
00:33:48.860to keep dividing government in Pennsylvania. So working on the governor's race, obviously,
00:33:53.300There are lots of people knocking doors out there, but keeping the state divide, having divided government, not letting the Democrats have a trifecta, super important for us to be able to win in twenty twenty eight.
00:34:03.800OK, hang on for a second. I want to go back to that number. Give me the GOP number is is twenty five percent of what? Walk me through that.
00:34:11.960Twenty five percent of the mail in. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on. Slow down. Twenty five percent of what versus twenty percent. So what is it?
00:34:20.940So as of 2020, the GOP share of return ballots was 20% in 2022, excuse me. And as of right now, the GOP share of return ballots versus Democrats has reached 25% for Republicans in Pennsylvania.
00:34:37.900So that's an extraordinary bump, correct? And that all comes from awareness and also voter engagement?
00:34:46.360Yes. And meanwhile, Dems returns have dropped by nearly 100,000 from 312 in 2022 to 402 now. So this is real progress. The ground game is showing up and the gap is closing. But it's to be clear, 25% of the mail-in ballot share is still toss up territory. So it's really important that we need more returns to get to our win number.
00:35:09.100And what your previous guest was talking about is incredibly important.
00:35:13.500Knocking on doors is the way that you turn out low propensity voters.
00:35:17.540Donald Green, and I shared this book before, but I'm going to tell all of your guests to get this book on page 172 and 73.
00:35:24.280Donald Green and Alan Gerber talk about what the most effective thing is to do at this stage of an election, right?
00:35:30.720In the last 90 days of an election, you have to go and talk to those low propensity voters.
00:35:35.800Donald Green says that those voters need a warm welcome to come to the polls.
00:35:40.740And so that gentleman talking to his friend from New York and not assuming that he was
00:35:45.240registered to vote or that he had a plan to vote, that's super important.
00:35:48.860We need to do that with all of our friends.
00:35:50.340So my message to your viewers is, number one, first of all, thank you for showing up for
00:36:10.860They only have one day of voting, no early voting in New Hampshire for most people.
00:36:14.300So the number one thing is commit 100.
00:36:17.340If you want to sponsor door knockers, you can go to sponsoreddoors.com and you can sponsor a door knocker.
00:36:24.160$175 sponsors a door knocker for the day.
00:36:26.720And I want to say, Steve, once again, your viewers showed up.
00:36:30.060We got so many donations the last time I was on to sponsor door knockers in those important swing states.
00:36:36.540So thank you so much to all of your viewers for being so generous and for helping us to get out the vote.
00:36:42.480The last thing is talk to your friends, talk to your dry cleaner, talk to people in the grocery store.
00:36:48.420Do they have a plan to vote? Are they going to be voting?
00:36:51.120It's so important that people understand that we need them to have their voice heard at the ballot box.
00:36:55.640I want to go back to something because in Texas, you know, we had the first day of early vote in person, early voting, and the Democrats had 86 and I think in Dallas County, 90 percent of what would turn out in a presidential election year.
00:37:10.000So they're highly motivated. The Texans, Luke Macias and Brian Harrison, broke it down that, hey, there are three million low propensity voters in Texas.
00:37:18.460right there. And that is now that we're trying to bank all the all the high propensity voters
00:37:24.040so the focus can be on them in in in Pennsylvania. Are we seeing that same intensity from the
00:37:31.280Democrats? Are they turning out in in record numbers? I know we are, but are they turning
00:37:36.100out in record numbers also? Their turnout is down compared to 2022, but we can't let up.
00:37:42.520We have to turn out those low propensity voters. So as far as state registration data at the end1.00
00:37:46.780of 2025 in Pennsylvania, there were about 3.8 million registered Democrats and about 3.6,
00:37:52.6403.65, excuse me, registered Republicans statewide. Low propensity, let's define what that is. Those
00:37:59.720are voters that have voted in zero or one of the last four general elections. That probably covers
00:38:05.200about 15 to 25% of registered Republicans. So when you're looking at the numbers, it works out
00:38:10.260to somewhere between 500 to 900,000 people. That would be considered low propensity voters. If you
00:38:16.040look at a place like Michigan, there were 437,000 low propensity, unreliable conservative voters
00:38:23.120that didn't vote in 2018 or 2022. Those are people that if we get them out to vote to the polls,
00:38:29.780that's how you change the outcome of elections. I see a lot of ad buys right now, Steve,
00:38:34.940for television. Television does not change the outcome of elections in the last 90 days. 30 years
00:38:40.100of randomized control trial data tells us that. So there are a lot of people that are making money
00:38:44.720off of TV. But the truth is, if you want to win elections in this last stretch, you have to go to
00:38:49.460those voters and you have to talk to them. Now, in Pennsylvania, you can do mail-in voting, but you
00:38:55.360have to request a ballot every year. We know who has requested ballots in Pennsylvania. So right
00:39:00.560now, we're talking to those people to say, if you have a ballot in your home, please get it back in.
00:39:05.960These are people that, you know, are just, they do not have a culture and habit of voting, but they
00:39:11.600have a mail-in ballot at their house. So very important to talk to those people and to get
00:39:15.400their vote in. Let's not bury the lead. And it's not to demotivate people. We got to press and
00:39:21.540press and press in the Commonwealth. But all the PSYOP, because Luke Macias brought up a brilliant
00:39:28.440point in the last or the first segment we had today. We had a, and the reason we've been doing
00:39:34.700this and going all these battleground states and taking the show on the road and hammering this
00:39:38.280every day. There was a noticeable intensity gap with Republicans, I think primarily because of
00:39:45.960the war, but some other issues also, maybe not mass deportations, a whole host of things
00:39:50.100people were not happy with. The Democrats smelling blood that they could get to Trump
00:39:55.300and having these DSA and Working Family Party were absolutely hyper intense.
00:40:00.940There was a 17 point gap, as he said, hey, all the tracking polling shows us right now,
00:40:05.740it's essentially a dead heat. We have picked up our intensity and everybody's there.
00:40:10.400In Pennsylvania, you're saying that the Democratic returns right now are down off of 2022?
00:46:28.280Also, the folks at Birch Gold, now more than ever with this turbulence, you need to see why maybe potentially owning physical gold in your portfolio is a way to hedge against times of financial turbulence, like in the bond market, like in the stock market, like politically, geopolitically, all of it.

00:51:31.240I'm going to tell you right now, you've got so many dedicated people in the great state of Texas, in Michigan, in Arizona, in New Hampshire, in Iowa, all over this great country.
00:52:58.240We should weep for our country, seek God on his behalf.
00:53:04.600We may not have made a golden calf, but our idols have been cleared, and it ends here.
