War Room

BANNON: Anyone thinking about 2028 has to deal with TODAY’S issues. You have to take care of Texas. They drove this as a repudiation of Trump and Trumpism, a chance to kill it all in one fell swoop. Anyone planning on 2028 has to help turn this around. And it has to happen RIGHT NOW.

BANNON: Dems learned their lesson from J6 and the first Trump impeachment. Garcia and Jamie Raskin have already laid it out. Corporations first, then the administration. They’re talking impeachments. I’ve told people in the WH and said publicly, this is going to be like Fort Apache.

BANNON: This election was a purge of neoliberal neocons. JD’s diatribe didn’t mention the tech oligarchs. The hypocrisy of Sean Hannity tearing up on election night over the war. The Murdochs are the biggest proponents of neoliberal neocon policies in this country.

BANNON: Trump was very clear in 2024. People cannot underestimate not just the war, but who made the decisions about our country’s sovereignty. Who actually made the decisions? The meetings with Netanyahu? The Mossad intelligence? What actually went on? Do we have our sovereignty? For the under 30 crowd, that’s one of their top issues.

BANNON: They see a war they don’t understand that’s never been explained to them. It drove up costs on top of inflation from Biden’s mass spending. The President told us on national TV we’d obliterated the nuclear problem. Then we went back in for an ill-defined nuclear mission that was clearly a regime change war, taking the war to the Persian people. That’s when people dialed out. People in our own coalition came out and voted against the President’s plan.

BANNON: They’ll use the lame duck to lift the debt ceiling for unlimited spending. Dems don’t take power until Jan. 3. This is RIGHT NOW. The established order returning to its policies, which are NOT MAGA. This is why Thune hasn’t done anything.

EMILY MAITLIS: Tuesday was an R wipeout. Did you realize that many people hated their President? BANNON: Not sure it’s just the President. It’s also a purge of R neoliberal neocons. Some of it is the lack of real MAGA policies, particularly no foreign wars. No mass deportations. Fuentes and that part of the group told people not just to withhold support, but to vote against Rs. There definitely was some of that. Midterms are much more emotional than presidential cycles. You have to motivate people.

If you want policies to save this country, like keeping Texas from becoming a sanctuary state, you’re going to have to fight every inch of the way. If you’re in Texas asking what just happened, they’re going to flip Texas to a sanctuary state with 25 sanctuary cities and rip all the Operation Lone Star assets from the border. And you can suck on that bc now you’ve got a whole different group of people in charge.

51 Years Later The WarRoom Remembers The SS Edmund Fitzgerald and the 29 Men Who Never Came Home

We’re 45 or 50 days away from game on. When Democrats are in charge, they’re absolutely, totally and completely vicious. They’re going to come to destroy people as they always do. This time, they’re not going to let people slip off the hook. They’re going to use Nov 3rd to destroy Trump, MAGA, Trumpism.

Democrats are making changes after a huge win. We had a catastrophic defeat driven by the lack of work in the House and Senate. Where are the investigations? Where are the perp walks? Where's the Save America Act? Everything was performative and yet we keep the exact same people.

Neil W. McCabe: Before Thune was elected unanimously by voice vote, a motion to delay the leadership vote failed, 31–15. That means 15 Republican senators stood up to Thune. @ReporterMcCabe

DAVID ZERE: House Ds want to run Pete Hegseth out of town. One incident in the Strait of Hormuz could accelerate their efforts. Trump is one man. Hegseth is one man. There are knives out for Pete among Rs and inside the Pentagon. He's taken bold action, reformed and reshaped the military, but the next two years are going to be tough.

NEIL W. MCCABE: People need to understand who Jim Jordan really is. Kevin McCarthy elevated Jordan over Louie Gohmert to chair House Judiciary. What did Jordan do? Nothing. He promised to blow the lid off the FBI with whistleblowers if Rs took the House in 2022. Rs won. Jordan did nothing. Those whistleblowers were exposed and abandoned. He founded the Freedom Caucus, then caved to Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy. Why anyone thinks we're going to get anything out of Jim Jordan is beyond me.

Wade Miller: There needs to be a special session to rescind many of the emergency powers the Texas governor has, because Hinojosa will use them to do a lot of damage to the people of Texas.

Wade Miller: The fight isn’t over. We’re still in it. This country isn’t dead yet, and we’re here to fight for it. We’re Americans—Marines, sailors, airmen, soldiers, or citizens who love this country—and we’re here to fight for it.

Neil W. McCabe: Warren Davidson is the only one of the seven Republicans who voted for the War Powers Act on September 15 to return in January. He said this morning that he will not support impeachment. @ReporterMcCabe

David Zere on the impeachment articles against Secretary Hegseth: I don’t think a lot of this has teeth, but I don’t know if that matters in this environment. Eventually, the Democrats are going to steamroll everybody. The letter of the law will get lost and may not matter with the court of the mainstream media public opinion agenda. @davidzere

Wade Miller Calls Hegseth Impeachment Articles “Constitutionally and Statutorily Illiterate” - “Every aspect of this entire litany of charges is utter nonsense.”
