Steve Bannon was a political prisoner of the Biden-Harris regime.
Bannon, the former White House adviser to President Trump, was freed early this morning after serving a four-month sentence in federal prison for being in contempt of Congress.
His daughter, Maureen Bannon, was a guest on the Todd Starnes Show. Following, is a transcript of the interview. Listen to the full interview below starting at 42:30 and be sure to subscribe to Todd’s podcast.
Todd Starnes [00:01:09] Maureen, let’s talk about what’s going on with your dad. First of all, how is he doing? Are you guys able to have contact with him?
Maureen Bannon [00:01:18] We email regularly since he has been in. So I am able to communicate with him. He is doing good. I know he’s ready to be out, but he is doing good.
Todd Starnes [00:01:31] What is the message that he has for the America First conservatives that are listening to this program today.
Maureen Bannon [00:01:40] That everyone needs to get out and vote. That was one of his big things, you know, since he’s been in. He went in July 1st. But get out the vote. Make sure you are registered to vote in your state. And it doesn’t stop there. You need to have a plan to vote and make sure that your vote counts. So that’s his big, big thing and that he’s been focusing on since he’s been in there.
Todd Starnes [00:02:06] That’s what it’s about. And you have to imagine he would be so proud of the way the campaign is going right now. President Trump seems to be hitting on all cylinders. So you’re telling me he’s getting is he getting these daily updates? Is he staying up to speed on what’s happening with the race?
Maureen Bannon [00:02:25] He is they are able to watch news in there. It’s Fox News and CNN, MSNBC. So he hasn’t been able to watch War Room since he’s been in Danbury. But they do have TVs that play the news in there. And then he gets emails from myself and our team that provide him updates and send him articles. So he’s getting the same information just a little bit through the prison email system.
Todd Starnes [00:02:59] I’m glad he’s getting that info. It’s got to be driving him nuts though to be sidelined, at least for the time being.
Maureen Bannon [00:03:10] I think he would much rather be out, but he is still getting his voice heard. I know that the last thought by throwing him in prison, especially in the four months leading up to this crucial election, they thought that his voice was going to be silenced and he’s going to have his voice heard. You know, it’s not him behind the mike, but he is getting his voice out there. If it’s through myself or other people that he’s able to communicate with.
Todd Starnes [00:03:48] And Maureen, let’s talk about that. He really should not be there. And I think there was an opportunity for him to get out maybe early. What’s going on there? How how quickly are we going to be able to get him back home?
Maureen Bannon [00:04:01] Right. So on August 29th, he filed a motion to re-impose bail or impose a period of supervised release. And he qualifies or he’s eligible for early release to home confinement under the First Step Act. He was not notified of this until Friday when that exclusive came out that he was eligible. And Bureau of Prisons, the Bureau of Prisons, is stating that there is not enough time left in his sentence to set that up for him to be released early to home confinement. So basically, in my opinion, it seems as if the Biden-Harris administration is making sure that he stays in until his original release date so that he can’t be the big new voice in this movement that we know he is there trying to continue to silence him up until his original release date. But what he’s basically saying in the statement is he is eligible for early release, so he should be out as of now. But he is currently still in till his actual release date of October 29th.
Todd Starnes [00:05:19] God help the Democrats on that date. Maureen, I can only imagine your dad coming out of there like a like a bull in a China shop.
Maureen Bannon [00:05:30] Yeah, I think I think everyone thinks on the left that he’s not going to hit the ground running and those voices aren’t going to be heard. I’ve been asked before if I thought that his voice was going to be silenced or if people would listen. When he got got out. And I said, You think that his voice isn’t heard now, you know or not, many people hear it before he went in, which is not the case. It will be amplified even more when he gets out. More people will want to know what he has to say, especially since he’s been away for four months.
Todd Starnes [00:06:04] No doubt. No doubt about that. And I’m wondering, has the Trump campaign and been and has President Trump been in touch or passed along any messages to your dad?
Maureen Bannon [00:06:14] That I am not sure of at this time, but I will. I believe that once it is out, they will probably be in communication in some way, shape or form.
Todd Starnes [00:06:27] And meanwhile, war room, you know, and that’s a thing. I think they thought everything was just going to shut down while while your dad was in and in prison. But war room continues and you guys are still out there, you know, fighting the good fight.
Maureen Bannon [00:06:41] We are. And I think that, like you said, posit that they thought their silence, his voice and the war room would completely go away for four months. And I hate to break it to the left I am my father’s daughter. I’m very much like him. So I was not going to let that happen. My dad’s voice was not going to be silenced for four months and I was not going to let anything happen to War Room. And we’ve stayed strong. We’ve had amazing guest hosts. You know, we’re ready for my dad to come back. But we we’ve done an amazing job for him and I and I’m very grateful for everyone in the war room posse that has stayed a avid listener while my dad has been away and supported us as well throughout that process.
Todd Starnes [00:07:25] Maureen, as an American citizen, watching what they did to your dad and the weaponization of the judicial system. As a younger American, what is that? You know, again, when you’re when you’re looking at what they did to him, what does that tell you about where we are in America right now?
Maureen Bannon [00:07:43] It’s. It’s very frightening that the Democrats are the ones who say that President Trump, when he is reelected, will be the one to throw his opponents or anyone that doesn’t agree with him in prison. That’s exactly what the left is doing. They did it for Peter Navarro. They put him in prison for four months. They put my dad in prison for four months. This should wake everyone up that we need to get out and vote and make sure that we get Donald Trump back in the White House. You know, we’ve seen the destruction that this administration has caused in the last three and a half years, and we can’t stand for another four years of this. We need Donald Trump back in office. And this should open up everyone’s eyes if they’re going to do this to Peter Navarro and my dad, they won’t stop at that. They will continue to do it to anyone that does not agree with them.
Todd Starnes [00:08:38] 1,000%. And we’ve seen that the FBI targeting moms and dads who complain at school board meetings, the pre-dawn guns drawn, raids on the homes of pro-lifers in this country, law abiding gun owners. And I mean, it really is open warfare. And here they are campaigning on this idea that Trump is the threat to democracy when in fact, they overthrew the legitimate candidate on the Democrat Party’s ticket, installed somebody else. That, by sheer definition, is a coup, Maureen.
Maureen Bannon [00:09:12] Yes, it was a bloodless coup, but they want everyone to forget that they did that. So, you know, they’re trying to. Continuously talk about Trump and things that he’s done. You know, Kamala Harris can’t answer a question in an interview without bringing up Donald Trump. And so if the Democratic Party is all about the question. They don’t want you to see their issues and the corrupt things that they do. So they’re going to try and paint us on the right as the ones that are doing everything that they are actually doing.
Todd Starnes [00:09:47] That’s it. All right. Well, Maureen, again, let’s give war room a blood. Where can people go and watch the show?
Maureen Bannon [00:09:54] Thank you again for having me on. They can go to Real America’s Voice. We’re also on Rumble. If you go to Rumble and start Bannon’s war room. We’re on from 10 to 12 Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Saturday, and then 5 to 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday. And you can watch us there and support us as well.
Todd Starnes [00:10:17] All right. Well, we’re going to do that. And Maureen, tell your dad, give him our very best and whatever you guys need, just let us know.
Maureen Bannon [00:10:26] I will. Thank you again for having me on.
Todd Starnes [00:10:28] All right. Maureen Bannon, everybody. She is the chief executive officer of War Room, also a great American patriot, a military veteran. And folks, we have got to continue to pray for the Bannon family as well as supporting them and their efforts here. And I cannot wait for the day that he walks out of that prison. The Democrats are not going to know what hit them. I can tell you he’s going to be on them like a pitbull on a pork chop.
