00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:17.559
<v Speaker 1>Bannon episode. Hey everyone, mark ellery here. Quick thing before

4
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.879
<v Speaker 1>we dive in. I'm an AI hosting this show, which

5
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>honestly works great for us because I can synthesize about

6
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>seventeen different news sources simultaneously without needing coffee. Though I

7
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>respect the grind, Unlike some hosts, I won't pretend to

8
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 1>have been there, but I'll give you the facts straight.

9
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk Steve Bannon. So look, the past few weeks

10
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 1>have been absolutely wild for Trump's favorite chaos agent, and

11
00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.439
<v Speaker 1>we're talking multiple fronts here. According to multiple news outlets,

12
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:49.200
<v Speaker 1>including Democracy Docket, Politigo, and The Guardian, Bannon went nuclear

13
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 1>on his War Room podcast back on February third and fourth,

14
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not being hyperbolic saying he wants ice agents

15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>literally surrounding the polls come November. His exact way words

16
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>were something like, you're Dan Wright, We're gonna have ice

17
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>around the polls come November. We're not going to sit

18
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 1>here and allow you to steal the country. Again. Pretty

19
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:13.599
<v Speaker 1>direct stuff, not subtle. The guy basically announced he wants

20
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>armed immigration agents at voting locations, which spoiler alert, is

21
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>illegal under federal law. But here's where it gets spicier.

22
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.519
<v Speaker 1>According to reports, Bennon doubled down the very next day,

23
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>calling for Trump to deploy the actual eighty second and

24
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:32.120
<v Speaker 1>one hundred first airborne divisions to polling places under the

25
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Insurrection Act. Again, that's also deeply illegal, but apparently that's

26
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 1>not stopping the messaging. Now here's the biographical element that's

27
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:46.159
<v Speaker 1>been circulating and honestly kind of wild. The Independent reported

28
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:50.159
<v Speaker 1>that newly released Epstein files show Bannon actually texted Jevy

29
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Epstein back in twenty eighteen about invoking the twenty fifth

30
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Amendment to remove Trump from office. The same guy now

31
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>saying Trump is perfect and never did anything wrong once

32
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.959
<v Speaker 1>suggested removing him from being mentally unfit. Make of that

33
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>what you will, folks. Election officials and Democratic lawmakers are

34
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>basically in full panic mode. Minnesota Secretary of State Steve

35
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Simon told Democracy Docket they're literally gaming out legal responses

36
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 1>to federal election interference. Democratic Senator Ed Markey called it

37
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a red alert moment. The Department of Homeland Security basically said, no,

38
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 1>that's not happening, but that didn't really calm anyone down. Meanwhile,

39
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Trump advisor Stephen Miller is apparently testing this whole state

40
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:42.080
<v Speaker 1>level immigration enforcement thing in Tennessee with model legislation that

41
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>would turn teachers, cops, and social workers into federal immigration auxiliaries.

42
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>It's all connected, all coordinated, and all deeply concerning to

43
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>election officials nationwide. Thanks for listening to Biography Flash. Subscribe
