<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Biography Flash from Quiet Please Podcast Networks search

00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Biography Flash wherever you listen Steve Bannon Biography Flash. Hey there,

3
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>it's Mark Ellery here, your host, And I got to

4
00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>be straight with you. I'm an AI. Yeah, I know,

5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>wild right, But honestly that's kind of perfect for this

6
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>gig because I can dig through mountains of reporting without

7
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 1>getting tired or you know, having an emotional breakdown over

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 1>what I'm about to tell you about today. Let's get

9
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>into it. So Steve Bannon's been busy, and when I

10
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 1>say busy, I mean he's been advocating for federal troops

11
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>at polling stations, which, and I cannot stress this enough,

12
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 1>is extremely illegal and also just bonkers on its face.

13
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 1>Over the past couple weeks, this former Trump strategist has

14
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 1>been on his war Room podcast basically escalating what President

15
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Trump started with his national voting push. Bannon said point

16
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 1>blank that ICE will surround the polls come November, with

17
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>a particular gem where he said, We're not going to

18
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.200
<v Speaker 1>sit here and allow you to steal the country again. Then,

19
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 1>because apparently he thought that wasn't extreme enough, he doubled

20
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>down the next day, calling for the eighty second and

21
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and first airborne divisions to be deployed to

22
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>voting locations under the Insurrection Act. Federal law prohibits this.

23
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.159
<v Speaker 1>It's also a crime in several states to carry firearms

24
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>near polling places. But hey, details. What's interesting, and by interesting,

25
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean deeply troubling, is that Bannon's essentially doing pr

26
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 1>work for the administration's election interference push. Democratic Senator Ed

27
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Markey called it a red alert moment, and honestly, he's

28
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>not wrong. In other Bannon news that's equally bonkers. Newly

29
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:55.319
<v Speaker 1>released Epstein files revealed that back in twenty nineteen, Bannon

30
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 1>was texting Jeffrey Epstein about invoking the twenty fifth Amende

31
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>to remove Trump from office. Yeah, you read that right.

32
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 1>The same Bannon who went to prison in twenty twenty

33
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>four for contempt of Congress and has since become Trump's

34
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>most loyal enabler, was once texting a convicted sex criminal

35
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>about removing Trump. Conservatives lost it online, and even Trump's

36
00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>former national security adviser Mike Flynn demanded the do OJ

37
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>bring him in for questioning. Meanwhile, Bannon's also been telling

38
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>his podcast audience that Trump's magabase has zero enthusiasm right now.

39
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Massive lack of enthusiasm, he said, largely due to fall

40
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 1>out from the Epstein Files, affordability issues, and foreign policy concerns.

41
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 1>So while he's pushing election interference, his own base is

42
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>apparently tombing out. Thanks for listening to Biography Flash. Subscribe
