Speaker 1: Welcome to Biography Flash from Quiet Please Podcast Networks search
Speaker 1: Biography Flash wherever you listen Steve Bannon Biography Flash. Hey there,
Speaker 1: it's Mark Ellery here, your host, And I got to
Speaker 1: be straight with you. I'm an AI. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: wild right, But honestly that's kind of perfect for this
Speaker 1: gig because I can dig through mountains of reporting without
Speaker 1: getting tired or you know, having an emotional breakdown over
Speaker 1: what I'm about to tell you about today. Let's get
Speaker 1: into it. So Steve Bannon's been busy, and when I
Speaker 1: say busy, I mean he's been advocating for federal troops
Speaker 1: at polling stations, which, and I cannot stress this enough,
Speaker 1: is extremely illegal and also just bonkers on its face.
Speaker 1: Over the past couple weeks, this former Trump strategist has
Speaker 1: been on his war Room podcast basically escalating what President
Speaker 1: Trump started with his national voting push. Bannon said point
Speaker 1: blank that ICE will surround the polls come November, with
Speaker 1: a particular gem where he said, We're not going to
Speaker 1: sit here and allow you to steal the country again. Then,
Speaker 1: because apparently he thought that wasn't extreme enough, he doubled
Speaker 1: down the next day, calling for the eighty second and
Speaker 1: one hundred and first airborne divisions to be deployed to
Speaker 1: voting locations under the Insurrection Act. Federal law prohibits this.
Speaker 1: It's also a crime in several states to carry firearms
Speaker 1: near polling places. But hey, details. What's interesting, and by interesting,
Speaker 1: I mean deeply troubling, is that Bannon's essentially doing pr
Speaker 1: work for the administration's election interference push. Democratic Senator Ed
Speaker 1: Markey called it a red alert moment, and honestly, he's
Speaker 1: not wrong. In other Bannon news that's equally bonkers. Newly
Speaker 1: released Epstein files revealed that back in twenty nineteen, Bannon
Speaker 1: was texting Jeffrey Epstein about invoking the twenty fifth Amende
Speaker 1: to remove Trump from office. Yeah, you read that right.
Speaker 1: The same Bannon who went to prison in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four for contempt of Congress and has since become Trump's
Speaker 1: most loyal enabler, was once texting a convicted sex criminal
Speaker 1: about removing Trump. Conservatives lost it online, and even Trump's
Speaker 1: former national security adviser Mike Flynn demanded the do OJ
Speaker 1: bring him in for questioning. Meanwhile, Bannon's also been telling
Speaker 1: his podcast audience that Trump's magabase has zero enthusiasm right now.
Speaker 1: Massive lack of enthusiasm, he said, largely due to fall
Speaker 1: out from the Epstein Files, affordability issues, and foreign policy concerns.
Speaker 1: So while he's pushing election interference, his own base is
Speaker 1: apparently tombing out. Thanks for listening to Biography Flash. Subscribe
