The media is pushing a scripted blue wave to demoralize the base, but MAGA voters just proved that engagement beats their narrative every time.

BANNON: MSM Is Going To Try To Bury President Trump. They’ve Tried Since The Very Beginning. Now Is The Time For Action, Action, Action. We Can’t Let Up!
[COLD OPEN]
STEVE BANNON (HOST): It’s Wednesday, 3 December, Year of Our Lord 2025. We’re packed today of things to go through. You saw, and we’ve got David Zier, Poso, an entire team at the Pentagon right now. They’re in a briefing, a behind closed door briefing, and they’re going to be out, I think, momentarily at the bottom of the hour for us to get both David Zere and Posobiec, a lot going on the national security front.
I want to go back. You saw, okay, why do we play things that upset you early in the morning before you’ve, you know, maybe some of you, particularly on the West Coast, have not gotten to your Warpath coffee? We do it to make sure that you understand how the narrative is being set by the opposition, by the enemy of MAGA, the enemy of President Trump.
You saw CNN. You see the joy? I mean, you see the exuberance. They’re talking about a blue wave and they’re sitting there spiking the football.
Look, the takeaway from yesterday is when MAGA engages, because this thing was a dead heat. In fact, we were down on the early vote. When MAGA engages over those four or five days that people worked and the communications got out there and clear communication lines, and then the candidate, who I agree with CNN was a terrific candidate, a combat veteran, kind of from central casting, when all of that got out, you had a massive blowout.
As Michael Patrick Leahy told us, if you represent on game day, you’re going to have a blowout. And Leahy told me beforehand, hey, I think we win this thing by nine or ten points if people turn up, and people turned up.
Don’t look at the 13 point swing. That’s not particularly relevant. What’s relevant in this race and the most important thing overall is people’s engagement in the process.
When people finally got engaged in this process over the long Thanksgiving weekend, and then on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, they get out the vote, the focus in very cold, bitter weather. There were blowout numbers, which the Democrats were not expecting, on election day, on game day. This is what we’re going to have to depend upon in the midterm elections.
This is all about getting out low information, low propensity voters who oftentimes have, if Trump’s not on the ballot, if Trump’s not there, we’re just not interested. We’re going to have to engage those people every day.
Now the other part of this on the cold open was the ADP payroll number, particularly for small business. Once again, I think CNBC is just making it up. There is no evidence that anybody’s put forward, and I mean hard evidence, that the tariffs are having anything to do with this. Maybe softening and slight softening in small business.
What I think it reinforces is the interest rate situation, and this is why President Trump’s pick for the Federal Reserve, and if Powell’s going to give up his seat as governor, which we’ll get to later in the week, the complexity of this.
Right now, I think this is about interest rates and about the way the Fed miscalculates interest rates, and Powell refuses to respond. Now, there’s supposed to be another cut in December, but knowing Powell and particularly knowing how vindictive he is against the president and MAGA and the Trump administration, I’m sure he’s not going to give any guidance to additional cuts coming in 26.
So what does this all mean? Tariffs, which is the point, the tariffs are a forcing function. When those kick in, and they will kick in sometime at 26, you’ll start to get massive GDP growth, massive GDP per capita growth, jobs, wages, whatever. And I’ve said, hey, you may have a gap there before it totally kicks in. I think you may be seeing that gap, at least a little bit of it, on this ADP number.
You saw the way, the reason we wanted to play the Harry Anton thing in its entirety, intercut with what the Democratic candidate was saying last night, is the exuberance. The mainstream media is going to try to bury President Trump. They’ve tried this from the very beginning when he came down the escalator.
You guys know it. You’ve been ringside. You have been the force that put him on your shoulders when the establishment basically stole, and the globalists stole, and the deep state stole the 2020 election for the greatest comeback in history.
And this is why I think it’s incumbent upon now action, action, action. You’re having essentially a fistfight between Elise Stefanik and Johnson right now on the NDAA, on certain elements of it tied to intelligence and tied to Arctic Frost and tied to everything that the deep state has tried to do to Trump to tear him apart, that Jamie Raskin has been able to block some things and put some other things in there, and she says it’s not acceptable, and she’s gone public with it.
If now we ever had a clarion call for more direct action, direct action, action, action, it has to be now.
And I realize President Trump now has the thing that blocking immigration and, you know, cutting off all the illegal immigrants from tax benefits, which, hey, I think most people figured we did that day one, but hey, if we didn’t, that’s fine, let’s do it today.
But as importantly, you know, Boasberg, the judge, I think, is refusing to come over at an invitation to testify, and I believe it’s even behind closed door to the House. It’s time now to impeach him, to go after him with more indictments right now against the deep state.
And this is why we will have, you know, Poso and Zere from the Pentagon. God bless the fact that, you know, you’re in Moscow, you’re here, you’re there, you’re all these places. BB’s coming to Mar a Lago. That’s all fine. But the priority has to be here.
And even there, even in these situations, it’s how it relates back directly. And the taxpayer and the citizen understands we’re in Moscow to try to end this war because this directly affects you. We don’t have to shovel any more money in there.
Or we’re in Venezuela because we’re tired of the drugs coming up and also that they were in back of one of the big parts in back of the invasion of the country. Or in Israel, we’re finally shutting this thing down and it’s become a secondary thought, as it should be. It’s a side show to a side show.
You’ve got to get back to the main event. And the main event is here. And we got our work cut out for us. But he’s here, Harry Enton, the blue wave is building. Look at that. Look how jacked up they are.
And that is on the 3rd of December of 2025. As they get any analytics at all that support their theory, you’re going to have your nose rubbed in it every day. And they’re going to try to build a psychological way by convincing the American people, and particularly in convincing MAGA, it’s too late.
This is what they tried to do in Tennessee. And you represented, and I mean overrepresented on game day, to lead to a blowout number, a nine point win. Don’t forget that, a nine point win. They were hoping for something like two or three.
