Bannon`s War Room
Episode 5005: New Information Drops On Possible Targeted Attack At Brown; Failure Of Republican Leadership
18 Dec 2025
Chapter 1: What tragic event is being honored at the start of the episode?
This is honoring the two Iowa National Guard members killed in an attack in the Syrian desert on December 13th. This is the first transfer case. We believe it's Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard. He is 20, or he was 29 years old, serving in the U.S. Army, 1st Squadron, 113th Cavalry Regiment, the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division of the Iowa National Guard, Boone, Iowa.
He is from Iowa, Marshalltown, Iowa. His stepfather, Jeffrey Bunn, said that Howard was a loving husband and an amazing man. The president is accompanied there by Casey Wasserman, the head of the 2028 Olympic Committee. Three other Iowa National Guard members were injured in the attack. Also killed was Ayad Mansour Sakat, an interpreter.
Chapter 2: Who were the soldiers and interpreter killed in the attack?
He was killed. We're now waiting on the second transfer case. This will be Sergeant Edgar Torres Tovar. Twenty five years old. U.S. Army again. Also from Iowa, from Des Moines, Iowa. He's described as a very positive person, family oriented and always put others first, according to fellow guardsmen who were deployed with him. The president has blamed ISIS for the attack. on these U.S.
service members and has said there will be very serious retaliation. He's also said that the interim president of Syria, Ahmad al-Shara, is extremely angry and disturbed by the attack. Again, that was the what we were calling the second transfer case. That was Sergeant Edgar Torres Tovar, again, 25 years old. David, I'm sorry I cut you off. Finish your answer. I'm glad you did.
It's a terrible sacrifice for all these families. So in terms of retaliation, it's possible. It's just difficult because I think many members of ISIS have gone underground. And just in terms of the threat that it still represents, the attack in Sydney, Australia, was inspired by ISIS. There's more than investigators are trying to learn there.
But the problem is that ISIS is posting videos and other material online that inspires attacks around the world. And Syria is one of the places where they still remain active. But it's just a tremendous loss for all three of these families. General, this is perhaps the most solemn act that any president can be a part of.
We're witnessing this president as two of these fallen soldiers are returned to the United States. Does the United States Army rank and name? This is Ayad Mansour Sakat. Excuse me. Let's watch. He's the interpreter. Again, that was Ayad Mansour Saqqad, also a member of the U.S. Army. His hometown is Macomb, Michigan. The interpreter killed as well in this attack.
That was a beautiful event for three great people. They're now looking down, and their parents and wives and all of the people that were there were, I mean, devastated, but great people, great people. So thank you very much for being there.
Okay, dignified transfer at Dover Air Base a little while ago, President of the United States and two National Guard troops from Iowa, Iowa National Guard, killed in an ambush in Syria, and of course the interpreter from Macomb County, which is... where Reagan Democrats are from. Jack Posobiec is going to call in momentarily. We do have something we've been working on all afternoon.
It's quite disturbing. I think that there is now... people talking behind the scenes, maybe some parents, people that were actually in the room.
It appears that Ella Cook may have been targeted, and we're going to get more information about this, but very, very, very disturbing, and I think very disturbing why either local authorities have not given us an update on Ella Cook and, quite frankly, why federal authorities have not given us an update on Ella Cook. If this is a case or even close to being the case.

Chapter 3: What has President Biden said about the attack and potential retaliation?
If it were illegal, you would see Democrats in prison for challenging Republican wins in 1968, 2000, 2004, and 2016. The only thing that is illegal with all of this is what Jack Smith did when he illegally ignored the FBI, when the FBI told him there was not probable cause to do the Mar-a-Lago raid, and then Jack Smith illegally colluded with various
Biden officials to politicize and weaponize the intel agencies and law enforcement to take out President Trump. Remember, this is the same Jack Smith who was sent in to take out former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, and he succeeded in winning a criminal conviction that was overturned eight to nothing. by the Supreme Court of the United States.
It would have been nine to nothing, but Justice Scalia passed away. It is very hard to get overturned eight to nothing by the Supreme Court on anything, let alone a criminal case. But Jack Smith found the way, but he didn't care because the damage was already done. The mission was already accomplished.
He took out former Virginia Bob McDonnell as a potential or likely presidential candidate for Republicans. Jack Smith got banished. to the Hague because he is such a scud missile. He's such a clown. And it was Joe Biden and the Biden Justice Department who brought back Jack Smith from the Hague to run this unprecedented Republic ending lawfare against President Trump.
Jack Smith could go testify and say that he had all the evidence and he had all the goods to take down Trump, he didn't. And to the contrary, there is very strong evidence He participated in a blatant criminal conspiracy against rights under 18 U.S.C. Section 241. We have very publicly on this show called for a grand jury down where they did the Mar-a-Lago raid in Fort Pierce, Florida.
That grand jury, there's a new grand jury getting impaneled in January. My good friend Jason Redding-Quinones is the new Miami U.S. attorney, and I would say to Jack Smith, you better lawyer up, buddy, because if there's anyone on this planet who deserves to get justice, it is Jack Smith.
I just want people to know they're just not going to sit here and agree with us. I mean, today his opening statement was up in your grill, right, up in your grill, and the media is piled in the back of it. The Washington field office for the FBI is a festering nest of vipers that hate Trump, hate Trump. And they said there's no probable cause here.
I mean, the evidence is overwhelming about Jack Smith, but I just want people to know this ain't going to be easy. They're not going to go down without a fight here, right? Jack Smith's their guy. He's their boy, right? And Jack Smith came in. He let you know today he threw down. Now, have you heard anything about how
the deposition went or how the investigation or the questioning under oath by the House Judiciary. Do you have any feel for how that went? Because the opening statement, you could tell he ain't backing off. Now, I heard he was rope-a-doping a lot, but do you have any insights?

Chapter 4: What new information has emerged regarding Ella Cook's situation?
I would say cheers to FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. He's a warrior. He's a friend. He went to the FBI for a short stint to bring much needed, bold, serious reforms to the FBI. He never intended to stay. Beyond January, he's told me that privately for many, many, many months. He left a lot of money on the table to go do this government service.
He's going to go back and play a crucial role on the outside by continuing his conservative media, his podcast and other media outlets that he runs to make sure that we have more warriors on the outside. This is This has always been Dan Bongino's plan, and we should thank him for his service.
Mike Davis, you have been absolutely brutal in your treatment of Fannie Willis from the very beginning and every day that she was up there. Today, she kind of had to face the music a little bit. It was almost a freak show. I was so blown away by her demeanor and some of her statements.
Number one, the audience who's done this journey with us, Fannie Willis said categorically she is the finest, I think, district attorney in the Southeast United States. Mike Davis, your thoughts?
I would say that poor Nathan Wade, apparently Nathan Wade had to buy her that fake rabbit fur coat that she wore into the court to the Georgia Senate hearing today. She went in there. She was defiant. She was telling the Georgia senators that. Their questions were so-called dumbass and some other things that Big Fanny was saying. Big Fanny is a train wreck. She's always been a train wreck.
And she clearly committed crimes with her bogus prosecutions of President Trump and his aides and his allies related to their lawful objection to the 2020 election.
election again which which is permitted by the electoral count act of 1887 along with the first amendment big fanny uh she got into big trouble on this prosecution because she hired her dumb unqualified boyfriend nathan wade who who she defended today she paid him it was like 250 an hour seven hundred thousand dollars in fulton county funds She took these lavish trips.

Chapter 5: Why are local and federal authorities criticized in this case?
Big Fannie Willis was corrupt. She hired her dumb, unqualified boyfriend, Nathan Wade, paid him $700,000, took illegal kickbacks in the form of these lavish trips to Belize, the Caribbean. She's a gray goose girl, Big Fannie told us. She said that she went Dutch and she...
Her boyfriend, Nathan Wade, she paid him back cash that she learned from her Black Panther father because she kept cash in her mattress. But she couldn't explain how she replenished that cash to keep that cash around her house.
Remember, always $10,000. It was one of the most illuminating parts of her testimony. Her father said, always keep $10,000 in cash. Said like a true pirate. Always keep $10,000 in cash in the mattress. You never know in the middle of the night when you're going to need it.
I mean, she is a big fanny is a disgrace. And it is shameful that her big ass is walking around on the streets right now. These Georgia prosecutors should indict and indict today. The federal prosecutors should indict and indict today. She committed perjury. She obstructed justice. She lied. She committed fraud. She conspired. What the hell are these prosecutors?
prosecutors doing in Georgia, both state and federal, to let this big tub of lard walk around and be defiant like she is today. Put her fat ass in prison.
Mike, tonight you're a son of Iowa and you had two of your best came home today to Dover en route to Iowa, two of our bravest National Guard from the Iowa National Guard. What would you like to hear from And what do you think it's necessary for the nation to hear from the president of the United States tonight, sir?
Yeah, first of all, I send my condolences to my fellow Iowans on these fallen service members, to their families. It's tragic, but something that we need to remember, and we're seeing this all over our country. We're seeing this all over the world. We are at war. with these Islamists. They are trying to destroy the West. They're trying to destroy our way of life.
We need to get Islamists the hell out of the West, out of Europe, out of the United States, ASAP. This is not a war that we started. This is a war that's been brought to our soil, and we need to treat it like a war. We need to get Islamists out. the hell out of America, the hell out of the West. And we need to make sure that these judges get the hell out of our way when we do it.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the failure of Republican leadership discussed?
Mike Davis, where do people go to get the viceroy, sir? Social media and Article 3.
article3project.org, article number 3project.org. You can follow us on social media, donate, but only what you can afford. But again, the War Room Posse's superpower is action, action, action. And Merry Christmas to the Posse. Happy holidays. And thank you for everything the Posse does.
Thank you, Mike Davis, one of our leaders. Thank you. Reporting Dan Bongino, it's official Dan Bongino has tendered his resignation as deputy FBI director to the president of the United States. Julie Kelly joins us now. Julie, you have waited a long time for the beginning of the process of both Jack Smith and Fannie Willis. Let's start with Jack Smith. He's defiant today. He hears you.
He hears Mike Davis and he doesn't care, right? He's heard all your analysis, read all your stuff. Here's you're in the war room. He doesn't care. They're down for a fight. Are they not, ma'am?
Yes, they are. And, uh, of course we know, and I reported on this Jack Smith leaking his opening remarks to, uh, friendly news organizations who posted what he was going to say behind closed doors, which was the defense of both his January 6th indictment and the documents case against the president.
I heard that, um, he was very arrogant in the proceedings, which is not a surprise because that's how we've seen him conduct himself for years. Um, he appeared very haggard apparently. So maybe that's a good sign that this is wearing him down.
But this has to be step one, Steve, in the accountability, pulp ability for Jack Smith and his team of thugs for what he put this country through for almost two years after his appointment on constitutional appointment, by the way, by attorney general Merrick Garland. So I'm sure we'll get more leaks tonight.
We already saw Jamie Raskin make a comment saying that he was schooling House Republicans on both indictments. I highly doubt it.
Hang on. No, no. I want to be blunt. MSNBC and Raskin and that whole crowd, the whole thing about the Washington field office, you know, we know they're never Trump. They blew it off. This is a fight. And people got to understand we lose the midterms. Jack Smith is going to be one of the senior guys on Raskin's staff. I cannot let this audience know how not just intense, how important this is.

Chapter 7: How does the podcast analyze the actions of Jack Smith and Fannie Willis?
Minnesota is just the tip of the spear, the, the, that what's getting everything opened up, you're hearing now all over the country, this goes far and wide. Our welfare programs that have been robbed blind by these illegals and not just Somalians, maybe, this stuff goes far and wide. And, you know, bringing that up, and then the economy, I hope, you know,
He gives people hope because there's a lot of people that don't believe it's moving good. There's some people believing it is going great. And maybe he reveals new things that need to come out. You know, one of the things I've said, we've got to get our shipping prices down. It affects every consumer thing we buy from groceries to products. And that becomes the price of diesel fuel.
And there's so many regulations that were put into place over the last 10 years that That he's got to be looked into, but he's done it before we brought those prices down. So I hope he gives us a great message here of hope. And then also Steve election platforms. I know he even announced it the other day. He's got big news coming out about the.
And you guys, not just about the 2020 election, about all of our election platforms to secure them. There's a poll coming out tomorrow, I believe, by Rasmussen that is how do the people feel in this country about how high up are our elections, secure elections? And I did one in Minnesota in August, and it was in the top three of their concerns as me running for governor.
And Steve, I think you're going to find out everyone in this country, I don't care if you're Democrat, Republican, you want secure elections. And I hope that that's in his messaging tonight because he has really hit that hard. I know this for a fact over the last eight months. Well, actually, for four and a half years, as you know.
So I think I just hope it's a great message of hope and uniting the people. Tonight, I think that people, because he's fighting here in Minnesota, he's fighting all the stuff going on here, all the fraud. Then you've got Waltz and all these people coming out going, nothing to see here, nothing to see here. We're going to ban guns. That's Waltz's new one. We're going to ban guns.
People need to hear his voice and the truth of what's going on and then get the hope. I think that's really important that the message gives people hope.
We're going to talk to the Charlie Kirk show now with Andrew Colvette and the team. They've got posts of them coming up. We're going to be back. You've got Gruber. You've got Eric Bolling. All of it starting at 5, wall-to-wall coverage. Speech starts at 9. We'll turn to the speech afterwards. We're going to have all the analysts and folks that are close to Real America's Voice on.
We're probably going to go until we run out of things to talk about, which will be, I don't know, 11 o'clock. But stay tuned to Real America's Voice all day. Mike Lindell. They love the fact of what you're doing. The posse has your back. You've been so impressive. I got to tell people, around the globe, the world media is taking this 100 times more seriously.
