Longtime Donald Trump ally and promoter Steve Bannon is turning his influential radio show into a platform for the candidates of the left-wing populist movement.
War Room: Battleground will be on the John Fredericks Radio Network. The show will give maximum exposure to Trump-aligned candidates. The show will be broadcast in radio markets in states with some of the most competitive races this year, including Pennsylvania and Georgia.
There is an opportunity to destroy the Democratic Party in the November elections, according to a phone interview with Steve Bannon. It is the hyper-local version of the War Room.
He wants to widen the exposure of the candidates through radio, streaming, and digital media, but he won't personally make endorsements.
The Republican establishment is terrified of the populist Trump movement taking over institutions, he said.
There will be appearances from candidates from all over the country, with an emphasis on Republican primaries and races for governor and secretary of state. The show will give airtime to people running for county supervisor, county judges, and election officials, as well as school boards and Republican Party committees.
The hyper-local strategies are popular because people are volunteering like crazy.
Star News Network is a conservative Tennessee-based digital outlet with a focus on hyper-local news in 11 cities, including those in Pennsylvania, Florida, and Arizona. The War Room and the Star News Networks will work together to create an editorial agenda.
The right-wing radio market has a stronghold built by Bannon. The War Room show was launched to defend Trump from the impeachment proceedings. The cult following of far-right loyalists has been ensnared by the cult following of critical race theory and vaccine mandates, which are demonized and the claims of election fraud are promoted.
He sits at the helm of a large rectangular table in DC at least three hours a day, flanked by studio lighting and a producer or two. With pen in hand, Bannon introduces one guest after another, all of them ready to parrot the latest talking point. During a commercial break, MyPillow ads featuring Mike Lindell, apillowpreneur, and election denialist are almost always seen by viewers.
The right-wing alternative to social media, Gettr, was created by a Trump ally and has a home on it. War Room broadcasts from there, as well as Real America's Voice, and a right-wing competitor.
While he was pardoned by Trump in a fraud case, he is still in legal trouble because of his work for the former president. He was held in contempt by Congress for ignoring a congressional subpoena in the Jan. 6 riots.
Whether you are following his subpoena drama or his twice-daily broadcast, one thing is for sure: The once-ousted White House whisperer is reascending a ladder to MAGA royalty.
