‘You Cannot Have a Governing Party in This Country That Calls Most of America Nazis.’

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief, Raheem Kassam, says the extreme and alienating rhetoric employed by the Democratic Party and their 2024 presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, is the “primal scream of a dying regime” and declaring over half the country to be Nazis and fascists makes governing nearly impossible. Speaking on War Room with host and former Trump White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, Kassam encouraged voters to get to the polls and vote, emphasizing: “This cannot stand any further. You cannot have a governing party in this country that calls most of America Nazis.”

“The interesting part of it, I think, is that they are fighting themselves over this fascism stuff,” Kassam tells Bannon, noting a recent spate of op-eds and public infighting between Democrats over the Harris campaign’s extreme rhetoric. He continues: “You’re starting to see op-eds pop-up in Newsweek and stuff saying ‘Look, we cannot do that, it’s not working, it’s not right, it’s not fair.'”

HARRIS CAMPAIGN PANIC?

Dissent among some Democrats over the Harris campaign’s insistence on likening former President Donald J. Trump to Adolf Hitler and his supporters to Nazis does appear to be growing. The Future Forward SuperPAC—run by Joe Biden ally and liberal messaging guru Anita Dunn—has warned the Harris campaign that focusing too much on the ‘fascism’ attacks will likely backfire and hurt the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.

Kassam goes on to note that the extreme attacks even implicate recent supporters of Trump. “And by the way, recent Americans who have come to Donald Trump—they either came through RFK, or maybe they came from Elon-world, or Make America Healthy Again-world—they’re now being called fascist,” he said, adding: “These are people three, four months ago the Democrats would have counted on their side.”

“Tulsi Gabbard was a Democrat—a Democratic Congresswoman; Robert Kennedy comes from the most storied family in modern Democratic politics; Elon Musk was a progressive and a Democrat for a long time,” Bannon interjected, emphasizing that the Democratic Party, “will go to any length to stop President Trump.”

Bannon’s Back: ‘We’ve Never Been So Powerful.’

Stephen K. Bannon returned to host the War Room after four months in federal prison, telling the establishment and the Democrats that he is even more focused than before, promising a “knockout blow” to the Democrats on November 5. The former Trump White House Chief Strategist went immediately on the offensive, pushing back at accusations that President Donald J. Trump and his supporters are “fascists.”

“I can tell you in coming from and being a political prisoner in a federal prison, that the young men in this country that are African-American and Hispanic detest Kamala Harris,” Bannon said.

Meanwhile, his message to former Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whom he holds responsible for putting him in prison, was: “This show has never been more powerful. The audience has never been more powerful. And we’re going to deliver a knockout blow to your progressive insanity on the Fifth of November.”

HIGH ENERGY.

Despite only being released hours before the October 29 broadcast, Bannon said he was “more energized and more focused than I’ve ever been in my entire life.” He noted that the Harris campaign’s ‘Joy’ message was “ill-defined” and that the Democrats have pivoted to a “Night falls on America” narrative, claiming the Trump movement is now a fascist movement. “That is a bald-faced lie, and it’s a dangerous lie,” he said.

Bannon was eligible for early release under the First Step Act in September but was kept in federal prison for his entire term after he was convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to obey the corrupt January 6 Committee.

Bannon Set for Prison Release Next Week, Bureau Confirms.

War Room host Stephen K. Bannon is scheduled to be released from federal prison next Tuesday, the Bureau of Prisons confirmed, despite Bannon having been eligible for early release for weeks, as first reported by The National Pulse.

The Biden-Harris Bureau of Prisons, however, says the October 29 date will remain, meaning he will serve the full 120-day sentence for the bunk contempt of Congress charge he faced for refusing to cooperate with Liz Cheney’s subpoenas.

Cheney, 58, is currently on a speaking tour alongside Democrat candidate Kamala Harris, formalizing the link between the two, which began with the weaponization of Congress against Bannon, a top Trump-world strategist.

The Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, where Bannon is held, cited insufficient time to arrange his transfer to home confinement in Washington, DC. This potential option for Bannon falls under the Trump-era First Step Act, which can apply to some first-time federal offenders.

Although he has almost finished his sentence, Bannon’s appeal against the conviction is still ongoing. During his time at FCI Danbury, Bannon spent much time in the prison library.

Bannon also faces a fresh legal battle in New York, where he faces fraud charges related to the “We Build the Wall” campaign. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of money laundering, conspiracy, and fraud. The trial is expected to begin in December.

WATCH: Populists Are Winning Big, But Not as Big as Expected. Kassam Asks, ‘Who Is Creating The False Expectations?’

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, believes historic breakthroughs by populist parties in Britain and France in recent days may have been deliberately undercut by the left and the corporate media setting unrealistic expectations.

In Britain, Nigel Farage’s Reform Party placed third in the national vote and returned five Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons, including, for the first time, Farage himself. However, some suggest Reform underperformed, as a post-election exit poll had put them on as many as 13 seats.

Similarly, Marine Le Pen’s National Rally placed first in the French elections in terms of the popular vote and greatly increased its seats in the National Assembly—but many politicians and commentators are suggesting the election was a failure because she did not win a legislative majority.

“It’s the same thing [as] when you had the Reform Party get that exit poll minutes [after] the UK general election wrapped, and they said, ‘Oh, they’re going to win 13 seats.” And then, of course, by the morning, it was down to five seats,” Kassam told War Room host Ben Harnwell.

“Who is creating the false expectations here? In a lot of cases, it is the left; it is the corporate media. They do this on purpose, and then they can say, ‘Oh, look, these parties are not succeeding in the way they thought they were going to succeed,'” he explained.

“Well, no, it was their expectations that were not met.”

WATCH: Kassam Predicts There May Be Another Snap Election as ‘Unholy Alliance of the Left’ Unravels.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, is predicting there could be a fresh snap election in France sooner rather than later. Speaking to War Room host Ben Harnwell, Kassam emphasized the huge differences between the far-left New Popular Front (NFP), which placed first, and the globalist-progressive Ensemble bloc, centered on President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party.

“This might actually be the saving grace… This coalition is going to be so shaky; they’re going to be at each other’s throats all the time, and they’re never going to be able to compromise with each other on a vast array of issues,” Kassam said.

“Jean-Luc Melenchon, the anti-NATO leader of the France Unbowed party, is the NFP’s leading figure. NFP does not have enough legislators to govern alone, however, and the Macronists are intensely distrustful of Melenchon. They may try to peel off other NFP parties, such as the Socialists, Communists, and Ecologists, to form a government without him.

“It doesn’t just come down to one or two things. It’s not just about the economy; it’s not just about immigration; it’s not just about ecology and the environment,” Kassam explained. “There are vast swathes of policy positions that all these separate parties that have pulled together this kind of unholy alliance of the left vehemently and violently disagree with one another on,” he stressed.

“It makes you wonder, can there even really be any form of government here? And if there can’t, well, maybe we’ll see another election. That is not beyond the realm of possibility at this point… We see this happen across Europe all the time—’We can’t get anything done, we have to go back to the people, we have to ask them to give somebody a mandate to govern,'” he added.

Bannon Imprisoned: ‘I’m Far from Dead, Baby!’

War Room host Stephen K. Bannon has reported to federal prison to begin his four-month sentence for defying the corrupt January 6 Committee. In a final War Room broadcast, the former chief strategist to Donald Trump said Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Attorney General Merrick Garland have made him a martyr—”but martyrs die, and I’m far from dead, baby!”

“What the ruling class in this country has to understand is there’s nobody they can imprison, there’s nobody they can assassinate, there’s nobody they can bankrupt, there’s nobody they can deplatform, to stop the MAGA movement,” Bannon warned.

Globally, he cited Nationally Rally’s victory in the first round of the French legislative elections, the rise of populism in Germany, and Nigel Farage’s Trump-style rallies in England as proof the populist-nationalist movement is in the ascendant.

“The message of President Trump is very simple: fight on! If we don’t stop, if President Trump continues to fight, victory is going to be ours; we’re going to win in a landslide,” he declared.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, argued that “Biden’s DOJ and their cronies” moved to incarcerate Bannon for most of the remaining election period because Bannon “actually gets people up off their couches, up off their seats; helps them to register for precinct strategy; helps them to register for canvassing and campaigning.”

Bannon says he is “proud of going to prison.”

“If this is what it takes to stand up to tyranny; if this is what it takes to stand up to the Garland, corrupt criminal DOJ; if this is what it takes to stand up to Nancy Pelosi; if this is what it takes to stand up to Joe Biden, I’m proud to do it,” he said.

WATCH: Farage’s ‘Massive, Trump-Style Rally’ a ‘Critical Moment’ for Populist-Nationalist Movement.

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, attended a “massive, Trump-style rally” for Nigel Farage and his Reform Party in Birmingham, England’s second city, over the weekend. Kassam, a former advisor to Farage, said the scale of the event was “incredible,” as “this sort of thing doesn’t really happen in England.”

“Before Nigel Farage and the Reform Party really threw their lot into this election cycle, it was sort of the same old uni-party stuff,” he explained. “Boring, from the far-left Labour Party. Boring, from the governing Conservative Party. And now you see, across the country, whether it’s in London, whether it’s in Clacton where Farage is standing, whether it’s here in Birmingham, whether it’s in the North [of England] in places like Sunderland, people are desperate for change.”

Kassam stressed that “critically,” voters are now “willing to do something about it; they’re willing to wear their politics on their sleeve.”

“This is a critical moment for the populist-nationalist movement all across the Western world,” he concluded, describing the Birmingham rally as “ground zero.”

Britain’s snap election takes place on July 4.

Is Britain’s Labour Victory a National Embrace of the Left, or a Repudiation of the Fake Right?

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has explained the British electorate is not poised to usher in a leftist government because it is embracing leftist ideology but because the ruling Conservatives (Tories) have comprehensively betrayed their base.

War Room host Stephen K. Bannon asked Kassam, a reform advisor to Brexit leader Nigel Farage, why the Brexit vote in 2016 did not “immediately not spawn a populist nationalist movement” comparable to MAGA in the U.S.

Kassam noted that Tories “usurped” Brexit after the referendum—even though most Tory lawmakers campaigned against it—and “really slow-rolled the whole thing.”

“The reason that the United Kingdom right now is pulling to the left, is pulling to the Labour Party, is not because there is this great feeling that, ‘Oh, [Labour leader] Sir Keir Starmer, this bureaucrat and his Cabinet of mostly DEI appointments, can come along and improve the country,” he explained.

“No, this election is a repudiation of the Conservative Party, of the Conservative Party’s arrogance, of the lockdown measures during Covid, of its anti-Brexit, you know, forced Brexit behavior,” he stressed.

FARAGE 2029.

Kassam said this is why Farage is “gambling” on a political comeback, seeking to break into Parliament knowing that Labour is likely to alienate the public as badly as the Conservatives have over a four- to five-year term.

“He’s got a chance then to come in and say, look, you thought the Conservative Party in government doesn’t work, [Labour] really doesn’t work, and that will lead, I think, to a major major shift,” Kassam said.

“You can sense it, you can feel it,” he said of the political mood, predicting things are “shifting” and that it will take just “one more election cycle to get there.”
