War Room host Stephen K. Bannon believes that, despite his differences with the MAGA base, Elon Musk “deserves a place at the table” in President-elect Donald J. Trump’s administration—and that he can be turned into a true populist.
“Elon Musk came in and totally backed the… populist, MAGA play,” Bannon said of the tech mogul at a POLITICO event, noting how he “wrote $250 million worth of checks to back that play… not over a whole cycle, [but] in five months.” Bannon stressed that he had “said from the beginning” that Musk “deserves a place at the table” for his contributions.
“[T]his is a new coalition, much broader than 2016,” Bannon said of the current iteration of the America First movement, likening it to a “1932 FDR-type realignment in American politics.”
“[C]learly, you’re going to have members of that coalition that don’t agree on everything,” he said, readily assenting that he “fundamentally” disagrees with figures such as Musk, Peter Tiel, and Mark Zuckerberg in several areas, and “there’s going to be clashes.” However, he noted that “President Trump is particularly good about people arguing ideas, and the best idea and the best policy wins.”
Bannon believes that, so far, the MAGA base is “actually, I think we’re winning this round, and we’re winning this round pretty big.” He cited Musk having “backed off the H-1B visas,” saying they have “got to be reformed”—although Bannon’s camp wants the visa program “to be done away with.” […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
