Conservative podcast host Steve Bannon warned Americans about Democrats’ efforts to rig the election immediately after his release from a federal prison on Tuesday.

“I want to make sure everybody understands something,” Bannon said on his “War Room” podcast. “They have no intention of giving up power.”

Bannon, who completed a four-month prison sentence over his refusal to comply with demands from the Democrats’ Soviet-style Jan. 6 inquisition, spoke about three phases of electioneering that include get-out-the-vote operations, post-Election Day litigation led by Marc Elias, and “delegitimization” of the process in the event Republicans win.

“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, detest Kamala Harris,” Bannon said. “They detest her.”

“But we have a chance to move past race on November 5th,” Bannon added, emphasizing the ground efforts made by tech billionaire Elon Musk and grassroots activist Charlie Kirk to turn out the vote. “It is flat-out get-out-the-vote and that’s where this audience comes in.”

Bannon then addressed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, whose weaponized Jan. 6 probe imprisoned him over non-compliance with investigators’ subpoenas, directly.

“She sent me to a federal prison as a political prisoner to do two things … Tamp down the power of this show and also to break me,” Bannon said.

“Nancy Pelosi, take down your number two pencil and write this down,” Bannon continued. “This show has never been more powerful. The voices behind it have never been more powerful. The audience has never been more powerful, and we’re going to deliver a knock-out blow to your progressive insanity on five November and then we’re going to secure the deal after that.”

The former Trump official then pivoted with a personal message of defiance against the political prosecution against him, claiming the four months behind bars “empowered me.”

“I am more energized and more focused than I’ve ever been in my entire life,” Bannon said, “and I can see clearly just like in 2016 and in 2020 exactly what’s going on here and what we have to do to defeat it.”

But Bannon added in his message to supporters a week before Election Day, “we have to put this [race] beyond their ability to steal it.”

Bannon’s triumphant monologue capped an incarceration wherein Democrats ripped one of conservative media’s most popular hosts off air for the four months immediately preceding the election.

Several other Trump officials have similarly been fighting Democrats’ efforts to imprison them, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Trump’s former Trade Adviser Peter Navarro also spent four months in prison for defiance of a Jan. 6 subpoena and concluded his sentence in July with a speech to the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee.
