"And I’m finally out of being a political prisoner by the Merrick Garland- Kamala Harris-Nancy Pelosi regime, okay? For standing up for my political beliefs. Against an illegitimate committee in the House that did not have a ranking member and did not have minority counsel. I went to a federal prison for four months. Now, Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris and Merrick Garland thought they were going to do two things. Number one, they were going to shut down the ‘War Room’ and not have that as a voice for the grassroots movement of MAGA in this country. Number two, break me. Well, I think you can see today I am far from broken. I’ve been empowered by my four months at Danbury Federal Prison. Why was I empowered? Because I was able to listen, to observe and to learn from working class minorities, young African-American men and Hispanic men and yes, Puerto Rican men, about what their lives are and what the queen of mass incarcerations, which is what they believe that Kamala Harris is."

"Obviously with seven days or six days left, you have to have a convergence of the get out the vote effort. I am not a huge believer in our ability to actually participate in rallies or do rallies because right now I think President Trump does great and he has people long there are going to do rallies in the different states. Our focus is one thing to make sure that we get as many American citizens, either early voting when they can or to the polls next Tuesday."

STORYLINE:
Longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon said his experience in prison was empowering because of who he met and what they had to say about Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I’m finally out of being a political prisoner,” Bannon declared at a press conference Tuesday afternoon, saying that prominent Democrats hoped to break him. “I think you can see today I’m far from broken. I’ve been empowered by my four months in Danbury federal prison.”
The experience was empowering, he said, because of who he met and what they had to say about Harris.
“I was able to listen, to observe and to learn and from working class minorities — young African American men and Hispanic men and yes, Puerto Rican men — about what their lives are," Bannon said, claiming his fellow prisoners believe Harris is “the queen of mass incarcerations.”
Bannon was released from federal prison early Tuesday and immediately resumed his full-throated support for the former president, urging Republicans to turn out in force next week to defeat Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Bannon served a four-month sentence for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
Bannon said similar things about the election and his time in prison on his pod cast and web show earlier in the day.
