No source reports the death of Sam Fattis (the War Room associate Bannon names); the only Fatsis obituary is for a different man, Sam Fatsis of Madison who died in February 2025. The July 25, 2026 date is derived from the post's own 'Saturday' and 'Monday, 27th July', so it is not an extraction addition.

What was said

… Ask yourself, "What is my task and what is my purpose?" If that answer is the same, my country, this country will be. Say, "War Room." Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. It's Monday, 27th July, year of our Lord 2026. The great Sam Fattis passed away on Saturday evening. If anybody's virtually almost irreplaceable here in the War Room, Sam would be one of the key elements. Such a great job of representing patriots and the Mega movement from the early days of the steel in 2020. Sam Fattis became a regular on the show. …

What we found

Context. The only obituary matching the name, Sam Fatsis of Madison, died February 14, 2025 at age 101. It concerns a different person and date, so it neither confirms nor refutes the claim.[4]

Context. None of the other sources mention Sam Fattis or a death on or around July 25, 2026. The USA Today listing for Glenn R. Post, who died July 25, 2026, concerns a different person.[5]

Context. The Full Fact, AP and Snopes results are unrelated to Sam Fattis's death and do not address the claim.[1][2][3]
