WAR ROOM with Stephen K. Bannon.

Can’t tell20% confidence6 sourcesOct 28, 2026Local television stations in Cleveland, Ohio, did not feature the President's rally as the top story on October 28, 2026.Said by BNo source reports how Cleveland local TV stations ranked the October 28, 2026 Trump rally in their newscasts, so the central claim cannot be graded. The only account of the ranking is the claimant's own podcast remarks, which are not evidence, and the claim's Cleveland focus is narrower than the post's broader Ohio framing.Can’t tell30% confidence7 sourcesOct 28, 2026The President is not using Marine One to travel because the White House is being prepared for a children's Halloween special.The sources confirm the White House Halloween event was announced for October 29, 2026 and took place as scheduled, but none addresses whether the President traveled by Marine One on or around October 28 or why. The claim that Marine One was avoided because of Halloween preparations is therefore not checkable against these sources. The extraction matches the passage, which itself offers this as a passing remark.Can’t tell45% confidence9 sourcesOct 28, 2026Mary Peltola participated in a scheme to run a fake candidate named Dan Sullivan against Senator Dan Sullivan.Said by DThe sources report that the New York Times alleged Peltola's campaign and the DSCC helped recruit Dan J. Sullivan to split votes from the incumbent, and that the DOJ, Alaska's governor, and Republicans are pursuing the allegations. Peltola denies knowing anything about it, and Snopes and Alaska's News Source say they could not independently verify the Times reporting, so no authoritative source confirms or debunks Peltola's participation. The claim also tracks the post's wording closely, so no extraction departure needs flagging.Can’t tell40% confidence7 sourcesOct 28, 2026The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) continues to fund the entire Serbian operation.Said by 2BThe sources show USAID funded a 2023–2024 Serbian LGBTQ/DEI workplace program (about $1.5 million) and that USAID's Serbia mission remains listed, but none breaks down Serbia's roughly $21.2 million in FY2025 obligations by agency, so whether USAID pays for the entire Serbian operation cannot be checked. The extracted claim matches the post's wording, and the post's own "we have cut virtually nothing out of USAID" framing is the claimant's assertion, not evidence.Can’t tell30% confidence5 sourcesOct 28, 2026Over 5,000 copies of the book Why Fauci Must Rot in Prison were sold.Said by 2CNo provided source reports a sales count for Why Fauci MUST Rot in Prison, so the 5,000-copy figure cannot be confirmed or refuted. Amazon category rankings and a Substack promotional post are not sales records. The extraction is faithful to the passage, where Navarro's own words say 'over 5,000 copies were sold' in reply to a question about the NYT list.Can’t tell40% confidence7 sourcesOct 28, 2026Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook forged her mortgage papers.The sources show that FHFA Director Bill Pulte alleged mortgage fraud and that Cook's lawyers call the allegations baseless, but no court, audit, or other authority has found that she forged anything. The post itself said she 'allegedly' forged her papers, and the extraction dropped that qualifier, so the claim states as fact what the post presented as an allegation.Can’t tell30% confidence9 sourcesOct 28, 2026The independent vote in the 2026 Texas election is tracking at the same level as it was in 2018.Said by 3BNo source reports independent-voter turnout in the 2026 Texas early vote compared with 2018, so the claim cannot be graded. Sources show overall early turnout slightly behind 2018 as of Oct 27 and then surpassing 2018 by Nov 1, and analysts say Republicans need independents, but none states that independent turnout is tracking at 2018 levels. The claim is faithful to the post, which is the speaker's own unsourced assertion.Can’t tell30% confidence9 sourcesOct 28, 2026Chapter advisors can find the best insurance plan for a user's needs at the lowest cost in under 20 minutes.Said by 2BNone of the sources verifies or refutes that Chapter advisors can find the best plan at the lowest cost in under 20 minutes. The only support is Chapter's own marketing and AARP's description of its service, and the Trustpilot and Reddit reviews raise complaints about advisor conduct without addressing the timing or cost claim. The extraction is faithful to the post, and nothing in the sources contradicts the claim as of 2026-10-28.Can’t tell30% confidence5 sourcesOct 28, 2026Members of the Warren posse saved tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars collectively in fees during the first few days of the company's launch.Said by 2BThe claim is a specific savings figure attributed to Warren posse members for the company's first days, which the post makes only in a sponsor-style ad read by the host, with no source covering this company or its launch. None of the provided sources mention Chapter, the Warren posse savings, or any such launch, so the claim cannot be graded in either direction; the claim also adds a framing ("tens to hundreds of thousands" saved) that is not a precise figure in the post, though the post itself says "tens and up to hundreds of thousands collectively."Can’t tell30% confidence8 sourcesOct 28, 2026Campaign signs for Proposition 133, 134, and 135 have been stolen across Colorado.Said by 3CNo source independently documents theft of Proposition 133, 134, or 135 campaign signs across Colorado. The only coverage of the claim is the claimant's own post and a blog and tweet repeating it, and the documented sign thefts in the sources involve a sheriff candidate's signs in Vail and other candidates' signs in 2020, not these propositions.Can’t tell20% confidence5 sourcesOct 28, 2026The campaign for Proposition 133, 134, and 135 is filing charges through the City of Aurora for the theft of campaign signs.Said by 3CNone of the provided sources covers the alleged sign-theft incident or any campaign filing of charges through the City of Aurora, so the claim cannot be graded. The extraction is faithful to the post, which names the Props 133-135 campaign, Aurora, and the stealing of campaign signs, so no addition is at issue.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.Can’t tell20% confidence5 sourcesOct 28, 2026Eight campaign signs were recovered after a confrontation with an individual.No provided source covers the Aurora, Colorado confrontation in which the speaker says they got eight signs back, so the claim can't be graded either way. The claim faithfully tracks the passage, and the Thurston County and Lauderhill sign stories concern different events.
