BANNON DEMANDS EXORCISM, IOWA COUNCIL HALTS AFTER "HAIL SATAN" | WAR ROOM AM W STEVE BANNON | OCTOBER 8TH, 2026 (EP.#5720 & EP.#5721)
Ottumwa's Oct. 6 council meeting opened with former member Matt Dalbey's Satanic Temple invocation, ending in "Hail Satan." Pastor Rick Bick called it a curse on the city. Mayor Benjamin Foote answered with 30 seconds of silence. Steve Bannon says Midwest nice is not enough and the chamber needs a full exorcism today.
Clinton Mitchell joins after the break on the 2026 map. Election Day is Nov. 3. Republicans hold a 218–214 House and a 53–47 Senate going in.
Is a moment of silence enough after "Hail Satan" in a city council chamber, or should invocations be ended?
