Steve Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Reasons I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people, the people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
Jan Jekielek
And where do people like that go
Steve Bannon
to share the big lie?
Forrest Zhang
MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul,
Steve Bannon
I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. WAR ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Sunday 15 March Everlord 2026 Sam Fadis, a lot of words of guidance there. It's just for programming for folks to know. We're trying to figure out right now our partners at Real America's Voice. We're going to try to do nonstop coverage. If they make them argue through the night because this will be quite historic, the simple fact that they'll force the Democrats to and they're going to try to weasel out of this. So there's so many moving pieces, but we're covering it. Supposedly come to the floor sometime on Tuesday, maybe Wednesday, maybe Thursday. Thursday. But there looks like there could be some showdown here. Part of this is driven by the brilliance of Ken Paxton and what Ken Paxton did to corner the rat John Cornyn. Right. And now Cornyn is all for, he's all for the standing filibuster. I mean, this guy is such a phony, it's unbelievable. But it looks like something is going to happen. It may not be a standing filibuster, but as you heard from Mike Lee, it looks like it could be and it's going to be something. And so we're going to cover it, not stop the lead up to it. We're going to also get a ton of grassroots leaders and voices on here in that time to talk about what's going on in their states and how important this is. And so, you know, from Arizona to Pennsylvania and everything in between, we will cover this wall to wall as we're also covering the war and our seven day a week coverage because so much happens on Saturday night or during Saturday and yesterday was a massive day of, of actual kinetic war, particularly in Tehran, another massive bombing run. And, and then the asymmetric part of it also. So so much is going on. Such a complex nature. Getting some of that particularly the geopolitics with with China. Forest Zhang joins us now. Forrest, you're the one of the leaders of the new federal state of China three years ago today, Miles Guo and Miles did more than any single person to warn the United States of America about the threat of the Chinese Communist Party. The one thing Miles did that I think was most brilliant when he came to the west was he would tell people constantly, you've got this basically wrong and you keep saying it wrong. You say that it's China are like the Chinese people. You are not at war. The existential threat to the United States of America is not the nation of China and it is certainly not Lao Beijing. It's not the Chinese people the threat, the existential threat to the United States of America and the citizens of America. And this threat is the number one threat nothing else compares to. It is the Chinese Communist Party because that is also the number one threat to the Chinese people. And Miles will go out of his way to say, hey look, there's been 400 to 400. He would actually say 400 to 500 million forced abortions, 80% of little baby girls in addition to at least you can calculate a quarter of a billion outright murders, execution, starvation that they've done. So you could add up close to 600, 700, 750 million of their own citizens. They've slaughtered. They've slaughtered. He says no dictatorship in the world, no regime in the world, no imperial power in the world against their own people has been this savage. So how do you think they're going to be with you? So today you're commemorating the new federal state with programming throughout the day of Miles Guo of three years since he was basically kangaroo courted to make sure that they shut him up as an asset to call out the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and to speak the truth to power and tell the American people exactly what the Chinese Communist Party has in store for the Chinese people in the United States of America. Forrest, your thoughts and observations on this day of three years in on this.
Forrest Zhang
Yes, that's okay. First of all, Miles is 100% right. That's why he's so effective. That's why he's the number one enemy of ccp, which is also agreed by DOG in their stipulation. Number one, if you look at the case, unfortunately, Miles is still at MDC because of what? Because he exposed ccp. Because he telling the truth. That's why he's in DOG MDC at the moment. That's why we need to protect him. This is not justice. This is a legal warfare. This is a weaponized legal system against the people who's trying to bring the freedom and the democracy to Chinese people and also trying to save the free country in this world. That's why he's so important. So we need to free Miles because CCP feared him the most.
Steve Bannon
But hang on, but hang on, hang on, hang on one second. I just want to make sure there's two reasons. One, the CCP fears him. But Miles was also absolutely instrumental in making sure people got access to and understood the depth of Hunter Biden's association with the Chinese Communist Party. As President Trump said and everybody said, if this was fully known and remember the FBI got the laptop from hell in November of 2019, if Chris Wray and Barr had come forward where you had this material, which in a ten minute cursory review because Rudy and Bob o' Connor brought me into this to view it. You realize how deep and that was in July of August, I think of 2020. You realize how deep the Biden family's corruption is with the Chinese Communist Party. And then the intelligence community, the deep state lied and went to the New York Times and wrote a big letter and said this was all Russian disinformation. We know all that's a lie. It was Miles Guo that was absolutely essential in making sure that that got platformed through all of his platforms and also more details than any Westerner would know. We knew, we knew. You look at the documents and redo it as we did and promoted on War Room and other places. It's one of the reasons they came after us. But they really had to take Miles out. So it's not just calling out the ccp. He called out the Biden absolute corruption and sellout to the Chinese Communist Party which the deep state then lied about came out and bald faced lied about and Biden bald faced lied about it on the debate. And there's absolutely no chance that Biden would have even been able to steal the presidency if that had been fully exposed as it should have been and not thwarted by the deep states media figures.
Forrest Zhang
Forrest Absolutely. That's why a couple weeks ago we talked about the control of the election in this country. That's ccp. If you look at their control of the media, look at their control of the Capitol. They always use the media to attack and also help Biden election. That's their control. Also the virus, we think about the virus, how they changed the election back in 2020, that's essential. If we look at all those Connected all those thoughts together. We know CCP is controlled election in this country. Who, who tell us the control of CCP. Who tell us who exposed their plan 3F plan, BGY plan in the US that's Miles, that's NFIC. And you sir, that's why he's so important. That's why CCP are afraid of you and Miles. That's why he's still at prison because they want to silence him. But think about it. If they can silence the number one enemy of ccp, nobody is safe in this country. That's why we need to free Miles. We need to protect all the people who's helping this country. Who's the truth teller? We need to protect them and work with them because we know like we look at Iran right now who can really change the country. It's the people inside the country who understand the country. New federal state of China Miles also like General Zhang, General Liu, they understand China. They are the real people fighting for the freedom of of Chinese people. They want to completely taking down the Chinese Communist Party. We need to protect those people and to support those people that will bring the real change to the world. Because taking down the CCP is not about China, it's about the whole world.
Steve Bannon
Exactly. It's the deep state and the folks in bed with them and collaborators John Solomon has been hinting at. But I think we can reveal that in the next week or two there should be if everything progresses as it's progressing, as John Solomon has told us with his investigating reporting that there will be revelations that are come through our security apparatus that there was has been foreign involvement in these elections, particularly in 2020 and that you know, there may be Venezuela maybe other people, other things there with the machines, et cetera but there will be I think overwhelming evidence that people will be able to chew on about the Chinese Communist Party. Well who warned us about that five and six years ago as Miles Guo the evidence that you will see coming out as done by third party intelligence apparatus at DNI, CIA etc. Will confirm what Miles Guo told you five years ago. So why is he rotten in a federal prison? It's quite simple. It's the same way if the Democrats take back over folks take your number two pencil and write this down. They're going to want to put a lot of people in federal prisons. This is the way they roll. This is why they've had three assassination attempts on Trump. These people play smash mouth and they play hardball. So everything that Miles toward and they said oh he's a crazy man. War room's crazy. They're crazy. We weren't crazy. A. We were proven right about everything we said about the pandemic. We were proven right. We're being proven right about everything we said about the 2020 election. And Miles Bo was there in both of those. And what. And the reason he's in federal prison is because it was a kangaroo court that sent him there. That of haters. And not just Trump haters and MAGA haters, but people that hate the United States of America and want to make sure that anybody that actually warns people about anything are locked away forever. The evidence that's going to come out is going to reconfirm what Miles Guo told you five years ago. So the laptop from hell about the Chinese affecting our, our elections. They're our mortal enemy. That's what he said. You're not waking up. Your business community, Wall street, your tech community, your universities, everybody's in business with them because they're writing big checks. And we know in modern America, if you write a big check, there are people here in this country that will be in business with you. We know this about the Islamic invasion in Texas. If you write a big enough. In the, in the, in the Muslim Brotherhood and the nations doing this, understand it. There's certain elements in our society are just flat out greedy. And if it's, if they can create wealth and value for themselves, they don't give a damn about the country. And the people that try to stand up for it and point it out are the ones that torment it most. Forrest, your observations.
Forrest Zhang
Yeah. So again, that's why Mao's is so important. Sir, you are important. All that so called crazy talk is not imagination. It's not storytelling. It's based on the information and the intelligence that Mao's and his fighters in China, that, that's the intelligence. That's why it's so accurate. That's why it can be verified and has the evidence to support that. And I think it's long overdue. We have to hold all those enablers for CCP in this country. We have to hold them accountable. And also to protect all those people like Miles, Free Miles, and also help all the people who's telling the truth, who's protecting the freedom and the democracy in this country. Communists cannot coexist with this free world. That's why what we're seeing in this country is purely the communists we talked about the billionaires hiding in Shanghai, funding all this chaos happening in the U.S. that's communist. The extreme the far left is nothing but Communist. So that's why I think we see all over the world at the point people realize that normal people realize Communist Party is the enemy of a human being is the enemy of their own people. Just like you just said, the CCP is the biggest enemy of Chinese people. They killed more Chinese people than anybody else. So that's why we need to take down the Chinese Communist Party, frame our school and save the whole world.
Michael Walsh
Sir.
Steve Bannon
Faris, where do people go today to get your programming? Where do they go to get new federal states?
Forrest Zhang
Sir, they can find us on IFIC TV at gatar. NFIC speaks at Gatar and NFIC speaks at X.
Steve Bannon
Forrest, I look forward to streaming your programming today and talking to you later. Free. Miles Guo, take down the ccp. Sir.
Forrest Zhang
Thank you.
Steve Bannon
You're going to see when this information is released. The Chinese Communist Party has had an active role in trying to drive elections to people that are collaborationist. This country didn't get in the shape it's in by just. Oh, that's just what happened. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. People have been actively working to take down this republic. Actively working. Short commercial break. Epic times. Next.

Jan Jekielek
Kennedy Center, 6:00pm we actually have been upgraded to the concert hall. It's going to be Rob Schneider and myself talking about my new book, Killed to Order. It's about China's murder for organs industry. Kind of an unbelievable thing. They actually expanded the space into the concert hall now, so there's actually 2,000 spaces. Entry is free, although you do have to grab a ticket. You can RSVP@guestedtoorderevent.com killedtoorderevent.com and the one way to get a book is actually the first thousand people in the door will get a book. The other way is, of course, on Amazon.killtoorder.com that link will take you right to the book. And the book's already shipping. It's coming out, officially published on Tuesday.
Steve Bannon
I want to make sure the Warren posse understands, particularly people in the greater D.C. metropolitan area. This is totally free. Sponsored by Skyhorse War Room Books. The War Room Epoch Times, everybody. We felt it was important enough to actually see Jan in person, to go through this, to see what murderous savages are against the Chinese people, Lao Baijang. And think of what they got storing for you, this book. And some people say, well, look, I've heard about organ harvesting before. You ain't seen it like this. Jan's been on this for 20 years and I don't want to give up too much in the book, but the book's like reading a horror novel. It's unbelievable. But you have to understand it to understand the depravity. That's why at Kennedy center, remember, Kennedy center is winding down. In fact, I think some of our friends are sponsoring the Polish folk dancing and folk music in April, which I think is actually the last event. And we're going to be a sponsor of that and help that because we so believe in it. But this is one of the last events at Kennedy center as they wind down to go to the two year hiatus to redo it up to President Trump's standards, or I should say the Trump Kennedy Center. But this started in a smaller venue because we didn't know. But there's been such an overwhelming demand for tickets that now they've gone to the concert hall. So we're now in a 2000 seat venue. We want to sell it out and we can get there because it's totally free and you get a free book. Nothing's better than that. Once again, Jan, give all the information about where people go today to sign up for this.
Jan Jekielek
So it's@killedtoorderevent.com that takes you right to the Kennedy center page where you can rsvp. And basically with the books, it's kind of like whoever shows up first comes in through the door, picks up their tickets at will call and basically goes in. It's general seating in there and it's just an incredible space. And the other thing is, you know, Rob Schneider, he, I actually got caught him doing standup about this issue. He really cares. That's why he got involved. So it's, it's amazing to have his voice behind, you know, actually an opportunity to make a real difference and at least end our complicity, America's and frankly the West's complicity in this horrible, horrible industry. And of course we'll talk about exactly how it works, how it's kind of next level compared to your typical also horrible organ trafficking. And also as you pointed out, Steve, that it's sort of, it's the lens to really understand how the Chinese Communist Party operates. Not just how it treats its own people, which is horrific, but also how it views us.
Steve Bannon
But on a Sunday morning though, I get, I'm jammed for time. But you're special because of the great work you do and you're so self effacing. But give me just a minute on why for 20 years of everything you cover, because American thought leaders, your show is great. The Epoch Times is the best broadsheet in the country. You're one of the best reporters in the country about this topic. Of everything that was out there. Why were you so obsessed that this became your obsession for two decades until this book comes out? And now actually to promulgate the book, why were you obsessed with this topic above all others?
Jan Jekielek
Well, one of the top researchers on this issue, David Matus, called it an evil yet to be seen on this planet. And you know, my father in law was a Holocaust survivor. I've just been interested in the issue of mass atrocities for a long time. And this is kind of a hidden mass atrocity. We're talking to 60 to 90,000 transplants a year. And that's actually a conservative boundary, right? Like we're trying to be really, really conservative about how we talk about these things so no one can kind of undermine it. The only way the CCP has ever really responded to this, never with substance, just attack the messenger. That's the standard thing. Right. And the worst part is even when I first heard about it, I didn't want to believe it. My mind didn't want to go there. And when I would talk to people about it, they would basically like clue out mentally in the middle of conversations. But today I think maybe through Covid, through a whole bunch of things, I feel like the social consciousness, the collective consciousness has shifted and I feel like people are ready. People say this is horrible when they realize how this is extreme. And of course this is. Well, I maybe don't have the time to explain how the whole thing works right now, but it's an evil yet to be seen on this planet and we can at least not participate. And there's just really good ways we can do that. There's even a bill now actually bipartisan, that has come out as a testament to this Ted Senator Cruz, Senator Mark Lee, the Falun Gong and victims of Forced Organ Harvesting Protection Act. Now it's Senate bill they'll have to reconcile with a unanimously passed House bill. But this is on the table. This could happen, right. And so we can actually be part of that movement. And it starts on Monday night at Trump Kennedy center. Kill to order event.com
Steve Bannon
Go there now, Grace, everybody's going to put it up. It's totally free. We're looking for the War and Posse to show we got a bigger space, got the concert hall, which is just in and of itself to go as an experience. Jan, we'll see you tomorrow. You're gonna come back on tomorrow in the morning show. So Jan, thank you so much for joining us, sir. Appreciate you.
Jan Jekielek
Thanks and looking forward to that. Steve,
Steve Bannon
I asked another close friend to join us right now because one of the great writers and about this situation in Texas with the Islamic invasion and this war, I think we need to address this. I think we need to address it at a deeper level. Michael Walsh, you join us. Michael, you became beloved by this audience for your books about sieges and the great battles in history. And really understanding your writing is so vivid and urgent. The third book in your trilogy, or at least it's going to be a trilogy now. It could expand later. Your third book in the trilogy is actually to address this situation between the west and Islam. Can you talk to us about that?
Michael Walsh
Sure. It's going to be called the Wrath of God and it is the sequel in a sense to my book Last Stands, which you really made so popular among the war room audience. And the follow up to that, a Rage to Conquer. So this book is specifically about religious warfare from the time of actually Megiddo, which is Armageddon, the very first battle in recorded history, through the Israelite Canaanite wars, through the Crusades of the Middle Ages, to the French Revolution and to the Forever wars, which is our forever war with Islam, because Islam comes into this story, of course, in the seventh century and then it is a recurring factor throughout the years. Now we've been what, 1700 years?
Steve Bannon
Michael, why? Why is that when you get, when you get to 600. When you get to 600, it's interwoven through it all. Why is that?
Michael Walsh
Yeah, it's immensely complicated. And now, Steve, I understand why they chose the word Byzantine to mean immensely complicated stuff, because it's Byzantine literally. You had two great empires, the the Eastern Roman Empire, the Byzantines and the Sassanid Persians, who were Zoroastrians, more or less that had exhausted themselves in a long, prolonged conflict. And they both won and lost. They both collapsed. And at that moment, Islam comes roaring out of Arabia under the disciples of Muhammad in the seventh century and just takes over everything. The speed of the Arab conquest into Spain, all the way to Indonesia, certainly Iran, is really stunning. So we've had to deal with this ongoing threat. We, we rebalance the ledgers, so to speak, during the Middle Ages in the crusading era, which is roughly the end of the 11th century to the 13th century. But the war goes on and on and on. And what I want to say today is it's always about the same thing. And the tactics never change and the objective never changes. The only thing that changes, Steve, is, is us. We are afflicted right now by something that historians call presentism, which is we judge the actions of the past by the standards of the present. So it's very easy to condemn our ancestors for whatever crimes we wish to put at their feet, since they're not around to defend themselves. However, we cannot do that and understand the nature of an enemy. That has not changed since 700. And that is the problem we have in facing Islam because we simply refuse to take their declaration of war against us seriously. Because we don't believe in religion anymore doesn't mean they don't believe in religion anymore. And so you can't fight something that is religion. Islam, in this case, with nothing which is secular humanistic, post Christian monetary greed. You've been talking about that earlier today. That is not a way to keep a society functioning. And you know who learned that? The Byzantines learned that because one of their tactics was to always buy off their enemies if they could, since they were surrounded on both sides. To the east by Muslims as they arose, to the west by the Bulgars and the Hungarians and the Slavs and other people. They had to only fight a one fight, a one front war so they would buy off their enemies. In the end, that, that all came crashing down. As you know, the Crusaders sacked them during the Fourth Crusade and then Islam finished them off in the 15th century. But we don't seem to want to learn these lessons, Steve. And one of the reasons I've, I've written this particular book is to explain how this recurs, recurs and recurs. It's not so much a narrative as its eternal recurrence. And it's wonderful that the very first battle in human history, that is one in which there was an actual reporter there at Megiddo to write about it, has given Its name to Armageddon, which would be the last battle.
Steve Bannon
Michael, hang on for one second. Michael Walsh is with us. His new upcoming book on religious wars.
Show Announcer
Short break.
Steve Bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. Okay, we're. We're jammed and we got some special stuff to go through, but Michael Walsh, real quickly, just this bugs me no end. When Islam was created by Muhammad and the others around him and came out in the 7th century and within 100 years had taken over the great civilizations of Egypt and Babylon and Syria and Persia, ancient civilizations, and then went to Spain and by the way, tours, you know, we barely beat this thing off. You know, without Charles Martel the hammer, right, we would have been. The French, would have been Islamic centric. What they've done in the last 30 or 40 years is actually more breathtaking. People have to put in historical perspective. They've essentially taken over a big part of Europe, like Paris and London.
Andy Cooney
They're deep.
Steve Bannon
There's an invasion in Texas. I can tell you that as an eyewitness. They've taken over New York City. They're using prayer rugs in city hall with a Marxist jihadist. So in her historical perspective, what they're doing now, I think overwhelms what they did in the seventh century. Sir, your thoughts?
Michael Walsh
No, that's a very good point. I want to make this ancillary point. We think of this as the Arab conquest, but the Arabs didn't fight it. They just had other people fight it. So, for example, by the time they go into Egypt, which was the first place they went, they're already starting to recruit Berbers from North Africa. By the time they get to Spain, people forget how early Spain was conquered. They started that in 7 11, and that was an almost all Berber army that had been Islamicized. And then when they get into the Middle east, they take the Turks and they Islamicize them, and the Turks become their fighters. Saladin wasn't Arab. He wasn't even Turkish. He was Kurdish, but he commanded the Turkish army. So the Arabs have done a very interesting thing, is they somehow can prey on the sensibilities of the west to admire the admirable parts of the culture, the elaborate ceremony and the professions of friendship. You should see the correspondence between Saladin and Richard the Lionheart. And it's astonishing in the esteem in which they profess to hold each other. At the same time, they're capable of extraordinary barbarism and cruelty and think nothing of wiping out entire populations. But they do it through influence and money. They don't actually physically take over these places until they do. And you and I talked about when Rage to Conquer came up the last chapter of that which is so controversial but shouldn't be. I went after the Bush administration for its completely supine and ineffective response to 9 11, which leads directly to Mamdani and prayer rugs in New York City. Once Islam claims the territory, it never goes back. And they think that everyone was born Muslim but just doesn't know it yet. And it's why conversion out of the faith is punishable by death. This is a millenarian cult that wishes to rule everybody. And we've got to simply start taking them seriously and we stop being bribed by them.
Steve Bannon
Listen to Michael Walsh, folks in Texas. This is the fight in Texas. Anyway, Michael, we're having a bunch more times I'm gonna have you hang around because we're gonna go full Irish right now. Give me where. Where do people go to get your writings, your previous books, everything. You putting up commentary all the time on politics. You were one of the. Michael was the original. One of the original r. The original political editor from Andrew Breitbart. Where do people go to get all your writing, sir?
Michael Walsh
Well, they're all on their books now. As. As we talked last time, Steve, I. I've decided the Internet is. Is. I'm kind of regret having started this with Breitbart when we launched Big Journalism and the other sites all those years ago, because it's turned into such a disinformation apparatus. And anyone can post under any name and post anything, and suddenly it's a meme culture now. So I'm. I'm back to books. I'm writing my books. I'm going to finish the Wrath of God and we'll be out in 2027. And I'm performing a lot. I'm going to be on a concert tour again in Europe this year, as I did last year, and I should announce that real quick. We had a program set up for the Kennedy center, but it got canceled and it's being moved to the Anderson House in Washington on June 1st. All American music, including Scott Joplin and all these wonderful things.
Steve Bannon
Perfect. Where do people go to get the information on that?
Michael Walsh
We'll put it up on some websites pretty soon and I'll keep you posted on that. But it's just evolving now. So kind of excited about it.
Show Announcer

Steve Bannon
Okay, welcome back. Andy Cooney joins us. Andy, there. If you haven't had an opportunity, if the audience hasn't had opportunity to participate or enjoy the St. Patty's Day in. In New York City, and particularly the parade, you've missed one of the great cultural events in our country. Why is Everybody Irish on St. Patrick's Day, sir? Why. Why is that?
Andy Cooney
You know, I think it's the spirit of St. Patrick's Day. It just. It goes beyond all nationalities, all people, and it's just a. What can I say? It's. Everybody loves to celebrate Irish heritage and our music, just everything the St. Patrick's Day is all about.
Steve Bannon
You know, we've talked about. We've had Michael Walsh on here, a great Irishman that is one of our best writers. We've been talking about Islam, these religious wars. Do you anticipate, like, this year, I think, what's Tuesday? And then going forward in New York City, Will it still be welcomed with the open arms that administrations historically have, particularly when the Irish had a lot more of the vote in New York City and even under Rudy Giuliani, these things and Michael Bloomberg? This is a major cultural event. Do you anticipate that it's going to be the same the this year and going forward?
Andy Cooney
You know, that's a, that's a great question, and especially with the way New York has changed so much. But I. The Irish will be out. We will march. It's going to be a fabulous day as it is. No matter what's happening in the world, no matter what the Irish, everybody comes out the St. Patrick's Day. I mean, everybody does. Even during COVID they were doing it, you know, kind of virtually marching in the parade with nobody there, of course. So believe me, it's going to be packed. We're going to have a great, great day. Unfortunately, I'm on the road touring my Irish Celebration Show. I'm actually in Scranton, Pennsylvania today at the Theater at North, and I'll be in New Jersey for St. Patrick's Day at the Hunterton Hills Playhouse. So I won't be able to be there in spirit, but I'll be watching it on TV for sure.
Steve Bannon
Well, talk to us about that. Talk to about your, your show because I want to get into your music and, and, and pushing Irish culture. Mo Bannon was a Irish dancer for many, many years. In fact, she was, you know, up there nationally ranked, did it all the time. Absolutely loved it. It really had a, it was a great discipline for her sports later on. So talk to us about your show. What is it? Where do people get it and why should they go see it?
Andy Cooney
Well, our, the show that I have, the Irish Celebration Show. I've been touring with this show for about 30 years and we have Irish dance. We have a great Irish comedian with us, George Casey. We have a wonderful band that tours with us. And I do a lot of songwriting myself. I do a lot of my own Irish music that I've recorded over the years. That song, believe it or Not, Everybody's Irish on St Patrick's Day, was written by an Italian from California. His name is Darren Mazili. He actually is a. I think he's a nephew to the Lee Mazzilli, the baseball player for the Mets and the Yankees as well.
Steve Bannon
Oh, wow.
Andy Cooney
But I've done a lot of recording over the years, so I love bringing my music and the spirit of our show, the Irish Celebration, all around the country. So we end up in Middletown, New York, at the beautiful Paramount Theater. And that's going to be on the 21st. So then go to Andy cooney.com and that tells you everything I do. We do a big cruise every year. You wouldn't believe this, Steve. We bring over a thousand Irish on the cruise. Imagine, over a thousand Irish on one ship. It's.
Steve Bannon
Hang on, hang on.
Forrest Zhang
That.
Steve Bannon
I thought that's, I thought that's how we got over here. That is like is that time in hell? No. A thousand Irishmen on a cruise.
Andy Cooney
Instead of, instead of. It's, it's a whole lot of sunscreen,
Michael Walsh
I'll tell you that. Steve.
Andy Cooney
We, we actually run out of sunscreen before we run out of booze on this course. And we have the, the great running comes with us. We have a bunch of Irish fans and oh, wow. Good fun.
Steve Bannon
Wow. Let's put that up again. Where do people go to get, to get your show, to get the cruise, all of it.
Andy Cooney

Steve Bannon

Great ball player for the Yankees and the Mets. Andy Cooney. Thank you. Thank you so much. We're going to go out with the song Everybody's Irish on St Patty's Day. Michael Walsh still with us.

A special for the war and posse, and that's your special number. Michael Walsh, you're one of the great living Irish writers, a bunch of bestsellers in back of you writing a book now about religious warfare. You split your time between Ireland and the United States, do you not, sir?
Michael Walsh
I do. Yeah. I rebuilt my great grandmother's birthplace in County Clare, Ireland. I'm heading back over there this week. I'd like to just tell the audience, because I know a lot of them know this, that today would have been my late daughter Claire Walsh's 37th birthday. She was born on March 15, the ides of March, and she is. Her ashes are buried on the property in Ireland. So it's, it's still a very special place to us, but it is under assault.
Steve Bannon
But we're, we're losing it. Under assault.
Michael Walsh
Yes, we are. Tell me why. Yes, because, because of, I would say the smart ones got on the boat and the dumb ones stayed home, which, which is what the diaspora tends to say about Ireland. The government there is very mediocre and open. Is, is as lefty as you can possibly get outside of Minnesota, I suppose. I suppose they are importing Central Africans and North Africans as fast as they can. And they have put ads in the papers telling people to come to Ireland. You'll get free housing, free this, free that, free this, free. It's causing immense social change in Dublin, which was never a very nice city but is now a dump and has seriously affected the Ireland that Mr. Cooney and you and I prize in our ancestral memory and sometimes in our actual memories. So we've, we, we are hoping to get some kind of change in the Irish political system that would allow someone like Donald Trump to actually rise in that system and make systematic change. We're looking very difficult. It's run by our Tammany hall racket
Steve Bannon
Racket. Michael, thank you so much. I'm gonna have you on here. Talk about that more. Maybe when you get to Ireland we'll address it. Thank you, sir. And thank you for joining us today. You know, I don't know if the Bannons were the smart ones, but they were certainly among the tough ones. I think that's why we survived here. But I'm not going to say that smart ones all left and the dumb ones stay behind because we were plenty tough. Don't know how smart the clan was. Let's play. It's a. It's a blizzard in Minnesota, so we're not going to go live to the factory floor, but we are going to show you Mike Lindell on the factory floor. Let's do it right now.

Steve Bannon is joined by Forrest Zhang (new federal state of China), Jan Jekielek (The Epoch Times/American Thought Leaders), Michael Walsh (author/historian), and Andy Cooney (musician), converging expert geopolitical and socio-cultural analysis.
“If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.” – Steve Bannon [00:30]
Guest: Forrest Zhang, New Federal State of China
Theme: The existential threat of the CCP, Miles Guo’s imprisonment, and the CCP’s influence on U.S. politics and society.
Miles Guo’s Legacy & CCP Threat:
“Miles was absolutely instrumental in making sure people got access to and understood the depth of Hunter Biden's association with the Chinese Communist Party.” – Steve Bannon [05:49]
“This is not justice. This is a legal warfare. This is a weaponized legal system against the people who’re trying to bring freedom…” – Forrest Zhang [04:49]

| Timestamp | Speaker | Quote | |-----------|---------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 00:02 | Bannon | "This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we’re going medieval on these people." | | 04:49 | Forrest Zhang | “This is not justice. This is a legal warfare. This is a weaponized legal system against the people who's trying to bring freedom...” | | 05:49 | Bannon | “Miles was absolutely instrumental in making sure people got access to and understood the depth of Hunter Biden's association with the CCP.”| | 07:43 | Forrest Zhang | “If they can silence the number one enemy of ccp, nobody is safe in this country. That's why we need to free Miles.” | | 09:31 | Bannon | “There will be...overwhelming evidence...about the Chinese Communist Party...the evidence that's going to come out is going to reconfirm what Miles Guo told you five years ago.” | | 19:38 | Jan Jekielek | “One of the top researchers on this issue, David Matus, called it an evil yet to be seen on this planet.” | | 23:23 | Michael Walsh | “We simply refuse to take their declaration of war against us seriously. Because we don't believe in religion anymore doesn't mean they don't.” | | 24:53 | Michael Walsh | “We cannot do that and understand the nature of an enemy. That has not changed since 700.” | | 27:57 | Bannon | “They’ve essentially taken over a big part of Europe, like Paris and London...there's an invasion in Texas.” | | 43:23 | Michael Walsh | “They are importing Central Africans and North Africans as fast as they can... It's causing immense social change in Dublin.” | | 39:59 | Andy Cooney | “Instead of... it's, it's a whole lot of sunscreen, I'll tell you that, Steve. We, we actually run out of sunscreen before we run out of booze on this course.” |
The episode combines Bannon's urgent, oppositional rhetoric with the expertise and passion of his guests—alternating between warnings of political subversion, historic parallels, and cultural celebration, all delivered in a direct, unapologetic manner. Moments of humor and camaraderie (esp. around St. Patrick’s Day) break up otherwise intense, high-stakes analysis.
This episode brings together deep-dive discussions on CCP activities, American political crises, historical religious warfare, and Irish identity. It connects domestic and international threats to freedom and sovereignty, urging vigilance and engagement on multiple fronts. Insights are occasionally speculative and controversial, with a strong anti-CCP and protectionist U.S. stance.
