2. Department of Justice Critique and Matt Gaetz Nomination

Steve Bannon opens the episode by condemning the Department of Justice (DOJ) for what he terms as "corruption" and a lapse in the rule of law over the past eight years. He criticizes the DOJ for prosecuting political opponents and perpetuating the "Russia collusion hoax."

Steve Bannon [00:00]:
"We don't have a Department of Justice. We have a Department of Injustice."

Steve Bannon [00:00]:
"Matt Gaetz is a blowtorch and he's going to hit it with a blowtorch that it rightly deserves."

3. Critique of Democratic Senators and Merrick Garland

The discussion shifts to the Republican senators who supported Merrick Garland's nomination, labeling them as part of the corrupt establishment.

Maureen Bannon [06:18]:
"There were 20 Republican senators that voted to confirm Merrick Garland..."

Stephen K. Bannon [29:47]:
"Let's take the budget back to pre-COVID, the last budget of President Trump... If we do it now, period zero."

Bannon argues for a streamlined appropriations process, bypassing the traditional omnibus packages to implement real-time budget reductions, emphasizing the need for transparency and efficiency.

5. Military and Defense Issues

The Bannon team addresses threats against journalists and the erosion of press freedoms, citing statements from officials like Cash Patel who have alluded to targeting the media. They express concern over increased governmental surveillance and the potential for punitive actions against dissenters.

Maureen Bannon [53:XX]:
"The role that journalism has in preserving democracy and speaking truth to power..."

Bannon underscores the importance of protecting investigative journalism as a cornerstone of democracy, warning against the creation of information ecosystems that suppress alternative viewpoints.

Transcript

Steve Bannon (0:00)

Gates was nominated for this position because we have a problem at the Department of Justice. For the last eight years, they have run roughshod over rule of law in this country. They have prosecuted political opponents, they ran the Russia collusion hoax. And too many people in Washington D.C. did not stand up against what was happening there. And many Americans are upset about it. Matt Gates is one of the most effective people at fighting that Russia collusion hoax and other information operations, whether it was the Brett Kavanaugh information operation, the Donald Trump Russia collusion hoax information operation, or the one that is referenced here, which is something that the FBI and Department of justice, which hate Matt Gaetz, looked into and cleared him of any wrongdoing. The idea that this is about the issue is corruption. It's the Department of Justice's corruption. And people are sick and tired of people in Washington D.C. doing nothing as these people tried to destroy the country and getting upset at someone who actually might root out the corruption there. We don't have a Department of Justice. We have a Department of Injustice. And that's why you get Matt Gaetz as a nominee.

Mo Bannon (1:01)

This is the primal of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Reasons I got a free shot on 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.

Maureen Bannon (1:22)

And where do people like that go.

Mo Bannon (1:24)

To share the big lie?

Maureen Bannon (1:26)

MAGA Media I wish in my soul.

Mo Bannon (1:29)

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.

Stephen K. Bannon (1:43)

War Room here's your host, Stephen k. Bann.

Mo Bannon (1:52)

Saturday 16th November. Year of alert 2024. Molly Hemingway from the Federalist. Is it Sean Davis over there? I think he's done such a spectacular job. She sums it up right there. I mean, that's. In fact. Can we cut that? I want to play that again. People did nothing. This is why Trey Gowdy was with Swalwell and Shift in trying to prove that Russian collusion hoax in the skiff. We had to do it in a SCIF that the House Intelligence has. He was with them, folks. Paul Ryan, who should not be on a board as an independent director of a publicly traded company, hates Trump, didn't vote for him and wish that he lost, says it all the time. Paul Ryan removed Devin Nunez because Nunez was a defender of Trump and realized it was a hoax. Who were Nunez's two deputies? I'm going to throw some random names out. Cash Patel and Derek Harvey who are on the show all the time and two of the great MAGA warriors out there, Cash Patel, who I don't know sometime today I hope is named director of the FBI. Suck on that. Washington. Some random people, Cash Patel and Derek Harvey. Nunez was forced to recuse himself by Paul Ryan. Why did Paul Ryan do that? He wanted his lackey, his running dog, Trey Gowdy to work with Saul and work with Schiff, Shifty Schiff. Who knew that? My two lawyers, Bill Burke and Alex Spiro, two of the best lawyers around who defended me, my lawyers for that and also Don McGahn's lawyers and Reince Priebus lawyers. Molly Hemingway nails it. Nobody stood up. The guys that stood up like Mike Flynn, they were sending him to prison. The people that stood up like Navarro and Bannon later went to prison and they're whining now there's no rule of law. Matt Gaetz is a blowtorch and he's going to hit it with a blowtorch that it rightly deserves. And President Trump, just to reiterate if your number two parental broke during this, Trump took a bullet and then he won a landslide. I think I just. That is the summary. He represents the anti system forces of people that realize that we never intended the founders and framers, never intended this to be an empire and a globalist empire run by a bunch of elites that have a credentialed class, grand dunes that are all in your life, every aspect of it and worried about, woke and worried about, you know, the Russian speaking border in Ukraine. Worried about everything except what builds this nation and makes its citizens more prosperous and at peace and enjoying the fruits of liberty. He gets to pick who he wants to pick. And this is I'm telling you, and I said this the John Thune situation. You can't give them an inch. You can't give the established order. You cannot try to compromise with them whether they got a Republican on their, on their forehead or they got a Democrat. Because it's all the same. It's all the same. They work in just different ways. Mo, aren't you glad you picked today to come by and hang out and do Because I'm on a roll and now I'm going to take. You're like Dave Brown be grabbing that mic from you. The audience saying hey Steve, will you let the Girl talk.

Mo Bannon (23:01)

I want to go to the Axios thing here. Now here's a question I've got and I've been running this with a flagpole. So audience, remember at the beginning I think was Tom Nichols saying hey, it's just an entertainment age and we're so inundated nobody wants to pay attention. Your power comes from the fact you use your agency. That's why you're Always absorbing real information, right. And highly technical information. Because now we've got a working class and middle class cadre which is always at the tip of a revolutionary movement that is well informed. And you want more and we're trying to give you more. So go to Axios because they do a really good job. Vanderhay and Allen have a very detailed. I want everybody on the weekend is your weekend reading assignment. It gets a little complex. But of course, here in the war room, we're going to disaggregate this and break it down for you. They're talking about the Vivek and Elon Musk Doge efforts to cut and they're talking about, they've talked about cutting one or two trillion dollars out of the federal budget. Now all the times that you hear Republicans or Democrats talk about budgets, they're talking about over 10 years when they give you these cuts. These are all ephemeral cuts. They're all cuts back end loaded. And you know, particularly if you've ever done projections for companies, organizations that in the out years, who knows, because things change, there's no guarantee of that. There's no guarantee for the next year. So you got to pull every, to be realistic, you got to pull everything down front. The budget. The one Biden just put up that we still haven't passed is $7 trillion. Remember, we're into a government fiscal year now. It starts October 1st, okay, goes all the way through September 30th. We keep having these cars that kick the can down road. The next CR comes due essentially on Christmas Eve, on January, on December 20. So the government's going to run out of money right before Christmas. And so normally this is where they do the big omnibus package. They put all kinds of things in, like changing the Electoral Count act of 1887, all kind of nefarious stuff in the dead of night. And you just got to end up sucking on it. Right now we have, under President Trump, you have some entrepreneurs and particularly Elon, who is an expert in cost cutting. You saw that at Twitter that said they want to take on this federal government budget and they're talking about a $trillion or $2 trillion. And he ain't talking about everything he said. He's not talking about out years. He means you take the seven trillion the Biden proposes or the six and a half they just had. Six and a half they just had. He's talking about a trillion out of that. My whole point is that I think we're looking at this the wrong way. And I've been after this article came out this morning, I've actually been rolling calls. In fact, Mo had to step in here and do show prep because do a lot of prep for the show. Had to do show prep with our Evercrack team here in the war room. Saturday mornings it's a little sluggish sometimes every now and again given Friday night is a night that they may go out and have an adult beverage. Okay. So always moving a little slow. Mo does a show prep. I'm going through and rolling calls in this Axios thing. And here's where here's the way I propose we think about it. The train of $2 trillion that Vivek and Elon are talking about cutting, we haven't approved yet. It's not done. It's not a done deal. Remember all the appropriations bills that Speaker Johnson never got done? Well, that still kind of has to get done to even approve appropriations going forward. So 2 so my proposal is let's what the appropriate is now. So and it's going to take another you're either going to get an omnibus on December 20 that Trump has no control over. Are you going to kick another CR into Trump's the first hundred days of Trump's administration? I strongly recommend we do that. So then President Trump, his OMB director, his secretary of treasury, his NEC and himself and his team, including all the cabinet secretaries to get approved can sign off on this. Okay, so it's Trump's budget. In that budget working with Vivek and Elon and using the AI super collider that's going to find where this waste fraud inefficient. We don't pass it. We we cut it now. Let's not embed it into law into an appropriations and we all tell the appropriators essentially go back to well, hang on. I'll leave the audience hanging. I'm going to have a big reveal, a huge reveal. Captain Maureen Bannon, her dead convict. Bannon federal inmate, modern day Holy War. Nicole Negrady takes us out. You got something to say? Only got 18 seconds. We'll hold back when we come back. Okay. We'll be back on Real America's Voice in the war Room in just a moment. I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts. First, think back to 911 shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act. This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet. Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic intelligence and New York Times best selling author is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact, some of the guests I've had on the War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote maga, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts. I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility. Programmable money. Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past. Go to Rickards War room dot com. That's rickardswarroom dot com now to see the video.

Mo Bannon (30:45)

Yes. It's fantastic. Secretary OF hhs. So to go back to this, to go back to the. To. We should not pass if it takes another CR to get into Trump's. Trump's got to make the decisions on this budget. We're already a quarter into it. We cannot do an omnibus in December, which they're going to try to force. They're going to. They're going to want to do that. They're going to want to do an omnibus so that's what we got to fight. We have to let President Trump and his team get their hands on this. And the way to do this is to make sure that Trump's entire team gets around it. But it is absurd. Think about the logic. We're going to pass it. We're going to pass all these appropriations bills. We're going to pass it to then have Elon and Vivek then go in and cut it. No, how about this? Very simple. Let's take it back. Let's take the budget back to pre Covid, the last budget of President Trump, which I think is four and a half trillion dollars or maybe five trillion dollars. That's one and a half trillion dollars less than that. Now, if some of those expenses or costs are tied to entitlements, then you pay the entitlements because you're not going to change the law in this. Just not. And the American people are not going to back you changing the law until you can show you can get discretionary spending under control. And that would be the defense budget, and that would be discretionary social spending. You have to do that first. And I think it's quite powerful that Elon, who is a major defense contractor, leads this effort and shows us where we can cut, where the waste, fraud and abuse is in the defense budget. Because I'm sure having worked at the Pentagon and been on a Navy ship, I think there's a tad. I think there's a tad there. But I'm not so sure ways far under briefs are going to get you there. You're going to have to take out programs, which is fine. You deconstruct the administrative state, you just do less things, that's fine. But there's no need to go through this rigmarole of passing this. Then to cut. How about we do this? How about we cut for. How about we just say, hey, we don't appropriate it. If it's not passed and not appropriated, it's gone and voila, we do it in the first year. It's not Some, oh, in 10 years I'm going to have $4 trillion of cuts is all composed. That's all nonsense. It's period zero. What you do now, my logic's bulletproof. Yep. Been wrestling with this one for a couple of three years. Have added on the cuts, you know, and so Vivek and Elon should be into the appropriations process right now. And we should see from the appropriators what's, what's real and what's not real. Maureen Bannon, thoughts?

Mo Bannon (34:35)

So Elon just tweeted out. Would be interesting to hear more people waiting. But real Donald Trump, my feedback for business as usual. Scott Besson is a business as usual choice, whereas Howard Lutnick will act, actually enact change. Where's the change, Elon, that Howard Ludnick has talked about? He works at a bucket shop called Canter Fitzgerald, which is just from Wall Street. It ain't Goldman Sachs. It's not First Boston, it's not Morgan Stanley. It's kind of where Third Raiders go. I don't see where has he ever talked about change. You talk about a trillion dollars a year. I'm saying, hey, if it's there, let's do the appropriations process. I'm not saying I'm calling your bluff because I more than anybody want this done. And you seem like a great guy to do it because you cut the cost out of, out of, out of Twitter and you got Vivek. Let's do it now. Let's not wait. And no need to put the AI robot on it. Let's go through the appropriations process. I think what President Trump needs, he's got to make the call. You're going to have massive market turbulence. You need someone who I think the market, the global capital markets respect their opinion. I've never heard of anyone coming from Cantor Fitzgerald that global capital markets respect their opinion because they're considered a non event bro. Whereas Scott Besant is a guy that it seems like the people that have endorsed him are major capital markets. But hey, President Trump gets to pick who he wants to pick if he wants Lutnick that'll fine because that's President Trump's pick. If he wants besant, that's fine. That's President Trump's pick. If he wants lighthizer, that's fine. If Jamie Dimon or one of these guys come in, if he picks it, it's his pick. It's his decision. It's clearly a decision he's weighing on because it's taken a while and this has been up, but, you know, to have the guy running the transition at every day, I think it's odd that someone's running the transition, informs President Trump after he takes over the transition. By the way, I want a secretary position and I want secretary of the treasury, which is what happened is a little untoward. So I would like people with more market expertise, capital markets expertise, to kind of weigh in here. Kyle Bass, and I'm no big fan of Kyle Bass, although he's quite anti CCP Kyle Elon, which I know has nothing to do with why you're. You're criticizing him. I got issues with Kyle Bass on other topics, but Kyle Bass gives a promotion of that. And you come out against one of the biggest anti CCP guys. I just find that interest. I find that ironic, to say the least. Let's go up to Wyoming. Do I have Catherine, Are you going to go in the, are you going to go in the administration? You served in the last one. You go into the administration. Are you going to run, Are there people that run Meriwether Farms? Because rumor has it your entrepreneurial brother George Jr. Is going to step into your role as you go in to help President Trump in the government and that you're going to go help President Trump and he's going to come in and run the company. Any truth to that rumor?

Mo Bannon (41:57)

Once again, once again, I think the guys I think this House and Speaker Johnson have to get Vivek and Elon in the process now, in the appropriations process. It's no need to go through this whole deal about these appropriations process and passing this and everything to have them come in and want to cut the same thing later. Let's do it now. Let's do it down front. Elon's very and I think has come on something that we're not doing these nonsense ephemeral cuts later. I want real like any businessman, I want real cuts. I want real cuts now. And we can make recommendations on the entitlements, even on Medicaid, which I think is something you probably get to earlier, but that is so complicated. You've got to show the pot. You got to show the people you can cut discretionary. That means defense in the social programs, right? If you show that, you'll have their support on others. But that can all be done down front. And Scott, you know, Besant, Scott Besin has been very out there. All the TV Howard ought to come forward and lay out his plan. He ought to do some media and just lay out if Elon's made this case that he's not business as usual. Show us. It's a it's you know, Kenneth Fitzgerald's not the best thing about markets, but hey, if he's got ideas how to cut this federal spending and how to support Elon and Vivek's program, have at it, man. We got to cut trillions of dollars, so it's kind of open field, running short.

You also have a role in the media. You've got a very important podcast. You're a contributor for us. You write a lot. Let's talk about the particularly the attack on the fourth estate and journalism and journalists. Steve Bannon sent out a message that named us here at MSNBC and said keep your records, we're coming after you. Cash Patel, we don't know whether he's getting a position in the government or not, has said very specifically they will come after journalists. There are enemies lists that are floating around with our names on it. What do you, what do you say specifically about the role that journalism has in preserving democracy and being speaking truth to power in this moment? Well, this speaks to your last segment, which I thought was excellent because the reality is they want to create new information ecosystems that Americans live within. You know, they want platforms like X to be these kind of turbocharged vehicles for conspiracy theory, for their version of reality. And then they want to try to silence people, investigative journalists, people that are doing the kind of work to expose corruption. They want to either discredit those people. Intimidate. Thank you. So Elon has just offered to have a throwdown between Scott Besson and Lutnick on Spaces on twitter. Spaces or Xspasis. I 1000% agree with that. I think, Elon, it's a brilliant idea. Let's do it. So the sooner we can do that, I think the better. I think it would be fantastic. Couldn't think anything would be better. Also, the book, can you hold the book up again? Mo, the book has got right now. RFK Jr. Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Matt Gaetz, Cash Patel, Rick Grenell, Boris Epstein, Seb Gorga and many, many, many others.
