Key Discussions and Insights

1. Stephen K. Bannon’s Opening Remarks (00:00 - 02:09)

Bannon sets the stage by drawing parallels between the current state of the United States and Italy’s experience with fascism. He criticizes the American populace for being uneducated and arrogant, likening the nation’s maturity to adolescence:

“Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence.” (00:45)

Bannon emphasizes the need for unity among “good men” to combat the perceived threat posed by corrupt and violent individuals infiltrating American society.

2. Alec Baldwin on Media and Information Gaps (02:09 - 04:07)

Alec Baldwin discusses the role of the film industry in filling the information vacuum left by traditional television news. He argues that narrative and documentary films are becoming crucial in educating the uninformed American public about critical global issues such as climate change and the Ukraine conflict.

“Now is probably one of the most significant times in our history since film began... to make films that will teach people about what reality is around the world.” (03:45)

Baldwin contends that television news prioritizes profit over reality, leading to widespread misinformation.

3. Natalie Winters and Sharon Stone’s Critique of the Liberal Elite (04:07 - 06:18)

Natalie Winters launches into a vehement attack on the liberal elite, accusing them of lying to the public and orchestrating deceitful narratives:

“This is the primal scream of a dying regime... But you're not going to stop it.” (04:07)

Sharon Stone questions the conscience of those propagating these “big lies,” reinforcing the episode's anti-liberal stance.

4. Sharon Stone’s Extended Critique of Hollywood Elites (06:18 - 14:12)

Sharon Stone delivers a comprehensive critique of Hollywood figures like Alec Baldwin and herself, labeling them as uneducated and manipulative agents of the liberal agenda. She argues that these elites use media and psychological operations to control and deceive the American populace, undermining true democratic values.

“They have no independent thought, have no creative thinking ability, are low IQ individuals, but they peddle a line that is disseminated and really given down to them by the Hollywood elite.” (09:30)

Stone further asserts that these individuals perpetuate harmful ideologies and contribute to moral decay within American society.

5. Democracy vs. Autocracy: Global Context (16:20 - 19:00)

Frank Gaffney and Gabor Szabo discuss the concept of “autocratic breakthrough,” highlighting how political parties in power can manipulate government institutions to remain entrenched indefinitely. They reference Viktor Orban’s Hungary as a cautionary example of democratic erosion.

“Autocratic breakthrough is when the party in power uses the power they do have in government to make sure they can never be dislodged from government.” (17:24)

This segment underscores fears of democratic decline in the United States amidst rising authoritarian tactics.

6. Biden’s Foreign Policy and the Israel-Lebanon Ceasefire (19:00 - 31:35)

The discussion turns to President Joe Biden’s recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon. Critics argue that this move undermines U.S. and Israeli interests by halting military operations against Hezbollah and Iran-backed forces.

“Joe Biden has kept basically hidden the kind of extortion that he's engaged in... the whole thing kind of grinds to a halt.” (28:00)

The hosts suggest that Biden’s policies are designed to weaken Israel’s military effectiveness, paving the way for Hezbollah’s resurgence and destabilizing regional security.

7. Marketing and External Influences (31:35 - 44:43)

Interspersed with political commentary are segments promoting various products, including gold investments and debt relief services. These advertisements align with the show's broader narrative of financial and societal crisis.

8. Conclusion and Final Remarks (44:43 - End)

In the closing segments, Bannon and co-hosts reiterate their commitment to exposing and combating what they perceive as liberal manipulation and authoritarian tendencies within the U.S. government and global politics. They encourage listeners to engage with their affiliated organizations and resources to further the conservative cause.

Transcript

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Now, Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things. You guys, you understand what happens. You have seen this before. My country is in its adolescence. Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything. Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence. We haven't seen this before in our country. So Americans who don't travel, who 80% don't have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete. What I can say is that the only way that we can help with these issues is to help each other. Now, we can't just say that women should help women because that's the only way we have survived so far. We must say that good men must help good men. And those good men must be very aware that a lot of your friends are not good men. And you can't continue to pretend that your friends are good men when they are not good men. And you must be very clear minded and understand that your friends who are not good men are dangerous, violent men. And you have to keep them away from your daughters, your wives and your girlfriends. Because this is a time when we can no longer look away, when bad men are bad.

[Alec Baldwin]

In my country, without going into significant detail, half the people in the country are happy and half the people in the country are very unhappy. It's a very difficult time in the United States. And I think the only way people can learn what is happening and film is unique in this way. Not only what's happening in the United States, but around the world. What's happening you might not learn from the news. Television news in the United States is a business. They have to make money. And again, not to go into great detail about that, but there's a hole, there's a vacuum, there is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans. Americans are very uninformed about reality. What's really going on with climate change, Ukraine, you name it, all the biggest topics in the world. Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information. That vacuum is filled by the film industry, not just the independent film industry, not just the documentary film industry, which are very important around the world, but by narrative films as well, where the filmmakers and the buyers, the studios and the networks and the streamers are willing to go that way. And they're willing to try to make films that are not only entertaining, but informative as well. So I think right now is probably one of the most significant times in our history since film began, since the film experience began. It became an art form, it became a business, a huge business. Now is probably one of the most important times in our history for us to make films that will teach people about what reality is around the world.

[Natalie Winters]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not 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.

[Sharon Stone]

And where do people like that go.

[Natalie Winters]

To share the big lie?

[Sharon Stone]

MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

[Natalie Winters]

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]

War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Bann.

[Natalie Winters]

It's. It's Tuesday the 26th of November in the year of our Lord 2024. There you saw two real beauties, two pieces of work. That was Sharon Stone, Rhodes scholar. That was the Rhodes scholar Sharon Stone and the astrophysicist Alec Baldwin talking about how MAGA that would be. You by the way, are uninformed, ignorant. I think we're going to play this. I'm going to run the sprockets off that one. It's so good. Particularly Alec Baldwin. You're uninformed about all the most important topics in the world. Climate change, Ukraine. I want to bring in my co host Natalie Winters from the University of Chicago. Ma'am, New York magazine refers to you as a sunny blonde that does wild rants. I think it was Salon or Slate said that I'm kind of. You do the rant Slate, you do the rants. I kind of draft off your rants. But so hang on, I don't want to call Sharon Stone a dumb blonde because that would give too much, that would give too much emphasis. Not enough emphasis to dumb. Can you, as a rising member of your generation that is quite informed, can you give me some observations on what you just saw of these two folks? Ma'am?

[Sharon Stone]

Of course. And I am obviously honored and humbled that Slate, they called me Gen Z Bannon, which I will certainly take that as the utmost badge of honor. I don't know why these liberal magazines are so, so intent on describing me. They're trying to portray me as a dumb blonde because it seems that there's, well, no shortages of dumb blondes on their side to pick off of. I mean we have fully transcended the ivory tower and just entered, I think the next level. Gaslighting spin zone. And obviously it's easy to get caught up in the rage, right, their whole area, you know, pseudo intellectual tone. But let's be very clear, those people on stage are a microcosm for why this show exists, why MAGA exists, why the populist right is ascendant. Because our ruling class wants to lie to us, choose the manner to which they lie to us, whether it's a press briefing from the White House, a Biden press conference or a stupid film that Alec Baldwin wants to make in the Hollywood industry more broadly. And then when the American people reject them, they have the nerve to say that it's actually our fault, we're uneducated. We just don't understand. When we voted for Donald Trump, we didn't understand what we were backing. Right? That's Alec Baldwin who's lecturing us is being uneducated. I would humbly put forth his, I don't know, record on firearms and the second amendment is maybe suggesting that he's rather uneducated. But they, I would say second only to maybe Europeans who enjoy nice pensions and taxpayer subsidized vacations and maybe the Ukrainians. They are the number one beneficiary of this horrific rules based order that we have seen develop in this country where your tax dollars as an average American citizen, a consumer of the BS that Hollywood puts out, is forced to pay into a system that subsidizes the lives and lifestyles and globalist ideologies of people like Alec Baldwin, of people like Sharon Stone. And it's your children who have to go and fight, whether it's Ukraine, whether it's in the Middle east, you name it. In the stupid warmongering causes that people like Alec Baldwin want to sign petitions for and cut nice punchy commercials for. I don't ever see their kids enlisting. And it's not just because they hate this country. It's because that's the sick part of the trade, right? It's the quiet part of the American bargain where it's the working class, the people that Alec Baldwin is basically spitting on in that speech, that stupid Q and A session that have to subsidize and pay for his lifestyle. And you know what, Steve too, I get a little annoyed with all of this moralizing right from Hollywood when they're for anyone who's so part of the Hollywood establishment to lecture us on what constitutes a good man is so beyond the pale. Right? This is the same entity Whether it's Sharon Stone, Alec Baldwin so embedded, whether it was the Epstein list, the MeToo stuff, the Harvey Weinstein stuff, even the Diddy parties, right? All of these, I would call them, frankly, if you want to go, you know what? I'll give a slate and I'll give the New Yorker what they want. If you look, all of those, I would call them psychological operations were launched after Donald Trump won as tools to keep the Hollywood elite in check from going off the reservation, much like Donald Trump did when he dared to descend down escalator. And they've used these things as tools to keep those people in place and to prop up people like Alec Baldwin, Sharon Stone, who you can see on full display, have no independent thought, have no creative thinking ability, are low IQ individuals, but they peddle a line that is disseminated and really given down to them by the Hollywood elite. And you're seeing it on full display right now. And it's why the American people elected Donald Trump. And if you don't believe me, Alec Baldwin, just look at the polling that's come out recently saying that it was Liz Cheney that essentially handed Donald Trump a victory for campaigning so much with Kamala Harri. Because the American people don't want to be lectured about what human life, what the sanctity of human life is from Dick Cheney's daughter or what constitutes good men, from people who know Harvey Weinstein, have been covering up Hollywood's pedophilia and disgusting and depravity for decades.

[Natalie Winters]

Not too shabby. I want to play again. I want you to deconstruct the history lesson, the history lesson that Rhodes scholar Sharon Stone gives us about European history. Can we replay this for a second?

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Now, Italy has seen fascism. Italy has seen these things. You guys, you understand what happens. You have seen this before. My country is in its adolescence. Adolescence is very arrogant. Adolescence thinks it knows everything. Adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant. And we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence. We haven't seen this before in our country. So Americans who don't travel, who 80% don't have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivete. What I can say is that the only way that we can help with these issues is to help each other. Now, we can't just say that women.

[Natalie Winters]

Should help women because, let me have it. I think, as a matter of fact, I think outside the Roman Republic, the 250th anniversary of Lexington and Concord is, which is what, a quarter of a millennium? Lexington and Concord is next April. I believe that technically we may be the oldest or one of the oldest republics in recorded history that actually are functioning Republic. What is she saying there? I've listened to a couple times. I can't quite deconstruct it. So can you help me out there, Natalie Winter? So what is Sharon Stone? Because I know she's not a dumb blonde, by the way. She has the same tonality of Kamala Harris. Is this the new way they speak? Is this new speech pattern?

[Sharon Stone]

Ma'am, it's quite a Herculean task to try to unpack that. I would say that's on par with Kamala's speech about the stars and the brightness. It's why she lost. But she's gonna come back and it's gonna be full circle. I have no idea what an ignorant, arrogant adolescence is. In reference to this country, I would humbly put forth, ma'am, I know you, according to Slate, don't like to knock people's appearances. I don't even have to go for the appearance on this one. I can just go with what she's saying. Ad hominem would be going below the belt when we don't need to. How about you look at the last four years of the Biden regime? You want to talk about fascism? You want to talk about a corporatist economy? I wouldn't look much further than what. Than what the Biden regime has done. Whether it's come to censorship, whether it's come to what? State industry, anything like that. But how about if you want to talk about actual history, if you look at the American Revolution and what the spirit that this country was founded on, what our founding fathers preached, the antithesis of people like Alec Baldwin, people like Sharon Stone, who operate as if they are some sort of landed aristocracy, some sort of landed elite in conjunction with the black rocks and the Chinese Communist Party, entities of the world buying up farmland. They think they're better than you. And you see it in full display when they try to explain, like the teacher in the room, that MAGA who wants to vote for Donald Trump is ignorant and adolescent and arrogant. I mean, that is three distinct and extremely offensive insults to an ascendant political movement that, I'm sorry, just knocked your candidate out of the water. And white voters aside, still did it with blacks and Hispanic. Hispanics and women, too. So maybe she should open up a history textbook and she won't have to turn many pages back, because the past is prologue, and what just happened with Donald Trump's victory undercuts every single thing that she Just said.

[Natalie Winters]

We had mansplain by Alec Baldwin and bimbo splain by Sharon Stone. Wow. Okay. Nicole McGrady takes us out with modern day they're too mean to bimbos. Wow. God. Natalie unloaded on a Tuesday here in Thanksgiving week. Okay, short commercial break. Nicole Negrady takes us out with modern day holy war. We're gonna have. Natalie's got a lot to say about the resistance, a lot to say about these, the chop blocks coming from President Trump and his program. All next. Only here in the war room could.

[Sharon Stone]

It be true that everything you're learning.

[Natalie Winters]

[Sharon Stone]

The sort of reframing going on, right? I'm sure you guys have all heard if you've watched an ounce of msnbc. Our cold opens aside, the idea that President Trump is such a radical because he's only appointing loyalists to his cabinet, that is textbook example of how they're priming, frankly, not just this audience, but the American people to view Trump not just as a death to democracy, but more importantly, as an autocrat. You heard Rachel Maddow, right? In the clips that we called open a few segments ago, the idea of authoritarianism and autocracy, that's sort of their new pivot. If you really pay attention analytically to what they're saying now, it's less about Democracy and it's more about autocracy. In other words, if they can make convincingly the case that President Trump is an autocrat, then they have not just the playbook, but they have the sort of groundwork and pretext to say, well, Democratic backsliding, we have to wage we're morally justified in waging color revolution. And frankly, I think you see it play all the way out to these people, essentially justifying assassination attempts, trying to.

[Gabor Szabo]

Make sure that he's the only source of authority in the federal government. Honestly, in terms of what to watch for next, I think we need to be watching for something that they call autocratic breakthrough. Autocratic breakthrough is when the party in power uses the power they do have in government to make sure they can never be dislodged from government. I'll give you a concrete example you've already seen in the House of Representatives. Now that Mike Johnson is back in as Republican House speaker, they changed the rules in the House to make it much harder to remove him as Speaker. Right. So that's them digging in, planning to stay for the long run. Now we're here, you're not going to be able to get us out. You've seen Trump, quote, joking, end quote, about expecting to stay in office for a third term once the second term is up. And that's of course against the Constitution. But he keeps repeatedly bringing up, bringing it up, that that's his expectation. Trump adviser, his one time campaign manager, Steve Bannon, saying things in public about how they're going to be ruling for 50 years. There won't be any way to dislodge them from power. Autocratic breakthrough is when they use the powers they've achieved through winning elections to cement themselves in power so they can't be removed by future elections or by other democratic means. So we are, we are watching the efforts to consolidate power. We are watching four signs of autocratic breakthrough trying to entrench themselves in power so they can't be removed. This is just the way these things go. This is how strong men rule. These are the things that they are.

[Frank Gaffney]

Trying is that Viktor Orban's Hungary is very much a cautionary tale for Americans, Americans as we face Donald Trump in the White House a second time for how we can survive and resist our own modern day autocrat. Take it from someone who lived through Viktor Orban's power grab, the aforementioned former Hungarian politician Gabor Schering, who writes, Hungary's key lesson is you don't protect democracy by talking about democracy. You protect democracy by protecting people. Only a democracy that works for the people is sustainable. And Gabor Schering joins me now. Mr. Sharing, thank you so much for being here. I want to start by asking you, what was Viktor Orban's sales pitch when he first ran for the leadership in that country in 2010?

[Unknown]

We need certain guardrails or we're going.

[Natalie Winters]

To head too far in the direction of autocracy mongering about trans people.

[Gabor Szabo]

But then some are a lot of.

[Frank Gaffney]

Majority of his, a lot of scapegoating. And every autocrat throughout history has found a scapegoat. And that's what he did.

[Sharon Stone]

You're back in the war room. I think Stephen K. Bannon's grabbing a cup of War path coffee. You might need one too, after making it through that cold open. But if you paid attention, it's another cold shot here in the war room, though I'd put it in the category, something we don't want to be vindicated on much like the COVID vaccines, the COVID origin, the threat that the Chinese Communist Party poses. We told you that over the coming weeks, you would see autocracy, autocracy, Trump is an autocrat, become their new talking point. You know why? Because it's what the United States government, and by that I mean the Victoria Newlands, the Norm Eisens, the Hillary Clinton's, the deep state embeds, the ones that are fleeing because who knows who's going to join those agencies from the Trump administration. It's those people. It's precisely those people who have such a misconstrued version of democracy that they think democracy means when their side wins. So now that that didn't happen, they have to essentially reject the voice of the American people. Of course, throw the layer of projection like they always have in there because that's all they wheel and deal in. But they have to say that, yeah, President Trump may have won, but because he's an autocrat, we now have the moral justification to insert ourselves, whether it be the resistance, whether it be via lawfare, whether it be via judges, whether it be via governors. Choose your fighter. We have the ability to get in there and overturn these election results behind the scenes. Right? It's not going to be the mass deployment of troops on the streets like you saw in the Women's March. It's going to be a little bit of a different warfare tactic. And I would point the audience to a very, very important tweet from someone, Michael McFaul, who has been wrong about basically every geopolitical thing ever. Maybe worse than Sharon Stone. But if you read that tweet, you can see that he says, well, the maga, right, they don't like the term color revolution. They've become too, well, conspiratorially, conspiratorially accurate about what color revolutions mean. So we're going to call it democratic breakthrough. What did you just hear Rachel Maddow say? Authoritarian breakthrough. In other words, it's their pr, HR department approved spin on their angle of attack against President Donald J. Trump and the MAGA movement. It's no longer that we're a threat or denying democracy. We're straight up autocrats, right? The democracy angle of attack. Think about it. That was sort of the 501C3 element of the color revolution, where it wasn't exposed explicitly political. It was just about laying the cultural groundwork. But the autocrat angle is the 501C4, where it's actual political lobbying and efforts to lay the groundwork for a color revolution. And I'm not just saying that broadly or conspiratorially, they admit it. Just today, Norm Eisen is busy tweeting out his democracy playbook that was first authored in 2019. Again, this is the same Norm Eisen who has been behind every single, without fail, law fair attempt to get President Trump, whether it was the impeachments, whether it was all the cases post 2020 tweeting out his democracy playbook that was later revised post 2020 election to say that these are the strategies that we need to use to go after Trump democratically because we lost at the ballot box. Now, if you want to talk about the most messed up perversion of what it means to be a democracy, I would present you evidence a what you just saw. But it's so much more in depth, right? Because in the same news cycle, just what was it a few days ago you have breaking that the state's United Democracy center was busy advising behind the scenes the Arizona AG who in her life had never tried a case, Chris Mays, on how to pursue and proceed with the Trump fake alternate electors, all the lovely patriots out there, Rudy Giuliani, Kelly Ward, you name it, they were essentially drafting the legal playbook for her to go after. Some of Donald Trump's staunchest allies. And you know who founded that organization, none other than Norm Eisen. And the several people who sit on the board of that group in turn also participated in, you guessed it, the Transition integrity project in 2020. That's right. If you needed any more proof that they stole the 2020 election, 10 million voters withstanding, you can put that as sub point B. They, they're saying it. They're admitting it out loud when Norm Eisen is busy tweeting his playbook that they were supposed to use in foreign countries that they used under the pretense of autocratic leaders like what Viktor Orban, who dared to what, put his country's national sovereignty first. Did you catch that in the Joy Reid clip? They're now wheeling around a former Ukrainian member of parliament or representative who by the way, just a fun fact while he sits there and lectures you about how important democracy is. Do you know what his new job post working in Hungary is? Being a professor at Georgetown University, Qatar. So spare me the lecturing about what it means to be a democracy when you take money from one of the most backwards and repressive regimes on this earth. But ad hominem attacks aside, they're now wheeling out this guy to say that Donald Trump is tantamount to Viktor Orban. In other words, the sort of pressure campaigns that we have to push back and assert dominance against the MAGA movement is going to be the same color revolutions that we helped staged abroad. Right. And it all sort of converges with what you get being the idea that civil society and these law fair groups are going to be how they resist against President Donald Trump. And when you see these narratives converging, all those clips that we played were just from last night. Keep in mind that it was just last week that all the heavy hitters of the left wing resistance, the George Soroses of the world, the Democracy forwards, the democracy 2025s, they just had their big meeting to coordinate and consolidate their strategy as to how to come after President Donald J. Trump. You think there's any coincidence that now all of a sudden they're kicking it into overdrive, smearing this movement as an autocratic movement? No. The color revolution.

[Natalie Winters]

So it has begun. This is what I want you to think about. Take a short commercial break here. By the way, our sponsors are manifold, but Birch Gold has been one of our oldest sponsors. Birchgold.com Bannon end of the dollar empire. No Rachel Maddow on your production team. We're not trying to destroy the dollar. We're trying to point out to working men and women that the elites in this country are destroying the dollar. And they might want to look at an alternative for their 401k and their IRA. And they can talk to Philip Patrick and the team because gold and precious metals have been a hedge against times of financial turbulence for 5,000 years recorded history. Sharon Stone, take out our number two pencil and write that down, baby. Short commercial break the question I have for young Ms. Winters. I thought we just won a sweeping victory using the democratic process, which they made number one on the, on the, on the ballot. And now we're autocrats. Like, what are these people about? They're kind of insane. Short break when the man comes around from the book of Revelation, Johnny Cash and St. John the Evangelist. Short break. Back in a moment. The world wins when the doctors at Brick House Nutrition announce a Black Friday sale. It's a big event. Now is the time to save a bundle while you reboot and optimize your health.

[Unknown]

Or stormtroopers or something that just seems so incredible and far away from American reality. And that's true. But that's also because they don't have the imagination or maybe the knowledge to know how it is that democracies break down nowadays. Nowadays, most democracies fail not because of violence or coup d'etat, but because a legitimate elected leader comes to power and then begins to dismantle institutions. He puts loyalists in the jobs instead of experts. He politicizes institutions that are supposed to belong to the whole nation, like the military or the Department of Justice, and makes them serve him and his political program. And you know, we've seen this happen. I mean, it's what happened in Hungary, it's what happened in Turkey. I saw it happen in Poland where I lived part of the time, as you know.

[Natalie Winters]

Okay, Natalie, help me out here. I'm a simple guy. Please explain to the audience what she's saying because didn't we just win? Didn't they put democracy on the ballot for four years? This is all msc, Joanne Reed and Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes every day hammering Us hammering us, hammering us. And their guests are Samantha Powers and Victoria Nuland and Applebaum. I don't want to say they're sorority sisters, but man, they're always the same. You know, we're anti Democratic and didn't we just, didn't we just win and blow them out with working class votes? Particularly folks, a lot of folks who would naturally vote for them. And in President Trump's cabinet, he's got Tulsi Gabbard, he's got RFK Jr. And he's got people like David Sachs and Bill Ackman and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy and all these guys who used to be Democrats and some are progressive Democrats. Hasn't he shown the big tent in working that people are back in the America first policies and they like the direction of this populist movement. They like economic nationalism. Why are we, why are all of a sudden, why are we autocrats? I thought we used democratic processes to win elections.

[Sharon Stone]

Ma'am, be careful. Slate may say you're more caustic than I am. I know I got that badge of honor. But no, you know, that's the kind of bipartisanship that the American people want, right? Not bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform or the type of unity that the establishment pushes in the wake of Donald Trump almost being assassinated as a way to claw back gains that the MAGA movement has made. But what you're seeing, I think is just a continuation of the Biden's Biden regime's legacy of just perverting, frankly, everything but the institutions that actually are near and dear to this country. And these sort of Founding Fathers envisionment of what the United States is supposed to be, particularly when it comes to democracy. Right? They have to reframe democracy into this idea now that essentially, if you don't like the outcome or who democracy results in winning the election, that is President Donald Trump, well, you're justified in opposing it because, I don't know, try to square that logic chain. But that's why they have to basically make that work, because otherwise their whole resistance operation fails. But I also think it's something more bigger or larger going on here. You want to get signal, not noise. I mean, this messaging is essentially given giving a, let's use the word, the left does a permission structure for continued assassination attempts against President Donald J. Trump. Right. If he's such an autocrat, if he's such a threat, not just to this country, but to the global world order, then people like Ryan Ruth, people like Thomas Matthew Crooks are only going to find more justification and incitement because this is a regime that has perverted not just the idea of what it means to be a democracy. They don't like the outcome. They've perverted elections, right? They're sham. I mean, they stole the 2020 election and they say it was the fairest, most confident election that they've ever had. They've turned national sovereignty into something that they've handed over to, you know, the idea of global government. Ukraine has only become a pathway to continue and accelerate trends of de dollarization and destroying this country. The border patrol has become the welcome patrol. I mean, the nuclear family has turned into what the most degenerate, weird transgenderism ideology of just destroying the fabric that holds this country together. Right? All of this together. What they have said about democracy, that's the big lie. That's their big lie. It's not that the 2020 election was stolen, right? It's that they lied about what democracy is and how important it is. And now that they lost, we used their own words against them. They're doing this last minute scramble because otherwise the resistance movement in their own classification, per the FBI, would be regarded as some form of domestic extremism in the form of January 6th.

[Natalie Winters]

Unreal. Hang right there. We're going to come back on this topic, but something happened this afternoon, Natalie, you and I talked about that. I'm still confused about it. We have a cold open from the regime head, Joe Biden. Let's play that. And Frank Gaffney is going to come.

[Joe Biden]

In and interpret lasting security for the people of Israel. Lebanon cannot be achieved only on the battlefield. And that's why I directed my team to work with the governments of Israel and Lebanon to forge a ceasefire to bring a conflict between Israel and Hezbollah to a close. Under the deal reached Today, effective at 4:00am tomorrow local time, the fighting across the Lebanese Israeli border will end. Will end. This is designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities. What is left of Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations will not be allowed, I emphasize, will not be allowed to threaten the security of Israel again. Over the next 60 days, the Lebanese army and state security forces will deploy and take control of their own territory. Once again, Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure in southern Lebanon will not be allowed to be rebuilt. And over the next 60 days, Israel will gradually withdraw its remaining forces and civilians. Civilians on both sides will soon be able to safely return to their communities and begin to rebuild their homes, their schools, their farms, their businesses and their very lives. We're determined this conflict will not be just another cycle of violence. And so the. The United States, with the full support of France and our other allies, has pledged to work with Israel and Lebanon to ensure that this arrangement is fully implemented.

[Natalie Winters]

Okay. International Criminal Court the other day indicted Bibi and I think his Minister of Defense as international war criminals. Only hungry, kind of broke the pack today. So, Frank Gaffney, I'm now totally confused. I thought that Bibi's government was going to try to eradicate the military operation of Hamas, what was left in southern Gaza and Judeo Samaria and pivot, and take out Hezbollah, which has been lurking in southern Lebanon with the Persians, number one priority of crushing Israel. Then all of a sudden, the Biden regime kind of gets in the middle of this and we're having a ceasefire. Is a ceasefire to Israel's. Isn't this just slowing the inevitable down, that they're going to get bled out by the Persians and in Hamas and these other Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organizations? Sir.

[Unknown]

Can I provide a segue from what you and Natalie were just talking about, about democracy, Steve? Because it's directly relevant to what's happening here. The Biden administration has professed this undying commitment to democracy and be its great defender and so on. In two respects, they have been absolutely undermining democracy in this particular setting. First, Donald Trump ran pretty clearly on a platform of not being interested in the destruction of the state of Israel. In fact, to the contrary, as he did in his first term, he bequeathed to Joe Biden a very strong Israel, a very peaceful Middle east, as peaceful as it's been in memory. And Joe Biden has destroyed that, and he's destroying it now by directly affronting the sentiment of the American voters who gave Donald Trump a mandate to change course on the Middle East. And what's going on here, Steve, to directly answer your question, is Bibi Netanyahu's plan, I think, is unchanged. What has changed is that Joe Biden, again, in an affront to democracy, has kept basically hidden the kind of extortion that he's engaged in. And when I say he, you know, it's not him, it's the apparat around him that is deeply committed to the destruction of the state of Israel. It is deeply committed to saving Hamas, saving Hezbollah, saving Iran. And their strategy has been to essentially euchre Israel into ending its operations by first of all, threatening to allow the United nations to have its way with Israel, something it did not do last week with respect to Gaza, as you'll recall. But this week they're doing it with respect to Hezbollah. They say, we won't veto a resolution compelling you to have a ceasefire with Hezbollah unless you go along with it, go along with the one that we're coming up with here. And here's the kicker. If the American people, who Harris Harvard polls have said repeatedly over the past year or so, overwhelmingly supported, they want it to win. They don't want Hamas, they don't want Hezbollah, they don't want Iran to win. But if they're denied information about what's being done here, on the one hand, using the UN As a threat, on the other, simply preventing Israel from having access to weapons they've bought that they need to maintain the offensive operations, the whole thing kind of grinds to a halt. You're a student of history. Remember, Patton's tanks ran out of gas at an inconvenient moment. And that's basically what's happening to Israel's military as well. And I think what Bibi said to his cabinet today, that brought a lot of people who know, A, this is not going to work, B, it certainly is not something that the Israeli people support, and C, it is not meant to be a permanent arrangement, which is what Joe Biden said in that White House presentation today. It's supposed to be something that will just now endure indefinitely. And then when you listen to the crap that he put out about how everybody's going to go back to their homes and it's going to be, oh, wonderful, and peace will break out all over the place. This is rubbish. Steve. What will happen is Hezbollah will return to those areas in South Lebanon and will be once again in a position to fire into Israel, and it will remain impossible for the people of Israel to return to their homes in the north of Israel. So our prayer is. Has got to be that, frankly, Donald Trump will step up here and say to Joe Biden, this is not acceptable. Because what they're trying to do to Donald Trump, basically, is give him a sort of facts on the ground situation that he cannot easily undo. And that will constitute, I believe, not just no peace, let's be honest. It will simply amount to what in Islamic doctrine is known as a hudna, a temporary, you know, fighting pause that will enable Hezbollah to return. Yes. To rearm. Yes. To reconstitute its leadership. Yes. And to go once again to war with Israel on behalf of its masters in whose foreign legion they serve, frankly, in Iran.

[Natalie Winters]

Frank, hang on for one second, because I want to go through, I thought, and correct me if I'm wrong, I thought in a lame duck. Joe Biden is president and commander in chief until noon on the 20th of January. However, custom and tradition is you don't sit there and start cutting a bunch of new deals. Your time's over and the people have essentially elected somebody else. This interregnum is just so someone like President Trump can stand up as government. Right. Can get his 3,000 guys in right away, the 1,000 start getting confirmed. It's a transition and you're not supposed to do these types of moves, particularly change the facts on the ground. Anyway, hang on. I want to hold you for the next break because I want to talk about this and because remember, there's three verticals. One, it's the debt. Everything they're doing on the balance sheet of the United States at Yellen is working on the debt, the deficit, all of that. The others, the southern border, right. That they've, they're trying to exacerbate the the invasion. And the third is what I call the wars from the Ukraine to the Middle east to the new red lines, the CCP storm down in the South China Sea and in East Asia. All next in the war room. Spread the word all through Hong Kong. We will fight till they're all gone. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the ccp. You ever think how can I work this hard and still be in debt? The piles of overdue bills, the threatening phone calls and never having money to do anything, it's just won't stop. You're trapped in debt. Done with Debt is the way out.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

[Natalie Winters]

Okay, friend. By the way, Birchgold, want to thank the Birch Gold guys. You can go to. If you got your phone, just put in Bannon 989898 text. You can get all the free info kits for 401ks IRAs, all of that. They also send you all the information you want. And they will take as much time to explain to you why gold is a hedge. And I think now more than ever, as we're going to walk you through the world wars that currently are underway and are being exacerbated. Dan Fluitt, Rebels, rogues and outlaws. The pictorial history of the War Room our first five years. This is a magnificent piece and work of art. And Dan did an amazing job. Incredible. The writing's amazing, the photography is stunning. And for any War Room posse member on your list or a stocking stuffer, kind of a heavy stocking. So, I mean, this thing is really quality paper, all of it, pretty extraordinary. You can go to Amazon.com or you can go over to. It's a War Room book. You can go to Skyhorse, our publishing partner. Go check it out. Frank Gaffney. This is supposed to be a period where we're standing up a government to take over. They're not supposed to be out cutting these wild deals. Did they force Bibi to do this? The bottom line is Bibi being forced, is he extorted to agree to sign this thing?

[Unknown]

100%, Steve. There's no way he would do this otherwise, and especially when the cavalry is slightly over the horizon, but headed this way, 55 days or so out, he wants desperately to do what I think Donald Trump knows needs to be done, too, which is to finish the war, to act decisively. And the truth of the matter is that not only has the Biden team done what we've just discussed in terms of creating this extortion, but they have at every turn slowed the progress of the war. Why? Because they are determined to save Hamas, they're determined to save Hezbollah, they're determined to save Iran. This is absolutely at odds with American national interests as well as Israel's, obviously. But, Steve, here's the key. Barack Obama, who a lot of us think is still running things, did exactly the same thing when Trump was coming into office the first time. You may remember, he did a UN resolution abstention that basically stuck it to Israel. The worst up to that point until now. And I just wanted to say, with your encouragement, we have just launched a brand new effort we call it the Working Group on Israel. And we've just put our first paper up. You can find it@wg Israel.org and it calls on all of us, the American people who did not vote for this craziness, the Trump team, and yes, what there is in Congress as well, to stand against Joe Biden's. Don't dignify it by calling it a ceasefire. It's not. It's just a fighting pause until the next horrible war. Instead of allowing Israel to finish the job with Hezbollah, which would be great for Lebanon, which would be great for obviously Israel and great for us, they're our enemies too. They've got blood of Americans all over their hands. Hezbollah as well as Iran, of course. So I encourage people to go to wgisrael to take a look at this brand new paper. It's the first of many that we'll be engaged in to try to help Israel do what it needs to do to survive and to defend our interests as well as theirs in a very dangerous part of the world.

[Natalie Winters]

The Working Group on Israel will have a lot more about that later. Hopefully it will have a big impact as the Committee on Present Danger. China, which has been extraordinary. I want to go to when I call the wars this thing in Ukraine, I mean the New York Times, not Breitbart or Gateway Pundit or, you know, the Darren Beatty's guy's revolver. The New York Times is reporting there's actually high level discussions between American officials, NATO officials, European officials and Ukrainian officials about the potential for deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. There's the former head of the armed services there, the guy that was kind of forced out of few months ago, saying, hey, I think this thing may be expanding into the third World War. What is Biden doing to handcuff Trump, who's a man of peace and thinks he can sit down with Zelensky, with Putin and work out some sort of peace agreement so that we don't have in 2025 and 26 another million Ukrainians die. Sir.

[Unknown]

Yeah, Steve, as you know, with your help and that of the war room, Karen Sigeman of the American Freedom alliance and a number of us went on the road to swing states across the country to talk about this World War 3. I made a point in each of those presentations that what's I think really going on here is World War X. And my theory is that what happened was Joe Biden was told by Xi Jinping in their meeting two weeks ago, you know, intensify the war in Ukraine. Why? Because Just as Xi, I think, told Putin to go in there in the first place as part of a series of acts of what I call strategic arson around the world, all designed to suck us into various conflicts, to put our resources, to put our energies, to put most especially our military kit, which is in very short supply into these conflicts. So why it wouldn't be available to deal with China? And you just had Admiral Sam Perpero of Indo Pact Command freaking out because they've just removed anti personnel mines needed to defend South Korea, which is looking at a pretty ugly North Korea at the moment as another of these potential conflagrations. They send it all to Ukraine and he's saying, wait a minute, we're not going to be able to defend and what we have to do vis a vis the Chinese. That's the plan. That is Xi's war plan. And I think you look at what he's done in the Middle east as well. This all fits a pattern. We've done a series of really important webinars on these issues and I commend everyone those [e-mail], the Committee on the present danger that you just spoke highly. Evan, thank you for being part of it.

[Natalie Winters]

Frank, where do people go to get all the content here? We got a bounce, but where do folks go?

[Unknown]

SecuringAmerica.substack.com is where you can find most of my stuff. PresentDangerChina.org is the committee's this brand new effort, the working group on Israel [e-mail] Thanks Steve, for letting me come on to tell about World War Z. Among other things. It's vitally important we get this right.

[Natalie Winters]

Frank, good launch on the working group on Israel. I'll be back to you after the show. Tell everybody great job today. Fantastic job and a good launch. Thank you, brother. On a pretty important day when they're agreeing to a ceasefire, extorted into a ceasefire. Okay. Robbie Starbuck has been running the tables with corporate America. Robbie's a long term friend of the show and he going to join us next. Natalie Winner is going to break down. She's dropped another bomb on the United States. The four red lines, you don't dare cross them. President Trump, we're going to talk all about that. And of course, the oddest pick so far, President Trump is the Surgeon General. Jackie Torborough is going to drill down on that. She loves President Trump. Got a couple of questions about this pick. All next in the war room.

[Robbie Starbuck]

America's home will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health. So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements and of course, the beef liver being our flagship products.
