Steve Bannon
To tell you this because you've talked about it. It comes at a time when the country is deeply divided. And now you're going to be leading this country for the next four years for the sake of unifying this country. Will you concede the 2020 election and turn the page on that chapter? No. Why would I do that? But let me just tell you, when you say the country is deeply divided, I'm not the president. Joe Biden is the president. Stop it right there. Stop it right there. Denver. I want to play, I'm going to play that. I'm a call for that again, right there. What is the. It's a core requirement, Let me be blunt. It's a core requirement to be ultra maga. Trump won the 2020 election. The part of all these investigations are going to be, and this is why on January 20, at one minute afternoon after he takes his hand off the King James Bible, the order has to be given every person, every person associated that Biden appointed, anybody in his government, every U.S. attorney, any deputy U.S. attorney, every political appointee, all 3,000 of the, of the one thing put in there, and every one of The Senate confirms 4,000 immediately. Immediately. And anybody else, the people sits on the boards of the Naval Academy, West Point, the Battlefield Commission. They got literally hundreds, if not thousands of commissions. Got people on all of them, every fricking person associated with this criminal gang that are over there every night burning the midnight, are they burning the midnight oil thinking, hey, how do we stay out of Syria and how do we not make more obligations, have refugees everywhere? Are they working around the clock to figure out, hey, how do we make sure that that app down there is not used and they can't get more tens of thousands of folks across this border that Trump and these guys are going to figure out. Are they, are they thinking about how do we kind of calm things down, let Trump get in here on Ukraine, are they doing anything on the debt and make sure, hey, Janet Yellen has a clean turnover with Besson and make sure that the way they've done this, like old Argentina and do it short term and finance it short term and get the balance sheet of the country upside down, that it is a good changeover. No, what they're doing over there in the White House and they say this, they're leaking it themselves. They're working on blanket preemptive pardons. Now turn to your Constitution and look that one up. Oh, we can't find that. That's because it doesn't exist. Not even a concept. Anybody's ever heard of a blanket preemptive pardon. They argue. Rudy, I was on his show. He argues. Nixon got this. I'm not a lawyer. I'm not a constitutional lawyer. I don't even think that. Was it a blanket preemptive pardon for Milley and Fauci and Liz Cheney and Shifty Schiff? Those are categories. Those are just verticals. They're just the head person in a vertical to go down. That's what they're doing. You know why? And President Trump. Can we please play that again just to start. I just got to hear that and just let it roll. She's trying to. Do you know. This is Kristen Welkin. Kristen is a good person. You've seen Kristen Welker in your life. She's the kid from kindergarten all the way through high school when you left her. Gets a straight A everything. She comes to work every day. She's done the homework and more homework and done some extra homework. She's probably smarter than the teacher. And she's got that hand raised up there. She's sitting in the front row. She's got that hand raised and she's answering every question. She's answering questions the teacher didn't even thought of. She getting A's. A plus. They got this thing now. You can't get a 4.0. You got a 4.9 or a 5.2. I don't even know how that works. Works because I wasn't getting 4.0s in the military prep school I went to. I was not getting close to. So 4.0 was like a goal. Guys. That get above it. That's Kristen Welker. She's a 5.2. 5.2. The only thing not exactly quick on the comeback with a beast like Trump. Boom, boom. He's dropping bombs and she's trying to. You know, Kristen, don't. You shouldn't do this. You shouldn't do this. You don't try to cage a lion coming out of the box unless you get the bullwhip and you got like a submachine gun and you didn't. Can you commit to the American people right now that you know you're going to go there? Is that what you're going to do? You're going to go there, right there. No. He's going to blow you up. No, I am not so. No, you am not. He's not going to. Do you know why? Because this is his third win. He's won three immediately. You're going to have to suck on. Oh, they, you know they're looking at this. They're debating it. They're debating it. They're going to come again. This is why they're all hanging their hat. Rachel Maddow, the Jack Smith Report. Laron. Sir, The Jack Smith Report. Shove the Jack Smith Report up with the sun. Don't shine. That's how much we care about it. It's going to be your superseding indictment. I guess it's not now, right? Sorry. Not sorry, Jack Smith. Here's what you better be worrying about. Lawyer up, get the passport make sure you can go and go to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States of America. It's an illegitimate regime. What do we say on the 20th of January 2021 you got that guy with CNN. Look at the lights on the reflecting polar like Biden's arms embracing the nation. First off he should have been fired for being a creep. Forget that he's an idiot. He should have been fired for being a creep. Hey John Malone, heads up why CNN is not doing so well. Number one, you got a lot of creeps over there and they kind of come across on TV as creeps. I don't think people want that in their living room every day. Just free advice. Take it for what it's worth. John Malone when you finally figure out why it's not working let's get rid of the creep factor. Just start there before you get and nothing's not working the 30 people on the panel every two seconds to say something other moronic thing. Why don't you here's a note. Why don't you just get two or three people that know something that understand something. We don't need diversity and we don't need them all. You got everybody. You got every flavor, every taste, all of it. It's all meaningless. Get rid of the creeps and then get some people know something and hey maybe you got a shot. I don't know every the theory of the case go back to the rail head 2020 was stolen and on the 21st where we say we are going we have a task and a purpose and number one in this information war he is illegitimate. Biden is illegitimate and we will say that over and over again. We'll never call him president. We'll never call administration illegitimate Biden regime. How many times you hear that people like 2 million. The illegitimate Biden regime. Now I can tell you who buys into that theory of the case. I'm going to pick a random name. Donald John Trump. Kristen Welker. So your interview, which is going to be shown at University of Missouri and at Columbia, which are two of the kind of top schools for journalism, as a way not to conduct an interview, particularly when he, boom, he's blowing you up with another bomb. And your eyes are not the best. Not the best. It's an illegitimate regime. And the proof of their illegitimacy is what they're doing in the White House. Do we need anything else to show us? They're spending their time on blanket preemptive pardons. And you know who agrees with us is Amy Klobuchar ran for president. She may want another shot. She has beat Royce White. She's on a roll. She's sitting there going, you know, I'm not so sure that's a good thing. No, Amy, write this down. It destroys the Democratic Party. So this is a win win the Chinese are talking about. Win, win. I got a win win for you. Here's a win win. We dare you to give the pardons. We dare you. Biden, get them all. Get your family. In fact, on top of it, throw the pardons out for the illegal aliens, the 10 million. Pardon them all. We dare you. Do it. Because in the very act of that, the Democrats become the Whigs. The last major party that went away right before the Civil War. You know who was a Whig? Let me think. Abraham Lincoln, who had kind of thought it through, right? The Whigs were big on internal development and taking money and putting building bridges and kind of building the country and, you know, believed in manufacturing, all of it. Kind of anti the plantation class. Right. Whigs went away as a buildup to the Civil War and where slavery and the issues of slavery became more front and center, and you couldn't avoid it anymore. The Democratic Party could actually cease to exist. They're sitting there right now saying, oh, no, we gotta be populism. It's all populism. Populism. Populism, as much as a spiritual force as anything else. And if you don't understand that, which you don't, you just can't glob it on. Oh, let's tax the rich. That's not populism. It's a part of it. It's a part of it, but there's a reason for that. Populism's about redemption. Populism is about a spiritual element of it. Popul. Why? Because it gets back to the concept of sovereign will. Now, what is that? That's you who won the other day with Joni Ernst. President Trump Took a step back, as he often does. He wants to see how it plays. He can read the room. He wants to see how this thing plays. Pete's got to show some resilience. And his people have to speak. President Trump. President Trump does not have a PhD. He didn't go to Wharton to get a political science degree. He didn't know this mumbo jumbo. He doesn't need to know it, doesn't want to know it, because it's not meaningful. Sovereign will. You want a populism, a redemptive spiritual political movement that focuses on the sovereign will of the American people in the American version of it. The American people, regardless of their race, regardless of the ethnicity, regardless of their gender, regardless of the religion. They have to be something. Here's what they got to be. Wait for it. What do you got to be? Let me think about this for a second. What do you got to be? An American citizen. An American citizen. And collectively. Collectively, that sovereign will. We're independent actors. You have independent agency. You got to stand in front of your maker as a person. You don't have your family, you don't have your loved one. You don't have your wife, your husband, none of it. It's just you getting weighed and measured at the end on your actions, on your agency, how you use your agency. Don't give me your thoughts. Don't give me your all, your inner thing. I want to know what you did in this veil of tears. We got a book. It's called the Book of Life. Remember, in Revelations, they get the good and the bad, and they got the Book of Life right there, and they're going through it. That's the agency. Listen to St. John the Evangelist. We finish with that song when the man comes around. It's quite powerful. Hell, I don't know what the Book of Revelations means. Nobody knows what the Book of Revelations means. It's too deep. It's too symbolic. It's all of it. But you know what? You keep plowing through it. The church made a decision. We're going to end with that. Maybe you guys should spend some time with it. They got the Book of Life. What does the Book of Life say? The Book of Life says your agency. You're going to be held accountable for your agency. Divine providence gave you this opportunity. What'd you do with it? What'd you do with it? Did you squander it? Did you do bad things? The sower and the seed. Did you do. What did you do Collectively, though, for the Zeitgeist? Zeitgeist. That's the sovereign will. And if the revolution, Civil war, World War II, show us anything, it shows us the purpose of this whole experiment. You don't need kings. Did you see Trump shows up in Notre Dame? He's like Charlemagne. You see them all cacao, talent, toy, all kissing the ring. Like the Borgias, the Medicis, right, and the Bourbons and all of it. The guys in England, they haven't learned anything. It's not in their DNA. They're going to bow down. He walks in, he's like Charlemagne. Boom. Hey, can I kiss the ring? That's not the American people. We love Trump. Trump is the instrumentality of the salvation of this nation, full stop. He's not worshiped here. He's admired and respected and supported. That's because we're different than the Europeans because of what took place here. The good and the bad, the evil and the sublime. It's so obvious. Short break. Campaign. Big victory on the 5th of November. Now the work can finally start on the big issues facing the country. One of the biggest is the national debt and the deficits that drive it. Hey, you think the country's broke? The country is broke. We're just printing money to keep this house of cards going. The strategy remains the same for you.

To tell you this because you've talked about it, it comes at a time when the country is deeply divided. And now you're going to be leading this country for the next four years. For the sake of unifying this country, will you concede the 2020 election and turn the page on that chapter? No. Why would I do that? But let me just tell you, when you say the country is deeply divided. Let me have it. I'm not the president. I could play that. I could play that a million times because it's deeply. We turn the page on. No, we're never going to turn the page on that. Here's going to turn the page. You're going to fire everybody in this illegitimate regime on moment one. Everybody, Every battlefield commission, every historical society, the Smithsonian, the Kennedy center, every person that was put in by this illegitimate regime going to be shown the door. Shown the door. And we dare you, if you're listening, we dare you, because we know you are. We dare you to give a blanket preemptive pardon on these criminals. Yep. On Fauci. Yep. On Shifty Schiff. Yep. On Millie. Yep. On Liz. Liz had a big, long thing yesterday. She came back with President Trump. You know, President Trump said something about that, about J6. No pardon. All the J6 people been in the prisons. Then they can get the civil suits and come after you people personally, which they have to do. And then we're going to go into all the J6 records on the committee. And by the way, it's got to be done. It's got to be adjudicated totally publicly. This has to be like Caesar's Wife. It has to be completely 1,000% public. Or it should, like, kind of like the J6 committee should have been run the first time with a ranking member in a, In a, In a. In a minority council. You get all the information. You get. You get. You particularly get the. You particularly get the. Do cross examinations. But there also be. I'm sure. I don't know. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm sure there'll be a couple of three, you know, investigations and see where that gets. Maybe a special counsel, maybe. I think that'd be pretty cool. But, hey, that's all decisions guys have got to make. I'm not. I'm just sitting here in front of a microphone screaming like a madman. But it's. It's either. It's either legitimate or illegitimate. Either is or it isn't. It's either one or the other. You're the inner. You're not. No, we're not going to turn the page. Chris, welcome. No, we're not going to turn the page. NBC. No Roberts family. We're not going to turn the page. We've already won because, you know, MSNBC is an anchor around your neck and you're cutting it loose. That's a big victory in and of itself, folks. They got no news operation over there. Thing will Sink. Sink. Particularly when Bobby Kennedy comes out and the first thing he does. But we get an executive order signed that none of these big pharma criminals can be putting this propaganda and these commercials on nonstop on MSNBC over and over and over again to prop up and to pay for that, repay for that evilness that comes out of there. Take a. You take the big pharma ads away. It's a test pattern. They can't afford to pay anybody. Can't afford to do it, man, they got some sick folks that watch that thing. I'm not talking mentally, I'm talking, man. They get. You watch, just watch msn. We monitor it every day in cnn. They got diseases you can't even imagine. I said, is that a real thing? Then they got the disclaimer, which is in and of itself is worth it. They think it's a comedy routine. They talk about these diseases you've never heard of. These people get broken, they get fingers. They get everything in their heads, the bodies, all of it. Crazy. Crazy. If you don't believe in the maha, make America healthy again. Good Lord, just watch MSNBC for a day. You'd be running. Give me some organic food. No more ultra processed food. Give me. I just want to live on fruits and nuts. I want to be like John the Baptist, you know, put a. Put a loincloth on. Let me go out in the desert somewhere because this crap is madness. The way these people live and the solutions from the big pharma who only try to do it, only try to do you good. All of them have to go. All of them. I'm not going to fill them all right away. President Trump and the team down there are trying to get them through. They got a whole group of people. They're vetting people and interviewing people and putting people in slots and, you know, getting the landing teams ready. I wouldn't. I wouldn't assign that. I wouldn't assign the deal. We made the mistake in 16. We've actually learned something. I wouldn't assign the deal. I wouldn't let the FBI near your people. Not near them. No. They're not worthy. The FBI is not worthy. The FBI is not worthy. It should be broken apart into many subgroups. Number one, the counterintelligence part should go somewhere not. The CIA should go somewhere counterintelligence. The counterterrorism should go to another place. I think he puts. He may get some savings. The law enforcement, I think, should then be. If you need a federal investigative force, hey, maybe you do for these federal crimes you know, you got the U.S. attorneys, you got a whole thing at the, at the just part. Look, the FBI's got 250 lawyers. They're trying to recreate the Justice Department. Hey, why don't we make it simple? Why don't we take the 250 lawyers and send them back to the Justice Department. Got it. Where the lawyers go, put them over there. Maybe there's only 50 seats. So you get rid of 200, but take those out of the FBI, put them there and then the FBI investigators and all the fields and maybe you put it with the U.S. attorneys, maybe we kind of give it some critical mass. I don't know. Greater minds than mine are thinking up, but that's kind of a. And then guess what? You don't have any FBI. Think about it for a second. In building the headquarters, it was to tell the headquarters is bigger than the Pentagon. I don't think we need that. I don't know. As my brother tells me, watch every movie when the local guys are trying to solve something, the FBI walks in and it's always a bunch of clowns and they're stepping on people and getting in the way and they're just, you know, the local guys got it. Hey, FBI, you had, you're all puffed up on MSNBC because I puffed up the other day. We're going to get this guy. The FBI's got him. Somebody at McDonald's ratted him out. And he had a couple local. He had Barney Fife and his wingman went in and saw the young guy. Boom. We saw him right away. We walked up, guys eating a Big Mac, excuse me, eating a breakfast burrito or so I guess they don't do that. McDonald's, not that I would know. Eating a breakfast. Egg McMuffin. Guys macking on, macking down, working on an Egg McMuffin. Two cops show up. No FBI. The great FBI. Five days. This guy could have killed 10 other people. Still his weapon. But the amazing FBI with the multi billion dollar budget in the headquarters that's bigger than the Pentagon has ever struck you as odd. Do we really need this kind of. No. Because that's the American gestapo needs. Because they need to jackboot and kick down the doors of all these folks. These people praying the rosary. Praying the rosary. Think about that for a second. The guys I met in Danbury, the people I know in this life movement, I mean, I am not that over. I'm not that churchy, right? You know, I try to get, you know, I try to, you know, in this journey. You struggle, you try to do the right thing. But I'm not one of these churchy guys. These guys are super church. They are holy people. Their whole life revolves around this. They're going to have a lot better time. They're going to have a lot easier discussion when the book of life is open. Their thing's going to go quick. Okay, go. You're going. You're good to go. These are holy people. These are people dedicated. They're in prison. They're in federal prisons. Women in their 70s are federal prisons. How did that happen? The FBI put them there with the Justice Department and these radical prosecutors. And their day of judgment's going to come. We're going to out all your names. You don't get to hide. You're all big shots. You're all tough guys until you're not. You're all tough guys until you're not. I'm seeing a tough guy over there. We've got resilience. Did you see Navarro run away? Did you see Cash Patel run away? Did you see Dan Scavino run away? Do you see anybody say, this is so terrible, had discussion with my family that we got to leave the country? We ain't leaving this country. This is the United States of America. We're not going to leave this country. We're going to fight for this country. We're going to take it back and we're going to clean up your mess. That's what we're going to do. What are you going to do? Oh, we're going to George Clooney. All in Europe, stay in Europe. Sharon stone. You know, 90% of them don't have none of them. 90% don't have passports. How many passports were on the guise of first wave at Normandy or at terror at Peleliu? How many passports they have? 99% answered no, they didn't need a passport to get to Normandy. They went there with a rifle, a carbine, and the support of the sovereign will of the American people. The sovereign will of the American people. That is where you come in. You happen to be the sovereign will. Two things. You're the full faith and credit of this government and everything associated with it. It's you. It's not the Federal Reserve. It's not the Security Exchange Commission. It's not the FTC or the FCC or another Alphabet agency. It's you. It's not Congress, not the Senate. It's not these clowns in the House. It's not that. It's not the bureaucrat, the administrative state running around. It's you. You're the full faith and credit of this country. It's on your shoulders. You're also the sovereign will. That's the whole deal was set up about that. The geniuses of the, of the revolutionary generation understood that if we unleash the power and not in a pure democracy. They understood that passions and you know, dispositions and tempers sometimes kind of flow. People get a little hot. Maybe sometimes they study the Republic of ancient Rome. Maybe sometimes it looking like a mob where we got checks and balances and we can do this. We can have different houses and they can have different terms. The perfect architecture to allow separation of powers, to allow checks and balances, to allow it kind of all move right but all predicated upon the sovereign will of the people. You know who understood that? To tie this back to current news, Colonel Senator Joni Ernst. Smart woman. She got it. She got some beefs with Pete but Pete's stance on women in combat and look, I don't totally agree with Pete on that. Don't need to agree with Pete on that. She got some other issues about this, you know the two systems. She wants a system for women that have been assaulted or people have been assaulted. I got that. I don't agree with that her on that but I understand her argument. But one thing you don't have to school her on is the sovereign will of the people. She understood that. Who else understands that? They do not think that Trump is both an instrument of divine providence and the sovereign will of the American people. They do not get that. They fail to comprehend that. They can't comprehend that. They still see him as some charlatan they're about to get schooled old schooled next in the world. It's obvious the unthinkable continues. Most Americans know something is very very wrong. The people in charge keep telling you that everything's fine and to stop noticing, but you know better. That's why self reliant folks are investing in emergency food storage. And you should too.

We're going to be adding the modern monetary thinking but this afternoon I'm going to have more time to get into the geopolitics or the arc of instability.

We got amazing event. I want everybody in the war room posse to sign up for this. I want you all out there. We're going to be live for a couple of days. We'll probably be doing a couple of side events to get to know everybody better. A couple times we've done this out in Phoenix at the end of the year have been extraordinary. Go in the chat. You'll hear people just had an amazing time and we're going to bring the whole crew out there. Charlie Kirk joins us. Charlie, what do you got for us, brother?
Charlie Kirk
Yeah, we want the whole war room to be there. We have a special offer for everyone to come to America Fest. It's AMFest.com promo code War Room for a special discount. But Steve, it's a really important event for more than one reason. Number one, everyone in this audience has earned the right to celebrate. It's been tough sledding, Steve. The war room posse was the vanguard, was the tip of the spear to dig us out of January, February and March of 2021. You remember those days, Steve. Those were dark, dark days. They tried to put us in exile. A lot of our buddies and friends were being put in prison and a lot of us went through what was the kind of the dark night of the soul. And now here we are and spring is here and we need to celebrate it. And we're doing that@amfest.com everyone can get your tickets. And in Phoenix, Arizona, December 19, 2021, 22, the speakers are unbelievable. We have you keynoting the first evening, Steve. Can't wait to have you just do a total barn burner. We got Donald Trump Jr. We have Glenn Beck, we have Patrick Bet David. We have Matt Walsh, we have Michael Knowles. We have Tom Homan who's going to give a special address about the largest deportation effort coming forward. That's a big deal, by the way, to have Tom Homan come. And we have policy breakouts. And then the final thing is this outside of celebration and encouragement, we are still in an active cultural battle and political battle against the left. And so what does that look like from a deployment standpoint from giving Trump his cabinet, from pressuring lawmakers? Matt Gaetz will be there. Riley Gaines will be there. We have Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rob Schneider, Danica Patrick, obviously the great Jack Posobic, James O'Keefe, Sage Steele, Scott Pressler, Roger Stone, Nicole Shanahan, Callie Means. And by the way, more speakers yet to be announced momentarily. Steve, wow. So we want the entire War Room posse. You're going to be doing the shows live there, Steve, I know that you love just meeting all the people, being part of the grassroots. It's amfest.comamfest.com we want everyone to show up. It's going to be the biggest event of the year. Get your tickets right now.
Steve Bannon
And if you use War room, if you use the war room promo code, you get a 25% discount on the general mission. I want everybody, we're going to have a great time. We're doing four hours a day. Do the good offices of Real America's Voice, Rob and Parker Sig and the team there. We're going to do four hours a day live. Plus I'll be speaking. We're going to do group things with the posse to both celebrate because it's the Christmas season and also to focus on the coming year. Charlie, the New York Times Day has a story. I just want your observation. It talks about Pete Hegseth and this thing hanging in the balance last week and the and this one I want to thank Robin Parker. Sig. You had the worm, you had the Charlie Kirksha ejector. So we had five hours. Then we came back seven hours a day pounding on this thing. What are your thoughts on where we stand with Hegseth and the importance of the audience and the community to step up here and take an active role?
Charlie Kirk
I Give Pete Hegseth 80 to 90% chances of now being confirmed. And a week ago, somebody told me who was very well connected, he's on life support. That was War Room Charlie Kirk show Turning Point Action, Jack Posobic, that started a grassroots pressure campaign against the individual who was leading and is no longer leading the charge against Pete Hegseth, which was Joni Ernst. And we were unafraid to talk about primaries, unafraid to talk about challenging. By the way, she has now signal support for B. Hegseth. So we will lay off and allow that to materialize, hopefully into a Senate confirmation vote and for her to get some of the other folks that have her worldview in the Senate to follow. But understand that every Senate Republican out there that waivers are going to go against the president's agenda. We will primary you. We said that that's not a veiled threat. That is not some sort of, like, secret agenda. We're very open about it. That goes to Mike Rounds in South Dakota or Crapo in Idaho or Jerry Moran in Kansas or Cindy Hyde Smith in Mississippi, that if you stand against maga, you stand against the president's agenda. Why is it that that list of people, amongst others, were very quick to conform? Lloyd Austin for Joe Biden and Merrick Garland for Joe Biden and some of them, Alejandro Mayorkas, that they are given the hardest time for President Trump's nominees. You must give Trump his Cabinet. We're going to be talking about that at Amfest. But it's this audience that made the noise, did the work, that turned the tide. We are not there yet. We are not there yet. But Pete Hegseth is now in a heavily favored position to be confirmed, thanks to this audience.
Steve Bannon
Real quickly, Cash, your thoughts on Cash, his nomination, percentage probability of being FBI director?
Charlie Kirk
I give it 90 to 95%. We are not seeing any sort of Senate defections. Cash is an excellent person. I was pushing for Cash, both publicly and privately, so thrilled the president made that decision. We need to see that all the way through and make sure the US Senators confirm him. And I don't think he'll get any Democrats, but Cash might lose one or two Republican senators. That's enough. That's enough to get him across the finish line. Cash Patel will changed the FBI to be an actual law enforcement agency to go after fentanyl trafficking, child sex trafficking, Chinese espionage, and no longer put the FBI as an intelligence network against Catholic faithful, against mom and dads at school board meetings. That's all going to come to an end. Cash Patel will be a phenomenal FBI director.
Steve Bannon

Steve Bannon
Two hours of populist nationalism every, every day. Michael Seifert joins us. Michael, brother, you were on here last time talking about the company. I was teasing you. I said, man, you're like, I don't know, you looked like Don Jr. You're trying to look like Don Jr. You threw out JD as your misdirection play and you announced immediately after you're off, you announced John Junior's joining the board of directors. I didn't have any information. I just threw it out there. You're starting to look like him. Tell me about Don Jr. I think the stock went through the roof. Not that we followed that here in the war room, but tell me about Don Jr joining the board.
Michael Seifert
Yeah, Steve, I did think the timing was funny. I had to chuckle internally when you mentioned Don Jr last week because I couldn't say anything. But I knew we had some exciting news right around the Corner. Donald Trump Jr. Has joined our board of directors@Public Square.com. don's been a long friend and everybody on this show knows Don for his excellence and leadership in the world of politics. What some people understand, but nobody fully gives the air time to is how wise of a business leader he is. He's a brilliant business strategist, he's excellent at marketing, and he's really the thought leader when you talk about small business community in the United States. In fact, Steve, this morning, Zero Hedge just put out an article that talked about how US Small businesses have experienced the most sharp jump in optimism in 44 years. And it's the best they've felt since before Biden came into office. So American small business owners are coming back. That's been reflected on Public Square. We've experienced the best week of orders we've ever had on the site. Small businesses are getting supported again. Don Jr. Is joining the board to lead the charge as the voice of American small businesses. And things could not be better for Public Square right now. So we are very grateful. And we are making beards. Great again. So thank you for the call out.
Steve Bannon
Tell me about he's. Since I've known Don Jr. He's been a huge advocate even before it's trendy of the Patriot economy that we had to stop. The first thing we had to do is stop giving money to people that hated us, that wanted to either put a woke agenda in or really destroy maga. Walk me through this concept of the Patriot economy, because that's kind of the. That's the framing device for Public Square.
Michael Seifert
Yeah, that's exactly right, Steve. You know, starting about a decade ago, we would hear from these leftist activists that cheered on Cancel Culture and they would say, if you don't like this, just build your own. These are private companies. If Apple wants to cancel you, if Amazon wants to cancel you, or charge you exorbitant risk fees if you're a politically motivated business, if any of these folks want to cancel you, it's a free country. They can do what they want. You should just build your own. That was always the tagline at the end of any of these ridiculous statements. A company would cancel a Patriot. The Patriot would call it out online. And the leftist progressive activists would say, if you don't like it, build your own. After years of frustration, Steve, we built our own. And that's exactly what's at the heart of the Patriot Economy, a desire to build solutions. We are tired of the existing institutional incumbents that have abused or ignored hundreds of millions of American people for far too long. And Don Jr. Has been alert to this for long before the Patriot Economy was ever really a publicized thing, because he has been canceled more than most anyone. I mean, I remember a few years ago at cpac, Steve, when Don told the story about how his bank actually canceled him, they didn't want to take the reputational risk of banking with Don Jr. And they pulled the rug from him. And so Don has recognized more than anybody in this country the need to create economic solutions that would celebrate the liberties that are inherent to every single American. These rights are granted by God.
Steve Bannon
And let's try to. Let's try to reboot anyway. Public square.com go there today. Don Junior is on the board. You go, it's no charge to you. You can sit there and look at all these great products and services. If you're an entrepreneur, if you're a company, you can also listen, get access to a vast market. We've known Seifert for a long time. He was a tech guy in Silicon Valley and kind of saw the direction this thing was headed and decided to turn it around, do something that was positive and powerful. And he's done it. PublicSquare.com, it's publicly traded. Don Jr. Is on the board. So it's pretty extraordinary. We're going to go. I tell you what, we have a special guest I think is going to try to be here in the D block. He's going to be here momentarily. We're going to take a short commercial break. When I say this about getting rid of everybody, they all got to go day one. But there's something else happening up here right now, and I got to give an alert. I don't think people quite think this through. I keep talking about the doge guys, the Elon, these guys, they got to merge with OMB because they're advised to OMB, they got to get on this appropriations process, the CR, remember, that's going to get kicked into the first 90 days of President Trump, so President Trump can craft his own budget, which is a positive thing. But this ndaa, if it's approved, unless somebody can explain to me otherwise, and I think I kind of understand this they're really blocking Elon and Vivek from any touching of a trillion dollar defense budget. I think it's the top line numbers kind of locked in. Now maybe this is where we got to do the impoundment. But hey, we hate to start off playing smash mouth right at the beginning this ndaa. We got to get to the bottom of it. I think it just should be kicked into next year. And if they got to say, well, it's got to be done annually, then just put some little rider on it, vote, it's okay, it's going to be grandfather, we're kicking in nothing. This scale should be passed right now, particularly a trillion dollar defense budget. Special guests next in the war room. We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the ccp.

Okay, special guest joins us. Boris Epstein, thank you very much. Great to hear you. Can we just get a summary on like where we stand with President Trump? Because I played the Kristen Welker to start the show. She asked him, tries to trick him. Well, would you turn the page in 2020 and right now say you lost 20? He goes, of course I'm not going to say that. No. By the way, she did not bring her best.
Boris Epstein
She did not. And with all due respect to Kristen.
Steve Bannon
Well, I like Kristen. She very good.
Boris Epstein
She goes, she did not bring her best and got absolutely annihilated. But it was a perfect lead into the full spectrum dominance of the weekend. And President Trump going To Europe, which I think was a completely historic trip. On the legal.
Steve Bannon
Yeah. Charlamagne shows up. Besides Joe Biden playing Goo Goo Eyes, who did she vote? What's the over that? She voted for that. She voted for Trump over Kamala Harris, 100%.
Boris Epstein
Well, if you compare the way she looked at the Notre Dame to how they looked at the Kennedy Center Awards, I think the answer is clear. The chill between the Bidens and the Kennedy center, the Harris people, if you.
Steve Bannon
Haven'T seen that video, it's a little chilly.
Boris Epstein
The Harris Emhoff family. It's cold. It's cold as ice.
Steve Bannon
Cold as ice.
Boris Epstein
It's cold. Colder than Moscow in December. But on the legal front, in all seriousness, President Trump and his legal team, the lawyers have done Todd Blanche, Amel Bove, John Lauro, Greg Sarko, you mean.
Steve Bannon
The Department of Justice.
Boris Epstein
John Sauer, Will Scharf, some random name. The team has done a completely unbelievable job. Steve Sadow in Georgia, an unbelievable, unparalleled job. And so the federal cases are dead. Jack Smith dismissed the nonsense DC Case. And to Krista Walker's question, if she really has it, the size of the victory in 2024 makes it clear that there's no way on God's green earth that Joe Biden got anywhere near 81 million votes in 2020. So the Jack Smith cases are dead. January 6th was dismissed in Florida. Interestingly, they dismissed the appeal because, remember, Judge Cannon already dismissed that case in New York in that ridiculous witch hunt with Judge Marshawn. We filed our motion to dismiss.
Steve Bannon
Alvin Bragg's had a bad response. Alvin Bragg's had a bad run.
Boris Epstein
It has not been. Alvin Bragg's not having a good time. No. And if there's something I know about somebody, he's about to have a continuation of his bad time.
Steve Bannon
He's not on a roll.
Boris Epstein
Let's put it overall, these witch hunts, this weaponization, the disgusting misuse of our law enforcement has absolutely backfired on the Democrats, on the radicals, on the leftists, and has been enough.
Steve Bannon
The American. We had a jury. We had a jury of 150 million, roughly people on November 5th. And they rendered their verdict, no doubt.
Boris Epstein
About it, all over the country.
Steve Bannon
But that word still hasn't gotten here because they're in the White House with the war breaking out and the Ottoman Empire coming back, and they're still trying to get people across the border. We get Ben Berko and them down there, people across the border. They're sitting there all night and they're leaking this. So they Must think it's a positive of blanket preemptive pardons. What does that mean for you, sir?
Boris Epstein
Well, first of all, there's no doubt, and we've been very consistent about this, that the power of the president is infinite when it comes to pardons. Right. It's unfettered.
Steve Bannon
Yes.
Boris Epstein
And overall presidential power, presidential immunity. That immunity case, Steve, someday, long time ago, we're both long gone, people will look back on that US V. Trump case that President Trump won as one of the. That's a Marbury v. Madison level case.
Steve Bannon
Yes.
Boris Epstein
And a great job, great job done by the chief justice in writing it, the breadth of it, the strength of it. In a lot of ways, it saved our republic. So that's one what they're talking about over there. Cash per tub must be getting people very, very scared. And by the way, how about the reception that Cash is getting up in the Senate? It's unbelievable.
Steve Bannon
Well, Hagseth used to think, now Hagseth.
Boris Epstein
Is in a good spot. President Trump put out a great truth about it a few days ago.
Steve Bannon
Cash is in a good spot.
Boris Epstein
Everyone's in a good spot. We're full steam ahead.
Steve Bannon
And he wants this team all day. We just had Charlie on here. He got shot in the head and then four months later won a landslide victory. He gets to pick who he wants to pick. Right.
Boris Epstein
It's the largest, most definite mandate, I would say, in recent modern American history and modern American history. And President Trump gets to have the team he wants, not the team that any sort of establishment group wants. It's the team President Trump wants. That's what he deserves, and that's what he will get.
Steve Bannon
You know the name Bond.
Boris Epstein
He also, I mean, up or down.
Steve Bannon
Line up or down. It's great. Real quickly, got about two minutes, minute and a half. You know this region very well. The collapse of Syria. How do we avoid getting sucked in? Because right now, that arc of instability, you know that territory very well. It's dangerous. And they're pushing us to do bombing runs to go in there. What should we do?
Boris Epstein
We've got to be careful not to repeat the mistakes of Egypt, not to repeat the mistakes of what happened in Libya after Gaddafi and Lebanon all over the globe. Absolutely.
Steve Bannon
Arab Spring didn't.
Boris Epstein
And you know what's interesting? I remember I was in a specific place and let's be honest, on the Upper east side of Manhattan. Oh, this is so exciting. This is so great. So great. It's the Muslim Brotherhood coming in. We've got to be realistic. We've got to be pragmatic and really we've got to make it to January 20th because once we do, President Trump will be fully in charge. He's pretty much fully in charge now. If you look at what happened in.
Steve Bannon
How much are they trying to box him in both in the war, what they're doing with the balance sheet of the country and they're still trying to get with the app, still get more people into the country. Those three big lines of work. Are they trying to handcuff Trump so he can't do anything when he first gets here?
Boris Epstein
It's either definite and intentional or it's incompetence, as they say in casino. It's bad either way. So it's. And it's a horrible combination. Are they trying to handicap him? Absolutely. Do they not know what they're doing? Absolutely, yes. Also, it's a bad combination. We've got to get through the next month and a couple days now. Month and 10 days. And once we do, this country is going to be in safe hands with President Donald J. Trump.
Steve Bannon
The first time people have seen you in a long time. Not bad.
Boris Epstein
What? Not tan like you. George Hamilton over here.
Steve Bannon
What? Give us your. Give us social media.
Boris Epstein
No doubt about it. It's an honor to be here. Great to see you. Still great to be in the original forum. It's a great place. And I remember three years ago there's.

Summary of "Bannon's War Room" - Episode 4116: "The Redemption Of Populism"
Release Date: December 10, 2024
In Episode 4116 of "Bannon's War Room," host Stephen K. Bannon delves deep into the current state of American politics, focusing on themes of national division, the resurgence of populism, media criticism, strategic political maneuvers, and grassroots mobilization. The episode features notable guests, including Charlie Kirk, Michael Seifert, and Boris Epstein, who contribute their perspectives on various pressing issues facing the nation.
Steve Bannon opens the episode by addressing the deep divisions within the country, particularly in the context of the 2020 election. He firmly rejects the notion of conceding the election results:
"We're never going to turn the page on that. Here's going to turn the page. You're going to fire everybody in this illegitimate regime on moment one."
— Steve Bannon [00:00]
Bannon criticizes the current administration, labeling it as an "illegitimate regime," and outlines a strategy to remove and replace appointees and officials associated with President Joe Biden:
"The FBI is not worthy. It should be broken apart into many subgroups."
— Steve Bannon [00:00]
He emphasizes a complete overhaul of governmental institutions to align them with his vision, underscoring his commitment to the "ultra MAGA" ideology.
Bannon explores the concept of populism, defining it as both a spiritual and political movement aimed at the redemption of the American populace:
"Populism is about redemption. Populism is about a spiritual element of it."
— Steve Bannon [27:00]
He contrasts true populism with superficial political slogans, advocating for a movement rooted in the sovereign will of the American people:
"You want a populism, a redemptive spiritual political movement that focuses on the sovereign will of the American people."
— Steve Bannon [27:00]
Bannon stresses the importance of individual agency and moral accountability, drawing parallels with religious texts to emphasize the profound responsibility of citizens.
The episode features a scathing critique of mainstream media outlets and personalities. Bannon singles out figures like Kristen Welker and platforms such as MSNBC, accusing them of bias and incompetence:
"Why don't you just get two or three people that know something that understand something. We don't need diversity and we don't need them all."
— Steve Bannon [00:00]
He disparages the portrayal and treatment of certain individuals, suggesting that media entities work against the populist agenda by promoting biased narratives and marginalizing dissenting voices.
Steve Bannon and guest Charlie Kirk discuss the strategic endorsements and confirmations of key political figures. They express strong support for Senator Pete Hegseth and Cash Patel, predicting their successful confirmations:
"I give Pete Hegseth 80 to 90% chances of now being confirmed."
— Charlie Kirk [35:42]
"Cash Patel will change the FBI to be an actual law enforcement agency to go after fentanyl trafficking, child sex trafficking, Chinese espionage."
— Charlie Kirk [36:31]
The hosts emphasize the importance of these appointments in advancing their political agenda and countering the perceived failings of the current administration.
Charlie Kirk announces the upcoming America Fest (AmFest), positioning it as a pivotal event for the populist movement. He highlights the event's role in celebrating victories and strategizing future actions:
"We're going to be live for a couple of days. We'll probably be doing a couple of side events to get to know everybody better."
— Charlie Kirk [31:10]
Kirk underscores the significance of grassroots support and community engagement, inviting listeners to participate actively in the movement's initiatives.
Bannon and guest Boris Epstein discuss the geopolitical instability in Syria and the broader Middle East. They caution against American military intervention, referencing historical precedents to argue for a more restrained foreign policy:
"We've got to be careful not to repeat the mistakes of Egypt, not to repeat the mistakes of what happened in Libya after Gaddafi and Lebanon all over the globe."
— Boris Epstein [49:47]
They advocate for avoiding entanglement in foreign conflicts, emphasizing the need to focus on national priorities and prevent unnecessary military engagements.
The episode touches upon frustrations with the IRS, highlighting perceptions of unfair targeting of ordinary citizens while wealthy individuals evade scrutiny:
"You owe back taxes, right? Here's why is the IRS targeting you and not millionaires who owe a fortune compared to you?"
— Steve Bannon (Advertisement Segment)
While this segment is part of promotional content, it reflects the broader narrative of distrust towards federal institutions prevalent within the populist discourse.
Boris Epstein provides updates on the ongoing legal challenges facing President Trump. He discusses recent dismissals of cases and frames them as victories against what they term "witch hunts":
"The federal cases are dead. Jack Smith dismissed the nonsense DC Case."
— Boris Epstein [45:26]
Epstein lauds the legal defense team's efforts, portraying the administration as overcoming judicial obstacles and reaffirming the legitimacy of Trump's political standing.
Throughout the episode, Bannon and his guests incorporate various product promotions and calls to action, encouraging listeners to engage with affiliated services and events. These segments include advertisements for companies like Birch Gold, My Patriot Supply, and Tax Network USA, as well as promotions for America Fest.
While these promotional inserts are interspersed within the content, they serve to reinforce the movement's network and provide avenues for financial and community support.
Steve Bannon:
"It's a core requirement to be ultra MAGA. Trump won the 2020 election."
[00:00]
"Populism is about redemption. Populism is about a spiritual element of it."
[27:00]
"We're never going to turn the page on that. Here's going to turn the page."
[00:00]
Charlie Kirk:
"I give Pete Hegseth 80 to 90% chances of now being confirmed."
[35:42]
"This is the largest, most definite mandate... in recent modern American history."
[37:39]
Boris Epstein:
"President Trump and his legal team... have done a completely unbelievable job."
[46:15]
"It's either definite and intentional or it's incompetence."
[50:32]
Episode 4116 of "Bannon's War Room" encapsulates a fervent defense of populist ideals and a strategic blueprint for countering current governmental and institutional structures. Through passionate discourse, the hosts and guests advocate for a revitalized American sovereignty, emphasizing the need for unified grassroots action, strategic political appointments, and a redefined national identity rooted in populism. The episode serves both as a rallying cry for supporters and a detailed exposition of the movement's strategies and objectives in the face of perceived institutional adversities.
