Loading summary
Unknown News Anchor
Director Christopher Wray telling the agency workforce that he will resign his position before the Trump administration takes over in January. These are his words. Quote, this is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau deeper into the fray while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work. This, of course, clears the way for Trump's pick, Cash Patel, to be the next director, if he can get through the confirmation process. He is a man who has signaled massive changes once he takes control.
Steve Bannon
The FBI's footprint has gotten so fricking.
Darren Beattie
Big, and the biggest problem the FBI has had has come out of its intel shops.
Steve Bannon
I'd break that component out of it.
David
I'd shut down the FBI Hoover Building.
Steve Bannon
On day one and reopening the next day as a museum of the deep state.
Unknown News Anchor
Because right now, he is the person who Donald Trump says he wants to replace. Chris Wray and a source familiar with the Trump transition team's thinking just said the following when asked for a response. Response to Ray's resignation. And this is the quote. The transition team is confident in Cash Patel and confident he will be ready to serve the American people on day one if he should be confirmed, which seems to be against the odds. David, is there any doubt he will start taking some of those actions on day one?
David
Oh, I think there's no doubt. I mean, he has said the 2020 election was stolen. He has said the Trump Russia investigation by Robert Mueller never should have been carried out. He's talked about, you know, firing large groups of people. I've talked to people who he cites in his book for allegedly committing these deep state crimes, and they don't even understand what he's talking about. They seem more to be people who he disagrees with politically or people he's had bad interactions with earlier in his career. So I don't want to be too harsh here. It's up to the Senate, but I cannot. I just want to emphasize, the level of concern among current and former FBI officials that Cash Patel is the wrong person to run the FBI is very, very high. There are other appropriate directors that Trump could choose or more appropriate people, more qualified, who don't use these deep state conspiracy theories, who could, I think, you know, or they think, serve the Trump administration well. But Cash Patel is alarming a lot of people.
Julie Kelly
I believe that every time Christopher Wray says these words, your description of my own approach, that I'm biased against certain conservatives, seems insane. It is insane to suggest that Christopher Wray and I haven't been in the government for A long time. But when I was, the idea that the FBI had any semblance of a mission that leans left was equally insane. And the idea that Christopher Wray couldn't have done good by saying over and over and over again how we approach our work of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution starts with me having emphasized to all of our folks over and over again in everything we do that we need to do the right thing in the right way. And that means following the facts wherever they lead, no matter who likes it. That isn't hyperbole. That is simply using your position of power to defend the work done by people who risk their lives every day in a climate where on the right people are calling them the Gestapo.
Unknown Commentator
Absolutely right. Hagman's comments were absolutely absurd. And Christopher Wray had every right to push back the way he did, call them insane. Doing the right thing is what principle is all about. And I must say I disagree with some of Caroline's comments. Leaders, particularly leaders of these institutions that keep our country safe and secure, really need to stand on principle, because if they don't stand on principle, their workforce won't stand on principle. And you want to have a bureau that respects the rule of law, that does the right thing, irrespective of the political winds that might be blowing. And being fired by a Donald Trump is not an act of public humiliation. It's a badge of honor, quite frankly. And Christopher Wray, again, over these seven years, he has demonstrated that he is going to do what he believes is right and what the bureau needs to do in order to keep us safe and secure. Donald Trump now is following the authoritarian's playbook, which is to put his sycophants, individuals of tremendous loyalty and fealty to him, in the positions of influence in the intelligence, the law enforcement, judicial and other branches of government. He wants individuals who are malleable. He wants a FBI director who's going to be his attack dog and go after his adversaries, his enemies, those rivals that he sees that pose a threat to him. And that's why, again, I am so disappointed that Director Wray has decided to step down. And I believe that a lot of individuals within the bureau feel the same way. That at a time of great challenge and great worry about what the bureau is going to have to do or be directed to do under a Trump administration. This is where I think Director Wray can stand on principle and demonstrate that he is going to set the example for the workforce that I'm going to do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may, because I've watched official Washington, including this White House, treat Trump as if he's already president.
Julie Kelly
Yes.
Unknown Commentator
Yeah, he's off doing foreign trips, he's having meetings, and Joe Biden is just sitting there in the White House or in Delaware or whatever, putting out here that or the other thing. Or when he does engage, as we saw with the Syria episode this weekend, it's like, okay, so what does Donald Trump think? And so this is the problem that we've now gotten to a point where we just embrace all of this as just normal Trump stuff. We're back in this world again, four years later, later, and here we are.
Julie Kelly
It's the opposite of how President Obama governed between election day in 2016 and Donald Trump's first inauguration in 2017.
Steve Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. Putin's 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.
Darren Beattie
And where do people like that go.
Steve Bannon
To share the big lie?
Darren Beattie
MAGA media.
Steve Bannon
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Steve Bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. It's a Wednesday, the 11th of December, year of our Lord 2024, the late afternoon early evening show. And man, what an explosive afternoon. Incredible. The American Gestapo. Let's get it right over there. We don't call it the Gestapo, we call it the American Gestapo. Stunningly, Chris Wray resigns. This is what's so great about these people. They're so tough and so puffed up and, you know, they're so going to do this and going to do that. They're running for the hills. Nobody thought Wray would resign. They thought Trump would have to fire him after he got in. And then it would be a court, it'd be a big fight, Congress would get involved. He quit. He quit because he's a wimp, a pencil neck, a loser. He's afraid of us. That's why he quit. And look at Brennan, look at the fear. Now they get it that they're going to have no stop at all for the investigations that are surely going to Happen on their criminality. You're going to see revved up tonight. Revved up tonight, Big league is the blanket preemptive pardon movement over there because they understand their crimes. Don't take it from me. Chuck Grassley. Chuck Grassley's is decent, you know, he's. He's kind of you. You go to the dictionary next to Iowa. Nice guy. Grassley's pictures there. He's putting blast out on, on, on. We'll have, we'll have this hack over at NBC, Ken Delaney. We'll go through his material here in a second saying, oh, Grassley's wrong. This is all fabricated. It's all wrong. If it's wrong, why do you quit? Why'd he quit? Why didn't have you talk about this? You love the institutions. You're going to do all this? You're going to sacrifice. You guys don't sacrifice anything the first time. A tiny bit of pressure from some crazy man here, yelling into a microphone, right? And you run for the hills. You're nothing but a bunch of wimps. Stand and fight. Show us something. You're such big talker. Show us something. Show us, come on, show us some resolve. Show us, you know, about a bunch of losers. You scrambling. What Ray's looking for is get that jet, that private FBI jet and I don't know, fly to Canada. Sorry, it's going to be the first 51st state. You can't hide out there. Go to Greenland. No, that's not going to work. Trump's going to buy it. You guys are pathetic. Julie Kelly joins us. Julie, you put out a very mean girl tweet earlier. But you know what? It's 100% right. Bye, bitch. What's Julie Kelly being mean girl this afternoon? I hate to say it. You kind of summed it up, didn't you? I mean, what's he doing? Where's all this tough. Where are the tough FBI guys? McCabe's on TV whimpering and whining. We're having serious conversations with inside the Family about actually leaving the country. Leave the country, dude. We'll track you down to the ends of the earth. And then the firestorm about cash or cash, this cash not suitable to FBI agents. That's why people love him and want him, because he's not suitable to you guys. A bunch of criminals. Julie Kelly, your thoughts. And this day would never have come, never have come if it was not for Julie Kelly. Julie Kelly, amazing work you went through this chapter and verse and just incredible, incredible work. I want to thank you it wasn't just you, but you were a major part of this, of Chris Wray and you're going to be a major part, I'm sure, in the Chris Wray investigation into his criminality, the vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump and the MAGA movement.
Unknown Guest
Ma'am, thank you, that's extremely generous. But I want to give a shout out to the reporters like my friend Molly Hemingway and others who were dogged in exposing FISA gate, Russiagate and of course Cash. Patel was front and center as the, as the lead staff member for Devin Nunes and the House Intelligence Committee. But for their work and reporters who were bucking the narrative about Russia collusion, we wouldn't have been able to peek into this deep corruption that has infected not just FBI headquarters. We now know that it is, it has infected all 56 FBI field offices because every office, Steve, has been involved in the investigation raids, I mean military style SWAT raids of American citizens and arresting them for their involvement in the events of January 6th. I do think that that and of course the unprecedented raid Donald Trump's home In August of 2022, those things really tipped the public trust in the FBI, which is now at an all time low despite what John Brennan or Nicole Wallace and I see Mary McCord, that weasel the initial FISA applications when she was with the Obama's National Security Division. They are all as corrupt as the day is long and they know it. And that's why they're terrified of criminals.
Steve Bannon
Lisa. Monica. Lisa Monaco. Lisa Monaco. Lisa Monaco is a criminal. Merrick Garland's a criminal. Chris Ray's a criminal. That's all going to come out in the fullness of time. In the fullness of time. Do I have time? I'm going to play the Candelane thing in the next. I got to play that just for Julie Kelly. Julie, are you stunned they don't have more fight? These people don't have more fight. They are such wimps. Chris Ray, the guy that replaced J, sitting in the seat of J. Edgar Hoover. J. Edgar Hoover. And what does he do? He folds like a cheap suit and runs away like a little girl. Where's the fight, bro? I guess that's right. Anybody. That's Chris Christie's lawyer. I guess he got the same toughness, toughness of Chris Christie, right? You're a pathetic. And this is such a great day. You ran like a little girl. And look at the faces of John, John Brennan. You see that John Brennan is like he. And they had Weissman earlier. They're dying right now. Are they not, Julie?
Unknown Guest
Yes. I saw Andrew Weissman actually do an interview last night on msnbc. He sure is subdued all of a sudden. You know, I call him the Valley Girl because he talks like Romy from Romy and Michelle. I don't know why a man like from New York has that a Valley Girl accent, but he does. And he was certainly very much more subdued than he normally is.
Steve Bannon
I don't know if I call him. Hey, hang on. Don't, don't, don't be trashing men from New York. I think Weisman's much closer to the Valley girl than he is. Men in New York do not ever say would never. Men in New York. I want to. Julie Kelly. She's from Chicago. Is that Chicago? This is that Chicago chip on your guys shoulders. You always taking shots at New York, right? They can't wait. The Windy City. American, Second American. Second city. Julie Kelly. Hang on. We got Beatty. We had Julie Kelly de Grass. They caught that. They caught the Democrats taking money from foreign entities to fund their campaigns. I think today, this Wednesday, Mo, I might be getting tired of winning. No, I'm not. Okay, John Bolton. This beauty, John Bolton. What a clown that guy is. The clown. Cash Patel doesn't belong at the FBI. Well, guess what, John Bolton, you can't get a job. We're gonna make sure you don't get a job and anywhere. And Cash Patel gonna be director of the FBI. Sir. Hey, call up that Bolton file. Kidding. Not kidding. God, look at Brennan's face, man, that, that gargle. Look at him, he's so nervous. Weissman's so nervous. Better be nervous, boys. The Americans Gestapo is going to get cleaned out. Buzz are going through the files. May see a couple three things. 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.

Today, as Donald Trump announced that he was going to select Cash Patel to be the next FBI director. Without commenting on the fate of the current FBI director, the implication was that Chris Wray would either have to resign or he would be eventually fired by Donald Trump as president. And so there was a debate among the people around Chris Wray about the best way to play this. And as Chris Wray said in his statement, he ultimately came down on the side that resigning would be better for the bureau and the workforce. And I think one of the factors, my reporting suggests that one of the factors that went into this is if you look at that Chuck Grassley letter, it makes a litany of baseless charges against Chris Wray and the FBI. It accuses them, for example, of ignoring bribery charges that could have been brought against Joe Biden and his.
Steve Bannon
Stop, stop, stop. Just put up. And don't rewind it. Put it right there. This guy should be fired immediately. He goes on for this long editorial. Chris Wray's done nothing wrong. Chris Wray's great. Chris Wray says baseless charges. The Grassley memos baseless charges. What is NBC News doing with this guy? Put him in MSNBC in the opinion section. We don't mind it. Let him go on the crazy talk shows as a crazy talk show there. He's supposed to be a reporter. This guy's a hack. Ken Delaney. Is it Delaney or Delaney? Delaney. This guy's a hack. It's not baseless charges. He knows. Not baseless charges. He just resigned and they're going to be. He's gonna be over there worming around for a preemptive pardon, bro. Blanket preemptive pardon. Now, this is one of the reasons. I don't know. Hey, I don't make any decision. I'm just crazy Irishman yelling to a microphone. But I think Andrew Weissman and some other these guys, quote, unquote, journalists working on these, these news organizations, quote, unquote, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know where an investigation will go. I don't know. Julie Kelly, are they baseless? Is Grassley's letter baseless? Did cause and effect when Grassley put the letter out and he let it be known that he, Grassley, over their judiciary wants to have an accounting by Chris Wray. Chris Wray, I think in 48 hours, resigned. That's called a scalp. If you're over working for the staff at Grassley like Mike Davis used to, that's a scalp, is it not, ma'am?
Unknown Guest
And you know Ken Delinean, we call him Fusion Ken because during Russiagate, he was taking his direct talking points from Fusion gps. Of course, the outlet political dirty operation that was pedaling the dossier around town. So he.
Darren Beattie
Fusion.
Steve Bannon
Hold it, hold it, hold it. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. What's his name? His name is Fusion Ken.
Unknown Guest
Fusion Ken. Fusion gps. He was just. He was taking his talking points directly from Glenn Simpson and Fusion.
Steve Bannon
I think you. I think you got a problem. I think you got a problem, brother. You took that. You took Fusion gps, which was a library, knew that was a lie, and you took talking points on that. I think you got a problem. I think you got a big problem. Go home. Tell the wife tonight, hey, I think we got a lawyer up. We got a lawyer up. We don't hear any more. You're coming out. There's a newsman saying it's baseless. Not baseless. Put that on an opinion show. Go sit on Rachel Maddow's lap. Say that we're tired of the media, these phony reporters at places like NBC, cbs, abc. We're tired of it. Of coming out and making editorial comment and making stuff up and lying, lying about Cash Patel. I want to say something right here, folks. My favorite topic. What would my favorite topic be if you said the Murdochs? You'd be absolutely correct. Today's Wall Street Journal. Right, the Wall Street Journal. So I got, I got, I got a. The main editorial. Look at the main editorial. Big old thing right? Here goes half a page. Half a page. The main editorial. This is what the Wall Street Journal thinks. Not even signed. It's unsigned because it's from the Wall Street Journal. How Tulsi Gabbard sees the world. Her dogmatic hard left view makes her a risky fit for assessing intel. So the down on Tulsi, they don't like Tulsi. Don't like her at all. Don't like her. So I flipped to the opinion page, the op ed page. Let's boys and girls, let's turn here and see what we have here. Oh, gosh, we have John Bolton. He has zero credibility. Cash Patel doesn't belong at the FBI. So I got Tulsi, she's hard left, her views don't count. I got Cash, he's unfit. And they smear him right here. You ought to get his lawyer on this thing. Right then, boys and girls. Then I got some hack here. I don't know who he is. Trump's misguided attack on birthright citizenship right there. And I top it off with, and this is the most reasonable, some guy from West Point saying, hey, Trump wants to get out of the wars, but it's not easy. You guys stay in the wars. The forever wars. That's the Wall Street Journal today. That's the Wall Street Journal today. Four massive opinion pieces from the Murdochs, all anti Trump and anti Trump program. And I mean, trying to be kill shots. This thing right here, John Bolton, they're quoting it all day on msnbc. Cash Patel. Well, guess what, John Bolton, Cash Patel is going to be the director of the FBI. Yep. Going to happen. Hearing it all over. He's going to be the director today. Ray, we took down Chris. Ray, this is a scalp for the war room. Yeah, Brennan, it's the American Gestapo. Let's get the name right. And somebody said, oh, Cash has already said he's going to keep the thing. Trump hadn't signed off on that. Cash didn't tell anybody that. But Trump ain't signed off on that. He wants that headquarters empty. Empty. And you're not building the new and not going to build the new Pentagon. Not going to do it. Not going to do it. Empty that building. Take the brutalist architecture. It's the ugliest building in D.C. and that's saying something. It's the ugly, but it smears, it's a black mark on that beautiful street with all the classical buildings down there. And take it apart. Let's give them a. Let's give the FBI Carthaginian peace like the Romans did. Take it apart brick by brick, or in this case, stucco, slab by stucco slab, and then salt the earth around it so nothing could ever grow there again. And don't make it a thing of the deep state, just drive a stake in here. Once upon a time, an organization that started an institution that started with the best intentions atrophied to be a mind police in a, in a, in a. In a dark force upon the liberties of the American people. And the American people rose up and in their sovereign will overthrew them. And this is a mark. This ground marks the spot where this evil took place. And it was taken apart brick by brick, we salt the earth and nothing will grow there for 1000 years. How about that? Suck on that. You don't have Ray to protect you. You thought Ray. They thought Ray was going to at least stick out for a year of Trump. Take Trump's pounding, but stick there. Get the files. Nobody can get to him. Cash can't get to him because he's still FBI director. And then after a while, Trump be so beat up on the financial side, so beat up on the deportation, so beat up about dragging him into wars from Syria to Ukraine. He'd be so beat up, he just. Old man. I can't even focus on the FBI. That's what they wanted. Hey, Brennan. Hey, Weissman. Didn't work out for you? Did we call it? We said he's going to run. You know why he's running? Because he's a gutless coward. That's why he's running. Bad man. Brennan said burning up that phone line over there. Reitzman's burning the phone line. Hey, I need a blanket. I need a blanket preemptive pardon. Julie Kelly, your thoughts, ma'am.
Unknown Guest
Just suggest that something might have precipitated this announcement today, and that is the expected release, could even come tomorrow. Steve. Of the long awaited and intentionally delayed DOJ Inspector General report on the FBI DOJ involvement in the events of January 6, which will confirm at least some of what we've been asking and a lot of what Chris Ray has been lying about out. And that is the use of FBI informants before and on January 6th. Michael Horowitz has completed that report. It's been in draft form since September, so it's been sitting on someone's desk for three months. But I'm hearing that there's potentially it could be released tomorrow, Thursday. And this will once again expose not just Chris Ray's use of the FBI to turn into what I call a domestic terror operation to go after Donald Trump, his associates, and, of course, his voters for January 6th investigation, but also all of his misrepresentations to Congress. Now, I have kind of a montage on Twitter that I posted twice today. Chris Wray's greatest hits, lying about January 6 and the use of FBI informants. You can look that up at Julie. Underscore Kelly 2. That just scratches the surface of Christopher Wray first intentionally lying and misleading Congress, then becoming indignant at the suggestion that the FBI could have precipitated the events of January 6th. So we'll see what Horowitz's report says, how much of it is redacted or unredacted. But I have full trust in our friend Kash Patel that to the extent it's redacted or only tells part of the story of the FBI's involvement, I'm sure that is towards the top of his very long list of things to investigate and expose. From Christopher Wray's FBI.
Steve Bannon
Julie, hang on one second. I want to go to. Is Darren Beattie up and working? Darren, I got about a minute here to just introduce your thoughts on this topic and we're going to bring both of you guys back your thoughts. Day On a historic day, Chris Wray took the bullet, sir.
Darren Beattie
Well, it's great. I only wish it had happened earlier. And even better, I wish he hadn't been appointed in the first place. But he is very much a symbol and an operative figure in what we've come to call the weaponization of government. Every single dimension of that, he and Merrick Garland and maybe one or two others belong in that particularly noxious category. But it's a good thing that he's left. Better than that he's there. But it's kind of. I wish it had happened earlier. And I deeply hope that he receives the accountability that he deserves and the country deserves.
Steve Bannon
Okay, Darren, Julie, just hang right there. Huge day. Historic day. An FBI director with still three years left on his term quit today in because of. Inquiring minds want to know exactly what he's been doing the last couple of years. Those minds would include Taren Beatty at Revolver, Julie Kelly, the independent investigative reporter War Room, and many, many, many others. We're taking a short commercial break.

No huge breaking news. I got. Okay, so number one, folks, we won in North Carolina. Thanks to the audience. You guys were magnificent. The speaker of the House who's going to Congress says bravo Zul, great job. We're trying to get him in the 6 o'clock hour, but a big massive win in North Gallows. Big win. You called this over. God, it's got to be a couple years ago when you were fighting on these North Carolina things. If we hadn't gotten North Carolina just saying may head Hakeem Jeffries, the speaker. Right?
Darren Beattie
That's right.
Steve Bannon
I mean, you got this. That was a called shot a couple of years ago, right?
Darren Beattie
That was a called shot a couple of years ago.
Steve Bannon
And we dug in hard, came down.
Darren Beattie
To the posse, really. And MAGA as a whole across the board, forcing the issue for fair maps. These aren't Republican maps. They're fair legal maps. And Steve and I were talking a couple weeks back because we were looking at the popular vote and how much of a wave this was. But then you look at the fact that we lost the seat.
Steve Bannon
Right.
Darren Beattie
Which I said was worst case.
Steve Bannon
But you doubted. You said, hey, listen, in your defense, you said it was worst case. But what went on in California, that's why I support what's going on in Carolina and everywhere. They're just going to sit there and manufacture ballots and take you three and four weeks and until they get up 500 votes, then they stop.
Darren Beattie
Yeah. I mean in California state law, ballots can keep appearing. They don't need to be postmarked. I mean, just that really needs to get out to the American people. And it will take a grassroots, aggressive effort. Maybe Elon can help whoever to get the funds to really force this. Because people don't support that when you explain it as such. Right.
Steve Bannon
I mean, Democrat moderates and conservative Democrats.
Darren Beattie
They think that's insane and that's what they get away with in California. And, and it's a disaster. And the next midterms, California, New York, New Jersey looks great. I mean, President Trump won in 13 seats that we did not take. And I think the number of people in Washington D.C. that would have said President Trump would outrun House Republicans, two of them are in the room and there's probably three or four other people in all of Washington D.C. that said, hey, Trump is going to be up ahead and Republicans will be running behind.
Steve Bannon
So a couple of things, because I know you got to get back over to the Hill, although you don't have an office there anymore.
Darren Beattie
That's right.
Steve Bannon
When the boss goes to the U.N. no, I'm out. Drummed out. No, that's because you're a troublemaker. Okay. And you know the audience has too much respect for you and I have too much respect for you. So please don't give me political talk.
Darren Beattie
Sure.
Steve Bannon
The NDA and I got Burchett's blowing guys up. MTG's blowing guys. I think we have Burchard on the NDA now. It turns out it's got what it's got a billion dollars worth of foreign military. I mean, it's all this stuff in there. Right. It's crazy. The NDA is a top line and I know you're going to make me feel better. Says, well, it's not hard number and it could be. But haven't we really handcuffed Vivek and Elon as they come in to work with vote and they got. Now you got Paoletta with the impoundments. They've taken McGinley out of white House counsel and put him on here. It's so important. Doesn't this take defense off the table?
Darren Beattie
So what I've been told. And the defense spending is always twofold because you kind of lay down what they want and kind of, you know, the hometown stuff, the district stuff, the priorities of each individual member of Congress. And these people on the Hill, I mean, they feel really strongly that they want their pie, their priorities for whatever their local stuff is. And then you have the military appropriations just like any of the other 12 appropriations so the meat comes through that.
Steve Bannon
No, but we can't. But no, but they have never come under the. I keep saying they hit the number. Yeah, because they use the number saying, hey, we already authorized 800 billion and so we got to hit. And so the appropriation is just spreading, dealing the cards to the different players.
Darren Beattie
That's right.
Steve Bannon
They never cut. So that's my point. You got, we have eight, we have $900 billion hard locked in here.
Darren Beattie
So they, well, it's not hard lock because it can get changed. And I asked four different people, I said, hey, you know, Doge this, that. And they said, look, this is just what we're putting forward. Hexit said he's going to audit. All of them have said they're going to perform it. I think that will take time. They're going to come to the table and the executive branch is going to have authority, I think on the Department of Defense to make changes. I think broadly, I think they'll be able to.
Steve Bannon
Huge breaking news today in an avalanche of news. I didn't want this to get lost because something you and I have been focused on for a long time, quite some time talk about and you kind of, you've told people this, but now it's out in the open.
Darren Beattie
Well, people thought I was insane and they actually told me, hey, you were on the careful.
Steve Bannon
You were on this even, even for war room. It's crazy.
Darren Beattie
So you know, so people have been talking about it and most importantly, you hear this from the posse. I mean I'm at an event, people come up me, it's foreign money. I'm like, I think it is too. But we're working on trying to prove it. Brian style, great guy. Not many people have heard of him. Solid, hardworking, in the weeds guy that runs House admin that sort of oversees elections from the perspective of the House has been digging on this in his committee under subpoena has gotten documents from acting blue. Just the news had it covered. John Solomon talked about it. He did an interview as well on this. And on September 9th they put in place a mechanism to prevent foreign bought gift cards. I'll say that again. Foreign bought gift cards, other high risk type of gift cards and other ways to essentially launder foreign money that didn't go in place until September 9th. So we're wine and the fundraising period Q3 between July 1st and September 30th with reports going public on October 15th. I was on this show and set being like $3 million raised. $3 million raised. All these candidates in these democrat seats that September 9th, quote unquote safeguard that they put in place, which they're admitting in legal terms that they were allowing. This obviously falls into place when they had the summer of money into the fall that we saw. And you could be talking about illegitimate elections when you think about it. And the fact that four countries that we're looking at, Venezuela, Iran, China, Russia.
Steve Bannon
Four random countries, those are the ones.
Darren Beattie
That folks believe are involved here and giving money to Democrats in record numbers. I mean, no, I've hit 10 years rewind on that. Sure.
Steve Bannon
You've been doing this for a decade. You've sensed something's wrong. And I'd love the fact that posse comes up to him in these things.
Darren Beattie
Dude, you'll do this. Foreign Money. And James O'Keefe has been at the tip of his Pierce too. I want to say that they've looked.
Steve Bannon
At this, knocking on doors and saying, hey, you're down for a thousand bucks. They go, look, I can't do 20 grand.
Darren Beattie
These median income neighborhoods where all these people on the street have given money to Democrats, there's a lot of ways they do it under other names, under whatever, right. And so it's really scary. And I think first we found out that, hey, they don't require the security code on a credit card form, typically my understanding. And it's bigger than just ActBlue because it's stripe, it's the processors, all far left companies, by the way, that really control the money in digital currency. Which is why the posse and other people have been skeptical broadly of the Internet and digital currency and just all of that stuff. Everything's tied in here because they know, they know where the money's coming from. They know the high risk accounts. Comer just said they think there's hundreds of unusual bank whatever alerts or whatever that's called. And so dig in because this is going to get absolutely wild. And we have been saying it. And so have you been saying it. The posse.
Steve Bannon
Here's what's interesting. Epoch Times, not the company, but the CFO there is under federal indictment, right. For the things with these kind of charge cards where something happened or these cards have been out of Vietnam. You notice the Justice Department's not on Act Blue. No Democrats indicted, no grand jury's indicted. It's got to be Stiles. It's got to be the admin. It's got to come from somebody else's investigation. This is why, Wray, this is why. The investigations on the vast criminal conspiracy of what the Democrats have done is going to be vast. It's going to take years. It has to be totally transparent. But go back to the countries. What are the potential countries involved?
Darren Beattie
Iran, Venezuela, Russia, China.
Steve Bannon
And does that strike you as odd?
Darren Beattie
And they all have an interest politically in Democrats being elected to office and.
Steve Bannon
Not having Trump back and not having MAGA guys in the Congress, definitely putting.
Darren Beattie
That safeguard into a Democrat House to try to prevent President Trump. Which, folks, is what we are up against now. This fight for the midterm has started. We have six months, I believe six, eight months to really focus on getting a palm card and a packet results. We need rfk. We need the whole team of folks in there.
Steve Bannon
Six months.
Darren Beattie
I know. There's so many good plans.
Steve Bannon
No, but they got to hit. You got to get. You got to put victories up. Significant wins for the American people. I think we will buy Labor Day of next year 100%. And your palm card is the checklist. You can show somebody, this is what we did accomplish.
Darren Beattie
You, the voter.
Steve Bannon
Otherwise, they're going to raise $2 billion. And folks wait for this. They're going to. If they win and they flip some of these seats, they win. The first thing Hakeem Jeffries does is impeach Trump. We're back to that. We're back to the beginning.
Darren Beattie
Yeah. I think it's wild.
Steve Bannon
Before I let you. Yeah, before I let you go. North Carolina, with his two thirds and particularly audit, they're down there screaming that, oh, you're putting elections under audits. But Carolina, these things are having these problems where you have to do audits.
Darren Beattie
Yeah. Let me just say this. And this is breaking news in Elise's district, and no one knows this yet. Good Republican county, nice people. I'm not here to attack them, but they made a mistake. 500 votes just switched. And this is because my guys have solid guys going through. And we always do a report. Every year, every election that I've been involved, you know, we look at every number, every precinct, we noticed a massive discrepancy where they mess up the excel. Just an honest mistake. I'm assuming 500.
Steve Bannon
Not for Elise.
Darren Beattie
Yes, that. Switch now to Elise. And it's always in that direction.
Steve Bannon
Hang on, hang on. That's right. Listen, it's always in one direction. It's always for the Democrats.
Darren Beattie
But this is our staff doing the grunt work, looking into it. Auditing is. Every election should be audited carefully. In fact, polling shows the American people support that. When we dealt with the Arizona audit and when Elise was running for Commerce chair against Liz, Cheney, that was sort of kind of the. And she came on here, I think her first time, and talked about the audit, gave support to the audit, caused a massive meltdown. Cnn, the whole thing. But when we poll audits, it's like 75% of people support independently auditing elections. It's something that we have to work towards. You look at North Carolina. This is crazy. I mean, Elias in many ways is losing. I mean, he's tried, he's a tough game. But the more people talk about election integrity, the more the grassroots is in the room up front. We train our people and we execute on it. We win. It's that simple. It's fascinating.
Steve Bannon
So that's why that's so important to get around the table. Last thing before I let you go. The Trump effect on Capitol Hill inside give us what the vibe is.
Darren Beattie
I think people, I think it's a wake up call. When you look at his raw vote count, I think that speaks for itself. I think, you know, Bernie Marino, I don't know if you saw his quick segment. I think he was maybe with Tulsi. I mean, that really encapsulate, you know, the Senate, they've been there longer, and so I think it's a different game because they're on the ballot every six years, right? So it's a little bit different. The House, you look at the House, most of them have come in in the Trump era. And so the House is very maga. When you look at it as a whole, so many people, you don't know their name. They're kind of average guys from the south or whatever. But I think that the unity there is pretty good. And nothing's ever perfect, of course, but people, I mean, you look at these nominees, you look at how people have come around, you look at what the grassroots has done. I mean, I've got people telling me they're making phone calls through Mike Davis. I mean, I've got voters in upstate New York and they don't know. I'm good friends with Mike Davis, saying, Article 3 project, we're working the phone, we're calling Senate. I mean, everything is really happening. What I love seeing about this group of people is we haven't stopped because we know the fight is really just beginning in the scheme of things. And we got to where we got. But now it's really time to do that.
Steve Bannon
What impresses you, that you've never seen before is normally after an election, like 16 million people just check out and they come back a year from now or something like that. People are up on the ramparts right away.
Darren Beattie
I've never seen the engagement from grassroots at all levels in the weeds looking especially under the Senate, making sure everything is airtight. And I, you know, it's a positive thing. I think we're going to continue and really focus on the local elections, which are key, the precinct strategy and then lock in for the midterms where you're.
Steve Bannon
Back with a new Congress on the third, I hope. I'm pushing to get a flood the zone on the 5th or 6th for confirmation. Do you think that will start? You think that will happen?
Darren Beattie
Yeah, I think he's to be positive. You know, I think they need reinforcement. You know, hey, I'm a voter. This, this is what I believe in. You know, we need it's actually historically been very rare for a cabinet secretary level for your own party to vote against. So I want that to be clear to people. That's not a normal thing to vote against your own party's nominee for any of the cabinet positions. But I think that's huge, particularly when.
Steve Bannon
A guy walks in like Trump, like a beast and has the kind of.
Darren Beattie
The raw every battleground saying a popular vote for Republicans. We haven't seen that.
Steve Bannon
We got to jump social media.
Darren Beattie

So they have a bunch of different stores that promote their companies on public square.com you can go there. I highly encourage everyone. If you haven't done your Christmas shopping yet, you can find everything from women's clothing, men's clothing, stuff for your pet.
Steve Bannon
And all these different companies support your values. They're all great products, but you got to ascertain it. But these are people that kind of pass the smell.
H
They're definitely, they're conservative companies that believe and have the same values that we do and they are tired of companies that don't have those same values. You know, Starbucks, all these other companies that promote things that we don't believe in. And on Public sq, these companies do have the same values as usual. And that's why it's such a great site to find all these different companies and encourage you for especially your Christmas shopping since it's getting very close to Christmas.
Steve Bannon
Don Jr. Is now on the board over there. And of course they're lighting them up because of that stock's gone up a lot. But just go to the site and check it out. Let's go to. We still got Julie. Kelly. Julie, your closing thoughts On Chris Reyes, a huge day for you. They're all defending Chris Raisin. He's the greatest guy ever. He never should have done it. And they're trashing Cash Patel because they fear him, ma'am.
Unknown Guest
Right. So, I mean, we keep naming names as far as people who need to be investigated and held accountable. Christopher Wray towards the top of that list. Because, Steve, under Chris Ray's seven year reign, the public's trust in the FBI has completely crashed. Latest Gallup poll in September indicated only 22% of Republicans view the FBI favorably. I suspect that number is far lower. But maybe they're afraid to tell someone that they don't trust the FBI. And the number is only a little bit better among independents. Of course, Democrats love the FBI because it's been used for the past several years to go after Donald Trump, his associates and his voters. So we need a full exploration investigation into so many scandals with this FBI, starting with the raid at Mar a Lago and also the ongoing military style SWAT armed raids against American citizens who participated in the events of January 6th.
Steve Bannon
Julie, before I let you go, you put this tell us where people can go for this big piece that you're putting out because you're naming names now, you're naming judges. You're saying exactly what the judges did. You're doing these definitive pieces. And tomorrow, I guess, or the next day, you're saying we may get Horowitz's this mythical IG report that's been floating out there for, I think, years. Right. You're saying we may be 24 to 48 hours away from getting it. Talk to us about your reporting and where people can go to get all your analysis.
Unknown Guest
So am I substack Declassified with Julie Kelly also big piece you're alluding to talking about the judges denying motions to halt trials to stop people from going to jail based on Trump's promise of pardons for J. Sixers. That's a real clear investigations. Of course, I'm on Twitter a lot. Julie, underscore Kelly 2 and if we get the Horowitz report tomorrow or Friday, of course I will be live covering that on X, posting snippets of that report. And you know where we go from there because the real tragedy of this intentional delay of this report about the FBI's involvement in January 6th is it could have represented exculpatory evidence for these defendants in D.C. courtrooms. The fact that the government has hidden the involvement of FBI assets on January 6 has denied the due process rights of January 6. Defendants a real travesty.
Steve Bannon
No, it's terrible. But there'll be. We'll set things right on that. I do want to have you back. I'm making a public request now, Julie Kelly, we got to come back. And since you've introduced Fusion Ken to the American people, but Ken Delinean Delaney, I guess I want to come back and do a mashup of his terrible reporting and make sure that we can make him as famous as everybody else. NBC ought to fire this hack right away. But, Julie, I'm committing you now to come back at some time in the future and we'll go through. We'll spend some time doing that.
Unknown Guest
Let's do it. That'll be fun. Love it.
Steve Bannon
Julie. Thank you, ma'am. Appreciate you. Her hard work on the J6. I mean, this is. And look, you could argue, because I had heard that Ray was going to leave Friday, and I was kind of shocked when I first heard him because I said there's no way that he kind of admits that the pressure we're putting on him has got some background to it and that's why he's taken off. He would at least gut it out for a year and take it and try to defend his position and particularly cover up for Weissman and Brennan and all these guys. But to see you fold it is just, to me, kind of a shocker.
H
Honestly, I'm not so shocked because I feel like he would be more embarrassed on day one to be fired, publicly fired. And I think that he resigning is trying to save face, but it's not saving face at all. You can't defend. He can't defend his actions. His actions are indefensible. So I think that to him, this is the lesser of not two evils, but the lesser of the humiliation. I resign now instead of being publicly humiliated because it would have been a public humiliation on day one for him being fired. Like he so right fully deserves to be public humiliation.
Steve Bannon
Like they pulled Peter Navarro at Reagan National Airport. Peter Navarro, then 70 years old. They pulled Peter Navarro, now senior counselor to the President of the United States, then counselor to the President of the United States, an assistant to the president, one of the 12 highest things you got pulled him off a plane, shackled him like a dog in front of everybody at National Airport to humiliate him. Well, guess what, folks? What goods for the goose is better for the gander. And I want to say something about President Trump, said all these great FBI guys and the president, they do love him, but where are the whistleblowers Cash has got a bunch, but that's a hand handful. 35,000 people. And you were quiet. You were silent. Just like, I don't know. Let me pull some. Oh, the Gestapo in the ss? Yep. Oh, we were just following orders. That. That is not. That's Herman Goring's line of defense. It doesn't work. Didn't work in Nuremberg. Is not going to work here. It's a disgrace. A disgrace. A disgrace. What happened? Warpath Coffee. You know, I've got a big. I had to get. I gave a speech this afternoon. Mo took me over, talked to the black entrepreneurs of Rainer Jackson. Had a great group. Took Q and A. But I needed.

Summary of Episode 4120: "Wray Resigns In Fear Of Being Held Accountable; Trump Effect On Capitol Hill"
Release Date: December 12, 2024
Podcast: Bannon's War Room
Host: Steve Bannon
Guests: Julie Kelly (Investigative Reporter), Darren Beattie (Political Commentator)
The episode opens with the announcement of FBI Director Christopher Wray's resignation. Wray addressed the agency, stating,
“This is the best way to avoid dragging the bureau deeper into the fray while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work.”
— Unknown News Anchor [00:00]
This move paves the way for Donald Trump's nominee, Cash Patel, to potentially take over as the next FBI Director pending Senate confirmation. Patel has indicated plans for significant changes within the FBI upon assuming the role.
Steve Bannon expresses strong criticism of the FBI's growing influence:
“The FBI's footprint has gotten so fricking big,”
— Steve Bannon [00:32]
Darren Beattie adds concerns about the FBI's intelligence operations, while highlighting the internal issues arising from these expansions.
David, another commentator, proposes radical changes:
“I'd shut down the FBI Hoover Building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the deep state.”
— David [00:41]
David elaborates on Cash Patel’s suitability:
“He has said the 2020 election was stolen. He has said the Trump-Russia investigation by Robert Mueller never should have been carried out... Cash Patel is alarming a lot of people.”
— David [01:20]
He emphasizes the high level of concern among current and former FBI officials regarding Patel's potential leadership, suggesting that there are more qualified individuals who do not propagate "deep state conspiracy theories."
Julie Kelly defends Christopher Wray, countering claims of bias:
“I have emphasized to all of our folks over and over again in everything we do that we need to do the right thing in the right way. That means following the facts wherever they lead, no matter who likes it.”
— Julie Kelly [02:20]
An unknown commentator supports Kelly's stance, criticizing Trump for attempting to place loyalists in key government positions and expressing disappointment over Wray's resignation:
“Donald Trump now is following the authoritarian's playbook... I am so disappointed that Director Wray has decided to step down.”
— Unknown Commentator [03:20]
Steve Bannon intensifies his rhetoric against the FBI, labeling it the "American Gestapo" and accusing it of being an instrument of the deep state. He mocks the resignation of Wray, portraying it as a sign of fear within the bureau:
“They’re running for the hills. Nobody thought Wray would resign. They thought Trump would have to fire him after he got in.”
— Steve Bannon [06:23]
Julie Kelly and other commentators debate the integrity and actions of the FBI, with Bannon asserting that high-profile figures like John Brennan and Andrew Weissman are subdued and fearful of impending investigations.
Julie Kelly discusses the anticipated release of the Department of Justice Inspector General's report on the FBI's involvement in the January 6th events:
“This will once again expose not just Chris Wray's use of the FBI to turn into what I call a domestic terror operation... but also all of his misrepresentations to Congress.”
— Julie Kelly [24:18]
She anticipates that the report may reveal the FBI's misuse of informants and dishonesty towards Congress, further undermining public trust in the bureau.
The conversation shifts to election integrity, focusing on North Carolina's election audits. Both Bannon and Beattie argue that flawed auditing processes favor Democrats, citing discrepancies and alleged ballot manufacturing delays:
“In California state law, ballots can keep appearing. They don't need to be postmarked... it's crazily over, it's a disaster.”
— Steve Bannon [31:16]
Darren Beattie highlights the influence of foreign money in Democratic campaigns, pointing to countries like Iran, Venezuela, China, and Russia as having vested interests in Democratic victories.
Darren Beattie outlines strategies for upcoming midterms, emphasizing grassroots involvement and election audits to ensure Republican victories. He notes the heightened engagement and unity within the House, attributing it to the enduring influence of the Trump movement.
“I've never seen the engagement from grassroots at all levels... The fight is really just beginning.”
— Darren Beattie [42:10]
Bannon and Beattie discuss the importance of election audits and the potential impact of Cash Patel's FBI leadership on future investigations and political dynamics within Capitol Hill.
In the episode's closing segment, Julie Kelly reiterates the need for comprehensive investigations into FBI misconduct and the imminent release of the Inspector General's report. She emphasizes the erosion of public trust in the FBI, particularly among Republican constituents.
Bannon urges listeners to stay informed and engaged, promising further analysis and coverage of the unfolding political landscape.
“The public’s trust in the FBI has completely crashed... We need a full exploration investigation into so many scandals with this FBI.”
— Julie Kelly [47:21]
Steve Bannon [00:32]: “The FBI's footprint has gotten so fricking big.”
David [00:41]: “I'd shut down the FBI Hoover Building on day one and reopen it the next day as a museum of the deep state.”
Julie Kelly [02:20]: “...we need to do the right thing in the right way. That means following the facts wherever they lead, no matter who likes it.”
Unknown Commentator [03:20]: “Donald Trump now is following the authoritarian's playbook... I am so disappointed that Director Wray has decided to step down.”
Julie Kelly [24:18]: “This will once again expose not just Chris Wray's use of the FBI to turn into what I call a domestic terror operation... but also all of his misrepresentations to Congress.”
Darren Beattie [42:10]: “I've never seen the engagement from grassroots at all levels... The fight is really just beginning.”
Episode 4120 of Bannon's War Room centers on the resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray amidst concerns over the agency's direction under potential new leadership. The discussion delves into accusations of FBI overreach, the impending appointment of Cash Patel, and the broader implications for election integrity and Capitol Hill dynamics. Through a series of passionate dialogues and critical analysis, hosts and guests articulate a narrative of governmental overextension and call for heightened vigilance in upcoming political contests.
