Mika Brzezinski
Ray did not have to do this. I want to be very clear here. Trump hired him to serve a 10 year term. That's the law. This isn't just plucked out of thin air. In fact, the law was passed in 1976 with overwhelming bipartisan support and it was part of the post Watergate government reforms. It says clearly the term of service of the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall be 10 years and a Director may not serve more than one 10 year term. Now, the reason we have those term limits and the reason we try to insulate FBI directors from presidential appointments is of course, J. Edgar Hoover, who ran the FBI and its precursor for almost half a century until his death in 1972. There's thousands of people in the FBI. I think folks at the Hoover Building are probably, you know, worried about the fact that Cash Patel says he wants to evacuate the building and turning into a museum of the deep state. But as a whole, you have an FBI that is pretty conservative politically, I think it's fair to say, maybe one of the more conservative arms of the US Federal government. And that email and who. The deputy director. Who is going to be the deputy director and what is that email he got?
- [01:11]
Joe Scarborough
Yeah, so Paul Abade is the deputy, but he got this email very shortly after January 6th saying that, you know, Fox News is on in a lot of our various field offices saying that essentially a lot of people were supportive of what happened. And there is this contingent especially it's a group that I've learned is pretty closely connected to Cash Patel of the so called suspendables, who have really been working pretty closely with Cash Patel. So, I mean, there is definitely a contingent within the FBI of people who are just kind of not happy with the way that things are going and supportive of Donald Trump in general and supportive of major reforms. You have a group of individuals outside of the bureau now, former FBI special agents, who really do want the FBI sort of busted up and sort of shattered in a lot of ways.

Mika Brzezinski
Chris Wray had a chance to stay.
- [01:59]
Stephen K. Bannon
In there and fight like Jay Powell who said, I'm not going anywhere. And the thing about Donald Trump is.
- [02:06]
Mika Brzezinski
We'Ve seen in the past a lot.
- [02:07]
Stephen K. Bannon
Of times he will push up to the line and hold and wait. Shouldn't Ray have stayed in there for the sake of history?
- [02:16]
Mika Brzezinski
So, so history would record that Donald.
- [02:19]
Stephen K. Bannon
Trump fired two FBI directors. Unprecedented. One of them an FBI director that he actually appointed himself.
- [02:27]
Cash Patel
I think he should have stayed 100%. We were counting on him too. You know, everybody's got to kind of hit the barricades right now and do what's best for the country, not what's best for themselves or what's best for an agency. And I thought this was a unique opportunity to have a one of those guardrails of we have so few that at least there would be a continuity there in FBI, so things wouldn't go harem scarum right after the inauguration. But alas, now Trump's going to get the FBI. And that's if there is such a thing as a Department of Revenge and Retribution, that's where it's going to be emanating from, from Cash Patel and the people he brings in. And I think it's unfortunate that Ray could have stayed in maybe three months, six months in, and then, and then perhaps backed out.
- [03:15]
Tulsi Gabbard
Alimony. I'm curious if what we just heard here is reflected in the thoughts on Capitol Hill. You've got a number of different nomin like Pete who, Pete Hegseth who. He's unqualified. These are just facts. And he's behaved in ways that may disqualify him. And there are just questions in terms of his basic ability to do a job. Then there are nominees or ideas like Cache Patel and Tulsi Gabbard. These are people who have outwardly engaged or spoken in ways that are dangerous to American democracy, if I've said that right. Are Republicans showing that they are aware of this distinction and that they are aware of the dangers at stake? Yeah, Mika, there's actually sort of two tracks of mine going on on Capitol Hill right now, according to the number of people I spoke to yesterday after the news of Wray's resignation, one of them being the nominations track going on. But also the fact that this news comes on the tails of the Justice Department inspector general announcing that the Trump administration had previously used concerning and surreptitious tactics to monitor congressional staffers and to Democratic lawmakers and obtain their communications, that there is very clearly a precedent here for Trump abusing some of the vast powers of surveillance that the Justice Department has. And as Cash Patel has basically clearly stated that he plans on doing. We know that there were 43 congressional staff staffers whose communications were monitored as a part of investigations into who was leaking to potentially to reporters during the justice department and the FBI's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election. And this is something that was top of mind for many of the staffers that I spoke with yesterday who flagged this inspector general's report. But in terms of the nominations, these Things all sort of feed into one another cache. Patel is someone as is Tulsi Gabbard who have kind of flown under the radar and sort of sailed through the process so far as a result of all of the scrutiny that's been on Pete Hegseth whose nomination for now has, has been relatively stable. We saw a number of non committal statements about the candidates meeting with Republican senators throughout the week this week for one on one meetings. But right now, other than the usual suspects, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Mitch McConnell, there is not a lot of opposition to these people. There are some sort of milquetoast concerns, especially about Tulsi Gabbard, but not about Patel for the reasons that we're talking about. So you know, I talked to a Trump administration, a Trump transition official last night who says that they're really not concerned with many of their nominees at the moment and feel like their approach, especially with Hegseth of fighting his detractors has really been effective.

Peter Navarro
Elect Donald Trump.
- [06:27]
Stephen K. Bannon
It's.
- [07:18]
Steve Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going.
- [07:26]
Stephen K. Bannon
Medieval on these people. You're just not got a free shot.
- [07:30]
Steve Bannon
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.
- [07:36]
Stephen K. Bannon
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but.
- [07:38]
Steve Bannon
You'Re not going to stop it.
- [07:39]
Stephen K. Bannon
It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
- [07:43]
Mika Brzezinski
MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul.
- [07:47]
Stephen K. Bannon
I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Cash Patel
War room here's your host, Stephen k.
- [08:03]
Stephen K. Bannon
Ban Thursday 12th December year of our Lord 2024 President Trump man, oh man, it's just, he's dropping not just bombs, but you know, he is a blunt force instrument and he's leaving blunt force trauma. Blunt force instrument leaving blunt force trauma. Here's all their big talk. We're going to resist this. We're going to do this. We're going to have this. We got this. So Mark alliance, take your number two principal and write this down. You're getting crushed right now. You're getting crushed across the board. If you're going to be a strategist and not just some hack lawyer that's in, in places like North Carolina trying to steal or in California just trying to get your guys to print ballots all day long because the Local laws enforce you, but you really want to get it together, okay? Get it together. You've got to have your folks. The first thing you got to do is it's the way you project. You can't ever show fear. If you show fear, we're just going to run the tables on you like you would have done us if we had shown fear. President Trump never showed fear. The war room posse never showed fear. Peter Navarro, Boris Epstein, Dan Scavino, Cash Patel, others people put in prison. Tom Barak, the newly announced ambassador to Turkey. They gave him diesel therapy, shackled him and put him in a prison, I think for 10 days, and a nasty one, too, to try to break him. Tried getting a roll on Trump, didn't do it. Went to trial, boom. Testified, I think for five days, acquitted. That's fearlessness. You people are like little children. We can smell the fear, we see the confusion. And now it's just double and triple down. There's a great article, I think, by Haberman and Swan today about the Pete Hicks situation. And I've got a quote in there, you know, the fixed bayonets. No more Gateses. No more Gateses. They just told you right there in the shows. The one thing we didn't show with Jackie Alamy. Alamy, Jackie Alamey, she's a young reporter over the Washington Post. Very aggressive, very good. She's always bird dogging stories. A Trump hater and an anti maga, but she's relentless. Morning Mikael. And she's one of the rising stars. She's one of the ones they're trying to promote. As you know, this person is a young rising star. That's where she gets great slots on Morning Joe and in the evening shows. You can kind of pick who the talent is by where they position them. We didn't have time to do it. Morning Mika literally cut her off when she said that. Hey, it's some token resistance. It's all phony. They're all going to get. They're all going to get confirmed. They're all going to get confirmed. Boom. Let's go to commercial break. I'm sure she got chewed out afterwards. By the. By the Morning Mika crowd, you can't say that. And then the professors right there by on Chris Hayes last night, the smart people last night in the Alex Wagner show and Chris Hayes show, because the rest of us in Stephanie Rule, they're all sitting there going, oh, my God, why didn't he stay? Why did he leave? He capitulated. Ray capitulated. He capitulated to Us. He capitulated to President Trump. He capitulated to what he's known. He's done. Now it's just rumor. So I don't know this for a fact, but I'm hearing, you know, the buzz go out that maybe the IG report is sometime in the near future. The IG report on January 6th. Note to self, put this in your notebook, write this down. Hmm. Interesting. It's the 12th of December, the year of the Lord 2024. About in mid December. Wow. We're about a month after the election. This thing's been done for a while. Hmm. Why didn't it come out like a month before the election? I'm asking for a friend. Curious minds want to know. Ray. They needed Ray to stay for a year. They needed Ray to stay for a year. Brennan needed him. McCabe needed him. Mayor Garland needed him. They needed him. They needed him to stand in the breach. If he had stood in the breach. Here's their theory of the case. If he stood in the breach and you look at the converging forces of what we talk about all the time, the war, the debt, and the invasion. Let's just keep it simple. The war, the Third World War, the kinetic part where our. And can we get Admiral StaVridis up on MSNBC? Can we actually understand. I just. I don't get this Admiral Stavridis and all you. NATO, it's the most greatest alliance. Why is a NATO member Turkey bombing? Everybody down there bombing Kurds, bombing Christians. The Ottoman Empire is on a roll. They unleashed ISIS and they unleashed Al Qaeda, and they unleashed. Because it's all Muslim Brotherhood. It's all Muslim Brotherhood. You got the Persians on one side, you got the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas is Muslim Brotherhood. And I don't want to hear, oh, they got. They got Persian back. They got some. But it's Muslim Brotherhood. And Hezbollah is a proxy army for the Persians. It's got the Persians and the Turks, Turks playing the Muslim Brotherhood game, Persians playing their game. So you got the war, you got the debt, and you have the invasion. And all they're doing is. And here's their feeling, if they jam Trump up enough, they jam Trump up enough that the investigations in the deconstruction administrative state will have to be put on the back burner because the three converging things are on. They're going to all converge in a point, and they're doing everything right now possible to make sure they shot blocking. So they need Ray to hang. Ray, bro, you gotta hang. If they can't get to the FBI, you can't get to the investigative apparatus, Main justice, and even the U.S. attorneys. They're kind of nothing without the investigative power of the FBI. This is why we want to seize the institution. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. To take it away from the lawfare crowd, to take it away from the people who try to destroy this country. Ray understands that. Hey, guys, note this. In Morning Joe, in Evening msn, he's seen the New York Times, in the Washington Post, all the media information war. He capitulated. He surrendered. He walked out with the white flag. Hands up. White flag. Hands up. I give up. Please treat me well. Next in the war room.

Tulsi Gabbard
Today Cabinet position where a new president comes in, he picks his new team. Christopher Ray has a 10 year appointment.
- [16:27]
Stephen K. Bannon
Obviously there's been a ton of public.
- [16:29]
Tulsi Gabbard
Pressure, but he's choosing to step down. Is it fair to say Trump's pressure.
- [16:33]
Stephen K. Bannon
Kind of forced him to do it?
- [16:37]
Peter Navarro
This is an important point that the public needs to understand and this is not normal. A 10 year term is deliberate for an FBI director, for all FBI directors after J. Edgar Hoover to prevent both a director taking too long in office. Hoover was there for 40 years. But also to ensure that this wasn't a political assignment where you'd leave with every new administration. So 10 years was the designated term. What Chris Wray decided to do today was to really do something that further politicizes the FBI. He's attaching his decision to an incoming president who doesn't like him and has announced that he's going to fire him. I would have preferred that Chris Wray decided to make Trump fire him, break another norm and go down in history for someone who fired two FBI directors. But that's not what's happening today. I'm really worried about the rank and file men and women of the FBI today and moving forward, and then the ultimately, the future of the FBI as an agency that's going to remain neutral, not become an arm of the White House. We've got a nominee in Cash Patel, who's not only not qualified, but more importantly has said repeatedly he intends to go after people for doing their job, for prosecuting, for investigating journalists, for being in the media. That's not who Chris Wray was, and that's not who the FBI is. Agents who think he should have been more forceful in defending the bureau against Trump. But he chose to go the quiet route, and I respect that. Okay. But I've read through his transcript of his town hall employee meeting today a couple of times, and what he's saying is that he thought it was better for the institution. I think the fear was that if he was going to get fired, Trump was going to have to gin up some kind of dirt, some kind of slaps on the FBI, as if we haven't heard enough of that from Trump. That would further drag the bureau and the men and women of the bureau through the mud. And what Chris Wray is saying today is, we don't need that to happen. I'll get out before he fires me. And look, with regards to headquarters, which Cash Patel claims he was going to shut down on day one, people are starting to leave this week alone, Stephanie. Two assistant directors decided to retire. They were eligible for retirement, but they weren't mandatory. They didn't hit the age of mandatory age yet. I think more of that's coming. With regard to the field, the concern I'm hearing is that, look, look, we get there's going to be massive change at headquarters, but at the moment, it affects our decisions in the field in terms of what we can open and close and who we can investigate or not. Questions I've heard being asked is, are we going to be allowed to open a corruption case against a Republican mayor or a governor? Are we going to be allowed to open a counterintelligence case against Russia? Because it appears Trump is friendly with Putin all of these questions are concerns. And combine that concern with the fact.
- [19:31]
Stephen K. Bannon
That I want to deal with. Yo, bro. Preserve your documents and lawyer up. All of you guys, all you FBI spokesman former guys, everybody associated with the 51 letters that have been signed, the 51 your security clearance is going to be pulled immediately. Preserve your documents and lawyer up. So don't say when stuff gets pulled from you later. Hey, I didn't know that you got warned in the war room over and over again. Preserve your documents and lawyer up to the Cash Patel situation about his qualifications. They've had judges, they've had. Come on, man, 65% of the FBI now, I think on a budgetary basis is in counter intel or intelligence, counterintelligence and counterterrorism. Those three areas, intelligence, counterintelligence and in counterterrorism, particularly post 9 11. This is what Cash told me. He said the footprint's going, the budget's exploded. Why do you think they need a headquarters building that Maryland and Virginia have been at each other's throats fighting for? Because it's the size of the Pentagon. Now why is it the size of the Pentagon? It's not because they're playing cops and robbers. Only 35%, I think, of the budget, or 40% of the budget is with traditional law enforcement. That's kind of the afterthought. Unless they're jackbooting in to get people praying the rosary at abortion centers or unless they're jackbooting down the door to shackle parents who have been at, who had been at school board meetings that they took your license plate in there and watched the tape because you're sitting there. You don't want this pervert bizarro porn forced down your kid's throat in the classroom by some loser with purple spiked hair. That's still a relatively small part. That's what Cash talks about the big footprint in the interview. They better start embracing. Cash is much more amenable and much more even handed than the ultra maga base. We don't want to turn it into a cash note. Hey bro. We don't want to turn it into a museum of the deep state. They don't deserve a museum. We want to take that, what's called brutalist architecture. I think it's from the Mussolini's fascist 30s in Italy. We want to take that horrible building apart, which is an eyesore. And just like the Romans did at Carthage after, I believe it was the third Punic war, Scipio Africanus said, what do we do here? Because remember, it was Cato the Elder. Cato the Elder. After everything, Cato, the elders in the Senate, whether he's talking about education or he's talking about taxes or he's talking about cleaning the streets. Because everything came to the Roman Senate. Remember? The people in Senate of Rome. Was it spqr? The people in Senor. Everything they argued he'd finish everything. Cato the Elder, Carthago, Delinda, Est. Oh, and Carthage must be destroyed. You know why he did that? That's information warfare. That's psychological warfare. He put it into the people's mind. No matter what we're discussing, there's only one thing that really matters and that's we have to destroy that enemy. Because until we destroy that enemy, we're not free. It's kind of like, I don't know, my dispositive question at the top is this. The CCP. Is the 21st century, the CCP going to win or the American Republic? Because everything's got to come under that. So no Cash. I want to do what Scipio Africanus and Cato the Elder wanted to do. It's the American Gestapo. It's been. And you see these guys on TV all the time. They just tell you how they're going to be. Weissman, all this crowd, McCabe, Comey. It can't be reformed. It's not about people. It's not about putting in better people. This is a systemic problem. And they keep saying. And they're lying about Cash. He didn't say shut down the intelligence operation, the counterintelligence operation, or the counterterrorism. He's saying, get rid of it. What that has to be done because I'm a very strong advocate that we get rid of the FBI. In total, you take those three elements, which are 60%, 65% of the budget, approximately, and you're going to put those in other agencies. You're not going to put them into the CIA because the CIA is not supposed to. Not supposed to deal anything domestically. Although Bobby Kennedy, RFK Jr. Is on a terror. He wants all those files in JFK because he's thinking, hey, I'm not buying that. I think the CIA might have had a. Might have had something to do in the assassination of my uncle. I'm just saying. And remember in that book that was written about the Church Commission, when Church puts Gary Hart onto the CIA, they put. Hart was a young hot runner and Church on that committee, the famous Church Committee that they talk about where all these reforms came from. Gary Hart's the young hot runner. Going to be president one day. They put him on the CIA part of it, of the church committee because they don't know what they're going to find because the CIA was so out of control. Nobody was controlling it. And they're feeding what they want to hear, which is the killing. They're assassinating guys in sub Saharan Africa they're doing and eventually get to, hey, they took a couple of whacks at Castro with, I don't know, a poison cigar and poison darts, who knows? But Hart's sitting there with the, with Angleton. Angleton is the famous guy. Angleton is the guy that ran the deal for like 20 or 30 years or internally, the internal guy. The guy that went on the mole. They knew they had Soviet moles they wanted. He destroyed like 50 guys, committed suicide to find the mall, never found him. We found out later, you know, Hanson and those guys, who they were. He's had dinner at one of these clubs in D.C. and Angleton is a, is a guy would take a drink. Most of a lot of these guys are alcoholics, flat out, don't know it's because they're conscious or not. And Angleton's sitting there and he says, look, you know, I have to ask you this question before go. It's like the third dinner. He says, did the CIA. And Hart can barely get out because he's nervous. Did the CIA have anything to do with the assassination of President Kennedy? What he didn't get was a firm no. Angleton paused, Angleton looked at him over his drink. And Angleton said, you were a theology student as an undergraduate, were you not? He says, yeah, uh huh. He said, in my father's house there are many mansions. That was it. Gary Hart went back to church and said, hey, I think that's a line of country we don't want to develop. Let's just go silent on that. The Great Church Commission didn't touch it. And remember, there are a couple, three things that came up. MK Ultra. You talk about the Unabomber, you talk about the shooter. You talk about this guy that gunned his CEO down in cold blood in midtown Manhattan, point blank range, lying in wait, shot him in the back. Not exactly the American way. Doesn't remind me of the Old West. Right. Kind of the way they got rid of Wild Bill Hickok. Shot him right in the back, point blank range. Not legendary, right? Don't do it that way. That guy was inspired by the Unabomber. And the Unabomber was tied up in MK Ultra. I think that's where they first gave him his first tab of acid, took that brother in a different direction. These they're freaked out because Ray surrendered to Trump in this town. They're in panic right now. They have no air cover. Pam Bondi's going to justice and wait for it. Cash Patel's going to the FBI. Short break.

Steve Bannon
I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts. First, think back to 9 11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act. This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet. Now Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact, some of the guests I've had on the War Room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms or even vote maga, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts. I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money. Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past. Go to rickardswarroom.com that's rickardswarroom.com now to.

Stephen K. Bannon
See the video, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. So there's a rumor the IG Report is going to be out. I don't know, sometime today. Tomorrow we're going to dive into that big league. Carrie Lake, named as Voice of America, a huge piece in the New York Times. Kind of lead story in the New York Times. Don't know if I made a print edition. I'm going to check here momentarily. But it's all about you. This audience fixed bayonets and basically retrieving Pete Hegseth's candidacy. So you got three things going on. The world war, the debt. You got the war, the debt and the invasion. To keep it simple, the war, the debt and the invasion. Lead story on Zero Hedge is how an explosion of spending is happening. The greatest. Remember, the fiscal year of the government starts one October. So October, November, December, I think this will be the greatest deficit we've ever had Outside the pandemic, extraordinary events. But for normal course of business, I think we're on track to have by the end of December the greatest ever and nobody can figure it out. We know revenue is kind of down or off, but there's an explosion and I've got it up on. I think I've got it up on. In fact, I know I got it up on Getter put up last night and we're going to have some people here break it down for you. So, number one, the debt is exploding because they're trying to jam Trump up to the war. You know, now you get Poland. You got all the guys in NATO saying, hey, I don't know, we're not putting in. I don't know if we're putting in security forces. Who's guaranteeing that we're not going to do that. We. Poland. They talk in the general, NATO's got to do it. NATO's got to do it. NATO ought to do something. But then when they talk about specific commitments, well, I don't know if we can do it. Well, here's what the United States is never under Donald Trump, never going to put a troop anywhere near peacekeeping there in Israel or the Middle East. Not going to happen. Been there, done that. 20 years in Afghanistan, Iraq, what, 15 years in Vietnam or 13 years in Vietnam, in Korea. We're still in Korea. Korea is imploding right now. Korea is imploding. They just declared martial law last week. Not only lasted for a couple hours, but the defense minister committed, tried to commit suicide. Now, they said the guys were marching on the election thing to get to. They take that election integrity even bigger than MAGA does. They're all insurrectionists and they're running the government. He tried to commit suicide. The whole thing spinning out of control. You got Turkey and all. You remember, they're cheering over the weekend and MSNBC had every up there and CNN and all these shows, all these. I told you, they're not Jeffersonian. Democrats are hanging people right now doing all the revenge killings. And Erdogan, Erdogan, Erdoan wants to reverse everything Ataturk did 100 years ago. It's the caliphate. He's going to go back to the Ottoman Turks, the original glory when they took over Constantinople, you know, the Visigoths and the Goths, everybody took a run on Rome, but, hey, they lasted for another thousand years. Over there, the Byzantine Empire, they were taken down finally, essentially by the Kurds. They took him over. The Ottoman Empire went all the way down to Saudi Arabia, Mecca And Medina, the two holy sites. He wants it before he checks out. Note to self, he's a NATO ally doing bombing runs on folks up there. So much for NATO allies. And all day long and all they're talking about and all they're on President Trump. They call him President Trump's the advisors. They're all over Waltz. They're all over Marco Rubio. Hex does not have anything to do with him because he's going through his turn in the barrel, but nonstop. They want, you know, we got to portion this thing off. It's like Germany after the war. America's got to have. We have to have nothing. Send them a few more shells over to Israel. They took, they blew up Hezbollah. That's what started this thing, the domino effect. Hell, they did 100 bombing runs yesterday, and they're sitting there going, oh, you got to have. You know you're going to do this. Hey, get all the millions, I think, I don't know, it was 10 million. Went into Europe in the, in the first Syrian crisis, took down Merkel's government, destroy it. Started to destroy Europe, send them all back. War's over. Assad's gone. He's up in. He's up in Moscow drinking vodka with, with Putin and the KGB guys. Good riddance. He's a bad guy. Nobody. But I'll tell you, I sat in the, the National Security Council with the President. I told him right there, hey, can I see some evidence? These chemical attacks, you talk a lot about it. Where's. Where are the facts? Where's the evidence? These people will lie to you, look you in the eye and lie to you. They will look you in the eye and lie to you. That's the deep state. They got their own deal. What they want to do, they want to get up cheek by jowl. Tulsi Gabbard knows this is what I hate her. They got up cheek by jowl with the Russians and they want to get tangled because they want to get. They want. Now why are they, with everything else going in the world, why are they so focused on getting in war with the Russians? You notice I didn't say war with the kgb. Putin and these guys are bad hombres. They're gangsters. I got that. There's a lot of gangsters in the world. The framers and founders of our nation understood that. They said, don't, whatever you do. We got our own deal here, here, the new Jerusalem. Here, here, here. Don't go abroad looking for monsters to slay. We had to do it. We had. When we did it, we had to do it. Barbary pirates, we had to do that. Hell, they'd taken all the shipping. We couldn't send anything out. Even that was a little on the margin. That was a little questionable. But, hey, he had to do it. Went and did it and we did it and then came home. So the war, they're getting Trump. I'm telling you, they are sucking us into something that's 100 times worse than Vietnam. You think Vietnam was bad? Man, that's the jungle down there. When the French leave, it's terrible, and the people have fought it. The sacrifice of our troops. Horrible. Just horrible. Horrible and not supported. But that is nothing compared to what this thing is. You take that ark from Russia, through the bloodlands of Ukraine, you take it down to Romania and the Balkans, you get into Turkey and Greece, you come across Assyria, you cut all the way down the Tigris and Euphrates to Iraq, Persia. These are ancient, ancient, ancient vendettas. People have been over there killing each other for thousands of years. Thousands and thousands and thousands of years. They're going to be killing each other a thousand years from now. That's what President Trump says is sand and death. Don't do it on the debt. Read the. Read. I'll put, Put the. Put the. We'll break it down later. Put the. Zero hit story of exploding. They're trying to handcuff Trump right now, and they just passed the NDA. Oh, yeah, suck on this. You got a trillion dollar defense budget. Well, Trump comes in and says, no, I don't want to appropriate that. I got the Doge guys, they're right here. The Doge guys are here, and they want to. And they want to. They got some other ideas. Well, we can't. We pass it. We got a top line number. We passed it. This is the games they're playing. And everybody's sitting there calling me, Steve, you're overselling that. It can still change. I said, okay, fine, just show me where it's ever changed, ever, even a marginal change. Show me. Once that top line's locked in, it's locked in. That's where they pass it. And programmatically, they kind of got the programs. We got to do this, we got to do this. We got to do this, we got to do that. You may carve it out on the side, but you're not going to get to it. You're not going to get down to it. If you don't get down to that defense budget, there's no Doges, no cuts. Where are you going to take it? You can't take entitlements now. You can't. You can't. Can't. Here's why. It's not that maybe you should the math. It's a contractual obligation to the working class and middle class. You've got one thing. You're hanging on that little $1,200 check and some Medicare and some health insurance or health, not great, but it's something. And you got to. That's in time with. That's a deal. That's a contract with you. And they can't break it. They can renegotiate and revote it, but you got to say so on that. You're at the table. They just can't do that. That's what's discretionary spending. So don't talk to me about $2 trillion unless you understand how they're jamming you up right now and jamming Trump up right now. Because you think these folks up here, you think that, you think they give a damn, a tinker's damn what Trump thinks. They do not. They may go in the camera. And, you know, I, you know, somehow I got to really look at these nominees and I got to, you know, got to advise him and consent with him. Come on, man. Behind closed doors. No way. Impossible. And Vivek. And when they walked up the other day, the only thing they understand is fear. How do you think we got rid of Ray? How do you think we saved Hexa? Don't look. Ask me. Look at the New York Times. How do we do that? This audience, you fixed bayonets and said, hey, no more gates. We should never let him go. No more wobbly Republicans. I don't want to hear any happy talk. I don't want to hear any whinging. Trump took a bullet in four weeks. Took a bullet to the head, Chris. Ray, not shrapnel. Another reason you're gone. Took a bullet to the head four months later, won a landslide victory. And you guys in the Senate wouldn't even be have jobs or have chairmanships if it wasn't for Trump who dragged everybody across the goal line as he always does. And then you got the border, and nobody's talking about the border. We got Oscar Blue and Berquam down there in harm's way again. Why is that? They're all trying to get across. Can you imagine this? They're not even kicking in ice and setting the platform and training people up and getting them in the uniforms again. And telling ice, give me a cheery aye, aye. Let's do some calisthenics. Trump's coming in. They're going to do shock and all, but we need some bodies and maybe coordinate with Texas. And hey, we got to go. You know, we relieve. They're going to do it differently. We understand that. But here you go. We get everybody lined up. No, they're not doing that. They're doing the exact opposite. And what media is trying to do because remember, all they want to do in politics is follow the horse race. Follow the horse race. That's for the dumb and lazy. He's up. He's bad. No, but Desantis and Youngkin and Nikki Haley, it's all. It's all nonsense. Doesn't mean anything. So the dumb and lazy on the nominations and we got to get them across. So we do spend some time on it, but the time is really saying, audience, hey, today we're fixing bayonets as Pete Hegseth or it's Tulsi Gabbard or it's Bobby Kennedy because they all got to get approved. We're not obsessing audiences. They just came out of Lisa Murkowski's office and we're live here outside of Lisa Murkowski for her pearls of wisdom. We don't give a damn what Lisa Murkowski has to say. It's a whole scam up there in Alaska. People in Alaska ought to be ashamed of themselves for not taking care of this thing. Ought to be ashamed of themselves in Alaska. You got good folks up there. You got this voting thing that you let them come in and you're never going to have good people up there. You're never going to have fire breathers while you've allowed to do it. Just saying. So I love the people in last, but don't give me the last frontier. And we're, you know, walking around with no shirts, jumping in ice ponds. Take care of business. Get Lisa Murkowski out of there. She's embarrassing you guys or Collins. Collins can't even talk. Man. You ought to be real proud of that one. That's a beauty. Not physically. I'm talking about the whole package. She's a beaut. But we're not waiting for her pearls of wisdom because underneath that, you've got to get the personnel boom to do it. And they're doing. The transition team's doing good for second and third tier. But it's also the convergence of the thing itself. They're not standing there in this period trying to have Trump's people, in some logical coordinated way, relieve the watch because at high noon you give them a cheery aye aye. I got the deck in the con, baby. We got this. They're not doing that. They're trying to jam it up. And this is why. Ray shocked them. Shocked them. They thought Ray would at least he's hurt the professor. He's at least going to stick out for a year. They needed a year air cover. And here's what's really shocked them. Weissman, changing your Huggies tonight? Ask yourself a question. Ask yourself this question. What does Ray know that you guys don't? Why did Ray capitulate? Why did Ray, for all the media, that for all those years. Was it Ken Dillian? What do they call him? Fusion Ken. Brother, we're all over you. You should know that. Got some bad stuff, Ken. What does Ray know that you brothers and sisters don't? Why did Ray surrender and get the hell out of town? Why didn't he stand in the breach? Why didn't he stand up for you? Why didn't he provide air cover for y'all? Ask yourself that. The one guy you needed, the one guy you needed ran next in the world. For over 10 years, Patriot Mobile has.

Stephen K. Bannon
Okay. 12A Thursday, 12th December year overlord, 2024, man. Where's this year gone? Where has this month gone? I don't think it's just because I'm getting older. It's just zipping by. And remember, I spent four months in a cell block. It's still zipping by. Fast. Middle of December already. You this audience. The response I got yesterday from folks in North Carolina, here on Capitol Hill, of what you accomplished and having the back of the folks down there in the legislature, because we set things as much right as we possibly could. And I know it was powerful because MSNBC all last night had Democrats down there whining, so you've done good. I mean, the power. People were like, blown away also in the ndaa. And I realized we didn't really get to the ramparts because that thing was happening. We tried to warn people. It just was outside. You can only, you know, you can only focus on so many things. And we had to get to. And that's why I want everybody to read the New York Times article. In fact, Grace, if we can somehow try to get an archive of it, I really want people to read all of it. It's got Matt Boyle, it's got Turning Point usa, it has the War Room Posse. And I say in there, I'm quoted, I think no more gates us that we live in one world and that's the world of victory. And we'll double down, we'll triple down. There's no retreat, there's no surrender, and you just move forward. If you look at the opposing forces we have, they don't have that. The Ray thing is a shock to the system, that it's finally now they're starting to begin to deal with the fact that not just Trump won, but we are seizing the institutions. And somebody put on Twitter the other day, there's this tension between destroying the institutions or taking over, reforming and rebuilding. Don't. Come on, man, stop that nonsense. You have to seize the institutions to then see whether they can be reformed or whether they can be reconstituted or should they just go away. The FBI, I strongly believe, a couple of years from now, go away. The functions, most of the functions won't. They'll be allocated to different areas, particularly the counterterrorism, the counterintelligence, and the intelligence part. The law enforcement, I think, will go somewhere in DOJ with US Attorneys, that the US Attorneys will have an investigative force and maybe some sort of policing action on some limited basis. But never, ever, ever, ever again. This is all a thing from Hoover and they're not very good. This is not very good. Dimension 9 11, they're not very good. Well, Steve, that was 20 some years ago. No, no, come on, that's nothing. In time. Have they really changed? Have they really gotten any better? Look at all the intelligence failures we have every week. Have they really gotten any better? They got better at jackbooting, putting the jackboot on, folks playing the rosary. People that have no power and they don't think are come back to power. And I don't like using the term bully. I think it's too schoolyard. They were all fine about jackbooting your house down and putting you in change. They shackled Navarro, 70 year old man at Reagan National Airport in front of hundreds of people. And he's well known guys on tv, they took him out like a dog and took him down. That handcuffed him, shackled him and took him down to that tarmac, off the thing, off the plane and humiliated him in front of everybody. You know why? Because they could never thought. Do you ever think in 2 billion years that if they thought Peter Navarro was ever going to be a senior counselor in the White House, in the Oval Office every day, that he would do that? That they would do that? No, impossible. Impossible. They wouldn't do it. They would not do it. Is that clock right now okay? Fine. In the middle of a roll and all of a sudden we're looking at something different. No, of course not. Of course not. That shows you how evil they are. The shock to the system. The important thing to take away today is that the deep state ain't that tough. Oh, they're bad and they're cunning and they got the apparatus and they're going to. Hey, we're so far from victory. Don't, don't. I'm not, I'm not. I'm not resting. We're not resting on the laurels. We're not doing it. No. We're so far from that. But you can feel the fear coming through every day. You feel the fear. Look at this. Wall Street Journal, Murdoch's paper. All you people read the Wall Street Journal every day. I get so many friends. I got nephews. And they're reading the Wall Street Journal every day and they're sending me stuff I said, you know, it's all lies, all crap. It's all wrong information. These guys have been wrong in everything. Everything. Not some things. Everything. Where's the Wall Street Journal? Where were they running up to 2. Show me other articles in Wall Street Journal warning about the greatest financial collapse in the history of the country, where were they? Where was it? Now, if you didn't see it because it wasn't written one printed, they ain't maybe had a couple guys in articles saying, hey, I think we got a problem here. Think we got a problem here. What do they got? How Tulsi Gabbard sees the world. Right there. This is yesterday, right there. Can't have Tulsi Gabbard. She wants peace. She bad. Right here, they got Bolton, who's kind of a creep. They got Bolton. Cash Patel doesn't belong to the FBI. Hey, Bolton, got news for you. He's at the FBI. Going to be at the FBI. They told you up on Morning Jar today, there's no. There's no real opposition to him. Trump's misguided attack on birthright citizenship. They don't like that either because they like tons of illegal aliens here and they want more of them. Oh, and down here, and this is the most logical one, but down here is how you can't. Trump can't get out forever war got to be in. You're sucked into forever wars. And if you don't believe that, look at. Look at Syria. That's the whole deal, the war. Because we're in the kinetic part of the Third World War. Now, if you're not taking notes at home, a million people in the last two and a half years, three years. A million people. A million six, according to a million Ukrainians, both combat troops and civilians, and six or 700,000 Russians. That was, according to President Trump, the six or 700,000. That's a million six. I won't round up to two. That's just in your watch. Watching the show last couple of years, we haven't warned about that. The debt thing's out of control. I'm telling you everything. He wants to do that debt ceiling, debt ceiling deal comes off, I think, on the 2nd of January, 3rd of January, boom, you're going to get back. You're still going to have flat champagne in your glasses. Vive was a vu clicquot or some of that fancy Moet Shandon. You're gonna have flat, warm champagne still in your glasses. We're gonna hit the debt ceiling and then you got. We're gonna get to Berquam and Oscar. If it hadn't been snatched, it might have been snatched. They're dealing with some bad hombres.
