Steve Bannon
The Bulwark. Today in an interview, he made an effing movie that's called Government Gangsters. And the first guy is Merrick Garland. Okay? And Lisa Monaco is in there, who the nation doesn't know. We're trying to make these people famous. So, no, first of all, it has to happen. Number two, it's going to happen.
Cash Patel
Government Gangsters are the group of individuals, career bureaucrats, who have been installed by what we call the Deep State into every agency and department in the United States government. Had Donald, Donald Trump, not one in 2016, he would not have exposed the flank of the Deep State and their weapon of choice, the two tier system of justice. From Russiagate to Hunter Biden's laptop, to Joe Biden's classified documents case to January 6th to the 51 intel letter and everything in between, we would never have learned that these people are dangerous and vindictive. Learning from their mistakes and perfecting ways to hide their corruption. It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation.
Steve Bannon
That sounded to me like, first of all, a message to Cash Patel, who is on the Hill, like all the other nominees, trying to make good with some of these senators. This is not something you can back away from. How is Cash Patel going to explain this if he has to back away from some of this retribution that he himself laid out in his book?
Charlie Dent
Well, I'm glad you said that because the senators are going to be the ones holding his feet to the fire on this because he's going to start bleeding support if he doesn't have a good answer. And the answer is he needs to show evidence to prove it. Like I am all, I think we all are for rooting out corruption in our government, for rooting it out at the FBI, for rooting it out at doj. Sign me up. And there is plenty of history to look back on at the FBI and DOJ of wrongdoing. We know it became the doj. FBI became more political under Comey, but he needs to show evidence or else the support that he's building will crumble. I was thinking more of during the.
Steve Bannon
Civil rights movement, but then he talks about the types of investigations and as we know, a lot of it surrounds Trump. He says there's a vast criminal conspiracy, including the medias. Was it Andrew Weissman and all of those FBI guys that work on msnbc? I think there will be big investigations into all of these people. I think there's gonna be huge investigations, I believe, into 2020. I think it's gonna be a huge investigation. On January 6th, the FedSurrection.
Cash Patel
Yeah.
Steve Bannon
What? It's insane. It's gonna be a huge investigation about the vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump. I mean, it's really.
Gillian Tett
It's an effort to rewrite reality. Right. I mean, there was an election. It was a. It was considered a safe and secure election. There was an attack on the Capitol and everything that followed. But now we have somebody who's been reelected who still never acknowledged that that election was legitimate. We've had four years of President Biden. He is leaving election went for Donald Trump. Yet they're still litigating four years ago. And Bannon is not in a position to be in the White House at the moment. He is not the senior adviser or chief of staff. So he is finding ways.
Steve Bannon
And he's very influential. I mean, he is. He's out of prison now. And I think that he thinks of himself as one of the many kind of leaders of the MAGA army, the sort of rank and file who power Donald Trump.
Cash Patel
I hate to say this. I know you got a bunch of still Republican orthodox folks out here. You're gonna have to raise taxes on the wealthy. Hey, both parties got us into this. Only the populist nationalists could get it out.
Steve Bannon
I don't know what the reception was in that audience. It sounded a little tepid. But he's talking. He's serious about this. He told SEM for later. He also, he believes raising taxes on the wealthy is the only way to get the other part of the Trump agenda, which is tax cuts, into existence.
Gillian Tett
Well, it's kind of fascinating to me.
Cash Patel
Because we've been listening to Democrats saying.
Gillian Tett
The only reason what was happening on the Hill was because, oh, President Trump.
Cash Patel
Wanted that debt ceiling so he could.
Gillian Tett
Give all of his rich friends a tax break.
Cash Patel
Now we have very prominent people in.
Gillian Tett
The movement talking about we may have to raise taxes on the wealthy. Like, it's never unpopular to say that, right?
Cash Patel
I mean, like, I think we had bipartisanship right there.
Gillian Tett
You were agreeing with Steve Bannon, weren't you?
Cash Patel
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Gillian Tett
All right, so it's never unpopular.
Steve Bannon
I mean, so do the American people, by the way, overwhelmingly the American people. Trump is a populist candidate.
Cash Patel
I'd like to hear how high he'd like to raise them. I'd like to hear how high he'd like to take the corporate tax. We had the highest rate in the world at 35%. Now we're down closer to the average. Okay, we want to tax. Let's hear it from him. I'D like to see his proposal.
Gillian Tett
The irony is going to find out.
Cash Patel
A lot of people aren't as rich as they think.
Gillian Tett
Oh, yeah. And Trump was one of them. Right. The irony being that he managed to work the tax system and call himself a billionaire, yet for many years pay zero in taxes. So that's part of it. It's not just tax the wealthy. It would be great if Doge decided to actually look at the tax code and, you know, plug up some of those holes that allow people who are wealthy to not pay as much as people who are poor.
Charlie Dent
But I want to also just make the point. And, you know, Ronald Reagan once said, you can grow the economy as big as you want, you can tax people as much as you want, but it's worth a hill of beans if we don't get our addiction to spending under control. That's where we're at. So. And you are completely correct. It's very easy to say raise taxes on them. It's very hard to pick a number of what is fair. But that rich people don't just pay income tax. They often. They pay different taxes that make actually.
Steve Bannon
Rich people tend to not pay income taxes at all.
Charlie Dent
Exactly. So but my point is making the tax code fair. Yes. The rate. That's where I would.
Natalie Winters
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Cash Patel
Pray for our enemies because we're going.
Natalie Winters
Medieval on these people.
Cash Patel
Reasons I got a free shot.
Natalie Winters
All these networks lying about the people.
Cash Patel
The people have had a belly full of it.
Natalie Winters
I know you don't like hearing that.
Cash Patel
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but.
Natalie Winters
You'Re not going to stop it.
Cash Patel
It's going to happen.
Charlie Dent
And where do people like that go.
Cash Patel
To share the big lie? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish.
Charlie Dent
That any of these people had a conscience.
Cash Patel
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Yo. It's Saturday, the 21st of December, the year of our Lord 2024. You're here. The war in Phoenix, the crowds just coming in, the gates of being at the floodgates being open. Hold it. Hang on. Is this the James O'Keefe after party? This is. This is the hardcore crowd. Laura. That was actually Laura Low as a Laura Loomer. Milo. Milo. Title fight last night. The things. The things you see at Amfest. Wow. Okay, folks. A lot to get through. A bunch of stuff happening in D.C. and Natalie's going to be up here in a little while to talk about it. There's this whole controversy now about Biden. The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times have come out with definitive pieces. Talk about how staff knew that Biden was a puppet for all four years. He wasn't actually cognizant of what he's doing. There's a big rumor. Kamala Harris, Daily Mail reported Kamala Harris was going to California for Christmas and she got off the plane and is now back in D.C. somebody people were saying she had to break a tie in the Senate, but that was never going to be a question. So there's a bunch of things going on there. You also saw government gangsters are in full meltdown. I gave a interview yesterday with Tim Miller. You know, Tim Miller. Is it, is it pearls or pukas? Right? With. I think we got a video of, of Natalie also chatting up Tim Miller. Last night, one of the parties at the James O'Keefe party. I gave an interview with Tim Miller and said, hey, this is a vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump and these investigations are going to take place and they need to take place. This is not about revenge for President Trump. President Trump. President Trump. You guys agree, right? They have to happen. This is not about President Trump is focused on the sunlit uplands and everything he's got to do. And you've seen for the last, you know, 72 hours what a fiasco it is to have, you know, MAGA Mike Johnson is Matt is Johnson. MAGA Mike is that do we want a look at the crap? Bad. That shot right there is amazing. Now let's get more of that. Hola. Holla. Vacate the chair. You guys want to vacate the chair? They're saying you're just churning through speakers. Is there some reason for that? You finally want somebody can stand up and get organized. I mean, think about it. If the easiest thing we had to do, the simplest thing of everything, President Trump, because today all the articles, by the way, are about reconciliation. Right now they're worried about reconciliation. And they're, they got Larry Kudlow. I think Larry Kudlow is banging his head on the table over at Fox, saying that, you know, you have to have one. You have taxes have to come first. And he's not talking about tax cuts for the working people, right. He's talking about tax cuts for the wealthy and more tax cuts for the corporations of which, by the way, I'm not When you're an entrepreneur, right, particularly LLC or entrepreneur, there's no way we can raise corporate taxes on entrepreneurs. I mean, your guys are taxed enough already. So. But this is taxes on multinationals or taxes on, on these large corporations that, quite frankly, their tax rates, when you look at it, are quite small. I mean, there used to be 35. President Trump got it down to 21. He's proposed 15%. If you bring jobs back, we're all for that. If you bring, if you bring, you know, jobs back. But what happens is they've just gamed the system. Every time you give them a tax cut, particular President Trump gave him a tax cut. You didn't stop them from doing stock buybacks. Right. And there's a theoretical financial thing they teach at Harvard about the, you know, buying your equity when it's underpriced and it's smarter for your shareholders. But the principal driving function when they do that is to raise the stock price so they can get their warrant package and options package and make a ton of dough and then move on. And that's why these companies never really reinvest in capital equipment. So the reconciliation is a huge fight. But Mike Johnson, what, what happened the last 40 hours, 48 hours, is the simplest thing, the easiest thing that President Trump's going to have an opportunity to do in all of 2025. I was with Megyn Kelly yesterday. I said, look, he's got about six months to a year, right? Six months to a year to get his basic core parts of his agenda done. And that's why you guys are so far up to speed. In fact, if you look at last night on the cnn, you see them talking about these things. It's so simplistic the way they talk about it. They don't have anywhere near the, really the, not just the information, but you guys have trained yourself to understand a much more sophisticated way what's actually going on. And that's what we're going to need going forward. This is going to be a firestorm. I'm telling you everything. As hard as enough on these wars. Everything's hard on the, on the, on the deportations, which these are, you know, to stop a kinetic part of a third world war which was not done in World War II, to deport, you know, 10 to 15 million illegal aliens and to do it in a humane way. But they got to go right to do the criminals. These are immensely complicated logistics, political narrative, all that, that pales in comparison to setting when you have $36 trillion and you're adding a trillion dollars every hundred days and the tax burdens already too much. You have a, you have a population. You could tell right now can barely keep up. And that's where the credit card debt is going on, which are really just, people are just barring themselves to leverage themselves. This is hard. And you can tell yesterday, I mean, what Johnson did was basically he allowed Hakeem Jeffries and these guys to have another spending orgy with no offsets like the bill last night. And this is why the 30 people got to understand, I think we need to do a better job of informing them they're not against President Trump, they're actually for him. But like, for instance, the FEMA situation, they still have not proven to any of us that cash is not there. Right. And has not been spent. I happen to believe it's the Biden regime trying to hurt President Trump and particularly trying to hurt MAGA voters in western North Carolina and in, you know, Anna Palina Lunas and other districts in Florida that are maga. They're trying to torment them and torture them. Right. So we haven't found that out. But also we kind of have an implicit agreement that if we do things like that, you're going to have offsets. You have to go, so you're just not spending all the time. You have to have offsets. And we kind of waved on the offsets to, to, to, to make sure that we do this in time. You guys, I think, are pretty unanimous. Are closely unanimous. Shutting down the government wouldn't have been a big deal. And, and, and, and if they get, they get all the. Because they're going to shut TSA down immediately at O'Hara Airport and Atlanta Airport. And CNN is going to have that camera on little kids crying with the, you know, the packages for grandma. That's not going to get there. And, but you guys would still have, you'd have been very comfortable with the government shutdown, right? You would have shut it down. Shut it down. Vox populi Fox Day. Okay, we're here for the next couple of hours. I'm also going to try to do a meet and greet. We're also getting a room for early this afternoon so we can kind of hang out. And we're trying to get there for an hour or two. So today we're spending with, with, with the war room posse here at, at AMFest 2024. We'll continue with, with the James O'Keefe After Party. Did James O'Keefe dance last night? Did he dance? I don't know, man. He got theater kids in high school, then he got the dance kids. I don't know about that. He likes Broadway musicals too. Short break. Back in a moment.

Gillian Tett
The joke right now in Mar a Lago is essentially they're going to be having their winters in Mar a Lago, not in Washington. And that's a sign of the power center essentially moving away from the congressional structures that we've all got used to watching slavishly.
Cash Patel
I think business leaders right now are not afraid of any backlash. Right. So in 2016 they knew they had to deal with Trump, but they didn't want to go to the White House. They were anxious about joining business councils because they didn't want to face boycotts from customers or employees. Donald Trump won fair and square, but it wasn't a landslide. Why don't they have that fear now?
Gillian Tett
I think in 2016 there was such shock that most people thought this was temporary. It was like a burst of extreme insanity if you didn't like it or extreme victory for a period of time if you did. And people thought that it would die down and go away. I think now people realize that actually the second time that Donald Trump has gone back into the White House will be a sign that the entire zeitgeist of the country is shifting. This is becoming normalized. The whole way we imagine politics is changing and populism is no longer a dirty word at all. And that's going to be there for a long time.
Cash Patel
War Room, here's your host, Stephen K. Bannock. Okay, welcome back. You got, you got to think about this for a second. Just think about it. Did you ever think in a million years that the. Right there is Gillian Tet, the British woman speaking? She's the head of King. Her day job is. She's the chief kind of markets expert, monetary expert for the Financial Times of London. She's one of the editors, okay? So she's one of the smartest people in the world about markets. She's also the head of King's College at Cambridge. You ever, ever gotten the Christmas carols of King's College is like the best English. So she's completely hardwired into this. She is the system, right? That is the Financial Times of London, right, which is the, the globalist newspaper of record, right? It's the New York Times for the world. The Angie's King's College, which is here in Cambridge, they have different colleges. It's the number one college, the choir. It's where the Queen goes, everything. So that is the system. And right there she's saying, and she reports, she knows all those billionaires that hang around Mar A Lago, but all over the world, and all they're talking about now is populism. They all want to be populist. Everybody, you guys, you guys are the populist, right? Have had this and now you're, it's like in high school, you, you have become the cool kids table. But the question is, are you going to let them sit at the table? It's, it's really the question, I hate to get it down to that simple, but you're going to see they are going to try to roll you so hard over the next year, right? They finally realize that political power in the United States actually does reside with the people, okay? The people have to be organized or self organized. They have to be around a handful of principals. A leader like President Trump, which people say, well, who's going to follow Trump? I say, dude, who knows? Because. Because it is a guy like President Trump is not once in a generation, only a couple times in the history of this republic or in the history of the world, have you seen someone like Trump come along with that personality and that magnetism, right? And kind of that kind in that kind heart and the ability. Think about it. What guy who had just won the presidency, after everything he's been through, put in prison, would get on a plane early in the morning and fly out here to talk to you guys, right? Think about it. He's doing it as a tribute to Arizona, but it's a tribute. It's a tribute to you. Because he understands. Now everybody in the world. I'm going to just tell you what's going to happen. Everybody in the world. Like today, you got. The world's journalists are all here and they're all deconstructing what's going on the stage. Right. My speech was blowing their heads up about, you know, we're going to do this. You go, they just don't want. The speech was just a. A morning war room rant. Right. Even a light one. Although I did drop too many F bombs. You know, my mother. My mother was a hammer on that. She dragged you right in the bathroom, man. She washed the mouth out with soap. And you could. Mom, Mom, I won't do it again. She was grinding that ivory right in there. You damn right you'll never do it again. Wait till your father gets home. Not the belt, Mom. Not the belt. So now why have we come to this past. Why in all the coverage or all of a sudden, they're all, you know, populism and the Democrats are running around. They want to be. Everybody wants to be a populist. Populist. You guys were a populist, you know, years and years ago, and nobody paid attention to. In fact, in those days, they did. Exactly. Tea Party Ross for all of it. But Buchanan, in the early days of Trump, President Trump and this movement, you weren't populist then. You weren't populist nationalists, you were racist, you were deplorables. What did Biden called you? Garbage. Garbage. But they, they now realize, and here's what's got them. Here's what's got them afraid is that not just you have latent political power, you have real political power. And what you stand for, which is basic, simple Americanism, is actually attracted other people. Demographics. African American men, Hispanic families, Asians. This is, this is. Is growing. And here's the whole thing, if you just think about it, we just have to flip the way that the political class looks at things now. We've done a great job in shifting this narrative. I mean, think about CNN or Fox News. These things years ago, you would never hear any of this. It was like. It was like they got slapped upside the head finally in 2024 with the comeback. Because remember, for all the talk now, yeah. We knew Trump was on the land side. You go up till North Carolina and got called. They were all early in the evening, you know, Kamala Harris and look, the universities are turning out, the cities are turning out, and all this is going to happen. Right. They thought up to the moment that really North Carolina and then later Pennsylvania, that they had this deal, they thought, and hey, if they had won, you think that we were tortured beforehand, you don't have any idea what they had planned because these are not good people, right? They will use the power of the state to go after folks. So, but, but here's what has to flip. And if we just did everything in this kind of, in this framework is that if you look back at the Roman Republic, right, The Roman Republic had one strong thing going for it. The reason that republic is what the, the framers of the Constitution really looked at the Roman Republic. And they particularly looked at what happened to the Roman Republic and how it declined. You know, not the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, it was the decline and fall of the, of the Roman Republic. How did that happen? And it deteriorate? And one thing at the top of its game, the Republic, citizenship came first. And citizenship was very exclusive. It was a huge deal. And they debated to take citizenship outside of Rome just to the region around Italy, then to make it for all Italians, right? And then to make it actually for people that actually weren't in Italy to give citizenship out there and very respected. Everything that we do has to be in the prism of how does it work for American citizens. So it's America first, but it's also a corollary that is American citizens first. You guys, here's why, here's why, here's why. The entire system, the entire global system is on your shoulders, the entire monetary systems on your shoulders, the entire kind of economic systems on your shoulders, the entire security system is on your shoulders. And one, you're never given credit for it. But number two, you're not treated like, hey, you are the full faith and credit of the United States. When you talk to people around the world in global capital markets, right? And they always talk about the safe haven of American investing and the liquidity in liquidity of American capital markets is that there's a lot of people want to put money throughout the world into American bonds and stocks and real estate, everything like that. It's not because we have a better Security and Exchange commission. It's not. We have a good one. But Singapore is good and Japan's actually could be argued better. Europe's got good. So the regulatory apparatus here is good, but the City of London, others are good. Our central bank is just as screwed up as anybody's, right? In fact, it continues to print money to pay for the legislators and the executives massive deficits. So that's another aspect of it. But the reason the money's here, the liquidity comes, is because America is a safe place to invest. Now why is America a safe place to invest? It's the little guy. Exactly. It's civic society. It's what Edmund Burke called the little platoons. It's the Kiwanis club, it's the local churches, it's the youth organizations, it's evening softball in the summer. Right. It's all those things are American that really provide for this underpinning of safety and security that people know they're going to get their money back if they put it here. That they look and they say these are decent people, these are good people, these are hard working people. That, that's this underpinning, that's the full faith and credit. When they talk all this big talk on Capitol Hill and bond defaults and all this, the full faith and credit. It's not the Federal Reserve, it's not the Congress, it's not the executive branch, it's not the court system, it's the American people. You're the full faith and credit. Well, think about it. So the entire global capital system rests on your shoulders. The entire security, the entire, the entire security system rests on your shoulders. We have 150,000 basically airmen, marines, sailors and army personnel in 150 countries. The entire post war international rules based order is rest on your shoulders, okay? Yet you always get the short end of the stick. They try to cede your sovereignty, your sovereignty to global. You know, whether it's who in Geneva or the G8 or NATO or you pick it, anytime they have an opportunity, they're all over there like big shots. The Munich Security Council, everything like that. They're giving away your sovereignty. What is pop, Populism is quite simply has a material aspect of it, but it has a spiritual aspect to it. It is the manifestation of the sovereign will of the people. Right? And the people spoke on November 5th. Now thank God we have an instrument, Donald Trump, which I say is an instrument of divine providence. If you didn't have Trump, we, we'd be in a hell of a jam, right? And to show you how much you appreciate and what other leader has ever done this in our country to get up. Nobody. To get up after, after winning. After winning. And most guys take a month off, right? He didn't take a day off and now he's schlepping out here on a Sunday before Christmas. I mean, come on, he came to play. Guy can't play golf, he's going to come out here at 10, you know, leave at dawn to get out here at 10:30 in the morning to give a speech in appreciation of you. I mean, that's extraordinary, but that is, that's what populists. But it's. The point is he understands that power does not rest in Mar A Lago with those billionaires. Power does not rest in Capitol Hill. Power does not rest in New York City with the capital markets or the media. Power rests right here with you. And that's why he's coming out here to honor your. To show respect for you. Respect. Short break, back in a moment.
Natalie Winters
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 best selling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level. In fact, some of the guests I've had on the War room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move. If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote maga, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts. I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning. Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money. Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past. Go to Rickards war room dot com. That's rickardswarroom dot com now to see the video.
Matt Gaetz
I want to tell you all a story about a Harper Valley widowed wife who had a teenager daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High. Well, her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play. And she said, mama, got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA. Well, the note said, Mrs. Johnson, you're wearing, wearing your dress is way too high. It's reported you've been drinking and, or running round with men and going wild. And we don't believe you ought to.
Cash Patel
Be bringing up your new girl this way. Okay, okay. That did not. We blew that. That did not come. Okay, sir. Okay. How many here? And this is because we have so many the war room production staff, Natalie Winters and. And Will Blair and Cameron Wallace and Jane Zirkel. And my team here, as you notice, they're. You know, I get called a lot about abusing child labor laws, right? They're. They're on the young side. So this. So Matt Gaetz. We love Matt Gaetz. Right? And. And, like, you know, and like Pete Hexith. And, and. And. And we love Pete Hexith. Right? And. And. And Bobby Kennedy. And Steve Bannon. And Steve Bannon. And, and. And President Trump. Trump, right. Those are all imperfect vessels. Correct. Okay. And Gates has got a little, you know, there's a little hair on that. You know, the Gates, his nomination. I was very upset that Gates withdrew. So Matt. Matt. You know, technically, I find out that Matt really hasn't. He withdrew from this Congress, but technically, I found out that Matt has not actually technically withdrawn from the next Congress. Now, I want to think about those possibilities, right? Matt Gaetz, who took down Kevin McCarthy and this whole thing with the Ethics Committee, knows nothing but vengeance by the D.C. class. And they hate Gates. You see their heads blow up when they announce to him as Attorney General of the United States, that there. Right there tells you their reaction is why you want him. I write, I want to give me two. And under no circumstances should we let him resign. But he did, and he stepped down, Excuse me, From the nomination, and resigned from the current Congress. But Matt has not withdrawn from the second conference. And so. And so, you know, Matt kind of. He put it up. Do we have that. Do we have that tweet? Will Blair, my production staff ever crack? Production staff. Do we have the tweet that Matt Gaetz put up? I think it's a tweet, Matt. So Matt put out a tweet the other day, and he said, hey, if you guys keep giving me a hard time and you keep rolling me, I'm coming back on January 3rd. I'm gonna take the oath, and I'm gonna spend the whole first week. If you're gonna play ball, you play a game with this Ethics Committee, right? Go play games. Ethics Committee. He says, I, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll out all you guys. Every guy slept with an intern. Every guy that's with the secretary, right? Everybody messing around with a page, right? These, hey, now, wow. Now I know a couple, three people every now, you know, follow Q, right? Maybe just kind of keep up to speed. Never know what's happening. He's got something to say about what Goes on Capitol Hill. I don't know, Gates, you don't know where Matt Gaetz is going to go. And I keep telling you, you back a guy like that in the corner, who's a smart guy, and they got these allegations already. Leaked them all anyway, right? You know, put your report out. We're big boys and girls. He's not perfect. We didn't. We weren't running him for. We weren't putting him up to be saint, right? He's got. He's got. He had some issues and hey. But previously, before he got married, and the Justice Department never, as much as they hated him, they never came after him, right? They came after him. They didn't indict him. So. So I put up on. On Getter and I told my staff, I said, matt Gates is going to come back and he's going to go full Harper Valley. All the. The war room production team go, what? And I go, no, Harper Valley pta. They go, what are you talking about? I go, no, come on. So I asked my security detail a little older, I said, guys, if I say Harper Valley pta, what do you think? They go, what are you talking about? That song is such a. If you're good, I. I tell you what, let's play it as my out music. What we're going to do is play Harper Valley. And then, because I knew you guys know Harper Valley, pj, Right? Right. They're getting on the mom. They're getting on the. And I think she's a single mom. They're getting on the mom for wearing a mini skirt. This is back in the 60s. I don't know. Go, go, boots. Hey. And she shows up and she tells him exactly like it is. Right? So g. Now listen. So here's the thing. And I think Matt's going to need to know that people have his back. Do we care what an ethics committee report says about Matt Gaetz? Do we love Matt Gaetz? Do we want Matt Gaetz back in the fight? Now, look, the herrings and one American news, a great news organization. You know, he gets his deal over there. Does it? But Matt Gaetz has got to come back the first week of January and take the oath and sign up for this team, right? So I want msnbc. We want to tell MSNBC and to stick it about Matt Gates where the sun don't shine. We want Matt Gates back. Right? Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt. See, they try what they try to do if you're intimidated on anything when they. Instead of backing down like the Republicans do, you double down, right? Instead of retreat, we go fix bayonets and we advance. This is what saved hexes, right? Instead of surrender, we fight. Hell, we could have surrendered four years ago with President Trump in Mar? A Lago, he could have surrendered. If history shows us anything, we can't be too aggressive, right? First off, they're a bunch of snowflakes. If you get up in the grill and you keep driving forward their crater, they won't stand up to it. We need Gates back in, don't we? And, in fact, when he comes back, Matt, here's what we need to do. The first day, you need to have a press conference. You need to go full Harper Valley pta. We want to hear names, we want evidence. I don't know what they've done worse is their own personal behavior up there or what they've done to the country, but that's kind of a point. Both. I like that. So, you know, Matt's got to come back. And here's the other thing. Matt. Matt's pretty good at. Matt's pretty good about changing out Speakers of the house, man. And McCarthy, McCarthy is like a bad rash. He just will not go away. McCarthy, go back. You got to raise a bunch of money, and you're going to be a. I don't know. I think if I was putting money in a venture capital firm about artificial intelligence, the guy I certainly would love running it is McCarthy. Maybe not the pledge chairman. So. So Matt's going to change out. And I think when he gets back, is not the first order of business to replace Mike Johnson, speaker of the House. Can Mike Johnson. Can Mike Johnson execute? Can he execute on President Trump's the complex. Does he have. Does he have the faith of you, the American maga? I don't know. The most, I think, of all, the most egregious thing of the 1500 page. And it was a spending orgy of Hakeem Jeffries. Priorities, right? But. But the thing, I think it sticks in everybody's crawl. With the economy, where it is, with the credit card debt, where it is, with, you know, where the kids under 35 don't have. Can't buy a house, they have no capital formation. Marriages are becoming later, right? The family formation is later because people want to say, hey, is this guy really going to work out or not? Right? Is he going to have a job that can support a family? All of that's trending, that the working class and middle class are increasing pressure, right? In all this, he slips in on page 900. A raise. They get a raise. And it's not. It's not like a. It's not like a small raise. This is. This is what fools. They think you are. First, they don't get that the war room posse will go through every page, okay? They'll cry, hey, yo, Johnson, they went through a million pages of the Pfizer documents, right? To blow Pfizer up 1500. They can rip through that. They'll crowdsource that. And you guys, it's all about the receipts once you get going, man. So on page 900, 900, they give themselves a pay increase. This is for the great job they're doing in burying the country. First off, they don't. How many days a week do they work? They're out. They only work like 133. Now you make the argument, Steve, you don't want them around because the more work they do, the trouble. But. And it's not like they haven't had these coal increases, I don't know, for 15 years or whatever. But it's not like they went from. From 173 to 176 or gave themselves a $5,000 raise or a bonus of 10,000 bucks, which is a big bonus in today's environment. Right. What they did is they took it. They took the whole thing. And one fell swoop. One to $243,000. So that's a. They gave themselves basically a 35%. A 35% raise without asking. Yeah. What would be your response? Do they deserve a raise? Come on, man. They've working hard. Come on. Come on, man. You know, that's a very tough environment up there when you have the nation capital. You get all those beautiful restaurants and all that. Come on. It's tough. Oh, oh, by the way. And they also. They also took themselves. They opted out of Obamacare so they don't have to do that. Right. They couldn't pass it, so you could opt out, but they did it for themselves. And what sticks in my crawl, it shows you that. That Mike Johnson doesn't have what we call the right stuff. If you were going to do that, you need to socialize that. They need to come to you and say, hey, look, we can't afford living in D.C. anymore. We need a race. Now. You would say, hell no, but at least it'd be a beginning of a dialogue to continue to say no and not just trying to be sneaky and doing it. Okay, we're gonna. I'm gonna crank up. Let's crank up Harper Valley team. We want Matt Gaetz back. Matt Gaetz, we want you back in D.C. on January 3rd to go full Harper's Valley PTA on these folks to tell them everything. We're going to leave you with Harper's Valley pta. We're going to be back in the worm in just a moment.
Matt Gaetz
Where Jones be told to keep her when the shades all fall completely down. Well, Mr. Harper couldn't be here cause he stayed too long at Kelly's bar again and if you smell Shirley Thompson's bread you'll find she's had a little nip a gin and then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit. Well this is just a little painting place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites. No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did. It happened just this way the day my mama sucked you to the Harper.

Charlie Dent
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.
Cash Patel
Said on his podcast about this implosion of the bipartisan compromise funding deal and what it what it signifies about what is to come. If you think the last 48 hours has been unique, every day coming in when President Trump takes over is going to be like this. Particularly as they as Elon tries to make these type of cuts and President Trump tries to reorganize the government and get back on the right track and save the country.
Charlie Dent
Charlie Dent, your reaction?
Cash Patel
Well, I guess Steve Bannon is promising never ending chaos. I mean that's what he's Suggesting, because that's what we've had, and I have to kind of inform the whole world here that the House Republicans do not have 218 votes on their own to pass a continuing resolution or a debt ceiling now or during the next Congress. We all know this. That's why there has to be conversation, conversations with the Democrats because they need the Democrats to vote for these things. And therefore, you know, they're going to expect things. Heard enough. Make it stop. So. So Charlie Dent is one of these moderate Republicans from Pennsylvania that sold this country out for decades after decades. So. So when we go in and remember, we're the people trying to say, hey, it's chaotic right now and what you're doing with the purchasing power, the dollar, the debt, this is total chaos that's going on, although it looks like it's under control because they're all, you know, it's kind of this process. They have these committee meetings. So when we insert ourselves as the war in posse and say, hey, when you say a clean CR, you're already spending $500 billion for the quarter. And we hate that because it's the old spending. It hasn't been cut. But when you layer on another 300 billion, are you just going to sit there and take it? Right. With no offset. See, here's the thing that's changed. The game has changed fundamentally in that you guys are so much more knowledgeable today, right. Than a couple of years ago. You understand the process of how it works, but you also, also get into the receipts. You get into the. You get into the details, right? The details. What, this. So they can't fool you anymore when they come up with the cr. And this is why I was in prison. I was so impressed with Grace Chung. And by the way, can we get a shout out for Grace? Grace couldn't make it out here. That Grace Chung's a tough one. I'll tell you. Grace could make one. She's. She's anchoring. The thing was so rapidly developing in. In D.C. grace is at her command center, so we're gonna try. Oh, and I got another announcement, too. 12:30 to 2 today, 12:30 to 2 in room 124A and B. So I think that's upstairs. 111 24, 1 24A and B. From 12:30 to 2, we're gonna have a. A get together. Okay. So we'll get to see a party, right? If you want to bring an adult beverage or something from here, bring it. We're going to. I don't think we, we can't get anything in the room. Is that too hard? You can bring things in the room. We can't bring them in because of restrictions. Plus, you know, we know you would drink the, the boardroom budget. We'd start, we start in a bigger deficit than, than the C.R. no, but we want everybody from 1232 will get you fired up for the late afternoon speakers. How's that? So 1232, 1 24AMB and we'll have a meet and greet and hang out now there's some chairs there stuff. But we'll figure out you guys we can call audible. So we'll call it audible in the room. We're really looking forward. I've really enjoyed the two meet and greets we've had so far in the last couple of days here. So, so back to that. What they want is they want the, they want the forum of, of things as normal while they're passing things that are destroying the country. But as soon as you insert yourself in the process, go yo, hang on for a second. We, we have a vote right you now you guys have inserted yourselves in this process. Say hey, it's got to pass much without if not, we're going to light these guys up back home. And believe me, there's nothing they hate more than you guys calling their D.C. office, calling their local office. The local office is very powerful. Sending emails, sending in that we know, we know that you're, you're polite when you call and we want to make sure everybody's polite. But every now and again, if it boils over, hey, you know, it's vox populate. But so they are absolutely intimidated about this going forward. And like I said, folks, we haven't seen anything. One thing we're going to try to gird you guys for is when it comes, it's going to come hard and we got to make sure we can communicate. You get up on, you know, all the chat rooms we got, you're sharing the biggest thing you could do now since we've gone through with the precinct strategy and everything like that is obviously jade, but it's being a force multiplier in information the next six months since we're between kind of elections and we got obviously the precinct strategy and taking over your state parties doing voter registration, that's all going to be important. But obviously that gets more important as you get closer election that for the next six months the game's really going to shift to Capitol Hill. The game's going to shift there of what President Trump puts forward and to make sure he doesn't have to have too many trade offs. Let's go back to the, to the Matt Gaetz. The thing that worried me most about the leaks that came out of Matt Gaetz is when Matt Gaetz was going around just as the first Republicans he met, they leaked out that and he didn't do this but they leaked that Matt had committed as attorney general not to investigate Liz Cheney, not to investigate MSNBC or Weissman or Rachel Matt or that in this vast criminal conspiracy and not to investigate Dr. Fauci. Now we know that's not true but that shows you, that shows you the way the central apparatus they're petrified. They're petrified right now of the those investigations. There is a, Natalie is going to take over a, I'm going to come out to the audience and do some interviews. But now it's going to be there's a huge story that's brewing in D.C. that's not getting enough attention and now even Fox News is getting upset about it. Scott Jennings and remember Scott Jennings, the McConnell guy. But Scott Jennings I think has seen the writing on the wall of cnn. He's, he's becoming a fire breathing populace day by day. Right? Scott, we'll take your brother. We're always, we're always looking for, we're always looking. We'll, we'll onboard people. We'll for your, your, your, your previous sins are forgiven. We'll get you up here right. You just can't be phony. You gotta be. But Scott Jennings lighting them up. There's a story out there that they knew from the beginning they knew from the beginning that Biden was infirm and this deal was run by other people and Kamala Harris canceled her vacation and came back. Now this rumors going around that hey they're thinking of invoking the 25th Amendment that Biden was not even been engaged in this huge fight the last couple of days and I'm here even hearing rumors saying that the reason they're doing that is Biden so infirm he can't sign, he can't sign the blanket preemptive pardons and that's their number one priority right now.

Podcast Summary: Bannon's War Room – Episode 4144: Final Day Of AMFest
Release Date: December 21, 2024
Host: WarRoom.org (Stephen K. Bannon)
Length: Approximately 56 minutes
In Episode 4144 titled "Final Day Of AMFest," host Stephen K. Bannon engages with guests including Cash Patel and Charlie Dent to dissect the current political landscape. The discussion centers around government corruption, tax policies, the resurgence of populism, and strategic moves within the Republican Party as the nation approaches significant political milestones.
Steve Bannon opens the discussion by criticizing the Deep State, referring to it as a network of "Government Gangsters" entrenched within U.S. agencies. He highlights individuals like Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco, suggesting their actions undermine national integrity.
Cash Patel elaborates on this theme, arguing that career bureaucrats have entrenched themselves in government departments, weaponizing a "two-tier system of justice" against former President Donald Trump and allies. He cites various controversies, including Russiagate, Hunter Biden's laptop, and classified document cases, asserting that these instances reveal the Deep State's "dangerous and vindictive" nature.
Charlie Dent challenges Patel's assertions, emphasizing the need for evidence to support claims of corruption. He underscores the importance of rooting out wrongdoing within institutions like the FBI and DOJ but warns that without concrete proof, public support may wane.
The conversation shifts to taxation, with Cash Patel and Steve Bannon debating the merits of raising taxes on the wealthy. Gillian Tett joins to highlight the irony in current political narratives regarding taxation and populism.
Cash Patel advocates for specific tax reforms, questioning the lack of detailed proposals from leaders like Trump on how to implement tax increases on corporations and wealthy individuals.
Gillian Tett observes the shifting stance among populist figures, noting a bipartisan move towards advocating for higher taxes on the wealthy—a stance traditionally opposed by conservatives.
Charlie Dent adds historical context, referencing former President Ronald Reagan's emphasis on controlling government spending as a cornerstone of economic policy.
Steve Bannon discusses the enduring influence of Donald Trump within the MAGA movement, asserting that Trump's leadership is pivotal for sustaining populist momentum.
Gillian Tett contemplates the normalization of populism in American politics, suggesting that its integration signifies a fundamental shift in the nation's political ethos.
Cash Patel emphasizes the essential role of the American populace in maintaining political and economic stability, drawing parallels to the Roman Republic's focus on citizenship.
The discussion critiques mainstream media's portrayal of political events and the handling of investigations targeting Trump and his allies. Cash Patel asserts that media narratives are attempts to "rewrite reality," undermining legitimate political discourse.
Steve Bannon suggests forthcoming investigations into key figures and events, framing them as part of a broader conspiracy against Trump.
Cash Patel discusses the internal dynamics within the Republican Party, particularly focusing on Matt Gaetz's contentious relationship with the Ethics Committee and his potential return to Congress.
Matt Gaetz is portrayed as a central figure poised to challenge the established order within Capitol Hill, advocating for transparency and accountability.
Charlie Dent remarks on the significance of Gaetz's actions, suggesting they symbolize a broader resistance against entrenched political corruption.
Looking ahead, Cash Patel outlines strategies for empowering the American populace, emphasizing grassroots organization and informed voter engagement as critical components for future political success.
He underscores the importance of leveraging information and maintaining momentum to counteract legislative maneuvers that may undermine Republican objectives.
Gillian Tett emphasizes the necessity of adapting political strategies to the evolving landscape, particularly in light of increased populist sentiment.
Episode 4144 of Bannon's War Room delves deep into the current fracturing of U.S. politics, highlighting themes of governmental corruption, the rise of populism, and strategic challenges facing the Republican Party. Through passionate discourse and strategic analysis, the episode underscores the urgency for informed activism and cohesive political strategies to navigate the complexities of the impending political environment.
