Overview

In Episode 4145 of "Bannon's War Room," Stephen K. Bannon and his co-hosts engage in a fervent discussion addressing the legitimacy of President Joe Biden's administration, the influence of the Deep State, and various critical political issues facing the United States. The episode features contributions from notable figures such as Van Jones, Raheem Kassam, Scott Pressler, and Eric Metaxas, among others. The panel delves into allegations of governmental misconduct, media manipulation, and the urgent need for accountability within the current political landscape.

Legitimacy of President Biden's Administration

The episode opens with Van Jones expressing concerns about the legitimacy of President Biden's presidency, citing a Wall Street Journal investigation that interviewed 50 individuals familiar with Biden's operations. Jones highlights questions surrounding key decision-making processes, particularly during the Afghanistan withdrawal:

"If the President was as diminished as this story makes it sound, that would be a huge problem. And it could explain why certain decisions were made that turned out to be catastrophic and why no apologies were ever made."
— Van Jones [00:00]

Stephen K. Bannon counters these points by suggesting that Biden's administration has been effectively managed by unelected officials, thereby undermining the President's authority:

"We've apparently had a president that's so diminished that his staff has been hiding it from the American people and making key decisions on behalf of our government..."
— Stephen K. Bannon [02:29]

Deep State Influence and Administrative Control

Bannon and his co-hosts discuss the concept of the Deep State, portraying it as a powerful, unelected group manipulating government actions to serve their own interests. Natalie Winters underscores the Deep State's control over Biden:

"But here's what's so interesting. What do you guys think about this? ... the Deep State has commandeered the illegitimate Biden regime..."
— Natalie Winters [06:15]

Bannon reinforces this narrative by questioning the transparency and accountability of high-level aides and advisors within the administration:

"We can set the country right at the same time. So I think this story, Natalie, and now you've got all kind of rumors going around the Capitol..."
— Stephen K. Bannon [07:24]

Cabinet Meetings and President Biden's Acuity

The panel scrutinizes President Biden's cognitive abilities and the administration's efforts to control his public appearances and responses. Van Jones points out the limited number of Cabinet meetings:

"When the Cabinet met all nine times, which is the least in the last several decades that a president has had their whole Cabinet together in an entire term..."
— Van Jones [00:00]

Bannon responds by highlighting the infrequency of these meetings compared to previous administrations, implying a lack of cohesive leadership:

"He’s met with the whole cabinet twice a year. I mean, President Trump will meet and..."
— Stephen K. Bannon [07:57]

2020 Election Fraud Claims

A significant portion of the discussion revolves around allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Eric Metaxas emphasizes the necessity of investigating these claims to restore democratic integrity:

"If we don’t litigate 2020, then we’re going nowhere."
— Eric Metaxas [30:10]

Bannon supports this stance, linking the legitimacy of the current administration to the unresolved issues from the 2020 election:

"This next four years is all about settling those scores and settling those beefs."
— Eric Metaxas [40:03]

Media Manipulation and the Wall Street Journal Report

Natalie Winters discusses a purported Wall Street Journal report asserting that President Biden was never the legitimate president, reinforcing the Deep State narrative:

"The Wall Street Journal has confirmed something that I’m sure everyone in this audience has known, which is that Joe Biden is and never has been the real president."
— Natalie Winters [04:43]

Bannon questions the timing and motives behind the Wall Street Journal's revelations, suggesting they were withheld to maintain the administration's facade:

"Why did it take, you know, 40 days before Biden’s gone to get this? This story has been an open secret in D.C."
— Stephen K. Bannon [17:47]

Immigration and Border Security

The panel addresses concerns over immigration policies, attributing rising crime rates and national security risks to Biden and Harris's border policies:

"He’s in this country because Biden and Harris opened the borders. This is an invasion of our country and it’s such a security risk for every single American."
— Scott Pressler [38:45]

Scott Pressler advocates for stringent measures against sanctuary cities and increased federal oversight to prevent illegal immigration and associated crimes:

"Sanctuary cities... the federal government should sanction and defund sanctuary cities and cut off federal funding for states that support sanctuary cities."
— Scott Pressler [39:11]

January 6th Investigations and Pardons

The discussion touches on the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol riot, with emphasis on the need for accountability and justice for those involved:

"We need to pardon all the J Sixers on all of them on day one."
— Scott Pressler [37:53]

The panel criticizes the current administration's handling of the investigations, calling for more substantial legal actions rather than superficial remedies:

"Accountability is found in prison sentences. Not strongly worded letters and mean tweets."
— Natalie Winters [32:46]

Foreign Policy Concerns: Ukraine and Gaza

Eric Metaxas links the current leadership to international conflicts, suggesting that different leadership would have resulted in less bloodshed:

"You got all these people dead in Gaza... None of that would have happened if Donald Trump had been reelected."
— Stephen K. Bannon [30:10]

The panel criticizes Biden's foreign policy decisions, attributing global instability and human casualties to the administration's actions:

"One of the greatest things that’s going to happen is Cash Patel going into the FBI and cleaning."
— Eric Metaxas [40:41]

Transgender Issues in Prisons

The episode briefly addresses the controversial topic of transgender individuals in prisons, highlighting perceived mismanagement and policy failures:

"The government’s paying for it. Once he transitions, he was going to be sent to the women's prison on the other side of the wire."
— Natalie Winters [49:00]

— Scott Pressler [37:18]

Concluding Remarks and Calls to Action
