Steve Bannon (3:33)

I want to deal with the substance of this, and I promise to do that, but because for Trump, it's never about the substance. I want to stay with the leading men in Trump's life. With you, Stuart Stevens. The idea that Elon Musk is the alpha only exists in a world where Trump can be bought. And what's so amazing to me is that Trumpism has always been transactional for Trump, but we've never seen the public display of someone else getting to grift off Trump's presidency. Elon Musk feels like. Feels like the beta for that, right? A real test case.

Ruth Ben Ghiat (4:16)

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going.

Eddie Glaude (4:24)

Medieval on these people. Christians not got a free shot.

Ruth Ben Ghiat (4:28)

All these networks lying about the people.

Eddie Glaude (4:31)

The people have had a belly full of it.

Ruth Ben Ghiat (4:32)

I know you don't like hearing that.

Eddie Glaude (4:34)

I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but.

Ruth Ben Ghiat (4:36)

You'Re not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

Eddie Glaude (4:38)

And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

Ruth Ben Ghiat (4:48)

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Stephen K. Bannon (4:58)

War room.

Eddie Glaude (4:59)

Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. It's New year's Eve on the 31st of December. It's a Tuesday in the last day of 24. What a historic year, an amazing year. We would normally be doing kind of our end of year show, kind of a special. Tomorrow we'd be doing a special, but, you know, the winds of change are blowing and they're blowing hard. They're howling right now. And there's 20 days until we take over the government, President Trump's administration. We got a lot of work to do. We got to sort some Things out on our side of the football. I'm calling for a total and complete moratorium on all immigration. All of these programs are scams. The student is a scam. All of them are scams. They're all in it to do one thing, to make sure they get more foreigners in this country to compete with you full stop. Whether it's your kids, whether. And this is keeping afloat the elites in this country. And the education thing. The education thing is a scam. The H1B visas are scammed. They're all scams. Scams. It's got to be reviewed and it's got to be reviewed in a broad daylight, explained to the American people. We're trying to not only hide the football and three card money. No, it's got to be explained. American people have to buy in. The citizens of this nation have to buy in to the immigration program because they're bearing the burden of it. They're paying for it. They're fighting and dying overseas for it. Explain it to them. Explain to them. They don't want to do. They want to hide behind everything. High skilled workers, you can't get enough. You guys don't want to work. What if Vivek say you're just mediocre? You're just mediocre. Jock culture is bad. Prom queen's bad. Jocks are bad. As you get stuffed in the locker for the ninth time. Now, Vivek, the way you stop that is you come out fighting and you start biting their fingers. And so the next time they come to pick on you and they only got four digits, they'll think twice. Okay, you can't. You can't. You can't outperform an A spelling bee. They ain't going to respect that. Ben Berkhwam's been on this from day one. Ben, get us up to speed. You've put yourself, Oscar Blue Ramirez, your entire team, I don't know, four or five years. We met you at the wall years and years ago, back in 2019. We built the wall down there. You were down there with us. Rob Sig was down there with us. Parker was just a young cub. The Sigs did the streaming from there. Just magnificent. The wall we built down there, right in. Have you ever seen Sicario? Right in the heaviest sex and human trafficking and drug trafficking place right up that hill. Berquam, you've been at this a long time, brother. I just gotta ask you. You know this. You know the illegal side. You guys have been in these camps. You've been down you went through the Darien Gap. You've been all over where reporters wouldn't go, and BBC and these guys came years after you guys were down there. What's your assessment of this debate we're having over the last couple days, sir?

Ben Berkwam (8:06)

Yeah, I totally agree that we should have a moratorium on immigration in total until we stop the bleeding. Our country is bleeding out. It's like our leg. We chopped our leg off and we're talking about fixing the scab we have on our arm. We've got to stop the bleeding. And it's all tied together. You mentioned all of these different visas. Now, some of them may have been, you know, idealistic in their intent, but what they've become is a gaming of the system. It's a way to bastardize immigration into America. And all of these NGOs, they all know the games, every single one of them. And when we're talking about whether it's H1B or any of these things, they're all gamed now, you know, the asylum process. My wife and I'm a guy who has. I have three children because my wife got to escape communism. Her family got to come here from Laos. But when they came, they had to be sponsored. They had to not be a drain on our society. They had to have families in America who said, we're going to back these people up until they become Americans. And now my wife's family are the most patriotic people I know. My wife, I was there when she got her citizenship. So there's a beauty of coming to America, but it has been so bastardized intentionally by the left that it's unworkable at this point. And so whether you're talking about the Darien Gap, we've gone through it four times. The intent, you've got Catholic Charities. I'm here in San Diego, by the way. Real quick, Steve, I just want to say this. So I was just down on the border last night. I got illegal aliens coming across, big groups of Chinese and Middle Easterners all day long. We're out there at 9 o'clock last night. Groups coming across. We got CBP1 still coming across. And I just want to show you this behind me and you. It's hard to see. This is one of the largest bum camps in America. This place is massive. They set this up. San Diego set this up. The same San Diego that is now a super sanctuary city. All of that you see there is a homeless encampment that is right below the. The, the salt and the wound, pissing on our veterans it's right below the veterans hospital. So we're taking billions of dollars of our tax dollars and keeping people homeless. Every single street here, San Diego used to be a beautiful city, is just full of homelessness, full of drug addicts. They're not doing anything to fix that. Gavin Newsom and the Democrats have wasted all that money. And while they're doing that, they're inviting in the largest invasion in the history of our country. And the last thing I want to hear from Republicans, it's the same thing we've heard from the RINOs for 20 years. Well, we just need to. We need to do the DACA, we need to do the H1B. We need to do this thing and then we'll deal with the bleeding out. No, you deal with the bleeding out. We are bleeding out as a nation. Stop it all. Prosecute, investigate and prosecute the people that have been behind this invasion. Defund all of these NGOs, defund the United nations, defund OIM, defund UNHCR, any single person that has been involved with this. And investigate every politician in America that has supported this invasion. And prosecute the ones that have been co opted by the cartels. That should be our focus. Stop it all. Investigate, prosecute, stop the bleeding and save America. I don't want to hear anything about increasing immigration, about some of these programs are good or bad. We're dying. We're dying as a nation. We have to stop. I mean, unless you want us to die.

Eddie Glaude (11:29)

Well, I think they want American citizens to die. That's the, the point of it. Ben, I know you've done a great job. And the reporting, I think, shocked people that Biden, although the Democratic Party got blown out. They're down there with the CP1 app and they got this app going, Axios. Mike Allen and the team are reporting this morning at Axios, which is kind of the inside baseball of the Washington consensus that Biden, these guys have had these judges, these courts going 247 to try to get as many once they're here to try to get these asylum courts. Tell us about that for a second, because the Axios story is blowing up right now.

Ben Berkwam (12:05)

Yeah, well, and it's actually what they did when they first came into office. They dismissed these cases. And what that means is they basically said, well, these people can stay. And now you have a pathway to citizenship. You can now apply for citizenship. And that's what they're trying to do. In the last minute, in the ninth inning, the last hour, these guys are trying to get the immigration judges to dismiss all of these cases, which basically allows all of these illegals to stay in our country. And that's what we're seeing across the country. They're going to try to get as many of these dismissed. So that way they can't. President Trump can't say they're illegal. And knowing full well that they're all illegal. I mean, in the first couple years, we heard that they dismissed over a million cases. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than that in these last few months.

Eddie Glaude (12:49)

And I got it balanced. But you're reporting last night that in San Diego, on the other side of the border, they're coming through Chinese, Middle Eastern all over. They're still being waved in.

Ben Berkwam (13:01)

Steve, it is absolutely disgusting. A mile, not even a mile, a hundred yards from where the CBP1 buses were loading. I couldn't believe it. At 9:00 last night, CBP1 buses, the, the Jewish family services is there picking them up 100 yards away. You got Chinese and Middle Easterners still coming across and getting. You got to see the video, Steve. Not only are they getting concierge service, we're. We wasted an entire van on transporting their bags so that we don't lose any of their baggage. These illegals are invading our country. We should be turning their ass around and sending them back immediately. We're inviting them in today right now with concierge service.

Eddie Glaude (13:46)

Ben, real quickly, where do people go to get all your content over the next couple days till we have you back on on Thursday.

Eddie Glaude (16:11)

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. So we got, I think Congressman Sparks is going to try and join us. There is this huge deal about the Speaker's race. Obviously we'll be non stop on that on, on Thursday and Friday, but there is a lot of stuff going on right now. President Trump has endorsed Speaker Johnson and Elon came out and supported. I saw Newsmax like Newsmax last night. Speaker Johnson, we're going to talk a lot about that. Hopefully Congressman Sparks can join us also. All kind of stuff going on on the debt. We finished now the sixth free installment of the end of the dollar empire birchgold.com so here if you can just download it. You got a couple days. You know we got a special on tomorrow. I'll be on fact. Ben will join me. Joe Allen will join me. Sir Raheem will join me for the New Year's Day special. You don't want to miss that. But you have some time in the next couple of days to read Modern Monetary Theory, the idea that broke the world. Told you. Credit cards, $1.2 trillion of credit cards, average APR, I don't know, 25 to 27%. President Trump said, hey, I'm getting it down to Bernie Sanders making a big deal about trying to hold him to that. Well, President Trump's going to try hard. But right now you got, they just wrote off, I think $78 billion of credit card debt to zero. The pressure is on, right? The pressure is on. And so now I think more than ever you need to look at alternative kind of asset classes. Philip Packtry and the team will talk to you about that. So go to birchgold.com, you go, you get the end of the Dollar Empire. You can read all six series. It's kind of like a small book now. I'm really proud of this because you need to be up to speed, particularly as we have the debt ceiling story and we know the Secretary of Treasury came out with the letter. She's already saying you got to go to emergency measures. So, hey, after. On. Starting on Thursday, when we're back to regular shows, right, you're going to see the Firestorm. It's just going to be all over everybody. On every. On the. On the kinetic part of the Third World War. Harnibal's going to be here in a minute on that. We got this fiasco on budgets, deficits, Doge Deconstruction Administration, state the debt. Kane over at Citizens Free Press had the debt clock. He took the debt clock out, just using the math of the debt clock. Just put a number in. $51 trillion. What was it by 20? 2030. I want to say 2030. 2025. 2030. I think it was 20, 30. 51 trillion. Four years. 51 trillion. There'll be a new world after that. You do understand that? So go get. If you just want to get the IRAs and 401ks, just take your phone and text Bannon at 989-898. Do it today. Now, you want to know how to get jacked up for those rants? Warpath Coffee. Just go to Warpath Coffee right now. And 6,000 of the War Room Posse have given it five star reviews. 6,000, folks, don't take it from me. Read the reviews. They got every different kind of flavor in the world. Now, Mariners Blend, this is Navy brew, dark roast. But I tell you, they took years to take the acid out of it. You don't need cream or sugar. You can drink this the old fashioned way, black. Just like we do on destroyers, right? When you're in the North Arabian Sea of the Persian Gulf, I'll give you my Jimmy Carter story, right? My Jimmy Carter story. Young naval officer. We're in an exercise to go to my second WESTPAC Western Pacific on the USS Paul Foster. @ this time, I was the navigator. We get called in because the hostage just got taken. I think we'd been underway three or four weeks. We were doing a workup in the. In what's called the OP area off of Hawaii. And I think it was the Midway. So we followed the Midway to Korea. They had to get there because the carrier battle groups around Korea had immediately gone to the Middle east, which the Navy was not used to. You Know, it wasn't really our. The British really controlled that. So we went over there and this is President Carter. This was the hostage crisis. And we had to work up for months and months and months every day doing the exercises with the helicopters. And you could kind of tell, I don't know if this thing's going to work because Iran, when you're there, looks like, looks like the Mountains of the Moon. It's a pretty bleak landscape. I don't think we saw the sun totally the entire time. It's always gray because of the dust or what they call foreign object debris. Fod, which makes pretty tough on helicopters. So I'm not sure they thought that one through. And as a, I don't know, 24, 25 year old naval officer, I was sitting there going, I don't know if we thought this one through. And I was a grundoon to a grundoon. But one thing I did realize then, I'm not so sure what real information gets up all the way to the Commander in Chief and to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and to the Situation Room. It was a great learning experience for me later when I was in those spots, because you just don't know. Like in Syria when they tell you, oh, yeah, use chemical weapons, were you sure about that? Do you have evidence of that? Are we like 100%? Because you're asking President Trump to be firing cruise missiles into something. Are we sure? Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely. We got pictures here, here. And of course, you find out a year later, not so much. So I can give you more details of my President Carter's story on Ganzo Station and Camel Station up in the North Arabian Sea by the. Was it Gafa, Oman in the Persian Gulf? Today we got issues of our own. Think back in those times, what is it, 40 years ago, and think where this country is today and the people that sacrificed for the Gulf War. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, section 60 over at, over at Arlington National Cemetery, where our honored dead that gave the ultimate sacrifice for this republic, what would they think of us today? And that's who we owe this to, right? That's what we do this. We owe as much. It's Burke's dictum, we owe as much to the past as we owe to the future. Yes, it is for the children and grandchildren, but we owe a debt. We owe a debt back to every patriot's grave, to the beginning of this project, to the new Jerusalem. And we're here to say, hey, we ain't going down without a fight. Okay, Bhatia, your thoughts where do we go Here you had a crazy Irishman yelling in a microphone for the last hour or so. You're pretty calm, cool and collective. Where do you think? Where do we take this? Where do we go on this project to make sure that the oligarchs don't destroy the American working man and woman?

Batya Ungar-Sargon (23:03)

Ma'am, first of all, everyone should go and watch your two epic rants last hour. They were so unbelievably perfect. I'll just add a little bit of data to the point you were making. You were talking about how we shouldn't be distinguishing between illegal and legal immigration. First of all, when I was traveling for my book Second Class, around the country, interviewing hundreds of working class people, people from both parties, they totally agree with you. They want a full moratorium on immigration, legal and illegal. When you hear somebody saying we can only control illegal immigration, but we should be expanding legal immigration, this is Rhino talk. This is the kind of thing that Democrats and Republicans are already trying to come together again over in order to expand immigration. The problem is that legal immigration also reduces wages because labor, like everything else, adheres to the ironclad law of supply and demand. The more you have of something, the cheaper it is. And so you are completely correct that the thing we should be doing is asking for a total moratorium on immigration. If you take the graph of working class wages since the 70s, which was the high water mark right when they started to go like this, and you compare it to the graph of immigration, they're like this. They are a complete X, because the more immigrants, the less wages. Native born Americans of all races, as you always point out, Mr. Bannon can ask for. And I'll just make one more point on this, which is that the share of the United States population right now that is foreign born is 15%, which is the highest it has ever been in the history of this nation. The last time it came this close at 14% was the gilded Age, a time characterized by inequality and 1971, the share of the population that was foreign born at that high water mark for working class wages, 4%. So I think that you are spot on, Mr. Bannon, as always.

Eddie Glaude (25:06)

Bhatia, where people get your writings, where you're writing today, and of course, your books and podcasts, all your content. You've got a big fan base here in the war room.

Batya Ungar-Sargon (25:16)

I'm on Twitter, although who knows how much longer my account will be active there. Like many of us, I think we're seeing the writing on the walls of a new censorship regime from the so called free speech person, Mr. Elon Musk. I'm on Instagram, atia us. I'm the opinion editor at Newsweek where we really try to give a lot of room to voices across the political spectrum. And whenever I'm invited, I am of course here because this is the place to be. Mr. Bannon, God bless you. Happy New Year and thank you for your patriotism and your heroism. It is so needed. You are the man that we need and thank God the man we have.

Eddie Glaude (25:55)

Thank you, Batya. I appreciate you. Make sure we get everybody hooked up to all your content. Thank you for the kind words. Not totally deserved. I get the easiest job in the world. I just take warpath coffee in. One of the posse said you're in jacked up thug mode today. I just yell into a microphone, you guys are the guys that do the work, right? But we're building a cadre. One thing I will tell you, as people come to the show and listen to it more and more, the scales are dropping off their eyes. I think this last one's been a great exercise for us because they're going to treat you like a child, they're going to lecture you and they're going to lie to you. Bald faced lie highly skilled foreign workers. This is not about India. India is one of the greatest civilizations on this planet. The depth of its knowledge of philosophy is virtually unparalleled. I think it's an ancient, ancient civilization and it's got, I think, one of the finest leaders in the world as a nationalist. Modi thinks of India first, second and third. And it's also the largest democracy. Remember, 800 million people I think can vote at 1.4 billion overall. This is not about India. It's not about Indians. This is about citizens of this country. You are fully capable of doing these jobs. And it's the 50 or 60 million or 70 million men that are not in the workforce in working age that we need to get back. They're one of our greatest resources and they feel like trash. They feel like garbage. It's not right. And we're not going to rest until we set things right. Short break. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. Okay, we do have a speakers contest on Friday that is going to take up a lot of our time. On Thursday and Friday we're going to get into the details of it. I'll be putting stuff up on Getter and Grace will be putting it up on Twitter the rest of the day and through tomorrow on New Year's Day. Joining Us now is Congresswoman Victoria Spartz from Indiana. Congressman, you were on the show a couple times in the big fights of last year in 2030. You made a decision a while ago to say, hey, look, if this thing's going to be like it is and we're not going to really make any changes, the appropriation bill not going to get done. I'm going to go spend time with my family. And then you made a decision, hey, I think I need to be back. And clearly the people in your district love you and want you to be back. As you're here now getting ready for this, was it the right decision?

Stephen K. Bannon (29:11)

Well, I think, you know, I always look at things and I said, you know what, everything is in the hands of God. And I, you know, I grew up under Marxism in a very tough environment and have enormous appreciation for freedoms. And unfortunately I have to fight my own party. And I've done it from Tea Party time because my party is betraying the American people. And if we do that, Marxists are going to win. So I spent a lot of time in the trenches and I said, oh my gosh, it's insanity. I get PTSD from this job. I need to spend maybe more time and get my sanity back. But a lot of people in my district were upset and I felt like, you know what, Republicans are failing again and I'll just let people and God decide. You know, I joined the race. It was a very tough race. A lot of money was spent against me in very short period of time. But people and God decided now I cannot fail and I have to make sure that Republicans are going to deliver on the promises that, you know, that we've done and help President Trump to actually have these slurs in the code because you thought it's happened when we didn't do it having majority in 2016, as soon as he was gone as everything was short lived and Congress became broken and corrupt as institutions. So we have to fix it now.

Eddie Glaude (30:26)

Congressman, you put out something the other day about what you're looking forward to going to vote for Speaker. And it appeared to folks as be kind of common sense of what they would want to do if they were in your position. But it was, the reaction was like you were trying to change the Constitution. Can you go through what you put out and what you're talking about and why did that create a firestorm?

Stephen K. Bannon (30:50)

Well, unfortunately we need to teach people what about really Constitution's about. And there are a lot of people that willing to put their life on the line and freedoms People like you and a lot of Americans don't realize how many Americans sacrifice for us to have this freedom when we don't have political elites and people on top telling us what to do. But it's all about the money. Congress being Article 1 branch for a reason. Because our founding fathers wanted to make sure that we'll watch over people's money. And unfortunately, Congress haven't been doing its job. This is a constitutional duty, you know, for Congress to serve the people. And if we don't drain the swamp with the money, all other stuff doesn't matter. All letters, presentations don't matter. Only money matters. When we get this agency to the table, including agencies like FBI or doj, that's been oppressive and say, you know what, you're going to lose your money. You have to justify and tell us what in the hell are you doing with people's money that will get their attention. That is the only way for us to deliver on promises that President Trump ran on and won.

Eddie Glaude (31:56)

So are you demanding that Johnson sit down with you, that Speaker Johnson sit down with you and convince you he's going to do it? Because clearly it hasn't happened in the past. Where do we stand and where do we stand with your demands?

Stephen K. Bannon (32:09)

I think he needs to say it publicly because unfortunately, you know, whatever he says, and I mean you have seen what's happened before with all of the fiscal commissions that he was trying to deal and you know that we have a plan for debt ceiling increase. I mean, President Trump is right, we have no plan and he inherited a lot of problems, but it should have been dealt with previous speaker two years ago. But he didn't deal with that too when I tried to push on him. You know, we need to make sure that we have some structures in place that will be able to do that. But he needs to say that public. You saw what he did on fisa. He was deciding vote to let the swamp win and have warrantless surveillance on Americans. So I do not trust him. He was making deals with Schumer, suspended the rules and then after the rule suspensions, he was making deal with them and have his hundred soldiers that will robust them. Anything for him. And pretty much let Democrats run the show for the last two years except post office bills. Republican couldn't pass anything meaningful. It's like Democrats were making fun of us, you know, and it's really sad reality. So he doesn't have any trust that I don't trust him that he's gonna deliver. But I think he needs to on his Constitutional duties. I don't ask him to do anything beyond what the Constitution require Congress to do. To actually go in front of the American people and say how he's gonna be delivering on President Trump agenda to make sure that it has lasted and effects, to make sure we're going to eliminate this fraud, abuse and corruption and oppression of people. And it's all Steve about the money. If we don't deal with money, everything else doesn't matter. So I will have a meeting with him. We had discussions, but I don't trust he's going to do it. So I think he needs to publicly say what he's going to do it. And if he's not willing to do it, then he doesn't have courage and he will not do it because he has so many people in swamp putting pressure and he forwarded to them every time. For the last year he's been a speaker every time he folded to the swamp. So suddenly he's not going to be this warrior and fighter. But if he's not willing to do it, then he shouldn't be a speaker. But if he says that he's going to do it, he needs to be transparent with the people.

Eddie Glaude (34:18)

Okay, so you're saying, hey, I've dealt with this guy enough. What he says in the room, and I've heard this from so many people, what he says in the room is not what actually happens. You get caught by surprise. Like the 1500 page document with the $300 billion increase over the CR plus a pay raise that I know you didn't want a surprise pay raise. So you're saying, hey, I don't trust you. But if you come out publicly and do these following things and state it publicly and show us a plan that you'll stick to, I can be convinced if he does not come out with that plan, right? If he doesn't feel comfortable or for whatever reason, he doesn't come out with that plan. Given that President Trump and Elon Musk now both said they have his backing. Where is Congressman Victoria Spartz on the afternoon of the third January in the year of our Lord 2025?

Stephen K. Bannon (35:06)

Well, listen, and I understand the concerns with President Trump and Elon have. I understand that, you know, I understand that they want to make sure that things go smoothly in January 12, January 6, January 20 going to happen. I get it. And it will happen. But we need to make sure that we have lasting effects and also we'll have a leader who will help them to deliver. So the challenge is we're Also changing the rules. A lot of people don't realize it, so they're pushing speaker pushing to change the rules where it will take, I mean minimum it will be nine people to vacate the speaker. So after the speaker is done, if he doesn't commit before it, there's going to be no accountability. Unfortunately you might be find two or three people willing to die on the hill. Very hard to find nine people there. So it's very likely that whoever's going to be the speaker is going to be speaker for the next two years. And you don't know in two years if we don't deliver, we're probably going to lose majority because people will be pissed off at us. So I think this is going to be very important that we have the speaker that is committed to deliver an agenda and actually the plan. And if speaker is not willing to do it and doesn't have a courage and to actually govern our branch and deliver on promises. I cannot deliver for the people that elected me. I was elected by people that grassroots people, Trump supporter, MAGA people, conservatives that I said I will go and take this hill for you. So my responsibility is the people I represent in Constitution. If I don't have the speakers willing to do it, I cannot vote for him and I will not vote for him.

Eddie Glaude (36:36)

What is the last question? Because I know you gotta bounce. What is the one of everything that's coming at US from the third kinetic part of the third world war to the 15 million illegal aliens we've gotta get outta here, the H1B visas, the debt at $37 trillion. What is the one problem you would tell the American people that given your knowledge of the inside that keeps you.

Stephen K. Bannon (36:58)

Up at night healthcare, this has become destructive for our country. We're destroying the health productivity of our nation. We're really killing American people. Between bad food and you know, bad medicine. That is really right now with subsidizing oligopolies, bankrupted people, bankrupting the country, you know, hyperinflation of price and the outcomes are going down. We need to be healthy, productive nation. We need to treat people but also not just provide value, good quality of life, have a productive society. We're spending so much money on this subsidizing and people are not getting healthier. So we need to have a healthy population. And it's truly the biggest corruption in Washington D.C. oligopolies on healthcare, hundreds of billions of fraud and they pretty much bought the Senate and a lot of people are afraid of them. So I think health care is One of the biggest issues if we resolve, we will have a lot of great things happen in our society and make our population more productive, better workforce, healthier workforce and better future for our country.

Eddie Glaude (38:00)

Congressman, people want to follow you, particularly over the next 72 hours. Where do they go on social media and your website so they can keep up with all your latest thinking?

Stephen K. Bannon (38:09)

Well, I think we'll do it on exit rap S P A R T Z Rep. Spartz and I try to keep posted as much as I can and you know, and I'm very transparent and I'll tell how it is, but I understand, you know, I pick my heels to die on Steve. You know, I don't die on every hill. But we have to take that and this is very important hill. If we don't take that hill in the next year, we are not going to have greatness and prosperity that President Trump promised and we have to get this republic. I said it's like a Titanic. It is like a Titanic and it's been on the scre course collision course for a while. So we'll need to make some adjustments. But I think President Trump has courageous people in his agencies. He has a lot of good people around him. But it all goes back to Congress. They will betray him if we don't have strong speaker. He will not even understand what they're doing. Unfortunately, this one being very clever and they know a lot of tricks and procedures and speaker has to have the courage to say enough is enough. I'm going to govern for we the people. I'm elected by the people. We are people's house and that's what constitutional was supposed to do. And we forgot who we serve. Government should be afraid of the people, not people afraid of the government. That is by our funding principles and we need to go back to them.

Eddie Glaude (39:24)

Congressman, honored to have you on here, ma'am. We will follow you closely and look forward to having you back on.

Stephen K. Bannon (39:29)

Thank you. Thank you for having me, Steve.

Eddie Glaude (39:32)

Thank you, ma'am. Ben Harnwell I guess we'll stay in Ukraine. I got Harn well, I got D. Royce White. Ben, I know you got some thoughts here and I want to get in about Ukraine about this, all this breaking news and it looks like they're trying to jam President Trump into a corner. Thoughts, Steve?

Ben Harnwell (39:51)

Yeah, look, this story, I wonder if Denver would very kindly pull up the article that I have here and there's, there's some headlines going around to say that Putin and Sergey Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, have rejected Trump's peace proposals for Ukraine. And I just wanted to come in and weigh on this and suggest look, I think that the press is somewhat overselling this. I think this is more noise rather than signal for a whole number of reasons. But essentially there's no proposals that Donald Trump can either formally or informally make at this point because he's not being inaugurated. If you Remember back in 2016, this was precisely the issue they got formally. This is the issue that they got General Flynn over with regards to the Logan Act.

Eddie Glaude (40:39)

But hang on. But regardless, they say they're going to reject any peacekeeping force, British troops, French troops, NATO troops. That's Lavrov. Those guys said we're not going to consider it. Is there a deal there regardless of the time when president is there a deal there without a security force made up of NATO and British troops, to your thinking?

Ben Harnwell (41:01)

I think all sides, Steve, want now at this point to resolve this. I say all sides. I don't mean the present American administration, but there's desire to get to what would be a peace, a solid viable peace. The Europeans are pushing this idea that they will provide peacekeeping troops. Poland.

Eddie Glaude (41:28)

I'm not sure give your social media. I'm not sure I agree with you, but you're my co host tomorrow morning on the New Year's show. We'll take it up then give what's your social media brother Steve on Get.

Ben Harnwell (41:39)

At Harlem actually we do agree with one another, but I just haven't been able to get in the two minutes to the crux of this. Basically, America is trying to be tricked to stay in the game on this. And I don't think the Trump administration on this. The fundamental issue that Putin said no on is simply ruling out Ukraine membership of NATO for 20 years only. And that's obviously not a viable position to have.

Eddie Glaude (42:06)

Thank you sir. Appreciate detail. Back in a moment. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. Okay, breaking news folks. And I told you we got you in, we read you in on this problem a couple of weeks ago. Remember I kept pushing and arguing we should start we should flood the zone with these confirmations starting on what Monday the 6th or the 7th, as soon as the votes legitimate certified. President Trump just put out. We just want a historic landslide and mandate from the American people. But Senate Democrats are organizing to improperly stall and delay the confirmation process of many of our great nominees. They will try all sorts of tricks starting very soon. Republicans must not allow them to do do that. Gentlemen, we have to go to ladies and gentlemen, we got to go to full on in the Senate to make this happen. We cannot delay President Trump. Remember, 3,000 hit the beach, 1,000 Senate confirmed. But all the big, you know, department heads, Defense, CIA, dni, Homeland Security, the attorney general, all should start immediately. I knew they were going to play these games. And this is in conjunction with some Rhinos, too. You watch. So more on that on Thursday. Royce White, the Royce White joins me. Royce, I know you've been all over this issue of the H1B visas for a while. Give us your thoughts. We're going to have you back on Thursday or Friday, but I wanted to get you in before the, before the stroke of midnight in 2024 to be our last guest, sir.

Royce White (43:35)

I appreciate it, Steve. Always good to be in the war room with you. You know, I've been highly skeptical of Elon for a long time. And, you know, this free enterprise, free trade, normalizing, this globalization and the visas is just another great example. You know, we're going to create a workaround for the illegal immigration crisis that we faced the last I don't know how many generations of American politics by saying we need these people. And it's really an insult to the American people. We need these people because you Americans aren't smart enough to do these jobs. And like you've said before, many people have come on and reiterated there's no evidence for it whatsoever. There are Americans that either are skilled enough, have the aptitude, or can certainly be taught to do these jobs. And even more so than this, you know, the visas are the issue, but the visas are a sort of canary in the coal mine for, you know, America first or maga, becoming this sort of slogan to be slapped on the next agenda of status quo. And we can't let it happen. We're not going to let it happen. Like you said, over our dead body. And I'm right there backing you 100%. The MAGA movement. What's special about the MAGA movement is it's uni party proof and it is status quo proof. We have to ensure that that continues to be the case because it's the last hill that we can die on as American citizenship and American citizenship will die on that hill. So, you know, Elon, and the big issue here is, and I said this exact right after Donald Trump won the next fight over the horizon is technology. And when I said technology, I really meant Elon Musk. But I wasn't saying Elon Musk. But it's not just him. It's a mentality. It's a sort of cosmopolitan global you know, globalist mentality that says we can talk about politics on the surface, but when push comes to shove, the. The unfettered technological advancement, you know, blind faith, sort of without any real wisdom or protocol or, you know, competence in many regards. We're going to push and plow ahead with technology no matter what, whether it's America first, last. You know, technology kind of has its own special silo of consideration and everybody should agree with it and go along with it because it's going to make everything more convenient. Convenience will be the death of freedom, and it will certainly be the death of American freedom. The visas are just a great example and I'm glad we're having the fight right now.

Eddie Glaude (45:55)

Wow, amazing. Look forward to having you back on, Royce. Where do people go to get all your content? I know you're putting stuff and the show's on fire. So where do folks go?
