Jonathan Karl
Richest people will be at Trump's inauguration, including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon sees that as a major victory for Trump, as he told our chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl in an interview for this Week airing tomorrow. Take a look.
Steve Bannon
But as soon as Zuckerberg said, I've been invited and I'm going, the floodgates opened up and they were all there knocking, trying to be supplicants. So I look at this and I think most people in our movement look at this as President Trump broke the oligarchs. He broke them and they surrendered. They come, oh, we'll take off any constraints. There'll be no more checkings. Everything Trump saying, I view this as September of 1945, the Missouri. And you have the Imperial high command, the Imperial Japanese, and he's like Douglas MacArthur. They're there. That is an official surrender. Okay? And I think it's powerful.
Jonathan Karl
And you'll be able to see more from Jonathan Karl's interview with Steve Bannon tomorrow on this Week.
Dave Brat
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Steve Bannon
Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Trixon's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. 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. 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. Batt. It's Saturday the 18th of January, year of the Lord, 2025. Welcome second hour of the War Room of our live broadcast here every Saturday morning. Dave Brat I said that these. Tomorrow you'll see it on this Week with Jonathan Carl. I'm interviewed right here in the War Room. And I make the point that Trump broke the oligarchs. They were a creation of Biden. He broke them. And tomorrow is the equivalent of September of 1945 in Tokyo harbor on board the USS Missouri, the surrender of the Imperial high command of the Japanese Empire. And Trump's Douglas MacArthur, he's taking, he's taking their surrender. That's why he's got them all sitting together like in a trophy case. It's like, it's like Teddy Roosevelt's got the big heads of the, the wild animals he was shooting in Sub Saharan Africa. Right. He's bagged and tagged these guys. That's what this is. Your thoughts, sir?
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah. These guys, Whoever wins the moral argument wins the day. The oligarchs have lost every moral argument they've ever entered. Right. They make up, you know, the Magnificent Seven, makes up 40% of the S&P 500. These giant firms have been leading the market up. They're the opposite of a free market system. So they can't win on the economics, then on the politics and the crony corruption. They all have gazillions of lobbyists. They spend gazillions. They own budget lines, they're getting subsidies, they have government contracts. The American people, the bottom half of the income distribution, the war room posse are getting ripped off every day. We've sent all of our jobs overseas. These guys are all using slave labor. So the moral argument is just absurd. They can't win it. And then Biden has utilized these folks. They were all donating. On the left, Zuckerberg specifically targeted only seven swing states and shoved all of his money into targeted blue areas. And now he leaves off the whole 2000 election and all the issues there with fraud and rip offs and he just goes back.
Steve Bannon
He's afraid. He's afraid of. Yeah, he's afraid of a criminal investigation. That's why he's there. That's why he's there. In Mar A Lago, he's so panicked about Zuckerbucks. The guy's a criminal, is gonna be investigated as a criminal. He can pay all that. He can underwrite all the black tie balls he wants. He can come and be a supplicant, give all the million dollar checks he wants, he can run, but he can't hide. And he's not gonna hide. This thing's gonna be investigated. He just gotta understand you can't. These deathbed conversions, right? It's fine. It's okay. We'll take a surrender. But they're not going to be able to run from their previous crimes and the suppression of what they did to this movement. Right? And we'll do it in a second. Write this, take a number two, Prunson, and write this down. If Hakeem Jeffries raises $2 billion and somehow flips a handful of seats like six seats in the House and takes control and he's speaker of the House in 26 and takes office in 27 on 1-3-27, first order business. Impeaching Donald Trump Every one, not a couple, not one or two, every one of these oligarchs created by the Democrats because all progressive Democrats are going to flip immediately and you're going to get suppressed immediately. It's pretty clear what the business model is. Import as much foreign cheap labor as possible. Not at the same proficiency as Americans, but more compliant. First off, they're 50% cheaper. Number two, they're compliant. They're compliant because they're indentured servants and they're here to get green cards and eventually get family migration. I got it. It's pretty simple. We can connect the dots. So don't tell me what it's not. Don't tell me because it's high skilled labor. It's high skilled because Americans are retards. Is that not what they said? Americans are lazy. We're the mediocre. I think Vivek will. You're the mediocre folks. There's been too many jocks and too many prom queens and not enough. Was it Math Olympiads, dude? I don't know what planet you're on. This is the United States of America. It's built on jock culture. You think the Math Olympiads is what created this great nation out of a vast wilderness? You would be incorrect, sir. Oh, but this is the 21st century. This is where the best. No, no. We've had nerd rule during the pandemic and we're not going back to nerd rule. Okay? Nerd rule is not right. Not set for the world of Homo sapiens. I got it. Hang over a second. Hang over a second. I got it. Transhumanism. We want to go to Homo sapien plus. Okay, I got it. I understand that. Over our dead body. Hate to be so blunt about it, so black and white about it, but you can see what's trying to go on here, right? So you see the surrender and listen, it's going to be a fight. Unlimited money. The acquisition of power is a fight. You've taken charge. This movement, you, this audience backing President Trump have defeated all comers. Every institution. Wall street, the apartheid state of Silicon Valley, the corporatists, the Chinese Communist Party, media, Hollywood, all of it. You took on all comers and guess what? You won. And most importantly, don't bury the lead, Steve. You did it. With an expanding coalition of. Now moving past race, that African Americans, Hispanics are starting to listen and say, you know what? I agree with these folks. I actually like what they say because they're protecting my rights as an American citizen. They're putting Me as an American citizen first, they are looking after me as American citizen. You see some pattern recognition here. You see some pattern recognition. We can expand that coalition. If we execute now, we can expand it like Roosevelt did in 1932 and beyond. That's why he stuck around for four terms. Dave, we got our work cut out for us. The institutions are still coming. We're going to try to get John. Yep. Up here in a moment for the Catholic vote crowd. The traditional Catholics not happy with what's happening here in, in Washington with the announcement of this cardinal. But, Dave, how does this, how does this. You talk about the moral high ground that you have to have, and this is true. This is any time of war, you have to take the moral high ground because your people have to be able to rally around something that's worth giving their all putting in. They have to. We have to fight with righteous indignation. And the way you do that is you take the moral high ground we've done here, then you defeat said enemy unconditionally with no conditions. Unconditional surrender.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yep.
Steve Bannon
And then you fill said smoking crater with your values, your stuff, and you move on. This is why this is unconditional surrender of the oligarchs on Tuesday. Get them up there, get 20 of them up there, Put them up there, put them in a big glass case, maybe mount their heads. This is a metaphor, by the way. So when you try to take us down again, don't put their heads on pikes. Put them, mount them and put their name tags underneath them. Hell, we deserve it. You guys beat them. You were banned. Trump was banned on every platform. This show's still banned on every platform. And. And we love it. And we love it. Have we taken the moral high ground here? On deportations, on all of it, across the board. You're my resident theologian and philosopher, Dave Bratt, philosopher king down in Lynchburg, Virginia. Have we. Once upon a time, you were just some grubby congressman running around looking for money so you could win reelection. Now you're like a moral philosopher. You're like Socrates.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, I like that better. I'm a very fallen Christian, but that's what I strive for, is to lay out the truth because it matters. Tucker Carlson just had a great interview. First of all, on all these oligarchs. We got to bust them up. We got to do the trust busting, go back and break them all up. Tucker interviewed this poor Indian mother who lost her prodigy son working for Sam Altman and OpenAI. That story is going to break Open. So these guys are running the universe, right? This is why it matters, right? This moral lingo. Sam Altman, I highly doubt he's strong in the Judeo Christian tradition. And all of these oligarchs, you're exactly right. They're all gonna flip in four years. Depending on which way the wind's blowing, they'll all flip. So it's incumbent on us, just like Congress, to get them to change their mission statements. Okay, guys, you're really with the populace. Good. Put something in writing that all of your policies are gonna favor the bottom half of the income distribution. Right. You're all designing human capital. High stem, brain drain stuff. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and prove you're Gonna make the 12% literacy rate for poor third graders in Chicago go up. They don't care about people. And that's what I'm getting at. We can win the moral argument easily on everything because we actually love our neighbor as we love ourselves. And then Rachel Maddow is man, she's a master at the moral language. She say, oh, in Chicago, we're gonna round up everybody, and then these right wingers are gonna create camps. Well, you know what camps mean. That's reminiscent of some terrible stuff. Our moral language in response is, Rachel, these illegal. There's 1.5 criminal aliens that just noted that have already been signed to be deported. We have to go get permission from the deep state and from all the countries abroad to return them after they violated our law and after those countries have let them in. So what I'm missing is our congressmen, instead of all giving the cheap labor lingo in moral language, I want them all, every member of the Senate and the Congress to come to the rescue, finally man up and say, these folks have destroyed American families. Every time one of these illegal criminals comes in, takes jobs, you have ruined an American family. That moral argument will win because it's true. It's biblical, it's philosophical. It's the Judeo Christian West. And I don't expect to hear anyone saying anything. That's what's wrong in this country right now.
Steve Bannon
And we're here to set things right. Dave, thank you. You're going to hang with me. I'm trying to get Tasia up. John. Yup. We're going to try to get a lot going on today. Also, my young producer just gave me a. I think a tweet. Gabe Sherman at Vanity Fair has just reported that the executive orders are going to be shown to GOP lawmakers. I Think tomorrow afternoon, obviously with an embargo, but anticipate a lot of leaks will be up on Getter and the social media. Grace will be up on, I think she's on Twitter. We'll be all over to report this has come. But there's going to be, I think, at least 50 that are past OLC. Remember, Office of Legal Counsel has got to give an opinion. I think they're going to have at least 50. At least 50. But they're going to have some bombshells in there. So I think they're going to run it by lawmakers, get everybody on board. Well, they should know. They've been working with lawmakers, a couple of housekeeping. Number one, you saw Rubio could not have been more confrontational about the Chinese Communist Party as Secretary of State. Now, President Trump did put out a little while ago, or maybe it was last night that he had a conversation with Xi and they're going to work together. There's all types of things they're going to be working on and that's what President Trump's supposed to do. He's. He's out trying to be a peacemaker. It's peace and prosperity, the sunlit uplands of a new golden age under President Trump. But gotta cover, you gotta hedge. Always got a hedge. Chinese Communist Party still has the complete supply chain in medical, 100%. Nothing has changed from the pandemic as much as Peter Navarro and others worked on it. Nothing changed. And Biden just made it worse. So make sure you go to jacemedical.com, put in Bannon, get a discount, Check it all out. I would get ahead of things. I think we're going through times of turbulence. President Trump's going to set things right, but we're going to have a couple of air pockets, speed bumps. How do you want to say it? Ministry of State and our foreign enemies. Let me say it a different way. All enemies, foreign and domestic. Yes. President Trump takes an oath to heaven, to Almighty God, that we enforce the Constitution and we're gonna have his back in that. And some days we're gonna have sunny days, and some days we're gonna have cloudy days, folks. But you know what? One thing I can tell you with absolute certitude, you are not Sunshine Patriots.

Steve Bannon
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. During the, during the revolution, right? And where we are and you can go back to every patriot grave of what those folks that gave the ultimate sacrifice for this republic, what they fought for, what they were dying for and this, the whole concept came up even at the time with Thomas Paine and remember Payne and those guys were, I would say towards the war room end of the revolution, they said, hey, we can't continue to be part of this. That this is an oligarchy in Great Britain. And what had happened is that the Crown had corrupted Commons. Remember they had the House of Commons actually had a representative democracy, but Commons was so corrupt because they'd been bought off by essentially the donor class. And the Crown had been giving out monopolistic power to people like the British East India Company. That was these massive monopolies. They gave all these rights to business and commercial rights because they were taking 20% off the top. It's the way the Crown and the worthless landed aristocracy financed themselves. It always gets back to money and power now. It's a spiritual war. There was a huge spiritual element in the revolution, as Dave Bratz says, but it manifests itself. It gets down into fights in Paine and these guys said we can't continue on like this. This is the beginning of an empire. We got that and we're at the ground floor of this empire. They're over in India, here in North America. We got that. And it'll be a good deal for everybody here presently, but for our progeny in generations to come, it's the wrong thing to do. So we're going to fight and we're going to fight now. And you had people that wanted to compromise. You had people that said, oh, well, you know, maybe we just get along maybe. And you had to have these firebrands that said consistently, people like John Adams, people like Sam Adams, people like John Hancock, people like Thomas Paine. Now, if you think about it also, and this is just the way history progresses, particularly in fourth turnings, the people that came up and were big in the Revolution, a lot of those were not there for the Constitution and the framing of the Constitution and then right afterwards. And you always had this tension between people in the revolutionary generation, the radicals and people want to come in and do something different. Remember the whole Federalist part of it, the whole actually with General Washington having fought what, you know, Hamilton and to a large extent John Adams, they want a centralized power, a government with a central bank and centralized power to build a manufacturer. And that was tension. And that was tension. And that tension was finally broken when Massachusetts and Virginia, the two commonwealths that kind of drove the deal, the last of their presidents, and then, you know, John Quincy Adams kind of stealing one from General Jackson for the next. Jacksonian populism kind of took it all the way through until it was in the early 19th, early 20th century. We had a populist reaction under General Jackson, who was a hero beyond heroes because he had defeated the British. The revolution did not end until what, January 6th of 1815, when he defeated Wellington's army, who had already beaten Napoleon's army in Spain and in Portugal. He sent his brother in law and his top three generals to New Orleans to take down the. Take New Orleans, take the Mississippi, roll up the American Revolution to end the War of 1812, and guess what? On a battlefield, they were destroyed. The only time in British history three major generals were killed in combat. And Jackson became a hero beyond all heroes. But this tension of people always, hey, we got to compromise, we got to do this. We have to kowtow to the money. It's throughout American history. This is new and it's not going to go away as long as man is imperfect. And we're quite imperfect. Dave. Brad, if I read Genesis correctly and I read the Old Testament, I'm no biblical scholar. I can kind of get it. You know, I'm just a Catholic. I kind of, you know, the nuns teach it a certain way, you understand it. It's kind of basic, but we're quite imperfect. At least that's what I'm taught. So it's not going to change. There's going to be continual struggle. We're never going to get to an ultimate victory here because, hey, we're on Earth, right?
Stephen K. Bannon
Yep.
Steve Bannon
So, Brad, but Thomas Paine and these guys warned us about this. This is not coming out of nowhere. They warned us about being Sunshine Patriots. There's all kind of guys that want to come to D.C. today and celebrate and God bless it or this weekend. And the crypto guys had a big ball last night and they're sitting, sitting there in black tie and they got Snoop Dogg and they're doing it. They got a big party because Crypto Bros. I got that. And some of them have been with us for a long time. Some of them just the new arrivals, just converts. You're going to have a whole lot of people running around. New York Times got Curtis Yarvin in there, got a big. He's a big time intellectual. The dark enlightenment, saying, democracy's over. All that. You're going to have all that. That's just. It's just going to roll and you're going to have Sunshine Patriots people. We love Trump. We love Trump. Didn't you see it from the first term? Didn't you say, where were they in January, 2021? Where are they in February? Where were they in March? Where are they in April? You were there. We got this. Don't worry about it. We got this. I didn't say it was going to be easy. I didn't say the implementation could be easy. We never promised you a summer's day. Right. It's going to be tough. That's why you're battle hardened. Why do you think people fear the war room posse? You can't be. You are relentless. You're resilient. You're going to take a punch, you may get scuffed up, we're not going to win them all. You win the super bowl, only one team's been undefeated, right? College football anymore. No undefeated teams. You're going to lose a couple. We may lose a couple in a row. There may be some days looks like we're losing overall. Are we going to lose? The answer is absolutely not. You know why? Because we can't be defeated. One thing about losing a battle, another thing about losing a skirmish, another thing about losing. It doesn't mean you're losing battles. You're not defeated. We're undefeated. We cannot be defeated as long as you tell yourself I'm not defeated. What did Paine say about Sunshine Soldiers, sir?
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, well, I don't think you're Doing Too bad on the theology there, Stephen K. Bannon. I give you an A plus for framing things properly. All political.
Steve Bannon
Is that coming from? Hang on. Liberty Baptist, a Southern Baptist university, You're saying that about just a wild Mick Catholic? Don't let that word get out.
Stephen K. Bannon
That's what I'm saying. Yes. I got this guy named Abraham Kuyper, and there's what you call sphere sovereignty. And in your sphere, you're an A plus, so keep it up. But let me get back to a couple footnotes. All these oligarchs. There's a bunch of oligarchs who own the Monroe home in Virginia and the Madison home in Monticello, and they're all going around spending their vast sums of billions trying to prove that Christianity had nothing to do with the founding of this country, when, in fact and in truth, every member of those founding documents and the Patriots were all Christian, all of them from George Washington right on through. So we got to get that back to our kids. James Madison, for example, went to Princeton Seminary, where I went. He was the first guy that stuck around, got his master's degree in Hebrew. There's your Genesis 2 and 3 in the fall. And if that's your logic, you might want to separate powers into government. And that's why he's a genius. Back to Paine. And, boy, you couldn't have better words. These, right now, these days, these are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country. But he that stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. And in particular, I'm going to point out one true patriot, Stephen K. Bannon, who was yelling in a microphone four years ago. I wasn't sure who he was yelling at. And now he's got the second biggest podcast full of patriots in the country. So keep it up.
Steve Bannon
Stop. It's the audience. Hey, listen, here's the thing, folks. What Payne said. The only thing I disagree with. Don't think anybody's gonna pat you on the head if you're doing this for people, say how great we are and everything like that. That's not gonna happen. We don't want it, and more importantly, we don't need it. We know we have to do for this country. We know we have to do for this republic. Did I mention we were relentless? The greatest comeback in the history of all politics, all politics was what happened when President Trump was exiled to Mar A Lago and made a conscious decision always Remember, he made a conscious decision, knowing everything that was in front of him, a conscious decision to return to this political battle, knowing they're going to try to put him in prison, knowing they're going to try to bankrupt him, they're going to try to destroy his family. He made a conscious decision that is called moral courage. That gets back to Dave Bratt taking the moral high ground. And all these people around, all these people that tried to defeat him, whether it's up in New York City in the court, whether it's Jack Smith, whether it's in Florida, whether it's the bankruptcies, whether it's the $500 million thing against his company, all of it, the oligarchs keeping him off. Right. Banning him from all social media. Fox News for the first 18 months, almost two years of 21 and 22, never covering him live, being very dismissive on their coverage. Let's be blunt. The coverage of President Trump's announcement on November 15th of 2022, Fox tried, basically embarrassed him. Basically cut away. Always remember this. They cut away from the live announcement. He's still talking. And sometimes Trump's going to go off strip. Sometimes Trump's going to kind of, you know, do what he wants to do. It may take longer than 20 minutes. They cut away from it because they were all in for Desantis and they were all in for Nikki Haley. They're all in for the Wall Street Journal. Did I mention the Murdochs put out a gun deck poll today that they want Maga Lite? No, what they want, what the Wall Street Journal wants, is old Republican policies. And that's what they offered up in this poll. Oh, but you can deport a few more because they understand it's a crisis. We're not doing Maga Lite. We're going to do maga. Heavy. President Trump's coming in heavy. And there's going to be resistance and there's going to maybe be compromise. I don't know. We'll see. But Dave Brat lays out the moral case. You don't need it. You are an army of the awakened and you are righteous. And our cause is righteous. And that's why we can't be defeated. We can't be defeated because we're relentless. You will not. If you can't, if you're not going to surrender, you can't be defeated. We're not going to, not going to back down. You're going to double down. You're not going to retreat. You're going to advance. We're not going to surrender. We're going to win. Let that be your mantra. The days ahead of us, the days of thunder. It's going to be tough. There's going to be some shooting on our side of the football sideways, but that's okay. Not the end of the world, just another fight. That's where your battle hardened. That's where people fear you. That's when you get up and back. These candidates last week, these cabinet officials. People listen. People listen because they understand that you will sacrifice to do this. Short break.
Dave Brat

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Math. Okay, Tick Tock is obviously consuming a lot of time and focus on people over the weekend. Let me say this. You know the Chinese Communist Party, the issue here is the Chinese ownership of this. And you just have to have faith in President Trump. He's going to figure out some deal, I think to keep this going because it has been a tool for small business. That's good. I think on cultural side it's been awful and I think the restrictions that the Chinese put in for their own people have to be put in there because it's a very powerful instrument, very powerful. Maybe too powerful for the human mind. I don't know. I'm not an expert. Here's what I do know. President Trump is going to work out a deal and we just have to takeyou know, take time. It's been banned today. Supreme Court kicks in. I think President Trump will give it some sort of stay of execution. Should we say for tomorrow? I don't know. But just knowing how President Trump thinks, and I think he'll figure out a deal to get it under American ownership. And the ownership has to be even the algorithm, but they'll fight that out. That's all. That's all what deals are. President Trump's pretty good about making deals, right? He knows, understands transactions, understands how to have win win. Should I say that? That's the Chinese Communist Party saying, but President Trump will get this sorted. So the folks on Twitter or TikTok, I wouldn't have a full meltdown. President Trump's quite supportive of keeping it going. He's not supportive as he has been of this thing as in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party, which is not good. Can't get my clock there. Thanks. I have to know where I am, otherwise I will wander. John? Yep. John Yep. We have. We've sent a notice out of the. Let me take it another way. Of the 50 executive orders are gonna be first out of the box on Monday afternoon. A lot of those are dealing with unwinding what Biden did to unwind the goodness that Trump did on day one. There are gonna be new executive orders. And you've got Homan, who's been empowered as the czar, and in Miller right in back of him and President Trump, they've already put on notice. I still can't figure out if that was a leak from the Trump guys or a leak from. From the administrative state. Might have been a little of both. But anyway, we know now from the Wall Street Journal that there is planned to be a big raid in Chicago to have a throwdown with the mayor to start taking criminal, illegal, criminal aliens and putting them, getting them out of here, send them home to wherever that is, not the United States of America. In all of this. Rachel Matta tells us last night what they're going to do. They're going to have the cameras down there and, you know, Trump's setting up camps and Trump's doing this. They're trying to take the moral high ground in the middle of this fight, when you've got these religious organizations, you know, I'm a Catholic. John Yep's. A Catholic. You've got these religious organizations, whether it's the Lutheran Church, they got this Jewish group. But most importantly, you've got Catholic Charities, which have been terrible in this. And I've called the bishops out now for years. Dolan and I got into it when I was President Trump's chief strategist, to tell them, hey, I got the Catholic Church's business model here. They can't fill the pews, they can't fill the churches with traditional normal Catholics because of all the scandals that happen and all the how progressive they've gotten. So they fill them up with illegal aliens. Okay. I'm not making a value judgment about the Catholics that happen to come here illegally. I'm not. It's not their fault. They're essentially invited here by the business interest in the government. But now we've got the, we've got. The current occupant of the chair of St. Peter has decreed that he's appointed, I don't know, the most in your face cardinal out there for open borders and for anti deportation. Should we should assume the Catholic Church or the radical part of the Catholic Church, the liberal part of the Catholic Church, having been a main part of the auxiliary forces that allowed this and exacerbated this invasion because that's the brutal truth, is now going to try to take the moral high ground by saying President Trump is a bad guy and the people around him are bad guys. They're nativists, they're racist, they're xenophobes. Need I go on, John? Yep. What's the counter to that?
John Yep
I'm so glad you went right there. To all the non Catholics watching out this piece, apologies, it is a grave scandal. Catholics for Catholics, the group that we run, the number one feedback we get from across the country is love what you guys are doing, but what the heck is up with your Catholic charities? And let me tell you, you're right, Steve. His Holiness Pope Francis named Cardinal McElroy to the see of Washington D.C. perhaps the most important see in the nation to be bishop of where it really, you know, it influences the federal policy in a way that no other place does. And let me just shell that moral high ground that they are trying to take here with artillery shells. Cardinal Robert McElroy, let's start with the basics. You have covered up for a number of sexual predators. Rachel Mastro Giacomo, who wrote a letter to the papal noon sale on September 30, 2024 prior to your nomination, forming Pope Francis that you covered up. We know that. The rest of the world knows that and we're not, not letting that go. So you dare to come at us on your first press conference after being named the archbishop of D.C. and you're going to say that mass deportations is incompatible with Catholic teaching? I think not. You know, what's incompatible is hypocrisy. And we the Catholic people, that's 58% of those voted for MAGA and Trump. We're not letting you go on this one. And Steve, you mentioned Chicago Archdiocese of Chicago. Let the battle begin there. You know, it was cupich and Theodore McCarrick who named McRoy to be Bishop as well. And don't forget, mind you, the archdiocese also is the one that was cutting paychecks to President Barack Obama way back when and got him started.
Steve Bannon
Amen.
John Yep
So we know it's going to start there. But Catholic and the teaching.
Steve Bannon
Give me the, Give me the second. Hang on. Give me, give me the second name. You mentioned the name after Zupich. Because this is the guy that force demanded he come see Trump in the first as the official representation. He wasn't. Who was the cardinal? Who was the cardinal at the time?
John Yep
Theodore McCarrick is the one that named Cardinal McRoy to be a bishop. He's the one that orchestrated that. How do we know that? Because McElroy admitted that. And let me go to a geopolitical saying here, okay? This isn't just some squabble among Catholics. Cardinal McCarrick is the one that orchestrated the Vatican China Accord, which not only sold out the Catholic Church in China, but used the power of the Catholic Church to cooperate with the ccp. We will not forget that. And we stand here and we're going to fight for our country and for our faith in this regard.
Steve Bannon
Yep. Here's the problem with it. And I went to Rome at the time. There was that pedophile conference. And a bigger deal was the announcement of the secret deal with the Chinese Communist Party. Essentially turned the Catholic Church, the underground Catholic church was one of the most robust, vibrant parts of the Catholic Church in the world over to the Chinese Communist Party. And McCarrick, who's no longer a cardinal. McCarrick is. Mr. McCarrick. Why has he been laicized? Why was he laicized in an out of some old person's home out in Nebraska somewhere? Why did that happen, John? Yep.
John Yep
Getting paid by Catholic funds. Still, mind you, it's because he abused hundreds and hundreds of seminarians. Okay. That's the, that's just the, you know, that's one thing, but what he did also.
Steve Bannon
Let's, let's, let's get, let's get it on the table. He's sexually abused. He's a sexual predator. He's an insane criminal sexual predator of young men. Is he not, sir?
John Yep
That is absolutely correct. Okay. And I've seen the worst of Mother Church. And you may be thinking, why is Stephen John, still Catholic Look, I get it, as you mentioned earlier, Steve, for these are the times that try men's souls. These are the time to try Catholic souls. But we will not shrink from the service of our church and our country in this moment of crisis, because it is a scandal and we apologize.
Steve Bannon
This is the power. Yep. Yep. And it had the folks out there at Chavez Ravain, right, Standing down the drag queen for the story, out in front of Dodgers and dressed as nuns. Are you kidding me? And by the way, how many people showed up? 10. Yep. We'll get in the streets and bring people in the streets. And let's be brutally frank. McElroy is a creation of McCarrick, and McCarrick is a devil. I'm not saying this. Courts of law said this. Even the Catholic Church, eventually, all his buddies. He was the most. He was the Pope of America, and McCarrick is the guy in back of that deal with the Chinese Communist Party. Now, far be it from me to say that there's any connection or Blackmail potential about McCarrick's issues. Do you think the Chinese Communist Party intelligence services might have known something about McKirk? You think you know, they're only one of the best in the world. Do you think there was anything known about McCarrick by the Chinese? The way they play, those brothers roll hard. They play smash mouth. We've signed a deal to sell out Catholic Lao Beijing in China by McCarrick. McElroy is going to be here in Trump's face next week, all high and mighty, taking the moral high ground. He is a creation of McCarrick. Do I see some pattern recognition here? This thing's corrupt and it's got to be broken apart. We cannot go on like this. And the part of the church has to be confronted. And where you confront it, the angle of attack is in Catholic Charities. And let me say this again. There must be a massive investigation in front of the American people with all the evidence out there of exactly how the country was invaded by 12 or 15 million. Good God in heaven. Do you think the people died at Guadalcanal and the people died at Pearl harbor and the people died at Normandy? What would they say? They gave their lives for this country overseas to defend it? What would they say? That you allowed 15 million illegal alien invaders to invade our country and you're just going to sit there and take it and understand that the Catholic Church's charity was part of it and the Lutheran Church charity was part of it and this Jewish organization was part of it? You think President Trump is going to give a speech on Monday about unity and bringing the American people together. And God bless him, he's President of the United States and all the citizens of the United States, and he has a duty and an obligation to do that. But this thing, this fight is going to get nasty, and it's going to get nasty quick, quickly, and it's going to determine whether we're going to see this thing through, whether we're going to see this thing through to its ultimate conclusion. They all got to go. An investigation has to happen of how it happened, who did it, who benefited from it, who was in back of it, and the current occupant of The Sea of St. Peter better understand. You guys are up to your neck in it. John. Yep. I'll let you have the closing comments on this since you've triggered me, sir.
John Yep
I'm so grateful that you're bringing this to attention, Steve. You know, I wish some of these bishops, whatever happened in that prison cell there in Connecticut, I mean, you had a spiritual experience. I'd love that. Maybe they could do a retreat there. Right. Because you came out just a different, totally renewed warrior. Right. For the cause. And look, people will ask, how did we get here? In essence, the Catholic Church, we've sold our charity, Our Birthright, and we become a government ngo. We're actually producing a book later this month specifically on that, outlining how we've become an NGO of the federal government. And that can't be. We need to free the church so she can be faithful to the mission that she was get destined by Christ to do. And Cardinal McElroy, we will not let you off the hook. Tom Homan, a good Catholic man and a dear friend, a man who clutches the rosary. Like many of us Catholics who pray for President Trump every single day, we have his back. And we are going to support those people who came here lawfully and legally, like my dear wife and her family from Ireland. Thank you again, Steve.
Steve Bannon
Yep. Where do people go and find you all the great work you're doing? Catholics for Catholic, Catholics for Catholics.
John Yep

Jim Rickards
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.com that's rickardswarroom.com now to see the video.

Hey War Room. Hope you're all doing well. My name is Trevor Comstock, I'm one of the co creators of Sacred Human and I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand. For those who may not know of us yet, but about six months ago we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense. So unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like preservatives, artificial ingredients and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health. So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements and of course the beef liver being our flagship products. For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc, CoQ10, etc. And because it is 100% grass fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking out any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general. So we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com and cheers to your health.

The episode opens with a reference to an upcoming segment featuring an interview between Steve Bannon and Jonathan Karl, highlighting the attendance of high-profile figures like Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg at President Trump’s inauguration. Bannon interprets this attendance as a significant victory for Trump, symbolizing the collapse and surrender of the oligarch class.
Steve Bannon [00:15]: "President Trump broke the oligarchs. He broke them and they surrendered."
Bannon draws an analogy to the surrender of the Imperial Japanese forces aboard the USS Missouri in 1945, suggesting that Trump’s influence has similarly subdued the modern oligarchs.

Bannon criticizes the control these elites have over the economy and politics, highlighting issues such as overseas job outsourcing and the use of slave labor, framing these entities as antithetical to a free-market system.
Timestamp: [04:09 - 09:02]
The discussion shifts to the role of media in shaping public perception. Bannon accuses mainstream media outlets of deceit and manipulation, advocating for alternative "MAGA Media" as platforms where the truth can be disseminated free from governmental and oligarchic constraints.
Steve Bannon [06:00]: "These guys are running the universe, right? This is why it matters."
Bannon underscores the importance of controlling the narrative through independent media channels to combat what he perceives as biased reporting and misinformation orchestrated by the elites.

Steve Bannon [37:14]: "They're sexually abused. He's a sexual predator."
John Yep counters by highlighting the moral failures within the Church, particularly focusing on Cardinal McElroy's appointments and the Church's alleged complicity with the Chinese Communist Party.

The conversation underscores a tension between religious institutions and nationalist sentiments, portraying the Church as undermining American sovereignty through its humanitarian efforts.

Steve Bannon [24:46]: "This is a spiritual war."
He reflects on the foundational battles for American sovereignty, suggesting that the present conflict mirrors the revolutionary efforts to break free from oppressive control, positioning President Trump as a modern-day Douglas MacArthur leading this fight.
Timestamp: [09:02 - 22:56]
The dialogue progresses to strategic discussions about expanding political coalitions beyond traditional racial lines, aiming to unite African Americans and Hispanics under the MAGA movement by emphasizing patriotic and economic concerns.
Steve Bannon [10:02]: "We can expand that coalition like Roosevelt did in 1932 and beyond."
Bannon and Brat discuss the necessity of maintaining moral high ground to galvanize supporters, stressing the importance of unyielding commitment to their cause despite potential setbacks.

He emphasizes resilience and determination as key attributes of the movement, asserting that their unwavering stance will ultimately overcome entrenched opposition.
Timestamp: [43:29 - End]
In his closing remarks, Bannon reaffirms the movement's commitment to their cause, acknowledging the challenges ahead but expressing confidence in their ability to effect change.
Steve Bannon [52:54]: "We cannot go on like this... We’re not going to back down. We're going to advance."
He underscores the necessity of unity and relentless effort to preserve American sovereignty and values, concluding the episode with a call to action for listeners to remain steadfast in their support.
