Rachel Maddow (5:23)

What is important here is that this one quite bananas. Prosecutor's office, for the moment. They have been stopped from doing the one thing that they were trying to get away with. That really does afford the possibility of Trump just opening the floodgates against Democrats, protesters, journalists, government officials, potentially judges. They have finally been stopped, at least for the moment, from doing something that I think if they were able to do this might reasonably result In a lot of people actually fleeing this country in very short order.

Stephen K. Bannon (6:09)

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. Putin's not got a free shot. 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.

Brian Glenn (6:31)

And where do people like that go.

Stephen K. Bannon (6:32)

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.

Steve Bannon (6:51)

War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Ban.

Stephen K. Bannon (7:00)

It's Thursday the 20th of March, year for the Lord, 2025 a another historic day. Days of thunder and flood the zone. This one very historic. What conservatives, Republicans have talked about since Ronald Reagan will take place later this afternoon at the White House. That is the eradication of the Department of Education. We're going to go momentarily to Brian Glenn. We've also got Eli Crane is going to join us. Massive news out of London this morning about the Ukraine situation on Looks like no American security guarantee even going to be considered. Ben Harnwell from Rome will be here. Dr. Carol Swain about Doe, all of it. And we're going to go to Wisconsin. So this thing, we're a pack today. Just want to make sure the war room posse understands something. Of all the years we've been at this in fighting and even in the darkest days of the comeback of President Trump after they stole the election, this is we're in now for the hardest fight. And that's why I wanted to tee up what you're seeing on MSNBC and somewhat on cnn, but the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, msnbc, that is what Democratic activists and people that follow politics, the Democratic Party are being saturated with constantly. You just got a four minute snippet. But the stakes are so high. I wanted to make sure people understood at the end. Rachel Maddow said people are seriously thinking about fleeing the country. That would be them. As I've said before, there can be no compromise here. One side's going to win and one side's going to lose. This is we always try structure this around or frame it around ideas because ideas have consequences. The unitary executive theory that the president of the United States in the office of president doesn't matter if It's Donald Trump or not has sole authority over the executive branch. And this fight now is not really with Congress, which back when Bush and these guys tried to do a worded down version, it was this is about judicial supremacy. This is about whether the courts are a co equal branch or whether the courts are supreme. Because right now the Democrats having nothing, no political traction, we're trying to use the courts to shut down President Trump across the board. This is how little the Democrats have. They're having a cosplay populace. They hold reports. Today as we've been talking about, AOC and Bernie Sanders are going around the country to essentially college campuses where they will cosplay populist, having abandoned populism for years, never talked about it, never touched it during the Biden years when they had power. Now they're going to cosplay, they're going to pretend, pretend populism because they understand populism is the future and they understand Trump heads a populist movement that just had a sweeping victory, is now in the process of doing a 1932 type realignment. They're using the courts and this is war. It's political warfare. And it's actually as we had Alex Jones on yesterday, getting quite violent from the Democrats or they're burning Tesla dealerships, are intimidating, doxing and intimidating Tesla owners, or whether they're doing swatting and trying to have assassination by copying of leading figures in right wing media. Want to start? Let's go. The White House historic day. Brian Glenn. Brian Glenn, walk us through the logistics. This afternoon the President United States will sign an executive order that will eliminate, begin the pro. It will eliminate and begin the process of shutting down the Department of Education. Walk us through it, brother.

Brian Glenn (10:56)

Yeah. Good morning. That will take place today at 3:30 in the Oval Office and scheduled at 4pm in the East Room, Steve, is what's been described as an educational event, I would imagine very much the imaging like we saw back when President Trump signed that EO to keep men out of women's sports. I envision, and this is just my speculation based upon the information I have, you'll have parents, teachers, kids gathered for this event because as you just laid out in your open here, this is a highly controversial but much needed action by the President who has promised on the campaign trail to do away with the Department of Education which by the way oversees over 50 million students, 98,000 public schools and just thousands of districts around the country. And as it was implemented under Jimmy Carter back in 1979, 1980 when it got in place. We have seen test scores dive in. The rest of the country surpass the United States in terms of education. And, and we are the most developed country in the world. We should have the best students, the best schools. And that has not been the case. But this will now kick down Steve, to a local state level where they can make the decisions there.

Stephen K. Bannon (12:10)

Yeah, this is the reason. You know it's the populace versus the credentialed class. The Democratic party has lost their mooring. They're all the credentialed class. AOC and Bernie Sanders are going around essentially college campuses. Well it's Tempe, Arizona to say they're going to college campuses. This is more credentialed class. The Department of Education, correct me if I'm wrong, I think it's 272 billion doll dollars its budget. It's. It's a pass through to finance to finance the credentialed class in these bogus degrees in college. It's a financing vehicle. It's getting zeroed out. Almost does nothing on K through 12. This is why we got to get any money in there and send it back to the states to get to K through 12 and cut out the credential class. The reason you have so many deadbeats that won't pay their college loans back is one of the reasons you've got Department of Education that continues to lift up these woke universities. The universities are absolutely right. We have to take the fight to. That's why this Department of Education and this is why every Republican has blinked on this. Brian, what's your social media throughout the day we're going to be checking in. Brian Glenn will be in the east room at 4 o'clock and potentially hopefully the President opens up the signing. Our own Brian Glenn will be there asking the great questions he always asks. Brian, what is your social media on this historic day at the White House?

Brian Glenn (13:29)

Yeah, you can follow me at Brian Glenn TV on X& on Facebook and Instagram at Brian on Truth Social I will add we are the official secondary pull camera for today. So we'll have all the upfront action and questions that I know the war room posse expects to hear from me. God bless you guys. Historical day here at the White House.

Stephen K. Bannon (13:52)

The reason with that is because the hustle of Parker Sig and the real America's Voice team and the great presence of Brian Glenn who is working his tail off over the White House and of course our own Natalie Winters. What a combo. They've already caused a big, a big ripple in the water over there, Brian Glenn working nonstop. He's hustling, he's diving for loose basketballs. This is the way you become a player. This is the way we got off the bench. Brian Glenn diving for balls. Natalie Winters lighting them up. And our crew's always available this afternoon. Today, historic day as President Trump takes on the administrative state, the one way to start dismantling it is cut out the credentialed class. All these dead beats with phony degrees. Big day in the White House. Eli Crane, the Clint Eastwood, the man, man with no name, the man with few words but they're powerful words in the war room.

They created their party, created the billionaires, the oligarchs. They're financed by the billionaires. New York Times is has been doing investigate reports about us going after these billionaires, the Mike Davises of the world, the Natalie winners, the activists going after Arabella and others, these bayonet groups on the left. And on Friday essentially Arizona State, I think it's a high school near in Tempe and then on Saturday in Tucson at Catalina, I think Catalina High, they're going to university towns. They can only generate interest in the credential set. Guess what? Hey, tell those folks when they're there they're getting zeroed out they gotta go get a job like working class people. Nine million working class people have two jobs now, according to latest. Think Labor Department statistics. Yes, this is about going after and dismantling the credentialed class. It's ruled over working class people and the production, the productive people in this country for too long. And today the Department of Education 200 think a budget of $272 billion. The vast majority, I think it's 80%, flows through to essentially finance the universities. Remember, the university thing is a whole scam, it's a whole con. If you want to know why working class kids can't get into the engineering schools and computer schools, because the foreign students come over here and their governments pay full freight and they don't want to take your money because you're paying state tuition. These are at land grant universities and state universities. The other is the federal government just given tons of billions, tens of billions of dollars every year to finance this crap. Cut it out, zero it out. Let's see how tough they are then. Remember, the left doesn't want to pay for anything. This is USAID. This is the $20 billion. Rachel Maddows @ the beginning of the show pulling her hair because of $20 billion. The Citicorp the EPA caught, it's all taking your hard earned tax dollars to give it to organizations that hate you and try to destroy your game's over. This ain't. Trump's a dictator. No, he's not. But as the President of the United States and the office of the President of the United States, he has sole authority over the executive branch, full stop. I may have to play the scene from Lincoln again when Lincoln's banging on the table, when they're sitting there going, oh, we got to get this amendment. We need to give all these post offices away. You need to get all these corrupt congressmen. He finally bangs the table, says, hey, I'm President of the United States. I'm endowed with virtually unlimited power as president in the executive role, as chief executive officer, the money and the people, as commander in chief. And you see this judge, which needs to be impeached, trying to get in the middle of sending back terrorist groups, terrorist criminal groups. And he's chief magistrate. That's why he can go to the Department of Justice. And it doesn't have to be a meltdown. He's chief magistrate and chief law enforcement officer of the US Government, full stop. That's what this fight's about. Eli Crane joins us. Eli, you're a man of few words, but A lot of actions. When you take an action, people pay attention because you're not, you are the least self promotional person I've met in Washington many weeks ago, six weeks ago, you talked to me about this. A couple of months ago, you were so far ahead of this, I think you put in articles of impeachment early on. How did you foresee where this fight was when some of your colleagues were kind of looking the other way and didn't want to address what's happening now? And it's only going to get worse because now this is a judicial coup. This is a judicial coup d'etat is what is happening. And that's why it has to be fought to the bitter end. Eli Crane, Congressman, Arizona, your thoughts?

Steve Bannon (20:05)

Well, thanks, Steve, for having me on. I am a sitting member of Congress, but never forget, I'm also a member of the war Room posse. Right. Steve, you've done a great job over the last years of beating into our heads how important action, action, action is. And so I asked myself each and every day, what can I be doing with the position that God has put me in to try and help save this country and help President Trump actually carry out his agenda that the American people, you know, voted him in with the electoral vote, the popular vote. And, you know, so one of the things that we saw early on was they, the Democrats didn't control the House, they didn't control the Senate, they did not control the executive. And so what were they gonna do? It was really easy to identify the play call. The play call was to use these radical left wing judges to try and stop the Trump administration. And so we have Article 1 powers of impeachment. And so I said, hey, let's throw down, let's send a shot across their bow. Let's put these judges on notice that they can be impeached if they overstep their authority and try and stop the president from exercising his constitutional authorities. And so it was really simple, Steve. And I'm glad that other members of the House like Andrew Clyde from Georgia, Ogles out of Tennessee, Brandon Gill, a freshman from Texas, they've all got on the same train and they've dropped articles of impeachment as well, you know, And Steve, you've had some great guests on this week as I've been listening to your show, better men than Myself, talking about, you know, all the tools we have in the toolbox and other representatives that are, you know, looking at other ways to tackle this problem, whether it's, you know, Mike Lee looking at making it three Judges that have to decide on this, or Darrell ISS Bill. That would prevent, you know, some of these radical groups from shopping around for different judges that might be, you know, willing to, you know, take these things up. I don't care at the end of the day which, which way we do this, Steve. But the bottom line is, and you've talked about it for a couple weeks now, this will not stop until we actually take action and show these judges that they are not more powerful than the President of the United States.

Stephen K. Bannon (22:33)

This gets down to this, that ideas have consequences. This is something the country's fallen into for many decades. And one of the reasons, I think, is because the town's run by lawyers. And that's why I'm so proud of President Trump and his administration going after these law firms. This is about judicial supremacy. Do you believe? I realize you guys are back in your districts doing district work this week, but when you get back to D.C. next week, do you think your colleagues are as fired up, particularly some of the guys you named or some of the famous of the war room, But I noticed no leadership names. Do you think leadership understands what the base is talking about and what President Trump's talking about? And they want to see action. They don't want to have more happy talk that this is something that needs to be addressed and needs to be addressed now, sir, you know, I wouldn't.

Steve Bannon (23:21)

Say that they're as fired up, but I definitely do know that they understand how big of a problem this is in enacting the agenda that President Trump promised the American people. I actually talked to Speaker Mike Johnson yesterday about what his plan was, and he was, you know, he definitely understood that this was a big problem. And he, you know, he was talking with several individuals. Chip Roy, who's been on the show many times, you know, was one of them. I know Chairman Jordan was one of them as well. And so I will tell you, Steve, one thing he did tell me was that, you know, he was, you know, he knew that we didn't have the votes in the House at this point to, to carry out impeachment. He told me that there were several handfuls of people who already reached out to him saying that they wouldn't support these articles of impeachment. And so no happy talk. But that's where we stand.

Stephen K. Bannon (24:16)

That there are several, there's several groups or he's several bunches out there in the conference that do not support articles impeachment as we stand today, Is that what you're saying?

Steve Bannon (24:27)

Yes, sir. That's exactly What I'm saying.

Stephen K. Bannon (24:32)

What, what do you think needs to be done? The President's called for it. Do you think the President has to address this more with House leadership? Do you think he needs to make a more compelling case? Do you think the worm needs to do more work? I mean, as you sit there and you probably know who the more reserved folks in the conference are, what would be your recommendation to nudge them along either with information, with contact with the President, with, you know, the Mike Davis Article 3. What do you believe Eli will take to get people's attention on this?

Steve Bannon (25:06)

Well, Steve, we've got to turn up the heat. You know, this is one of those times where we can use their political weakness against them. And when I say them, I mean the political establishment. These guys don't like, they don't like to get blown up. They don't like to get put in tough situations. And so whether it's, you know, Mike Davis at Article 3, the War Room, you know, the war room posse, you know, and just the base that supported President Trump and gave him this historic victory, we have to turn up the heat on these individuals so that they understand. We don't have a lot of time, Steve, you know that we don't have a lot of time to save this country. And you talk about it all the time to delay is to deny. And that's exactly what they're trying to do. And if we're to carry out President Trump's agenda and save this country, and he's done an amazing job in the couple months that he's been in office, but if we don't support him in the House and in the Senate, it's all going to be for nothing. And we're just basically putting a four year stay of execution over this country because we know the left isn't going away. We know that they're just as radical and unhinged as they've ever been, probably more so now than before. And so we have to continue to turn up the pressure. And for me, when I look at all of these tools that we have in the toolbox, I'm one of the guys that says, hey, I'll take all of the above because this is so important.

Stephen K. Bannon (26:34)

Real quick, I want to hold you through the break, if that's not a problem. And the question I've got when we come back to the break, and I have been Harnwell with BBC's Breaking News out of London about these security forces that I want to get your take on. But I also want to hear when we get back, I consider your district one of the bellwether, bellwether districts of the MAGA base. You come from one of the best districts in the country of, I think, really giving you, as you know, you've always, I think, gotten great guidance and profound guidance from working class folks in your district. And I want to hear what they have to say about President Trump's job and also this fight. Folks, we're engaged in this like never before. What Eli just said right there, to delay is to deny. They're going to try to tap this along more court filings last night. Eli's 100% correct. Look at the phony populous roadshow. AOC and Bernie Sanders. You couldn't get two bigger clowns, right, who did nothing when they had power. Did nothing. Nothing. Populous rolled in and helped bolster the oligarchs. And now, understanding that there's a populist revolt in this country, they're trying to tap dance at college campuses essentially while they use a Marxist judiciary to come after President Trump. That's the fight. And one aspect of that is up in Wisconsin, which we're going to get to in the 11 o'clock hour. Eli Crane's our guest, Ben Harnwell. From Rome, Dr. Carol Swain. On a historic day, the Department of Education, the financing arm of the credentialed class, zeroed out. What if he had the brightest mind in the war room delivering critical financial research every month? Steve Bannon here. War Room listeners know Jim Rickards. I love this guy. He's our wise man. A former CIA, Pentagon and White House advisor with an unmatched grasp of geopolitics and capital markets. Jim predicted Trump's Electoral College victory exactly 312 to 226, down to the actual number itself. Now he's issuing a dire warning about April 11, a moment that could define Trump's presidency and your financial future. His latest book, MoneyGPT, exposes how AI is setting the stage for financial chaos. Bank runs at lightning speeds, algorithm driven crashes and even threats to national security. Right now, War Room members get a free copy of MoneyGPT when they sign up for Strategic Intelligence. This is Jim's flagship financial newsletter, Strategic Intelligence. I read it. You should read it. Time is running out. Go torickards war room dot com. That's all one word. Rickards War Rooms records with an S. Go now and claim your free book. That's Rickards War room dot com. Do it today. Here's your host, Stephen K. Ban. So Eli Crane does. Do the folks in your district right now. Do you think they understand the because they've been so powerful and giving you great guidance before on some of the big issues facing the nation. But do they, do they even fully get have we done a good enough job that they understand the republic's in the balance right now? I understand we won and I was there for the inauguration, said everybody have a good time. You know, we threw a couple of parties over at Butterworth with Rahim, but that the dark days are going to come within the 100 days because President Trump's full on about saving this country. Do they understand the stakes involved and where do they come out on this, sir?

Steve Bannon (30:11)

I think they do understand the stakes, Steve, because they live the stakes each and every day. You know, whether it's dealing with the aftermath and the continuation of illegal immigration that has destroyed many of their families, many of their communities, you know, hospitals are overrun out here. They absolutely understand it, Steve. As a matter of fact, I think I told you last week I went to a Sarco mine here in Arizona. And because of the Trump administration, they were looking at bringing their mine up to full speed and actually bringing one of the only copper smelters that we have back online, which would bring back, I think it was about 250 well paying American jobs. And so not only do they understand the stakes, but, but because of what President Trump is doing, many of them are looking to make key investments that will make our state more profitable and also a lot safer. Because as you know, a lot of these organizations, what they do is because the EPA and other regulatory agencies have shut down so much of the mining industry, a lot of them have to end up shutting down. Then we end up buying these key minerals overseas, often from adversaries, imperial countries. And so they absolutely understand the stakes and many of them are looking for opportunities. Now because of what President Trump and his cabinet are doing to lessen restrictions.

Stephen K. Bannon (31:45)

In this and by the way, Nvidia Financial Times lead story. Nvidia has announced they're going to bring manufacturing to the United States, back to the United States and invest hundreds of billions of dollars. I will. That's the leading, probably even more so than Taiwan. Manufacturing, design and manufacturing of advanced chips, particularly for AI we'll discuss that. But that's President Trump's, that's the tariff policy, that's President Trump's, the geoeconomic and geostrategic at the same time. Before I get to Ben Harmer, because I got to get your thoughts on this since you're a shooter and have served your country so bravely in some bad neighborhoods. Do you think that they're prepared? Because this thing's going to go politically, not physically, but politically kinetic pretty quickly, when you talk about impeachment, you're going, that's kinetic. Politically, this is going to get up to the very. Because these judges, Roberts just reinforced them yesterday. He sent a signal, we have your back. And so they're going to get more and more brazen, more and more brazen about shutting down President Trump's agenda across the board and everything. Do you believe that your constituents will support the type of remedies that we're talking about, which is not just. There are some great ones, I think, are come out of the House about legislation and maybe, you know, reorganize some of the federal departments, maybe even cut some of the funding. There are going to be many, many proposals put up, and most of those are going to be really good on the margins. But to cut to the heart of it, and I'm telling people we're not going to remove. It's highly unlikely we remove these judges at trial in the Senate, just given the numbers. But the process, trust the process, the process of impeachment in the House will get these judges attention. Do you think your constituents at this moment are there, or do we need more time to develop this so they fully understand the entire implications of Eli Crane?

Steve Bannon (33:48)

I think they do understand the implications, but I also think that more time, you know, will also help those who aren't completely on the bandwagon get there. Steve. And as far as your comments about kinetic, our. Our base has wanted us to be kinetic for a very long time, because as you talk about on this show, all they've seen Republicans do for decades is be controlled opposition. They are begging for us to go kinetic. They are begging us to take on the Democrats and fight like the Democrats fight. And I think that's something that is a lot easier to do when you have President Trump in the White House, who lives and breathes this every single day. If he said, I'm gonna disband the Department of Education on the campaign trail, guess what? That's what he's doing today. And he has tried to keep every single promise that he has made the American people. And that, Steve, is why a billionaire from New York City can come to a rural district in Arizona and have a hero's welcome. Not because he came from New York, not because he was a billionaire businessman, because he keeps his word and he actually goes kinetic and he fights for us.

Stephen K. Bannon (35:01)

And if you seen as we have because we break it down every night. Have you seen these town halls? I mean, the ones Democrats are having, not, not the phony ones that they flood the zone for Republicans with a bunch of paid people or left wing Democrats to boo. But in their own, their own base is also as much as they fight already in Congress, their bases all over them. You're not fighting hard enough. They don't want to be pleasant. They want civil disobedience. My point where this, this thing's going to ratchet up, folks. One side's going to win here and one side's going to lose. There's no middle ground. There's no area that you can negotiate. There's not a middle ground. There's just not. And people in the House have to understand that. And I do think the White House and the communications staff, so there's tremendous. Suzy Walls, them doing a great job. I do think we need to get out in front of this and start explaining this to people even more. Because like Johnson's saying, he's got pockets of guys. And here's the reason. This is going to get quite uncomfortable and quite unpleasant. It just is. You can already see these phony town halls they're having. They're coming. You know, Hageman had one last night. She's got it. And that's probably one of the most MAGA places in the country. Up there in Wyoming, they had a number of left wing Democrats. Every time she tries to talk, they try to drown out and booing her, Eli. So we're going to be on top of this non stop. I do want to get some. There's so much great news, you know, today, Department of Education, but a huge development, Eli, that I want to get your thoughts on. Ben Harnwell joins us from Rome. They had this conference of defense ministers, I think it was, where the work's actually getting done in London. And remember, one of the big hang ups we've had in the Russian rapprochement is not to get sucked into Ukraine with more money, more commitments, but particularly an American security guarantee or any kind of commitment to a peacekeeping force. I think reality. At the same time, the British Chancellor the Exchequer is presenting, I think her spring budget today, massive cuts in social programs because they're broke. As I told the Sky News host a couple weeks ago, and she was shocked. I said, you know, sir, Keir can't. Starmer can't go around the world like he's Winston Churchill because you don't have the money, you don't have the ability to put 30,000 combat troops in Ukraine, you don't have the ability to pay for it. The French don't have the ability to pay for it. The Germans certainly don't have the ability to pay for it. The Italians, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the Greeks pick them. Okay. And now that reality's come to pass, talk to us about what happened in London today. But the reality of this 20 man, 20,000 reassurance force is it Ben Harnwell.

Ben Harnwell (37:34)

Steve, Congressman Crane, good morning to you both. Yes, Steve, well, look, this came out a couple of hours before we've come on air today. This is the BBC's diplomatic correspondent, James Landale, long standing guy, used to be a deputy editor, a foreign editor of the Times, not a hair on fire guy. And he's sourcing this to his own diplomatic contacts, announcing effectively what is a pivot, Steve? It's no longer being called a peacekeeping force. This is what the Franco Anglo force that's being talked about over the last couple of weeks, no longer being called peacekeeping. It's a reassurance force. Now you're going to say to me, Steve, you're going to say to me, well, what's the, you know, I know what a peacekeeping force is and I don't want America to have anything to do with that. But what on earth is a reassurance force? I've never heard the term before. It's basically a comfort blanket. And I think that's about the practical use of it. As you say, 20,000 strong, in the words of the BBC itself, would not be large enough to fight or enforce any peace. It's not going to be there. They're suggesting up on the eastern border confronting Ukraine because they don't want to demonstrate it would be an offensive threat. It's not expected to be monitoring any eventual ceasefire. And it's not being deployed to provide what's called a tripwire force, which is something there as a smaller force which is then attacked by the Russians and that will bring in larger forces. It's really only cosmetic purposes, Steve, and I'll just hand back to you on this point because we've seen a lot in the newspaper that President Trump is being called around the world an agent of chaos, specifically with regards to Ukraine. They say that he's pro Putin and all the rest of it. My only point here is that the reason the Europeans and you're right to say that they don't have the money to push this forward. The reason why they've pivoted this fundamentally is that they've come to exactly the same conclusion that President Trump came to last year, if not before. Only President Trump had the courage and the conviction to put his country first and say these things about America supporting Ukraine. The Europeans did the virtue signaling, but now they've come to exactly the same conclusion. This is not worth the deal, which is why they are pledging 20,000 troops to just basically go there in front of the cameras and do nothing at.

Stephen K. Bannon (40:15)

All and hang out. Eli, you've been one of the biggest voices about, given your role in combat, in saving your serving your country, about this whole situation in Ukraine. Understanding this is not confirmed, but it's from very reliable sources. How does this sit with you? Looks like there's not going to be any American security guarantee, sir.

Steve Bannon (40:38)

Well, I think it's great, Steve. This is something that many of us have been pushing for for a very long time. Many of us that have gone to war, you have so many veterans that have come out of, you know, wars that the US has been involved in. I think we had two decades of war, the longest sustained wars in the United States history. And so you have a lot of guys like me, a lot of great Americans that went off and fought for their country and they were proud to do it. They're very patriotic people. But many of us have been pounding the drum for years now to try and avoid us getting into another never ending war that doesn't put us first, doesn't put our people first that we really don't have any reason to be a part of. And so when I look at what's going on right now with this reassurance force, I think that's what you called it. It looks like theater to me. But hey, I'm glad that finally the Europeans are waking up to the fact that the United States is no longer going to subsidize this war. We're no longer going to be pushing for World War 3 with the largest nuclear superpower on planet Earth. And if this is a fight that they want to engage in, have at it. But this can't be our fight. We can't afford it. And we've spent too much blood and treasure on foreign soil in wars that I don't believe that we probably should have been involved with to begin with.

Stephen K. Bannon (42:08)

Congressman Crane, where do people go to find out more about your impeachment effort, more about what you're doing to support President Trump every day, sir?

Steve Bannon (42:16)

Rep. Eli Crane is a great place. Thanks for having me on, Steve. Ben, thanks for the work you do, man.

Stephen K. Bannon (42:23)

Thank you, thank you Eli Crane. If we had more folks like Eli Crane in Congress, this thing would be getting sorted out a lot quicker. That's just reality. Not a lot of self promotion, not a lot of happy talk. A very quiet guy, like the Clint Eastwood from the. From the spaghetti Westerns. Right. Didn't say a lot, but did a lot. He understands the fight. We're in the unitary executive theory. To delay is to deny. If we stick with our guns, you're going to have more things happening like it's happening in London right now. How? We're a long way from getting that thing sorted in Ukraine. I'm not trying to be Rebecca Sunnybrook Farm here, but they got the joke over in London of where the American people are. No security guarantee, no American troops. Nada. None. The null set, zero short break. Return in a moment.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannock. Okay, Jake Sherman, the. The queen of the trolls, Grace Chung, who's working away as our Chief Operating officer CFO today. It just slipped me that Jake Sherman, the great Jake Sherman over at Punch bowl, is reporting nationwide injunctions will be on the GOP agenda on Capitol Hill. Step one, Step two is let's move right to impeachments. We Got work to do. We understand that. Dr. Carol Swain, you've been credentialed because you've been tenured at two of the most elite institutions of higher education in this nation at Princeton University. And you did something nobody does. You actually walked away from tenure after you got it, which is a story in and of itself. Then at Vanderbilt. So you've been tenured twice today, Department of Education, which I've always said is because they spend no money on K12 of the 272. Bain, I think 262 or something, 80% flows back through the credentialed class of the universities. You've seen the rot. I mean, you worked your entire life. Your story's amazing. You worked your entire life to get there. And you get there and you see the rot at these universities. Give me your thoughts today on this historic day that people from Ronald Reagan, when he ran for president, have talked about getting rid of the Department of Education. Today we begin the process to do that under Donald John Trump. Your thoughts, ma'am?

Dr. Carol Swain (46:32)

Well, the thing about Donald Trump is that he did everything that we expected other Republican presidents to do, and they didn't. We thought Ronald Reagan, President Reagan would eliminate affirmative action. It was established by executive order. It took Donald Trump to get rid of it. And so when I look at Donald Trump, I see a man who keeps his word. And I think that the American people, regardless of political party, they respect that. I posted on X a few days ago that the number one dinnertime question is, what did Trump do today? Because President Trump is full of action. And the Department of Education has actually probably led to a decline in the quality of education, because ever since it was established in the 1970s, America's school children have not performed well. Their scores have continually dropped. So they're behind children in other nations.

Stephen K. Bannon (47:39)

What about all this money that goes to the. To the university? I mean, they focus on going, giving it to the credential class. My big argument is that 2/3 of these degrees are worthless now. That's why you need student loans. That's why these kids don't have jobs on the way out. They can't pay for them because universities have become kind of woke DEI centers. Ma'am.

Dr. Carol Swain (48:01)

That happened a long time ago. But in some ways, I divide the world into pre Obama, post Obama, and after President Obama was elected. That's when it was a precipitous decline in the quality of education. And you really saw the critical race theory, the dei, the trigger warning, safe spaces, microaggressions, personal Pronouns, all of that exploded. The university is also, especially during Obama's second term, this rot, all of these ideologies seeped into the K through 12 educational realm. And with the Department of Education. I wish President Trump, I don't know that I would have appointed a secretary. I would have appointed a 10 person demolition crew to go in there with a charge to get rid of the department in one year and farm out everything that needs to go somewhere else. But I would not have put in the infrastructure of a secretary of Education, deputy secretary and all of that.

Stephen K. Bannon (49:10)

Your demolition crew, what would be your advice to presidents? This train's rolling. And obviously, as you know, President Trump calls audibles as he goes. This is the beginning of a process and folks understand something. When this is signed today, they're going to be in court before the end of our 5:00 show today. So President Trump is going to sign it at 3:30. He's going to have an education event in the East Room. I think Tiffany justice is going to be there. Our Brian Glenn will be there. Natalie will be live at 5:00. Before we're finished on our 5 to 7 o'clock afternoon show, they'll be in federal court suing to stop this. So since this is going to be a battle royale, Dr. Swain, and you're as tough as boot leather, what's your advice to President Trump after he signs this today?

Dr. Carol Swain (49:57)

Stay the course. But you know, the surrogates and the people that are out there that are talking to the American people on various shows like this, they need to be prepared to counter all the lies the left would put out. And they can easily counter it with data. And that's what I believe the focus should be. We have to focus on educating the American people. We know that the propaganda they get from most of the news outlets is false. It's anti Trump, it's meant to scare people. And that will be what happens. I also believe that the Trump administration, the cutbacks, the things that they're doing, will create a lot of pain temporarily. It will impact racial and ethnic minorities because many of them work in these departments. And I think it's important to inform people that there are other jobs. If you are good at what you do, there are other positions that you can apply for. You don't have to work in dei. DEI has been a mistake. It's been against the Constitution and the civil rights laws. And I think the greatest thing we have is truth, a vision and an ability to educate the American people.

Stephen K. Bannon (51:22)

Dr. Swain, I know I know you got some time constraints. I think you can give us a few minutes on the other side. We're going to take a short commercial break here. I just want to go through this because you're absolutely correct, folks. This is the start of a journey today, as many of these things are. President Trump, I tell folks, you're just not going to wave a magic wand. The opposition here is quite dug in. Plus, this is a major money source, just like usaid. You're cutting off epa, you're cutting off the money laundering operation. They will fight to the bitter end about this.
