Steve Bannon
You know what? Maria Cash is not kidding. We've been personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget tendril of this case. One is actively in court right now. So out of respect for the case, it's probably more appropriate that I stay quiet on that. However, I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear. I'm going to tell you the truth. And whether you like it or not is up to you. If there was a big explosive there, there, right. Given my history as a Secret Service agent and my personal friendship as a director does with the President, give me one logical, sensible reason we would not have. If you can think of one. There isn't. There isn't there. In some of these cases, that there you're looking for is not there. And I know people, I get it, I understand it's not there. If it was there, we would have told you.
Alex Jones
You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don't believe it.
Cash Patel
Well, I mean, listen, they have a right to their opinion. But as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been in that prison system, who's been in the Metropolitan Detention center, who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one. And that's what that was.
Steve Bannon
He killed himself. Again, you want me to get. I've seen the whole file. He killed himself.
Alex Jones
This is the primal screen of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not going to 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.
Dan Bongino
And where do people like that go.
Alex Jones
To share the big lie? MAGA Media.
Dan Bongino
I wish in my soul, soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Alex Jones
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
War room here's your host, Stephen k. Ban.
Alex Jones
Thursday 21st May, Year of our Lord 2025 by the way, for the war in posse. I know we're going to get. We're going to work through the bill, we're going to get organized. I understand. Look, one of the things that jumps out of me, there's no tax on Social Security. Didn't see that. I missed that. They've got a little relief and I think it works out to 500 bucks. Well, we'll figure it all out. But this thing's got, we got to go through it. We're gonna get organized, so just keep digging. But this thing's a long way from over. Alex Jones joins me. We've got a lot to go through today, Alex, and I want your thoughts on kind of where we stand. But if you look at President Trump's trying to, trying to end the kinetic part of the Third World War, right? And you know, from Russian rapprochement to the situation in Ukraine, which is part of that, to the, you know, Israel wants to bomb the Persians, like tomorrow night, the President Trump's trying to lay hands on all that. You've got the big beautiful bill has the 170 billion in it. I think for 150 billion to deport the 13 million illegal aliens here that the courts are forcing us into a constitutional crisis of which we're hurtling towards. And then if you look in the middle of what the, if you look at the, you know, redoing all the commercial relationships in the world and how the budget is and how it's going to be financed, all of it, and of course, the bond market's not exactly high fiving us right now, but people were going to work through all this. The one aspect that's continued to concern me, and now you've got this whole Biden situation is that whole other thing of taking down the administrative state which Doge started, right. Although the Congress has still not codified the cut, you know, the cuts and the waste, fraud and abuse. But even more importantly, it's taken on the deep state. Now, two close friends of yours and mine and colleagues and people that we respect and pushed hard for this job, Dan Bongino and Cash Patel, two of the best of the best. You know, I couldn't understand when I saw that until I read your text and said it looked like a hostage video. And I go, alex Jones nailed it again. That's exactly what it is. In fact, I went back to make sure that Dan and Cash were not blinking their eyes and I missed the Morse code. What's going on, brother? You've got a better. You've been working this beat for a long time. What is your assessment right now of how. Because I tell you, when they steal it in 28 and they're going to try to steal it in 28, everybody's going to prison unless this, unless this deep state's taken apart, because these people are vicious. Where do you think we stand right now? On. Coming up on Memorial Day, weekend, four or five months into the second term here, sir.
Stephen K. Bannon
On the broad strokes of policy, winning the trade war, ending our long surrender to the globalist system, effectively getting us out of the World Trade Organization, taking our power back, really starting to wind down these planetary wars that threaten our very existence, on securing the border, on getting trillions of dollars of investment to come in, on relaunching love of our country, on stopping the globalist demoralization of the population. When it comes to yesterday with the South African racist president who claims he doesn't know anything about targeting white farmers or killing them or taking their land and then just showing it all in his face, I mean, this is a masterclass in how to smash the gaslighters. But when it comes to the infrastructure and the bureaucracy in the permanent state, I would give Trump a C minus. But that's because of how dug in it is and how hard these people are, are fighting back and how arrogant they are. But also because it's an existential threat for them if we continue to win. So we're winning. But in the first 123 days or so, 24 days, you see that massive momentum starting to slow in some areas and that's very, very concerning. And we see Moody's trying to lower the US Credit rating and then trying to lower US bank credit rating because the globalists are so desperate to stop Trump's incredible so far victories, getting most of the planet to realign with us. It's not just not about trade, obviously, it's about alliances, ending the neoliberal globalist order that'll never get back into power again. But in pockets around the world like here in the US if they're able to at least get control of the executive branch again, they are going to not just come for Steve Bannon and Donald Trump and his family and Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson, they're going to come for the entire country, as they've said they would do. And as they were going to do, they were able to put Kamala in. So this is really an existential threat, as you said. And I, I really like Dan Bongino, I really like Kash Patel. But recent statements that, oh, Jeffrey Epstein killed himself when it would take an hour to go over the evidence, obviously he didn't. It's ridiculous. Neck broken three times. That's the corner. And all the rest of it, cameras turned off, on and on and on. And then to add insult to injury, oh, and we've seen all the evidence from Butler and Crooks and it's open and shut. Nothing else happened here. Bare minimum. Secret Service stand down. The FBI trying to cover up the investigation until Caution and, and Bongino got in and, and then there's so many facets to. I've interviewed the private investigators that have been on the ground, very respected. I've known for decades, like Hagman, where they got threatened on the ground by FBI to get out of here when they were there for months. So, so we know the whole background of crooks and his house being basically completely clean, no utensils, nothing. His phone, you know, being at this law enforcement training center with the geolocation being around the FBI building. I mean this, he's on top the building taking the shot for 10 minutes with people saying shooter, shooter, shooter, shooter. Nothing being done. You got Mangino for months and months and months in July rightfully saying this is a cover up. And then 180 and then the body language which almost makes it endearing when, when they're being deceptive. We all know they are, whatever reason they look like, like I was going to say that, like in the Korean War or in the Vietnam War conflicts when they would shoot down our fighter pilots or fighter bombers. And then the famous cases of them doing Morse code when they've been tortured and you know, forced to say horrible things about America and their mission. They were Morse coding. Torture, torture, torture. Younger generations won't know what Steve was talking about, but I'm old enough to remember that. And so that's where we are. And so I don't want to cry foul on these guys. I'm a big booster of the administration. I'm giving them time. You know, you can always get clicks if you sit there and criticize. A lot of folks do that we've.
Alex Jones
Seen in the Biden situation. You've seen the Praetorian Guard where they, they had this information in 2019 on the laptop from hell. We had Rudy on here. I was on the laptop from hell team that pushed it out. They had it. Ray and Barr had it in November of 19. They wanted Biden. That's why they protect him. You've done more than anybody to describe the elements of DoD, CIA, DNI, Department of Justice, FBI, elements of DHS and HHS have formed a cabal of a Praetorian Guard of a deep state. It exists. It's not, it's categorical to the degree. It's C minus. President Trump can't do everything right. Do we need a special prosecutor? What is Alex Jones's recommendation to take down the deep state. We have only a couple of years to do it. And they're dug in because they run the most powerful apparatus in mankind's history. Sir.
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, remember the FBI had in New York that they made resign when he had the Epstein files. When they, Koch did, you know, raid him a day after they refused to release him. He said, we're dug in, we're in a war, we're Marines fighting Trump. I mean it's, they need to indict that guy. I mean that is serious. And we need, and I know they got the report coming out on Afghanistan and that withdraw. We need to get that commission and court martials going of a million others. It's all cut and dry. We need prosecutions now. And you're the expert on that. We need those mechanisms now. And we have to start going after these people now. We're starting to see corrupt Congress people arrested, we're starting to see corrupt judges that hide illegal alien gang bangers being arrested. So, so I'm. And we're seeing Tom Holman scale up and accelerate the amount of deportation. So overall, I give Trump an A plus. You're absolutely right. He was elected the captain of the ship, as Elon Musk said, as you've said. But he has about half the crew that is mutinous. I mean, half of them wouldn't even respond to the Doge email saying what's five things you did last week and who is your boss? And so Trump has to crack the whip with all of these people. You know, Trump wants to know what happened in Butler. Trump wants to know what happened in Mar a Lago with the shooter. But notice the FBI was covering that up, according to the state police in Florida. Now it seems to be going on and I've talked to some high level prosecutors over the weekend and asked them what they thought about all this and they said, listen, we got to pick our battles. And certain issues that were run by professional crooks like Comey are so hard to penetrate and would take everything we've got. We're moving to hit the low level and mid level to make them turn state's evidence very, very soon. I know you talk to a lot of high level sources in the president all the time. I talk to some of the top prosecutors and you know, they said that's that that's going on. They also reached out to me to say we know about what happened to you. So not to write myself into the story, you've been persecuted more. But three days after Trump got in, I was sent by the FBI. Part of my file where Obama, right when Comey got in in 2013, declared me a top national security threat. I put these documents out months ago. I got them like three weeks after Trump was in. Just I got a call, hey, look in your P.O. box. You know, it came from the FBI and it was the Boston field office. So back to Mueller as well, put him under national security threat, which is an ongoing, not just criminal investigation, but a full on secret sanction operation of debanking, harassment, demonization, human intelligence, attempted infiltrators, lawsuits, deplatforming. And so I was the beta test along with General Flynn and you. And they've bragged about this on msnbc. They've had their top lawyers that have engineered it all bragging, brag how once we get Jones, Bannon and others, we're going to get Tucker Carlson, then we're going to get Trump and, and, and so now more of this has come out. Now you know, Comey's got his new book out, which they even admit the bad guy that must be put in prison, the talk show host by the FBI is based on the evil Alex Jones. So they are obsessed with you and I particularly because we see right through them and we just have to be as intense as possible with the, not just Trump and his, and his, and his, his crew, but with the general public. This is not a normal election, not a normal neocon. We got in. This is the real revolution against the globalist and there is no election cycle. This is full on information war here on out. People better be marching, demonstrating, spreading information online, donating, supporting the sponsors of all the most hardcore on point shows. And when a broadcast and news organization like the War Room or like what I do in Infowars is under attack, it is an absolute must to push everything we do like it's a war, because it is. And I'm not trying to say, hey, promote us, that's the answer, but it is. Boost everything Trump's doing. Boost everything you're doing. Because look, listen, we're weeks into the media going corporate media, oh look, we're selling books and oh, the Democrats covered up. He was sick, Biden and he was a near vegetable. We already knew that. We don't need them to tell us that. We knew that. Five, six years ago when he was first running, we said Biden's got serious problems. They've diverted from the auto pin, the committee run by Obama that was really ruling the country illegally. They stole the 2020. But you can debate that all day. The evidence is there, but you can't debate that. Biden didn't know he signed the ban on liquid natural gas and all the rest of it. And so everything he did was illegitimate. And Trump is hammering that and saying I want indictments of the treasonous thugs, close quote that, that, that ran a coup. And that's what it is. So Trump gets it. His instincts are on target. You're on target, I'm on target, a few others are on target. And that's why we're under attack. Whatever's under attack, whatever's getting the flak is over the damn target. And we need to get damn serious about this. And Trump needs to come out with televised national addresses and say we must arrest the criminals that did all of this or it is. They're going to stage false flags. They're getting ready for mass riots this summer. They've been gearing up for. It is on.
Alex Jones
Alex, hang on one second. We're taking a short commercial break. Alex Jones is speaking truth to power this morning in the war room. Short break. This July there is a global summit of BRICS nations in Rio de Janeiro. The block of emerging superpowers including China, Russia, India and Persia are meeting with the goal of displacing the United States dollar as the global currency. They're calling this the Rio Reset. As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for US dollars will decrease bringing down the value of the dollar and your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio. The Rio Reset in July marks a pivotal moment when BRICS objectives move decisively from a theoretical possibility towards inevitable reality.

Cash Patel
Government gangsters are the group of individuals, career bureaucrats who have been installed by what we call the deep state.
Alex Jones
Into.
Cash Patel
Every agency and department in the United States government.
Dan Bongino
What do you think of the way that the intelligence community handled the so called called Russia dossier. And overall, how do you think of the way they've handled Donald Trump?
Alex Jones
Okay. Gumro Gangsters produced by War Room Films, Stephen K. Bannon, directed by Matthew Taylor. We spent a lot of time with Cash in the book. Book was a best selling hit movie, did incredibly well. We'll put it back out and you know, Cash understands what's going on. So Alex, they barely have a grip on, on the FBI because they got two guys over there. They barely have a grip on the Justice Department even though they've secunded some guys like Ed Martin and people like that over there, they don't have a grip. Ratcliffe's already told us the thousand CIA guys are all just going to be, you know, as they retire, they're not going to fill the billet. And he's already said Politico has reported he's not going to make any changes. He said he's not going to make any political changes over there. You just go through department after department after department. We're burning daylight on this. The departments themselves can't do it. The folks President Trump have are doing a solid job as a kid, but they barely have grips on this massive administrative state bureaucracy. In the combination of those departments I talked about certain elite elements forms a deep state. This has to happen from the outside and it has to report directly to President Trump because you can tell he's getting more, more frustrated. What is your recommendation, sir?
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, that's right. You know, we know that they were going to put Ed Martin in as the U.S. attorney in D.C. he was acting as that. And then the Republicans, some of them, Tillis blocked it. Trump could have rammed it through but instead they are making him the head of this new anti government weaponization task force with the power to go over the country. But he's now working on even trying to get it staffed and obviously, you know, going through all of that. But I think you're right. A special counsel that the president brings in that reports right to him, a, a anti deep state czar. Ed Martin would be a great person and you know, not give him a billion dollars like they're talking about with his new task force. How about $10 billion? I'm $20 billion. I mean this would be the best money we ever spent. And in a doge like way, just go in, look at the files of all these globalist, all these deceivers and just purge them. That's what must be done. And what happens is, you Leave them there. They start threatening, they start intimidating, they start going at people's families covertly, they start applying all sorts of pressure. And then most of the people Trump's put in that he thinks are even on his side aren't for the globalist. But at the end of the day, they're intimidated. Trump needs hardcore serious warriors like him, and that's what he has to have. He needs to have a thousand. Steve Bannon's a thousand, General Flynn's a thousand, you know, Ed Martins, to put in all the key positions that don't play games. We are in a counter revolution against the globalist. We were on the edge of the Republic being gone, but the people rallied and woke up to a certain extent. And now we've expanded our beachhead of eight years ago to a larger take back of the Republic. But we are far from victorious at this point.
Alex Jones
If we are.
Stephen K. Bannon
If we go through.
Alex Jones
Alex, if we go through these four years and we've changed the trade deals, we've killed the global. We got out of the World Trade Organization, we've secured our borders, we've done all this, but have not laid a glove on the deep state, would this term be a success or a failure in your mind?
Stephen K. Bannon
People will see the incredible success and then maga. Make America great again and make the world great again. In this global peace initiative, the golden age of the world, as Trump said, sets to start in America, where the central pillar of the west, the west falls, the whole world falls. I mean, that's really the mission. American soft power, bringing back what made us the apple, the world's eye and the destination. Yes, overall, they'll never get their full globalist plan, but they will still, for decades, be able to destabilize and persecute people, and they will try to reinstitute their carbon taxes, their Paris accords, the transgender stuff that we still haven't fully defeated. And so long term, they still lose, but it'll be much, much, much more painful. We've got to aggressively get this done now. It must be done. It is. It is an absolute death battle beyond existential. Are all of our futures hanging the balance? As Trump has said a thousand times, they're not trying to get him. He's standing in the way of them getting to us. And the public has to understand this is the number one issue. This is everything. And as the world begins to wake up to the globalist tyranny and you will eat the bugs that's happening, and you see the EU arresting their political opposition, arresting, canceling elections. So. So people are really getting it. But we're seeing a response to the globalist to not reform or course correct, but to double down, not just here, but around the world. We have to double down with everything we've got. And it's got to be Trump's leadership. He's got to call in Kash and, you know, all of them and, you know, tell him, listen, you know, because he's not stupid. He knows that was a stand down and what happened to Butler, he knows that was a setup with Ukraine money coming back through to try to kill him in Mar a Lago. He knows damn well. And if they don't bring all this out, then it is just inviting them to continue to engage in all the criminal activity they've engaged in.
Alex Jones
No, they know, they want. You've said, okay, you've talked to senior people, you said, hey, look, to go after the top guys now is too hard. We're going to go in and start rolling up and have guys flip. Do you believe, given the time we have, do you think that's a smart strategy, sir?
Stephen K. Bannon
I mean, I'm not a federal prosecutor, I'm not a U.S. attorney, and I definitely studied it and know enough to be dangerous. But all I know is, as you keep saying, this was a globalist revolution in the country. Cloud pivot on steroids. We're not in the same place we were. This is a real war. It's an emergency. They brought us in to bureaucratic globalist martial law, endless emergency. So it's gonna take serious medicine to get us out of that. Trump's not a tyrant, he's a peacemaker. He wants stability. But we have to be ready. No. To put him in in 28, we need to 48, 47. Not 8,000, 647. We have to be bold, aggressive, unapologetic. We're the good guys. We're fighting the tyrants. We control the narrative. And we just have to be not arrogant, but laser focused and bullish and just blitzkrieg over them, but with the truth and not play patty cake. I watch Fox News constantly congratulating themselves. Oh, was it ineptitude? They didn't know that Trump wasn't ineptitude, that they didn't know that Biden was a near vegetable. Or do they do it on purpose? That's a false debate within a false debate. It's not about them lying. We knew they were lying. It's about the coup of the last four years. We have to hammer the illegitimacy of that, we have to get election integrity, enforce those executive orders, pull the federal funds from states that don't have voter ID. We have to reinstitute the Judiciary act of 1802, 1803, Thomas Jefferson. Congress should not just talk about it. They should fire either selectively or all of these Article 3 judges. This is war. We got to take action now.
Alex Jones
Alex Jones, man. Hey, I'm signing up for this now. You know what? Alex Jones is target number one. And we ought to get those documents out there. You were target number one, Alex. Where do people go to get all your content? Social media. You're the tip of the spear on this. And you're right, it's an information war. But we gotta go on offense. We're not on offense right now, folks. We're on offense on a lot of stuff President Trump's doing, on setting the economy, trying to stunt the kinetic part of the Third World War, stop the invasion. But on the thing that we have to do, which is take apart the deep state, insult the earth around it, a Carthaginian piece is the only thing that we're going to call for. We're not there yet. And we got to get there. We got to get there rapidly. Alex, where do they go to get all your content and social media?
Stephen K. Bannon
Sir, it's been a long battle. There's a hearing on June 6th where they're still trying to shut us down. I'm suing them. Paul Weiss Law firm. We're really winning. There's a criminal investigation. I can just leave it at that, what they've done. And I'll be up in D.C. soon for some meetings on that. But bottom line, I'm at real Alex Jones on x for now infowars.com show and we are just fighting and we are pushing the truth out and we are rallying the troops. I want to thank all of your viewers and listeners for their great work. And I wasn't target number one. We were all in the first target group, but yes, we were in the first wave that they attacked because we are the shock troops. And I'm just blessed to be right beside you, Steve.
Alex Jones
Alex, just before we go, we got about a minute in this because we've pulled you live from the day they were trying to shut you down. The guys are in there in your control room ripping out cords in that fight back to stay alive as a broadcaster. You're saying your investigators, you have found criminal activity against you, sir?
Stephen K. Bannon
Yes, we filed that in court. That's the hearing on the 6th. And I can tell you the Justice Department, I was looking at it, and they've asked me to come up soon with all the data. And it's incredible. We found out the Justice Department secretly funded the fake lawsuits, coordinated the Democrat operative judges defaulting me. And they had literal show trials produced by hbo. They had a fake auction back in November and wouldn't let anybody else bid, but said it was a real auction. The judge found it was a fraud. The federal judge, but then he still just, you know, says, well, you know, if Paul Weiss law firm running this whole thing against me, you know, doesn't want somebody to buy infowars, it'll just be shut down. And the Democrats have said, we don't want him on air. We don't want money. We want him shut down. Of course, we built a backup network at AJ and live on X. And that's. Things built, but it's smaller. We want to. This is the Hill we're dying on. We're not giving up to the end. But, but. But that's what's going on. I mean, it has been wild. It has been crazy. And you can read the filing from about a month ago in federal court that got this hearing on the 6th coming up. We're filing more lawsuits. And it's, It's. And we say in there, we show the bankruptcy fraud, we show the criminality, we show it boom, boom, boom. It's cut and dry. They've been so arrogant, and the Justice Department's very interested because they were so arrogant with me. It's very cut and dry. And it goes right up to the Justice Department, right up to the FBI. The FBI testified in the Connecticut show trial that they initiated the lawsuits against me. So it's. It's all been run by Comey.
Alex Jones
Wow. We're gonna get all over it. That's why President Trump targeted Paul Weiss first, because they're the Tiffany sphere. Alex, thank you so much. We got your back. God bless you. What a warrior. What a patriot. What an American hero. The Alex Jones short break. Russ vote on the other side. If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this.

Stephen K. Bannon
War room here's your host Stephen K. Band.
Alex Jones
Okay, we're going to the White House. Our own Russ voted director Office of Management and Budget. Russ, can you can you kind of summarize where we are? The big beautiful bill passed your structure of trying to bend the arc of mandatory spending in the out years is now approved. Head to the Senate. Where do we stand sir?
Dan Bongino
Obviously we had a big vote this morning to get the bill out of the House. A massive bill. Any one of these provisions in this bill would not normally in a different era been the subject of months of debate but we were able to do it in one bill and send it to the Senate. Well the thing that I want to unpack a couple things. Number one this is it is an enormous bill. It is much of our agenda but it is only one aspect of what a comprehensive budget picture is. And so like this wasn't a budget resolution. This was a procedural device to get as much as can you your agenda through the Senate and avoid a Senate filibuster. Doesn't include the tariffs, doesn't include the discretionary fight that we're going to do on rescissions and cutting all the non defense spending that we send up in our budget resolution. There's a lot of things that are part of a comprehensive fiscal picture that gets you to balance but what this bill does is it ends I believe 30 years of futility with not being able to do anything substantial on mandatory savings. The last time we had any real victory was 1997 with passage of the balanced budget agreement which of course had welfare reform as part of it. This bill has nearly $2 trillion by all the as the scores get updated based on the Changes that House conservatives were able to work with us on. This bill will have nearly $2 trillion in mandatory savings, more than double what was achieved in 1997. And it will mean as a result of reasonable economic growth assumptions over 10 and the mandatory savings that are part of this bill that this bill will reduce the deficit and will help us with our debt. And I believe with the most important thing we need is actually victories on our side of the football field. That's what this bill does and that's what we have not had for 30 years. It also then sets us up for an enormous fight on non defense appropriations. The woke the weaponized bureaucracy that is still going to happen this year. This bill makes it easier because we are paying for all of our homeland security increases and our defense increases that are normally the kinds of things that cause Republicans or Democrats to be divided. It keeps us from having a rock down fight on non defense discretionary later this year. This bill in fact sets that up. So I'm extremely excited about it. Obviously President Trump closed it out yesterday and now we go to the Senate to try to get as much of this and hopefully more as we possibly can.
Alex Jones
Now he's a closer. But here's the thing in selling it to the bond market the growth rate which I think can be justified. The house use 2.6 has is talking about 3% or more. But I think there are things on the supply side that can be sold. Your additional cuts and rescissions I don't think is in here that can be sold. The tariffs, I don't know. The tariffs are going to be at least a couple of hundred billion dollars, maybe three. I hear as much as half a trillion dollars that can't be scored by cbo. We got that. But in a big beautiful package it can be sold to the bond market. I've got Scott Besant, I've got Russ vote, I got Hassett, maybe even Rant and Navarro. I got three, four, five. Throw in Lutnick. Are people that understand these and can explain it to capital markets. What is the plan for that? I got a big beautiful bill but it's not comprehensive because certain things can't be in it because of the nature of the reconciliation. When are we going to go? Because I think that's when people understand well hey maybe I want more 10 year treasuries and I'm not going to charge you, you know what 4.6% or over 5 on the 30s. When are we going to have a comprehensive. If anybody can sell something it's Donald Trump. Right. Because he's a deal guy. He knows capital markets. When are we going to get on offense and push what you just said, which is a winning message and happens to be reality?
Dan Bongino
No, it's something we've been trying to do over the last week, you know, particularly because we got the news from Moody's and look, with Moody's, you know, I think there's some Liz truss attacks going on with regard to the timing of this. They were basically trying to get themselves updated for being irrelevant for the last 15 years in terms of what's the substance of what the credit ratings have said over years is look, there's been no, no success towards moving the structural debt and deficits from mandatory savings. We think we accomplished that. But to your point, your question, we believe that the tariffs are a part of this. The tariffs are happening right now. Everyone thinks the he's the president negotiating these bills. We are on a current glide path right now for $3 trillion over 10 years notwithstanding how the reciprocal agreements end up. That's based on the things that are in place right now that we are seeing record levels of tariffs and they are coming in to the extent over 10 years of $3 trillion. We are going to send up resistance bills. There's this meme out there that we're not sending sending rescissions bills up. We have a $9 billion package of doge cuts to foreign aid, incorporation for public broadcasting and NPR. It is almost ready to go up. Why is the delay? The delay is because the House actually wants to pass it and we have been working with House appropriators Tom Cole, Mario Diaz, Ballard. For the first time in history I've had conversations with the House appropriators. They want to put pass it in the House and put pressure on the Senate. I don't want to say send rescissions bills up there that go nowhere. And then of course we remain committed in keeping empowerment on the table. So if they don't move these cuts, we are still going to have our executive tools to in fiscal year 25 in fiscal year 25 to Bend and cut and reduce woke and weaponized bureaucracy and make DOGE cuts permanent. This is a comprehensive picture.
Alex Jones
Yeah, those three things because CB the CEO because of the nature of it can't score certain things and reconciliation. You can't discuss things because of the way. But I count from Hassett for trick on growth rates of which they say they can back up and I think they can $4 trillion of additional tax revenues coming in on the reduced Tax structure. We've got number one, you just said $3 trillion over 10 on tariffs minimum. That's 300. You add the 400 billion of additional growth tax and you add the 300 billion. I'm at 700 billion. All sudden you throw in some rescissions. I'm getting close to the trillion dollars that we talked about cutting. This gets you on the six and a half the glide slope to three and a half zero hedge and everybody reporting, hey, the six and a half goes to seven. The reason is we're not on a full offense. Relentless about. You're not looking at the math right. And here's the math. And if you do that, the bond market is going to react because right now we're playing with one hand tied behind our back because of the constraints of the reconciliation process. Sir.
Dan Bongino
Clinton said it better. We have to zoom out. We got to show the full picture of what this administration is accomplishing across the board. And once we tell that story, people will be as excited as I am as Owen has been in helping shepherd this to the completion and getting the President to be able to get it across the finish line. Why? Because it ends fiscal futility. We haven't had any victories on this side of the football field in nearly 30 years and now we're talking about $2 trillion in mandatory savings.
Alex Jones
Yeah, one thing. Okay, Russ, so the, the reason for that has not really been the House, it's been the Senate. And you got 19 collaborators up there that worked with Biden and Mitch McConnell to agree to all this madness and spending that drove inflation. That got us into this situation with the debt. When is Russ vote, go sit down with the Senate and say, guys, you can't make this any. We need to make this even better. You can't make it worse because that is the heart for the audience out there. The heavy lift, as heavy as it was in the House, a heavier lift is the Senate, is it not, Sir?
Dan Bongino
We think that we're going to have a great set of progress in getting this through the Senate. Look, here's the dynamic. We're up there all the time. I'll be up there all the time. We've got a lot of members. The Republican conference wants to do something historic. They want to do something that's big and beautiful. They want to get it done. We believe that, that a three seat majority in the House just proved that you could do the magnitude and the scale of what we're now talking about. I think it puts pressure on the Senate to do it and I Think we have members in the Senate as well that are going to. Because the fiscal hawks in the Senate are going to demand that we hit the House number and be able to build upon it. And so I think this is something that, you know, we're hoping to get it done as soon as we we possibly can and get it to the president's desk before July 4th. A thousand conversations between now and then need to occur, but I'm not expecting a ton of resistance.
Stephen K. Bannon
Wow.
Alex Jones
Russ, Vote. Where do we go for. Thanks for taking time today to visit with us. Where do we go to follow you on social media, sir.
Dan Bongino
At Russ Vote and now at OMB Press.
Alex Jones
Ok. By the way, Russ, all way the profiles I read about you, you're not that bad a guy, are you? The media, these, these things is like you're Darth Vader. You're not that. You're actually a pretty nice guy.
Dan Bongino
Just your boring neighborhood budget guy. Steve.
Alex Jones
Russ, you're a warrior. Thank you, sir. Thank you for helping the President.
Dan Bongino
Thanks, Steve. Appreciate it.
Alex Jones
Russ. Vogue, patriot and warrior right there. They're coming after Russ. Big league. They understand he's the glue that holds it together. You heard it right there. I think we got to get a full package and you got to press. This thing's got to be sold. The Moody's thing, not a coincidence. They did it on the eve of the vote for a reason. They had decades to do this and what did they do? They didn't do it during Biden's thing. Give me a break. Give me a frickin break. Do we have the. Do we have the. Luigi, Luigi? Can I do the forks in the road? Is that teed up? Can we go and call the call for that? Yeah, let's go ahead and play. I want to play this. I want to talk about. They had an assassination. That's what it was last night. An assassination. Two assassination in thing. Okay, we ready? Anytime. Let's go. Let's hit it, String. And here's the thing. The alternative the populist nationalists offer is an alternative that you can see the sunlit uplands. Tons of change has to happen. But the other alternative, I'm telling you is this. Luigi the look has treated like a hero, he's treated like Robin Hood. That should scare you to the marrow of your bones because that's the alternative. If the system keeps going like it is, that alternative is your alternative. We offer the populist nationals offer something you're not going to love but you'll be able to live with, right? Particularly when it comes to spending money, your money. So I said yesterday in front of this, we're looking up the system we have is not sustainable. Our alternative makes it sustainable. But if you continue on the path you're going to get Luigi and Luigi's gonna be gunning, is gonna be gunning for those people in that audience, which I think the audience understood what I was saying. They took it to heart. Let's say we've talked for years about the red green merger. This is this radical Marxism, Neo Marxism combining with radical jihad. You saw it last night in Washington D.C. gunned down a couple of young people outside. Think of a Jewish, some sort of Jewish get together. The young guy who happened to be a Christian, I think engaged to a Jewish girl, gunned him down in cold blood, just like Luigi. And he's put out a manifesto. We'll make sure we'll go through the manifesto. Maybe I'll make sure we'll do that at five o' clock. But this is what I was warning about, this merger of the BLM and the, in the radical Neo Marxist with the jihadists. Because the guy was yelling free Palestine, this is going to be a thing. What's this guy's name? Rodriguez or Gonzalez or, you know, he's clearly not, doesn't appear to be a Muslim. The Free Palestine is now part of this Neo Marxist. It's the red green merger. And this is going to get a lot more violent. I keep telling people this, they're going to get a lot more violent. These people are out of control. They are violent people and they're being goaded on by people that want them to have violence. And that guy was right there and was, I don't know if he ran away or didn't run away but was captured by the authorities or least security immediately. He's taken two young lives and his life's over. He'll spend, you know, they'll put him in a supermax for the rest of his life. These people are being goaded on by very sophisticated and very bad people that want to destroy this republic. This red green merger, you've seen it in Europe, you've seen it in London. This is the radical Neo Marxist left with the Sharia supremacists of the, of the Jihadist movement. Short commercial break.

That's brickhouse nutrition.com brickhousenutrition.com here's your host, Stephen K. Band. Okay, so nor just walk me through this where in fact, I don't think we send observers. Correct me if I don't think they're I think President Trump pretty adamant, hey, we're out. He considers we're out now officially takes place in January, but they have been there passing things. The question the audience wants to know, how is that going to affect U.S. citizens? We're not part of the World Health Organization. We're acting like we're out already, but in January we're out. And President Trump, God bless him, this is what I voted for. He ain't sending the money for 24 and 25. He's saying no. When I say out, we're out. And they're having the scramble. And by the way, all these guys talking about they're going to put this up and they're going to do this and Bill Gates, you watch. If they're not living off US Taxpayers, nothing happens. This thing will be crumbling as speak. But what did they actually pass and what impact does it have on citizens of these United States if we're not part of the World Health Organization? Ma' am.
Noor Bin Laden
I'll answer your question after that. I'd really like to come back to the question on the budget and how the fact that the US Is leaving the WHO and won't be paying their membership fees is causing so many ripple effects here in Geneva. But to answer your question, there is something that is Very critical. And the first thing I'd like to say is that the WHO makes it extremely convoluted and confusing on purpose. They don't want the public to be informed. They don't want the public to really know what's going on. But I'll try my best to break it down in essence. On Monday, on the first day of the World Health assembly, the wha, they had an initial vote in order to bring the pandemic agreement to the floor on the Tuesday morning where it was officially adopted. This is what we discussed yesterday, and we saw the video of everybody clapping and the WHO leaders calling this a win for multilateralism. But it was extremely deceiving because the pandemic agreement wasn't signed, Steve. It cannot be signed because the annex hasn't been approved or even drafted yet. And this annex is the core of the agreement. And this is what they're going to be working on for the next year. The only problem is that from a PR standpoint, they couldn't come up this year and be like, oh, we're delaying it again, which is what they did last year. They've been working on this thing for the past three years. And so they had to mitigate this, you know, PR disaster, which is, you know, frankly, a total fiasco, by claiming victory, when, in fact, there isn't a victory. And so the next step is for them to continue negotiating the annex of the pandemic agreement towards a target of actually signing the document at next year's WHA, at the 79th World Health Assembly. And once that gets proposed, and there are 60 ratifications, 60 signatures, then that will come in effect. But by then, the United States of America won't be a part of the who, so technically, the US shouldn't be impacted by the pandemic.
Alex Jones
Hold on, hang on. But if I. If I go overseas, or if I work for an overseas company, or if I do anything overseas that's going to impact me, because isn't this passing all the stuff with the digital IDs and everything, all the evil we try to get out of this, we walked away, which is smart. But aren't they going to try to put a noose around the United States by doing this? Ma' am. And my point is, we're going to have to get more aggressive. Just walking away is one thing. We're going to have to get more aggressive in combating what they're doing. We just can't be passive, can we? Just by. Just by us being there doesn't mean that this Thing's not going. They're not going to try to get roll up US Citizens. We're just not a signatory. Correct.
Noor Bin Laden
That's an absolute critical point you just made, Steve, and this is why I mentioned it yesterday. But I'm going to reiterate this point because it's so important. You guys in the United States of America need to ask President Trump and the Trump administration to reject the amendments to the international health regulations that were adopted at last year's World Health Assembly. And you have until July 19th to reject those amendments, which are actually the legal, which is the legal instrument that the WHO is using to put that noose that you've described.
Alex Jones
Okay, you just answered my question. Okay, so here's what we need to do. This is one of the things we're going to have to get up on the ramparts. I need. We're going to get you back. And I want to take. And maybe I do a six o' clock show. I got a little more time to go through this and maybe we do that for next week, but I want to take like an hour and I want to go through exactly what it is. And then we'll obviously weaponize the war and Posse, because we have to go on offense. Step one, which President Trump has done with all the work and all the support of the board, everybody else, Michelle Bachmann, is to tell these people, screw you, we ain't paying for this. This is absurd. We're out. And he's adamant, including not paying these last couple of years. So he's doing that. However, we need to go on offense. And going on offense, you're saying step one is to make sure that the United States comes out and says we're not party to the amendments. Right. That not only that we're going to sign them, but they have no jurisdiction over the United States. Is that what it is?
Noor Bin Laden
Exactly. And I mean, there are so many resources and this is the job that my friend Nick and I did with the website, we heard others.com to put all of these resources. But specifically, specifically when it comes to the question of these amendments and the importance to reject them by the deadline of July 19, there is one specific website that James Rogusky has put together, which is reject the amendments.com and that's the one website the posse needs to go to in order to educate and, and understand what is at stake here.
Alex Jones
So we're going to put it all up. What's your. What's all the. Where did they go for you? And social media. I'm working with you over the weekend. We'll get you back next week. We're going to up and make sure that by July 9th, no later than July 19th, the United States has rejected these and that's step one of going on offense. You got to go on offense against these people. Otherwise, if you pass with a crusher, where do people go nor to get you?
Noor Bin Laden
Norbanladen.subsyc.com, norban Laddin on Twitter. And once more with regards to the who we heard others.com.
Alex Jones
Perfect. Noor bin Laden, an audience favorite, I might add. Thank you so much, man. Appreciate you.
Noor Bin Laden
Thank you. I love the posse. Always great to be with you guys.

Podcast Summary: Bannon's War Room – Episode 4505: Hostage Situation In The FBI; Exclusive With Russ Vought Release Date: May 22, 2025
In Episode 4505 of Bannon's War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon engages in intense discussions with notable figures including Alex Jones, Dan Bongino, Cash Patel, and an exclusive interview with Russ Vought from the White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The episode delves into a myriad of pressing issues ranging from government corruption, the handling of high-profile cases, legislative battles, and the ongoing struggle against what they describe as the "deep state."
The episode opens with a heated debate over the circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death.
Steve Bannon asserts, "He killed himself. Again, you want me to get. I've seen the whole file. He killed himself." (00:55)
Alex Jones challenges the official narrative, stating, "You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don't believe it." (00:55)
Cash Patel reinforces the suicide claim based on his legal background: "A suicide when you see one. And that's what that was." (01:01)
The dialogue underscores a deep skepticism among the hosts regarding the official account, suggesting potential cover-ups or ulterior motives within federal agencies.
A significant portion of the conversation revolves around the concept of a "deep state"—a clandestine network within government agencies purportedly working against elected officials and the nation's interests.
Alex Jones refers to it as a "Praetorian Guard" and emphasizes its entrenched nature within various departments like the DoD, CIA, DOJ, FBI, DHS, and HHS (08:56).
Stephen K. Bannon elaborates on alleged betrayals and cover-ups by the FBI, mentioning efforts to indict high-profile individuals and his personal experiences with targeted harassment: "I was sent by the FBI... declared me a top national security threat." (18:43)
The hosts argue that this deep state actively works to undermine the current administration and suppress dissenting voices, portraying it as an existential threat to the Republic.
The discussion transitions to the current political and economic landscape, highlighting legislative efforts and economic strategies.
Stephen K. Bannon praises President Trump's achievements in ending globalist policies, securing borders, and initiating trade reforms: "On the broad strokes of policy, winning the trade war, ending our long surrender to the globalist system..." (04:54)
The conversation touches upon a significant legislative bill, referred to as the "big beautiful bill," encompassing $170 billion aimed at deporting illegal aliens and addressing constitutional crises: "We've got to go through it... It's gonna take a serious war..." (02:15)
Dan Bongino further explains the legislative strategy, emphasizing mandatory savings and fiscal responsibility: "This bill has nearly $2 trillion by all the as the scores get updated..." (30:16)
The episode addresses ongoing efforts to suppress and shut down Alex Jones' platforms.
Alex Jones discusses legal battles and injunctions aimed at silencing his broadcasts, expressing determination to continue disseminating information: "They're trying to shut us down... We're just fighting and we are pushing the truth out." (25:34)
Stephen K. Bannon provides updates on legal actions against Infowars, highlighting perceived government overreach and bias: "They're going to come for Tucker Carlson, then we're going to get Trump... It's an absolute must to push everything we do like it's a war." (29:55)
This segment underscores the hosts' belief in a coordinated media crackdown against alternative news outlets and outspoken figures.
A substantial part of the episode is dedicated to discussing a pivotal legislative bill pushing through Congress.
Dan Bongino describes the bill as a "procedural device" to bypass Senate filibusters, focusing on mandatory savings to reduce the deficit: "This bill will reduce the deficit and will help us with our debt." (30:16)
Alex Jones analyzes the bill's components and its reception in the bond market, questioning its long-term effectiveness: "The tariffs are going to be at least a couple of hundred billion dollars... we got a big beautiful bill but it's not comprehensive." (32:46)
Stephen K. Bannon advocates for aggressive measures to combat government overreach, suggesting substantial funding for anti-deep state initiatives: "How about $10 billion? I'm $20 billion. I mean this would be the best money we ever spent." (18:43)
The hosts emphasize the bill's importance in funding efforts to dismantle the deep state and enforce fiscal discipline.
An exclusive segment features Noor Bin Laden discussing the United States' withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) and its implications.
Noor Bin Laden explains the complexities of the WHO's pandemic agreement and the ongoing efforts to finalize its annex: "Once that gets proposed, and there are 60 ratifications, 60 signatures, then that will come in effect. But by then, the United States of America won't be a part of the WHO." (46:23)
Alex Jones raises concerns about the potential global ramifications despite the US withdrawal, prompting Noor to stress the importance of rejecting specific amendments: "We have to get more aggressive in combating what they're doing... we're just not a signatory." (48:42)
The discussion highlights fears of continued globalist influence through imposed regulations, despite official exits from international bodies.
As the episode nears its end, the hosts reiterate the urgency of their mission to combat perceived deep state influences and globalist agendas.
Stephen K. Bannon calls for a united front to support President Trump, emphasizing the critical nature of ongoing battles: "This is an absolute death battle beyond existential. Are all of our futures hanging the balance?" (20:34)
Alex Jones urges listeners to take immediate action, leveraging social media and grassroots efforts to resist governmental overreach: "We need to go on offense... We're the good guys. We're fighting the tyrants." (24:53)
The episode concludes with motivational remarks encouraging proactive engagement and steadfast support for the administration's objectives.
Steve Bannon: "He killed himself. Again, you want me to get. I've seen the whole file. He killed himself." (00:55)
Alex Jones: "It's an absolute death battle beyond existential. Are all of our futures hanging the balance?" (20:34)
Dan Bongino: "This bill will reduce the deficit and will help us with our debt." (30:16)
Noor Bin Laden: "The United States of America won't be a part of the WHO... so technically, the US shouldn't be impacted by the pandemic." (48:42)
Episode 4505 of Bannon's War Room presents a robust examination of current political tensions, highlighting allegations of deep state conspiracies, legislative strategies to curb government overreach, and challenges faced by alternative media outlets. Through passionate dialogue and strategic discussions, the hosts aim to rally their audience towards collective action against perceived systemic threats, advocating for transparency, national sovereignty, and fiscal responsibility.
