Loading summary
Steve Bannon
Supreme Court ruled today that the administration can move forward to fire tens of.
Natalie Winters
Thousands of federal employees.
Steve Bannon
A, how significant is that? And B, does the administration still want.
Natalie Winters
To do that now that we're living.
Steve Bannon
In a post Elon Musk supercharged Doge era? So on the first part about how significant it is for the Supreme Court, it's absolutely significant. This is the latest case that the Supreme Court has handed even more present or more power to the president and the administrator and the executive branch. We are seeing a theme not only in Congress handing over power to the executive branch, but the supreme, but the Supreme Court as well. And this is exactly what Donald Trump and his administration were planning for and hoping for when they were making very, very aggressive moves that they knew that they were going to be sued over, that the Supreme Court was going to come down on their side now. And it's just for now. So we'll see what happens in the future. There's probably going to be additional suits, especially if they act outside the bounds of the law, which is what Justice Sotomayor and Elena Kagan said. But do they still want to do this? It seems absolutely that the White House and Donald Trump still wants to make some massive changes to the federal government. You know, he said, I think it was today where he, if he was in charge of Doge, he would have done things differently. Well, the administration has not made any indication that they want to reverse a lot of these cuts. And Congress in the next couple of weeks is going to vote on a $9 billion package to rescind some of these cuts, including USAID stuff.
Natalie Winters
And speaking of government cuts, the State Department will begin mass layoffs of its workforce as early as this morning. Employees were formally notified yesterday that dismissals would finally begin after months of delays. The mass firings are a part of a reorganization of the agency that includes closing or merging more than 300 bureaus and offices. The plan was unveiled by Secretary of State Marco Rubio back in May. He called his department bloated and said the changes would better align it with core American values and root out pockets of radical political ideology. The Supreme Court cleared the way for the cuts earlier this week after overturning a lower court decision that had blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with the layoffs. I have this presentation I'm working on that'll be up tomorrow. This is a placeholder. I'm just going to say what it is. The 2008 plea deal review that was done by the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility can answer publicly once and for all the question that is hung over the Epstein case for the since 2019 as to whether or not the Vicky Ward story about Epstein belonged to intelligence, or at least that Alex Acosta, the then Justice Department official who gave the sweetheart deal to Epstein in 2008, was, quote, told to back off of Epstein because he belonged to intelligence and it was above his pay grade. The question about whether or not Vicky Ward's reporting was accurate has been a giant mystery that's hung over this. There are two separate lines of inquiry about the intelligence question. One is, was Jeffrey EPSTEIN Working with U.S. and or foreign intelligence agencies? And two, if yes, do that influence in any way the pro. The course of prosecutions of Epstein while.
Steve Bannon
He was carrying on these activities for so long?
Natalie Winters
I tell you, I know for a fact documents are being suppressed, and they're being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names of the individuals. I know why they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them. But I'm bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases, and I can't disclose what I know. But I pan to God. I know. I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them. And that's wrong. Just out of curiosity, without names are these politicians, business leaders, both. They're everything. And let me tell you, a lot of them are. At least one of them is somebody who was accused. Others are accusers. And the judges have said if somebody calls themselves a victim, a victim, we're not gonna give any information about them. But they may not be victims, they may be perpetrators. So we don't have information about false accusers. And we know there have been many false accusers who have accused innocent people for money. And those records are being deliberately, willfully suppressed. And they shouldn't be suppressed. If the accusation is allowed out, so should the material that diminishes the credibility of the accuser. We want total transparency on this. Every single document. No redaction. That's what I've said from day one. I waive any of my rights to privacy. Anything there is about me, I'm happy because it will be exculpatory, because I know I haven't touched a woman other than my wife from the day I met Jeffrey Epstein. I don't even hug people. But I was falsely accused and I was able to prove it, and I was able to prove it through documents. And I want other people to be able to disprove false accusations through documents. But these documents are being suppressed and withheld. Yeah, I think this is a really important point. First of all, that quote is a remarkable quote from Marco Rubio, formerly not.
Steve Bannon
Only an establishment type Republican, but a.
Natalie Winters
Huge proponent of diplomacy and American soft.
Steve Bannon
Power around the world. You know, the flip flop by Marco Rubio is one of the more dramatic, if underappreciated stories in Trump 2.0. And you know, that quote, what does it do? It underscores the idea that it's not just a kind of an inward looking.
Natalie Winters
Isolationist foreign policy that the Trump administration.
Steve Bannon
Is pursuing right now, Jonathan, but it's.
Natalie Winters
Actually a war against radical political ideology.
Steve Bannon
It's. That's the enemy within. This is a modern day version essentially of a kind of McCarthy ism that you're seeing.
Natalie Winters
Remember that one of McCarthy's main targets was enemies, as he called them, within the State Department, who were somehow disloyal. And so that language, to me, especially.
Steve Bannon
At the State Department, I mean, that's a historical echo that Marco Rubio had to have been conscious of when he used that phrase. And he, of course, is parroting Donald.
Natalie Winters
Trump himself, who I think in one.
Steve Bannon
Of the most, you know, sort of.
Natalie Winters
Overlooked statements before the 2024 election, Trump.
Steve Bannon
Gave an interview in which he said, yeah, you know, we have adversaries. We have Russia and China internationally, but then we have the enemy from within. And of those, the enemy from within is the greater enemy. And I think this administration isn't so much focused on countering adversaries overseas as it is in a series of loyalty purges from within.
Natalie Winters
We just heard those horrifying statist about fema and not only the vacancies there, but the idea that the Secretary of Homeland Security would want to be personally signing off on minor decisions because they.
Steve Bannon
Don'T trust federal government employees.
Natalie Winters
But of course, Russia and China have radically expanded their presence overseas in countries around the world in order to counter the United States and its soft power.
Steve Bannon
So this is like an own goal.
Natalie Winters
Once again, this is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. Christians, I 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. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is My purpose. If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War room here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. It's Friday the 11th of July, year of our Lord 2025. We're here at the Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida, the turning point. And I am officially today a rose between two thorns. We have Natalie Winters. Thank you.
Steve Bannon
When I first met you, that was the first thing you ever said to me.
Natalie Winters
He asked us to stand here so we know normally Natalie's in the middle, but hey.
Steve Bannon
Well I'm fresh off my cruise. Last night's show.
Natalie Winters
Last night's show. Fantastic. Yeah that was great. Great going rav. We had her out on the balcony with a palm tree. No, it's fantastic. No Soros money. It was a great show. Let's. They're trying to throw our beads. I don't know what was up with that. Oh, we're going live to. Let's go to Brian Glenn. Brian Glenn's about to get on Air Force One. He's at Andrews Air Force Base to travel with the president United States to Kerrville, Texas. The president is going to get a hands on brief today and a walk around to see the devastation and the tragedy in Kerrville. Brian Glenn, what do you got for us brother? Hey Steve. Well we're on our way down to south central super east flooded area now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. We're going to try to get. The engines are okay, we're right there. Let's just, just go. Let's just kill the sound and keep the shot. I want to keep that shot. Is that. That's Marine One there. Keep the shot. Marine One. Let's go full screen. I'm a direct here. Full screen would be a full screen. There we go. Okay, there's a full screen Marine One. I don't think the president's exited yet. Is this the staff one or is this Marine One? I don't know. Somebody's high and tight there with a couple of salutes so we'll find out anyway. Andrews Air Force Base right there. The President United States going to leave momentarily for going to leave momentarily for. For Kerrville Texas and we're going to cover this our own Brian Glenn. Real America's voice is is is there at Andrew's going to be Air Force One. Let's go to. And don't show the shot. I want to keep right here. Maybe just do a box. Let's go to Ben Berkwom is with us in Tampa. Ben, what will the president, what will the president see Today when he goes and sees the devastation in at that just incredible biblical level flood, sir. Well, just first off, heartbreak, Steve. This is a small community that's been absolutely devastated. And not just Kerrville. You've got Comfort downriver, you've got Horn, you've got Ingram. All of these communities and all of the tributaries off of the river. It's that whole area, the hill country of Texas has just been devastated. And we finally, you know, we were down there from day one. We're over 120 deaths. We finally got the number of missing 170. But the unknowns are still unknown. It's absolutely devastating. Hang on. This must be. Not the staff. This must be the president himself. Right. You got the military escort. We'll have to say, I think this is the president's Marine One itself. President will be exiting in a moment. Ben, Some of the briefings last couple of days have not been the best. Right. Clearly they don't want to talk about the process they had down there. They're saying it's too early. But at some point. Is that the president? There's the president. United States. Nope. Gotta get better glasses or Brian Glenn's gotta give me a heads up. Okay. There's Marine One. Ben, are they gonna do. Who will actually brief? It will be Abbott in that team or Kristi Noem. I guess Kristi Noem should be there. Who do you think will be down there? Because some of the local. Some of the locals briefing and some of the Texas Authority. We've gotten conflicting information virtually every day. Sir. Yeah, yeah, he'll get a brief. Hold on, hold on, hang on. There's the president exiting right now. President Trump at Andrews Air Force Base. Thank you. Rev. We're gonna blow the brake. Thank you, First Lady. I think it's very important the first lady is going down there, particularly given the tragedy with the children. Yeah. Horrible. Yeah. 36 kids so far that we know of. We're still five missing from Mystic. Correct. The camp and one counselor, I believe. Yep, Yep. And again, unknown numbers that are still missing. And he'll get a brief from the locals. He'll get a brief from emergency management, the state level and then also from the federal level. We're going to hang here. The media, I think with Brian Glenn is outside. Normally you see the president goes up or just enters Air Force One. Susie. SUSIE Wall CHIEF of Staff President not going to take any questions. He and the first lady. So they're going to get on with this. You know, the president means business. I don't think he had his tie on. Right. That's when he's in business mode. President going to get on Air Force One. So it's what, a two and a half, three hour trip in headwinds. Three hour trip in headwinds. They're an hour behind us. So hopefully Charlie Kirk will pick that up on the Charlie Kirk show. President waving to the audience now the media will jump in the back, the back way. Suzy Wiles, all of it. Ben Berkwam, what can the president anticipate? I mean, it's, it they're now in a recovery. I want to add too, that yesterday when we heard it two days ago, they told us there had not been a live, this is the power of that, there had not been a live rescue since Friday morning. Right. That was the power. That was the power of that, of that flood. Ben Berkwam, your thoughts as the president gets ready to depart Andrews Air Force Base? Well, yeah, unfortunately, everything is recovery now. So everything he's going to see, the devastation he's going to see. And there's some areas that they've done an initial sweep on, but as those water levels drop, they're getting access to more of the debris and basically they're, they're digging through debris, following the smell to find the bodies. It's, it's terrific. It's absolutely what is this controversy post? So you actually didn't break it, but you promoted it and made it a national story about what happened in Texas with the air assets from the fire brigade, all of that. What is, how big a deal is that? Well, there was a story, it was very small when it first came out on a Facebook post from the Austin Fire association saying that they had held their, their tongue for too long and finally they were waiting for recovery ops to get through, but that they had had a request put up that ran up the chain in Austin there, which has one of the largest fire departments in that part of Texas, some of the best trained rescue swimmers and rescue boats and the Swiftwater techs. And they said we had put in a request on July 2, two days before the flood, to deploy, which was denied by the fire chief up there. And then we started looking into this fire chief Steve, and he's as DEI as they come. This guy is a DEI hire for diversity purposes. Why did they, why did they not, why did they not do it? They know he claimed that they had a standing order against deployments because of budgetary issues, even though the state had come in and said they would backfill and now there's also an issue about, about FEMA and about Kristi Noem. We got to get to that. Maybe tomorrow or maybe this afternoon about, for cost cutting. She says everything over $100,000 she has to approve. And there's some debate about certain equipment or certain resources that were held up for FEMA over the weekend because they hadn't, they didn't get to it till Monday. So we have to get that. We're going to. The left is going to try to take every shot at President Trump, the National Weather Service, the cuts, all of it. And so we've got to be, we've definitely got to get ahead of this because you can tell they're trying to politicize this. They're trying to. It's not political from the Austin standpoint because this is the actual Austin firefighters themselves and this is their union president coming up. And he's not Republican, he's not Democrat. He's just been a firefighter and he himself is a swiftwater tech. And he said, this is exactly what we trained for because back in the 80s, the exact same tragedy took place the same river.
Steve Bannon
Well, I'd also add to all this uproar, right. The idea that, oh, we're not politicizing it. They have politicized flood response, frankly, the domestic priorities of this country for decades, even if you just look under Joe Biden, I mean, so much as you recall from the North Carolina floods, flood response, emergency management response, actual equipment, flood technology, stuff like that was shipped over to Ukraine. And you have so many towns across Texas that don't even have basic rudimentary flood alert systems. So they've politicized Berkwom.
Natalie Winters
You can, you can back that statement up, right? Well, you saw in North Carolina and Tennessee, that stuff has gone to Ukraine and then. And they purposely held stuff back from the citizens there. Well, yeah. What was insane about that, Helene? North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, I went several months afterwards even, and, and there were areas that looked like it had happened the day before. I mean, it was just dismal, the response. And to think that we were spending billions of dollars on foreign countries while our own citizens were left to die. The FEMA situation was so bad, not sending them anything to live in and stuff like that. This is where President Trump got said, hey, we're out of fema. Let's get it back to the states. Yeah, even worse, Steve, they had the trailers for them to live in. They didn't even deploy them to let them live in them. So when we finally did they were all empty. So everything they did under Biden was an absolute disaster. And even to this day, they're still rebuilding, they're still digging through the debris. There's still hundreds that are missing. It's, it's criminal. It's criminal. And we're talking about investigations. I know we're going to be talking a lot about that on other topics later. No, we still need investors. Well, hang on. So we're gonna get to the Epstein intel, all the Mike Benz part of it we got. But I want to get. Well, I got you. I want to go to your beloved state, California. What, yesterday.
Steve Bannon
Project that on.
Natalie Winters
No, it shows you how far in your journey, how far you've come. Present. And now the Newsom this morning called the President. I state, by the way, if we get the Air Force One leaving, let's take that shot. The. They're back and forth between the President, Newsom, what happened? You're saying if we have that tape, can we play it? What happened in the marijuana fields with the child trafficking for labor? Yeah. What is the situation? What's the situation out there? The illegals have been crossing into California for decades after amnesty under Reagan, basically, they had a free ride. You've got all of these businesses, you've got all of these, these farmers and ranchers. And now you've got the, the drug industry because they've legalized marijuana in California, basically, they've legalized trafficking. So they're trying to make it out like ICE are the bad guys. ICE are going in there and actually saving kids, taking kids out of human trafficking. They've been trafficked up to work at these, these pot farms. And you've got the left out there attacking ICE for it. It's, it's insane. So Steve. And there's Air Force One taking off. So, so ICE conducts this massive raid. It's actually two farms. And protesters from Antifa and others came in to try to block the raids. I guess they got tipped off to it somehow from their network. So you're seeing the hold on hold. They're getting tipped off inside, inside, inside the apparatus. This is Homeland Security. And this is why you can't coordinate with local law enforcement, because local law enforcement is, is riddled with informants that are given the other side. So they got out there. By the time they get out there, they got a whole Praetorian guard of these, of these Protestants. And what we need to add though is that one of these guys came armed and took pot shots at the Ice age. One pot shots. He Was firing. He's firing.
Steve Bannon
I'd also add, too right. Representative priority. Pramila Jayapal, who we've documented extensively how she's been collaborating with Harvard, taking taxpayer funds to do these sort of resistance type training programs she's now calling for basically to attack ICE officers, saying that she's inspired when she sees people carry out these terrorist attacks. And I think when you link it back to everything we've been talking about, right.
Natalie Winters
How we've seen USAID and State Department.
Steve Bannon
Officials openly admitting that they're trying to sabotage President Trump. It's out in the open.
Natalie Winters
It's what they're doing. As soon as we get that video, can we. When after Air Force One leaves, we ought to put it up. Yep. But Steve, it. What Newsom said is so egregious because Newsom comes out there, he says, you can't be coming in with these raids. You can't be doing. They launched some tear gas after the shots were fired, so you can't be doing tear grass. He says, hey, there's children down there. There's children down there. And then everybody starts responding. Said, of course there's children there because they're child traffickers and they're trafficking children.
Steve Bannon
Amen.
Natalie Winters
And ICE is the one going in there on Trump's orders to save him. Amen. Amen.
Steve Bannon
We got some war room posy I think we need to show.
Natalie Winters
What do you say, folks? Should we save the children? Hold it. I am. I am shocked. I thought only VIPs were in here at 10 o'. Clock. The POS. VIP. This is VIP. Yo. What a motley posse. Very important posse. Okay, hang on for a second while we do this. I got Marco Corian because Axios led the last two days, actually. This has had the story. And this is Charlie Kirk. I'm gonna do a hard handover with Charlie today at noon. Charlie Kirk, Jack Posobic. Real America's voice. War room. We pounded down when they ran up the flagpole. Amnesty, right? The A word. No amnesty. Mass deportations now. Amnesty, Never. That's right. That's really simple, Steve. No amnesty. Not a single illegal should be allowed to stay in our country that's been let into our country illegally. So we're putting them on amnesty watch now. Hang on, hang on.
Steve Bannon
Citizen arrest, citizen deportation.
Natalie Winters
Deportation. About that. Say about c. Talk about. Yeah. So Cesar Chavez, the hero of the left when it comes to illegal immigration, he actually had a gang of guys that would go and catch illegals coming across the border. They would beat them and they would Deport them back to Mexico. That's Cesar Chavez's real legacy. They don't want you to know that he didn't want illegals coming into our country. And now you've got the same people celebrating him as this hero that if you want to do what Caesar Chavez did, we'll start citizen deportation. Caesar was not a hero to them on immigration. He was a hero to them about farm labor. About farm labor getting a decent wage. And he said, day one, if you allow all these illegal immigrants to come in here versus people that are here legally. That's right. They will never be able to remember they had the great back in the 60s. I know some of you are not.
Steve Bannon
Old enough to remember the populism of AOC and Bernie. Right.
Natalie Winters
They won't touch it.
Steve Bannon
They won't touch illegal immigration.
Natalie Winters
Well, but Caesar did because he said, hey, it was grape pickers, lettuce pickers. And they had a. Had a big revolt. He actually got a Navy ship turned. There's Air Force One leaving. No, Jack. Posoba, what's in my ear. Is that the Qatari plane? No, Jack, that is not the. No, not yet. That is not the guitar. There's a Qatari planes be taken apart, you know, rivet by rivet. It's still not. It's still not the original, though. They're still. They still got the other one out. Yeah. Okay, there we go. President's wheels up. So. So let's. Brian Glenn is with him going to Kerrville, Texas. Can I just juxtapose this for a second? You got. President Trump is going up there now with the first lady. Is a working day. This is Friday. There's a work. Every day is a working day in the Trump presidency. But he has taken time out of his day to go and stand with the people who have lost everything. Yes. And these Democrats, they're standing with the child traffickers in the cannabis farms of California, and every single farm that gets hit, they're finding more and more children. To her point, they're backing up people actually attacking them now with firearms. Right. They took shots yesterday. They want blood. They want. That's what the Axios P said. They said they want blood. Who was a they? Them. So choose your term.
Steve Bannon
But that, yeah, we got to be.
Natalie Winters
Problematic here in the war room.
Steve Bannon
But Representative Jayapal had partnered with her.
Natalie Winters
Whole sort of modus operandi.
Steve Bannon
Her canon of work was in terrorism studies, and that he was advising the Democratic Party on how to stage and wage their resistance against President Trump. This is not democracy rhetoric this is kinetic.
Natalie Winters
Okay, so Axios had amnesty. Charlie Kirk leading at the turning point on his show with Bosovic and ourselves in War room. The War room posse. Beat that down. Now. Access reporting. Okay, there's certain people around the president that are coming up with Amnesty Light. Right? The Amnesty light.
Steve Bannon
We need a louder boo.
Natalie Winters
Yeah. What do you guys think about that? Who wants amnesty? Any amnesty. Any amnesty at all? Is there. Is there anyone out here who voted for amnesty? Okay, Hangers, let's bring in Mark Kakorian. Let's bring in Mark Kakorian. It's early. See, they're just here to Tampa after tonight. Tomorrow morning they'll be. They'll be hyped after a wild night in Tampa. Mark Kakorian, you recorded in the Axio story. Walk our audience through here and throughout the nation. And what is Amnesty Light and why do we have to be wary of it, sir? Well, I mean, amnesty is. Amnesty is letting illegal immigrants stay is amnesty. There are, you know, this Amnesty Light, where you get a work permit is. I like to call it Amnesty Premium, where you get a green card. But the point is, they're illegal immigrants and they get to stay. And if you're gonna do it, just own it. I'm frankly kind of a boomer. Squish among immigration restrictionists on amnesty. I'm at least willing at some point down the road, after we fix this problem, to consider it. But the administration's only been in office for six months. We haven't fixed this problem yet. We've had a good start. No question about it. But that's all it is. This is literally just the start of the process. 10 million. 10 million illegal alien invaders, at least on Biden's watch. Mark Green says 13 million. Trump says 21 million. Don't we have to deport mass deportations for all, not just the bad hombres. All of them have to be deported. Right. And then we can have discussions about what happens after that. Yeah, and this is the problem I have with all of the talk about the criminals. And obviously, there's a lot of illegal alien criminals. They all need to go. But most illegal immigrants are just regular working stiffs. They've considered committed all kinds of crimes, I.D. theft, tax fraud, everything. But they're not violent people. But the point is, they gotta go. Biden illegally let them in. We got rid of Biden. Here's the pitch. And now we have to get rid of the people. Yeah, the pitch they lay out in Axios. If someone's been here for 10 years, right. And has no criminal record. They're going to work on some way they can stay. Do you guys approve of that? You approve of that? Did you vote for that?
Steve Bannon
I was promised retribution. I don't know about you guys.
Natalie Winters
Is that the plan they're trying to. Yes. There are some people talking about that. And the fact is. Why are we even talking about it? Because the point, the goal of the administration isn't just to deport everybody because there's only so many people ICE can take into custody and remove. They're hoping for being able to get people to leave on their own as well, which is how it worked when Eisenhower did this more. Most of the illegals who left left on their own. That's not going to happen. If you're talking about, well, maybe we'll let you stay. Maybe we'll give you a green card and a Social Security number. Who. Why would anybody leave if that's what they're hearing in the news? Absolutely. Yeah.
Steve Bannon
I have a question, too. I think it's regrettable that we even have to sort of solidify that the goalpost should be no amnesty. But particularly on the legal immigration front, obviously, we're very anti H1B visa here in the war room. They announced tens of thousands of more for the preceding fiscal year. I'm just curious where we stand on sort of reforming the legal immigration front. Is it similarly watered down or do you see any promising moves there?
Natalie Winters
Well, I haven't seen much promising yet, quite frankly. Now, a lot of the things Congress is going to have to do, and Congress is, you know, so narrowly split and the Democrats won't agree to anything. There are some administrative things they need to do more. We got it. We got a fire up on Congress. We're going to take a short commercial break here. I want to thank the folks at Birch School for sponsoring us. Take out your phone. Text Bannon 989-898. Get the ultimate guide for investing in Gold and Precious Metals in the Age of Trump. We're going to take a short commercial break and keep Mark A. Corian around. Dan Caldwood's going to join us. We're also going to talk about the the only solution for Epstein right now. And you had Dershowitz in our cold open, who happens to be Epstein's lawyer, and says there is a list. There's only one solution. And I'll throw that to my colleagues in Berquam and Jane when we get back. You must appoint a special prosecutor immediately. That special prosecutor. Right. Who wants a special prosecutor on Epstein. You have to do it. You have to do it. DOJ and FBI love those guys, but they can't. No possibility they can do it. Too busy. Okay, short commercial break. Marco Corian, Dan Caldwell, the team here at the war room and discussion in depth about Mike Ben's intelligence and a special prosecutor next in the war room. This July there is a global summit of BRICS nations. In Rio de Janeiro, the bloc 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 in your savings. While this transition won't not happen overnight, but trust me, it's going to start in Rio.

You probably know that for years they've stood in the gap for every American who believes in faith, family and freedom. So here's the question. Have you switched to Patriot Mobile yet? You'll get exceptional nationwide coverage because unlike most cell phone service providers, Patriot mobile utilizes all three major U.S. networks.

That much water that fast without a dam break. You'd think a dam would have to break to have it. So it's a terrible thing. But we're going to be there with some of the great families and others. The governor, everybody going to be there. Do you plan to talk to the president about the tariffs? Maybe at some point. I'll talk to him. Right now. I'm not. They're treating President Bolsonaro very unfairly. He's a good man, you know, I know him well. I negotiated with him. He was a very tough negotiator. And I can tell you he was a very honest man. And he loved the people of Brazil. He was a very tough guy to negotiate with. I shouldn't like him because he was very tough in negotiation, but he was also very honest. And I know the honest ones and I know the crooked ones. We're gonna see. It was sent yesterday. They called. I think it was fairly well received. What we need. So we'll see what happens. I know you'll be. You'll be seeing things happen. Now that you will go to Texas, Are you planning on delivering any type of help for undocumented families that lost everything in Jewish children? I think we've done very well on immigration. We were given a very bad hand by Biden. He allowed 25 million people to come in totally unchecked, unvetted. We're getting the criminals out, and we're getting them out fast. The courts have ultimately done the right thing. Amazingly, they've really done the right thing. And they understand it's really the survival of our country. It's a very important thing. We can't have like 11,888 murderers. And you know something that you should have that you haven't reported? As you know, 300,000 children are missing, right? 300,000 under Biden. We've already gotten back 10,000 of those children. And we have a lot more planned to come back. We're getting them back by the thousand, but 300,000 and we as of this morning, over 10,000 we've gotten back. What is your advice for countries worldwide ahead of the upcoming tariff deadline? Oh, I think just keep working hard. You know, we've been taken advantage of for many, many years by countries both. Both friend and foe. And frankly, the friends have been worse than the foes in many cases. So I would say just keep working. It's all going to work out. I think he's doing a terrible job. I think we should be. No, I think we should be three points lower interest rate. He's costing our country a lot of money. We should be number one, and we're not. And that's because of Jerome Powell. In terms of interest, we are number one in the world. Look, I'll tell you a little simple language. One year ago, our country was a dead country. We were going nowhere except down. We were the laughingstock all over the world. And now we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. We're number one everywhere. Anywhere in the world. And that's all they're talking about, is our country one year ago is a dead country. Now. It's the hottest country anywhere in the world. Okay. I might add. I just want to say this. He did not get one question on Jeffrey Epstein. And the President will take that. He will take that. That, you know, move on. I'm just saying we're not going to stop. I know that Jeffrey Epstein around here should be folks. No, I got that. But I'm saying in his perception, and perception, as you know, goes a long way to reality here. So I'm just.
Steve Bannon
That was why they put new media.
Natalie Winters
They asked 10. They asked 10 questions there and not one question. I didn't love the answer, and I don't love this answer about Kakorian come back in market. According to cis, the President once again caveats by saying, we got to get the bad hombres out. We got to get the criminals out. That's code for I'm going to get the criminals out. And then we're going to have, you know, some discussion. Right. I don't think it is no amnesty. Mass deportations. Mass deportations means mass deportations, not a couple of hundred thousand criminals. Right. And I think this is where we're getting. You can see we're gonna get jammed up into this area. Is that your concern? Absolutely it is. Absolutely it is. Because saying that you want to deport criminals isn't easy. It's almost a cop out. Of course you want to deport criminals. I mean, who doesn't? It's kind of like the old joke, was it Chris Rock or somebody who said, you know, you bring your kid up, right, It's. And you boast about it. And he said, what, you want a cookie for that? That's what you're supposed to do. Of course we deport the criminals, but there's two things here. First of all, if you want people to self deport, you gotta deport regular people, too, so that ordinary illegal immigrants understand that the party's over, it's time to pack up the kids and go back. And the other thing is, what is a criminal? Are we talking just rapists and murderers? They're terrible. Obviously. Get rid of all of them. But what about people who've stolen the IDs of American children and messed up their ability to get a college loan or even their medical care has been compromised? Are those people criminals? Sure. What about tax thieves? What about illegally? As the audience says, aren't they a criminal? Mark Kirkorian, you're the expert. If you came in here illegally, are you a criminal? I realize it's a misdemeanor, not quite a felony, but hey, I went to Danbury Prison for four months on a misdemeanor, right? So people go to jail for misdemeanors.
Steve Bannon
If I could just jump in, I think that there's also a big issue with these corporations that are getting passes for hiring illegals we just saw yesterday. You know, no one's to talk about the fact that you brought it up, Jack, that there are kids literally at a pot farm. Well, that's not the first time that corporations have been busted for hiring migrant children. Purdue and Tyson Chicken Farm actually got caught doing it. And yet Congress will not make a peep about it. They don't want to increase the sentencing or the penalties for these corporations. So it's like it's a multifaceted approach. Anyone that tells you that, oh, well, we have to let these people in, but I will tell you that it actually is a dog whistle to signal more people to come here legally. And it hurts people on both sides. It hurts the people that are coming here. They're working under the table. They're taking advantage of. So it's not this American dream story that they're trying to chalk up and serve to you. It's a lot actually more sinister than that.
Natalie Winters
Talk about Natalie just brought up in the last segment about Congress and Kirkoran said, hey, look, the executive orders, these kind of things have a limit. We talk about the H2A visa. You talked about the H1B visas. Congress is going to have to act. Is there any impetus inside at least the Republican caucus to take hard action on this to start to limit actually that we have 12 million STEM workers, 12 million tech workers out of work here in the United States looking for work and each corporation is trying to max out. I think there's 167,000 H1B visas issued this year. Is there any movement in Congress at all against the lobbyists to try to even enforce things on legal immigration?
Steve Bannon
Realistically, no. And I'll tell you that there's actually members of Congress on the Republican side that actually are pushing for amnesty. And I actually was at a dinner conversation with a, unfortunately a very liberal neocon senator. I don't think I need to say their name, but they were actually Lindsey Graham. But they were saying that under no way, shape or form would there be ever. And this is always interesting because they say that border, border and immigration are the same thing. They're not. These are two separate issues. But they wouldn't pass anything on border security if it didn't have amnesty. And I'm thinking. Are you listening?
Natalie Winters
Paul has stopped. They said they wouldn't have passed anything on border security if they didn't know amnesty was, was coming.
Steve Bannon
No, if they didn't have a solution for giving full amnesty.
Natalie Winters
What you just. The Senate bill you guys passed, I think with $80 billion in for deportations and for. And for the border security. The Senate bill was $170 billion. Isn't that enough to not just secure the border, but to start to get millions do mass deportations? When they talk to you about the program of the use of proceeds of that money, what are they telling members of Congress?
Steve Bannon
I will tell you that right now I'm not too hopeful that there's actually going to be something to be more aggressive in codifying any of that stuff. But what I will tell you is they're saying it's going to help to with tech, it's going to help with hiring more agents, etc. But at the same time that this is happening, remember they're also not wanting to take aggressive stance in investigating some of the people that are bankrolling these mass immigration, illegal immigration, the NGOs and NGOs. And I think that the NGOs are the biggest problem. So I actually was following data Republican on X. I'm sure you guys all know who she is and she was actually on that flat that flagged that Neville Singham was the one that was actually bankrolling a lot of these, he's the billionaire communist. He's literally directly tied to the ccp. So you have all these, you know, knuckleheads out there waving Mexican flags, thinking that they're helping people, and they're not. They're simply literally using Mexicans the same way that they use black Americans.
Natalie Winters
He's also the big funder. He's in back of the New York City situation with the mayor.
Steve Bannon
He has his hands in a lot of pots. And what I will tell you is that we actually sent a letter asking him to testify to Congress, and we can't deliver the letter. He's literally not accepting the letter. And so I actually have something going out to see if we can freeze assets if he's hiding out in China. Why should we be allowing these people to ignore congressional authority when they're actually knowingly undermining our own. Our own efforts here in the United States? Ushering in Congress communism and then honestly inciting mass rights and violence? That's not normal.
Natalie Winters
Look, you're a firebrand in the House, but is anybody in leadership taking any of this seriously? Are they just reporting to the donors and they hope this just goes away? By the way, this audience right here, are you ever going to back off? No amnesty. So the base here, the base of the party is locked in. No amnesty. No amnesty light, nothing. Right. You need mass deportations. Not just the bad hombre. Mass deportation.
Steve Bannon
I think that there are a lot of people that are unfortunately concerned about reelection. And I would say that this is.
Natalie Winters
Not a winning issue. Isn't a winning issue to dig in hard. You come. You come from one of the toughest districts to win about this.
Steve Bannon
They would. They would say that they don't want put people in tough positions to take hard votes is the constant sentiment. And I will tell you this. This is not just about taking tough votes. It's literally about protecting the sanctity of the election process because you have these people being counted in the census that results in congressional districts. And so it's so much more than that. And so that's why you have to make sure that you are advocating for it to be, you know, more aggressively approached. But then also to leadership. Mike Johnson, I will tell you this to your face, so I don't feel like I'm dragging you on. Steve Bannon, you need to get more aggressive in this approach, period.
Natalie Winters
More aggressive. Let's take a vote right now. How many people in this audience. Let's see a show of hands. Do you want to see ICE raids like we saw Yesterday in California, all across the United States of America.
Steve Bannon
And by the way, let me add in too, ICE officers, a lot of them are Hispanic.
Natalie Winters
Yes.
Steve Bannon
Border patrol. I think over 50% is Hispanic. So you're telling me that Hispanics are now Gestapo? It's. It's literally the biggest BS ever, because we know it's happening to our communities. So to say to want border security or to want these deportations, that it's racist, that's literally bs.
Natalie Winters
Should the president states. Because news is now supporting and pushing. Yesterday they had shots fired at guys. So the President United States consider arresting the neo confederate governor of California, Gavin Newsom.
Steve Bannon
I would say that you guys agree with that.
Natalie Winters
You agree with that.
Steve Bannon
You guys can't hear their chanting. Lock him up. What I will tell you is that, and this is a perfect example, I think that instead of the President doing that, they need to, he needs to make sure that the DOJ is doing their job and they need to open up full fledged investigations. We sent criminal referrals for some of these sanctuary city mayors that should also apply to governors that are not upholding federal law. Okay, so like, first and foremost.
Natalie Winters
Hold on, hang on. You sent criminal referrals to a Justice Department run by the Trump administration. Have those things been sent out?
Steve Bannon
I sent them over and they did not respond.
Natalie Winters
And DOJ has not responded to you. Isn't that kind of shocking? Pam Bondi's from Florida. You're from Florida. You can't. I mean, she's not calling you saying, hey, apl, great idea. I'm gonna do it right away.
Steve Bannon
I think that the Attorney General needs to be very aggressive and I would appreciate a phone call.
Natalie Winters
But they have made no contact with you?
Steve Bannon
No contact.
Natalie Winters
And the criminal referral is for these neo confederate mayors of these sanctuary cities that.
Steve Bannon
You heard them, you heard them. I actually questioned all of them. I went to through their policies in their cities and how it actually undermined federal law and how it was illegal. And I actually was not going to. If they would have answered correctly and said, we reverse this policy. We want to make sure that we're in compliance with the law. I would not have done the criminal referrals, but the ones that answered wrongly, the ones that are breaking the law, deserve to be investigated.
Natalie Winters
Steve, you had another idea for the Department of Justice, right? Department of Justice. You mean the special prosecutor that shouldn't be. Congressman, would you support Steve's idea for his call for a special prosecutor on the Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein case?
Steve Bannon
Yeah. I actually went on record saying that.
Natalie Winters
I would oh, yeah. Okay, hang on. We're taking on the record, folks, special counsel Jeffrey Epps. By the way. By the way, that's not for doj. That special counsel must report directly to the office of the President. DOJ and FBI have got too much on their plate. They've already blown this one. They got to go. Short break. Back with APL in the team next. 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 in your financial future. His latest book, Money GPT, 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. Rickards with an S. Go now and claim your free book. That's Rickards War Room dot com. Do it today. Stephen K. Ban. Yo. They're finally letting the war room posse in here. The VIP tickets. Okay, we're gonna get you guys a second Marcorian. Thank you for hanging out so much. Where do people go to CIS to get the hardest core? The hardcore. Sir.
Steve Bannon
Man Rosary.
Natalie Winters
The cis. Did we lose? There we go. Yeah. And if you like snark and sarcasm, I'm on Twitter at Mark S. Krikorian. S as in Stephen. Mark S. Krikorian. No, it's fantastic. Go to Korean Cookorian's. Got all the latest information. Put up with Snark on. On the invasion of the United States of America. Thank you, Gregorian. Appreciate you, brother. Thanks. I want to go back to the Justice Department. The special prosecutor. I mean, we can play it again. Dershowitz was his lawyer. Dershowitz came out and said, hey, there's a list, right? You've been involved in this for quite a while. Apl. Where do we stand with this thing?
Steve Bannon
Investigation.
Natalie Winters
Yeah. No, no, no. Do you support. Do you support a special prosecutor?
Steve Bannon
Yeah. And I will say this right now this is interesting because you know that the task force that I'm running is actually and has been very successful in getting a lot of these documents pertaining to the JFK assassination. Right. Like everything that just broke last week. Ratcliffe had actually released for the first time in 67 years of Joe Needy's files.
Natalie Winters
Hold it, hold it. That proves that the CIA was involved. That deli Harvey Oswald's on the payroll.
Steve Bannon
Oh, trust me, he's on the payroll.
Natalie Winters
And they finally admitted after 60 some years. Right.
Steve Bannon
And that was because of President Trump's executive order. But remember, the American people had in inclinations, they suspected. There's a lot of theories, but to treat the American people as if they're stupid and they can't make the determination for themselves. The way that they need to handle the Epstein files is they need to. No one wants to see child pornography. No one wants to see victim information. But there should be information available for the public to decide what they so choose in regards to the investigation that needs to be publicly out there. They need to roll it out how they did with the JFK files. I don't believe this whole notion of, you know, no one's involved. I just don't.
Natalie Winters
I gotta. Here's what I think. The special process. Dershowitz just came out and said there are people involved. Yeah. Dershowitz, who was Epstein's lawyer, says there's people involved. And even he says that it's being suppressed. It seems to me. Here's what you got to do. Special counsel, special prosecutor has two mandates. The first mandate is to go to the court and request formally, which the Justice Department refuses to do, to unveil release all the, all the secure documentation because the court has, has, has, you know, has put behind a wall. The SDNY has, has sealed it partially. This was unsealed. But not just, not just sdny. A federal judge has done it. You've got to go the judge to unseal the documents. Those documents, once unsealed, plus all other information. All other information. They have every piece of that, that memo talked about that. Oh, it's not credible. All information by the special counsel then must be released to the public. Let the public determine that. Right. And on the child pornography that was uploaded, maybe a special group inside there can redact it or whatever, or leto. But all that. In addition, the second mandate has to be that the special counsel has the ability to impanel a federal grand jury, criminal grand jury, and start to look at what Mike Benz is talking about, about the intelligence coordination here.
Steve Bannon
And if I can, if I could just add in Steve. And also too, like, I think that specifically the reason why this is such a big issue right now is because of how it's been handled. Right. Like Jack, you actually did a really good explanation on what actually happened. And I think that people are really frustrated because it's like they were promised information, they were not promised information. There's too much conflicting information in general. And then, and you know, you have people like Dan Bongino and Cash Patel that they can, they can release certain information, but they can't do it without the approval of the Department of Justice. So they're absolutely getting destroyed right now online. And Caroline Levitt, who you guys all know, Caroline Levitt's not part of the swamp, but she's getting destroyed online. So this is, I think, what the American people want. And it's not just a Republican based issue. It's massively bipartisan. Democrats and independents want to do that.
Natalie Winters
It is. But back to the Republican base. The only way this thing, the firestorm passes is if the 5 to 10 to maybe 15% of the Trump movement, the Pepes and the hardcores, many of whom are in this audience, just say, I've had enough of it. The Epstein situation gets down to one basic question. One basic question. Who governs this country? Right? Who governs this country? Is it a shadowy network of intelligence, MI6, Saudi intelligence, the Mossad, CIA, elements of DNI with other international financiers and corporations and governments are. The people of the United States govern. All that information has come out and the people have to weigh and measure itself. This is the most populous thing we can do right now. Steve went, Vladimir Putin. Is that true? Is that, is that it's not about just a pedophile ring and all that? This is about who governs us, right? And that's why it's not going to go away. For this to go away. Can we blow the brake, by the way? Can we blow the brake, guys? For this to go away, you're going to lose 10% of the MAGA movement. If we lose 10% of the MAGA movement right now, we ain't. We're going to lose 40 seats in 26. We're going to lose the president. It only have to steal it, which they're going to try to do in 28, because they're going to sit there and they go, they've disheartened the hardest core populous nationals has always been who governs us. Jack, when, when Vladimir Putin, when Vladimir Putin came out and he was in that interview and Tucker went over, there was there was a line in there that's always stuck with me. And he said you can't negotiate with the presidents. He said I've been here for a lot of presidents. You can't negotiate with the presidents. I used to try to but then I realized something that the presidents weren't the ones in power. He said the United States is controlled by the men in dark suits. They come out after the president and they correct what the president said. And he said those are the ones that are actually in charge of your country. That's what the Russians are saying. They're laughing at you. They say you want to call us not Democratic. At least we're honest about it it.
Steve Bannon
And I'm sure APL can speak to this. But it's like time after time whether it's the Hunter Biden hard drive, the Weaponization Committee. We have the easiest case to make. It's just released the documents. Meanwhile the Democrats for the last four years off of trumped up charges. They created four felony indictments against President Trump. They threw you in prison for bogus charges. They threw thousands of Jan Sixers in prison for completely trumped up BS charges. We have the easiest case to make. We don't even have to lie about it.
Natalie Winters
Let the American people be the jury here. Just release the documents and let people weigh and measure it. Right.
Steve Bannon
Trust and transparency.
Natalie Winters
Apl we know you got a boat Congressman. Apl where do people go to get you? And by the way, where's that beautiful baby?
Steve Bannon
Oh, he's running around here. Yes. We actually love children here. We're the pro family.
Natalie Winters
Pro family.
Steve Bannon
You can follow me at Rep. Luna or real Anna Paulina Fanta and one.
Natalie Winters
More time you support a special prosecutor on the situation. Special prosecutor because the only way out. Right.
Steve Bannon
I would say that this needs to be handled the way that they handled transparency on JFK. And frankly every single person cabinet member I think that's been appointed in some context actually supported.
Natalie Winters
Do you believe with your work we had 30 seconds on JFK and now knowing that Lee Harvey Ozzo was on the payroll the CIA because your hard work. Did the CIA have a coup against Jack Kennedy?
Steve Bannon
Correct. There's rogue factions of the CIA that engage in the COVID up and also to I believe turned a blind eye or were involved in people that were associated with.
Natalie Winters
That's a sitting member of Congress heard that.
Steve Bannon
And there's evidence that there was more than one shooter and there's also evidence that the CIA admitted to not buying the lone gunman theory. So America's right on this one.
Natalie Winters

Podcast Summary: Bannon's War Room Episode 4624: Trump Heads To Texas; Coverup Of Epstein Files Release Date: July 11, 2025
In Episode 4624 of Bannon's War Room, hosts Steve Bannon and Natalie Winters delve into a range of pressing issues affecting the United States. From significant Supreme Court rulings and federal employee layoffs to the ongoing controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's case, the episode offers a comprehensive analysis of current political and social dynamics. This summary encapsulates the key discussions, insights, and conclusions presented during the episode.
Timestamp: 00:00 – 01:49
The episode begins with a discussion on the recent Supreme Court decision that allows the Trump administration to proceed with firing thousands of federal employees.
Steve Bannon emphasizes the ruling's importance:
“This is the latest case that the Supreme Court has handed even more power to the president and the executive branch.” (00:06)
Natalie Winters highlights the administration’s intention:
“It seems absolutely that the White House and Donald Trump still want to make some massive changes to the federal government.” (00:15)
The conversation underscores a trend where both Congress and the Supreme Court are increasingly empowering the executive branch, aligning with Trump’s strategic moves to reshape federal operations.
Timestamp: 01:49 – 07:15
The hosts discuss the Trump administration's overhaul of the State Department, spearheaded by Secretary Marco Rubio.
Natalie Winters outlines the changes:
“The State Department will begin mass layoffs of its workforce as early as this morning... closing or merging more than 300 bureaus and offices.” (01:49)
Steve Bannon connects this move to a broader agenda:
“It's a modern-day version of McCarthyism... a war against radical political ideology.” (06:12)
Rubio’s rationale for the reorganization is to eliminate perceived inefficiencies and align the department with core American values, targeting what he describes as pockets of radical political ideology within the agency.
Timestamp: 03:57 – 06:00
A significant portion of the episode addresses the controversial handling of Jeffrey Epstein's case, focusing on claims of intelligence agency involvement.
Natalie Winters raises critical questions:
“Was Jeffrey Epstein working with U.S. and/or foreign intelligence agencies?” (03:57)
She asserts the suppression of documents to protect various individuals:
“I know the names of the individuals. I know why they're being suppressed.” (03:59)
The discussion suggests that Epstein's connections may extend beyond criminal activities, potentially involving intelligence operatives, which could have influenced the lenient plea deal he received in 2008.
Timestamp: 07:15 – 23:01
The episode transitions to current events, focusing on President Trump's visit to Texas to address the devastating floods in Kerrville and surrounding areas.
Steve Bannon and Natalie Winters provide live updates and analysis:
“President Trump is going to see the devastation... over 120 deaths and 170 missing.” (09:01)
Natalie Winters criticizes the federal response under the Biden administration:
“Everything they did under Biden was an absolute disaster. There's still hundreds that are missing.” (17:07)
The hosts argue that the Trump administration's proactive measures contrast sharply with what they describe as Biden's inadequate handling of natural disasters, emphasizing the need for efficient federal response mechanisms.
Timestamp: 18:24 – 43:20
A heated debate ensues on immigration policies, focusing on the concepts of amnesty and mass deportations.
Natalie Winters strongly opposes any form of amnesty:
“No amnesty. So the base of the party is locked in. No amnesty. No amnesty light, nothing.” (43:20)
Steve Bannon expands on the necessity of mass deportations:
“We need to deport regular people, too, so that ordinary illegal immigrants understand that the party's over, it's time to pack up and go back.” (27:27)
The hosts critique proposed immigration reforms that they believe allow illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S., arguing that such policies undermine law enforcement efforts and encourage further illegal immigration.
Timestamp: 46:19 – 55:27
The conversation shifts to the need for a special prosecutor to investigate the Epstein case thoroughly.
Steve Bannon advocates for increased transparency:
“The way that they need to handle the Epstein files is they need to... release all the secure documentation... Let the public determine what they choose in regards to the investigation.” (49:27)
Natalie Winters supports the appointment of a special prosecutor:
“Do you support a special prosecutor on the Epstein situation? Congressman, would you support Steve's idea?” (46:19)
The hosts argue that existing efforts by the DOJ and FBI have been insufficient, and they call for independent oversight to uncover the full extent of Epstein's connections and the possible involvement of intelligence agencies.
Timestamp: 25:00 – 42:23
An essential segment covers the upcoming BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro, focusing on its potential to challenge the dominance of the U.S. dollar.
Steve Bannon highlights the threat:
“As BRICS nations push forward with their plans, global demand for US Dollars will decrease, bringing down the value of the dollar in your savings.” (30:00)
This "Rio Reset" is portrayed as a pivotal moment that could lead to significant economic shifts, urging listeners to consider diversifying their investments to protect against impending financial instability.
Timestamp: 55:27 – End
In wrapping up, Bannon and Winters reiterate the importance of transparency and accountability in government operations, particularly concerning high-profile cases like Epstein's.
Steve Bannon underscores the need for action:
