Overview

This episode of Bannon's War Room centers on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, prominent conservative activist, at Utah Valley University. The discussion interrogates the shooter’s motivations, possible extremist affiliations, the alleged failures of law enforcement, and calls for aggressive political/legal response—namely, labeling Antifa as a terrorist organization.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Details of the Shooting & Suspect Background

• Forensic Evidence & Suspect Analysis

  • Bullet casings were engraved with provocative statements (such as “Hey, fascist”, and “If you read this, you are gay”) suggesting a mix of meme culture and personal animosity.
  • Casey Jordan, criminologist: Emphasizes the immaturity and meme-driven aspect of the perpetrator's messaging, doubts long-term planning, suggests inspiration from recent left-wing mass shootings ([00:42–03:02]).
  • Chris (reporter): Outlines suspect Tyler Robinson’s lack of clear employment, university ties, criminal record, or mental health documentation. Notes his parents’ affluence and unaffiliated political status ([03:02–04:59]).
  • The shooter was allegedly motivated by resentment toward Kirk, radicalization via online culture, and possibly triggered by knowledge of Kirk’s visit to the local university.

• Radicalization Trends

  • E (commentator): Points out evolving patterns: Historically, right-wing/white supremacist actors perpetrated most political murders, but 2025 is showing more ideological diversity in politically motivated killings, including incidents from the far left and non-affiliated radicals ([04:59–06:35]).

2. Critiques of Law Enforcement and Government

• Reactive, Not Proactive

  • Bannon: Strong criticism of law enforcement for being "self-congratulatory" after the fact, but failing to act on signs of radicalization or to prevent attacks—"no real preventative, everything performative" ([07:54–12:00]).
  • Expresses cynicism towards “partnership” rhetoric among agencies: “I hate 'our partners.' They're not your partners… They’re paid to do this” ([12:00–13:00]).
  • Notable Quote: "We're in a war now. We've actually been in a war, but we got to stop the crap also." — Steve Bannon ([13:30]).

• Political Weakness & False Unity

  • Bannon lambasts Utah’s Republican Governor Cox for calls for unity, arguing such approaches amount to appeasement and weakness.
  • He draws a direct line between “Republicans like that” and national decline, contrasting them with Kirk’s directness and “gentle soul” ([13:45–14:30]).
  • Urges outright, hardline legal response: “Designate ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist organization. Freeze their bank accounts, declare martial law in Portland. Shut them down, round them up and go kick down some doors. Today.” ([14:30–15:30]).
  • Notable Quote: "If that's the case, that's the America that's going to lose and not be America anymore." — Steve Bannon on Governor Cox’s stance ([14:10]).

3. The Legacy and Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk

• Kirk’s Work and Character

  • Bannon lionizes Kirk as a generational figure, likening him to Andrew Breitbart and even revolutionaries like Hamilton and Jefferson ([29:00–30:30]).
  • Presents Kirk’s life as sacrificial for "saving the country", marking his assassination as a “war casualty in this war to save the greatest country in the history of mankind” ([33:30]).

• Turning Point USA’s Future

  • Affirms that “the group of Turning Point with Tyler and Andrew and the other great team that Charlie's built, they will go on and they're going to do great things and probably greater things they've done before” ([18:47]).

4. Calls to Escalate: No More ‘Unity’, Only ‘Victory’

• Rejecting ‘Unity’

  • Bannon vehemently rejects “calls for unity” post-assassination, asserting the need for victory—stresses “one side has to win here”—and frames the present political moment as an existential struggle ([31:30–33:00]).
  • Criticizes the idea of bipartisan mourning or “group hugs,” framing them as hypocrisy and defeatism.

• Aggressive Legal & Political Policies

  • Lists measures for the right to enact: label Antifa as a terrorist group, target funding networks, detain and investigate accessories, and crack down on left-wing activism and media support ([33:30–35:00]).
  • Urges the audience: “If you're not with us, you're against us. This has to happen.” ([36:00]).
  • Pushes for total defeat and the exposure of “the deep state,” targeting not just left-wing radicals, but also moderate Republicans and establishment figures.

5. Broader Cultural and Political Claims

• Sweeping Moral Framing

  • Presents the clash as one of pure good versus overwhelming evil, referencing divine providence and American destiny.
  • Bemoans “transgender radicals”, pharmaceutical companies, and “Democrat jurisdictions”, linking left-leaning cultural themes to violence and decay ([23:00–24:30], [32:15]).
  • Notable Quote: “You have people in Cox, you think, oh, they're so generous. No, they're boys and girls. Divine providence, the Holy Spirit at your conception picked it. Boys and girls... You build this mental disease.” — Steve Bannon ([23:30]).

• Historic Arcs and Urgency

  • References Ecclesiastes (“a time and a place for everything under heaven”) as a way to contextualize actions taken in this moment ([30:30]).

Conclusion

This War Room episode channels the right’s anger and grief over the assassination of Charlie Kirk into sharp, uncompromising political calls to action. It is marked by:

• Relentless criticism of law enforcement,
• Total rejection of calls for national unity or healing,
• Elevation of Kirk as martyr and generational leader,
• Open advocacy for aggressive, state-led measures against perceived domestic enemies,
• Framing of the conflict as existential and holy.

The episode is unapologetically militant, urgent in tone, and often blends policy advocacy with personal and spiritual reflections. For Bannon and his allies, Charlie Kirk’s murder is the "primal scream of a dying regime" and a clarion call for action to “cut out the cancer” from American political life—by any means necessary.

Transcript

[A]

Here these last 72 hours.

[B]

Vaughn Hilliard. Thank you, everyone. Please stay close. And joining us now is criminologist Casey Jordan. Casey. So much happening so quickly here this morning. We're learning as well from our own reporting that there's no indication of a prior criminal record. This is according to searches of state, national public records associated with the person Tyler Robinson and his date of birth. One of the most striking details that we learned from this press conference were again about those bullet casings and the inscriptions. Hey, fascist, the words, Bella chapter, the words. If you read this, you are gay. What do you see as the significance or what the message is that he's trying to communicate here?

[C]

Really, I would need to actually see these words in the way that they are on the bullet casings and the gun to make a proper interpretation. But just knowing what those words are, I'm kind of overwhelmed with how immature it all sounds and that there is no really chronic theme. I think Brandi really nailed it. You have to make of it what you want because, you know, it's like, seize bulged. If you're reading this, you're gay. You know, catch this, fascist. Or hey, fascist, catch. It's like the rantings of a really immature child. And we really need to learn a lot more about what was going on in this accused shooter's life when all of this was happening. Was he in a rabbit hole? Was he. Did he have no job? Did he have no purpose? You know, how did he become such a consumer of hate that his family reports he was, you know, talking in with hate speech about his feelings about the victim. Just at the family dinner the night before. We get the impression he didn't live at home because they talk about the discord messages with his roommate. But they also confirmed he is not a college student at the university where the crime happened. So I will be very interested to reconstruct what was going on in his life. Did he have a job? Did he go to school? Was he fired from a job? Did he apply to jobs and he was not, you know, hired? Did he, you know, have just smoldering hate? Mostly my takeaway is that the writings on the gun and on the bullets really emulate everything we just saw a few weeks ago in the Minnesota Catholic school shooting. So I don't think this has been a long term plan. I think it probably was hatched when this alleged shooter heard that Charlie Kirk was coming to the area, his area in his backyard at a university that he could easily access passes at a college student. There go up on the roofs. I mean, I have to tell you, I teach at a university where I see students going up on the roofs all the time. Interesting. He had a lot of access to the venue and he blended and he knew he would blend. But I do think that this was something that just hatched when he found out that this man that he harbored hate for was coming to his area. And since we just had that school shooting in Minnesota, I think that is probably what inspired it.

[D]

Chris, we have a cursory sketch of this suspect, but there's a lot that we don't know that we'll want to know in the coming days. But what we do know is that he did not attend the university where the shooting took place, but he did attend Utah State University for one semester. The university confirms before dropping out. His parents own a stately $600,000 six bedroom home in suburban Utah in a mostly Republican area. But he's not registered with any particular party. He's listed as unaffiliated. So we don't know much about his upbringing or what kind of person he was. We're left with essentially what authorities have told us, that he expressed animosity for Charlie Kirk and that he seems to be marinating in meme culture based on the engravings that he allegedly put on the ammunition, including an anti fascist song and messages. And we know that, according to authorities, he shared with his roommate messages about hiding a rifle. So there appears to be strong evidence linking him to this crime. But there isn't a lot of information right now about why he did it, what kind of person he was. We don't know whether he had any mental health issues. There doesn't appear to be any criminal record, but criminal records are incomplete in this country. It's difficult to know just hours after an incident. But he doesn't appear to have had any significant interaction with authorities. So, look, a lot of people will make a lot of this. He was on the left, and this is being called a political assassination. But what we've seen time and again with mass shootings and other kinds of violence is that we've seen alienated people who become radicalized online. Sometimes they've become radicalized to terrorism, sometimes they become radicalized to right wing violence. In this case, it looks like he was radicalized on the left of the political spectrum. But there's a lot more we need to know about his mental health and state of mind before we can make conclusions about what the motive here was.

[E]

And what was really going on from 2018 to 2020. Four assailants with hard right or white supremacists or related ideologies were responsible for the plurality of political homicides in the United States. 2020, though, for the first time in years, this quiescence ended. And we started seeing from the left wing and from the limited information that's out today, it looks like with some of the statements that were made and some of the symbols that this, at least I'm classifying it personally as a suspected left wing extremist motivated homicide. And we saw for 2025, great diversity, starting with January 1, with the violent Salafist jihadists killing 14, which is one of the larger events in recent years. So that kind of stacked it in one direction. The last thing I want to say is we're also seeing this. This particular defendant or suspect Robinson appears to be in a more organized pale, an organized folder, if you will, from the hard left. But we're increasingly seeing people with amorphous motivations, psychological distress and unclear or multiple hatreds motivate, motivating attacks. So we have a rot going on here, which is not just against individual political camps, but against our democracy as well.

[F]

County jail. An official there tells CNN he is being held without bail on multiple initial charges, including aggravated murder. He is expected to make his first court appearance on Tuesday when former formal charges are filed. Sources say Robinson initially was talking two investigators, but that he stopped cooperating this morning after getting a lawyer. The end of the manhunt coming a day and a half after Charlie Kirk was shot in front of a crowd at Utah Valley University. As the search stretched on, police released this video showing the suspect jumping off the roof where he is believed to have fired that fatal shot. And in this video obtained by cnn, you can see someone matching the suspect's appearance walking into a neighborhood near the university. All of that leading to a confrontation that's almost unimaginable. A law enforcement source tells CNN that a man in southwestern Utah saw these photos and recognized his own son, Tyler Robinson. He confronted him and his son confessed. Our source says that Robinson's father called a youth pastor who contacted police, and that led to Tyler Robinson's arrest late last night.

[A]

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. Christians not got a free shot on all these networks. Lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA MEDIA I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War ROOM here's your host, Stephen K. Banner. It's Friday the 12th of September in the year of our Lord 2025. I think our morning show began to have the impact that we feel is necessary in this entire process. Many stories about a Daily Mail of. The Daily Mail of London just put up a huge story a little while ago and if we can put that up with the appropriate headline from our morning show about our belief about law enforcement and the FBI and all of it, and particularly the fact that we took umbrage with the self congratulatory nature of all this and we're big believers and supporters of law enforcement. But, but two things that irk us and I think irk the American people and I think people are kind of getting tired of it, is no real preventative. Nothing really preventative. Everything performative before the fact that we hear that, you know, these mentally deranged kids or these transgender kids have been identified or maybe the FBI has been noticed or local law enforcement's been noticed, but turns out nothing's happened. Or they go to the house a couple of times and there's been issues, but because everybody's so politically correct and kind of tiptoeing around it, they walk away. Or in this case, this hasn't been confirmed, but it might have been. Some people had seen this guy in action, in motion. And this makes sense because the timeline itself, we have to get the timeline right and we have to make sure that we actually have the shooter and not an accessory to this. So the self congratulatory nature of the, of law enforcement. Oh, and that says two things. The other thing is when after it's over, good God damn. Like down at the university, there's tanks everywhere and half tracks and Humvees and you know, people are up armored like they were at the Catholic school. You had something looked like the, it looked like more troops than you deployed to the border. Or when the Germans are whining about they have no troops to put in Ukraine, it's the brigade they've got up in Lithuania. Everybody's running around and they're all swatted up and you know, everybody's a cowboy and they got guns and communications and they're doing all this after the Fact. And today, please, for law enforcement in the future, just cut out the, you know, our partners. I hate our partners. They're not partners. They're not your partners. They're other law enforcement. They got a job to do. Local, maybe state, maybe there's interagency. That's all fine. They're not partners. They're paid to do this. It's the structure of law enforcement. Locally, law enforcement, state, how it interacts with the Fed. We get it. It's complicated. You guys do it, you know, a good job. All of it. Of course, in the movies, you know, it's always the renegade cop and everybody's against him and all that. I don't want to hear any of that. It's all crap. It's all nonsense. We're in a war now. We've actually been in a war, but we got to stop the crap also. I just think. And this is why law enforcement. Not this goofy governor who's completely woke and it's just a. It was Arnold Schwarzenegger. Called him girly man. He's a girly man. Wants to have a Kumbaya. So the Daily Mail had my take on law enforcement, and I think shortly they're going to have my take on. If I understand what they're doing is. A lot of people were, like, shocked but supportive of my takedown of Cox. Media ites got the lead story. It was the lead story. Cox is the politician America needs at this moment. Well, if that's the case, that's the America that's going to lose and not be America anymore. Because no, Cox, we're not going to go out and sing Kumbaya. We're not going to hold hands this afternoon, and we're not going to have a barbecue with Democrats. Not going to happen. You've seen this over and over and over again. Here they take a gentle soul. Remember, Charlie Kirk is a gentle soul. A good and decent man that would go into these hellholes of universities and hold himself out to debate, to debate ideas what university is supposed to be about, and to try to try to organize the information and the facts into kind of like, you know, Aristotelian arguments to actually treat these people like they care about reason. That's what Charlie would do, to kind of try to raise them up to play to their better angels. And what was Charlie's reward for that? Charlie Kirk was executed. Executed. He was shot like a dog for being one of the great young men in this country. So, Cox, contemplate that before you try to sell the crap. You're trying to sell the reason the country's in the shape it is. Is Republicans like that you've put in office over and over and over again. And what do they want to do? They're afraid of the media, they're afraid of the donors, afraid of the money, they're afraid of the media. And they will kowtow. They will break. You want to have certain defeat. You want to lose any chance of making America great again? Follow guys like Cox. Simple direct. Designate ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist organization. Freeze their bank accounts, declare martial law in Portland. Shut them down, round them up and go kick down some doors. Today perp walk them, chain them up and take them down to federal prison. Short break. 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 and 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.

And my preferred pronouns are he, him, and his. I think there's still much that we can do to protect women's sports and also to send a message to trans kids that there's a place for them and that they belong. And that's really important to me that they know that. Look, I just. These kids are. They're just trying to stay alive. There's a reason none of them are playing sports. And so I just think there's a better way. And I hope that there will be enough grace in our state to find a better solution. He said optimism is a vice. It's this idea that good things are just going to happen. He said in the history of the world, good things have never just happened. He says, I'm not optimistic, but I am hopeful. And hope is the virtue that sits between the vices of optimism and pessimism. Hope is the idea that good things are going to happen because we can make them so. I still believe in our country, and I know Charlie Kirk believed in our country. I still believe that there is more good among us than evil. And I still believe that we can change the course of history. I'm hopeful because Americans can make it.

[A]

So the group of Turning Point with Tyler and Andrew and the other great team that Charlie's built, they will go on and they're going to do great things and probably greater things they've done before. But a Charlie Kirk's like an Andrew Breitbart. These individuals come along once a generation, right? They're not. They're not everyday people. This is. And they targeted this guy. They targeted him. The family said right there, Matt Boyle. And look, I'm just sick and tired of law enforcement with all the resources we put into it to come up and say we're working in partnerships, we're great, we're communicating. The public assumes that that is happening. You should get to the chase, cut to the chase and give the public content about exactly what happened, the timeline of how the guy turned himself in, about the family, about more details and about accessories to the crime in the Discord Channel and go into. And have a governor up there that has no earthly idea about antifa. Doesn't really matter. We had the FBI director. Could we not get up there and talk about what this symbology means? Because the left is not going to get off the hook in this. All these reports come in, what do you mean we're at war, Banner? What Are you talking about this? They assassinated Charlie Kirk in cold blood in a targeted exercise that took planning, planning. And now we're going to sit here and let's, let's have some groups, let's get together and have a group hug. They take out Charlie Kirk and let's just sit down and have a group hug. Let's have a, let's have Antifa over for a barbecue this afternoon. How about that? Antifa can, you know, Charlie, the gentlest and nicest individual in this political world who would sit there with a microphone and say, I can convince you through ideas, I can convince you through the force of my argument. Not violence and anything. He was the happy warrior. That's who they took out. Who could be more accommodating than Charlie Kirk, who could be nicer than Charlie Kirk, who could be more accessible to Charlie Kirk. That's why they murdered him in cold blood. Assassination. And this was an execution. And now, you know, you get the symbology of this and we're just going to have this press conference and oh, okay, fine. And you know, let's go, let's. It's time to us to bring the unity together. No, they always want the unity after they do something horrific. Well, they ain't getting unity and there shouldn't be unity. We should get answers on this, to drill down with people that know it and present to the public exactly what his affiliations were, who he talked to and round up the accessory. And now more than ever, I don't know why we're not putting down Antifa at least at minimum. Okay, you saw at the beginning the cold open. Now they got, now they're going to try to confuse you. You know, we really got to think about this. We're so uncertain of what this guy was. No, this was 100% Antifa affiliated. @ TIFA adjacent, Antifa's burning down Portland every night, stopping officers from ice officers doing their job. They've taken control of Portland. They never really gave it up. And in Trump's first term, remember, it was Bill Barr and these people. The reason Bill Barr had to fight against President Trump had this huge fight in his first term. They're all guys like Cox. This is why I say the conservatives and the Republicans and all that. It's the reason you're here, folks. There's not a little bit of evil. It's overwhelming evil. You have people in Cox, you think, oh, they're so generous. No, they're boys and girls. Divine providence, the Holy Spirit at your conception picked it. Boys and girls Boys and girls and the fact that you condone it and bring it along and nurture it. Oh, gosh, let's get the pronouns right. And all they want to do is, you know, fulfill themselves. You build this mental disease. And then they get twisted and they think the world's against them. You know what they do? They end up taking a high powered rifle and putting through a slot in a church and gunning down little kids and the mom and them, oh, yeah, you know, we get the hair and read. Oh, we don't know what the motive is. Remember that. We still don't know what the motive is. The transgender guy, the dude, we don't know his motive. Oh, except in his manifesto, which now law enforcement, because President Trump's in charge, puts out right away in the manifesto. Just read it. He hated. He says, I've been brainwashed. I hate it. I hate myself. The last thing left is the hair has not Brandon shoal water. And the doctors we've had on for years walked you through the agony of these people because the pharmaceutical companies and everybody and the psychiatrists, the psychologists and look online. Charlie Kirk was a transgender hater. He had to die. We laughing. Ha ha ha. Charlie Kirk. These are sick, twisted, evil people. They've been formed into evil people because the parents and the people around them let that formation happen. And now you have Peter Baker and you got Katie Britt. It's time for unity. We need unity and peace. No, we do not need unity and we don't need peace. We need them designated as domestic terrorist organization. We need to go to Portland to declare martial law. We need to shut it down and stop the crap. Roll them up, take a thousand of them and put them in a pin in, in in Portland and start arraigning them. No more activity. Start stopping ice. No. And go get the financing. Take, take, take the. Take the case that President Trump talked about the RICO case with source and just put it in tariff financing case. How about that act blue terror financing case and roll them all up. Are you kidding me? They're going to shoot these little kids in school and then assassinate Charlie Kirk. And now it's time for unity. Now it's time. Yeah. What we need to do, play Katie Britt this. Because this is the mentality of the Republicans. Let's play it.

[G]

Before I start on the issue at hand, I want to echo what you've heard from my colleagues. Political violence has no place in America. What we saw yesterday and everyone saw, it is sickening. It is disgusting. It was a political assassination. And all of you sitting in these rows have a duty and an obligation to call it that. You know, when I'm thinking about Charlie, obviously his faith was the most important thing in his life. His wife, his children. Our prayers are with them. He influenced countless Americans and people across the world. My kids being amongst those groups, talking with them last night, talking through this with them last night is just unthinkable that this is happening in the United States of America. And so the time for unity, the time for peace, it is.

[I]

They may not be the majority, but the louder voices in our politics are, of course, you know, engaging in blame for one another and ratcheting up the rhetoric rather than ratcheting it down, talking about the radical lunatic left and the left is evil and the left is this and that, while ignoring the fact that, of course, violence has played out across the political spectrum in recent years. Whether you count the, you know, the assassination of the two Minnesota lawmakers, Democrats recently, the burning of the Democratic governor's mansion in, in Pennsylvania, January 6, the attack on Paul Pelosi.

And so all the, all these, all these all. Hey, baby, that's what they got. I had other people like Baker today calling me. You know, it's. It's Walls. The guy was a Walls appointee.

Phillegreens.com code Bannon do it today War room Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon right there. We're looking at a live shot of the perpetrator's house of what they say is the perpetrator or part of the conspiracy. I don't know. Law enforcement not telling us things. Certainly like to have a press conference and have somebody step to the microphone that's in law enforcement and give us some facts. Part of the engine room says the whole story is bs. They took out a future president and a pillar of Christian American values. They took out the best. And the reason he was the best, he accomplished so much. And this is why you have huge gathering in Hyde park in London. Hyde park corner, the free speech place massive in London right now. Let's just keep it right there. Socio press has a the Charlie was a. Charlie was a gentle person. He was tough and he was focused and he was determined. Everything you have to do to kind of make it in this greater world and particularly build a huge organization when there was nobody thought he could do it. Nobody thought we could get to the youth, nobody thought we could do it. And Charlie Kirk changed the arc of American history. It was exactly what Donald Trump needed at the exact time Donald Trump needed it and Charlie Kirk for someone to do that in their 20s who basically started with no money in his parents garage is like you have to go back to the revolutionary generation as seen by somebody like Charlie Kirk to Hamilton and Jefferson and these folks that were in their 20s when they led a revolution against British tyranny and formed this new republic. A republic I think now that's the longest lasting republic. I don't know. I think we're as long as Rome. The Roman republic. Forget the empire. And Charlie Kirk always did it wearing his Christian values on his sleeve and was out there. So that's the best of the best. How many people like Charlie Kirk come along? How many? And look how he raised people up. Look how he trained that team. Turning Point is going to do tremendous things going forward because of the team Charlie left. The institution he built. Who does that? Oh. By the way. And never really took any money. Right. He just. He didn't take a big salary out of it. Make some money from the media stuff, et cetera. But he could have gone to Silicon Valley, been a billionaire. He didn't. He did this because he understood in this time and place this is what the country needed. He saw a vision and people laughed at him and mocked him. And remember, Charlie was not a. He was not a pro Trump guy. He was more of a Glenn Beck and a Ted Cruz guy at the beginning. As many of the people at Breitbart were. Remember, I went to a little choppy water over Breitbart until we set things right. Yes, we did. But Charlie Kirk is a populist nationalist. What do I do every day at one minute to noon, two hours of populist nationalism served up hot. How many times have I said that over the years to toss to Charlie Kirk Ecclesiastes. What is it? It's a time and a season for everything under heaven. And there's a time for. In a place for assisting and giving comfort to the widow and to give comfort to the children that are now fatherless. And if you ever seen those pictures of the daughter running in a studio in Fox or running anywhere, to see her as soon as she sees her dad, it's heart rending. You see the pictures. All the pictures they got of Charlie and the little boy and all of it. It's heartrending. And there's a time and place, and that is now to comfort the widow and to comfort and nurture the children. But there's also a task of honoring the work he did in the way of holding people accountable for what they did to him, what they did to him and shot him down like an animal on live tv. We will not let that go. And no, no Katie Britt and no Peter Baker and no all the politician and no Cox. We're not going to sing Kumbaya. We're not going to say it's a time to bring people together. You know why One side has to win here. And one side. What are we supposed to bring together? What are we supposed to talk about? Well, you know, Charlie actually had some good arguments. What are you supposed to do with these people? Have you read, have you looked at the Internet? Have you looked at what they've said? Do you look at what they stand for? Do you see Portland every night? Do you see what's happening in the universities where Charlie went to combat it? At the center of where the most pus is under the scab that he was trying to drain in a gentlemanly and Christian way? We must use the tire. Hey, we got it, folks. We worked for years for this. We're kind of in charge. It's time now. And you know, Pam, I don't know what to say. I just don't know what to say. Why are you at the Yankees game last night? Who's got time for a Yankees game? President can do it because he's there to do bigger things and to present to the people, hey, I'm here in this tragedy. Boom. A thing for Charlie Kirk and to let him know and basically sit there. He's up there, I'm sure getting feedback today as he's spending all day up there with about mam Doni and what is going on in New York. And President Trump said, hey, I'm going to think this thing through. He's going to meet with the Qataris. I mean, President Trump has got the weight of the world on his shoulders. On his shoulders. But people should do their job in a DOJ and FBI. Let's turn the entire dhs. Let's turn the entire apparatus. What did I say at Turning Point when Charlie was nice enough again to invite me again? And I gave the speech in Tampa this summer because we love doing the summer program. And I actually told him afterwards I thought Tampa was a tremendous venue and we should continue there and then do the one in Phoenix right before Christmas. But in Tampa, my remarks 100% focus on the work at hand. And the work at hand is with everything else we got going on, the wars and the economy and getting commercial and getting the trade deals and the tariffs, everything we've promoted and worked on with Navarro and all these people. Scott Bessem for years and years and years, we said the number one priority is if you don't take apart the deep state, you're taking apart the administrative state, but you don't get to the deep state part of it, all of this is going to be for naught. They're going to unwind all of it. And they're going to come at everybody with a vengeance. So you have to do it and you have to do it now. And you have to move with alacrity and urgency and that we're burning daylight immediately, like today. We have to designate, and President Trump can do it with a, with a, with a scratch of a pen, an executive order that designates Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. We'll start there. Let's just start there. You got all kinds of things. You got. Let's just start their boom. And then we go after terror financing, we get into their bank accounts. We can get all social media that's promoted them for years, where they suppress everybody else. All those demons around President Trump at the table the other night, they're all demons, all of them. They're suppressing every. They suppressed all of our voices. Particularly people came up and tried to take down Antifa and particularly after George Floyd, they took it all down, suppressed that and promoted the George Floyd stuff, the George Floyd messaging. Think what you, the audience think of what with President Trump, you saved the country from. That's where the country's going. Remember, all these people are taking knees. Nancy Pelosi, they're on their knees to this, like they're worshiping a God, like they're praying to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Remember that. Remember, they're in the halls of Congress. They talk about a sacred space in January 6th. And oh, my gosh, in the holy of holies, these patriots came in and soiled it. Think of what you did. You knelt to it. You knelt there and you knelt to it and you prayed to it and you worshiped it. A false God. And look at all, looking at, look in Bethesda. Look at all the elites, all the white elites on their knees. They were on their knees. You think those people should run anything? Well, I don't. You've seen it again. And no, we're not going to sit here and say, for unity. And we're not going to say, tony, we ain't toning anything down. We want them designated a terrorist organization and we want the FBI to kick down doors like they kick down the J6 doors and they kick down the traditional Catholic doors and they went into the. To the guys that have five, six and seven kids and with 20 FBI cars and dragged them out like animals and chained them like animals and took Peter Navarro, whose greatest crime is trying to bring jobs back here to the United States of America, and they took him off a plane at Reagan Airport and turned him on tarmac and chained him like a dog. Chained him like an animal. So, no, we're not going to sit here and just say it's fine and let's do Kumbaya. No cocks. You told social media is a cancer. You are also a cancer. And you're a cancer that's metastasized in the political process to pat people on the head. And all we have to do is sit down and talk. No, no, no. What are we supposed to talk about? Oh, you know, Charlie Kirk was a good man. Charlie Kirk was a Christian. Charlie Kirk, they know that. That's why they slaughtered him. That's why he was executed. If you do not understand that, you don't understand the moment in the history of this country of where we are and we have control of state power. Why is Source's son walking around New York City? Why are all these foreigners put money through agblue or this foreign billionaires put money in here to destroy our republic? Why is there even an organization that can get in there, have a group chat? First off, why is everybody in the Discord not rolled up and arrested? Well, now Discord as a company says, hey, we don't know what you're talking about. I don't know. I'm just some civilian, but when I see the kid running off the roof and jumping down, I don't see a gun. Maybe it is. I don't know. I'm not a professional in that. But I'm just sitting there as a basic stupid mick civilian. I go, yeah, I don't know. Didn't he say in the Discord that get the gun, it's going to be the trees. And then they say they got the gun from the trees. Well, where's the gun? Maybe slow it down and show me because I'm a simpleton. Just show me. And the grandmother, of course, I don't know. There's the grandmother's saying, hey, the kid never touched a gun in his life. We don't know. I don't know. All I can tell you is the, is the, is the, is the, the shot that said he came up and they said he got there at 11:53. And I saw 11:49, couple minutes. That doesn't give him a long time to set up. And kind of, you know, for Taj Gill and for guys that are stone cold killers and defended our country by being trained by the best in the world. Right? I can see, I can see Taj Gil. I see those guys that can do it. I don't know Some kid up there. And it didn't look like that easy a shot. Maybe it was 200 yards. We had the angle of the building out. Charlie's under a tent, people in front of him. I don't know. And please don't say you caught him in the headlines. They caught him. Oh, we caught him. I want to thank all of our partners. I want to thank all of our law enforcement partners for catching him. He didn't catch him. His parents turned him in. Short break. Taj Gill on the other side. According to the Department of Energy, blackouts could increase by 10,000% over the next few years. It's because of massive energy demand from artificial intelligence data centers. We talk about that all the time here in the war room. And we have a fragile power grid. It just cannot keep up with that demand. I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of being without power, even for a day. That's why I got the grid. Dr. 3300 from my patriot supply. It's a powerful solar generator that runs refrigerators, AC units, medical devices, power tools, anything you need to ride out of blackout. And right now, for their Christmas in July event, they're including over $1,000 in free survival gear with your generator, including emergency food supply, water filtration, survival tubes, and more. You heard that, right. Over a thousand bucks in free gear for a limited time. Head to my Patriotsupply.com Bannon that's my Patriotsupply.com Bannon and grab the Christmas in July bundle before it's gone. Blackouts are coming. Go to mypatronsupply.com Bannon and get prepared. Today one is very simple. The deep state must be destroyed to free the American people. Is there any question about that? Is there any question about that? We have to destroy the deep state. And this is elements of the Pentagon, the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, certain elements that work under DNI, those 17 intelligence agencies, also parts of the State Department, the USAIDS of the world. That inner apparatus. Inner apparatus controls the government. And when President Trump tries to do something, they're always trying to thwart his actions. Right? You see the leaks? When Homan sent in these brave men and women into Los Angeles to do these raids, like the raid about the children trafficked to the marijuana farm to work. They're waiting. They're lying in wait for him. They're lying in wait for the agents. They got weapons to shoot. How does the protesters. Because somebody inside leaked it to them. Somebody inside leaks it to the media. That's the Deep State. Every day it must be destroyed. We're not free. The second resolve. The second resolve is quite simple. You don't give the deep State the consent of the government. Therefore it's your responsibility to destroy it. It's a sacred duty and a responsibility of the American people, American citizens. No calvary is going to come and save you. No foreign country is going to come and save you. No Doyce Ex Mackinac is going to come down. No fairy dust is going to appear. You have to do it yourself. Correct. It's our responsibility. And number three, whoever is not with us is against us. Right? If you're not with us, you can't be neutral on this. You have. If you're with us, you're with us. If you're neutral. Oh, I don't know. Then you're against us. This has to happen. And President Trump, I think you're going to see. And when he's identifying these prosecutors, he's going after it. He's going after who set up Crossfire Hurricane. He's going after. He's going after the Russia hoax. He's going to go after the 2020 election and how it was stolen. And who's responsible for Ford being stolen. Right. And I hope he gets to January 6th. You got to get to January 6th. When I was in prison, you had these January 6th people that had just walked by the Capitol. And what were they? They were sitting there in prison for nothing more than supporting the President. United States. There's a time and place for everything under heaven, and there is a time and place, and that's happening now. To nurture and comfort the widow and the orphans in this case, or the little children with no father and the young employees over at. Over at Turning Point. But there's also a time and place for this. And this is now. Now. Now, now. Not tomorrow, not the next day. Now. They gave that speech in Tampa at Charlie's gathering in mid July. Little did I know that 60 days later, it would be relevant to the assassination of one of the greatest young men of his generation in cold blood. Execution. The investigation, not just of what happened in Utah. And who was. Who were. Who was the shooter? How did it happen? Details. Second by second, we have to know. We must know. We owe. To Charlie Kirk, to Charlie Kirk's work, to Charlie Kirk's life's work to honor him like we honor our war dead. Because Charlie Kirk, and I hate when I say this, they were all over me the other day. Oh, Bannon say he's a war casualty. He's a war casualty in this war to save the greatest country in the history of mankind. And I told you for years it was going to come to this. I told you it was going to come to this. And now that they're murdering at a rate of, you know, the kids every couple of weeks, prominent figures and trying to intimidate you and taking two shots at President Trump, now they want to have unity. They always want unity. When they're caught or they're losing, you designate them a terrorist organization, then all kind of good things happen. You start subpoena telephone records, text messages, you go, you go to the telephone companies like the win on us and took all our stuff. Fine, do it. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. See the interconnection, see who's financing them, see who's contacting them, see what politicians are working with them, see what media types are working with them. And then we ought to round up the media types are working with them as accessories. This is doable. And if you want to avoid a civil war, it needs to be done today. Use the powers of the state we happen to be in charge. You that lifted President Trump on your shoulders when he had every reason in the world not to do it again. And he came back and said, I'm going to do it. We must do it. Because we cannot allow to stand the big steal the 60. And look at the people against this. Number one, they stole it, then lied about it, then crush and try to send us all to President Trump too. Then they knew they had somebody had no mental capacity when he's there, didn't have it. And they covered that up and then tried to run him again until he epically failed at the debate. Are you kidding me? Look at what these people have done. Look at what they've done to our country. Look at what they've done to our children. And you want to sit there and say, now it's time for unity. No, we do not want unity and we will not accept unity. We will only accept victory. And when the Katie Brits of the world and all these rhinos start talking about victory, then we'll start listening to you. All we care about is winning. Why? Because that's what's going to save our country. What did Charlie Kirk give his life for at the age of 31? Why does Charlie Kirk's son not have a father? Why does that precious little daughter not have a father? Why does the grieving widow grieve if you're prepared to accept that. You're prepared to give your country over to the most evil people on earth. This is a test from Almighty God. You're either with us or you're Guinness. As Christ says, if you're lukewarm, we'll spit you out of our mouth. We'll take a short break. Tage Gill, Dr. Bradley Thayer will join me on the other side.
