Political Analyst
Syria is on the Mediterranean Sea. It's the home of two soon to be, we hope, former Russian bases. The United States can't be just a spectator here. Whatever happens in Syria, maybe the United States can't control it. But with offers, incentives and with disincentives, the United States can be a partner in, partner with the Europeans, partner with the Gulf East. This is no time for America alone. America alone. Is America the loser. America is powerful because it is reinforced by strong friends. Work with friends to try to do America's best to, to bring security and stability to Syria. It's in the American interest and President Wrong. President Elect Trump is just wrong to say the opposite.
U.S. Government Official
Looking ahead, the United States will do the following. First, will support Syria's neighbors, including Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Israel, should any threat arise from Syria during this period of transition. I will speak with leaders of the region in the coming days. Had long discussions with all of our people earlier this morning, and I'll send senior officials from my administration to the region as well. Second, we will help stability, ensure stability in eastern Syria, protecting any personnel, our personnel, against any threats and will remain. Our mission against ISIS will be maintained, including the security of detention facilities where ISIS fighters are being held as prisoners. We're clear eyed about the fact that ISIS will try to take advantage of any vacuum to reestablish its capabilities and to create a safe haven. We will not let that happen. In fact, just today, US Forces conducted a dozen of precision strikes, airstrikes within Syria, targeting ISIS camps and ISIS operatives. Third, we will engage with all Syrian groups, including within the process led by the United nations, to establish a transition away from the Assad regime toward independent, sovereign, an independent, independent, I might say it again, sovereign Syria with a new constitution, a new government that serves all Syrians. And this process will be determined by the Syrian people themselves. And the United States will do whatever we can to support them, including through humanitarian relief, to help restore Syria after more than a decade of war and generations of brutality by the Assad family. And finally, we will remain vigilant. Make no mistake, some of the rebel groups that took down Assad have their own grim record of terrorism and human rights abuses. We've taken note of statements by the leaders of these rebel groups in recent days, and they're saying the right things now. But as they take on greater responsibility, we will assess not just their words, but their actions. And we are mindful, we are mindful that there are Americans in Syria, including those who reside there, as well as Austin Tice, who was taken captain more than 12 years ago. We remain committed to returning him to his family.

This is what you're fighting for.
Stephen K. Bannon
I mean, every day you're out there, what they're doing is blowing people off. If you continue to look the other way and shut up, then the oppressors, the authoritarians, get total control and total.
Co-host
Power because this is just like in Arizona.
Stephen K. Bannon
This is just like in Georgia. It's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged. As we've told you, this is the fight.
Co-host
All this nonsense, all this spin. They can't handle the truth.
Stephen K. Bannon
War ROOM Battleground. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. Okay, welcome. It's Monday, the 9th of December, year overlord 2024. I want to start with Syria. We're going to go to the J6 situation. Also talk about Chris Wray, a big report coming out of the Senate today or a letter on the Senate by Chris Wray should be, should be terminated. I'll get to all that. Cynthia Hughes, going to be here from the J6, one of the J6 foundations, to talk to us about the J6 or President Trump committing to start the pardons of the J Sixers on first day in office. Yor Hazani joins me. Yoram, I want to put this in perspective, brother. The reason the dominoes are falling, the reason that Syria and the Assad regime fell is because of Israel. Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't it Israel taking direct military action against the Persian proxy army in southern Lebanon that we refer to as Hezbollah, Sir.
Yoram Hazony
Hello, Steve. Yes, I think you're seeing it correctly. For many, many years, people told us that there was no military option and that the only alternative was to somehow make a deal with the Iranians and welcome them into the brotherhood of legitimate nations in the Middle East. And what we've seen over the last year is that the Netanyahu government in Israel first took out the Hamas in Gaza, then took out the Hezbollah in Lebanon. And as a direct result of these punishing shifts against the Iranian empire in the Middle east, the the various rebel groups in Iran were emboldened, seeing that Hezbollah was gone. Hezbollah was one of the main armed forces protecting the Assad regime in Syria. They went for the jugular and Assad's gone as well. The biggest question in the Middle east at the moment is can the Iranian regime survive in a context where it suffered three major humiliating, stinging defeats in a row for its empire in the Middle East. There's got to be people in Iran right now who are saying to themselves, we can do that, too.
Stephen K. Bannon
So you're saying that they supported, along with the Muslim Brotherhood, they supported the Hamas in Gaza, the military brigades, they were their proxy army in Lebanon of Hezbollah and, of course, the Assad regime. All those have essentially fallen in reaction to the unwarranted unprecedented attack of October 7th, correct?
Yoram Hazony
Yes, sir.
Stephen K. Bannon
So how do we avoid. You lose. You know, nature abhors a vacuum. The Persians are clearing the back foot. But isn't this a little bit of Erdogan, because he's got visions of grandeur. He wants to reestablish the Ottoman Empire, and he thinks that he should be the guy that sets up the caliphate, because every time we turn around, we're fighting another guy that wants to establish a caliphate. This is Turkey's play to become a bigger player in the Middle East, Sir?
Yoram Hazony
Yes, that's exactly right. I think the easiest way to think about a very complex situation in the Middle east is to consider that there are. There are basically three, three coalitions that you need to keep an eye on. There's the Iranian coalition, which includes Iraq and the forces in North Yemen, as well as the forces we're talking about in Gaza and in Lebanon. In addition, there is a second Islamic fundamentalist, let's say Islamic supremacist movement, the Muslim Brotherhood. And the head of that coalition is Turkey. This is not the old Turkey that we remember from the Cold War days. It's not a secular Turkey. It's not a pro Western Turkey. This is not our friend. Erdogan is open about seeking to restore the Ottoman Empire. It may sound ridiculous to us, but to him it's not. He's open about the reestablishment of the caliphate, which would make him, as the caliph, the supreme political and religious figure in the Sunni Muslim world. And so his coalition includes the Qataris Muslim Brotherhood chapters not only in Gaza, but also in Jordan. The Morsi government in. In Egypt, of course, was overthrown, but that was an Erdogan puppet regime. And we've been watching his expansion for years, year after year. His deal in 2019 with the Libyans to claim large parts of the Mediterranean as a Muslim Brotherhood ocean playground. Of course, he occupies northern, northern Cyprus. That's for a long time. He's also bitten off pieces of Syria and the Kurdish lands. Now, the important thing to understand about this aspiration is that he's not siding with, you know, the status quo regimes in the Persian Gulf. The monarchies with the Jordan and the Emirates and the other Arab countries that are looking for a. To be part of some kind of pro Western alliance. Erdogan is against them. Erdogan is their nightmare. He is the Hamas. And he and his people see overthrowing the Saudis, conquering Mecca, capturing the oil wealth in the Gulf, capturing Jerusalem, all of these are things that they talk about explicitly all the time. So there is a third coalition. That coalition consists of Israel and let's say, non expansionist Arab regimes in the Persian Gulf. And as we see Iran crumble, and God willing, as we see it fall, as we see it crumble and fall in its influence, the number one beneficiary is going to be Erdogan and the Muslim Brotherhood. And that also has, will have a dramatic effect. If he succeeds in incorporating Syria into his caliphate, that'll have a dramatic effect on the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States and in Europe. It will be a shot in the arm. It'll embolden and empower these players.
Co-host
Just I want to make sure we're.
Stephen K. Bannon
Very clear with this audience because it's very confusing. Over the weekend, particularly in Syria, has been a dog's breakfast of conflict. You know, different people fighting, who paid people. You know, there's a collection of mercenaries. There's also people there for religious beliefs, people there for ideological beliefs. But this came out of nowhere because the central part of the rebels are ISIS and Al Qaeda. And they kind of came from the north with the backing of Turkey and kind of came out of nowhere and drove all the way down, quite frankly, brilliantly, in a matter of a week or so or 12 days, all the way to Damascus, is that we should assume in this, when you talk about these coalitions, that it's old remnants of ISIS and Al Qaeda on the payroll of the Turks, that as part of the Sunni, the Sunni, you know, radical Islamic kind of fascism, jihadist that took, that took Assad down.
Yoram Hazony
Yes. Look, there are many different groups, many different splinters with many different names. Part of it is just a game that they play with us, and part of it is actual differences of emphasis and style. The one thing that unites all of these groups, from ISIS to Nusra to the groups driving, driving to the south that just conquered Homs and Hama and Aleppo and also other Sunni supremacist groups coming from the south, from the area of Dara, the thing that unites all of these groups is that Turkey's Erdogan and Qatar are their natural supporters. So they compete with one another. And both Turkey and Qatar sometimes fund them and sometimes enable them and sometimes get angry with them in order to bring them into line. But they are always in the service. They don't ever forget that their goal is to overthrow all of the Sunni Arab monarchies like Jordan and the Gulf States, to conquer Israel, and then to extend their conquests westward and towards Europe. Just remember Erdogan in 2020 threatening to pour millions of Muslims into Europe. Don't forget this. It's just four years ago that he had millions of Muslims ready to storm Europe and they were attacking Greece's borders. And what is this about? This is about a visionary man and a visionary movement whose goal is to Islam, to the heyday of being the strongest empire in the world. And I see all these experts from Washington splitting hairs about this group and that group. And for some reason, they never learn. They never learn that some of these groups don't feel like pretending that they're moderates. And some of them do. Some of them think, wow, the Americans, it's so easy to play them. Let me just get a good haircut and I'll put on a tie and I'll say that I'm the moderate, and then they'll give me money, and the Americans will call those allies. There are no moderates in this camp. There are no allies in this camp, and that includes Erdogan. He's not an American ally. He's just as close to China and to Russia as he is to the U.S. he's out, for one thing, and that's reestablishing the glories of universal, universal Sunni Muslim empire.
Stephen K. Bannon
This is why I don't, by the way, there was a film made, sure to be a negative film, hit on me, where the young filmmaker, female filmmaker, followed me around for about two years, principally some of the United States, but a lot in Europe. I would go around, I was making this argument, I'd write this chart about the ccp, the mullahs in Persia, Russian, kgb. And I said, the linchpin there is going to be Erdogan and the Turks. And of course, the comedians back home said, well, you know, the bandit don't know what he's talking about. These guys don't have treaties. I mean, Erdogan has been such a key that picks a lock. Why is it Bibi? And why does it seem like Biden and all these people in the west try to talk about the PLO and some of these secular, secular groups in Israel, these Arab groups, you would agree that we. Now, this has come full Thing we understand this is a religious war, right? This is a religious war and they're fighting for whether Shiite supremacy, Sunni supremacy. Somebody wants to take the leadership in the Caliphate, the Saudis. The reason they're nervous is that before, you know, the climax of World War I, the Ottoman Empire controlled the two holy cities in Islam. They controlled Mecca and Medina. And this is in Erdogan. And I've told people this for over a decade. This guy, you may think he's a dictator, you may hate him. He's got a vision, he's a tough hombre. And he's driving this vision home to the fact that with Russia and Persia being Syria and Assad being a client of both of them, he waited for his moment. He dropped the hammer and took Assad's now in Moscow and the Persians are on their back feet. But why does it seem like the Israelis somehow have this, I think, fantasy that you could cut some deal with the plo, which is clearly this one secular group there and everything's going to be fine? Sir.
Yoram Hazony
Well, that was the Israeli left, of course. I mean, I was in the meeting of the Israeli, of the Israeli right in 1993 in the Knesset when we found out that the rabbi led government was, was going to bring tens of thousands of PLO fighters into Israel and arm them and pretend that they're an ally. And you know, it's now been an entire generation and the consequences of those horrific Oslo accords are still with us. First with, with 1,000 dead and 10,000 wounded during the second intifada and then in 2023 with October 7th. I mean, we're still paying the price for the absolute folly of taking Muslim terrorist organizations, whether they call themselves secular or not, and pretending that they're partners for peace. They're not partners for peace. The only partners for peace that we have right now in the Middle east are on the one hand the Gulf states, which are too scared of Iran and of Turkey to give up on an opportunity to make peace with Israel at the moment. And I should add that there are other players in the Middle east that don't get named but need to get named in Syria. And we have large minority populations, not only of Assad's Alawites, there are also Christian groups. There are millions of Kurds who are a non Arab, non Turkish group which really is pro us. There are millions of Druze and all of these groups, Christians, Druze, the Kurds and also the Alawites. They all stand to be treated the way minorities were treated in Gaza. Or in Bethlehem by the PLO where the Christian population has been mercilessly reduced until there are almost no Christians left living under PLO rule. So we have to look at, there's a large map of groups that could be united in order to resist the two great imperial threats, Iran and Turkey. That's something that's possible. But I understand of course, that the United States is looking to pull out its troops from Syria just like the Russians are pulling out their troops. You may remember, Steve, that on a number of occasions on this program I called for pulling those U.S. troops out of Syria because those small contingents are simply sitting ducks and they're in danger. But as the United States looks to pull out of Syria, it can reduce its involvement, remove its troops. And still at the same time, it makes a big difference whether the US is handing over its positions to Turkey and to Turkish backed Muslim supremacists or whether the US gives the green light for Israel and the Gulf states to try to arm some of these groups. That's not something that the United States needs to do, but it is something that needs to be done. And in general, as we look forward, God willing, to restoring the Trump Doctrine, which should be a doctrine not of US troops being deployed in every dangerous spot in the world, but rather the Trump Doctrine was and should be allowing strengthening actual American allies and letting them do the work in their own region, rather than.
Stephen K. Bannon
We only got a couple of minutes here, but I want to be very specific with this because how do we back our ally Israel when you still got the Hamas brigades not totally taking care of in Gaza and not in Judea Samaria? You still got a Hezbollah problem, although a lot less in southern Lebanon. How do we support you without the American first movement? The last thing we want is to get sucked up into another conflict in Syria. So how do we back have your back at the same time, not get sucked because Biden wants to send relief there, he wants to take refugees. He's already doing strikes on now on ISIS targets with our aircraft. How do we back Israel without getting sucked into this broader conflict ourselves?
Yoram Hazony
There doesn't have to be any sucking. Look at, look at, look at Biden. Look at his policy. He tried to micromanage the Gaza war. Every day from the White House, talking to the Israeli government, the Israeli opposition, the Israeli generals, every day from the White House micro tactical dictates about what Israel should and shouldn't shouldn't do in Gaza. Did it help? No, it did nothing other than get our people killed and protract the war. The same thing in Lebanon. The Americans do not know how to bring peace to Lebanon. They don't know how to bring peace to Syria. The best thing that America could do would be to step back and sell weapons to Israel and to close Arab allies that need them and let us do the work. It might be that the United States could, could play a productive role by proposing, as the US Pulls out of Syria, by proposing some kind of autonomous zones to protect these minority groups that I hope Israel and the Arab states will be arming. But the US doesn't need to. The US doesn't have that experience, expertise. The US doesn't need to do that work.
Stephen K. Bannon
We're going to need you on here every day. We're going to carve out a big hunk of the shows every day to talk about the third World war and the kinetic part of it, this dramatic implosion of the Assad regime. Yoram, until then, where do people go on social media, your website to get you?
Yoram Hazony
I'm on Twitter @Yazoni Y. H A Z O N Y. You can find me on the Internet at your.
Stephen K. Bannon
Thank you, brother. Look forward to having you back on. This is a dramatic turn of events. I think it also shows when the Israelis are allowed to take care of business, they take care of business. The fall of Assad was predicated upon the crushing blow that the IDF gave to the Persian proxy in Lebanon. Okay, we're gonna take a short commercial break.

They can't handle the truth. War Room Battleground with Stephen K. Bannon okay, in the third World War, the Connecticut part of the third World War, we are going to get a lot more in detail about everything that's going on every day. Have many, many, many of our contributors and even new ones come on because this thing is starting to metastasize and they're doing everything possible to kind of handcuff President Trump on what he wants. President Trump wants peace and prosperity. He can bring that if given enough Runway and they're trying to cut that off right now. Senator Chuck Grassley, Mike Davis's old boss in a and a real tough bird over at the over the Senate put out a tweet earlier in his seven years as FBI director. Chris Wray has allowed the bureau to be politicized and repeatedly refused to answer to Congress and protect whistleblowers. Time to turn the page on Director Wray and Deputy Director Abate's failed leadership. I've seen enough all in caps. Chuck Grass, I think there's a seven page letter attached to that. That is the biggest single endorsement for a cash Patel you could possibly have Cash Solid day up on the Hill. Pete Hex is solid day. Joni Ernst I think spent a lot of time with both Cash and Senator Ernst with both Cash and with Pete. We're going to have many more updates early tomorrow morning, 10 o'clock when we launch. We'll be spending the night working on those issues related to the confirmation of President Trump's quite frankly, incredible team. I've got D. Cynthia Hughes joins. I want to play cold open for her. Can I go to the cold open for Cynthia Hughes? I want to look at everything. We're going to look at individual voices. Yeah, okay. But I'm going to be acting very quickly. Within your first 100 days. First day. First day. First day. Yeah. I'm looking for these pardons. These people have been there. How long is it?
Yoram Hazony
Three or four years?
Stephen K. Bannon
You know, by the way, they've been in there for years, and they're in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn't even.
Yoram Hazony
Be allowed to be open.
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay. Cynthia Hughes, I think the President, President Trump was channeling you, was he not, ma'am?
Cynthia Hughes
I mean, I think he's channeling several of us. You know, a lot of us that have been on the front lines of these cases. Steve, you know, working on this tirelessly, myself, Julie Kelly, Mike Davis, you know, Ed Martin. So I think that. And I think that President Trump, you know, he's fed up. He's fed up. We've watched the weaponization of government for nearly four years now, and even before that, when he was still in office. So I think that. I think we're going to see President Trump bring immediate relief on day one. What that will be remains to be seen. I think our focus has to be the people that are sitting in jail. It's over 300 people, close to 350 people. Many of them have been in jail for, you know, nearly four years now. You yourself, you don't know that. You saw a few of them. Julian Cater, he's been in jail almost four years. He was forced into a horrific and horrible plea agreement, spent over $200,000 on an attorney who basically had him hailed as a cop killer. He's going to have that tag on him for the rest of his life, Steve. And why pardons are going to bring immediate relief. It's not the end. These people have been obliterated. Livelihoods have been lost, homes have been lost, marriages are broken up, children haven't seen their fathers. The list is long.
Stephen K. Bannon
No, it's horrific what they did, by the way. Julian was in my cell block, not just my cell block, when my cell. Julian was catacorner. He was 10ft from me. And really, what they've done to him is beyond comprehension. And he had to stay. The guys were in the hellhole in D.C. they went out of the way. And folks have to understand, I don't care what Peter Baker, the New York Times, says, whatever every official, every cop, every prosecutor, every bureau of prison that essentially tortured these people are going to be held accountable because we're in charge now. You never thought we'd get back. You Never thought we'd get in charge. You thought you could take American citizens and just literally torture them. What was done to these prisoners is beyond comprehension as American citizens and people are going to be held accountable. Now I realize I left Peter Baker and those guys and Peter, oh, they're all gone. There's only a handful. Baker, you're a bald faced liar. Your wife's a bald faced liar. Okay, you're bald faced liars. And what I would like to see, Baker, is how long you could last in prison, how long you could last in D.C. jail. What happened here to these individuals can never again be allowed to happen in this country. That's what we have to. We have, we have an obligation, we have a duty, we have a responsibility to the Constitution and to every patriot's grave, all the way back to Lexington and Concord to set this thing right. And we are going to set it right. The people said, well, Steve, I said, look, I've got so many other things I could do with my life. I have to do this. We have to do this. President Trump said right there, it's going to start day one. Look at determination on Trump who's been tormented. They wanted to put him in prison for 25, 30 years. They wanted him to die in a federal prison. They wanted Trump to die in a federal prison. And if we had lost, they would have moved heaven and earth and lied and cheated all of it to make sure he died in federal prison. You don't think the tide's turning? Look at the Daniel, look at Daniel Penny. Look what we talked about in the first hour. Look at the Daniel Penny situation. Cynthia Beast was it? Walk us through what your group's doing now. How can people then. Because first of all, we got to get the pardons and we got to get all the pardons and that is not going to be easy. President Trump, I know he wants to do it, but man, there's already blowback on Capitol Hill. You got all these moderate groups that just want to say, no, just forget it, just forget them, move on. It's not going to happen. So we have a huge fight ahead of us. But tell us particularly to come up the Christmas season. I know you guys always do something special. What's going on with your group?
Cynthia Hughes
Steve, I just want to say one quick thing to you. You bring up Daniel Penny. Congratulations to Daniel Penney and his great attorneys. Tom Kenneth is a wonderful, amazing, profound fighter and that was proven in this not guilty verdict. But you know who we can't forget about and we need to start Talking about now that Daniel Penney is free, Derek Chauvin, he needs to be freed, he needs to come home. And enough with this. This weaponization of government. I feel America is speaking very loudly. We need to see Doug Mackey freed as well. And I think that's what we're going to start seeing. So, you know, God bless America. Steve, we are back. You know, we're still helping the families. We're still helping with legal fees. There's, there's, you know, even again, with the immediate relief from the pardons, there's still a lot of civil cases. I mean, President Trump has an enormous amount of civil cases that he's facing with regards to January 6th, and Julian Cater is on one of them. I mean, they're trying to, you know, get blood from a stone, as they say. I mean, Julian Cater's family is bankrupt. I know the Cater family very well. Mr. Cater was just here at my house two weeks ago, and the fight that he has put up for his son. We need to continue to raise money to help these people, you know, with civil cases. They have to defend themselves now in civil cases, and we have to file our own civil cases because these people have lost everything. And that is what we're working on now. And we're still taking care of the families. You know, the children. The children have been a big bone of contention for me. This is the fourth Christmas that these families will be separated from their loved one. Hopefully, for most of them, it will be the last one. They're still arresting people. I mean, since the election alone, Steve, we've had about 10 arrests or more. I heard from Rachel Powell yesterday. You know, she's going on one year now in prison. Her first Christmas separated from her children. She called me hysterical yesterday. There's no heat in her prison, Steve. They have intermittent hot water. I mean, this is ludicrous. It's. The D.C. jail is a wreck, and the prisons. The Bureau of Prisons needs a complete and total overhaul.
Stephen K. Bannon
The prisons, the prisons I can tell you from, had. Not in a camp. I was in a prison. The prisoners are treated like animals. Let me just. I haven't gone into detail. I'll do it later. But the prisons, the prisoners are treated like animals.
Cynthia Hughes
Thank you for saying that.
Stephen K. Bannon
They're treated like animals. It's, It's, It's. It's not acceptable in this country. And there's big questions of why a lot of these people are there, not just the J. Sixers. There's all kind of questions about the legal system. What's happening in this country for actually targeting against political. So where do people go to be able to support you or at least find out more about your organization if they want to lend some support?
Cynthia Hughes

Stephen K. Bannon
Cynthia, thank you so much. Go with God. We got your back and I look forward to talking to you. This process, not going to be easy, but it's got to be done. Not going to be easy, but it's got to be done. Thank you, ma'am. The investigation, first off, getting the pardons, getting them out, making sure they can get back ingrained into civil society. Cynthia is right. Need support for that. The investigations, the civil lawsuits they have to do against people that did this to them, it's going to be immense undertaking. But it has to be done. That has to be done. You can't look away from this. If you told me five years ago, producer, if you told me five years ago that when Notre Dame, the day we're watching that thing burn, watching that great church, the cathedral, Gothic architecture, also a cultural centerpiece of the Judeo Christian west in beautiful Paris burning, that five years later it would open and Donald Trump, that Trump would be back and walk in there like Charlemagne. It was stunning. What happened on Saturday was absolutely stunning. As a world leader and quite frankly the leader of the Judeo Christian West. Let's go ahead. Can we go ahead and play some of the. Can we play some of the music? Can we play the music or can't we? No gots. Okay. It's not playing. Let me take that back. I think we ought to try to get that clip and play it up. I'll talk to Grace. By playing it all, Nicole Negrady was inspired. One of our out songs and the one the audience loves more than anything is modern day Holy War. You were inspired, I guess moved by the burning of Notre Dame. Tell us about it. Five years ago when he first saw it, you wrote this amazing song. Give us a story.
Nicole Negrady
You know, I was at home and I was just stunned like everyone else. And I was standing a few feet back from the tv just kind of with my jaw dropped in disbelief over watching this historical building up in flames. And it's like I got struck with lightning and this, this saying came to me. This is the trigger event to the modern day holy war. And as an artist, I. It's moments like that that, you know, you're struck with divine inspiration. And that was one of those moments. And I scrambled to grab a piece of paper and wrote down modern day holy war in huge letters across it. And that started the beginning of writing that song. And it took me quite some time to actually really write the song and it took even longer to get it finished, produced. But everything in God's timing and the timing of that song coming out and being released, which was actually a year ago on your show yesterday, has just been pretty divine.
Stephen K. Bannon
Let's talk about that. We just, we had your. You know, I was thinking about this yesterday when we talked. It was the one year anniversary and we were going to do it today of the release of the song and really so amazing that the cathedral itself would actually be reopened after five years on the one year anniversary. We wrote the song. But I was thinking in Syria we had, you know, the Christians are under siege is one of the. It's the ancient home of the church itself in Damascus and Antioch. You had the Turks, they want to reestablish the Ottoman Empire. You heard Yurim Harzani talking about, you got the Persians with their version of Islam want to be supremacist. You got the Turks want to reinstall the Ottoman Empire. It's a modern day holy war around. You know, we're in the Christmas season around the very home of where the Birth of Christ is. Does it strike you as odd? Do you think somebody, you think divine providence in some way was working through you when you wrote this song? That every day that we go through this, it seems like what you're talking about in the song in the modern day holy war is upon us.
Nicole Negrady
Absolutely. I keep saying that I didn't, that, that that song wasn't, wasn't me that song, I was just a messenger. That song was coming from God to me. And I feel blessed that I'm, you know, someone who he entrusted with delivering the message. And the timing of everything just in the last 72 hours has really been very mind blowing and has really led me to this place of okay, well what's next for me in relation to all of these half happenings? And I'm just trying to stay plugged in, stay connected with God so that I can receive his, you know, stewardship and whatever it is next that I'm supposed to do.
Stephen K. Bannon
What tell us about. Where do people go to find out more about your music and to get the song and download it? We play, we try to play snippets of it every day on the worm and a couple of times, but people want to have the whole song. So where they go?

We're going to play the entire song to take us out today in commemoration of the one year anniversary of the song and also the reopening of Notre Dame where President Trump looked like Charlemagne. Right? He looked like Charlamagne back there. This, this king with all these munchkins around him. Where did they. Where do people find out more about you? What's your social media?

Episode Title: WarRoom Battleground EP 668: Deep States Tries To Pull Military Into Syria; Freedom For J6 Prisoners
In Episode 668 of WarRoom Battleground, host Stephen K. Bannon delves into two critical issues: the United States' strategic involvement in Syria amidst escalating tensions and the movement to secure freedom for January 6th (J6) supporters imprisoned following the Capitol riot. The episode features insights from political analysts, government officials, and special guests like Yoram Hazony and Cynthia Hughes, providing a comprehensive analysis of current geopolitical and domestic challenges.
Political Analyst Insights [00:00 - 00:39]
The episode opens with a political analyst emphasizing the strategic importance of Syria. Highlighting Syria's geographic position on the Mediterranean and its recent role as a battleground for Russian and Iranian influence, the analyst argues for a collaborative approach:
“This is no time for America alone. America is powerful because it is reinforced by strong friends. Work with friends to try to do America's best to bring security and stability to Syria.”
— Political Analyst [00:00]
U.S. Government Official's Statements [00:39 - 03:10]
A U.S. Government Official outlines the administration’s multi-faceted strategy in Syria, focusing on supporting neighboring countries, maintaining operations against ISIS, engaging Syrian groups for a sovereign future, and safeguarding American personnel:
“We will help restore Syria after more than a decade of war and generations of brutality by the Assad family.”
— U.S. Government Official [02:45]
Key points include:
Stephen K. Bannon and Yoram Hazony Discussion [05:09 - 16:41]
Stephen K. Bannon engages in a deep discussion with Yoram Hazony, a prominent geopolitical strategist, about the complexities of the Syrian conflict and the roles of regional powers like Israel and Turkey.
Key Insights:
Israel's Military Actions: Israel's targeted strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon significantly weakened Iranian influence in the region, leading to the destabilization and eventual fall of the Assad regime.
“The Assad regime fell because of Israel taking direct military action against Hezbollah in Lebanon.”
— Yoram Hazony [06:29]
Turkey's Ambitions: Erdogan’s vision to restore the Ottoman Empire and establish a modern caliphate poses a significant threat to regional stability. His support for various Sunni extremist groups exacerbates conflicts in Syria and beyond.
“Erdogan is open about seeking to restore the Ottoman Empire... his coalition includes the Qataris and Muslim Brotherhood chapters.”
— Yoram Hazony [08:58]
Three Major Coalitions in the Middle East:
“There are three coalitions you need to keep an eye on: the Iranian coalition, the Islamic supremacist movement led by Turkey, and the pro-Western alliance with Israel and Gulf states.”
— Yoram Hazony [12:41]
Stephen K. Bannon’s Concerns:
Bannon expresses concern over the potential for the U.S. to become entangled in further conflicts in the Middle East if strategic alliances are not managed properly.
“How do we back our ally Israel without getting sucked into this broader conflict ourselves?”
— Stephen K. Bannon [23:06]
Cynthia Hughes and Stephen K. Bannon's Discussion [33:14 - 41:28]
The conversation shifts focus to domestic issues, specifically the incarceration of J6 participants and the push for their pardons. Cynthia Hughes, representing the Patriot Freedom Project, discusses the personal and legal battles faced by these individuals.
Key Points:
Immediate Relief Efforts: Hughes emphasizes the necessity of presidential pardons to alleviate the severe personal and societal impacts on prisoners and their families.
“These people have been obliterated. Livelihoods have been lost, homes have been lost, marriages are broken up, children haven't seen their fathers.”
— Cynthia Hughes [35:02]
Accountability and Justice: Bannon highlights the need to hold accountable those responsible for the harsh treatment and prolonged imprisonment of the J6 participants.
“What was done to these prisoners is beyond comprehension as American citizens, and people are going to be held accountable.”
— Stephen K. Bannon [39:27]
Support for Families: The Patriot Freedom Project is actively assisting families with legal fees, civil cases, and emotional support, aiming to restore dignity and support to those affected.
“We are still helping the families... the children have been a big bone of contention for me.”
— Cynthia Hughes [40:21]
Notable Quotes:
“President Trump was channeling several of us... he's fed up with the weaponization of government.”
— Cynthia Hughes [33:35]
“You can't look away from this. If you told me five years ago... that Donald Trump would be back and walk in there like Charlemagne, it was stunning.”
— Stephen K. Bannon [41:28]
Nicole Negrady's Feature [44:01 - 52:19]

“That song was coming from God to me. And I feel blessed that I'm someone who he entrusted with delivering the message.”
— Nicole Negrady [46:16]
Symbolism of Notre Dame: The burning of Notre Dame serves as a catalyst for her song, symbolizing the loss of cultural and religious heritage amidst modern warfare.

“Here I am a little older, a little wiser, a whole lot bolder and I got something to say... Holy war count your blessings...”
— Nicole Negrady’s "Modern Day Holy War" [48:19]
Negrady’s song underscores the theme of cultural and religious struggles, mirroring the geopolitical tensions discussed in the episode.
Stephen K. Bannon wraps up the episode by reiterating the significance of addressing both international and domestic challenges. He emphasizes the importance of strategic alliances in the Middle East and the urgent need to support J6 prisoners and their families. Bannon calls for continued vigilance and action to uphold constitutional values and restore stability.
“We have an obligation, a duty, a responsibility to the Constitution... We are going to set it right.”
— Stephen K. Bannon [40:21]
