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. 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.
- [00:29]
Mike Lindell
It's going to happen.
- [00:31]
Stephen K. Bannon
And where do people like that go to share the big lie? MAGA Media I wish in my soul.
- [00:37]
Brandon Showalter
I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
- [00:41]
Stephen K. Bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

Tuesday 18th February year of our Lord 2025. We've got Leahy and Brandon Sherwood are going to join us. Michael Patrick Leahy has a mind twisting story coming out of Nashville that we followed now for a while. We're going to get that in a second. Mike Lindell. Mike, a big day for you. I want you to share with the audience eight years ago today, what happened?
- [01:19]
Michael Patrick Leahy
Sir, I gave a full surrender to my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. You guys always see me wearing my cross on TV years I wanted to be that person. And I said it this morning on the show. Like when I wrote my book, what are the odds? From crack addict to CEO. I look at mathematics to prove God exists. And all through my life I'd see a one in a million happen or a one in a billion or something that was impossible. And I would say to myself, when you call it a miracle and call it for what it is, well, then things started happening to me starting in 2015, leading up to 2017. I remember being at the White House. There's a sex crack addict from Minnesota sitting with the president. And we went live to the nation and my friends at home are going, what is this crack addict doing next to the president? Jesus is real because this would be impossible. And in February 18th of 2017, I did a full surrender and it was like a burden lifted off me. People say to me all the time, how do you get through with all the attacks and everything? I give it to the Lord. I can be proactive in prayer. I can stay in the word. And I was able to forgive myself like Jesus forgave me and for things that happened back in the 80s and 90s that I couldn't let go of. And I was able then I said this too. Believe it or not, everybody, I had a fear of speaking in public, I couldn't talk to more than two people. It was like a fear of rejection that overtook me. Well, you don't get rejected if you don't talk. Well, after I got saved, I was at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. It was a big Christian event. And they picked me to pray in front of 60,000 people. And I'm going, this would be impossible if it wouldn't have been for getting saved. And so it's a very important day, the most important day. And I'm going to be giving away a CPAC at the door. Everybody, everybody gets a free book. It tells that story in there of how the miracles that happened in my life that led up to me being saved. And it's free. It's free when you get through the door. So everybody get to see Pac and they can. I want to. I'm looking forward to seeing you all there. And I'm going to be there the whole week. And it's going to be. It's going to be amazing.

Stephen K. Bannon
Mike Lindell going to making part of the Force Multiplier event. Event as we can go to cpac.org still get your tickets 76 bucks. Cpac.org war room. $76. We want to see everybody there. It's going to be incredible. We got a huge space, made the space even bigger for this year. Got a big stage. We're going to do the show on live. Poso is going to do the show there. So it's going to be very exciting. Can we. Let me get. Let me get to Leahy and to Brandon, because I then want to play President Trump. Before we came on Real America's Voice was covering it live. Boy, dropped a couple of bombs, dropped a couple of bombs on Ukraine in this negotiation, going to Riyadh, as we said and predicted he would do. President Trump's kind of moving on and wants to cut a deal here, wants to make a deal and doesn't want to not going to spend a lot of time and not going to wring a lot of hands about Ukraine and Zelensky, Europe and all that. They got to step up and the Europeans got to know, and they're over in Paris. Hey, if you want to continue on, continue on. Go back to your citizens and ask them for some dough. American taxpayers are tired of paying for this crap. Michael Patrick Leahy, help me out here, brother. When this thing went down with this Christian school and had that amazing, awful video of that young woman who came in and shot up the school and the kids and the teachers, you. And you've been on this like a dog with a bone. It came out that there was a manifesto when they went to the house. Now, it was implied or said because there's some things about notes she left, but notes. And then there was a manifesto. It was implied. Like it was a page or two, like some of these manifestos are. They're written on the back of a piece of paper and left at the house or whatever you're reporting. The manifesto is nine. And by the way, the FBI just went out of the way to shut this down. I think you went to court. One of the judges, I believe, was all over you to tell you to butt out. You were getting a lot of grief. And I know. I've known Leahy well, I've known him for a long time. But eight years ago, he started the Tennessee Star when he had this idea of doing these independent kind of papers around the country. So Leahy, last night, I get a thing from you. The manifesto is 900 pages. It's like the size of War and Peace times two. Is that what you're telling me, brother? And the FBI has refused to release this.
- [07:26]
Cash Patel
Yeah. The manifesto is the writings of Audrey Elizabeth Hale that cover A period of time of about 20 years. Remember, she was 28 when she killed all those people at Covenant School here in Nashville. On March 27, 2023, we, as you know, obtained 90 pages of the last three months of her life from sources legally, and we ended up publishing those 90 pages. But we have been litigating against the FBI on this since May of 2023. A federal judge is still looking at that. We want to get all 900 pages of this manifesto. Now, what's interesting about this, Steve, which we found out a year and a. Just a week and a half ago, we were approached by a source familiar with the investigation who told us that on the day that the metronational Police Department and the FBI went to the house of the killer to obtain a bunch of documents and obtain evidence that they were told by a Nashville police captain not to log all of the inventory that they obtained. And some of that inventory was taken and squirreled away by the FBI. This is what we were told by a source. And Metro National Police has not confirmed anything related to that. So the other part about this is interesting, Steve. The Metro National Police chief said that the transgender killer, Audrey Elizabeth Hale, legally purchased seven guns. Well, we can account for five. Two are missing. Where are they? We don't know. Our source says that they, they believe those guns that are missing were in plain sight on the day of the murders, March 27, 2023, when the police went into her bedroom that afternoon and they have not been seen since. And they were not entered into the inventory log.
- [09:31]
Stephen K. Bannon
So what does that tell us? Why? I mean, isn't that kind of odd that they can't locate a couple of the guns?
- [09:37]
Cash Patel
Well, what it tells us is that this investigation has now been going on for almost two years. Metronational Police Department has said they're not going to close it. Remember In May of 2023, the Behavioral Assessment Unit of the FBI in Quantico sent to the Metronashville police chief a memo, three page memo on protection of legacy tokens. What is a legacy token is a document or materials left behind by a mass murderer. And in that memo they said that they should not never release these because it might have a bad influence on certain vulnerable communities. And oh, by the way, they said there's a precedent for destroying these documents. Now, we put that aside for a while, but with this new claim, which has not really been refuted by Metronashville Police Department other than to say they know nothing about it, we think there's a possibility that some of this evidence may have been taken by the FBI. And so when I think we have the new FBI director, which should be, you know, tomorrow night, we're going to ask to have all of these documents released, and we're going to request an audit of all the inventory found at the behavioral assessment unit of the FBI in Quantico, Virginia.
- [11:01]
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay. Okay. There's nobody. There's no speaking on the floor. I'm not told. I'm told that Durbin is going out of his way to trash our own cash. Patel. Let's find out why.
- [11:13]
Mike Lindell
Is.
- [11:15]
Stephen K. Bannon
Make the case. I'm gonna go to Sherwood in a second. Why is this important? Besides, there's freaks out there that want to get in and look at all this stuff. But for the citizens of the community, and the community and the nation as a whole, why is it important to review and to make public the 900 pages of this young girl's inner thoughts? Sir?
- [11:39]
Cash Patel
Well, you know, Steve, there may be some possible connection between the recent arrest of this Zizian cult guy, right? The transgender killers, allegedly, allegedly connected to six murders, possibly including the murder on the afternoon of January 20th in the Vermont area of a border guard. And there were rumors here in Nashville that there was a trantifa connection to Audrey Elizabeth Hale. We never really got to the bottom of those, but we suspect that there may be some kind of connection there. That's why this is important. And I think the FBI may well have been withholding a lot of this evidence from the public.
- [12:27]
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, hang on for a second. You just mentioned something I want to get into because we reported, and Laura Loomer was all over this. The shooting of the border patrol guy and border patrol officer in Vermont by H1B visa overstay from Germany. Turns out the story is much more complicated. It turns out, correct me if I'm wrong, they're part of a transgender cult that has been killing people on a murder spree across the country. Do I have this correct, Michael? Patrick, go ahead.
- [13:01]
Cash Patel
It's the weirdest story, Steve. They just arrested the purported leader of this group, 34 year old, I think his name is Jack Lasota in Maryland, on sort of unrelated charges, but those sort of. In the general sphere, the influence area of this group called the Zizians. This guy, apparently transgender person, had been blogging about the use of violence. Many six murders are connected to this group in ways that police are very interested in. So it seems. What we have here, I think, is the possibility of a very, very violent transgender group that has been on kind of a murder spree. And that may have influenced a number of other kids around the country who thought they were transgender. And that's perhaps maybe one of the reasons why we've seen this growth of transgender kid violence at schools.
- [14:08]
Stephen K. Bannon
I want to go to Brandon Showalter. Brandon, you're the first and the reason. Look, this is a classic type of story we don't cover unless it has major political implications. You were the first years ago on the show to say, hey, look, one of the reasons I'm doing this is not just for the individual issues with families and breaking up families, but this. There's something darker here. We know in the 2024. This is one of the. This is one of the major issues that resonate with the American people to say, hey, look, I don't know what's going on here. It's more than just men and women's sports. There's something not right about this. You know, last night I saw a political analyst that just said, hey, simply, these look like the party it was. Reince Priebus was on ABC that Sunday morning. Reince with Jonathan Carney. Reince goes, hey, look, people looked at the TV screen and said, hey, this looks like normal and this looks weird, right? And I think I'm back normal. Brandon, you alerted us to these dark issues, possibilities, and now it looks like stuff's happening all over the country. You got cults doing it. You have somebody with a 900 page manifesto or these writings are not being released. What is going on? Is this something at a public policy level that has to be addressed?
- [15:20]
Dave Brat
Sir, I absolutely think it needs to be addressed, and I'm glad to see the federal actions that are being taken. But one of the things that I know you like to say a lot, Steve, is that this is not my line of country. But you recognize that this is demonic. I've heard you use that word. And I can attest to what Mr. Leahy is saying about the Zizians terrorizing. I've got friends up in Vermont who have told me these stories about how horrified they are about what's happening there. I like, and I wrote this in a column recently, Steve, that with these executive actions, the federal executive orders that President Trump has signed, not only with the women's sports ordeal, but also declaring there are only two sexes, and that throughout the administrative state, only science is going to rule two sexes, male and female. And then the ending of the child medicalization one, where they're asking Pam Bondi to do investigations, and they're asking that WPATH's guidelines which is the activist group that's been transing the kids. It's been co opting all the major medical associations. I liken it to cutting down asherah poles and destroying altars to baal. Because when you see the government taking its authority against these, I believe, diabolical strongholds and doing righteous things, I think that affects things in the realm of the spirit. Obviously, we need to keep praying. I would say to people, you know, celebrate the developments, have one glass of champagne, but not two. Now is the time to stay alert and vigilant because trans activists do not take no for an answer. It's a death cult. And now is the time when you watch even harder because a wounded anim goes down fighting when they're cornered. And so finally we have some leverage from a meaningful institution that's going to address this scourge head on, and that needs to continue.
- [17:17]
Stephen K. Bannon
I just want to take a kind of get a sit rub. Given everything you warned people about, everything about the medical community, all that. Where do you think President Trump stands both with the executive orders, his executive actions, what DOJ is doing, what they're doing in the. They're being hung up in the courts. But where do you think we stand and how intense and fierce is this pushback from that community and broader from the progressive movement?
- [17:42]
Dave Brat
Sir, it's a great start. I think the executive order, especially the one calling the mutilation and the surgical mutilation and chemical castration of children a stain on our nation's history, was unequivocal. That's going to be where the most fierce pushback is. That's where we really need to direct our prayers. Of course, gender ideology ruins everything it touches. And I care about sports and other things, but when it comes to giving these drugs to children that I believe do confuse them and drive people mad. I don't want to make the correlation causation fallacy and say that taking testosterone caused Audrey Hale to shoot up that Nashville school. But I believe what is going on is demonic, and I have no qualms saying so. And so. Now, Steve, is the time when the saints of God like Mr. Mike Lindell and everyone else who knows the Lord to pray, pray, pray, because this battle has to be won in the realm of the spirit. But the executive actions are very much a step in the right direction. And I hope that as the Justice Department investigates and other agencies take their actions, that we will see just a great unveiling of the atrocities that have been happening nationwide. We need more action.
- [19:00]
Stephen K. Bannon
Brandon, before I let you Bounce given understand this is a war and this is a spirit war. However, the medical community that was making a ton of money off this and some people there I don't think believed in it, but knew it was a way, a new path to make money. Is the medical community standing down, understanding where President Trump and the MAGA movement and the people who won the election are and how controversial it was? Are they pushing back as hard as they've always pushed back on this topic?
- [19:30]
Dave Brat
They're being very stealthy, Steve. Some hospitals, even prominent ones like Children's Hospital, Louisiana has said that they're pausing these transitions, quote, unquote, transitions on children. Others are going to fight back. That's why I say we need to be very alert because I think they're being very sneaky and stealthy. Trans activists don't hate no for an answer, even when you pass laws with teeth. These people are ruthlessly committed to their cause. And so I think there's going to be kind of a mixed bag. And so that's why I'm emphasizing that people really need to watch because this is going to be a bitter, brutal fight. They are making money off of them, but I think they are finally some of them are at least on their back foot. But again, I would watch very closely because they don't take no for an answer. This is a cult dogma. It's a cult of death.
- [20:17]
Stephen K. Bannon
Brandon, social media, your writings, Christian Post, all of it. Where do people go? Your documentaries, all of it.
- [20:24]
Dave Brat
Thank you, Steve. RandonmShow on X ChristianPost.com is where you get our print reporting. GenerationInDoctrination.com is our documentary podcast on the issue. Deadnamedocumentary.com is about the film, indie film that I was a part of that explores how families are shattered by this. And I have exciting news on that front. It's now on Amazon prime and Roku and Apple tv. A couple years ago, Vimeo tried to censor it. Now, thanks to its distributor, we've got it on the major platform. So the sensors have lost. So you can go see deadname on those platforms now, too.
- [21:01]
Stephen K. Bannon
That's amazing, Brandon.
- [21:02]
Dave Brat
It is amazing.
- [21:03]
Stephen K. Bannon
God bless you. Great work.
- [21:05]
Dave Brat
Thank you, Steve. Thank you.
- [21:07]
Stephen K. Bannon
Thank you, brother. You talk about the election in 24. Brandon Showalter this a guy came from nowhere. We platformed him here on the show. Major impact. Just like Todd Bensman with overrun, one of the most important books written recently shock people of what Biden had done. And remember what just like Brandon, these are not random occurrences. This is well Thought through and very organized behind the scenes, that's what you're saying. Both in the transgender ideology and of course, the invasion of the southern border. Spiritual war, sir.
- [21:37]
Brandon Showalter
Yeah, Brandon's absolutely right. Spiritual war. But the spiritual war, there's no distinction in the Judeo Christian west between the spirit and the flesh, Right. The Greek had that disconnect where there's Gnosticism and there's this spirit floating all over heaven, it turns out is going to have cities and countries and everything. And so Brandon had it. All, right? What's roughly going on is Romans 1, right? Humanity is serving creation and not serving the Creator. And then if you look at the greatest command, right? Love God and love your neighbor as yourself.
- [22:12]
Stephen K. Bannon
And God above all things.
- [22:14]
Brandon Showalter
God above all. And the hardest. And the thing a lot of people miss in there is love your neighbor as you love yourself. And so while we want to judge these folks and it's demonic, they do not love themselves. And so there is grace to be extended there, but they need to learn how to love themselves. And unfortunately, God back in Genesis 1 is the God of order over chaos. And these folks, a lot of these folks are rejecting order. They prefer the chaos. It's easier, it's much harder to try to love someone and live with someone in community. That's hard. And the Jewish tradition has been great on the material world. If you listen to Jordan Peterson and his new thing on John the Baptist and Jesus going to get baptized the first time, you should see how many links there are to Genesis 1 in the Baptist baptizing Jesus. It's incredible, the linkages. If you haven't seen that, go watch it. And so people are going to think this is a leap. This ties right into our budget conversation we've been having. Brandon just pointed out over the past 12 years, Obama on through Biden, these things have been incentivized. These behaviors have been incentivized through policy. In the past, I never would have made those linkages. I'd be going, no, that's. That's a stretch. It is not a stretch when you see just the extreme exponential rise of these crazy behaviors and they're tied to explicit policies. And then in this budget fight, our speaker, who's a Christian guy in Thune and the Senate, most all of them are Presbyterians and Episcopals and whatever.
- [23:56]
Stephen K. Bannon
This is all an HHS budget.
- [23:58]
Brandon Showalter
And they're going to fund. They're going to fund all of this and you're going to get. And it is splitting and killing our culture. And it's it's ruining our children along with the debt and the interest on the debt. And so, yeah, no, it's just, it's spiritual. It's a spiritual.
- [24:13]
Stephen K. Bannon
But there's payments all in there that should never.
- [24:15]
Brandon Showalter
It's real.
- [24:16]
Stephen K. Bannon
Right. Have you noticed any difference now that President Trump's taken over in any of your interaction, do you expect action by the FBI? You expect, by the way, cash, I guess they're voting cloture right now. Think they're getting close to cash. I think the vote's going to, I think it passed. Okay. On Thursday. I think we're going to have Cash's confirmation. I'll look at that in the break. Mike? Joe, Patrick Leahy, you've been on this from the beginning. Do you anticipate any more cooperation from FBI, law enforcement and to get to the bottom of this and make sure that something like this can't happen again anywhere in the country, but particularly in Nashville?
- [24:53]
Cash Patel
It's all going to change as soon as Kash Patel is confirmed as the director of the FBI. You know, we wrote a letter before the election to the FBI demanding the release of the documents. They said no. Heck, no. Then just a couple weeks ago, after President Trump was inaugurated, we wrote the same letter to them and they said, we'll think about it. Well, I think after Cash Patel is confirmed, they're going to be thinking real quick and I think we'll have not just the Covenant Killers manifesto, but I think we're going to have a lot of other information that the FBI has been concealing. And it's not going to be a good look for the Biden administration.
- [25:38]
Stephen K. Bannon
And longer than the Biden administration, Trust me. I think there's some stuff in there that going to shock a lot of people. Michael Patrick Lee, how did they get to your show? How they get to the Tennessee Star, all your papers and your social media, brother.

Mike Lindell
Thank you. Yes.
- [31:28]
Stephen K. Bannon
We'Re hearing that Russia wants to force Ukraine to hold new elections in order to sign any kind of a peace deal. Is that something that the US Would ever support?
- [31:38]
Mike Lindell
Well, we have a situation where we haven't had elections in Ukraine. Well, we have martial law, essentially martial law in Ukraine, where the leader in Ukraine, I mean, I hate to say it, but he's down at 4% approval rating. And where a country has been blown to smithereens. You got most of the cities are laying on their sides. The buildings are collapsed. It looks like a massive demolition site. The whole, I mean, so many of the cities, I mean, they haven't done it in Kiev because I guess they don't want to shoot too many rockets in there. They've done it 20%, but they haven't done it 100%. If they wanted to do it 100%, it would probably happen very quickly. But you have cities that are absolutely decimated and Yeah, I would say that, you know, when they want a seat at the table, you could say the people have to. Wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say, like, you know, it's been a long time since we've had an election. That's not a Russia thing. That's something coming from me and coming from many other countries also. You know, Ukraine is being just. Just wiped out. Look at what's happening to the cities that there are cities. There's not even a building standing. It's a massive. It's. You talk about Gaza. I mean, it's. It's literally these cities look like Gaza.

Stephen K. Bannon
Thank you, Mr. President.
- [32:57]
Brandon Showalter
Could you tell us a little bit more about the Russia talks, your impression of how they went today? And if you're perhaps more confident or.
- [33:03]
Stephen K. Bannon
Less confident of a deal after what happened today?
- [33:06]
Mike Lindell
Well, much more confident. They were very good. Russia wants to do something. They want to stop the savage barbarianism. I mean, what. What's going on over there? It's. Soldiers are being killed by the thousands on a weekly basis. It's ridiculous. And they're not American soldiers. They're Russian soldiers and they're Ukrainian soldiers, largely, although a lot of Koreans have been killed. As you know, quite a bit of them have been killed. They came over to fight, and a large portion have been wiped out. But we want to. We want to end it. It was. It's a senseless war. It should have never happened, would have never happened if I was president. And it's a shame to see it. And I see pictures that you don't see, but I see pictures of fields that look just horrible. It looks like Gettysburg. If you see the old pictures of Gettysburg, it's soldiers lying all over the field, body parts all over the field. They're all dead. And this is going on on a daily basis. It's a horrible thing. Both Russia and Ukraine, they're losing thousands and thousands of soldiers, and a lot of people have been killed, too. I think that's one of the things that you'll see historically and you'll see later on as it goes along. I think people are going to be surprised at how many people, not only soldiers, have been killed in Ukraine. A lot more people than you think. I want to see peace. Look, look, you know why I want. Because I don't want all these people killed anymore. I'm looking at people that are being killed, and they're Russian and Ukrainian people, but they're people. Doesn't matter where they're from on the whole planet. And I Think I have the power to end this war, and I think it's going very well. But today I heard, oh, well, we weren't invited. Well, you've been there for three years. You should have ended it. Three years. You should have never started it. You could have made a deal. I could have made a deal for Ukraine that would have given them almost all of the land. Everything. Almost all of the land. And no people would have been killed, and no city would have been demolished, and not one dome would have been knocked down, but they chose not to do it that way. And President Biden, in all fairness, he doesn't have a clue what he. He was so bad for this. He was so bad, so pathetic, so sad. But with all of that being said, look, we. It is what it is. When I left, there was no chance that this could have happened, but it happened because we had incompetent leadership at many different levels. But when you see what's taken place in Ukraine, with millions of people killed, including the soldiers, millions of people killed, a big percentage of their cities knocked down to the ground. I don't know how anybody even lives there. You know, when they say they took a poll and zelenskyy is at 4%, who's living there? You know, I mean, people are. It's hard to believe that people live there. Their cities are being knocked down. And this is something that would have never happened. And by the way, for four years, it didn't happen. Was never going to happen. Go ahead.
- [35:57]
Stephen K. Bannon
That right there took four minutes, five minutes. That's one of the most powerful. That's right off the top of his head. Let me say it a different way. That's right from his heart, right there with both barrels. MSNBC and all the warmongers that goaded, just like Mersheimer said. Dave. Brett Mersheimer called it. He said the west is going to lead Ukraine down the primrose path because it wants to take these guys in Western Europe and all the elites want to take on Russia. They're going to lead them down the primrose path to their destruction. And they'll fight. They'll stay there and fight until the last Ukrainian dies. President Trump right there lays it out. This is clarity. This is moral clarity. This is also a man that can step into a decision and bring this horrible thing to an end. Just so you understand history, when people talk about World War II and World War II and World War II, this, World War II, that from 1939, September 1st, which is kind of the official beginning of the European war from September 1939 all the way until basically the German army in June of 1941. And in 1941, within six months, the Germans go against the Russians in Operation Barbarossa, and then the Japanese attack us six months later in Pearl Harbor. So 1941, really, when it kicks off, if you take that time, I don't know, you got a couple of hundred thousand dead at most. Invasion of Poland, the invasion of France, the blitz of London. There's some other operations going on. There's obviously some stuff with their techie in North Africa and so forth. There's activity, but there's nothing compared to what happened in Ukraine. You have to understand the scale of this debacle, the scale of this tragedy. For what? For what? We said that on this show on the eve of that war and all day long on cnn and all these experts who all mocked Trump the entire time, because go back. This is when Trump was in the wilderness. Trump had no power and wasn't coming back to power. Except for this audience who knew you had a leader that had moral clarity, it would have never happened. And they mocked and ridiculed him while they goaded on Biden and the people with blood on their hands. Boris Johnson, Joe Biden, the elites in Europe, NATO, Petraeus, all of them, Stavridis, the whole Morning Joe crowd, David Ignatius, MSNBC and primetime, all of you have blood on your hands. And right there, so succinct, in four or five minutes, he lays it right out. Boom. And I'm telling you, he is going to make a deal with Russia that we can finally counterbalance the Chinese Communist Party and bring peace and then have hemispheric defense here in Europe and Paris. They're going to have to figure it out. We bail you out. In World War I, we bailed yet again. In World War II, we bailed yet the third time in the Cold War. No more. You're not a vassal state. We don't want a vassal state. You're all over top of us on tariffs, right? You're always gaming the system. We're done. And not that we're an ally, but an ally is an equal partner. You guys have sucked off the American people and what they're doing now, the elites are sitting there and they're in shock that finally Trump has come back and stepped into a decision and go, guys, this is what I think of you, and this is what I think you've done. You're not even in Riyadh as part of the negotiation. And Zelenskyy lost it and the Europeans are losing it because Trump sent him a message. Hey, I'm going to sit down and make an overall geostrategic understanding. I think a rapprochement between the two parties and the Europeans and Zelenskyy particularly. And President Trump gives a shot across the bow. Hey, he's at 4%, right? Dave Brat, as a former working politician, how brutal was that shot from President Trump?
- [39:54]
Brandon Showalter
Well, as a former seminarian, I mean, the left's heads are going to pop off when I say what I'm going to say. But the Atlantic, if you go out to the Atlantic right now, their lead article, death of the government expertise. Death of government expertise. What Trump is doing in his genius is just bypassing the expertise. Look who the expert is. Look who ended the war. Look who had no wars. Look who started all the wars. Now, let's go over to moral theory, which always trumps everything. No pun intended, but moral theory always trumps everything. And there's only one moral theory I know of. It's the moral theory and the narrative of the Judeo Christian West. And so there's a nice little story called the Good Samaritan. And so you got all these Atlantic, you know, expert class that say they're apolitical. They say they're apolitical experts. Well, there's three folks that walk by this man on the side of the road who's been beaten up. You might call those the million dead and injured Ukrainian boys. So there's a million dead and injured young boys laying on the side of the road, all bloodied, all missing limbs. And where is the expert class? They just walk right on by, those dead boys, right? And where is Trump? There's too many boys being killed. I'm going to end this. I don't like dead boys. We're going to end this. Talk about moral clarity, right? The Good Samaritan. Ask yourself the question, as Jesus posed, who did good? Who glorified God? And the idea for the left to comprehend that, the idea that Trump glorified God more than they have in their actions, he's saving lives and they're killing people. And they roughly did it, right? Mearsheimer and all the great theorists or whatever, I mean, the idea. And we talked about Kennedy this morning, rising follow great powers. The idea that Ukraine is. And I love the Ukrainian people, by the way. I've been there and I visited with them, all the religions, the Ukrainian people I got. I love them.
- [41:52]
Stephen K. Bannon
They were. Look at the valor and courage they had on the Battlefield is unbelievable.
- [41:57]
Brandon Showalter
It's unbelievable.
- [41:57]
Stephen K. Bannon
And. But lives thrown away by these people.
- [41:59]
Brandon Showalter
And the idea that they're going to be Russia, it's ridiculous.
- [42:02]
Stephen K. Bannon
It's ridiculous for those territories. And by the way, the blood is not on the hand of those people. The blood's on the hand of the West. Mersheimer said it in 2014. The west is going to lead these people down the primrose path with a bunch of false promises and false hopes. What we try to do is not give them false hope or false promises. We're not going to be here. We don't want to be here. We shouldn't be here, and we won't be here. And that's what happened. And now they've been led down to destruction. President Trump keeps saying, a million dead and wounded Ukrainians and 500,000, 750,000 dead or wounded Russians. And here's how we know if something's up. It's the parents of the Ukrainian young men, men between 18 and 26, that said, you are not going to have this draft go down to 18. You're not going to kill my sons. You're not going to throw them into the charnel house there on that Eastern front. We're not going to let Zelensky do it so Zelensky and his wife can be on the COVID of fashion magazines. We're not going to do it. Remember, Hollywood lauded him. Davos lauded him. This was, again, you know, people on the right. I remember all the tweets, this guy's Churchill. I said, this guy's not Churchill. This is absurd. Boris Johnson, that whole crowd led to this point, and President Trump just gave it to you with both barrels right there.
- [43:16]
Brandon Showalter
And the elites and the experts and the State Department and the CIA will still tell you, and they will tell the leadership in the Republican Conference. You guys just don't understand. You still got to trust us, right? What we're doing is we. Even though this looks awful and a million are dead, we're diminishing Russia. And what we're really doing is we're fighting for democracy. I mean, that is the only narrative they can spin, right? We're doing all of this for democracy, and it's just on its face. Zelensky probably can't get elected. He's not elected. He's not the presently sitting president of Ukraine. He doesn't represent the people. The RCIA did a coup d'etat on Ukraine in 14. RFK Jr has great snippets on that going way back to the fall under Gorbachev of the wall, we said. James Baker III said, we will not move an inch to the east. That's what our elite said. That's what our elites. That was the moral promise. We took over all 14 or 15 of them, made them NATO countries. Ukraine was the final buffer. And Russia said, no way. That's the red line. That is the red line. They can get rich, they can be democratic, they can be Christian, but they cannot be NATO.
- [44:31]
Stephen K. Bannon
Let's even get Paul.
- [44:33]
Brandon Showalter
We didn't listen.
- [44:33]
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, breaking news coming across from Brazil. President Bolsonaro has been indicted for coup d'etat. And there we go. That message should have been delivered, you know, by our State Department or others that this is a line you do not want to cross. What they're doing to President Bolsonaro is exactly what they try to do to President Trump and is the exact same gang. Okay? It's the deep staters down there, this radical judge. We're going to try to get Paulo Filo on. They're going to join us in at cpac, but I want to have them on. So breaking news right now. And they were saying it might be Thursday, but it looks like he came tonight on Tuesday, President Bolsonaro of Brazil. And I'm getting this from one of his closest associates. They're telling me right now that it's beenthat he has been indicted for coup d'etat in Brazil. And we don't know if they indict him or if they're going to let him out of jail, prison or they think we're going to get into this. This is bad. And you know, he got invited to the inauguration and they wouldn't take his passport right there. I think a lot of people that are close to the Brazil situation said, hey, they're cooking up something if they don't trust President Bolsonaro to come to the president United States inauguration sums up. How big a deal is this? Bolsonaro being indicted for coup d'etat.
- [45:54]
Brandon Showalter
That's South America, right? We're talking about this hemisphere and we want our friends. Where's our State Department and CIA and all the experts and bureaucrats? We keep losing the good guys and we. And we lose to the communists and the socialists over and over and over. How is this when the expert class has been in charge for all these decades? And so I think President Trump's probably going to throw some weight around on this and at least we're going to bring some transparency to it. And hopefully at cpac, they've been doing a good job on some of these international issues. And so people used to tuned.
- [46:30]
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, tomorrow night we're actually hosting with Rick Renell. We're going to host the international dinner. I think there's right now going to be 60, 70, 80 people there. There's going to be a panel discussion beforehand. Make sure you go to cpac.org if you're in the area. 76 bucks. We got a special discounted ticket. They just announced that vice president states J.D. vance is going to speak on Friday. I thought he was going to close out. I think somebody just sent out they might open the day. I'm sure his schedule is jammed. So they're going to figure it out. But there's a bunch more surprises coming at cpac. Tomorrow we start Force Multiplier. Dave Brat will be there. I'm trying to get Mike Davis over. Natalie will be there. Before she goes over the White House, we'll have Grace Mo, Jane Zirkel, Calamity Jane is going to be with us. It's going to be amazing. I'm really looking forward to this because CPAC is going to be very special this year in the Force Multiplier Academy. I want to finish with budgets and spending. Yeah, we look the thing and look on the two reconciliations. We've argued for two reconciliations for a long time because I think we did. The tax thing is going to be more complicated. They're now saying that the. I think it's $1.5 trillion over 10 years. I believe it is for the Social Security, which is about $150 billion. It's a real number. But it has to happen. The way they're spinning it, the think tanks are on the employed by the wealthy. Is that, oh, the wealthy make out too much in the tax. Fine, let them. Let them. If you look at the assumptions, that's not actually the case because they don't really fill in with what could be filled in. Hey, understand it. Maybe the wealthy gonna make it okay. But the middle class and working class need that cut on Social Security. But we gotta address spending. Yeah. Right now it's demonstrable. The spending is what is driving inflation. There's no political will we understand to do it. So it's gonna have to be forced. Right. How do you force it? We have a forcing function on midnight on the 14th, but we're going to get a. We're going to get a one year CR and the Doge guys. And look, I've got a lot of differences with Elon Musk, but not about Doge on doge, we need, first off, we need the DOGE audit cuts now and then later the structural changes. So obviously, I think, you know, OMB and Treasury and guys should work together and maybe some of their disclosures should go through those agencies first before they go out. But that's a kind of a side issue. Number one, they're saying $84 billion. If that's in this budget year and they're shutting down, that's got to be in the cr. And I feel very uncomfortable doing the CR for the whole year and then saying afterwards, well, we're going to do rescissions, we're going to do impoundments. That's great. And I'm fully supportive of this theory of impoundments. But the impoundment situation, you're a constitutional scholar. That's going to go to the Supreme Court, is it not? Because that's a tad controversial.
- [49:15]
Brandon Showalter
Yeah, no, that, that'll go to the Supreme Court Right. Along with all this other weaponized Justice Department stuff and the Dems fighting back. But you know, the War Room posse, I've been, I've been encouraged because I watched the numbers on the War Room and they've. After the election, I thought, and I hope people stay fighting and the numbers are staying on the War Room. And so everyone needs.
- [49:36]
Stephen K. Bannon
Oh, people are in the fight. We're not losing our audiences and not just at the intensity and urgency of the engagement. The audience is more engaged than ever. So people understand that. A slight celebration. They're back at work, though.
- [49:47]
Brandon Showalter
And so you look at what Steve's doing, it can be summarized kind of in a word, Accountability. The accountability project. Right. For congressmen, senators. The problem is the folks at home keep electing these people that vote for $7 trillion budgets.
- [50:01]
Stephen K. Bannon
That.
- [50:01]
Brandon Showalter
That's the problem. So what can be done? I mean.
- [50:04]
Stephen K. Bannon
Well, they go back and dodge it. How do they dodge it? Because, you know, people like their congressmen, but these guys go back after. And we don't have House Freeman caucus about 40 people. When you were there, they would single you out as being hardcore. You were an anti spending guy.
- [50:18]
Brandon Showalter
Yes.
- [50:18]
Stephen K. Bannon
Right. Back when the budget was $4 trillion. Three and a half trillion.
- [50:22]
Brandon Showalter
That's right.
- [50:22]
Stephen K. Bannon
And you were anti spending then. Right. And they went out of their way to make sure that they didn't have Dave Brett to have to worry about.
- [50:29]
Brandon Showalter
Yeah. No, they forced discipline when they want to. Always for the donors. For the, the giant Excel spreadsheet in the sky, I called it. That's where they're willing to go to the Mat and fight. And so what can we do? It's the Federal Reserve, right? John Taylor on the. On the money you do rules versus discretion. And so if the leadership cannot do it, they need to admit they failed.
- [50:54]
Dave Brat
Right?
- [50:54]
Brandon Showalter
They for decades they failed. We're at 60 trillion, right. In debt in a decade. 36 plus 20 plus foreign interest. Right. So 60 trillion in 10. It's unsustainable. The bond vigilance.
- [51:07]
Stephen K. Bannon
Oh you're not even 52. You're adding another 8.
- [51:10]
Brandon Showalter
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [51:12]
Stephen K. Bannon
We'll talk about that tomorrow. Yeah. Okay. Social media. We get a bowl. Yeah.
