Donald Trump
Thanks to President Trump's tireless efforts to secure a lasting peace, I am glad to announce the signing of today's historic economic partnership agreement between the United States and Ukraine establishing the United States Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. This partnership allows the United States to invest alongside Ukraine to unlock Ukraine's growth assets, mobilize American talent, capital and governance standards that will improve Ukraine's investment climate and accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery. The Development Finance Corporation will participate and help to establish this fund in collaboration with the government of Ukraine. Today's agreement signals clearly to Russian leadership that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine over the long term. It's time for this cruel and senseless war to end. The killing must stop. And both the United States and the government of Ukraine look forward to quickly operationalizing this historic economic partnership for both the Ukrainian and American people.
Steve Bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. I 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.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
And where do people like that go to?
Steve Bannon
Share the big L by Maga Media.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
Steve 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.
Stephen K. Bannon
War Room here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
Steve Bannon
It's Wednesday, the 30th of April, year of our Lord 2025. The irony is not lost on me that on the 50th anniversary of American retreat from Vietnam, we just signed in Scott Bessant's office. Just let us know. He made that video moments ago and then just signed a document to set up this, the rare earths, the minerals deal and redevelopment with Ukraine. Of course, I want to make sure about how deeply involved we get in Ukraine. But I think you can say it's a foundational element President Trump feels he needs to do to actually bring a real cease fire there. So another historic day. President Trump on the 100th day to sign the minerals deal is very, very, very important. We'll have some details on that deal and go through it tomorrow. We're also going to do a special commemoration, 13,000, I think 13,000 participants in Ho Chi Minh City. I don't know we still call it Saigon. In Saigon today it's their victory parade. And of course the valor and courage of the Vietnam veterans will always be remembered. And we're going to give a very, I think a very appropriate. Towards the end of the show on the 50th anniversary of this, I have another cold open, another very important guest. Let's go ahead. And we got something now. The other night we had Ed Warder on by Skype and we're talking about. They had already passed this ruling that his father couldn't run a 26 others 130, although his father's up a bunch of points. You know the law firm, these out of control judges. Last segment we just had DC Drano. What the President United States may have to do is suspend the writ of habeas corpus for illegal aliens here in the country to get around the judges here In Brazil, they're 10 times worse. Let's go ahead and play this clip and we'll bring in Eduardo. That breaks my heart right there. Eduardo Bolsonaro joins us in the war room. Eduardo, that happened about an hour after you were on the show the other day. Tell us what went on there.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes, this is made. This video shows official envoy, official court. The television where I sent to the. Is an ICU there. It's not only that he's in the hospital, but it's an ICU. This is 100% against the Brazilian law. By the way. The law in Brazil do not permit, do not allow things like that happen. And it was 10 days after a 12 hour surgery of my father. And the question is, I want to.
Steve Bannon
Make sure everybody particularly a new reviewer. It's 10 days after a 12 hour surgery. That is how many surgeries has he had going back to the assassination attempt?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
This last one was the seventh.
Steve Bannon
So seven surgeries. This last one took 12 hours.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes, it was the most.
Steve Bannon
And he's 10 days. He's still the most invasive. He's still there all hooked up, hooked up to his.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
He wasn't even eating. Because if you see the tube that come through his nose is to feed him. So he cannot eat. But Alexandre Moray sends someone basically to stress him. And I have no answer for that. But in proposal to bring some damage to his health, because in my opinion what Alexandra Mora is looking for is to kill my father. Because they know that doesn't matter what they label him as racist, xenophobic, Nazis, whatever, it didn't work. He got elected. And now still, if you look for the polls, he's leading the Pools and now even outside of the margin error. So in a second round, Bolsonaro against Lula. Bolsonaro is about six points ahead of Lula. So they are really disrespirated the establishment of Brazil led by Alexandri Morales. They want to kill my father or at least convict him and send him to jail still this year. So there is no way that it Bolsonaro could even try to run on the next year election. Because you are going to ask me, Eduardo, he cannot run. Yeah, that's right. But because two things. Because he met ambassadors and criticized the electoral process and because in 2022 when he was sitting president and in 2022 he made a speech after the Independence Day military parade using no public money for that. So it's two very weak reasons to do not let Bolsonaro run to be the president.
Steve Bannon
They're made up reasons. There's no reason to this. This is all they're trying. Number one, they stole the election. I would actually argue that. And we know in the show that they stole the 2020. And the American people know that's how they restored President Trump to the presidency. I would actually argue that a more brazen stealing of the election than even President Trump, which was as brazen as you could get, was a stealing of the election from your father. The Chinese Communist Party and the Marxists, both in the court system and Lula in hardcore Marxists must control the resources and assets from the Amazon and all the agriculture and all the recesses resources of Brazil. And they're not going to let anything stand in the way. This is essentially like the Bolsheviks in 1917. Anything on that I'm incorrect?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes, sure. And if I can add, Steve Lula like five months ago signed together with Xi Jinping 37 agreements, some agreements in the area of energy, satellite communication, uranium, all of these reserves. So basically China, what they are doing in Brazil is the same playbook that they did with Africa. Trying to play all the assets, bring some nice infrastructure to Brazil.
Steve Bannon
And this is one predatory capitalism where they lend you money you can't pay back and then they own the asset.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes. And it's still on their hands. And the fact that I'm here is also because they were threatening to seize my passport if I go back to Brazil. So now I'm exiled in Texas. If I come back to Brazil, Alexander de Mora is. He was going to seize my passport. He made official request to the attorney general asking about that. Because if I come back to Brazil, my party said that I was going to be the chairman of the Foreign affairs and National Defense Committee, which is the first committee in the Congress to analyze these 37 agreements. Because after the president signed the agreement, the Congress has to approve. And so it would be on my hands. Imagine that the power that I would have in this relation between Lula da Silva and China. So it's a high risk that I'll be representing the interests of the Brazilians that do not want that Brazil become China. So is everybody connected? Everything is connected. If you look, it's so clear and they do not hide that anymore. If you see this official court going to summon to serve my father inside of icu, it's just unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Steve Bannon
Well, I want to go. So they put these charges up of a coup d'etat, which your father was just questioning about the stolen election. So then they charge him with coup d'etat. Then you get into the process and they come up with this ruling where he can't run in 26, but maybe he'll run it in 30. He then has to take a timeout from the other trial to go for surgery. This 12 hour surgery, the seventh surgery. Was it the feeling that the that was just going to be delayed indefinitely or just kind of go away or did you guys have a sense? Because it looked like as soon as they laid out that you couldn't run in 26, then they came in and dropped the hammer. Even if they had to go into the ICU and give it to, and give it, you know, serve your father basically right there with the trial's not going to be delayed and we're going to get you back.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
They learned with you here in the United States. So the message, what they talk behind the scenes, the Supreme Court is we have to convict the Bolsonaro as fast as possible. So we are not going to repeat the mistake of United States that lets Trump run. So this virus is coming back to Brazil and now you are facing problems. Trump is facing problems here with judges like in courts trying to stop of his orders, like people non elected. You know, it's unbelievable that it's the same thing. It's not hard to explain to the Americans, to your audience what is going on in Brazil. But in Brazil they are more aggressive is the same virus. The problem is that in Brazil we have less antibodies than United States. But we hope that it's coming a good help from the United States.
Steve Bannon
Oh, no, no, no. We're going to get to that about what's going on and what's going on behind the scenes and what would be public I want to go to a character our audience is very familiar with, Lula. We have spent years going through it. They know he's a Marxist, a hardcore communist. He's been totally corrupt, been in prison for corruption. I mean, it's obviously one of the most corrupt guys in the world, a junior partner of the ccp. But they're not that familiar with Morales. Talk to us about the courts. I think what's shocked people here is because the courts here make some radical decisions, but the judges try to downplay who they are in their role. This Morales is almost like a Bond villain from a Bond movie. I mean, he's very aggressive. He's very. In the media, he's almost like a supervillain. Right. Explain who he is and why does he have so much power?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes, he has so much power because the only one that can stop him is the Senate. But the speaker of the Senate already said that he's not going to move forward impeachment procedure against moraes. So he's 100% comfortable to do whatever they want. And you have no one to appeal. You know, he's in the Supreme Court and he like to show himself as someone aggressive. So he intimidates other people. Like you had the January 6th here. We had the January 8th, 2023 there in Brazil. What Morales is doing, like, he is getting the passport, he's freezing banking accounts. He convicted more than 400 people because of that. For punishment of even 17 years in jail. You will have a couple of people that have more than 70 years old.
Steve Bannon
That are 70 years in prison.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
17 years in prison. For example, Ms. Irasina Gashi, she is 71 years old. You have some others that they have more than 70 years old. These are the terrorists in Brazil that Moraes is sending to jail, saying that he's doing that to protect our democracy. But they are only like they are paying the bill, as we say in Brazil. They're paying the bill to be the argument for Alexander de Moraes to arrest Bolsonaro. Because the crimes that they say that Bolsonaro is charged for are crimes that go to almost 40 years in jail. So we guess that they're going to convict my father for something about 30 years maybe, and then send him to jail, like forever. Because my father Nowadays, he's 70 years old. But even like that, he's still leading the polls. Now imagine if he was able to run and there was no confusion in the political scenario of Brazil, how many voters would say that they were going vote for Bolsonaro? What I want to say is if Bolsonaro can run, he easily will have easily more than 55 or maybe 60% of the votes in Brazil in the next election. Because now even 55 or 60. Yeah, I would say. I would say that because.
Steve Bannon
And you can see this from the crowds that he's been drawing. I mean, these crowds, I've never seen crowds like this. I mean, you guys have had these big crowds historically. It's kind of the way you first got started, people running in the airports. In fact, the first time I met you in the summer of 2018, we talked, I said, look, you guys have got this. Just keep doing what you're doing. The only thing I warned you, I said, because Bolsonar would come to the airport and every different part of the airport would come in and meet and toss him up like a soccer game. I said, I'm concerned about the security. And two weeks later, the assassination attempt. A guy came in and knifed him. And it turned out to be much more serious than we knew at the time. Now seven operations, the last one for 12 hours. His popularity increases because of his principles and because of the personality, I think also because of how much he's giving to Brazil, particularly in coming back like he has. That's why they hate him more. That's why they have to. That's why they have to send him to prison.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yeah, sure. And it's still nowadays like that, like we did one month ago, big rally. And when we do rallies, I mean, we go to the streets and people just show up in Paulista Avenue in Sao Paulo or even in Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro. We are talking about at least of half a million people on the streets. Sometimes like last year, it was about 1 million people on the streets. So his popularity is increasing because people realize when they go to the supermarkets, the prices of everything is going up. Doesn't matter how much Lula da Silva paid the mainstream media in Brazil. People realize that the life is going to get worse and worse. And we do not have a pandemic and we do not have a war starting in Europe. So imagine Bolsonaro, president with no pandemic and no war starting in Europe. It would be like a dream of a government. And if you think that you are going to have Trump, United States, Meli in Argentina, I hope that Colombia and Chile are going to overturn these left wing presidents on the next elections. That will be almost the same time of Brazil. We can have the whole region far away from the left. I guess for the first Time in history.
Steve Bannon
No, it reverses what the San Paulo, the whole thing of them trying to make Sao Paulo, trying to make Latin America communist. It would be a complete reversal. That's why they must put your father in jail.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes.
Steve Bannon
And they must in jail. Is there any doubt in your mind once he's in prison, they're going to try to have him assassinated?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes. And this will be the consolidation of the regime. It will be like. We are in a point, Steve, to your audience, understand we're in a point that still diplomatic medicine can have effect after they consolidate the power. If they put someone from the left next year again in the presidency, or someone from the. As I can say, like a permitted right as president, the controlled opposition.
Steve Bannon
You're saying forget about.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yeah, forget about that. Brazil will be like Venezuela. You're going to see here in the United States more and more Brazilians coming to leave United States because people will lose the rope and the Lesion de Morais will be the whole powerful man, you know, ruling the country and doing whatever he wants. So this is a nightmare. But still we have a window of opportunity that if Alexandri Moraes got a sanctioned with OFAC sanctions, this could stop his dictator willing.
Steve Bannon
And explain to our audience why, because. And people in Brazil should know this, this is getting the scrutiny at the highest levels here in Washington D.C. because Morales is so out of control. And people in Brazil should understand it. Explain to people what OFAC means, why it's so important here as something to actually start to bring Morales to justice.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
OFAC sanctions is basically in popular language is the death penalty, is the financial death penalty. So it means that the person who received this sanction, they cannot even have a credit card, you know, Visa or MasterCard, American Express credit card. Because he will be out of the SWIFT system for international transactions. He's forbidden to open a bank account. I mean, if a bank allow him to open an account in the bank, this bank cannot use the SWIFT system where the supercomputers are here, United States. So it's basically what United States did recently with other justice of the Supreme Court, but from Venezuela, Michael Moreno, and also with Karin Khan, which is the prosecutor of the icc, the International Criminal Court. And it sure will send a huge message to the Supreme Court in Brazil. And I don't think that any other of the 10 justices that we have in our Supreme Court, they could have the same courage of Moraes to go ahead with the censorship, with the persecution against the right, the human rights violation. Because we have even a guy that died in prison. His name is Clazon. He died in prison. And he was arrested because January 8th. And his lawyers and even the Attorney general asked Alexandri Moraes to release him. But Alexandri Moraes did not release the guy. And unfortunately he was died in jail. And Alexandri Morales is doing way more, only to finish with this answer. He was sending arresting warrants against American citizens. Imagine that, a lady called Flavia Cordero, he was tweeting, talking about the Supreme Court here in United States, and Alexandri Moraes was sending arresting orders against this lady. So you have a bunch of arguments to sanction Morales. And what I see behind the scenes from people around the White House and around the Congress, I don't want to talk about their names. This issue is getting hotter and hotter, and I guess sooner or later Trump is going to do that. And we have a big hope that it can rescue our democracy in Brazil.
Steve Bannon
Would this. Will this shut down? Will this shut down? Will this shut down Morales immediately? You call it the financial death penalty. What it will mean, what will it mean for him personally?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Personally, like, doesn't matter how much money he has, he cannot spend the money. And doesn't matter who anyone else that do contracts with him or any kind of commercial relation with him, they also receive the same kind of sanctions. So he basically, he's isolated. No one is going to be together with Moraes.
Steve Bannon
Why has it been so tough, do you think? Why do you think it's been so tough to get this why do you think it's been so tough to get this rolling today?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Because we have to bring all the information that what is happening in Brazil to the authorities in the United States. And this is so hard because Trump, he has so many things to do. If you look to the hot hostages in Gaza, you still have hostages in Gaza on the hands of Hamas. You have the Ukrainian war, you have the concerns about the Panama Canal and some other things that are going on. You know, all of the illegal immigrants that are here, criminals that he has to send back to other countries or to jail in El Salvador. So the whole world is coming here to knock on Trump's door, and it's tough to get an opportunity to get the attention of the authorities. It's not that they do not want. I mean, they are really opening the doors.
Steve Bannon
Yes.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
I'm very grateful because of that.
Steve Bannon
Yes. I also think it's caught some people by surprise. I mean, not the war policy, but I think it's even caught people in this town by surprise. How radical Brazil has gone so quickly. They know about Lula. But to see that the courts are actually, I would argue, more radical than Lula.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes, for sure. If you ask me, what is the number one enemy of the democracy in Brazil, it's Alexandra Morais. It's not Lula for sure. Lula is support.
Steve Bannon
You're saying he's the number one threat to democracy. The Supreme Court. The Supreme Court justice, yes.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes. Because basically he's killing the opposition. There is no way to have a free elections next year with Alexander Mora is that powerful like I, I have. I also, I'm also leading the post for the Senate by the state of Sao Paulo next year. By far. By far. But I'm sure that he will not let me run because if we build the majority in the Senate, we can impeach him. So 100% that he's looking for all the people.
Steve Bannon
You think that he'll come up with phony charges if you were to go back and try to limit you to running from running to 26, for sure.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Not only me, but all the other conservative people that is looking forward to run for the senate. This is 100%. Because in Brazil we have a law, Steve, that if you receive a conviction from the Supreme Court, you cannot run. We say that is the clean background law. You need a clean background to run. So the judges, they have this power to control who is going to run and who is not.
Steve Bannon
Why don't you hang on? You're going to hang on through the break. Eduardo Bolsonaro joins us in the house. Eduardo is now living here in the United States, at least temporarily to this situation gets. Gets sorted out. I can tell you this is at the highest levels and people in Brazil, you know, messing around with Bolsonaro. He is a revered world figure. It's kind of shocking to me. You see that when they're going into the ICU unit and serving him with some document to continue the trial when everybody knows, okay, if it's got it done, it's got to be done. You don't need to do it that way. You're just trying to. You're trying to instigate trouble. Right? And I think people see that Birch Gold, the Rio reset July 6th. We're going to do a run up to that.

Steve Bannon
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. Okay, big breaking news on the Senate floor. This resolution to stop tariffs just lost 49. 49 tie vote. That means it doesn't pass. A lot of gamesmanship there at the end. But it did not pass. Very important, would never pass the House Johnson never brought up. However, they would use it to credit club Trump not working. President Trump signs the rare earths minerals deal with Ukraine. That's now part of the peace negotiation. So that thing the Russians and the Ukrainians now will be closer. At least Americans and Ukrainians be closer together. And some economic development. President Trump says I need this to get the peace deal done. A lot happening here on a Wednesday night. President Trump's going to be in the town hall on News Nation tonight. I will follow him shortly thereafter. So Grace will have it up. President Trump first, Stephen A. Smith and Jim Carville and Bill O'Reilly I think are the panel with Chris Cuomo and then I will join shortly after President Trump sometime. So we'll get you the time probably around 8:30 or so. Eduardo Bolsonaro is still here. He's got a bolt. In a moment. Mike Lindell. The reason I want Eduardo stick around for a couple of minutes. He's here for his dad. Everybody's working on this. Something's going to happen. But this all stems from a stolen election. His reelect. Just like they stole President Trump's reelect. If memory serves me correctly, sir, In August of 2021, at the first cyber symposium, a young man stood up and made about a 20 or 30 minute presentation about how they were going to steal the upcoming election in Brazil. And that young man is Eduardo Bolsonaro. Am I, am I correct in that?
Stephen K. Bannon
That's right, Eduardo. He got up there and he said they're going to steal our election too, just like they stole yours. And he was 100% right. And his father was the Donald Trump of Brazil. They loved him there. And it was they get a guy fresh out of prison, Lula, not fresh. They get him out eight years early. Come on back and press a couple computers. And there you have it, everybody. Another stolen election.
Steve Bannon
This was the height of us contesting President Trump's defeat that August it had built up through Arizona. We went to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. You came up and I sat there at the time. And I go, wow, this guy really knows what's going on in these elections. Is that the way they stole it? The way you outlined in Sioux Falls in August of 2021? Is that how they eventually stole the election from your father?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes, if you wanted to see. There is a lot of suspicions about the ways that they can do the fraud. But the mainly one it was presented there, if your audience would like to know how it is, is only look the videos that are on Internet. And thank you very much, Mike Lindell, by the way, because you are the man that made that event happen and gave us opportunity to explain to the people before the elections what we were fighting for. And we still fight fighting nowadays than in Brazil, because the machines that we use to vote are a black box. There is no way to recognize and I guess United States should not recognize in elections in a country where you cannot do it, when you cannot do recon the votes, where the process is full electronic.
Steve Bannon
It was your fault. It was your father's asking for some sort of audit of the machines that they said he was doing a coup. Correct? After the thing happened?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes, yes, we. For like 15 years at least. My father, when he was a congressman in the Congress, he was fighting for what we call the printed vote bill that we approved three times in the history of the Congress. But all the three times the Supreme Court said no. And this bill basically says that you need a printer aside of the electronic machine that we use to vote, to print your vote, so you have a chance to recount the votes in case of any kind of suspicions. But I don't know why the Supreme Court never let it happen.
Steve Bannon
It was amazing because later when it happened, I said this was a called shot. Eduard walked through that, through that entire thing. It was just amazing. Mike, I know you're jammed. Sell me some sheets. Sir.
Stephen K. Bannon

Steve Bannon
Mike Lindell, you're a patron warrior. We'll see you tomorrow morning, brother.
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, thanks. Say hello, Eduardo. Go get him.
Steve Bannon
Hey, Mike, thank you so much and we'll see you tomorrow. And thank you for putting on the cyber. The cyber conference. Remember you came up there. Okay, we got a couple minutes left. I know you got to head to the airport. What do you need this audience to do? You guys are dialed in. There's so much happening now on. On Capitol Hill and in the executive branch to make sure this situation sorted. What should this audience do? What do you need them to do.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Is talk with your congressman. If you have the possibility to talk with someone inside of the White House, even through the social media, is ask President Trump and his team secretary Marco Romeo to support these sanctions against Moraes and stop these virus from Brazil to come to United States. I'm sure that President Trump is not going to let Brazil go into the hands of China during his administration. And for sure he's a great human being and he's looking for the human rights in Brazil and also to preserve the free speech of the Americans. So this is our number one thing that we have to do now. If we Have a hope that Brazil can overturn all of this communist socialist system down there. We are talking about a country that is half of the South America in terms of territory and population is very important. We have very, very minerals, a lot of things going on.
Steve Bannon
Amazon is one of the great people and the greatest resources in the world. One last thing I just want the audience to understand. We say Virus and you mentioned Venezuela. It will be 10 times worse than Venezuela. And here's why. The Chinese Communist Party, whatever you say, they're around, they got the fleet. But it's not as direct the involvement as it is in Brazil. If we lose Brazil, if this is not taken care of and we lose Bolsonaro, we lose Brazil. It changed the direction of South America for 100 years. Right? You now have Beijing, the Chinese Communist Party with a captured country of one of the great countries in the world. And the Amazon. It can't happen. You can't let this go.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
If Bolsonaro go to jail and they consolidated the power, Brazil is going to turn into a Venezuela in numbers proportionally. We are talking about 50 million people getting out from the country to where you think all of these 50 million people are going to try to go.
Steve Bannon
You're saying 50 million. If this, if Bolsonaro doesn't come back, we don't win this. And you're up in the polls right now. The people of Brazil want him. You're saying that with the collapse of Brazil, 50 million people will look to emigrate out?
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Yes, because we have 25% of the Venezuela already left the country. 25% of Brazil is 50 million people.
Steve Bannon
You're a great man.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Thank you, Steve.
Steve Bannon
Thank you. Thank you so much. Every time you come by, I tell you the team you have here in D.C. the guys working on this and down in Miami, is absolutely extraordinary. I have not met a better group of folks than the Brazilians. And your dedication, not simply to your father, but to the cause of freedom for your country is extraordinary. And people have no earthy idea about what they've put the Bolsonaro family through. And this is coming from a guy who went to prison. So I know when they're putting pressure on it, they deplatform you, they debank you to put it. But the pressure the they've had on you and your family is extraordinary. And that was why your dad is one of the great men of the 21st century. So thank you so much. Appreciate you. 50th anniversary of Vietnam let's go ahead and. Let's go ahead and do we have today in Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City, they had a celebration commemoration. 13,000, I think, to 15,000 people in the streets. Let's go. Can we go and play that for a second?
Stephen K. Bannon
13.
Steve Bannon
Okay, we're going to go ahead and play it.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Hanoi.
Steve Bannon
Absolutely incredibly brutal war. The heroism and the valor of our troops in Vietnam, just. And it went unheralded at the time. And it shouldn't have the 50th commemoration. The dark days, though, as bad as it was in the dark days of that war, it only got worse after today, 50 years ago, because the Democrats in using Watergate and other things, had taken over the House. Cut off all money, no kind of transition, just cut off all money. So then you had the killing fields. That's when you had Cambodia and Laos. All of it just horrible. And we don't even know how many dead rumored or estimated to be 20 or 30 million people. One of the most shameful moments in American history when we basically cut and ran from. From South Vietnam, given everything we had sacrificed there, all the people we had sacrificed, all the young men and women, and not just the deaths, but also the injuries and what had done to the families. Just absolutely incredible. We put together, from Emma Lou Harris, not a particularly well known song of hers. Bang the drum slowly. We've. Our team has put together a. In, I guess, in memoriam, let's go ahead and play that and I'll come back.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
But right now, he's in charge of the lives of 21 men. Somewhere in this jungle, there's several hundred North Vietnamese soldiers who could wipe out this little American unit to the last man in an unguarded moment. Today, though, it's quiet. A few bunkers uncovered, then a quick lunch and back down the trail to the pickup zone. Just a peaceful walk in the sun.
Okay.
Steve Bannon
Okay. Would you roll then.
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Away from it?
Steve Bannon
I'll just you from here.
Emma Lou Harris
And still we found the ground beneath your wheels how did it feel? Bang the drum slowly obey the 5 lom d bang the drum slowly I speak of things holy above and below the world without any. I meant to ask you how everything seemed the most your fate was in a game of dice they tossed There was still that line that you would never cross at any cost Meant to ask you how you lived what you believe with nothing but your heart up your sleeve and if you ever really were DC why the delight and below me world without him gone now is the day There is peace tonight on the song of my life Life was to be sung by the light oh the moon you I meant to ask you out of love that feel I meant to bring you water from the well and be the one beside you when you fell could you tell from dust? We begin making the drum slowly us.
Steve Bannon
I thank our, want to thank our production team for doing that. I think we're going to replay those tomorrow. Both of them. The one from the morning and the after afternoon. Emma Lou Harris, I think it's Lucy O'Kane is the writer of the song that's a version done by Emma Lou Harris. And for O'Kane, I think it was a homage to her father, and I think it's about the homage to her father who fought in World War II. But a magnificent, great job on the production team. This is why you have to think through all of this. You know, President Trump, one of the biggest focuses he's got is swords into plowshares. Of course it's going to be a big defense budget. But one thing he's doing, and this is why today they signed the economic deal with the Ukraine. President Trump's working nonstop like he's got any time at all to do the. Any time at all to spare time. But he's, you know, one of the biggest things is to stop the kinetic part of the Third World War. This is when people throw around these loose terms. We gotta go in and bomb Persia, we gotta take out the nuclear things. Just to go back and think about Vietnam, right? The what is it? The 20 years we spent there, the casualties, the what was given up. And then to essentially walk away from it all and leave the Vietnamese people and the people of Southeast Asia that had partnered with us and just cut them off and leave us. Leave them. That's the Democrats, that's the Democrat Party did that. You can't blame that on anybody else. And you see the blood and sacrifice of what happened. It just, and you can't have this happen again. This is why you very much, particularly people who are hawks who believe in the use of national security in moments when you really need it, you have to be very, very careful about that. You can't go around bombing everything. This is the lessons. Think about it 50 years ago today and think that the elites in this country, the lessons they didn't learn, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, right now, the same group, the same exact group, is sitting there putting pressure on President Trump to start bombing in Persia. And I will tell you from the experience of a very young naval officer back in, I don't know, 1979, 1980, that you get tied up with Persia you get tied up in a land war over there, you get tied. You're not going to go in and bomb it. It's going to be much more involved than that. In the last place on earth, you watch your sons and daughters. Next to the jungles of Vietnam is on those hot dry plains and in the mountains of Persia. We've sacrificed enough in that part of the world. We got to be smarter, we got to be tougher. And I mean we have to be relentless to get what we want and to get what we need. On national security, great stuff will take us out. We're going to be back at 10:00am Eastern Daylight Time tomorrow morning. Going to be back in the world. Be packed. Wall. Wall. See.

Hope you're all doing well. My name is Trevor Comstock. I'm one of the co creators of Sacred Human. And I wanted to share just a little bit more about our brand. For those who may not know of us yet, but about six months ago we decided to launch Sacred Human with really the simple mission being to provide American made natural supplements without all the artificial nonsense. So unfortunately, as many of you know, a lot of these big corporate supplements will include things like like preservatives, artificial ingredients and other additives that really aren't benefiting your health. So that's why we created Sacred Human, really trying to fill this gap of quality supplements. And of course, the beef liver being our flagship product. For those who don't know, beef liver is loaded with highly bioavailable ingredients such as vitamin A, B12, zinc CoQ10, etc. And because it is 100% grass fed and natural, your body is able to absorb these nutrients far better than taking any other synthetic multivitamin or any other synthetic vitamin in general. So we have some other amazing products, but if you'd like to check us out, you can go to sacredhumanhealth. Com and cheers to your health.
Podcast Summary: Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 758
Episode Title: The Real Threats To Brazil’s Freedom, Remembering Vietnam 50 Years Later
Host: Stephen K. Bannon
Release Date: April 30, 2025
In this pivotal episode of Bannon's War Room, host Stephen K. Bannon delves into two significant topics: the pressing threats to political freedom in Brazil and a solemn reflection on the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. The episode seamlessly intertwines contemporary geopolitical concerns with historical lessons, offering listeners a comprehensive analysis of current events and their broader implications.
The episode opens with a statement from former President Donald Trump, highlighting the establishment of the United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund. This historic economic partnership aims to invest alongside Ukraine to bolster its economic recovery and foster a free, sovereign, and prosperous nation.
Notable Quote:
Donald Trump (00:34): "Today's agreement signals clearly to Russian leadership that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine over the long term."
This initiative underscores the United States' commitment to supporting Ukraine amidst ongoing tensions, positioning the economic alliance as a cornerstone for lasting peace and stability in the region.
A significant portion of the episode features an in-depth discussion with Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Eduardo provides a compelling account of the political turmoil in Brazil, focusing on the persecution of his father and the broader threat to democratic freedoms.
Notable Quotes:
Steve Bannon (01:54): "This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people."
Eduardo Bolsonaro (05:23): "This virus is coming back to Brazil and now you are facing problems. Trump is facing problems here with judges like in courts trying to stop his orders."
Eduardo details the assassination attempt on his father, which resulted in multiple surgeries and a prolonged ICU stay, attributing these attacks to the judiciary's biased actions against the Bolsonaro family. He vehemently criticizes Supreme Court Justice Alexandre Morais, accusing him of authoritarianism and collusion with left-wing forces to undermine Brazil's political landscape.
The conversation intensifies as Eduardo Bolsonaro sheds light on the maneuvers of Justice Morais, whom he portrays as a "supervillain" intent on consolidating power and eliminating opposition. He alleges that Morais is instrumental in curtailing Bolsonaro's political ambitions through fabricated charges and legal obstacles.
Notable Quote:
Eduardo Bolsonaro (09:14): "OFAC sanctions is basically in popular language is the death penalty, is the financial death penalty."
Eduardo advocates for international sanctions against Morais, explaining that OFAC sanctions would effectively isolate him financially, thereby curbing his influence and ability to manipulate Brazil's political system.
The discussion further explores the political rivalry between Bolsonaro and his successor, Lula da Silva. Eduardo argues that Lula's administration, in collaboration with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), is leading Brazil towards a socialist and communist future, jeopardizing the nation's autonomy and economic stability.
Notable Quote:
Steve Bannon (12:07): "And people in Brazil should understand it. Explain to people what OFAC means, why it's so important here as something to actually start to bring Morales to justice."
Eduardo emphasizes the necessity of preserving Brazil's democratic integrity and warns of the dire consequences should Bolsonaro be incapacitated, likening a potential loss to the nation turning into "a Venezuela in numbers proportionally."
Transitioning from contemporary politics, the episode commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, honoring the valor and sacrifices of American troops. Stephen K. Bannon draws parallels between the historical retreat from Vietnam and current geopolitical strategies, cautioning against repeating past mistakes.
Notable Quote:
Steve Bannon (43:34): "One of the most shameful moments in American history when we basically cut and ran from South Vietnam, given everything we had sacrificed there."
Bannon reflects on the long-term repercussions of the Vietnam War, underscoring the importance of strategic foresight and the avoidance of prolonged military engagements that lead to significant loss and instability.
In wrapping up the episode, Stephen K. Bannon reiterates the critical nature of the issues discussed. He emphasizes the urgent need to address the threats to Brazil's democracy and advocates for vigilance to prevent the resurgence of authoritarianism. The episode serves as both a call to action for supporters of Bolsonaro and a reminder of the enduring lessons from Vietnam's legacy.
Final Notable Quote:
Steve Bannon (39:44): "If Bolsonaro doesn't come back, we don't win this. And you're up in the polls right now. The people of Brazil want him."
Overall, this episode of Bannon's War Room offers a fiery and passionate examination of Brazil's current political crises, framed within a historical context that underscores the importance of strategic political maneuvering and the preservation of democratic values. Through Eduardo Bolsonaro's firsthand accounts and Bannon's incisive commentary, listeners gain a nuanced understanding of the challenges facing Brazil and the broader implications for global geopolitics.
