This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. You're just not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen. And where do people like that go to share the big L Maga Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my task and.

Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.

Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, Thursday 29th January, year of our Lord 2026. One more time. Caroline Jeffords, Kurt Olson, Cleta Mitchell, the Favoritos, Tamara and garland. Jason Frazier, Dr. Jan Johnston from the Georgia Election Board, and obviously Sally Grubbs and many, many, many more volunteers. Hundreds, hundreds, maybe thousands that have worked on this. Yesterday was a huge day and we would have never gotten there without you. And so now it's time to press on. It's a criminal investigation, as the FBI informs me. And so they're taking this obviously very seriously. If you saw the search warrant, it's quite detailed. We're gonna have more on that also. Ben Berkwam is gonna join us in a moment. We're gonna go to the cabinet meeting in a moment. Berquhom asked a magnificent Berquhm. I'm so proud today. He's so well trained. His question was magnificent. I told him at the time it was amazing. And all that sea of people making huge money. Ben Berkwom, cut to the chase with Homan. And look, the president's trying to not accommodate. He's trying to be open and say, tell me what you got. And all they're doing is slapping him in the face. Fry and Ellison, just see him on MSNBC last night. They're a sanctuary city. They're not going to force any immigration laws. Ellison couldn't have been ruder last night. And remember what Homan said is that I had a good meeting with Ellison, that he went there, he good and he may. He may. Why don't we throw him into. What do you mean he may? Tom, brother, he may. That's a violation of federal law. Let's go in and roll him up. Let's roll up the guys in charge of the prisons, give it a time, give it a day or two. But may, if they don't do it, go roll them up, brother. You're trying to be accommodating. I got it. I got it. And the targeted enforcement, we got to see them on the streets. The roving patrols in the streets work. You know why? We had 2 million self deport. That's the best solution is say they figure, hey, I can't do this anymore. All the freebies are gone, right? All the freebies are gone. I can't use the health care. I can't use anything. And so it's just, it's absolutely terrible. What is the Ben Berkwam. Hey, Ben, I got Matt Boyle. I got to get to Boyle. Do we have his clip that we can play? Let's play the clip because I want to get ball starts too. This is Ben Berkwam at the press conference of Tom Holman today. Let's go and let it roll.
- [03:23]
Ben Bergquam
First off, Ben Berkwom, real America's Voice News. On behalf of the American people, I just want to say thank you to you and to all of the agents that are putting their lives on the line to go after the people that were allowed in in the last administration. We watched that happen in the media, the honest media covered up by many of the media that are behind me. We want to say thank you and to all the men and women that are out there, can you talk to us about what's being done with the leadership on these signal chats, on these WhatsApp chats that are organizing the attacks against you, the obstructing obstruction against you? Are there, Are we going to be arresting those individuals as well? And to the folks out there in America that voted for this, that want mass deportations because they saw a mass invasion under Joe Biden, what would you say to them? How are we going to get to that point?
- [04:10]
Tom Homan
Well, first of all, about the organization and the funding of the attacks on ice. I'm not going to answer a lot about that because I'm not going to show our hand. But they'll be held accountable. Justice is coming.
- [04:28]
Mike Lindell
Again.
- [04:29]
Tom Homan
We got to all remember the questions we've seen and why we here. What started this four years of an open border where millions of people are letting this country unvetted. Remember, let's not forget, for four years we were told the border secure. Four years we were told the border secure. And we all knew it wasn't. And I want this to be a positive thing we're doing here. Today I also want to remember the politicians are continually attacking us. Where were they the last four years when the number of women, children, sex trafficking went an all time high? Where were they when a quarter million Americans died from fentanyl come across the border? Where were they when women and children are dying? Making that journey? World Day will file the force of over 4,000 families making that journey died historic record. Where were they? Not a word. Now we're just trying to respond to what happened last four years and keeping this country safe. And we're arresting a lot of public safety threats, taking them off the streets, which makes this country safer. President Trump promised to make this country safe again and that's what we're doing. But my three two and a half days up are we made a lot of progress. I think everybody agrees on the criminal and public safety threats. They agree it's much safer and easier to arrest an alien in a facility than send a whole team out in the field. That's going to draw anger because now we've got to send a bunch of people do something that could have been done by one or two people. And I've said this for years, I have no ill will to anybody. Everybody in Minnesota, all the people I talk to, we're never going to agree on everything. We have different philosophies and different opinions on immigration. But we all agree this is the way to go to reduce safety. Reduce crime. Not reduce safety, reduce crime and increase safety for our operations. More people in the jail means less people on the street. The simple math.
- [06:49]
Stephen K. Bannon
Boy, I'm going to go to you. I'm so proud. Ben Berkram, magnificent question. I'll take small credit for the formation of Ben as a great reporter. Boy, you went through the process. You had Tucker and Andrew, then yours truly had forming you as a young cub reporter to be the titan, the Goliath you are today. We're going to talk about your poll in a minute, but just right there, you caught Berquam. I gotta tell you, this is the difference between a guy that works at his job is gonna ask a straight question and the rest of the sycophants over the mainstream media that we're all trying to do narrative building around what happened. Your thoughts, Matt Bull, of what you just heard?
- [07:25]
Matt Boyle
Well, yeah, I was very proud to hear that question. Cause by the way, that was if I had a reporter at that press conference for Breitbart, that's exactly the question I would have told them to ask. And I workshop questions with our team or all the Time when they're talking to the President and other people around him and so on and so forth. And we regularly have people at a lot of these press availabilities that you see with President Trump and other people in the administration. So it was exactly the right question. I think that the thing that they need to zone in on is these. It's essentially a militia that these radical leftists, essentially terrorists, have stood up where they are coordinating and communicating, you know, building dispatches and patrols, et cetera, to disrupt federal law enforcement. I mean, that's, that's the definition of an insurrection, I think. Right, Like, I mean, it feels a lot like kind of like the Whiskey Rebellion or something. Right. Like, you know, from, from history. Right, like, and so it's up to the federal government to not tolerate this. So either we're going to tolerate it, where people who are unelected are going to be able to go out there and engage in this terroristic activity, interfering with the elected leadership's law enforcement or not. Right, like. And so do we have a democracy or not? Right. Like, I mean, for years we heard the left screaming that we have a democracy. Democracy is under attack. Well, the people who are engaged in these signal chats and patrols and dispatches against ICE and other Homeland Security law enforcement officials in Minnesota are engaged in an attack on our democracy. Right. Like the federal law enforcement officers who are there are there at the direction of the elected President of the United States. And the President Trump legitimately won the election in 2024. Anybody who's claiming that he didn't is ridiculous. And again, that's the second part of Ben's question is what Coleman would say to the people who voted for this. They voted for mass deportations. The President was extremely clear about this when he campaigned over the course. I mean, I told, I spoke to him multiple times. I know you did, Steve. I know that he talked about this in every single rally speech, in the debates, in every forum that he had. He talked about immigration and the need to deport criminal illegal aliens and broader mass deportations. It was extremely, abundantly clear that that's what the American people were voting on. It was the number one issue right alongside the economy in the 2024 election. And President Trump won all seven swing states in a landslide election. And the national popular vote, and even more so than 2016, assembled a new political coalition of working class voters that included young black men and Hispanic voters who were also very clear that they knew that this is what they were voting for.
- [10:25]
Jan Jekalec
So this is.
- [10:28]
Matt Boyle
Again, the People that are engaged in subversive actions against the United States on this front are essentially engaged in an insurrection. So how the President handles this is going to define a big part of his presidency. Right. So what he's decided to do, clearly, is dispatch Tom Homan there to see if they can take the temperature down and get cooperation from state and local officials. We'll see what happens. Right. Like, you know, apparently they're all, you know, giving the hubba to hubba to hubba, saying the right things sometimes, other times not. But then the question is, do they cooperate?
- [11:04]
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah.
- [11:05]
Matt Boyle
Minnesota is holding state or local officials, thousands of criminal illegal aliens in prisons throughout the state. Are they going to cooperate with federal law enforcement and allow the, the federal government to deport them? Plain and simple, really simple question. Are they going to stop, by the way you're saying?
- [11:22]
Stephen K. Bannon
Yeah, yeah, they laid it out. Pam Bondi laid it out, the four requests in the letter, which they don't want to address. And by the way, whatever they're saying in the meetings, they're not saying that on msnbc. They couldn't be more arrogant. Hang on, Matt, because I got to get other thoughts on you and particularly this poll that Breitbart ran that's very illuminating about, about Iran. Ben, to your, to your amazing question. And Matt just said, hey, it's militias. These are militias. You, you very much. Homan came back and said, ben, justice is coming. I don't want to show my cards, nor to my hand. How did you read that? Berquam. You know, Holman pretty well.
- [12:04]
Ben Bergquam
Well, I took that part as, obviously, there's investigations going on behind the scenes into these organizations and organizers, and it is, it's a criminal conspiracy, whatever you want to call it, insurrection. There is a coordinated effort to obstruct federal law enforcement. That's a crime. And so these organizations need to be held accountable. The problem I have, just like you have, is it goes all the way up to the top. It goes to the top of the food chain in the Democrat Party in, in Minnesota, it's Tim Walls. No doubt it goes into his office. No doubt it goes into Mayor Fry's or Mayor Fry's office. So that's the thing. You're asking the people that are coordinating the attacks against you to be on your side. And I just, I don't trust them at all. I mean, I think they're. They're traitors to this country.
- [12:58]
Stephen K. Bannon
Now you're in Minneapolis, we need you to be safe because you're quite well known now. Talk to me about when I hear Homan say targeted enforcement versus what we've been doing, just tell the audience what that's going to look like.
- [13:13]
Ben Bergquam
Well, yeah, that's interesting because everything that we've been doing has been called targeted enforcement. The strategies have changed. He's exactly right. And what's interesting too here is if he can shift the focus, if they actually get fry and if they get Minneapolis and the state to actually start releasing these guys in the jails and in the prisons, you don't have to send the guys out into the streets to do what's called targeted enforcement. But target enforcement includes a lot of different operations that's going after the really, really bad guys, you know, with multiple criminal felony records, as well as going into targeted communities that, you know, are, you know, there, there are places in our country that are 80% illegal. And so some targeted enforcement, you want to do mass deportations, you do what they've been doing, you go into those communities and you simply get out of your vehicle and you watch who runs and you get probable cause to go track them down and check their status. So there's, you know, all of these things are technically targeted enforcement. It just enjoys depends on who you're targeting. His message today was we're going to refocus on the heavy criminal element as our priority and we'll deal with the other guys later.
- [14:22]
Stephen K. Bannon
Hang on a second, Ben.
- [14:23]
Jan Jekalec
Ben.
- [14:24]
Stephen K. Bannon
On the streets of Minneapolis, Bruce Springsteen's going to take us out with his version of it. I want to thank the team, my own production team and the guys in Denver putting together some great footage. Ben's to going to stick around. We got Matt Bole an incredible poll that the Breitbart guys did are very, very, very smart about the situation in Tehran and much, much more, including upcoming cabinet meeting that we'll cut right into.
- [14:49]
Tom Homan
As soon as it starts.
- [14:50]
Stephen K. Bannon
President sure is going to have a couple of three things to say. Gold blowing through. I can't even tell you what gold's blowing through. Just go to Birch Gold right now and check it.

Stephen K. Bannon
Birch, go take your phone out. Text ban and b a n n o n at 989-898 ultimate guy, totally free. No obligation investing in gold and precious metals in the age of Trump. This is the quick and dirty and you get right to Philip Patrick. As gold is on fires. We've told you it's not the price, it's the process. Same with silver. Or if you want a deeper set of analytics Go to find out what the process is. What's driven Gold, why central banks are buying it at record rates for now, the third or fourth year in a row. Birchgold.com, promo code BAN at the end of the dollar empire. Was that a good call? Four years ago, Five years ago, we saw this coming. Biden, he took it down 28% in his 28% destruction of the dollar and let in 15 million illegal aliens. How's that for a successful presidency, Birch? Goal get to Philip, Patrick and the team. I may try to have Philip on today. Since gold's exploding, silver's exploding. Get there. Make sure. In fact, I'll put the clips up from Philip on the show the other day. Fear of missing out. You've got to deal with that. Understand the pattern recognition. Ben Berkhwan, we're not going to let you freeze in the streets of Minneapolis. Give us your coordinates. We'll get you back at 5. Sir, I know you're gonna be out and about and busy today. Where can people track you down on social media?

- [16:55]
Ben Bergquam
Yes, sir. Thank you.
- [16:57]
Stephen K. Bannon
Matt Boyle. We started the show and we finished yesterday. We did an hour live during the raid. We did an hour with the same pages down in Georgia. I mean, you know, these folks have worked for five, six years to make sure we had got to yesterday, the criminal investigation by the FBI. Your thoughts, sir, on the 2020 election and in the mainstream media meltdown this morning about, oh, this is all about stealing. Trump stealing 26 and 28. Your thoughts, sir?
- [17:21]
Matt Boyle
Well, let's put it this way. A judge signed off on this warrant. Okay. Like, so they clearly have something that they took in there to get a judge to sign off on this warrant. And we'll see whatever comes of all of this. But my guess is there's a lot more to it than people realize. If the FBI director and the Director of National Intelligence, apparently Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is down there. Right? Like, if these people were personally intricately involved, which appears to be the case on this, there's probably a lot more to it than we know. And from covering stories like this, with law enforcement matters, federal Justice Department things, raids, the FBI investigations. It oftentimes takes a lot longer than those of us who in the, in the media industry and also the broader general public would like to get clarity and answers. I've covered stories that take 10 years to unravel. Right. Like for instance, I broke the story before I even worked at Breitbart, back when I worked at the Daily Caller. It was one of the last stories I did there back in 2012 about Senator Bob Menendez and corruption and whatnot. And he didn't go down until like a decade later or longer. Right. Like, so it's like these things take time for these to develop and to flesh out and for evidence to emerge and for the feds to take steps in the right direction. So I think that there's a lot more than we know about all of this. I would imagine that they are figuring out even more things about it all. So we'll be watching it very closely. And then in addition to that, I would just say more broadly too. I know, I, believe me, I get the frustration out there that people want to say there haven't been wide scale arrests, right. Like of the people who did the Russia collusion hoax or people who did weaponization of government during Biden or Obama or things like that. And I agree with those people. Right. Like, I agree. But again, the good guys are in charge right now, right. Like, so, you know, you've got Bondi and Patel and you know, Ratcliffe and these folks are in the Tulsi Gabbard leading the federal government. Obviously, President Trump is the president. So the, I would say keep the faith a little bit longer. I had a huge story that I did over the weekend late, you know, while we were all snowed in here in the nation's capital in Washington D.C. working with the CIA. And I spoke to the CIA director and there's, he's very careful with what he says about things. But one of the things that we talked about was about the weaponization and the Russian collusion hoax and everything. And this has been a huge focus of Director Radcliffe's even dating back to when he was DNI in Tulsi's job back in Trump's first term in, you know, 2019, 2020. And he's, he's been laser focused on this and he, he said, he said something a little bit cryptic in there about how he doesn't want to speculate or peruse whatever the Justice Department may or may not be doing. But everybody needs to be held accountable. I don't think a guy like Ratcliffe says a thing like that. And unless he knows a lot more about what may or may not be coming, then. So, again, I just. I kind of have a feeling there's a lot more in the works than people realize. So, again, while I get the frustration that's out there in the Republican base and the Trump base, the MAGA base, and I want to see as much more action as everybody, I also think that the good guys are trying here, and so keep the faith. The good stuff is coming. That's my message.
- [21:01]
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay? Talking about good stuff. Talking about good stuff is the president's focused on, obviously, what's happening in Georgia with the FBI raid in Minneapolis and many more places right around the country where it's actually going much better. Because you don't have, as you call this militia in the streets. They paid for by, as Peter Schweitzer said, the great Breitbart editor, the Invisible Coup, which is number one New York Times bestseller, folks. Make sure you get it. We gotta make it number one for the second week in a row. Militia, we keep saying the problems of the country are not in Tehran, and we gotta focus on things that, you know, we got all kind of things we have to get done that must get done. And then there's other things you can kind of think about. What you guys did at Breitbart is quite brilliant. You got one of the best polling organizations, said, hey, let's put a poll to this about what's the real support? And then we'll ask a couple other questions. Because I keep saying when they see these polls, that they support this. Well, you might support it on day one, but like in Iraq, do you support it on year four? No, you don't. It gets down to 10%. It drives bush into permanent shame. Talk to me about your poll that you guys work through about this situation of the bombing of Tehran, sir.
- [22:10]
Matt Boyle
Well, it's not our poll. JL Partners, which is one of the best pollsters out there, they actually nailed the 2024 election and got it right that Trump was going to win the national popular vote. They did the poll and they gave it to us exclusively ahead of releasing it publicly. But the gist is, is that, yes, Americans don't like the regime in Iran. And I'm going to. Casey, cut back to me. I'm going to be looking down at my phone to read you the exact numbers. So that way people understand this. So, yes, Americans don't like the Iranian regime and would love to see America topple the Iranian regime. However, when they asked the follow up question how many American lives are you willing to risk to do to remove the Iranian reg that the majority of those who support both among the broader American public and among specifically Republican voters risking even one American life drops significantly. So again, the numbers here show that 36% of broader Americans support supposedly support us toppling the Iranian regime. 18% strongly and 18% somewhat, 21% opposed. And then among Republicans specifically, the support for toppling the regime in Iran from the United States goes higher. It's 60%. But in both cases among those who support toppling the regime in Iran, they're asked how many American lives are you willing to risk in so doing? And in both cases, 51% said, said none. They're not willing to risk a single American life. What that means when you, when you really drill down on this, because if you're going to topple the regime in Iran, you're probably going to cost American lives, right? And then once you start getting higher and higher in the numbers, then some people are willing to go up to 10American lives or up to 100 or up to a thousand or whatever. You know, it's very, very few that are willing to go higher than that. But the, but when you really get into it, the real numbers are among the broader American public around only 14% that support America top running the regime in Iran. And among Republicans it's not really 60% but it's down around 21%. Right. So this is a total drop off in the numbers when you, when you actually counter, when you actually, you know, count the, the loss of American life, which would probably be likely if this happens. I think Americans love what happened for with Maduro, right, where it didn't cost a single American life. It looks like there's the new leader, there is an American puppet and doing whatever Rubio and then want them to want her to do. If they could do something like that in Iran, I think that we would be open to that. But the question is, is that optionality going to be presented to the President?
- [25:02]
Stephen K. Bannon
We had an expeditionary strike to end the 12 day war because the Israelis couldn't finish what they started. We had to come in and do it. And of course we now know it was all lies because the Times of Israel published the Cabinet minutes. They said it was two years before they really had any nuclear program worthwhile. That being what it said President Trump totally obliterated. It was a massive expeditionary force. United States Navy did as much as the B2s with the cruise missiles technology from the late 1970s with fast attack submarines firing them from the North Arabian Sea. President Trump rolled the iron dice of war again and we were very fortunate. And remember the Chinook pile, as Prince said, could have lost 30 special forces, but it came out. But the American people don't support in Tehran because if you don't support the loss of American lives, then you don't support it because it's going to get gnarly. We got to bounce. Matt Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant poll. Great presentation. Where do people get you? Sir Matt Boll, the great Matt Bol from Breitbart.

Minnesota, we've been through a lot. A beloved leader and her husband murdered in their home. Little kids gunned down in a church. The killings of Renee Goode, a mom of three, and Alex Preddy, a nurse who took care of our veterans. 3,000 ICE agents on our streets and in our towns sent by an administration that relishes division. We cannot sugarcoat how hard this is, but in these moments of enormous difficulty, we find strength in our Minnesota values of hard work, freedom and simple decency and goodwill. These times call for leaders who can stand up and not be rubber stamps of this administration, but who are also willing to find common ground and fix things in our state. These times call for grit and resilience. I've learned resilience from you. Through it all, you do not give up. You put on those winter boots in the freezing cold and bring your kids to school.
- [28:17]
She'll wander around. Clover, you gotta get focused. You just wander around. I could go on. It goes for a couple More minutes. Mike Lindell. You smoked it out. Amy Klobuchar. That's her official announcement. She eventually gets to saying she's running for governor, but I'd rather have you talk than her. Mike, you're governor. No, your governor's campaign. You got Walls out of the race because he knew he couldn't beat you. He also goes and knows he's going to be indicted, but he couldn't beat you because you'd be hammering in every day. And now you've made the Senate so much harder for the Democrats to try to take over because you smoked Amy out. And you know her pretty well, you know her weaknesses. So this is going to be a. This is going to be a good old fashioned donnybrook. Your thoughts, sir?
- [29:00]
Mike Lindell
Well, you know what she failed to mention in a commercial there? Minnesota being the Trojan horse for Sharia law. We've had a battle battle over the last 10 years. Fraud in our elections with Minnesota leading the way for the nation in our in fraud. And 18 billion minimum stole from Minnesota, from our. From all of us taxpayers. And, and, and Amy, at one time, you know, she's flipped on so many things, including the, the election when she wanted to go to get rid of the machines, go to paper ballots in the movie kill chain in 2018. I reached out to her many times. She now all of a sudden, she never responds about our elections, which is pouring out now, everybody. Isn't it great that with Georgia and everything pouring out, we were right all along? Because there's only one truth. Everybody remember that. There's only one truth. And Amy's going to have to answer to all this. And all this happened on her watch. Let's not forget. Just because you trade the players and you, you move waltz over here and Keith Ellison over here and Elon, Omar, Amy, you were here too. You watched it all happen and you did nothing. So this is. You're right, Steve. It's going to be an all out battle. I'm looking forward to it. And, and I do know her weaknesses, but I also know our strengths. And we are gonna have the biggest campaign advertising campaign this country's ever seen. And I have, as everybody knows, I was part of our great president's campaign. And there's a lot of things that we did then that we're gonna do here in Minnesota to beat Amy Klobuchar.
- [30:40]
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, but now the battle's defined. It's Klobuchar. And they're doing this because of you, not because of the woman from the house. That's Ridicul cause of you. They fear Mike Lindell and the cause Mike Lindell brings Maga Mike, real quickly. Everybody thinks that's great. You've served the country. You got her out of the Senate. Talk to us about what they really want to know is you can sell them a pillow or a blanket, a topper or a mattress, sir.
- [31:04]
Mike Lindell

Let's do it. Warren posse call right now. You get Mike. Mike will see this afternoon. Great work, great work. Smoking Amy Klobuchar out so they can't take the Senate. Now. Peter Schweitzer the invisible coup is is New York Times number one bestseller War Room Posse. You had you put your shoulders away. You did it. Well Peter, on the next couple days he's going to be on Saturday, interviewed by Jan Jekalek from American Thought Leaders, Epoch Times, all of it. He's got the new book. The next number one bestseller we're going to have is Killed to Order. Jan, you've been working on this for how long? This is about that horrible, horrible practice of the Chinese Communist Party of organ harvesting from live individuals. Sir.
- [33:31]
Jan Jekalec
You know, 20 years ago was when I first realized that there's this industrial scale murder for organs industry in China. I didn't want to believe it. I really didn't want to believe it. I mean, and this, we're not talking about this garden variety black market organ trade which actually happens horribly around the world. This is a whole different thing. You need a state actor or someone who's able to mobilize mass propaganda and basically mass incarceration. So that's what you need. You need to be able to push a whole lot of propaganda into the system so that you can dehumanize a group of people. So people look at those, that group of people that you're targeting a little bit lower, right? Not quite human perhaps, then you need to be able to incarcerate them. You need to have massive state security apparatus. And then when those people are now incarcerated, you can blood type them, tissue type them and organ scan them. And now when someone say in America is looking at an ad, it says two weeks, I can get you a new heart. It'll cost you 200 grand, let's say, but you can get it because that person on the other end is incarcerated. It's a prisoner of conscience. Most typically a Falun Gong practitioner, but also Uyghurs were later added when the world decided to do nothing.

Stephen K. Bannon
Jan, can you hang on for one second? Let's cut, we gotta cut to the cabinet room of the President. Hang on for one minute. Let's go to the cabinet.
- [34:49]
Stephen K. Bannon (as host in cabinet meeting segment)
So I think that's basically what's happened in our first year. We've had an amazing year. And this will be our, our first cabinet after the year. So we're starting our second year. Tremendous progress has been made. I want to thank my Entire cabinet for 12 months of unprecedented achievements. We really have, I mean unprecedented. The numbers we've had on the economy and growth, you see them. And that's despite a Democrat shutdown. Without the shutdown we would have picked up about a point and a half more than already high numbers, record setting numbers. So this has been, I think, and a lot of people say it, the most successful year of any administration in American History, first year. There's never been a first year like this, including the fact that we put out extinguished eight wars and another one we think is coming. Steve Witkoff is working very hard and Jared and everybody else. And I think it's coming. It was just announced that the murder rate in our country is the biggest drop ever recorded. It's at the lowest level in 125 years. First in recorded history. It's the lowest in at least 125 years. That's a wonderful thing. And the crime is way down. And one of the reasons is we've taken a lot of bad people and gotten them out of our country. In some cases they're so bad that we put them in prison because we don't want them to even take a chance of coming back in. Even though our border is very secure, record setting, secure. We had zero illegal aliens being admitted into our country for the last eight months. That's hard. That's hard for even me to believe. But the people that make up the lists are supposedly nonpartisan, but I would say they lean toward the Democrat side. And if they say that, I'm all for it. As you know, we've had a situation take place with respect to Venezuela. I want to just thank General Kaine and his staff. The job that they've done is incredible. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. And once it did take place, I want to thank the leadership of Venezuela. We're getting along really well with them. The relationships have been very strong, very good. And they have informed me that they feel there's very good security, very strong security. We're working with the various people involved, including Chris and Doug and everybody on the oil. We have the major oil companies going to Venezuela now, scouting it out and picking their locations and. And they'll be bringing back tremendous wealth for Venezuela and for the United States. And the oil companies will do fine too. Venezuela will actually make for themselves more money than they've ever made before. And that's a good thing. And the people of Venezuela were literally in the streets waving American flags. They were so happy. And the people in our country, like in the Doral section of Miami, which is considered literally middle of Venezuela, they're thrilled. And I just spoke to the President of Venezuela, informed her that we're going to be opening up all commercial airspace over Venezuela. American citizens will be very shortly able to go to Venezuela. And they'll be safe there. They'll be safe. It's under very strong control. And the people of formerly of Venezuela, some want to go back and some want to go back to visit and they're going to be able to do that. So I've instructed Sean Duffy and everybody else concerned, including the military, that if you would, by the end of today, I'd like you to have the airspace over Venezuela, planes can go to Venezuela opened up. Okay?
- [38:42]
Tom Homan
Yes.
- [38:42]
Stephen K. Bannon (as host in cabinet meeting segment)
Thank you very much. And I want to thank all of the people, people in Venezuela for what, you know, what they went through. And I want to thank the leadership for really they're doing a good job. And just as I promised, we've defeated the Biden inflation nightmare and achieved explosive new economic growth. The Atlanta Fed is predicting an astounding 5.4% GDP growth in the fourth quarter. And that's despite the fact that we had a demographic Democrat shutdown. We would have had that number, would have been 7%, which is a number nobody has ever heard of. And we've had, we've been given great national security because of tariffs and we've also been given unprecedented income because of tariffs. Part of the income that we gave $12 billion we gave to the farmers of our country. So that yesterday was up in Iowa. And they were very happy, Madam Secretary. They were very, very happy. They were great. So the GDP growth in the fourth quarter was great. And it's going to be, I think we're going to have an amazing and incredible year. Hopefully we won't have a shutdown. We're working on that right now. I think we're getting close. The Democrats, I don't believe, want to see it either. So we'll work in a very bipartisan way, I believe, not to have a shot shut down. We don't want to shut down. And just yesterday the s and P500 hit 7,000 for the first time ever. There's never been any time at which it's done like that. And the other stocks also I think was 52 times for the Dow had hit a record high. But the 7,000 was not a number that was even thinkable. If you go back a year ago. And so it S and P hit 7000 for the first time ever the stock market has set it's actually 53, 52, 53 all time record highs since the election adding $9 trillion in value to savings, retirement accounts and 401 s. And I mean everybody benefits but we have record record stock markets, companies have never done well and most importantly, if you think about about it, after four years in which Biden got much less than $1 trillion of investment into our country in just actually it was taken over 11 months. Even though we're 12 months. In 11 months, we've taken in more than $18 trillion. So they did less than $1 trillion, Scott, in a period of four years. And we've done $18 trillion in less than one year. So there's never been anything like that. No other country has done those numbers, by the way, in history. Ten years ago, one country did 3 million, 3 trillion. No other. We did $18 trillion. It's being invested now. Thousands of businesses, plants, equipment all over the country are being built right now and they're going to be opening pretty soon. And when, when they open, you'll see numbers like nobody's ever seen before. The economy is doing amazingly well. I wish the press would report it, but people are finding out they're seeing it. It's coming. It's becoming pretty evident. It's hard to hide Biden inflation, which is really stagflation cost. The typical family, $34,000. Think of that, $34,000. But after one year, growth in real incomes is outpacing inflation by more than 3,000 under Trump. So one cost 34,001 made 3,000. That's a big swing. Gasoline is plunged to think of this, over $4 a gallon, depending on where you are. In California, it's $7, $8 a gallon. I was in Iowa and they had 185 cents because I had it at 199 a gallon. And I was corrected by two farmers that said I just bought my gasoline for 185. So Chris, you have to be doing something right. You and Doug. Right. But I don't want to give you too much confidence. You got to keep it going. We're drilling. I think I can say we're drilling more than at any time ever in the history. We're taking out more energy out of our land. But specifically, if you look at oil and gas, we've never been anywhere even close. Is that a correct statement?
- [43:06]
Mike Lindell
That is correct.
- [43:07]
Stephen K. Bannon (as host in cabinet meeting segment)
All time records, yeah. Great. It's a great job. Well, it's supply and demand. So that's going down rapidly. And you know, when energy goes down, everything else goes down. They were, they had very, they tried to do their thing. It was a disaster. Then they ran back very late to the Trump policy. But they didn't do the Trump policy. They cut lease. They did everything that they could do, but they lost it. And they were very high. And we're, we're now less than $2 in many areas. $2.30 a gallon Average Grocery prices, airfares, hotels, car payments and rent prices are coming down very fast. And you don't hear the word affordability issued by the Democrats anymore. Now they're going into other things because they're getting beaten badly on affordability. Remember that when I was elected, I came into office, I inherited a total mess, starting with eggs which were four times higher than they were just a year before. And Brooke got them down very quickly before Easter. He said they wanted me to buy plastic eggs for the egg hunt at the very famous egg hunt at the White House. Sir, would you buy plastic eggs? We'd buy a lot of like 100,000 eggs. I said, we're not going to buy plastic eggs. And by the time we had the egg hunt a few months later, we had the prices down pretty good. And now they're really low. Now they're at a very low level. So we really have. You don't hear the word affordability because we inherited very high prices and we inherited the highest inflation in 48 years. I say the history of our country, I think it sounds almost the same actually. I think 48 years sounds actually worse for some, some reason. So I'll go with the 40 because the press corrected me. I said history. And they said it's not history, it's 48 years. I said I'll accept that. And we had the highest inflation in 48 years. We have now very. As you saw yesterday with the Fed. I'm not a fan of his. He said that inflation essentially is not a factor. It's really been pretty amazed. I just put out a statement about his statements. I won't repeat them here because they're too angry. And thanks to our tax cuts, millions of Americans will soon receive record setting tax refunds. You're going to get a lot of tax refunds with the average refund expected to be over $1,000 higher than it has been at any time. So we're going to be getting some pretty good refunds. A lot of people, if congressional Democrats had their way, Americans would right now be facing the largest tax hike ever. You know, their proposal was to raise taxes very substantially. And our proposal, which is in the great big beautiful new deal. It's a new deal in its own way. It's a Republican version of the New Deal. Right behind you is a nice picture of fdr. This is a much better deal than the FDR deal. But we have the great big beautiful bill and it's given tremendous tax cuts and a lot of other things. People are now finding out how Good. It is. And it's just kicked in as of January 1st, by the way. So we really, we're really starting to see it. Even though it's a month, we're really starting to see it. The US Economy would be cratering if they, if they had won this election. Our country would be in very bad shape, would be maybe not much of a country anymore. I don't think it would be a country anymore. They were doing everything wrong, but they were going to give you the largest tax hike in history and we're giving you the largest tax cut in history in the great big beautiful bill. In addition, I think it's very good, I think it's very important. You have no tax on overtime, no tax on tips, and no tax on Social Security. But you also have, you're getting an. This is the first time this ever happened. If you buy a car, you go out and borrow money, you get an interest deduction. You take the interest rate, the interest that you're paying on the loan, you're able to deduct it for income tax purposes. So that's a first ever. And I think it's going to be great for everybody, including the car companies. I was in Detroit three weeks ago. I went to the Ford factory, spoke to the General Motors people. It's all the same. They're doing better than they've ever done. The factory I went to was like a World War I. Earlier than World War I factory opened up one of the oldest buildings, but one of the biggest. And Ford was getting ready to close it a couple of years ago. And then they saw that I was doing well and it looked like I would have a good chance of winning. And they kept it going, barely going. And last week they announced, during my visit, they announced that they're going to round the clock on round the clock production. They never thought it was. I said, did you ever think. I spoke with Bill Ford and the president of Ford, they were both there and they said, we can't even believe it. We were going to close this building two years ago and now it's going round the clock. He said, we cannot. I mean, they wish, they said, we wish it was twice the size. But they're now building additional plants in the United States, as is everybody else. You have AI building, but the car companies, I love the car companies. And you have them, they're all coming back. They're coming back from Mexico, they're coming back from Canada, they're coming back from Japan and they're coming back from Germany, all over Europe, they're coming back, they're building here because they want to avoid the tariffs. They don't want to pay the 15%. In some cases, 25% tariff could be a lot higher than that if it wasn't working. So because of that, they're all coming back. One statistic yesterday that Scott told me is that for the first time ever, tell them about the steel and Japan, that we are now making more steel. Go ahead, please. So yesterday they reported for the first time in 26 years, the United States of America produced more steel than Japan. And that is entirely driven by your tariffs. Amazing. He obviously said that much better than I did because I got no applause that I'm going to be. I'm giving you home run after home run. He says I should have saved that one for myself. No, but think of it. First time they read almost 30 years, but I guess it's what, 26, 27 years that we are now producing more steel than Japan. Japan being a big steel producer. Japan and other countries really took our steel production away from us. Now, if you think of this, three, four years ago, the steel companies were all closing up. We worked a fantastic deal with U.S. steel, we saved U.S. steel, and now it's all coming about. But we're, and that's just the beginning. There are a lot of steel plants right now being built. So it's, that's an amazing, it's an amazing number. Nobody would have believed that if you would have said that three, four, five years ago. People would have said, yeah, it's not a, it's not a true fact. But so it has to be true because otherwise you, you question me. You question me on everything. I have to be extremely accurate. I don't exaggerate. I don't want to exaggerate because you will call me, you don't call other people, but you would call me under my most favored nation spot, which I think is the most important thing, Bobby, of all what we've done, because we're bringing drug prices down by 80, 90%, depending on the way you could say 5, 6, 7, 800%. Depends on the way you want to calculate it. Right, but let's go the old fashioned way. But drug prices for prescription drugs will be down 80, 90%, 75%, 68%. They've only gone up for years and years and years. They've only gone up. And now we're going to have essentially the most favored nation. We're going to have the most favored price in the whole world, whatever the lowest price in the world. World is that's what we're going to pay. And I don't want to go into a big deal, but nobody else could have gotten this, but this administration. I'm being very nice when I say that the cost of prescription drugs is coming down by tremendous, by a number that never was, never even thought of. This will have a huge impact on healthcare, by the way, because obviously drugs are a big part of healthcare and it will help repair some of the Unaffordable Care Acts damage that they've done. Because the Unaffordable Care act, which is Obamacare, it's unaffordable, it's not affordable, and it's a disaster. And hopefully we will be paying money directly to the people instead of giving the insurance companies the money. They'll go into a healthcare savings account or whatever it is. But think of it, we pay the money billions and billions, really trillions of, of dollars going to insurance companies. We want that money to go to the people. They buy their own health care and it'll be. And it's so popular. The problem we have is the Democrats are owned by the insurance companies. They're literally owned, lock, stock and barrel by the insurance companies. And they hate it, but the people love it, including all Democrats. So I think we'll perhaps be successful with it. But it was an idea had, you know, I read the papers and I'm reading one of the stories about the insurance companies, how much money they're making, where they received, you know, billions and billions of dollars for this stuff from the United States of America. And their stock has gone up by 1400%. Think of it, 1,401 went up 1,700%. Numbers went up. If you, if you go up 1,000%, you're doing bad.

And this is Stephen K. Bannon in the War Room. We're now going to pitch to the Charlie Kirk Show. We'll be back here at 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time and we will be on fire. See you then back to the Cabinet.
- [53:01]
Stephen K. Bannon (as host in cabinet meeting segment)
Why don't we just pay the people directly? And they said, that's a good idea. You know, it's funny, it's a very complicated business, but actually it's not so complicated. And I went to Bobby and I went to Dr. Oz. I said, can I talk to you guys about this? Is this the kind of money the insurance companies get? Yes. Why don't we pay the people directly? And the primary answer was that the Democrats will never go along with it, but the people go along with it. Because I put it out. It went viral. It went viral. Asusi went. Went all over the place. It became the biggest story. I just said it. And so I think we have a great situation if we can do it. But if you think most favored nation policy for drugs will bring your drug prices down and levels. So now they're selling a pill for $10 in London and $130 in New York. The London price will go up to $20.
