It's Wednesday the 17th of September in the year of our Lord 2025. We're going to momentarily go to Windsor Castle. Just moments ago, the beginning of a magnificent state dinner. Our own Brian Glenn is in is in Windsor, so to do reporting. As soon as we get him hooked up, we're gonna go to him. But let's go to the entrance. In the speeches of King Charles and President Donald J. Trump. Let's go ahead and let it r.
Charlie Kirk

King Charles III
Mr. President, Mrs. Trump, it is with great pleasure that my wife and I welcome you to Windsor Castle on this, your second state visit to the United Kingdom. This unique and important occasion reflects the enduring bond between our two great nations, anchored by the deep friendship between our people. This relationship, which with good reason we and our predecessors have long called special, has made us safer, stronger. Through the generations, our people have fought and died together for the values we hold dear. We have innovated, traded and created together, fueling our economies and cultures through myriad forms of exchange. We have celebrated together, mourned together and stood together in the best and worst of times. Mr. President, as we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence next year, it is remarkable to think just how far we have come. I cannot help but wonder what our forebears from 1776 would make of this friendship today. The rebel commander and pioneering first president George Washington, famously vowed never to set foot on British soil. And my five times great grandfather, King George iii, for his part, did not spare his words when he spoke of the revolutionary leaders. Today, however, we celebrate a relationship between our two countries that surely neither Washington nor King George III could possibly have imagined. The ocean may still divide us, but in so many other ways, we are now the closest of kin. Mr. President, you have spoken of your pride in Your British roots. In fact, not only have you set foot on British soil twice in the last two months alone, but I understand that British soil makes for rather splendid golf courses.
Charlie Kirk
Now.
King Charles III
For my part, I have always admired the ingenuity of the American people and the principles of freedom which your great democracy has represented since its inception. Throughout my life, from the very first visit to the United States in 1970 and over 20 visits since that time, I have cherished the close ties between the British and American people. In fact, had the media succeeded in the 1970s in their own attempt at deepening the special relationship, I myself might have been married off within the Nixon family. Mr. President. From York to New York, from Birmingham, England to Birmingham, Alabama, we are united by a common language and shared heritage. The many thousands of people from each of our countries who have made the other their home have enriched our societies immeasurably, a fact that gives me the greatest pride. Our cultural connections, too, continue to flourish, with our actors, musicians, writers and television presenters prospering in the hearts of transatlantic audiences. Today, our alliance spans every field of endeavor and shows vast potential for growth. The United Kingdom was your partner in the first trade deal of your administration, Mr. President, bringing jobs and growth to both our countries. And no doubt we can go even further as we build this new era of our partnership. Our two nations have an exceptional legacy of shared discovery. Together, we laid the foundations of nuclear science, mapped the human genome and built the Internet upon which all contemporary commerce, communication and defence is based. Together, our scientists and engineers are shaping the world of tomorrow, not least with new partnership agreements on technology and the prosperity that stands to bring. Our countries have the closest defence, security and intelligence relationship ever known. In two world wars, we fought together to defeat the forces of tyranny. Today, as tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand together in support of Ukraine to deter aggression and secure peace. And our Aukus submarine partnership with Australia sets the benchmark for innovative and vital collaboration. The successors of the British Redcoats and of George Washington's Continental army today stand shoulder to shoulder, brothers and sisters in arms, protecting the freedoms we both cherish. Our countries are working together in support of crucial diplomatic efforts, not least of which, Mr. President, is your own personal commitment to finding solutions to some of the world's most intractable conflicts in order to secure peace. In striving for a better world, we also have a precious opportunity to safeguard and to restore the wonders and beauty of nature for the generations who follow us. We share the ambition and determination to preserve our Majestic lands and waters. Above all, to ensure that we have clean water, clean air and clean food. Our legacy for the next 250 years and beyond is to ensure that our children, grandchildren, and those who come after them can experience the awe and magnificence of the national. Of the natural treasures found in the countryside, on the coasts, in the seas, and in the national parks established by your predecessors and mine. Mr. President, Mrs. Trump. The bond between our two nations is indeed a remarkable one. Forged in the fire of conflict, it has been fortified through our shared endeavors, burnished by the deep affection between our people, Tested time and again, it has borne the weight of our common purpose and raised our ambition for a better world. So in renewing our bond tonight, we do so with unshakable trust in our friendship and in our shared commitment to independence and liberty. Therefore, as we celebrate this unparalleled partnership, allow me to propose a toast to President Trump and the first lady and to the health, prosperity and happiness of the people of the United States of America.
Charlie Kirk
Thank you very much. Your Majesty, Melania and I are deeply grateful to you and Queen Camilla for your extraordinary graciousness. And to William and Kate, thank you so much. It's been so great being with you today. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. It's a singular privilege to be the first American president welcomed here. And if you think about it, they said it's a lot of presidents, and this was the second state visit, and that's the first, and maybe that's going to be the last time. I hope it is, actually. But this is truly one of the highest honors of my life. Such respect for you and such respect for your country. For many decades, His Majesty the King has epitomized the fortitude, nobility, and the spirit of the British monarchy and the British people. He's dedicated himself to preserving the glory and unique character of this kingdom, restoring life to the rivers and streams, supporting the works of its artists and composers, planting trees and gardens in its countryside. And I just visited one of the most beautiful I've ever seen that you just completed. And protecting the architectural integrity of cities, villages and towns. He has uplifted the poor, cared for rural farmers, and tended to wounded veterans like nobody else. I'll tell you that. I just stood in line and shook about 150 hands. And the King knew every single person and every single company. And some of them had bad names like x, y, z, q, 3. And he knew every one of them, or at least I think he did because nobody was complaining. I was very impressed with that. But I just want to say that His Majesty has also raised a remarkable son. And His Royal Highness, Prince of Wales. Really amazing. We've gotten to know you and I think you're going to have an unbelievable success in future. Melania and I are delighted to visit again with Prince William and to see her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, so radiant and so healthy, so beautiful. It's really a great honor. Thank you. Many years ago, His Majesty opened his archives to a biographer. Among the documents was a letter from 1993 in which he described the patriotism and guided his many projects. He wrote that he was, quote, entirely motivated by a desperate desire to put the great back into Great Britain. In the finest tradition of British sovereigns, he's given his whole heart, everything he's got to those parts of Britain that are beyond the realm of mere legislation. It's not easy, but which to find its essence and its virtue, its harmony and its soul. Amazing calling. And there's nobody that's answered that calling like you have a fifth of all. If humanity speaks, writes, thinks and prays in the language born on these isles and perfected in the pages of Shakespeare and Dickens and Tolkien, Lewis, Orwell and Kipling. Incredible people. Unbelievable. People like we have rarely seen before, probably won't see again the lion hearted people of this kingdom, defeated Napoleon, unleashed the industrial revolution, destroyed slavery and defended civilization. In the darkest days of fascism and communism, the British gave the world the Magna Carta, the modern parliament and Francis Bacon's scientific method. They gave us the works Locke, Hobbes, Smith and Burke, Newton and Blackstone. The legal, intellectual, cultural and political traditions of this kingdom have been among the highest achievements of mankind. Has really never been anything like it. The British Empire laid the foundations of law, liberty, free speech and individual rights virtually everywhere the Union Jack has ever flown, including a place called America. You know that place very well, don't you? His Majesty spoke eloquently about the bond which inspired Sir Winston Churchill. And the bust is in the Oval Office right now. The beautiful bust of Winston Churchill. To coin the phrase special relationship. But seen from Americanized, the word special does not begin to do it justice. We're joined by history and fate, by love and language, and by transcendent ties of culture, tradition, ancestry and destiny. We're like two notes in one chord or two verses of the same poem, each beautiful on its own, but really meant to be played together. The bond of kinship and identity between America and the United Kingdom is priceless and eternal. It's irreplaceable and unbreakable and we are as a country, as you know, doing unbelievably well. We had a very sick country one year ago and today I believe we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. In fact, nobody is even questioning it. But we owe so much of that to, to you and the footing that you gave us when we started. Together we've done more good for humanity than any two countries in all of history. Together we must defend the exceptional heritage that makes us who we are. And we must continue to stand for the values and the people of the English speaking world. And we do indeed stand for that. On behalf of all Americans, I offer a toast to one of the great friendships to two great countries and to his Majesty King Charles iii, a very, very special man and also a very, very special Queen. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. It's a great honor to.
Steve Bannon
Right there. It was a long wind up for the payoff to have the national anthem played, the United States national anthem played at the, in, in St. George's hall at Windsor Castle. Think about the revolutionary generation that did that. Okay guys, we can bring it down. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Since we blew the cut, let's get the end right. Let's go to Brian Glenn in, in outside of London. Brian, you've had a very long day today. I think you've been up for 20 straight hours. Walk us through. Pretty, pretty impressive as the pomp and circumstance, sir.
Brian Glenn
Yeah, it was good morning, good afternoon and good night. Steve, I should just say there for you right now, but it was an amazing ceremony there at Windsor Castle. It all started with the horse and buggy, first lady and President Trump coming in, making their way and you had all of the, the band, the marching band, the pageantry, the, the salute, the cannon salutes. Good stuff there. Big stuff even a little bit later. Had a flyover, combined forces there. F35 planes flying over the entire group there. And of course not just King Charles, but you had all the people from the Trump administration there was there on the ground as well. And then tonight they just capped off. But we just heard the brief speeches there at this state dinner. The table going about 60 plus yards, over 160 people in attendance. Just a special moment of pageantry. But really we're all looking forward to tomorrow because that is when you're going to see the Prime Minister and President Trump getting together for a bilateral meeting and a press conference a little bit later tomorrow morning.
Steve Bannon
So tomorrow they go to Checkers, to the, to the Prime Minister's country home. And today they were at Windsor. Here's the thing, you had almost 2 million people in the streets of London. The populist nationalist movement that under Tommy Robinson, right, that took to the streets and they're carrying the St. George's flag and they're carrying the Union Jack. You've seen this uprising of old fashioned British patriotism. You've got Starmer, who I think Starmer's polling is 11%, 12%, almost low double digits, vastly unpopular with a massive economic crisis on his hand in immigration crisis. And President Trump saying, of course we've got the assassination here. How are we going to get to the bottom of these left wing groups? When are we going to designate terrorist organizations? I love the pomp in the circumstance and historic. That's why we've shown so much of it, right. To make sure it's part of the historical record. And President Trump really wanted to do this, but you kind of get concerned that Western civilization or Western and Christendom is really at an inflection point. I think Obama said that today in a speech at an inflection point. And yet you've got all this pomp and circumstances. Is this understanding. It's to reinforce the special relationship between the two countries. Do people there understand that there's, there's real tectonic plate shift going on underneath the surface of both American and British politics? They do. They do.
Brian Glenn
This morning I was watching Good Morning Britain and they had one commentator or presenter, as I like to call them on air, kind of trashing America and trashing our policies. And I kind of find it refreshing that they had a host on that was talking about how important that relationship is with the United States and how much they need us as a nice partner in all of this. If you look at inflation here in, in the UK it's 3.8% and unemployment rate is high as well. People are not necessarily having an easy way of living here like they were used to and like of course we were used to under, under Trump 1.0. But they do understand that the seriousness of this visit. Yes, we have the pageantry, yes, we had the flyovers, we had all of that. But it's going to come down to business and they need great relationship with the United States and they need help and, and Will, my camera guy was just telling me a quick story. I asked him, Steve, if he saw any protest out throughout the day. He went around the city kind of picking up some B roll and things like that. He said, brian, I saw one guy that was protesting something but not really didn't, wouldn't quite it wasn't an anti Trump but a taxicab driver rolled the window down and it was started mouthing back to him and he said hey we love Trump, we need Trump right here in the UK. So a lot of people are supportive of President Trump being here and of course we saw some protests yesterday and the day before but for the most part, Steve, they're embracing this visit from President Trump.
Steve Bannon
Yeah, well Tommy Robinson and the Tommy Robinson crowd loves President Trump and they love Charlie Kirk. It was amazing before I let you go and your well deserved asleep tomorrow Checkers with Starmer and folks should know President Trump I think personally likes Starmer. Right, he likes Starmer. Although Starmer is not Nigel Farage and not and obviously the Labor Party is very opposite of President Trump and the MAGA movement. What time would this go on? I think they're going to have a business lunch, et cetera. Is the press conference going to come after that?
Brian Glenn
Yes, yes, the press conference is going to go after that. We're going to airlift from Windsor Castle tomorrow to Checkers. So you're going to see we'll have some great helicopter footage coming off the ground there. Stay tuned for that. But yeah, it's a press conference is after they have I think a brief lunch and then President Trump is scheduled to depart from London tomorrow afternoon, I think around 4 o' clock and he makes his way back to the White House. Should be at the White House around 7:30 Eastern Time tomorrow. So full day tomorrow. But stay tuned to Real America's Voice. I know this time change, Steve, is a little difficult for programming wise but we're going to make sure we get as much content as possible. Steve, I've been recording as much as I can on my phone. Follow me at Brian Glenn TV on X, on Getter, on Truth Social and also on Instagram. I'm trying to put up as much stuff as I can for my trip here in London.
Steve Bannon
Brian, great job as usual and we and we will see tomorrow if Brian gets the first gets the first question then what will be a massive press conference at Checkers with the world's media there. Good on you sir. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
Brian Glenn
Thank you. Thank you sir.
Steve Bannon
Brian Glenn, the pomp and circumstance has just been extraordinary. Of course they had the passing review today of the troops. They had all the fife and drum corps very much just absolutely incredible. They also had I think yesterday when President Trump arrived. But this was just absolutely extraordinary. What's gone down. And President Trump was looking forward to this. Remember, he's only the, he's the first American president to ever, to ever have two state visits, one in his first term and one in his second term. So pretty extraordinary. And of course, to have the national anthem played in a place where much of the plotting of the Revolutionary War, remember the Revolutionary War to the British was almost like Vietnam to the United States. There was big parts of commons and even big parts of the aristocracy that did not support what was going on in George III's handling of the colonies. And so it was a very, very, very contentious, the debates in Parliament. And I think Edmund Burke and others were very adamant about us being Englishmen, of course, George iii, who eventually, you know, devolved into madness. If you've ever read the books or seen the movie. The loss of North America, the loss of America really, really, really shocked him. And he was never able to get over it. And here's the reason. They were starting a world empire with India in the United States being kind of the two footings on it. And they got it done in India and they failed miserably in the United States. And that Revolutionary war that started even before the gunfire started in 1775 at Lexington and Concord went on for what, another six or so years, but I don't think really ended. I keep saying that the war with England didn't really end until Andrew Jackson, our great populist nationalist president, ended at the Battle of New Orleans on what January was it? Fifth. Right. January 5th of 1815. And so today, President Trump there for a second state visit. You could tell he was loving it. Very symbolic. Could we go ahead and play the. I'll tell you what, we'll do it when we get back. I want to play the national anthem there. A lot of news, A big event happening up in Pennsylvania right now. We're going to try to get to the bottom of that, at least get a first report on it. And the fireworks went on today. Cdc, the fired CDC director representing Big Pharma, of course, a handful of senators representing the administration and Bobby Kennedy. It got pretty brutal. Cash Patel gave as good as he got, but he also went, he also was getting body slammed there in the House oversight. So a lot going on today, of course, a rate cut finally, only 25 basis points. But I think hints there will be two more cuts prior to the end of the year. 25 basis point cut finally by Powell. President Trump said this should have come a long time ago. In fact, we now know the votes of the governors of the Federal Reserve was not unanimous, which is pretty extraordinary. Steve Mirren, the economist, the chairman of the Council on Economic Advisers in the White House, and also at least an interim governor of the Federal Reserve, voted against it and she said it should be a 50 basis point cut.

Okay, right there. The Pomp and Circumstance Day, the military review, Fife and drums, all of it. My, my concern is a little bit like I think it was in 1997 when Hong Kong, when Hong Kong was turned back over to, to the Chinese Communist Party, they had a, you know, they had a hundred year lease on Kowloon or the New Territories, but the Chinese were going to cut them off from water. So Thatcher Thatcher made a deal and eventually led to the turnover of Hong Kong. And as we've seen, the Chinese Communist Party has not lived up to any their, any of their commitments. I was watching when the, because I had pulled into Hong Kong many times as a, on a Destroyer in the 7th Fleet. Hong Kong was one of our stops and it couldn't, right there on the, on the waterfront was the, was the head. There was a tower, there was the head of the Asian Command of the, of the British really the British Empire, Singapore, Hong Kong, all of it kind of was. Was headquartered there. This was in the 1970s, late 70s when I was over there. So this was 1997. I'd gone to Hong Kong so many times on business, both at Goldman Sachs and then when I had my own firm, used to go over all the time. Absolutely loved Hong Kong. My favorite. My favorite city in the world. Just, it's spectacular. Great people energy. Just incredible. And they played. And that night, of course, it was kind of in a monsoon because the thing happened in June. They had the. They trooped to guard and they. Our troop, the colors. They had all this pageantry of really the Asian, the British leaving Asia. Essentially, when they marched off the parade ground, it took so long that it got to be night there in kind of a driving rain. And King Charles was Prince Charles. Then, of course, his mother never turned it over while she was alive. Just a footnote. And I was sitting there thinking, you know, this pageantry is amazing, but the Chinese Communist Party really doesn't care about that. This is from a bygone era, and it's absolutely fantastic and great, but these folks gave up. They built everything in Hong Kong and they had really such a empire in Asia. And it's all gone. From World War II to the 1990s, it's just all gone. And what you had is the form of empire and the form of control, but you didn't actually have the power yourself. That's kind of struck me today. And here's the reason is that we're in a fight for Christendom. We're in a fight. We're an inflection point. Even Obama said it today. Earlier, Mark Mitchell was on the show, talked about the Fourth Turning, something I've advocated ever since in. Was it 2009? I made a film called Generation Zero, which has been pretty prophetic about the financial collapse and what was all to come forward. And as I said at the time, you know, the financial collapse will lead to a populist uprising. A populist figure will come. That figure was a couple of years later was Donald Trump really started getting serious about it. And he talked about it with us, a couple of Dave Bossie and a couple others in 2010 and August of 2010. But it was really a couple of years later he started getting serious about it. Because every financial collapse like that, you naturally have a populist reaction. Is just. Is the populist reaction going to be to the left or to the right? But what's happened with the Charlie Kirk And I think this is Charlie Kirk. The assassination of Charlie Kirk, so brutal, in cold blood. And now you see these, let's be honest, just freaks and perverts that are coming up in these chats. And what's happening with, you know, his roommate. And I'll be honest, you have to. We've got to get to the bottom of it. We cannot have a Grassy Knoll 2.0. There's all kind of, you know, theories running around, et cetera. And we are people who want to believe, who want to believe. But I don't think there's anybody in this audience that sees that text message last night. It's just no way. A young kid, because, you know, we're produced here. We've got, you know, Grace and Mo and Natalie and all these real superstars, but the internal actual putting the show together every day and running the show is principally young men in their 20s. And I tell folks, if you can get a text message reply from those guys, it's anything more than a. Ugh, right? This is not the most articulate generation when it comes to basically communications, particularly when you're communicating online. There's no way that is like. It's like the King James Bible version. It's impossible that a guy that was under that pressure and remember knowing what he had just done, he's more worried about his grandfather being concerned about losing the gun. Are you kidding me? Dude, you just murdered one of the most prominent people in the world in cold blood in front of the whole world. Right? Are you kidding me? It's just. It just. It's strange. Quadruple. So much of it, the whole thing, it just. It seems like a very bad script, and we have to get to the bottom of it. We owe it to Charlie Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, Charlie Kirk's children, and even broader, because Charlie lived a bigger life. We'd have to do it for the country. Charlie gave his life in defense of his country. He is a casualty in this war. He's a combat casualty. The media went crazy the first day when I said that, the afternoon we flew out to Utah that night. And what we found in Utah was shocking. One of the reasons I don't think we're getting full information, I think Cox, in these progressive Mormons, right, I know it's a big battle behind the scenes with the Mormon Church and what's happened, and people like Cox, they're trying to suppress information to see that, hey, this part of this murderous militia are made up of young Mormons that are furries or, you know, transgender are part of this LGBTQ radical militia. Right? You need all that now. People coming out online and saying, hey, there's been. The NSA knows there are like 20 international intelligence operations, cell phone data. This is my point. We need to. We need to flood the zone with real information that people stand in the back of. And I appreciate the fact that Cash has taken charge of this. They're saying that Dan Bongino is going to leave in a couple weeks. I would plead with Dan Bongino not to do that. Number one, Dan Bongino, such a great guy. But not to do that, because we need Dan Bongino there because I think Dan Bongeno is somebody the audience in the MAGA movement trust to get to the bottom of it. And we have to get to the bottom of it because more information is coming out today. And, you know, we just cannot have. I'm not saying somebody else did had a shot. I'm not saying that there was another angle to a shot. I'm not saying somebody behind him shot him. I'm not saying any of that. What I'm saying is that it's strange credulity given the videos that we've seen, the timeline that we have, the communication they had, the text messages they had, and the fact that nobody's rounded up, including with. I'm adamant, the parents ought to be rounded up, the gay lover rounded up, everybody in the Discord chat rounded up. Round them up and bring them in. Round them up and bring them in and just let them sit there until you finish a thorough interrogation. And don't let things, you know, don't let things, you know, oh, gosh, we didn't do it in some, you know, things have gotten erased or memories fade because it's not good enough. And I don't think the war room audience is a pretty good indicator of kind of common sense. America, decent America, the backbone of the country. And I can tell from talking to people in the chats, et cetera. I don't think one of you right now believes what we're being spoon fed. And this is why I say that this fight against the deep state you saw shift against Kash Patel. Kash Patel had every right to go back on him. Given the history of shift and given what shift has done to this president and to the MAGA movement, and some of that's coming out now with Arctic Frost and other things. There's a lot more to disclose of things that are coming. And Schiff should be. Schiff should right now not even be in the Senate. He should have been turfed out by the governor because he had been indicted and he hasn't. He's allowed to run around the Senate. This is because of a backup of that other part of this, the investigations and the taking apart of the deep state through legal means. So now we have two things, and one is only going to get solved until you have the apparatus in place, the structure in place, to go after it. And when I say go after it, it's not to just go after the furries in the Discord chat. It's not to go after even this young shooter. It's to go over that next layer of who trains these people and then the next layer of who provides these platforms, the companies, the individuals, who finances it, who's their partners in the media, who's who, their partners in politics, and particularly where the money comes from and how much of that money comes from overseas. Charlie Kirk, we talk about this all the time. Charlie Kirk had a. Not a ringside seat. He was in the arena. He had a better feel, I think, than anybody in this country of how the Chinese Communist Party has taken over these universities and spread chaos. They may not be there, you know, selling the Little Red Book and getting everybody to sign on to Chairman Mao out of the gate. They don't need to. They need to sow discord. They need to sow chaos. They need to put doubts in people, everything from their gender to their. Their family's history to the history of this country. If you see. In fact, there's. There was a. I've put up a book on. On kind of like modern social order. I believe it's chapter eight. I'll put this up. It's up on Getter right now. It talks about Christianity, Christianity, all of Christianity as a. As a vehicle for, like, white supremacist hate. This is what's taught from kindergarten all the way through. And conservatives and Republicans have looked the other way for years because it's too hard, it's too personal. It gets very nasty very quickly. We can't do it. You look at that pomp and splendor, all that at Windsor Castle and the parade grounds and tomorrow, Checkers doesn't mean anything if we lose Western civilization. And Western civilization is on the ropes right now. This is an inflection point. The only way it's going to be saved is you. When the American people set their kind of sights on, hey, here's what we have to do and here's how we're going to do it. Then we'll know that we'll begin the journey to save this country. We've come such a long way over the last couple of years. The pandemic, the stolen election, President Trump in exile, all of it. Now, the return to power. And I say with as much as President Trump has done. And I think Rosemary Jenks confirms there's like 1.6 million or almost 2 million foreign nationals, including 1.6 million illegal aliens out of the workforce. Now, whether they've left the country or not, we don't know, but we assume they've left the country. President Trump sealed the border so much that he's done right today. Markets are doing fine because of the rate cut and what he's doing, although everything's not determined by markets. But it's a pretty good indicator of where the smart money thinks things are headed. But we have a fight on our hands. As I told CPI the other night, having the White House and the executive branch, having the House of Representatives, the Senate and basically the Supreme Court, I could argue that as hot as the country is, it's also dark. The forces that hate this country, the forces that hate President Trump, hate the MAGA movement, hate anything decent and good in this country, are not only not giving up, they think they've got a tool now called direct action to actually be victorious. Remember, this is not about unity. I don't care about unity. I care about victory. Short commercial break Back in the warm in just a moment.

Steve Bannon
War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff. You know, I want to talk about your personal journey because that kind of what's going to be most important, particularly we started this show was about six years ago, I think on October, late September, October 1st of 2019 because of Nancy Pelosi going to the United nations. And the United nations happens next week. And by the way, John Thune, can you possibly take a second and maybe stay Friday afternoon and get President Trump's team. Mike Waltz, a UN Ambassador, he needs a team. The President of the United States cannot go to New York and not have people confirmed by the Senate. This is just not acceptable. It's not acceptable. And if you have to stay and miss the flight on Thursday, fly out day and stay the next day, then you got to do it. Or like for President Trump, I said, and I recommended this, it should have happened in August. He forced him to take a recess and just do recess appointments. This is now getting to be. It's nonsense And President Trump needs those people. And I think the UN Starts from next week. Well, six years ago, Nancy Pelosi went up there and gave that talk about impeaching Trump. And I'd said in 2018, I said, hey, the midterms are all going to come down to. They're going to walk precincts and knock on doors and get everybody out there. And I think they picked up 40 seats to impeach Trump. That was the whole pitch. And they came up with the phony. He had the perfect phone call and that phony thing on Zelensky that started for those of you that were with us at that time and everybody else that came on during the, you know, through the impeachment, through the pandemic, to the run up of the 2020 election, to the big steal in the 2020 election, to the years in exile, particularly those first two years when it looked pretty grim, 21 and 22. And then for the massive win in the midterms and then this historic win in 2024, that's all your work. You have been on a journey and that's why these fights on vaccines and everything that we're fighting for, you've been there. And it's only getting more intense. It's only getting more intense. And one of the reasons is the opposition to you understands what's happened and understands what happens to this country when you're in charge. And they hate it. You know why they hate it? They are demonic. This is not about talking about marginal tax rates and not talking about some, you know, welfare program or national defense. None of that. The fights in Obama's time and Obamacare, they seem quite quaint and tiny. We're in a fight for Christendom. We're in a fight for Western civilization. We're in a fight for our country. A fight, not a debate, not some sort of salon, right? Not sitting down, having dinner and like this. Guys, you see Jamie Ruskin today. You see him going after Cash Patel. Did you see yesterday's shifty shift? Did you see Cory Booker going after Cash Patel? Did you see Mark, he didn't get a chance to play with Markwain. Was it Mark? Wayne Mueller from Oklahoma going after the CDC calling her a bald faced liar. Rand Paul calling her a bald faced liar. This has not happened. This has happened before the Civil War and we are here. I said England's spinning to a. All that pageantry tonight. All that, the toast and history and King Charles reading this thing. They're heading to a civil war that the elites brought on to the country and Tommy Robinson and kind of the British lads were out in the streets with millions of people. Most of those folks middle class folks. Mike, I got a couple of minutes. I've kind of rambled here. What do you got for me, sir?

Date: September 17, 2025
Podcast: Real America’s Voice
Host: Steve Bannon
Notable Guests: King Charles III (speech segment), President Donald J. Trump (speech segment), Brian Glenn (correspondent), Charlie Kirk (frequent mention)
This episode offers extensive coverage and live reaction to the historic state dinner at Windsor Castle, featuring speeches by King Charles III and President Donald J. Trump. The episode frames the event as a symbolic reaffirmation of the US-UK "special relationship" and explores wider Western political tensions, including the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk, economic challenges, and the struggle to preserve "Western civilization" and Christendom in the face of left-wing and globalist threats. The show interlaces detailed event analysis with broader political commentary, echoing Bannon's populist-nationalist perspective.
[03:36–22:00]
Context: President Trump’s second state visit to the UK, hosted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle, described as an "extraordinary" spectacle of pageantry, military review, and bilateral symbolism.
Notable Participants: King Charles III, President Trump, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Princess Catherine.
Significance: Bannon repeatedly underscored the unique nature of this visit, noting Trump as the first US president to have two state visits—framing it as an occasion to reinforce Western alliances:
"The bond of kinship and identity between America and the United Kingdom is priceless and eternal. It's irreplaceable and unbreakable..."
—Donald J. Trump, [14:00]
[05:07–13:59]
A gracious welcome that:
Celebrated the "special relationship" between the US and UK, built on shared history, ideals, and military alliance.
Marked the 250th anniversary of US independence, reflecting on progress since the era of George Washington and King George III.
Emphasized joint achievements: trade, science, defense, culture, and recent partnerships (e.g. Aukus submarine alliance, technology pacts, and defense of Ukraine).
Of note:
"Today, however, we celebrate a relationship between our two countries that surely neither Washington nor King George III could possibly have imagined."
—King Charles III, [06:55]
"Our countries are working together in support of crucial diplomatic efforts, not least of which, Mr. President, is your own personal commitment to finding solutions to some of the world’s most intractable conflicts in order to secure peace."
—King Charles III, [11:53]
[14:00–21:59]
A reciprocal response that:
Praised King Charles’s devotion to nation, environment, and culture.
Recounted the inherited British traditions of liberty, law, and intellectual achievement that shaped America.
Stressed the intertwined destinies of both countries:
"We're like two notes in one chord or two verses of the same poem, each beautiful on its own, but really meant to be played together."
—Donald J. Trump, [16:47]
Trump asserted US economic and political resurgence, attributed to "the footing that you gave us when we started."
Called to defend shared heritage and values against tyranny.
"Together we've done more good for humanity than any two countries in all of history. Together we must defend the exceptional heritage that makes us who we are."
—Donald J. Trump, [18:47]
[22:41–23:51 | 28:35–36:46]
[23:51–28:35 | 36:46–52:04]
Populist Nationalism Uprising: Bannon highlights the perceived groundswell of British patriotism and dissatisfaction with current UK leadership (Labour’s Keir Starmer), mentioning economic and immigration crisis:
"You've seen this uprising of old fashioned British patriotism... you've got Starmer... vastly unpopular with a massive economic crisis on his hand and immigration crisis."
—Steve Bannon, [23:51]
Wider Geopolitical Moment: Both Bannon and Glenn stress the realpolitik undercurrent, contrasting the pomp at Windsor to "tectonic plate shift" in Western politics.
"Western civilization or Western and Christendom is really at an inflection point... Is this understanding? It's to reinforce the special relationship between the two countries. Do people there understand that there's, there's real tectonic plate shift going on underneath the surface of both American and British politics?"
—Steve Bannon, [24:16]
Glenn replies that there is a growing awareness in the UK of the need for a strong relationship with America amidst economic challenges.
Perspectives from the Ground: Glenn reports positive public sentiment towards Trump, "embracing this visit," and mentions that some anti-Trump protests were isolated or minor.
Upcoming Bilateral Meeting: Preview of Trump’s meeting with PM Starmer at Checkers and forecast of joint press conference.
[36:46–52:04]
Historical Analogies: Bannon likens the Windsor event to the handover of Hong Kong (1997) as a caution—pageantry doesn’t always protect real power or civilization.
"Fight for Christendom": The recurring refrain is that the West is under existential threat from internal and external enemies: globalists, "deep state," radical left, and CCP influence.
"We're in a fight for Christendom. We're in a fight for Western civilization. We're in a fight for our country. Not a debate, not some sort of salon..."
—Steve Bannon, [52:17]
Charlie Kirk Assassination:
Note: Bannon addresses it with strong emotion and skepticism about the official narrative.
[28:35–32:42]
King Charles III on History:
"I cannot help but wonder what our forebears from 1776 would make of this friendship today."
– King Charles III, [06:46]
Trump on Anglo-American Bond:
"We're like two notes in one chord or two verses of the same poem, each beautiful on its own, but really meant to be played together."
– Donald J. Trump, [16:47]
Bannon on the Inflection Point:
"Western civilization or Western and Christendom is really at an inflection point."
– Steve Bannon, [24:16]
Bannon Calls for Action:
"We need to flood the zone with real information that people stand in the back of. And I appreciate the fact that Kash has taken charge of this."
– Steve Bannon, [43:47]
Bannon on Pageantry vs. Reality:
"You look at that pomp and splendor, all that at Windsor Castle and the parade grounds and tomorrow, Checkers, doesn't mean anything if we lose Western civilization. And Western civilization is on the ropes right now."
– Steve Bannon, [46:27]
Charlie Kirk’s Death as a Call to Arms:
"Charlie gave his life in defense of his country. He is a casualty in this war. He's a combat casualty."
– Steve Bannon, [41:18]

This episode documents a high-profile diplomatic spectacle while powerfully underscoring the War Room’s core message: that gestures of unity and tradition must be coupled with vigilant defense of Western values against both internal and external threats. Bannon and guests frame the current moment as a historic crossroads, invoking the legacy of the Anglo-American alliance and making an urgent call for conservative action and unity.
