Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The State of Free Speech, Repression, and McCarthyism (02:34–05:21)

• Discussion of State Power:

  • Bannon and guests compare current governmental and institutional crackdowns to McCarthy-era tactics, but argue the present is "faster and more systemic.”
  • Quote:
    • “[In] the 1950s… over the course of a decade, 10,000 people lost their jobs here. In the course of a week…it seems as if…more than 1,000 people lost their jobs. It took years for the McCarthyites to bring Hollywood to heel. Here, it seems like it happened in an absolute flash. And it’s because the state is at the center of the repression…” — Political Commentator (03:05)

• Project 2025 and Conservative Governance:

  • Reference to the “Project 2025” blueprint for restructuring the federal government to reach longstanding conservative goals and wage a “culture war.”
  • Expansion of government influence into universities and media, illustrated by recent firings and the installation of federal monitors.

2. On Confrontation and Unity: The Charlie Kirk Vigil and Direction of the Movement (05:21–06:15; 21:18–25:02)

• Rejecting Calls for ‘Unity’:

  • Panel denounces appeals to “tone down rhetoric” and unify with ideological opponents:
    • “We ain’t de-escalating nothing. You ain’t seen nothing yet. We have not yet begun to fight.” — Stephen K. Bannon (06:15)
  • Charlie Kirk is memorialized as a victim of left-wing violence with discussions of retaliation: “Stop with the Kumbaya. Stop with the unity. There’s no both sides here. … What we do want to do is kick their ass in an election." — Wayne Allen Root (23:23)

• Personal Stories of Standing Up to Bullies:

  • Wayne Allen Root recounts being bullied at school and learning the lesson “you have to earn their respect by fighting them.”
    • “The more you sang Kumbaya and got on your knees, the more they beat you up, taunted you and laughed at you. Until finally I learned how to fight.” (25:02)

3. Historical Parallels: McCarthy, the Loss of China, and Betrayal by Elites (06:15–14:52)

• The McCarthy Analogy:

  • Bannon draws extensive parallels between Joe McCarthy’s Senate battles and the current fight against “globalists” and “Marxists,” alleging decades of national betrayal by American elites:
    • “McCarthy stood up in the Senate, and he called out Marshall…took him on and he field stripped him…how could we spend all this money and all this blood…how can we be the victors and…just tossed the keys to another great ally, the Chinese people…to the communists.” — Stephen K. Bannon (13:10)

• Dismissing Liberal Interpretations:

  • Argues that mainstream histories obscure McCarthy’s “taking down” of General Marshall and the transfer of power to communists.

4. Critique of Republican ‘RINOs’ and Utah’s Transformation (28:45–32:27)

• Utah as a Case Study:

  • Discussion of Spencer Cox (Governor of Utah) as a symbol of “RINO” Republicans allowing “woke” and “pro-immigration” agendas.
  • “It’s more like…the Mitt Romney type of Republican. Spencer Cox is a Mitt Romney rhino Republican. …the state is good with taxes, [but] socially liberal and woke…” — Wayne Allen Root (29:20)

• Religious Groups and Immigration:

  • Critique of the Mormon and Catholic churches for supporting illegal immigration for financial benefit.

5. Infantilization, Academia, and the Generation Gap (36:00–41:20)

• Campus Culture and ‘Care Stations’:
  • Bannon highlights news of a Utah university providing “care stations offering stuffed animals, candy and connections to counseling” to returning students after the Kirk tragedy.
    • “This is the type of infantilism that destroyed the shooter…This is what we have to hit the blowtorch on. This is destroying our nation, a nation built by 17 and 18 year olds that sacrificed in all of our wars.” — Stephen K. Bannon (38:34)

6. Capitalism vs. Leftism in Media and Entertainment (41:20–42:08)

• Hollywood’s Reaction and Hypocrisy:

  • Wayne Allen Root draws a line between the lack of public mourning for Kirk and the outrage over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension:
    • “Nobody shed a tear for Charlie Kirk dying that day. No one shed a tear for his life being blown away. They cheered it, but now they’re hysterical over Jimmy Kimmel being suspended. …That dichotomy explains it all. They hate you. They want to see us dead. …But if one person loses their job on tv, Republicans are bad. The Orange man is the fascist.” (39:15)

• Defending Market Forces:

  • Celebrates Kimmel’s ouster as “capitalism in action,” blaming Kimmel’s declining ratings on his anti-conservative stance.

7. Artificial Intelligence and Memorializing Charlie Kirk (47:00–50:00)

• Rejection of AI Overreach:
  • Bannon criticizes evangelical churches using AI to simulate posthumous messages from Kirk:
    • “If you go and use a computer and…let people think that is Charlie from beyond the grave—No, you are summoning the demon…Charlie Kirk does not need that. The memory of Charlie Kirk does not need that.” — Stephen K. Bannon (49:10)

8. Calls to Action & Upcoming Commemoration (42:11–43:00)

• Charlie Kirk’s Celebration of Life:

  • Details plans for wall-to-wall live coverage of a memorial event for Charlie Kirk, with prominent political figures in attendance.

• Ongoing Investigations:

  • Pledge to continue focus on uncovering the roots of violence and the supposed designation of “transgender militias” as domestic terror threats.

• On Fighting, Not Unity
  “We ain’t de-escalating nothing…We have not yet begun to fight.” (Bannon, 06:15)

Conclusion

This episode centers heavily on the legacy of Charlie Kirk, using his death as a focal point for a broader critique of the left, establishment Republicans, academia, and media. The mood is resolute, urging no compromise or softening of rhetoric, and making broader appeals to fight back against what the hosts see as a concerted cultural, political, and spiritual assault.
The overarching message: now is the time for unwavering action, not unity or reconciliation—and to finish what the conservative movement started, honoring figures like Kirk by refusing to “lose again” or return to “half-measures.”

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Going to declare antifa, whatever that really.

[Wayne Allen Root]

Is, as a terrorist group, something he.

[Political Commentator]

Actually can't do if it's in the United States.

[Wayne Allen Root]

Take this all together here. This seems like it is a systemic, a planned crackdown, and one that seems to be very, very dangerous, right?

[Political Commentator]

In our political vernacular. There's a term that gets bandied about to describe repression, which is McCarthyism. And I think it's worth comparing the repression that happened in the late 1940s and the 1950s to what's happening now in the 1950s. Over the course of a decade, 10,000 people lost their jobs here. In the course of a week, it seems as if, according to reporting, more than 1,000 people lost. Lost their jobs. It took years for the McCarthyites to bring Hollywood to heel here. It seems like it happened in an absolute flash. And it's because the state is at the center of the repression, not some, you know, not some drunken senator on a rage, on a rampage and some other up and coming ambitious politicians exploiting an issue. And if I, you know, I think about Project 2025 and how that provided a roadmap to remaking the kind of the mechanics, the plumbing of the federal government in order to achieve all sorts of longstanding conservative goals, but also to engage in a form of culture war. And, you know, when we look at what's happened not just to the entertainment industry, not just the threats that have been an actual punishment that's been inflicted on, on media, you look at what's happened to the university and the fact that the president of Texas A and M was just fired this week over a controversy where a professor was fired, you look at the fact that there is a federal monitor now installed at Columbia University and that there are all these other threats being wielded against other institutions, and you add that to the way in which the state, state as this font of knowledge, has been reshaped in order to present only good news that the leader likes, and you take that together as an aggregate impression of where we're at in merely the first couple months of this administration, and you think about the years ahead of us, and you compare that to what happened during the McCarthy era, you'd say we've, we've survived, you know, a decade of McCarthyism in a very, very short period of time. And there's a lot of Runway left.

[Steve Bannon]

Steve Bannon called, talked about you calling.

[Christina Williams]

To tone down the rhetoric, saying that the following saying Spencer Cox is a.

[Steve Bannon]

National embarrassment in a time where we need action.

[Christina Williams]

He tells us to sing Kumbaya and hold hands with antifa.

[Steve Bannon]

This is not a time for trioche.

[Christina Williams]

Excuse me, pontificating. This is a time to declare antifa.

[Steve Bannon]

A domestic terrorist organization and have the.

[Christina Williams]

FBI go kick down some doors.

[Steve Bannon]

What's your response to Steve Bannon?

[Wayne Allen Root]

Well, again, Mr. Bannon is angry, and rightfully so. And I'm not saying we have to just sing Kumbaya and hold hands. What I'm saying is we actually should disagree. I think Charlie represented that better than anyone. Charlie said some very inflammatory things. And in some corners of the Web.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

All people, okay, we're not angry. We're focused, dude. And guess what? The president came out and said he's going to designate antifa terrorist organization. Thank you very much. And we have from Ken Klippenstein this scoop from the inside the FBI about immediately designating these transgender militias violent extremists. Nihilistic violent extremists. NV es to get into it quickly. And this is the culmination of a lot of things. And Cox is up to his neck in this and should be and must be, and trust me, Cox, we are driving this, that you and your wife are part of being investigated. Because what you have done in Utah and what you have done, just like Abbott, you gutless Republicans are not going to be able to sit there and push these programs and then, oh, let's just tone it down. Let's de escalate. We ain't de escalating nothing. You ain't seen nothing yet. We have not yet begun to fight. I want to go back to the beginning of that. And Ben Smith over at Semaphore, he's right. We like smashing our enemies more than some esoteric discussion of the First Amendment. Because you know what? Buckley and Will and all you guys, you discussed the First Amendment forever. And then when they shut down MAGA and they shut down Trump, you said nothing and you did nothing. So now President Trump and the MAGA movement's in power, and, hey, it's going to be what it's going to be. And guess what? Capitalists are making decisions. It was the affiliates, the two biggest affiliate groups that came and said, hey, we don't want this guy anymore. We got to have the local auto ad and the. And the local, you know, Orkin guy and the florist and the tile company. That's how we make Our money is on these local ads. And guess what? It ain't selling. And we're not going to put it up there. Particularly the Vitro we knew Jimmy Kimmel now said I was coming back next day and really Rip Mag. Rip Magus Face off would do it. Dude, you do it. Go do it on some YouTube channel. And I don't think we've been hard enough. And cbs, the Ellison should, should. His son just bought it instead of trying to go buy cnn. And all this because I do think because we're antitrust guys, it's a little too much consolidation of power. And I don't love the TikTok deal. We'll talk about that maybe this afternoon. As you know, I'm not a fan of TikTok because of the Chinese Communist Party and the algorithm. But I want to go back to what the blowhard then said. I think from the Atlantic, I think his name's Ford. From the Atlantic, McCarthy. And McCarthy is a book that you must read. And Ann Coulter says it's the second most important book in back of the Bible that is Blacklisted by history by M. Stanton Evans, one of Buckley's, I think the editor of the National Review for decades and decades and decades blacklisted by history about the true story of McCarthy. And couple that with getting Andrew Breitbart's righteous indignation which goes through the whole, not just Andrew's journey, but the whole thing about the Frankfurt School, Herbert Marcuse, the Marxism, because Marx, not communism. The economic system failed. None of the CCP guys in Beijing ain't communist, trust me. They got a form of state capitalism. The Russians were not communist. They're Marxist. They're against the basic tenets of the Judeo Christian west of the foundational elements that have allowed us to rise to greatness. They hate that. And you see critical theory, critical race theory, and then what Queer theory or critical queer theory, whatever they call it, this is the descent into hell. That's Dante's Inferno. You know how right McCarthy was and they hate him. You know how right he was. I think it was in 1950. He stood up and gave a. I believe it's a six hour speech in the Senate. It's, it's summarized in a book, I think it's called Retreat from History. Retreat from Victory. And I will make sure that I make this because I think it's public domain now, but I'll make sure that people can see it. He stands up for six hours and he has one target. He knew Alinsky before Alinsky McCarthy had one target. No, he was not a drunk. He had been a tail gunner for the Marine. And he did have a drinking problem later. But this time, McCarthy stood up for six hours in the United States Senate, and he took on the most prominent person in the country and the biggest globalist. And it hurts me as a Virginian to say this, because he is revered and I revered him. You were raised right by people like Robert E. Lee and General Marshall. Okay, General Marshall, George Marshall. He takes a. Marshall is bigger than Eisenhower. Marshall is bigger than Truman. Marshall is. Because he's the architect of victory. And he eviscerates this guy for six hours and he gets all about who lost China. 1949, we essentially turned the country over to Mao and these bandits that didn't lift a finger to fight the Japanese. In fact, they fought the Nationalists the entire time. And because of Edgar Snow and some neo Marxists that went over there and wrote these glowing biographies about these agrarian populists, right, these agrarian reformers, right, they took this murderous dictatorship was already in the making. And, oh, this is so fantastic, we turned the country over to them. In 1949, the Chinese Communist Party, they know this because in 1989, what, 50 years later when they collapsed again because the Chinese people, Lao Beijing, had a belly full of it again, guess who bailed them out? Bush sent Skrukoff over and we. We gave. We, the United States government. You, with all the. All the. All the blood that we had given in the Pacific, everything of all those islands of Tarawa and Peleliu in Saipan, and all of it. And all the dead over the. In the air raids over Japan, all the naval vessels left from Pearl harbor all the way through Coral Sea, added all up. We gave China, which was the Imperial Japan, the whole fight was about China. And we gave it to the communists. We, your government, gave it to the Communists. And McCarthy called them out for six hours. He went through chapter and verse why we didn't go to Berlin, why he held up Montgomery and Patton from going to Berlin when we were like 50 miles away. Never. That has never been explained. Why did we stop? Why did we let the Red army go? Why did we arm Stalin? They were our allies. The Russian people were the great allies. They gave in their blood to defeat the Wehrmacht. But why did we keep arming Stalin after 1943 when it was obvious he was going to crush them? The State Department and FDR's administration were rife not just with communists. I'm talking KGB informants, KGB officers and people like, if Stone and Alger Hiss, that lied and covered up by the same people on Morning Joe Today. The exact same people lied to the American people. And McCarthy stood up in the Senate and he called out Marshall. He had the guts and, and the balls to take on a guy that was essentially a God in the United States. If you had a secular God, it was General Marshall. And he took him on and he field stripped him. He field stripped him of how could we spend all this money and all this blood and win the greatest tragedy in world history? How can we be the victors? And you have the Russians have taken Germany, they've taken the Iron Curtain. You've got all Eastern Europe are captive nations. And now we just tossed the keys to another great ally, the Chinese people, Lao Beijing. We tossed the keys to the communists who by the way went about murder him as course as they can. And then invading Korea, right? And there we had to defend our great allies in South Korea or in the Korea peninsula at that time. He took them on and he field stripped him. You know how he field stripped him? How did we start this show this morning? We start the show with Brian Harrison down in the great state of Texas. And last night when Daily Mail put that lead story up, I put up, I just got it. My team helped me put it up. Boom.

[NFL Shop Announcer]

Scalp. Scalp.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

We called him a Breitbart. It's a scalp. You got it, baby. You took it. 90 days after McCarthy went into the Senate and gave that speech, 90 days, General George Catlett Marshall resigned and retired from public life because of, had to spend more time with his family. 90 days and never gave a retort. So we see the George Clooney, you know, thing Murray, Edward R. Murrow, that's all afterwards. That's all afterwards. The main event is he took down the globalist who, who knows what side he's working on. And if you read all the biographies, and I've read them all on McCarthy, I think there's nine or ten big ones. They give a little tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny piece of him taking down Marshall. He took him down. And the guy didn't even defend himself because there was no defense of it. You've been betrayed by this government for decade after decade after decade, these globalists and these Marxists that have been in business with these global Marxists for decades and decades and decades. You're seeing the manifestation of it now in these public schools. The public schools and private schools ought to be designated as terrorist organizations to a way they are molding these children into unhappy, unfulfilled and oftentimes murderous to themselves. The suicide race through the roof. Depressed, angry, lashing out. That just doesn't happen. These little kids go in with the bright eyes and all that and look what they're turning out. Look what's in the Reddit channels. Look what, look what you saw in Utah. No, there can be no half measures here. If you want a half measure, get away from me. There's plenty of people want half measures and plenty of people that want, that want to unify. Sing Kumbaya, God bless you, Go do it. We ain't gonna do it. We'll unify after we win and will unify on our terms. Short break. Back in a moment.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Well, I said we're at war, so I'm gonna bring in Wayne Allen Root right now. Wayne, you know, look what I my rant. You. You know, a chapter and verse. You were Obama's and I don't want to go there today, but you were Obama's classmate at at Columbia. Classmate. Broadly defined. Tell me about it. Tell me about this moment we're in and particularly one of the reasons I saw up on Getter. You had a great rant about Utah, a state you love, and what's happened there under. Under Cox. So give me your thoughts on everything I just talked about.

[Wayne Allen Root]

Well, first of all, everything you just talked about is on the money, man. You are over the target, my friend. No wonder you take flack, because you are on the target. My dad, by the way, you mentioned World War II in Saipan and Iwo Jima. My dad fought at Okinawa, which was probably minute by minute, inch by inch, the worst battle, the bloodiest battle in the history of warfare, perhaps probably worse than the Battle of Bulge, worse than Normandy. My dad was behind enemy lines, a radio operator, and won all kinds of medals. And I always. He was my hero. I always loved my dad. And I saw the pictures of war and I learned how horrible it really is. But listen, Columbia first.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. What would your dad. Those guys at Okinawa, those guys at Saipan, those guys in the 8th Air Force over Germany, bombing the Nazis back into the Stone Age, Those guys that hit the beaches of Normandy and were Patton's 3rd army and got held up 50 miles from Berlin because they had to let the Red. Had to let the Communists take it, had to let Stalin run the deal. What would he say about the state of this nation today, sir?

[Wayne Allen Root]

Well, he's rolling over in his grave. That's what he would say. He couldn't believe, I'm sure he would say, that. He fought for this nation, for capitalism, for freedom. And we've got what we had under Obama, and we've got what we had under Biden, the censorship and the silencing and the banning and the declaring of conservatives as domestic terrorists, even though you and I both know, Steve, that no conservative has any interest in ever killing, murdering, assassinating someone we disagree with. It's not both sides. It's the biggest lie ever told. I was honored, Steve, to help lead the vigil for Charlie Kirk on Thursday night in Las Vegas. We had a prayer vigil, and hundreds of people showed up, all of them crying and broken and lonely and feeling just abandoned. And I gave them a pep talk, and I said, then on Thursday night, stop with the Kumbaya. Stop with the unity. There's no both sides here. We don't want to kill our enemy. We don't want to murder. We don't want to assassinate. We don't want to silence. We don't want to censor. We don't do those things. Only the left does it. But what we do want to do is kick their ass in an election. What we do want to do is make sure they never are near the levers of power ever again because they are communists. They are traitors to this country. They hate us and they want to keep kill us. And you cannot unify with people that want to kill you. You cannot unify.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

But hang on. I know, but hang on. I got it. I got it. But it's not just about elections. I mean, Abbott in Texas and Cox and Cox won reelection. It's what you do with the power when you have it right. Right now, we've just spent decades being tapped along by these rhino Republicans that just want to go along to get along and basically surrender after we win. That must stop. That is why President Trump is one of the greatest leaders this country's ever had. And we have to back him up because there's people around him that want to slow it down, too. And that's why the Charlie Kirk situation is so outrageous. And their behavior, the less behavior to the memory of Charlie Kirk and to his family and his children are so outrageous that this is why you can't compromise with these people. Wayne.

[Wayne Allen Root]

Right. You can never compromise. Listen, I learned that at Mount Vernon High School. I grew up in Mount Vernon, New York. I went on the Bronx borderline, went to one of the most dangerous inner city high schools, Steve, in the United States of America, where people walked around with guns and knives. And I was a little, skinny, pale Jewish kid with braces and glasses and acne. And I got beat up every day and chased home from school, and they stole my lunch money and they stole my lunch. And every day I tried to sing Kumbaya and you unify and it never worked. The more you sang Kumbaya and got on your knees, the more they beat you up, taunted you and laughed at you. Until finally I learned how to fight. And I learned how to lift weights and I learned how to street fight one summer, came back from that summer a different person. And the first three guys that picked on me, bullies, I beat the crap out of them and knocked two of them out and knocked their teeth out. And guess what happened after that, Steve? Nobody ever bullied me again. And I became friends with the bullies. They wanted to be my buddy. And I became the star of the school and got elected vice president my class and made three sports teams. Everything changed when I got the attitude and the understanding that you can never bow to your enemies and you can never kiss their. You know what? You can never kiss their ring. You can never get on your knees. You have to earn Their respect and for fight them. And when you fight them and you win, they suddenly become your buddy. Everything changes. And from that point on, my life changed. I never looked back. Never got to fight the rest of my life. Nobody ever tried me the rest of my life. That's the lesson I learned on the mean streets in New York. And that's why I have the same kind of attitude as Donald J. Trump. Because in New York, when you walk those streets, if you don't have confidence and you don't have a swagger and you're not willing to fight, you don't meet their eye. When they look at you, if you don't eye them back, you're going to get your ass kicked or whipped or much worse, you're going to die. And I learned that I almost died twice in Malvern High School, by the way, at the hands of a guy with a machete. So I learned how to fight Steve. But I didn't come on to talk about Malvern High School. I came on to talk about Columbia University, where I was Obama's classmate. Yeah, but forget Obama. He was never there. No one saw him. He's the Manchurian Candidate. More important story that relates to Today day. Exact relation to today is that I was in class at Columbia University when Reagan was shot. And my class was the biggest political science class at Columbia. In a theater in the Round with giant high ceilings where it echoed. And a kid smashed through the doors and came in. And 300 students turned around and looked at the guy who smashed through the door, wondering, what's going on? And the guy yelled, they just shot Reagan. They just assassinated Reagan. That's the words he used. I guess he thought Reagan was dead. He'd gotten a report that Reagan was dead or was just hopeful thinking. And he said, they've assassinated Reagan. They've shot Reagan. Reagan was my hero. I loved Reagan. I thought of him as my father. Right. I loved him. And I heard this, and I was in shock, and I was ready to cry, and I just couldn't believe what I was hearing. And the entire class's reaction was what, Steve? They all stood up and gave a standing ovation and screamed, yeah, Reagan's dead. Yeah. I witnessed it with my own eyes 45 years ago. Nothing has changed. Liberals hate us, they want to kill us, and they celebrate our death. Nothing changed between Ronald Reagan in 1982 and Charlie Kirk in 2025. They're the same people. They're the grandkids of the people that cheered in my classroom because a great conservative patriot hero they thought was assassinated and they loved it. Nothing has changed.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Talk to me about one thing has changed is that Utah used to be one of the most rock rib conservative states in the country. You had this piece out the other day that talked about Cox and you have an intimate knowledge of what he's done. And I mean, it's shocking. And to me, he should be part of this investigation for how he's forced to sel social, emotional, learning and other of these woke ideologies into the school system. And remember, he had the zoom call nationwide or had it in Utah, which got played up nationwide. He wanted to talk about his pronouns and how it was fine to be transgender and they were there to be nurturing and loving.

[Wayne Allen Root]

Sir, It's a different kind of Republicanism in Utah. Let me tell you about Utah. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. That's my hometown. But my second home is in Park City, Utah. We spend a lot of time there. I love it. We always say it's God's country. God keeps a summer home in Park City, Utah. It's the most beautiful place, I think, in the whole world. It's my happy place. But even though Utah is a very red Republican state, it's not my kind of Republican. It's more like in the old days when I was a kid growing up the Javits Rockefeller Republican. Now it's the Mitt Romney type of Republican. Spencer Cox is a Mitt Romney rhino Republican. And even though they're very fiscally conservative, the state has no problems with budget. The state is good with taxes, the state is good with spending deficits, great on all those things. Fiscally conservative, but socially liberal and woke. And they've allowed this infiltration in their state of communists and these transgender and queer organizations. And even worse than that, in my opinion, is they're very pro illegal immigration because the Mormon church has NGOs that make billions of dollars, just like the Catholic Church. Bringing illegals in, that's their business. That's how they make money. Steve, the church is happy if you add another 10,000 people this year or 10,000 this week, because that's 10,000 new people who put money in the collection plate. But guess who pays for it when they're all on welfare and food stamps and go to public school at 20,000 a year each. And they all have five kids and they. And they hate America. Guess who pays for that? The American taxpayer. Not the Mormon Church, not the Catholic Church, not a Jewish temple. All these religions love bringing in illegal aliens because they get more money in the collection plate. And they don't have to pay for it because the taxpayer pays the welfare, the food stamps, and all the money required to bring them in. So the Mormon church, just like the Catholic Church, just like Jewish organizations, they get paid by the government billions for bringing illegals in. Then they convert them to their church or their temple or whatever it may be, and it's even more money for them. And if you have 12 kids, they're happy because those 12 kids will grow up Mormon or Catholic or Jewish and put money in the collection plate, but they don't have to pay the bill. So Utah has become a state filled with immigrants, mostly illegal immigrants, but also legal immigrants. And the church loves it. And the GOP there is tied in with the Mormon Church. They love it. They're woke. They love transgenders. They love gays. Salt Lake City has become liberal woke, filled with homeless people, filled with drugs, filled with murder. Salt Lake is like every other city in America, run by Democrats because it is run by a Democrat mayor. By the way, Salt Lake is like Chicago or New York, except it's a little better. It's the Mormon conservative version of Chicago or New York. But they let this infiltration happen and now you have, what is it, transgender queer armed Marxist resistance groups in Utah that may have it looks like coordinated on the death of our great Charlie Kirk. So, yeah, it all leads to bad stuff.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Steve. Yeah, Wayne. Hang on. I'm holding through the break. Wayne Allen Root is with us on a Friday morning.

Would you guys consider anything less than a championship to be a failure from this year? I wouldn't say anything is a failure, especially because we all grow every day.

[Steve Bannon]

Obviously the goal is a championship.

[Wayne Allen Root]

There's no doubt in that. And that's the goal.

[Christina Williams]

We want to win a championship. I'm Christina Williams, host of the podcast in case you're you missed it with Christina Williams. The WNBA playoffs are here and I've got the inside scoop on everything from key matchups and standout players to the behind the scenes moments you won't find anywhere else.

[Steve Bannon]

It's really, really hard to be the champions, but we have to remember how.

[Emily Maitlis]

It feels and embrace the new challenge.

[Christina Williams]

That we have for all the biggest stories in women's basketball, plus exclusive interviews with the game's brightest stars.

[Wayne Allen Root]

So to be here, I think it's one that we definitely don't take for granted. But we also know, you know, that's just one stop along the way and.

[Christina Williams]

We'Re hoping to, you know, make a so listen to in case you missed it, with Christina Williams and iHeart women's sports production in partnership with Deep Blue Sports and entertainment on iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. Okay, welcome back. I want to do this is why I tell you guys to go to Getter, where I put all my stuff up. Because I love Getter, because I know how to use it. It's so simple. And it'll be simple for you too. So there's a story yesterday, it was up on pbs, but it was just a link to an Associated Press story. The story was about they had. And it's more the conflicting things like I don't believe the narrative we've been told at all. I don't believe the text message. I just don't believe it. But it talked about now instead of the guy being suicidal, the shooter was afraid the cops are going to kill him. Remember, first they tell us he's suicidal or he told his dad, I'll never turn myself in, I'll kill myself first. Now the Associated Press is reporting that he was really, he was feared being shot by the cops and that's why he turned himself in. He didn't want an FBI raid or a police raid on his parents house or his apartment because he was afraid they would take no prisoners. Now that's not what I highlighted. The buried lead in this they talk about halfway through the story that Utah Valley University had their first day of school, I guess yesterday they took the week off and let the university get more organized about this. And so they came back yesterday. And so when they cut to the story in the middle of it and talked about the kids coming back the first day, they had what we call, as we teach you here, the buried lead. And the buried lead is really, I think the takeaway from the story. And they're talking about kids coming back the first day. And I'm quoting from the story at Utah Valley University, quote, care stations offering stuffed animals, candy and connections to counseling dotted the campus, end quote. And I said this is the type of infantilism that destroyed the shooter, his furry boyfriend as men and led to Charlie's murder. So Wayne Allen root, before I let you go, they come back to campus and they have, they're given grown men and women because hey, I realize they're 18 and 19 years old, but you're a man or a woman by then. This nation in the west, out west were built by 18 and 19 year olds. You think the women that had kids back in those days, the average age I think of the armed forces was like 22 years old. You look at those kids that hit the beach in Saipan and Tarawa and Peleliu and normandy. You're talking 17, 18, 19 year old kids. You have grown ass men and you're giving a stuffed animal to. It's the system that's destroying them. It's the system that's destroying them. Anybody at that University that came up with that idea to give them stuffed animals and candy should be fired immediately. This is what we have to hit the blowtorch on. This is destroying our nation, A nation built by 17 and 18 year olds that sacrificed in all of our wars. Not just that, in the development of this country. This is an outrage that this is what is destroying the country. And whoever did it at Utah Valley University, understand when Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood. It's that mentality that got us there. Wayne Allen Root.

[Wayne Allen Root]

Well, and how about the opening salvo of that very story that you just reported? Just how about the fact that a guy is willing to murder Charlie Kirk? A wonderful, wonderful human being, a patriot and a man of faith in God and a great Christian and a father, two beautiful little children, a husband. He's willing to destroy his life and blow out his carotid artery, let him bleed to death in front of us. But he contacts the police to say, I'll turn myself in if you don't hurt me. I want it to be peaceful. Maybe he should have thought about Charlie being peaceful before he destroyed his life and his children's life where they'll never see him again. And it extends, Steve, beyond the college campus to the rest of these liberals lousy lives. Because look at Hollywood today. Nobody shed a tear for Charlie Kirk dying that day. No one shed a tear for his life being blown away. They cheered it, but now they're hysterical over Jimmy Kimmel being suspended. If they had 1/8 the heart for Charlie Kirk as they had for Jimmy Kimmel, everything in America would be okay in American politics. But this says it all. That dichotomy explains it all. They hate you. They want to see us dead. They hate capitalism. They want to see us enslaved. They want to silence you. They want to destroy your life. But they. If one person loses their job on tv, Republicans are bad. The Orange man is the fascist. He's the dictator. This is a absurd. Jimmy Kimmel was destroyed by capitalism. No one wants to watch his show anymore. His ratings are in the garbage pail because he turned off 60% of his audience. That's who used to watch Jay Leno and Johnny Carson. Conservative men and women. At least 60% of the audience, they're gone. Late night is dying. That's capitalism. ABC wanted to get rid of Jimmy. His contract was up. They were looking for an excuse. This was the excuse had nothing to do with bad man orange, Donald J. Trump or Charlie Kirk. But it did have to do with saying something terrible and thoughtless about Charlie Kirk.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

Yeah, the affiliates got rid of him. Wayne Allen, root your coordinates. Where do we get the show? Where do we get the podcast? Where do we get your social media, Sir?

[Wayne Allen Root]

Root for America.com like tree root. Root for America.com it's what I do all day, Steve. I root for this country 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All my shows, TV, radio, podcast and of course my most important show follows your war room. Saturday mornings right here on RAV, Real America's Voice every Saturday, noon Eastern, 9am Pacific. America's Top 10 Countdown with yours truly, Wayne Ally Root. Root for America.com God bless you Steve, for all you do. We need you badly.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

It's, it's a, it's a, it's a great way to catch up. Noon to one every week, every Saturday on Real America's Voice. Wayne, thank you so much. Appreciate you.

[Wayne Allen Root]

God bless.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

We were supposed to make announcements today. Let's say this, we're going to be doing wall to wall coverage of the celebration of life of Charlie Kirk. And I think we'll have two aspects of it. It will be a big and celebratory religious service. There will also be a part after that's a celebration of light with many people that knew Charlie Kirk, including the President of the United States, I think also the Vice President and many members of the cabinet, et cetera. So we're going to give details, hopefully have the if not to run a show, at least have the breakdown. But just assume that we intend right now, if we can pull it off, to start broadcasting at 10am on Saturday, Sunday, 10am Eastern Daylight Time, 10am Eastern Daylight Time. So Eastern Time on Sunday be 7 o' clock at the venue, the Real America's Voice team, Parker Sig, our man in charge and of course Harry and the entire team. We're taking over one of the spaces there and building it out to make sure that we have a studio and we're going to have everybody, I'll be tomorrow and Saturday talking about the entire team, the entire rural America's Voice team. Those that can't get out there, we're going to dial them in on Zoom and make sure they're part of it. So it's going to be a date and I think we're going to go all the way through. Right now Studio 6B is going to also have a wrap up broadcast. We'll get all the times for you. Make sure on Sunday a very, very, very special event of the celebration of life of Charlie Kirk. And we're just honored that the turning point. People gave us access to make sure that we can do this. It's kind of a whole of network approach to this. I'll be anchoring, but we're going to have everybody out there as co hosts, co anchors. So we're really looking forward to it. More details this afternoon and more details following that. Also, things are happening, I can tell you that, to get to the bottom of the deconstruction of the administrative state, the destruction of the deep state. And part of this investigation is going to be that. And you saw this. I want to make sure everybody reads the Ken Klippenstein piece. We're going to try to get Ken on, if not this afternoon, then tomorrow, to talk about this. And that is this designation of these transgender groups to narcissistic or nihilistic, violent extremists. I think that's a story right there. Very, very important. It's already started over the FBI, they're being investigated right now. You got to get to the bottom of this entire thing. I'm glad Comer's doing these hearings next week, but you must get to the bottom of what's going on here. And right now, I do not believe the official narrative, but I'm open to believe this, but we just need to see videos and things beyond the text messages, which I just. And I don't know how you unwind the text messages. I just don't believe that a guy with this little education and being a gamer was as articulate, would write in perfect paragraphs with ellipses, as I often do, and, you know, in whole paragraphs and had things like, you know, you can't negotiate with evil things like this, and wrote a Shakespeare sonnet to the. To, I don't know, the gay boyfriend who thinks he's a girl, but also he thinks he's a furry. And then on top of this, we got released that the shooter, the alleged shooter, believes he was into furry porn. This stuff is so dark, you don't even know how to get your head around it. It's so dark and so twisted and so weird. And you know where it comes from? The same people at that university that are into infantilism of these, they're grown men. Look, are they 25 years old or 30 years old? No. And I realize childhood's extended, but, man, when you're 18 years old, you know, you were hitting the beach in Okinawa, you were at Saipan, you were at Pearl Harbor. You're building the American West. You're enough as you're a grown Ass man. That you don't need a stuffed animal, you don't need a stuffed toy. Women too. And women, hey, if you look at the pioneers and out west, you can't even believe. You sit there and go, how did women have the babies with nothing you have every day? You have to create warmth, a home, food, meals, all of it. It's just the women, what the women in our country have done. And hey, a lot of these kids at the time were 16, 17 and 18 years old going throughout the American West. Look at that story. Look at the story of the pioneers and the settlers and out west, the whole thing, from Mayflower all the way. It is a breathtaking human achievement unparalleled in what was developed from it with the hero and bravery. And now you're giving people that same age a stuffed toy and some candy. Yes, they have to work through the grief, they have to work through the understanding, they have to work through the shock. It's all that. But that's part of becoming an adult. That's a process to work through it, to work through it. And you're going to give them a stuffed toy. They ain't working through it. That's sending them back, that is sending them back to the, to the cradle. That's sending them back to the bassinet. They don't need a stuffed toy. What they need is the ability to stand on their own two feet and deal with it and work through it themselves. Also, I might add, I haven't had a chance to this, I'll do it later. I saw this artificial intelligence, these artificial intelligence things, like bringing Charlie back in his words with this. And it was a couple of big evangelical churches. Charlie Kirk was a man in a place and time in the United States of America in the 21st century. And what he did is incalculable for changing the direction of this country. And in that, Charlie Kirk communicated that's the reason he did it. And he was open, he was humble. It's one of the reasons he changed so many minds and brought so many young people in, in that formation stage and say, hey, listen to this. If you go and use a computer and that's what you're using in an algorithm to go pick words and let people think that that is Charlie from beyond the grave. No, you are summoning the demon. You are summoning the demon. And preachers that did that do not understand what artificial intelligence is and what human intelligence and human spirit in the soul of Charlie Kirk. I would argue that Charlie Kirk is a modern day Christian Saint Flat out. Right? Flat out. I think you make the argument very compelling. Not just American hero and patriot, but a modern day Christian saint and a martyr to his faith. But please, please, please, please, please do not. Don't smear his legacy. Don't smear his what Charlie Kirk was and what he stood for and what he gave his life for bravely by doing an artificial intelligence against Charlie from beyond the grave. Talking to you. No sir, no sir. No sir. No sir. Charlie Kirk does not need that. The memory of Charlie Kirk does not need that. Charlie Kirk can live forever in our hearts and can live forever in the history of this country if we finish what he started. Short Break.

Here'S your host, Stephen K. Ban. Oh hey. I guess I didn't get my lead in. Just jumped up on us. Mike Lindell is going to join us here in a moment. Want to thank by the way, we started the show with Brian Harrison and I want to thank this big fight we're having down in Texas and it's going to get even gnarlier because now you got to get into the institutions that are not being, not being solved. The Patriot Mobile, the folks down there, Glenn Story and the team, they do so much on the political side and they give so much of their profits to organizations that you guys support, right? Your value support. So stop giving your money to people hate you. You know, that whole pitch. But the one thing maybe you don't know is what a great service it actually is. Call their customer service day 972 Patriot. That's 972 Patriot. Tell them Steve Bannon sent you get a first month free if you do the switch today. So check it out. Best phone service around by the best people. And when you call 972 Patriot. You're going to be talking to a citizen of these United States, Mike Lindell. Thank you for joining us, sir.

[Mike Lindell]

[Stephen K. Bannon]

[Wayne Allen Root]

Hang on.

[Stephen K. Bannon]

If you know Mike Lindell, one thing he whines about all the time is when he goes towels. He's very focused on towels. Like President Trump's very focused on lighting. Mike Lindell's very focused on towels. What is your beef about? Just a basic standard towel.

[Mike Lindell]

Well, here's the towels, everybody. When I grew up, towels dried you. They felt soft and they dried you. And I'm going and towels, all of a sudden they changed. And I noticed a change where they. You'd feel and they feel like Almost like lotiony and the water would just bead, they wouldn't absorb. Well, I found out why it was Steve. In 2006, our government, they were deals called GATT. They made deals with these other countries like Pakistan, India, China. They imported all the towels with no duties or anything on them. So it became a free for all in the market. And they started adding stuff like fabric softeners, lotions and stuff to the towels. So when you felt them in the box stores, oh, they feel all good. But you got them home and they didn't work. So a few years ago when I came out with towels that actually worked, we went back to the basics. I met with many different towel manufacturers and these guys actually have a patent on them where they actually work. And so it's towels that towels that do what they're supposed to do. So that's really. Every one of my products has a story behind it like that. And Wataus became one of our biggest product. As everybody knows though we were out of them for the last about three months. So now we've got them on sale. They're back in stock normally 69.98, 39.98 with that promo code war room.
