We've come to the time in the season when family and friends gather near to offer a prayer of thanksgiving for blessings we've known through the years.
you To join hands and thank the Creator now when thanksgiving is dear.
This year, when I count my blessings, I'm thanking the Lord He made you.
Okay, welcome back.
steve bannon
We're in The Worm.
It's 24 November, the year of our Lord 2021.
We're kicking off our Thanksgiving coverage, our Thanksgiving special tomorrow morning.
We're going to have Bo Snurdley, James Golden, Rush Limbaugh's sidekick for 30 years, also Dr.
Carol Swain.
We're going to talk about the traditions of Thanksgiving, and we're also going to have the combat historian Patrick K. O'Donnell, which we have him to talk about the proclamation, really, of President Lincoln that kicked off, really started the tradition we have today of the Fourth Thursday in every November.
With the proclamation of 1863, Roger Kimball, one of the great editor of New Criterion, to talk about Thanksgiving in the modern age, the left's kind of assault on Thanksgiving.
So, a lot to do tomorrow.
You're going to really want to see.
We pride ourselves on putting together these specials.
That's the voice of Johnny Cash, the Thanksgiving song.
Which I think is one of the unheralded gems of Johnny Cash, which has so many amazing, such amazing music from the American Songbook.
One of the things about a nation that has gratitude is that, particularly in the time that we're living, right?
This is a fourth turning in this country, just as tumultuous as the Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War II.
We're either going to be one thing on the other side of this, either the Constitutional Republic that was bequeathed to us with, what, 13 or 14 generations of sacrifice to get us here, or we're going to be something totally different, radically different.
And we don't know what the outcome of that's going to be.
It's all to be determined.
Right?
All to be determined.
And what's going to determine that is human agency and human action.
Remember, divine providence works through human instruments.
Right?
And that's what this show's about.
That's what our effort here is about.
It's about action, action, action, and human agency.
What we do is try to provide you information, access to people, access to ideas, access to concepts, whether it's books, websites, individuals, interviews, etc.
And we ask you to do your own work.
And then to volunteer, whether it's a precinct committeeman, to go to precinctstrategy.com to do that, or whether it's to go to a school board.
And let your voice be heard and join one of these groups that's trying to contest this cultural Marxism, this poison that's trying to be put into our system.
Or it's become an election official, right?
Or to get ready to serve in Trump's next term, right?
As the 4,000 people, political appointees for the Trump administration that we never filled out in the first term, we have to do it this time.
Of course, The left isn't.
This week's The Week magazine has a huge story.
I think it's not the cover story, but I think it's on the cover.
Steve Bannon's radical vision.
That radical vision is basically go to a school board, let your voice be heard, sign up to be a precinct committeeman, go be an election official, or get ready and learn your job to serve in another Trump administration.
That's radicalism.
No, that's democracy.
On MSNBC and CNN every night, it's about, you know, January 6th and insurrectionists, but what they are afraid of is small d democracy.
They're most concerned about an engaged citizenry actually becoming engaged.
And this Thanksgiving, to me, everyone should give praise and thanks that you live in times like these.
That you live in times like these.
That you, of the 114 billion people that have I think a scientist did an analysis one time that calculated that 114 billion people had lived on Earth, that you live in this time.
You live in this time because this time is just as important as the Revolution or the Civil War or the Great Depression or World War II.
And it's time to stand up and use your agency.
I want to go back to Joe Reek.
Joe, about information.
And this is why I keep holding up the Financial Times, because they made such a big deal about this, about to get gas prices.
It's these oil companies.
Look, I'm no fan of the oil companies, but there's all these greedy oil companies.
And what we've got to do is take the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and we've got to beg China, China and Japan, if they all put theirs out, we're going to solve it.
His Secretary of Energy didn't even know.
A reporter asked, hey, tell me, how many barrels a day do you use?
She didn't have a clue, which tells you how serious they are, how lack of serious.
He puts out 50 million barrels and the Financial Times says, has not only no impact, prices go up.
Right?
They're just being spun.
You're being spun every day.
So, Joe, what are people to do?
How are they going to get information?
How can people, how can citizens out there get access to information and make their own decisions about this?
unidentified
Well, I love what you said earlier, Steve, about being in the time that we are, but also doing the, you know, being thankful for where we're at right now.
We're at Thanksgiving.
You're going to be having your family, your close friends coming over to your homes.
Now is the time to talk about it.
Discuss it with your family.
Come up with a plan.
Because I'll tell you what, Steve, nobody's going to care more about your survival than yourself.
And if you don't have a plan, if you don't have these, if you don't do your own research, you're going to be left in the cold.
Do your research now.
Find out, you know, what to do in an emergency.
Talk about it with your family.
Come up with a plan.
You know, you talked about, you know, finding out what to do.
Now's the perfect time to do it.
Those that are, those that know what's happening or what's going to be happening, those guys are prepared.
You know, now's the time to do it if you're not prepared.
steve bannon
Listen, this is what I love.
We have the guys at Birch Gold come on here.
They open themselves up.
All of our sponsors come and open themselves up to the audience.
Getting in touch with them.
How do people get in touch with you guys at MyPatriotSupply and how do they get more access to information?
This is what I want you guys to take away from this.
It's incumbent upon you to take personal action to start to think through all possibilities.
Right?
You just have to think it through.
You've got to be prepared, like the Boy Scouts.
Just be prepared.
You have to be prepared.
And that means it's incumbent upon you, your action, to do this.
So Joe, how do they get access to you guys?
unidentified

Steve, we appreciate you guys.
We appreciate the War Room.
Hope you guys have a blessed Thanksgiving and enjoy this time with you and your family.
steve bannon
Thanks, brother.
Appreciate it.
This is about human agency.
One of the things I'm most excited about this show is how it's become a platform For people to get engaged.
Of all walks of life, people have never thought in a million years they'd run for office.
People never thought that they would become a precinct committeeman.
Nobody thought they would go to be an election official.
We've got two now from the great state of Texas that I want to give some air to.
Greg Cooper.
Greg, you're a former Marine, can you walk through your service?
unidentified
I joined the Marine Corps out of high school during Gulf War I in the 1990s.
And then I went into law enforcement at the end of Gulf War One, once that ended.
And then after 9-11, I decided to go back in the military.
I went in the Army, wanted to be a medic, and ended up serving with 2nd Battalion, 7th and 5th Ranger Regiment as a Special Operations Combat Medic.
And I did eight deployments for my country.
steve bannon
And you retired at what rank?
unidentified
Did you retire, Greg?
An E-6 Medic out of the Ranger Battalion.
steve bannon
Okay, so Sergeant Cooper, talk to us about, it's social-emotional learning.
We've been doing Loudoun County, we've been doing Virginia, all the intensity here, Arizona, and it's all been critical race theory, but there's something actually, the mobs are saying, hey, hey, hey, just don't focus on critical race theory.
There's something actually more insidious than that.
You've put your finger on it.
Walk us through social-emotional learning.
What's the problem with it?
And what are you doing about it?
And why have you become so controversial about it?
unidentified
Social emotional learning began and evolved from what was called the whole child concept in the late 60s.
It was designed to dive into different ways to teach children and tap into different emotions and stuff like that.
It began fairly benign, but like most things, the wrong individuals get their hands into it and it becomes toxic and it's corrupted.
So 1994, an organization called Castle began to consolidate This whole child concept, and they developed social emotional learning, and that was 1994.
And they began to really refine this.
2004, the first state implemented some standards for this.
2009, the first federal act and federal guidelines came into play.
And 2016, and this was key for transitioning from critical race theory to social emotional learning.
So 2016, Statewide implementation began to become the new hotness.
So now we have statewide implementation with this social emotional learning.
However, at that point, it wasn't.
steve bannon
So hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
So look at the whole child.
What's your beef?
It sounds like we're trying to help kids.
You know, you got to help with their emotions.
You got to help them socially.
Why is this a problem?
Tell me why it's a problem.
unidentified
Great question, Steve.
Problem is, is that in 2020, it has transformed, and they changed the definition of this.
And this is the key to the fight.
The argument is not with social-emotional learning, when it was in its infancy, and how it developed.
The problem is how it has been corrupted.
So the question is, how has it been corrupted?
Well, critical race theory has become so toxic, and it's so broad, that you can't discuss that anymore.
And you can't get anybody to put your finger on it.
You can't identify it.
So we need to attack social emotional learning.
So how does it get into the schools?
Well, the American Rescue Plan.
The American Rescue Plan offered substantial amounts of funding to public schools to make up for what they were calling learning loss.
Learning loss was the deficits created from sending children home to do homeschooling and Learning online instead of in person.
This was a noble cause.
Here again, federal government involved, poor ideology, it gets corrupted.
So the American Rescue Plan offered what was called the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Grant, or ESSER.
We're going to focus on the ESSER III funding grant today.
So the ESSER III funding was a specific part of the American Rescue Plan that went to identify learning loss.
But it mandated, if a school took this money, that 20% of it had to be used for social, emotional learning.
And it had to be approved curriculum.
So, the approved curriculum that American Rescue Plan, through the ESSER III funding, is driving, is the vehicle for the ideology.
If that makes sense.
steve bannon
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, but how's the parents out there?
Because now people are focused on social-emotional learning.
Tell me how they stop this.
What's the actions to actually stop it?
unidentified
The biggest problem is access to the curriculum.
The hardest part of the school is getting pushback on accessing this curriculum.
You need to get in person.
The school systems are relying on the Curriculum providers and vendors copyright licenses to prevent parents like me from accessing this information.
So we have had three meetings with our school district so far.
The first one was with the principal and the principal would only click on various things through one portion of a lesson and provide a little bit of paperwork.
Then we moved on to what is called the Learning Design and Curation Coordinator.
who allowed a little bit more access and provided some binders.
We were demanding the online digital curriculum because that's where the corruptible stuff is.
The third meeting, we finally got access to that when we met with the social-emotional learning coordinator.
Once we had access to that, we see videos.
steve bannon
Hey, Sergeant Cooper, hang on for one second.
We're going to take a short commercial break here.
Danielle Weston will also join us.
We got Darren Beattie on the other side.
Short commercial break, kicking off our holiday weekend, the long weekend coverage.
We'll be back in a moment.
johnny cash
This year when I count my blessings, I'm thanking the Lord who made you.
This year when I count my blessings, I'm thanking the Lord He made you.
I'm grateful for the laughter.
We've come to the time in the season.
Well, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it.
Okay.
steve bannon
That is the great Johnny Cash, the Thanksgiving song.
We kick off our coverage here.
I want to go back to Gray Cooper.
We're a little pressed for time.
We'll have you back on to go in more depth.
But the social-emotional learning obviously is a big deal.
Precisely, what are you guys trying to accomplish down in Texas at this school board?
The parents are there.
You're obviously engaged.
You found out kind of the lies and misrepresentations, but what actions are you taking and what do you hope to accomplish?
unidentified
Bottom line is the American Rescue Plan and this ESSER III funding grants have required that they do certain things.
So now the district is on a tactical pause seeking legal guidance.
We are trying to stand up a parental committee.
That will work with the district to deep dive any potential vendor.
steve bannon
Are they, are they taking, are they taking a pause for tactical tactical pause for legal because they got Sergeant Greg Cooper in their grill?
Are they trying to actually get a solution about how they've taken this money and unwind it?
Are they, they're saying, Hey, we need a tactical pause because Cooper and his, his compadres are all over us.
What, what, what is it?
unidentified
Oh, you nailed it.
The bottom line is, they are so busy and tasked that when a parent dives into this, they are not the smartest person in the room.
So we had to define, was it willful incompetence, or was it willful deception, or was it gross incompetence?
And we're beginning to think it's gross incompetence.
So we need to educate them.
They gloss over what this curriculum is.
steve bannon
But hang on, hang on.
Here's where I think it's important.
We'll have you back on.
You need to help.
Enlighten and school up all the parents across the country.
That's why we're now pivoting to social-emotional learning.
How do they get to your fight?
You're emblematic of thousands of fights that are going to take place in this country, okay?
That's where we had you on.
You're emblematic.
Engage parents that start asking questions, they get double-talk, right?
And they go, you know, we took this money, this grant, this thing.
They're going to throw the whole administrative state at you, all bureaucracy, to try to wear you down and just get tired because you've got jobs, you've got kids to raise, all that.
It's the relentless that are going to win this.
They're taking a tactical pause because they're trying to figure out what to do with Greg Cooper and his bad hombres.
Tell people how they follow your fight.
What's your social media?
How did it get to you on Facebook or wherever?
Walk us through that.
unidentified
Initially, we were having problems on social media, so we developed what's called Godly Patriots.
And we're dumping information in there, allowing people to go there and research it.
That's where we're dumping it now.
And then once we're through this with our school district, behind the scenes, we're developing a step-by-step process for how other parents can attack their district surgically in this fight.
steve bannon
Perfect.
You're a good man.
OK.
Godly Patriots is a website.
Godly Patriots, one word.
unidentified
It's a Facebook group right now.
We're transitioning it to something a little bit more On Facebook, it's Godly Patriots.
steve bannon
If you can get that to our team, I want to put it up on all our platforms.
Cooper, you're a good man.
We're going to have you back on.
Keep fighting.
unidentified
Thank you to the mothers.
Fathers, get in the fight.
steve bannon
A tactical pause.
They had a school board meeting.
Cooper's here again with his people.
unidentified
Let's have a tactical pause here so we can call the lawyers.
steve bannon
Somebody there trying to take a tactical pause.
They're all out.
Danielle Weston.
Saw her in the John Fredericks, outside the Beltway, in the exclusive interview that day.
It was incredible.
John Fredericks, our guy, was all over the story.
Why are they hating on you down in Texas?
Why are these school boards and school districts hating on you?
unidentified
Well, I tell you what, they're hating on me because I am representing parents.
It's very nice to meet you, Steve, and happy Thanksgiving to you and to all of your viewers.
I'm talking to you from Round Rock, Texas, just north of Austin.
Round Rock ISD is an enormous suburban school district here with 47,000 students.
I'm an Air Force veteran.
My husband and I have a blended family of five children.
And this school board is out of control and they are coming after me because back in September, they would not let parents into a school board meeting.
I was elected about a year ago on a platform of really being here to represent parents and advocate for parental rights and prioritizing the educational needs of children.
And in September, we had parents who wanted to attend our board meeting and they only let in 18 people.
So I interrupted the meeting and I said, you need to let these people in.
This is ridiculous.
And the reward for that from my colleagues, and then I actually walked out of that board meeting very peacefully, but the reward for standing up for parents as a school board member in a public meeting was that they want to censure me.
And so I've had to hire a lawyer at great expense to myself and my family.
This has been very financially punitive, Steve.
I would invite your viewers to look at my website, Westin4RoundRock, that's Westin, F-O-R, RoundRock.com and help me fight because these other trustees are standing on a mountain of tax dollars that they are using instead of educating our kids, addressing the historic learning loss from having our schools closed last year, addressing the needs of teachers to refocus and get their kids back up to speed.
They're going after me personally.
steve bannon
They want to destroy me.
But what is the specific thing?
You're a school board member.
What specifically triggered them to come after you legally?
unidentified
Well, everything became adversarial, I would say, in April, when I and the other conservative school board member, Mary Bone, stopped wearing masks in our school board meetings and stopped wearing masks everywhere.
And then the school board just started voting over and over and over for this mask And we just refused to comply.
And then we had conflict in deciding who the superintendent was going to be.
So, you know, Mary and I were on the losing end of that.
But Steve, for these people, winning on all these consequential votes is not enough.
They've got to go after me personally.
I will tell you that I'm in possession of emails that started in July and before the controversial September 14th meeting where they were already plotting to censure me.
They are very concerned that they are all up for re-election next year and Mary Bone and I are not.
And so they're very concerned that a lot of community members are getting very engaged and paying attention and organizing and talking to each other.
And a lot of eyeballs are looking at the November 2022 school board elections here in Round Rock ISD next year.
And they're concerned that this thing is about to flip.
And the only way to prevent it is to get my scalp and to get Mary Bone's scalp.
And so in my view, They are using the tax dollars, the mountain of tax dollars that they stand on, to go after us.
They want to censure us.
They want a scarlet letter on us.
They want to marginalize us.
steve bannon
So I know you're a fighter, so how can people... By the way, real quickly, I thought Abbott and Paxson, the Attorney General, had this whole thing sorted out in Texas.
You're telling me that's not the case?
unidentified
Well, there have been all kinds of lawsuits going back and forth.
Ken Paxton, our Attorney General, actually sued Round Rock ISD as one of the school districts for continuing this mask mandate.
But there have been some recent decisions, including from a federal judge, that makes, I think, school districts like mine feel empowered, as long as they have the support of the majority of the board, to continue with the forced masking of children as a condition of receiving a public education.
But that the situation is in flux because of a recent federal court case.
But folks can find out more.
And again, if you go to westinforroundrock.com, financial help is needed, Steve.
I'm not going to lie.
My family, you know, my husband and I, we were both Air Force officers.
We have a large family.
We were not prepared for the punishing financial pain that is being inflicted on us.
So I would really ask your viewers, you know, if you if you really care about the fact that school boards are the front lines, In a battle today.
And last year, I stood up and I ran.
I stepped forward.
I said, send me.
I will serve.
And I am serving on the school board.
I'm doing exactly what I said I was going to do when I campaigned.
Parental rights, the rule of law, and open government.
steve bannon
We will figure this out.
We'll talk to you after the show.
We'll get this sorted.
Okay.
Weston and Bone down in Texas, north of Austin.
One more time.
How do people get to you?
What's your website?
What's your social media?
unidentified
It's Weston4RoundRock.
That's Weston4RoundRock.com.
And on my website, the Donate tab, you can also link to my colleague, Trustee Mary Bones, to donate to her as well, because we're in this together.
So we filed a lawsuit.
What I didn't get to is we filed a lawsuit against these people, Steve.
And I'll tell you the one thing they didn't see coming.
They didn't see us securing a temporary restraining order against them to prevent them from voting to censure us.
But now we're playing all these games in the courts where they're filing all these motions to delay this thing.
This just racks up the legal bills.
It's very painful.
steve bannon
They're going to try it.
OK, thank you so much for coming on.
We're going to figure out how to have your back.
This is a nationwide crisis, a nationwide crisis at these schools and the posse is at the forefront of it.
So we've got to figure this out.
unidentified
I appreciate it.
Reinforcements are needed, Steve.
steve bannon
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you so much for coming on.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Let's bring in, I got Darren Beattie.
Beattie, you're seeing it right there, dude.
I mean, you've warned about this from the beginning.
This is where they're trying to crush.
Those people out there at the forefront of taking this on is the ones they're trying to destroy.
And they're going to use every means necessary to other you.
Darren Beattie, you had kind of your article up in TheRevolver.News talked about this.
Tell us about it.
darren j beattie
Well, it's made a really big splash and it's really in many ways the sequel to a previous piece that was a huge hit, albeit extremely dark.
And that was a piece that explored the parallels between the Bolshevik revolutionary period and the period that we're in now.
This piece, which is a successor piece to that in many ways, explores the parallels between the American deplorables And the class known as the Kulak class in Bolshevik Russia.
And so it's an interesting history lesson, but it's also a very dangerous lesson about our present and about our future in this country.
steve bannon
Talk to us.
We've got about 30 seconds to hold you over through the break.
Give us the headline.
You're going to give us the payoff of the break.
What's the headline?
darren j beattie
Well, the headline is, are you ready to be an American kulak?
Because that's essentially what the deplorables are.
The principal kulak class, the enemy class of the regime, middle class, working class whites, but not only whites, it's expanded just as the definition of kulak has expanded.
It's become a catch-all.
Expanding phrase for the enemy of the regime on whom everything is blamed, the only acceptable villain class, and it encompasses everything you see from the pushback against the CRT movements, everything else.
steve bannon
Yep, just take a short commercial break on the kickoff to Thanksgiving.
Darren Beattie, publisher of revolver.news, going to join us next.
johnny cash
We've come to the time in the season when family and friends gathered near.
steve bannon
Talk about a world turned upside down.
I'm just informed by our Evercrack production staff that in the live chat they're referring to Darren Beatty as hot.
Somebody's into the Thanksgiving grog a little early in the morning.
Darren Beattie.
So Darren, I want to frame this and it's up on Revolver.
It was the lead story.
Are you ready to be an American kulak?
I need everybody.
We got to push this out.
Everybody's got to read and think about it.
Here's why.
In the Bolshevik Revolution, there were very few Bolsheviks.
In the Cultural Revolution, there weren't a lot of communists.
But what they focused on, and they go to the village, because they understand in the villages and the towns, there is a social order, there's a natural social order, and kind of the head peasant, because they're the most organized, and they're out there, and they underpin civic society.
To take over the society and to crush the society, you must break the family.
The way you do that is you've got to start, you've got to take out the kulaks.
That's the head peasants.
Right?
Right.
That is where we are today in America.
That is why I led this segment with having Daniel Weston from Texas, north of Austin, Sergeant Cooper.
These are parents now who are either on school boards or going to school boards and saying, what are we doing?
And all of a sudden, they're attacked.
They're domestic terrorists.
Darren Beattie, walk us through this.
darren j beattie
That's a perfect example.
And yes, as kind of It's a theoretical matter.
The Kulaks were the peasants who were hated by the other peasants because traditionally the Kulaks engaged in money lending and other practices that peasants didn't really like.
But over time, in the Soviet context, in the Bolshevik context, the Kulaks simply became an ever-expanding catch-all term for enemies of the regime.
Whenever anything went wrong, it was always because of the Kulaks.
It was always because of the wreckers.
Mistakes never resulted in an honest, critical self-reflection by the regime as to how we improved it.
All the mistakes did, all the failures did of the Soviet programs, was led the regime to persecute the kulaks ever more vigorously.
And you see the parallel here in the globalist American empire today, where the gulag class is now transmuted into what we broadly call the deplorables.
And you see it at every second.
The deplorables are the only acceptable villain class in the United States.
And everything that goes wrong has to come back to, oh, somehow the deplorables did it.
Another excellent recent example, other than your guests just now, is the truckers.
We just heard from the truckers that they're simply not interested in abiding by the unvaccinated, the unvaccinated truckers, the unvaccinated truckers.
steve bannon
They're the problems of the legit Pete Buttigieg.
What it leads to also is the struggle sessions.
We talk about the struggle session.
You have to humiliate these people.
They have to be othered and they have to be humiliated.
They have to go through struggle sessions.
The unvaccinated, the people standing up at school boards.
This is why all the articles, the article this week, Bannon's radical vision.
The radical vision is get people engaged at the local level, but those are Kulaks.
It's going to be a problem.
darren j beattie
No, they think you're leading a Kulak revolt, Steve.
And that's essentially what you're doing.
But, but yes, the parallel is, is very striking and you see it in every element of how politics is playing out today in America. The only acceptable villain class is the white middle working class. And it's not just the race and those designators, it's also economic designators like small business owner, concerned parent, homeschooling parent. All of these things
are telltale signs of being a member of the hated gulag class that's reviled by the American regime and is now more than reviled, it's essentially been targeted by the regime as a domestic terrorist threat and enemy.

You've got, I want to also make sure people go, let's get them back up.
This is a follow on our sequel to the first piece.
Walk us through briefly, take a minute, walk us through the first piece, because I want to bundle them up and make sure people read both over this holiday weekend.
Because you need the, this is the framework.
You need to start thinking in framing, right?
You need to frame, right?
To get the nomenclature, understand the day-to-day of what's going on.
What's your first piece about this?
darren j beattie
The first piece just explored the parallels between art contemporary situation in the globalist American empire and the Bolshevik revolutionary situation.
And there are many, and those parallels map on specifically to this parallel of targeting this wrecker class, this wrecker kulak class, and the increasing brutality that comes from that.
And the fact that the state, the corrupt regime is not able to calibrate on the basis of its mistakes, but simply funnels those mistakes into an ever intensifying and more vigorous persecution of the enemy class, which in this case, in our case, is the deplorables.
And so, I encourage your readers, read the full piece, read the full Kulak piece, there's a ton of really interesting stuff.
Excerpts from Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who was one of the first people to really identify the significance of the Bolshevik war against the Kulak and the de-Kulakization process in Soviet times.
A lot of fascinating details in there for those who are interested in history.
But again, for those who are really interested in understanding on a deep level, the situation that we find ourselves today in the globalist American empire.
steve bannon
Okay, Darren Beatty, what's your social media, Darren?
How do people follow you?
darren j beattie
Social media is at Darren J. Beatty, D-A-R-R-E-N-J-B-E-A-T-T-I-E on Twitter, and as always, revolver.news for the latest and greatest and best stuff coming.
Kulak is right on the top, so read it, share it, and help people understand what situation we're actually dealing with.
steve bannon
I was talking to one of the smartest hedge fund guys in the country who happens to be European but lives here.
He has a place in the Hamptons.
A friend of his daughter came over.
She was the number one young woman in one of the most renowned prep schools in the country, in this nation.
She'd been accepted early admittance to Yale.
In the political science, you know, the go arts and science, but the focus on political science.
So this is a top 1% of 1%.
He's sitting there.
He's got Solzhenitsyn's, I think the Cancer Award of 1914, one of his profound works sitting there.
And she goes, Oh, this is interesting.
Who's he?
unidentified
No, no.
steve bannon
She had never heard of him.
This is a top prep school going to one of the top universities in our country had never heard the name.
Never heard it in our entire education.
Shows you where we are.
darren j beattie
Yes.
steve bannon
BD, thank you very much.

The one that the rest of the guys at Fox are losing it over.
It's an amazing piece of work, and Darren's one of the big stars of that.
Okay.

So go there today.
Want to bring it I've got this thing's extraordinary and it's so extraordinary Because what we're trying to do is give you intellectual framing devices or hooks And to make all the madness that hits you every day.
You got to have a way to frame it or to think about it and There's a book that's just out By the guys at javelin helped to put together the great guys over javelin helped to put together the deal jeff shepherd is the Is the author he was in the Nixon White House.
The reason this book is important today is to understand the whole Trump madness of all the investigations of the January 6th to do it.
You've got to go back in time and look at the historical now.
It's like the movie when they want to describe a war like Vietnam.
You have a movie like Breaker Morant that talks about.
The Boer War, and there you can see all the elements of Vietnam.
You can't really tell the story of a war, the deep story, unless you do it through another conflict.
That's what's happening here, is that you can understand kind of what's happening if you go back to the original.
And Jeff Shepards, the stunning part of his book, he was there.
The research of this is unbelievable.
Give us give us your theory of the case of Watergate, which you explode in this book and you do it by showing the receipts.
Walk us through your theory of the case.
geoff shepard
Well, sure.
Steve, thank you for having me on the show.
What really happened was that Nixon did resign.
He'd been reelected and he was forced out of office.
But it turns out he was forced out of office by a secret cabal of corrupt prosecutors.
Vindictive judges and a complacent media.
It was a takedown, which is just amazing.
And the wonderful thing about it today, 50 years later, is they left a paper trail.
And I've been very successful in uncovering these incredible memos From within the Watergate Special Prosecution Force.
And they're publicly available.
I mean, I found them.
I'm the first one to have analyzed them.
steve bannon
Okay, hang on, hang on.
I want to make sure, because we're going to have to have you on a couple of times.
I just want to make sure, because this is the kickoff to you coming on.
Give us the title of the book.
Nixon won his re-election with 61% of the vote.
Think about that today, Liza.
61%.
This was a historic landslide.
geoff shepard
In the end, he took every state, he took every state except Massachusetts in the district.
Never, never before or since.
steve bannon
And 61% in less than two years later, he's walking to the helicopter to leave.
Less than two years after that, correct?
geoff shepard
In complete disgrace.
I mean, a total wipeout.
24 members of his administration are convicted and imprisoned.
He is, he is not just wiped out.
He's wiped out so thoroughly that even today, 50 years later, Watergate is considered the gold standard of corruption.
And it turns out it was almost all fake.
I mean, there was a break-in.
They got caught.
There was a cover-up.
We know who did it.
But Nixon's opponents skillfully flipped it.
So they let the real, real advocates or the masterminds of the cover-up, they let them go free.
steve bannon
But hang on, I want to make sure people don't think you're a total nutcase, okay?
We're going to get to receipts in the next segment.
But they hold up Ackerman and John Dean every now and MSNBC.
The guys from Watergate are held up as the pantheon of law and order and good guys who help do this.
Tell me about John Dean.
We've got about a minute.
geoff shepard
Let's take a minute about John Dean.
He's a convicted felon.
He's sentenced to one to four years in federal prison for his work on the Watergate cover-up.
He's been disbarred for 40 years.
And he shows up on these shows and they say, oh, here's the counsel to the president.
But John Dean can't practice law.
He can't represent clients.
When he was disbarred, the Virginia Bar Association accused him of causing other people to lie to the grand jury, of destroying evidence, of embezzling campaign funds to pay for his honeymoon and of authorizing payoffs to the Watergate burglars.
I mean, the guy, the original prosecutors, Okay, we're going to take a short break.
We're going to return with Jeff Shepard, who's gotten to the bottom with the receipts of Watergate.
Stunning book, stunning theory of the case, stunning set of facts.
steve bannon
Okay, we're gonna take a short break. We're returning with Jeff Shepard who's getting to the bottom has gotten to the bottom with the receipts of Watergate Stunning book stunning theory the case stunning set of facts all next in the war This year when I count my blessings I'm thanking the Lord he made you Mmm.

By the way, I think there's like half a dozen, ten different forums, chat rooms, RealAmerica's Voice, warroom.org, over at Telegram, all over the place.
Join one that you feel comfortable with and let it rip.
We have people monitoring the entire time, so don't think your voices are not heard.
I'm getting fed information the entire time of how the show's going, what your reactions are to certain guests, and all your sidebar comments, which I love all you guys.
Okay, I've got Jeff Shepard.
This book's really incredible, The Nixon Conspiracy.
You're going down through the rabbit hole into the looking glass.
Jeff, how did you get all the documents that back this up?
That's the key, because you don't just start some theory like a lot of stuff in the Kennedy assassination.
You actually back it up with the receipts.
How did you go back and do this?
geoff shepard
That's correct.
Well, there's two points of entry.
One, the prosecutors developed this plan, this secret grouping of evidence to bring Nixon down, and it was called the Watergate Roadmap.
And they prepared it for the grand jury, and then they transmitted it to the House Judiciary Committee.
And since it was grand jury evidence, it stayed secret.
It was secret for 45 years, and I finally got it unsealed by court order in 2018.
So for the first time, me and Nixon's lawyers and other people could learn what the prosecutors accused Nixon of doing.
We couldn't refute it before we didn't know what it said.
The other grouping of documents, the four of the top prosecutors took their sensitive files with them when they left office.
And that was Archibald Cox, the first special prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, the second special prosecutor, James Vorenberg, who was Cox's top deputy, and a younger lawyer named Phil Lacovara.
Well, the first cache of documents surfaced at National Archives in 2013.
I was the first to see that.
Lacovara gave his documents back to the Archives in 2020.
And the Archie Cox documents and the James Vorenberg documents are at Harvard's Law Library.
And I was the first in every instance to review and analyze them.
And of course, They make more sense to me because I was on the other side during the Watergate scandal itself.
I was deputy counsel on Nixon's defense team.
So I know, I know where to look and what to ask for, but dozens and dozens of documents, they're cited in the book.
And if you go on my website, www.shepherdonwatergate.com, you can electronically link to all of those documents.
So I'm sharing my research with the world because it's the research.
It's the sensitive internal prosecutorial documents.
steve bannon
This is OK, but here's what I'll get.
You were a junior guy and I think you got up to the deputy on the policy, domestic policy council.
But why did the Republic, why did Nixon, who's a pretty savvy, tough guy, why didn't they fight back?
In a smart way, instead of the way they did fight back.
I mean, what's kind of amazing, given what you lay out here and how corrupt the prosecutors were and all this, why didn't any of the establishment, why didn't anybody have Nixon's back in actually putting forward a counter-argument to all this 50 years ago?
geoff shepard
Well, I think about that every day, Steve.
Nixon was not a popular man within his own party.
He didn't have coattail.
So when he got reelected, he didn't bring a lot of Republicans to the Congress with him.
He was caught, hugely surprised, by John Dean.
John Dean was his lawyer, except Dean was doing all these criminal activities to try to protect himself.
And Dean's flipped on him.
And then Elliot Richardson, who became Nixon's attorney general, Elliot chose not to fight.
And he allowed the creation of the Watergate Special Prosecution Force.
It was 100 people.
Imagine, I mean, 60 of them were lawyers, but 100 people, and they announced at their opening press conference they would investigate every single allegation made against Nixon from the time he took office.
Not just Watergate.
Everybody and everything.
It was a legal pogrom there before Nixon.
I mean, there was 100 years before the previous impeachment.
But but the under Bobby Kennedy, the Department of Justice has assembled a personally recruited group of lawyers to get Jimmy Hoffa.
It was in the organized crime section.
It was called the Get Hoffa Squad.
And what Archibald Cox did in the special prosecution force, he reassembled a get Nixon organization. That was their goal.
There's even a memo from the new special prosecutor who inherited Cox's staff who complained that there's this drumbeat that everybody who's here thinks they've got to get Nixon at all costs.
steve bannon
Okay, hang on.
We're going to obviously drill down.
It's on Amazon's The Nixon Conspiracy.
Give your website again real quickly so people can get to you.
geoff shepard
Sure.
www.shepherdonwatergate.com.
You gotta spell Shepard correctly, but you can see it on the screen.
steve bannon
We'll get all that, and we'll make sure it's in the chat rooms.
Incredible.
I gotta figure out how to do a special on this, because you can understand the statics, dynamics, and methodologies of all this if you understand Watergate.
geoff shepard
That's absolutely true.
This was the roadmap of how to take down a president.
steve bannon
Jeff Shepard, you're a patriot, brother.
We're going to figure this out.
Okay, back here at 5 o'clock, we're going to continue our Thanksgiving weekend shows.
It's going to be explosive this afternoon.
