Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot of all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | |
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

MAGA media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| You would think he would be careful about trying to demonize and target people, public figures, that you may disagree with. | ||
| Because when people hear that rhetoric, some people can say, he's right, they're the enemy, and they may do anything. | ||
| So not only do you have to fear government, you have to fear people that will take things into their own hands, including the people that tried to assassinate him. | ||
| It raises the likelihood of a dangerous environment, and we should not belittle that in any way on either side of these political debates. | ||
| Yeah, he's not looking to take down the temperature. | ||
| He's ramping it up. | ||
|

|
This is really straight out of Mein Kampf, the parts where Hitler is talking about American immigration and American restrictions on non-white immigration. | |
| And really, I think the philosophical question as a philosopher What I wonder and what I ask is, why aren't people more alarmed? | ||
| Why aren't people more alarmed by the rhetoric that we're seeing? | ||
| This would have been disqualifying in 2016. | ||
| And we've read this again and again about the history of fascism. | ||
| We read this from Victor Klemperer's work on the language of Nazism. | ||
| It becomes normalized. | ||
| You become inured to it. | ||
| And the function of this normalization is to normalize the practices. | ||
| Now the rhetoric has been normalized. | ||
| The next move, history tells us, is for this rhetoric to normalize the practices. | ||
| It's the Republicans, federal and state, who are already vowing to refuse to certify the November election unless Trump wins. | ||
| Add to that the threat that a Republican-controlled Senate would confirm 40-year-old right-wing replacements for Justices Alito and Thomas. | ||
| Meaning a far-right Supreme Court for the rest of our children's lives. | ||
| Plus a national abortion ban and Project 2025. | ||
| And you have the recipe for a fascist America, not just in 2025, but in 2055. | ||
| Most dangerous person ever. | ||
| I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he's a total fascist. | ||
| He's the most dangerous person in this country. | ||
| A fascist to the core, Milley repeated to me. | ||
| I will never forget the intensity of his worry. | ||
| Former top general is warning that on election day, 21 days from now, America could elect a fascist to be president. | ||
| And Mark Milley is right, because Donald Trump is running a straightforwardly fascist campaign at this point. | ||
| Not once, not twice, dozens of times that he will use the power of the government if elected again, including in recent days suggesting the military, to go after his political opponents. | ||
| This is as dangerous as it gets. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's not only said it, He has doubled down on it. | |
| And people that worked in his administration has talked about how he would operate in that manner. | ||
| We have to remember, people that were in his cabinet and that was in his circle are saying, don't vote for him. | ||
| This is how he believes. | ||
| This is how he acts, which is a real threat to all of us that have opposed him. | ||
| What a lot of the people who are kind of on the bubble here, who are going to decide this in many ways, Are people who have to say, who are in their minds saying, yeah, Trump may be crazy, but She's a socialist, or whatever the butt is, to get to where they want to get. | ||
| Because they want to get to voting for... | ||
| They want to get to voting against Democrats, right? | ||
| And any justification, you're going to grab anything on your way to try to get there. | ||
| To me, the choice is, yes, he is an authoritarian figure. | ||
| And just because it didn't work last time, doesn't mean it won't work this time. | ||
| He is an existential threat to our democracy. | ||
| He's unfit. | ||
| We wouldn't be having this conversation if we didn't believe that. | ||
| There would not be never Trumpers if we did not believe that. | ||
| I mean, I threw away my career because I believe that. | ||
| Every Republican I speak to in every battleground state believes that, that he's unfit, he's a threat to democracy. | ||
| So I lead with that, always. | ||
| That's my most persuasive argument. | ||
| Why vote for Kamala Harris? | ||
| Because that guy is a f***ing danger to this country. | ||
| That's why. | ||
| I remember talking to some folks during the 2020 cycle. | ||
| If he wins, maybe this is who we are. | ||
| And maybe that's the complicated, terrible reality we're gonna have to confront. | ||
| But let's try not to be that country. | ||
| Morning. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room with the great Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Dave Bratt co-hosting with Ben Harnwell. | ||
| In today, we're going to be spontaneous and have a bunch of great guests and great conversations. | ||
| We're going to start this show one week to go. | ||
| Prayers for Stephen K. Bannon and his strong, speedy return to the War Room. | ||
| We start all the shows in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| I gotta respond to that brilliant cold open Cameron put together and the team. | ||
| They just do great work. | ||
| They need credit for what they do. | ||
| But they're talking about the normalization of language and they're equating fascism with going after your political opponents. | ||
| I have two words to correct that view real quick. | ||
| Stephen Bannon. | ||
| He was the architect of the 2016 campaign, chief of staff to President Trump in the White House. | ||
| He's in jail. | ||
| Don't get fooled with the gaslighting, the normalization of language. | ||
| It's all upside down. | ||
| I don't believe a word of it. | ||
| Peter Navarro also in jail. | ||
| President Trump with I forget how many lawsuits in warfare coming from this current administration. | ||
| And their Justice Department, right? | ||
| All political views are my own. | ||
| I want to cover just for a minute a very good article. | ||
| I recommend it to you. | ||
| Once in a while, the liberal guys, David Brooks with the New York Times, he tries to play a conservative on TV once in a while. | ||
| He's not intentionally malicious, but he let the quiet part slide out pretty loud in his piece. | ||
| Why the heck isn't she running away with it? | ||
| Meaning the election for Kamala Harris. | ||
| Why the heck isn't she running away with it? | ||
| And then he goes into this logic. | ||
| In days gone by, parties were political organizations designed to win elections. | ||
| Today, on the other hand, and this ties into everything you just heard, in an increasingly secular age, political parties are better seen as religious organizations that exist to provide believers with meaning, membership, and moral sanctification. | ||
| If that's your purpose, of course, you have to stick to the existing gospel. | ||
| You have to focus your attention on affirming the creed of the current true believers. | ||
| And this applies to the right and to the left. | ||
| So you see what they're doing with language, right? | ||
| Brooks is pretty educated there, but he's just turning all of the orthodox religious language into this neutral stuff about whatever your gospel is, whoever your priesthood is. | ||
| And then he goes through a couple stats for Kamala. | ||
| But he says the problem here is when you look at the Democrat Party and you look at their priesthood, The public conversation on the Democratic side is dominated by highly educated urban progressives who work in academia, the media, the activist groups and so on. | ||
| He's calling them the left's priesthood. | ||
| And he's kind of affirming this, that this is okay. | ||
| These folks have a highly developed and self-confident worldview, a comprehensive critique of American society. | ||
| You want to know who that is? | ||
| You want to know who the high priest of a cultural critique across the board of everything American is? | ||
| Karl Marx. | ||
| So there's no shocker. | ||
| It's just amazing that Brooks is coming out in kind of the moral equivalent, right? | ||
| You got the Judeo-Christian West on the conservative side, and then you got this new priesthood of elites on the other side. | ||
| He goes over the way the elites on the left fight racism. | ||
| But most Americans, he says, also want to fight racism, but they seek to do it in a different way. | ||
| And 92% of Americans agree with the statement, our goal in society should be to treat all people the same without respect to race. | ||
| Wow, what a radical idea. | ||
| MLK, etc. | ||
| Or take energy. | ||
| We have our ambassador, Carla Sands, coming up in a minute on this. | ||
| Most members of the Democratic priest class... | ||
| You know, our climate, you know, crazy. | ||
| 72% of Americans want an all-in approach across the board. | ||
| And then just in closing, I've been describing the Democrat priest class as the Marxist, right? | ||
| Just a sustained critique of everything American, starting with the nation state, the church, the synagogue, the family unit, all under attack. | ||
| The green climate stuff, using the Justice Department. | ||
| The Republicans have exactly the same dynamic. | ||
| Except their priesthood is dominated by Christian nationalists, some of whom are literally members of the priesthood. | ||
| Oh, gasp! | ||
| Right? | ||
| So, on the conservative side, the Republicans have actual priests in their priesthood. | ||
| So, I mean, this is David Brooks just saying the quiet part outlawed, and this is the opposition. | ||
| He's actually admitting it is a war between the Judeo-Christian religious tradition and this newfangled thing of the left, which cannot stand. | ||
| Harnwell coming up. | ||
| But first, we want to welcome to the show Ambassador Carla Sands. | ||
| Ambassador, you've written a piece and you had a hit piece written against you by Politico, so you must be right over the target. | ||
| I read your piece, just common sense. | ||
| It's what I just read, the huge stat, what the American people want. | ||
| Why don't you just give us a, you know, a brief overview of our domestic policies and why we're in the wrong direction and And then you have the expertise to also, secondly, cover the international waterfront, right? | ||
| Iran, Russia, Germany, the pipelines, etc. | ||
| And they're intimately connected. | ||
| So welcome to the War Room, Ambassador Carla Sands. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, David. | |
| It's so good to talk to you. | ||
| And God bless Steve Bannon and what he's created and all the posse that's watching. | ||
| Yes, I'd be delighted to talk. | ||
| I have a piece out just over the weekend in The Washington Times about how Kamala Harris's energy policies Are costing and will cost Americans time and money. | ||
| My mother, her wash machine, it broke down and the repairman came and she goes, well, I'll just get a new one. | ||
| He goes, don't do it, ma'am. | ||
| are no good. | ||
| They take a really long time. | ||
| They don't they don't clean the clothes. | ||
| So that's kind of where we're at because of their overreach and their their attempt to have totalitarian policies. | ||
| They're actually the fascists trying to decide for everyone how things are going to go and what they can buy, whether it's stoves or gas powered cars with their goals to have everybody in an EV. | ||
| It's all about the war on American energy and attempting to take us to some utopia that will put the average American American, a car for the average American out of reach. | ||
| That's the goal. | ||
| But I would also just, if I could, Dave, I'd like to just mention to everybody watching today at midnight is the last day to register to vote in Pennsylvania. | ||
| If you're in Pennsylvania or you have a friend here and they've been hesitant to vote, they haven't voted, this is the year they can't sit on the sidelines. | ||
| This is, like Dave was talking about, a binary choice. | ||
| Do we want to live in a free constitutional republic, protecting the First Amendment, all of our constitutional rights? | ||
| President Trump has promised that he and J.D. Vance are going to do that. | ||
| Kamala Harris has said she's going to pack the court. | ||
| She's going to do away with the filibuster so that she can install In a kind of in a force it kind of way, every one of her policies that are going to bankrupt our country, we're already going bankrupt. | ||
| But you can go to swampthevoteusa.com and you can register right now. | ||
| President Trump's website is swampthevoteusa.com. | ||
| But if you're in Pennsylvania, it's swampthevoteusa.com forward slash PA. And you can register right now. | ||
| And just please don't wait. | ||
| And please don't wait to vote. | ||
| Remember, there were so many things that got in the way of us winning, whether it was that special for George Santos' seat. | ||
| Democrats used all nine days in New York of early voting. | ||
| Republicans waited for Election Day. | ||
| And then there was bad weather and they couldn't get out of their houses. | ||
| Or think about Maricopa County or the crowd strike event that happened right after the RNC convention when the CEO a few days later, you know, no planes were flying. | ||
| The CEO a few days later said, oh, we're really sorry. | ||
| We were practicing for Election Day. | ||
| So please don't wait for Election Day. | ||
| Please vote early. | ||
| In Pennsylvania, we've gone from four Democrats to one Republican. | ||
| Back after the break with Ambassador Carla Sands. | ||
| Stay tuned. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | |
| Back in the war room, Dave Brat sitting in with Ambassador Carla Sands and our co-host Ben Harnwell. | ||
| Ben is going to come and join the show right now and drill down a little bit more on some of these energy issues that the ambassador just brought up. | ||
| Welcome to the show, Ben. | ||
| Great to have you on, brother. | ||
| Thanks, Dave. | ||
| Thanks very much. | ||
| Ambassador Sands, I was particularly interested in what you were saying at the top of the show, how your mother had been advised by a technical expert. | ||
| This is what you said in the Washington Times article, and we'll put that out on our social media because everybody should click on this, read it. | ||
| It's simply excellent. | ||
| But to quote you precisely, you say these regulations with regards to energy efficiency... | ||
| I mean that consumers will often face pricier appliances that don't work as well. | ||
| Could you just dig down a little on that and draw out for the war in posse the fact that government regulations driven by the environmental lobby, because obviously What's done in the name of the environment is simply about shifting more product on behalf of producers. | ||
| It's not about consumers or consumer choice. | ||
| Could you just break down a little bit that relationship between regulations and lack of choice? | ||
| And specifically, you know, citing the anecdotal evidence, are you aware of any... | ||
| Empirical, formal evidence undertaken by a think tank or something like that to drive down on this relationship between the regulations and the inferiority of produce. | ||
| Because anyone who buys anything these days will be aware of precisely this. | ||
| Things are getting more expensive and they need replacing sooner rather than later. | ||
| I'm glad to hear that government is at the bottom of this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| So government's causing it. | ||
| And in fact, there are plans to do away with certain kinds of water heaters. | ||
| It's being run out of our Department of Energy. | ||
| And there's a lot of activists working there. | ||
| And so I'm really looking forward, God willing, President Trump wins, that he has a team of very excited people to bring choice back to Americans. | ||
| All political views are my own. | ||
| But putting the American people first rather than a climate cabal We're good to go. | ||
| Manufacture of most solar panels and windmills. | ||
| But for instance, when I was a kid, our dishwasher was finished in about 30 minutes. | ||
| Now they can take well into an hour and a half. | ||
| All this is planned by the government enforcing these certain efficiencies, using less water, where, you know, President Trump's going to help with the water issues, too. | ||
| We have plenty of water. | ||
| It's just largely misallocated. | ||
| I don't know about America, but here in occupied Europe, including to the reaches of Great Britain, they passed a law saying you had to have a minimum amount of quantity in the flush when you flushed the toilet. | ||
| So the obvious consequence of this is that you now need to flush the toilet two or three times to do what could have been done in one single flush before. | ||
| I think the argument you're saying here is exactly the same with electric vehicles. | ||
| The whole shtick here, you indicate how this is a great boon for Chinese manufacturing, but the shtick here is to pass a law and to make everybody effectively at some point in the next 5-10 years buy a new car that's EV, whether they needed to buy a new car or whether they didn't. | ||
| It's great for manufacturers, including domestic manufacturers, I might add. | ||
| This is a case that the lobbyist congressional complex forces consumers to buy things that they do not need, that they have less money to spend on the things that they do want to spend that money on, so that their quality of life goes down. | ||
| This is simply a racket, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| So the American people had more money in their pocket under President Trump and they had a wide choice. | ||
| Now they want to limit the choice by government control. | ||
| And you're right. | ||
| It's going to cost. | ||
| There will be people that can't afford an electric vehicle. | ||
| So I'm really hoping that every listener goes out and votes and votes early so that we can win and we can have common sense regulations come in. | ||
| President Trump talks about how regulations are actually more important to everybody Less regulations than lower taxes. | ||
| The overreach is so big that under President Biden, he's put in five times more regulations than President Obama did. | ||
| That's how shocking this is. | ||
| And Elon Musk is talking about how soon we won't be able to make or do anything because we'll be so overregulated. | ||
| President Trump removed regulations. | ||
| At the end, seven regulations went away for every new one. | ||
| So, for instance, I'll give you an example. | ||
| Governor Gavin Newsom, it was some time ago, but during this administration, he said, listen, we're going to go to all EVs by, I think it was 2035 or around that time, and so we're not going to be able to buy gas-powered cars. | ||
| Later that same week, he goes, oh, by the way, you can't charge your electric car because it's straining the grid. | ||
| No charging allowed. | ||
| So can you imagine? | ||
| He's literally kneecapping every Californian. | ||
| There's 40 million people there. | ||
| What kind of a joke is that policy? | ||
| We need America first policies. | ||
| All political views are my own. | ||
| We need America first policies again so that governments around the world take care of their people. | ||
| Our government looks like the only government in the world that really doesn't care about the well-being and prosperity and security of our people. | ||
| So I'm really hoping that President Trump and J.D. Vance are elected. | ||
| They have great people coming on board like RFK Jr., Elon Musk, like people who really care about the people, whether it's their health or government efficiency. | ||
| Everybody who worked for President Trump knows there's a lot of waste. | ||
| There's a lot that can be done to save every taxpayer, I would say, trillions of dollars a year. | ||
| Ambassador, I think we've got a couple minutes to go. | ||
| Also, can you expand on the international linkages that our domestic energy policy is being driven by international forces? | ||
| These wars we're fighting. | ||
| Iran was weak under Trump. | ||
| Now they're strengthened. | ||
| Germany, the pipelines, you know all about in your role as ambassador. | ||
| How are all these issues connected and how hopefully will a new administration help to fix some of this? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, really quickly, Dave. | |
| So my team and I worked with President Trump in his White House in the Danes to block Nord Stream 2, that Russian gas pipeline. | ||
| The only place it was never completed was my area of responsibility. | ||
| And that was a win for the United States, but for the world, because it was limiting more Russian gas. | ||
| And what Joe Biden did on day one, he canceled the Keystone XL pipeline. | ||
| Several months later, he said, look, we're not going to sanction that Russian gas pipeline, allowing it to be completed. | ||
| That's Putin's project, right, with Germany. | ||
| And then we had the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, which every world leader watched. | ||
| Kamala Harris was the last person in the room and said she wouldn't have done anything differently. | ||
| Just let's not forget that. | ||
| And then the third piece of the puzzle, I think, of the Biden-Harris administration was when Joe Biden stood at the podium and said, look, if there's a minor Russian incursion into Ukraine, we're not going to do anything. | ||
| And I believe that that opened the door. | ||
| Those three pieces opened the door to Putin invading Russia would never have happened under strong Trump administration leadership because he led with peace through strength. | ||
| But we also had the invasion by Hamas into Israel. | ||
| They could have never afforded to go in under President Trump because he was bankrupting Iran. | ||
| He was starving them with maximum pressure. | ||
| Not starving literally, but starving their funding of their Quds Force, of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthi rebels. | ||
| So they were hamstrung in aggression. | ||
| President Biden gave them billions of dollars for a handful of hostages released. | ||
| And then he said, we're not going to sanction your energy sales to China, allowing them to have hundreds of billions of dollars to play with. | ||
| And that is used for aggression. | ||
| Iran is aggressing. | ||
| In fact, they're funding the people on our campuses and in our cities, they're funding that anti-Israeli, those protests, along with leftist groups. | ||
| They're actually fomenting to try to destabilize our country. | ||
| So we have to, have to put maximum pressure back on Iran. | ||
| And Israel's doing a great job, but they need us to have their back. | ||
| Right on. | ||
| Ambassador Carla Sands, thanks for being with us, sharing your expertise across the board. | ||
| How do people get you? | ||
| What are you doing the rest of the week? | ||
| 20 seconds to go. | ||

| Also seeing Democrat senators and Senate candidates in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, literally all using you in their ads, right? | ||
| So these are the same people that voted to impeach you and convict you in the U.S. Senate and in the U.S. House during your presidency in your first term in office. | ||
| And now they're running ads about how much they got along with you during their time in office. | ||
| What's your response to that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's an honor, actually. | |
| They have senators that voted to impeach the Democrats. | ||
| And they're Democrats. | ||
| And now they're bragging about my policies, and they have to use that because their policies were radical left and not good. | ||
| So they're now taking ads, saying that I was in favor of tariffs like President Trump. | ||
| I was in favor of this and that. | ||
| And nobody's ever seen anything quite like it. | ||
| But they weren't. | ||
| I mean, they weren't. | ||
| Welcome back. | ||
| So now we're joined by the author of that interview, Matt Boyle, the Washington Bureau Chief for Breitbart News. | ||
| Matt, welcome back onto the show. | ||
| Look, I think you're the journalist who's interviewed President Trump more times than anybody else. | ||
| That point that you were just talking to him about that, I'd like to ask you, by the way, how you found him in terms of momentum and spirit. | ||
| About sort of 18 days before this election. | ||
| But before we do that, that point you flagged up here that we just played, and we'll push the whole interview out on our own social media. | ||
| That's really important, Mike, because it sort of illustrates yet again this point that the Democrats actually, Kamala Harris, she doesn't have a record worth standing on to stand on. | ||
| So all she and the Democrat candidates have is Donald Trump. | ||
| Yeah, and importantly here, you've got down ticket Democrats, Senate candidates in the case of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, incumbent Democrat senators, and in the case of Michigan and Arizona, House members who are the Democrat nominees for Senate, who are literally running ads as their major closing message. | ||
| And we've done an analysis of particularly Pennsylvania And Wisconsin, this is the bulk of their spending statewide in the closing weeks of the campaign that are running ads saying that they stand with the Republican candidate for president on major issues like trade and immigration, not with their own party's nominee. | ||
| That is a sign that they think that the Republican candidate is going to win the White House in those states. | ||
| That they are hoping for split ticket votes down ticket to survive and win their own elections. | ||
| So it's every man or woman for themselves on the Democrat side. | ||
| And on the Republican side there's great unity. | ||
| It is also frankly extremely ironic. | ||
| You have Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket. | ||
| Claiming that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy itself, yet her own party's Senate candidates are across the board universally talking about how well they got along with Donald Trump. | ||
| So which is it? | ||
| Is he a threat to democracy or is he someone who effectuated great policy changes that helped the American worker? | ||
| In the battleground states, and it seems to be the latter is the truth, and they're admitting that, and they're saying the quiet part out loud. | ||
| But the Kamala Harris campaign is in complete collapse, and I think that that moment was probably the most newsworthy of our interview with President Trump this weekend. | ||
| We spent about 30 minutes with him over the phone. | ||
| He joined us on our Sirius XM I platform on radio and, you know, we've published several stories on Breitbart about it. | ||
| People can go to Sirius XM, Patriot Channel On Demand in the app and go listen to the interview. | ||
| We've aired it multiple times on the Patriot Channel. | ||
| But there's a lot of other stuff we talked about in the interview, too. | ||
| But I think that that moment illuminates where we are in this campaign, which is that Donald Trump has all the energy and Kamala Harris has none of it. | ||
| Let's talk about this energy thing, because Kamala Harris has actually been tweeting over the weekend that President Trump is starting to flag, drawing allusions indirectly to his age. | ||
| Now, as I said in the beginning, you've interviewed him more times than anybody else, so you know the guy. | ||
| Your 25-minute exclusive interview with him didn't sound to me like he's flagging or winning out of energy. | ||
| No, not at all. | ||
| And in fact, we addressed this head on during the interview. | ||
| This is one of the things he really wanted to talk about. | ||
| As the final weeks of the campaign here are underway, he is aggressively ramping up his schedule. | ||
| He noted that in more than 50 days, he hasn't taken a single day off. | ||
| He focused on, he laid out how he's ramping up events, he's adding more. | ||
| Obviously, you saw him yesterday. | ||
| We talked about this on Saturday afternoon when we taped the interview. | ||
| That he was at McDonald's, right, like serving people. | ||
| That was pretty cool. | ||
| He went to the Steelers game last night in Pittsburgh. | ||
| Right before he taped this interview with us, he had done a tele-rally for half an hour to an hour or so. | ||
| And then right afterwards, he did a town hall in Pennsylvania. | ||
| In between his appearance at McDonald's and his appearance at the Steelers game yesterday, He did another town hall in Pennsylvania. | ||
| He had done rallies. | ||
| He's doing rallies almost every day. | ||
| He's got town hall events, appearances in the battleground states. | ||
| Kamala Harris, meanwhile, is... | ||
| Is scaling back her appearances on the campaign trail. | ||
| Her public schedule just announced last night shows that two out of the five business days of this week, she's hanging out in Washington, D.C. She's not even campaigning in the battleground states. | ||
| On Tuesday and Friday this week, Kamala Harris will not be in battleground states. | ||
| She will be at the vice president's residence in Washington, D.C. So, it's nonsensical by the Kamala Harris campaign to claim that Donald Trump is exhausted, which is the word they keep using. | ||
| And then this gets to another big point that we really hit in the interview with President Trump, but I encourage people to listen to the full thing and hear him talk about it in his words, but is that in one breath they're claiming Trump's exhausted and can't do the job as president, but in the next breath they're claiming that if Trump wins the election, He's going to weaponize government against Democrats and his political opponents. | ||
| Trump kind of found the whole thing comical. | ||
| Which is it? | ||
| Again, is he going to weaponize government or is he too exhausted to even run the government? | ||
| And we talked in particular about how the hypocrisy here, in particular about the left. | ||
| One of the things we talked about specifically was Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon, right? | ||
| I mean, again, the Biden-Harris administration sent both of them to federal prison. | ||
| Steve is still in prison, right? | ||
| Because of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, right? | ||
| They could release him today, and they refused to do so. | ||
| He's only there because Kamala Harris is the vice president. | ||
| Of the United States. | ||
| And obviously, that also doesn't even get into all the things that Donald Trump is faced with weaponization of government by the Biden and Harris administration. | ||
| I mean, Kamala's best friend, Jack Smith, has been coming after President Trump for some time now, and he continues to do so. | ||
| All the way up until the election, right? | ||
| Like, they dropped more stuff this week. | ||
| And so the fact is, is that there's a lot of inconsistencies, logically speaking, from the Democrats. | ||
| And that's why I think you're seeing the energy behind Trump in the final days of this campaign and why Kamala Harris is sliding. | ||
| Yeah, hey, Matt, Dave Bratt in here as well. | ||
| I want to call, ask Denver, please show, I think we've got a one-minute cold-open clip of a contrast that's central. | ||
| Here we go. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Anti-Christian rhetoric and anti-Christian approach to public policy. | |
| I don't think we've just I don't think that we've that's right Jesus is king and I don't think that we've seen I don't think that we've seen anything like this in modern American politics. | ||
| Thanks. | ||
| Yeah, Matt, I just want to get your reaction. | ||
| That's J.D., and then a couple days ago, Kamala Harris is out there on the stump in front of a crowd, and I don't think our video would play this morning. | ||
| All political views are my own, but it was staggering. | ||
| The quiet part came out loud, right? | ||
| She was in church, and Walsh was in a church, But then somebody yelled out something similar to that, you know, Jesus is Lord. | ||
| And then someone else said the same thing. | ||
| And she said, you're in the wrong place, right? | ||
| Go down to the small rally down the street or something like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| I just want your take on that. | ||
| Yeah, look, her campaign is directly insulting to Christians and Catholic voters. | ||
| Obviously, she skipped the Al Smith dinner. | ||
| This was one of the big things I talked with President Trump about. | ||
| Kamala Harris, his campaign It's a direct insult. | ||
| And so are the Democrats as a whole right now, to Christians and to Catholics. | ||
| And frankly, we're seeing Kamala Harris slide significantly in those demographics. | ||
| Those are key demographics. | ||
| Obviously, President Trump's performance with evangelical Christians was one of the biggest reasons why he won in 2016. | ||
| And we've talked, both of us, I believe, with Ralph Reed from Faith and Freedom Coalition. | ||
| He's talked about this. | ||
| He believes that Donald Trump's performance this year with evangelical Christians is going to be even bigger based off of the numbers and the work that his group is doing out there to get out the vote. | ||
| And this is only gonna fuel that. | ||
| And then also, you have Kamala Harris skipping the Al Smith dinner. | ||
| Donald Trump's winning Catholic voters right now. | ||
| And that's in contrast to 2020, when Joe Biden won Catholic voters by about 5%. | ||
| Donald Trump's winning by about 5-10% among Catholic voters. | ||
| And I think that's only gonna intensify And frankly, when you've got Gretchen Whitmer out there doing the thing like the fake communion thing, I mean, this is a total insult to voters of faith. | ||
| And frankly, any voter of faith out there in the country right now, the choice is clear. | ||
| Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are the answer. | ||
| And Kamala Harris is insulting you, right? | ||
| I mean, she's doing it from the campaign stage at a rally when she told people they're at the wrong rally if they believe Jesus is king. | ||
| So... | ||
| Really incredible. | ||
| Ben Harnwell? | ||
| Yeah, I've got a question from Matt, going back to what he was saying just before the clip. | ||
| Looking at the betting markets, I guess you follow Polymarket as closely as I do. | ||
| A huge amount, I think 30 or so million that's been betted from overseas, allegedly, because Americans aren't allowed to do political bets. | ||
| Each one now of the six battleground states is now firmly in Donald Trump's column, including Nevada, which had been touching go for about two weeks. | ||
| Trump now has a 10% lead. | ||
| Before we go to the break in 30 seconds, could you just tell me something? | ||
| You're a pretty astute observer on these things. | ||
| Do you think Kamala Harris peaked too early? | ||
| Like, yes, very much so. | ||
| And I think she's in full decline. | ||
| The betting markets are a good indicator. | ||
| You know, those are people with real money on the line that are betting who they think is going to win. | ||
| And they're looking at things like early vote data, polls, etc. | ||
| But the energy is all with Trump. | ||
| Kamala Harris is in full decline. | ||
| The establishment's desperate to say this is going to be close. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Maybe it will be, but it might not be, too. | ||
| So we'll see. | ||
| Great. | ||
| Thanks, Matt. | ||
| I think we're going for a break now. | ||
| Two minutes, yeah? | ||
| back in two minutes. | ||
| We've seen it time and time again. | ||
| Somebody exposes the truth just to be labeled a conspiracy theorist realist, only to be proven right later on. | ||
| Well, let me tell you about the next thing you should be concerned about. | ||
| Government geo-tracking of your phone and other devices. | ||
| We've seen the government use geo-fencing to track the devices of individuals on January 6th, leading to unwarranted arrests without evidence of wrongdoings. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Welcome back. | ||
| For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. | ||
| Folks, if ever there was a single Bible verse that defined a whole age, it's Ephesians 2. | ||
| I posted on this an hour before the show started. | ||
| It ties nicely, I think, with what Matt Boyle was saying just now, following on front from JD Vance. | ||
| This is a spiritual battle, right? | ||
| And it couldn't be clearer. | ||
| It couldn't be clearer because Kamala Harris said that Jesus Christ isn't welcome. | ||
| In the Democratic Party. | ||
| There's this article in The Guardian. | ||
| This is my article of the day, right? | ||
| A headline, the Satanic Temple is taking on the Christian right. | ||
| It's absolutely clear. | ||
| They're not hiding it anymore. | ||
| This is exactly what is going on. | ||
| My question to you is, do you see, when I say a single Bible verse can define a whole age, I'm referring to a number of trends that tie together. | ||
| The fact that young guys, this is the first time in generations, young guys are taking the lead in church now. | ||
| Young guys are drifting. | ||
| To the right, as women are drifting to the left, there is a movement taking place. | ||
| How closely do you see, moving forward, this growth of Christian nationalism, this idea of MAGA becoming ever more explicitly pro-Christian, defence of Christian values, in defence of Jesus Christ, and the Democrats moving in the opposite direction? | ||
| This article here in The Guardian, which for the folks in America, the war impossible definitely know this. | ||
| We cite this all the time. | ||
| It's basically the UK's version of The New York Times, right? | ||
| It even says Satan is now a feminist. | ||
| Do you see this trend, Matt Boyle, going forward over the next generation? | ||
| Is it going to widen or is it going to converge back towards the centre? | ||
| Well, look, this is what this election's about, right? | ||
| So what you have on the top of the ticket on the Democrat side, we never, look, there used to be minor political disagreements between the two different sides, between the two different parties, but you would never really have one party openly undercutting what it means to be a voter of faith, | ||
| what it means to believe in God, what it means to, beyond the faith situation, What it means to, you know, the normal societal norms with regard to family, and what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman, right? | ||
| Like, I mean, again, we have one party that has openly declared war on all of these traditions and norms in this country, and that's the Democrat Party, right? | ||
| I mean, just look at the way that they're handling the issue of masculinity right now on the Democrat side, right? | ||
| Like, you have Doug Emhoff and Tim Walz out there, the Would be first gentleman, currently second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, and the would be vice president, current governor of Minnesota, and Tim Walz. | ||
| I mean, they're trying to recraft what it means to be a man in society. | ||
| They're also trying to recraft what it means to be a woman in society, right? | ||
| So again, my hope here is that, and I think that a lot of voters see this, is that none of this is normal, right? | ||
| Like, none of this is normal by the Democrats. | ||
| And so if they lose this election, one would hope that the Democrat Party will retool and move back to the center and actually compete to win the hearts and minds of American workers and families. | ||
| In a normal way, rather than in this way where they're trying to radically morph and reshape all of these things in society to fit their twisted agenda. | ||
| And if they do that, they'll probably have better success. | ||
| And frankly, the American worker and family will do better if there's an actual arms race between both political parties like there used to be back in the Reagan days. | ||
| You know, I mean, again, Reagan and Tip O'Neill They had their disagreements and they had their differences, but they were minor compared to what we're talking about today. | ||
| Matt Boyle, that is an essential point. | ||
| My question to you is, how can the Democratic Party, at least on the religion front, at least on the Christian point, ever come back to the centre? | ||
| Because after statements like what Kamala Harris said, I think it was on Saturday, who... | ||
| Which believing Christians are still going to be in the Democratic Party to bring it back to the centre? | ||
| If you are a person of faith, if you believe in Jesus Christ, what possible rationalisation can you make to yourself to stay in that party at this point in time? | ||
| Well, again, I would argue that Christianity, one of the biggest themes and tenets of Christianity is redemption, right? | ||
| And forgiveness, right? | ||
| And so hopefully, again, after they lose the election, they go through a cycle of redemption and forgiveness on their side and actually change their ways and move off of this radical agenda that they're pursuing. | ||
| And try to rectify the wrongs that they've made. | ||
| But again, they cannot be rewarded with power when they're pursuing this extreme radical agenda that they are pursuing. | ||
| They've made it clear. | ||
| They genuinely despise voters of faith. | ||
| Kamala Harris, Gretchen Whitmer, The whole rest of them. | ||
| And again, I'm very confident that the public in the numbers we're seeing out there, you know, in the polling data, in the early vote data, etc., are rejecting this, which is a good thing. | ||
| But after it's rejected, assuming it is, then hopefully they go through a cycle of redemption and forgiveness on their side and fix these major issues on the Democrat side. | ||
| I hope that they do. | ||
| Because I do think it would be healthy for the country to see both parties actually competing to do some good in the world. | ||
| I'm very happy to forgive anybody who is willing to apologise for their mistakes. | ||
| My question specifically was, if all the Christians, if all the believing Christians have left the Democratic Party, who is going to still be in that movement in order to bring it back to the centre whenever they go through their conversion moment? | ||
| I don't see, I can't see it possibly happening. | ||
| You mentioned Gretchen Whitmer, right? | ||
| Folks, I think the woman possibly would have seen the fact that she did this appalling blasphemous parody of the mass with a Dorito crisp, a Dorito chip. | ||
| This is what Americans, this is what your Democrat elites The Democrat leads you to think of you. | ||
| This is what they think of your religion and they would think of your faith. | ||
| They could not have more contempt for you. | ||
| Matt Boyle, I know you've got to jump. | ||
| Thanks for coming on the show. | ||
| Quickly, where do people go to download your interview with President Trump? | ||
| Yeah, we have it on Breitbart.com. | ||
| They can also follow me on Twitter at mboyle1 and on True Social at Real Matt Boyle. | ||
| So we've got the interview up there and they can also listen to it on SiriusXM On Demand. | ||

| Catch up again with you soon. | ||
| God bless. |
