This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
unidentified
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
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.
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.
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
unidentified
MAGA Media.
jake tapper ▲ ● ▼
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
The 11th hour, the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent.
unidentified
Thank you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
It was Armistice Day for many, many decades and became Veterans Day.
I guess after World War II, because you couldn't praise the war to end all wars.
It didn't quite work out like that.
That still lives with us today.
In fact, what happened in those trenches...
It was the end of the Victorian era, end of kind of the Victorian sensibilities, Victorian values.
It kicked off what I call the short 20th century, from August 1914 to November of 1989, June to November of Tiananmen Square and the Berlin Wall coming down.
Within that century, the short 20th century, It's like a new dark age.
I don't know, 200, 250 million people slaughtered, either through the Chinese Communist Party starvation programs, through the Holocaust, what the Nazis did to the Jews, a tournament of, you know, gay folks, Catholic priests, the battlefield deaths of World War I and World War II, a slaughterhouse.
It was a slaughterhouse.
We came through a slaughterhouse.
And that's why today, MAGA, a populist movement that puts America first, people, working people, don't want any more wars.
Just don't.
We don't want a million casualties in the Ukraine.
We don't want to kill a bunch of Russians who are our allies.
The Russian people, not Stalin in that crowd.
Ask yourself, how many of the elites in Europe, in NATO, they hear every day, NATO, NATO, NATO. How many of them were with us in World War II? The Brits obviously fought side by side, but you could argue not just for their own freedom, and they were taken in coming, but it was to preserve their empire, which they were very focused on in India and Egypt and throughout the world, Singapore.
Germany wasn't with us.
Italy wasn't with us.
Spain wasn't with us.
A lot of the Eastern European countries weren't with us.
Norway, awful.
The Low Countries, awful.
Sweden, neutral.
No, neutral means you're with Hitler.
Irish, I'm Irish.
Neutral, not good enough.
Working with the Nazis, yes.
The submarines, got it.
Understand it.
How many were with us?
When you're in Brussels and the big NATO headquarters, how many were with us?
France fell in six weeks.
I got it.
You took so many casualties in World War I, you couldn't do it anymore.
Couldn't do it again.
But the Vichys, the French government, I hate to be brutally frank, you were shipping them to concentration camps as fast as you could.
De Gaulle and the Patriots in France that fought, I don't know, not even a combat division.
You had the Polish Airborne Division, you had some.
The resistance mainly were Marxists, and a lot of those were Jewish, were fighting for it because they knew they had a Holocaust going on.
The resistance was brave.
They were captured, tortured, killed, murdered, brutal torture.
So let's understand the history of the 20th century.
Let's understand, in Veterans Day, it's not our honored dead.
The honored dead is Memorial Day.
Veterans Day is for we the living.
And remember, every veteran, what...
No veteran wants to hear, ever, is thank you for your service.
Our service itself, we were thanked by being allowed to serve.
Virtually every veteran will tell you it was the greatest time of their life, the most important time of their life.
Now, there's a lot of bitterness now, as there should be, from Iraq and Afghanistan, these places that American lives are just tossed away for the elites to use them like so many pawns on a chessboard.
Patrick K. O'Donnell is our best combat historian.
You've just come back from a battle that's not that well known.
It's one of the toughest Marine Corps battles, I think, since Terawa and Iwo Jima and Peleliu.
You've got the battle away.
And you've got many in Vietnam, I'm talking about a big battle, the Battle of Wei City during the Tet Offensive, and you've got Fallujah.
Two of the hardest battles in the history of the Marine Corps.
Oh yes, with the Chosin Reservoir.
Let me put that in there too.
Chosin Reservoir, Wei City, Fallujah.
You just had your 20th anniversary.
I can't believe it was 20 years ago.
You had your 20th anniversary, Patrick?
patrick k odonnel ▲ ● ▼
Yes, Steve.
I went out to Camp Pendleton.
And we gathered for the 20th anniversary of the Battle of Fallujah.
I was with Lima Company 3-1, US Marine Corps.
I was a volunteer combat historian.
I went house to house with these Marines.
And this was the greatest urban combat, one of the greatest urban combat battles of the Marine Corps.
And what I saw there I will never forget, Steve.
It was unbelievable, the violence, the destruction.
It's something that even Hollywood couldn't replicate.
But what I really saw was how young Americans did the impossible over and over and went to one house.
At the reunion, I ran into Sergeant Aaron Kent, who It's the first time I've seen him in 20 years.
He was an example of what many of the men in Lima Company and also Kilo in India had done.
He was severely wounded with multiple shrapnel wounds all over his body, but he wasn't going to let his brothers down.
He literally went AWOL from the aid station and procured a weapon, literally, Stole a weapon that was from a KIA Marine who I actually witnessed his death only a day earlier.
And he went back into the fight.
And he showed me the actual paper that he had from that day where they said, we can't find him.
He's missing.
And the last we saw him, he was on a truck heading back to Fallujah to rejoin his brothers.
But that's an example of what these men did.
And it's...
It's largely an unknown story.
I wrote a book called We Were One, Shoulder to Shoulder with the Marines Who Took Fallujah.
It's on the Commandant's reading list.
There are multiple Commandants, which was required reading for the Marine Corps.
But it's a relic of the battle in the sense that I gathered the oral histories as the combat was going on and then shortly afterwards.
And it's a book that could not be written today because These are the feelings and emotions that are very raw of what happened in those days in Fallujah, which was really one of the most extraordinary battles in Marine Corps history, in American history.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Second Fallujah, I did a film with Michael Pack, the great Michael Pack, who eventually became head of VOA in Trump's first term for, I don't know, six months or so, because Mitch McConnell held it out.
We did a film called The Last 600 Meters.
I produced, executive produced it.
He directed it.
It was about...
First Fallujah, Najaf, and Second Fallujah.
But Second Fallujah, I think it was a town of 250,000 people.
You had to go door-to-door.
And all the bad guys from First Fallujah, the Chechens, everybody.
It was the Star Wars bar of bad element that came to that city.
And the Marines went door-to-door.
Door-to-door.
This is why so many Marines have PTSD, right?
Because you've got little kids running around, you've got people running around.
They went door-to-door to clear that city.
One of the most heroic guys.
You know, Michael Pack went out.
We went out to the Marine Force Recon out on the West Coast to show the film, premiere the film.
And these guys are still left over, Patrick.
As you know, you've done so much to keep the memory of World War II alive with oral histories.
And that these are the guys, the Force Recon of Peleliu and Terawatt.
They don't come any tougher.
And they said at the end of the film, some old guy, he's 90 years old, 92 years old, he says, you know, I don't know how those kids did it.
That's so hard, I don't know how they did it.
And he's like, sir, you're the greatest generation, you're the tip of the spirit, you're the greatest of the greatest generation at two of the bloodiest battlefields ever, Tarawa and Palaloo.
How could you say that, compare that?
And he goes, no, no, you don't understand.
We were 17 and 18 years old, we were dropped on the beach, and we were told a clear cut Everything in front of us.
And quite frankly, no prisoners.
Boom.
You just go.
You do not back up an inch.
You get back up an inch, you're going to get shot.
You just move forward.
You kill everything in front of you and you keep going.
He said, we didn't have any decisions to make.
It was just go.
Go and die.
Go and get wounded or go and just push it through.
He said, these kids, every second of every day, having to kick down those doors and clear those rooms with civilians and little children running around and women and using as body shields.
He goes, I don't know how people do it.
This is the reason we have the PTSD. Do you understand how hard that is, the day after day, and that's what you do?
That's why these here, and they're all volunteers.
Like this guy said, hey, we were all drafted virtually.
They're all volunteers.
That's the heroism.
What you saw stand up on Tuesday is the innate heroism of these younger people.
That's why you've got to turn this economy around.
You've got to be able to buy a house.
You've got to have an income, one job.
You can hold a family of four.
They're the backbone of this nation, and what they've done is extraordinary.
And now, I don't know, they're killing themselves at 25 a day because they came back and they got...
When I was in Danbury, a couple of the veterans, these are heroes.
These are guys that are warriors.
Got no at all thing on PTSD and they got back and hey, they're a little messed up because of what they went through.
And what they went through was horrific when even veterans of forced recon in the Pacific are sitting there telling you, hey, I was the tip of the spear and I don't know how these kids did it.
That's a veteran.
That's what your veterans are.
That's what's out there.
Please don't tell me, don't thank anybody for their service.
Their thanks is this republic going forward as a constitutional republic.
You know what they got their thanks?
They got their thanks on Tuesday.
That's their thanks.
That's what they want to see.
And not have their lives be thrown away for nothing in these endless wars by these warmongers like Cheney and her war criminal family who lied to the American people to actually get them over there to Iraq and Afghanistan.
So Patrick, what then is to be done?
We've got a crisis of veterans now, and on this Veterans Day, you've been with them.
You're the best combat historian, and the reason you're a combat historian, you get in, you do the oral histories, you go back and do the research.
Now you're doing some Revolutionary War and Civil War books, but to date you've done Korea, you've done World War II, you've done more probably than the oral histories of the greatest generation.
The crisis of our veterans here on Veterans Day, Patrick K. O'Donnell, is what?
And what then is to be done about it, sir?
patrick k odonnel ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, the tragedy is the battalion had almost 700 Purple Hearts and over 40 killed in action in the battle.
But now the suicides within the unit have exceeded the actual KIAs.
So what I think needs to be done is...
Hold it.
Stop.
unidentified
Full stop.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I'm going to hold you through the break.
Mo's going to be with us.
I want you to repeat that.
You had 40 KIAs, 70 Purple Hearts wounded in combat, and you're telling me today that the suicides now today are greater...
700 Purple Hearts.
The suicides are greater than the killed in actions?
patrick k odonnel ▲ ● ▼
Yes.
unidentified
Because the melody don't mean a thing.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
I'll tell you what, Patrick, hang through the break.
Patrick K. O'Donnell, the combat historian, his books are everywhere.
They're fantastic.
This audience loves them.
We're going to put them up.
Send it to your site.
He's going to join me.
Captain Ben is going to join me.
The crisis.
Don't thank them for their service.
The thing itself was thanks.
To serve, to have the honor of serving this great republic and serving its citizens in the ultimate service.
Which is military service and particularly those that served in combat.
We're going to take a short commercial break.
Johnny Conn, the great Johnny Conn, takes us out with American Heart.
Couldn't be a better, better song to play on this Veterans Day.
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent.
But not for long.
Short break.
You're in the war room.
Back in a moment.
unidentified
As if all the founding fathers seem to get it wrong But I say, I still believe in The greatest innovator,
liberator, cultivator, freedom knows So I suggest you take a look inside Cause I think you've changed already You went and lost your war room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Yeah, on my history of World War II, remember, when I said the resistance by Marxists and a lot of them Jewish people, that's France.
In Poland, obviously, the very heroic Polish, you know, the Poles were absolutely abused.
Not only did the war officially start there, but then what they did to the Poles and the Germans and Ukrainians, the Soviets, the Bolsheviks were just as bad.
But the Poles did have, I think it was a combat brigade of paratroopers.
We're in Market Guard and other places.
So yeah, the Poles stood up.
Yeah, they represent it.
And they're one of the biggest backers.
But hey, let me be blunt.
The Swiss, the Italians, the Spanish, these are the elites.
Norway, Sweden, my Ireland, the low countries.
Norway, terrible.
Sweden, terrible.
Come on, man.
You're not going to rewrite the history of that and all this NATO, NATO, NATO. Remember, almost every country in NATO was not with us in World War II. It just weren't.
The battlefield casualties there were the Brits and ourselves in Europe, in Western Europe, which were minuscule.
As much of the bravery in the Battle of the Bulge, Normandy, all of it, which are all horrific, to what the Russians took on and bled out the Wehrmacht in places like, wait for it, Ukraine.
You've got to understand the history of World War II, the Chinese people and the Russian people and the American people and the British, the people.
They took it.
The leaders, Joseph Stalin, awful.
Almost as bad as Hitler.
Mao Zedong, we turned the country over to him after the war.
Horrible.
Murdered a couple hundred million of his own people.
Starved him to death.
Cultural revolution.
Concentration camps.
Most murderous regime in history.
This is the uprising seeing the vets today.
That's why the cornerstone of the America First MAGA market is not that they're not brave.
They brave beyond belief.
The American fighting man and woman.
It's not about bravery.
It's not about courage.
They don't want their lives thrown away.
Like, what are we fighting for?
What is this empire that the founders warned us about?
They broke off from empire at the beginning stage of going turbocharged with India and North America.
They broke off from it.
Why?
We don't want to be a part of this.
This is not what we want to do.
Patrick K. O'Donnell, you've seen it up front.
Now your books go back to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War II, World War I, the Korean War, the one in Korean War, Chosin Reservoir.
Was it Give Me Tomorrow?
Brutal.
Iraq, we were one, is incredible.
Tell me, I know you're jammed for time here.
The crisis of the veterans that you know, I mean, when you sit there and have served with these guys and live with these guys as a war correspondent and a battlefield historian, you're telling me, hey, the unit had 40 KIAs killed in actions, and now, today, you have totaled more suicides than KIAs.
That's everything.
That sums it up right there.
That sums it up right there.
That's the crisis.
And they're homeless and living in the streets.
Look, and you've got these groups, which all these groups are great, but they're building homes and taking care of...
Why is the government...
Why are we not taking care of them and sell the illegal aliens?
Why are we not building them homes?
Why are we not taking care of their disabilities when they're legless and have no face or been burned?
And their kids and their children's children...
What did Lincoln say?
That we're going to sustain sustenance for the widow and for the orphan?
What about that?
And $7 trillion, we can't carve out a little bit for that?
They got to beg for it?
They got to have a charity that you then, the war room posse, has to put more money in?
Not that you...
Mind putting the money in, but it's the purpose.
Why are we paying for 11 to 15 million illegal aliens under Biden's watch and giving them EBIT cards, debit cards, hotels, all of that?
Why do they go to the first of the line and the veterans that give the most sacrifice go to the back of the line?
Want to know why people are angry?
That's why they're angry.
And they should be angry.
And it's only when you're angry that you get change.
Because if you're just nice, they're going to pat you on the head and tap you along.
Thank you for your service.
Let's have a parade.
Thank you for your service.
Screw you.
Don't want to pray.
Don't want to be thanked for my service.
I want the veterans.
I want the tip of the spear that gave all and the ones that came back shattered.
I want them taken care of.
I want to have a VA that works.
I want to have programs.
I want them job training.
I want them to have good jobs.
I don't want to see our prisons have veterans in them.
Hell, I was in a veterans unit in Danbury.
Shouldn't have to have a veterans unit.
We got a crisis because we've allowed the crisis to happen.
So you got to talk truth to power now.
We're tired of these elites who don't serve and their children don't serve.
Wanting to go out and do everything.
Dick Cheney, how many of your grandchildren have served?
Liz, how many of your sons have served?
How many?
What combat?
Where?
Where'd they go?
What'd they do?
All of you.
You're all ready to send somebody else's kids there.
This is what the MAGA movement is built upon.
It's built upon this very fact.
That the people that either, in Section 60, over at Arlington National Cemetery, Patrick O'Donnell knows what I'm talking about because he's got friends and colleagues over there.
Section 60...
Where the Iraq and the Afghan war dead are buried, this is what Andrew Breitbart, Andrew Breitbart's house overlooked the Los Angeles Military Cemetery right there off of the, off of what, the five or the four, off the four or five right there.
His back of his house looked over it.
It's part of his awakening to see the young families go in there.
In 2003, in 2004, in 2005, in 2006, in 2007, and being buried there, the young families coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan, dead, the war dead.
But remember, today is about we the living.
We the living.
So please don't tell a veteran, you want to insult a veteran, come and say, thank you for your service.
Don't tell them that.
Serving this republic is thanks enough.
Tell them, hey, guess what?
What do I need to do to make sure there's not 25 suicides a day of veterans?
What do I need to do to make sure veterans are not homeless on the streets?
What do I need to do to make sure that we don't have these commercials, one after the other after the other, of a homeless person, a guy with no face, people with no arms, the people at the Bill Holmstrom, that the government does it?
It's the government's responsibility.
You send them over there.
Now, you've got to pick up the tab, and I mean all the tab.
The best.
The best treatment.
The best medical.
The best psychological.
Job training.
Best home.
Top.
And cut out some of this other crap, like particularly people who are not citizens of this country flooding in here and getting put up in hotels, getting the cash cards for the food, all of it.
Why do they come first?
Why do they come above the people that have put it all on the line?
Why?
Because the elites, the global elites, want it because they drive down wages.
And so the elites can make more money.
You think I have any respect for these global elites?
I find them revolting.
Because their actions are revolting.
Why do we go to Iraq?
How can anybody feel nothing but guilt or shame if you supported Bush?
They lied to you.
They made it up.
There was no reason to go.
It was all a lie.
All of those dead died for a lie.
I know it's hard for the parents.
But the parents know that.
That's why it's torn apart so many families.
Oh, I remember they had the blue finger, the democracy, we're going to put democracy out there.
That was all a lie.
All a lie.
They lied about all of it.
Patrick K. O'Donnell, what then is to be done, sir?
patrick k odonnel ▲ ● ▼
The generation that I saw in Fallujah was the next greatest generation.
That's what I saw.
I saw men that did everything as well as their ancestors from the American Revolution to World War II and Korea.
This is an extraordinary generation.
And as you said, Steve, they deserve respect.
And they deserve the United States government to honor their service.
And what I've seen is that often economics is intertwined directly with these suicides.
So when the economy is not doing well and these men can't get jobs or have the training that they need to get jobs, it impacts their lives very negatively.
So we need to – we definitely need to do something about that.
They need to be the priority because of their service.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Patrick, where do people go to get your writings?
Particularly on Veterans Day, you want to celebrate Veterans Day, get one of Patrick's books and read it.
Read it.
Read about the fighting men and women of this country.
patrick k odonnel ▲ ● ▼
Go ahead, sir.
At Barnes& Noble for the Unvanquished or at Amazon.com.
My site is at CombatHistorian on Getter and then also on Axe.
And my website's patrickkodonald.com.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
You're fantastic.
Love you, brother.
patrick k odonnel ▲ ● ▼
Know you are, Steve.
unidentified
The best.
patrick k odonnel ▲ ● ▼
Love you, too, and thank you for what you've done for our country.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
No, no, no.
I've done nothing.
Compared to what these people have done, I've done nothing.
Nothing.
But thank you.
I appreciate the sentiment.
unidentified
Nothing.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Compared to what they've done.
Look at these veterans.
No arms, no legs.
Go through life like that from a young person.
Where the living is harder than being dead.
That's what they'll tell you.
And are they prioritized?
Are they a priority?
This is why so many parents today don't want their kids in the woke military.
But not just that.
What's the whole purpose?
In the Pentagon, I read over the weekend, they're thinking about lawful orders.
Look, you don't want to follow what the commander-in-chief says?
Get the hell out.
There's got to be a purge over at the Pentagon.
It's way too much deadwood that has their own ideas about what things are going on.
No, no, no, no, no.
Donald John Trump is the commander on the 20th.
He's the commander-in-chief again.
I pray that one of his first acts...
Is to recall Milley to active duty and court-martial him.
Because he deserves to be court-martial and to go to Leavenworth for decades.
Hardball all day here in the war room.
202-224-3121.
Light up.
Light up these senators.
Give them the old what for.
Short break.
All right, back in a moment.
All right, back in a moment.
Stephen Miller has been named Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy.
That is a massive job.
That means inside the White House, he'll be coordinating all the policy from things he's working on, particularly he'll be working very much for Tom Homan.
Now, last night, he's the border czar and the czar on on on the mass deportations.
Obviously, Miller be working hand in glove.
CNN pundit torches despicable human being Stephen Miller.
Moments after report, he's landed a key Trump White House post.
So they're coming.
They're coming hard.
We know that.
It's one of the reasons you've got to take over the Senate, control the House.
Elizabeth Warren understands a big fight over the judiciary.
She's back saying, hey, I know we didn't take Trump seriously, but they won.
I think we have 20, 30, 40 slots for progressive judges.
We've got to get them approved.
Hey, Liz.
Hey, Focahontas.
You see how I do that?
It's not Focahontas.
It's Focahontas.
F-A-U-X. You like that?
Focahontas.
We ain't going to approve one judge.
This is the Senate's got a man up now.
They've got to hunker down here, and they ought to get one senator.
If you've got to get up there and delay it, delay it, delay it, delay it, delay it, you've got to do it.
We need to see who's in the trenches here.
No federal judges, because guess what?
CNN and MSNBC and Lawrence Tribe and all of it.
We control the Supreme Court.
And now, since we're going to block all the judges because you waited too long, you had all four years, you had time to do it, but you thought you were going to run the tables on us.
You believed your own polling.
Guess what?
You didn't learn from 16.
The reason they forced Merrick Garland through in 16 is they wanted a more progressive judge.
And they thought they were going to run the tables on us.
And this is why Ginsburg stuck around.
Wrong on both.
We got Neil Gorsuch.
And we got another pickup.
We got another pickup on Ginsburg when she died because she was too arrogant.
Yes, I said it.
She was too arrogant to leave in 16 and be replaced.
Hey, it's a tough break.
You always mock and ridicule the MAGA movement.
That's fine.
That's fine.
We like being underappreciated because we sneak up on you.
Now we're going to get all the judges.
We're going to have a 7-2 Supreme Court.
Maybe, hopefully, one day 9-0.
9-0.
And now, because we're going to block all of these...
Elizabeth Warren sat there last week.
He goes, everybody's got to get back to D.C. We've got to work 24-7, seven days a week, eight days a week.
We've got to get these judges through.
You didn't do your job, lady.
Schumer, you know why?
You were laughing us off.
They're not going to take the Senate.
They're not going to take the White House.
Nothing to worry about here.
Nothing to do.
Well, guess what?
You lose.
And now it's time.
202-224-3121.
Tell the Senate it's got to be a public vote.
It's got to be a public vote, number one.
President Trump's going to need 15 days recess in the first hundred.
Because, I don't know, maybe Stephen Miller gets appointed head of DHS. Who knows?
President Trump's calling a recess appointment.
Yep.
unidentified
Yep.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Maybe it's a couple of three folks might get hung up in the Senate.
Maybe.
Hey, that's his option.
Fifteen days.
And no Thune, no Cornyn.
That's the three thing.
Call them right now.
For all you guys at Macho Rico, all these guys just want to burn it down.
They're just anti-institutionalists.
You know, Alex Wagner the other day, we're the ones that protect the institutions.
No, Alex, we're grabbing the institutions and taking power.
As the American people, the way our constitutional system works...
Gave President Trump the authority to do.
So we're going to deconstruct the administrative state.
We're going to purge the deep state and the executive branch.
We're going to take over the Senate.
And we control the House already.
Oh, by the way, the judiciary.
You're not going to get your judges through.
They're all going to be Trump judges.
I want you to...
You're all in the fetal position, so I'm going to give you something to really suck your thumbs about.
We are in charge.
Okay?
The American people have spoken.
African American men, the Hispanic community, the Muslim community, the folks out there in Minneapolis, the Somalian community, white working class, Asian working class.
They back President Trump.
They back the MAGA movement.
The way our system works is now we roll.
You like the institutions.
All the time you tell us, hey, you're the anti-institutionalist.
You want to burn everything down.
No, we don't.
We got to purge the corruption.
We got to purge the rot.
But the institutions, they're good.
They're fine.
You know, maybe we got to get rid of the FBI and build another federal police force.
Maybe we got to deconstruct a bunch of the CIA. That'll all come.
Mo Bannon, on this Veterans Day, ma'am, you're a veteran.
What do you got to say to our team?
maureen bannon ▲ ● ▼
Well, I want to address what you talked about in a previous segment with Patrick K. O'Donnell.
In the post 9-11 war, so Afghanistan and Iraq, there were 7,053 military deaths in war zones.
In a report in 2021, at that time, there were 30,000 veteran suicides.
That was three years ago.
Three years ago, sorry.
So it has gone up to almost 40,000 veteran suicides since 2001.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Wow.
maureen bannon ▲ ● ▼
And like you said, we need to address the issue in this country.
We should not be funding illegal immigrants crossing this border and putting them up in hotels and giving them food stamps and giving them whatever they want when we treat our veterans like garbage.
We do.
The elite in the Senate, you send America's sons and daughters over to war again and again and again.
And once you break them, then you throw them out like the garbage you think they are.
Send your sons and daughters to war.
See what happens to them.
See how you like them treated when they get home and they can't get care for the mental health because of the things they've seen over there.
Think about that.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Also, the fentanyl and the drug crisis not taking on the cartels, the CCP. How many of our fentanyl deaths?
How many of our drug overdoses aren't considered suicides but veterans dead?
How many veterans living on the street?
How many of these commercials you see with no legs, no arms, their brave family standing by them?
Their lives are permanently changing every second of every day.
Think about this.
They serve the country and every second of every day is hell, a struggle.
Think about it.
That's Veterans Day.
Thank them for that.
maureen bannon ▲ ● ▼
And like I said on the show on election night, I serve my country in uniform.
I will serve my country out of uniform.
Like I said, on Tuesday night, right before 11 p.m., until my last breath, I will continue to fight for this country because I believe in this country.
So I will do everything in my power to make sure that veterans are cared for because we risked So much for this country, and this country can be great again.
And I know under Donald Trump, I know we will get back to the way we were, to a strong military.
Not have recruiting numbers not met because no parent wants to put their child into the military the way it is.
You don't want your sons and daughters to go learn gender theory, pronoun training, not war fighting.
What is our military become?
We are not able, if we are attacked, and I don't believe under the first Trump administration, we got involved in no new wars.
Under this Trump administration, I believe we will be in no new wars.
But the way that our military is now, if we were attacked, we wouldn't know what to do because we are so focused on gender theory and pronoun training and not war fighting like we were previously.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Mo, hopefully you'll jump in and help out with the VA. The VA needs help.
Hopefully President Trump will put a new team together.
Maybe you'll be part of that.
Where do people go on your social media?
Where do they go to find you, ma'am?
maureen bannon ▲ ● ▼
You can go to Maureen underscore Bannon on Twitter and also at Real Maureen Bannon on Instagram.
And I would proudly serve this country.
I do believe the VA needs fixing.
Under Donald Trump's first administration, veterans were able to get care at a faster rate than under Obama and Biden.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Well, hopefully you'll be part of that.
The VA definitely needs help.
It needs to get sorted out.
Thank you, ma'am.
Appreciate you.
maureen bannon ▲ ● ▼
Thank you.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Our CEO right there, Mo Bannon.
Maybe if Grace can go to Bill Blaster right now, Grace, if you can put that up.
New York Times today, Trump is pulled toward two paths on my favorite word, retribution.
Revenge versus unity.
You know, it's all of a sudden, you know, they all want to be united.
They want to have a group hug.
Hey, how about this?
Screw yourself.
We're not interested in a group hug.
We're interested in justice.
We're interested in accountability.
Don't give me the revenge versus unity.
No, no, no, stop.
It's not revenge.
It's standing up for this country.
It's making sure this can never, what you guys did can never happen again.
And of course, when you get inside, you've got to turn to page A16 to get to the meat of it.
And what do we have on A16? Since I'm reading the papers here, let's go to A16. What do we have?
Oh my Lord, look on A16, bigger than life.
Who would it be?
Our own Mike Davis.
Now, Mike Davis would be the revenge, okay?
And Jay Clayton, he would be the unity.
They're talking about attorney generals and Mike Davis saying, no, he's going to keep Article 3 project.
He's not going to go in the government.
Although, New York Times, because I want your head to blow up, When we get to recess appointments, you never know.
Mike Davis is Attorney General.
Stephen Miller may be heading DHS. Bobby Kennedy at HHS. Robert Kennedy Jr.
Tulsi Gabbard may be Secretary of Defense.
Who knows?
Kash Patel, head of the FBI. Hey, I'm just, you know, these are just random thoughts that are coming.
I don't know if any of this is true or anything will happen.
But consider the possibilities.
Revenge versus unity.
No, New York Times has nothing to do with revenge.
We can never allow this country to go through the dark days of lawfare.
It cannot happen.
It must be, it must be, that boil must be lanced and all the pus must be drained.
And as anytime you lance a boil and pus comes out, it's not, you know, it's not pleasant for a while until the healing starts.
But you have to go through the lancing process.
And getting the puss out, it has to happen.
It's just nature.
Ecclesiastes tells us there's a time and season for everything, for every purpose under heaven.
The purpose now, the task and purpose, is to take control of the institutions.
So MSMEC can meltdown tonight.
Go to full meltdown.
We're going to take over the institutions.
We're going to control the all functions of government power.
And you know why we're going to do it?
Because the Constitution says we can do it.
Because Donald John Trump.
You want a democracy?
Well, you've got a democracy suppository.
You're not so high on democracy today.
We're already talking to the Electoral College.
You got smoked by five million votes.
These are guys that had no money.
You spent a billion dollars.
Think of what fools you are.
You spent a billion dollars in what, I don't know, eight weeks?
And now you spent millions on Oprah and all this?
On the porn, you had a porn show that I think is a chat show or a podcast called Call Me Daddy.
You built a $100,000 set.
Recreate the set so she didn't have to go to the West Coast.
She was on for seven minutes.
Joe Rogan wouldn't come on because they negotiated.
She won all kinds of things.
What you had is not sellable.
It was rejected by the American people.
And here's the beauty.
It was rejected by the working class in this country, multi-ethnic.
Every race, every ethnicity, every religion.
A full rejection.
You were rejected.
The cultural elites in this country, rejected.
George Clooney, well I'm going to stay out of a policy now because I don't want to get beaten up.
You're a wimp.
You want to get in here, bro, get down here.
You know how long you last on federal prison, Clooney?
Eh, I don't know.
Eight hours?
Wouldn't be 24 hours.
Hunter Biden, hey, your dad better pardon you immediately, because you'll never make it, dude.
The elites in this country suck.
And there's going to be accountability.
Whether Reid Hoffman and these guys call it revenge or call it retribution, hey, that's for them to put the term up.
We don't care, but they're going to be held accountable.
unidentified
We call it, wait for it, wait for it, justice.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Short commercial break.
Back in the War Room in a moment.
unidentified
We will fight till they're all gone.
We rejoice when there's no more.
Let's take down the CCP.
War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Van.
Okay, the great Matt Boyle.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
The great Matt Bull has just put out a tweet, and here's what Matt said.
Matt, over at Breitbart.
I know everyone is focused on the Senate leader position right now, but like, really, the House Speaker or other leadership positions are also a bit fraught, and frankly, why is nobody talking about all of Johnson's failures?
Has Johnson had some failures?
Oh yeah, that's right.
Okay.
You're correct.
Arguably worse than anything we've seen out of the Senate.
Yes, it's a two front.
We'll get to that, Matt, maybe in the five o'clock hour.
Today, the work before us this morning and this afternoon is the Senate.
202-224-3121.
We're already hearing from the Senate.
They're saying their blinds are full.
They're trying to block you.
They're already saying, oh my God, we're not going through this again.
Yes, you are going through it again.
This is like Ukraine vote 2.0.
We're going to light you up.
The vote has to be public.
And here's for the senators and their staffs.
We're going to get the vote.
So you either do it and say, I want it to be public, or you come out and say who your endorsement is or what your public vote is.
Benny Johnson is going to get, he's going to get the vote and we're going to publish it.
He's going to publish it and we're going to put it all over.
So you can't hide.
You can't run and you can't hide.
Number one.
Number two, President Trump needs 15 days recess in the first hundred.
Whether he uses them, whether he uses recess appointments, who knows?
That's all theoretical.
He doesn't know.
Make his mind up at the time.
But needs them.
It's called an ace in the hole.
It's a negotiating type, a little leverage over folks.
Not going to be hung up again.
Number three, John Thune and Corninger is unacceptable.
They're McConnell puppets.
We want the end of McConnell.
We want McConnell to end.
We want it to end.
We want to send him home.
He's still going to hang around.
We want to send him home in disgrace with a 6%.
They have to rename that senator they got there.
What is the University of Kentucky, University of Louisville?
Because he's an awful person and he has done nothing but try to take corporate money to destroy the populist movement.
He is a terrible human being.
And he hates Trump.
He hates the MAGA movement.
And his reign of terror is over.
Benny Johnson called him a terrorist.
A political terrorist.
The reign of terror ends.
Mike Lindell talked to me about Veterans Day.

Look for having you back at 5 p.m.
today.

Thanks, Steve.

Mike Lindell.
That guy's working non-stop.
Election integrity cleaned up these elections.
Not perfect, but better.
Okay, I haven't had time to talk.
Epoch Times has an article over the weekend.
We're going to have to finance $1.37 trillion of debt, new debt, in the first six months of the year.
Yep.
So we're going to hit 40 so quick it's going to make your head swim.
The biggest national security issue we have right now is not Iran, it's not Ukraine, it's not even Taiwan, which is, that's tops.
Ukraine's not relevant, irrelevant to us.
Persia, you just got to back the Persians off.
But the Israelis got to step up in, for the IDF's got to step up in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza and take care of Hamas.
And they got to take care of Hezbollah.
But that's on them.
We'll have their back, but that's on them.
For the United States of America, in the vital national security interest of the United States of America, it is an out-of-control exploding debt and deficits.
We're doing to ourselves what our enemies couldn't do to us.
This was the financial crash of 2008.
The Kaiser, Wilhelm, the Nazis, Mussolini, Imperial Japan.
Nobody got as close to destroying the United States as we did to ourselves in 2008.
And who did that?
The lords of easy money.
By the way, Billy Strings is going to take us out when the man comes around.
What a perfect song for today to kick off of Veterans Day.
Birchgold.com Birchgold.com, the end of the dollar empire, slash bandit, the end of the dollar empire.
But talk to Philip Packer.
Just don't get the free installments.
I think there's seven or eight.
Which even Vanity Fair says is kind of mesmerizing.
Just saying.
Go talk to an advisor and ask them why.
It's a simple question.
Just ask them.
Why has gold been a hedge against times of financial turbulence for 5,000 years of man's recorded history?
unidentified
Why?
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Have the folks at Birch Gold answer that.
And then you make some decisions.
Billy Strings is going to take us out.
It's a Veterans Day.
5 p.m.
I think we've got Dr.
Navarre, but Eric Prince is going to be in the house.
6 o'clock, Natalie Winters.
We've got a lot of investigative reporting that's going to occur at 6.
unidentified
That your head will blow up.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
What is it?
War Room Retribution?
I don't know, man.
It's justice.
Billy Strings.
When the man comes around, a cover...
Of the great Johnny Cash.
We will see you back here at 5 p.m.
Stick around for Charlie Kirk, the Charlie Kirk Show.
That brother's on fire down in Mar-a-Lago.
Jack Posobiec's down there right now.
Getting some work done.
I want to thank Benny Johnson for the great work.
Remember, 202-224-3121.
All day, light them up.
See you back here at 5 p.m.
