steve bannon
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 line?
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. Bannon.
steve bannon
Thursday, 14 November, year of early 2024.
We were going to start with a big presentation about Matt Gaetz and others.
But breaking news, yesterday, a historical day.
Today, a historical day.
It may be the last moments of Alex Jones' massive platform, Infowars.
Let's go.
Alex, do we have Alex Jones?
Alex, are you there?
alex jones
All right.
steve bannon
Brother, tell me what's happening, sir.
alex jones
Thank you, Steve, for getting fired up so quickly in emergency transmission on your end there at thewarroom.org.
We are in the literal final minutes probably.
Let me tell you what happened.
This is incredible.
As you know, federal judge, the US trustee in June tried to shut us down without- Can you all send us a solo shot of Bannon?
Alex Jones owns them full.
There could be a liquidation.
They brought in a new trustee and they said it'll be a public auction on November 13th to the highest bidder.
And then the groups we were working with went and filed all the paperwork, put in deposits, proved their credit.
And I said, watch, they're gonna pull a fast one because that's all that ever happens in the deep state.
That's all that's happened in the law fair against me and you and everybody else in Trump.
Then Monday at three, we get a call and emails from the US trustee and says, now it's different.
It's a secret auction, not an online auction with a big company over it.
And it's now gonna be just envelopes.
You have until 10 AM yesterday to put them in.
The highest bidder gets it, but the US trustee reserves the right to give it to somebody for a lower amount if he chooses.
Well, I thought, well, that obviously we know what's happening there.
They don't want to be a bid by people that are ready to come in with big money.
So we wouldn't be allowed to upbid.
How is that an auction, Steve?
And it's secret.
And they said we can sell it to somebody for less.
So I told the crew, that's it, Thursday morning.
I said, I would imagine within one day we'll be shut down.
Because we've been told by the US trustee months ago, if bad guys got it, you can call them bad guys, but I call them that, that they had said we want it shut down immediately before there's even a court order, before money is even wired in.
Now, if the good guys got it, my buyers, folks I was working with were told, in writing and on record, it would take a month for them if they bought it to get control.
But if the other side got it, they were gonna get it instantly.
So that's this system.
That's pissed off the American people and causes giant political awakening and realignment, not just here, but globally and the giant landslide of President Trump.
And so sure enough, I get a call at 737 this morning or 727.
And by my lawyers, people who just met with the US trustee in Austin down the road at a hotel conference room.
And they said, we're coming to shut it down right now.
It's gonna be off the air, no hard feelings.
We wanna meet with Alex Jones at 830 in the morning.
It was a mile away.
Some of the crew slept here because they knew this was coming.
I told them it was.
I get here.
I go on the air at 8 AM. And I've been on the air for an hour.
They are in the building.
They told the office manager, and they're calling me right now, that they have ordered the IT providers to cut all the IT off, to shut Infowars down, banned out video, and to pull the plug on everything right now.
And I had the witnesses in there that just were told this, buy them.
I could get with a live camera right now and go show you the US trustee and then the auctioneers and all the people here.
And so this is historic.
They did not buy it.
The judge has not certified it.
They changed the last minute how the auction worked.
This is ridiculous.
And so we've set up the Alex Jones Network with great sponsors.
As a backup, we have a mini studio.
The bigger studio is almost done.
It's down the road from these offices.
It's owned by other folks.
They'll have big trouble shutting that down quick, though they'll try.
They filed months ago in federal court to own the name of Alex Jones if they were able to buy it.
They tried to get it that day with the judge.
They actually filed in federal court, the US trustee with the Democratic Party.
Law firms, they said, quote, the 13th Amendment against Indigenous Serpitude and Slavery does not apply to Mr.
Jones.
It applies even more to public figures.
They said they own my likeness.
I did not sign a 360 record deal like Prince did with Sony where they did own his name.
You can contract away your rights, but I never did.
It's absolutely an affront, 100% ridiculous.
It's a giant power grab.
The judge shut that down and said, no, I'm not giving you his name and stuff.
And real Alex Jones on X, that's his private account.
And the judge stopped that, but they wanted that in the takeover.
That just happened.
They said because their mission is to shut us down, to silence us.
I have a short compilation if we have time, it's three minutes long of them saying that in Connecticut and Texas in the rigged court cases where I was found guilty by judges in default.
And they had show trials literally scripted and run by HBO with scripts in the judge's hands.
And I went there to expose it with show trials, didn't realize it was a complete show trial, the likes of which never been seen in the world to my knowledge, where it's actually an HBO production run by HBO. They have bitten off way more than they can chew.
This is so incredibly historic.
The Streisand effect is in maximum effect.
And we are victorious.
We have forced their hand to do this in an absolutely insane ham-fisted maneuver.
But yes, it's being confirmed now that they're gonna cut the power.
So that's where we are any minute.
The power will be cut off.
There's a few little surprises there, but I'm gonna just stop right there.
Because we've been anticipating this because we're not naive.
We know the enemy we're up against.
We're not stupid.
We're not gas lit.
And it's not just Steve Bannon who's street smart and Alex Jones is street smart.
It's now the American people that are street smart, and we're in a historic moment.
And so everybody can follow me at Real Alex Jones.
Everybody can follow me at the new Alex Jones Network at AJNLive.
We have the satellites.
They're pointed at the radio and TV stations where the contract is signed.
We're waiting to flip the switch.
That will happen.
There may be a hiccup on the radio and TV stations today.
But most of us, we have to tell them where the new feed is.
But my affiliate relations man who's been here 22 years, John Harmon, is calling them right now.
We didn't want to panic anybody or jump the gun.
We wanted to just step off of our sinking ship.
Like John Paul Jones, as he took the larger, with twice the troops, British ship.
When his ship was sinking, they said, would you like to surrender?
He said, I've not yet begun to fight.
I've only begun to fight.
And then they took the ship, tied their sinking ship to it, saved both ships, and took both ships found under the US Navy.
And so we are literally sinking, tied up to the new boat.
And we're taking both ships right now.
Steve Bannon, God bless you, my friend.
It's so great you answered.
I know you're very busy because I feel like kindred spirit with you because we've been in basically the same position.
And we're the only people that have been persecuted anywhere close to Trump.
So I wanted to get your gravitas at this moment.
We are still on air.
They can pull the plug in a minute.
So I'm going to give you the floor right now because they're now in the control room.
They're in the control room.
Imperial troops are through the glass.
So don't leave.
I've got to go talk to them.
I'll come right back.
You've got the floor, sir.
You've got the comm.
steve bannon
Okay, I've got the deck in the con.
Taking it on the Bonhomme Richard, which is John Paul Jones' ship, as Alex Jones basically does a 21st century version of John Paul Jones.
He has not yet begun to fight.
We'll do some producing here.
If the InfoWars team there can put the cameras, I would love to see the Imperial troops.
I think it's very important to put their faces.
Let's make them infamous.
I think it's very important for people that broke into today, let's put the camera on them and see what tough guys they are.
Yeah, let's see who these guys are.
Maybe we can actually interview a couple of them, put a mic in front of them, ask them why are they doing this when it looks like this hasn't been certified.
The process here was an auction project.
I've done tons of bankruptcy work at my firm after I left Goldman Sachs, a lot of restructuring work.
I have never seen a process like this in my entire life.
Bankruptcy processes are normally very orderly and always looking at the company that's going through bankruptcy or being sold in some sort of court-sponsored auction.
My understanding is that Roger Stone and others had taken a long time to put together a very competitive bid that I think had no financing outs.
And I think the court owes it to the American people to see what the bids were.
And if the Stone or other People who are affiliated with Alex actually put a bid in that was competitive or higher.
Right now, Alex is over there.
Hopefully, we're coming back.
They cut the cameras off.
It's back to me.
Let's go.
I want to go live.
I want to pick up their camera feed.
We don't need to see me, right?
As great as I look now, right?
Let's go back to Alex Jones.
Yeah, I want to go to Alex Jones.
Come on, Denver.
Focus.
Focus.
Let's do a live shot.
Can't do a live shot.
They have their control room.
Do we have any shot at all?
Okay, fine.
The control room.
To get you up to date, I talked to Alex just moments before we came live, and he said, hey, they've come into our lobby.
They've come into the company.
They're in the control room.
They're going to take this over.
They're going to pull the plug.
You're here for the last historic few moments of broadcasting of Infowars.
It's been one of the great platforms in the MAGA movement in the Trump revolution.
Alex Jones, I think, is in the control room now.
I guess we lost it totally.
We'll try to get it.
We're going to try to get it back.
We're doing this live.
Okay, so Alex, real quickly, the process was, so who's in the, can we put the camera on the Imperial troops that are there to shut down Infowars?
Can we get a camera on their faces and maybe, let's do that.
Let's introduce them to the nation.
I'd love to introduce these guys.
alex jones
As soon as I started talking, like an eel, the folks went back in there, but I, because there's a control room, the folks are, if you want an update, I can run out there and talk to them, but yes, yes, they are, they have ordered The IT companies, I was just talking to them to shut us down.
And then Steve, I got word that you wanted me back in the chair, so I ran in here to give you the update.
And so you're absolutely right.
And you've been a very successful businessman.
You've produced a lot of big companies and also films.
You know how the law works.
And I'm just explaining to listeners and viewers.
Have you ever heard of, they set up a public auction, people sign the contracts, it's gonna be a public auction.
Then 48 hours before they're told, now it's changed, it's secret.
We can give it to people for less money.
And that's because, yeah, they knew the different groups that were coming in that were ready to spend a lot of money.
And by extension, the Sandy Hook people, the Democratic Party would have gotten that money.
But they didn't want the money.
They wanted to shut this down.
So, I mean, again, a closed black box process And that is what has now been done, and this is gonna be before the court.
So I'm here, I'm gonna go talk to the US trustee as soon as I get time.
But we have millions and millions of people tuning in right now on X. It's exploding right now, Steve.
For me, this is part and parcel of the larger lawfare, and like you said, the dying gasp of the establishment- Hang on, hang on.
steve bannon
Yeah, but hang on, hang on a second.
I just wanna make sure.
Roger Stone and that group, or the affiliated group with you, they did put, I just want the people to know, they did put in a bid, correct?
alex jones
Here's how the law works, and we followed it absolutely to the team.
I could talk to people that said they were interested, and they could say, well, if we were for free speech and all this, would you work with us?
And I said, yes, that's it.
I don't know.
They said they did.
I don't know.
They signed on disclosures.
I don't know if they bid or what they bid.
I was already working with another group that I've worked with for seven years that are great folks.
I knew they put in a bid.
I was allowed to know that, but I did not know what the amount was, and I still don't.
But they talked to Chris Murray, the US trustee, and so did my lawyers.
And the key question was, well, was it bigger?
And he said it was competitive, which no.
Because he put in Monday afternoon in the new rules, the goalpost being moved a million miles, that it will be the largest bidder.
We'll just open the envelope, the biggest one gets it, no process.
So the good guys couldn't outbid it, so it's not really an auction.
So it went from being an auction to not being an auction.
And the proviso, he can sell it to somebody for less.
And so they just think that The judge is gonna certify this.
And if Judge Lopez, appointed by Trump, not done me any favors, but he did fire the US trustees that tried to shut us down in late May and June with no court orders.
Remember that?
People thought that was unbelievable.
They later came in court and said, yeah, we tried to shut down without an order, judge.
The judge said, why?
They said this is a security issue.
And Patrick McGill, the CRO under the US trustee, the judge asked him over and over.
He goes, well, what happened with guns?
Well, I really can't say, but there were guns.
Well, there's concealed carry, we got some gun safes, we got armed security here, it's Texas.
And the judge said, so?
And our listeners, some of them didn't even believe this happened until they saw it in Bloomberg, AP Reuters, and on national TV later at a court hearing.
Because it is unbelievable.
I mean, Mayorkas with Kamala Harris disappearing 325,000 children on record in the Senate report and destroying their identities and ghosting them, not losing them, abducting them.
That's hard to believe too.
The global is trying to kill Trump twice, we know of, is crazy too.
Starting World War III with Russia, crazy, hard to believe too.
Announcing that there's no X and Y chromosomes, crazy, happening.
Teaching five-year-olds secretly in public schools about transgenderism and not telling the parents, crazy but true.
You obviously had executive privilege under the Constitution, cut and dry.
Nobody that's worked in the White House can be made to testify to Congress.
You, put in prison, hard to believe, true.
All of this is going on, and it's part and parcel, but a large part of the public is not naive anymore, Steve.
So with the massive audience, I want to get back to us, and I don't know how much time you have, but I wanted to get your take on this, what you think I should do.
Should I let them buffalo and bluff me out of the building, or just force them to cut the power?
steve bannon
No, force them to cut the power.
Alex Jones, the only way Alex Jones and InfraWars can leave the air is in a dramatic Gatadamaran, right?
Make them cut it.
Make them cut it.
Make them force them.
Let's get the camera on them and go in there and see what...
These guys are all tough guys when they don't have cameras in their faces.
They want to destroy you.
They want to destroy the folks at InfraWars.
They want to take down one of the great brands.
And the audience should understand.
The Onion is the front group that bought it with backing from other sources...
But The Onion is going to turn into a parody site, thinking they can mock us.
They're going to make fake news and the vitamin supplements that you sell, Alex, and other people sell.
They think they're going to be really funny.
Let's show how funny it is.
Walk in the control room, put the freaking camera up in their face, and let's get a name, rank, and serial number.
Imperial troops are going to come in there and think they're going to jackboot what's going on.
Let's see the jackboot.
Let's see the polish on the jackboot.
Let's see the heel of the jackboot.
They're nothing but Gestapo.
This is the administrative state and the deep state's Gestapo.
So they want to do it?
Put the freaking camera on them.
Let's get their names.
Let's get their ranks.
Let's put their photos all over the place.
They're going to be tough guys.
alex jones
You can see they're not so tough.
Absolutely.
As you said, the hunted were now becoming the hunted.
Can you repeat what you said in New York two days ago, Boris?
steve bannon
The hunted are now become the hunters, and you're a hunter.
You're a carnivore.
So these guys are so tough, they're all a bunch of pencil necks.
Your staff should put the camera on there and say, hey, can I have your name?
Can I have, you know, give me your social security number, right?
Let's do it.
If they're going to shut down Infowars, make them shut down Infowars.
You should stay up to the exact moment they pull the plug.
And once you pull the plug, you go up the road and you start the Alex Jones Show.
But this is a historic moment.
For many years, you were really the only platform out there that were delivering this information.
By the way, and make sure people understand this, the American people voted on their form of democracy on Tuesday in the real form of democracy that we represent for this constitutional republic.
And guess what?
We won and they lost.
The jackboots are in your control room right now, got blown out by the American people.
The American people do not support this.
They do not support this.
They do not support these Gestapo tactics of trying to shut down news sites.
And so let's force them to shut it down.
Force them to shut it.
Force them to pull the frickin' plug on it.
And pull the frickin' plug on global TV. The only way this is going to stop is when you stop it.
You're not going to stop it by being nice.
You're not going to stop it by just rolling over.
The only way it's going to stop is you must stop it.
And you can stop it right now.
Have your team walk in there and say, pull the frickin' plug.
The last photo you show is those guys pulling the plug on Infowars and Alex Jones.
Let the whole world see it.
Sir.
alex jones
Absolutely, we just got another 100,000 followers at Real Alex Jones in the last 20 minutes.
Everybody's to follow us at Real Alex Jones.
And at the backup, they're trying to take that at AJNLive, warroom.org.
We're all in this together.
And yeah, I'm gonna go talk to these folks here very, very soon.
Again, ladies and gentlemen, I've also learned more information while you were talking, they were popping into my ear.
While we have such an exponential, gigantic audience, it's always huge.
And so we're all just not in competition.
We all love each other.
We're all like brothers.
We're all in the same army.
But Steve, all the persecution of you has got you up.
I'm seeing you reach like 100 million people on.
It's just insane today now.
Trump has exploded everywhere.
We're getting 100 million views a day just of Trump clips we put on Alex Jones.
That's conservative, by the way.
I mean, it's total warpath.
We're winning everywhere.
Populists are being elected everywhere.
Globalists are taking the mask off, trying tyranny.
It's only backfiring.
Spend a few minutes, sir, on Trump and what's happening with the swamp.
I like some of the appointments, some of the appointments I'm worried about, but I trust Trump overall.
I know you're advising him.
What are we facing here with, my goodness, 60-something days to his inauguration?
Give us the battle plan, General.
steve bannon
Well, right now, you've got to seize the institutions.
We can't wait until Inauguration Day.
And I think you're seeing by these appointments, I think you're seeing by the appointments, particularly the three yesterday, Pete Hicks, Seth, over at Defense, of course, Tulsi, at DNI. And remember, at DNI, CIA, everybody, as you know, Alex, all 17, think about it for a second.
We have 17 intelligence agencies.
Just chew on that for a second.
Tulsi's fantastic there.
She'll start deconstructing that.
And, of course, the great Matt Gaetz.
And here's what the purpose is.
The American people rendered a verdict last Tuesday on Nancy Pelosi and Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and Merrick Garland's form of democracy.
They made it the number one issue.
They made it the number one issue.
So we had a referendum.
That referendum in a sweeping landslide.
Both houses of Congress and the presidency in blowout numbers of different demographic groups, different ethnic groups.
Basically the backbone of America.
The credential elite, the college credential elite overwhelmingly voted against us.
And the working class and the middle class, the people that have built this nation, the nation builders, The leading nation builder, Donald Trump.
And what they voted for is to stop...
Exactly what's happening to you right now.
They come in in a jackbooted way.
Look, there's one way, you know, your legal situation with these people is your legal situation as people.
And there's processes that you should go through.
But to know it's a secret, it's a secret auction, and now you got the jackboots in there, they're threatening your staff, and they're going to sit there and pull it on national TV. Make them pull it.
The way, these people are cowards.
This is why I say with Gates going forward, we just need total transparency.
We should have the most massive declassification dump right after Trump takes his hand off the King James Bible.
The biggest massive classification documents dump in American history, and it should continue on.
Sunshine and transparency...
And putting the camera up in their grill and getting their name is what's going to stop them.
And so that's why we're honored to be part of what looks like the last broadcast of InfoWars as you segue over to the Alex Jones Show.
But InfoWars has meant so much to people in this movement, right, for so many decades because you were kind of the – you were the crier in the wilderness for many, many years.
Right?
Is really the only guy up on what was then considered TV. So in streaming, you know, as we know, now the podcast and the streaming services and all of us are looked at as fringe and marginal and crazy.
We set the narrative now, not just for the media, we set the narrative for the nation.
And they're sitting there, oh, we control CBS, we control 60 Minutes, we control ABC and MSNBC. It doesn't matter anymore.
CNN, they're all irrelevant.
Totally irrelevant.
And one of the ways that they're trying to fight back is to start to pull the plug on people like you.
They've already tried to intimidate all the sponsors, all the advertisers, all the banks, the credit cards, the service providers.
Hey, guess what?
You lost.
We won and you lost.
And elections have consequences.
Elections have consequences.
And you're going to be on the business end of these consequences in the days, weeks, and months ahead, sir.
unidentified
Alex, why are you going to...
alex jones
Steve, while you were just talking, I've been listening to you and Wargaming...
steve bannon
Yes, sir.
alex jones
While you were just talking, Steve, InfoWars has been taken down.
So let's try to go to InfoWars.com, Cruz, show a browser, put it on screen.
InfoWars.com has been taken down.
No court order, nothing.
Look at that.
unidentified
Wow.
alex jones
So there you go, folks.
Been telling you how real this is.
We've been fighting tooth and nail to stay on air.
And I just got word from the US trustee, they've left the building, Steve.
So they heard what you just said and they left the building.
But the site's down and they say they're going to Houston to get an emergency hearing before the judge.
Exactly, I'd like the judge when they tried a month ago in court to say they own my name and own real Alex Jones.
And they wanted it taken then without even a sale.
The judge said no, I want this all worked out.
I don't want litigation after this.
You don't own Alex Jones.
And all I'm saying is, the buyers I was working with were told one month after the money cleared, they would get it.
And the judge had to certify it.
But then with these people, the onion, because they're God, Soros or whoever gave them the money, doesn't have to do that, Steve.
And all I'm saying is I followed the rules.
And then they changed the auction at the last moment, made it secret and won't tell you.
So this is wild, Steve.
steve bannon
What do you make of these developments?
unidentified
Hang on.
steve bannon
But they have a fiduciary responsibility, not simply to you.
They have a fiduciary responsibility, obviously, to the people that sue you to get the most money.
They also have a fiduciary responsibility to those who actually took the time and effort to put in bids.
It's not a free thing to put in a bid.
You've got to get advisors and consultants and all that.
They have a fiduciary responsibility.
alex jones
You have to put a deposit down.
They may have to put a deposit down.
steve bannon
Yes.
Yeah, a free process that's transparent.
And not in the dark of night.
This is what they did in just pulling InfoWars down.
By the way, I'm greatly honored to have been the last guest of Alex Jones on InfoWars.
But I'm glad we forced their hand.
I'm glad we said, hey, you got to pull the plug?
Pull the plug.
Alex Jones is up in broadcasting, right?
Pull the plug.
Alex Jones is going to get shot off the bridge.
He ain't leaving the bridge.
Just like John Paul Jones on the Bonhomme Richard.
He ain't leaving the bridge.
And now he's going to hook up to something bigger.
Tell people, let's get to how we segue over to your new entity.
Tell us about it.
How do people get there?
What are you going to do?
alex jones
Well...
They heard you say, go talk to them or whatever, and I was just gonna go talk to them first.
I'm a friendly guy, cuz I know they're just being, they're errand boys, grocers.
And it's like Colonel Kurtz says in that great film Apocalypse Now, he asked the Green Beret that's come to kill him, he says, what are you?
And he goes, I'm a soldier.
He goes, no, you're a grocer, an errand boy sent to collect a debt.
And NABOPS. And that's what we're dealing with here.
And imagine being us.
Imagine them putting you in prison for no reason.
Imagine being Trump.
Imagine being me and my crew.
Imagine being my family they've attacked.
And these people just go along with it.
And they don't understand they're an extension of it.
So I don't know.
I mean, they got Infowars shut down, God knows how, and without a court order.
Just saying he has a right to sell it.
Yeah, but through a process you do that we were told to follow.
So it's discriminatory for us to follow the process to the letter, the bargain to the letter.
And then they don't follow the process.
That's wrong.
And so I don't even know if I'm going to go to the Alex Jones Network right now and do my regular show from there.
I guess I'll continue on.
Harris will come into his studio.
I'll be in the studio 20 feet through that wall.
And I guess they'll call the power company or something.
But I guess since the feds have left the building, they're gonna have a really big problem with those giant gas generators out there.
So, I mean, this is a military operation of the American people.
And by that, I mean, this is a hardened facility designed for just these moments.
So here we are, and this is just the culmination of my 30 plus years on air.
This will stride and affect everything we're doing into the stratosphere.
And as long as they can't trick us and Jedi mind trick us into thinking we're beaten, we're not.
I mean, just like Trump, talk about the greatest comeback history, the greatest comeback story in history and just President Trump and just how big this is, breaking the back of the globalists that thought they demoralized us, Steve Bannon.
And I know you gotta go soon, but I just wanted to get more of your take on this.
steve bannon
Yeah, I mean, obviously the greatest comeback in American history.
But it's predicated upon this kind of new media ecosystem that was able to amplify his message and drive his message.
Because he had no big organization.
It's just Trump being Trump.
He had a very small campaign staff and not a lot of money.
And it was a four-year effort to get back in the game.
As you know, he started immediately upon leaving Andrews Air Force Base as a handful of people on the tarmac.
So it's fantastic.
I think now the key thing is we're going to lose Alex here.
The key thing is to make sure that we get as many people as possible, Alex, to understand where you're going and so we can continue to drive that there's no gap.
Between your broadcasting Infowars on the Alex Jones Show and the new entity that you're going to have the Alex Jones Show.
Yes, sir, that was the most critical question.
alex jones
That was the most critical question you asked five minutes ago in classic Alex Jones style.
I went to the whole thought process and kind of began at the end instead of beginning at the beginning.
I don't know because they're getting an emergency hearing because, yeah, the judge needs to certify this and then I'll abide by it, okay?
And so now, while you're talking, I'm listening, but I'm multitasking.
They're getting this emergency hearing and stuff.
So who knows, they may have jumped the gun shutting off Infowars and making these orders and are thinking now, wait, do we really have this authority?
So I'm gonna try to be good cop here and go be nice.
I'm told that the feds have turned around and are coming back to the building now.
Now they wanna talk.
And so I'm gonna Let you have the floor as long as you need to.
I know you've got your own huge shows to do.
I'm gonna have Harrison come in here as soon as you're done.
You might want to say one minute, five minutes, or whatever.
But yes, in case we're shut down right now, here it is.
Infowars is gone for now.
Bandit videos for gone.
Back when we didn't have X or anything, that was massive, still massive.
That's shut down.
So we're now the AJ network, the Alex Jones network, AJN Live.
That's when you put it on screen, just at, that's on X, at, AJNLive, follow us there, because they're trying to get real Alex Jones.
Follow me at real Alex Jones.
And then the new network, the new studios are humming and ready, jacked into that, literally just three miles from here.
We're ready to go there.
Quite frankly, Joe Rogan Studios is a mile and a half away.
This is inspiring him so much that who knows what will happen there.
I'm just saying they really are, really screwed the pooch on this one.
He's gonna get really pissed, is pissed.
Tucker's pissed, everybody's pissed, my phone's blowing up.
I know Congress is getting pissed.
I know Trump's gonna get pissed, has been following this and was, let's just say, watching it closely.
And let's just say people very close to the big guy were heavily involved and were just, you don't even get to be involved in this.
The Democrats just came into the trough and got in front of it all.
And that's not how America works.
And so we're not just gonna sit here and take this.
We're gonna politically, nonviolently, legally, legislatively.
And I'm sure the new Attorney General is going to be very interested in all this has been going on with the Justice Department admitting on the stand they cooked up all these lawsuits against me.
So you find us at X at Real Alex Jones and at AGN Live.
And the sites don't have a bunch of news on them yet.
They're just placeholders with links.
But as of tonight, the video feeds will be posted there probably even sooner.
There already are actually articles, everything you've seen at Infowars at alexjones.network.
And of course, Real Alex Jones has its URL counterpart, realalexjones.com, alexjones.live.
Takes you right to a page where all the sponsors and products and donation pages are, alexjones.live.
And this is it, folks.
I've been true.
I've never backed down.
I've never given in.
I've never faltered.
I've never wavered.
But I could give out.
We are at a tenth of a tank in the fight.
In the battle, if we were a F-18, we just knocked out massive enemy forces, but we've got to land again, get fuel and reloaded in the info war.
So people are waiting on the tarmac when we land or use the NASCAR analogy, we're three links or three laps ahead of the guys.
And there's only five laps left, but the engine's on fire.
And I'm coming into the pit stop.
They got to get the tires on.
They got to get the gas in the engine.
They got a fire extinguisher, the engine before the belts melt off.
And then I'll put this son of a bitch back on the road and drive it in to the checkered flag.
But now is the time to come to the aid of your country as we turn the tide, as we have the initiative, as we're winning.
You've got to back warroom.org.
You've got to back The operation we're launching with the Alex Jones Network.
This is critical.
They are desperate.
And this is the time that tribesmen souls.
This is not the time for the summer patriots, but the winter soldiers.
And it's just so amazing.
So everybody, tell everybody, bat signal.
Alexjones.network, realalexjones.com, alexjones.live, and follow us on The Mighty X with the incredible game changer, Elon Musk.
Bannon, you just sign off whenever you want, at least three minutes so I can get Harrison Smith in here to take over.
I'll find out more, and then I will come back.
But thank you for coming on.
It was mint in the stars to happen.
steve bannon
I tell you what.
We're going to jump, but as soon as you get back, find out the information and we'll have you back on.
We'll go ahead and jump and we're going to take a couple of commercial breaks and get cleaned up here.
So we'll, Alex, proud to be the last shot on Infowars, that amazing site, the amazing show.
Honored to have you to be part of it as they pulled the plug.
But you find out more from the trustee and text me and we'll get you back up, okay?
alex jones
God bless you, Steve Bannon.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother.
This is the way they want to roll.
This is the reason Matt Gaetz has got to be Attorney General of the United States, and we've got to have a superstar announcement on the FBI. The jackbooted Gestapo tactics of these people, not only has it got to stop, it is going to stop.
This kind of brute force, you're going to see this when President Trump, you're going to see this in the confirmation hearings, you're going to see this as they try to roll President Trump on Capitol Hill, as the administrative state and the deep state fight him.
Because remember, what's my watchword?
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Seize the institutions.
Because they do not intend...
Elections have no bearing on these people.
They're all democracy, democracy, democracy.
Look at what they're yammering on MSNBC and crying on MSNBC. Hey, you wanted democracy, you got democracy.
And you got a democracy suppository.
And the most important part of the suppository is that the credentialed class, all these snowflakes from colleges, everybody's got a college degree and running around They all voted for you.
And we had the backbone of this country vote for us.
And hey, we won.
And we've got the muscle.
So what do they do now?
They're not going to just sit there, I tell you people, they're just not going to sit there and pat you on the head and toss you the keys and say, isn't that amazing?
Donald Trump and his tremendous campaign in the war room and Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk, all these guys, got 50% plus more votes in Pennsylvania.
And people in rural Wisconsin turned out, and you won Wisconsin.
And oh, guess what?
The Arab Americans and Muslim Americans in Dearborn either didn't vote or voted for Trump.
Isn't that great that you wanted democracy, but they're going to have every excuse in the world, and now you're going to get down to it.
Because as they look at it, we have the courts, we have the executive branch, we have the legislative branch.
Now we don't have them totally because yes, there are the globalist establishment of the Republican Party.
It still has total power to wit.
Oh, let me look.
I'm going to pick a random paper.
The Financial Times of London.
Okay?
Look at this headline.
Republicans snub Trump allies by electing Thune as leader in the Senate.
The Financial Times and the Economists are owned by the same people.
Look at that headline.
They're upping your grill.
That's their holding pattern.
That's their rearguard action.
McConnell's rearguard action.
The rest of it's going to be a slog.
unidentified
Okay?
steve bannon
And this is why this cadre, this vanguard, this audience, this posse, this is why you're absolutely essential to this kind of revolutionary moment.
This is like 1774, 1775.
If there wasn't a hardcore group, and at that time it was probably 10% of the country, at the top of the game the Patriots only had about a third.
A third were Tories, a third were in the middle as human nature kind of say, hey, how's this going to play out?
I'm going to back the side that wins and I'm going to wait to back it.
I'm going to wait till I know it's going to win.
This is the revolutionary moment we're in.
They do not intend, they do not intend to turn over this government to President Trump.
They do not.
They'll be forced to, but they do not intend.
Look at the Matt Gaetz situation.
Matt Gaetz at the defense, Matt Gaetz at Justice, Tulsi Gabbard at D&I, the big three, the three horsemen of the apocalypse, announced yesterday.
Because they realize in announcing that they're going after the heart of the administrative and deep state.
And look at the, you know, did you hear anything where President Trump's actually the president and won in a landslide and won all three houses and they just called the house yesterday?
Doesn't he get to pick who he wants to pick?
Doesn't he get to pick the ministers he wants to run his government?
No.
Not just that, remember, roughly two and a half million On civil bureaucrats, two north million uniform military services.
It gets you about four and a half or five, let's say.
I'm using some rough numbers here.
The contractors, and this is what the contractors are so important.
There's 18 million overall contract employees.
A lot of these are just service personnel, but there's, I don't know, four or five million real folks they've gotten off the balance sheet because they don't want to pay pensions, they don't want to pay health care, but they pay higher prices to get them.
So you got, I don't know, 8 to 10 million folks doing things.
They're not going to sit there and say, oh, we love the fact that you've got MAGA. MAGA has a different thing.
MAGA wants to deconstruct the administrative state because we want to get back to a government that the framers of the Constitution and the founders and the revolutionary generation fought for.
And that is as small as apparatus as you need to kind of make sure things are organized and coordinated.
Not to be rulers over you, which is what this is metastasized to.
And if you think, and this is why the Alex Jones thing is so emblematic, and I'm not getting in the middle of the justification of the auction, all that.
That's a legal issue that's been played out.
I'm talking about the House style and what they want to do.
You know, silent...
There was a group of conservatives, I think, that put in...
At least they talked about putting in a fully financed bid.
We don't know that because of secret.
We don't know it's competitive.
We know the onion.
And they're up in...
Here's what they're going to do.
Because they think they do...
Oh, we're going to turn it into a parody site.
And we're going to mock all the fake news.
We're going to mock all the parodies of the ads.
Hey, have at it.
You think we care?
We think we care?
Hey, no offense.
The whole left is a parody.
unidentified
Right?
steve bannon
The whole left's a parody.
It's all performative.
Because without controlling the prosecutors and the attorney generals and all these AGs, and without controlling really, you have no punch.
Where are your people?
You got punched right in the mouth.
And you haven't picked yourself up.
And we decapitated an entire generation of your leadership.
The old guard, the Nancy Pelosi's, the hammer, gone, irrelevant.
They're all turned on each other.
But you have to stand up.
This is one of the reasons I went to prison, is that if you don't stand up to them and say, bring it.
Remember, McCabe and Weissman are wetting themselves on national television.
Because they understand the crimes that they've done.
And that's why they're sitting there.
You know, Weissman, you can see how nervous he is, how scared he is.
You can see the fear right coming through his eyes.
That's why we play so many clips.
Because he was central to all this.
And McCabe was the deputy of Comey.
He knows the crimes.
He knows as soon as Cash, whoever's eventually selected, Get over there working with Attorney General Gates.
They know the crimes they've done.
They understand it.
They know what they've done.
That's why he's so nervous, saying people are having discussions about leaving the country.
They get it.
But stripped of that power, they're nothing.
And they're also cowards.
Look at the courage.
One of the things I saw at Danbury was the courage of the Right to Life movement, and I'm telling you.
These people are so courageous.
It is moving.
All of you folks have given to a right to life or knocked doors or work precincts.
The folks that get in front of those abortion centers and pray the rosaries, and they are Catholic Catholics.
You know, I am a degenerate sinner.
They are Catholic Catholics.
To sit there and pray the rosary.
And then to be rolled up by the FBI and rolled up by these attorneys and rolled up by the attorney general and main justice and have people in their 70s, women, put into these prisons.
And these guys not put into camps because they work these charges, they're violent for praying the rosary.
And they roll them up and put them in low security prisons, which are damn dangerous.
That is not only going to stop, we're going to get and we're going to investigate everybody that did that.
And that's why McKay's nervous, and that's why Weissman's nervous, and they should be nervous.
But you show your fear.
Trump doesn't show any fear.
Heck, you tried to take him out.
You tried to assassinate him.
And he stood up, shot in the back of the head, on the ear.
He stood up and gave a power move and said, give me the mic.
You don't think young men throughout the country saw that and go, hey, I don't know his economic policies.
I don't really know much about the guy, but that guy's a leader.
That guy's a president of the United States.
I'm in.
I will tell you, Danbury Federal Prison, the African-American young men and the Hispanic young men, they go, hey, I want that guy.
That guy's a gladiator.
I'm for him, and I'm not for her.
I'm tired of being lectured to by her type.
These unctuous college graduates.
Always remember what happened on Tuesday.
It was a referendum in this nation, in the United States of America, one of the most important referendums we ever had.
And the referendum that they hit us time and time and time again with all control of all state power.
And all corporate power.
All of it.
About democracy.
They made democracy the number one issue.
And the American people rendered a verdict.
And that verdict was, we kind of like this Trump guy, and we're now starting to understand why he's got this following called MAGA, which loves him.
Yes, loves him.
unidentified
There's a deep, deep, deep, deep love for President Trump.
steve bannon
And why is it?
unidentified
Because we've seen the courage.
steve bannon
He's the American Cincinnatus.
He's returned from the plow to leave his home, which had been peaceful.
If he had stayed in Mar-a-Lago and bought more golf courses and built more buildings, none of this would have happened.
But he didn't.
He came back because he understood in that kind of American grit and determination, the stick-to-itiveness, and just quite frankly, old-fashioned Scotch orneriness.
Might I add that John Paul Jones was Scottish?
Yep.
And on the bridge of the Bonhomme Richard, when it was shot out, and the gun smoke, you couldn't see anybody through the gun smoke, and the masks were shot off.
And the British Royal Navy commander of the vessel, Seraphis, I think, said, can you strike and we'll make sure we save you guys?
And comes out with nothing.
We have not yet begun to fight.
That is Donald J. Trump.
And that is what people responded to.
unidentified
And the only way to stop the jackboots is to stop the jackboots.
steve bannon
History shows you that.
You can't negotiate with Nazis.
You can't negotiate with Nazis.
And they're Nazis.
They're fascists.
You see it.
It's a jackboot.
You will never break us.
And we know the stakes.
And we've won.
And now we're going to close the deal and we're going to take over this government.
And we're going to drive you, Pharaoh's army, towards the Red Sea.
unidentified
Trip break.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
steve bannon
Welcome back.
I want to bring in Jeff Clark now.
Jeff's going to hang with me for a while.
I think we're going to get Brian Kennedy the next hour, Peter Navarro.
Sergio Gore, Don Jr.'s partner over at Winning Team Publishing, was announced last night the New York Times leaked that Sergio Gore, who's been on the show a lot, is the presidential personnel officer.
And so the 3,000, actually all 4,000, but really the 3,000, the staff up, It goes through Sergio's office, and I think Taylor Botowich is both the comms director, and I think he's also going to have a role in personnel.
So this is incredibly important for the training.
And my understanding is the objective, I think the most, remember I talk about the landing teams, beachhead teams, the most has ever happened is I think 1,200, and I think they're going to try to top that on day one.
Birch Gold, are times turbulent?
You just saw live the last moments of Infowars, the famous Infowars, with some jackbooted fascists coming in and pulling the plug, and kind of their in-your-face style.
It's only going to get more turbulent, folks, with the financial crisis that we've got coming.
President Trump trying to jam through the last chance of a growth strategy for this country.
Kind of a supply side.
Deregulation tax cut to kind of drive growth.
Because if you don't drive growth, it's kind of game over.
Just the way the math works.
Birchgold.com slash ban the end of the dollar empire.
Remember, we don't want to see the end of the dollar empire.
We're explaining to you how the elites in this country are doing it.
That's what you have to understand.
But more importantly for you and your personal, whether it's an IRA, 401k, all of it.
Phillip Patrick and the team are there to talk to you and to guide you through this.
And they get all kind of information, pamphlets, and tons of great stuff.
So go to birchgold.com slash bandit and talk to Phillip Patrick and the team.
Also, I'm very concerned always about your home.
You know, 90% of your net worth is tied up in this.
Make sure no one can get to your title.
If they get to your title, they're going to take out a second mortgage.
It's either sell the home or take a second mortgage out.
And you're not going to get out of paying that second mortgage back because the hard money lenders or the bank do not want to hear your tale of woe.
They said, hey, it sounds like a personal problem.
You should have taken care of that before.
Well, Home Title Lock and Natalie Dominguez and the team over there are prepared to walk you through those steps.
So hometitlelock.com slash bandit.
Go check it out.
Talk to the team at Home Title Lock.
Brother Jeff Clark, talk to me about what you just saw.
This is the lawless nature of the jackbooted Nazis that we're up against, sir.
Your thoughts?
jeffrey clark
Well, Steve, thanks for having me, and it is a historic day.
The day after Matt Gaetz has been named to be the future Attorney General of the United States, which I also want to talk about, and also the day of the seizure of Alex Jones' Infowars.
And look, I heard you mention, not surprisingly, that when you were at Goldman Sachs, you worked on a lot of restructurings.
I worked on restructurings at my law firm.
I worked on big ones like the United Airlines bankruptcy and a major satellite company and how that interfaced with the FCC. Lots of complicated proceedings.
steve bannon
But hang on, but hang on, but Clark, you're always, you're too modest.
Jeff Clark was also the assistant attorney general in the Trump administration that had both the civil division and the criminal division.
I don't think it's ever been done.
So you had all the lawyers in the civil division reported to you.
You're clearly an expert in this area because you had the United States government's lawyers that kind of interface with the bankruptcy courts and the bankruptcy guys report to you.
Did you not, sir?
jeffrey clark
So, Steve, I had the civil division and the environment division, and I did actually, as one of my closing acts at the end of the Trump administration, argue a case about the U.S. bankruptcy trustees, who are the same folks here who are bedeviling Alex Jones and went in and shut him down.
And look, as you were describing, they have, you know, in connection with the private trustees that are set up and that they supervise, We're good to go.
You know, that's a serious legal issue that will need to be examined.
I was looking at who the current director is of the U.S. trustee program.
It's a woman named Tara Twomey.
And you better believe that when the Trump administration starts, That she's going to get investigated, that how this bankruptcy of Alex Jones was investigated, how it was dealt with, is going to be investigated.
This is something that hopefully the judge will shut this down and say, look, I've got to review this.
Don't do anything precipitous.
But if he doesn't, because he's been working on these proceedings for a long time and judges eventually get to the point where they want to get things off their docket.
You know, what the trustees seem to be doing here to me, you know, and these are people who are part of the Justice Department, right?
I don't think that's well known that the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee Program is part of the Justice Department.
The Justice Department's span is truly enormous.
You know, that needs to be investigated.
And I think that we can probably count on Matt Gaetz as Attorney General to do that kind of deep investigation, Steve.
And so they're trying to clearly rush this out and shut Alex Jones down as a kind of demonstration of they're still in charge for the next 67 days or so.
And, you know, they could live to regret that.
And so I think people should be looking over their shoulder and thinking about whether they really want to be doing this to shut down an important media operation.
steve bannon
No, they want to shut it down too in this critical part of transition as we start to announce President Trump's team and we focus on seizing the institutions.
That's what I did.
Jeff, can you hang with me?
I want you to hang through the beginning of the next hour.
I got Jeff Clark.
The great Brian Kennedy is also going to join us.
Navarro is going to be in.
We're going to talk a little bit about Sergio Gore and the importance of Sergio Gore and what he means for this entire process.
So we're going to take a short commercial break.
What I'm going to do right here is make sure I get all our reads in, everything we're supposed to do.
Well, I guess I'll do that next hour.
Critically important.
These days, and I realize some people have taken off because they've got places to go, they want to relax, for the hardcore cadre in the vanguard.
These are some of the most important days we're going to go through because this is where they want to throw off the Trump revolution off track.
And they want Trump to play ball and pat him on the head.
You saw this in the House yesterday.
You saw it in the Senate.
There's tremendous blowback, obviously, on President Trump from the established order.
And part of that established order are the, you know, establishment Republicans.
This is why the Gates nomination, from a practical point of view, is brilliant, but also from a symbolic point of view, because he put a shot across the bow of the political culture, of the political class in the imperial capital.
I cannot emphasize enough how important that is.
Short commercial break.
We're going to be back with Jeff Clark, Brian Kennedy, Peter Navarro, all next in The War Room.
