scott galloway ▲ ● ▼
I think it comes down to a basic question.
What is America?
And my kind of economic role model is Peter Drucker.
I think an economy in America exists to create a robust middle class.
The most ascending countries over the last 20 years have been China and India.
And it's a one basic litmus test.
How many people are you bringing into the middle class?
The greatest innovation in history is not the iPhone or the semiconductor.
It's the American middle class that beat back fascism in the middle of World War II. has financed and built the greatest innovations, whether it's radar, whether it's the internet, whether it's vaccines.
The middle class in America is the greatest innovation in history.
And people like to fall back into this right-wing notion that it's naturally self-healing.
It's not.
It's an accident in history.
Typically throughout history, you have a small number of people who weaponize government.
They're very talented.
They aggregate power.
They weaponize government.
And they aggregate more and more spoils.
And then the good news is it's self-correcting.
This level of income inequality is usually self-correcting.
The bad news is the means of self-correction are typically war, famine, or revolution.
And if you want to talk about tax policy, the myth in tax policy is that the rich don't pay their taxes.
That's just not true.
The fulcrum is the following.
There's super earners and super owners.
The folks around your table are probably considered super-owners.
You make exceptional livings, but it's all current income reported on a W-2.
And if you live in New Jersey or New York, you're probably paying 48-52% tax rates.
But if you're a super-owner, I make my living starting and selling businesses.
My last business, which was sold for $160 million, I'm very transparent about money.
This gestalt or zeitgeist that people should not talk about money is nothing but an attempt to keep poor people down because rich people talk about money all the time.
It's important to be financially literate.
The first $10 million for my $160 million sale was tax-free.
My effective tax rate over the last 10 years has been 17%.
The average tax rate on the wealthiest 25 Americans is 6%.
Corporate tax rates are at their lowest point since 1939. At the same time, taxes have gone up for the super owners.
Now, the bottom 50% don't pay much federal income tax, but they pay a lot in usage and consumption taxes.
But this misdirect talking about tax rates misses the point.
It's the tax code, which has gone from 400 pages to 4,000.
And that 3,600 pages, quite frankly, is there to screw the middle class and continue to transfer more money to the super wealthy.
The fastest growing demographic group in America is not seniors.
It's not Latins.
It's billionaires.
We had 500 billionaires 10 years ago.
We now have 2,500.
So if you want to cram more and more wealth into a smaller group of people, we're on our way.
And the weird thing about America is that we support it because our superpower is our optimism.
The Achilles heel is that 99%, the bottom 99% who are getting screwed...
Don't mind these policies because they believe at some point they're going to be in that 1%.
But where are we?
We're in a country that's had unprecedented prosperity, but similar to the way William Gibson described the future.
It has not been evenly distributed.
When 40% of U.S. households are struggling with some sort of medical or dental debt, when a quarter or 20% of households with kids are food insecure.
And yet we have one man, Jensen Huang, and I like Jensen, who is now worth more than Boeing.
I mean, something is wrong here.
And just let me go to the psychology of happiness.
I think a lot about happiness because I struggle with it, Joe.
You effectively, once you get above a certain level of wealth, you get no incremental happiness.
So why on earth...
Would you not go back to a tax policy of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, where say above, pick a big number, 10 million, you actually pay more than 10%, maybe more than 20%, maybe more than 50%.
Because the difference between $30,000 a year for a household and $50,000 is enormous to the well-being of that household.
Low-income kids in low-income households have higher resting blood pressure.
But the difference between making $10 million a year and $15 million a year offers you no happiness.
But these individuals have weaponized government, and we risk revolution, whether it's CEOs being murdered in the street.
Whether it's a Me Too movement that had righteous components of it or Black Lives Matter, what are these movements?
They are targeting the wealthy.
We are in the midst of a series of small revolutions to correct income inequality.
And the reason we put an insurrectionist and a rapist in office is because for the first time in our nation's history, a 30-year-old man or woman isn't doing as well as his or her parents were at 30. Why?
Because the majority of households This is the revolutionary moment we're in.
unidentified
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.
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 at all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
unidentified
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try 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.

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Baff.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Okay, it's Wednesday, 8th January in the year of our Lord 2025.
We've got an awful lot to get to today, but I've got to start with kind of...
Here's one of the principal reasons the country's in the shape of this.
Because of those whiny bitches right there in Morning Joe, led by the big whiner, Scott Galloway.
And dude, when you're on this thing, don't lay out your psychological problems.
You know, I struggle with happiness.
I don't care what you struggle with, bro.
You know the reason that the middle class has been assaulted and the working class has been destroyed?
Galloway, you.
You.
You.
Look in the mirror and look at the problem.
It's you.
You people in that whole morning, Joe, that's the Washington consensus.
What have you guys done for you?
You've been in charge most of the time.
You were charged by thing.
What did you do?
What did you do?
And you have the gall.
To refer to President Trump as an insurrectionist and a rapist?
Screw you, dude.
I refer to the paper of record to back me up.
This is Monday's edition.
January 6th.
The four-year anniversary of Patriot's Day.
Right there.
That article by Jonathan Weissman of the New York Times takes up how Democrats lost the working class vote.
Right there.
And it lays out Robert Reich.
It goes in excruciating detail, bro, of how you used to have a working class party and starting with Clinton.
You abandon the working class.
You abandon the middle class and you never say anything about it.
I understand you don't know anything about finance or economics because you're a marketing professor.
This is how desperate they are.
They got some clown marketing professor over at that struggles with happiness.
I struggle with happiness.
I don't care.
Don't give me the psychology.
I don't care about your problems.
Take your problems somewhere else.
Your personal problems.
You know, I struggle with happiness, too.
Well, he's supposed to be empathetic.
You know, Scott, he struggles with happiness, but he's really worried about the working people.
You're not worried about anybody but your own self, the credential class.
You're the problem, bro.
When the revolution comes, and it's coming, unless you follow the path of populist nationalism, I said this over and over again, you are one of the first guys that's going to get swept up in it.
Because you and the Morning Joe cohorts had every opportunity to change things and you didn't.
And now if you got bitch slapped the second time, you're sitting there going, oh, look at this, the Democratic Party's estrangement from working class voters first became clear with Mr. Trump's upset of Hillary Clinton in 2016. What did you do in the interim?
And don't tell me Bernie Sanders, that's a pillow fight.
That's a pillow fight.
Bernie's saying it's not serious.
Every time they start talking about minimum wage, it's not serious.
It says right here, in the end, the Democratic Party didn't focus on economics.
They did some stuff, expanded the safety net, which is just getting the government to pay for stuff instead of the people who should pay for it.
But in the end, however, they bet on foreign policy, opening China to capitalism.
The donor class of the Democratic Party.
The greedy donor class, and by the way, they're in the Republican Party too.
That's why you can't look at Republicans and Democrats.
It is populist, nationalist versus globalist, elitist.
And Galloway, all you are is an apologist for a system that cannot stand, and you had every opportunity.
You and the Morning Joe crowd, you were in charge.
Year after, after we beat Hillary Clinton, it says it right here.
Don't take it from me.
Go to Jonathan Weissman.
Can we put that up?
Paper of record.
New York Times.
Front page story on January 6th.
It's not like they're hiding it.
And he goes through.
Robert Reich, who we're beating on all the time.
Robert Reich's the guy waving his hand saying, hey guys, hey, look over here.
You're not paying attention.
Mr. Reich's message was largely unheeded for 30 years.
30 years.
30 years.
And you have the golf played again.
I gotta hear him say, I gotta hear him call Trump an insurrection.
But call Trump an insurrection.
He's calling you an insurrection.
Dude, we're the frickin' solution.
Okay?
You're the problem.
You gutless, whiny little bitch.
Play this thing again.
We can't play it?
It's not cut?
Thank you very much.
So when I tell you to cut it, let's cut it.
Come on, guys.
Get on the frickin' program.
Okay.
We're gonna play that in a second.
Because I've got to hear again.
Okay, don't yell at him.
Let's just play it.
I've got to hear again from Scott Galloway's own voice calling you insurrectionists and calling President Trump a rapist.
The only people that have done anything to help the working class.
Galloway, look back in 2019. Working-class wages rising ahead of middle-class wages.
The wages for non-college graduates rising higher than college graduates.
For blue-collar workers rising higher than white-collar workers.
Yes, that's because of Trump's.
It was not perfect, right?
I did not.
It was a bunch of battles in there.
I did not win.
That's okay.
Directionally, it was good.
It's going to get better.
Because we actually did something.
What did you do when Biden was there?
All these massive programs just jacked up inflation.
This is why they turfed you out of office.
You're going to come in here and whine.
They're going to sit around with knitted brows.
They've got the knitted brows, and they're going to sit there, and they're going to think great thoughts together.
Here's the great thought.
The kid that gunned down the guy in cold blood, shot him in the back like a coward at point-blank range.
When they start coming, they ain't coming for us.
They understand President Trump's trying to do something.
They're coming for you.
That's where you're so afraid.
You got a problem with, you know, I'm struggling with happiness.
Joe, I'm struggling with happiness.
Dude, take your personal problems and take them out of the room, man.
We don't care.
I don't care if you're unhappy.
I hope you're miserable.
I hope you're miserable.
Every day, I hope you get more miserable.
The marketing professor.
This is how desperate they are.
They hold this guy up as some great thinker.
He thinks great thoughts.
And then you throw that in there about President Trump, a man you tried in prison, you're going to try to do it again on Friday, a man you tried in prison that came back, is the only guy.
Talk to people.
Talk to the voters.
Don't listen to me yelling into a microphone.
Listen to them.
They think Trump's got their backs.
African Americans, Hispanics, inner-city folks.
Look at what happened in the Bronx.
Look at this massive outturning for President Trump.
Look at it.
What was that cause for?
Because they know it's not perfect.
It's not perfect.
But I've got to tell you, I would tell President Trump, you've got to sue this guy right now.
You want to get unhappy?
Hey, bro, we can get you real unhappy.
It's unacceptable for a punk like you who is part of the problem.
Remember this, you're part of the problem.
In fact, I would actually say you are the problem.
The problem is the Washington Consensus that has allowed the wealthy in this country to ransack this country and send all the jobs over to China for the slave labor of Lao Bajing.
It's not that you made China any better.
It's not that you gave a damn about the Chinese people.
You are comfortable them being enslaved for higher profits.
You people are despicable.
And you wallow there and you're, oh my gosh, what are we going to do?
Read the Times.
Don't take it from me.
Read the paper of record.
You read that?
Where they called you out for 30 years has been longer than that?
Of turning your back on your countrymen?
Of turning your back on the citizens of this nation?
And you, how dare you call Trump an insurrectionist?
Short break.
back in a moment.
unidentified
They are targeting the wealthy.
scott galloway ▲ ● ▼
We are in the midst of a series of small revolutions to correct income inequality.
And the reason we put an insurrectionist and a rapist in office is because for the first time in our nation's history...
A 30-year-old man or woman isn't doing as well as his or her parents were.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Let me have it.
I'm going to ask you to play that again.
By the way, Denver, I know the live chat is up.
Having your back, you guys are great.
But I wanted that for dramatic purposes.
First, I understand it took a long cut.
We're going to play this.
President Trump, Mike Davis is going to come later.
I'm calling on Boris Epstein and the team for President Trump.
They should sue Galloway immediately.
Do you not see what happened at ABC? You punk.
Let me tell you something, bro.
You people in that Morning Joe crowd, you're the Washington Consensus.
Hell, you advertise it every day.
We're what Washington thinks.
We're what New York City thinks.
We think this.
We think that.
We're thinking great thoughts.
It was you that did nothing.
It was you that did nothing.
And you're sitting up there, Mr. Marketing Professor at NYU, the Stern School.
Mr. Genius, thinking big thoughts, how dare you call this audience a group of insurrections?
This audience has saved the nation.
Folks, now you know we're up against not just taking on the world and taking on the established order, because the established order is to impoverish them.
The established order is what have all those kids, all those kids are supporting the gunmen.
The anger is going to come to you guys.
You had every possibility.
You controlled the entire government after you stole a frickin' election.
Why didn't you do anything with it?
All this bellyaching about the wealthy and the class and the working class right here, it shows you.
Robert Reich, little Robert Reich, he told you 30 years ago, he told Clinton that Clinton cared.
No, they're globalists.
Reich, come over to our side.
Come on, man.
Come on, man.
Can we have another one of those?
Is that like a wake-up call for me?
Okay, Denver.
No paybacks on this.
It's right there in the New York Times.
They lay out the entire thing.
The entire thing.
That ain't Breitbart.
That's not Gateway Pundit.
That's not Cain over Citizen Free Press, although he ought to link to this story.
It shows you.
They were indifferent.
You know why?
Because they were making money and their donors were making more money than others.
They sold their country out and they sold their countrymen out and they sold the people that were the ballots of their party and they're shocked.
They didn't turn up to vote for them.
They hate you.
Let me repeat this.
They hate you.
So Galloway, you ought to be damn afraid.
You see him sitting there?
It's a revolution.
It's many revolutions.
It's many revolutions.
Yeah, it's going to be a big old revolution.
We tell you, and I say this all the time, when the donors come and I said, you got two choices and only two.
You got a choice to follow this populist nationalist MAGA movement that's trying to bring some fairness to this country and peace and prosperity.
We're trying to stop the invade everybody, invite everybody.
In Calloway, you guys sit there at NYU and you sit there at Morning Joe and the immigration flooding the zone.
Where were you, brother, on the 15 million illegal alien invaders that came into this country in an organized fashion to destroy the black and Hispanic, low-skilled working class in this country?
Where were you, sir?
Where were you?
You know, we were looking in the mirror saying, why am I unhappy?
unidentified
I sold my business and, you know, the first $10 million was free.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
They're not taxes.
The tax rate is all of it.
It's all of it.
And we're going to get to all of it.
But the first thing we have to do is understand the mentality of you folks that are the running dogs for this system.
The running dogs for this system.
The whole system conspires against the working and middle class.
You, this audience, you are the full faith and credit of the United States of America.
The full faith and credit.
It's not the SEC. It's not the Federal Reserve.
It's not the Treasury Department.
It's not the government.
It's you.
The whole world depends upon you.
It's all on your shoulders.
Scott Galloway, he's worried now.
Because in New York City, they're gunning people down.
We don't support that at all.
We're the ones trying to come up with a solution that takes away that anger, that takes away that mentality, that mindset.
What do you call it?
The gestalt?
Zeitgeist?
I'm using all kind of big-time Freudian concepts, you know, from the Frankfurt School, oh my God, that brought so much hate over here.
Galloway, you and the running dogs and your running dogs of Morning Joe.
You're the Washington Senses.
You had all the power.
You could have shifted this anywhere.
A little war room, a little tiny war room with some crazy Mick yelling into a microphone and a bunch of people that don't count, according to you.
Hey, guess what?
Punch way above their weight.
And how dare you play that?
Okay, Denver, can we play it again?
I want to play that.
I got to play Galloway.
Telling us exactly what kind of person he is.
And I strongly recommend the Trump team, and I realize you've got a couple, three things going on.
Davis is going to be here later, Mike Davis, who's now their murder-boarding guy is getting ready for the confirmations.
So people are working away nonstop behind the scenes, folks.
You should know that you feel proud.
We'll get Mike Davis on it.
But I strongly recommend to Boris and the entire team over there that you go after Galloway.
You have to stop this.
You have to stop these accusations against the President of the United States.
He's got enough problems on his head.
Doesn't need punks coming on.
And MSNBC should be ashamed of themselves.
I think Morning Mika worried about her bonus.
I think she jumped in there.
In fact, if we can get the Morning Mika thing and play it a little later, I want to do that.
But let's play Galloway again.
scott galloway ▲ ● ▼
Are these movements?
They are targeting the wealthy.
We are in the midst of a series of small revolutions to correct income inequality.
And the reason we put an insurrectionist and a rapist in office is because for the first time in our nation's history, a 30-year-old man or woman isn't doing as well as his or her parents were at 30. Why?
Because the majority of households...
Are having the oxygen sucked out of the room such that a small number of individuals and a small number of companies can be worth more than nation states.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Where were you during the Obama?
Obama had the greatest concentration of wealth, Obama administration, to save the system.
Because Obama's a constitutional lawyer, no offense to all the constitutional guys that Ted Cruz is, Mark Levin's, but hey, what do you got to do heavy lifting?
Right?
I don't turn to a constitutional lawyer.
You're great on the Constitution.
I got that.
But at the end of the day, it's a contract.
Okay?
Divinely inspired, but it's a contract.
Obama gets in the room.
Read the books.
I think it's David Sussman.
Read the books.
He's sitting there.
He has no worthy idea.
It's so complicated.
But the bottom line was, hey, here's what we're going to do.
We're going to bail out the system.
We're going to bail out the perpetrators of the crash of 2008. Bail them out.
With money we just create.
That goes on the...
And we're going to take interest rates to zero.
And oh, by the way, in doing this, we're going to destroy the working class and middle class.
Wasn't Steve Bannon.
That came from the...
Read the Lords of Easy Money by Christopher Leonard.
Read it.
Christopher Leonard goes back.
You know what Christopher Leonard does?
He goes back to the minutes of the governors of the Federal Reserve.
Which, by the way, it kept hidden behind lock and key for a decade.
Chris Leonard went and did the work.
And they had debate.
Hey, gosh, you know, if we do this, this is going to concentrate wealth and power like more in the history of the country and probably in any nation in the world.
Maybe we turn this into an oligarchy.
They had that debate.
The chairman of the Federal Reserve in Dallas was adamant.
He says, yo...
Guys, if we go to zero interest rates, if we do this, yeah, we'll save the system, we'll save the perpetrators, but we'll destroy the country.
That's why you're the full faith and credit.
You put on your shoulders.
Remember back in those days, looking at the checking account, looking at the savings account, there was no interest.
You had no ability to have any capital accumulation on the little bit of money you're able to kind of set aside.
Remember those days?
Well, you ought to remember them.
You did the ballot.
Please understand something.
You, the working class and middle class, did the ballot.
Galloway, did you have anything to say about that?
Did you have anything to say about that at the time?
Mr. Marketing Professor, were you thinking big thoughts?
Did you think any big thoughts when that went down?
Did you think any big...
Morning, Joe, where were you guys?
CNBC? Jim Cramer?
You had the pom-poms freaking out.
You were cheering it on.
So don't sit here and tell me what you think today and you're going to call Trump an insurrectionist and by implication consider us insurrectionists.
We saved this freaking country and Donald Trump saved this country.
And if he didn't have the moral courage to come back against all odds and face your nonsense and face your crap and defeat you with people that used to vote Democratic.
Let me tell you this, Galloway, they hate you.
With a burning hatred, and then they should hate you.
Because you destroyed them along with the Washington Consensus, along with all the grand poobahs on Morning Joe.
Every single day.
And they understand, they understand that the salvation they've got rests upon a guy named Donald John Trump from Queens.
Okay?
Who, if he had walked away after you stole the election from him, would have been, people would have said, fine.
But he said it at AmFest, he came back because he knew he won.
And he knew how the system was rigged.
If it was rigged against a guy that's worth seven or eight billion dollars, if he can't make it, if he can't win, who can?
And because you back him, you're an insurrectionist?
Do you fully understand what that means, bro?
You people disgust me, and here's why.
The system that's offered so much to the credential class, you spit in the face of working class and middle class people that actually want to make change.
Not performative, not talk about change, not whine a morning show.
unidentified
You know, I struggle with happiness.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Struggle with this, bro.
You're detestable.
Look in the mirror.
Tomorrow morning, look in the mirror.
Repeat after me.
I'm a piece of blank.
Fill it in.
This is why not only we will win, we have to win.
unidentified
We must defeat these people.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Short break.
mika brzezinski ▲ ● ▼
I want to make a comment, though, just about a word that was used in this interview, which Donald Trump was tried civilly and was found liable of sexual abuse, not rape.
But the judge in the case likened his actions to rape, but the liability was officially called sexual abuse.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
You're going to get cute?
Sue him, President Trump.
Sue him.
Play that again.
Play that again.
Sue him.
You're going to start tap dancing around.
He called him a rapist.
Stephanopoulos just coughed up 15 million bucks.
There's a story of Jonathan Karls making a move on Stephanopoulos' game.
Tossed.
He willingly looked into the camera and you guys waited.
Then you didn't cut him off.
Why didn't you jump in and cut him off?
Play this again.
mika brzezinski ▲ ● ▼
Conversation.
I want to make a comment, though, just about a word that was used in this interview.
Donald Trump was tried civilly.
And was found liable of sexual abuse, not rape.
But the judge in the case likened his actions to rape, but the liability was officially called sexual abuse.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Can I play Denver?
Denver, are we good?
I want to say something else.
The Sigs, I appreciate you.
I'm Robin Parker.
I'm good for the fine, because we will get fined.
And for my language, my mother...
Would have come in here and grabbed me by the ear and washed my mouth out with soap.
But hey, I'm that worked up.
Can we play it again?
Because here's why.
Trump had the moral courage to come back.
He had the physical courage.
They tried to assassinate him twice.
They tried to assassinate him twice.
He took a bullet for the team.
He took a bullet.
How many individuals want to crawl off that stage?
How many individuals stand up and what do you say?
Fight, fight, fight.
Because that's what this movement has.
And you have the gall and the audacity.
Knowingly did it.
He knowingly did it.
And no offense, Mourning Mika and the producers are not good enough.
You've got to jump in and cut a guy off.
You're going to say that?
Because rape implies violence.
Violence.
That Donald Trump's an exurrectionist and he's violent sexual.
Rapist.
How dare you?
How dare you?
What this guy's given to this country?
How dare you?
Boris, get him up.
Drop the biggest frickin' lawsuit in these people.
Get some producers over at Morning Joe fired, and maybe you'll blow up her ear, get in her ear quicker.
Say, no, you gotta stop that.
You gotta sit there, and you gotta call him out.
Don't give me some legalese later.
You didn't do it.
You know why?
You want that in there, insurrectionist and rapist.
For a man who has the only individual we've ever seen on the political scene that's tried to do anything about the crisis you're talking about.
And do you give him any credit at all?
No, you do not.
In fact, you're an obstructionist.
Let me refer back to the New York Times, the paper of record.
Read it.
I'm going to ram this down your throat.
Read it.
Weissman lays out the entire thing.
For 30 years.
Get Reich on there.
Ask Reich.
Reich, why are you dealing with these people?
They're never going to change anything.
If you're serious about changing it, I understand there's a bunch of stuff we don't agree with, but we do agree that the working class and the middle class have been destroyed by Chris Leonard's, the lords of easy money on Wall Street, the oligarchs in Silicon Valley, and the corporatists who all sold their country out.
They're not patriots, they're globalists.
All they care is about the free flow of capital and the returns on capital.
And you wonder why Galloway's sitting there.
I'm not happy.
You know, I struggle with happiness.
You're going to struggle with a lot more than that, dude.
Hopefully you struggle with a big $100 million lawsuit.
We'll make you unhappy.
You want to be unhappy?
We'll make you, as my mother said, we'll give you a reason to be unhappy, not your whining.
Stop whining.
We're going to give you something really to be unhappy about.
Read it.
Right there.
You consciously abandoned them.
You consciously abandoned them.
Reich's on the sidelines.
His message went unheeded for 30 years.
And now you've got Fetterman, you've got Rokihana, you've got a couple of three others.
A couple of three.
And that tire-funded apparatus tried to destroy our country and came up with the weird patrol from the transgenders.
All this madness.
Nothing but madness.
Can I play Galloway's one more time, the clip on the rape and the insurrection?
scott galloway ▲ ● ▼
And the reason we put an insurrectionist and a rapist in office is because for the first time in our nation's history, a 30-year-old man or woman isn't doing as well as his or her parents were.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
They're not even close.
They're getting crushed.
Not even close.
The established order has its running dogs that, and even the media, we shattered that with the podcast and different streaming services.
But it was the audience.
You know, he sits there.
One of the reasons, you know, people, oh, they had this and they thought about that.
No, you didn't educate them.
When you educate, I saw this at Danbury and I've seen this audience.
When you educate...
Working class and middle class people and give them access to information about the way the system actually works.
Number one, they spit on the floor.
And number two, they have an awakening.
And number three, they get angry.
Now that anger is then channeled into positive things.
The precinct strategy, election integrity, things to use your agency in a positive way to impact and affect change.
That is why Donald Trump has now won a massive victory and why in less than two weeks he's going to raise his hand and become the 47th President of the United States.
Now you can channel it into unproductive and angry ways and that can be very easy and that's happening and you see it.
And who are they?
They're principally children of the left.
It's Galloway students.
Our students are people like that in the university credential class.
Because they're like little children, like the guy, whoever the shooter is.
He has no earthy idea.
They understand something wrong, but they can't do it, so they act out.
They act out.
They're unhappy too, Galloway.
unidentified
But they act out, like spoiled little kids.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
And yes, sir, you're going to have a problem.
So you either go our way, or you're just going to drift and go your way, which doesn't change anything.
Remember Galloway and Morning Joe and all you geniuses over there?
You had the full opportunity in the first 90 days of the illegitimate Biden regime.
You had all this big talk about doing the tax code and we're going to do this and we got Elizabeth Warren and we're talking this and all the billionaires.
And it didn't even get to committee.
It didn't even have a hearing, I don't believe.
Biden's big tax things.
It was just performative.
You know why?
The donors, the people that control the Democratic Party, the sources of the world.
They like what they've got.
They like what Obama did.
Obama, on the forefront, is the most progressive president in the history of the United States.
It was all performative.
What he did was did economic policies and bailouts that concentrated.
He put $4.5 trillion on the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve just to force liquidity through the system to save the bad guys.
The bad guys still haunt us today.
And let me talk about this.
The bad guys and the geniuses and all these guys, there's some big tech.
Dude, at zero interest rates, it doesn't take a J.P. Morgan or a Carnegie or a Rockefeller or a Graham to make a lot of money.
You were able to leverage up basically with free money.
Now, the money wasn't free to some people.
Who wasn't free to?
The working class and middle class whose shoulders it rested on.
And then you hit them with a double whammy later.
You hit them with massive inflation.
Let me go back to 19 Galloway.
Maybe you pull some statistics.
Interest rates almost at an all-time low.
Inflation at an all-time low.
Employment, you know, increases with blue-collar people, increases with working class.
That's what they just did.
All the surveys for these folks, the working class folks.
They didn't go get a Harvard MBA. They're not at Stern taking your marketing course, taking your marketing course, spreading your happiness around.
What'd they say?
We'd like to go back to 19. These are people too busy trying to keep above water, working two or three jobs, trying to bridge every month with a credit card that's at 25 to 29% APR, the interest rate.
You see what the lived experience, you see in Penny's trial with the subways, you see what the lived experience of the working class, the middle class in this country, this kind of burning anxiety, they call it the anxious class, the burning anxiety all the time that, hey, if I get laid off, this doesn't work out, I'm 90 days away from having a problem and basically six months away from oblivion.
That's eating on people all the time.
There is no security.
Oh, by the way, when you get to 60 years old or whatever, that little $1,200 a month, all they want on thing.
We can't do anything to solve the financial problems of the country.
We can't do anything.
We've got to get to the entitlements.
We've got to get to Social Security.
We've got to get to Medicare.
The little bit you've got going, hey, I've got news for you folks, the political class.
The one contract they've got is that Social Security and Medicare.
And until you show them you're serious people, which you are not, and that you're not out to screw them, which you are, Until you show them that, they're never going to give you the contract.
Even talking, that's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
You'll get turfed out of office.
You deserve to get turfed out of office.
They got one little thing to hang on.
One little thing.
And you're spending trillions.
You're doing this.
You got all the lobbyists.
You're living like the...
Look at Washington, D.C. It's got the best boutiques.
It's got guys paying cash for Lamborghinis.
It looks like Paris.
Life is easy there for the lobbyists.
The cartels are just pigs at the trough.
And there's a lot of feed.
You know why?
Because you've got a magic money machine because the Fed just creates it.
And besides, the working class sit there and go, man, or the middle class go, man, I'm screwed.
I need these credit cards to gap my expenses from the salary.
Or the BRICS nations.
Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Latin America, all of them.
They all got Steve Banners.
They all got guys who went to Harvard Business School, got an HP-12C. They can work the numbers.
And they sit there and go, you know, the purchasing power of this thing they give us called a dollar keeps decreasing because they run these massive deficits and they got to refinance it.
Scott Besson.
Let's talk about Scott Besson, a regular on the show, now going to be Secretary of the Treasury.
Scott got a pretty big task in front of him.
He's got to finance $7 trillion.
Let me repeat that in one year.
He's got to roll $7 trillion.
Of refinancing.
That's gonna be an easy one, isn't it?
It's gonna be an easy one.
The elites, for their own greed and avarice, put the nation into this vice.
And now, geopolitically, we got a problem.
We got problems all over.
I'm gonna come back.
I've kind of done a couple of rants here, but I'm gonna come back and talk about a problem.
South Korea, and we want everybody to know we've gotten such great feedback from Colonel...
John Mills' performance.
We want all our brothers and sisters in Korea that are freedom fighters to understand.
We're going to blow this segment out everywhere.
We have your back.
We understand what's happening.
The Chinese Communist Party is all over South Korea.
They're trying to have a coup d'etat in South Korea.
We have 28,000 troops there.
And it's also essential to our naval operations.
I spent a lot of time when I was in the 7th Fleet in and out of Korea.
Right?
With the Korean Navy supporting the Koreans.
The peninsula of Korea, that's where we're on the Eurasian landmass from the Korean War.
And I'm not saying we've got to rethink all that over time, but here and now, in this time and place, we're there.
And they're going to be held hostage.
There's a major, major CCP operation in South Korea trying to overthrow that government.
For the Chinese Communist Party.
The Chinese Communist Party is financially upside down.
So what do they do?
They do what all these nations do.
They want to wag the dog.
They're going to wag the dog, folks.
And we're a Pacific power.
This is a Pacific century.
Morning Joe did have today the brilliant, I think it's Hal Brands, or I think it's his son, wrote this book, The Eurasian Century, which really echoes much of what we've talked about in the war room for years and years and years.
President Trump's inheriting a mess of massive, massive, massive scale.
It's going to take superhuman effort and focus to get this country out of this mess, and in getting this country out of this mess, get the world out of this mess.
This is far worse than the 1930s.
Far worse.
Not even close.
This is much worse than the 1930s.
The late 1930s.
Short break.

Um.

Birch Gold, times of turbulence.
I've got John Mills.
EJ and Tony is going to join me about the financial situation in China and talk about their bond market in a second.
One of the reasons I think these things are happening.
Birch Gold.
Ideas have consequences.
You saw the namby-pamby mumbling over there on Morning Joe this morning.
You need facts and you need to understand concepts and constructs.
That's what Birch Gold has been so great.
Because Birch Gold, from a business perspective, I understand if people understand the financial situation and understand the direction of this and they understand that gold can be a hedge potentially against times of turbulence, they'll get a lot of customers.
It's pretty simple.
It's not a complicated process.
So we've got the end of the dollar empire, the latest free installment.
All I'm afraid, it's kind of like a textbook now, is a modern monetary theory, the idea that broke the world.
And you think about everything that's going on, this radical theory kind of embraced.
Just read Chris Leonard's The Lords of Easy Money.
Just embraced by people that this fantasy, you could run massive deficits, and it was like...
Nirvana.
You never have to pay it back.
You never had any consequences from it.
It was all a lie.
It was all ridiculous and stupid.
But go to Birch Gold today and check it out.
And then talk to Philip Patrick and the team about your own retirement, your own portfolio, what you're doing, and consider gold as an alternative after you talk to those guys.
Philip Patrick and the team at Birch Gold.
And you can get all the other free information on brochures and what I call the instrumentality of how you do it by going to Bannon, B-A-N-N, texting Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, at 989898.
The situation in South Korea is, and our brothers and sisters there, we've got your back, but this is bad and it's going to get worse, I think.
John Mills, tell us what is going on There's a coup d'etat underway, driven by and inspired by the direct involvement of the Chinese Communist Party.
Walk us through what's going on.
unidentified
Yeah, thank you, Steve.
What's going on here?
This mirrors our struggle.
Against the globalists and the Chinese Communist Party right here in America.
This is why we need to Trudeau every dirty, rotten, stinking globalist wherever they are at around the world, because they will J6 everyone.
So that's why this is so important.
This mirrors our struggle.
So in South Korea, let's show the first slide, please.
It's important to understand, to the right, Che, he is the acting president because they impeached the first two.
They're trying to impeach Che now because he refused to tell the presidential police to stand down on Sunday as they attempted to serve an arrest warrant.
Next slide, please.
It's very important to understand.
We're the three centers of gravity inside of Seoul right now.
To the left is the National Assembly.
That's where Lee and the Democrat Party hold sway.
They are called the Democrat Party, and they are mirroring exactly the kind of people that we've had to deal with.
So this is so important to understand this.
To the right is Hanam.
So let's go to Hanam.
So I'm not going to show exactly where the presidential house is, but this is an enclave of where the senior ministers live.
This is where the crowds have been rallying.
This is where the People's Party crowds have been rallying to block the arrest of Yun.
So this is where the action is at in Seoul.
Next slide, please.
This shows the background of some of the Democrat Party members.
If you read this, this is from Dr. Tara Oh.
If you read about them, boy, it sure sounds familiar.
The Clintons, Obama, same radical upbringing.
It's globalist.
And they want to take a wonderful country like South Korea and just turn it into a socialist, communist paradise.
That's what they're dealing with.
That's what we've had to be dealing with.
Next slide, please.
Now what's so dangerous is also what has North Korea done?
Because you've got to look at this in the context of the worldwide game that's going on right now.
And that's...
Okay.
Now North Korea has moved their launchers into position on the DMZ. Very dangerous.
Very concerning.
Okay, next slide, please.
Okay.
So we're also, there's probably what's going to happen, Steve, is another arrest attempt this coming Friday.
So we're very concerned about this.
It's probably going to lead to violence.
So the situation is very precarious.
The South Korean people want to know that we have their back.
You and the war room posse are getting their attention.
We want to let them know.
We hear them.
And we are concerned, and January 20th is right around the corner, and we'll get a real president that will provide support to them on what's going on as they try to settle this peacefully, but it's coming very close to a shooting war.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Steve, that's it.
Yeah, Colonel Mills, just for explanation to the audience, is that many of the people, not all, but there are actual Chinese nationals in these crowds.
In the CCP, there's like 20% of young people, I think it is, have turned against the United States and actually have started a movement saying we're in occupying power.
Remember, the Korean War has not come to a conclusion.
The Korean War has not come to a conclusion.
President Trump, that's why he said it's just a truce.
It's a ceasefire.
There's no peace treaty.
The Korean War still was going on when I was born.
Right?
And I'm 71 years old now.
So this has been going on for a while.
Tell us about it.
Give us a minute before we go to break.
I'm going to keep you around.
About on the other side of the football from you, this is a group, not everybody, but it's a group that's got some hardcore pro-CCP and actually some Chinese nationals in it that are stirring up the people and turning them against the United States.
unidentified
Absolutely.
They call us an occupying force.
That's actually fighting words in South Korea.
My father-in-law, right upstairs, 92, wounded twice in 1950. So my father-in-law, Chinese-Japanese-American, was wounded twice in 1950. And so many Americans died and South Koreans died trying to defend South Korea from the communists.
We're going to throw this all in the trash bin.
Now, you notice the other side, when they rally and they are beginning to rally, they're showing.
What?
Transgender flags.
It's crazy time.
It is really crazy, Steve.
steve bannon ▲ ● ▼
Just hang on.
Also, South Korea is the most Christian, I think, of all the East Asian countries.
Strong Christian, but the Baptists have done a great job in proselytizing there, missionary work.
You go to South Korea, I spend a lot of time in Korea, I own businesses there with Koreans, have done joint exercises with the Korean Navy and the Korean military.
Great people.
I mean great people.
Not good people, great people.
Devout, devout, devout Christians.
And right now, they need our...
We need to have their back, because I'm telling you, what's going on in Korea right now is a coup d'etat.
A coup d'etat.
To start President Trump's...
The Chinese are...
They're evil, cunning, but they're very smart.
The Chinese Communist Party.
They understand.
They gotta knock...
They gotta cut the legs out from President Trump right from the get-go.
Or it's a game-set match against them.
Short break.
