steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on these people.
You're going to find out I got a free shot on 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 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 lie?
MAGA media.
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
steve bannon
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
If that answer.
is to save my country.
unidentified
This country will be saved.
steve bannon
Wednesday, 20 August, year of our Lord, 2025.
Thank you for being here for the second hour of the morning edition.
We're also going to be on fire in the afternoon edition.
We've got so much.
Four hours a day, we can't even wedge it all in.
um I've got Philip Patrick.
I got Steve Cortez.
I'm going to get back to Steve Cortez in a moment and bring in Philip Patrick after, just after, we've got Senator Mike Lee by phone.
And I need to take Senator Lee because this goes back to the my open about 2026 and beyond.
Senator Mike Lee, thank you.
And it's so great to have you here because we always look to you to help us out with the Constitution and the constitutionality of things.
The three aspects of everything that's going on, one, the president calling for – Also, the redistricting fight and folks, I think we're getting very close to a vote in Texas, but it's not good enough.
We need a Texas 10, not the five that was originally there because the Democrats try to be cute.
There's more seats down there.
We have to be maximalist.
Number three is this thing about mail-in ballots.
And so Senator Lee, I know you've got a thread and you're very focused on this.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Is the great state of Utah, is that 100% mail-in ballots like Colorado or you guys just use mail-in ballots a lot, sir?
mike lee
No, we've been using universal mail-in voting.
And for a long time, in fact, we adopted it significantly before COVID.
In some respects, one could argue that you Utah does it better than other states.
Nevertheless, the risks remain.
The risks have proven themselves to be inherent in the nature of mail end balloting.
Look, you don't just print out millions of ballots and send them out like feathers in the wind into the US mail system, there are too many potential points of failure.
And so even if you're a state like Utah that probably does mail end balloting better than others, that doesn't mean that what is safer than other states today will remain safer tomorrow, nor does it mean that it's adequately safe even for today.
simply because of the fact that you've got chain of custody problems that amplify themselves exponentially the minute you put it into the hands of the U.S. Postal system.
The U.S. Postal system is good for what it's good for, but it's not a good way to vote.
And I think we need to end it in Utah and across the country.
And I've written on that extensively over the last few days on X on my base Mike Leib account.
because I feel passionately about this.
I think there is way too much room for manipulation.
And if there's ever been a time that we need to be refocused on sort of bolstering the integrity, actual and perceived integrity of our voting systems, it's right now.
steve bannon
Why did, you know, you could understand the crazies in Oregon and not the eastern part, not the eastern part of Washington, but, you know, the Seattle, Portland crowd.
You can understand in the takeover, the blue takeover of Colorado, because in Colorado, there was a plan of these radical uh lgbtq plus uh billionaires to take colorado and turn it from you know a a western state with those kind of western values of self-reliance into a blue state purple first and blue you can understand why some of these states have gone this.
Why did Utah do it?
I mean, Utah is like the epitome of American values, self-reliance, self-determination.
You do things the classic, old-fashioned American way.
How did Utah, of all places, even get into the mail and ballot business?
mike lee
My understanding is that a decision was made at the time based at least in part on the belief by many Republicans that it would help enhance.
our ability to win more state legislative seats for Republicans in the state of Utah.
Now, I don't know whether the statistics actually bear that out or not.
But regardless of whether they do, I think any gain there, any actual or perceived gain there is more than offset by the diminution in voter integrity, in the security and safety reliability of our voting systems, or the ability of our voting systems to be resilient as against attempts.
to engage in voting fraud.
So regardless of what those motivations might have been and what the merits might have been at the time, I think the time has come for us to change and that's why I'm calling on our legislature in Utah and legislatures across the country to do the same.
steve bannon
So how are you going to lead that effort?
You know, it's interesting the founders, given that the post office was such a major institution at the founding of the republic, you know, didn't come out for this.
So today it's like, why are we doing this particularly in a system that's so open?
to manipulation and corruption.
How do you expect to get this done in Utah?
And then how do you expect to take this?
What President Trump wants to do, he's going to have a very tough executive order.
know they're working on right now.
What would you like to see in that executive order to help you on your crusade to get it shut down everywhere in the country?
mike lee
Well, first and foremost, anything coming out of the White House in the form of an executive order or otherwise, I think can be very helpful to us, especially in Sephora as it emphasizes problems that the administration has uncovered, ways in which these things have been abused and manipulated.
I can't speak to what they intend to actually do in the executive order.
I just haven't been been read in on any of that um i really don't know what they have in mind but i know that president trump has led the way and i think president trump's vocal advocacy on this has been very effective.
I know they've got, because of the messages coming from the White House and from President Trump himself, we've got lawmakers who are much more interested in this as a result of his direct involvement.
So the more of that we can get, the better off we're going to be.
steve bannon
Before I let you go, Senator Lee, you led the effort, the great effort to support President Trump for recess, a true recess and a recess appointment.
It's pretty obvious to anyone associated with the administration is that Things are falling through the crack for the simple reason we just don't have the manpower President Trump needs.
Is there any update at all you can give us?
on when we can expect.
I understand they may change some rules on the margin, but the bottom line, I believe, is that at some point in time, we're going to have to have John Thunan, the leadership, the McConnell-backed leadership of the Senate, have President Trump's back here and have some sort of a true recess when we get recess appointments any update at all on anything you've been working on while we're on this quote unquote non-recess recess yeah look there are members
mike lee
of the senate who demanded when we left that as soon as we come back into session either the first or second week of september we're back in session that we will be considering some possible rules changes that would help expedite that.
Now, I want to be optimistic about that.
Keep in mind, an actual rules change.
takes 67 votes.
you can adopt what's called a standing order, which can have the same effect as a rules change, then that takes 60 votes.
So either of those options would require more than a simple majority, and it would require the support of at least some Democrats.
If we can do that such that we can really expedite a lot of President Trump's nominees, because this isn't just a matter of human resources, of manpower, as you say.
It's also having the right political appointees who are installed and confirmed and can act with the legitimacy, the imprimatur of Senate confirmation approval within their respective agencies.
so uh look if we can get that done, that'd be great.
Frankly, right now, I'm not holding my breath, which is why I advocated for us to either stay in session until we clean the backlog.
steve bannon
Hang on.
Hang on Taxi bus, omnibus appropriations, all that madness that the clock's going to be ticking right with only ten or fifteen days.
Do you actually think that the Senate could come, I mean, the fight for 60 or 67 votes would be historic right now, would it not, sir?
Because they're in a position they don't want to cooperate with Trump, this is why the recess appointments are so important.
They don't want to cooperate with Trump on anything and their voters are howling, right?
You can't even have a town hall because these crazy people are showing up shouting people down.
Do you honestly, do you actually think, because you're a guy that's a safe pair of hands, do you actually think we could get the Senate to agree on anything that would be a win for Trump, sir?
mike lee
I think it is exceptionally unlikely.
The reason there may be some sliver of hope there, there may be some institutionalists among the Senate Democrats who might say, look, if it's going to be between this and a larger slew of recess appointments, then maybe we ought to play ball.
I don't think they're going to play ball, which is why I think we've got to do what I think we should have done in August, which is either stay in session until they're all done.
or if we must take a recess, actually recess and recess in a way that allows the president to exercise his power under Article 2 of the Constitution to fill those vacancies during a recess in the Senate.
steve bannon
Senator Mike Lee, where do people go?
Your thread's amazing.
I know you're putting up stuff all the time.
Where do people go to get to your social media to find out more about what you're thinking, sir?
mike lee
It can follow my thinking on this on X at based Mike Lee, based Mike Lee.
steve bannon
And it is quite based.
It's a great Twitter feed.
Senator Lee, thank you for taking time off to join us today in the war and explain this.
Appreciate you.
mike lee
Thanks so much, Steve.
Take care.
steve bannon
Thank you, brother.
Steve Cortez, I've got Philip Patrick with us, and actually in a short while, Eduardo Bolsonaro, and you know a lot of this is coming out of the BRICS nations and led by Lula.
Walk me through again the defense of the dollar.
I want to, because I know we got all kind of economic problems here, but go back to your coming out of, you're in Jackson Hole, right, even as we speak.
And I know the president's anticipating.
some acknowledgement of a rate cut.
I'm not so sure that's coming because I think pound these guys are dug in.
By the way, what's your thinking on the rate cut?
Where do you come down to?
Are you part of this group that says they've miscarcalculated where real natural interest rates should be and that there should be a rate cut, sir.
steve cortes
Well, listen, I am, of course, no fan of Powell or for that matter, the Fed in the whole.
However, in this case, I think they're actually correct.
When you look at what's going on with the dollar, when you look at what's going on with grocery prices, I think cutting rates right now is dangerous.
If rates are going to be cut, I'll tell you this, it must be coincident.
It must be coincident with a very significant campaign to back up the dollar.
That is, I think, absolutely paramount.
That is an imperative.
If rates are going to come down, we have to try to defend the dollar because part of the erosion of purchasing power.
of regular Americans, a big reason why they continue to tell us in polls that they have tremendous economic anxiety, even though they don't know it, it's a currency issue.
It's because their purchasing power is eroding, because the dollar is eroding.
So I think this is absolutely key.
And again, this is not my opinion.
I mean, just look at the levels, look at Bitcoin, look at gold, look at even the euro currency.
For all the problems of Europe, the euro currency is having a great year against the US dollar.
That is not consequence-free.
And again, to translate it back to politics and polling, it's why half of Americans give a D or an F grade to the administration on inflation right now.
And that's in Georgia.
That's in a state that is leaning Republican.
But when we asked them to give a letter grade, 48% of women, 48% of women, 48% of independents tell us they give a D or an F to the administration.
And that women number is very important, by the way, because they are generally the CFOs of the household.
They tend to do more shopping.
They pay the bills.
So they are the accounts.
They're the CFOs.
And in that regard, their view is particularly important here.
Now, having said all that, Steve, look, the Fed is utterly corrupt.
And one of the things I'm trying to talk to here in Jackson Hall, I'm trying to talk to as many reporters as I can, because most of the media folks are already here, is will you please give some real scrutiny to the Fed?
I mean, the fact that a Fed governor is likely to be imminently indicted, the fact that the last vice chairman of the Fed, Richard Clarida, that he had to resign because he was front running during the COVID panic, he was front running the Fed Fed with multi-million dollar trades that got hardly any attention from the corporate media.
Steve, I mean, give them some.
steve bannon

Okay, welcome back.
Steve Cortez, Touchpoints, your films, your documentaries, polling, all of it.
You're going to be at Jackson Hole.
We'll be checking in with you every day as you corral the media in information warfare and get them focused on what's particularly the corruption of the Fed.
I mean, this is a huge deal.
President Trump...
I guess we were finished with our pre-production for the morning war room and demanded that the governor of the Federalederal Reserve, Lisa Cook, stepped down immediately because she's about to be imminently indicted for mortgage fraud.
That's lovely.
So make sure your voice is heard out there.
Where do people go to follow you, sir?
steve cortes
Yes, so go to cortezinvestigates.com, cortez with an S at the end, all of my documentaries, this article, my most recent article on the economy and polling, and I certainly will be posting more about the Fed.
And yes, I think this is even the bigger point than what the Fed should do with interest rates right now is we need accountability and transparency from the Fed.
This is one of the most important institutions in American life, and yet they operate completely in the shadow.
And there's almost no media scrutiny of them, despite a lot of really malicious, awful and even criminal behavior.
Again, reminder, the vice chairman of the Fed, the last vice chairman, was trading in massive amounts, front running decisions of the Fed during the COVID panic.
Now we have a sitting Fed governor who looks imminently to be indicted for mortgage fraud.
This is a thoroughly corrupt institution.
It should be audited.
There should be tonnes of scrutiny.
And I think the entire board should be replaced.
We need small bankers, farmers, small business owners, enough of these corrupt academics, enough people with PhDs from MIT and Columbia University.
who have gotten almost everything wrong for decades.
So if not eliminate the Fed, at least seriously reform the Fed.
And part of what I'm doing here in Jackson Hole is trying to encourage these media folks.
It's not easy, Steve.
You know that.
They're stubborn as hell.
But I'm trying to encourage these media folks to actually do it.
steve bannon
Hang on.
It's not that.
Here's the thing.
Most of these reporters are all English majors.
So they really don't understand it.
So what to get access in inside baseball, they give them scoops, but they got to take the party line.
That's what the Feds like they call it the temple, right?
It's like what happens in there is kind of like magic.
No, it's not that.
And look, I'm in the Fed guy.
I'm an Andrew Jackson populist.
We don't need a central bank.
And I think it's only proven to destroy the value of the currency and it's crushed working class people.
Hell, they bailed out everybody after 2008 on the working people in this country and it's in the minutes of the Federal Reserve.
That's why the book Lords of Easy Money is so shocking.
You actually read, oh, by the way, their minutes are not available for a decade.
They put them in the National Archives.
You can't even read them for a decade afterwards.
The thing's corrupt and incompetent.
If you're corrupt on your game, maybe you can look over the corruption, right?
Like, but if you're corrupt and incompetent, it's like the French aristocracy right before the French Revolution, right?
They learned nothing.
The Bourbons learned nothing and they forgot nothing.
That's the Federal Reserve.
Steve Cortez, thank you.
We'll check back in in Jackson Hole as you're out there.
Thank you, sir.
steve cortes
Thank you, brother.
unidentified
Appreciate it.
steve bannon
So we got a counter thing about defending the dollar.
So Philip Patrick, gold's been on fire for the last year.
The dollar, there's all kinds of questions about the dollar right now.
Eduardo Bolsonaro is going to join us here in a little while.
You know, he'll tell you they're trying to put his father's.
on trial.
They're going to put him away forever with this corrupt judge and try to have him assassinated in prison because Lula's never going to turn over Brazil because Lula's in bed with the CCP.
And as you reported from when you went down and did the best reporting from Rio, it's all about these, it's everything's de-dollarization.
They just don't want to say it because they understand President Trump will come down on them with another 50% tariff.
So given that, and I've heard this from a lot of people, that gold is at, you know, with 3,400 bucks around, it fluctuates a little bit.
How are people supposed to think about this when Steve Cortez said, hey, look, it's part of the math here, and my phone's already blowing up from people particularly people on fixed incomes are saying hey look i'm feeling that decline in the value of the dollar so what are people to do here and to think through this entire mess sir look i think you just got to understand a little bit about gold so gold's been been been performing very well as we've seen since i've come on the show it's just been going up and up and up obviously a coincidence but
phillip patrick
um you know i'm hearing from people are gold prices too high and and the answer i think is is absolutely not you've just got to start looking at it in the right way so first of all for some historical context where we are today with gold prices 33, 42 and some change.
This is essentially where we were in the 1980s, right?
1980, January after the stagflationary bout of the 70s, gold peaked at around 850 dollars an ounce.
If we adjust that to inflation, today that sits at around 3300.
So this isn't new territory in terms of prices.
We have to remember a few differences from the 1980s and today, right?
Back in the 1980s, there were options.
Money in the bank, CDs were paying 16%.
You could beat inflation sitting in the bank.
Those options.
just don't exist today.
We also have to look at gold in terms of an asset class.
This is a commodity that isn't like oil or wheat, right?
Look at with most commodities, high prices will kill demand or boost supply or they're going to do both, right?
And then ultimately they're consumed or used up.
Gold is very different.
Supply barely grows.
It's one percent a year regardless of what happens to price, right?
So price is set by those who are willing to sell, not by new supply.
So it's a very unique commodity in that respect.
And then here's the big ones.
Who's buying gold today?
It's central banks, as we've talked for the last three and a half years, setting consecutive records.
But people have to understand one thing about gold.
There is no ceiling on its price.
when money breaks, right?
We talk a lot about the dollar, devaluation of the dollar, de-dollarization.
Kenneth Rogoff said this back in 2016.
He said, gold has no limit to its price.
And he's absolutely right.
Look at Weimar, Germany, right?
An ounce of gold before World War I was 170 marks.
Ten years later, after a hyperinflationary bout, 87 trillion marks it took to buy one ounce of gold, right?
So gold is a reflection of currency and ultimately gold will go as high as currency goes low.
And what history has shown us is there is no bottom for currency.
So when we talk about dollar devaluation and why people should buy gold, this is exactly why.
Look at investment banks now scrambling to up their predictions.
Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, UBS, Bank of America all say over $4,000 within the next six to eight months.
So this is a market I think that will continue to move and I'll go back to what you say don't look at gold's price look at the fundamentals driving gold they are strengthening every single day Steve That's what we're trying to do with the end of the dollar empire.
steve bannon
Just go the end.
It's been four years.
And, you know, I hate to be so blunt, but we've called this from the very beginning.
And if you go back and look at the chapters and we try to build this up so that you understand really back to the beginning of the country.
We go back to the foundation.
We go back how big currency was, how big tariffs, the whole thing.
All economics were such a part of the founding of the nation, so much part really of the revolution that's never really talked about.
Number one, most historians just don't understand it.
Currency itself was a hot political topic.
This was the rise of not just Jackson and the populace about he wanted to get rid of the Bank of the United States at the time, but later William Jennings Bryan.
Remember, don't nail me to a cross of gold, the whole thing of currency, greenbacks, how we finance the Civil War.
It's fascinating, but it's important to your life today to understand it.
That's what we try to do.
End of the dollar empire.
Promocode ban it.
Birch gold promocode ban it.
You get it.
We got seven free installments.
Phillip and I are working on a bunch of stuff now.
We got a eighth and a ninth in process.
We're also going to come out with a physical copy after Labor Day.
We'll tell you about it.
And more importantly, we're going to do some other very special things that we're working on right now.
We'll talk to you about.
Philip, before I let you go, one of the things is, you know, President Trump, you know, he's whipping votes on Big Beautiful Bill.
They didn't give him a recess, so he doesn't have his staff, you know, the people in the second and third tier people that you need to actually make things happen.
He's cleaned up Washington, D.C. I think in 72 hours or in the process of it.
So many things going on.
And now he's, you know, doing the negotiation for peace in Ukraine.
The same time, they're coming back to him on the Gaza situation.
I mean, the guy's got any one of these problems with a broken a previous president.
One thing I'm most concerned about is I don't I don't think that the House and the Senate and other surrogates are doing enough to go out and sell the big beautiful bill in the in the supply side part of it.
Give me a minute on that.
We got about 90 seconds.
Give me a minute on that about about just the process of selling the big beautiful bill to the American people, the details of it.
phillip patrick
Look, I think people need to understand that austerity is not going to do the job here.
The only way to do this is to grow the economy and to do it at a rapid pace.
I agree with Malpha.
I mean, the bill is absolutely important.
We need a good environment for growth.
I think it's why the Federal Reserve do have to lower rates a little bit.
I was torn listening to Malpass and Cortez because I understand both sides of it.
But what we need right now is an injection of growth.
We need to do it fast.
President Trump has done an incredible job.
Even I've been surprised with the amount of revenue he's generated through tariffs, but also the amount of investment he's attracted to the United States.
But we need to push his bill forward.
At the end of the day, as you say, he's dealing with so many issues.
I don't think there's many people on the face of this earth that could balance that.
We've got to trust President Trump.
We've got to let him do what he does best and try and put some rocket fuel on this economy because it needs it badly now.

Thank you so much for joining us.
Look forward to seeing you talking about the Fed maybe later in the week.
Philip Patrick of Birchgold.
Short commercial break back in a moment.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
steve bannon
Like I said, I want to thank the team over at Birchgold.
Make sure if you haven't gotten the End of the Dollar Empire, Birchgold.com, promo code Bannon, End of the Dollar Empire, totally free.
Get you up to speed nomenclature process, all of it.
You need to understand that.
Particularly, Our next guest, Eduardo Bolsonaro.
Eduardo, thank you.
Since Lula is trying to lead the de-dollarization effort because he hates the United States, he's a Marxist, he's in business with and a partner of the Chinese Communist Party.
I might say a junior partner of the Chinese Communist Party.
Eduardo, big announcement coming out of state the other day.
Walk us through the latest of where the sanctions are, how the United States, the standoff between the United States and these demons in your home country of Brazil, sir.
eduardo bolsonaro
First, we have to thank a lot, President Trump.
He's the greatest leader ever in the history of the humanity, in my opinion.
And he started to give some pressure in the financial system of Brazil with the 50% tariffs and clearly saying that this is not only because commercial trade issues, but also because Brazil is living a huge institutional crisis.
And the Brazilian establishment is answering that, sending Gary Bolsonaro, for example, beginning Alexandre Moraes, this crazy judge from the Supreme Court, imposing him an ankle bracelet.
And at the end of this day, Trump took eight visas of the eleven judges of the Brazilian Supreme Court.
And then Alexandre Moraes doubled down again, sent Bolsonaro to house arrest and Trump sanctioned Alexandre Moraes with OFAC sanctions.
So now we are in a point where a partner of Alexandre Moraes inside of the Brazilian Supreme Court is deciding, is saying that the Brazilian banks should not follow the OFAC sanctions.
Why did they not understand?
that the Magnitsky Global Act is not an American law that the United States pretend to enforce in other countries.
It's only a law saying that, okay, if you are a bank and you want to have access to the financial market of the United States, you have to accomplish with the OFAC list of sanctioned.
And then you have Alexandre de Moraes.
So the banks of Brazil nowadays, they have to decide in following the Supreme Court or following the OFAC sanctioned list.
And I do believe that they do not have other options.
and they have to follow the Magnitsky Global Act law because otherwise they are going to bankrupt because you cannot survive as a bank without access to the greatest financial market in the world, which it is in the United States.
steve bannon
Is there anything else we can do except cutting off all imports from Brazil?
I mean, what's the, what are there any other steps that President Trump, Secretary Scott Besson, who you met, I put your picture up on my social media, Rubio, because people understand President Trump is very focused on this.
Scott Besson's very focused.
In fact, when Secretary Besant, our old colleague, met with Ed Water, he canceled the meetings with the finance minister.
Rubio's all over this.
You have many people that are all over.
Is there anything else for our audience to be thinking about that can still be done to assist your father in the people in Brazil we love so much?
eduardo bolsonaro
Yes.
First, The press in Brazil, they were saying that the Brazilians are not applying correctly, I mean, the banks are not applying correctly the Global Magnitsky Act, which means that Alejandro Morales.
that Alexandre Moraes, he's sanctioned, but he is still holding some bank accounts in Brazil.
And so this is the first asking that we did for Secretary Scott Bassett to properly inform or enforce the Global Magnitsky Act against Alexandre Moraes.
And now that I have other justice in the Supreme Court supporting Alexandre Moraes, he also can be sanctioned because through the American law of the Global Magnitsky Act, it says that it doesn't matter who work in support of the sanctioned, this person is also going to be sanctioned.
So this is another point.
And we are increasing the pressure to accomplish with the letter of President Trump to President Lula da Silva, which in the first paragraph talks about the law fair and the persecution against Jerry Bolsonaro, my father, our family and our supporters.
So to answer that, we need to approve what we have in the Congress, we call the Amnesty Bill.
It's a pardon coming from the Congress.
And we do need that not only to release Jerry Bolsonaro from jail and to let me go back to my country, Brazil, but also to have a full participation of the opposition in the next year's election.
steve bannon
Yeah.
Okay, we're going to be all over that.
Eduardo, your social media, how do people keep up with you?
We're all over the amnesty bill.
We'll have you back on next week to go through it.
Where do people go on social media to keep up minute by minute on this great fight for freedom in the great nation of Brazil, sir?
eduardo bolsonaro
You can go through Bolsonaro SP, reminding you Americans that we, Alexandre Jimorrow, blocked the rumble in Brazil.
So we do not have rumble in Brazil, but in all other social medias, I am Bolsonaro SP.
Thank you very much for this opportunity again, Steve.
You are doing a great work in favor of the freedom in Brazil.
steve bannon
Eduardo, the audience loves you, your family, the nation, the Bolsonaro movement down there.
It's incredible.
This is a fight that everybody's engaged in.
So thank you so much, sir.
I want to thank Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessant.
I want to thank Secretary of State Marco Rubio that have made this a priority.
I also want to thank the great Vince Haley over the Mexican Policy Council.
Vince Haley, a great man.
Working nonstop over there.
Also Darren Beatty over at State.
Just an incredible team.
Quite controversial.
The Make America Healthy Again movement and MAGA, if we're combined, nothing can beat us.
Gary Breca joins us now from Maha Action.
Gary, explain this audience this.
I'm telling this audience this leak of the Maha report.
What's going on?
Because our audience is quite dedicated.
We love Bobby Kennedy.
We love what he's trying to accomplish.
We just had the guys on last week about the mRNA, but there's some controversy about this leaked report.
Where do we stand?
You know better than anybody.
Where do we stand with this?
gary brecka
Well, I mean, you have to look at the traction that Bobby's had so far.
I mean, you're uprooting decades of deep state corruption.
You know, the corruption in our nutritional supply, the corruption in our nutritional research.
You know, when you just take a step back and you look that 74 percent of our nutritional research is funded by big food and big pharma, right?
This is how you get a food pyramid that says that Lucky Charms is more nutritious than grass fed steak.
And if you look at trying to uproot this level of corruption in our food supply and our nutritional research and our public policy in the way that we protect chemical companies, you know, look at Senate Bill, sorry, House Appropriations Bill 453, which is a bill that would give broad immunity to chemical companies like Chem China that make paraquat,
which is illegal in China, but then sold into the United States and being lobbied for broad protections in the United States against consumer revolt for harm.
And this is not just broad protection for chemical companies.
It's broad protection for chemical companies against known harm, meaning knowingly causing harm, not just unintentionally causing harm, but knowingly causing harm.
Companies like Bayer that make Roundup and glyphosate, which is a German company, not even a US company, that import these, that import these pesticides, herbicides, insekticides and poisons and heavily spray our crops in the United States, but they're not allowed to do this in their own mother country.
When Bobby Kennedy starts to stand up to this kind of corruption, you see this kind of malfunctions in the narrative.
So the report was leaked.
You'll have people on both sides.
of the board, some saying, hey, it doesn't go far enough.
Some say it goes way too far depending on which side of the aisle that you're on.
But the truth is that the milestones that Bobby has accomplished and the Maha movement has accomplished are not only here to stay, but they're taking up steam and momentum.
Moms across America end chronic diseases.
steve bannon
But hang on for a second, because the MAGA movement is one hundred percent down with Bobby and what's trying to happen.
I mean, this audience is the one that went fix bajonets on his confirmation.
So yeah, I think, and I want to make sure the audience understands this.
This is why we want to have you on a date.
There was some confusion,, particularly the way the media said that Bobby and the team had already been compromised, that the Maha report that leaked, what you just said right there, right?
Because, you know, we had Nicole on.
she did a great job about big ag and the big chemical companies, but the report, at least the way it was spun by some media outlets, that Bobby Kennedy and the Maha team had blinked, that it wasn't going to be aggressive enough in some of the areas you just talked about.
Number one, that's a narrative coming from big pharma, big ag, who want to, you know, disembowel Bobby Kennedy and the team right now.
Can you set it straight that that's not the fact that the team over there is just as focused and don't believe it the spin of what came out in this leaked report.
gary brecka
Do not believe the spin of what came out in this leaked report.
Don't believe that there's any daylight between President Trump and Bobby Kennedy.
Bobby Kennedy prayed for twenty years to be in the position he is in right now to have the kind of influence on public policy that he's having.
He is fully on board with Donald Trump's agenda.
He has no intention of running for president in 2028, despite some of that narrative.
The only way to stop this movement would be to drive a wedge between the White House and health and human services or between Bobby Kennedy and Donald Trump.
And that's just simply not going to happen.
This is as much a spiritual revolution as it is a revolution about corruption.
People are going to choose to be on one side of the aisle or the other.
The challenge for them now is that the court of public opinion is shifting.
It is going to become impossibly, it is going to become impossible to overcome the narrative of being on the opposite side of childhood cancers, max vaccinations, broad immunity for chemical companies at the expense of American citizens.
And so you're seeing the flailing, the absolute panic with their backs against the wall where they can't counter the narrative directly.
Nobody can raise their hand and say, hey, I want to get physical education out of the public school system.
We want more petroleum based food dyes in our food, more glyphosate, more genetically modified foods, more Roundup, more Paraquat.
So what they have to do is they have to try to attack the personality, which is Bobby Kennedy, and say, hey, his agenda is going too far.
It's infringing on our freedom of choice.
None of which is true.
You still have the freedom to choose all of the foods that you had to choose five years ago.
It's just that you won't be exposed to the types of poisons that are infecting our food supply.
I mean, somebody has to ask the question, how is it that we spend five trillion dollars a year on health care and we are the sickest, fattest, most disease-ridden nation in the world?
We lead the world in morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, multiple chronic diseases in a single biome, infant mortality and maternal mortality, and everybody wants to just raise their hand and say, it's working just fine.
Don't look over here at the statistics.
Look over here at the price and the availability of foods.
And so this report was purposely leaked.
There are some areas that I would agree have not yet gone far enough, but the report's not final.
There are some areas that people would argue have gone too far., but Bobby is towed the line, you know, masterfully on getting a lot of these companies, chemical companies, agricultural companies, food companies, and even pharma to come to the table ahead of these legislative changes.
And at the state level, he's succeeding in such a way that we've created a patchwork, a framework that now companies have to try to work around.
So it's becoming less expensive to conform than it is to fight this agenda.
So I think that, you know, the fight has only just begun.
You know, you're talking about an industry with a multi trillion dollar war chest, um, also that has a media narrative that's very cooperative to their messaging.
But I don't think it's going to succeed.
I mean, it's becoming very unpopular for politicians to be on the other side of the Maha movement.
steve bannon
Can you hang over a second?
Because I want to hold you to a commercial break.
You just talked about the one thing I think's even changed from 2016 when President Trump first came in is the consolidation of some of these industries, big ag, big pharma.
uh you know big finance big tech that the concentration of power and their brutal use of lobbyists and law firms i mean the concentration of power so somebody like bobby kennedy which was tough enough to fight a decade ago, to fight it now is almost, you know, incomprehensible about the pressure that's on every day.
So we're going to take a short commercial break.
hometitelock.com promo code Steve.
The $1 million triple lock protection.
You get 24-hour coverage, alerts in the middle of the night, anybody's messing with your title, and a $1 million restoration project if all else fails.
Every dream you've ever had is in that home.
Make sure it doesn't turn into a nightmare by somebody getting their hands on your title.
Short commercial break.
unidentified
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banner.
steve bannon
Welcome back.
So Gary, give me a couple of minutes on how this audience can help.
Bobby Kennedy is essentially on a crusade that we back him on.
And the Maha and Maga coming together in 2024 is what led to this amazing victory with President Trump as our head.
But like I said, the consolidation of power under Biden because Lena Khan and everybody, they were just kind of thrown out.
There was no control of the concentration of corporate power.
And now you got these oligarchs that are even at the tech side even worse.
How does Kennedy fight it?
And how can this audience help, sir?
unidentified
He froze.
steve bannon
He froze?
Okay.
We'll get him unfrozen in a second.
Let's go ahead.
Can we reboot him?
Do I have time to reboot him?
I want to get that answer.
Bobby Kennedy is fighting a tough fight.
I got to tell you this leaked report and what they were trying to show is, oh, Bobby's, you know, he's succumbed to pressure from industry.
President Trump's unbacked.
Nothing can be farther from the truth.
President Trump backs him in full tilt boogie.
Tej Gill.
You know, all the guys came over and they're all talking big as you and I talked about.
They're all going to have security guarantees.
They're all going to have troopsops.
They're going to have boots on the ground.
President Trump can just be a court.
We can just coordinate.
They're going to do this.
They're going to do that.
Kirstarmer's not off the freaking plane where the head of the British military is sitting there going, well, no, I think we're going to take one of the ports and maybe, you know, look at the sky.
We'll do the air.
But we can't have boots on the ground.
We certainly can't have them at the front because everybody knows this is going to be the West Bank to the one thousandth power because folks.
Two million people have been killed and wounded over there and the place looks like Belgium and it looks like Flanders Field in 1917, 1918.
So it's ridiculous.
I thank you so much given, I don't know, you spent, you had 18 tours in various hell holes defending your country.
Right now, you're the premier coffee maker in the world.
Talk to me about your coffee, sir.
tej gill
Yeah, 16, Steve, 16 tours over there.
But yeah, Warpath Coffee, it's the best coffee.
Keir Starmer should be drinking it.
It'll bring him back to reality.
Warpath.coffee is a website.
And as always, use promo code warroom.
You get 20% off.
And it's no gimmickicks.
It's literally the best coffee out there.
All you have to do is look at the reviews.
We have 12,500 five star reviews on the website, which is a huge number of reviews for a website.
Usually you only see that kind of number on some of these super high volume Amazon stores, and we have those actually on our website.
So just go on the reviews, read the website.
We roast it on a perforated drum.
That makes the coffee we don't burn it.
We don't even burn the tips of the beans.
So roasting on a perforated drum is the key the way we roast it.
And we use premium beans and they're always fresh.
We're not buying cheap beans from India or wherever you know we we use premium beans from South and Central America we pay the price for them and they are amazing so you don't need any milk any sugar you can just drink it straight black it's warpath.coffee and use promo code warroom you get 20 off you're part of the warroom possibly not not not not can you so the theory of the case in making this was uh My man is a former Naval
steve bannon
personnel, one of our commandos, the Navy Seals, right?
And of course, in the Navy, you have to drink Navy brew all the time, whether going you're going on a mid-watch and a destroyer or you're in your 16th deployment uh as a contractor or seal and navy brew is uh normally burned right uh because the coffee's been on forever and they don't get the best they don't get the best so uh taju's thing when he went from my security when he headed my security detail to starting his own coffee his company says, we got to make the best in the world.
You have made the best in the world.
Not only do you not need cream and sugar, because that's all to kill the acidity.
It's the acidic nature of coffee.
That's why people do it, because they still want the kick of the caffeine.
Here's the theory of the case with Warpath Coffee.
And the reason it has 12,500 five-star reviews, folks, the coffee is made to be consumed as coffee is meant to be consumed, and that is black.
This is the champagne of coffees.
I know because I'm a coffee aficionado, right?
I live on coffee, and this is the best.
told taj at the time and it took him years to perfect it This wasn't slapped together at the last second.
Taj really went through this very systematically and thoroughly.
And like you said, you wanted to have coffee for the seals that was as good as as the equipment that you used to fight with, right?
And we had you guys had the best equipment.
You wanted the best coffee, sir.
tej gill
That's right.
That's right.
Everything I do, I always modify everything and tweak it and make it the best.
Like my cars, my guns, my kids, everything.
So the coffee, you know, I didn't want to put put a crappy product out there.
I didn't want to have a gimmick coffee.
Like 90% of the coffee out there, it's burnt and it's bitter and it's acidic.
So we put forward the best coffee.
It's smooth.
You can drink it straight black, even the dark roast., it's still dark, but it's smooth.
It's not like bitter and sour and sharp.
It doesn't taste like you're drinking, like you're sucking on copper.
steve bannon
No, when you did it, I said the test will be the, and you named it the Marino's blend.
I appreciate that.
But the dark roast, which took us a couple of years, took you a couple of years to perfect it.
I kept saying, hey, I don't think you did it yet.
You did it.
And this is, and I love dark roast.
I won't drink anything but dark roast.
I will drink his espresso.
I won't drink the blends.
People love the blends.
People come to me and say, hey Steve, the holiday blends.
he has.
In fact, I think the summer is so popular.
You sell it year-round.
I am a drink it hot and drink it black.
And I'm telling you, this is the champagne of coffee.
It's the best coffee I've ever had flat out.
And don't take it from me.
Because you know, I don't do a lot of sales and stuff.
Don't take it from me.
And don't take it from Tej.
Take it from people just like yourself that went and tried it.
And these are all coffee drinkers.
Tej, one more time.
Where do people go?
tej gill
warpath.coffee is promo code warrim it's 20 off right now and just go on the website and read the reviews that's all you have to do do.
Warpath.coffee, promo code war room, and it is the best coffee.
It's like no kidding, gourmet premium coffee.
steve bannon

tej gill

steve bannon
