This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on this people.
You're going to not 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're trying 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?
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, this country will be saved.

Warum.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banks.
steve bannon
Friday, 12th of September in the year of Lord 2025.
You know, Dave Bratt is another guy.
Like uh, he's not Charlie Kirk, but he's a guy like a Charlie Kirk.
And here's what I mean.
These are people that have they have a natural gentleness to them.
They are gentlemen.
Um they also have a they never get cynical.
They never get down.
There's always kind of a light in their eyes, and and and and a in a in a you can see the burst of life all the time.
They're just good people.
They're good people to have random.
They have a Dave Bratt has a he has a twinkle in his eye all the time.
Charlie Kirk had that.
They're not mean-spirited people, they don't talk mean about people.
They give people access.
They're just good guys.
They're nice people.
What is Dave?
Dave Bratt been on here for the last month.
What is Dave?
And Dave Bratt is a was a standard stock Republican.
When I first met him when he was professor at Randolph Macon.
And uh Maxwell, the great director of Gettysburg and Gods and Generals, the two great Civil War epics, found this guy to run against Eric Canner.
And I laughed at Maxwell.
I laughed, I said, I'm not gonna have a meeting with this guy.
You can't do that.
This guy's a economics professor at Randolph Macon.
He's never going to defeat Eric Cantor.
That's impossible.
He did it with no money.
And kind of a Charlie Kirk method, had young people that did it.
And he the only time in the history of this republic since its founding that a sitting majority leader was defeated in a primary.
And that primary was so strategic because the next day Zuckerberg and Facebook were coming out for a huge rollout meeting on amnesty.
That all got shut down.
It changed the course of history.
And Dave Brad, he be he was a Tea Party guy, and he was he was he was um, you know, kind of this Tea Party revolution that then became MAGA.
And what has Dave Brad been talking about on this show for the last two months?
You would think Dave Bratt is Mike Benz.
You would think Dave Bratt is Darren Beattie.
You would he's talking about you would think he's Raheem Kassam.
These guys that really look at the entire apparatus and look at Europe and Ukraine and all of it.
He talks about a color revolution going on by the FBI and the CIA against the American people.
Antifa's part of that.
They're trying to cut at the basics of your of the beliefs of the of the founding basic facts and beliefs of this republic.
to new Jerusalem, to sow chaos and to sow disorder And to get your mind all so that a Katie Brick can say, no, we just need unity.
We need to sit down, we need unity.
No, ma'am, we don't need unity.
Unity is surrender.
That is surrender, and we are never going to surrender.
And that cussedness and that grit and that determination is what has made this country.
You think the revolutionary generation didn't have people?
No, we gotta have unity with the British.
We gotta have unity with the Tories here.
We're at the founding stage of the greatest empire it's ever gonna be.
Of course we don't want to break out.
Are you you people are dangerous?
We need unity.
We need to come together.
What was their response?
You saw it.
In Boston Harbor and in Concord and Lexington and on and on in years, seven years.
What was it?
Seven years of fighting and never quitting, having lost 80% of the battles of the revolution.
It's that cussedness in developing this country across this continent.
You ever been out west?
We're out west right now.
You ever been out west?
If you haven't, or drive across, not fly across and see, and just go, how did these people do this?
How did these women do this?
How did you raise a family and have children out here when there was nothing in every day you had to get your sustenance in your heat?
How did they do it?
They were giants.
And they were they had cussiness.
We owe them to fight for this to our last breath, like Charlie Kirk did before they executed him.
Taj Gill, you've seen these people up close and personal.
We're going through a color revolution.
The deep state is involved.
Oh, Bannon, you're a conspiracy.
Was I conspiracy theorist?
On the pandemic when we called it on the stolen on the stolen election when we called it, on President Trump coming back in the years in the wilderness of President Trump at first.
When you know half of Breitbart quit on me.
Because I don't give a damn, but you want to quit, quit.
He's the future.
This is what's going to save our country.
And I don't care what you have to say about it.
I don't give a damn.
Like I don't give a damn now.
We're never gonna surrender.
I don't want to hear any Republican that talks about unity, any Republican talks about toning it down, is prepared to give up their country.
You're either with us or you're against us.
These people are evil on their saying now.
They've really tossed up a thing.
It's you know, they're saying these people are evil.
Look what they said about Kirk.
Look at how they're laughing and mocking Charlie Kirk.
Look how they're gleeful about Charlie Kirk.
You seen the video?
Don't have the video block, watch the video.
Watch it over and over and over again until it's emblazoned in you.
And what they did to Charlie Kirk, and now they want to tell, oh, we gotta tone it down.
The rhetoric's getting too heated.
Taj Gill, you've seen this scum up close and personal.
unidentified
What is what is it like, sir?
tej gill
Yeah, I dealt with them three times, Steve.
Um, in 2015, we're doing a security detail for a conspirative conservative speaker.
We take to colleges.
The first time was at UC Davis, and I had never heard of Antifa before that.
Their event ended up getting canceled, right?
As it was getting started.
They showed up, they started rioting outside, they started breaking windows.
And I don't think if I can remember correctly, I don't think anybody was hurt that time, but they got the events canceled, which is the definition of domestic terrorists, right?
We have a political guy from a different party gonna speak, and then you use intimidation and coercion to change the the narrative.
And then the next time was up at um University of Seattle, Washington, and that was a big event.
And the Seattle Police Department and the uh the campus police were there, they're they're there in force, luckily, because hundreds and hundreds of these Antifa guys showed up there.
They had signs hanging from the overpass on the freeways saying they're gonna kill us.
And the the police surrounded the entire building, and they they let all the people in, the people that wanted to see the event, and the Antifa just started going crazy.
There was a shooting outside, there's somebody stabbed.
One of the SWAT team guys came up to me when our person was on stage speaking, and uh SWAT team guy was like, hey, somebody just got shot outside.
You want to cancel the event and get out here, out of here.
And I was like, no, let them finish speaking.
You know, otherwise they win.
So we wrapped the event up and then we drove off campus.
We had, I think we had like four or six SWAT team suburbans, escort us off campus, and they escorted us like 10 miles away from the campus because they know these guys basically control the whole city.
They they have free the Antifa has free reign up there in Seattle.
They they roam around everywhere and do what they want because the political environment, the police are basically have a hands-off policy on these guys.
And then the third one was down at UC Berkeley, and we had already dealt with them a couple times.
So we ranked up security and the of course the campus police on at UC Berkeley.
They didn't want us to carry our weapons, so we're unarmed and just relying on them.
And Antifa showed up, and that time they started shooting uh fireworks, roaming candles and mortars at the building we're in, and they actually took the bottom floor of the building.
They pushed the police out.
The police police actually gave up the bottom floor to them.
So the police were with we all went up to the roof, and we're like barricaded on the roof, and they all had their guns out, pointing at the stairwell.
And then the police finally took the bottom story of the building back, and then we went downstairs to the parking garage to get our to get in the car and get out of there.
And the Antifa actually lit the parking garage entrance on fire and barricaded it.
So I was driving in the lead vehicle.
I lined it up.
I was just gonna run them all over and you know, plow through and leave.
And um the campus police basically begged me not to run anybody over.
So I was like, okay, fine.
How are we gonna get out of here?
And they had a they had an underground tunnel.
So we went through this underground tunnel, and luckily we had foresight, so we put a stash car on the other side of campus in an overflow parking lot, and we went through these tunnels under the campus and came out and got in our stash car and left.
But these guys have free reign in the Bay Area in Portland and in Seattle.
We didn't we're supposed to do a Portland event, but it got canceled because of weather.
It was like a crazy snowstorm.
Luckily, we didn't go there, but they have free reign of the area because of the political environment.
The mayors are liberal, liberal, the city councils are liberal, and they're very, very like far left radicalized liberals, and they let the Antifa terrorize the entire towns.
They do whatever they want.
The police has a hands-off policy on them unless it gets really bad.
And you saw it when last time Trump was in office, these people, the Antifa were attacking a federal building.
The U.S. Marshals defended it, but they were strictly on the defense, and the Antifa were shining high-powered lasers in their eyes, and I think they blinded one of the marshals from uh remember correctly.
But they need to be designated as a domestic terrorist organization, 100% full stop, no doubt.
They are terrorizing the people, U.S. citizens, they've killed people, they've maimed people, they put people in the hospital, they intimidate people, and it's for political purse uh purposes.
It's it's for this left-wing ideology.
They're basically the foot soldiers of the Democratic Party, them and Black Lives Matter.
And last time when we were talking about um designating them as domestic terrorists, I I think it was Adam Schiff.
They they talked to him and he was like, they don't even exist, it's just an idea, it's not an organization.
It is a fully funded organization.
George Soros and Alex Soros fund them through their NGO network, and these people are funded, they're organized, they're equipped, and then they're actually radical, like this kid that shot Charlie Kirk.
When you when you go to these colleges, you get get introduced in these networks of these radicals, and people like that, they they get radicalized online.
It's just like radical Islam, it's just as dangerous as radical Islam.
This this uh Black Lives Matter, the Antifa, this whole left-wing ideology, and it comes from the college professors, and it's we're three generations into brainwashing.
It started after World War II, you know, my parents and then my generation, part of them have been brainwashed, and then my children's generation, part of them have been brainwashed.
It's three generations deep of brainwashing, and it starts in the colleges.
So going after Antifa is part of the part of it, but Trump needs to withhold funding to these colleges if they're spewing out anti-American propaganda.
It's not just about the Palestinian protesters, it's the actual college professors that are teaching their students to hate America and to hate themselves.
That's the problem.
steve bannon
I say this all the time.
This the school, this thing is so far deeper than anti-Semitism.
Yeah, it's a lot of anti-Semitism, but it's so far deeper than that.
I want to they're the brown shirts of the Democratic Party.
They're the SA, they're the brown shirts.
Uh you've been on, is it 16 deployments, both as a Navy SEAL then as a contractor, basically as a as a Navy SEAL that's off the government's payroll?
16 tours.
You have been in the Middle East, you've been in other places, the other bad uh place bad actors.
You've you've met and fought uh in defense of your country as a patriot, some pretty bad ombres, right?
It's pretty tough ombre.
tej gill
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Yep.
steve bannon
How can you do that?
tej gill
Yeah, in Iraq, Afghanistan, in Africa.
steve bannon
Yeah.
And Africa, the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan, all of it.
And can Antifa give as good as they get?
Do they rack up there with what the Navy SEALs are deployed against and other parts of the world?
tej gill
No, these guys are uh these guys will fold like a cheap knife, Steve.
They're these are the generation that was raised where everybody's a winner, and if somebody hurts your feelings, you can go hide in the safe space and then they've become Antifa.
So you know, you these are the guys you they uh um get you going, and then you punch them in the face, and then they want you to get arrested.
These are the these are those guys.
They are weak, and also the believe it or not, college professors are part of Antifa.
So the college professors that are radicalizing these students and turning them in Antifa, they go out with them at night and put on the black mask and cause chaos.
So no, the the once if Trump designates them as a terrorist organization and unleashes the FBI, the CIA, the NSA on these people, they're gonna fold like a cheap knife.
But the problem is they've been protected, they are the protectees of the Democratic Party.
They are the protectees of the Democratic mayors, city councilmen, and the colleges.
unidentified
So that's that's what's going on.
steve bannon
Hang on one second.
I want to bring in Dr. Bradley Thayer.
You see, the B-roll we're showing you is Portland.
The president got asked this question the other day about not George Floyd time in Portland, but now in the last couple weeks, and this is about ICE agents.
This is about stopping ice races and going to where the federal building were uh where the uh ice agents are, customs and border, things like that, border patrol.
Dr. Bradley Thayer, uh, what would it take?
Uh first off, do you think we could actually designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization?
bradley thayer
Sure.
Terrorism is coercion, it's the use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians in the pursuit of political goals, Steve.
So Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization because it does precisely that, targeting American civilians in pursuit of their ideological goals, which are communism at root, uh, and thus um directly targeting our constitutional republic and the political and civil rights uh of uh Americans.
And so uh it operates as Tage was alluding, it operates directly, of course.
It operates through in coordination or through front organizations.
Uh Tage mentioned Soros, but also Arabella, Tides, Act Blue, uh, and others.
And it also uh serves to inspire and motivate um young Americans uh through its culture uh of terrorism.
And so when we think about um Antifa through the lens of domestic political terrorism, we can see that it it serves three major objectives.
First, it's muscle, right?
These guys are the shock troops uh of um of the left uh of and so it serves as really um the way the Red Guard served for the Bolsheviks or for Mao Zedong.
Or Steve, as you mentioned for the brown shirts, the essay for uh the Nazis, these guys are about taking over the streets, physically dominating spaces, and thereby intimidating, coercing uh uh Americans in that environment.
Secondly, and very importantly, they're also the recruiting office.
And they're the higher education, really, for so many young Americans who are attracted uh to their culture, to their uh um uh their aims.
Uh and so they're uh really a higher, they're a university for street fighters.
Uh and uh it's important to keep that in mind in terms of what they train, how they train and how uh they deploy uh their members.
And then thirdly, it also serves as a shield for politicians, for the media, for businesses, for academics to hide behind, as terrorist organizations always do.
Uh Steve, I'll take your the Irish example, right?
Uh there was the IRA, provisional IRA, who were the gunmen, but then there was Sinn Fein, right?
The political party who had plausible deniability, right?
They could say, well, we don't have anything to do with the gunmen.
The gunmen are just out there uh doing uh conducting their terrorists act.
Well, they serve, of course, a very important function uh in um the political warfare uh waged against the British, uh, of course.
So we need to think about Antifa in that way.
It certainly is muscle.
Uh it certainly acts as terrorist organizations do.
It's a recruiting station, it recruits individuals, it trains them uh and deploys them, and it's a shield for politicians.
And so this is has all the hallmarks of a terrorist organization, it has all the hallmarks when you lift up the rug.
Obviously, RICO, there could be so many uh measures that could be employed uh against it, but we need to understand that.
So they have, as Tage also mentioned, supported the maiming, the killing uh of Americans.
Uh they've coerced, they've suppressed, they seek to demoralize their political opposition, that is uh the American people.
And so on a daily basis, they're violating America's rights uh as they seek to undermine our constitutional republic and the political values that Americans have, our political culture, our history, they're seeking to destroy in order to impose their totalitarian aims, right?
Which is what they seek to do at the end of the day.
steve bannon
And this is, and if you look at the colleges where most of this general, you're never again going to have somebody, you know, Ben Shapiro or whoever does these college chores, you're never gonna able to be able to kind of freelance it and engage like Charlie Kirk has.
You're gonna have to have more security, uh, and more things.
They've already, in that regard, they've already won, and they know that.
I want to just go before we're gonna go to break in a second.
Uh, and fascist ideology and communist ideology, the Bolsheviks, the Chinese Communist Party, the fascist in uh in Italy, uh and in Nazi Germany.
This is a central part of when they say that that CIA and FBR, the deep states running a color revolution against the American people, a core component of fascist ideology and communist ideology, which all gets to authoritarianism and then a dictatorship, you must have a group like this, right?
That every time you look, they have the SA or they have the Red Guard, or the Bolsheviks have these different different groups.
You have to have, they need to take the streets and they need to have violence.
Because right now, folks, trust me, there are so many people that are sitting there going, well, Charlie Kirk was the bravest Of the brave, you know, can I do that?
Or no, now I want to have a group hug.
Now I want to call for unity.
They understand that violence works.
They understand that taking the streets work.
Why?
History has shown them in Germany and in Italy and in China and in Russia, right?
That these tactics work, and that's how they predicated upon it.
Have they not, Dr. Thayer?
bradley thayer
Yes, they have.
The point of terrorism is coercion through violence and the threat of violence, Steve.
So that's uh by definition, they're going to be violent, and it's very important for them to do.
We also want to keep in mind there are foreign ties here.
It's not just Arabella tied Soros.
That's bad enough, but the CCP certainly is going to have a hand here as well as other international actors who wish America ill and wish the American people uh ill as well.
So when you lift up the rug again, I think we're going to find that there are a lot of ties to the Chinese Communist Party and other international actors who are seeking to use uh this organization, this domestic terrorist organization,
uh, as shock troops for the aims that we've we've discussed uh this evening in order to um weaken the United States, undermine the United States, and to do their utmost uh to uh uh to destroy us, which is uh the point of it.
So we need to recognize uh the seriousness of this threat.
I think Tage is right in terms of when the power of the U.S. government's employed against them, but we also want to recognize it's also a symptom uh really of a tremendous danger.
That there are a lot of folks who are opposed to the American way of life, the American Constitution domestically, and they're backed up not just by foundations, not just by George Shoros and his son, but by the Chinese Communist Party and other really bad actors.
So we gotta keep that in mind uh too when we're thinking through that.
We shouldn't allow this to exist, um, and we need to employ uh the efforts that we have, uh both uh all the means that we can employ to to round this up, because this this fellow who killed Charlie Kirk, the assassin, Tyler Robinson, or alleged uh assassin, right, was a typical fellow traveler.
He was inspired by these guys, right?
Uh he doesn't know the history I would suspect of communist thought or or how he's being employed as a tool uh really to conduct such an evil end, but nonetheless, how many of these guys are out there?
The answer is far too many that we're seeing on a weekly basis, and these individuals uh wittingly or unwittingly are conducting the political assassinations.
They're undermining, if you will, the cement of our society by killing our leaders, uh, by undermining um and um uh essentially deflating, demoralizing uh political supporters who want to fight them, yeah, and who are doing their utmost at the end of the day to destroy the United States of America.
And we recognize that we can understand the gravity of the threat and the need to deal with it, so that we do not have this because terrorist violence escalates.
If it's not stopped, it's gonna escalate.
And the way to stop it is, Steve, as you've stressed time and again, is to stop it, right?
To actually stop it.
steve bannon
We must stop it.
Uh, Dr. Thayer's working on some things for us.
I'm hopefully um briefing some people and hopefully maybe we would turn that into an article and post it.
Dr. Thayer, your um your social media coordinates, your your material is always the best.
bradley thayer

Night after night, this is the scene just outside the ICE facility in Portland.
Hundreds of residents live in apartments just feet away.
They routinely call police about the noise and crime.
unidentified
Calling up the protesters.
steve bannon
They've cornered two women out here.
unidentified
They need help.
Please send the cops.
dan springer
But the cops did not come.
Residents on their own.
steve bannon
Damn, it's midnight!
unidentified
We the people need this week.
dan springer
Protesters brought what looked like a guillotine.
Some confrontations end with residents getting assaulted.
First a bullhorn, then a fist.
No arrest was made despite the injuries.
On this night in late June, federal police used tear gas and flashbangs.
Again, no Portland police in sight.
It came out later in court that one officer told another, if it were not ice, we could assist directly.
Julie Parrish sued the city to force police to enforce local laws.
unidentified
This is a full-on abdication of police duty in a four-block radius that impacts some of the most vulnerable Oregonians that we have.
Now they've said, meh, we're just gonna let violent rioters do this for 80 straight nights, and we don't care.
dan springer
Portland police responded, we take these concerns seriously.
At the same time, we are committed to protecting individuals' rights to express themselves peacefully.
unidentified
The Portland approach is pathetic.
It's childish.
And if you enable people to behave the way the protesters have and wreck the neighborhood for everyone else, they will come back and wreck it the next night.
dan springer
The protest chaos, which began with riots aimed at social justice in 2020, has severely damaged Portland's reputation.
It's now ranked by the nonpartisan Urban Land Institute as the second worst place in America to invest.
With six and a half million square feet of commercial vacancy, the top 20 office towers have lost 57% of their combined value in five years.
Portland's elected leaders ignored our request for comment about what some are calling the city's death spiral.
As for those nightly protest police admitted to us that they have not made a single arrest out there since June 18th.
unidentified
Scenes like these unfolding here as Portland's Antifa aggressively protest Trump's immigration policies outside the federal ice detention facility.
Protests have turned violent, rock throwing, smashing windows.
Some have been arrested, charged with arson, assault.
But now it sucks.
Tara!
Tara Fall, Portland resident and mother of four, has been documenting the city's chaos for years.
Go to the governor!
She's been brutally attacked and assaulted.
I was just...
Wow.
steve bannon
That's one of the great cities in this country if you've ever been to Portland.
Beautiful city.
Got the Rose Festival there.
The Navy's always invited.
Incredible.
Third fleet goes up there.
Right there.
They've taken it.
Don Powers joins us.
Don't the chairman of the Republican Party down the 6th Congressional District, right south of Portland.
Uh has a gathering of Eagles.
Uh I talked uh last week.
He had this amazing or two weeks ago.
You had an amazing get together.
You're very MAGA.
Uh Don, tell us about Portland.
It's like it's incomprehensible.
People thought this ended with George Floyd.
It may be in some regards worse now because it's it's about the ICE agents and trying to enforce immigration policy.
Uh, your thoughts, sir.
don powers
Well, I'm not I'm not sure I can add a whole lot more to that.
I mean, it is unbelievable what's happened to that city and it's absolute chaos.
Um, you know, it's it's extremely underreported, first of all.
I mean, it's nice that uh that Fox did that that piece, but this the siege on on that ice building has been like three months going on for three months.
You know, it's nearing you know a hundred days with no intervention from the feds.
You know, and uh they say that the tr you know, Trump admin is you know, administration is taking this seriously because you know, Antifa, you know, directly says that it's ICE agents that are Nazis.
I mean, the the Trump administration needs to take it more seriously, I guess is my point, because they are literally saying that the the ice agents are are Nazi Gestapo and they need to be killed.
When they start saying that kind of stuff, and after what we just saw with Charlie, we know what they're capable of.
And we know that a few years ago here in Portland, we had a good man from Patriot Prayer who was murdered and slain in the street as well.
I mean, we have an another gentleman who uh recently during this ICE protest, uh the Antifa threw gasoline on him, and he's got burns, second degree burns on his body, and they refuse to prosecute it.
They say it's uh it's a misdemeanor, and they're not prosecuting anybody for throwing gasoline on someone, and we know that they're capable of uh going even further with that, right?
We've we've seen uh where they uh recently a gentleman threw gasoline on a elderly couple someplace and and actually set them on fire.
I mean, this is this is very serious, and I just at some point I want to know what the rules of engagement are.
I mean, wouldn't this cash going to consider them a you know uh a terrorist organization, domestic terrorist, and uh, you know, start uh allowing full engagement here because this is ridiculous.
The police, as as you heard on the other report, won't even come in within four blocks of that area.
They just it's just absolute chaos.
And uh the residents are scared, the residents are complaining, and the police don't do it.
If they're not there to protect the residents, then what are what are they what what are they there for?
steve bannon
Do you believe that they're organized enough?
Do you do you believe as a citizen uh and do you think the citizens of Portland would would support you that they are a domestic terrorist, that these Antifa people doing this now for what you said three months solid uh are a domestic terrorist organization?

I believe that they are absolutely because if you if you lived in Portland or or any of the events that we that are put on here, they absolutely terrorize people.
You know, one of the definitions that they have about about you know, an organization like like Antifa is whether they're quote, you know, organized, which means do they have a leadership hierarchy and everything, and therefore since they don't have this leadership hierarchy, nobody's necessarily directly taking orders, then you know they're not considered uh, you know, a organization, right, or a uh domestic terrorists.
But they have a communications, you know, they have communications, they have private communication, they have secret communications, they communicate, they bring they they haul people in from out of state, they put they they rent homes and and and uh like Airbnb type homes and and then put them in them.
Um and obviously they're coordinated.
So whether they have a direct traditional hierarchy structure of uh, you know, a general, uh uh a colonel and so forth, lieutenants, they do.
They have those channels and they have communication in that same capacity.
It's just not as formal as we're used to, so therefore it's it's it's as if nobody knows or wants to uh you know you can't put them in the box that you want to say this is the definition of an organization.
You've got your president, your vice president, you've got your COO, your CFO, etc.
And therefore, um they don't want to I don't I don't understand the fear of it, right?
There's like this fear of of actually just calling them what they are, which is a domestic terrorist organization.
And just because you can't put a structure on traditional structure that you're used to doesn't mean they're not out there terrorizing right the state.
Doesn't mean they're not out there terrorizing the citizenship.
I mean, look what's happened.
You just saw in that report.
How many businesses have left, how many people have been attacked?
You know, there's been a few protesters have been arrested for federal crimes.
Um, but they all get released, right?
It's it's uh yeah, it's disgusting.
steve bannon
Portland's a pretty liberal progressive uh city.
Would the citizens uh uh uh support this?
Or the because you see that the neighborhood they're talking about, it looks like working class people, the woman's coming out screaming, I gotta get to sleep, I gotta go to work.
Uh do you think the citizens would support uh a bigger crackdown?
don powers
You know, that's a great question.
You would think that they would.
You know, the last time we had this kind of rioting going on, we literally had a hundred and eighty straight nights of rioting in Portland.
And people, when I tell them that around the country, they shake their head, go, no, that's not Paul.
We didn't hear about that.
And that's absolutely true.
Well, 180 straight nights of writing.
This is at 100 nights, 100 days, whatever already with this thing with the ice building.
It's it's horrible.
And you would think that the people in Portland, right, would demand that their police do something about it.
But here it is, and they haven't, you know.
So what is it that makes the citizenry of Portland continue to elect the officials that they do, the mayor that they do, uh the police force, uh, and not want to not want to want change.
A lot of the people on the outside, I'm just on the periphery of Portland, and I've been down there at the federal building, and uh, you know, when when ICE has been, or excuse me, when Antifa's been down there attacking people.
Um, I've been at other events where the Proud Boys have put something on and I've gone down there and talked with them and met with them and and stood in line with them.
Uh, and and it's unbelievable to me that the people of Portland specifically won't do you won't rise up and say this is enough.
That's what it takes.
You know, there's this whole thing is about we just have to all it takes, right, is mass noncompliance.
All it takes is all of us just sitting there saying, you know, we've had enough of this and we're done.
And and it will go, it will stop.
But we're not doing that.
And the people on the outside of Portland have this mentality of just let about this what Portland gets and and let them rot.
You know, let they want to lose 50% of their businesses, they want to they want to have this chaos, then vote differently, behave differently.
But how can you do that when you've got elections that are stolen and corrupt and you've got mail in voting like we have here in Oregon?
You know, we we were the first state to do it, and before we had mail in voting here in Oregon, we had a uh a Republican governor about 66% of the time, right?
Two thirds of the time, let's say.
And we haven't had one since.
That is not by accident, that is by design.
And uh until we take this thing back, until we take it back, we have you know same-day voting at the precinct level, hand, you know, hand counted, uh, and we can have confidence in our elections.
This is never going to stop.
But we the people need to rise up and and have a uh and and put a stop to this.
It's up to us.
I think you mentioned it earlier, right?
You know, with nobody's gonna come in and rescue us.
It's up to us.
It's our country, it's our republic to keep it.
steve bannon
Yeah.
We we we are the cavalry.
The the would don't wait for you, don't be a homesteader waiting for the cavalry to ride.
You are the cavalry.
Last question, I know a lot of the work you're doing gathering eagles out there, you're getting more and more young people involved.
This event you had had tremendous support from young people.
What is the impact, do you think, sir, on the assassination of Charlie Kirk?
don powers
Well, you know, we had uh two of the turning point people here because there's a college rep, right, and there's a uh high school rep for Turning Point here in Oregon.
And uh, you know, this tragedy happened uh, you know, just a couple days ago.
I am I know they have individual tonight, by the way.
Corin college and turning point is putting that on.
Um I'm really hopeful that this will give people the I mean Charlie was incredibly courageous to sit there on campus like that to go into the you know into the lair of of evil and and sit there and and invite people to have a conversation.
And I'm I'm I'm hopeful that that that will inspire a lot of of these college kids, especially to get to to get more involved and to be more vocal and to be more bold because we we've got to get them engaged.
You know, at some point you and I are you know, we're gonna go silent into that night.
Well, maybe not so silent, but we're gonna, you know, it comes for for whom the bell tolls, right?
But they've got it to pick up the torch, and we need to be able to hand it off to them.
We need to reach out to them and educate them and inspire them the way that Charlie did.
Uh I don't know what impact it's going to have.
I'm I'm very hopeful that it's gonna have a positive impact and they're gonna rise up and uh and take this as a you know as a calling.
steve bannon
Uh Don, uh social media, where do people go to find out everything you guys are doing to fight the good fight in uh in the great state of Oregon, sir?
don powers

Uh And you can find me on Telegram at uh Gideon300.
steve bannon
Okay, great.
Uh we'll put that up to Grayson will put that out.
Don uh powers, uh, thank you so much.
Congressional District 6, Republican Party Chair.
Thank you.
Folks, in all these Washington, Oregon, California, you got so many great MAGA patriots.
You add them up, you got millions and millions and millions.
There's they're looking for knowing that people have their back and uh are not forgetting about them.
Taj Gill.
Uh your thoughts, sir.
But if you were if I got you three minutes with President Trump, I'm gonna give you three minutes right now.
If you got three minutes to talk to the president who loves guys like you, right?
You're you're you're you're you're from central casting, as he would say.
Uh what would you tell him?
tej gill
Um I tell him to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization right away.
It's uh it's imperative to the country.
I mean, look, they they just killed one of our heroes, one of our leaders.
I mean, this guy is going around the country speaking to young men and women at the college campuses where they're actually intimidated, and they're not allowed to be proud of who they are.
And that, you know, and he he actually he gave the affirmation.
He he let them know that it's okay to be conservative, it's okay to be who you are, and it's proud to be proud to be an American is a good thing.
And he gave them a platform, and it's it's sickening that Antifa was able to radicalize this kid in Utah online, and this kid went out and murdered somebody at a at a college campus, uh somebody very special.
It's it's absolutely sickening.
So I think it is imperative for Trump to designate Antifa a terrorist domestic terrorist organization immediately, and it's also imperative to go after the college professors that are teaching anti-American rhetoric at their colleges.
They're teaching the kids, you know, they're teaching white kids to be ashamed to be white, they're teaching black kids to be victims, they're teaching everybody that America is a bad country, and you know, that communism is good, socialism is good, capitalism is bad.
It's he needs to withhold funding from these colleges until they clean up their classrooms, and he needs it designate Antifa, a domestic terrorist organization right away.
That's what I would tell him.
steve bannon
