steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on this people.
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'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.

War room.
Use your host.

Stephen K. Monday, 6th October, year of our Lord 2025.
The French government has fallen 14 hours after they.
Now, this is the parliamentary part of the government.
Uh has fallen uh because of debt and deficits.
They announced a new cabinet.
And uh 14 hours later, sorry, not sorry.
Why?
Because they're running a deficit that's about six and a half or seven percent of GDP.
That's a uh you can't do that.
You can't sustain it, particularly when you're not the prime reserve currency.
This is why you need to go now on Birch Gold and get the end of the dollar empire.
Birch Gold.com, promo code Bannon, end of the dollar empire, seven free installments started back four years ago when gold was, I don't know, eleven hundred dollars an ounce.
Gold's about to break 4,000.
It's not the price of gold.
FT's got a huge story about the fear of missing out, is what's causing institutional investors to run into it.
But we've laid the case and made the case about how you're having central banks now look at gold as a major part of their asset base because guess what?
They're like not excited about having Euros.
Why are they not excited about having Euros?
So let me think about this for a second.
Oh, yeah, do you see the French government just fell with the second government in 60 days?
It's going to implode.
Remember, these are guys talking big talk, coming over here, Macron, he's Napoleon, and he's talking big, and I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna send this.
He's got no money.
He can't even keep a government around.
They can't cut spending, they're locked up, and they're hurtling towards civil war because of what they've allowed to come into the country from North Africa and the Middle East.
They're to blame, the French elites.
The French elites.
And they're talking big.
He's gonna send troops to Ukraine and they're gonna do this, he's gonna the far news.
He's not gonna have anything.
He's got nothing.
Zero.
Nada, the null set.
Same with the Brits.
Car here talking big.
We're gonna do this, we're gonna do this.
They're broke.
They're dead broke.
They've allowed an invasion to happen in their country.
The streets are going wild.
Their civilizations and cultures are collapsing.
Their currency is collapsing.
The bond market's throwing up all over them.
Nobody wants to lend them any money.
They can't sell a 30.
You know why they can't sell a 30?
Because they don't know who's gonna be in charge in 30 years.
But the bond market's sitting there going, I don't think it's gonna be these guys.
Why do you think gold's on a tear?
Up 40%, maybe 50% this year.
Why is that?
We told you geopolitical turbulence and financial turbulence.
As much as President Trump's trying to do here, this is a global issue.
Did I ever mention that there was, I don't know, 340 trillion dollars of debt throughout the world, every level?
And we're heading to the world's biggest margin call.
You might want to be in physical gold.
Right?
Don't take it from me.
Talk to Philip Patrick team.
They're the experts.
I'm just some crazy mick yells into a microphone.
But go check it out today.
Birchgold.com.
And we told you this run was not gonna end yet.
Just not.
Because of the structure of international global finance.
Okay.
And Jack, when you talk about geopolitical turbulence, I don't know.
We can go from the battlefield in Ukraine, which is bloodier, folks.
You're awakened.
The rest of the country's not from 1939, September 1st of 1939, the invasion of Poland by the Germans to mid-June or June 21st of 1941, the invasion of Russia and Operation Barbarossa by the Wehrmacht, by the Germans, and those what two years?
Uh less than half of the casualties You've had now in Ukraine and Russia.
That is a killing field.
That is like WW1.
And it ain't stopping.
As much as President Trump tries to get in there and force a stop, the converging forces of the bloodlands is even stronger than President Trump is right now.
And the President Trump, I think, after he gets Middle East will pivot there.
But you got that, you got this debacle in the Middle East.
Now we got a amphibious ready group with 4,000 fleet marines and sailors off the coast of Venezuela, and they're leaking to the press.
They're going to be taken.
You heard Tage Gills, a Navy SEAL as a gunman, a gunfighter.
He's not that enthusiastic about taking the ports, taking the airfields, taking the railroad intersections, the nodes, uh, because then you got to hold them, right?
And that's the discussion.
I realize they're non-state actors.
They're telling on Capitol Hill to get around War Powers Act, which by the way, Senate Democrats are going to push to invoke the War Powers Act in this.
So we're going to have a situation, as we say.
You got the cartels all the way up to Mexico bringing fentanyl in with the Chinese Camus Party.
I think that's the non-state actor I would go through go through through first, Little Marco.
Because you got people making decisions down there, and hey, I don't know if it's tied to their political ambitions or to Cuba and this entire thing in the Caribbean.
But we got to get our mind right on this thing.
Because you've got Portland and Chicago, it's out of control.
And the biggest issue we've got on this right now is to put down this revolution here in this country and put it down, lay it down like a uh like an old dog.
It's got to happen.
Jack Basobuk, your thoughts.
jack posobiec
Steve, look, you know, we we've got the threats from abroad, but they're coming across our southern border.
Those threats from abroad are already here in terms of the fentanyl war that's being waged.
And we should call it the fentanyl war.
It is a it is the latest iteration of the opium war.
And of course, the Chinese Communist Party is fueling it with their supply of these chemical precursors of fentanyl to the cartels that are coming from.
Yes, there are some coming from Venezuela, but the bulk are coming from Mexico, and there needs to be a focus there.
Plus, you've got so many that are already in the United States.
Now you want to talk about the street crime.
You want to talk about the crime that Steven Miller and Pam Bondi are issuing at threats or issuing this these uh, you know, these warnings against the threats that are there in Memphis and places like Chicago where he might be sending the National Guard next.
Guess what's fueling all of that street violence?
The fentanyl that's coming up from Mexico.
See, these are all inextricably linked.
And then, of course, you have Portland.
Portland as a city is now in open insurrection against the federal government.
This needs to be underlined.
Write it down, Steve, as you would say with your number two Perncel.
Portland is now in open insurrection against the United States government.
The police are arresting journalists and patriots.
Uh Nick Sortor attacked again last night, I believe another patriot was also arrested.
They'll they will lie.
They'll they lied about Katie Davis court, my colleague over at the post-millennial.
They will lie about everything.
And then the federal judges that are appointed from the same area will come in and lie and say they will be ruled against the federal government can't come in.
This is this is an actual insurrection scenario whereby you have local officials that are completely defying the unmitigated right, the unlimited right of the federal government to enforce immigration laws.
There is the Constitution gives full power to the federal government to be able to do this.
There is no law anywhere in the land that can counterman this.
There is no ruling that can counterman this, and yet they have played these games over and over and over.
And unfortunately, and I was talking to Tim Poole about this, and I'll be doing his show again tonight.
Uh, this is a situation that could very well turn into a standoff very quickly.
steve bannon
What do you mean?
Look, I said for a long time, once you get down to, and of course the criminals got to go, but we need mass deportations.
Now we're gonna get um the team, a Kerkorian in the team over CIS that has another detailed study that shows I think 2.2 million have essentially uh illegal alien invaders have uh self-deported.
I'm thinking we'll get him on tomorrow, though we're gonna be doing a lot of October stuff, seven stuff tomorrow.
And of course, Carney, uh the Canadian uh is gonna be uh have a bilat for what reason I don't know, but he's coming.
Um we're gonna have carn uh Kakroyan says 2.2 million have already self-deported, but he makes the same case I do.
You got to get down to it now.
You have tens of millions of illegal aliens still here.
They gotta be mass deport mass deportations.
Jack, that's what this fight's about.
I know Chicago's uh crime ridden, but if you see what happened over the weekend in Chicago, and it's led now by the leaders of this anti uh anti-ICE.
We gotta put down the ICE agents shouldn't have to wear masks.
They have to wear masks because they're being doxxed, their families should be intimidated.
They're being attacked now, like in Chicago, what's the surrounded by 10 cars, led by these groups, these radical groups that the NGOs have sponsored here.
The whole thing's got to be a good idea.
You got a federal judge that that's yeah, the police stand by just like in in Portland.
So tell me what then is to be done.
We can't have a we're not hey, Trump.
He ain't gonna have any he's not gonna have any standoff.
Tell me what's gonna happen here, sir.
You have a Trump judge.
It was a Trump appointed judge, and like Trump's President Trump said, hey, I think I made a mistake.
Yeah, Trump appointed judge is the one that's got a uh because of Gavin Newsom's suit, because President Trump said, hey, I'm looking at there at California, I think I'm sending that National Guard because he's gonna drive a confrontation with Newsom, right?
He's tired of that punk.
He just thinks Newsom's a punk, and he's gonna drive a confrontation with him because Newsom is a neo-confederate.
I mean, uh Los Angeles is in also open defiance of the federal government about immigration laws, Jack.
I mean, this is gonna come down.
We control the country, they control these big metropolitan areas with these radical democrats who, by the way, can't afford to pay for anything.
They got to come back to you for money.
This is why it ought to all be cut off right now.
Just cut it off.
Like the guy singing at the uh at the Super Bowl.
He's gonna be big talk, and you gotta learn this, you gotta do this.
Hey, just stop the hundred million dollars that goes for Super Bowl security and get those grease ball owners, the worst guys, some of the worst guys in the world, the owners of NFL franchises, don't care about their cities, only care about themselves.
Just we gotta start playing smash mouth even more.
We gotta take it up a level, sir.
jack posobiec
Well, Steven, this is something where a lot of people need to need to start digging in and understand what it means here that in 1807, a statutory exemption was enacted in this country to the Posse Comitatus Act.
So we know Possi Comitatis, but there is an exemption.
There is one and only one exemption, and that is called the Insurrection Act of 1807, which has always been the higher law there.
That the president has Title 10 authority to deploy and federalize the National Guard of the States to suppress what?
To suppress an insurrection or rebellion against the authority of the United States government.
And if you think that's a problem, then why don't you go ask George Washington about the whiskey rebellion over there in Western Pennsylvania?
Because George Washington didn't have a problem with that whatsoever.
The authority of the federal government must be sacrosanct, or Steve, as you say, that is how we get into another Neo-Confederate or get into a new Confederate situation.
Neo-Confederates at Newsom and others.
It is very simple.
We have the states, but federal authority on federal matters does suppress or does supersede that.
And so it and so to suppress an insurrection or a rebellion against the authority of the U.S. government, the president has black letter law, Title X, authority to be able to deploy the National Guard, and no judge can change that.
steve bannon
Um that's brilliant.
Uh I want that written up, uh, Posa.
You got to do that over at post-millennial for human events daily.
It's because hey, people don't remember the whiskey rebellion, once again, about paying taxes, right?
About paying taxes on your whiskey, paying taxes.
There's so Henry in Western Pennsylvania, Jack, Central and Western Pennsylvania, little known part of history, because they don't want to talk about it.
Not only did Washington came back, I think, after his president came back, he was gonna head the army, and he made they made Hamilton a major general, put Hamilton in charge of the field force.
They were gonna go put it down hard.
Okay, hard.
And then upon further review, let's work out a deal, figure out how we pay how we pay our taxes.
jack posobiec
You had the president of the United States.
steve bannon
Riding into battle.
With Hamilton, the Sunny never had Jack Hamilton.
jack posobiec
Yeah, we're up at Jack Pesobic, of course, Twitter, Truth Social, where the president has been sharing our work.
Uh and again, just want to say a huge and getter.
What a huge thank you to Real America's voice, uh, to President Trump, the White House, the team there, and of course the United States Navy for putting on such an incredible display and for standing the watch for two and a half centuries, and we'll continue to do so until the end of time.
steve bannon
Jack, thank you so much, and thanks for doing that yesterday.
Appreciate it.
Everybody does.
jack posobiec
God bless.
steve bannon
Invited by the president to a company accompany him.
Quite an honor for Jack Pesovert.
Quite a day.
And we're gonna still have more of it throughout the day.
Uh, because it is important about what President Trump's doing now in his presidency.
I just talked to you about the whiskey rebellion.
They're coming always to get their money.
IRS uh about this two trillion dollar gap we got the deficits, the French government just fell.
We have the prime reserve currency, so we can keep printing money.
I think it may be one of the reasons gold's going up.
But if you got an issue with the the IRS, if you filed late, forgot to file, haven't filed, didn't want to file, you got a letter from the IRS, you can't look the other way.

We're putting up stuff all the time.
So make sure you go and get your first cut at um what we're thinking, particularly early early in the morning.
I don't I couldn't really do it too much this morning because we had so many moving pieces of what we're trying to do during the week.
There's also um for all the Marines.
Um and we didn't have Marines on yesterday for the simple reasons that's gonna be a huge commemoration of the Marine Corps 250.
I think that'll be announced later in the week.
Uh and of course, uh Real America's Voice in the War, and we'll be doing wall-to-wall coverage.
Um, and so um so richly deserved of the great history of our Marine Corps.
Just it's incredible.
Um really looking forward to that.
Um I've asked Gabe Kaminsky from the free press uh to join us.
Hey Gabe, thanks for doing this.
And it's one of the things that's very important because of the flood of news.
I don't think it gets enough uh coverage.
Uh, but I want to talk about uh the consolidation of economic power in this country.
One of the things I've argued and told people, the different one of the fundamental differences between President Trump's second term and his first term, not just in his actions, the way he's rolling, is that you can see during the Biden years, uh, and they had Lena Khan, they had some great people, but never empowered them, that the concentration of power, big pharma, big medicine, wall street, big tech, the arms industry.
The power is so concentrated now and and so powerful.
These these groups have hired all the best lawyers, they've hired all the top lobbyists, they've hauled hired all the media and crisis communications people.
If you want to kind of fight them, you you can't, it's very hard to do.
So walk me through your your piece because I think this is one of the things that we have to focus on, continue to focus on, and I think it's gonna be a massive issue, not simply in 26.
I think it's gonna be a massive issue in 2028.
Gabe, the floor is yours, sir.
gabe kaminsky
Oh, hey, Steve, thank you so much for having me.
Um, and uh yeah, the piece Steve is referencing here is actually one I quoted him in that went up in the free press um last week.
And you know, it sort of uh our story aims to provide readers kind of a window into how um antitrust is an issue that animates a lot in the MAGA base, animates um certainly the host of this show, Steve, and the notion of sort of going after corporations and going after corporate influence.
Um but this basically in the Trump administration, there's been actually a lot of infighting uh in the antitrust division, the Department of Justice, at the Federal Trade Commission, and even the White House over how exactly tough um the Trump administration should be on uh major corporations.
And you know, a part of that played out actually uh earlier this year in uh an antitrust case aiming to that the government had aiming to break up um uh or sorry rather block a deal between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Juniper Networks and then and the federal government,
uh the Trump administration, some officials there believed uh that they wanted to block this deal to allow for more competition uh uh in the in the free market.
Um however, HPE brought in certain MAGA operatives who sort of uh were aiming to convince the administration to settle this case to be move more favorable to this major corporation and this other company.
And uh actually they did end up settling with the company, and that pro that sort of prompted a whole lot of tension in the government about uh what the future of any trust policy looks like.
steve bannon
Yeah.
And it's not it's remember, President Trump started with um probably the the most uh aggressive antitrust to kind of break up this concentrated power at the FTC, at the FCC, particularly with Gail over at the Justice Department.
Uh and and really to kind of the one of the big focuses are going to be on big tech, because what big tech had done in the Biden years to kind of suppress uh the MAGA movement and obviously President Trump actually starting, I guess, before the 2020 election.
Uh and there's two schools of thought that want to go traditionally you've had what's called the Chicago School, which is economic, and that's really kind of driven Republican antitrust for years, which is to look at what's best for the consumer, right?
They do all kind of modeling what's best for the consumer.
The other is what I refer to as the neo-brandesian or brandysian, which is about the concern of large concentrations of private power through corporations or through these oligarchs uh in bed with the government regulatory uh agencies.
And so you've seen this tension right there.
Hewlett Packett and Juniper, in and of itself would not, you think get a lot of attention because it's fairly esoteric on the uh on the on the business side of uh software and networks and things like that, right?
Uh, but it's kind of symbolic in the fact of what's gonna happen because we do we have had Google trying to break them up.
We've had Facebook trying to break them up, and now you're looking at uh, you know, and we're very anti-Facebook and very anti-Zuckerberg.
Uh, and yet now you hear all kind of uh whether it's Amazon or Facebook or whatever, the pressure's coming to try to reach settlements with these folks, Gabe.
And I think that's one of the bigger concerns that you see.
There are fissures.
And look, their fissures, not because people are bad people, some people actually argue that the Hewlett-Packard Juniper thing didn't mean anything, and it was just you're stopping commerce and let's just get on with it.
But is uh and this morning they had an article, I can't find it right now, but I went nuts behind the scenes in Revolver, which is one of the best news sites out there.
Now, obviously, Darren Beattie is gone now.
Darren B is over the State Department, and Darren's working on a hundred things.
He's totally disassociated from revolver.
But they had a uh they had a piece up that was so dumb and so aggressive.
Oh, the populist uh you know shouldn't be worried about all this concentration of power because all we're doing is all we should be worried about is DEI and woke.
No, absolutely not.
And don't think you're gonna put that in front of the MAGA base and the bunch of morons just gonna, oh, yeah, let's just do DAI.
But if they concentrate, if they if they come in and they concentrate power, economic power, we don't have a problem with that.
No, we have a huge problem with that.
That is a centerpiece of populist nationalism.
You have to break up yet, you want to get back to entrepreneurial finance, you want to get back to empowering entrepreneurs.
The way you have to do it is break up the concentrated power.
Gabe, what is your what feedback?
Because this article uh had a little edge to it.
What feedback did you get when you put it out?
gabe kaminsky
Yeah, I mean, I think uh the the sort of I think what this story points to is that on antitrust and going after corporate influence, there is sort of this alignment between populist Republicans and uh more progressive leaning Democrats.
And so actually, after the story, I had people in various parts of that camp who were sort of thankful to have information about some of this infighting.
And uh I had Democrats reach out to me from the last administration who uh are favorable to Gail Slater, who's in the Department of Justice Justice and runs an antitrust division.
Um and so yeah, it's it's an issue, you know, where I think you, Steve, you probably would find uh a lot of sort of functionally a lot of agreement with um progressives on some of these ideas about going after sort of corporate influence.
steve bannon
I blame I but but hang on, I do.
But here's the thing I got with progressives, and this is Bernie Sanders and all their big talk about they go around the oligarch tour.
You had you had a democratic administration and you had Lena Khan.
You're not, I don't think you're gonna get better than Lena Khan.
I'm a huge fan.
They cut her legs out from they didn't back her.
So when I hear the progressives and I hear that, it's all happy talk.
And here's why it's happy talk.
The the Democratic Party at the end of the day, this gets to be the uh what was the thing about uh the the uh the the theory that uh Klein and those guys came up the abundance, the abundance theory.
The abundance theory is just the corporate the corporate wing of the Democratic Party trying to trying to get trying to make sure that AOC and Mandami, you know, don't go after them too hard.
It's the problem with the progressives is that you had Lena Khan, you had a progressive democratic administration, and nothing happened.
The concentration of power actually got worse with the oligarchs are a creation of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
Why do I say that?
Because all these oligarchs are progressives, they're just patting us on the head right now.
The moment Trump is gone, or the moment that uh we don't we don't uh get these seats in the house that we need, or we don't fight California, what's happening, and somehow they win the midterm election, and the first thing they do is impeach Trump.
You're gonna see all these oligarchs head for the exit.
And certainly in 2028, they're gonna head for the exit.
The moment they don't think Trump is in power, because they just came to us at after Trump won on the night of what is it, 5 November at about 10 or 11 o'clock after Pennsylvania fell.
That's when they got old time religion.
These people are all self-serving for themselves.
And so the progressives had a shot, and Lena Khan, you've had some you have some terrific superstars, but I think they're the first ones to tell you they got no backing.
And you hear Bernie Sanders and AOC, they don't know they all they do is this that it's just nothing but a bunch of empty talk.
If you're gonna break up concentrated power in this country and concentrated economic power in this country, must be confronted, whether it's big pharma, whether it's the arms industry, whether it's big tech oligarchs, it's not gonna be easy.
It's gonna be hard.
First of all, they're gonna try to crush you.
They got all the money, they got the communications firms, they own the media, they the corporate media, they got the law firms, they got the lobbyists, and the lobbyists are that's a killing zone.
They don't care, they don't care about you.
People are afraid to take them on.
That's why they're not taken on.
And that's why when the progressives, you know, say, oh, this is great.
They're a bunch of wimps.
I just to me, you had your shot and you didn't do anything.
Lena Khan, and I say this if you had backed Lena Khan, I think the race Trump would have still won, but the race would have been even tighter.
But they gutted her uh ability to do it.
Hey, Gabe, hang on for a second.
I just want to hold you through the break, okay?
I'll get off my soapbox and let you talk.
How about that?
Um gold, 3996.
Why is that happening?
It's not the price of gold.
We tell you this all the time, it's the process.
We're not here to say you fish here to teach you how to fish.
The Birch Gold guys for four years starting back what in 2021?
The end of the dollar empire.
We focus on the dollars, the prime reserve currency and how central it is to the world economic system.
And oh, yes, as it come as the pressure, a corollary is I think the price of gold and the value of gold may be looked at as more as a hedge.
FT's got an article to over the weekend about the fear of missing out.
Don't you miss out.
Get smart.
Go talk to Birch Gold.
Philip Patrick, in fact, Philip's gonna join me tonight.
BirchGold.com promo code Bannon.
The end of the dollar empire, seven free installments.
Get it, read it, understand it.
We'll change your life.
Short break.
unidentified
Short break.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Back.
steve bannon
Tonight in the five or six hour, the uh the meeting with Lula didn't happen.
I think the call did happen this morning.
Uh canada's here tomorrow.
I'll have more about the situation in Brazil uh tonight on the evening show, five to seven.
Um article revolver.
I can't find it now, but I'll I'll find it.
Um maybe it's up, but I just can't see it during the show.
Headline Anonymous administration officials attack FTC and DOJ leadership fighting DEI and censorship.
Well, gosh, we read that and say we don't like that.
We don't like DEI and censorship.
Then we're gonna this is the beginning of the body of it.
So confused or dishonest populists are attacking Trump anti-terrorist official for focus on censorship and DI rather than mundane economic issues.
When people, anytime I see mundane economic issues, that's like a flare.
Or that's like a putting a red flag in front of me.
Okay, anyway, I'll break this down later.
I think it's been poll, but maybe it hadn't.
Elizabeth's helping me out here trying to get it.
Uh, Gabe, this is a huge issue, because this gets down to the what type of country we want to have.
And in a populist nationalist uh direction, we want to make sure that not just power, but the economics of the American um economic engine is uh that people have access to it, what I call a piece of the action.
We've had now with the uh starting with um the 2008 financial collapse, the bailouts for that, the the solution for that was to concentrate economic power and then political power more than ever.
That was what led to the Trump, the Tea Party revolt first, and then more importantly, the Trump MAGA revolution.
Then you had the pandemic, which had the second greatest concentration of power in American history, and we kind of are where we are, but it's gotta be taken apart brick by brick, or we're not gonna have a country.
You can't let the oligarchs run it.
Whether those oligarchs are in the defense industry, whether the lords of easy money on Wall Street or in Silicon Valley.
Um, your thoughts, uh, and where should people go to get more of your writings?
Because this is gonna be a massive topic.

So, one thing I would point out on that revolver article is I believe correct.
It sounds like it's based off of my story because in my piece, I quoted um anonymous Trump administration officials, senior staffers in the working Trump who uh who are describing their dismay at the Federal Trade Commission and its chairman Andrew Ferguson for at least their belief that the FTC is focused more on partisan investigations related to some of those topics that article appears to be
citing rather than sort of substantive bread and butter antitrust, which at its heart actually isn't a particularly political issue so much as a issue like I think you were describing, a dispositional issue, an issue of how people view government and power and sort of the market, which is like a more populist approach, which is more championed by someone like Gail Slater at the Department of Justice.
Um, or according to some of my sources and the reporting, someone like Kevin Hassett at the White House and the National Economic Council, who was sort of viewed within the administration as more of a kind of Bush-style Republican and more pro-growth, more uh amenable to settling deals and otherwise.
steve bannon
I um I'm a huge Andrew Ferguson fan and uh and Davis over to FCC.
I think we've got the right team.
I just think we have to have a kind of, and I love Gail, right?
We've known Gail since the first administration where she was in the White House.
Um the I just think we need to have get back to the mindset that we're neo-brandissian in the in the number one order of business.
There are no mundane economic issues.
There's just not.
Uh we gotta get focused on these oligarchs and big tech, and I think the breakup of these industries.
I think there's way too much concentration of power in banking.
I think there's way too much concentration of power in media.
I think there's way too much concentration of power in big pharma, the arms industry.
You take anything.
This is what happened, and this is why I don't want to need to hear any happy talk from anybody associated with Joe Biden.
They had the opportunity in the first hundred days to if they wanted to put taxes in to actually go in and put a tax on uh on billionaires or increase the upper, but they did nothing.
They had total control.
They had the House, the Senate, and the and the White House.
And I think that for 60 days they kicked around the Bayonair's tax and then just faded away.
The reason is the control by the billionaires.
Democratic Party locked stock and barrel.
Now, you see now that their voters in the streets.
I'm not excited about that, but that's the reality.
That's what he had this abundance move.
This abundance was just the corporate wing of the Democratic Party saying, hey, let's let's tell them it's all gonna be fine.
We just take away regulation and do all this.
They're gonna live in Nirvana, right?
And of course, that thing was an epic fail.
Um, but this is where the fight's gonna be.
And I think President Trump put together an extraordinary team.
I mean, it was unbelievable.
And they, you know, the stuff he dropped in the first term that was perfected by Lena Khan and a lot of people around her in the Biden years and then was manifested by Andrew Ferguson and others, is just amazing.
I just think we have to have uh, and we've got to stop the circular firing squad.
The way to do that is focus back on, we're here to break up the concentration of economic power.
That concentration led to all the woken DEI stuff.
You just can't focus on that because that's just the surface of it.
Gabe, where do people, we're gonna have you on a lot.
Uh, this is a huge topic.
Uh, and of course, it's one close to my heart, and that's not because I worked in MA mergers and acquisitions in Goldman Sachs.
You can tell this is what started the Trump revolution.
The the financial crash of 2008, what brought it on, who was accountable, and the bailouts for all of them are what started the Tea Party movement, eventually led to the populist economic nationalist revolt of President Trump as sure as the turning of the earth.
And we have to take it through to its logical conclusion, is the great unfinished work we have ahead of us.
Gabe, where do people go?
Social media and over at your uh over at your site.
gabe kaminsky
Yeah, you can find me on X at G E Kaminsky, G E K A M I N S K Y, and uh read all my work and my colleagues at the free press at the FB.com.
And I appreciate you having me.
steve bannon
Gabe, thank you.
Thanks for coming on, man.
Appreciate you.
Yeah, the article.
Huge, uh huge task before us.
Um President Trump, yesterday was rejuvenated.
It was extraordinary to watch.
It was extraordinary to watch.
And that's why POSA was so important.
Remember, just because he was inside the bubble, the security bubble, we couldn't really get the footage of POSO and what was happening with Jack as he was seeing it firsthand.
But President Trump was rejuvenated yesterday.
The contact with the troops, with the sailors, their great love for him, right?
Their their affinity to an alpha male, their affinity to uh someone who's a natural leader, uh, who will step in and take risk, knows how to mitigate the risk.
He's not reckless, right?
But he knows how to mitigate risk, and he's a risk taker.
When you know how to mitigate it, or you can think through how to mitigate the risk, you're not reckless.
This is why President Trump, and look at what he's doing.
And this is just one aspect of it.
And look, we're gonna have disagreements.
There are many people in that story right there, some of some of the people I consider my closest colleagues in brothers in arms that are on the other side of this right now.
That's fine.
We'll figure it out.
It's not the end of the world, uh, but it has to be addressed.
Uh but President Trump got rejuvenated.
And here's what's so important about this.
He's trying to, in a world gone wild of what he had nothing to do with.
In fact, in his term, when he rose to power and came the first term, it was all kind of settled down and sorted out.
Why?
They didn't want to cross Trump.
They don't want to cross him.
So as soon as he's removed illegitimately, illegitimately by the deep state, and let's be blunt, the economic forces in this country, because big tech was a big part of it, the deep state, the intelligence services, all of it part to to remove Trump from office after they tried to thwart and shut down his his victory in in 2016.
What's he spend half of his time on now?
Or I would say three quarters of his time, reversing the invasion of our country that happened during their watch.
Remember all the lies they told every day?
Baldface lies.
Oh, we can't help it.
We can't stop it.
It's just it's just the natural, you know, change of the world and all these.
There was all lies, all of it.
President Trump sealed the border in 60 days.
Think about that.
And It's now reversed the process of too many.
And they're still fighting and they're gonna fight.
I don't mind them fighting if they believe in fight for it.
You're going to lose.
We have to ensure they lose.
We have to stop this now.
If you're comfortable dumping on this on your kids and grandkids when it metastasizes worse and gets worse, fine.
I'm not in that camp.
I want to do it now.
That's the great urgency of this moment.
What's the mantra here?
Maximalization.
Maximize everything.
Maximalist.
Go to the absolute maximum.
Do it with a sense of urgency and in the process, seize the institutions, purge them, restructure them, rejuvenate them.
As you can see, he's rejuvenating the military.
His work is uh, and this is why the Nobel Peace Prize, look, to me, it's who cares.
It is an acknowledgement, I guess, to the world's elite of what you're doing.
No one's done more for world peace since Reagan took down the evil empire.
And this may be more complicated because of so many more moving pieces, and it's so much more deadly today.
And what he's done in uh in the Middle East is heroic and monumental.
It also should be a lesson.
What I said at the beginning of this entire thing, back around time we started with.
If you don't play this right, you're gonna end up with a two-state solution.
You're gonna end up without any real involvement in Judeo Samaria.
And you're gonna end up with um, you know, the Persians still being the Persians.
That's where you're gonna end up in this deal.
Why people for their own political self-interest in Israel decide to go down a path, a path that was doomed to failure because you need an active involvement of the United States militarily and financially.
And that was just not gonna eventually that's gonna stop.
It's just gonna stop.
People are just not gonna tolerate it.
What I mean by tolerate, you're not gonna ever have a smaller country just dictate what you're gonna do in a certain region of the world.
It's not going to happen.
And Net Yahu was so in President Trump's face.
I said, over and over and over again, he's they're just a protectorate.
And you heard uh you heard Richard Haas and uh Ignatius, who are no friends of President Trump's, no friends of the MAGA movement, saying, hey, he's giving him orders now.
And they talked to people in the White House, said the guy overplayed his hand, lied to President Trump, went behind President Trump.
And so you see that being sort of, it's gonna be quite messy.
But at least you see the beginning of the architecture to actually get to a place that maybe at least now people can put down their guns and the Hamas and particularly the military parts of Hamas are as bad as you get.
Bad as you get in the cutter in the Muslim Brotherhood as bad as you get.
And in doing this, we we should designate, we've designated Antifa.
We should designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization because guess what?
It is a terrorist organization.
Of that, there's no doubt, and we should do that.
At the same time, President Trump, and he's upfront about that.
Putin and in the Bloodlands, they fight about vendettas and ancient, it's even worse in the Middle East, if you can believe that.
Because, you know, Genghis Khan and the Huns and all of it for thousands of years have come across there.
Ancient vendettas in the bloodlands.
And President Trump try as he might, we're not there yet.
In fact, we're pretty long way away from bringing that to a conclusion.
And that is getting deadlier and deadlier and deadlier.
And you could be in a situation there in Ukraine, like uh the summer of 1914.
Remember, if you read the history of 1914, there was the most beautiful, glorious summer I think England had seen in years.
Just the weather, just a glorious summer.
And yet the ticking time bomb that was going on behind the scenes that led to the guns of August and changed the 20th century.
That war from August of 1914 didn't end, didn't end until 1989.
Really the end of uh the Berlin Wall coming down in the beginning of the end of the Soviet Union.
The bloodiest, the short 20th century, the bloodiest century in mankind's history.
President Trump is working on making sure we don't repeat that in the 21st century.
And for that, there's no doubt that he deserves to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace at the end of this week.
Short commercial break.
Back in a moment.
