| This is an agreement that asks Ukraine to put its security agreement. | ||
| Wait, what agree? | ||
| Are you talking about the agreement that you read last week, the Russian agreement? | ||
| Are you talking about where they are right now? | ||
| The original agreement I was talking about. | ||
| But, okay, let's talk about the original agreement, then we'll talk about where we're at. | ||
| But we're already past the original agreement. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, we're not. | |
| We're not in a couple important ways. | ||
| One is the fact that you had the original agreement, and then you have the president posting what he did yesterday about Ukraine being ungrateful and the rest. | ||
| What that says, Joe, is there's no such thing as a rock-solid American security guarantee. | ||
| This is an administration that tariffs its friends, you've seen aid cutoffs. | ||
| So it's actually an oxymoron to speak about a rock-solid security guarantee from this administration. | ||
| Well, does that mean you're going to have to take it up in the Senate? | ||
| There's going to have to be a treaty or something that the Senate's going to have to agree to. | ||
| So it's not just the president's word. | ||
| One. | ||
| Two, you're going to have to change some very big details. | ||
| For example, the original agreement precludes any NATO stationing of forces in Ukraine's territory. | ||
| The European counterdraft doesn't preclude presence or exercising. | ||
| You're going to have to give Ukraine. | ||
| There's nothing in any of these agreements. | ||
| Let me finish this sentence. | ||
| There's nothing in any of the agreements about arms supply of Ukraine. | ||
| So, you know, you mentioned the Tomahawk thing. | ||
| What about the flow of arms? | ||
| I think that's all a real question for Ukraine about whether they can put their faith in this. | ||
| Last but not least, the fact that we're going to end up negotiating an agreement ultimately with Ukraine and Europe that they're going to be more comfortable with. | ||
| I thought the European response was quite ingenious. | ||
| Yeah, it was great. | ||
| No, we're going to end up with Russia's going to reject it. | ||
| We're going to end up with... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| Yes, constitutionally, the commander-in-chief is given. | ||
| There's no butts to it. | ||
| The commander-in-chief is given white. | ||
| I'm just saying politically, it's better to talk about the concern about using the military against your own people. | ||
| Because that's what they're calling and fellow. | ||
| Constitutionally, the president of the United States would not lose a challenge on strikes in Venezuela. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Not with this Supreme Court, not with any Supreme Court. | ||
| No Supreme Court is going to put themselves in the situation room and make a decision for the Commander-in-Chief, Democratic or Republican. | ||
| All right, so let's just pretend this is 2008 or 2038. | ||
| They're just not going to. | ||
| However, if a President of the United States says, I'm going to send the Marines to New Orleans to take care of crime. | ||
| I'm going to send the Army into Nashville because of crime. | ||
| A Supreme Court in 2008 or in 2026 is going to say that's illegal. | ||
| In fact, we had a federal judge in California already say in 2025 that's illegal. | ||
| And any Supreme Court that doesn't say that's illegal is corrupt to the core. | ||
| And even the conservative movie, I think even Sam Alito will not go that far. | ||
| If he does, well, that's his legacy and not my word. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's talk right now. | |
| Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders? | ||
| To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related to Venezuela. | ||
| I'm a concern based on the law, based on the Constitution. | ||
| And isn't that the rub here at the end of the day? | ||
| It is. | ||
| Joe, there's one factor we haven't talked about, which is that when Pete Hexteth came in as Secretary of Defense, one of the first things he did was to wipe out the top layer of lawyers in the military, the judge advocates general, they're called, who were supposed to advise our commanders about what a legal order is. | ||
| And suddenly there weren't any more lawyers anymore to give legal advice. | ||
| And you know, military people, they don't like to try to be lawyers. | ||
| That's not their job. | ||
| And the reason that what the members of Congress, Alyssa Slotkin, Jason Crowe, et cetera, the reason that was so important was that knowing that these commanders were cut off without legal advice, they were speaking directly to the commanders and saying, don't follow illegal orders. | ||
| You know, consult somebody who can give you legal advice. | ||
| And I think that they really did a service to commanders who just have been feeling dizzy in these months after the very deliberate effort to cut the legal advisory authority away. | ||
| So commanders were just basically helpless. | ||
| And the message has to be, you cannot. | ||
| You cannot follow illegal orders or else you will put yourself in the middle of the middle. | ||
| You cannot. | ||
| You have sworn an oath. | ||
| This is not optional. | ||
| You sworn an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, which means our legal system. | ||
| You sworn that oath. | ||
| You don't have a choice. | ||
| Your point is exactly right. | ||
| But you need somebody to tell you what the law means because you're a general. | ||
| You're not a lawyer. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Troops, listen up. | |
| Any service member who refuses a lawful order is subject to court-martial for violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice. | ||
| We study what's lawful and what's not lawful, and the Democrats' stunt insinuating that they're illegal or unconstitutional orders. | ||
| It's downright dangerous. | ||
| It is corrosive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is meant to weaken our country and weaken the military. | |
| How do you respond to these allegations from your colleagues, fellow veterans, that what you have put out there is weakening and corrosive to the military? | ||
| Well, these unfortunately are some of Trump's core supporters that are rallying behind the president, and they know better. | ||
| They know exactly the difference between lawful versus unlawful. | ||
| We were very clear in the video that what we're talking about is unlawful orders. | ||
| You have the president's spokesperson going on into a press conference this past week and saying that we called for people to disobey lawful orders. | ||
| They're simply lying because the truth is unacceptable to them. | ||
| It's unacceptable. | ||
| We wanted to start a conversation, and we did, about the dangerous rhetoric this president is using and the threats that he's made to use our military in an unlawful way. | ||
| Exactly what? | ||
| Well, send troops into Chicago, send troops into polling stations, kill terrorists' families, arrest and execute members of Congress. | ||
| Your mouth to God, Ziera, that that is the one thing that's missing here is open-ended American support for Ukraine. | ||
| I do want to say this, though. | ||
| And again, for people at home, just because this is the Trump administration doing this, we've been given a couple of false choices. | ||
| One, people are saying if they give an inch, then they are betraying the Ukrainians and da-da-da-da-da. | ||
| Well, you know, again, even the Biden administration knew that Ukraine was going to have to give up land for security guarantees. | ||
| That's number one. | ||
| Number two, this idea of NATO, Dr. Brzezinski, even Dr. Brzezinski said all along, again, and Ed Luce proves it, one of the preeminent hawks, and the Soviets still think he was in large part responsible for their downfall, always said you can't put a dagger in Russia's heart. | ||
| And he understood that Ukraine could never have NATO membership, but there could be this quasi-agreement. | ||
| So again, the person I talked to said Article 5 agreement, EU membership, American contractors working in Ukraine, one tripwire after another tripwire to guarantee that if the Russians went in, it would in fact be a war against the West. | ||
| 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 not get 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| It's Monday, 24, November, in the year of our Lord, 2025. | ||
| Okay, we are packed for the next couple of hours between designating the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, moves about terrorist organizations in Venezuela. | ||
| It looks like maybe prepping not just for covert action, maybe a military strike. | ||
| I think kind of a debacle on this Ukraine situation. | ||
| You just heard Joe Scarber right there. | ||
| No offense, Joe, lying about everything about the Biden. | ||
| Oh, yeah, they knew they're going to have to give up territory. | ||
| Yeah, they knew they weren't going to have NAGO membership. | ||
| Everything they lied about and fought for. | ||
| And now they're looking for an American guarantee of their sovereignty and a security guarantee. | ||
| You just heard Joe Scarber lay out what the trip R is going to be. | ||
| Contractors mean American troops. | ||
| Anyway, we'll get into all that. | ||
| Jim Rickers is going to join us. | ||
| Get Ben Harnwell, John Solomon, Brendan Steinhauser from the AI Alliance going to be here on artificial intelligence. | ||
| We've got a massive report from Jessica Vaughan and Center for Immigration Studies on H-1B visas. | ||
| Just strap in. | ||
| It's going to be intense this morning. | ||
| But I want to bring in and talk about one of the most disturbing things. | ||
| In a weekend with nothing but news and much of it disturbing, the most disturbing of it all happened in Brazil with our great ally, President Bolsonaro, arrested again, facing a 27-year prison sentence he's preparing to go to, arrested again by this out-of-control judge. | ||
| Eduardo Bolsonaro joins us. | ||
| Eduardo, can you please tell us what's happening to your father right now? | ||
| We're going to get into what we have to do as the United States and particularly the MAGA movement. | ||
| Your father's revered as the Trump of the Tropics. | ||
| What exactly is going on, sir? | ||
| So he was convicted for 27 years in jail because a fake coup d'état that we call the Disney World Coupe d'etat because in that moment, January 8th of 2023 is the day that they say that it was supposed to happen, the coup d'état. | ||
| It was the same thing that we had here in January 6th in the United States. | ||
| At that time, my father, he was in Orlando. | ||
| That's why we say it's the Disney World Coupe d'état. | ||
| But despite the reality, they convicted him to 27 years in jail. | ||
| But what happened at this not the beginning of the execution of the sentence. | ||
| Alexander Jimoraz, the crazy justice, he sent my father in preventive arrest now to jail because he said that he was thinking in runaway. | ||
| But the thing is, Jarry Bolsonaro is now in house arrest with 24 hours per day cops around his house and even with the right to get into his backyard or in places around the house, you know, the pool area and some other areas of the house. | ||
| And you have cameras looking to whatever he's doing. | ||
| Now just came up one of the news in Brazil, a big one, showing drone image from a media in Brazil from Global showing his house inside of his house. | ||
| So there is no privacy. | ||
| Then I ask you, how can a 71 years old man with the health in really bad conditions? | ||
| He just had skin cancer. | ||
| How can he run away in such place like that? | ||
| So what Alexander Jimoris wants, he wants to kill Jerry Bolsonaro in jail. | ||
| This is his goal. | ||
| Why, Steve? | ||
| Because they are bringing a lot of pressure to my father to support other candidates to run for president. | ||
| Any candidate from the center supported by our Supreme Court. | ||
| As my father bravely is saying, no, I will not support anyone. | ||
| I do believe that I can get out from jail, approving the amnesty bill in the Congress. | ||
| I will not support anyone. | ||
| So he's standing firm and bravely with this position. | ||
| So Alexander Jimoraes is sending him to jail to make sure that he's going to serve as many years as possible, trying to kill him inside of the jail. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| And only to finish with this first question. | ||
| Alexander Jimora killed other men in jail. | ||
| His name is Klazão. | ||
| Claison, he was in the pre-similarity situation of my father, you know, with a health that was not that good. | ||
| His lawyers asked for house arrest. | ||
| Even the attorney general at that time asked to send this patriot that was arrested on January 8th to his house. | ||
| Anyway, Alexander Jimora just ignored everything. | ||
| And then after a couple of months, this man, Klazan, he was dead. | ||
| So Moraes tested this formula. | ||
| He wants to repeat this case with Jerry Bolsonaro. | ||
| No, he didn't want to get him in prison as soon as possible. | ||
| Make sure he can't run. | ||
| Again, I think he's in 26 and have him assassinated in prison. | ||
| Edward, can you just hang on one second? | ||
| I got a couple other questions. | ||
| Okay, we're going to be going foreign and domestic all morning here in the war room. | ||
| Particularly, President Trump's trying to bring an end to the kinetic part of the Third World War. | ||
| We just have to make sure in bringing that, we're not getting the United States locked into long-term guarantees or guaranteeing the sovereignty of the Ukraine with the feckless, hapless Europeans who are not stepping up at all. | ||
| Anyway, we're getting to all of that. | ||
| Eduardo Bolsonaro's, I guess, were packed this morning on the Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
| Looks like we're going to designate them, if not today, tomorrow. | ||
| President Trump, big scoop of John Solomon's over the weekend. | ||
| President Trump's trying to is going to sign an executive order to designate them a terrorist organization. | ||
| That will change things dramatically. | ||
| Also, Tina Peters is out of solitary confinement. | ||
| Some questions if she's already getting into the federal witness protection program. | ||
| We'll have update on all of that. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Back in the war room in just a moment. | ||

| Eduardo Bolsonaro, just for the audience, let's do a quick reset. | ||
| When the election in Brazil was stolen as badly as the election for President Trump was stolen in 2020, with Bolsonaro, he was in Orlando, Florida at the time, the people down there just had enough of it, of having a Marxist with very little support and a partner of the Chinese Communist Party, Lula, who's been a total disaster, to essentially steal the office with the Supreme Court judge, Justice, and that cabal. | ||
| So they rightfully did what free people are going to do. | ||
| They protested about it. | ||
| What they've turned that into is what they turned it into President Trump. | ||
| Now, thank God you had Boris Epstein and Todd Blanche and Embo Bovey and a great team in the Warren Posse and other supporters of President Trump. | ||
| When the Republican Party abandoned him and Fox News and the Murdoch abandoned him in those dark years of 21, 22, and 23, people stood up. | ||
| Now, thank God President Trump came back and won the presidency in the greatest political comeback in history. | ||
| It's the reason he's not in prison for over 100 years to be assassinated in that prison. | ||
| This is exactly what's happened. | ||
| The same playbook they're running on Bolsonaro. | ||
| They sentenced one of the best men and greatest leaders in the world, best men in the world and greatest leaders in the world to 27 years in prison, folks, for being in Orlando, Florida when you had this civil protest in Brazil about a stolen election. | ||
| And he's 70 years old. | ||
| So he's going to die in prison of natural causes, but they want to make sure that there's no way he can get amnesty and get out and run in 26 because he would defeat Lula. | ||
| They understand that. | ||
| That is why they have gone out of their way now to trump up these other charges and get him into prison sooner to be assassinated. | ||
| Is that essentially the case that is before us right now, Eduardo? | ||
| Sure, yes, Ben. | ||
| And even the Supreme Court is so comfortable that they do not hide anymore that they say we are not going to commit the same mistake that the Americans did, which means they will not allow Jerry Bolsonaro to run in the next year election. | ||
| We will have election for president in Congress in October of next year. | ||
| So what they did is they spit it up as much as possible to convict Jerry Bolsonaro. | ||
| So there is no connection in their reality. | ||
| There is nothing connecting my father with January 8th things that happened. | ||
| And even it's not a coup d'etat. | ||
| Like the narrative of the establishment, they're trying to make us believe that a protest when Bolsonaro was no longer the president and before leave the presidency chair, Bolsonaro appointed the commander of the Navy, the army, and the air force of Brazil, the one appointed by Lula. | ||
| So with all of that, he sent a little bit more than 1,000 people to the field in a Sunday of January, reminding that January in Brazil is vacation to do a coupe d'état when no one was there. | ||
| It's weird. | ||
| And when we try to get to have access to the cameras of the local where this protest happened, the Lula government, they just refused. | ||
| His justice minister, he basically, I don't know what he did, probably deleted all the image. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because with the cameras, we could prove that there was a bench of people infiltrated there. | ||
| I'm sure that if you were American, you are probably having a deja vu about your January 6th thing. | ||
| But this is the excuse that Moraes in the Supreme Court is using to get Bolsonaro out of the way in the politics. | ||
| And for sure, they're also waiting an opportunity to come after Trump and Trump administration. | ||
| Maybe now, as Trump is the sitting president, you can think, oh, this Brazilian guy is crazy. | ||
| But I'll tell you, Elon Musk is under investigation in Brazil. | ||
| Moraes, but Elon Musk in investigation in Brazil. | ||
| Moraes detained Jason Miller after the CPAC Brazil in 2021, an American citizen. | ||
| Moraes issued an arrest warranty against an American citizenship, American citizen, because she was tweeting things that Moraes didn't like here in U.S. soil. | ||
| So he has no limits. | ||
| Now, imagine what these men could do together with a radical left government in the United States, with a radical left administration. | ||
| So they are only waiting for the possibility to do that. | ||
| I usually say, finishing with this question, Steve, is that it's the same virus that you have in the United States, in Brazil, and some other places in the world. | ||
| The difference is that in Brazil, we have less anti-bodies. | ||
| That's why Trump, for maybe because days or weeks, didn't go to jail. | ||
| And thanks God, now he's the president of the United States and changing a lot of things, even supporting us there in Brazil, supporting the freedom cause. | ||
| But if Trump does not make a successor, if you start to lose in the midterms next year, things will get really, really bad. | ||
| And I'll tell you, you Americans, you have nowhere to run away. | ||
| And it will be very painful, you know, a lot of sacrifice if this scenario arrives. | ||
| Eduardo's warning to us is very succinct. | ||
| These are radicals. | ||
| You see this in New York City. | ||
| You see what the Muslim Brotherhood down in Texas. | ||
| You see what's going on. | ||
| They win the midterms, everything changes. | ||
| And so this is why, and they're working together. | ||
| What is your call to action right now for the American people, Eduardo, in regards to your father? | ||
| The first thing is, Alexandria Moraes is not acting alone. | ||
| So I think it would be very good if the Trump administration starts to evaluate to also bring Global Magninski Act sanction other people around Moraes. | ||
| For example, the Attorney General, Paulo Guanea. | ||
| I think it would be a very good start. | ||
| And also to enforce the Mageninski Act against Alexandria de Moraes, because what the Brazilian press is saying is that the life of Moraes didn't change that much. | ||
| So it would be a good idea to enforce the Brazilian banks, the financial system, to make sure that they are accomplishing with the law, with the American law, because otherwise they could be shut down from the U.S. system. | ||
| I mean, if you do not follow the American law, you cannot access the American market. | ||
| I think these two things would be the best things to do right now. | ||
| And for everybody, it speaks about the Bolsonaro case. | ||
| It also speaks about the future of Trump, the future of the Trump secretary, like Rubio, Besant, and some others, but also your future. | ||
| Because I'll tell you, in Brazil, they are not coming only after us. | ||
| They're also coming after our supporters, like common people. | ||
| Because what these people want, as the history shows us, they want to show themselves very, very bad persons. | ||
| So they would intimidate everybody to not even post one thing against them. | ||
| That's how they control a big country like in Brazil. | ||
| So this is a warning for you. | ||
| And speaking as much as possible about the Bolsonaro case, I think we create the conscience and let the Trump administration and some other countries more comfortable to sanction Moraes and have some other attitudes. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Eduardo, I'll contact you after the show. | ||
| A lot of people are working on this over the weekend, as you can imagine, are 100% correct. | ||
| I warned when I went to Mark Meadows' CPI, the great CPI kind of umbrella organization for the MAGA movement and gave that speech a couple weeks ago that got like 10 million views because I warned people in the audience. | ||
| I said, if the Democrats win, myself included, many people in this audience are going to go to prison. | ||
| Not that you've done anything wrong. | ||
| You've just fought for the freedom and liberty in your country, but it's the same thing in Bolsonaro. | ||
| Bolsonaro is a patriot, 27 years in prison, folks. | ||
| Remember this, at the age of 70 years old, 27 years in prison for being in Orlando, Florida, when they had a protest down in Brazil. | ||
| And now they're actually come up with other charges to get him in prison right away because they're too afraid that they're going to get amnesty by the Congress and he can run in 26 because Lula knows he can't win. | ||
| You can see the polling. | ||
| Eduardo, what's your social media? | ||
| We're going to be all over this one, obviously. | ||
| Where do people go to find out more about you and the righteous cause of the Bolsonaros in Brazil, sir? | ||
| Thank you for the opportunity, Steve. | ||
| My social media in general is Bolsonaro, like my last name, SP. | ||
| On next, I'm posting a lot in English, but also as well as in Getter and Truth Susho. | ||
| So Bolsonaro SP is where you're going to meet me. | ||
| Only to finish, Steve, and join the opportunity. | ||
| In the decision of Moraes that just arrested my father, one point that he wrote is that the house of Jerry Bolsonaro is too close of the American embassy. | ||
| It's about nine miles from the U.S. embassy in Brazil. | ||
| So this is one of the things that he put on the paper that he wrote to justify the arrestment of Jerry Bolsonaro. | ||
| So it shows perfectly that he does not has an excuse to arrest my father, but he's doing that anyway. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| Appreciate you. | ||
| And we'll talk to you this afternoon after the show. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Folks, this is why when Scott Besson and the team talk about the filibuster, and I realize the custom and tradition of the filibuster protect minority rights, but the Democrats are going to flip it day one. | ||
| President Trump's 100% correct on that if they take the Senate. | ||
| What they're going to do is expand the Supreme Court. | ||
| They're going to flood the zone on the Supreme Court to get judges like Marius in there. | ||
| What you've seen in Brazil is the use of the radical judiciary, the radical judiciary, with radical Marxist politicians. | ||
| There's not that much difference. | ||
| In fact, very little difference. | ||
| Lula, let's say, is not a committed jihadist, but he's focused on taking down the Judeo-Christian West. | ||
| There's not that much difference between Mamdani in New York City and Lula. | ||
| These are dedicated Marxists. | ||
| Marius is a Marxist-Leninist justice. | ||
| This is why they don't want us to change the filibuster. | ||
| As soon as they win, they're going to expand the Supreme Court. | ||
| All of this is coming to the United States. | ||
| Bolsonaro is just the Bolsonaro, the righteous cause of the Bolsonaros in Brazil is nothing but the canary in the mine shaft. | ||
| Nothing but the canary in the mine shaft. | ||
| They tried it on Trump and we beat it back. | ||
| But we haven't permanently destroyed it. | ||
| It's not permanently destroyed. | ||
| That is the task at hand before us today, to give it a Carthaginian peace, take it apart brick by brick and salt the earth around it. | ||

Short break. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| So Dave Bradd, I want to talk about the seditious six and the action President Trump should take to that. | ||
| I great we're doing the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. | ||
| I think they're doing more even closer to Madora as a terrorist organization, may be able to get better underpinnings for a strike. | ||
| But Jake Sherman over at Punch Bowl, who's pretty dialed in, I want to give a quote. | ||
| This just broke. | ||
| A few other GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they too are considering retiring in the middle of the term. | ||
| Here's one particular Eric says, senior House Republican, this entire White House team has treated all members like garbage. | ||
| And Mike Johnson's let it happen because he wanted it to happen. | ||
| That is the sentiment of nearly all appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. | ||
| The arrogance of the White House team is putting, is off-putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. | ||
| You can read it. | ||
| Grace, if you're kind enough, it put it out to the Warren Posse in the chats. | ||
| We would like to get feedback. | ||
| So, Dave, we have this. | ||
| First off, when Bill Maher is on his show on Friday night saying the Democrats are out of line here, particularly when we have troops in the field, and you've got Slotnick saying he hasn't given an illegal order, but then you get into it behind the scenes. | ||
| There's a lot of turmoil, particularly, I think, some non-MAGA members of the House, which are most of them because they're not MAGA, are all thinking of bailing. | ||
| And this shows you how the redistributing effort among the establishment in places like Indiana is just not getting. | ||
| And look, Alex deGrosse was much more optimistic than I am in places like Kansas and Nebraska and other places. | ||
| I'm just not seeing the effort from any of the Republican establishment folks to kind of get on with it here, sir. | ||
| No, that's absolutely right. | ||
| It's a little ironic. | ||
| Speaker Mike Johnson is Trump's speaker, and I'm sure all the old appropriations bulls are very upset at being not number one anymore in terms of Paul Ryan underlings with massive power that come from the old Republican donor base. | ||
| So that's a huge shift. | ||
| Jim Jordan, it turns out today in the news, lead piece in the Washington Post being spied on in addition to the White House, President Trump, the Senate figures. | ||
| All of these representatives need to step up to the plate. | ||
| Back when I was in the House Freedom Caucus, 40 of us had the guts to go up against our own leadership on principles. | ||
| So the old bulls, if they believe in some principles, they shouldn't let a left center journalist outflank them on the messaging. | ||
| This is the whole problem. | ||
| And when you just went around the horn, the main problem we have in this country is we're not making anything permanent. | ||
| All of Trump's initiatives, right? | ||
| And boy, I just wanted to point, you had a brilliant guest on a Saturday morning, and he referenced a forward-looking Russian relations. | ||
| I think his name was Bratt or something. | ||
| But he mentioned, and now it's come to pass that Dmitriev from the Russian Wealth Fund is in the room talking about, hey, look, we've got to get a permanent peace going for Europe. | ||
| I actually believe that is true. | ||
| I think, and the give is the Democrats and the Biden administration on NATO, right? | ||
| All of a sudden, they're conceding their major argument that this was not about NATO at all. | ||
| It's all about NATO. | ||
| And so the Speaker, the House, the Senate, you all need to get together and legislate. | ||
| And then on the immigration issues, I just went out to Grok, and I know you're going to hit the Center for Immigration Studies again, but our total visas, right? | ||
| They're 800,000 H-1B applications, but 11.5 million visas still. | ||
| So when you got Bolsonaro on, that's something the House could work on that I think is an 80% contract with America item. | ||
| Anyway, I knew you were going to jerk my chain by going to Grok early in the morning, going to AI. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| I got Elon for you, too. | ||
| Hang on for a second. | ||
| Yeah, but Elon was actually, Elon actually was good about this because he's talking about the financing of AI and the bubble of AI. | ||
| So we're going to get to all this. | ||
| Jim Rickards. | ||
| First off, Jim, you've been around a long time. | ||
| This thing about the seditious six, would you agree with me that action needs to be taken immediately by the Justice Department on what the seditious six said, particularly since you have 14,000 Marines and sailors off of the coast of Venezuela? | ||
| And it looks like, you know, they're doing covert action, but there's a possibility of a kinetic strike, sir. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I watched the comments they made. | ||
| I don't know how else to interpret it. | ||
| They're basically messaging the military to disobey orders from President Trump. | ||
| Now, they sugarcoated it in illegal versus legal orders as if they had any idea what that meant, which they don't. | ||
| And when you're in combat situations or forward deployed or frontline situations, yeah, they're lawyers. | ||
| Governor Santos was a Navy lawyer and a good one. | ||
| But the fact that HECSAT cleaned out a couple layers of lawyers, well, good for him because they were all kind of deep state operatives. | ||
| So that was a start. | ||
| So yeah, it's not like you can't get legal opinions or the Judge Abigail General has disappeared. | ||
| You can, but you can't let it stand in the way of what you actually need to do. | ||
| So that's what they're encouraging. | ||
| It's sedition or close enough that it deserves some kind of accountability. | ||
| So yeah, get going. | ||
| Geopolitically now, let's go from hemispheric defense. | ||
| You got Bolsonaro now in prison early where they're going to try to assassinate him in Brazil. | ||
| You got Maduro, who I believe now with this new effort on another terrorist designation, looks like they're teeing up for a connect strike. | ||
| And then in Europe and Ukraine, we've got this situation where they're looking for American guarantees, the guarantee the sovereignty long term of Ukraine and security guarantees on top of that. | ||
| Your thoughts as you go around the horn? | ||
| Yeah, just talk about Ukraine, but I'll come back to Venezuela and Brazil because you can't connect the dust. | ||
| What's going on with the Ukraine peace plan right now is an exact replay of what happened after Anchorage, the Anchorage Summit and its failure. | ||
| Wyckoff went to Russia and he presented them with a plan. | ||
| And it wasn't like a done deal by any means, but the Russians looked at it and said, yeah, we can live with this. | ||
| And actually met with Putin. | ||
| Putin said, okay, there's more to be done here, but we can live with this. | ||
| And then that was the point of the Anchorage Summit is they were going to announce something along those lines. | ||
| But instead, the warmongers, Rubio and others got in the room. | ||
| And Trump said, well, I got to run it by the Europeans and I got to run it by the Ukrainians. | ||
| And the Russians were like, wait a second. | ||
| We thought we had the makings of a deal here. | ||
| And then Trump said, well, give me time. | ||
| So within the following week, he meets with the European leadership, Macron and Mertz and the rest of them and the Ukrainians. | ||
| And they dumped all over it and said, we'll never do this, et cetera. | ||
| And then the whole thing fell apart. | ||
| It just went away. | ||
| Nothing came out of Anchorage, even though we were very close to a deal. | ||
| This is an exact replay. | ||
| Again, Wyckoff's doing his job. | ||
| He met with the Russians. | ||
| We authored the plan. | ||
| Now, the criticism of the plan, I haven't seen an exact printout of it. | ||
| I mean, it's leaked. | ||
| You can sort of get the sense of it. | ||
| The criticism of the plan is that it gives Putin almost everything he wants. | ||
| Well, I have news for you. | ||
| That's how we're going to end the war. | ||
| That's the only way you're going to end the war. | ||
| Russians won, you know, with a lot of casualties and a lot of treasure and a lot of difficulty. | ||
| They've won the war. | ||
| So why should Russia, you know, why should the Russians concede anything? | ||
| They shouldn't. | ||
| So, sorry. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So the Russians shouldn't concede. | ||
| Hold on. | ||
| Hang Reiterate that because that's never talked about on media. | ||
| The Russians won the war. | ||
| They have over, they have, I think, a million and a half casualties. | ||
| I think a million and a half dead. | ||
| Who knows how many wounded? | ||
| The Ukrainians have a million and a half casualties right now, and they can't recruit any new people to it. | ||
| Nobody wants to put any more money. | ||
| All that meeting, President Trump had in the Oval, he called the bloff essentially on Starmer and Macron and all the big talk. | ||
| They're still talking big this weekend, but they have no money, no arms, no men. | ||
| So this all falls back to the United States. | ||
| Just reiterate it. | ||
| The Russians won this war. | ||
| Everybody in Morning Joe led these people down, like Mursharma said, they led the Ukrainians down the primrose path to their destruction, and then they abandoned them. | ||
| And now they want the United States to work with Russia and try to figure it out. | ||
| But the Russians won the war, correct? | ||
| That's correct. | ||
| The Russian position has never changed. | ||
| Since 2021, before the special military operation, Putin said, no NATO, denazification, demilitarization, Ukrainian neutrality. | ||
| And by the way, Russia gets the Donbass and Kershaw and Zapozvria, Luhansk, and Donetsk. | ||
| They already had Crimea. | ||
| Those are still his terms. | ||
| He reiterated that in a major foreign policy address in the summer of 2024. | ||
| And he said it again more recently. | ||
| They have never changed. | ||
| So if you're the United States, you've got two choices, keep fighting or keep supporting the war or agree to Putin's plan. | ||
| Now, the criticism that, oh, you know, you're agreeing to Putin's plan. | ||
| Well, that's the only outcome here short of World War III. | ||
| By the way, Ukraine, it's a proxy war. | ||
| This was always about Russia. | ||
| The idea was start the war in Ukraine, which goes back to 2008 with Bush's saying Ukraine should join NATO. | ||
| Start the war in Ukraine as a way to weaken Russia, impose sanctions on Russia. | ||
| The ruble would collapse. | ||
| The economy would collapse. | ||
| There'd be an uprising, and Putin would be overthrown. | ||
| That's the whole point of this thing. | ||
| That was a fantasy. | ||
| None of it has happened, but none of it was ever going to happen. | ||
| So here we are with the reality. | ||
| Russia has 10 times the population, and their kill ratio is five to one, meaning five Ukrainian casualties for every one Russian casualty. | ||
| That's 50 to 1 when you play it out. | ||
| How do you win that war? | ||
| The answer is you don't. | ||
| Ukraine has lost. | ||
| Now, the brilliance of this 28-point plan was that it recognizes what I just described. | ||
| And Wyckoff got that right before Anchorage. | ||
| So this is a replay, but every time you get the Europeans and the Ukrainians involved, it falls apart. | ||
| I mean, Zelensky was in Spain recently, and people, analysts, couldn't figure out why he was in Spain. | ||
| The speculation is he was looking for real estate or looking at the real estate he already has. | ||
| But the tragedy here, Steve, by the way, I voted for Trump six times in three cycles, primary and general. | ||
| So my Trump credentials are pretty good. | ||
| The tragedy here is that this is now Trump's war. | ||
| And I said this during the transition. | ||
| I said it on your show then and early in the Trump administration. | ||
| I said, get out now on the best terms you can find, but just get out. | ||
| The longer this goes on, it goes from being Biden's war to being Trump's war. | ||
| And I think we've crossed that threshold. | ||
| This is Trump's war, but it's not too late to get out. | ||
| What I fear, and I talked to Amy Schlays about this recently because she's an expert on LBJ. | ||
| This is what happened to LBJ in Vietnam. | ||
| That was Eisenhower and Kennedy's war. | ||
| Johnson could have got out in 1965. | ||
| He didn't. | ||
| He persisted. | ||
| He destroyed his political career. | ||
| He destroyed his legacy. | ||
| People don't talk much about the great society. | ||
| You mentioned LBJ. | ||
| They think about Vietnam. | ||
| Trump's in danger of losing all of his accomplishments and all of his gains by losing this war in Ukraine. | ||
| So he just needs to get out. | ||
| Now, let me back to Venezuela. | ||
|

|
But hang on, Before, whoa, before he pivoted that. | |
| It's only his war if they agree to some peace deal where we're guaranteeing Ukrainian sovereignty because the European guarantees don't mean anything. | ||
| Or, as just Joe Scarberg walked through, we're putting in security guarantees that are tripwires, including when you say American contractors, you're just sending Tej Gil. | ||
| You're just sending basically American special forces who happen to be off the books, but it's still American. | ||
| So it's the only way Trump actually technically makes it his war is working on signing some deal where his administration is saying we're giving a long-term guarantee to the sovereignty of Ukraine. | ||
| I just don't even know how you can even contemplate that. | ||
| But if he doesn't do that, if he just walks away now, it's still Biden's war. | ||
| It's NATO's mess. | ||
| It's the EU's mess. | ||
| They created it. | ||
| They led the Ukrainians to destruction. | ||
| It's not his war until he gets involved in the security guarantees, correct? | ||
| Well, that's correct. | ||
| But I agree, Steve, but the sooner Trump gets out, the better. | ||
| But here's the point: the agreement you described with U.S. security guarantees, troops on the ground, et cetera. | ||
| Russia will never agree to that. | ||
| I agree that that would be the outcome, but that agreement is never happening. | ||
| Russia is never going to agree to it. | ||
| So I think we can take that off the table. | ||
| The U.S. and EU and NATO, Ukraine, we're very good at negotiating with ourselves. | ||
| We're awful at negotiating with the Russians. | ||
| We just, we fail every time. | ||
| So, yeah, that deal would basically make it Trump's war, but that deal is not happening. | ||
| There are two outcomes here. | ||
| One, just leave, just get out on the best terms you can, or do a deal that the Russians will agree with, which is basically Putin's term sheet, which I already described. | ||
| Those are the only two ways out. | ||
| Russia's not quitting. | ||
| They've given up too much already. | ||
| And they control too much land. | ||
| That's Trump. | ||
| They control too much land. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| We got to bounce for a commercial break. | ||
| Stick around. | ||
| We're going to pivot to the domestic, come back to hemispheric defense, covering all bases today in the war room. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| We rejoice when there's no more. | ||
|

|
Let's take down the CCP. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, I want to make sure we put this in the context of domestic. | ||
| Richard Barris joins us. | ||
| Barris, you've been pretty vocal on the weekend, putting up a bunch of your research. | ||
| Where do we stand right now? | ||
| As President Trump is spending time on trying to bring to the end the Connect part of the Third World War, a lot of folks are saying, hey, whoa, what about domestic, sir? | ||
| Hey, Steve, thanks for having me as always. | ||
| You know, the one positive thing we did here over the weekend was about this, that he was trying to end the war, the Russo-Ukrainian war, which he had promised to do when he ran for president. | ||
| That was the one positive thing we did here. | ||
| But majority still say, you know, they wish he would pivot to the domestic. | ||
| You know, look, I sent you the poll over the weekend about Israel. | ||
| And in some ways, for people who haven't seen it yet, sympathy for Israel fell to an all-time low. | ||
| It's about as popular. | ||
| Israel is about as popular as Antifa is in this country right now. | ||
| And this is part their fault. | ||
| It's part the fault of the strategy, their PR strategy. | ||
| And it's really, I would argue this, and I would tell people they got to keep this in mind. | ||
| This is voters being angry that they feel that this has supplanted their agenda, that the foreign policy is overtaking what they wanted the president to do when they were in Congress. | ||
| And I noticed while I was waiting, you put up Jake Sherman's reporting from Punch Bowl. | ||
| There's a lot. | ||
| Look, the fighting, the infighting, all of this is contributing to this in some way here, Steve, because you have some members who are trying to redirect and get the agenda back focused on the domestic and where people want it to be. | ||
| It never ceases to amaze me how voters, if you're a pollster and you do your job and you listen, how voters will tell you what's about to happen, you know, in DC before DC realizes it. | ||
| And DC has to react to that. | ||
| So, you know, again, over the weekend, it did get a little bit better this week when we have that question about asking voters what you want the administration to focus on. | ||
| But I think that the polling on Israel really is the headline here because in the graph you just showed, and that's why we wanted to point that out. | ||
| It's young MAGA, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, the right has to care about the future. | |
| Right. | ||
| I mean, there's going to be people who are phased out of this electorate. | ||
| That's my nice way of saying their concerns may have been the concerns of the last 10 or 20 years. | ||
| That was their agenda, their priority. | ||
| But you have to focus on the future of your movement and what they want. | ||
| Look at America first. | ||
| 25 to 29 who identify as America first actually sympathize with the Palestinians more now than they do with Israel. | ||
| Let me drop this bomb on everybody listening who didn't see this poll. | ||
| There's a reason for this. | ||
| We asked whether or not people thought what is happening in Gaza amounts to a genocide. | ||
| Young America first. | ||
| And by young, I mean under 50. | ||
| If you are under 50 and you identify as America first, you think what's happening in Gaza right now is a genocide. | ||
| I mean, it's genocide plus eight, Steve. | ||
| What else is there to say? | ||
| I mean, for people who don't understand, if you're 50 and older, maybe you're still watching Fox News and you're still listening to that all day. | ||
| And you're getting your information from the traditional channels and cable news and Murdoch Inc. | ||
| If you're under 50, you're not. | ||
| You're getting your information from social media, getting it from podcasts. | ||
| I just want to make sure, I just want to make sure, I just want to make sure I understand this. | ||
| So under 50, they don't believe when the Israelis say, hey, look, we had the worst terrorist attack since World War II or the worst attack on the Jewish people since World War II, an attack like a Pearl Harbor. | ||
| We came back to defend ourselves. | ||
| And part of that was, hey, we've tried to work with these guys for 30 or 40 years or since 2005, I guess, 20 years. | ||
| We can't do it anymore. | ||
| We've got to go and we're going to go in block by block. | ||
| And seeing that war, right? | ||
| And seeing that war, which is still not over, because Hamas is saying, hey, we're not going to disarm. | ||
| And it looks like, I don't know, it looks like the Americans, the Turks, the Qataris are all comfortable with that. | ||
| But the young American people under 50 are saying, we've heard that, we've seen that. | ||
| But when we see what we got, we're saying that's not Israel's self-defense, but that is actually genocide. | ||
| Genocide is a pretty dramatic term, right? | ||
| It means the organizing eradication of a people. | ||
| So for those people to say that, that's a pretty stark warning for folks. | ||
| At least you've lost the narrative war and somehow you may not be able to get this back. | ||
| You may not be able to go and convince them that the Greater Israel Project is something that's worthwhile. | ||
| That's not going to happen. | ||
| That's not. | ||
| I mean, I'm just going to say that right now. | ||
| That is not going to happen. | ||
| This has been a trend that has been going on for a while. | ||
| But what has happened in Gaza and what people have been viewing over the last just 60, 90 days alone, Steve, has accelerated this trend that all things being equal, if there was no big events and you just look at the data by age and how views have changed, we shouldn't be here with Israel right now. | ||
| We should not be here right now at 29% sympathy with Israel. | ||
| That would have taken eight years without what's going on in Gaza. | ||
| If we just would have left the trend continue as it has been in the past, right? | ||
| And of course, we're making a lot of assumptions there, but it accelerated what is an eight-year trend, which should have taken eight years to 60 days, Steve. | ||
| 60 days. | ||
| It's not going to happen. | ||
| You're never going to convince the American people because all you have now is the right 50 and above, and the support levels aren't even there anymore. | ||
| What they used to be, they're not there anymore. | ||
| So even older people now have begun to shy away from this. | ||
| And it's coming from, I think it's coming from two places. | ||
| One is a bit of resentment that they wanted the administration to focus more on the domestic. | ||
| But the other part is what they see. | ||
| That is what they tell us. | ||
| You cannot go to the microphone or tell Fox News, look, it's not our policy to starve out a population. | ||
| And then they have the ability to go to social media, go to Instagram, go to X, go to Getter, right? | ||
| And watch a minister from the cabinet say the exact opposite. | ||
| So it's just, we're getting information very differently these days. | ||
| And gaslighting doesn't work the way it used to work. | ||
| And when it comes to war, I think people misunderstand how Americans view war. | ||
| They're not weak, but they need a serious justification to conduct violence. | ||
| And on behalf of another country, they're just not willing to see that, Steve. | ||
| Look at how many people chose neither. | ||
| For people who haven't seen this, neither won. | ||
| So we ask whether you have more sympathy to Israel, to Palestine, neither or both. | ||
| And neither won, because that's where we are in this country. | ||
| We're done. | ||
| We want to wash our hands and deal with our own problems. | ||
| I know you're jammed, but I got to hold you over this. | ||
| It's so dramatic. | ||
| We got Rickards, we got Brat, we got Barris. | ||
| We're going to be joined by Solomon others. | ||
| We're going to jam it all in to kick off the week of gratitude, the only nation on earth that sets aside a special day to give thanks to God for our bounty. | ||
| Folks, it's all on the line here. | ||
| I'm telling you. | ||
| This is, as big as 24 was, we have a fight in front of us that we have to get very, very focused on. | ||
| And if people around President Trump are not going to get focused on it, then you, the war imposse, have to drive that focus. | ||
